6 GEORGIA _AXD FLORIDA. NEWS OF THE TWO STATES TOLD IN PARAGRAPHS. Miiladgeville's Elation Over the Victory of the Cadets of the Middle Georgia Mechanical and Agricultural College —No Money Made on the Macon Prize Drill The Annual Convention of Knights Templar at Atlanta—An Elopement Sensation at Macon. GEORGIA. The magnificent new Baptist church at Macon was dedicated on Sunday, by the Rev. Dr. E. W. Warren, the pastor. The Cherokee Land and Improvement Company has perfected arrangements with parties to erect several manufactories at Cedartown. Macon wants Attorney General Clifford Anderson appointed to succeed the late Justice Woods, of the United States Su preme Court. It is reported in Atlanta that the treasurer of the Salvation Army in that city has de eamiied with the Army’s funds. Capt. Ella Bracken denies the rejtort. Mr. J. S. Cox's oldest child accidently swallowed a grain of corn the other day at Rockmart. The grain lodged in its wind pipe and the child is suffering a great deal. T. W. Fortson's store, at Fortson's, on the Columbus and Home railroad, was burglarized Friday night. The thieves stole about SSO worth of goods. Burglaries are becoming alarmingly frequent in that vicinity. At Macon. Sunday afternoon, Mr. A. T. Harper, a young lawyer of Decatur, and Miss Esli G. Bateman,’ of Bvnon, eloped and were married by Rev, Dr. E. W. Warren. Miss Bateman was a pupil in Wesleyan Fe male College. Mr. Jack W. Johnson, of Atlanta, has re signed his position with the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia railroad to accept a better place in Birmingham. He has been appointed union ticket agent of all the lines entering that city. The Waynesboro True Citizen says: Much wind and hail accompanied the heavy rain which fell at Muunerlyn last Wednes day night. The stables of Mr. i\ C. Moore were unroofed. The damage resulting from the hail was not serious. Several milldams were broken. The commencement exercise* of Shorter College, Rome, will begin on Sunday, June 5. Rev. R. B. Headden, D. D., will preach the commencement sermon. Haiper Ham ilton, Esq., will deliver the literary address. The programme is an interesting one and will not De finished until June 9. Applications have been received at the office of the Adjutant General from Haral son and Warrenton for authority to organ ise new military companies. The applica tions will be referred to the military ad visory board. These, with the application from Cuthbert, made last week, will bring the number of white companies in the State to forty-eight, which is within two of the limit fixed oy law. Thursday, Lewis Griffin, a negro living two miles from Dubliu shot and perhaps fatally wounded Ella Griffin, his little 8-year-old niece. Lewis had procured a iiistoi to kill a large moccasin, and just as le pulled the trigger his niece ran between him and the snake. The ball entered the child’s back iust below the right shoulder blade and lodged in the upper portion of the right lung. Dr. Johnson was sent for and dressed the wound, but says that it is extremely doubtful as to the recovery of his patient. The Southern Cadets, of Macon, after careful estimates, find that they will not clear any money off the prize drill, but the impetus they have given the military spirit in Georgia amply compensates for all the pains and expense undergone. The boys deserve all the credit for their magnificent enterprise, and it will be long remembered as one of the glorious days for Macon. Dr. Kenan and Capt. Sims have received many well deserved compliments for the interest they manifested in the success of the affair. Bob Holloway, a stalwart negro man liv ing in Hart county, is quite a phenomenon in one respect at least. By holding his hands out as if playing a piano and moving them to and fro briskly ho can make the bones of his wrist crack loud enough to be heard a distance of four or five yards or more, and keep time to a tune after the manner of “Brudder Bonce.” He says that his father oould crack his wrist bones loud enough to be heard 200 yards, and hhi sister possessed the same faculty, if it may so be termed. Bob was born near Greenville, 8. C., and in his younger days was a famous wrestler. Athens Banner-Watchman: We met yes terday on the street Mr. Alex Davison, who bad just returned from the burial of his brother, Mr. Joe Davison, of Woodville. He tells us that his brother died of a dyserF tery, and the physicians think it something like-the cholera, and no remedy has lice a dis covered for it. He was in perfect health up to the time he was taken. It will be remem bered that a few days ago he lost his oldest daughter from the "disease, and now two of his children have been taken, and lying at the point of death. His other child has lieen sent off. Mr. Agee lost four children from the disease, three of them being buried in one grave. Other cases are reported around Woodville, and