6 GEORGIA AM) FLORIDA. NEWS OF THE TWO STATES TOLD < IN PARAGRAPHS. The Convention at Atlanta to Unite the Various Churches Called Meth odists Under One Head—A Negro’s Hand Mutilated in a Cotton Gin in Effingham County—A Sensation at Grovetown. GEORGIA. A 300-pound lump of brown hematite ore was dug out of the property of H. D. Coth ran. at Rome, Wednesday. It is estimated that the passenger conduc tors on the trains between Montgomery and Macon travel each about 4,500 miles per month. Next Tuesday is the time for convening of Telfair Superior Court, but it is quite probable that ft will be adjourned, from the fact that the new court house will not be ready for use. The fall meeting of the Episcopalian con vocation for the Savannah district will be held in Brunswick on Oct. 19 and 30. Rev. Thomas Boone, rector of Christ church, Sa vannah, and dean of the convocation, will preside. The Crown cotton mill at Dalton is now crowded to its utmost capacity with orders from all points of the compass. If the busi ness continues to increase as it has during 1887, additional machinery will shortly be required. Albany has not quarantined against Tampa. Fla., in which city yellow fever un fortunatelv prevails as an epidemic, but it has been deemed wise to prohibit the im portation of lish and oysters from that point into the former city. Dawson AVtcs: Would it not be a good idea for the City Council to make an ordi nance prohibiting pleasure riding on the Habbatii) The Sabbath is a day of rest, and the poor old overworked horses have as much right to it ns the barbers. The first passenger train over the Ameri cus, Preston and Lumpkin railroad came into Abbeville last Monday night, and was greeted with cheers by the enthusiastic citi zens. The cuts along the line have been widened and the roadbed is now in a splen did condition, for anew road. At Waycross one day last week an owl, always ready' for business, attacked a large number of swallows that had taken up quar ters in the chimney’ f Dr. L. C. Mattox, at Homerville, and he kicked up so much noise as to httract attention, and now Dr. Mat tox has a blink-eyed owl for a pet. Parker, Peacock & Cos., of Hawkinsville, have sold their barrel factory in that, place to a Savannah firm, and it is now under the management of W. A. Roush, with Bob Holmes as superintendent and bookkeeper. The factory is in a flourishing condition, turning out now from 175 to 300 barrels per day. A negro in the upper part of Effingham county, while ginning cottpn, stooped to reach for motes under the gin, and by some carelessness alh >wed his ham 1 to go too near the saws, where it was caught, drawn up, and the arm, as far as the elbow, was liter ally cut to pieces, besides inflicting several other severe cuts upon his person. One day recently Col. E. S. V. Briant, of Loganville, went to his well for a bucket of water, and when he drew it up he was sur prised to see an immense spreading-adder snake, as thick as his arm, covering the whole inside of the bucket, with his head erect, ready for business. The Colonel and his friends quickly put an end to the mon ster reptile. Sheriff English, of Greene county, ar rived at Augusta, Thursday, from Abbe ville, S. C., on the Augusta and Knoxville train, accompanied by a negro, George Mc- Duffie, who is charged with having mur dered Bill Cheney, in Woodville, a small town in that county, on the night of Sept. 13. The crime grew out of the rela tionship of the man to a woman. Joe Henry Watson, the negro who has been in jail at Albany under indictment for arson since last January, was acquitted in the Superior Court Wednesday. There were two indictments found by the’grand jury— one for the Barnes House fire and the other for the Academy fire. The indictment upon which he’ was tried and acquitted Wednes day was for the Barnes House fire. The lumber works of A. B. Steele, located at Chauncey. came near being the scene of a terrible conflagration. One of the lum ber dryers took fire and was consumed, with about 35,000 or 40,000 feet of lumber. The large new saw mill and planing mill are in close proximity to the dryer, and but through the untiring efforts of the citizens of the town they would also have been de stroyed. Fletcher Wright, of Webster county, is one of the few men in the world who are walking around with bullets in their heads. Mr. Wright got his in the late war. and has kept it as a memento ever since. He occa sionally experiences inconvenience from its shifting about in his head, but never lias any pain from it. Mr. Wright keeps in good