6 GEORGIA AND FLORIDA. NEWS OF THE TWO STATES TOLD r>r pahagbaphs. 'i’bo Night Watchman Murder Case on Trial at Augusta—University Stu dent® Creates a Big Sensation at Athens—The Milledgeville Peddler’s Koll of Money not Counterfeit After AIL GEORGIA. S. B. Jenkins, who was tried at the late term of Stewart Superior Court on the charge of assault with intent to murder, and who was remanded to jail in default of bond, died in the jail at Lumpkin on Satur day night last. Fulton county wants to spend $500,000 on her public roads, and is going to ask the Legislature during the summer session to give her authority to issue bonds to pay for the work. She wants to macademize all the public roads in the county, and thinks $500,- 000 expended in that way will be a good in vestment. The case of Col. J. H. Martin, managing editor of the Atlanta Journal, charged by Jacob Burtz with criminal libel, come up before Justice Manning at Atlanta Monday. It was shown that the item to which MV. Burtz objected was neither written by Col. Martin nor submitted to him, and he was promptly discharged. At Marshailville Sunday afternoon at 3 o’clock, S. H. Humph, nurseryman and fruit grower, met a calamity in the burning of his stable and contents, with seven line mules. The loss is about 91,500. About a year ago, on a Sunday afternoon, the same thing nearly happened, but assistance being immediate the mules and stock were saved. The work of tearing away the building recently occupied by Ham, Johnston & Cos. and Robert Pause was begun at Atlanta Monday. This is done to make way for the new bank building to be erected by Messrs. Gould and Van Dyke. It is expected that the old building will be tom away and that ground will be broken for the new within two weeks, and by Deee. 1 what prom isee to be one of the’ finest buildings in At lanta will be ready for occupancy. At Albany Monday a compromise was effected between Col. Tift and the County Commissioners, and at 4 o’clock that even ing the toll bridge across the Flint river was free and at 5:30 o’clock the stores all closed and a large crowd of citi- Kis, headed by the Albany cornet band Mill a detachment of the Jackson Light mk' i llery, crossed to the eastern shore of the Hver, where music was dispensed by the Hpid and several salutes fired by the "artil in honor of the occasion. jggtnformation reached Way cross Monday that a terrible shooting affray had at Valdosta between the Boyd and the S willy brothers. The of the affray was bad feeling which between them on account of an old trouble, and the Boyd brothers ac- the Swiny brothers of setting fire to woods. The Rwilly brothers were on HHcir wav home when the Boyd brothers overtook them, and hot words were ex changed. Both parties drew their revolvers and commenced firing at each other, during which one of the Boyd brothers was shot in the thigh and dangerously wounded, and one of the Swilly brothers was shot in the mouth, and the other received a dangerous wound in the breast. At Augusta Monday the Superior Court was engaged all day in hearing the case of Adolphus Leopard,* charged with the mur der of William Brooks, at Algernon Mills, about two weeks ago. About twenty wit nesses testified. The substance of their tes timony was that on the night in question Brooks, who had occupied the position of night watchman, and was succeeded by Leopard, went to the mill gate and leaned against the post, sharpened his knife on his shoe sole and called for Leopard. Upon lI4S arrival at the fence Brooks said: “You have taken my job from mo and I intend to kill you.” Then he jumped against the gate and cut at Leopard through the fence. As he did so Leopard jumped back, drew his re volver and fired, killing Brooks almost in stantly. At Athens Sunday night, immediately after the Salvation Army meeting, the Uni versity students marched uu the street in a body singing, and when Policeman Uood nnn attempted to arrest one of them he was sneerfea at by the crowd, which pro voiced his wrath to such an extent that he threatened to fire upon them. At this the boys rushed to the college armory, and forc ing on entrance ariued themselves with muskets and bayonets, and marched through the town 1.50 strong. It was not tho intention of the boys to 'create any disturbance, as they were very orderly and the guns were not loaded. They only did it for nmuse nieut; but the police force had an idea that a riot was about to ensue, and Chief Oliver summoned a large posse of citizens to sup press it. When the students were informed of this proceeding by a committee of the citizens, they expressed regret that they should have created such an impression, and quietly marched hack to the campus and disarmed themselves. The affair is much talked of, and many still believe that it was the intention of the students to create a riot, but such was not their inten tion. However, they certainly created a big sensation, and the streets were crowded with excited citizens. A rumor reached Alpharetta on Saturday last