thus far in every instance they have resulted fatally. Dalton Gazette: A good one is told at the expense of our efficient Sheriff. Some days ago he went over about Taylor’s mill for the purpose of levying upon ahorse. He fotutd the owner of the horse plowing In his field. Our Sheriff made known his business, but our farmer friend begged flint time should be givou him to finish plowing the piece of land lie was at work upon. To this the Sheriff would not consent and the owner of the home unhitched him, took off the bridle and giving the horse a kick told the Sheriff he could take charge of his property. Now, our Sheriff will tip the beam at about 220, and you can readily imngiue that utter he had chased the frolicsome horse over a ten acre field for haif hour that be was not in an enviable frame of mind. The fanner at last seeing the destruction done to his crop by the feet of the horse, and also the tiny foot of the Sheriff, compromised the mutter by assisting the Sheriff and loaning him a bridle wito which to load a way the refrac tory hoi ve. Toe annual convention of Knights Templar will take place in Atlanta to monxi'v morning. The opening meeting will occur at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning lii Masonic Temple. The parade, which wiH precede this meeting, nil! tie a brilliant affair, as all tho delegates will lie uniformed in the bright and snowy habiliments of the order. Tiie lino will form in front of the Kimbull Houso at o’clock in the morning. Too indications point to a very large meet ing. Cominandory No. 1, of CharleatOD. S. 0., will be represented by twenty-five ladies and gentlemen, who mil be special guests of the load Knights. Bar tics of ladies will nc comp.'uiv the delegations from revoi-al other cities. The meeting Wednesday night will be open to the public. On that occasion exceedingly interesting exorcises wiil lie eqjio through. An attractive nr.ise-al pro gramme lias been specially prepared under the direction of Sir knight Samuel Bradley. Tito via,tors, during their two days’ stay In tho city, will lie elegantly entorta’imv.. Tho Milledgcvillc isjiTfgpondont of the Monxixo Nmvs writes: Friday, May IS, will long lie remembered in MilledgeviUe us one of the proudest in her history. On that day the upoeiaJ compnny of the Middle Georgia Mechanical and Agricultural College returned from its victorious trip to Macon, having wo,, for itself the military cham pionship of Georgia. Tho company was mot at the depot by a large number of citi zens. two brass bands and the students of the college. A carriage drawn by four hor-cs was waiting for the lovely sponsor and maids of honor, Miss Harwood Hetty and Misses Bello White and Sadie Hall. Cion. D. 11. Hill, President of the allege, had a seat in the carriage. Irwinoejs was entirely suspended. Bulls >aro rung, whin'll* sounded, cun- i uons roared, and above the diD rose the shouts of the multitude. At the college : cate the company turned into an avenue of lovely girls, each provided with flowers, which they strewed m the path of the cadet*. The ovation was concluded with an eloquent address to the company from Gen. Hul, in tiie course of which he paid a glowing trib ulet to the company, its commander and its lovely sponsor and mauls of honor. He then presented the company, in the name of the citizens, a beautiful white banner, on which was inscribed the word “Victory." At night the company was tendered a grand reception in the college parlor*. Capt. K. G. Mathisou, commandant of the cadets, is a native of Cheraw, S. C., and was educated at the South Carolina Military Academy in Charleston. Ho was the youngest com mander at the drill, and had as conqietitors two West Point graduates. FLORIDA. The Polk County Temperance Convention will be held at Lakeland on the afternoon and evening of May 20. The will of the late ex-. Justice Westoott makes the West Florida Seminary residuary legatee to the amount of about $25,000. The Caloosahatchie river is evidently somewhat crooked: the surveyors have found 900 more bends in it than are down on the majis, Between 300 and 400 crates of vegetables are now lieing shipped from Micanopy daily. The prices remain about the same as they have been for several weeks. Mr. G. C. Player, of Medulla, reports the vegetable business as looking up in that lo cality. The recent fine rains have put new life into everything, and the future looks promising. There is a rumor current in Palatka that Mnj. O. W. Bromwell, who recently re signed his position us general freight and passenger agent of the Florida Southern railway, is making arrangements to es tablish’ a private bank in Palatka. The town of Palatka Heights is preparing to take a vote on the question of erecting a public school building, and the Council will consider an ordinance at its next meeting prov iding for an election for that purpose. It is proposed to raise *2,000 