Two Negro Boys Struck By a Train Near Augusta - Athens’ Cotton Busi ness Largely Increased Last Year- Stone Mountain Excited By a Report That Negroes Were Marching on the Town. GEORGIA. Redden Smith is building a forty-room hotel at Thomasville. Spring chickens are now plentiful in the Athens market at 15c. The first brick church in Brunswick has been built by colored people. There are about twenty cases of measles in and around Eudora, Jasper county. The Athens bar is a unit for Hon. Howell Cobb for the Supreme Court Judgeship. Joseph Hay, of Alapaha, brought suit a few days ago against Isaac Fenn, for $2,000 damages for slander. During the year ending Aug. 31 Athens received 75,041 bales of cotton, an increase of 13,534 over the preceding year. Two negro boys fell asleep on the Augusta and Knoxville railroad track, near Augusta Thursday and were struck by a train. One may die. Friedlander & Anderson, of Brunswick, have dissolved partnership. Mr. Friedland er goes to San Francisco to live, and Mr. Anderson carries on the business. John McMillan, agedß7, familiarly known as “Uncle Johnny, one of the old pioneers of Berrien county, has been lying seriously ill for some time. He is slowly recover! ng. In case Hon. Samuel Lumpkin is elected to the Supreme Court. Messrs. S. 11. Hardeman and H. A. McWhorter will be candidates for the circuit Judgeship that he will va cate. Joe Wilson, of Villa Rica, sold the min eral interest in his farm a few miles oast of town to a company in Alabama last Mon day for $1,500. There is said to be iron in paying quantities on the place. Col. W. H. Morton, of Clarke county, lost his gin house, machinery, engines and a saw and grist mill by fire Tuesday night. Heavy insurance rates forced him to carry his own risk. He is preparing to rebuild. Monday, while W. Sapp, in the employ of the Gross Lumber Company, was oiling one of the machines at the planing mills, and while not noticing, the saw caught his left hand, and cut off the four fingers. The hand had to be amputated. Mrs. J. R. Crane writes that a correct ac count has not been given of what occurred during her visit to Woolfolk. The accused murderer was very much pleased to see his aunt, and his sister acted in an affection ate manner toward him. He kissed them and asked them to visit him again. Lucien Brasell, of Irwin county, was in Abbeville last week. He has been afflicted from infancy with paralysis, and has no use of the left arm, leg and foot. He is in his 41st year. He was on his way to Hawkins ville afoot, had walked thirty-seven miles, and had twenty-five more to walk on a cratch. Tne genuine fighting Confederate officers are very scarce in Athens. They have all died or moved off. There are plenty of Colonels who came on the field after the war, but the fighting ones have played out. There are only two bona fide Colonels in the city, and the other officers are equally as scarce. Mitchell county reports that the cotton crop never was before so nearly nicked out in August. The two warehouses at Camilla have weighed 758 bales. Taking in Pelham, Flint, and Baconton, it is thought about 1,300 have been weighed. Possibly the num ber will-reach 3,500 or 4,000 in this month, which will le more than two-thirds of the whole crop. Last Saturday night a gang of negroes imagined that they could take Dawson, and they set out with that idea, but were soon taken “out of the cold” by policemen. They commenced their programme by rocking the houses of the citizens, and as late an hour as 12 o’clock Saturday night they rocked the houses all along the line from the depot to the business portion of the town. Judge Grice, of Hawkinsville, has the warehouse Or cotton books kept by Chas tian & Dupree in Hawkinsville in the years 1836-7. They contain the original receipts for cotton shipped by the firm to Savannah and other ports via Darien, and also receipts from farmers for cotton sold by Messrs. Chastianj & Dupree. The price paid was generally 15c.— never lesg than 14c. nor more than 16c. A citizen of Brnnwood owns a very saga cious dog. If he drops a handkerchief, or other article of any kind, the dog will pick it up and follow along with it. He will also take a package from down town to the gentleman's house. Perhaps the best trait of this pup is that he keeps a strict watch over his master, and if he takes a drink the dog at once hurries home anil communi cates the fact to the gentleman’s wife. At Stone Mountain AVednesday uiglit it was rumored that a mob of negroes from Atlanta and Decatur was coming to take the town by force and lynch one of the citi zens -who lias been taking a prominent jiosi tion against them in their crimes and out breaks. Guards were kept up until a late hour, but fortunately