Augusta Chronicle: It affords the Chron icle and a host pleasure to correct the erro neous announcemen • the death of Presi dent Graflin, of Baltimore, President of the Georgia Chemical Works. Supt. Christo pher Graflin, of the Navassa Guano Com pany. died last Sunday, and the error oc curred through the confusion of identity. A small cyclone, about thirty yards wide, traveling from southwest to' northeast, struck the northwest part of Sandersville a day or two ago, doing some damage to fences and chimneys. It darted down in the yards of J. G. Jernigan and C. L Duggan, and tore dow • the fences and blew a tree across Dr. 'rantlev’s buggy, and knocked off the top ol the chimney of the resideuee of Louis Cohen. A lady at Indian Spring has a hen that is quite a curiosity It has a coat of hair in ol&ce of feathers. Although it is only a chicken, still it is a wonderful freak of nature. It came from a flock of ordinary chickens, and the cause of its singular coat is a mystery. It lays, sets and hatches like other chickens, and some of its offspring is like the parent, but she has not yet suc ceeded in bringing them to maturity. Miss M. A. McLean has brought suit against the Mayor and City Council of Macon for $15,000 damages. She bases her claim on injuries received by being tripped by an exposed iron pipe on Fourth, between Walnut and Mulherry streets, last April. It was at night, and the trip threw her heavily to the sidewalk, injuring her hip, shoulder and spine. From the effects of the hurt her limbs have been paralysed, and she has been confined to her bed ever since, suffering much pain. Albany Sewn and Advert iser: There are a great many valuable woods that grow in our forests, but none of them are superior in hardness, strength and elasticity to the com mon mock orange which we prize so highly as an evergreen ornament to our yards. It is tough and elastic, properties which make it. a desirable wood for police batons. Officer T. E. .Tames wields a club made of this wood, which he prizes highly. He says It is superior to the lignum vitae, as it has a spring which renders it less brittle. At Mac-on Tuesday, VV. R. Ktringfellow, who obtained SSI 50 from W. C. Lyons’ store last week, returned to the city, and, walking into the store, remarked: “You t hought I was not coming back, did you t" “That's what we concluded,” he was an swered. “Well, here's your money,” and he counted out the cash and turned and walked out. Afterward a policeman ar rested him, and brought him to the jail and locked him up. This evening, as no war rant had been sworn out, Chief AVyley ordered his release. Montgomery Gumming, of Augusta, and now connected with the United States Civil Service Commission, at Washington, has been designated to hold the examina tions this month in Virginia, North Caro lina, (South Carolina, Georgia and Flor ida.

Mr. Cumming was ap pointed to conduct the examinations because be was the only Southerner con nected with the Commission. The safe in the Buena Vista and EUaville railroad depot at EUaville was broken open Monday night, and about SBOO abstracted i herefrom. Entrance to the building was ef fected through the front door, which w-as vary iusecureiy bolted upon the inside, it only requiring but a slight push from without to force it open. The safe fastened with a eombmation lock, and was considered secure. The door was found unlocked, which pro veil conclusively that the work was done hv a professional cracksman, or else by someone acquainted with the combination. Of the amount stolen about SHSO belonged to Morgan Mc- Michael, who had deposited it there for safe keeping until morning. The balance be longed to the railroad company and private parties. A large number of valuable notes were also carried oft along with the cash drawer. There is not the slightest clew as to who the robber was. Mr. Jewet, Capt. Millikiu's watchman at Itace Pond, in Lowndes county, had the mis fortune to take the life of a fellow man on the night of Sept. Id In making his rounds •>etween 10 and 11 o'clock at night, he went to his gate and saw what h> thought to be a man standing at the corner of the piazza, and hailed huu, when the object t hat he took to be a man made no answer, but dis appeared around the house, it being so ex t remely dark, Mr. Jewet could not see an v -1 hing, but ran to the corner where the of>- .tect was first soon and fired his pistol twice m the direction the object went. At the 'ast tire a man halloed out alioiit eight or on paces from him, “it is (Scott: oh, I am dead ” Mr. Jewet went Immediately and reported to Capt, Millikin and others what he liad done. They gathered up a crosd and went to the pla<v and found B. F. Scott lying in a dying condition with one pistol shot through his breast ami one in his nead, • itber one whicli would have proved fatal. Gov Gordon signed the following acts Tuesday, recently passed by the General Assembly: \n act to relieve James Jordan (• the caseof H. T 1 McDaniel, Governor, vs. 'Villinm \ . Gary, principal, and J W. Gary and James Jordan reruritbs; an act to amend section (!1.'