A meeting of the stockholder of the Au gusta Ice Company was held Monday night. The charter granted the company by the Superior Court for a terra of twenty year, capital to lie $30,000, with the privilege of increasing it to $50,000, as drawn by Mr. W. K. Mailer, was accepted. An election of officers was then held and resulted as fol lows: President, Jesse Thompson; directors, Jesse Thompson, George R. Lombard, C. A. Robbe, D. Saneken, B. Lawrence and T. E. SO veil. Other essential officers will be ected at a subsequent meeting. The com pany is now having an arteeiuu well bored on their premises on Mclntosh street. The work was commenced about a week ago and they have reached a depth of 100 feet. A negro, called Gager Smith, boarded the down passenger train in Atlanta Monday to visit has mother, who lives near Palmetto. It is said he was sick when he left Atlanta, and that the railroad officials put him off the train at Fairbum because lie did not have money enough to go on to Palmetto. Parties in Fairburu mude up money and bought him a ticket to Palmetto and put him on the accommodation train and while he was being lifted off the train, or just be fore, the negro died. Mayor Johnston noti fied his relatives and also telegraphed Coro ner J. B. Mobley, who held an inquest, the jury deciding that he came to Lis death from natural causes unknown to them. His family was in Dougla-sville the last heard of them. The Bt. Simon’s hotel scheme looms up higher and higher. The incorporators of the scheme have just been down and laid out the plant more definitely. The first change made was to order u SOO,OOO hotel instead of a $2.3,000 one, work to begin at once. The company now controls nil tho land from the landing to a point opposite Postell's. A sea wall is to be built along tho entire sea front; from the wall liaek 150 feet comes the boulevard, then the lots 200 feet deep, and back of them will run the street car line. These lots will all be sold for building purposes. The Mcßae Club of Chuttanooga tiave spoken for lots on which to build. The hotel is to be located übout tlie centre of the line, so that every cottage will have tho saint- privileges, or as ueuiTy so as possible. The telegrams rolativo to the ]minting of a jiortrait of the uegress “Dot,” it is said, reached Mr. George I. Seney’s ears, and made that gentleman uneonifistable. It is said that ho uvou felt wounded, and the local paper u few days ago contained a column article about the matter, in which )t was stated that the Lucy Cobb girls sent Seney a telegram expressing their love and gratitude. Seney has done a great deal for the institute and deserves all its affection. Within the past few dan Im baa pi n ed the school under anew obligation by present ing a magnificent painting. It Li. the work of Elizabeth Gardner, and is entitled “La Confidence.” The painting represents two girls in nil the primo of glow ing womanhood, one with a letter in her luihd, presumably a love letter, acquainting the other with its contents. Tho work is splendidly executed, nnd is pronounced by good judges a most exquisite puintiug. The figures are life-size, and tho painting is per haps 0 feet by 8 feet.

He was reading some papers, and in no way molesting anyone or misbehaving. He answered the description given fre quently so accurately that the Chief decided to arrest him. Immediately after his arrest Berry was identified most positively by two ladies who have lodged complaint. lie was locked up, but was subsequently released on a 8200 bond, signed by Joseph Alexander. Berry denies lielng guilty of any offense, and says that he never insulted a lady in his life. Albany Xews and Advertiser: Last week the Xews and Advertiser published the particulars of the death of a little negro boy from hydrophobia, caused by the bite of a mad dog, on the plantation of Mr. J. L. Dozier, in the western part of this county. We also published a sad story from Calhoun county, in which Mr. IV. W. Rooks was re ported to be raving mad from the effects of the bite of a strange dog that visited his place and attacked him in his own yard on March 31. Yesterday we learned that Mr. Rooks was dead. This morning we have two or three more hydrophobic sensations to report. From Mr. A. P. Rives, of Ducker’s Station, who was in the city yesterday, we learned that a cow belonging to a negro named Jerry Green, on Mr. Dozier’s place, died of hydrophobia on Saturday. This cow was bitten by the same dog that bit the little ne gro whose death we reported last week. In the same neighborhood, on Morehead & Sal ter’s place, a calf was attacked with rabies and nad to be shot on Sunday morning. This calf was bitten by a dog that is sup posed to have been bitten by the same dog that bit the little negro and the cow on Mr. Dozier’s place. The story of another mad dog