they did not make their appearance. The people of Stone Mountain are not anxious for anything of this kind to happen, but if a mob' comes it will meet with a cordial reception. On the right of the public road leading from Bott-sford through the Gooseberry dis trict of Webster county, and about three miles from the first mentioned place, is an old house, the former residence of Uncle Allison Culpepper, a Primitive Baptist preacher in nis day, and who built this house somewhere in the thirties. The house is now dilapidated, but as a building it is of interest, tor it connects the Indian period of this section with the present. In the yard is an immense tree, some three yards in diameter. Its age is from 150 to 200 years. In size it reaches the dimensions of some of California’s big trees Enoch King, a negro from Terrell county, stepped into Joseph Ehrlich’s shoe store at Albany VVednesday and said: “I’ll give you $7, boss, for a pair of shoes that will fit mv feet.” Mr. Ehrlich eyed the tall, heavily built specimen and replied: “AVell, sir, I have the vory shoe for vou. Sten t his way.” Going to the rear of his store Mr Ehrlich fm llikl out an extra wide shoe box, and rust ing among its contents, brought to light a No. 14, built on an extra wide last. Enoch, who stood six feet and six inches high and was broad in proportion, took off a shoe that haul been made to order for him a year ago, and squeezed one of his ponder ous pedal extremities into the No. 14. He wrestled with it until it was on, and com plained that there was not room enough in it for his comfort, anil sorrowfully sought farther for the big object of his intense de sire. N. L. Bogan, of Albany, had an experi ence with a horse trader, Wednesday, that, he will not soon forget. J. A. Cary, of Sumter county, came to Albany, and had in his possession a good-looking mule. His purpose was to t rade the mule to S. B. Lewis for a debt he owed Lewis Brothers at Montezuma, so his brother-in-law stated; but Mr. Kagan spied the animal anil he im mediately bethought himself of a horse that he held for disposition, and liantered the countryman for a trade. The trade pro gressed, and finally Mr. Reagan gave his horse and S7O for the mule, which, he says, was represented as be ing sound to him. To make things agreeable all around he treated- the crowd. AVhen the mule was hitched to a dray it did not pull it 100 yards before it choked down, it proved to lie a choke-down mule, and Mr. Ragan consulted his lawyer at once. Two warrants were issued for J. A. Cary, one for cheating and swindling, and the other a possessory warrant for the money Ragan had paid him. Toward the dose of the afternoon Mr. Cary proposed THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 3, 1887. rather than put his brother-in-law. who pro posed to sign his bond, to any trouble, he would rue back. The proposition was ac cepted and the warrants were withdrawn. The Mil ledge ville correspondent of the News, under date of Sept. 1, writes as fol lows: Yesterday afternoon some twenty or thirty of the members of the Weekly Press Convention, now assembled at Milledge ville, went out to the asylum, where they were kindly met and invited to remain over till after supper, and attend oneof the usual weekly dances given them for the patients. The members of the convention present were called to order by Col. Jordan, when the object of the meeting was stated to lie the tender of resolutions of thanks, etc. It was as follows: Be it reunit ed tty the Weeklg Pi ees Association of Georgia, That the thanks of this association he returned to tiie officers of the State Lunatic Asylum, especially to Dr. J. M. Whitaker, first assistant physician, for their kind and courteous treatment and entertainment during our visit. Mr. Guinn then offered a toast, “Dr. J. M. Whitaker,” which was responded to in short but pleasing style by Mr. Neeson, of the Warrenton Clipper. The company then adjourned to the large dance hall where an address of welcome was delivered bv Col. G. AV. A. Brantly, of Macon, and replied to by Mr. Herrington. Each member of the convention present agreed to donate to the asylum the yearly subscription of three copies of his journal. FLORIDA. Bugar cane is in market at Tampa Crops throughout Gadsdeu county are good. Bronson’s greatest need is a first class school house. A postoffice lias been established at Owens, DeSoto county. The Methodist church at Bronson is rap idly approaching completion. The railroad company has bought Rey nolds mill at Carrabelle, and men are at work to get it in running order. At a meeting in the Masonic Hall, Apop ka City last Saturday, a temperance club was organized in the interest.of the local option law. A school of