from a remote corner of the county that one Henry Patrick (colored) and sov eral of his family liad died within the last week from some strange cause. Along with this came the further rumor that 1). P. Mor ris. who runs a grist mill in tho community of Patrick's home, had for some time past been missing meal from his mill, and in or der to detect the thieves ho had mixed some poison in his meal, and that Patrick had got possession of the breadstuff thus diluted, and hud furnished it to his family, and thus the strange deaths were caused. Coroner N. 11. Broodwell hastened to the place* and with a jury from the vi cinity spent the day Saturday, in Inquiring into the matter. The jury re turned a verdict: Tliat Putrick came to his death from some unknown cause. On in vestigation it was found that there were no grounds for the rumors as to tho poison theory. The coroner mid many others that were at tho inquest are lif tho opinion that tho negroes have been dying from the want r.f meal and other eatables. And it de veloped that what they had eaten for some time past was actually given them by Mr. Moms. There are seven small children of the family still 'oft, some of whom are sick, nnd all of whom look as if they were starving. Ar already stated in the News, a com monly drowsed man walked Into tho Mill edxevllle batik at Milledgeville last week er.d proceeded to count off $5<H) in denomi nations ranging from $2 to S2O. He then wr ll.tsl up to tiio railing and requested Ml . Belliuno, the cashier, to exchange the money for $1(0 bills. When Mr. lietlruiie examined tno bills ho found that tbev J:d not appear to have ary signature. Believing the money to .v> spurious, tho Marshal of ( ho town was called 111 a:id the nun was arrested. On his p-r.-or. wt.i found about 3'.’,>01 in bills. He ra\e hri mono ns Patrick Dorrlhan, his business an otiticicti, und that he bad a cousin named William Ha.Tey, working at the water work* in Atlanta. At Macon Monday lie was tak*n before the United Htatcs Cominis, .toner, and Mayor Walker ‘and others testified as to tho tacts related nt ova The money was examined by J. ’V. Catsudsi, costlier of tue Exchange Bank, nnd found to be genuine bills on the banks of Atlanta, Amencus, Rome and other citica. lwldw treasury notes and silver cer tificates. On Bt/tne ot the bills tho mimes of the President of the bank appeared only, and on some only that of the cainier. When asked if ho dt sired to mako a statement lie said that ho would prefer U> wait until he could hear from William Hailey. Kc wus then released 011 his own bond. Dorriboa has been traveling about in the South for the past two years. Instead oi putting his money in lank he has kept it in a belt around Ids body, and the perspiration has absorbed tho written sig natures "on the bills, in some of the bills on tirelv obliterating them. Mr. Cabaniss is satisfied that the signatures wore taken out by perspiration and expressed his willing ness to take the bills. Dorrlhan is about M 0 years old. about 5 feet high, weighs about ISO pounds, black hair, full dark whiskers and hint little the appearance of an Irish man. He said that i'.e acted very green in carrying such largo sums of money about his person, and intimated that in future he would keep a bank account. FLORIDA. The rebuilding of the National Bank in the burned district at St. Augustine has be gun, and will be completed by August 1. The gentlemen who have tho subscription lists for funds to rebuild the Cathedral at St. Augustine are meeting with unexpected Success. The contributions are liberal in amount and cheerfully given. At St. Augustine largo quantities of coquina is being taken from the rains and used for sidewalks nnd repairing the city streets. Mr. Halett has laid a handsome walk in front of his property on Orange street with this material. Capt. R. G. Howell, of the Second Artil lery, died at the Mt. Vernon Barracks, Ala., on May 2. He was a son-in-law of Gen. R. B. Ayres, nnd was highly esteemed by tho officers and men of the regiment. The gar rison flag is at half-mast, and badges of mourning will be worn for thirty days. That portion of the Cushman property lying west of Cushman’s alley and fronting on Intendencia and Government streets, Pensacola, was sold Monday to David Wright, of New York, for 318,000. This makes an even 345,000 the same gentleman has invested iu Pensacola real estate in tho past month. The town of Palatka Heights is preparing to take a vote on the question of erecting a public school building, and the Council " ill consider an ordinance at its next meeting providing for an election for that purpose. It is proposed to raise $2,000 in this maimer, and that sum will be supplemented by pri vate subscriptions At St. Augustine on Friday as William Kennish was about to step in a carriage on his way to the depot, he found that his pocketbook was missing. It contained 8200 in cash and a nutnlier of valuable papers. He was about to leave for Brooklyn at the time he discovered his loss. He