The steamer Inca took a party from Brunswick out to the blackflsh banks last Saturday from Cumberland, both gen tlemen and ladies. Shortly after starting a gentleman was standing in the pilot house loading a rifle for a lady friend to shoot a crane. The gun was pointing downward whilst he was manipulating it, and some how it went off, the ball passing through the floor and down through the mess room, just missing Capt. Keene s head who was seated at the table eating breakfast, but filling his coffee with splinters. The great wonder is tliat someone was not killed, as there were four men seated at the table. Covington Enterprise: In our opinion tho people of this section have never been swin dled or humbugged as completely by any one thing as they have been in the purchase of worthless fruit trees from foreign nurse ries. It is surprising to know to what ex tent this business has been carried in our county for many years past. Over #5,000 worth have been sold in Newton county in one season by a single firm. Of course there have been many good fruit trees sold by honest dealers, but the great bulk of the trees have been utterly worthless, and the fruit, in no particular, comparing with tho samples. The result is we have but few first-class peaches grown in this section. The damages to the rui Iroad bridge over Flint river, caused by the Montezuma boat running against it last Thursday, have bean repaired and trains are now running over it as usual. Track laving on this division is being pushed forward at the rate of a mile and a naif a day, the road already having been completed to a point six miles beyond Coney, and Supt. Baas thinks that with no mishap the road will have reached Abbe ville by Aug. 15. Tho camps at Gum creek were struck Sundny ana carried to the Alapalia river, a distance of twelve or fifteen miles, where active operations arc now in progress. Altogether, the work is progressing as rapidly and satisfactorily as one could possibly wish just now. For some time past some of the clerks of the principal counties of the State have been endeavoring to bring about a convention of all tho clerks of the state for the purpose of exchanging views upon some matters of in terest to all. The result is a call for a con vention to be held at the Kimball House at Atlanta on July 30. The call for the con vention sets forth the necessity for a more fraternal feeling and intimate relationship among the various officers, and calls atten tion to the deficiencies in the laws relative to duties and fees of officers. All these mats ters are to come up for discussion. Reduced rates have been procured on all the roads of the State and it is confidently expected that every clerk in the State will atteud the con vention, which will be the first one of its kind ever held in this State. An attempt was made to wreck a train on the eastern extension of the Amerieus, Pres ton and Lmnpkin railroad Monday morning. Where the road passes through the Lockett place, about three tniles from Amerieus, there is a sharp curve, and at this point some miscreant bad drawn every spike from one of the inside rails for tho evident pur pose of throwing the train from the track. Luckily an engine was sent out over the lino in advance of the regular morning passenger train, and it was this that ran upon the rail first instead of tho train, for which the trap was evidently intended. The engine left the track and ran tho length of the rail upon the crosstip. where, instead of turning over, it fortunately struck the next rail right, and got upon tho track again without, damage. Home time ago Adjt. Gen. Kell forwarded to the War Department at Washington a complete list of Georgia's militia in re sponse to a circular Tetter requesting it. Monday ho received a pamphlet from tho department in which is published a list of the militia iu ouch of the States and Terri tories compiled from official data collected by the department. In this list Georgia "shows up unexpectedly well. Her militia ’ ranks fifth in the list of States. South Caro lina slightly outnumbers her, aud no other Southern State approximates her. The six largest are: New York 12,497, Pennsylvania 8,282, Ohio 5,777, South Carolina 4,457, Georgia 4,305, aud Massachusetts 4,154. No other State reaches 4,000. Arkansas has no organized militia. The aggregate in all tho States is 91,584; in the Territories 4,580: in the District of Columbia 1,103, and the grand aggregate is 97.267. The river bank at Augusta, where the new steamboats are being constructed, lias become quite popular recently. The hull of the first Augusta boat now shows its shape clearly and will be finished rapidly. In about two weeks it will be launched, the upper works to be completed below the bridges. When the hull of the first boat has been floated an additional force of bauds will be put to work on the second, thus expedit ing matters considerably. The AVooaward l>oat, further down, is also showing tho 1 effects of quick work. It will not boas large as the Augusta Ixiats, and will differ from them by having a scow bow, theirs be ing round. This boat's machinery will be furnished by the H ween vs, who are building the other steamers. Mr. Woodward says his boat will be readv by Sept. 1, aud will carry freight of a kind—bringing wood when no other work offers. Georgia State uili-uds get tho following salaries: Governor, $3,000; Secretary of State, Comptroller General, Treasurer and Attorney General, $2,000 each; State Libra rian, $1,500; Assistant State Librarian, SSOO.

