Four miles below Knoxville, last Satur day, two negroes fell out while pulling fod der. As the rest of the hands returned to work, the two men lagged behind and re newed the quarrel, when oue shot the other, inflicting a mortal wound. Some two or throe hundred hands engaged on the Buena Vista and Ellaville railroad Lave been on a small strike tor the past day or two, claiming that full wages had not been paid them for work performed. The difference has in all probability been settled by this time and work on the road resumed. At Albany the river has receded more rapidly than it rose, yet it is several feet above’the low water mark. As soon as it subsides sufficiently to show the old piling between the island and tho western hank, Mr. Phillips, the superintendent of the gov ernment luge, will remove them. This will improve the channel at this point very much, as they have obstructed its safe navi gation. It is understood there will he a vacancy aoon in the judgeship of the County Court of Spaulding county, the resignation of the present incumbent being anticipated. There arc already a number of applicants for the office, or at least the names of several mem bers of the Griffin bar are being urged upon the Governor by friends for the appoint ment.

The Eighth Georgia Regiment, one of the bravest that went from Georgia to the Con federate army, will have a reunion and celebration on Aug. 30, at Graham's Spring, near Rome. The regiment was command ed at the close of the war by Col. John R. Towers, now th" principal keeper of the penitentiary. The Eighth Regiment par ticipated in some of the bloodiest battles of the war, and won imperishable renown. It was the regiment that Beauregard saluted with the words: “Eighth Georgia! I salute you!” after a buttle in which the regiment lost heavily, but tumed the tide of battle. Gov. Gordon has lieen invited to mnke an address upon the occasion, and has consent ed to do so. Tuesday Comptroller General Wright re ceived tax digests from the three counties of Washington, Spalding and Worth. Washington returned #3,<160,142, an increase of £180,474; Spalling returned £2,715,240, an increase ot £102,734; Worth returned £2,028,<i54, an increase of £57,0711. The com bined increase reported by tho three coun ties amounted to £340,887, which makes the aggregate increase to date something over £11,000,000. All the counties have reported except five, and these ai-e shortly expected. Floyd county is among the number remain ing to be heard from, and as there is a large increase reported there, it is more than likely that tne aggregate for the year will swell £12,000,000. The south-bound freight while rounding the curve just north of Yellow Water creek, near Jackson, on Thursday night at P o’clock, while making forty miles an hour, liad four cars including the conductor’s can thrown from the track. The conductor and bis flagman were in the cab but escaped with slight bruises, although the cab tum bled down a twenty-foot embankment. Besides the cab, two coal cars loaded with pig iron, and one box oar were derailed and the track torn up for nearly half a mile. Earlv on Friday morning a large force of bands were put to work and before night the wreck was cleared away, the track re laid and the regular schedules resumed. Fast running is said to have been the cause of the trouble. It turns out that Henry Pope, the negro who was arrested, convicted and sentenced to b< hung for assaulting Miss Kendrick, of Chattooga county, is the wrung man. If Gov. Gordon had not respited him an inno cent man would have lieen hung. Judge Maddox, the presiding judge of that circuit, lias just come from Summerville, the county seat of Chattooga county. From him it is learned that a negro from Walker county, who fled to Somerssa,county, Ken tucky, has been jailed. The negro was working on the Rome and Decatur railroad near where tho deed was committed Feb. 3, the very day the heinous crime occurred. 'The negro has admitted his guilt to the nu thorities of the jail. A requisition has been forwarded and he will lie brought to trial. Two or three months ago an unknown white man was found hanging by the neck, dead, in an old liaru in Ben Smith's district, Gwinnett county. The deceased was evi dently a German from the appearance of his ieatures, and it wus reportea at the time that it was Charles Shuhardt, of Athens, who had lieen in tliat vicinity a few days before buying up cattle. But Shuhardt tumed up all right, The corpse was buried. No one ha ever been found who knew any thing of tho dead man, and neither have any inquiries been made aliout him. Re cently, however, a story Ims leaked out that this hanging was not a suicide, as was at first supposed, but that t lie di-ceased was a revenue informer, who met his death at the bands of outraged moonshiners. There is said to be at least four illicit stills near where this deed was committed. On Momlay last a negro of Amorims, prominent in the colored social circle of his neighborhood, passed peacefully away, and thut night tlie “sisterm" went over to the house of the deceased to sit up witli the corpse. About midnight, while they sutdis coursing upon the many virtues of the late lamented, the deep stillness lieing broken only by the occasional escape of an ill-suppressed sob, one of the number made a remark that in stantly aroused the dander of another, who 2 u iok Iy caught the offender by the nock and ragged her out into the yard, where she secured a fence picket and literally wore it out over the defamei' of the silent stiff. The noise of the battle and tho veils of the van quished party quick I v aroused that end of the town, and several dozen of the neighbors rushed to the scene and parted the combatants. Cases were booked against both women. FLORIDA. Brevard county has only three drinking saloons, and they are all located in Titus ville Four new buildings are going up in the western pari, of Titusville, six in the southern, aud four m the northern.

