The court, house yard in Madison was sold to the highest bidder, a lew days ago, for #5 50. J. W. Turnipseed’s gin house, two miles from Griffin, was burned by incendiaries a night or two ago. The loss is $1,200 1. O. McDaniel, father of the ex-Gover nor, died at Altoona Monday, and was buried at Atlanta yesterday. He was 80 years of age. A turpentine firm has purchased about ■6,000 acre- of timber on the line of the pro spective railroad, near Excelsior, and will erect a large still. F. M. Huokaba, of Lowell district, Car roll county, says he is now about GO years of age. and never bought a store pair of pants, hat, boots or shoes. Ho has them all made at home. The Atlanta Starch Company is the name of the new firm that have the only starch factory in the South. This new stock com pan.y will be the successor to the Magnolia Starch Company. The Ordinary of Washington county has entered into possession of the armory build ing, at Sandersville, under the provisions of the deed made to Howell’s battery, 'by which the property reverted to the county six months after the disorganization of said company. A certain element of the colored Raptist church at Sandersville have seceded from the congregation over which Rev. Daniel Palmer has charge, and have erected a tem porary shelter east of the Augusta, Gibson and Sandersville railroad, in which divine services are held. Oglethorpe Echo: Next. Wednesday is the first anniversary of the great earthquake that did so much damage in Charleston and Augusta, and ever since we have been on the alert for shakos Sunday night last a very distinct ja. was felt by numbers in this vicinity, sufficiently strong to rattle window panes and crockery. Palilonega Signal: A good many people are accustomed to use peach tree bark tea when sick. So we will give them something new—at least to us—which several good cit izens have vouched for as the truth: When tea is made from bark that is skinned off upward, the tea acts as an emetic; when skinned downward, it acts as a cathartic. Governor Gordon, Saturday, issued an ol der on the Treasurer for the payment of S2O each to four negro men from Wilcox county and Alonzo Guyton, also a negro and Marshal of Darien, for the arrest anil de livery to the Sheriff of Wilcox county of Emmett Terrell, of that county. He is quite a young boy, but last year killed a mtn there and ran away. They recognized the boy in Wilcox county and reported him to Guyton, the Marshal, who arrested him. For some days past the police of Atlanta have been working up a case of a peculiar nature. Two white women left a baby with a negro woman and mysteriously disap peared. The baby was at first supposed to be white, but was found afterward to be a mulatto. Susie Dunning, the white mother of the baby, was arraigned in a Justice ■court Monday, but was discharged upon a statement that she was willing to take care T>f the child and prove that she is worth $25,000. She is 17 years old. The Prohibition election in Meriwether county Monday resulted in an overwhelm ing victory for the antis, whose majority is estimated at over 500. At Greenville 1,085 votes were cast up to about 4 o’clock, of which 700 were thought to be wet. Wood bury gave live majority wet. Warm Springs, eleven majority wet. Two other districts, sixty and fortv-two majorities wet. But two districts known to be strong ly Prohibitionist had not been heard from by the correspondent. Every wet vote was challenged, and there is much talk of a contest. Monday Comptroller General Wright re ceived the tax digest containing the returns of taxable property for the year 1887 of Appling county, 'the amount returned is $1,042,862, an increase over 1880 of $09,812. 'This leaves only two counties to lie heard from, Monroe and Pulaski. The increase in the value of taxable property in the State will approximate an amount, between $12,000,000 and $13,000,000. Next year this increase will be considerably larger, as there will bo quite a number of factories and other entarp: ises that have lieen free from taxation subject to the usual rate. Postmaster Hardeman, of Macon, re ceived notificat ion from the Post Office De riiuent at Washington Monday that W. Lane, Postmaster at, Alice, in Pulaski county, was short hi his accounts to the amount of $399. and that the bondsmen, S. B. Perkins ana William H. Wylly. were called upon to make good the deficit. When Col. Wylly was informed of the notifica tion, he says he does not remember ever having signed any such bond. He lias been a citizen of Macon since 1882, aud has only visited Cochran twice since. Alice is about six miles from Cochran. It is evident that some other William H. Wylly is the bonds man. Monday afternoon a marriage catne off in Athens which created considerable interest. William B. Burpee, a carriage niuker of that city, and a member of the firm of Bur pee Brothers, was married to Miss Laura Gordon, at the residence of the groom, Rev. C. S. Owens, pastor of the Oconee Street Methodist church, officiating. Miss I .aura Gordon arrived in Athens last May as a member of the Salvation Army, holding the commission of Lieutenant, and since thut time has been active in the work of that corps. She came from Augusta, and besides being