Oliver, Jr., of Sylvania, was taking some melon rinds to his pigs, one of his horses, being loose in the vard, approached the little fellow to get a bit** at the rimls.

He was carried to Macon before Commissioner l/x*ke, who bound him over in tho sum of 920 0 for his upixmmuce at the Oetoixir term of the Uni ted Status Court at Macon. His shortage doesn’t amount to a great deal, and Ins friends and bondsmen will probably nay him out. His bondsmen Uavo taken charge of the offico at Pelham and Dr. Hives is discharging the duties of postmaster for them. On the morning of July 4 Simon L. God win, a young man in the employ of Messrs. Wilcox & Powell, lumber manufacturers on the Ocniulgee river, some ten miles distant from Eastman, was accidentally killed. While in tlie discharge of his duty as head block setter he let his foot, slip, which pre cipitated him head foremost on the rapidly revolving saw, the fearful machine striking him on the head and passing downward, severing his right arm and passed nearly di rectly through Iris body, tearing tho flesh from the bones in a torriblo manner and literally strewing tho works around with brains and I>l*m,l- a sight most awful to contemplate and worse to witness. During a thunder storm at Hamilton Wednesday afternoon there was a vivid flash of lightning followed by a terrific crash of thunder. Jimmie Lowe was at the time passing from Mrs. (Singleton’s to his father’s residence, and was knocked down by the holt. .Mrs. Singleton saw him fall and ran to his assistance. He soon partially recovered from the shook, but in describing bis sensations said that he felt liko he had Ixxm struck ou the shoulder with a slixlgc hammer. There is still a slight dewiness about his arm and shoulder, which will probably soon pass away. Otherwise he has not suffered from the shock. The same bolt struck the railroad near Mr. West’s resi dence. Augusta lias lost two of her Celestial citi zens. Tommie Loo Chung and Chung Hi purchased tickets Wednesday for San Fran cisco, and were soon ensconced in tho luxu rious seats of the Georgia fast train. There they were seen by a reporter, aud the splen dor of their attire and a relaxation of facial muscularity at onoe aroused his curiosity. The ordinary John is not prono to demon strations. These two were as happy as well stuffed purses and visions of home could muko them. They had slaved and saved for a number of years, and havo “quit” Au gusta several thousands winner. They will take in New Orleans on their trip, where they have several “brudders,” and propose to have a royal lark. From there they will make for tho Pacific slope and home. At Sandersville Tuesday Sheriff Wail sold three tracts of land levied on as the proper ty of Jesse A, Robson to satisfy the execu tioas levied against him anil his securities on his State bond, on account of failure of collector to pay over the tax due the State. Before the sale of these tracts Mr. Robson stated publicly that tho lauds were the pro[x*rty of his children and purchased with their money. The tract known as the Brant ley and Smith place was sold for SOOO, and the Bynum tract for S2OO to W. R. Thig pen, agent of tho Corbin Banking Com pany, and the Johnson tract, in the Ninety sixtn district, was sold to W. E. Sinunons, *of Lawrenccville, representing the same company, for S2OO. As these sales will, however, bo litigated, Col. B. D. Evans, Sr., representing the bondsmen, 1 hen announced that lie was ready to take up tho executions issued by the State. He then paid out for each of the soven bondsmen the sum of $402, making $2,814 in all. Tuosday night just at 12 o’clock, the resi dence of Col. T. 11. Mills, on the southern suburbs of Griffin, was* burglarized iu a very skillful manner by thieves who evi dently were well acquainted witli the situa tion of the romps. -The first room enter*d was that where his children slept and hail stored their girlish treasures. In this room the thief picked up a lot of dolls aud chil dren’s c lothing, a watch and chain, but not being sat isfied with that he went into the room whore Col, Mills and wife wore reposing anil made away with some money that lmd tieen deposited with Col. Mills by another party and anew- suit of clothes, a pair of shoes and other effects. Col. Mills discovered tho burglar as he was getting out of the window, and on giving tho alarm the thief dropped the clothes and made his escape. The negro who entered the room was about 12 years of age, but had a confederate outside to whom no handed the goods. They will probably bo