Mcßee, an honorable citizen of Oconee county, was returning from Athens Saturday evening in a two-horse wagon, when the mules took- fright, ran away, threw him from the wagon and broke his left leg just above the ankle.

It is a present from Mr. Peacock's father, who bought it at a sale in Virginia many years ago. The figures 1813 were woven into the cloth. The old relic is in a remarkable state of preserva tion, is snow white and still in use. A gentleman in Athens Tuesday received bv express from Tennessee two'thorough bred Llewelyn setters. They cost $250 apiece and are the finest bred ’ dogs in the State. Gladstone, the sire of one of the dogs, is the best bird dog in the world. He was sold for $5,000. Roderigo is the sire of the other, and is also a fine bred dog. The harvest season is now at hand in Sumter county, and many of the farmers ara cutting oats. Many of the crop; are la mentable failures, while some of them will yield about one-half. One man who expected 700 or 1,000 bushels, will not get 350. This will necessitate a draw on the Western markets after awhile. George Lamar (colored), who -was sen teaced to the penitentiary, for stabbing Lit Birins, for five years, returned to Aipericus last Sunday. On account of good behavior bis sentence was commuted three or four months, and he is now at home once more, and will not be so apt to carve his fellow man with his “little knife” in the future. There are quite a number of applicants for the place of librarian at the University, at Athens, a position made vacant by the death of Hev. John Calvin Johnson. andoulvi>ays $250 a year. Among the number are Messrs. I<amplun, Stone, Scudder and Miss Frierson G. E. Heard, Emory F. Anderson and others. The trustees are being besieged for their votes. At Waycross Policeman Watson has suc ceeded in arresting Bill Wisberry, a notori ous negro. He is wanted for two offenses, one is for trying to kill his wife with an ax, and the other for housebreaking in Way cross. Watson also captured Harris Nor wood (colored) for obtaining a ride on the Havannali, Florida fjnd Western under false pretenses. Both men are behind the bars. It now comes to light that W. E. Powell, who went from Covington to Birmingham, Ala., several months ago, is not getting rich very fast in the Magic: City—in fact, just manages to make a living—he is now look ing around for some other place to emigrate to. He says that every trade and profes sion is overcrowded, and that the sanitary condition of the city is too awful to contem plate. | | Messrs. Powell and Davenport one year raised on their Greene county plantation a variety of cotton with staple so long that it eould not be worked by the machinery in the factories around Athens, and had to be sent to Europe, where it brought an in creased price. R. K. Reaves Raj’s that the Undoing or any grade of improved cotton planted on the Oconee river bottoms will produce a long staple. Last week a negro woman, tiring of the society of her liege lord, ran awaj’ from the upper'part of Clay county with a younger and hundomer man. The irate husband fol lowed, and came upon the elopists about Columbia, Ala., and without ceremony claimed liis property, which the new pos sessor quietlj’ gave tip and went his way, while the husband and his offending spouse footed it back to their home. Such is life. The motion for anew trial in the case of Georg< i Gray, who was tried at the last term of Wilcox (Superior Court for the murder of Drink Statluim, liis step-father, and wiio was convicted and sentenced to lie hanged on May 27, was heard by Judge Kibbec on May 10. After carefully considering ull the points in the motion, the Judge decided to Srant Gray anew trial, and, of course, jere will bo no hanging in Wilcox on May 27. Will Briscoe, formerly of Floyd county, but who has for sometime lieen out in Texas, was arrested at Rome Tuesday ou four or live indictments which are about four years old. Two of them are for assault and the other* are uaid to lie of a more serious na ture. Mr. Briscoe has been from Texas ever since Christman, and has lieen in extremely ill health since hi* return. He doe* not KM-in to be worried much over the charge* against him. The llawkinsville Dixjyatch reports that a very remarkable invention or tlhsfjvery has 1 been made by Mr. .Toe Reynolds, of HnwTc insville. He has now at work in the river at that place a self-revolving dip-net, and it not only dips up fish, but puts them in a basket suspended under the net. The net revolves day and night, and occasionally a fine red-horse or bream or shad or other fish is dipped out of the stream, and glides gently into the basket. Saturday night Alex. Duncan and C. C. Harden were in Amerieus, and a country negro named Alee gut into a dispute with Mr. Duncau. The two got together in the cotton yard of Council & IV illiford, and had a lively boxing bout. Duncan was get ting the best of it when the negro whipped out a knife and gave him an ugly though not dangerous slash across the temple. They ware separated and the darkey lit out for a milder