6 ■GEORGIA AND FLORIDA. NEWS OF THE TWO STATES TOLD IN PARAGRAPHS. Burglars Ransack a House Near Sylva nia, but Fail to Get Much Valuable Booty A Mob Visits a Negro’s House Near Cuthbert During the Night and Kills Him. GEORGIA. Talbotton is to have a Kink. C. W. Kim brough will conduct it as a private institu tion. A Montgomery company have asked the city Council of Ameneus for a franchise permitting them to construct a street rail way. William Ruan. the largest export cotton buyer in Hawkinsville. died at the Scarboro House on Thursday night of lad week. His death was caused by hemorrhage of the lungs, and he was confined to his bed only a few days' _ A maimed negro, who gives his name as Randall Claiborne, is in the suburbs just north of Columbus in a very helpless condi tion. For several days he has tieen lying on the porch of a vacant house. He has only one foot, and the other appears to be so Jrost bitten that he cannot walk. The three negroes who were arrested at Americus on the churge of forging tinio tickets on the Buena Vista and Ella ville railroad were given a trial yesterday. Two of them were acquitted, while the third, Anderson Murray, was bound over in the sum of SIOO to the Superior Court. On Sunday night of last week a party of drunken negroes engaged in a row on the “Shoo Fly” train, on the Central railroad, ■while it stopped at Rocky Ford, and a num ber of shots were fired, two taking effect in the persons of two of the participants. One of them was also terribly cut with a razor in addition to being shot. The party who did the shooting and cutting escaped. After years of patience and labor, I. Branch, of Adairsville, has completed two machines; one a mowing machine for clover, the other a clover header. The former does away with the shuttle movement in a scythe blade, so common on all mowing machines. Knives working on the principle of scissors are substituted, which cut smoothly and even. The other machine takes off the top of the clover, which is thrashed, and saves the stem crop, which is considered a great economy. At Macon and in Bibb county the drought is dreadful. For several (lays past the weather has been cloj* and sultry, and peo ple have not been able to rest at night on account of the suffocating heat. Cool breezes spring up during the night, but the morning sun brings the same old dead heat. McElmmeny’s mill has almost stopped run ning on account of low water, and other mills complain of the same trouble. Crops and grass are burning up for the lack of rain. If the drought is not broken in a few days the cotton crop will be done. AVarrant Clerk Harrison, of the Execu tive department, was asked Wednesday what effect the Governor’s absence would have upon bills passed by the General As sembly, the question being put in conne - thin with the constitutional five day’s time allowed him to sign bilb. Capt. Harrison said his absence would not uffect the matter at all, that if any bills were passed during his absence, they could not be delivered to the Governor until he re turned, and he would then have the usual time in which to consider them. He sup posed that the bills would be retained by the authorities of the General Assembly until his return. There was no hitch, or delay or danger at all in the absence of tue Governor at this tune. Gov. Gordon is expected to return home on Tuesday of next week. Rachel May. a whits girl of fourteen sum mers, was arrested at Johnsonvllle Tuesday, charged with laieeny. At a preliminary trial she was oonvictsa upon evidence purely circumstantial, and upon failure to give bond for $l5O was taken to Baxley for im prisonment in the county jai'. to await trial m the Superior Court. Tlio people of Bax ley had never heard of the girl Wore but felt that it would be an outrage to allow ono so young and fair to be incarcerated in their midst, and especially upon grounds so un substantial. The news, of her arrest and presence in Baxley created considerable ex citement, and in a very short time fifteen of the most prominent citizens of Baxley vol unteered to stand the Inind and set the vic tim free. Several of the lawyers who were professionally incapacitated' to serve as bondsmen volunteered to defend her when the trial occurred. Monday morning a special train was speeding from Macou*townrd Americus to beat the 6a. m. train from Albany. It bore some of the magnates of the road. About two miles from Americus section master Thomas Gresham lives, and about that hour he had started his hands oil a pole car toward Andersonville. He heard the train as be entered