Health Officer Roberts, who is prowling
around the back yards of pen) he's premises
at Daw on, got into trouble last week,
which was a little serious, though amusing.
Hu is in the liabit of hanging or hooking his
nose over the high fences and prying into
back yards, in search of something to report
to headquarters. An old lady in a certain
noiglilio. hood having heard of tho impu
dent stranger treating people that way, de
cided to fix him, as it were. She lay in am
bush two days before she saw his ugly cra
nium protrude over the fence, but. when she
did get a glimpse of him, she made a puss
at him with the battling stick and when he
got up he thought that lightning had struck
him. His wife says that he frequently
dodges aid shies yi t, like a mule thut. hail
been beaten over the head. The old lady
loosened two of his teeth and if you don’t
believe it just feel of them.
The much-talked of scare about the Plan
ters’ Loan and Savings Rank of Augusta is
something of u needle in a haystack. The
stockholders’ convention was held Wednes
day in the banking parlors, with Eugene
Verdery in tho chair anil B. 11. Smith act
ing secretary. A full quorum was present
and the meeting was very harmonious.
Nothing, ill fact, to disturb the serenity of
affairs occurred, and the stockholders, each
and every one, wure satisfied by President
Wright, of the perfect solvency of
the bank and its condition. The state
ment of the officers was full and very clear,
und the fact of passing a dividend shown
from the record to be u rare thing with the
bank. It. was decided to continue tho bank
ing business and to apply to tho Legislature
for an amendment to the charier. This ap
plication will be made at once, and the talk
of turning the bank into an insurance com
pany later on promises to be materialized.
This seems to Be the liest thing to the ma
jority, and they think there is mar"
in insurance than in 1 ' : th the
present double taxation tho city there
can Im no doubt of it, and there is no toll
ing what tho other haul will do.
At Americus Monday m i ...,.g Needham
Ijimli swore out a warrant for tne arrest of
his nephew, Joe Duckworth, bettor known
as Joe Duck, for outraging a half sister
three woi ks ago Tuesday. The unfortunate
woman, Mittie Lmub, is deformed in one
m ill and a leg, and is not considered very
bright. She wanted to go to her sister’s
house, west of Americas, and her nephew
agreed to carry her. When they were pass
ing anew house, built by the Heys brothers,
a few miles from town, Duck, seeing no
workmen aliout the plaee, turned aside to
look at t he In nix’. The poor wi>man protested,
but he persuaded her to go in and look at it.
and while in there forced her to submit to
his hellish passion. She licing both mentally
and physically afflicted, could do nothing
lmt scream, which brought her no relief.
He then got her back to ms buggy and car
ried her to her sister’s, and there left her.
The sister, after long persuasion, got the
story out of the unfortunate woman, and
the truth was made known to her brother,
the warrant was taken out, but the Duck is
gone. He has broil in town nearly every
(lay, until last Sat urday, since he committed
the crime, but Monday, fearing that, lie
would be caught ho left for parts unknown.
Ella Bennett and Catherine Pollock, no
grasses living upon the Amoskeag u.i 1
grounds near Kastman, engaged in a free
light on Thursday last, in which the former
vigorously used a razor with most horrible
effect. She first inflicted upon her antago
nist a deeii, long gash across tho left breast,
laying hmv the I sines, from which wound
ttie biooil flowed in copious streams. It
seems that Catherine was unarmed,
and after the first, stroke of the keen
wcuixm, tlie combatants embraced
each other, and again the woiti.ui with the
razor got, in her bloody work. The already
fearfully wounded woman was then eiit
from the right ear clear around the ba -1; of
the neck to the left ear, the sharp instru
ment severing the arteries and touching the
bontwiu its course, causing the head of tlie
now almost lifeless woman to full upon her
breast. She also received other wounds,
and would doubtless havo been killed upon
the spot had not parties interfered at this
juncluruof theuffrux and staved the hand of
the inluriutod woman. Dr. C. T. Latimer
attended the woman and did all in
Ins power to alleviate her sufferings, Tues
day noon she was still alive, witii but little
hopes of her recovery. Jealousy was at the
bottom of the tragedy—Kiln thinking that
Catherine was too demonstrative in her ac
tions towurd Her iElla's) husband. Ell.i was

Last Sunday afternoon during it heavy
rain storm lightning struck the topmast at
tached to the Liberty pole at Apalachicola,
bending the iron rod on the topmast, peel
ing off a considerable portion of the top of
the pole iu its downward course, entering
Uie ground in two circuits. The topmast is
almost worthless, and the pole is damaged
considerably. Quite a number of the cleats
were knocked from the polo. Capt. John

sitting in his billiard saloon at the time.
Both were considerably shocked by the elec
tricity, but only momentarily.
At the meeting of the Franklin Guards,

cussion took place over the excursion par
ticipatcd in by the company on July 4. The
dispute arose over levying an assessment of
50c. upon each member to make up a bal
ance due for the use of the steamer and the

ground that they did not participate in the
excursion; furthermore, that the question
whs not submitted to the company in open
meeting. The discussion grew pretty warm,
and dually culminated in blows between
several of the disputants, but which, fortu
nately, did not amount to anything very
serious.