sensation comes from Baker county. From Mr. W. T. Coley, of this city, we learn that eight hogs belonging to his father, Mr. Reuben Coley, were wild with rabies on Sunday. There" had been a mad dog on the place, and he attacked the hogs before he was killed. Mr. Coley said bis father had about made up his nuud to kill the hogs on Sunday, as they are un doubtedly suffering with rabies arid are not only dangerous in their present condition, but doomed to die. At Milledgeville about 11:15 o’clock Mon day night about twenty pistol shots rang out on the quietness. Most of the citizens had retired for the night, and those that had not hastened to the scene of the shooting. It Was near the old factory site, and on reaching there the streets were full of negro women screaming, stating that Alex Day (colored), of Macon, had been killed. Such proved not the ease, but ho left immediately for parts unknown and has not been heard of since. The trouble seems to have arose from Day’s conduct on last Sunday evening towards some white couples who "were out walking. He ran against one of the ladies under escort of Mr. Southerland, and used some rough language in presence of the ladies. Mr. Southerland did not resent it there, but Monday morning met Day in the past office and had n difficulty and Southerland used a stick pretty freely. Everybody thought the difficulty was over with, and did not pay much attention to it; but it seems as if it were only smothered to break out still more furiously. The negro Day was stopping with stated that about the hour mentioned someone knocked at his door, and asked if Day was in. He gave them an evasive answer, but before he could say much Day caught on to the racket arid went out of a window, and than the shooting commenced. The parties wore only masks, not trying to disguise in any other way. They ran him about three blocks when they dispersed in time to avoid the crowd. The negroes are indignant and are pushing an investigation. It will not do for Day to dawn in Milledgeville soon again, for he would be roughly handled. Several negroes who took a prominent part have been served with bucket letters and.ordered to leave im mediately. FLORIDA. A load of watermelons came in to Fort Ogden Wednesday. '•'he Carrollton Hotel at DeLand has been reopened and will hereafter be an ’•all-the year” house. An office of the Southern Express Com pany has been opened at the railroad depot at New Smyrna. ’ New Smyrna’s news now travels over the world on the pages of a neat new paper called the Breeze. It is estimated that tho railroads in Volu sia county lrnve killed SIO,OOO worth of cat tle in the pust year. The DeLand college closed for the term on Wednesday night, with interesting ex ercises at the Baptist church. A. R. Jenkins, of Mieanopy. recently killed an alligator in Newnan’s lake, near Abbott’s fishing, which measured 13 feet in length. Rev. S. M. Simmons, in charge of the Baptist church at Boardman, has baptized ana added to the church 28 persons within the past three weeks. One hundred and fifty dollars changed owners in Orange City this week on a wager resulting from the Senatorial contest now pending at Tallahassee. Large quantities of young oranges aro falling from the trees in Putnam county, and the outlook for a large crop is not so good as it was a short time since. Millions of little moths have been noticed about Palatka in the past few days. They hover about the orange trees, aiid a short distance off look like clouds of smoko issuing from the trees. Will Mims, of LaGrange, received the contract let by Lieut. Purcell for tho gov ernment for tin- erection of telegraph poles from Titusville to Jupiter, at $2 20 per polo for 3,500, contract to be completed in four month*. F. H. Rand’s place, near Longwood, was almost devastated by lire on Friday last. It starti-d ns those fomst fires do, no one knows how, and before it was extinguished it liad leveled a number of fences mid scorched some of his orunge trees. Mr. Smith, of Jacksonville, of the firm of Tyson & Smith, has been on lndiau river looking up a route for the new steamer they propose to place on the river next season. This firm intend to build a very light-draft boat, new in every particular and speedy as well us combining light draft. Mr. Joseph Crisman. of Mieanopy. had a native persimmon grove in front of his resi dence, two miles west of town, grafted on the roots with choice varieties of the Japan j*rr simmon last winter. There were 250 roots grafted, of which 175 are now growing nicely, some of them having grown sprout-, two feet long already this year. Engineer Sa<-kctt found twenty-two feet and some inches fall between Lake Okee chobee and l-’orl Myers. He found twenty one feet of water between the latter and Punta Rassa, and found one place up the river foi-ty-two feet deep.