the cut and jumping off the car started ahead with a flag, telling his hands to reverse anil go bock; as he reached the curve in tho cut he saw the ap proaching train and flagged it down. Tho engineer blew his whistle and reversed tho breaks, but as he rounded the curve, ho saw the pole oar across the track, and the hands trying to lift it off. It was impossible to check up, and the engine struck the car tearing it to pieces. Tne negroes got out of the way. No oue was hurt and the special reached Americus a few minutes ahead of the regular morning train. On the plantation of Zab Hheppard, five miles southeast of Cuthbert. a tenant house occupied by Adam Mallory and family, was surrounded Tuesday night •by a body of armed and masked ’men, who fired upon it, and in the exit of it* occupants, old man Adams was killed by eight bullets piercing his body. One of bis sons was shot in the head, and a daughter in the knee, but neither of these is seriously wounded. The others escaped unhurt. It is supposed from the notion of the mob that the lives of tho whole family were to have beou taken. The origin of the trouble grew out of the diffi culty Buck (Smith and sou had with Ran so Mallory, a son of Adam, a few days ago, in which Mr. Smith, was depu tized to arrest the negro on a warrant for ussitult aud battery on his son. The negro resisted arrest and was shot by Sniftb. The affair was settled botweon the parties themselves and no further difficulty was ap prehended. but two of the negro’s brothers from Quitman countv went over and created more bud blood by their threats. On Mon day night a gang of what was supposed to lie the negro’s friends fired upon Smith’s house but did no damage. Smith’s friends, for no one else but his friends would have taken part, must have found out that tho Mal lory negi'Oi were the persons, or suspected it, und they organized and did the lawless deed as above reported. Tho coroner's jury revealed nothing new. On Sunday evening of last week u daring robbery was committed at the residence of John Frawley, about four miles north of Sylvatiia. In the absence of Mr. Frawley two white men entered his dwolling and broke open three trunks that were in tho house, evidently in search of money, us nothing else was taken. They found and carried away about S3O in ou*h and a nobs for SIOO. Just before they finished their depredations Mr. Frawley arrived, and, en tering tlio yard, heard them ill the house; but thinking it was liissister, who lived with liim, thought nothing of it until he went to enter, when ho found one trunk m the yard broken open and tho eon tents scattered. Going around to the front of the bouse he staited to enter und tailed out to the parties to know what was meant. Just at that time the two men came out, and meeting Mr. Frawley face to face, one of them struck him a blow with a club, felling him to the ground, and they passed on, making their laeupe It was a little after twilight and was growing dark at Uie tune, and Mr. Frawley was unable to recognize them, but be ooulu sa sufficiently Pi tm satisfied that hath were white men Hi* sister had left him, without hi* know I edge, the saliv- evening and gone off and married. Kite left n trunk in which was a oali bag c*r<naming $Ei Tbs robbers had broken open this trunk and thrown the bag on the floor, but failed,to discover tho value of it, and this was saved. FLORIDA. J. Park Todd is now the editor of the En terprise Hr mid. George Osborne, of Francis, has been granted an increase of pension. At Lake City the returns are all in und give a majority of 352 tor tho “dry” ticket. Tne Macon and Florida Air Line survey ing party arrived at Lake City Wednesday. Volusia county will have sixty public schools the uext term, which begins next month. The Orlando Novelty Works have had a neat Ism erected on their premises near tho railroad. Anew furniture store has been opened in the Robinson block, at Orlando, by Wine gar & Hepburn. A Savannah man was in DeLand last week prospecting for a location of a branch house for grain, etc. Negotiations are about closed with a gen tleman from Kentucky to plant a twenty acre tobacco farm at Bartow this season. The framework of Taylor's new two-story building on Church street, Orlando, is up and the building will be rapidly completed. The combined State and county tax levy in Alachua for the present year is only 10f£ mills, a reduction of soveral mills from last year. At a meeting held after the services at the Catholic church of Orlando last Sunday it was decided to build a parochial resi dence. The