The top of the shed was made into a loft and filled with fodder and cotton seed, that broke int o splinters everything Ivnecith it. From the wreck Col. ’Smith collected the remnants of two separators, but the drums and one or two hits of iron were all that was left unbroken. Mr. John Smith, the Colonel’s nephew, went to work with these remnants and htis succeeded in rebuilding two of the separators, that do as good work as those fresh from thefnetory.

Five of the nine oars are wrecked beyond repair, while the others are in a bally damaged condition. A large force of hands was put to work as soon as possible, clearing the wreck and rebuilding that portion of the track which had been torn up. All of the frrigh: had to he removed from the smashed care before they could be turned over and the track deofed. Traffic was delayed several hours. No one was injured. LaFayctte Messenger: When Henry Pope was tried, all felt that his fate depended upon the evidence of the young lady. If that was against him convict ion was cer tain. This was but natural. The deep re sentment felt against the foulest of crimes swayed the community. All were anxious to see the outrage wiped out in blood. When Miss Kendrick said he was the man conviction speedily followed. But since the trial, the passion of the hour has pas-sd: Cool, sober, second thought has ruled, and the strength of an unshakable alibi, proved by six disinterested, reliable and ';arate witness's was recalled, and to day fully two-thirds of the people of Chat tooga are convinced that the wrong man has been found guilty. So overwhelming is this sentiment that it is said that the sheriff and deputy sheriff, good and true men, will resign "rather than execute the mandates of the law upon one whom thev believe guiltless of the crime. Chattooga's duty is plain. Bias is making her round, but ft will be a fair one. Her citizens hav< never failed Iter when duty was the ques tion of the hour, anti they will keep her honor bright. Solicitor General Howard Thompson re turned to Gainesville Wednesday from lUairrviUe, where he has been investigating the killing of William Callaway, near Gad distown. in Union county, last Monday. Callaway was under Indictment by the grand jury for some crime, and ’a ca pias was in the hands at Sheriff Wellborn, of that county. Callaway was a desperate character, mid had boasted that he would not submit to arrest The Sheriff and his deputy, Mr. AL J. Williams, of Gaddistowu, determined to execute the warrant, how ever, ami took steps to do so. Each of three o(H rers summoned a small josse aid prooeeerirti to tite residence of Callaway. Deputy William- was first on the ground, a:ul found Callaway and two of his sms at work in a field, all heavily armed. On going up tliey wore wxhi discovered by Cal la way, who. Instead of surrendering as he was orderoi to do, commenced firing on the deputy with a pistol. William- returned the fire, but without effect. Callaway then made for and suivecded in getting hold of a shotgun, and was ui the very act of shouting Vi'illiams when one or two of the p,ae fimi on him and brought him down.

A few weeks ago tre City Council author rod the Finance Committee to sell 1,100 shares of gas stock, or a sufficiency to reolt.' iAittX toe the purpose of building a high school. It was estimated that this air-xint of stock was about sufficient to roaiire the raaiaFsum. This action was :t*-rlv •'.'!>vsl by Mr. Mceaslin, the Secre t. v and Treasurer of t lie ga* company, who - isv an Aki-vman. It ha? been the’policy of tho gns company to oppose any action : t:v Council toward the of any of the city's stock in the com pany. A few days ago the company de clared a st-s-k dividend of 50 per cent, and a cash dividend of 4 per rent. It has been claimed that the company was not making excessive profits. Indeeii, with gas down to fla thousand, it was said it could barely earn a dividend on its present stock. The issue of 50 per cent additional stock therefore ex uted comment. A member of the Coun cil said: “It looks like it was a flank move ment to defeat the purpose of the City C unci!. Under the resolution, not more than I.IGI shares of the stock can be sold. With tit-' capital increased bv 50 per cent,. Lit** shares will not bring $25,000, and the g-nerai impression of the Council is that toe 'company has taken this method to defeat, or at least to postpone, the purpose of the Council in appropriating so much of the stock for the erection of a high school building. It is true," said Mr. Meeaslin when asked con cqpning the stix-k dividend, “that at the company's meeting on last Monday we made the issue of stock spoken of. We did it be cause we had spent upon improvements aNvut the works fully as much as the divi dond amounted to, and probably more too. That money belonged to the stockholders and we gave it back to them in stock. The ideo that this was done to thwart, if possible, the saw of the city’s gas stock ter high school purposes is preposterous. I don't see what possible connection the gas com pany has with the common schools, and that subject was not mentioned at our meeting. " Ft.ORtDA.

The stick proved to be a water moccasin, however, and before the little fellow could relax his hold the snake had bitten him twice in the hand.

He se cured a verdict at the May, 1864, term of the Circuit Court for $2,50*0, but the judg ment was reveres! in the Supreme Court on the ground that material evidence had W*ni excluded. Before the case came on for trial again Mr. Tow nsend died, and it was con tended by the counsel for the defendant that under the statute this ended the case. Judge Raker ruled otherwise, and in the second trial a verdict was rendered against Jones. Varr.um & Cos. ter $1,500.