health, and is one of VV ebster's most active and intelligent farmers. It is a rare thing to find a man who has lived for over twenty years with a musket ball in his head. Brunswick Advertiser: A young for eigner, claiming to come here from Savan nah, has for the last few days, we learn, been moving among our shipping and kin dred circles avowing his intention of con trolling the stevedore business of the port, if not By fair means, then by foul. If un successful in speedily gaining possession of the choicest stevedoring plums, he avows his intention to break up the whole business by working up strikes and other insurrec tionary movements among the different stevedores’ gangs, and thus prevent any one else from pursuing the business. The killing of the negro John Jackson, in Albany, on the night of Sept. Ifi, is still fresh in the memory of the readers of the News. The shooting occurred near the river, and on the morning after the tragedy the Coroner's inquest failed to ascertain w’ho the murderer was. But it! now begins to appear that the man who fired the fatal shot in the dark has been spotted, and that his name is James Haymon. Haymon lives in Irwin county, and ’was in Albany on ttie night that John Jackson was killed. City Marshal Westbrook has been quietly work ing on the case ever since tbe night the crime was committed, and became so well satisfied Wednesday that Haymon was the guilty man that he swore out a warrant for bis arrest. Grovetown, near Augusta, is ail astir over a big sensation that has developed within its quiet precincts during the past few days. Tuesday F. A. Potts was willed on early in the day and notified that he was indicted, and must appear before the grand jury, then in session at Appling. Potts came to Grove town early in September, and took a prom inent position in the religious revival then being conducted there, and said that lie had been a member of the church in Carolina and would receive his card of transfer shortly. The card failing to come and the suspicions of sonio of the neighbors as to the true relationship be tween Potts and his presumptive wife I sung somewhat verified by overhearing conver sations between them, matters came to a climax. Letters received from Orangeburg, H. C., in answer to queries sent about Mr. and Mis. Potts, disclosed the fact that they were not man and wife, and that Ida Berry, alias Potts, had deserted her husband aiid abandoned two children there. Society there resents the deception that has been practiced on them, and are very severe on the offending parties now before the grand jury. Whatever may be the result of the matter in court, the neighborhood will be very unpleasant for the offenders. A movement of considerable importance in religious circles tpok place in Atlanta Thursday at the convention held in the Church of the Redeemer (Congregational i. Some fifty delegates from different parts of the State, representing the Congregational, the Free Protestant \lethodist and the Con gregational Methodist churches of the State, were present. The object of the meeting was to effect a basis of union by which these several churches, now having the name of Methodist, numbering some sixty in all, could unite uuder the name of Con gregational. A series of resolutions were drawn up and unanimously adopted, the i substance of which is as follows: That the delegates present, representing the Congre ! gational Methodist and the Free Protcs ant j Methodist, together with the Congregation al churches or the Atlanta unio i, believing that unity and organic unio t are in harmony with the spirit of Christ, and being one in doctrine and substa itially one in polity, can, by a union of forces, strengthen themselves, and thereby better advance the cause of religion to the salva tion of souls. They, therefore, adopt the name, the United Congregational Church, and agree upon a series of articles of faith satisfactory to all the churches. It is ex pected that great good will come from this movement. Among those prominently identified with this work are the Bov. 8. C. McDaniel, of Griffin: Rev. W. B. Arm strong, of Braswell; Rev. 8. E. Bassett, of Fort Valley, and Rev. Dr. C. 8. Harris, of Home. The Rev. 8. F. Gale, State Secre tary of Florida, and the llev. George R. Turk, took part in the meeting. FLORIDA. Capt. R. W. Davis, of Tallahassee, will not be a candidate for Congress. All the schools in Tallahassee start out this season with large attendances. James A. McCreight, of Gainesville, has been granted a pension for services in the Mexican war. The