South Florida railroad now has three men in the North aud West distributing five tons of maps, circulars and other adver tising matter. The election in Brevard was quiet, and the county goes ‘■dry’ by over 200 majority, it is estimated. Titusviilo gives 24 majority and La Grange 50 majority against selling. DeLand gets the largest appropriation from the county school fund this year. Tho appropriation is $1,200. Daytona and Orange City come next with appropriations of SI,OOO. Thousands of peach trees will be set in tho vicinity of Keuka this season. The post two years nave demonstrated the success of this luscious fruit in the sand hills of Keuka and Pleasant Valley. Keuka has one of the very liest built school houses In the county. It was built by subscription and is now out of debt. It was opened on Sept. 1, and has twenty-five pupils in attendance, with promise of more as the season rolls by. The Methodist Episcopal congregation at Grove *Park, is preparing to build a neat church, costing from SI,OOO to $1,200. Lum bor is now nearly all on the ground, and the foundations are being prepared. Rev. James Schofield is the pastor. During the present summer Orange county’s Board of Health has expended $1,684 14 to prevent the introduction of yel low fever. The county commissioners ap propriated only SI,OOO and where the excess went to will be a subject for inquiry. The sureties ou the new bond of Marshal Hodges, of Orlando, have withdrawn thoir names, and that officer is now without a bond. Officer Jenkins is serving as tempo rary marshal until Mr. Hodge* gives a bond which will bo approved by the City Coun cil. The post office at Claire’s, Leon county, and Saint Aria, Polk county, have been dis continued because there were no candidates for the position of postmaster Hannibal D. Pierce lias been appointed postmaster at Hypoluxo, Dade county, vice A. W. Gar nett. Tho DeLand military company expects tc be out in complete military uniform next Thursday. The uniform is not a handsome one, as it consists of only a fatigue jacket and a cap, but the boys will try and put up with it until next winter, when they expect to get a handsome dress uniform. There was no injunction served on the builders of the bridge across the St. John’s river, at Keuka. It was simply an order from the head of the road riot to commence work. It is not known when work will bo commenced, neither is it a certainty that the bridge will cross at Rolleston. The City Council of Tampa accepted the proposition of Jeber & Boardman, of Bruns wick, to put in their system of water works, and also the proposition of the Tampa Elec tric Light and Power Comoany to light the city with electricity. Thus two more steps forward in the march of progress have been taken. Tho registration of Orange county, which closed Tuesday, shows a most remarkable in crease for the past ten months, as is seen by the following list: Orlando 340, Sanford 199, Oviedo 18, Chuluota 8, Maitland 44, Sylvan Lake 22, Geneva 7, Gabriella 16, Long wood 31, Apopka 34, Dan’s School House 88, Zellwood 15; making a total in crease of 822. There have been some idle reports current to the effect that some of the English resi-. dents of Orange county object to taking the oath of allegiance to the national aud State governments which is required before registration. Supervisor Robinson informs the Sentinel that these rumors are utterly without foundation. The only man who has hesitated to take tho oath was a minis ter, who thought that in case of war he would be bound to fight. Upon being assured to the contrary he took the oath without further questioning. On Friday last, M. P. Mace, architect and contractor, received by telegraph nn order to enlarge the Harlan hotel, ut Lake Helen, by the addition of about 48 feet to the north end. A similar addition wns made to the south end a year ago. This improvement will complete tho design and make the Har lan ono of the largest and handsomest hotels in South Florida. There will be, as now, wide verandas two stories in height, mid ex tending around three sides, affording fine facilities for promenading and enjoying the delightful air and unrivaled beauty or the landsctqx). The entire length of the build ing will he about 170 feet, and tlio width 75 feet, beside the large back buildings, which contain the kitchen, servants' rooms, pan tries, etc. The West Florida Immigration Associa tion was organized at DeFuniak Wednes day and the following officers were elected’ President, C. C. Banncld; Vico President, Hon. B. S. Liddou; Secretary, T. F. Mc- Gourin: Treasurer, John Neel. Funds were provided for advertising. Vigorous, sys tematic work will be commenced im mediately. Tho iquestion of uniting with the State organization was discussed at somb length. It was decided that, by reason of the remoteness from Jacksonville, both as to distance and business relations, .submission to the Stato association would be impracticable. The secretary, however, was instructed to write the StaUeSocretarv, informing him of tile action and expressing the desire of this association to maintain friendly relations and to co-operate in all matters. G. A. Carmichael, a saloon-keeper at Oeulu, made an assault on C. L. Bittinoer Wednesday. Mr. iiittinger was leaning over talking to a party, when Carmichael wulkod up unseen and struck him, without uttering a word, with a heavy raw-hide cane. The first blow was over the left eye, und was delivered with such force us to stun Mr. Btttiiigor, and was immediately fol lowed by a soeoml blow over the shoulders. The two men then clinched, Mr. Bittinger throwing lfis assailant on tho stone stop* of the court house and disarming him, and could have killed him easily, but let him uji and returned Ins weapon and gavehun a talk that he will long roilininber.

CAUGHT IN THE COUNTRY. Tho Negro Who Assaulted Officer Johnson in Jail. From the Macon (oa.) Telegraph. The name of the negro who dealt Officer Johnson a ringing blow with his own club Monday night is Ruffin Rhodes, and he was brought into town yesterday. It seems that on Tuesday afternoon after Messrs. Hodnett, Jones and Birdsong lost him under the vine* in the ditch the search teas taken up by a party headed by Mr. Frank Smith The party tracked him over the country, through woods and fields until late in the afternoon and then lost track of him. Then Mrs. Smith saw him going over a hill and reported it to tho party, who took a fresh start and went in pursuit. When they first saw him he wus going through Mr. John Herring’s field and they called on Mr. Herring to stop him. The party were so far off that Mr. Herring did not quite un derstand what they said, and, supposing it was a bear he was called upon to stop, he dropped his plow handles and gathered a large rock. It was then that he saw a negro breaking for a skirt of woods near by, When tne party came up a search was made in the woods, but the fugitive could not be found. About an hour before the sun went down the searching jiarty stopped ut Mr. Her ring’s house. Mr. Herring and his family came up at the same time, the family hav ing gone to the Held in the early part of the evening. On reaching the house they found that the door had been burst open, and on entering everything was tofssy-turvy. Tho trunks had been opened and the contents scattered about the floor, and oven the fur niture had Itoen broken. It then flashed upon them that the house had been visited by. the man they were after. Although the party were worried out with the long search they now became active and a search was made for the negro. Other neigh bors were called in and soon quite a party of men had gathered about the house. A look into the house revealed no trace of tho negro except that he had been there and demolished everything. Then a thought struck one of the party that possibly he might be in the loft. A ladder was pro cured and placed against the galdo end Of tho house, and one of the bravest of the party, Mr. Frank Smith, ascended. A plank was ripped off, and the negro was seen lying in the loft. He told the intruder that if he came in he would kill him. Mr. Smith went down the ladder, and in a short time the cold barrel of a shotgun was thrust through the hole, and a voice asked the negro to surren der. He swore he wouldn’t, and re in >ated his threat to kill the man who came in. There was a loud report and the negro, with a howl of pain, sprang to the opening and declared that he would whip the entire party. Mr. William Simmons held a gun in about the position of “carry arms,” and in a twinkling the negro had shot out a heavy plank from the loft through the opening. It struck the stock of tne gun held by Mr. Simmons with such force as to break the stock short off. If the gun had had not broken the force of the plonk it would no doubt have killed Mr. Simmons. This decided tho party and they determined to take him dead or alive. The negro, in the meantime, had left the loft and deicended into the house. The crowd rushed in upon him and he was soon overpowered, though he fought manfully. He gave up. and said he would go with them without further trouble. He