porpoises was seen at Jack sonville Thursday out in the river. They seemed too much afraid of civilization to venture near the wharves. Wine making is going on at AVelaka. From the acuppernoug grape one party will make some 300 gallons. It is the best crop that can be raised in Florida. The now saw mill of Hallow & Russell at Welaka will soon lie in operation, the bead blocks for which they have been waiting for some weeks having arrived. S. J. Wells, who lives within a mile or two of San Mateo, beard the roar of the breakers after the last storm as they broke on the beach, over twenty miles distant. John M. Love is a candidate for Apopka's City Clerk and Trea.sure.ship. Page Mc- Kinney is a candidate for re-election as Mayor. Apopkaites will vote for three Al dermen to day. John Bradley, formerly chief clerk and cashier of the People’s Line of steamers at Jacksonville, has l>een appointed agent of the Plant Steamship Line at Tampa, and took charge Aug. 10. If a fertilizer factory were started on Hooker’s Point, it would prove a paying in vestment and afford means to Tampa fisher men to dispose of all fish for which they could not find a ready sale. Work upon the railroad has commenced, and Carrabelle, with its magnificent harbor, will very soon be the great attraction for capitalists. Every room in the hotel is en gaged for two months ahead. A colored man living out in the neigh borhood of Dr. Estes’ place, about half a mile from Palatka, met with a serious acci dent whi|e cutting wood. By a slip of the ax one blow fell on his foot and went clear through. In the hummock near Palatka there is a carel&ss weed that has grown to large pro portions—so much so that birds of the air can alight in its branches. It is an evidence of what Florida soil might produce if prop erly tilled. AY. C. Lightfoot and O. A. Bush, of the Bartow Informant typographical force, challenge any two compositors in Polk or Grange counties in a typographical contest. They lielieve they are the fasest in South Florida, but only challenge the two counties. Capt. T. J. Bhine, commanding the Or lando Guards, intends to secure twenty pay members, who are to pay annually $25. This is in conformity to the law. and re lieves such members of active duty, jury duty, etc., yet gives all the rights and priv ileges of other members. Saturday Joseph Robles exhibited at Tampa a large, ripe, well-matured orange of last year's crop, one nearly ripe of Feb ruary of this year, one a little smaller from April, one as large as a hickory nut from July, and a bloom, all picked from the same tree. He says one-third of his trees are now in bloom. Mrs. Sarah Mather and Henry Fryett were married at the bride’s residence, at Jacksonville, Thursday, Rev. R. H. AVeller officiating. The bride is well known in Jacksonville, having lived there for nearly twenty years. She has just passed her sov enty-six’th mile i*ost, while the groom is on the shady side of 60. At Pensacola Wednesday it was dis covered that a fire had been set underneath the dry kiln on the old Harvev & Hilliard property at the intersection of Palafox and Garden streets, and that, for some reason unknown, the flames had failed to com municate with the floor above to such an extent as to cause a conflagration. At Tampa to-day the plans of anew brick building to cover Ghira’s corner in the burnt district will be submitted to the ar chitects for bids. A. Ross bas determined to put up a block to cover his Franklin street front also. This gives assurance that the last reminder of the fire, at least on oast Franklin, will soon have disappeared. Last Monday while out fishing T. R. Hair, of Tampa, caught a large cat fish. He held it up near his right breast to break its back when the fish gave a sudden jump anil finned him l ight over his heart, the fin enter ing about three-quarters of an inch and breaking off even with the flesh. Mr. Hair took out his pocketkuife and cut the fin out and at last accounts was doing well. The election in Polk county Thursday re sulted in n decisive victory for the dry ticket. This town went 125 majority for no whisky. Good order prevailed and the ladies gave a big temperance dinner in honor of the victory, to which the public was invited. Blue ribbons, emblems of temperance, floated everywhere. At Au burndale the vote was tl for and 45 against whisky. The bond of T. K. Spencer, as Deputy Collector of the Port of Tampa, has been accepted and approved by the Treasury De partment, and Tampn is'now to all intents a port of entry. The fact, that heretofore everything hail to be entered at Key AVest caused considerable annoyance ana delay, but now’ t hat the hindrance has been re moved, it will be of much advantage to the city, and especially to