The statement that ex-whipping boss, C. C.

He is in the employ of tho Geor gia Midland railroad. The eldest sen, a young man just grown Into manhood, of the Rev. G. F. Taylor, a Baptist minister of Mitchell county, was knocked off a wagon loaded with cotton, on last Saturday, ana, it is feared, seriously, if not fatally, hurt by the falling of a pine limb across his body.

It is thought that up to Sept. 1 there would have been picked out and sold from 1,500 to 2,000 bales. It is rapid work for the month of August. Every farmer who visits Jackson brings discouraging reports of the cotton crop. The wet weather some weeks ago cut the crop almost one-half, and now al most the entire top crop is being destroyed by the boll worm. The prospect is exceed ingly discouraging, and from present indi cations not over a half crop will be made.

John Westbrook, n would-be knight of the road, attempted to rob two sons of L. N. Johnson, in the Twenty-eighth district of Sumter county Saturday night. He saw the boys in a wagon and seizing a fence rail halted them and demanded their money. He was told that they had no money, when he said: “Well, den, pass on. If you had money, you’d had to gin it up or get yer necks broke. ’ He was com mitted by T. L. Murray and sent to jail in Americus. He now claims that he was “joking do young men.” J. H. Story, one of the most industrious and consequently successful fanners of Worth county, had a ootton picking con test on his place one day last week with good results as follows: Story’s 15-year-old boy, All pounds; Story’s 18-year-old girl, 311 pounds; Stephens (man), 31k} pounds; Tom Reynolds (man), Hod jounds; Story’s 10- year-old girl, 186 pounds; Story’s 0-year-old girl, ISO pounds. Mr. Stephens, who is one of the best cotton pickers in tho county, did not begin the race until after dinner, but bad picked leisurely all the morning. A few evenings ago two gentlemen were walking down the railroad at a station lie low Americus, one of them to take the train. They heard a pistol shot and a ball whistle by, then another ball. One of the men drew a pistol, saying: “If that’s your game I'm In.” and saw a man running up to them. As soon as tho party was near enough to recogniz" the gentlemen he begun to apolo- K, saying he thought they were tramps poring with the rails of the road. It was a close shave for both sides, for if the Other man had fired, one or the other would have been hurt before they could have Recognized each other. Conductor Welsh'* train was in bad luck Fl Its last trip. On going down to AUianv uesday, a train man had his hand mushed eoupling cars, and Wednoadny, on his re turn trip, a little negro boy about tl years id. was killed or fatally injured a few Idea from Americus. From a passenger it ps learned that when Engineer McGee first ,w the boy, he was standing in the middle 1 the track as if waiting for the train. The r brakes were applied and every effort ade to stop the train, but too late. The •y was not dead when the train left, but * was so badly mangled there was no auice for him to live. The Rev. W. H.

His physician, Dr. W. W. Twitty, thinks the prognosis unfavorable. Some time ago the Governor issued an executive warrant in obedience to a requi sition of the Governor of Alaliama for the arrest of William Douglass, wanted in Ala banm for the crime of “netting at a licensisl pool table.” Lately the Governor has been informed that an indictment issued by the Superior Court of Randolph county, charg ing William Douglass with assault is exist ing in an unsatisfied condition ugainst him, and in view of that fact he will issue an or der to the Sheriffs and constabulary of Georgia directing the suspension of the aforesaid executive warrant until the in dietnicUt |iending in Randolph Superior Court has lieen tried and the sentence of the court thereon executed. Attorney General Anderson Wednesday received the following unique letter from a deputy sheriff in a State bordering on Georgia. The letter is dated Aug. 26, 1887, and is addressed to tho “State Attorney, Atlanta, Ga." It recites the following in formation: “If you have the Recorde at Hand Please Let me know if your State wonts a man ansering the following Description; Hight 0 ft, weight 180 or 19b, age 30 or 35, eompleeksbun dark; eyes Brown, Hair Brown. He has a wife in your State. Said he helped to kill a man there. If you want him Let mo know.” It is sup(iose<l that this accurate and definite description, not to speak of the small mat ter of name, will enable the Attorney General to at once locate tho party. Tuesday was the day set for the hearing at Americus of argument of counsel in the Blackman murder case for anew trial for i the condemned assassin. The only question of moment in the mind of Judge Fort was the plea that one of the jurors before whom the case was lost tried was disqualified