climate. J. R. Gatewood has an English walnut tree on his place, a few miles from Ameri cas. that is lull of nuts. This is the second year it has borne, and it is thought it will yield ten or twelve bushels. A ten-acre grove of English walnuts would be a profit able investment for those who have the land to spare. English walnuts, pecans and almonds all flourish in this section with proper care, and would pay handsomely after coming into bearing. A party of young men were seining the mill pond of Henry Daniel in Marion county last Saturday, anti after they were through they went in bathing. Cul Daniels, a nephew of the mill ow ner, was drowned in some way, either by cramp or by getting hitched about the dam. lie was about 1 years old. and some say he was swimming along, when he threw up his hands, called for assistance and sank. Other versions say that he fell from the dam into a deep hole and perished before assistance could reach him. It is now proposed, and the last grand jury advocates the proposal in its last pre sentments, that a good substantial iron bridge be placed across the l iver at the foot of Second street, Macon, thus opening a comm unication between East Macon and the city pro]er. This bridge will cost about $35,000, according to estimates made some yeais ago, which may probably be placed $lO,OOO lower in these days of low prices. The plan proposed is to issue bonds to the amount sufficient to cover the cost of the structure, the bonds to run thirty years at 5 jier cent. Three hundred colored preachei-s are in Brunswick attending h convention of the colored Baptist church.' On last Bunday night the pastor of the colored Baptist church informed his congregation that the brethren were coming and that sixty of them had been provided for, but there were yet 240 in the cold for whom he proposed taking up a collection, not by passing round the plate, but by having each member of the congregation march up to the altar and Lay his or her offering on the table before him. The plan worked admirably and $3O were raised. At Watkinsville, Kittie Daniel, an old colored woman, was hoeing coni for Baker Daniel last Saturday, and awhile before 12 o’clock Mr. Daniel went to the house, think ing she would be along after awhile, but as she failed to come when he expected, his wife said she would go and call her, but the old woman failed to answer, so she went to the field where she was left at work and found her lying on her face dead. The Coroner held an inquest Bunday morning, and the verdict of the jury was that it was a natural death, supposed to be the result of heart disease. About three miles from Dawson there is a colored boy with toes shaped like the claws of a craw fish. The boy is about 11 years old and is hale and hearty, and works every day iu the field as the others of the family, who are not deformed in any way. He has only two toes to a foot, which branch out at the instep, and are about 4 1-2 or 5 inches long. The two toes are shaped like pot hooks, coming nearly together at the iKiinta. The boy can wear shoes, but they have to be made in a different shape from those ordinarily found in the shoe store in this country. Charles Thompson, who runs the foundry at 'l'homasville, was attacked with hydro phobia bn Monday afternoon. He was vio lent w hen first attacked, but the attending physician succeeded in getting him quieted. Early in the night he grew violent again, however, and hail to be restrained by force. He would growl like a dog, and showed all the attendant symptoms of rabies. He was still alive at last accounts, but his death was regarded as inevitable, as no one has ever been known to recover from an attack of genuine rabies, Mr. Thompson was bitten by a little flee dog about two months ago. An old mulatto woman named Topsie, tried to join one of the colored churches at Athens latelj’, but as she w’as looked upon as rather a hard case, one of the brothers was deputised to talk with her and report on her conversion. It seemed that the church had unfortunately selected a deacon who owed old Topsie a long-standing debt, and as soon as she saw him her ire was aroused, and she turned her battery of abuse and profanity loose on the deacon and the church, showering u frightful benediction on the congregation as she sailed out of the door. She denounced them as a band of liars, thieves and hypocrites, and said she would go and join a rival church. At Macon Wednesday afternoon at 5 o’clock a fierce storm of thunder, lightning, rain, wind anil liail burnt upon the city, and for an hour there was wild work among the elements. The Atlanta train did not pull out until nearly fi o’clock, the street cars were compelled to halt and jiedestrians were cut off from communication with the world. Sewers burst, and the Edgerton House bar was flooded a depth of several inches. Many cellars were flooded. Mrs. Victoria Copes’ store was badlj’ damaged bj’ leaking gut ters. The streets were so washed and gullied that after the ears started run-offs were so frequent that they had to stop and wait for the