George Scarlett, of Fancy Bluff, near Brunswick, has in his yard a large tree which is a genuine curiosity. It was origi nally on the inside of an iron fence, which now runs straight throligh its trunk, the tree having completely taken in the section of fence next it during its growth. At Harmony Grove Friday night last, a prominent young physician while wrapped m the arms of Morpheus, dreamed a Rnake was after him. Quick as a flash, while he wus still asleep, the doctor leaped out of bed and struck his head upon the edge of a trunk, thereby cutting a frightful gush just over his left eye. Two negroes, Fayette Johnson and Frank Thompson, laborers on the Wrightavilleand TenniUe railroad, became involved in an altercation near Harrison last week, in which Johnson struck Thouqison a severe blow across the head, from which he still lies in a critical condition. Johnson is in jail at Sandersville. J. A. Brenner, Superintendent of the Western Union Telegraph Company, was in Sandersville Monday looktng after the building of a telegraph line between Augus ta and Sandei-svifle via the Augusta, Gib- Son and Sandersville railroad. He says that the new line will be finished by the middle of June next. At Dallas Sunday night a serious difficulty occurred near the depot, in which W. R.

Gordon for a pardon. At Gibson M. 1,. Thompson, one of tho auction hands on the railroad, after a heavy rain on the night of May 11, went over the section of the road to see if the road was all right for the trains, etc., leaving his family all well, his wife being up at her house work all the day before. Returning in about two hours he found his wife and in fant child in bed, both dead. Their death is quite a surprise to the town. It is sup pt*4*i she died of heart trouble, and while dying in some way smothered the child. The friends of John W. Smith, now in Fulton county jail upder sentence pf death, me making an effort to secure a commuta tion of his sentence to imprisonment for life. Smith was couvicted of murder in Heard Superior Couvt, and sentenced to be hanged on May 37. Some gentlemen from Carroll and Coweta counties called at the executive department to present a petition for executive clemency. An appoint ment with the Governor was made tor to morrow morning, when the case will be for mally presented. At Athens Miss Marv Harden was buried Sunday afternoon. After her death an ex amination of her effects was made. The old iady had lived so long alone, and had denied net-self so many of the comforts of life, tliat but little of un interesting nature was discovered. Some fifty or more dollars were discovered hidden among tho coverings of the bed. No will was found among her own effects. Mi s. K. D. Moore turned over to the Ordinary of the county a will made by Miss Harden six or seven years ago, audleft with her for safe keeping. Tlu> duiiteuta of this instrument are not known. A woman made her appearance nt Adoirs viilo a few days ago, about CO years of age. ■ representing hereof ns one traveling for her health. After slop ing with a citiaen for two or three weeks, enjoying his hospitality and good will, she suddenly made her exit through the l>ack door, carrying with her a note which she lind taken from the dressing case, and also sonic clothing. This woman. In spite of her age. walked from Cartersville to Adairs ville, and when parties put out after her from Adairsville found that she hod also walked to Calhoun and got on tho up even ing train there for Chuttauotigu. At Macon Monday a train hand named Mteiison found alongside the track at the cotton yard of the East Tennessee, Virginia gUI 11 tor P edo < *? u k ns are used for gunling purposes on milrootU. Although ** had not yet learned any it u>l 'l*!due* and while examining it asked what it was and if it was loaded. A * u egted tnat if lie placed it on . “53?* • c<ld roll over it he i IT' ‘to’ l "ut. Stevison put it on tho truck I * exploded when the wheels rolled up it. A portion of tho tin casing struck Sevison bi his right arm. inflicting an ugly w mud, from which the blood spouted in a steam. At Americas Charlie Christian, a young mulatto, was stabbed twice in the hack just above the hip, about 3 o’clock on Sunday morning. He, in company with several companions, among whom were Pete Harris and Jinks Simmons, were spending the evening at “Liberty HaJJ,” a favorite ren dezvous on Troup street During the even ing, or rather morning, a fight ensued be tween the three, in which Christian received the cuts alluded to above. Both Sinunons and Harris have jumped the city, as neither could lie found by the officers Monday morn ing. The wounds inflicted awe painful but not dangerous, and will in all probability heal up in a short while. Asa matter of course, the fight was about a woman. A meeting of