6 GEORGIA AND FLORIDA. NEWS OF THE TWO STATES TOLD IN PARAGRAPHS. Workmen ar.d Hod Carriers at Athena Strike and Carry their Point on a Compromise--A Negro Boy Dies of Hydrophobia in Dougherty County— Brunswick to Have a Refinery of Wood Products. OKORGIA. Henry Fletcher (colored), of McVille. who Was tried at the recent term of the Superior Court for the murder of his first wife and •was acquitted, has just lost his second wife from duentery. At Athens Sunday night MeGinty & Co.’s mules were let out of the stables by some malicious parties, and had it not been for the police, the Ann of MeGinty & Cos., would have been greativ inconvenienced Monday. The police caught the animals on the campus and returned them to the stables. A little negro boy named Amos Nelson, the son of Ed Naison, died of hydrophobia on J. L. Dozier's plantation, in the western part of Dougherty county, on Sunday. He was bitten by a dog about four weeks ago and showed the unmistakable symptoms of rabies on Sunday morning, lie had one convulsion after another and suffered ex cruciatingly until he died. A company has been formed, with a capi tal of $50,w0, to erect at Brunswick a refinery of wood products, such as alcohol, turpentine, rosin, oil, creosote, acetic acid, etc., provided suitable armngemer.t* can be made for ground, etc. The crude material will lie made at die dilferentsuw mills along the line of roads leading to the city, and only the refining lie done ut Brunswick. The kitchen, an out house and a large amount of provisions and farm supplies, be longing to Mrs. Parish Furman, m Scotts boro, six miles below Milledgeville, were consumed by lire Thursday evening, just after dinner. The loss is about Sl.OOo. with no insurance. The fire is supposed to have accidentally originated in the supply house. Mrs. Furman had hist returned from At lanta, and was sick in lied when the fire broke out. The dwelling house was saved from tlie flames by the work of neighbors. The Coroner left Cartersvllle Tuesday to hold an inquest over the body of a negro, Babe Stafford, who had died from the effects of a blow on the head inflicted with the post of a chair by Dee Stafford. This was an unprovoked murder, and the ac cused will doubtless suffer the extreme penalty of the law. It seems that the two boys (they are only 18 or JO w -s old), who have the same surname, but not related, were sitting in the cabin with some children when the children got into a fuss, in which they took a part, with the fatal results above recorded. Brunswick Herald: Some little time ago the lumbermen held a meeting and de manded of the owners of the Brunswick and Western road that they put their property in such a condition as to enable them to get their freights promptly. The owners asked for an extension of time, which the lumber men granted, until Thursday, May 5. It was rumored that the owners had agreed to put the road in first-class condition in the next thirty days, and that seventy-five miles of new steel rails liad been ordered to carry out the agreement. We hope that this may be true, for it will not only lienefit Brunswick’s shipping interest, but will add to the receipts of the road. Brunswick Advertiser: The advantages of this port are not half appreciate '. We often speak of our “water front,” on. “deep water," etc., but we do not realize what we really have. By way of giving a true idea, we will state that a steamer making ten knots an hour can sail for four hours around our harbor and not go over the same waters twice and always be in “deep water” and never out of the harbor, nor out of sight of the water tower, and best of all, perfectly land-locked, and free from the effi>cts of storms. Few cities can honestly and trpiv.. make such an assertion. Yes. we have Ijhr bor room enough, with deepwater to anchor in, to float the navies of the world. The Superior Court at Montieello has ad journed, and good work was done for four and a half days. An interesting case was Anderson Headlv (colored), tried for arson, in burning a dwelling in the country in 1884. Anderson was aiTested, put in jail, escaped with others, was rearrested in Mil ledgeville and again confined, but this time in a cage. Anderson’s so-called second wife testified lioth against and for him, claiming that she told on him from fear of chastise ment. The impeachment was overruled. Neighbors from a distance and all the hands and families on the place of the burn ing, except Anderson and nis wife, testified. The case went to the jury before sundown. Tlie jury was out ail night and next day. The case resulted in a mistrial. At Athens Monday morning the workmen of M. B. MeGinty & Cos., enguged in putting up the public school building, struck. A large numlw of hands are employed on this building, and as the city is anxious to have the building in time for the fall opening of school, a long delay would have been dam aging to both parties. The trouble came from the fact that workmen and hod car riers employed on the Bloomfield building on Clayton street wore getting larger pay than were Mr. MeGinty "s hands. The de mand was formally preferred, and after a short delay Mr. MeGinty consented to the request and work was resumed. Mr. Mc- Ginty stipulated in his consent, however, that the horn - of beginning work must lie earlier and the time of quittiug later. Al together both contractor and hands have probably made a good thing of the issue, and work was only suspended a short time. MeVille, situated as it is, astraddle of Gum Bwamp, a part in Telfair and a part in Mont#>mery, is always dull when Superior Court is in session in either county. But the court in Montgomery is cut off in the midst of its proceedings, consequent upon the sickness of the Judge, to be reconvened the first Monday in June. So the trial which ha excited absorbing interest in that section —that of T. J. Davis for the murder of Tom Miller—will rest until then. In the meantime Davis will take lodgings in the Macon jail. The fathers and grandfathers of the younger generation of Millers and Da vises were antagonistic to each other. 