drought for the past three weeks has been very damaging to the strawberry growers of Alachua county, D. W. D. Boully has purchased a half in terest in the Lakeland Publishing Company, which publishes the Florida Cracker. At Carrabelle a forty-room hotel is now projected, to occupy one of the most de sirable locations. It will have a number of cottages for families. A number of citizens of Sanford, who were frightened away by the first yellow fever scare, are returning, and work is go ing ahead on the new buildings. The framing of the first three express care ever built at the car shops of the Orange Belt Company has lieen commenced, and it will not be long until they are ready for use. At a meeting of the Wilson Battery, of Jacksonville, Wednesday night, it was de cided not to go to Atlanta as a body, owing to the inability of several of the members to get off. Ex-Congressman Bisbee passed through Washington Thursday, en route home, ac companied by his son, who has just gradu ated at Harvard, and will study law with his father. These fourth-class postmasters have been appointed: John P. Gore, Gore, Levy county, vice E. L. Janney; John N. Chand ler, Limestone, Walton county, vice Angus D. Morrison. Pasco county gives a “dry” majority of twenty-one. The County Commissioners completed the canvass Thursday, throwing out Richland, Ban Antonio, Anclote and Loyce precincts. Maj. A. Bt. Clair Abrams spoke Tuesday night at Leesburg in behalf of Tavares as the county seat of Lake county. A special train went from Tavares, carrying :!00 peo ple from there and vicinity. The County Commissioners of Madison c-ounty advertise for bids for $75,000 of bonds. These bonds are to bear 6 per cent and have thirty years to run, but liable to bo called in at the option of the Commis sioners, after five years. / The yacht Margaritta arrived at Cleve land this week from the coast with a load of bananas and sugar-cane. From all the in formation received the crop of bananas will be double that of any previous year on the islands, so there will be no scarcity of fruit this year. A serious difficulty occurred near Kissim mee Sunday night between Wesley Clark and William Goodman, in which Clark had his skull fractured by a blow from Good man with a club. 'Hie difficulty originated about some oxen belonging to Burrell Yates, the father-in-law of Clark. Goodman is under arrest awaiting the result of Clark's injuries before the preliminary trial can be had. Mr. Gold, the agent of the Florida South ern railroad at Trabue and Punta Gorda, has decided to make his future home at Cleveland, and to t hat effect has purchased land there and will begin to build in a few days. Mr. Gold expects to put over 10J acres in fruits, strawberries and vegetables. He has secured a fine tract of land, part of which lies in the town, and within a quar ter of a mile of the depot. Fort Myers seems to be determined that if a strict quarantine will keep out the fever that it will be kept at a distance. Capt. White, of the sfiiamer Alice Howard, plying between Cleveland and Fort Myers, says that he had been ordered by health officials of the latter place to bring no pas sengers in his boat that could not produce a certificate that they came from north of Jacksonville. In other words the town has quarantined against the whole State, or very near it. The murder of the stranger whose body was found near Holt’s station on the morn ing of Oct. 0, has been traced to a family by tbe name of Adams, who live about sixteen miles front the railroad. The head of the family Is now on tho grand jury at Milton, end it will devolve upon hint, partly, to in dict his two sons for the murder, one of the latter, the eldest, having confessed the crime at Milton. The confession embraces no details, the murderer refusing absolutely to state the circumstances until he shall be given trial. A horrible accident occurred on the track of the South Florida railroad, just east of the water works, at Sanford, Saturday. A negro was standing on the track watching an engine on the Jacksonville, Tampa and Key West track, when switch engine No. 33 came along pushing a box car before it and knocked the matt ilown, crushing both legs and one arm and fracturing the skull. He was taken to the South Florida railroad hos pital, where he died the following day. It was impossible for the engineer to see him from the cab. At Quinsy perfect confidence prevails as to the operations of the tobacco syndicate. Over 5,000 acres of land are paid for, and the papers are beiug prepared for the trans fer of