the Executive Committee of the Interstate Agricultural Convention has just been held at the Department of Agri culture at Atlanta. The time was spent In arranging for- the proposed convention. It was decided to again write the Governors of those States which have not responded to the committee’s letters and urge upon them the necessity of appointing delegates to the convention. Replies have already been re ceived from Gov. Scales of North Carolina, f 4ov. Ross of Texas, Gov. Perry of Florida, Gov. McEnueryof Louisiana, and Gov. Tay lor of Tennessee, making, with Georgia, six States which will certainly be represented. In some instances the delegates have al ready been appointed. Those which have not been heard from are Alabama, South Carolina, Mississippi and Arkansas. The convention will bo iteld in this city, com mencing on Aug. 16. From present appear ances it will be a grand affair. Last month when Cook’s variety show was entertaining the public at Augusta the pro prietor found himself short of cash and bor ro wed of one Rooney by name S3OO, for which he agreed to nay *SO interest. Cook is a man without education,and signed what vie thought to be a note, but whicu now ap pears to be a bill of sale of the show and fixturet to Rooney. After leaving Augusta the company proceeded- to Macon and thence to Atlanta. At the latter place Rooney concluded he could manage the business without Cook’s assistance, and informed him that he was no longer needed. Such action on Roo ney’s part was inexplicable to Cook until he became aware that he had signed a bill of sale. He protested and offered to pay the loan for which no time was specified. To this Rooney would not agree, and the case is now before Judge Roney, who will give a hearing May 30, to show cause, if any, why a receiver should not be appointed. The Bibb County Commissioners have ac cepted the new building constituting the Iloff Home or county almshouse, and the keys were turned over to Supt. Harmon. Roff Home Is situated upon a tract containing forty-two acres of land, donated for the purpose by the late A. A. Roff, of Macon. It is high and dry, and one can stand in the door of any of the buildings and look down upon the city, the eminence upon which the buildings have been erected being on a level with the top of Wesleyan Female College. There are fifteen build, ngs in trie group as follows: Home of superintendent, mess hall, office, eight cottages, two bath rooms, one wash house ana one pest house. These are all neat and strongly built, and nicely painted. The original contract called for the superintendent’s home, office, mess hall and cottages, and was given to G, B. Pettitt. The bath, wash and pest houses were built by the Fulghum Bros. The cost to the county for the original eleven build ings was $14,100, and that of the additional four houses was $1,370, making a total cost of $15,470. In making the appropria tion the Commissioners mode an allowance for extras which in a contract of such size would be neoessarv. These extras only amounted to $45. Three wells are to be dug to supply the water. The circumstances of the McNair tragedy in Butte county are about as follows, as stated by Mrs. McNair: About 13 o’clock at night some unknown person called out, in the public road in front of McNair’s house for a light, saying that his horse was tangled in the harness and it wus so dark that he could not see how to untangle his horse. McNair opened the door and asked who it was, and the reply was that his name was Jinks. Whereupon'MeNair lit a lamp and went out of the nouse in the direction of the man. He had only proceeded about five stops from the front of the veranda when a shot was fired from the comer of the house, and McNair fell, without a groan, dead, with thirteen buckshot in the back of his neck and shoulders. Mrs. McNair called to her husband and asked if he was hurt, and the parties oommeneed firing again, shooting six or seven times. The last shooting was with pistols. One or two balls were found on the ground near McNair’s body. Tne pistols used must havo been double 'acting, caliber 33. After the shooting was over Mrs. McNair rau out to look after her hus band and found him lying on his face dead. She says she heard some person walkiug very fast. Tracks were found approaching the house. The tracks of three men could be seen, one with shoes on and two others in stocking feet. The tragedy was well planned and carried out. The parties were tracked as far as the woods and they could not be traced any farther. The County Coroner was summoned to the scene and empanneled a jury, and after investigation came to the following verdict: “We find that the de ceased came to his death from a gunshot wound from tho hands of some unknown person or persons.” Col. M. J. Hatcher, of