from serving, it being claimed by counsel for the defense that he had previously “expressed an opin ion.” Judge Fort reserved his decision in the matter until the charge of counsel can be thoroughly looked into, and it will probably be three or four days before his decision is made known. It is not thought that the evidence is sufficient to warrant a fourth trial in this case, and many believe that one will be refused, in which ovent it will again be taken to the Supreme Court. On the road from Homer to Harmony Grove is a negro church known as Flat Creek. For some days and nights past a revival has been in progress, and hun dreds of negroes are assembled from all parts of the country. During tho services on lost Sunday night, George Sanders, a white man, had loaded himself up with whisky and opened up to preach a sermon of his own, greatly to the disturbance of tlie colored congregation. Handers’ father in-law, a Mr. Sailors, was present, aud suc ceeded in getting him to leave the ground and go up to his house. When the party reached Sailors’ house Mr. Sailors was re monstrating with his son-in-law in regard to disturbing public worship, when Sanders assaulted him and inflicted several severe stabs, one of which may prove fatal. San ders was arrested. The managers of the Piedmont Exposition have invited a number of the cities of Geor gia to send companies to Atlanta to join the great Young Men’s Democratic League, who are to be the special escort of President Cleveland on the occasion of his visit to At lanta on Oct. 19, during the exposition. One of the features of the torchlight procession will be two companies of original wool hat Democrats, organized by Clark Howell. They will be dressed in copperas breeches, yellow boots, hickory shirts and one “gallus,” with rosettes of corn shuck, and coon tail plumos for their slouch hats. They utterly refuse to handle the new fangled torches, but each one will swing a light wood knot from the butt end of a pine. They will march in two companies, and it will be known os the battalion of original Democrats. They have secured a hall and will drill until they have perfected them selves in their evolutions. This battalion will be one of the greatest features of the parade. FLORIDA. The well known DeYannan hotel, of Orange City, is advertised for sale. a The steamer Fannie Louise has been sola Messrs. Orman and Coombs were the pur chasers. Orlando wants the government to supply it with a public building, and is getting up a petition Franklin county was carried by the Pro hibitionists in last week’s election by a ma jority of 11. Pat Pope, of Apalachicola, has an oyster shell In his shanty that measures 8)4" inches in length and B}f inches in breadth. A number of small cottages are in course of erection in the western part of Orlando Even in the dullest season Orlando is steadily growing. It is reiiortod that from this date tho mail service from Apalachicola and Carrabelle will be discontinued. The government claims that it does not pay expenses. W. A. Baugh, of Indian river, brought a carload of bunanas to Orlando last Friday and disposed of them at good prices. An other carload passed through the city on the same day to points south of Orlando. Dr. W. 8. Townsend has sold to Davis, Fish & Cos., of Orlando, $73 worth of senp pemong grapes produced this season on his place near that city. This is another indus try from which can be derived a good revenue. There are now in the Orange county jail twenty-three prisoners; of this number, six, all white, are charged with murder, one of whom is a woman. Three of these are from Hillsboro county, one from Polk, one from 1a ke and one from Osceola. R. A. Bradham, of Sopchoppy. is inter ested in getting the Catrabelle and Talla hassee railroad to run by his plans He has his big turbine wheel in operation, and is ready to crush the phosphates as goon as the phosphate company get their crusher in. A purse of SIOO is being raised by sub scription from DeLand business men for the puqiose of offering it as a prize to any two clubs in the State who will play a series of three game* on the DeLand grounds, the purse to go to the winner. It is proposed to get an excursion rate over the railroad aud So advertise the games extousively through out the county and get a largo crowd into town. Herman Davis, one of De Land's largest merchants', made an assignment last week to Jacksonville )>arties. The firm of Mumby, Stockton & Knight, of Jacksonville, gent on a hill and served an attachment on tho stock, but ow ing to some error in the papers the attachment did not hold good, and Mr. Davis made an assignment by telegraph. It is hoped that he will be able to resume business. The stockholders of the new bank to be opened in Orlando alxmt Oct. 1 met Wednes day. “The Citizens' National Bank of Or lando” was selected as the name, awl A. 8.

