At Clarksville, Friday, Cliarles Edwards, the negro brakeman charged wilb flie mur derof Wiliam Echois near Mt Airy, on Sun day night. May 29, last, was put on trial and convicted in short order, chiefly on his own confessions. It is believed that he will be hanged. i In the Reeves' neighborhood, in Columbia county, Wednesday evening, a lively chase •was given to a negro by the name of Press Hobbs, who is an escaped convict.

Caljett arrived at Atlanta Friday for the purpose of identifying the negro, Monroe Johnson, who had been ar rested as the perpetrator of the crime. They declare that the prisoner is the murderer.

They were shipped to him at Madison, and he has been hauling wagon-load after wagon-load of them for the, past few’ days. William Pittman, of Athens, has discov ered in a bunch of bananas a very curious animal. It was thought by some to be a tarantula, but a gentleman who knows says it is not one of these poisonous insects, it looks very much like a crab. Mr. Pittman has it on exhibition in a glass jar, and so far no one has been able to name it. Madison is determined ho take another chance at whisky or no whisky, and a peti tion is being circulated asking the Ordinary *to call another election. It only takes about 160 names to call the election, and they had (nearly that number Wednesday eveniug.

Ed Richards, an expert from Bir mingham, Ala., is on the ground prospect ‘lag. Big results are looked for. Old Confederate soldiers all over Georgia are jubilant over the prospects of meeting Jefferson Davis at the State Fair in October. Macon county can furnish the soldier on this occasion who fired the last gun at Appoinot tax from Gen. Gordons division, as well as the identical Reb who carried an ash hopper two miles into camps, one dark night, think ing it was a bee mini. Maj. Frederick, of the same county, has a horse, probably the last of anything captured from the Yankee forces in Georgia. Griffin Sun: We remember, years ago, when we were a boy, when the old Macon and Western railroad, 'now the Atlanta division of the Central, used a little heavv set brown mule for a switch engine at Griffin. He knew as much about coupling cars and mak ing up a train a* an average brakeman. The freight oars wen* not so heavy those days as now. but it took a mighty strong mule to start one *\vhen it was heavily loaded, and this little mule displayed almost human intelligence in finding a brace for his feet, and in getting out of the way of mov ing cars. At Rome Thursday a saddle horse sto xl mt the sido eutranco of the Rome hardware fstore when his owner canie up and put on • his shoulder several picks. One of the picks ■•truck the animal and he began to run, and 'as he did this he was unmercifully pricked (by the sharp edge of the tools. He ran up •Brood street, and when he got as far us the Merchants’ National Bank he turned and dashed in, going through the wire door and from there to the hack yard. The officials were considerably startled by the intrusion of the horse, and to escape coming in bn mediate contact with him the force got in all kinds of positions. Aside from the prick ings the horse received from the picks lie was uninjured. But for the precaution of Robert Bray in placing the muzzle of an old gun-barrel (which he was heating in his forge) towards the rock walL, a serious accident would have happened at Greensboro a day or two ago by the explosion of the load, ’which It had probably contained for years, as it had lain nmong n lot of old iron for uianv months >MBny yearn ago a child was killed at the 'old Htatliam Hotel, at Greensboro, by a shot from nn old musket which had previously been snapped downs of times and at last fired and did the mischief. At the same place two negro boys were once plaving ■with an old musket, which at last tired lodging the charge in the shoulder joint of the boys, ueoeemtuting the amputation of the arm at that point. Hon. H. H. Carlton arrivod nt Athens Thursday from Clarksville and gave the Banner-Watch man reporter the portion lars of the finding of the pistol with which the negro, Charles Edwards, killed Mr. Echols, on the road between Cornelia and Mt. Airy. Capt. Carlton says that Ed wards’brother came to see him in jail at Clarksville, and they were left in the cell to gether, in which was also confined another negro prisoner Echols and his brother had a long and confidential talk, during which the murderer asked his brother what he did with the pistol he gave him the night after the murder. The brother replied that he had buned it under his house near the chimney. The other prisoner overboard this confession, and thinking thut be would ingratiate himself into the confidence of the jailer, told him about it. That (officer at ones re|orted t,he fact to fh> Sheriff’, who sent parties to search under Edwards’ house for the weapon. After digging at (lie place dwuTitied the pistol was lound. It wus a tive-eliamlnTod revolver, and was empty. It was also routed with rust and covered with blood. This ts a most important dis ooxOry, and clinches tho guilt upon the murderer Cant. Carlton says that the poo pie of Habersham county assert that if Edwards is not convicted mid hanged ho will be lynched. KLOHIOA. l>*vy county will vote on the local option Hues tion Tuesday.