as much more. A competent engineer has been employed t<j survey the lands, and there are a few arrivals of prospective set tlers sent out by Receiver Duval. Tobacco houses are soon to bo built. Four promi nent dealers from New York left Thursday, admitting that the syndicate, with proper management, had a big thing. They were greatly pleased with the samples anti the crops. Other parties are purchasing lands. The crop is selling at fine prices. The Plant steamship line employes at Tampa are taken on board the transfer steamer Margaret at that city every after noon at 5 o’clock, and the steamer proceeds five miles down the bay, where site stays until 8 o’clock the next morning. This is done by the company to allay the fears of the men in their employ who are afraid of the fever, aud who do not wish to remain in Tampa over night. John Bradley, the agent at Tampa, lias signified his willing ness to do all in his pqwer toward aiding the men in leaving that city‘if they should so desire, and if necessary’ would ’suspend all business operations should the scare be come so great as to drive the employe* away. Advice to Motners. Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup should always be used when children are’ cutting teeth. It relieves the little suffer at once; it produces natural, quiet sleep by relieving the child from pain and tho little cherub awakes as “bright as a button.” It is very pleasant to taste. It soothes the child, softens the gums, allays all pain, re lieves wind, regulates the bowels, and is the best known remedy for diarrhoea, whether arising from teething or other causes. 35 cents a bottle. THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1887. IN A QUARANTINE CAMP. How the Station Near Plant City Looks —lts Inmates and Surroundings. From the Orlando ( Flu . > Record. The quarantine station on the South Flor ida road is at a point about six miles below Lakeland, and there are now held there about thirty persons, most of whom are citizens of Polk county, who, u|>on return ing from a Baptist convention held near Plant City, were nabbed by the quarantine officers, and are now serving out their fif teen days as suspects. There are among the number three ministers, one of whom is in a constant state of excitement over his detention, claiming that it will surely kill him, while as a matter of fact he is about as robust as any in the camp, all of whom are in a splendid state of health: ami with the exception of the min ister mentioned and a New York drummer, who was caught on his way North from Tampa, are ail in good spirtts, and take their involuntary camp life in a good hu mored manner. The camp consists of three tents, which afford comfortable accommodations for about ten or twelve, w hile the balance have had to roost on stumps and other equally convenient sleeping apartments. From this time on they will, however, have first-rate accommodations, as, at the request of Dr. Wylly, the Governor has expressed twelve wall tents, which are expected to arrive to day. The camp is in charge of J. W. Morwell, who seems to possess all the requirements of nerve and backbone necessary to make him an efficient officer. From this point ill either direction, running along the line which divides Polk from Hillsborough county, is a force of about twenty five horsemen who keep up a constant pa trol night and day. The arrangements for an efficient quarantine are admirable and those in charge appear determined tx> spare no effort to make the lockout as near per fect as possible. Capt. Eppes Tucker. Mayor of Lakeland aud Chairman of the Polk oouuty Board of Health, who has the matter under his im mediate charge, appeal's to be just the man for the place. Just below the camp is the hospital of the South Florida railroad, a neat one-story house, within a mile and a half of Plant City. This hospital is in charge of Dr. Frank 11. Caldwell, of Sanford, who has under him two efficient nurses, one a regular yellow fever nurse from Savannah. The hospital is fitted up with all the conve niences of a first-class dispensary, and has all the appliances for the effective treat ment of the disease. A few rods from the hospital a fumigator has been built, by which all the mails from Tampa are fumi gated. The arrangement consists of a ten teet square wooden structure, fitted with rows of netted wire shelving. When the mail is brought from Tampa it is all taken from the pouches and latd upon the wire shelves; under the shelves are placed pots of sulphur, which are igniied and the doors closed, making an almost