at Jacksonville at 7:45 o’clock Wednesday
night, was delayed two and a half hours in
creeping over the debris along the line be
tween Mossy Head aiul Ponce do Lisin, on
tile Pensacola und Atlantic road. A terrific
cvelone swept over that section about 7
ocloek Wednesday morning, cutting down
trees, fences and houses like an immense
scythe. The track all along the line was
strewn with foiled tress and debris of all
sorts. At Argyle the storm did hut little

At Ht. Augustine an attempt was made

which proved to be a much more exciting
undertaking than was anticipated. A Miss
Herlx'rt, occupying moms near the bar
racks, was complained of by her neighbors
f • using profane language, and otherwise
disturbing the peace of the neighborhood.
City Marshal Drysdalennd Police Captain
Hindi went to the lady's house in a car
riage to make the arrest, but met with
sturdy opposition both from the irate
woman anil her brother, who tried to ilnve
a dirk through one of the officers, and, not
succeeding, essayed to chop up the millions
of the law, who hail invailed his premises,
with an ax. He was, with some difficulty
disarmed und the prisoner dragged down
thc> stairs vigorously, resisting nnd using
some very unladylike language. After land
ing their burden in the carriage she sudden
ly pretended to faint, but. (hiding it, hud no
effect save to n lux their hold ujion her, she
jumped up and tieiran fighting the officer*.
During tile melee the horses became fright
ened and nui away, throwing the driver,
Joseph Colee, out and seriously injuring
him. During the excitement the prisoner
uml her bruter made tin ir escape to the
liarrncks and up|>oalcd to the United States
soldiers far protection. The oftl.ers con
cluding that llioy hud had fun enough for
one day, decided not to molest the lielligor
cut couple until yesterdav, when they were
to lie taken U'forc tile Mayor. Th ■ couple
seem to Is-a little uuwttled, and both of
them have adorned their persona with mini
ature Amerieuu thus aua defy arrest. The
affair has caused much excitement, and
were it not for the serious accident to
“Dody” Colee, who is popular with every
one, it would be regarded as a very amus
ing circumstance.
One of the most cold-blooded murders
that occurred in Jacksonville for a great
while, was committed AVednosday night In
Brooklyn. The northern part of this sub
urb is inhabited mostly b.v colored people
and especially are they numerous on Leila
and Magnolia streets. At the corner of
these two streets, a colored man by the
name of Dan Jones keeps a small grocery
store and supplies. Hu Is considered quite
orderly by £hoee wiio know him, and no
one would have supposed him to
be capable of a cold-blooded murder.
His victim’s name is Alfred Jefferson, a
man of about forty years of age and well
known as lielng sober and quiet. It seems
from tho testimony of bystanders that Jones
and Jefferson, together with several other
colored men, went out in a boat Tuesday
night to cate-li tlsfi and shrypp. They re
turned in the morning all in good humor
and net difference between them. AVednes
day afternoon about (i o’clock a crowd of
men, among whom were Jones’ companions
of the previous night, congregated around
Ills store and were joking and laughing,
when Jefferson approached the crowd. This
man lias always been the mark of sport for
the men, so last night as he came up one
called out to him: “Alfred, what did you
do with those shrimp this morning?”
This angered tho negro and lie replied
in haste to the effect that he had not touc'ii and
them. He also accompanied the remark
with an oath, at which Jones in turn became
angry and replied to him. Jefferson then
walked into the store and bought some
kerosene of Jones, after which lie was
again taken to task by Jones for cursing in
the presence of his (Jones') wife. Jefferson
then apologized to Jones for the offense, but
added that as for being a man that be could
stand up for what he had said. This did
not satisfy Jones, and several hot words
were exchanged, upon which Jefferson left
tho place and went home. In a few minutes
he returned, but before reaching the store
was called back by a man named Rage
Sneed. Meanwhile Jones, seeing Allred ap
proaching, bad hastened to the rear of his
store and procured a revolver. Stepping
behind thu door he waited for tho man to
come in. Jefferson halted for a second, a few
foot in front of tho door, but before he could
observe anything wrong, Jones stepped out
and fired point blank at His breast. The
man threw up both hands and reeled,
whereupon another shot was fired by Jones.
This one did the work, aud his victim fell
on liis side in the middle of the street,
his head half buried in the sand,
and blood oozing out of the two wounds.
One bullet had entered the right nipple, and
mu other a few inclios below the neck on
the left side. Jones fired twice more at tho
man, ami then realizing his act, broke into
a run for Commercial street. A largo crowd
