Can not this be remedied f" Last week Polk Hinton’s wife broke into Thomas O’Bannon’s house in Broomtown vul]ey, Chattooga county, and stole a quan tity of clothing.

It is generally predicted that fine seasons will prevail from this time on. Last Sunday Capt. Carlton, of Clark county, had a colt badly torn by a wire fence.

Lightning struck the switchboard in the Southern Telegraph office at Griffin Sunday afternoon, and was communicated to the outside by the ground wire.

Adam Goettz, who lives near Vineyard’ three miles above Griffin, was forced to kill both of Ins largo yard dogs Sunday after noon, they having gone mad.

Last year the returns of the two roads were consolidated, and the return this year shows an increase of 30 per cent, over amount returned for 1886. Tho proposition to issue a half million dollars of Fulton county bonds and devote the proceeds to the improvement of the public roads of the county meets with oppo sition. The Knights of Labor oppose it on account of the county commissioners being elected by the grand jury and not by the people, leaving the inference that the'com missioners might not pay out this sum so as to benefit the Knights. Middle Georgia Argus: Mr. Bailey Car michael placed on our table on yesterday the finest stalk of cotton we have seen this season. It measured ten inches high. He informs us that he has thirty acres equally as good as the specimen shown us with other fields a little interior, besides a fine crop of corn.

Three cranes were seen, but Mr. Davis did not get an opportunity of shooting at any others. William Hamilton, a colored citizen living near Mt. Vernon, was brought to town in a wagou from a few miles out in the country cut all to pieces. There had been some trouble between Richard Farmer and'Ham ilton with regard to Farmer’s wife.