air-tight com partment. The mail is allowed to remain l n the closed room receiving the fumes of sulphur for two hours, when it is sent on its way. While at this point we learned from Dr. Caldwell that there were two or three suspicious cases of fever at Plant City, which the resident physician, Dr. Wells, of that place, pronounces yellow fever. The cases are being closely watched. AN ASTONISHED HORSE. A Countryman Finds a Queer Hitch ing Post in Macon. From the Macon (On.) Telegraph. The other night, a young man from the country came in town with his horse and buggy, and proceeded to do up the town in the best way he knew how. On his way home he hapi>ened to think, just as he reach ed the railroad crossing, near the city bridge, that he wanted to take one more drink as a night cap. A train was passing at the time, and the long poles called a gate, were down. He jumped out of his buggy, and, supposing the gate was a fence, hitched his horse to it hard and fast, bv a rope around his neck and waddled off in the direction of a barroom. In the meantime the train having passed, the watchman, with his back to the gate, proceeded to haul it by the windlass. The old horse felt the gate taking up the slack in the halter, but never dreamed that he was about to be hung up. Slowly but surely the gate was raised, and higher but surely the horse went up. The additional weight of a horse and buggy was not felt by the old watchman as he turned the crank, and the rope around the poor animal's neck kept him from even murmuring a complaint. The old watchman finally finished his wiuding and turned to go into a little box when he saw a sight that paralyzed him. From the position of the horse, with his fore legs clasped around the high pole, the old watchman's first thought was that the hi use had simply climbed up the pole. It took him a minute or so to decide whether he was drunk or dreaming and saw an im possibility, or whether the pole had got tangled up in the harness and carried the horse up with it. While lie was thus decid ing in his mind how it all came about, the countryman had finished his night-cap and arrived on the scene. The sight pre sented to him not only sobered him, but froze his young blood. It was a borrowed home, and he knew that it was a dead loss. He ran to and fro as if crazed, aud yelled out for someone to bring a lad der. Tim watchman by this time had re covered ills senses, amt rushing to the wind lass soon let the poor animal down. The countryman thought it was a mean trick of the watchman, but the watchman was too intent on getting life back into the horse, fearing a damage suit against the railroad to pay any attention to tne fellow’s threats. The horse was rubbed and doctored, and after a while was on its feet and going at a jog trot toward Jones county. How Much a Man Eats. Richard .4. Proctor in llie October Cosmopolitan It has lieen calculated that on the average each man who attains the age of three-score nnd-teii consumes during the course of his life twenty wagon loads of food, solid and liquid. At four tons to the wagon this would correspond to an average of a!suit 100 ounces of food per day, or say some 130 ounces per day during adult life and about 80 ounces during infancy and youth. Most modern doctors agree in regarding 130 ounces of food per day, corresponding to five or six half-pints of liquid food and seven or eight pounds of solid food, as in excess of the real daily requirements of a healthy man or woman. Yet probably most of us take more than this, in one way or another, during the day. Dr. Lankcster, from an extensive analysis of tlie dietary of soldiers, sailors, prisoners ami the bettor paid classes of artisans and professional men in Loudon, found the average daily quantity of solid and liquid food to be 14.i ounces. Doubtless many take much more than this. When somo one mentioned before Sidney Smith the twenty wagon loads of food calculated for each man's allowance, he turned to Lord Dur ham, who like himself was corpulent, (and not without sufficient reason), with the quaint remark, “I think our wagons, Dur ham. must be tsyur-liorsod ones." There are members of the ljOndoil corporation, to seek no further, whose wagons must be six horsed ones, and well-loaded at that. The Bottom of the Sea Yields no pearl that, can exceed in beauty teeth whitened and cleansed with that in comparable dentifrice, the fragraut 80ZO DONT. Nor is coral rosier than the gums in which such teeth are set. So say the ladies, who are tho best judges in such mat ters. Notice to Advertisers.
