tion. It now remains hi he mi whether
the mule can whinny his thunks to Mr.
Tiinbcrlake for saving his life.
The relations between the Atlanta city
government and the Atlanta Gas Light
Conqiany, known now us the old company,
are destined in the near future to play a
more or less important part in that city's
I less. The history of this business is a
J remarkable. Jt is u very incompro
ible thing, looking at it from a business
tof vice , that the city of Atlanta, one
lie largest stockholder* in the Gas Light

Sunday morning a male child was born to
a negro girl, by name Tish Sanders, who
lives in Jonesboro, a small suburban vil
tage near Greensboro, composed of negro
shanties. The mother, not relishing the ad
vent of an heir, attempted to make way
with it. A negro woman living on an ad
joining lot to the one where the mother
lives, was attracted In' faint cries of an in
fant. Upon investigation she found a child
only a few hours old lying in a
brier patch at the rear of a small
out-house, its laxly horribly- tom and
bruised, and its face and hands scratched in
various places. The mother of the child,
who cooks for a white family in this place,
went to her work as usual this morning a
few hours after its birth. She had just
finished cooking breakfast when the Mar
shal paid her a visit. She returned to her
infant and acknowledged herself to be its
mother. Up to this hour the child bids fair
to survive tne horrible treatment of its in
human mother.
Ellijay Courier : The registered distillery
of Martin V. Teen, of this county, on Clear
creek, was destroyed by fire last Thursday
morning. The fire was discovered by the
family, and on hastening to it found the
west end falling in. Nothing was saved
from the distillery. A hard fight, prevented
a warehouse near by from burning, though
the fire was so hot the rosin oozed out of the
door and weather-boarding, and only the
constant application of water prevented its
destruction. Had the fire caught this house
and a mill near by. he would have sustained
a loss of $3,000, He says it was the
work of an incendiaay. The still house
was first fired at the end
where the beer tubs stood and where the
lost part of the still was, and could have
caught only by being set on fire, lie says
he knows some of the parties who perpe
trated the deed, and we understand he has
offered a reward of $l5O for the apprehen
sion of all the guilty parties. Two largo
stills, a gauger’s rod, 1,500 gallons of boor,
and nil the appurtenance of the distillery
were destroyed. He will rebuild on the site
of the old one.
Tho Lincoln Rifles, a colored military
company of Atlanta, and several hundred
of their friends went on an excursion to
Rosedalo Friday. In tho tournament Lieut.
Hpriggs and a bright mulatto barber, of
Gainesville, named Rogers, were tho rivals
for the first prize. The barber woq it, and
selected to crown as queen a handsome
young octoroon named Julia Milling.
Hpriggs was in love with the same woman,
and swore that if Rogers attempted to crown
her there would be murder clone. When
the company was drawn up for the corona
tion ceremony it was noticed that Spriggs
was absent from the hue. The girl came
forward to receive her crown dressed in
white, with her long hair streaming down
her back, and wearing a bunch of roses in
her bosom. Rogers was about to place the
crown on her head when she reeled and
fell as the sharp crack of a rifle rang
through the woods. She was lying pros
trate upon the platform and blood was
oozing out of a wound in her breast just
where the bouquet of flowers had been
pinned. She uttered not one word and ex
pired in a few minutes. Tho crowd was
terrified. Some of the members knew of
Spriggs’ threats and at once knew he was
the murderer. They turned in the direction
of the thicket, in which he must have been
concealed, and he was seen mounted on a
white horse riding at a furious speed down
the public road. It was not many minutes
before a dozen mounted men were in hot
pursuit. They followed him for eight miles
and filially abandoned the chase. This
morning several countrymen discovered a
dead white horse in the road and it was
identified as the one the fugitive murderer
had ridden. The young woman was buried
Saturday, dressed as she was when she stood
to receive the crown. The tragedwhas pro
duces! a great sensation among the colored
people of Coweta county, and should
opriggs be caught they could not be pre
vented from lynching him.