No insect pests disturb this tree, and the crop can be gathered at leisure and dried, canned or crystalized for market. There is a demand for all the white figs that can be grown, at SSO per ton, and at this rate tho crop from 10-year-old trees is worth s4ooau acre net. The unprecedented low water in Lake Monroe has developed numerous flowing mineral springs on the f hore. One has been discovered near the rowboat landing, oppo site the Brock House, yielding a large flow, which W. H. Barrett will endeavor to make both useful and ornamental with curbing aud pipe. There are probably several hun dred or these springs and artesian wells, large and small, along our beautiful lake shore. Pensacola Advance-Gazette: A pretty sight was to lie seen off the coast of Santa Rosa Island last Tuesday evening. It is supposed the owners of the Bride of Du ne decided to destroy her by lire. The mantle of darkness had scarcely overspread the sur rounding land and w ater when the flames could lie scon reaching heavenward. The dark background only added to the perfect picture, which is a rare scene—a burning ship at sea. The water for miles around was dazzled by the reflection of the flames. How long theseene remained visible cannot lie learned but, strango to say, the vessel is still in sight, and apparently uninjured by its visitation of fire. Palatka Xews: A beautiful meteor was seen about ti :40 Sunday night in the north eastern quarter of the sky, not far from the meridian of this place. It passed over an arc of nearly 70*, traveling slowly toward east southeast, and had somewhat the ap pearance of a large rocket. When about two-thirds of its course had been completed it broke into two parts, one following the other, while a tail of sparks streamed out for a considerable distance. In color it had a faint tinge of pink in the head, edged with blue on the eastern limb or edge of the foremost ball of fire. No report was heard and the meteor was evidently at a great distance. It was a beautiful and impressive sight. On Wednesday evening of last week there came near being a murder on the shore of Lake Harney, at what is known as Cook’s ferry. Alfred White and a man named Saxon, both white, had some words in re gard to the rent of a lighter or about pal metto roots, which they were getting out for the palmetto fibre factory near Sanford. The men had reached the shore in a boat, returning from a fishing expedition, when the quarrel ensued. White started to leave Saxon, when the latter pulled a 32-calibre revolver, and shot White twice in the right arm and in the right lung. White fell par tially in the water, aud Saxon shot at him again but missed him. Saxon then left the place. White was cared for, and at last accounts he was still alive, though the wound in the lung is considered dangerous. Bv far the largest sale of property made in Leesburg this year was that of the Pana soffkee orange grove, owned by J. G. and T. H. Herndon and G. M. Hubbard, which wus sold this week to Ralph T. King, of Cincinnati, 0., for $23,000 cash. The grove is situated in the western part of the comity, in a tract of 200 acres of fine hummock land. There are a large number of trees in grove form, besides thousands of young sour nursery trees. Although tho price paid is large, yet good judges claim that the grove is worth at least soo,ooo. Mr. King made the purchase in person. He says he will, if necessary, spend $20,000 in further improve ment of the place. The Panasoff kee orange grove cost Messrs. H., H. and H. $1,200, and although they did not get its full value, still the amount received for the property is a handsome increase on the amount of the original purchase. In a talk with the proprietor of one of the most popular saloons in Palatka Monday a Palatka Xews reporter learned some facts that will prove very gratifying to alt tem perance people. A few years ago beer had a very slow sale in the city, ana Wine was rarely called for over the counters of the saloons. Whiskies and brandies composed about the only beverages drank, and they were sold in large quantities. it £s quite different. Nearly all the drinkers prefer beer or light wine—-and" the bulk of the saloon business now consists of selling these beverages. The proprietor says that there is loss drinking in the city now than he has ever known, and, while his profits from the sale of the lighter drinks is not so heavy, 110 is well satisfied to have things as they are now. The quality of the beer sold has improved very much, and it is fast be coming the drink of the town. About 5 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, dur ing the thunderstorm, lightning struck a house at the corner of Bay and Fourth streets in LaVilla, which was occupied by John Hughes. Hughes and another man were in the northeast corner of the room, the former standing and the latter sitting near him. The bolt struck the chimney in the southwest corner of the room, passed down to tho ceiling, thence under the plas tering to the northwest corner, whero it knocked some boards off and jxisscd down into the ground. Hughes was knocked down by the shock and badly stunned, but, strange to suy, his companion, who sat close by him, escaped without any perceptible shock whatever. Dr. Centre was called and ministered to the man’s relief, and by 8 o'clock Tuesday night he had almost en tirely recovered. It is a strange fact that the lightning first struck in tho southwest corner, passed directly out of the northwest corner and seriously injured a man in the northeast corner of the room without even shocking another man, who was sitting in touching distance of tho man knocked down. JUTE CULTURE NEAR AUGUSTA. Mr. Howland’s Successful Experiments Near Granlteville, Over the River. From the Augusta Evening Newt. Mr. B. T. Page showed the Evening News a fine specimen of jute raised near this city by Mr. S. W. Howland, of Graniteville. It was exhibited at the Beech Island Club House yesterday, and Mr. Page brought it up to the city and exhibited the jute with pride as the product of this section. He says that Mr. How land reports its cul ture on the poorest kind of sandy soil and tell* of a profit of S4O on a half acre planted in jute. The plant requires little or no cul ture, and sells tor sc. a pound. This beats cotton, especially as tho jute grows rank and high, and is more easily gathered, in addition to the little care demanded. It is simply cut down and thrown in water, and after the bark is softened pulled through a machine which removes all debris, leaving the jute in long, strong nnd silken threads. Mr. Howland inis only two or three acres planted this year, but is strongly impressed with the feasibility of its successful culture in large quantities, and is assured that from SBO to slOll can be made off an acre of poor land. Successful jute culture will add another to the list of Southern staples, and this mat ter deserves attention. Jute is raised on thousands of acre* in the East, and its itianu facture Into sacks, bagging and rope is a great industry. Its soft fibre even finds its way into the manufacture of silks, give* body to the material, and its culture in the South should lie encouraged. Letter From the Ex-Sheriff of Chau tauqua County, New York. Mawillk, N. Y., Dee. 2, 188.1 I am glad to say, from a long iiersonal ex perience with Allcock's Porus Plasters, that lain able to endorse all the good things that have ever been said about them, and supplement these by saying that I frankly believe their value cannot lie estimated.

