RUSHING LEGISLATION. iJßvcrytliing in the nature of legislation is bjhig rushed now by both houses, and the Indications are that nearly all the most Jm|iortarit measures will be acted upon at an parly day. F A bill is now under consideration author izing the Comptroller to refund money to 1 terse ms who have paid double taxes, or whose property has been sold for taxes by mistake after taxes have Iks'ii paid. As the law now is there is no relief except through the Legislature, which is not an easy mode of relief, especially where the amounts are small. The bill will probably pass, as it is a very good measure. THE LIEN BILL. The mechanics lien bill that gave rise to so much discussion a week or so ago is now apparently almost forgotten in the press of work occasioned by the rapid introduction of other matters of different character, but Jof as much or greater importance. The prerequisite poll tax bill is progressing slowly and its friends still think it will pass by a good vote in spite of tho violent oppo sition exhibited to this measure by Demo crats as well as Republicans. THREE NEW COUNTIES. Three new counties are about to be estab lished, namely: DeSoto, from the east half of Manatee county, with tho county-seat at Pino Level; Lee county, from all the main land portion of Manatee county, with the county-seat at Fort Myers, and Osceola county, from portions of Orange and Brevard counties, with the county-seat at Kissimmee. Other counties are proposed, but, unlike tho others, there is considerable opposition to them notwithstanding the im mense territory in that section of the State. A RAILROAD’S BIG DIVIDEND. The Georgia’s Stockholders Get Ten Per Cent—The Surplus. Augusta, Ga., May 11. —The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Georgia Railroad and Banking Company was held to-day. The report of President Phiuizy shows the affairs of the company to be in admirahle condition, highly satisfactory to the st<x-kholders, ami creditable to tho man agement of the President and cashier. W. E. McCoy, Boykin Wright and Leonard Phiuizy 'were elected directors to fill vacancies in the board, caused by tho death of John Davison and M. P. Stovall and the resignation of Ferdi nand Phinizy. Tho stockholders determined not to divide the surplus, but to use it for bunking capital. Ten per cent, is a magnif icent dividend and tho stockholders are sat isfied with it. The directors of the Port Royal and Western Carolina railroad met to-day and authorized bond issue. The Blackwood habeas corpus case is on in the Superior Court. It wig be concluded to-morrow. The evidence adduced so far does not substantiate the charge of kidnap ping. DRAGGED TO DEATH BY A MULE. Horrible Fato of an Industrious Young Farmer In Scriven. Sylvania, Ga., May 11.—Wilson Wil liams, who lived at Bascom, seven miles above this place, met a horrible death yes terday afternoon. He had been plowing, and after the day’s work was done started for home, riding sideways on his mule. The mule became frightened' at something near the road and shied, throwing Mr. Williams off, and, unfortunately, in tno fail his legs liecamc entangled in the gear, and he was draggl'd over the ground with horrid rapidity for over a mile, the terrified mule kicking -him ut almost every step. A negro boy, who was along when tne mnle became frightened, followed as fast as possible, but when he found Mr. Williams lying uiion the ground there was not the faintest glimmering of life remaining. His body was bruised and the bones broken, and his head mutilated in a shocking manner. slr. Williams was a hard-working, industrious, honest young man, and his untimely and awful death is a great shock to his friends. He leaves a wife and several small children. SHOT BY TWO BROTHERS. A Court Room Janitor of Jacksonville on His Death Bed. Jacksonville, Fi.a., May 11.—Capt. “Zaok” Haddock, a one-anned white man and noted character about the city, was shot near his home, some two miles from this city, to-night by two brothers named Charles ami William Page. Haddock was hit in the head and is thought to be fatally wounded. Tho cause of the difficulty is not known in town to-night. Haddock for some time past has acted as a messenger and janitor about the United States court room and was regarded as perfectly harmless and inoffensive In disposil ion. The Pago brothers kept a small store anil butcher shop near the scene of the shooting. They are under arrest. Auburndale’s New College. AununNDALE, Fla., May 10.— At the aunual meeting of the Episcopal diocceo of the State of Florida, which convened at Gainesville on Wednesday of last week, n college for the higher education of young ladies was located at this place.

In the fifth inning New Orleans made eight runs, pounding the balls thrown by Veach, who was pitching for Memphis, in every direction. Force and Doyle made some very glaring errors, all of which goaded New Orleans on to victory. The feature of the game was the terrific slugging done by New Orleans. Mobile plays here to-morrow, and New Orleans leaves to-night and will play at Nashville to-morrow. The score by innings was: Memphis 00 2 40000 0— 6 New Orleans 00008004 x—l 2 Nashville Having a Picnic.

Rev. C. E. Chichester, chaplain of the Charleston Port Society, has gone North. The object of his mission is to raise more money lor the Port Society, whose property was so badly damaged by the earthquake in August last.

A Supposed Corpse Shipped on a Rail road Repains Consciousness. Vincennes, Ind., May 9.—During the afternoon session of the Lutheran Evangeli cal Synod, at Booneville, Philip Gyer, a •wealthy citizen of Mount Auburn, 0., who was present as a delegate, arose to mako a few remarks. He had scarcely risen from his scat when he was noticed to stagger, and the next second fell on the floor dead. A physician was called and pronounced his case apoplexy. The remains were hurried ly prepared for burial and ordered shipped at once to the home of the deceased. Ten hours after the supposed death the remains arrived here by special train from Evans ville. John Kuster, the baggagemaster, assisted by Clark Harvey, transferred the corpse from an Evansville and Terre Haute to an Ohio and Mississippi train. Harvey declares that he heard the dead man kick against the lid of the box three or four times. Mr. Kuster said: “I have handled more coffins than any man about this depot, and I flatter myself that I am not supersti tious. The sensation I experienced in lift ing the coffin from one car to another was the same as lifting a crate having a live calf in it. The coffin seemed to be alive. There was no dead weight about it. We only hail a few minutes in which to transfer the remains, but it was suggested by some of the boys that the box be opened and an examina tion made of the corpse. To this a strenuous objection was entered by an unknown gen tleman who accompanied the remains.” Depot Master Mechlin telegraphed from here to Washington requesting that the coffin on arrival there be opened and an ex amination made of the body. There, as here, the man who had charge of the corpse again interposed. AVord was sent from Washington to the Chief of Police at Cin cinnati, and word was telegraphed that on the coffin being opened the man was lying on his face, his shroud was tom, and there were other indications going to show that Gyer had come to life after having been placed in the coffin. Advice to Mothers. Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup should always be used when children are cutting teeth. It relieves the little suffer at once; it produces natural, quiet sleep by relieving he child from pain and the little cherub awakes as “bright as a button.” It is very pleasant to taste. It soothes the child, softens the gums, allays all pain, re lieves wind, regulates the bowels, and is the test known remedy for diarrhoea, whether arising from teething or other causes. 25 cents a bottle.