track hands to clean up. It is feared that serious damage has lieen done in the countrj' around Macon, as the heaviest of the storm seemed to be southwest and south of the city. At Rome Tuesday night as Sam Jones was in the heart of his sermon and preaching in thunder tones against, whisky, meanness anil devilment , and after he had taken a vote on the liquor question, the alarm of Are was given. Jones showed coolness and quiet by telling them instantly to keep still. The vast crowd of 5,000 people hail began to swing and sway, and already ]*- ple were beginning to be run over. He kept the crowd t hove anil preached to them while they were yelling fire all around. It was a pretty nice piece of work, anil showed great tact and skill. The fire was an old house out on the river known as t he Perkins place. The fire company made a good effort to get at the fire, but could not. The fire is supposed to have been the work of an incen diary. The house and all the goods were burned. The loss is about $7OO, with no in surance. At Albany Tuesday morning, about 10 o’clock, a loud report startled the business portion of the city. The cannon-like report proceeded from Bmoky row. Investigation discovered that the cause of tiie sensation, was the mysterious explosion of an cinptj’ whisky barrel in the rau - of L. T. Field s store. The barrel hud been emptied of its contents for more than a month, and was set out in the rear of the store in the sun. The bungs wore driven tightly in the bung holes. mid under the action of tlw heat of the sun gas was generated with the effect of bursting out the upper head with a loud and duelling explosion. At the l ime of the explosion a oegro man lay peacefully slum bering within a few feet of the harmless looking barrel. It was a sudden and alarmed awakening to the thoroughly frightened, though uninjured, darkey. Two miles below Dublin a negro man, while at work in the field, discovered a very large copperhead snake and, lieing afraid to attack it, went off, secured a pistol, and came I sick, accomiaaied bv his little niece, Ella Griffin by name, a child of about 7 or 8 yeai* of age. On nearing the place whore the snake was lying, the reptile being arouses 1 ami angered by the noise of ai>- prouching footxtep*. coiled Itself for a spring, and erecting its hideous tri angular bead, presented such u pio TEE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, MAY 20, 1887. I ture of envenomed wrath as alarmed the little child and caused her to rash toward her uncle for protection. Just as the latter raised his pistol to fire the child came di rectly in fine between the loaded weapon and the snake, and received the discharge in her person. The load entered jast above the atxiomeu, inflicting a wound which will probably prove fatal. Very little blood flowed from the wound, the "bleeding being internal. The Bunday schools of Blackshear held their annual picnic at the sixty-eight mile post, on the Savannah, Florida and Western railway, generally known as New Chautau qua, Tuesday, leaving Blackshear at 7 o’clock in the morning on the way-freight, and returning at 5:45 o’clock in the evening of the same day. The schools were ad dressed bv Dr. A M Moore, of Blackshear, and R. B. Reppanl, of Bavannah. The occasion was a grand success from begin ning to end. Presiding Elder Anthony preached the closing sermon Tuesday night of a series of meetings which has been very successfully conducted by Rev. J. S. Stall ings, pastor of the Methodist church at Blackshear, having received thirty-nine additions since they began. Crops are look ing well all over Pierce county, but are very much in need of rain in some portions. Over 100 crates of peas and about 30 barrels of potatoes have been shipped from Black shear this season. Onions and other pro duce will soon be ready for market. A large shipment of watermelons will also be made. H. L. Cornell, of Tallapoosa county, has been arrested upon a charge of setting fire to the woods iu that: county. Cornell seems to lie having a rather tough time of it just at present. Sometime ago he was a witness for the government iu some illicit distillery cases, and since then has been almos-t con tinually in hot water. Upon three different occasions his home has lajen fired upon by unknown men, and, while nobody has been hurt, the severity of the attacks is shown by the large number of bullets which have been found embedded in the walls of the house. Many bad penetrated the walls and were found in the bedstead and other arti cles of furniture. Since these attacks Cornell has been afraid to sleep at home. It was in this same neighborhood that the barn and crops of a man named Rowe, the father of Deputy L uited States Marshal Rowe, were fired by incendiaries. Another case is that of a photograper named Partain, who was suspected of having given information against the moonshiners. He was driven from the county and his outfit was des troyed. The warrant under which Cor nell lias been arrested is sworn out by Ebeneaer McWhorter, one of the men against whom had testified