a comely and attractive young lady of 20, led many of the services, and was known as a zealous exhorter and a good singer. At Jacksonville Monday Ed Fletcher (colored) and another colored man, Abner Wilcox, were at the residence of Uncle Frank Fletcher. They were playing with a Smith & Wesson No. 32 pistol, in the bonds of Ed, when the pistol was accident ally discharged, tho ball passing through t,he forefinger of Abner, and entering the left breast of Ed, about 1% inches to the left and above tho nipple, passing through the heart and causing death almost in stantly. It seems that Abner playfully went to take some papers or letter*" from the outer left breast pocket of Ed’s coat, wheu Ed throw up his hand to prevent it, aud the pistol being iu that band was dis charged. At Chauncev the accident that occurred Friday morning by the curly passenger train running into a stock car on the main line ha* developed into something of n much more serious nature than was at first sup posed. The engineer stabs! that when in sight of the mill he saw two lights sud denly extinguished, and upon further in vestigation it was discovered that the switch was locked ou the main line, and that the stock car had bcrti transferred from the siding to the main line, with no little trouble, by means of a pinch-bar and pioces of timlier, all of which shows that it was the malicious intention of some heinous beings not worthy tho name of men, to wreck the train. There was a secret anti-Prohibitionist meeting at. the Kimball House at Atlanta Monday, at which it is reported leading antis and liquor men were present, and let ters were read from liquor men elsewhere pledging sympathy and support to the movement, and urging tho Atlanta antis to organize at once ami get ready for another election. It is further rumored that about 9100,000 was subscribed for caiiqiaign pur pose*. It is also reported that large sums will bn sent from outaido sources, and also that the new paper, the Atlanta IVorUi, 1 which will start Sept. 15, will bo the anti prohibition organ. Extensive preparations are being made, and it is said that the pro hibition campaign will be more exciting than the first. The election will probably be held Nov. 36. A committee of the Ladies’ Memorial As sociation and a committee of the Confeder ate Veterans’ Association came together at Atlanta Monday for a conference. They met for the purpose of devising means for the relief of indigent Confederate soldier*. 8. M. Inman said: “I have in view a plan by which I think a permanent home can be established. In n short while the present cnpitol will be unoccupied and on the ,State's hand. The State owns this. Now, my idea is that this should be sold and tile proceeds used for the purpose of erecting a homo for disabled Confederate soldiers. [Applause.] .Surely the State would not re fuse to do this. If the matter is brought properly before the Legislature I am con vinced this could bo accomplished, provided there is nothing in the constitution in the way of it. I think a committee should be appointed by the Veterans’ association to inquire into the practicability of the enter prise.’’ The meeting resolved to take steps to secure the consummation of the proposi tion. Lnt Saturday evening a strange dog, whose queer antics astonished several spec tators, passed through Lincolntoli. Ho trotted listlessly along, then suddenly stop ped aiid attempted the astonishing gastro nomical feat of eating a brickbat. One of the boys throw a rock at him, knocking him over, but did not succeed in demolishing his dofeship. Disgusted with the brick the dog shook the dust of his feet and re sumed his Journey. The village dogs greeted him in a friendly manner, but ho returned the salutation by seizing a small lice by the nays, of the neck and biting him severely. Loosing his hold on the lice, ho put out at a shambling gait up the Wash ington road. Nothing more was heard from him till 11. House came down Sunday morn ing bringing his little daughter whom the dog violently attacked. The virtue of the mad-stone owned by Dr. Ferguson was sought, but on Monday Mr. House carried her to Mrs. Gibson, in Columbia county. The dog has not boon killed. Members of the police department and detectives are now engaged trying to solve what appears to be the most mysterious dis appearance ever known in Atlanta. The missing man is C. C. Grosse, a well-known tailor. Mr. Grosse lived on Crew stroot. He is a man of family, and with his wife and daughter was at home Friday. That night, just as he was in the act of retiring, two men came to the door and called him out. The men were strangers to all who saw them, aud between the two Mr. Gross walked down the street a block. Under a gas light the three stopped, and a neighbor of Mr. Grosso’s, who saw them talking, now remembers that all three gesticulated wildly and ap peared to be excited. The trio remained under the lamp a few minutes, and then the two strangers walked awav, while Mr. Grosse returned to his house. In a few sec onds he came out of his house fully dressed for the streets, and hurried away, leaving his wife and daughter at homo. Since then no one who can be found has st>eii him. On Saturday morning persons liv ing