appre hended, as the boy was rei*ogmzed. At Americus on Wednesday morning the street force, under overseer Raiford, went over to the Kldrldgo pond, just north of the city, for the purpose of draining it and clearing up the swamp around it so that tin* spring around it could be utilized for the city’s water supply. Several dozen men and boys were on hand to “assist," as it was generally known that the pond was well stocked with fine fish of all kinds, and whon theduin lmd been cut and the water drained off there was a promiscuous scramble for tho fine trout, suckers and jack, and other fish tlmt luy floundering about in the mud and water. To such a high pitch did tlio excitement run that Aldermen Rylander and Oliver, who were superintending the work, forgot tho dignity of their official txjsition and plunged ill up to their waists in mud and water, and entered into the sport with as much gusto as tho average small Ixjy could possibly have manifested. Nearly a barrolfull of splendid fish were captured, some of the trout weighing 7 and 8 pounds each. It came out at Macon Wednesday for the first time suit a shixiting affair took place SSmulay affmionn near the city, in the rear of the county hospital. The facts in tho case, as far as can be gathered, aro those: It seems that the woods in that vicinity are the Sunday resort of a lot of negro men and boys, who congregate for the purpose of gambling and other devilment. Last Sun there were about forty present, and dif bit the afternoon a boy named Newton MiiiWtd. sfruek a dog belonging to Rnfe Ray. This caused a light between Newton mid Rnfe, in which it is said Newton was getting tin* best of it, when the com batants were iirt**d. It is charged that Newton went off to an uncle’s house near by and borrowed a gun, telling his uncle that In* wanted to shoot a rattlesnake. He then returned to where Rnfe was, but was prevented by the crowd from using the Weapon, Haft* went off saving he would see Newton later, mid going to his house loaded Ins gun with two slugs, some buck shot and two charges of bird siiot. He then went off in the dfnx'tion of tin* crowd, but seeing Newton coming in the path with his gun, secreted himself iu some bush**s anil waited until Newton came up and then flnxl. The load took effect iu the right arm and head. Rnfe then lied. George I’. Collins, a foreman cutter at W. E. Benson ec C’e.'s tailoring establishment, left Augusta on June 13 under pretense of going to I'ortcr Springs for the benefit of hi* health. Homo two years ago Collins came to Augusta from New York. In 1880 lie married Miss H 1,. Davis, of Mexico, Miss. On (Jot. 11 of the same year lie insti tuted divorce proceedings, but the court* re fused to grant him a divorce. Being known to some parties in Augusta, lie male a state ment to them upon his arrival here that his wife anil ehild were dead. However, lately it came to light that the man’s wife wnx alive und well, and at her father s home. Collins, getting wind of tin* revelation, dix’Hed at once on a clean skip. Accord ingly on the date mentioned above, having given notice to Mr. Benson of hi* intended trip to Porter Spring, diqxirted. It U said that prior to leaving lit* and u com inuiion, one Small, who accompanied him, armed themselves with six chamber self cocking revolvers. From certain grave causes Collins feared attack. They got away, howovor, without molestation, and rumor now ha* It that CoUiu* UiU good THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, JULY 8, 1887. reason to fear. A letter has reached Au gusta from Small stating that he and Col lins hail traveled together as far as Cincin nati, but that there they had parted com pany. Small indicates by his letter that he does not now know where Collins is. The biggest part of the sensation is that there’s a woman in the case, by r whose friends Col lins is wanted. He has been masquerading as a widower, and was understxxxl to be en gaged to a most estimable lady in the city. FLORIDA. LeConte pears around Lake Mystic aro looking fine.

Tlie handsome new building of Slemons & Taylor, on Church street, Orlando, wost of tho railroad, is now completed, and adds much to tho appearance of that vicinity. The present indications are that, after Oct. 1 next Monticello will be a strictly temper ance town—the legal voters of the district being disinclined to sign license petitions. Tlie Board of Trade of Pulatka is getting up a map showing Balatka as a railroad centre. It is intended for free distribution, aud thousands of copies will lie sent abroad.