Humber, of Colum bus had nis left leg broken just above the ankle joint, bv lieing thrown out of his bug gy, in front of his residence, on Fourth ave nue. He liad just jumped into the buggy, which was standing in front of the gate, and while turning m ound to drive In the opposite direction, he topped the horse lightly with the whip. This caused the horse to piunge and turn the buggy in. such a manner as to throw Mr. Humber out. The ton* of the fall came upon the left leg, breaking both bones. North Georgia Times: The famous belled buzzard has at last tx*en brougli low, and he no longer alarms the superstitious by his lofty flights and mysterious sounds. Landrum Davis shot and killed his buzzard ship a few days ago, ami found upon in vestigation that a steel trap was hanging to one foot, and attached to the trap was a small chain, which, as the buzzard flew, would strike against the steel trap and make a noise like tho ringing of a bell. This is doubtless the “belled buzzard” of which wo have heard so much. The colored people of Union Grove church, noarCarnesville, are having a racket over a school. It hits two claimants, Sal lie Sitter white and George Davenport, and lxith are clamoring for tlie school. Bailie taught the spring term and made up her school for the summer, uiui was resting easy when George Davenport came in as an Interloper, made up a second school and now claims the school for the summer or free school term. The patrons held a meeting in the academy in which several of the members became bois terous. Sallie seems to have tho bulge on the, professor, and from accounts has the following of tho patrons. Judge Ilansell at Thomasrille Saturday, issued warrant; on 176 special presentments of the lust grand jury of illegal voter* at the prohibition election last summer. The Sheriff and his deputies began taking charge of the offenders —mostly, if not entirely, negroes—that afternoon as they took their usual Saturday stands about thi* street cor ners. ’ At night the jail was filled to over flowing, The process of trying them will have to tic very rapid, or for want of jail room they will have to be corraled. There will 1* u very small jierccntage of convic tions, ns a great many paid their taxes after tho defaulter*’ list were made out. A mad dog went through Buchanan Thursday evening. It met Mr. Laniard Fulbright in the street, near his house, and jumping at him, bit him severely in three different places—one bite on bis leg and tin* Others on each hand. TIIO dog pussed through town, followed by Las Summerlin, Sheriff Goldin and others on horses. They got In shooting distance of the rabid canine, but failed to kill him. They say the dog wus taken with violent fits when he enino to water, and showed all the symptoms of hydrophobia, Mr. Fulbright "started Fri day to Atlanta or Fuirburn, where ho will have a mudstone applied to the bitten place*. The Greene Rifles are drilling hard in an tiopation of their visit to Moinoc to attend THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY. JUNE 9, 1887. the drill. The boys drill well, and the other companies who attend would do well to look to their laurels. The gayotles at Monroe will begin on July 20. On that day the drilling for tho prize, a handsome gold medal, to be awarded to the best dialled company, will take place. On July 21 there will be a big barbecue, at which will take place tho target shooting. The exercises will draw to a close with a grand ball at tho Wniton, Monroe's magnificent hotel. A great many prominent people will be hi attend mice. Gov. Gordon, Adj. Gen. Kell, and others have signified their intention Of being present. A few da vs ago there occurred near Dowdy, in Madison county, eight miles from Athens, the most atrocious crime ever committed in this section. On last Tuesday a colored woman by the name of Eberhart had a child 5 years old severely beaten by two colored boys, aged 6 and 11 years. After they committed the deed they in formed the child’s mother of what they had done, and told her that next day they were gohig to whip the child to death. The mother, thinking nothing of the matter, went as usual to her work, leaving the child at home. During her absence the young fiends came, and with sticks, rock* and switches beat the child to death, its limbs lieing mashed into a jelly. The young murderers then went to where the mother was at work and told her of what they had done. The woman returned home only to find their story true. Great excitement prevails in the section Of the murder among the negroes. The child was buried without an inquest being held. The Atlanta City Court was the scene of quite a sensational row Tuesday. The Evening Capitol thus describes it: “Sadie Lyons, another frail but decidedly unfair female, was arraigned for disorderly con duct and using profane language on tbe same occasion and at the same place as Liz zie Jackson. A young negro boy was the first witness to be called, and as soon as he had made his statement Sadie faced him, and then excl aiming,‘You lie, you dirty black scamp,’ jumped on him like a wild cat. lie tried to get out of her way, but she would have used him up had not officers interfered. As they pulled her off she hit ft back-handed lick and struck a good col ored sister in the mouth, after which she proceeded to demolish Of ficer Joe Green. With the assist ance of a brother officer Joe managed to hold her, during which time she paid her respects to the officers, the witness and the court in a manner that demonstrated that she knew all about the science of profanity. As soon as quiet was restored, Judge An derson sentenced her to pay a fine of $49 and costs, and to serve twenty-five days in the stockade, and at the conclusion of said sentence she bo held to answer the charge of contempt of court. As soon as the sentence had been pronounced she was conducted back to the prisoner’s room, and on the way there she shook her fist at the Judge and told him in very emphatic language that he could send her to a place generally conceded to he a great deal hotter than