11l ‘•ilays of yore’’ the Millers were wealthy in cattle and negroes, and the Davises were called “good livers,” and the two families lived in the same militia district, and from some cause they were always in an imbroglio, and, the Davises being noted for physical manhood and as invulnerable us an uliigator. the Mil lers Imported a man by the name of Dawson to do their fighting. Dawson was it 200 pounder, a paragon of superior physioal ability, but Tom Davis, the father of T. J., in a fight with him, which lasted over an hour, come out victorious. Dawson dei)art>sl to other clinics and the two fnmiliw in the course of time became nominal friends until the fresh outbreak lost fall, in which Tom Miller, a good citizen, lost his life. FLORIDA. Mr. Wilkins has moved his photograph gallery to Altoona from Umatilla. Two now two-story buildings are going up at Altoona—a wagon shop and a drug store. Mt. Heasnnt is still improving. Shep ard & Bro. have finished their fine resi dence. It is said that the Mt. Pleasant Hotel will be opener! soon for the summer. The hotel is for sale. The formers around Mt. Pleasant are looking a little blue and say that they nend rain very bad. Mr. Oibbera. living near Mt. Pleasant, a few days ago killed throe large snakes, f>, 7 and 8 feet Jong W. O. & H. C. Loo, of Mt. Pleasant, have just received the largest stock of goods ever received in tho place. At Anthony crops are said to bo doing well, and farmers are more hopeful. The merchants have no cause to complain, one store haviuf taken in 9190 in one day for goods a few days ago. This is regaided us very fair business at this reason. Tlie infant child of Mayor T. N. Jenkins, j of Seville, was left for a short time with ; another child. 5 years old. The latter got [ bold of a bottle of paregoric and poured i quite a quantity in the baby’s mouth, which it swallowed, and death resulted in a short time. Cant J. N. Jones, of Gainesville, ha? a 1 toothjof some animal, possibly a whale. It is nearly seven inches long and weighs one ; pound and a half, and is solid ivory. It | was found bv John Hall between Rowell ! and Crosby takes. The Captain is going to lay it away for the sub tropical exposition. At Longwood Sunday morning, while fighting tire at F. H. Rand’s grove and resi dence, J. N. Park wa-s struck by a falling tree and rendered unconscious for a short while. He was removed to the residence of E. E Peters. It was thought first that ho was seriously injured, but after examina tion it was found that this was a mistake. Last Friday Capt. Charles A. Sheldon, of Gainesville, received by express from Madi son, Fla., one of a pair of Colt’s revolvers that he carried every day for two years during the late civil war. " At the close of the war a gentleman in Madison county got possession of the weapon, and has since, until now, refused to return it to Capt. Sheldon. It is a rusty “old timer,” but it will long be kept by the Captain as a relic of days past and gone. It is understood that Judge Foster will tie relieved in a day or two, and a large delega tion from Orlando arrived at Tallahassee Tuesday with Mr. Hammond, candidate for Judge of the Seventh Circuit, and his inter ests are being zealously guarded. Mr. Broome, of Volusia, also a candidate, has been at Tallahassee for some time, and the claims of both men are being presented to the Governor. Mr. Beggs has withdrawn li favor of Mr. Hammond. About 8 o’clock Sunday morning tlie law office of C. M. DuPreo at Anthony was dis covered to be on fire. An entrance to the office was forced and the flames, which were making good headway, was soon extin guished. The only damage was the burn ing of a 15-inch square holo in the floor and the consuming of a wooden spitttoou into ' which a cigar stump or match was thrown the previous evening. But for the timely discovery the entire building, with the three adjacent buildings, including the po6t office, would have soon been reduced to a heap of ashes. Ou Friday last Mrs. J. C. Newcastle, whose husband was shot near Fort Meade on Jan. 9, last, was, on the affidavit of Dr. C. C. Newcastle, brother of the deceased, placed under arrest and held for prelimi nary trial for the murder of her husband. Her case was called upon Saturday before Justices Fortner and Durranee, but, to en able tlie prosecution to obtain additional evi dence, it was adjourned until Tuesday. The case occupied the whole day and resulted in the defendant being held under a SSOO bond, a? an accessory before the fact, for her ap pearauce before the next session of the grand jury, which meets on May 16 next. Bail was at once obtained and the defendant re leased. There entered the port of Pensacola during the month of April 41 vessels, having an ag gregate tonnage of 38,721; cleared during the same period were 56 vessels, the combined tonnage of which was 40,004. The shipments for the month to foreign ports were 174.114 cubic feet of hewn timlier, 16,108,000 superficial feet of sawn timber, 9,462 cubic feet of cedar, and 5,899,000 su perficial feet of lumber, valued at $267,608. The shipments coastwise were 4,212,1)00 su • perfieial feet of lumber, valued Rt $50,000. The value of tlie shipments to foreign [lorts for April, 18*6, was $258,111, showing a gain in April, 1887, of $9,897. The shipments for last month, reduced to superficial feet, were 28.511,924, the total valuation being $317,608. Of the 41 vessels entered, 32 were from for eign ports, their aggregate tonnage lieing 25,370. Their crews numbered 463 men. Of the 56 vessels cleared, 46 were for foreign ports, their tonnage aggregating 36,369. Monday night and Tuesday morning, : United States Deputy Marshal John B. Griffin, of the Northern district of Florida, delivered to United States Deputy Marshals R. H. Somerville and W. D.