near the Grossp home noticed that the house was all closed up. All during the day it remained closed, and Sunday contin ued in the same way During the day some of Mr. Grasse’s friends called to see him, and finding the house closed, began mak ing inquiries, which resulted in disclosing what has been recounted. Soon tho news spread, and in a short time J. A. Au derson, the clothier for whom Mr. Grosse worked, called and increased the mystery by stating that the tailor had not been seen at the store after Friday night. Relatives directed officers to open the house. Things inside indicated a hurried packing. Trunks and wearing apparel were gono and nothing elso. The birds were in the house and so was a small dog. The detective traced Mr. Grosse, his wife and daughter to the Union Depot. and there lost all clue to them. The friends and relations of the family cannot account for the hurried departure. FLORIDA. Towles & Ilendry are starting a lumber yard at Fort Myers. Mrs. Carr’s now residence on Bay street, St. Augustine, is nearing completion. The Alcaza, at St. Augustine, when com pleted, will be kept open ail the year. It is reported that a heat hen Chinee will shortly establish a laundry at Daytona. The crop of Peen-to peaches at Alta monte promises to be particularly heavy and of an excellent quality. The orange crop at Cotton Plant, Marion county, will average this coming winter about two-thirds of a full crop. ’ The County Commissioners of DeSoto county have made a demand for the court papers, etc., on Manatee county. Mr. Holmes states that some Chicago magnate lias donated a lurge supply of fur niture for the Congregational college at Chuluota. j | A. A. Arnold and F. F. Palmquist, two mechanics of Jacksonville, have perfected what they term a ear window screen ami spark arrester. Of the lurge number of fireplaces in tho Pence de Leon Hotel, at. St. Augustine, there are no two alike. Workmen are now engaged in putting up the mantels, tiled work, etc. A meeting of all cattle owners of De- Soto county will bo held at Arcadia on Thursday, Sept. 15, to select recording officers and discuss matters of great impor tance to cattle men. Hardy Johnson and Babe Williams, of Arcadia, returned from a ten days' alliga tor hunt Saturday night. The brought in 217 alligator skins, besides killing several deer and smaller game. Tho steam ferryboat at Daytona was not passed by the Government Inspector on his late visit. It appears that the boiler plates lieforo being riveted together should have been tested ami stamped. Capt. F. A. Hendry has returned to Fort Myers from the upper river country. He reports that the surveying party were fullv satisfied that they would find 15 feet fall from I m ko Okeechobee southward. The Board of County Commissioners of DeSoto are hard at work this week getting things in shape. They will probably re district the county, call tile election on tho liquor question and the permanent location of the county site. The railivav company offers to build a bridge for SIO,<XXI across the Halifax river at Daytona and extend trade to the ocean. The bridge, liko that at Ormond, is to be available for street cars and wagons. It will probably bo built this winter. It is rumored that work will soon lie com menced on the building of Iziwivnce Thomp son, at Daytona. On the ground fl<x>r will Ik* three stores, the south one probably a drugstore. The upper stories will be de voted to offices and a large hull. I ii tho Leesburg city election Monday the following officers were el*oted for the ensuing year: Mayor, E. H. Mote; Alder men, W. F. Humphreys, R. P. Burton ami F. S. Maude; Assesor, T. J- Ivy; Clerk, P. W. Butler; Marshal, w. G. Engleman. (Ifflcers were out over the line of tho Alu bama, Florida and Atlantic road searching last week lor two negroes. (HN WM Wanted for some murder committed in Volusia county. The search proved unsuccessful, us Ixith negroes had feuml it convenient to seek safer scenes. Cedar K‘>vs is happy over throe matters which, it is thought, will cause the place to boom in a livelv fashion. The causes for Its rejoicing are: th* building of the Branford railroad; th*< advent of tho Morgan Steam ship Line; ami the erection of a 10-ton cold storage warehouse. The new stores at Bonifay report fuvora blv on the business outlook ami look for ward with much confidence to the fall trade, which in that section has been yearly increasing. More trade ami business devel opment has taken place at Bonifay this summer than there was all last winter. THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 31, 1887. F. Fernley was arrested at Gainesville Fa urdiy at the instance of 8. T. Dunn, of Ocala, on a charge of obtaining money un der false pretenses. He was taken to Ocala for examination. The supposed crimo was committed last spring. Fernley was ab sent till last week. His wife and daughter are very ill. Crops of all kinds throughout the Boni fay section look well, notwithstanding tho unfavorable weather in the early ]>art of the season. The plantations on the river, however, have all suffered more or less from high floods. The Bonifay district, standing high, has suffered comparatively little corn and rice especially look well. Recently