remained until the next day but failed to recover his property. The huge derrick and other parapherna lia which were used in boring the great ar tesian well at the Ponce de Leon Hotel at Bt. Augustine have been removed. A cap has been placed over the pipe temporarily, and whenever required water will flow at about the rate of 9,000,000 gallons per day, enough to supply a city three times the size of that. Maj. IV. P. Couper, chief of the land de partment of the Florida Southern Railway Company, says that there is at present a greater demand for the lands of the com pany than for months pad, and that he is making a great many sales. His Western correspondence is growing very rapidly, and a great portion of the land has been sold to Calif ora ia people. Tuesday evening the bids for furnishing fuel forage for the ensuing year for the United States Garrison at St. Augustine were opened. The amount required is 1,150 cords of wood, 90 tons stone coal, 4,!H)0 pounds of oats, 6,500 pounds of hay and K,500 pounds of straw. Henry A. Barling, Jr., & Cos., were the lowest bidders for coal, oats, hay and straw, and J. F. Llambias for wood. The latest purchase made by Mr. W. H. Flagler will add another feature to the many attractions which Ht. Augustine al ready jxiesesses. Monday the completion of the purchase of 150 acres of land from R. J. Oliver, at Moultrie creek, was made by this public-spirited gentleman for the purpose, it is said, of constructing a handsome driving park. The village of Moultrie is a thriving town on Moultrie creek, six miles south of St. Augustine, and is locahsl in a high, rolling pine country. A shell road Is to be built from St. Augus tine to the driving park. The site of the park is also on the line of the proposed new railroad down the coast to New Smyr na. About a month ago H. R. McLeod, of Orange creek, was out in the woods on horseback, with a double-barrel shotgun, looking around. He spied a large buck, and let him have both barrels, which were loaded with buckahot. The deer tumbled over, and Mai- went up to him, drew his knife, seized hold of the antlers and drew the buck's head over to cut his throat. That is he made the attempt, but soon discovered that he hud hold of a lively corpse, nnd one that was full of war and wrath. Mac and the buck hud it nip and tuck. He wanted to let go and run, but that meant death to lum. Ho attempted to- change his knife from his left to his right hand, and in making the attempt cut an artery in his right wrist. The blood flew, and the palmottoos were dyed with tho fast flowing life-blood of Mac, who was momentarily getting weaker, and tho deer improving in action, wind and strength every second. “Just as everything was beginning to swim and things wore turning blue,” said Mac, “I saw my old dog coming a-chargiug.” Just at the nick of time the courageous dog dashed in and seized tho buck by the nose, throw him, and Mac succeeded in killing the deer. He bound up bis bleeding luma us best lie could and got back to camp, where his companions cared for him. Tho dog saved McLeod's life, as an angry, wounded buck is a dangerous animal. Mao has tackled his last doer. Did Not Know the President. fYom the Jacksonville Ttmes- Union. Monday afternoon, while walking around the passenger depot of the Savannah, Florida and Western railroad, Mr. H. B. Plant started into the baggage room, but on reaching the door he was stopped by the jKiliremaii there and told that he could hot enter. “Well, but 1 want to go in to transact some business,” said Mr. Plant. “Can't help it," replied the officer. “No one is allowed in this baggage room. You will have to go round to the end windows there to transact your business.” “But," replied Mr. Plant, hesitating a little, "my name is Plant.” “Can’t help that, sir,” replied the officer. “I can’t let you in bore; you will have togo round to the window.” “Pm the President of tho road," replied Mr. Plant. “Oh, beg you pardon, sir; pass in, sir; I didn't know that, Hope you will ex—” "Never mind that, - ’ replied the President. “You owe me no apologies. I liojje you will always do your duty as faithfully,” end Mi'. Plant disappeared behind Ihe trunks As Pretty as a Picture. V J'Vont the Southern Critic , Clrecnvilte, X. u. The Savannah Morning News, the most out spoken, spicy sad readable paper in Georgia, and in fact the whole South, has donned anew dress of plain, liold-face tvpo and now comes forth looking as bright and pretty as a blushing young maiden in her new spring bonnet, and h; equally as inter esting. That publication now in its thirty seventh year never harrows up tho fooling of its readers by gloom, malignity or bitter ness of nny ldnd. For this' reason it is a welcome visitor to our sanc tum, as it is always pleasant to take up, and it never leaves tho reader with uncomforta ble feelings. The Morning News is a most acceptable paper, both for the purity of its style and excellence of its matter, which is always void of offense to one’s finer und better feelings.
