Lochrane died between 12 uxd 1 o’clock this morning of heart disease. He had been suffering from this disease for several years, and had been under treatment for it a number of months.

He tiegan life there as a clerk in a drug store. Possessing a ready wit and considerable elo quence he determined to study law, and en tered the law office of Judge Joseph Henry Lumpkin for that purpose. He rose quite rapidly in the profession. After his admis sion to the liar, and just prior to the war, he was elected Judge of the Macon Circuit. In that position he rendered some decisions rel ative to the right of conscript soldiers, which attracted some attention. After the war he was appointed to fill a vacancy on the Supreme bench by Gov. Bullock. At the expiration of his term he returned to the practice of his profession which soon became large and lucrative.

DeFuniak Springs, Fla., June 17.—Mr. W. R. Dutton, who hai for some time been the manager of the Chlutauqua Hotel, will soon retire therefrom, and Mr. I. H. Brazeah will take charge. The continued dry weather in this vicinity has not vet seriously affected the growing crops. So far as I can learn the crops of all kinds in this section promise well. W. B. McLeod has resigned the county judgeship. Improvements of various kinds continue in all parts of the town. Several new' resi dences are approaching completion, and P. L. Biddle has just commenced the erection of a large and handsome brick storehouse on Baldwin avenue. About 30,000 pounds of wool has been marketed here this season. A gentleman from the North has just bought seventy forty-acre tracts of land near Chipley and will locate a family on each tract. He says he wants 100 forty acre tracts. The County Treasurer of our county (Wal ton), who was recently robbed (as is alleged) of $3,000 county funds, has as yet obtained no clue as to the identity or whereabouts of the thief or thieves. Many of our citizens believe the money has never been taken out of town, and that the guilty parties live hero. The County Commissioners were author izrd some time ago to contract for the build ing of anew court house and jail at this place. Plans were selected and bidders for the erection of the same advertised for. The bid of Mr. Leonard, of Pensacola, at SB,OOO was accepted. A few days since Mr. Leon ard came here to get the Commissioners to sign the contract, but some trouble or mis understanding arose about the terms of pay ment, and the contract was not signed. It is impossible to promise what the result of the muddle will be. LIVELY MARIANNA. How Live Citizens Help a Town to Develop and Thrive.

Tho first installment of stock has already been paid in and the second will be paid about Aug. 1, at which time the contract to build will lie given out and the work pushed to an early completion. Through the enterprise of a public spirited citizen the streets throughout tlie entire town are being lettered, with boards at every street corner, and it gives tho place a busi ness-like appearance, to say nothing of the public convenience. Steps are now being taken to establish a school on an improved plan, adding music, art, telegraphy and military departments.

Paris Dispatch to London Daily Telegraph That distinguished novelist who wrote “Indiana” and “Uonsuelo” was fond of walking about Paris attired in man's clothing. It was a weakness to which no one paid attention, as George Sand was an erratic woman of genius, ami geniuses have a free charter to do things which would cause the social ostracism of minor mortals. The conduct of the celebrated writer has lately been imitated by French women, who have rather soajuiulized easy-going and unpuritanical Parisians by appearing m pub lic clad in masculine costume Tho greatest sinner in this, respect lias been Mme. Dieulafoy, a lady who was not long ago decorated with the Legion of Honor for her intrepid travels mid explorations, in com pmy with her husband, in tlie East.

To complete her personal mine en scene, she wore the ribbon with which sho had been recently decorated. Rumor has it that the Prefect of Police, shocked at the prevailing taste for trousers evinced by the fair sox—a taste which reached its apogee when the lady alluded to j wised as a superehic in the theatre—has fur bished up an old legal weapon which was first manufactured in the ninth year of tlie first republic and improved upon in 1857. This empowers the police to arrest .any woman found wearing male apparel out of carnival time, unless she lie in ixmsession of a certificate signed liy the proper authorities to the effect that she uses man’s costume for tho purposes of health.

THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, JUNE IS, 1887. A BRAVE YOUNO MAN. A War Tale of the Evacuation of Corinth, Miss. F. .1. F. in the Americas Recorder. When Gen. Bragg’s army evacuated Corinth, Miss., in 1862, there was a great deal of sickness among the soldiers, nearly one-fourth of tlie army being unfit for ser vice. (.'apt. S. R. Weston, of Company H. Fifth Georgia regiment, and myself (belonging to Company E, same regiment), were on the sick list and not able to march, but still able to do light duty. So we were put in charge of the sick of our regiment, who were to be sent down on a separate train. AVhile we were at the deiwjt getting the men aboard and looking to their comfort, we noticed another squad to our left, as we faced the town, loading another train with quartermasters’ and commissary stores, ami everybody seemed to be in a hurry and in some confusion. Every straggler wgs put to work, and many of the sick were made to work who ought to have been in bed. Some boisterous, overbearing fellow was bosibig tho job, aud if he ordered a man to go to work and he rcfused he reported him at once to Gen. Bragg, who seemed to lie superintending the whole movement in person. Finally a young soldier came along on his way to the cars for the sick. He appeared to lie about 20 years of age, tall ana hand some, but pale and delicate. The man (or In'utip commanding the work squad saw him. and yelled out: “Say, young man, fall in here and go to work. Heave these goods into these cars, and lie quick about it.” Tlie young man replied: “I am not able to work. If I were I would lie with my company. ’’ “Eh? Won’t work, elii We’ll see about that. General I” he hollowed out to Gen. Bragg, who was passing, “here’s a man who refuses to work,” pointing at the youth,who stood as firm as a rock. Gen. Bragg stopped and gazed at the young man, his eyas blazing as no other man's eyes can blaze, and repeated the order to help load those cars at once. The young man repeated his former answer, that he was not able to w ork; had he been able to work he would be able to march and would be with his command. The General’s eyes seemed to flash fire as he exclaimed: “What! You dare disobey my orders?” “I do,” calmly replied the young man. The General called a lieutenant of a Lou isiana company of regulars doing guard duty, ami said: “Take six of your company and carry this man to that grove and shoot him.” The Lieutenant called out six of his men and ordored them to load their guns, and while they were doing so Gen. Bragg beck oned the Lieutenant, stepping behind a gar den wall, spoke to him in a low tone not heard by anyone else, and walked away. The guard ms rched the young man to the grove, about 100 yards to our right, and placed him upon a stool against a large oak and started to blindfold him, which he would not permit, but took off his gold watch and chain and a fine gold ring from his finger, handed them to the Lieutenant, and requested him to send them to his mother, at the same time writing her name and address on a piece of paper and hand ing it to the Lieutenant, resumed his posi tion against the tree, and with a proud smile upon his lips and without a tremor in his voice, he said: “Now sir, I am ready.” The Lieutenant stepped off ten paces, brought his men to “attention” and com manded, in a loud voice, distinctly heaid by us: ‘ ‘Ready! —Aim. ” I became so weak I thought I should faint and caught hold of a small oak for support and closed my eyes to shut out the aw ful deed. There sat the young man, gazing into the muzzles of six muskets pointed at his heart, a single one of which might send his soul into eternity in the twinkling of an eye. He looked on as calmly as if he was looking at a camera, and was simply having his photograph taken. But the Lieutenant's next command was: “Recover arms!” which was willingly and promptly obeyed. The Lieutenant then stepped up to the young man, bade him rise, grasped his hand in admiration, returned his watch and ring which he received with a polite bow, anti the word “thanks,” and walked away as unconcerned as if nothing unusual hail occurred. The Lieutenant and his men returned to their former position, in a few pares of where we were, and pretty soon Gen. Bragg returned and asked: “Where is the boy?” “Gone,” said the Lieutenant. “What did you do?” asked the General. “Just exactly as you directed,” replied the Lieutenant, fie handed me his watch and ring to send to his mother, took his position, refused to be blindfolded, said he was ready, and never batted his eyes even when we were at ‘aim.’ He’s the bravestjman I ever saw in my life!” And- tears came into the Lieutenant’s eyes. “Who is he, and where is he?” demanded tin- Geperal, evincing much interest and looking in every direction. “1 don’t know,” answered the Lieutenant. “Here’s his mother’s name and address,” handing him a slip of paper. He glanced at it, put it in his vest pocket, and said: “Well, find him. I’ll promote him.” And away they went to find the young hero. But whether they ever found him, and if so, what came of it, I never knew. When Gen. Bragg first gave the order to shoot the young man, I suppose t here wore 100 soldiers who heard it. They soon scam pered away, some to work, some to hide out, and others —too sick to do either—took the places assigned them in the cars. And only Capt. Weston and myself, and perhaps two or three others, watched this episode to the end. Those others all thought, and those still living, think till this day that Gen. Bragg had that young man shot. Bragg was indeed a severe disciplinarian, but not so liaii at heart as many deem him. , A True Missouri Slope Man. From the Bismarck Tribune. A Bismarck woman was inquiring aliout a wreck. She had expected her husband on the train that was thrown from the bridge. The conductor did not know of a man of her name on the train, but said n man who was talking alxiut the “Missouri slope” just before the accident occurred, was killed. “How did he talk, enthusiastically or in different ?” ‘ * Enthusiast ieal 1 y—very. ” “Oil, indeed! What were his last words?” “Well, as I remember, the car was lying on top of him, and he was in an argument with another passenger, who was also about squeezed out. The last words he said were: " ‘I tell you, my friend, if you say that Bismarck won't have another railroad—-this —Tear —you —arc —a —liar. ’ “Then turning his eyes on the man who escaped, he said: " ‘lf you want that lot you’d lietter close tho deaf quick. There will be three more roads in Bismarck this year; electric lights have been secured, water works will be—’ but he died before the sentence was fln mshed.” “Ah, yes ’twos he,” the woman murmured in a heart-broken tone, “but did he make the sale, and do you really think wo will have another railroad this year ?"