J. O. Fries, of Orlando, while out surveying, became overheated and for a time was out of bis head. During his deli rium he imagined that there was a great railroad accident, in which 5,000 Republi cans and 500 Democrats were killed. He expressed himself as being perfectly recon ciled to a loss of 500 Democrats where the Republicans lost 5,000. A severe thunderstorm passed over Gainesville Sunday night,. Lightning struck tho residence of J. Perdue, North Gainesville, demolishing the chimney, and smashing things generally. Two children were knocked down, and the rest of the family was stunned. A shock also entered a stable and stunned a horse. A small house in the city, occupied by a colored carter, was struck. He was paralyzed and hischil dren were shocked. Mr. Emmerson returned to Arcadia Thurs day after an unsuccessful search for his lost brother. Ho received information a few days ago that a party answering to the de scription of Alonzo had been seen near Bar tow. Mr. Emmerson went to Bartow, where he secured a team and took the route supposed to have been taken by the lost man. He interviewed several people with whom this man had stopped, and felt satis fied that he was on the w r rong trail. Mrs. Fearand, who is visiting her father, Capt. Cordero, at Ocala, had an experience with a negro burglar. Early Sunday morn ing she awoke to find him bending over her form, when she made a clutch for his throat, caught tho band of his shirt collar and held on with such tenacity that in the burglar’s attempts to release himself from his captress he severely sprained her fingers. Her cails brought Capt. Cordero on the scone, but the would-be robber had made good his escape. T. T. Eyre, of Fort Myers, is marketing his guava crop at 32 per bushel, and re grets that he did not set out last year 5,000 trees instead of 500, os he is confident he could find buyers for any quantity of fruit. He has one tree of sour guavas that takes precedence for jelly, and he is taking pains to reproduce it from the seed, having planted several thousand. The only ex pense he incurred was to go around and dig up the young guavas wherever he could find them and set them out. They grow everywhere down there—in the fence cor ners, on the streetside, in the woods, alleys and byways. The mysterious disappearance of William H. Hunter, of Arcadia, is causing his rela tives considerable uneasiness. Mr. Hunter left Arcadia on Aug. 8 with the intention of going to Liverpool, Manatee county, where he had an engagement \yith James Walker, his brother-in-law, on the following Satur day. Mr. Walker was at Liverpool at the appointed time, but failed either to moot or learn anything as to Hunter’s whereabouts. He made many inquiries concerning Hunter, who is well known in that part of the coun try, but received the same answer- ho had not lie ui in that locality. Hunter is an old sailor, and at one time run a boat on Char lotte Harbor. He may either lie on the bay or else a victim of foul play. A meeting of citizens, presided over by Mr. Holmes, was held in tho store of the B->nifay Manufacturing Company last Wednesday evening. The object of the meeting was to take concerted action in con nection with the proposed change in the lo cation of tho county seat. The unanimous opinion was that Bonifay, in view of its pro gressive growth and situation, has advan tages specially commending itself to all, over any of the other towns of Holmes county. The County Commissioners have called an election in accordance with th prayer of a petition that was presented for that purpoce. The Bonifay Land Company in the event of the county seat being located at Bonifay, has agreed to build a suitable court house and to furnish a fire-proof safe all free of cost. The Crescent City (Fla.) correspondent of the News, under date of Aug. 27, writes as follows: “Our citizens held another rail road meeting to-day. The committee ap pointed to confer with the officials of the Jacksonville, Tampa and Key West rail road made a report that the manager, Gen. Bentley, had been approached on the subject mid bad promised to have the proposed route surveyed, provided the people of Cres cent City would agree to pay half the ex ]iense. The mooting voted to have the sur vey made in order to ascertain tho cost of constructing the road. Hon. L. L. New some, Henry Hutchinson and ex-Mayor G. T. Sprague were elected to make an exam ination and determine where to locate the route. It is quite evident that the people here are determined to have a railroad pro vided the expense is not too heavy. It is thought that S2O,(XX) will grade and tie the road. Of this amount probably SO,OOO or $7,000 can be raised by private donations.” A War Paper. From the Greensboro ( Ga .) Herald. We were handed the other day' by Mr. Z. Daniels, of Augusta, an interesting relic in the way of a copy of the Augusta Chroni cle of (let. 27, IHtW. The jiaper contained only two pages, mostly war news, and had grown yellow and brittle with age. Glan cing over the columns, we saw accounts of heavy skirmishing at Jackson, Miss., in which the Federal* under McPherson weie repulsed with great losses. An account is also given of a review of the troops at En terprise, Miss., by President