Mr. Kaufman will ship the first 50,000 in a few days. He has eighty men employed in the work. He owns considerable timber lands on the gulf and will no doubt make considerable money out of the transaction. On Monday afternoon lightning struck a pine tree standing close to the railroad track eight miles south of Osteen, under which Robert W. Rich, a colored section hand, working for the Jacksonville, Tampa and Key West railroad, Enterprise and Titus ville division, had gono for shelter from the storm, killing him instantly. The bridge, over 2,000 feet long, now lieing built across the Halifax river at Ormond, to connect the mainland with the peninsula, will have a railroad track for the running of trains over to tho beach. A horse car will use the track also to convey passengers and freight, and there will be a drive wav for team- and foot passengers. There will bs a draw to permit vessels, etc., to go through. On Sunday night some negroes who were employed clearing land in one of the suburbs of St. Augustine, wero encamped on the property so as to facilitate the work, when a difficulty occurred which resulted in a murder. Palmer Graham had borrowed 15c. from a young boy of the party and re fused to repay it. The boy [licked up a small stick and told Graham that if he did not pay the money ho would strike him with the stick This enraged Graham to such an extent that he grabbed an ax and knocked the Ixjy on the head, killing him almost in stantly. Graham immediately left for parts uiiknown. A citizen of Gainesville, who was 40 years old Hunday, celebrated his birthday by going to prayer meeting at 9 o’clock am., to church at 10:80 a. m., met with the F. & A. M. at Bp. m., attended a burial service at 4 o’clock p. m., and attended church services at Bp. m., and had sat up all night the night before. This man was reared in Florida, and does not drink or use tobacco in any form. He has not had but four days sickness in five years to prevent him from attending to his usual routine of business. Ho has never owned a pistol, and has never had need for one. lie has never had any business in the civil courts, and ha.- never contributed anything towards keeping up the city funds. Jas|ier Alman and his son, William, while hunting alligators on the St. Johns, near Osteen, Friday night, had quite a tussle with one that measured 9 feet and 7 inches in length. One of tho hunters sent a rifle ball into the saurian's head. The party, suppos ing their vietim dead, [lushed the boat along side and started to take it on board, which they only partly succeeded in doing, when Mr. Gator, who was simply stunned, came to, and, not liking such treatment, resent ingly swung his large tail around, caught the elder Alinan a blow across the shoulders, knocking him overlioard, and then escaped whilo William was help ing his father back into the boat. Finding that he was not hurt any more than a wetting, Mr. Alman concluded to wait until the alligator arose to the sur face again, which ho did in a short time, and another ball followed by a third settled him. A meeting of the directors of the South Florida Exposition was held at Orlando Wednesday. It was decided by the direc tors to hold the next exposition at Sanford during the season of 1887 and 1888.

