It appeared that, the Mayor and Council dis claimed jurisdiction, and that they had passed no ordinance empowering them to punish violators of the law.

Bo fore it could be stopped the saw struck his arm and cut the large bone, between the el bow and wrist, in two, mangling the flesh badly. He is a young man of good nerve, and as he got up he grasped his arm with his hand below tho wound, and Mr. McMil liau took hold above to prevent his bleeding to death.

At l.awrencoville last Sunday Field Cold well (colored), who had attended a meeting of the colored psjples church, and at the close of tho sermon mourners were invited to tho altar. Among those who responded to the invitation was Field. Ho approached the altar, and knelt down with others. The usual prayer was said, and when the other mourners rose Field continued kneeling. Some of the older members gathered around him to exhort, when it was ascertained that he had been stricken down and was unable to move. He was taken out of the house and laid in the shade, and efforts were made to restore him to consciousness, but without success. He was then carried to John Drummond's and lay in a stupor all day. Dr. Mitchell was eallod in, but found that he could do nothing. He thinks it was congestion of the brain, and not paralysis. He lingered on without speaking until AVeduesday night, when he died. Homo time ago Judge James 8. Hook, of Augusta, had an interview with Gov. Gor don in regard to the executive order some time ago issued, prohibiting Bondurant & Joplin from having any further manage ment or oontrol over tho convicts on trie Augusta and Chattanooga railroad. It was rumored that Judge Hook was before the Governor in the interest of Bondurant, who desired to ol >tain a modification of tho order, so that tho sting and unpleasantness result ing from such an order might bo in a measure removed. The Governor gave a careful attention to tho attorney of Bondu rant, and agreed to lay the matter before the principal keeper and physician of the penitentiary, upon whose reports tho order was originally based. Thursday the two officials tiled with the Governor their opin ions in the matter. What recommenda tions they made are not known, nor is it known what action tho Governor will take. It will be several days before the matter will be given to the public. Jimmy Boon, the 14-year-old son of B. F. Boon, of Hawkinsville, went out into the woods with his gun to hunt squirrels on Monday morning. The little fellow soon found a squirrel in a tree, and began walk ing backward to got a good shot. He was so excited that he never looked behind him, and he walked backward into a well GO feet deep. There were some brush and pieces of wood in the well, and the little fellow kept above the water, while his gun went to the bottom. Ho shouted until his voice was nearly gone. Fortunately a man and his little son passing that way heard the voice of someone, and after looking around for awliile they found the well and saw the little boy bravely holding to the pieces of wood. Store help was soon obtained, and a rope was let down and Jimmy tied himself around the waißt. He was drawn up about half way, when the rope slipped and ho fell back to the bottom, bruising himself and spraining his ankles. He again fastened the rope around lus body, ami this time he was brought safely above the earth. James Terrell, the skeleton, whose life was prolonged by the use of dynamite, was buried in tho pauper’s ground at Atlanta Thursday. Terrell’s treatment is attract ing considerable attention. Several months ago he came to Atlanta from North Geor gia for treatment. He was suffering with cancer of the stomach and secured admis sion to the Ivy Street Hospital. Tho dis ease had long been working upon him, and tho physicians at the hospital found it itn jxissible to do anything for him. Ho con tinued to grow worse, and a few weeks ago was transferred to the benevolent home. Dr. Van Goidtsnovan, the city phy sician, assumed charge of the case and soon became convinced that the man could not live. Several days ago Terrell’s system refused all food, and he was staring starvation in the face with plenty of food about him. Dr. A 7 an Goidtsnovan then decided to prolong the man’s life by using dynamite. The explosive was handled in very small pellets, and one of these was dis solved in water, and every three hours a drop or two of the solution was placed upon the man’s tongue. The effect of the dyna mite was apparent instantly. The man’s eyes and face appeared to take on new life, and until the influence was diminished his breathing was good. Terrell was once a stout, heavy man, but at tho time of his death he was nothing but skin and bones. At Oliver, Ga., a negro by the name of Grady, from South Carolina, has for some time lieen employed by a highly respected negro, Jim Thompson’ andTiothing wrong was suspected of him until ho was caught trying to decoy another negro's wife to elope with nim. Tilts was settled, and nothing more was suspected of the gent in bla <k t ill a few nights ago, when some ono walked up to old Jim’s house and asked for a drink of eool water from the well. Uncle Jiin is very kind and polite, and started to satiate the thirst of the caller. During the conver sation at the well Grady started out to join the party, when suddenly another man rose up, with presented pistol, ami told Grady that “he was a prisoner.” Grady turned to run into the house, anil the unknown party fired at him. Grady dashed through the bouse, out of the? back door, ami as he made sand fly tho party fired again. Next day Grady made nis appearance, vet, under difficulties, as he had lieen shot. Und# Jim suspected parties of doing the work, and had them arrested. War rants on both side* were issued, and at the trial before tho juxtitx?, Grady was bound over till tho next day, uncle Jim standing the bond; but when the sun rose the wounded negro had gone, A few hours later a party of armed men from South Carolina roue up und asked for Grady, stat ing that "he had outrageously attempted a erimo upon a white lady of Carolina.” Nothing has been heard of Grady since he groaned under the roof of frieudly, yet un fortunate uncle Jim.