Davis. The paper publishes a dispatch stating that Grant had been placed in command of the army in Ohio, Cumberland and Kentucky, with plenary powers, and would nssum sthe direction of affairs. Among the headlines arc the following: “Roseorauz Superseded. Grant to Command Federal Army. Re ported Seizure of Confederate Rains.” Tho copy of the paper lieforo us is both valuable ami interesting. In the editorials we notice an article advising strict economy as the only menus by which the South could hope to gain her independence, and calling upon the ladies to eschew fashion and the gentle men expensive habits. “Let all practice self-denial at, home thut they may have the more to give our gallant defenders. Even now there is much suffering among them.” How well did the jieople respond, only the old South knows. A Nest of Rattlesnakes. From the Aurrusta (Git.) Chronicle. A Carolina farmer by the name of Ivin came to town yesterday with one of his pockets literally filled with rattlesnake rattles. A count actually reveulcd 105 of the dauger otis ornaments. He stated that they were tho trophies of one massacre which had occurred on las plantation the day lief ore. While seated oil a log in a forest near his h ime h" heard a rustling noise in the leaves near him; and, looking down, saw n monster rattler making bis way to n thick clump of bushes near by, which seemed to be alive with unimnl motion. Having bis gun at hand he raised it and fired at the reptile. After writhing a few moments it expired. The ground, however, around the clump of bushes immediately became the scene of a deafening chorus of buzzing sounds. Turning his eyes in the direction, his blood was almost frozen in his vain* as In- beheld nine enormous rattlesnakes with their tails in the air and their bodies colled In an attitude of battle. Throwing bis gun to his shoulder, he fired time after | t ime into the writhing mass until the noise , cca*l. H then made nn investigation, | and found that he had killed ten of tho biggest rattlesnakes ever seen in Carolina. Mr. Ivin prizes the rattles very highly, and says lie intends to keeip them a a voucher for the truUiiuliiess of hi* snake story. FORTNER REINSTATED. The Honorable Gentlemen from John son Still Holds tho Fort. From the Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution. The good people of Johnson county will probably be startled to learn that they clinic very near losing the services of their able representative, Hon. E. 8. Fortner, last Saturday. The tale is a touching one. Saturday is usually a quiet day in the House of Representatives, the greater por tion of the time being devoted to routine work. Last, Saturday was no exception to the rule, and the result was that the attend ance was light. In the eoursejof the morning a call of the House became " necessary. Shortly before the call Col. Fortner had left the capital and, fatigued by his arduous duties as a legislator, had gone to his room for a “nap.” While in the midst of his dreams he was awakened by a loud knock on his door. “Who’s there?” “It’s us,” answered the familiar voice of a well-known legislator, more forcibly than grammatically. “Let us in right away.” The door was opened and Col. Fortner was found sitting on the side of his bed, rub bing his eyes assiduously. “’s matter?” he asked. “Groat heavens, man, don’t you know there’s been a call of the House?” “What of it?” “Why, don’t you know' the penalty? You weren’t there, and the result is you lose your seat.” “What’s that?” shouted the bewildered legislator, jumping several feet toward the celling in liis excitement. The statement was repeated. The poor fellow was completely paralyzed. “What can I do?” he asked his supposed friends. “That’ll ruin me.” “Well, there is only one way that I can think of,” said one, scratching his head. “That is to get an order from tho Governor for your return. That’ll fix it.” Col. Fortner took the shortest cut to the Executive Mansion, and almost breathless from his exertion, stated his business. With rare self-control the Governor suc ceeded in keeping his face straight while he gently told his visitor that he was the victim of a hoax. Fortner couldn’t believe it. He talked long aud earnestly with the Governor and would not leave without the order. Finally the Governor yielded, and wrote an order to the officers of the House asking that the gentleman from Johnson be reinstated, and he went away happy. MEDICAL. MALARIA. “If people could only know what a splen did medicine Simmons Liver Regulator is, there would be many a physician without a patient, and many an interminable doctor bill saved. I consider it infallible in mala rial infection. I had for many years been a perfect physical wreck from a combina tion of complaints, all the outgrowth cf malaria in my system, and even under the skillful hand of Dr. J. P. Jones, of this city, I had despaired of ever being a well woman again. Simmons Liver Regulator was rec ommended to me. I tried it; it helped me, and it is the only thing that ever did me any good. I persevered in its use, and am now in perfect health. I know the medicine cured me, and I always keep it as a reliable ‘standby’ in my family.” Respectfully, Mrs. Mary Ray, Camden, Ala.