in the Federal courts. Cornell denies the charge made again.,t him, and has been released upon SIOO bond. FLORIDA. An important arrest of a Louisiana crimi nal was was affected at Brooksville, last week, and Capt. Rodes carried bis prize forthwith to New Orleans. Miss Rosa White, of South Brooksville, was married to Dr. J. B. Hubbard, of Hick man, Ky., on the evening of May 10, in the presence of many fnends at the Methodist Episcopal churcn South, by the pastor in charge, Rev. Mr. Armistead. Emma McNulty, the negro woman who was accidentally’ shot at Palatka, while scuffling for the possession of a revolver on Sunday morning, was still alive Tuesday night. Her condition is reported unchanged, but there is no hope for her recovery. Earnest efforts are now being put forth to bring the Silver Springs, Ocala and Gulf railroad to Brooksville, and it is expected, with good show of reason, that these efforts will not be iu vain, and that this line of rail way will be completed by November next, , or later. Circuit Could: for Hernando county closed early last week for the want of a Solicitor for the State, Mi-. Sparkman's time, having expired, and no other appointee being pres ent. It is rumored that an extra session will be convened soon, as there is important business still on hand. It is a certainty now that the Orange Belt railroad will come to Brooks vifte, as a con tract has been closed to this effect. It is promised that the city shall welcome the first train in November next. This Mil give Brooksville much more direct and satisfac tory communication with the world, over the Jacksonville, Tampa and Key West railroad especially. At a recent special meeting of the Board of Aldermen of Sanford it was voted to give the Sanford water works thirty days ex tension to complete their contract for put ting in necessary machinery and mains sufficient to furnish all the necessary water suoplj- for domestic and fire purposes. This will give Sanford as fine and serviceable a system of water works as any town in the State. Monday while the steamer Thomateeska was in Flint river a row occurred on board between Wash Kinlaw and John and An derson Pew, deckmen, in which Kinla w was stabbed in the neck bj- John Pew so severely that the steamer put back to Bain bridge, where Kinlaw was put under medical treat ment and the two rews placed under arrest. It is thought that Kinlaw will die. It seems that some syrup leaked from a barrel that came aboard which was caught by one of the parties and claimed bj’ the others. Quarreling over the syrup finally led to fighting with the above mentioned results. The official count of the municipal election at Belle view gives the following result: Mayor, James Pewfield; Counnlmen, W. E. Strong, C. F. Trask, A. H. Brown; Clerk and Treasurer, 11. Woodward; Collector, George P. E. Hart; Marshal, George 11. Cone; Assessor, F. W. Brooks. A. B. Walker had a majority of votes for Council man, but the Council decides! that as he had recently moved upon his property just out side the corporate limits he had lost his resi dence, and his place in the Council was de clared vacant. It will probably result in a slight enlargement of the limits of the cor poration. On Tuesday Messrs. Byrd and Taylor, two young men who for two years past have been In the vegetable business in copartner ship with W. N. Sheats, of Gainesville, started on the Florida Railway and Naviga tion road for their homes in Marylaad. When Mr. Sheats discovered that the young men had departed he “waxed exceeding wroth,” as he claims they are indebted to him in a sum of something over S2OO. Mr. Sheats immediately informed Sheriff Wienges, who telegcaphed to tne officers at Callahan to arrest and hold tho young men until an officer from this county could ar rive and bring them back to Gainesville. May Small, who was bom in Afriea alsnit 100 years ago, diod lost week at his home near Fernandina. He was quite ar rive up to a few months sinoe, and “toted” his weekly purchase of “grub” several miles to his home without assistance. Ho re tained a vivid recollection of his early life in Afriea, and described that country where he was bom as hilly and slightly woodcsl, with grass growing everywhere, and often expressed a wish to go back there and spend his days. It was interesting to liston to his experiences and bear him repeat sentences in his native language. He said he wus brought to the coast by his uncle when about 15 years old, and then sold by him to a slave dealer. The State Medical Association met again at Bt. Augustine Tuesday morning in regu lar session, Tho State Hoard of Health bill was thoroughly discussed, and, after revis ion, it was recommended to the legislature for adoption. Able pupers on “Rotentiou of Urine" were road by Dr. Fernandez, of Jacksonville, and on" “St. Augustine as u Health Resort” by Dr. Hinith, of St. Augus tine. Fifteen new members were elected, and the following offlivrx chosen for tho year: Dr.J. W. Hicks, of Orlando, President; Dr. D. Stuart Lyon, of VVinnimavsjt. First Vice President, Dr. VV. J.