was found to have been shot in the hip, and an effort was made to wash off and dress the wound. By this time it was dark, and it was necessary to have a lamp. The fugitive knocked the lamp out of the hand of the negro who held it, and would have given the meu more trouble but for their determined effort to hold him. His bauds were tied after a desjierate struggle, aud a trace chain placed around his neck and tied. A stake was then driven securely in the ground, and the negro, find ing that he was firmly bound, gave no more trouble. He was guarded all night, and yesterday morning he was placed in a wagon aiid brought to Macon. The follow ing constituted the party; John Herring, Frank Smith, Madison Latson, William Simmons and John Bull. THE DUKE OF MARLBOROUGH. Reticent as to His Private Affairs, But Talks Freely on Ireland. From the New York Herald. Boston, Bept, 13. —His Grace the Duke of Marlborough, arrived in Boston last night from Newport and drove directly to the Brunswick Hotel, where he will remain during his stay here, W hen a reporter callod on him he was re ceived graciously, but the Duke declined to talk about his reception at Newport or his future actions on the ground that it was nobody’s business what tho Duke of Marl borough did in private life. lie talked fully and freely about Ireland and the Irish question, however, and in reply to questions said; THE GOVERNMENT’S GREAT DIFFICULTY. “The great difficulty of the government at tho present time consists in the fact that they have to administer a coercion act which in the very nature of things—in tho the very nature of countries—must always be an unpopular remedy. Whether the coercion act was alisolutely necessary is, in my mind, a very grave question. 1 think myself tliat when Lord Salisbury took office there were two courses open to him. One was to deal with the Irish question on the lines of the old tory policy, which was the jxilicy of coercion, and tne other was to leave the Irish question und to deal with the equally, if not much more, important sub ject of domestic reforms in England. THE LIBERALS’ LEGACY. “The Lilieral party left a long programme of reforms which had long been wished for by the people of England, and in that pro gramme none were more important than the subjects of county reform, incidents of local taxution, London municipal reform and all those cockney questions which are in a chaotic stato of transition in England. “My own opinion is that if Lord Salis bury had, in conjunction with the support ers outside his party in Parliament, elabo rated a scheme of English reform, he might have carried universally needed and iin 1 sir tan t measures which would have placed tho party before the country’ in a totally differ ent light to that which it occupies at the present time. Lord Salisbury decided, tiowever, to attack the Irish question in the first instance. He was, no doubt, prompted to this course by the notorious acts of law lessness which have always been of persis tent occurrence in Ireland in the relations of landlords to tenants, and he was no doubt pressed to adopt this course by the Irish landlord element, who have always been howling for help and protection from the torj’ Prune Minister. SALISBURY’S MISTAKE. “I think myself that he allowed himself to bo drawn into a vicious circle, and then the more prudent course would lutvo been to allow the state of things which existed in Ireland ut the time of his accession to ma ture before he attempted any legislation with regard to the land or the strengthen ing or the criminal law. “I was myself in Ireland a year ago this autumn, und as far as I could judge from travel through the wilt Is of Connemara and other portions of the west,thn disturbance of the peace and the difference* Ist wren land lords and tenants were of a local and only <*■ casional character. A dispiritimi seemed to be abroad, Ixith among the tenants and the landlords, to come to some adjustment of tho difficulties which have tieen cuused in the matter of statutory right by the great fall of prices. WIIAT SHOULD HAVE KEEN DONE. "I believe myself that though disorder cotihl not have been wholly avoided, and acta of harshness on the part of iaudloid* would, In Individual instance* have eauswl ' difficulty—l believe. I say, (that the am eminent might well have left the whole ! question of Ireland to sharp for a while and have turned thatr attention to a universal and couatruoMv* programme of English re- i PS ‘The position which I/ird Salisbury's government now occupies is one of con siderable difficulty. He