Mrs. Hall states that when sbo discovered the body she started for the Doyle settlement, some fifteen miles dis tant, with a baby in her arms Often, she said, she hail to wade in water which was so deep that it struck her up to her chin. Hat urday afternoon neighbors helped her to bury the corpse. A few weeks ago Hall mar ried a Miss Nannie Brown in Apalachicola, and after the marriage they moved to Fort Gadsden creek. Ilall was a' very poor man, and his murder, judging from this fact, was not committed from mercenary motives. Tallahassee Tallahastean: Mr. Fleets, who disappeared so mysteriously, has turned up in ThomasviUe. His wife sold off her furniture last week, refunded the money obtained from Mr. Fish, and left to join him in Georgia. This being the only amount obtained under circumstances that would sustain a requisition upon the Gover nor of Georgia for his surrender, Mr. Fish can now go on his way rejoicing, while Mr. Fieri*’ numerous other victims may gnash their teeth and mourn their losses. It is strange that a young man with a good trade, getting tol erably steady work ut ?20 a week, and no one to look after but a wife who was indus trious and more than supported herself, should have accumulated debts, obtained money under criminal circumstances and skipped out by the light of the moon, leav ing an unfinished job, when ho could have lived here in independent and respectable circumstances. Since the Indians have arrived at Fort Pickens the government has had a llag staff erected there, and now has the American flag flying from it. The Indians, about fifty, including men, woninn and children, have the fort for their exclusive use now. Heretofore the guard of soldiers also lived inside the fort, but now they live in houses outside the fort. There are about ten of them on at a time; that is, ten men com pose the whole guard, with one man walk ing past at the gate of the fort. About every week the guard is relieved by a detachment from Fort Barrancas. There are not as many visitors to Fort Pickens now as there have been. It is amusing to see some of the lady visitors. They will go into a perfect ocstaey of delight over the little papooses, and the bucks they will scrutinize very closely, but they stand and bear the scrutiny with stolid indifferonee. There was one lady from Ohio, who, while performing the scru tinizing act, was telling some gentlemen who were with her about the ravages they had committed, and of receiving a letter from her sister, who lived whore these Indians had dono most mischief, and not ten minutes later she was looking for Geronimo to get a piece of his hair, for which she was going to give him a gold breastpin which she wore. When the re quest was made known to him he refused to make the exchange. Much as he would like to have liad the pin he would not sacrifice a piece of his hair for it. The old fellow is very sharp in a business transaction. One day thore were some visitors there, and he wanted to trade a photograph of an actress for a gold watch charm which a gentleman had on. TWO DECOY LETTERS. An Interesting Story of the Long Ago In Georgia. J. 8. Jobtton in Jacksonville (Fla.) Non'*-Herald. The writer of this was postmaster at Perry, Ga., for several years while the daily line of four-horse post-coaches was run from Macon, Ga., to Tallahassee, Fla. It was known as the Alligator line, and passed through Perry for Macon at night. On one occasion upon emptying the letter pouch a naked letter, over the average size, on fine paper, without postmark to denote where it was mailed, fell out It was folded in the old style—sealed with a wafer, and addressed in an elegant business hand to the cashier of the Marine Bank, Savannah, Ga. It was without a wrap and felt as if it was filled with bank bills. I thought and felt that the postmas ter who was so negligent and careless as to put that letter in the mail in that wav should, if known, be reported and dismissed from office. All I could do was to wrap it securely, which I did, and, addressing the package to its destination, closed the mail and delivered it to the driver. Several days passed, during which thoughts as to why and how that fat letter cAnie about re curred; and, although I said nothing about it, it troubled me and I could not tell why. One of the school boys came to the office and handing me a post bill from an office in South to one in North Georgia, said that he found it in the grove near the academy. Here was another mystery. How