in this manner and that sum will be supplemented by pri vate subscriptions. “Belle Boyd," the young lady who made herself famous during the war as a spy for tho Confederate forces, passed through lakeland Monday on her way to Tampa. Old veterans will recall her inestimable ser vice to the South. She is running an orange grove in the State, and is in comfortable circumstances, nothing more. Mr. J. W. Odum, of Barberville, bus growing on his place a honey peach tree two years old. from the seed, which meas ures eight and one-half inches around the body, is twelve feet high and spreads twelve feet"nine inches across the top. He has also a mulberry tree of the same age which measures t welve inches around the body and is fifteen feet high and twenty feet across the top. Polk county's wealthiest taxpayer lives in Midland, near Fort Meade. Although he has annual money transactions of thous ands of dollars, all of this business is done on a cash basis, he having learned no other system. In 1847 he went to Florida down from Georgia with a wife, a feather bed and a cow, and went into the cattle business. Now he could draw his check for SIOO,OOO, and scarcely knows how many cattle bears his brand. A rather peculiar freak of lightning oc curred during the thunder storm last Tues day evening at Kissimmee. A bolt struck the mast head of Mr. F. H. Skelding’s sail boat at the Tropical wharf, which shattered it, then skipped to the deck, where it left a mark as of burned powder, and then made a leap to the bottom of the boat, making quite a large bole through it, splitting one of the wales and sinking the boat. Mr. E. P. Smith, of Jasper, has recently rescued two little colored children—a boy and a girl—from the dutches of nn old colored woman to whom they had been bound, and who had beaten them repeatedly in the most inhuman maimer. So severe were the poundings, that the little ones carry numerous white scars. The boy, a bright pickaninny, has determined never to forsake Mr. Smith, and will hardly let that gentleman get out of his sight. ' The girl was turned over to one of Mr. Smith's half croppers. R. B. Ross met with quite a painful acci dent at Oliver Park, at Gainesville., Satur day evening. He was up in a tree gathering magnolia blooms when a limb suddenly broke, letting him fall a distance of over twenty feet. As he fell on the end of a log that was under the tree he l-eceived a very painful, perhaps dangerous, wound in his stomach, the skin of which was fearfully torn. Ho was hurriedly carried to town, when Dr. M. L. Moore rendered him medi cal aid. The young ladies of Longwood and vicin ity met at the house of Mrs. L. P. Burekle, Thursday, May 5. and organized a Young Woman's Christian Temperance Union with the following officers: President, M. L. Partridge; Vice Presidents, Frances Clouser, Mrs. L.r. Burekle, Mary Silcox; Secretary, Florence Griffin; Corresponding Secretary, Miss Griffin; Treasurer, Miss Anna Free man; Superintendent of Literature, Miss McArthur; Superintendent of Flower Mis sion, Miss Lillie Gove. Much interest was manifested and good results are sure to fal low. The Kissimmee Leader says: Sunday evening last about <i o’clock a most beautiful meteor was seen. It appeared a little east of north, and traveled eastward. It was very huge and brilliant. It broke in two parts when about two-thirds of its course was completed, one following the other, while for a considerable distance a stream of sparks flew out. It hail a faint tinge of pink in the lieud, with blue on the edge of the foremost ball of fire. It resembled somewhat the appearance of a large rocket. It was evidently at a great distance, as no report was hear'L It was a grand sight to those Who saw it. The Gainesville Advocate says thut on Saturday last, while O. J. Post was being tried in the Circuit Court for larceny, a good-looking, neatly-dressed, curly-headisl woman with a piercing black eye and wifely look of sorrow, marched into court and took her seat beside the prisoner. She canned in her arms u sweet little cooing baby boy, evidently about 2 years old. The ease progressed uninterruptedly and lavv yoi* made their pleas first for the State, afterwuids for the defense. During all the time the devoted wife sat erect by her hudwuid’e side., occasionally brushing a tear as big an a glass of lemonade from tier cheek. The boy luiby, in the meautiine was not asleep, hut true to its innocent nature, was busy nil the time iu cooing und playing with “dad" who sat by with a face as long a* a fence picket. But when the lawyers for the dofeus.v made tboir fiani plea, the attention of tlio jury, vrbo, bj the way, were all liusbamls and fathers, was called to tho wife and bubo, many tc:u* coursed their way from honest eyes, and the result was that, nftor being out only a few minute*, a verdict of “not guilty” was returned, and u happy family wended its way from tho court.