was around, among which were two deputy
sheriffs, hut lie succeeded in eluding them,
and ran hastily toward tho marsh near tho
depot. Sheriff Holland was at once sent
for, and arrived a few minutes after Jeffer
son hail expired. Ho at once commenced
pursuit of Jones with all haste, but had not
captured him at lust accounts.
Tho Naval Stores Question.
Editor Morning News: You would
oblige some of your readers by inserting the
following short letter, which appeared a
day or two ago in nn Atlanta paper. They
think it would be more likt-ly to reach the
producers through your columns, and it
gives some pertinent questions and facts
which they should read. A.
Editors Constitution: Speculation and
wonder grow apace as the proposal naval
stores bill is pondered upon; speculation as
to whose is Uie hand that inserted clause 5,
wonder that anyone at all conversant with
the facts can fail to see that it nullities sec
tion 3, the gist of tlie bill.
Cannot the producers understand that to
allow the erasure of grade marks liogs the
whole question ? It is said that it may be
done with honest meaning. Admit it but
-li mis it not leave a wide door for the very
frauds tho bill aims to suppress? AVhy legis
late upon inspection at all if your legal
brands are to lie removed at will of
the buyer? The cry was: The consumer
shall get the grade ho buys und so the
general market Ihi raised. AVltut assurance
have you of that under the proposed bill?
The consumer will get the grade the buyer
chooses to give and be none the wiser—for
there will Ik- no grade mark to go by. So,
as usual, the homer will work on wide mar
gins, place contracts at low figures be
cause he docs not run a-iy of the usual
risks of traders: and having scooped the
bulk of the business, control the market ab
solutely, hammering it to cover.
Meantime where is the producer? Figur
ing ut his account sales, how much more he
will bo ill debt at the end of the year. Each
day and w ek he adds to his debit; and each
day and week the Horners’ bank account is
swelled by the money of tho producers. The
remedy is ia their own bawls. They may
not hold it again if they throw it,away now.
Older Than Represented.
Ocat.a, Fi.a., July 27, —Editor Morning
AVi rs: In tho r,'iliimn of Florida nows in.
your issue of Tuesday, July 2d, you have an
extract from the Kissimmee Leailrr, copied
from the Enterprise llrnittl, that, “six years
ago there was not a single house where the
nourishing city of Sanford now stands.” It
seems singular that so close a neighbor as
the Enterprise Herald should make so se
rious a blunder. Sanford had a very pre
sentable existence fully twelve years ago.
Your correspondent was there more than
eleven years ago, and there was then two
hotels, several stores and dwellings and
other substantial Indications of an embryo
city. The advent of railroads gave a
rapid growth to th ■ town, which soon jus
tified the name of “(late City” to this prom
ising little city. The Jh inld man’s mem
ory or his information is seriously deficient.
Ijefc him make inquiry of tho übiquitous
“oldest inhabitant’’ ami ho will find lie lias
missed his murk more tlum six years.
Peht.
A Whisky Sellar’s Opinion.
From Die Jackson Gut.) .4 r;/uv.
Our Bluekauklo correspondent knowing
that Dr. R. W. Mays was engaged iu the
sale of liquors, an extensive fanner, and
also an ex-llepri'scntntive, sought him for
an intelligent, expression of opinion on pro
hibition, believing he would give it square,
regardless of public opinion or pecuniary
benefit.
"Doctor, an' you still engaged in the sale
of liquors:”
“Y t‘B, sir, I still sell it.”
“Then you arc opposed to prohibition?”
"No, sir, I am not; I will vote for prohi
bition.”
“Why do you sell it?”
“Because it is legal to do so, and if l did
not someone would sell it near Maystown
and do probably more lmrin than l do. A
barroom is u had tiling when well managed,
audit is only by the consent of my neigh
bors that 1 sell it.”
“What do you think of the final result?”
”1 don’t think, like some, that the move
is the result of a fanatical erase, stimulated
by a morbid religious sentiment.”
"You do not think that prohibition will
soon run iLs course and die as predicted by
some?"
“No; it is simply a question of time. The
sentiment for prohibition will never 'die.
It has a solid basis. It is the sentiment of
js'ople who desire ‘peace on earth and good
will to men.’ ”
The doctor would not talk longer owing
to business engagements.
There is not a man in the town, in the
length of time he bus been there, who has
douc more for the interest of the town than
he has. He mils a largo farm in the coun
try and has bought, several thousand dol
lars’ worth of property in the town of Jack
son since Christum-'. tor which lie tin id s;sit
cash, and gave *2VI towards building the
college iu Jackson. He now enters the con
test in favor of prohibition, and muy his
untiring oil'ort* iloat tb.- bun nor to the
of a sucoimsUU co.wuuuuaLon.