came that post bill out there! Had the jxist office been robbed! were suggestive questions which, added to the fat letter mystery, satisfied me that something was wrong, and I determined to investigate. Knowing that Dr. Allen, one of the stage drivers, was honest, 1 had an interview with and informed him fully of the fat letter and post-bill troubles. He was reticent and said nothing until 1 told him that I had decided and determined to report and ferret out the whole matter. “Well, now,” said he, “I think 1 can satisfy you as to how the post bill got into the grove, and also how the fat letter came in the mail pouch. The night you say the letter was in the pouch a stranger was on the box with me. Just below town he asked me for the mail bag. stating that he was a secret agent or detective of the Post Office Department, exhibited his creden tials, and I delivered it to him. With a key of his own he unlocked, opened the pouch, and quickly slipped into it a letter or package relocked and returned it to me, enjoining strict silence and secrecy After passing the office and reaching the grove, he again asked for the mail, and, jumping to the ground with it, disappeared in the dark. He returned in about half an hour, gave me the pouch, mounted the box. and said { “Drive on, that jiostmaster is all right.” Now you know there is and has been much talk and complaint of crook edness somewhere between Macon and Tal lahassee, and doubtless they inteud to lo cate* the trouble and catch the offender. The fat letter was a decoy, and used to test you. The post bill was evidontly last or dropped by the detective while looking for the decoy. “Now,” said my friend Allen, “I was and am glad you ore vindicated and all right with the authorities ut Washing ton.” In a week or two tho news|iapoi-R gave an account of a postmaster being caught in South Carolina by a detective with a decoy letter used in the same way. And since coming to Florida I have formed theae quaintonce of the deputy postmaster at the office next to the one at w hich the crooked postmaster was caught up with in Houth Carolina, and knew all the circumstances and also the captured official. My old friend Allen was not an M. I)., but, as they are now called, u veterinary surgeon, and a good one. His cxplmmt ion of tile -ause of my anxiety as above stated satisfied me. I trusted him afterward and found that my confidence was not misplaced. IS HE TIIE RIGHT MAN? Marshal Mason Catches a Supposed Murderer in Waldo. Special to the JacletcinvUle (Fla.) Ken* Herald Waldo, Aug. 31.— Mr. B. F. Mason, Marshal of this city, clipped the following from the Savannah Morning News: “A DESPERATE ATTEMPT AT MTRUER.” “Nurrkncy, Ga., Aug. 15.—AVhilconeof McDonough A' Co.'s engineers, named A. J. Ford, wax working on his engine, Friday morning, a negro, named John Pinkston, crept stealthily up to him and dealt him a blow with the sharp end of an ax on the head, inflicting a fearful wound. Hope* of recovery are very slight The negro made g:xxi his escape. marching |iartica have gone out in all directions. "McDonough A: Cos. have offered a *re ward of SIOO for his nrre*t. "The negro is coal black, about five feet six or seven niche* tall, 24 year* old, ha* small side whisker* aud sullen abuser ant*." Last night about 10 o’clock Mr. Mason the Marshal, arrested a very suspicious negro, whose actions denoted the conscious ness of crime, and locked him up in the city jail until this morning for further investi gation. A number of citizens accompanied the Marshal to visit the prisoner this morn ing to identify him by the description of the notice, and subject him to an inquisi torial ordeal. His genera! appearance, complexion, height and whiskers correspond in all par ticulars with the description given in the notice, ami his answers, ns to his where abouts and movements in the past six months, were non-committal, evasive and unsatisfactory. He claims that his name is Lot Mumford, that lie has lived in Jackson ville five years, ami thgt he knows Sheriff Holland and Mayor Ux bridge. In his valise was found a linen collar marked H. P. Fritcrt. The marshal has telegraphed the authori ties at Surrencv, Ga., for instructions as to the disjKJsition "of the inun. The prisoner was arraigned before the Mayor this morning on the charge of va grancy, and was sentenced to twenty days in jail and to pay a fine of $lO, which will give ail parties sufficient time. Mr Mason deserves great credit for his vigilance, suc