!8 of the (Axle; an act to define the -ffense of blackmail, to prescribe a penalty therefor, and for other purposes; an act to fix the coin|xsns.ition of the (sheriiT of the Supreme Court, and to provide for the manner for his payment; an act to ap propriate $27 IS for the payment of execu tive warrant No. 57, issued by the Governor in favor of Janies H.iVorrill for his salary as Solicitor General of Chattahoochee Circuit; an act to amend the charter of the Commer cial Bank of Augusta; an act to niter and amend art of (let. 12. providing for regis tration of voters of Telfair county; an act to change the time of holding the fall term of the Superior Court of (Jarko county. A resolution for the relief of Henry J. Lamar, of the county of Bi bb, was approved also. It looks as t hough the success of the Pied mont Exposition is to have strong opposi tion in the matter of transportation facili ties. The Atlanta fjtreet Railroad Com- i pany, controlling all of the lines running to j the grounds, has raised its fare from 50. to I 10c., and die passenger trains of the Itich ; ninnd and Danville railroad will not be I allowed to come within nearly a half mile | of the union passenger depot, which is the I centre of !1..- city. These trains to the I grounds by the Richmond and Danville will j have to pul! lip at tbe West Point depot, a • walk of fifteen or twenty minutes from the | union depot, l'he Georgia railroad controls j tiio right of way into tiie depot, and Maj. j Green is of l.he opinion Ihat there would Is’ I great danger iu someone being killed if a crowd was allowed to gather about the ! depot. The management i* trying to induce Col. Peters, of the Street Car Company, to leave his rates where they were, but so far lias not succeeded, and an effort is being made to convince Maj. Green, that there would be no danger in allowing the passen ger trains of tiie Richmond and Danville to run to the depot. Monday night soon after the train left Brunswick, Conductor Dick Harris, who was in charge, went through the coaches collecting tickets. In the sleeping car he came upon a gentleman who handed him a pass. The conductor read the pass, aud, as is the custom, made a qiemoranda of it. It was issued to a member of the Georgia leg islature, but for some cause Conductor Har ris suspected that the man holding it was not the one to whom it was issued, and un der promise to return the ticket the next morning, retained it. All during the night the conductor’s mind was upon tiie ticket. He remembered having handled it bofore, but could not recall tiie place, At Locust Grove a member of the t Legislature, whom Conductor Harris knew, boarded the train, and said the man holding tiie pass was not tiie legislator named on it. The pass was taken up and the traveler asked to pay sll 20 fare. He asserted that he did not have the money, and immediately after tiie train reached Atlanta the conductor caused his uriy.st. The passenger induced the officer to bring him into tiie city, where he secured the money and paid the fare. FLORIDA. The cattlemen’s meeting will be held at Arcadia ou Oct. 15. Branford is about to commence another boom. Several persons are contemplating building soon. A pension for service in the Mexican war has been given to James Hartshorn, of St. Augustine, and a re-issue to Samuel B. Hitchcock, of Etoniah. The First National Bank of Sanford has been authorized to commence business with a capital of $50,000. S. H. Rand is the President and J. F. Forster the Cashier. Prohibition is creating very little excite ment in DeSoto county. There is only one barroom in that county; the proprietor in tends closing, as it is not paying. Prohibi tionists will have a “walk-over.” The water works contract at Tampa has been duly signed by the Mayor and Coun cilman, and work will commence as soon as possible. It is calculated that the reduction in insurance alone will more than pay for the water supply. Dr. R. J. Kendrick, dosed a contract last Saturday with Mr. Cutting, now at I’alatka, to sink a six inch artesian well near his residence at Anthony. The ma chinery will be shipped at once, and work is expected to begin this week. The estimated cost Is $3,800. The Governor has made the following ap pointments: Ed Gale Quina and Albert Pierce, County Commissioners of Escambia county; Maj. TV. F. Williams, Commissioner of the Provisional Municipality of Pensa cola; D. G. Harvell, Clerk of the Court of Liberty county. About a month ago the County Commis sioners removed the polling place from Lavvtey to a school house in the woods. A protest, signed by numerous citizens, was sent up to the Governor, who made some representations to the Board, which caused them very promptly to rescind their action. H. C. Woodfin, a conductor on the South Florida Kail wav at Owensboro Sunday evening, put a negro off the train and turned to go iu the car, when the negro shot him in the thigh, also snapping the re volver twice in his face. The darkey is be ing pursued by a posse of armed men. The wounded man is doing well. At Chattahoochee, Monday, Isaac W. Brown, the wife murderer from Putnam county, was admitted to the insane asylum. He seems quiet and speaks of the killing in an indifferent way, and expresses no re grets. Upon his arrival he told Capt. Mose ley, superintendent, that he proposed ob serving the rulos of the institution, and would give no trouble. Clifford A. Lopez, a young man who has lived in (St. Augustine nearly all his life, and who is well known in that place, has been adjudged insane. He is a nice looking man, apparently about 25 years old. He is not dangerous, but