lias embarked upon a course which ostensibly is intended to maintain a Parliamentary union in the two countries. In order to accomplish this la? has been compelled to pass a coercion act, which cannot lie jiopular even among his own supporters. THE LAND BILL. “In order to mitigate the unpopularity which this act has undoubtedly' thrown upon his government, be has forced through Parliament a laud measure which in its con ception is infinitely more radical and more completely subversive of the right of prop erty, as a lawyer would look at it, than Mr. Gladstone’s land act of 1882. He has de prived the Irish landlord, by act of Parlia ment, of a portion of that statutory right which was decreed as an unalienable pos session to tho Irish landlord for a period of fifty year-s by Mr. Gladstone’s act of 1882, anil He has not offered one penny of corn ponsation for this measure of Parliamentary spoliation. We must leave it to lawyers and jurists to judge of his wisdom of the measure, but that it will in any way in Ire land mitigate the unpopularity of his coer cion act it would be ridiculous to suppose. coercion’s workings. “With regard to the successful working of the coercion act which lifts been passed and of the policy of suppressing the Nntional League, it' is perfectly impossible to say how Far Lord Salisbury’s govern ment ' may be successful in repressing the popular ferment. The forces allied against the government are undoubtedly strong. Not only the Irish element in Parliament and the popular feeling in Ireland itself are very strong forces to contend against, hut the hand and glove support which the Irish partv are now receiving from Mr. Gladstone and his supporters wiil tend very largely to weaken the hand of any government which endeavors to administer the law in the face of the passions of the Irish people. A HARD PROBLEM. “The problem lias become an extremely difficult one. The majority in Parliament is, to a certain extent, homogeneous. What the feeling of the eleetors-at-lnrge in Eng land and Scotland with regard to the pres ent government is it is absolutely impossible to say.” Speaking of the American sympathies with the home rule cause, his grace con tinued: “The Americans suffor in more than one respect from a misapprehension of the analogy between tho constitutions of the two nations. America, with its great ag gregation of States, is something like the vast continent of Europe with all its dif ferent nations. New York and California, for instance, are widely separated, and their respective needs differ very much. But tho relations between England and Ireland must be as close as those between Kent and Middlesex. ONE COMMON POLICY NEEDED. “It is impossible to conceive of two sepa rate financial and commercial policies in England and Ireland which would not be disastrous and conflicting to both, particu larly to Ireland In many other ways the needs of Ireland and England are so similar that while home rule in some form is a ne cessity, which cannot be ignored, yet there cannot safely be two separate and widely divergent policies for Great Britain and Ireland.” A Joke on a Lawyer. From the Marietta ( Ga .) Journal. Lawyers are always telling jokes on each other. In a crowd the other day we heard a good one on oue of our ablest and most successful attorneys. It was stated that at a Justice Court the aforesaid lawyer had made a long, loud aud energetic speech. The attorney in reply deliberately started off by’saying- “May it please the court, my brother who has' just preceded me in his noisy and ranting speech, reminds me of a story 1 heard in which a fanner had lost a good many chickens nightly by some thief. He locked his chicken house, chinked up the cracks, and still the chick ens would disappear. Determined to catch the thief he hung a large bell ovor the chicken house to which he attached a rope and then circled the chicken house with it, so that any one coming in contact with the rope would l ing the bell. Seated in his house at night with a double barrel shotgun across his lap, he didn’t have long to wait before the bell tapped. The farmer has tened to shoot the intruder, but he was in visible. He returned to the house and again waited when the boll rang out the second time, clear and strong. The farmer rushed out and discovered that a ’possum had climbed the rope. He waited a minute to see the result, when the ’possum looked up at the bell and exclaimed; “Well, if you haven’t got the biggest mouth, the longest tongue and the least brains of anything I ever saw in my life.” MEDICAL.
