At Ty Ty tho election returns for the re moval of the court house were not received until Monday. The official count of tho vote at Isabella stood; Hilvester 717, Sumner 708, Isabella 28, Ty-Ty 1. So it will be seen it was almost a tie between tho contesting places. Will Copeland, in attempting to jump on a moving train at Big Raccoon, on the East Tenuessee road, Sunday, missed his foothold and fell. One leg rested ou the rail and was crushed off. The wounded man was carried to Dallas, where he now lies in a precarious condition. The Governor drew an executive warrant Monday for $4,000 in favor of the State Asylum for the Blind at Macon.

The editor of the Conyers Solid South is responsible for the following; “Some of the fanatical members of the Georgia Legisla ture are in favor of building a Kimball House for the convicts.

Mr. William Ezell sued for the possession of his child then in tho custody of its mother, Mrs. Grace Ezell. In 1884, Mr. William Ezell und Mias Grace Mcrriwether were married, which resulted in a separa tion in December, 1886, tho child being left in its mother’s hands. Col. Preston repre sented Mr. Ezell and Col. Dessau represent**! Mrs. Ezell. The child was given to its mother until it is 7 years old. During the recent commencement of the University of Georgia, at Athens, several alumni members of the Eta Chapter of Chi Phi held a meeting for the purpose of in augurating a movement to erect a club bouse for the Chi Phis at Athens.

Farmer’s plantation, ton miles from Augusta, just outside of Rich mond in Columbia county, Henry Farmer frid hi* wife were baptized. After the bap tism Rev. John T. Good wyn, who was pres t’.d, was isidlv abused by J. L. Farmer. Farmer accused Mr. Goodwyn of giving the tewspapers a pa* - k of lies, which Mr. Good *vyn denied, and said what ho had said he fuUd substantiate. Farmer oommandivl im to leavo hi* ground and to keep off. he residents in that vicinity are getting tired of the Mormons, and will toko steps to uve them removed at the latter nurt of Urn jor early part of next week. Eight converts ; who have been baptized will leave for Utah, j A little negro girl named Charlietta, aged ! 5 years, and daughter of Mattie Gary, ; living below the gas works at Macon, died j Monday. The mother claims that on Thurs | day afternoon, late, Charlietta went home | complaining of being sick, anil said that Mary, auolYicr negro girl about 7 years of age, and with whom she played considera bly, had made her eat a lot of grass. The child went to bed, and was sick up to Monday. The mother went to Dr. Walker, she says, and obtained a prescription which was filled by Payne & King, but for some reason tho medicine was not given. Just before tin* child died, she is reported as repeating the story of eating the grass, and a number of negro women hoard it. The child Mary denies that Charlietta ate the grass, but the negroes in the neighborhood are firm in their belief that it was a case of poisoning. Officer Wognon went down to investigate the matter, but on hearing the age of Mary decided not to make any arrest. A lively riot occurred at the Central depot at Americus on Monday just, before the 12:20 train pulled out in which banjos, bricks and razors played an important part. A party of negro tourists were in the act of boarding the train en route to Birmingham when IV ill Everett (colored), of Americus, seized the occasion most opportune and cleft the skull of Robert King with a nice now kiln-dried brick. Robert shed considerable gore, but instead of getting mad and retaliating he at once set about to save all the debris of the badly crushed brick that he could. While this was going on, Jack Duffy wore out a banjo over tho head of Frank Everett, father of the belligerent William, who im mediately sought safety in flight, fairly splitting the atmosphere as he ran. Things began to look serious about this time ami a general row was imminent, when fortunate ly the train pulled out with the parties aboard, thus putting an end to the lively anil entertaining drama. Konio unknown miscreant effected an en trance at Americus into the new courthouse building Saturday night,and mounting one of the high benches left by tho workmen in tho county court room, proceeded to cut the plastering overhead with an axe or hatchet. The room is 20x30 foot in dimension, anil nearly the entire celling was hacked anil cut down in such a manner as to make it necessary to do the entire work over again. A colored workman heard the cutting from the outside, and notifying a police man they entered the building together just in time to see the man who did the cutting go out of tho window head first. He had procured a ladder from a neighboring build ing, and placing it against otto of the lower windows went in. There is no clue as to who the party was, but as this is the second time that tho act has been committed, a strict watch will hereafter be kept upon tlie building, and if tho miscreant is cap tured he will be made to suffer the full pen alties for his diabolical work. Seaborn I. Saffold, of Selina, Ala., was at tlie executive office at Atlanta Monday for the purpose of collecting the reward of $l6O offered for tho arrest of Ben F. Williams. Williams was wanted in I’ulaski county for a felony, and Saffold turned him over to the Sheriff of that county July 10. The reward was not paid Saffold for the reason that the power of attorney he brought from Sir. Carlisle, who was tho State’s agent in tho matter, was not regular. The objection was merely formal, as there was no doubt that Mr. Saffold was all he claimed to lie in the matter. Ho will return the warrant after it is properly corrected. Tho history of Ben Williams is rather an unusual one. He was first arrested for murdering nn old man in Pulaski county, having first forged his name to a deed of some land, the murder being intended to conceal the other crime. Ho was arrested and tried, but was acquitted, His accom plice in the matter was thought to bo easily convicted if Williams could tie induced to testify against him, but having been ac quitted Williams had left for another State. Ho was then indicted for forgery, and a re ward of $l5O offered for his arrest. In the mean while the trial of his ac complice canto off, and Williams not being present, he was acquitted. The prosecution then had no use for Williams, and an effort was made to have the reward withdrawn. But it was not, and Ik>ohuso of it Williams was finally apprehended. lie will ho tried at the next term of I’ulaski Superior Court. FLORIDA. Guava troes about Orlando arc loaded with fruit. The Santa Rosa Iliflos received their guns Wednesday. Oakland has an artesian well 800 feet deep and still no water. The spire of the new Methodist church at Altoona is 00 feet high. Gardens are being prepared and groves cleared up around Fort Ogden. Anew market house is b ‘ing erected near the Contral Hotel at Fort Ogden. Lake Weir is credited with having tlie largest lemon grove in the world. A sneak thief is at work in Pensacola. His exploits have netted $3 so far.