Is continually talking to himself, if alone, or to the bystanders. One of bis hallucinations is that everyone is trying to kill him. He will be taken to the State Insane Asylum. M. Bamber, of the United States Light house Construction Department, has just concluded the erection of the Mosquito Inlet lighthouse. This work has been going on more than two years, and Mr. Bamber says he has been there all the time, seldom being away more than a few hours at a time. This light will be shown for the first time on Nov. 1, everything being in readiness for the keeper. Who the keeper will be is some what uncertain, there being several appli cants. All anticipate a lively season in Charlotte Harbor. The prospect certainly looks bright, and ought to look so, when overy room (60) in the Cleveland Hotel (Na tional), the Punta Gorda (250) the Ht. James (150), the Shultz (50), have already been engaged for various terms during the coming winter. Some have engaged their rooms for a month, some for less, and some for a longer time. There are quite a num ber of hotels and boarding houses at Cleveland, Trabue, Hickory Bluff, Pine Island, and Myers, that will have all thev can do. i • On Friday night last a teiegrain was re ceived at Chattahoochee from the Sheriff of Leon county to arrest one .Jack Ferguson, who, lie thought, wus on the night train. Upon the arrival of the train. P. J. Mur phy, with tho assistance of Mr. Atwater, arrested Ferguson, who confessed to ha ving stolen some money from a ilsherman with whom ho was employed. He had about st(>, which was the amount stolen, less the cost of his ticker from Tallahassee to Chattahoo chee. Ferguson says that he is a Canadian and came from Montreal ulxuit six weeks since. He, wit li the money, was remanded to Deputy Sheriff Hopkins, of Loon county, and taken back to Tallahassee. The State Farmers’ Alliance and Uo ojior attve Union, organized at Marianna oti Tuesday with llfty-three delegates pivs ent, representing the following counties: Holmes, Walton, Calhoun, Liberty, AVanh iugton, Jackson. Citrus. Bradford, Levy, Duval, Madison and Gadsden.

The close of the day on Friduy, or rather at midnight;, saw the closing of the saloons at Gainesville. There has been an immense trade for the past few days in the jug busi ness. Many u l ull jug went out. of town and to sovcrul houses in tlie city, because men thought they must have the “critter" close on hand. One man stowed away twenty - five gallons. One man sold over $7OO worth in the last t wo days. After dark on Friday night a motly crowd of colored men gathered at the saloons and had mi “O-be joyful" time. The band turned out, and the first piece played was a funeral dirge. I<'. Bayer on Saturday tendered to the Col lector of Revenue the money for a license, * THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, OCTOBER 6, !887. which, of course, was refused. The attor neys for Bni’er have been preparing for the past two or three days the necessary papers for a writ of mandamus, which will he served, and then the ease will be argued be fore Judge Finley. At Ijawtey Saturday night tho south bound train on the Florida Railway and Navigation railroad, found a trestle on lire near Highland, at mile post s!t. The train men stopped, put out the lire and blocked up the t restle so as to make it temporarily safe. The section foreman, J. T. Yates, was notified met proceeded with his crew to the spot, arriving an hour or so after mid night. They found Mr. Burroughs already there, and the two men with the hands at once set to work to rejiair damages. The sills were badly burned about the middle of the trestle, anil hud to l<e shoved up with ties cribbed up under neath. While engaged in this work Mr. Yates noticed a white object fluttering in the darkness, and on approaching ho found it to be a niece of pa tier fastened to a stake. It was addressed to Mr. Phillips. It was w ritten m a disguised hand, partly written, partly printed, and the purport of it was that the railroad company was notified to begin paying for the cattle killed by them, ten days being given them in which to tegin, otherwise every tram would lie wrecked that passed. The writer declared that he had 300 guns to back him. A MAGUEY PLANTATION. An Enterprise in Orange JCounty- Properties of the Plant. from the Orlando (Fla.) Reporter. Perhaps but lew people have heard that Mr. John A. Pierce, of this city, has started a maguey plantation in Orange county, and among those few there are, perhaps, fewer who know what maguey is good *for. We will endeavor to enlighten them on these points. The maguey plant (pronounced mah gay-ee) Agave Americana, very much re sembles our common century plant, with the exception, perhaps, that it does not at tain as large a size. The chief characteris tics of the maguey plant is that it produces the celebrated pulque, or octi, a favorite drink with the Mexicans. Pulque is ob tained from the young and tender flower bud, which is of great size and quick growth. This stem or bud is broken or cut off, and a sort of cup hollowed out, where juice can collect. This juice is gathered in bags made of hog skin, and left to ferment for several days. Pulque is a mild intoxi cant, something on the order of beer, but when it is distilled it produces a frightfully strong and intoxicating drink called mescal, which is said to tie