this world, if he’d only let her get chance to stick her knife into the black witness.” FLORIDA. Roses and mulberrips are life's chief de lights in Pino Level. . H. A. Vogelbach has assumed the associ ate editorship of the Melrose Daylight. Report says the Norris silk farm at High land Park, near DeLand, will receive gov ernment patronage. A squasli raised near DeLand weighs 40 pounds, and measures 48 inches in circum ference and 24 inches from stem to blow. The rubbish is being removed from the site of the St. Augustine Hotel, preparatory for the new stores to be erected by Capt. Vaill. The Tavares Herald has changed its date of issue from Thursday to Friday. The Herald is a good paper, no matter on what day issued. Lakeland is better supplied with milk than any other town on the South Florida road. It bus two first-class dairies furnishing the real article. It is said that Green Cove may have two more two-story brick blocks this year. We all hope the good work may bo‘ consum mate- 1., Reed Sc Steele, of Titusville, are now nicely located in their now and commodious storeroom, and now have one of the finest stores in town. Anew jxjst office to be called Indianola, and located two miles south ol Melbourne, on the Indian river, has been petitioned for. Samuel Field will bo postmaster. Hon. R. W. Davis, of Pnlatka, savs most emphatically that he is not, a candidate for the position of Railroad Commissioner, and wouldn't take it under any consideration. Upwards of 30,000 pounds of wool have been marketed at DeFuniak Springs this year. Wool is now demanding a good price and seems to be a profitable industry in that section. The many friends of C. H. Alleyne, of Bartow, will be glad to hear that though he was one of the passengers on board the Brit tannic during her recent collision he escaped uninjured. The Fourth of July celebration at We laka promises to be a great success. En couraging assurances of assistance and good will are being received from all over the peninsula. Plant City shipped two car loads of fine big melons this week, and will perhajis ship more next, week, to say nothing of the vege tables that are going forward by every express train. At the burning of the Scott House, at Apopka on Saturday last, two of the board ers, Mr. John Scorino and R. A. Vanier, lost all their clothing and valuables to the amount of $1,200. The volume of business done in each de partment of trade in Palatka for the last year, aggregates $1,454,000. Over 330 men are employed in the various branches of business in tho city. Judge Settle has issued an order author izing the Receiver of the Florida Railway and Navigation Company to purchase two ■ trainers. They will lie used on the Apa lachicola and Chattahoochee rivers. The youngsters of Bartow, becoming tired of the national game of base ball, are now heading their energies to master the game of muiublepeg. The way they go for the jieg in tho ground would put a young Berkshire pig to shame. Tho people of Ocala are circulating a pe tition asking that Col. John M. Martin, of that place, bo appointed one of the railroad commissioners. Leesburg would like to lie represented on tho commission in the person of Hon. William A. Hooker. A strong pressure will be brought to bear upon tho Orange City city Council at their next, meeting to have them establish a quarantine there, as New Smyrna, the east ern terminus, is liable to lx-come infected by vessels putting in Mosquito Inlet. A queer decision wax rendered by a court at Tavares the other day. A man was tried for breaking into a car on the side track there, and acquitted because in Florida there i.s a law against breaking into a house or a vessel, but none against breaking ititoa car. Excursion trains on the Florida Southern railroad, going south, leave Bartow Sunday mornings at, 7 o'clock a. in. and arrive at Puuta Gordtt at 12 o’clock in., and leave Puuta Gorda at 6 in the afternoon, thus giv ing excursionists six hours at Charlotte Har bor. The Silver Springs, Ocala and Gulf rail rood has between 200 and 300 hands at work 1 m tho Hernando side of the iVlthlacooclilc rivoe cutting out the right of way. This look.-i as if the Silver Springs, Ocala and Gulf would bring tourist* into Brooksville by fail. Tho orange crop In the Lee .burg Hectjnu will not be more than one-half as large as usual this year, but what fruit there* is gives indication of lieing larger and finer than it has been for years, ana, ns such, will proba bly command liettcr prices in the market than heretofore. The steam schooner Louis Buck!, Capt. Mount, arrived at Jacksonville from New York last Thursday with a general cargo, which was discharged. She was reloaded with a cargo of 215,000 feet of lumber at the Florida Railway and Navigation dock, and left on her return trip Saturday after noon. It is understood that a furniture factory will shortly be established at Acton. An upholsterer there is meeting with consider able success, using a <qxdal method of stuffing mattresses, chairs, etc., with pal metto and Spanish moss, and will soon largely increase and develop his business. R. 8. Hanna, of Charlotte Harbor, was admitted, on motion made before His Honor Judge Mitchell, last week ih open court, to practice law in the Sixth circuit,. Mr: Hanna is formerly from Tennessee, where he was admitted to the bar and practiced one year. He is an intelligent and pains taking young man. Cant. J. W. Havllee writes to the Pino Level Times that they are shipping about 6,000 crates of vegetables from the Manatee river section every week; that the crates net about $2, and that the shipments will continue until the last of June, lienee tho cash derived from the vegetable business through that season will tie some $72,000. The largest ’gator ever shot in the State, probably, was taken out of Lake Parker, at Lakeland, Thursday night by J. It. Smith and a representative of the Cracker. He measured 13 feet 9 inches from tip to tip. The hide will be tanned and sent, Nortn. while the head, bleached and polished, will pose above the sanctum door of the Cracker.