Farmers about Peru, Hillsborough coun ty, are going into broom corn extensively. Fifteen hundred dollars has been appro priated to fill up boles, etc., in the streets of Key West. Teachers of DeSoto county are invited to attend the Teachers’ Institute at Bartow, Polk county, July 24. Two negroes were shot at Owensboro on Monday. They wero gambling. One, it is thought, will not recover. The post office has been discontinued at Violet, Santa Rosa county, and its mail has licen ordered to Otaehite. George Priest, of Anthony, claimstobave corn which will yield forty or fifty bushels per acre, not hummock land, either. At A It* * mu. J. S. Blackmail resigned his oflice us Councilman Thursday night. Pres sure of private business was tin 1 cause. At Olustee peaches seem to lie getting so cheap that people can’t, get any, on account of its not jiayiug to haul them to market. Tho citizens of Micanopy are doing all in their power to have the main line of the Florida Southern run through that thriving little village. The store of H. C. Douglass nt Citra was entered last Tuesday and $1(H) worth of goods stolen. One man is under arrest and others are suspected. Tin* Board of Trustees of the Anthony Graded School are now receiving uppliru tlons for the priucipalship. Tho election will take place a few weeks hence. The question of removing the guard house and budding a market house has lieen laid over until a suitaole location could bo se looted by the Branford authorities. Mr Mi Dormott, contractor for the erec tion of the tower for tho llev West fire bell, has ordered tin* timber therefor, and work will commence upon its arrival. The Suinterville Time* estimates that tlie taxable property of Sumter county will reach about $1,1)00,(KX), tlie population about 5,000 and the registered vote about 1,000. At a mis ting of the board of trustees for the Wait Florida Bominary, held In Talla hassee last week, it was decided to postpone the election of teachers until next month. Murray E. Hall, fora long time station agent at Seville, has been appointed chief o|ierator and train dispatcher of tlie Orange Belt railway, with headquarters at Oakland. Twenty or thirty head of cattle wore drowned in tho river between Forts Denaud und Thompson tho other day. No other particulars ns to how it happened or to whom they belonged. Many of the cigar manufacturers at Key We*t reduced th dr force* two-thirds; others will shortly follow suit. And, in deed, several antlcijmte closing entirely mi til letter transportation facilities can be secured. W. 11. Edwards, having bought out (3. H. Baxter, will, tu souu as be caught pouvasiou THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, JULY 20, 1887. of the Baxter store houses at Olustee, fill both full of new goods. One will be filled 1 with groceries and drugs, the other with drygoods. Tlie new Democratic Executive Commit tee for the new county of Lake met at Ya luha July 14 to recommend to the Governor for appointment a registering officer for county, to register for the coming election to decide the county seat. A box of preserved oranges was received in i’alatka Friday from S. J. Hoggson, of New Haven, Conn., whose process wus ex plained in these columns last winter. Sev eral gentlemen who tasted them stated it as their belief that the process was successful. The Bonifay Manufacturing Company is doing a large and constantly increasing business both at its store and mill, in oppo sition to the preconceived idea that busi ness in Florida is only active in winter, and in summer is virtually stagnant from the excessive heat. Efforts are being made to establish a pub lic hospital at St. Augustine, and the sum of $2,000 has already lieen subscribed toward that end. It is proposeu to organize a dra matic company, composed of local talent, the proceeds or the entertainment to be de voted to this object. At Bonifay, the Teachers’ Institute is still in session, and some very interesting discus sions have taken place From the high in telligence of those constituting the confer ence this free exchange of ideas will bo pro- ductive of much good to the educational in terests of West Florida. The firet ballot of the new Lake County Commissioners, in relation to where tlie temporary county scat should be, was: Leesburg, 2; Altoona, 1; Eustis 1, and Tavares 1. It may be some time lie fore oven this is settled. Talk runs high, and is the theme just now. On his last trip to DeFuniak Springs, F. C. (Shephard, of Pensacola, took up a keg of fish to tie evaporated in the DeFuniak fruit dryer. The result of this experiment will be watched with interest. If gulf fish can be disposed of in a dry state it will open up a wide field for new industries. Crops continue to do well around Anthony and no alarm is heard on account of rust or worms. Corn is especially promising—in fact, a good crop of this cereal is assured. Cotton as yet is among the unknown quan tity, for this