Fudge, of Albany, Acquitted on a Charge of Robbery. GEORGIA. Worth Stipe •'or Court convenes this Week. Tallapoosa real estate agents are doing a lively business. Tallapoosa's boom is putting new life into all the neighboring villages. Rome’s First Methodist Church building will have cost 142.000 when it is completed. Only thirty-seven cases have been tried by the Mayor of Brunswick this year, so far. Putnam conn tv shipped 34.000 pounds of butter through Eatonton during the year just ended. The Greonsboro Herdtd-Georgian is out in a 16-page trade issue full of interesting reading matter. From five acres B. M. Devane, of Berrien county, lias gathered seven bales of cotton, and the end is not yet. • Sixteen houses are being built by the Camille Gold Mining Company, at their mines near Tallapoosa. The Americus Recorder is out in a hand some new dress. Americus has good reason to be proud of so excellent a paper. The Recorder of Augusta tried fifty-one cases last week, and dismissed thirteen of that number. Tue fines amounted to #232. The Central railroad passenger depot at Griffin caught fire Fridny, but the flaiww were extinguished before much damage was done. An effort is being made to erect a fine hotel in Elberton. Several thousand dol lars have been promised, provided a suffi cient sum can be raised. A man with a dog and a bear tramped through StnithviUe Wednesday night, on bis way to Macon. He said he was going to be on hand for the State Fair. A colored child living on the place of I. C. Hill, near Monticello, fell into the fire a few days ago. at 1 -■> so badly burned as to re sult in dea’e last Saturday night. The vote on tb • free school question at Madison Monday was very light. But little interest was taken in the election, the vote standing 26 for and 45 against the system. The kitchen and dwelling house of Dave McKinney, living near Antioch Church, were burned a few nights ago. The fire is supposed to have caught from the kitchen stove. Judge J. C. Roney, in chambers at Au gusta, appoint*', I Irvin Alexander Cominis sioner of Depositi as there is a vacancy in that office, and t Lie re are over ten thou sand inhabitants in the county. M. S. Mct'rar.'e. ol Odel, while going to his work last Thursday morning, at the first peep of day, was attacked by a large rac coon. Her "treated til! he could ojien his knife, and a-, the ’coon came on he cut him to death. J. H. > of Sumter county, affirms that a turkey hen hid her nest In his oat patch, and when the reapers were saving the oats she was found, shortly after incu bation, having hatched seven turkeys, four chickens and twenty-four guineas. On Monday last a house, on the place of Capt. C. C. Clay, in Lee county, under the management of Virg Duncan, was destroyed by tire. There were some 10,000 or 15,000 pounds of fodder in the house which was all destroyed. It is not known how the fire originated. At Augusta, since Oct. 1, twenty-six mar riage licenses have been issued—fifteen to colored and eleven to white couples. Up to noon Staturday 234 dray licenses, twenty five two-horse wagon licenses, two hack licenses, and 110 retail liquor licenses bail been issued by Clerk Blome. M. W. Wright, of Lincolnton, says that he has an old hen that for the past few years has been contented with an im maculately white dress She commenced shedding a short time since, and now as tonishes the natives with a bran new spick and span costume of sombre black. Two colored farm bands living near Smithville engaged in a hot quarrel last week over the affections of a dusky damsel. While they were fighting it out the damsel herself pitched in and cleaned up the pair of them. She said she didn't intend to have any fighting around her, if she knew it. There is a grape vine growing in the hum mocks of Sawhatehee creek, near Blakely, measuring twelve inches in diameter and thirty-six inches in circumference. Those who have seen the vine say it is the largest known. A section of it will be put oivexhi bition at the Piedmont Fair at Atlanta. Jack Powell, of the Bronwood Reporter , says: "If we succeed in scraping up enough cash and borrowing some clothes suitable to wear, we will attend the Piedmont Exposi tion. If we fail in this, the President will be disappointed in not seeing us, as it is too far to walk, and our duster is uot suitable for October weather.” Last Sunday night William Jones, a re spectable colored man, of Newburn, just over the Morgan line, went home from church to find someone in his potato