Sunny Side was the scene of a horrible acccident Monday, in which Snow Prothro lost his life. When the 11:30 train pulled out for Atlanta, Snow Prothro and John Taylor, two colored youths aged about fourteen, crawled up on the front trucks of the rear coach. Their feat was witnessed by several, all of whom were astonished by such a display of recklessness. It was the intention of the two hoys to ride to Atlanta. As the train was rolling into Sunny Side Prothro attempted to jump off, when, it is supposed, he lost his footing and fell ob liquely across the track, the wheels crush ing across both legs, cutting off the left one just below the knee, and the right one about four inches above the knee. He died about 5 o’clock. The question of establishing by local tax ation a public school for Covington is being agitated at this time, and a meeting of tho citizens was held Monday to consider the matter. As the establishment of the school will largely depend on the question as to whether or not the city can secure the use of the buildings of the Georgia Methodist Fe male College, the only action taken was to appoint a committee to confer witii the trustees of that institution with a view to ascertaining whether the North Georgia Conference (which controls the institution) would grant to the city the use of the col lege buildings in the "event that a public school should be established. It seems that a large majority of the citizens favor the establishment of the school. St. Simon's Mills had her second fire last Saturday evening. The fire occurred in what is known as the “old hoarding house” —it ip the original Cooper residence. The fire communicated from that, building to tho company’s office near by, burning that also. The origin of the fire is not known. It seems that the occupants of the house, Mr. and Mrs. Wynne, had a few hours be fore built some fires in the different chim neys of the house to dry out tho dampness. At the time of the fire they were over at a neighbor’s, near by. When the fire was discovered the whole inside of the house was envelojied in flame and smoke, so that noth ing could be saved. Rev. Mr. Wynna lost his entire library—valued at SI,OOO. He has been gathering it for several years. Wayei'oss Reporter: Some time since a young fellow of Waycross was very much frieved at the way his girl treated him. 'hey were to take a drive one afternoon, and our friend was or hand with tho best turnout lie could secure. Just liefore get ting into the buggy, however, the manner of his girl changed from that of kindness and affection to icy-coldness, and positively refused to accompany the young man. As she made no explanation of her strange ac tions, he was nonplussed and can’t under stand it yet. But we have got into the se cret at last and are prepared to toll him. He had. accidentally or otherwise, allowed a rod hair to blow on to his coat and cling there. His girl’s hair is block,and you know how the dear girls are about such things. Now, maybe if he can explain how that troublesome red hair came to bo on his coat, they will make up and peace will again reign in Warsaw. Sandersville is .a prohibition town by a largo majority. Tlie Mayor has had but one or two cases of drunkenness to dispose of sinee February. The town has been a model in the way of order and easy-going. Many of its citizens stored away some of the ar dent for family use, and snake bites and ac cident. A doctor had hid away some fine old Cognac l irandy for medical use, where he supposed no one would find it save him self. It was hidden in an outhouse. The other morning same five or six bore of tender yeais were playing hide and seek, and dur ing the play one of the boys hid in the box where tlie brandy was hid. lie gave the alarm. They proceeded to divide out the hidden but found treasure. One boy 6 vears of age soon began to show unmistakable signs of drunkenness. He was assisted to tiie house by two of his comrades of the same age. His parents, of course, were greatly excited. 110 could not lie drunk be cause there was no whisky in town! He re covered. At Dublin Saturday night another in stance of almost unexampled drunken law lessness and open defiance of the town authorities and common law was given upon the streets. Such exhibitions are becoming far more frequent than pleasant of late, and may vet result in serious trouble. Tho disturbance Saturday night grew out of an attempt on the part of the town marshal to arrest an individual from tho'country, who was making himself very obnoxious by swaggering, millying and swearing. The attempted airest was resisted by tlie inebriated party and his friends, and it was with difficulty that serious trouble was averted. It is said tliat during the disturbance one young man, liuving been deputized to assist in quelling the commotion, armed himself witti a double-barreled shotgun, loaded with