Appel & Sehnul. TWO ASSASSINS. Caspar Staumbach Tells tho Story of the Rahway Murder. A St. Louis dispatch to the New York Herald says: There is in jail at Salem, 111., a man who says his name is Caspar Straum baeh, and that he committed the murder at Rahway, N. J., last March, that has be come famous as the Rahway murder mystery. He makes a confession, in which he says that he was a steamship steward by occupation, and that on March 13 he was oil a spree with a companion, a Swede named John. The two went to Rahway and continued drinking together for some time and were greatly under the influence of liquor when they saw a young girl across the railway commons carrying a small basket. The Swede, who seemed to know the girl, started townixl the girl and she ran. He called to her several times, addressing her as “Clara,” andAelling her to stop, that be wanted to talkfo her. .Seeing she would not heed his calls, he ran after her. Just as he overtook her he picked up a piece of lioard and struck her on the side of tne head. She fell and he struck her again. Just then Straumbaeh, according to his own story, came up, and, actuated by a ferocity born of the liquor he had been drjnking, pulled out his knife and saying he would do his part, stoop'd over the pros trate body of the girl and cut her throat. He insists that he thought, and still thinks, the girl was dead before he touched her. After the killing, which, according to the confession, was on March 13, 1887, about 5 o’clock p. m., hut which, according to the proclamation of the Governor of New Jersev, occurred March 26, the two men went di rectly to New York city, where they con tinued their spree for several days. They then separated, and only met once after ward. CONSCIENCE STRICKEN. Straumbaeh then intended to ship for another voyage, but seems to have been con science stricken, and imagined that the offi cers were on his track. He .vent to a friend. Mm. Augusta Gardner, living at No. 23 Bayard streat, New York, and told her what he had done, as he felt as though he could not keep his secret, and was confident she would not betray him. The idea struck him that he would go West and try to make a fresh start in life among strange people and in a strange country, where he would be able to forget his great crime. Accord ingly he started forward, arriving at the little town of luka, in Marion county, 111., where he sought work as a farm laborer. He got a job and soon betrayed himself by his acts. Seeing something was wrong with him, his employer questioned him very closely as to his antecedents and finally put the question as to what made him so nervous. To this Straumbaeh replied that he had something very bad in New Jersey and his conscience tortured him. The town constable, James W. Conley, was informed of the fellow’s strange talk and conduct, and he undertook to find out what it all meant. This was a week ago. TAKEN INTO CUSTODY. The man made a confession of which the substance is given above. On the strength of this confession the man was taken into custody and jailed at Salem, the county seat. ’The Illinois officials then opened up communication with the authorities at Rah way, and kept the real cause of the arrest a secret so far as the general public was con cerned pending inquiry. Finally, being convinced that they had'the right man, they let the facts leak out. The officers at Salem having received a picture of the murdered girl, taken after she was dead, They showed it to the prisoner to-day, and he recognized it. He could not give very definite information of his com panion on the night of the murder, but says, in his trunk, at No. 200 Chatham street, near the Bowery, New York, is a picture of the man. FROM UUICH, GERMANY. Straumbaeh hails from Brooklyn, and is formerly of TTrich, Germany. He has only been in the United States about a year, anti is about 25 years old, 5 feet 2 “inches in height, weighs 125 pounds, has blue eyes, heavy auburn hair and several weeks’ growth of beard. At luka he sought a Ger man and soon found one named John Bow man, and told him his mind was troubled and he wanted to tell him something. His is a very straight story in the German lan guage, and afterwards he made a written confession in German and swore to it. A photograph of the murder 'd girl was shown him and he immediately identified it. The Quarantine Investigation. The Morning News published the sub stance of the finding of the committee, ap pointed by the City Council, to investigate the charge of lax enforcement of quarantine regulations at the time the report of the committee was submitted to Council. The health authorities think that the publica tion of the full text of the report would have a beneficial effect. The report w-as as fol lows’ To the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Savannah: At the last meeting of Council a communication and resolution of the Board of Sanitary Commissioners was re ferred to us for investigation and report. The communication contained an extract from the report of the health officer, Dr. McFarland, to that body as follows: “I (health officer) beg to say that Alder man W. F. Reid stated to me, on May 26, thnt it was reported to him by several per sons that the quarantine station of this port was being run to the benefit of tlie Tug boat Company and N. Paulsen & Cos., ship chandlers, to the detriment and inconven ience of other citizens.” Ydfcr committee have thoHfcghly exam ined the matter. They have examined under oath every person whose names have been given us by Alderman Reid who were acces sible, and every other pei'son accessible whose names suggested to us, or who the committte thought might lie able to give any information of value touching the management of the quarantine station. The entire testimony was taken down in writing, which we herewith submit to the Council. We find the report to be without foundation in fact, and we find nothing in tho evidence to justify any reflection ujion the Health Officer, or any one connected with tlie quarantine in its management.