the cigar manufac tories. The duties collected during the month of August amounted to atiout $7,700. More is being done now in the way of building than ever before in the history of Dade City. The construction of several stores, a handsome depot by the Florida lUilwav and Navigation Cos., and several new residences have greatly improved the appearance of the town, and added to it an air of thrift and enterprise that is most at tractive. One or two progressive and en terprising men seem to have infused new life into the town, and a spirit of energy and a determination to make Dade City all it should be is manifest in everything. At St. Augustine, on Monday night, Mary Angelina Richardson, a young colored girl, while walking near Dr. Anderson's orange groves, was violently assaulted by James McGee and another colored vouth who goes by the name of Kiah. The gir; was but 16 years of age, and is now in a terrible condition. She was afraid to report the outrage at first, but aftewai-d in formed against the youug brutes. They were brought before Judge McWilliams, and on the evidence given were committed for trial. The boys boasted of their exploit to several of their acquaintances, which cir cumstance finally led to their arrest. At Syracuse last Saturday evening as Masters John Saunders and Willie Mcßae were in close pursuit of a chicken on the promises of \\ T . R. Saunders they came upon a large rattlesnake coiled tip under a lanta nia bush. This put a sudden stop to the chicken chase, and L. J. Saunders rushed to the front and dispatched the monster with a club. His bead was so mangled that it was found necessary-to cut it off. After the snake was skinned and stuffed he measured 7 feet and 3 inches (without the head) in length, and 12 inches around the largest part. He had eleven perfect rattles, and a fragment of another showed where some had been broken off. There was considerable excitement at Concord on Saturday night last, caused by a mad dog. The dog was first noticed sev eral miles below there, ana parties followed him, trying to kill him, but failed until par ties from town followed him about one naif mile aliove there and succeeded in killing him. When the dog came into town he found several cattle lying in the street, near the Baptist church, and, attacking them, succeeded in biting two of them before his pursuers got close enough to shoot at him. The dog crossed the Ockloekonee river at the iron bridge about 4 o’clock in the after noon. He attacked and was known to have bitten several dogs along the route, all of which have since been killed. A Key West negro who had the yellow fever at Egmont Key, after the usual quar antine delays, came up to Tam} a last week with bag and baggage, consisting of a mat tress and some bed clothes. The negro was eetirely over the fever, but was weak when lie arrived, anil the news soon spread that he had the yellow fever, and quite a panic was created for a while, but it soon quieted down when the facts were learned. The Mayor, at the suggestion of the City Physi cian, had the effects of the negro burned. Inasmuch as the mattress and bedclothes had been used by the negro while ho was sick, and were consequently infected, the quarantine authorities should not have allowed them to have been brought in. Thursday afternoon H. T. Graves, mail transfer clerk, in company with Mr. Low ery, car inspector of the Savannah, Florida and AVestern railway, found in mailear 112, train 27, a registered package lying loose on the floor. It contained about SSOO and was dated Aug. 29, bearing register num ber 4,874, Baltimore, Md., to Blackshear, Ga. Register Clerk Thomas Gagahan was in charge of the car, and it was through his negligence that the package was lost. This Thomrs Gagahan is the man whose case has recently been cited in attacks upon the Florida postal system as offering an illustra tion of a most competent postal clerk under a Republican administration, who is un able to secure a position by reason of his politics, and is obliged to “sub” as a regis ter clerk. Pensacola Advance-Gazette: The first outside parties to put in for the regatta are Messrs. Cottrell & Finlayson, of Cedar Keys, who recently wrote to Capt, Chipley as follows: “On seeing notice of the pro posed regatta, we went to work having a yacht built, 25 feet keel, and to cost $2,500. Please write full particulars, for we will have several yachts from our port to enter the race. Hoping to hear particulars re garding the race, we reman yours very truly, Cottrell & Finlayson.” Capt. Chipley re plied that “the details of the regatta will not be fixed until September, when the com mittee will hold its first meeting, but it is probable that a SI,OOO prize will be offered to