buckshot, pud paraded tho streets, de manding a countersign from everyone who passed, and even stopping the Mayor and tho Marshal. At Griffin Monday K. L. Snider, a mer chant, shot at Charles Wolf, McFarland, Boyles & Co.’s butcher. Tho shooting caused quit* a little breeze of excitement, which, however, soon passed over. Tile cause of the difficulty, as stated by the participants, is as wide apart as tho two poles. Snider says that he approached Wolf aliout a busi ness matter, when Wolf begun to curse and abuse him; that he then came back to his store and got his pistol and went liaok, wkei’etlpnq Wolf approached him and struck him will) an ax-handle. He then shot at him. lie was stmek again with a door bar, and he fired the second time. Both shots went wide of tho mark and buried theui selvua iu the coiling of the store. Wolf claims that tinkler came into the store where he was staying and without any provocation liegan shooting at him. After he fired tho first shot he struck linn with a little stick. He say* he had had no troublo with Snider, and is at a loss to know why ho should have been attockod in such a Violent manner. Both parties are under arrest. A boiler explosion occurred at Andy Hudson’s, at Harmony Grove, Monday. J. A. Sugar's engine and separator were at Mr. Hudson's threshing wheat and G. B. White bead was in charge of both. The engine was a tt-horse power engine, and when the boiler exploded hud on 108 pound* of steam. The force of the escaping steam blow the engine sixty-five yards in the air. It was blowu over tue separator and oue corner of THE MORNING NEWS: THURMAY. JUNE 30. 1887. the stable. G. B. Whitehead was killed in stantly. His body was blown over the sta ble. and his hear! was found in a field forty yards from where he was standing. When struck his brains, lungs and entrails were scattered far and near. His heart has not yet been found. Four others were seriously injured by the explosion. Frank Whitehead’s left arm was broken, and he was otherwise considerably bruised up. Bud Whitehead was badly scalded from the waist downward. Fred Hammond’s left foot was badly mashed. Larry Hudson's right side was considerably bruised, ami one or two ribs fractured. Besides these, several others were more or loss injured. Dr. H. S. Lucas, who has for several years been successfully operating the Lfurel creek corundum mines at Fine Mountain, in the eastern part of Rabun county, has very suddenly stopped all his works. The doctor has for some time been running a general store to pay his hands. He lias been running a force of from sixty to seventy five hands regularly. A few days since the hands waited on the doctor and informed him that unless he paid them one-half cash for their labor they would not work any longer, which lie refused to do, and has or dered the hands to vacate his houses at once. He is packing everything up and moving to another mine which is operating in Macon county, North Carolina, so the mines are, stopped for the present, at least. This will be a heavy blow to a great many, as they will he entirely out of employment. The hands are citizens of the surrounding country, who are not making any crops, and of course, it is too late to pitch a crop now for this year. The doctor says that more than half the hands are in debt to him more or leas, that he was hoping that during this year they would, most of them, catch ,up and support their families. An accident occurred on the East Ten nessee, Virginia and Georgia railroad about 11 o’clock Saturday night near Ooltewah Junction, by winch considerable damage was done and five men came near losing their lives. Freight train No. 26, east bound, left Chattanooga at 8 o’clock Satur day night, and when it reached Tyner’s it ran in on the side track to allow the east bound passenger train to pass. The freight train followed the passenger, and when near Summit was reached the freight did not stop to allow passenger train No. 11 for At lanta to pass, as it should have done. The freight men believed they could reach Oolte wab Junction ahead of the passenger, but they soon found out their mistake. When within a half mile of Ooltewah the flying passenger train overtook the freight, and ran into the caboose with terrific force. A negro brakeman in the caboose happened to be loooking out and saw' the approaching train He quickly awoke four men, ana they all ascajied before the caboose was tole -Bco{>e;i. All of them would have been killed but for the negro’s timely discovery, as the caboose was torn to splinters, as was also a box car. The engine was also badly dam aged, but no one on the passenger train was injured Two of the freight train crew were very severely burned. The track was cleared early Sunday morning, and all trains resumed schedules. FLORIDA. Bartow w'ants a national hank. A number of new dwellings are soon to be erected at Trabue.