crop cannot be safely counted on until it is gathered. Still the prospect is fair. From reliable sources the Lake City Re porter learns that the acreage planted in provision crops in Columbia county is larger this year than for a long time past, and as a rule few debts have been made by the farm ers. Everything indicates a more satisfac tory state of affaire than for tho past ten years. A visitor to Santa Rosa Island recently brought to Pensacola several specimens of a lii which he had found growing there and exhibited them. The penis of a brilliant red color, about tho size of a white lioan, grows in a pod about the size of tho green u u’s, and ou a plant about one foot in height. At a meeting of tho Branford Town Council on Tuesday the books of the Tax Assessor were presented for insjiection, and showed $84,000 as the amount of taxable town property. A tax of ii\e mills ad valorem was levied by the Council for general revenue, and A. B. Peterbaugh deputized by the Council to col lect the same. A now excursion steamer called the Bes sie M. will soon be plying the waters of Pensacola Bay. She is 76 feet in length, 1(5 feat beam, draws s}-.j feet, and is licensed to carry 250 passengers. Her former owners claimed a spued for her of 13ki knots per hour. She is expected to arrive here in about a week, when she will bo put to work immediately. At Hawthorne Vv'ill Hinson, who was shot through the upper part of the left lung by T. C. Holden, m the difficulty over the pub lic road on June 28, was up again on Friday, and out on tho street. Tho ball was skillfully taken out of the back by Drs. W. W. and \V. C. Johnson on Tuesday. The ball had embedded itself in a piece of rib and carried clear through the body to the back. A gentleman who lias bought land on tho river near Ogden for that purpose, will put up n fruit-oanmng and “fig-drying” factory for fruits as soon its the requisite amount of fruits to begin on can be grown. Tlie tin cans used will lie made on the place be tween the packing seasons. The gentleman speaks highly of the capacity of tlie sur rounding country, and says it only lacks development Dr. William Hanson is talking of extend ing a breakwater and filling with earth out some 400 feet, giving property owners oil the river front at Fort Myers 200 feet more ground, and giving a beautiful driveway, embowered with trees and tropical plants and shrubbery, making the most enchant ing drive of three miles in Florida —or any where else for that matter —along the Culoo sahatchco river. It is related of one of tho Key Westers who went to Noxv York and was returning home via Jacksonville, that when lie went into tho telegraph office at that place to send a dispatch, lie was very much incensed at the delay in getting his message off, until it was explained by telling him it was necessary to disinfect the dispatch before sending it, as it might scatte' - yellow fever along the road. He was entirely satisfied with the explanation and went away happy. There will lie a colored excursion from Jacksonville to Palatka Friday, and the bill states that excursionists can remain over to see the hanging of Wiggins the day follow ing. The prospects are that it will not be very long before another such attraction w - ill lie provided for excursionists in the hanging of Steve Joiner. It is strange how these people will Hock to a hanging, even of one of their own race. They make a regu lar holiday of it, and attend every one they can, often going miles to view the horrible sight. The Pensacola Ice Company has one of tho prettiest turtles ever seen in that vi cinity. Its back would seem to have been grained by a most accomplished artist, and it is of that t ransparency seen in the tor toise shell. Mr. Cobb asserts that it is of that peculiar material of which tortoise shell combs and ornaments are made. The handsome creature was captured in Dillon's pond, across the bay, and tlie unsentimental Dillon insists that it is a true and bona fide specimen of tin* green turtle, refusing to admit that it is a stranger. It w ill weigh about five pounds. Since recent rains the clover that was sown in Mr. Hanibror's field at South Boni fay is doing well and lias now a vigorous growth, thus demonstrating that the soil here, under proper core and cultivation, wiil grow clover ils well a* in the North or Northwest. Before the Northwest was set tled up tlie cry wa* that clover would not grew in lowa, etc., all of which is now known to lie ab-urd. Th<* same reason is equally applicable to Western Florida. \ ast nerds of sheep and cuttle can Isi profit ibly raised at a minimum of expense, shipped North and sold at remunerative figures. Sixty-five passengers of both sexes nr rived at Eustis Friday evening on tlie steamer Emmie, from along the Ocklnwahn river, as fur down re Moss Bluff. This is the Emmie's first of a series of weekly trips to Eustis ami return, arriving here every Friday, picking up