Fleming; Vice President, Horatio Bisbee; Secretary, Charles S, Adams; Treasurer, D. U. Fletcher; Execu tive Committee, A. W. Cockrell, W. B. Voting, J. C. Cooper, J. M. Barrs and H. H. Buckmau. Several large sea turtles were turned at Pablo Beach Sunday night hv a party of gentlemen, consisting of C. A. Root, W. W. Jones, M. G. Smith and A. F. Perry, One, weighing 575 pounds, was turned about seven miles south of Murray Hall. A con veyance was sectired and the monster taken to the hotel. Thomas Lodwith and Victor Hart turned one weighing over 300 pounds the same night. Turning turtles by moon light is exciting sport. Great excitement prevails at Bloomfield now over the location of the County site for the new i Lake) county. Bloomfield is one of the many towns claiming to lie the most desirable places, it being near the centre of the county and on high rolling land.healthy and a pleasant place to live, and as free from frost as any part of Florida. There is food prospects of two railroads soon, one rom Leesburg via Bloomfield and south, and one from Tavares via Jlloomfleld anil the west. When those two roads are built, Bloomfield will have a genuine .boom. Vegetable shipping is nearly over at Bloomfield for this year. Snap beans, toma toes, etc., were shipped from March 1. and were in the Northern market ahead of all others, the growers realizing from $2 to $3 per head, and the prices continue good. On the south side of Lake Harris growers usual ly plant early gardens in October and November, and plant for the Northern market on Jan. 4, as there is danger of vegetables being hurt with cold while being shipped North before March 1. Therefore growers only want, rain enough to make vegetables in the middle of winter to supply the home market. Wednesday E. F. Joyce received from Philadelphia the first consignment Of 5,000 feet of four-inch iron tubing for the water mains on South St. George and Charlotte st reets, St. Augustine, and Thursday'morn ing, with characteristic dispatch, he had a gang of twenty shovelers opening a trench in front of the residence of Mrs. Beecher. Mr. Joyce proposes to have the mains laid and water flowing through to St. Francis street within a week, thus completing the water service from the city gates to St. Francis street. Charlotte street will then be treated in like manner, and so on until his contract with the city is fulfilled. The usually quiet neighborhood of Oviedo has been somewhat stirred up by the unlaw ful acts of a port of the* negro population. One of them. Henry Underwood, broke into A. Solary ¥ store and stole about SSO worth of goods on Saturday night. He was traced next morning with comparative ease by various small articles, such as tooth-brushes, combs, etc., that he had dropped on tho way from the store to his bouse, where he was Sunday morning. The goixls he had taken were found in his house, and taken,together with him. to the office of G. H. Pell, Justice of the Peace, where he was held under guard until Monday morning, when a com mitment trial was lv*ld. The evidence being so strong against him, the prisoner plead guilty, and in default of $2,000 bond, va* sent, under strong guard, to the county jail at Orlando, to await trial at the next session of the Circuit Court, The government engineers, under direc tion of Lieut. D. D. Gaillard, with head quarters at North Beach, are getting well along with the preliminary work for the survey and soundings of thenar and harbor. The triangular work was completed Friday, and land beacons and water buoys indicate the progress thus far made. Water gauges and current metres will next demand atten tion. Lieut. Gaillard and aids, with in struments, have compared the water marks of the Matanzas ana St. Sebastian rivers. What has been accomplished thus far is merely preliminary to the actual survey, tests of currents, soundings, etc., and the Lieutenant thinks the work will be com pleted by Aug. 1. The little steamer Three Links, chartered for the purpose, makes regular trips to the North Bearn, returning at noon and agaLn at night for the conveni ence of the surveying party. Moses Ward, a colored resident of Oviedo, known to have a Invest constantly carried a pistol concealed alxmt his person, was ar rested upon a warrant Hundav night after much resistance on his part. "He was taken to tile office of Justice O. H. Pell and kept under guard until Monday, when a commit ment trial was held. He plead guilty, and in default of SSOO bond was taken to the county jail at Orlando to await the action of tile grand jury.