The Enterprise Herald has this to ay about the upper St. John’s: “Old residits in this section say that the channel of he St. John’s river, between this place nd Blue Spring, thirty years ago, was fm ten to fifteen feet in depth, and that he current was swift. Now the channel is from six to ten feet deep and the currut sluggish. They predict also that it is a mere matter of time ere the upper portm of the river will be in the hands of tie drainage and reclaimed land commitfe, and that the beautiful, winding St. Johfs. banked w-ith its picturesque, troaßal growths, will be in the historic past. We are borrowing no trouble on that sore, however, but are still continuing tc an joy at every opportunity the beauties of the St. Johns, which are manifold <n Lake Monroe.” The misdoings of an unwise set of young men are stirring up Crawford. It Bunder stood that the same parties, or sonic of the same, who made an assault on B. J. (jarroll. at Crawford not long since, also atteked a singing school instructor a few day: since, who had just completed a course of ,Ktruc tion in a public school house near MUliam Johnson's, and have so badly used lei up that he is unable to get away. Fro: all that can to learned the assault was etirely dnprovoked, as the man had given com plete satisfaction, not a word laint naving been made by any of the porous, but all w-ere apparently well pleased, Yfter the close of his school, probably last ,'itur day, June 26, while standing in a mall crowd in social conversation, he was sud denly and unexpectedly struck on the jack of the head, ana so unmercifully beata as to be rendered helpless. Aleck Perkins (colored), who was ding sixty days for the city of Palatka, and vho, in Ins refusal to work on the streets, wa in carcerated in a sweat box with a par of eighteen-inch gigs attached to his anlles, succeeded in making his escape, and n a truly professional manner. The cell in which he was confined was one of sevcal in the basement, its dimensions being a butt five feet by six feet; he had succeeded in detaching from the wail a Rtrip of wax! twelve inches in length and one inch thiix: with tliis he had pried out a board between two stanchions, which left an opening if about 12x18 inches. He was seen tnis morn ing about 4:15, and spoken to, everythin; seeming all right, and at 5:15, a half hoir later, he was missed; he had taken ad vac* tage of the time when everybody about th) building is engaged, and with the largest gigs in the city clamped around‘his ankle*, had gotten 1 hut of the small opening he had made and got off. Speaking of a man named Milner, who disappeared from that place a few days ago. the Lake Helen correspondent of the lie La; id Chronicle says: ‘‘There is no longer miy room to doubt that he is a scamp and a fraud. It seems that his boasts about his money—his having $1(1,000 in bank, etc., were lies, coined out of whole cloth. His brother-in-law, who came a few days ago and took away Mrs. Milner and her children, says lie has not a dollar to his name. He bought out Mr. Ogden, but paid nothing oi: the contract, and when he went to Jaeksor. ville with Mr. Sheldon, the latter boughi him a round-trip ticket to Lynchburg. Yu. This Mr. Sheldon will lose, together with a large store bill. Other crooked things have since come to light. This fiasco places Mr. Sheldon in an embarrassing position. Heavy orders for goods had just !>een ordered on the strength of Milner's promised financial support, and engagements had been entered into that cannot now be met.” The most distressing accident that has ever hapjiened in Brooksville occurred Wednesday morning. A. V. Chelf and his boys, Owen and Roy, drove their one horse wagon down town to get a sewing machine and some forage. On their return home Roy sprang out of tho wagon to open the gate, Mr. Chelf sitting in the rear end of the wagon holding tho sewing machine. A* Owen dime through tho gate the horse locked back, saw the machine and took fright, running at full speed down through the grove. Mr. Chelf vainly tried to pull Owen lack over the seat by his jacket, but he hold on to the lines until they reached the fence, when tho horse turned quickly, throwing Mr. Chelf against, tho fence with sufficient, force to knock the board off and Owen was dashed head first, striking a post and board at the same time crushing his skull and rupturing a hloqd vessel of tho brain, the life blood spurting in a stream from the wound. Mr. Chelf, who had been thrown prostrate upon the ground, regained bis foot, and seeing Owen in the condition described, took him up in hi* arms and ran to the house. Physicians were summoned at once, and upon examin ing the wounded l>oy found that the skull was fractured in several places, and that a sharp pointed instrument had penetrated the top of the head, rupturing an artery of the bruin, from which no was fast bleeding to death. Tho hemorrhage was stopped and everything done for the poor sufferer that could be, but he died without a strug gle at 2:110 o’clock. Owen was nearly 12 years old. _ Exactly So.