ten times worse than “forty-rod Jersey lightning.” Let it not be supposed for a moment, how ever, that Mr. Pierce intends to start a pulque farm, and all “wets' 1 who prick up their oars at the announcement will be dis appointed. Aside from the peculiar proper ties mentioned above, the maguey plants produce some of the finest fibre in tiie world. It is for this purpose I hat Mr. Pierce proposes to introduce this plant into Orange county, and he deserves great credit for be ing the first to do so. Mr. D. P. Burdon, who has become known all over the country through his invention of fibre-cleaning machinery, highly ap proves of this project, and vvill give the plant a thorough trial with his apparatus. From a plantation on Indian river Mr. Pierce has secured 2,200 maguey plants and has set them out on his place, which is sit uated six or eight miles west, of here, near the South Apopka region. The maguey seems to thrive liest on light, well drained soils, and can stand moderate frosts, like the century plant. Mr. Pierce plants them 3 feet apart each way, thus putting about 5,000 to the acre. His plants range from 6 inches to 2 feet in height, and be paid 10c. apiece for them. They require little or no fertilizer, and no cultivation beyond keep ing the weeds down aud the ground moder ately loose. It is doubtful if an acre ran be made to yield so much fibre as when sot in maguey plants. Tiie fibre, which is obtained from the leaves, is of a fine, silky nature, stronger than sisal hemp and almost as fine as wax. At three years old the leaves of the plant attain a size suitable for use. Maguey leaves often attain a length of five feet and a breadtlyof six inches. Such a leaf would produce at least half a pound of clean fibre, and when one figures out a number of leaves on a single plant, and the number of plants grown on an acre, some idea may be formed of its enormous productiveness. Mr. George Young, who lives near Or lando, has also decided to give the maguey plant a trial, and has started a plantation of them. The plants are propagated by suckers, which hardly ever fail to take root, and grow if planted oil suitable land. ENCYCLOPEDIAS. i.formation for Those Who Are Think ing’ of Turning Out a Few. From the Xeio York Mail and Express. “How much does it cost to produce an encyclopediaf” was asked of au expert, and ho said: “That depends upon tiie method pursued in making it. The “American Encyclo pedia” cost S.VXt,OOO before a penny was realized. The maps and engravings in the work cost about $11.5,000. Tiie best litho graphers were employed, and many of the pictures cost hundreds of dollars. ” “How is an encyclopedia model" “ Well, usually alter the method employed in compiling dictionaries. Editors are en gaged for different departments. There is the religious editor, the medical editor, the j scientific editor and the editor on miscel laneous subjects. The best, authorities in the land are chosen to edit the work, and large salaries are paid In the process of compilation an alphabetical rule is observed. The old encyclopedias, such as Chambers' aud the “Encyclopedia Britaimmcanmo,” are followed as regards the subjects they treat of. The modern encyclopedia, how ever, has very much of a newspaper flavor. It. is lat-sed upon the principle of American journalism. It is timely and intended to hit the spirit of the age. The biographies of prominent men are made an especial feature. The American Cyclopedia is the greatest undertaking in tiie art of book-making ever attempted in this country. Charles A. Dana, of the Sun, was and is the editor-in-chief, lie fixes the prices imid to contributors. He knows the value of every word ttiat is written. 1f an article is handed in by a specialist and another come in from an obscure professional man in any science ho chooses the test.” “How much do the contributors to ency clopedias make f” “Generally we pay magazine rates—that is, $lO per 1.000 words. Many of the arti cles, however, cost far more titan that. There are some contributors who receive SSOO or SI,OOO fora short article. They possess exclusive information, however. Dr. tshrady, who is the authority on cancer and editor of tiie Medical Ilecord , furnished us exclusive information on that subject and on many others connected with surgery. Of course, a specialist is paid far more than an ordinary writer. Often a page costs us $.500. Then, again, we run page after page at the cost of S2O. Many of tiie writers are men who hold the foremost rank in litera ture. Consequently they demand large prices for their work.” “How much money is invested inencyclo podius,'” “That is a difficult question to answer. Tbe American Cyclopedia lias sold very well. Wo have run into the millions on sales, but it should te remembered that encyclopedias are never sold in bulk. The installment plan is always adopted. Our contributors pay for each volume us it is issued." “In case a volume is lost, can it te dupli cated "That dejiends on who tho loser maybe. A regular contributor, one who has teen buying volume after volume for years, can certainly lie accommodated. His name is down on our books, and we recognize him as a patron of the house. A genuine set of encvelop->dias cost a groat deal of money, about $l5O to $200; consequently they aro sold in installments and the purchaser is protected. CLOTHING. FALL 1887.