Macon, after t welve mouths’ study, has invented a wagon that he thinks will revolutionize the wagon manufacturing of the country, especially now that the right kind of wood is getting scarcer. This wagon is made of wrought iron, with the exception of the wheels, and any kind or make of wheels can be used. It is to be called Hatcher’s reversible axle wagon. The wagon now in the shops of the Collins Manufacturing Company is made principally of gas pipe, and yet it is lighter and stronger than the ordinary road wagon. Tho axles are piping, and the "frame is put upon them in such an ingenious vet simple way that thero is not the possibility of a bend or break. Tho frame, hounds and gen eral gearing is of wrought iron, and there is not a bolt or nut in the entire work. There is nothing about the gearing or frame to wear, and it will last fifty or 100 years. Rust is the only thing that will injure it, and 10c. worth of paint a year will prevent that. The principal point of the invention is the axle. This is reversible. There is a spindle on which the wheel re volves, one end of which revolves in a box m the end of the axle. When the wheel spindle gets worn the ends can be reversed, and thus the patent uxles wear twice as long as any other axle, and as tho liearing is not on any one place as on the ordinary axle, hut distributed equally nil round, the inventor claims tliat it will last four times ns long. As the axles are detached in less than two minute's time and replaced by uew ones, the advantage in this particular alone is readily seen. Col. Hatcher will organise a company this week for manufacturing tho wagon on an extensive scale. His aim is to have a factory with a capacity for turning out seventy-five or 100 wagons j>or day. FLORIDA. Ripe loaches are reported at Sanford and Orlando. Foil Myers is now in the new county called Lee. A St. Augustine firm is to sell soda water from n fountain costing fil,ooo. At St. Augnstine strawberries are down to sc. a quail, and arc largo and luscious. At the new post office at Grove City the first cauceilation of stamjw amounted to $7. The people down on the Manatee river, in DeSoto county, are shipping large quantities of vegetables. The government supplies stored nt St. Augustine for the Apaches were shipped last week to Mt. Vernon. 1 r The specifications tap the building of the Catholic church at Gin ford will be ready for the iubpcvtcnt u*s wets. THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, MAY 18, 1887.. John M. Sanders, of Cocoa, has received l his appointment as Countv (Jommiisioiier, vice G. S. liardee, resigned. George A. Alba and F. E. Witeell are the 1 contractors for the new wall and concrete ■’<->ut the post office building at St. Augustine. A pd.c office has been established on Mer ritt’s Island culled Irena. It is located north of Me- “tt. fit th Field place, with 8. J. Field as postmaster. Rev. M. J. Foley, the secretary of Cardi nal Gibbons, who has been stopping for a few winters at DeLand, was in Sanford Sunday, on a visit to Father Swomberg. Messrs. Wiley & Jones, of Titusville, havo just finished shipping a three-acre cabbage crop, from which they have realized S9OO. with some of tho last shipments to be heard from. The lumber business is booming in Titus ville. L. C. Oliver Sold 60,000 feet Monday, and he is kept busy ordering. Messrs. Bigelow & Ensey are also doing a big business in the lumber trade. A man at Cocoa, the other day, while leading a cow tied the rope around his waist that he might have tho freedom of his hands to fill his pipe. The cow started for the scrub, taking man and all with her. He be came entangled in the brush and got away. A day or two ago while the steamer Geor gia was coming down the St. John’s river those on board discovered a very large buck swimming in the river. The boat was im mediately headed for the deer, but before it could be run down it swam into shoal water and escaped. Eugene Hernandez, of St. Augustine, while fishing for sea crab a few days ago caught one of an unknown species, at least in that vicinity. The body was round and much smaller than that of the ordinary sea crab, while the claws were much longer. The most singular tiling about the crab, however, was it* color, which was a bright red. The old coquina building on Hospital street, St. Augustine, now occupied as a warehouse by C. F. Hamblen, was sold early this week for SB,OOO. This building is one of the old landmarks, and has been visited by thousands of tourists from all parts of the world, who were attracted by its pecu liar interior construction, photographic views of which are still readily sold. F. M. Locke, of Now Orleans, who is now at St. Augustine, gave a coffee party Wednesday noon at which was displayed a china set which was once the property of