patch. Getting down his shotgun he emptied the contents with deadly aim, shooting down another negro named Henry Mark, who died from his wounds Monday. An alisent-minded man, who lives near Smithville, having occasion to cross a branch near his house the other night, car ried with him a box of matches and a lighter! torch. When he reached the branch the torch went out, whereupon he com menced to j r ell for his wife to bring another light. When she arrived she calmly pointed to the box of matches in his hand, and he felt like a fool. While Oscar Prince, of Morgan county, was loading cotton at Gardner’s gin, seven miles from Madison, Wednesday afternoon, his mules became frightened, and in the effort to get to them his hand was caught between the gin belt and large wheel below the gin. In the twinkling of an eye his arm was twisted and crushed most horribly. It was torn from the socket at the elbow anil broken higher up, which made amputation necessary. A well-known and highly esteemed mem ber of one of the Albany churches, having occasion to use #SO in his business before the banks opened Friday morning, dropped into a merchant’s store on Broad street Thursday night and asked for the loan of that amount until morning. A drummer, not familiar with the character of the bor rower, standing near, after he left inquired, with an air of wanting some fun himself, “Is there a little garni of poker up?” It now seems evident that the town of Blakely will have to pay the Gleason-Baily Manufacturing Company for the fire engine and attachments, as there was a decree of the court rendering judgment against the town. The engine is small, and probably did not come up to the expectations of the Council that bought it—though it came up to all the specifications—still it can lie made very useful at a fire if there is a thoroughly organized company, and a necessary ar rangement made for a supply of water. K. P. Wilson, living on Hnake Creek, near Fitts, in Carrolleounty, has two of the 01/lest powder horns of any Nimrod in this country. They were brought from South Carolina by Mr. Wilson nearly fifty years ago, and they were nrnle by his grand father during the revolutionary war. Mr. Wilson's father, while a boy, was strolling over the grounds occupied as a camp by Lord Cornwallis’ army and found this pair of horns. The British soldiers under Lord Cornwallis killed the cattle and ate the beef of the carcass from which those horns were taken. D. C. Dunlap, at Rocky Mount, planted one acre of corn for a premium and has shucked out and measured up 117 bushels of corn from this acre and a small fraction of an acre. But for the August storm he would have made 35 budieis more Mr. five witnesses who measured the corn with the measuring barrel and nineteen witnesses who shucked out tii< corn. The ground will 1 carefully meas ured with a tape line and au exact compu tation of the area of land made. He will compete for the prize for the best acre of com at the Piedmont Fair at Atlanta, and. perhaps, also at the State Fair at Macon. The verdict of the jury before whom the case of H. H. Fudge was tried, which was agrtssl u [x>u and sealed by the jury on Thursday night, was opened and announced in court at Albany Friday morning. It was a verdict of acquittal. No case that has lieeu tried in this county for a long time has attracted larger crowds to the court house or been watched with more interest than this one The defendant and the prosecutor both had friends and sympathisers among the best people of the county. The prosecutor charged the defendant with stealing *3.000 in cash from his bank vault. The charge was a serious one, and the standing of the parties in the community gave a promi nence to the case that it would not have had under other circumstances. Sylvauia Woorllaum Sprite: W T illiam Bazemore, who left the county several weeks ago to attend school at Chattanooga, Tenn., returned home last week. The cause of his early coming was the fact that there was a strong probability of some negro boys en tering the college anil lieing allowed to recite in the same class with the white students. We l<>aru from him that when the report was circulated, and the papers took notice of it, that he, his brother, ami Johnnie Conner, all of this county, went to the President of the college and askod if the rumor was true. The President replied that if a negro boy applied for admission and could stand the examination he would not refuse him. Whereupon the next morning the