The Old Ryerson Mansion in Brooklyn and its Uncanny Story. front the Sew Fort Heraid. Lots of people are obliged to follow the senseless custom of moving in the merry month of May. Spooks are not excepted. There is an old Dutch farmhouse over in Brooklyn which was built more than 150 yea:* ago. In the course of a checkered ca reer of a century and a half it has accumu lated quite a number of ghosts, “white la dies," wraiths, banshees, eidolons, bogies and whatnot And now the spooks have all got to go. They received notid* to quit on May 1. They didn’t move then, but they got up and dusted yesterday, for a gang of workmen came with crowbars and hammers and pick axes and began the demolition of the old house. THE OLD COTTAGE. The old Ryci-son cottage is on Adelphi street, between Park and Flashing avenues. It was built about the year 1730, and it is like other old Dutch farmhouse* which we may occasionally see in Flatbush and in some of the old Long Island villages. But they are fast disappearing. Like the old Indians, they are lining improved off tho face of the earth. The Ryerson house was originally one story high, with a big attic and a long sloping roof, ending at the front and bock in a wide piazza extending the full width of the building. The front and sides of the house—which is big and spreads over a deal of ground with its ten rooms—are covered with heavy, flat pine shingles, two feet long, half on inch thick, und still sturdy ana strong, notwithstanding their great age. The bricks of the chimney came over from Holland, and arc much smaller than the modern kind. They are as hard as iron, and the mortar in which they were laid turns the steel point of a pickax to break it. The great beams of the floor and roof and the studding of the walls are made from heavy timber, all hewn oy hand from trees feded in the virgin forests of the New World. The Dutchmen who cut them prob ably did so with their eyes wide open for redskins and with their arquebuses ready to liang away at any skulking Indians who might come creeping through the woods around the settlement. The old house was not built by a Budden sick, if he was a Dutchman. There is sturdy honesty about all the workmanship that shows tho bouse was put up to stay. Moreover, the thickness of the wails would indicate that its owner expected to make his house his castle in more senses than one, For there were hostile Indians in those days and the isolated farmhouse might have to be suddenly transformed into a fortress to de fend the settler D orn massacre. SOMETHING OF ITS BISTORT. The old Ryerson cottage has been a famil iar landmark iu Brooklyn for very many years. The house has a queer history, and many thrilling stories are told ne'tothe scenes it has passed through. When it was built by James Ryerson that family wa< among the wealthiest of the early Dutch settlers of Long Island They owned many acres of land, and their possessions were touched on one side by the sea and on the other by the old Flushing road. They owned a tract a mile wide. The road passed in front of the farmhouse, which stood on a hill sloping gently on the other side toward the river. There'was a lovely view from the house. It was surrounded by a flower garden with hollyhocks and tulips, and there was a famous well of sweet ana cool water at the side of the house. The mansion was the residence of several generations of Ryeisons, and compara tively early in its history was the scene of the suicide of a farm hand, who died for the love of a pretty milkmaid. His ghost is probably the death of the little company of spirits which have since gathered about the place. When the growing city of Brooklyn reached this neighliorbood the Ryersons alwndoneil the house ns a residence. Then began its many vicissitudes of fortune. Even then it was known as a haunted place, the boss ghost being a choleric, purse proud old Dutchman, who had dropped dead of apoplexy in a fit of rags while “cussing” a son who hid married “beneath” him, tee girl being poor, but honest. “TAM O’ SHANTER.” About sixty years ago the place fell into the hands of V Scotchman, who turned it into a tavern and called it the “Tam o’ Shanter.” It deserved its uncanny name, for it became the resort of gamblers and the wildest blades of the day. Two or three drunken murders added to the ghosts who tenanted the old house. Then an English man succeeded to the propertv. He also kept it as a sporting resort. Many of its patrons were New Yorkers, who crossed the East river in rowboats. The reputation of tho old house