Louis Phiilippe, King of France. The set consists of seven cups and saucers, milk pitcher, sugar bowl and coffee pot, and is valued at $1,500. The King’s coat-of-arms and his monogram are engraved on each piece. The old convent on Charlotte street, St. Augustine, which wus ordered to be re moved at the last Council meeting, was built in 1860 hy the Christian Brothers. They used it for school purposes until their departure—toward the end of the war. From 1807 to 1876 it was occupied by the Sisters of St. Joseph, but since their re moval to the present convent the old build ing has rapidly gone to ruin. Mr. Mims has given up his contract to furnish poles for the Jupiter telegraph line, and the contract has been awarded to a Mr. Arnold, of Sanford, the next lowest bidder. According to the terms of the bid Mr. Mims forfeits the difference between the two bids, which will be 35c. a pole. T. G. O’Brien will leave the first of the week to superin tend the construction of the line, which will be completed in six months. A letter from Brooklyn, N. Y., received in Jacksonville Monday, states that homes are wanted for about 300 boys between the ages of 13 and 10 years, who are now wards of the county in several of the institutions in that city. They are not vicious, but, on the contrary, many are of most respectable parentage, and their present situation ft due to the misfortunes of their parents. Many are orphans and half orphans. Their general custody and disposition is hi charge of the Department of Charities and Corrections, to whom application should, he made. - . The Wei aka correspondent of the Morv ixg News writes as follows: The frequent rains, so far, in this month have proved very beneficial. Corn is in tassel in many places. Oats are ready to cut. An unusual amount of field crops has been planted all through this country, and people are fast finding out that they can make themselves self-support ing. Young oranges are growing very fast, and the trees never looked better. If one wants to see Florida in her best clothes let him take a look at her in summer when she is in her fresh, green clothes. The scup pernong grape crop promises to be im mense. The grapes seem to do well here. So far we find no enemy to the fruit, and no trouble in making a most excellent wine. Our proposed railroad is still on the talk, and wc are confident it will be built. It, will add a great advantage to us, though we have the grand old river and very good boat service. Our old veteran friend, Harry Scott, was the recipient of a twenty-two year’s back pension from Uncle Sam the other day; thus another receives his just dues and is made happy. A MONSTER GRAMPUS. Pablo Beach Comes to the Front With a Big Fish Story. From the Jacksonville Morning News. Fabto Beach is again to the front, this time with a fish story of no mean propor tions. The animal is a large grampus and measures from nose to tail, just nineteen feet. It is fully four feet thick and weighs about 3,000 pounds. Edward Cronin went to the beach Sun day afternoon to take a plunge. Ileselected a siiot some distance up the shore, but just as he was about to dive into the breakers his attention was attracted to a splashing noise still further up the beach. As he neared the location ho discovered a big fish which he took for a whale, splashing and lashing about in shallow water. The mon ster had ventured in too near tho shore, probably in search of a toothsome morsel of food, when it was caught by the breakers and receding tide in a cage, as it were. Cronin waited until the animal was well up on the shore, then he cautiously ap proached and seeing that it was safe for a time, went back and procured a knife. Without making known his find he went back and managed to cut the fish's gills. The task was a risky one, for the grampus lashtsl about its tail and Cronin was kept on the jump getting out of the way of the monster’s tail. Then when the animal had Wed until it was weak, lie fastened a hook made from a limb of a tree, and as each wave came in he pulled it farther up on the beach. Mr. Christopher, of Murray Hall fame, was then notified, and in a few minutes the immense throng that had gone to the beach learned that a big whale hail been liarpooned up the shore. Hundreds went to see the monster, and all declared that it was a whale, and a largo one too. During the afternoon and evening everybody was talk ing w hale, and it furnished a topic for con versation on the train coming home, lor everybody wont to sec it. When the crowd had gone from the beach the fish was hauled upon high ground, and yesterday morning it was hauled to Murray Hail. The grampus, or king shark, as some call it, will probably be stuffed by Mr. Christopher and hung in Murray Hall. The oil will probably be boiled down and sold.