passengers at Moss Bluff, Pine Bluff, Kmaralda, etc. They were detained two mid a half hours at the Ocklawalia drawbridge, on the Florida Southern crossing. The passengers lore the appearance of n high-minded, intelligent and prosperous class of | Niople, and among them were some Winnie la*sies, who seemed j to kindle a spark in the eyes of some of the ; youths of Eustis. Paito'ftlio trip of the Emmie is through some of the lu st hum mock orange grovre in Ploridu. An a result of correspondence between 11. R Boyer, Signal Service Observer at Key West, George H. A. Blake of the Bahamas, and (Jen. A \V. Greely, • ’hief Signal Officer, relative to the establishment or a homing pigeon station in Key West, J. J. O’Don nell lias lieen ordered to report as an assistant to Mr. Boyer. An experimental station for the care aiul training of homing pigeon* for uiilitury purpjaoj, u> to bu o>taUi*hul at Key West under the charge of Mr. O’Don nell, who is now undergoing a course of special study and observation in order to acquaint himself with the most approved methods of handling and caring for homing pigeon*. The project is in the nature of an experiment from which important military results may be expected. A gontlemnn from Orange Home, stop ping at the Cleveland Hotel in St. Augus tine, on Tuesday night last had retired to rest, but could not sleep on account of the talking of someone or more people on the veranda in front of his room. The gentle man went to the window, intending to re monstrate with the parties, but he soon changed his mind when be heard a part of the conversation. The parties, a gentleman and lady, were sitting in tho moonlight giv ing a partial rendition of Romeo and J uliet —he ardent and pressing, she coy and bash ful. He was pleading for a kiss, but she would not yield for a long time; finally, the man made a desperate effort and almost succeeded in getting tlie kiss, when the man on the inside was mean enough to say: “Don’t you do it:' 1 Tableau —Exeunt omnes. At St. Augustine an amusing incident occurred during the concert and dance at the old fort on Thmiday evening, to the great dismay of the victim of the episode. A young man was engaged in holding an animated conversation with a trio of charm ing young ladies, when they were startled by hearing a muffled report as of a pop gun. The young man aforesaid professed ignorance as to the cause of the report, but slapping his derby quickly over Ins coat pocket, he bid the ladies a hurried “good evening.” It appears that the young gen tleman had purchased a bottle of lager Vieer before going to the dance, and in waltzing around the parapet had agitated its con tents to such an extent that the cord flow out, and as his pocket was rapidly filling with the foaming liquid, he had to beat a hasty retreat. At. Hawthorne George Jenkins, a negro, tried to have a hog-killing time on Wednes day, with several to help him. Ho was try ing to catch a large boar with a heavy armory of tusks. Tlie hog had been secured, when m some way he got loose and made at Jenkins, striking his first lick at his bowels, and the snapping of his tusks being plainly beard, Jenkins continued to jump backward to keep out of his way, until lie jumped backward into a bush which tripped him; the 1 ioar continued his mad charge, and hav ing him down, cut some fearful gashes in tlie thighs, until Jenkins caught him in the mouth with his right hand and held him by tlie lower jaw until those around him could kill him. Jenkins’ hand was badly mashed, but lie was lucky to get off without 1 icing disemboweled. The whole affair happened so quickly it might have resulted seriously but for prompt action all around. Pliilip Dzialynski, from Fort Meade, is in Jacksonville visiting his brother Morris. He explained to a reporter Saturday the organization of anew company, of which he is a director and stockholder. The com pany is to bo known us tho Folk County Ileal Estate and Railroad Company. It is incorporated under tho laws of the State, and begins business with n capital of #IOO,- 000. The first meeting after their incorpo ration was hold last Monday, at which time the following officers were elected for tho coming year: Cant. I). Hughes, of Bar tow, President; W. B. Varn, of Bar tow, Treasurer, and Fred N. Varn, of Fort Meade, Secretary. Messrs. T. IV. Anderson, J. T. Wilson arid J. J. Wade, of Homeland, P. Dzialynski, of Ft. Meade, and D. Hughes, of Bartow, are tho board of directors. They have a capital stock of $100,(XiO, all paid in. The gentle men interested are all men of large moans. They represent collectively over $500,000. Tlie object of the company is to buy, sell and improve property, and to build a rail road wherever it will enhance the value of this preqierty. They have a charter for a road from Plant City to Ft, Meade, and will probably have such changes made as are necessary, so that the road can be built via Bartow. MEPICAL. Attacks o?