went from had to worse, mid at length became known ns a very tough resort. An Irishman named O'Reilly ran it about forty years ago as a low tavern. His liquor bred dissension among his patrons, and they say that two murders occurred in the midnight brawls of his regime, Later on nn old miser lived there. He was found dead, hanging to a beam in the attic one morning, and the neighbors said he had been frightened into suicide by the ghosts. Alter that the had name of the old man sion as a haunted house kept people away from it. It was untenanted and deserted for a long time. ITS LAST OWNER. In 1867 the houso—then fast falling into Sicturesque decay—was purchased by Henry looney. He said yesterday as he stood half sudlv watching the workmen tear down his old home: “When I first came here to live, twenty yeai* ago. the neighbors all warned mo against the gloomy old place and prophesied that I wouldn’t stay a single night in the house. They said the ghosts of murdered men wore as thick as sand. Maybe they were; but I lived there several years and was never troubled by them. Perhaps it was hecaue I always canned a pistol loaded with a silver fid. That, you know, will kill any ghost. “Then, again, I uever rut down the roiie the old miser hung himself with. I left it liauging from tile beam, and it was there to day till oue of the workmen here cut it down. And I never went digging or prying around for the gold and treasure they said was concealed around the house. I didn’t Interfere wttb the 'ghosts and they never bothered roe.” QUEER FINDS. The iconoclast* who are tearing down the venerable relic to make way for a row of modern fiats have made some curious find*. Under the roof, betwoou the cohweblied raf ters, they discovered a heavy cavalry sabre of English make, w ith the date ftiss en graved under the hilt. A horse pistol, two feet long, with a Hint lock, was found in a hiding place in the wuh. It w-os very much vust eaten. A few English copper pennies and haif-ponco were found under the Boot*, where they had fallen through the cracks. They had been there so long that they were eaten through with rust. The date of only one was doc'.pherublo. It was 1605. A rusty bayonet was found in the front yard. It was of American make, and it might liuvo boon lost by one of the Conti nental troops in the ilnrknres of the storm on tho night of Aug. 30, 1776. On that night the patriot -oldiers retreated, for tho Ameri can arms had been driven back by the Eng lish at tho battle of Brooklyn,’and Gen. Washington cvneuated the city and crossed to New York/ Much curious rubbish was discovered in the attic and tho collar, such aa broken I trees of quaint, old-fashioned furniture, a spinning wheel, tho remains of a gun and a brokon pike.

AnJ suUUDONT tis called ga uriWy ground. Original of the “Walter Ridgely” Hoax. From the Chicago Sews. The story of the Waiter Ridgely hoax is senselassly funnv. Some time ago there appeared in one of the New York dailies a droll story of how certain friends of Tom Ochiltree concluded to surprise him by in troducing at the Hoffman House a man who could out-lie even the I exas romancer. Ihe person they introduced, so the story went, was a lank Arkansas man. This Arkansas man said that he bad met an old friend of his named Walter Ridgely. and then re lated hi* anecdote. He said that *> alter was a deaeou of the Methodist church at Texarkana and Secretary of the 5 oung Men’s Christian Association. He was ( n: of the meekest and most long-suffering men in Arkansas. One flay Ridgely was cross ing a river; a drummer was on the fen"'• The drummer got into an argument with the ferryman and ngreed to leave the mat ter to Ridgely. Ridgely accepted the posi tion of mediator and ‘dually, after thinking the matter over, shot both the disputants dead. He thought that was the best way to settle the question. Murphy, the ferryman, had two brothel*. After the double funeral of the principals, at which Ridgely officiated, these surviving brothei* stepped out of the cemetery and hid in the road. Ridgely ap proached on his old roan mare, singing “Over the Shining River;” both meu tired at Ridgely, who dropped; both brother* ran up; they thought him dead. Just as they bent over him he raised up, winked at each, and shot both their beads off. He mounted the old roan mare and trotted awav singing. Then the Chicago Tribune took the matter up seriously, and. after making the deacon kill three more Murphys, raised $383 50 to purchase a testimonial lor “Walter Ridgely, the drummer's friend.” DRY GOODS.