Deputy Sheriff O Pry and Lieutenant Wylie Charged With Misdemeanor. From the Macon (Qa.) Telegraph. Thu grand jury yesterday found true bills against W. H. O’Pry aud W. A. Wylie, charged with misdtuwsmor. > The facta in this case are about as folio ivs: The two officert are charged with having received a portion of the reward offered by the Governor for the apprehension of VV. G. Ford, one of the alleged Moore lynchers. It will be remembered that Ford was ar rested in Hancock county bv Detective Shackelford and brought to Macon. It is claimed that the detective paid a portion of the reward to the officeis for information given by them which led to Ford’s capture. Mr. O’Pry, when questioned as to the mat ter yesterday, said: “I have abundant evi dence that I did my whole duty in this mat ter, and will give you some idea of what that was. About a month ago I was given a paper by Mr. W. C. Titnberlake to serve on Ford. For some time I had been trying to find not only Ford, but others who were in dicted in the Moore matter, and at tiie proper time I will furnish the proof. Well, Mr. Timberlake told me lie thought Ford was at tho Jewell Mills, in Hancock county. I asked if he was certain that he was over there. He replied 110. but that he would write and see. A _ few days afterward I asked him if he had heard from Ford. He replied that he had not. Again 1 asked him and he had not heard. Well, on the afternoon of April 14 I received information that Ford was in the city. I went immediately for the pur pose of arresting him, and on going to the city hall asked Lieut. Wylie to assist me. We went to Ford’s house and there I found out that he was not in Macon. I also learned tha*. Ford was preparing to leave the State and w ould be aided by his brother in escaping. Knowing that the County Commissioners never had, and that they would not pay my expenses out of the county to make " the arrest, and knowing that as Ford knew me. and if I was seen ho could keep out of my way, I thought it best to give Shackelford the infomiation and thus secure the man boiore he could leave the State. This is the head and front of tny offending. I simply did indirectly what 1 was prevented by circumstances from doing directly. Subsequent events prove that had I not given the information to Shackelford, Ford would have escaped into South Caro lina, or elsewhere. Since I have Lieen Deputy Sheriff, I have always endeavored to do nothing but my duty, and 1 believe the good people of the "county will bear me out in this assertion. This is the first time in my life that I have been charged with non-per formance of duty; and. with the explana tion I have given you, I iully believe that the people will readily sec that the charge is without foundation.” Lieut. Wylie said: “It lias been the cus tom not only here, but all over the State, for years and years for public officers to re ceive rewards, and frequently I have been given reward money bv the State authori ties. I was with Mr. (J'Pry when he tried to make the arrest, and know that he was prevented from doing so only by Ford not being here. The information was given to Shackelford so that he could get him before he could get out of the State.” It is a known fact that police officers have received rewards offered by the Governor, and this is the first instance in Macon of any notice being taken of the fact by the author ities. Lieut. Wylie has consulted some of the leading lawyers of the city, and they express the opinion that nothing can be done in the matter. A Comedy of One Error. From the Pittsburg Chronicle. At an exhibition last evening in the North Avenue Methodist Episcopal church in the interest of the Indians, given by Mi’s. Barto, the widow of an old Indian mission ary, a laughable mistake occurred. There was a large audience present. The room was darkened and large pictures of scenery were shown on canvas. The pictures were explained by Mrs. Barto in a very interest ing way. The lecturer explained the habits of the Indians and showed the picture of a “bloody chief,” telling of the men he had scalped. She then sain that! he next picture would be that of his son. When the picture aopeared he was a perfect likeness of Rev. T. T. Jjeak, the pastor of the church. It was impossible to prevent the applause, which continued for five minutes, when Mrs. Barto said a mistake had been made.