One of Mr. Flagler’s vust enterprises at St. Augustine is the work of filling in the marshes of the Sun Sebastian, a work which is of great importance to the future welfare of the city. St. Augustine has always lieen cramped for building space on account of it being surrounded by a large area of salt marshes. These marshes have been pur chased by Mr. Flagler, who is now filling them in for building houses. In order to get the dirt for filling he bus bought a large tract of land about two miles north of tho city, adjacent to the Jacksonville and St. Augustine railroad. A track has tioen built to the pit where the earth is lieing excavated. A gang of about 125 hands is employed in excavating and filling in, and a train of eleven cars has been constantly employed since February in transporting the material. The daily ex penses ot this work alone are at least $230, mid it will take probably eighteen months I<mger to complete it. A large concrete union dejxit is to be built ou this made ground, and it is proliable tliut a largo number of neat and handsome dwellings will be erected on this tract for leasing, Palatka .Wir.v On Saturday tho post master of this city was notified tliut T. L. McCoy, the colored railway postal clerk on the Florida Southern, had been transferred to another field of labor. Yesterday the order was countermanded from Washington and tho p<>st,liaster directed to inform Mc- Coy that his resignation was accepted, and henceforth his services would lie di*|>cnxed with. McCoy says he didn’t resign, but that Washington was too far for him to kick against, therefore ho has returned to his vegetable business and his melodious voice will again lx- heard crying “cub liages, cabbages!” The matter published in various papers in reference to McCoy’s transfer is all untrue ns the above are the facts m the case. The following will give McCoy’s version of the matter, which is in sulwtance, a conversation hold yesterday be tween McCoy and u citizen of tins city: “What are you doing here, McCoy?” ”1 am out of work sir." “1 thought you wore transferred to the Jacksonville and Wil mington route?” “I was, but 1 didn't get there.” “What was the trouble? Tellmethe whole story.” “Well, when I first received my ap[xiintmont to the service, I went to the poet office and they wouldn’t let me ill. 1 went to the car and couldn’t get nbonnl, and then I wrote to Washington to know what to do ami was told to go anyhow, which 1 did, and went out in the car, hut didn't get along very well. I didn’t know enough. ” “ Wnat are you going to do now?” THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY. AUGUST 18, 1887. | “I am going to sell vegetables again, and am not going to leave Palatka." A meeting of the stockholders of the | Florida Orange Auction and Forwarding j Company was held at Jacksonville Tuesday. : At a meeting of the directors in the morn ing a code of rules and regulations, or by laws, was adopted fof the guidance of the company. They were read by the Secre tary, and, on motion of Senator Mann, unanimously adopted without discussion. It was agreed that a list should lie started for the purpose of taking subscrip tion* to stock, which was done with the following result: A. 8. Mann, 20 shares: C. L. Mitchell, 10 shares; H. A.

It will also, when it becomes necessary, establish a do[xit for cold storage, where fruit can be kept for any length of time, and it expects by this means to protect orange growers by securing better prices for their fruit. MOORE ABOUT WOOLFOLK. Evidence Going to Prove He Contem plated His Deed Many Weeks. Fom the Macon ( Ga .) Telegraph. Mr. Birch Horn, of Crawford county, was in Macon Wednesday. He relates an inci dent that, taken in relation with all tho other circumstances in the Woolfolk mas sacre, strongly points to Tom Woolfolk as the guilty man, and also that ho had been contemplating the deed for about si it weeks. Mr. Horn some time ago had bought an engine from Mr. It. F. Woolfolk, for which he jiaid all or a part in notes. The last of June Mr. Horn learned that Mr. Woolfolk regretted the trade, and wanted the engine back. Mr. Horn told his informant, who was Sir. Woolfolk’s attorney, that he was willing to annul the sale, and to pay Mr. Woolfolk rent for the 'engine. Early in July Sir. Horn got on his horse and rode over to Sir. Woolfolk’s. When a short dis tance from the house he met young Tom Woolfolk. He asked Tom if his father