schooner-rigged yachts, and SSOO to sloop-rigged, for a race of say twenty miles to windward, time allowance to be un .’er rules of New York Yacht Club. Other prizes will r>o offered for other contests, and of which I will write later.” On Aug. 13 the steamer Ella D. left Pen sacola with a cargo of fertilizers bound for Andalusia, Ala. Up to this date the vessel has gone no further than Murder Creek Bends, about three miles this side of Brew ton, and because of low water partly, and mainly because of the remarkable prev alence of snags at that j joint. Capt. Janies Smith, the proprietor of the EllaD., says he made t wo unsuccessful attempts to get the steamer through, and she now lies at the Bends awaiting a sufficient depth of water to enable her to pass over the snags, which are sticking up as thickly as the fingers on a man’s hand. Capt. Smith says he Is reliably informed that the mode of re moving the obstructions in the stream is calculated rat her to engender a worse con dition than to render the navigation of the stream possible—the workmen throwing the snags taken out of the river at one point into the river at another. The snag boat is lying idle at Brewton, and this notwith standing the fact that there are $9,000 avail able for the river’s improvement. At Cedar Keys AVednesday night a negro by the name of Malty Muttonjoy, about 30 years of age, was shot and killed by a white man named T. AY. Davis. It seems that on the daily arrival of the Jacksonville train a large number of negro men and boys have been accustomed to crowd upon the station platform and enter the cars before the pas sengers have left. This has caused the con ductor much annoyance. Last evening Muttonjoy and three or four others boarded the train before it bad stopped, and were ordered off by the conductor. The others left, but Muttonjoy stood on the lower step and dared the conductor to touch him. Mr. Davis, who has charge of the trestle gang at work on the road here, made some remark, when the negro, who was of a quarrelsome disposi tion, uttered some insulting words and stepped up as if to make an attack, when Davis struck him. Muttonjoy then re treated, seized a cart stake and struck Davis two severe blows, one on the arm and the other over the eye. Davis then drew his pistol and fired three shots, one taking effect in the mouth and causing death almost im mediately. Davis gave himself up to the Justice of the Peace, who bound him over to appear before the November court. The Cotton States, a newspaper published at Gainesville, and edited by Col. J, M. Arnow, now of Jacksonville, was the only paper published east and south of the Su wanee line of all the papers existing at the beginning of the war. that was regularly published from the beginning to the end of the war. Col. Arnow thinks that he has a complete file of it, which contains all im portant eVeuts happening in this secction covering that poriod, and historical facts not to be found elsewhere. In addition b* editorial and news matter, it contains the productions of many of the leading nteti of those eventful times. The Cotton States office wus twice in the hands of the Federal troops during the war, and fortunately was not destroyed, although the troojis would have done so, but for the time ly attack and victory of Dickerson. Col. Arnow also has a file of the Sew Era for over a year which succeeded the Cotton States at Gainesville; also a file of aliout a year's publication of the Commercial Imle.v, which he edited at Fernaiulina in 1868. All of the files contain valuable information of the times in which the papers were pub lished. Col. Arnow’s paper, at Gainesville was suspended twice at the point of the bayonet after the war for publishing what duty dictated. The country was under military rule and in a deplorable condition at that time. The Cotton States did the ad vertising for the Confederate States, the State and many of the counties during the war, and it was a paying enterprise from the time that Col. Arnow took charge of it until lie retired and removed to Fernan dina in 1868. A urrrgs written just after the Congress of Berlin by Czar Alexander 11. to the Princess Dolgoroukl has been made public in Europe "The Congress,” wrote the Czar, “has been an immense misfortune to Russia Germany has sold ua. The Riasian statesmen have not been equal to their mission. Prince Bismarck’s re serve ought to have warned them that Runic n interest* would be sac-rifled. I can see that this is revenge. Prince Bismarck wanted to avenge himself for the support which I gave France in 1814. " Mzxy of the citizens of Tulare, Cal., have been made seriously ill by t he bite*, of big black aMdera. which have appealed in graat numbers. . SHIPPING.