MoCotnb and his niece, a girl of 13 or 13 years of age, wore returning to Milledgo ville from a visit to his plantation at tho Mount, inn buggy, and when iu u very nar row jiortion of the road, like a railroad cut, n rock, weighing about three pounds, was burled at them by sotno party in ambush. It, was thrown from tho rear of the buggy, and struck tho hat of Mr. MeConib, just above tho hatband, barely graz ing the crown, but leaving a plain mark. An inch, or half inch, hack of where the rock struck, would have made tho blow n fatal one. Mr. MeConib wus going so rapidly down hill he could not stop the horse at once, aud when he returned to the top of the hill he had to find someone to hold the horse while he made search for tho villain. B.V this time the perpetrator of the coward ly act had made u afo retreat. Mr. Me- Contb cannot assign a reason for this as sault, as he die's not know of an enemy in the neighborhood of the occurrence. Brunswick Advertiser-. Jim Jenkins, alias Jack White, a notoriously desperate negro that was convicted at the April term, I*M, of Dougherty Superior Court, of mur dering another negro in West Dougherty, and sentenced to the penitentiary for life effected his escape in 1883. He came to tills City and here wedded a dusky damsel. The course of their domestic felicity was fre quently interrupted by “fusses and fights." Finally his wife had film arrested, charged with assault with intent to murder. On tho trial lie was eonviet. il of wife-whipping and sentenced to lubor in thechnin-gangfor twelve mouths. \\ hen scnuuieisl he ap ]ieared Indifferent and was verv Impudent und insulting m his remarks, anil wlusperisi to his guard that, wheu tic got fns' lie would make the Judge's “toes turn up.” M. A. \Viggms, ot this city, overheard not long since a conversation that Induced him to Ik<- lieve that Jack was aa escaped convict, mid upon investigation discovered his identity. Mr. Wiggins delivered him to the principal keeper of the penitentiary last Thursday. Mr Wiggins reooived a reward of $1.50, Tlie Mormons conducted their services Sunday about, 360 yards beyond the boun dary hue of Richmond comity, in Columbia THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, JULY 13, 1887. i county. At 10 o'clock the following six can ! didates were baptized in the waters on J. L. Turner’s plantation: Babe Copeland and wife, James Newman and wife, Tideman and wife. Newman and wife were baptized in the same water several months ago by Missionary Baptist preachers. The baptism ! was witnessed by thirty people. At 2 o'clock ! tho candidates were confirmed by the laying on of hands. Three | <‘flier persons wore to have been baptized, but, after careful consideration, declined, us they would be compelled to go to T. T tah. Mormon doctrines are now being taughtand preached to both colored and white ignorant j iconic in that vicinity. At the same time. 2 o’clock, services wore being conducted within a few steps, at which Missionary Bap tist preachers were preaching their doctrine. The Mormon converts will leave the latter part of this mont h for l T tah. The Mormon preachers arc afraid to hold services at night when the surrounding residents are at home, they entertain the apprehension of Icing injured. The fanners in that locality are becoming indignant, as their wives and daughters have t>oen approached during their absence at business. A shooting scrape occurred between two parties last Saturday at a jioint about nine oren miles from Augusta, on the Georgia railroad. The parties implicated in the row were Martin Blaekstone and his brother and a son of Thomas Inglett. luglett had sent a note to Blaekstone by his sister, a girl of about ten years of age, asking the payment of some money owed to Inglett by Blaekstone. Black stone cursed the little girl and drove her home. The two parties live only a short distance apart—about a quarter of u mile — on adjoining properties. When Inglett’s sister returned with the story of her treat ment bv Blaekstone, young Inglett took a double-barreled shot gun and went to the fence dividing the property,near Blades tone's house. The latter was stauding in the door similarly armed, seeming to exjieet Inglett, after the harsh reception of the little girL Inglett asked why he had cursed his sister, but the question was only answered by a shot from Blaekstone, but only a few snot took effect. Inglett answered the fire with more damage. Blaekstone escaped with a few scattering shot, but the larger part of the shot struck Mrs. Blaekstone, who was sitting within the house. The wound, which is in the breast, is a very severe one. War rants have been sworn out for assault with intent to kill and were served. The pre liminary hearing was had at Grovetown Monday, aud Inglett was released, while Blaekstone was remanded for trial on the charge embodied in the warrant. At Atlanta Judge Marshall J. Clarke lias just rendered a consent decree in the litiga tion between Mrs. F. P. Gray and C. H. Strong, administrator, M. G. Dobbins and others, which settles nine heavy lawsuits which have for a long time been pending in the Federal and State courts, involving property to the amount of about #50.000. This decree was based upon a settlement brought about by the attorneys interested. The suits originated in some business transactions between the lute Frank P. Gray, M. G. Dobbins and J. J. Howard. The first of those was the sale by Gray of one-fourth interest in a cotton factory at Adairsville in exchange for Howard’s plan tation in Bartow county. Mr. Dobbins sold to Sir. Gray the West End property, and agreed to take a perfect title to tho Howard plantation in part payment. Dobbins took a mortgage on the cotton factory as collat eral security for loaned money, and bought art fa issued by the Lowell Machine Com pany against tiie cotton factory company for the purchase money of machinery. Since the first suit was filed tho suit! have increased until there were nine settled by this compromise. By tho terms of the settlement, which is signed by all parties to the litigation, all thp cases are dismissed at the costs of complain ants. Mrs. Gray surrenders possession of the West End property’ to Miles G. Dobbins, he giving her an optjou upon the property until July 15 at $15,000. Howard takes pos session of the Wallace farm, he and Dobbins dividing the rent for the present year. Dob bins and Mrs. Gray execute to each other a quit claim deed to one-half interest in the Adairsville cotton factory. Other minorde tails were arranged. The settlement is one of the most important evor effected in Geor gia. FLORIDA. Titusville will soon eujoy the benefits of a steam laundry. The summer boom of the Suwar.ee river has conunenced. Anew postoffice has been established at Boca Grande, Monroe county. A snake swallowing a large toad was one of the sights of Titusville, the other day. Titusville real estate agents have been doing a large business in town lots recently. Tho immense boilers of the Ponce de Leon Hotel at St. Augustine are being placed in position. Al>e Kamsdell lirnl the misfortune to near ly saw off one of his fingers at Bond’s mill at Highland Friday.