was, at home. Tom said his father was at home, but he could not say whether he was at the house, at the stables or out in the fields. Then Tom said: “You want to see him about those notes?” Although Mr. Horn did not know that Tom knew anything about tho notes, he ro plied: “Yes.” Tom responded: “You need not be in any hurry about paying them; you’ll have to pay them to me anyhow.” “How so?’’ said Mr. Horn. “That’s best known to myself,” was Tom’s answer. Mr. Horn thinking it was all right turned his horse and returned home. He never thought anything more about the matter until he heard of the murder of tho family, and then Tom’s remarks flashed across his mind; and instantly he saw in them reason to sus[iect Tom of the murders. A meeting of the County Commissioners was held yesterday to take stops toward se curing a portion of the Woolfolk property to defray the expenses of the prosecution of Tom Woolfolk. A levy will be made at once. Wednesday a Mr. Davis came from Haz ard’s district and reported some facts con cerning the Woolfolk tragedy that caused a sensation. His report is that Rev. Mr. Cox, a young Baptist preacher who serves jMid way church, was to have spent the Friday night with Capt. Woolfolk. On account of various delays he never reached the place till about midnight or a little later. Another young man was with him, and as they drove up a man driving a gray horse came away from Woolfolk’s and whistled as though for a preconcerted signal with some one else. The minister and his friend drove on to another place and spent the night. Had they stopped there the' tragedy might never have occurred. A man driving a gray horse was also seen, according to the report, by a 10-year-old girl, the daughter of a prominent planter, during the same evening, in tho woods in the Woolfolk neighborhood. Few people have believed there was an accomplice, but developments are awaited witli anxiety. It is said the man with the gray horse disappeared that night, and has not been seen nor heard of since. THE PRISONER MAD WITH HIS LAWYER. Fom the Atlanta (On.) Journal. Mr. Frank R. Walker, Woolfolk’s attor ney, called at the county jail this morn ing and was met with a cold reception. As soon as he saw his attorney tho prisouor ex claimed: “What do you mean by going around town tolling everybody that I am crazv? I’ve got more sense than you have right now." “Well, I believe you are crazy,” said Mr. Walker. “And I say I am not,” replied Woolfolk warmly, “and if you are going to try the insanity dodge on me, you can just let up on my case. I would rat her die and go to hell than bo sent to the insane asylum in any such style.” The lawyer changes! the subject and soon had Woolfolk talking as pleasantly as ever. Mr. Walker said to an Keening Journal reporter that lie hod given up all other busi ness and would devote all of his time to Woolfolk’s case. “1 believe the man is in nocent,” said he, “and if guilty, insane, and, therefore, ho deserves a fair and im partial trial, which is accorded to him by the constitution of this country. I will in troduce twenty reliable witnesses to prove that Woolfolk was regarded as insane long before the dreadful tragedy occurred.” On next Monday or Tuesday Mr. Walker leaves for Macon and the scene of the mur der, for the purpose of seeing certain wit nesses. whose names have been furnished him by Woolfolk. By these witnesses it is expectcd to prove that certain persons Imd nuide threats against the Woolfolk family. Mr. Walker will also secure evidence that there was hereditary Insanity in Woolfolk’s family. The prisoner was seen by an Evening Journal reporter, and he went all to pieces when the newsman remarked: “Woolfolk, your lawyer says you are a lunatic." “Yes, that’s a nice way for a lawyer to handle the case of an innocent man, said the prisoner as he stuck his hands in his breeches (xx'kcts and kicked his blankets around with his foot. “You can see for yourself that I have plenty of sense. 1 was never more saue in my life, and 1 know ex aetly what I am talking about, 1 believe I’ve got a great, deal more sense than my lawyer. But be is doing what he thinks liest., and I believe he will establish my inno cence if he will just let the crazy business alone.” Woolfolk had a copy of yesterday’s Journal in his hand, and he pointed to the picture of himself and bis cell, and asked: “Who’s your artist?” The prisoner continues healthy and con ton tod.