During the past ten years the scrip in debtedness of Leon comity has been reduced at the rate of $5,129 17 per year, ma kifcg a total reduction of $51,29s TO in the ten years.

The noon train was nn hour late at Madi son Thursday, owiug to a collision at Ella vfile, caused by a misplaced sn itch, which nut the mail train on a side track occupied by a freight against which the passenger ran, breaking off the pilot. One person, we learn, was slightly injured. The records show that during the month of September, 1886, the tonnage which en tered Pensacola was 7,089 tons.

At Fairbanks, the north-bound mixed tra'** met with an accident hereat 8 o’clock Thursday night.

Dr. George Troup Maxwell, of Marion county, read a paper before the Medical Congress, at Washington, Thursday, on ‘"The Influence of Climate in the Produc tion of Cholera Infantum.” The point he made was that the climate of Florida was much more healthful, particularly in re gard to infants, than that of Southern Cali fornia. The City Council of Tampa, and Electric Light Company, have agreed its to tho price, fiOc. a light per night for arc lights, but have failed to agree as to the length of time the contract should be made for. The city agrees to take the light for five years and the comiiany deeliues a contract for loss than ten years. A compromise will prob ably lie effected. At Ocala considerable excitement was created Friday afternoon over the cowhid ing of C. L. Bittinger, of the Runner, by Capt. McConnell, for an article in Friday’s paper seriously censuring the lawyers iii a case before the Commissioners, for tho whisky" men. Afterward he was attacked by J. H. Vereen, in the Ranncr office, and terribly lacerated by Vereen’s tongue. There is considerable complaint by citi zens of Orlando at not being able to exam ine the records of the city government, not on account of a refusal of the City Clerk to give access to the books, or to furnish any information in his power, hut from the tact that the records are taken out of the office and kept for days, and sometimes for weeks. Tho Clerk is the custodian of the records, and no one has the right to take any record out of the office.

Charley Brown (colored) has been want ed for several months m Jefferson county to answer thecrimenf uxoricide committed Inst, November. Sheriff Parrnniore, of Madison, recently received a description of him ami by the Hid of John Coffee located Charley near Mr. Coffee’s place Last, week John and W. S. Coffee anil D. H. Lanier arrested him and turned him over to Sheriff Parramore, who in turn telegniuhixlHhnrift Bird of the fact, who came for the prisoner last Thursday. He is said to Is* a dinjierate character and went heavily armed, but bit: captors took him by surprise and had no trouble with him. At Ocala some unscrupulous person origi nated the idea that he was lining a very iiiiurt act by mailing Rev. Mr. Nash and w. D. Turnley notices to leave the State at once. Tlie said notices contained the round cross bone and head sign known to the ku kiux tribe. The letters were mailed nt tho Ocala jihst office, and, not wanting these gentlemen to think they hud anything to do with it, the dealers in whisky called upon them Tuesday morning in a body, and not only convinced Messrs. Nash and Turtilcy of their ignorant-,' of the matter, but denounced j it us u piece of contemptuous rascality. Tho ! warnings were not hecdixl hr the gentlemen j and are not likely to Ik*. They will remain j in Oonla and devote all of their energies to the cans.' of teni|icran< > c. A row occurred at a negro festival on the plantation of L.