cess and promptness in arresting the sup posed murdprer. The proininen i citizens of the town and surrounding country are making an effort to pull altogether to induce the Macon railroad to pass through Waldo mi route to I’alatka. Points About New York Millionaires. From the Philadelphia Pres*. Mr. Gould talks softly and smoothly His speecli is feline; ho purrs what he has to say. Mr. Sage talks like a man with some thing holding lKick his words guardedly, a word or two at a time and with a hesitation over every word. He has the conversational mannerism of a bell-punch or of one of those machines that ring only when a check is nulled from them. Mr. Field is a ready and willing speaker. What he lias to say has a jolly ring to it and cornea out loud,and clear and hearty. Mr. Dillon is a charming talker—if a man is ever charming. His voice is melodious like a woman’a and speech with him is what silence is with others—golden. Mr. Cornell’s talking is cold, lacking that quality of “heart, or sympathy or whatever it is that warms the voice. This luncheon must appear like a great game to these men and they can not help but bo interested in watching each other and themselves, for though united so far as Western Union interests are concerned, they are cecidedly for themselves individu ally in almost all other matters. Mr. Gould has no confidant except his son George Mr. Sage has none at all, not even his brother in-law who manages his office, but he is fond of going to Mr. Gould for advice and of following it after he gets it. There is not anything mueh more peculiar in town than the attitude of Mr. Russell towards Mr. Gould. M l- ' Sage is a tall, big man and Mr. Gould is short and very spore. He has to look up at Sage like a child before a lamp-post wlieu they are together, and Mr. Sage Is at least fifteen years Gould’s senior, yet Sage leans on Gould in business when ever he is in the least worried or in need of counsel. The only times when Mr. Gould has anv difficulty in handling Mr. Sage are when "Mr. Field is concerned. To speak wholly within bounds, Field and Sago are not drawn to one another. Mr. Sage is believed to have more ready money than any other man in the party— more, even, than Mr. Gould. He can com mand about $25,000,000 in cash in half an hour during business hours. His aim and hobby aro to hold cash iu preference to all other forms of property. The only time he was ever known to “squeal,” as they say iu the street, was in 1884, when the bottem fell out of the market and he had all his “puts shoved - ’ at him. Ho locked himself in his room where no one could get at him, but the brokers burst iu the transom over his door and flung the unwelcome paper in through it, thus making what is called “a delivery.” It is understood that Mr. Gould then told him that the only thing to do was to square up. It cost him $7,000,000 to do it. Mr. Field and Mr. Cornell, who are the “poor men” of the party, both livo in far better style than Mr. Sage. He lives very plainly in his modestly appointed home on Fifth avenue. He and his wife are of one mind and taste in this respect and there are no children to gainsay them. Mrs. Sage is distinguished for her interest and benevo lence toward hospital work. Mr. Sage takes his keenest pleasure in riding and the ownership of horses, but he never buys a horse outright. He follows the custom of country horsemen and of his own rustic youth "and “swaps,” or, trades for every norse he gets. The earmarks of his country origin hang to him as to very few' men in this city, though the town is full of men with the same general history, for few of the leaders in any walk of life here were not country boys or countrymen before they came here. But Mr. Sago looks like a countryman still—and like a peculiarly old fashioned one—with his stiff and angular figure, his deep-furrowed face and his old time tieard, growing undpr his chin and jowl The others are all from the farm or village—Dillon, Gould, Field and Cornell— but what is called the polish of the city hides the fact as it does iu most men who succeed here. Mr. Sage wants to appear well before the public and is particularly sensative to newspaper criticism but for that matter so is Jav Gould—as sensitive as a child—and so is Mr. Field: in short that is a peculiarity with moneyed men (very moneyed men at any rate), they got the main trait of capital itself, which is sensi tiveness—as if they had gold in their veins instead of blood. MEDICAL.