A KISS AND A KICKING. Why Capt. J. P Walker, U. S. A., Re tired, Has a Black Eye. Capt. John Parker Walker, a summer visitor at Tompkinsville, Staten Island, re ceived a thrashing on Saturday. The why | and the how of the chastisement are describ- I ed in the following condensation from the j New York Times: j Capt. Walker is about 45 years old, and j looks almost exactly as Gen. Tecumseh Sher | man looked at the beginning of the war. No son ever resembled his father more than he resembles the General. Like that war rior, too, he takes great delight in kissing pretty girls, but unlike the General, he does not please the pretty girls—at least in Tompkinsville. On Friday af ternoon he went into Mrs. Carr’s ice cream saloon, on Richmond turnpike. There he found little Jessie Solomon, who had called to see her bosom friend, An nie Carr, tho daughter of the proprietor. Jessie is a petite brunette, Annie is a petite blonde. On the momentous occasion in question, Annie was up-stairs dressing, and only Jessie and Mrs. Carr were in the saloon. The gallant Captain asked Jessie to accompany him into the back room, where there are some tables, and have a dish of ice-cream. She went, and Mrs. Carr brought the creams, although Jessie said she didn’t want any. Mrs. Carr then went and looked out of the front door. When Annie came down-stairs she found Jessie in tears, and Jessie told her that the Captain was a horrid old thing, there, now, and had kissed her against her will. The girls immediately left the place, and Jessie, still crying, went to a married sister and told her of the Captain’s misconduct. Now, David Solomon, Jessie’s father is an old and well-to-do resident of Tompkins ville, who proudly boasts that he is the father of nine children—all living. He is a widower, and Jessie is his housekeeper. He was indignant when lie heard her story, and, with his stalwart son William, he concerted measures for the Captain’s punishment. Their home is at Sherman avenue and the Richmond turnpike, and the Captain lives a block further up the hill. About 9 o’clock ho came gayl.y down the hill, swinging a white umbrella. The Solomons were wait ing for him. The father stopped the Cap tain as he reached their lot, and charged him with insulting Jessie. The Captain de nied it vigorously, and, some ladies coming along, lie passed on. The Solomons followed him down the street and into Mrs. Carr’s saloon. There they tackled him again, and at last the elder Mr. Solomon, becoming ex asperated beyond control, told his son to thrash him. Charles Jansen, who is Annie Carr’s “beau,” was in the saloon, and he and the two Solomons seized the Captain, and tumbled him out upon the sidewalk. Then William Solomon pitched into him, and, in spite of a vigorous resistance, succeeded ill blackoning the Captain’s right eye and knocking him down. Just as he was get ting reaily to “do him up” the bystanders interfered, and tho Captain retreated to a drug store adjacent, where ho had his wounds dressed. All auburn-haired woman, who Ims passed among the villagers for the Captain’s wife, soon came to the drug store, and tho two denaitisi together. When the people of Tompkinsville learned why young Solomon was thrashing Capt. Walker they were pained and sorry that anybody had interfered. A reporter who visited Capt, Walker’s house was invited up stairs. Capt. Walker was lying upon the tied with a wot cloth over his damaged eye, which will not re sume its normal apjxiarance for many days. This is a summary of his statement: “I was in West Point when the war broke out. I left and served in tho Union army during the war. Then I returned to West Point and was graduated in 1896. I entered the regular army, and in time became a Captain of the Third Cavalry. I was placed on the retired list in 1883. lam a member of La fayette Post, G. A. R., a member of the Ohio Society, and of the Manhattan Chess Club. lam a married man, but my wife is out West. Gen. Sherman likes to kiss the girls, but I never knew that ho was abused for it. 1 shall probably liegin legal proceed ings against the Solomons Sir their attack. It was cowardly and unwarranted.” an interesting history. Capt. John P. Walker has a very in teresting history. In 1883 Capt. Walker was an officer of the Third eavaly regiment. Early in the spring of that year he was missing from his regiment. He had not boon granted leave, and the impression, therefore, was that he had deserted. He was apprehended in a short time, and tried by court-martial for being absent from his post without leave. He refused the aid of counsel, and defended himself throughout the trial. The officers of the Judge Advo cate’s corps say that a defense in an army trial was never better conducted. Capt. Walker’s arguments were sound, and