The de livery of the prisoners took place on the State lines near Floniaton. R. S. Campbell accompanied them for the purpose of appear ing in their defense. Tlie offense of tlie par ties was the homesteading of certain lands in Alabama some years ago, in which action the homesteaders tailed to comply with all the requirements of the luw in that con nection. Hon. John W. Maddox. /•Vom the Some Courier. As the first term of Floyd Superior Court, over which Judge Maddox has presided, is about to come to a close, it will be gratify ing to his many friends all over the State who supported him so warmly for the posi tion to learn that he has fully justified their high estimate of his ability and fitness in every way for the place by his course on the bench and in the very general satisfac tion he has given the bar and the people wherever he has held a court in his circuit. The leading memliers of the Rome liar are unanimous in their expressions of satisfac tion with him as an able, conscientious and impartial Judge. One of the oldest and ableet members of them speaking of Judge Maddox voiced the general sentiment when he said: “I think ho has sustained himself all around the circuit, giving satisfaction to both the people and the lawyers. He is a man of ouick apprehension, fine ability, excellent memory, attentive to the conduct of the cases before him and very clear in his charges to the juries.” Those who opposed his elec tion as Judge are equally warm in their ex pressions ot satisfnction'with his course as those who zealoussy supported him. In the last four weeks he Ims dispatched the busi ness of the court with great rapiditvas well as impartial fairness in all eases that have come before him. His decisions, like his charges, are commended as models of lu cidity and terseness. Thoroughly compe tent in ability, conscientious, honest, im partial and with dear convictions of right and justice as admitted by all, Judge Mas! dox has in him the stuff of which the best and most honored Judges are made, and we predict for him a brilliant career. A Thrilling Experience. hVom the Buena Vista (Ga.) Patriot. \V. H.

Philadelphia's Strange Sect Whoee Deity Was a Woman. A lluladolphia dispatch to tlio New York Herald says: Woman worshiper*: I Yes legal proceedings commenced yesterday ; it this city recall tile remarkable sect of woman worshipers that, existed in this city for over a quarter of a century. In brief, suit has been begun against Met* Meister and other heirs of the late Anna Meister, the founder of the remarkable re ligious sect known ns the Eilmar Mira Mitta | Congregation of the Lord. Tins congregation was formed in 1855, and had various meeting places, where ! they listened to the instructions of the j founder. The association in 1864 gave money to Anna Meister to purchase suitable property for their use. She bought the house No. 11218- South Eleventh street and the title was made out in her own name. Anna Meister died in Januai-y, 1884, un married and intestate, and the property : passed into the hands of her sisters, Meta Meister and Salome, Bletman, and other re latives. The plaintiffs in the case claim to have contributed the amounts stated toward the purchase of the property in dispute: Philip Becker, $2,475; Christine Becker, $75; Jacob Endress, $800; Lisette Munzert, $1,000; August Wonner, $300; Caroline Lang, $200; Juiia Ruttman, $l5O. The bill asks the court to compel the defendant to convey the property to t nein, claiming that Anna Meis ter purchased it as their agent. Thu congregation applied for a charter in 1885, hut the application was refused by Judges Peirce and Biddle. CURIOUS DOCTRINE. The following strange features of the faith were published during the argu ment: Meta Meister, a sister of Anna Meister, declared that Anna had often asserted that she was the Holy Ghost, the third iierson of the Trinity, and should be worshiped ac cordingly." Anna, as said, denounced the marriage relation, and thought that hus band and wife should live together as brother aud sister. A picture in Anna Meister’s house repre sented her as the Holy Ghost. Mary Rapp, one of the congregation, testi fied to the lact that Anna Meister required the members to worship her as a God. They prayed to her, saying: “We come to thee, Holy Spirit; we come to thee, Holy Mira Mitta; forgive us our sins.” Mira professed to have the power to forgive sins as the third person of the God head. Her adherents would prostrate them selves before her and worship her. On festival occasions—the greatest of which was her birthday—Mira Mitta, it was shown, would array herself in a rest velvet gown or one of white silk, erubroid eresl with the sun, moon and stars, and