The arrival of several schooners at Key AVest Tuesday morning brought the news that the British steamship Intrepid, bound from Marlborough, Bag., to New Orleans, loaded with railroad iron, had ran ashore on Ixmg Key on the morning of Aug. 11. Assistance was rendered her by six schoon ers. After throwing over about 700 bars of iron they managed to float her. For the assistance given by the wreckers the Cap tain offered $7,000. This sum being consid ered too small, it was mutually' agreed that two of the wreckers should go with the steamer to New Orleans, where the matter would beladjusted. Capt. Ben Haunders, of the Pelican, and Tom Sweeting were selected to go on. Fleming Howard, colored, was standing near the boarding cars that were sidetracked at Chipley last (Sunday when the foreman of the gang, J. B. Hilbert by name, came along and in a joking way proposed to “board"’ him. To tuis Howard objected, saying that he didn’t feel like playing, but Holbert continued in his attempt to whip Howard, calling on several of the hands to help him Howard picked up an axe and tola them to let him alone as he did not want to play. Holbert then picked up a stick and attempted to strike Howard, who dropped the ax. Ilolbert called for his pis tol,'which was handed to him from the car, and with it in his hand chased Howard, shooting at him four or five times. Holbert was arrested. Railroad circles at Leesburg were consid erably astonished last Friday by a feat per formed by conductor W. F. Morrow, who brought down tho Florida Railway and Navigation night express, which arrives here at sa. m. As bis train approached Eldorado, on Lake Harris, three miles out, the track spread and thirteen pairs of trucks, including those under the tender, were de railed. He telegraphed to headquarters that he would get his train on and away in two hours, whereat there was a grand laugh at his expense all the way from Eldorado to Fernandlna. Within an hour, however, he fot his train on the track and rushed into nvares with flying colors, so to speak, and a prolonged whistle of triumph, while all the rest of the railroad fellows wondered vvlmt the dickens they had been laughing about. At Key West, Sunday night, some un known parties tried to set fire to the grocery store of Miguel Encinozn that is located on the corner of Simonton and Virginia streets, in Gatoville. To carry out their scheme they saturated with kerosene oil the front door aud poured the same liquid under the doors. They wore just about setting a match to it whep someone passed, and they being frightened ran away. A few days ago the Equator denounced several at tempts to fire some buildings belonging to E. H, Onto, situated near the old street car station. The next day a house, adjoining a gambling den, on Simonton street, near ■ato’s factory, was also discovered to lie on fire, but tho names were extinguished by Mr. Gatos watchman. Monday, another alarm of fire was sounded. The fire proved to be in the street car stables, in the hay loft, and had it not been for the early dis covery the stables would probably have been burned, with a large number of mules. Hay was found to be saturated with kero sene. There is troublo in Ellinger’s cigar factory at Key West. The trouble commenced by the American girls claiming that a Cuban cigar maker had used abusive language to ward them, and they refused to work un less or explanation was made. This report was carried up-stairs to the American cigar makers by Albert Thomp son, foreman of the pickers’ room, as he first came up, and was joined by Charlie Johnson, foreman of the cigar makers. Thompson told them about what the girls claimed, and said it was so. He tola tho American cigar makers that they should strike, aud he would join them. That lie would lock up the doors of the pickers’ room and give the key up, and that he would stick by thorn, further claim ing that he could get American girls for pickers instead of men. (He had a knife in his waistband, and when asked what he was going to do with it, he said he wanted to kill a Cuban.) The American boys agreed to do ns Thoiniison advised, and they went out on a strike; the Cubans followed. It was then that a committee of six were ap pointed to adjust the difference—three Americans and throe Cubans. Albert Thomp son was one of the Americans selected. The committee agreed that the Cuban who hail used the insulting language should he dis charged. This was acceptable to the Ameri cium, but the Cubans would not agree, so it ended in tho Americans solely going to work, and all the Cubans remaining out. Thus things wept on smoothly until Wednes day ol tlxis week, when Alriert Thonqisoii and Charles Johnson, foremen of the re sjieetive rooms, had a pei-sonal .trouble. This ended in Thompson refusing to give any more oigai's to tho American girls to pick, hence sixty men have I wen thrown out of employment, lie sides the girls who are working in the factory. Mr. Valdez refuses to dis charge either of the foremen, us they were left here by Mr. Ellinger when he went to New York. The liny-- feel very much an noyed that Albert Thompson, who was ringleader of the strike, should now lie upheld, while they are to tie the sufferers. It is thought hv them that it is simply a plot to get the Cuban force on again, and that Thompson understands it and is help ing the thing along. The Engadino Bouquet, Atkinson’s new perfume.