there was nothing in his actions to indicate insanity. Yet it was decided that he was insane, and he was soon established at tho Government Insane Asylum in the District of Columbia. Here the Captain S|x<nt but a few months, when he was or dered before a retiring board, and subse quently placed on the retired list on account of disabilities incurred in the line of duty. After his retirement the Captain remained in Washington for some time. He was had soine, an easy conversationalist, and alto gether possessed nearly all the attractioni calculated to win the fancy of a foolish maiden. Although married, he saw no rea son why h-‘ should not become acquainted with and visit all the young ladies who were willing to receive his attentions. He looked upon beauty with the eye of an artist, and would visit none but those who possessed it. His visiting list was large, but continually changing. The same ladies could not be seen by him more than once or twice. Tho Captain had an unfortunate failing. He was a pronounced oscillator and could not restrain the desire, to kiss the pretty girls lie visited. His list of acquaintance gradually diminished, and he left town after he was almost totally abandoned by the fair. He received no thrashing here for his festive conduct, but none who know his little pecu liarity are astonished that a Tompkinsville father and brother were called upon to chastise him. Rough on tho Girls. Fom the Bronirnod ifla,) Reporter. A boy should not hug his girl between a burning lamp and a thin window curtain. The shadow on tho curtain is very amusing to passers by; in fact, too good for a free show. The best place for a boy to do his hugging Is in the dark, and a girl should do hers in the presence of her pa rents, and she won’t likely embrace a sor[lent. Virtue is standing on dangerous ground when a girl swaps slobber with a boy for mere asking. This is rather home spun language, but it is as true .as if penned by one of the inspired writers, and not by a witness of the above described scene. The boy that was soon in tho above act may smile. Iml the girl is going to do some ma ture thinking, and she ought, too. Postal Changes.

A Manufacturer Reveals Some of His Own and Other People’s Secrets. From the New York Mail. ‘‘The demand for ginger ale,” saida manu facturer of that beverage recently, “rapidly increases. About twenty years ago, when I started in the business, there were only thirty other manufacturers. Now I simply make the extract for others to put into portable form, and these others have grown from thirty to more than five hundred. Most of the manufacturers use the same method. They mix the extract with fine syrup, dilute the water until an ordinary bottle contains about fifteen drops of ginger, and then put this into bottles with a car bonic acid machine. Two qualities are made, one for private use and for first-class hotels and saloons, and one for the regular barroom trade. The difference is almost en tirely in the quality of the extract used. The best quality sells at *1 or SI 20 a case of twenty-foui- bottles. The cheaper kind costs only do cents to 75 cents a case. “Three-fourths of the so-called imported article is manufactured here. The bottles belonging to the favorite brands are kept and sent to us to be refilled. We leave the labels intact, or if they are damaged, paste on fac-similes, and put in new corks and metal capsules or tags. There is not one person in a thousand who can detect the fraud. In one first-class hotel in this city I have been refilling bottles for seven years, and supposes I shall continue to do so as long as I am in the business.” “Is there any bad ginger ale in the mar ket 1" “Yes, there are two bad kinds, and both are so bad that the Board of Health should stop the manufacture of them. They are made in large quantities in this city and sold chief!)' in beer and ice cream saloons. One is made from cheap ginger and is doc tored with red pepper and chemicals to give it body and bite. The men who make it say that red pepper is good for the stomach, but they carefully say nothing about the chemicals. The other and worse kind is a German production. Instead of making it of pure fjinger they buy up wherever they can spoiled and condemned ginger root. Some of them make their essence from this and strengthen it with cayenne pepper. Others grind it up and brew a vile beer from it, and then flavor it with red popper. You can easily detect this by letting it stand a little. A thick sediment forms at the bottom and it soon turns sour. Its cheapness, however, recommends it to un scrupulous saloon keepers. It never costs more than .50c. a case and often as low as 38c.” CUTICUKA REMEDIES. SKIN S SCALP Cleansed, Purified and Beauti fied by the Cuticura Remedies.