They grew on seedling trees, the product of pits brought from Tonuossee. Tho telephone in the freight office of tho Jacksonville and St. Augustine railroad, in South Jacksonville, was burned Sunday last by lightning striking the wire near the tele phone a:nl passing over it. Tho shook was plainly felt in the central office. Messrs. Haynes, Young and Bailey are so well pleased with their Niagara grape ven ture near Orlando that they have five acres more cleared to be planted next winter. A number of our fruit growers are also ar ranging with those gentlemen to got plants. The steamer Shipman Capt. B. F.

It is thought by some that one or both of thorn should have been bound over. Two prisoners escaped from the county jail at St. Augustine Sunday morning. The Sheriff was giving them breakfast, when they suddenly assaulted him, and after a struggle mailo their escape. They’ were pursued bv Deputy Quigley, but were not found. They were both seer on the Tocoi railroad, but nothing has L-eeu heard of them since. The bridge across the St. John's river at Palatka is the subject of much comment about that town! Rumors and counter rumors fill the air, some betting that it will go to the Florida Southern dock and others that it will go to the Jacksonville, Tampa and Key West dock. Meanwhile the work of getting out the timbers and framing goes steadily on. A lady in Orlando has received a letter from a friend in Key West, iu which she writes that an emiueut physician there says there is absolutely no probability of the yel low fever being suppressed until winter, by which time all unacciimated material will be used up or distributed through the Egmont quarantine station, aud it can then be easily stopped. Some of the citizens of Eustis have in augurated a system of free excursions to ana from Eustis and the different lake points. The steamer A. J.

The registration books for Tampa, closed ■*oti Wednesday, show 893 registered voters. There are several hundred persons in the city not eligible for registration, and fully 100 more who failed to register who were entitled to that, privilege, which, with a large port of the town not included in the _ new corporation, would show that the popu '’lation of Tampa will reach the neighbor hood of 7,000, all told. Mr. Riley Johnson's grove near Kissim mee bloomed this spring and set a crop of fruit. It is now blooming again, and will yield a larger crop of late oranges than he will get from his spring blossoming. If orange growers could ascertain the cause of this strange freak, and manage so as to pro duoe a crop for summer shipment, they would make much larger returns from sum mer than from full ana winter sales. On Monday last a young man, Albert Shaw, who .was on his way from Chipley to C atnplielljon.vi as struck by lightning on’the roadside two milee from the latter town. It upprars that he had taken shelter under a .tree, and during the thunderstorm of that daarewas struck by lightning and instantly killed. When found his clothes and shoe upon the left side and foot were entirely torn from his'body, and the shoe of the left 'foot was found some distance off. The city officials of Sanford believe they have some due in the matter of the dead baby founffthere on Friday last. In order that the merits of their suspicions may be tested. Solicitor Beggs was sent for and Judge Sirrine opened his court. A jury was summoned preparatory to holding a court of inquiry and inquest. Owing, however, to the inability to have all the witnesses de sired by the officials the case was postponed until 8:30 Tuesday morning. A guard will be kept over the premises of suspected par ties until an investigation is made, and, in fact, no stone will be left unturned until the matter is fully cleared up, if it can be cleared at all. Jacksonville Times-Unionr Some months the Florida State Mercantile Agency was started iu this city, the object being to do a general collecting business, and to pub lish all persons in their “black list” who de- Iclined to pay such bills as the agency saw tit to send to them. Their business was con ducted at No, 53West Bay street, and they wont around the city and they got numerous subscribers to this “black list,” which was to be published monthly, for the .general protection of merchants and others. After getting a good many annual subscrib ers to the publication, a number of whom pajd in advance, they contracted with the Titnes-Vnion ion offioe to print their pam phlet for them. One or two issues was properly printed and promptly deliv ered to the agency under the impression that they were responsible, but they have •disappeared from thecity, die Timet-Hnion is out the amount of its printing bill, and the subscribers of the publication, who paid in advance, are out the amount paid in, ex 'cvpting one or two issues, and such irrespon sible and unprincipled men as these set themselves up iu a venture to attempt to build up or pull down our citizens as they see fit.