SEPTEMBER 11. 1887. having their brain fired hr frequent pita j tions of domestic wines, which were sold at the festival. It seems that Ed Burney and his brother went to the festival and there saw Tillman, and after ail had become hilarious and jolly the old feud was re newed, which ended by a thirty-eight calibre pistol being handed Ed by tsis brother. Ed fired on Tillman and the bullet took effect in the forehead, and death re suited Sunday morning. The murderers left immediately, presumably going to Quit, man, where they took the train and have not been heard of since. Campbell & Davidson’s grading force, while at work last Thursday on the grade leading down to the river on the Tampa side on the Brushy Point extension, awl about fifty yards west of the Tampa Ice Factory, imbeartlied a square pine box about seven feet long containing the skele ton of what must have tieen an exeeedingly large man. Judging from the appearance of the bones and the decayed condition of the wood, the remains had been buried fifteen or twenty years. About twenty years ago a crazy negro named Henry Johnson was drowned in the river opposite the spot where the skeleton was found, and the general supposition is that these are his remains, t hough no one is jxvsiti ve as to where he was buried. The box was only buried about two feet from the surface. One of the negro men who found the skeleton knocked ail the teeth out nnd put them in his pocket, say ing that he would use them to “houdoo some fool nigger.’’ Others, more superstitious, were somewhat frightened by the find, and refused to work longer in that vicinity. The City Council of ('rlaildo held a special meeting Thursday. Mr. Txirtigue read charges against the Mayor for a failure to enforce the ordinances. The charges and specifications were signed by President lartigue. The President also preferred anil read charges and specifications against Marshal P. C. Hodges. Mr. Mills moved that a special committee for investigation lie appointed. Mr. Ounby moved that the whole matter be referred to the Council, and u special meeting be call's! for that pur pose on next Thursday. This was carried. There was also read a communication calling attention to the manner of collecting fines in the Police Court, and asking that the docket be examined with a view to prefer ring charges against the Mayor. A number of cases were cited in which the fines were not collected in consequence of the interfer ence of the Mayor. It was referred to the special meeting of the Council. The com mittee appointed at the last meeting to in vestigate charges against the Mayor was allowed until the special meeting next Thursday to report. Ocala Free Prone The year of 1887 will be long rememliered as one of importance in the history of our little city. During that period Ocala has made more improve ments in the way of line residences and bus iness houses than any other within the last five years. So has the city —better finan ciering of monies and better streets has liecn accomplished. Several of our oldest citizens have provided themselves with ele gant homes of comfort and luxury. Among them we mention the fine residence of the De loueat brothers in the western part of the city, costing up in the thousands, and which is ii"W completed; the cozy and home-like cottage of Mr. E. T. Helveeston; the ele gant mansion of Mr. D. A. Miller on Fort King avenue; the residences of Dr. William Anderson and lawyer J W. Couch on the same principal thoroughfare: that of Mr. Wm. C. Jeffords, of Swiss architecture, on Ocklawaha avenue; the elegant home of Mr. F. E. Harris; the roomv and family-like cottage of Postmas ter Dozier, now nearing completion; the four cottages of Dr. Maxwell; four cottages of Dr. Wm. Anderson; the enlargement and now mammoth structure of Mr. J. N. Btrobbar’s former residence from a one story house to a three story edifice, and his family cottage near Magnolia street. Be sides the above there are a large number of smaller residences all over the city which have to*ii erected this year. Some of theae residences will vie with those in larger cities in elegance and cost of structure. A man, accompanied by a boy 12 years old, bearing the name of J. D.' King, nnd hailing from Pensacola, arrived in Mar anna on Friday last, and stopped at the Milton house. In the afternoon he was on the streets soliciting fire insurance at rates far below the tariff of the Southeast Asso ciation. This in itself was suspicious, and a gentleman wrote to a friend at Pensacola inquiring of the standing of the firm of King &. Green, of whom the swindler claimed to be a partner. A telegram was received on Saturday, that there was no such firm in that city, and the man King was a fraud. Early that day King hired a team and visited Greenwood, where he took applications for two risks, receiving no money, however. On Monday telegrams were received from several insurance com panies of which he asserted he was agent, all denouncing him ns a fraud and swindler, and an affidavit was sworn out against, him for soliciting insurance without license, awaiting action of the companies. He waived examination, and through the kind ness of five citizens, gave bond for SIOO to appear nt the next term of the Circuit Court. He remained at Marianna until Wednesday morning, when he skipped the town, leaving his board bill unsettled. He led Mr. Calhoun to believe he was expecting several gentlemen from the West, who were in search of lands, and engaged teams to carry them out. In connection with the business of insurance he also said he was engaged in locating colonies in West Flori da. He tiad a letter in his possession from a railroad office in Texas, recommending him as a mechanic, and worthy man, and saying his name was J. I). Hmith. He was making his way to Savannah, he said, and would procure work in the shops there. Friday he was arrested at Jacksonville. The War Feeling in France. From the AVi York So n Cnhte.