put on a crown studded with precious stones, said to lie diamonds. A PECULIAR PEOPLE. She used water, wine and bread in her communion service. She rejected the Bible and requiresl her followers to say prayers at 5, 6,9, 11 and 12 am., and 3, 5 and 9p. m. They were obliged to confess their omissions to pray, and she would then scold and berate them, sometimes striking them with her hand or a book. In return for these punish ments the people would thank the woman and declare that she had whipped the sins out of them. Those who obeyed her teachings were told that they would never die; that the world would come to an end in 1885, but that her followers would survive under a new dispensation. The congregation, it is said, believed her to be immortal. One room of her house con tained a bedstead and bureau which she de clared were reserved for the Saviour, whoso bride she professed to be. Mira also preached that there was a wpy q{ peopling the earth known only to hev-os one of the Trinity, and that thriir Ability in this direction depended upon their faith in her power. < ’ ten) ; For twenty-five years this strange woman taught her peculiar doctrine ’to the people who followed her. nun.' .Several of the congregation webd wealthy and uo expense was spared iii fitting up the building in which the service* were held. She exercised unlimited sway over her con gregation. At her death tliey worshiped her as a saint. The application for the charter was op posed by the relativ es of the eccentric woman and by the General Council of the Evangeli cal Lutheran Church. What the Engineer Said. From the Smithville (Ga.) News. “Well,” said the engineer, as he lit a fresh cigar in the piazza of the McAfee House, “lonly ran over one man since I’ve been on the rouii, and God kuows I don’t want to run over another!” “How did it happen?” asked a reporter for the Bmithvillo News, drawing uo a chair. “It was years ago, when I was in the em ploy of the Brunswick and Western. We left Brunswick one dark night with a heavy freight—some forty odd cars, if my memory scri es me right—and as we were pulling out I noticed a rather well-dressed young man running along by the engine and try ing to get behind the lender to steal a ride. He succeeded in catching on all right, and I made up my mind to give him the gi-nnd bounce at the first station; but death kinder got ahead of me that time, for just as we were nearing the station, and running slow, the poor fellow, fearing he would be seen, tried to jump off and was caught between the wheels. “He was fearfully crushed, but he had life enough left to point to his pocket and murmur the name, ‘Mother,’ once or twice before he died. We understood, and made him know that we did, arid he seemed satis fied, “Sure enough there was a letter in his pocket, with something to this effect, writ ten on it: “ ‘lf God will help me to get there I’ll be home in two weeks. So keep a light heart, mother!’ “1 think he got ‘home’ sooner than he ex expected, but I guess the old ladv’s heart was weary waiting for him! Have you a match alxnit you! Mv cigar’s gone out.” He is a Genius. From the Buena Vista (Ga.) Patriot. Mr. Charles Knowltou, who is the fore man of tho grand jury of the present term of our court, is a genius and withal a clever gentleman. He lives in the eastern part of the county, has a prosperous milling busi ness and a good farm. On his place is a mineral spring which is known throughout this section, and as testimony of the faith Mr. Knowltou has in its virtues, he is build ing and lias nearly complet'd a house suffi ciently large to accommodate those who wish to take advantage of its medicinal properties. He is a systematic man and his entire premises; which is but a reproduc tion of tin' Northern idea of comfort, is arranged lor convenience. He will have a system of water works from the spring to his house, by means of a pump, and the power to work this pump will lie from his jiond. The wn#r main will lie of pine sap lings, bored and jointed by himself, which will not only give a bountiful supply of water for tho use of his residence, but for every other purpose on the premises. He is a natural genius in the mechanical art, and came by it honestly. His father was a na tive of New York hit ate, ami ciuno South before tho subject of this brief notice was !>orn. lie took the contract and laid the first water works system that Augusta ever had in tho year IRgM, using Ixvred pine logs, as tlv- luetullc pijiiug now in use was not then in vogue. Mr. Knowlton suys that when ha last visited Augusta, tUi'oo or four years ago, a portion of tliis old water works system was still In use. S> IZODONT the ladles' pride. Only rivals it deride.