All these things point to the early commence ment of the bridge. I)r. W. W. Grant, of Monticello, Inis patented a combined “UeuUd cugiuc aud lathe,” which must prove very valuable and aine*st indispensable to the profession. It will be very desirable to traveling dentists, as the two machines are combined in one, and can lie carried in a very small box and weighs only a few pounds. Tho Circuit Court adjourned at Orlando last Friday, stopping in tho midst of the ease of Mrs. Johns vs. tlie Bouth Florida Railway Company on account of tho illness of the ivifo of Mr. Davis, one of the jury men. Judge Broome arrived in the city on Tuesday and the court resumed its session Wednesday morning, taking up the same case. * The tie trade seems to he a profitable in dustry at Bonifay, judging from the num bers who are engaged m it, and as the Pen sacola and Atlantic railway are thoroughly overhauling their roadbed, the demand will in all probability continue brisk, thus afford ing employment at paying figures to many of the poorer settlers who are averse to en gaging in public work, and who are scarcely in a position from the lack of funds to strike out for themselves. The Oakland Sun says that Judge J. G. Speer has a fine field of com on the margin of Lake Apopka, the stalks of which aro from oto 11 feet high and a few apparently 12. Adjoining this cornfield is a tract of ground upon which upland rice has been planted, and which is in a flourishing condi tion, a crop of corn having previously been gathered from the same piece of ground this year. The soil of both fields is very rich, being of a deep chocolate color, and would raise some of the finest vegetables in the world. At Apalachicola a few days ago little Frank Messina, son of Mr. and Airs. Frank Messina, a lad of some 0 years, and tho little daughter of Mr. anil Airs. Bruui, were drowned. They went out crabbing some time during the afternoon, and not coming homo when near dark a search was insti tuted for them. The search revealed a liat of one of the children on the wharf at Munro & Co.’s lumber pile. Several iwrties then got sponge poles and began to fish upon the bottom. In a short while the lx>dy of the little girl was brought to the top of the water and thence to the wharf, and some time after the body of little Frank was fished up from near the same spot. The bodies were disfigured somewhat by tho crabs. James Chester, colored, convicted in Sa vannah some six years ago of the murder of his wife, was arrested in Apalachicola last week by Officer Nedleynnd confined in the county juil where he remained up to Tues day last when he was turned over to Sheriff Pattison, of Bainbridge. Chester said tlmt he was sent up for five years, but was re leased after four years and five months for good lxdmvior, and that therefore he was arrested wrongfully. He told Officer Ned ley in the jail that sometime since he had a difficulty with the mate of a vessel lying at Darien, Ga.; that the mate attemped to shoot him. whereupon he attacked the mate with a knife anil cut him. “Did you kill him r queried the officer. “Wei,l now, that is another thing,” replied the prisoner. On the old sugar plantations, of which there are u number around St. Augustine, tho finest onions in the world can lx* raised. <in the old Casaeola plantation, owned by Hon. Frank B. Genovar, barrels of them are raised annually. Tho difficulty has been to preserve them so that they will not sprout or decay. A reporter has been shown some onions by Air. Bnrtolo Genovar, which he has had in his possession for some five months which have been preserved by steaming and afterward kiln-drying them. Air. Genovar is of the opinion that, with this methixl of keeping onions, their culture will prove a very valuable addition to the agricultural resources of the State, Ho in tends to go into the business extensively and is confident that in a few years Florida will not only raise enough onions for home consumption, but will be able also to raise them for export. A wooden building on tho north side of Church street, belonging to Mrs. V. P. Robinson and ocoupitxl by Messrs. Davis & Davis as a general feed and grocery store, was burned at Orlando Sunday night. Tho stock of Davis & Davis, consisting of corn, oats, peas, bocou, hay, canned goods, etc., was almost entirely destroyed, such as was not burned being ruined with water. It was valued at $l3lOO and was insured for $750 in tho St Paul Insurance Company. A part of the building was used by Capt. T. W. Bhine as a storage room for furniture. Before the fire had made much headway an attempt was made to save this, but the room was so full of smoke that it could not lie entered. The furniture was damaged by fire and water to tho ex tent of SIOO. Some damage was also sus tained by Air. Wuerfel, of the Franklin House. His house was emptied of its con tents and some of the furuiture was broken. The origin of the fire is a mystery. It is not thought that it ivas incendiary. At Apalachicola Wednesday morning Lewis \\ illiains and wife became engaged in a difficulty and it is said that Lewis struck his wife, whereupon Williams’ wife’s daughter picked up a brick and struck Williams with it. At this provocation Wil liams picked up a hatchet and threw it at the girl, narrowly missing her head tho hatchet striking the fence in the rear of the girl. Then Williams’ wife started to go for a policeman, when, eye witnesses say, Williams attacked tlie woman, mid made her go back into the house. Going into the house she pro cumin pistol, and leveling it at Williams, pulled tlie trigger. Failing to hit him she iirod the second time with like success. At the third attempt she had the pistol to Will iam’s breast, and Williams sprang toward her nail caught hold of her hands throwing them lx*hind her just as the pistol ivos discharged. Had Williams de layed a second hi* would have received the contents of the pistol in his breast. The belligerents were interviewed by His Honor, Alavor Rice. MEDICAL.