Scriventtes bundled up and departed, Mr. William Bizetnore for home, and the two others for Dahlonega. Officer Leavy, of Brunswick, has a queer but terrible weapon which he took from a sailor some time since. The man was under arrest and walking by the officer’s side, who presently observed him put his hand into his pocket and commenced drawing some thing therefrom. This was too much for Laavjr, and presenting hiH pistol,- he ordered his prisoner to throw up his hands. Search in that pocket brought to light a lump of lead nearly as large as an egg, around which was knitted a notwork of twine in true sailor style, and to which was attached a loop about two feet in length of large cord. This loop is put around the wrist, and grasp ing the cord in the hand, but a slight swing is necessary to bring the lead upon the heal of the victim with terrible force. Hail this fellow succeeded in catching Mr. Leavy one moment off his guard that leaden messen ger might have ended his usefulness speedily. Jaekson News: One day last week Dr. R. W. Mays was in the western portion of Butts eounty, and called at the residence of Abner Jester, now 81 years old. He ex hibited a walking cane of rattan with a whale tooth head and a ferule of brass. He rem.TTTied that the cane has a history. Mr. Jester is a native of Edgefield district. South Carolina, as also ware the ancestors of Dr. Mays. The cane exhibited was pre sented to Mr. Jester’s father by Samuel Mays, uncle of Dr. Mays, on the morning he started to Mexico in the United States army. Mr. Mays never returned, but was one of the band of fifty-two, commanded by Col. Crittenden that was massacred by the troops of Santa Anna. The exact ago of the stick is unknown, but suffice it to say that the stick was used by a generation dating back in 1700. Mr. Jester prizes the cane very highly as a memento of the past. FLO RIBA. Fort Myers has quarantined against Tampa. Sumter county raised corn and hay are being sold in Sumterville. Gadsden county lands are now being sought after by strangers. Trabue will be changed to Punta Gorda. The Beaton favors the change. Bids for the erection of the public school building at Oakland will be opened to-day. The “wild eat” law is not favored much by the County Commissioners of Gadsden. The steamer Pyles is now making regular trips on the lako, outlet and Withlacoochee river. The Branford Lumber Company is hav ing some trouble about taking timber from government lands. Havana has had 325 cases of small pox. Key West has placed special restrictions on travel from that port. Sumterville’s municipal election will be held on Saturday, Nov. 13. The registra tion books are now open. The reported death at Interlachen from yellow fever proved to he Bright’s disease according to the last report. The next meeting of the Volusia County Teachers’ Association will bo held at Lake Helen, soma time next month. James O. Andrews has been ap|minted Sanitary Inspector at Cedar Keys,under the orders of the Board of Health. There were only three deaths at Orlando last Monday, two being infant children and the adult a victim of alcoholism. Uncle Jake Summerlin, a cattleman of Orange county, tells of the striking of eight oxen by lightning in a recent storm. It is said that there will soon he a double steamboat service on the llalifak. Hills borough and Indian rivers. The S. V. White and the Clara will make daily trips between Daytona and Rockledge. Several thousand acres of land in Gadsden county have been paid for by the syndicate. To see checks of #3,100 and $3,000 passing aliout for tobacco lands, dazzles the eyes of the average Uadsden county man. Some Italians induced to visit Gadsden county by Receiver Duval are prospecting. They are reported as saying that Gadsden must lie a fine county, as they see the only pomogranite and fig trees they have seen since they left Italy. The sudden revelation of the existence of yellow fever in Tampa had a rather start ling effect at Cedar Kays, and a few of the more timid bundled up and left. We feel |xir fectly safe now, that we are warned of the danger, but we have been running a fearful risk. • Judge Broome has granted a writ of in junction against, the Board of County Com missioners of l>ako county restraining them from striking the names of any one from the registration list of that county, as was threatened by the chairman of the board, in order to reduce the number of voters supposed to be favorable to Tavares for the county seat. Mr. John Kluinpker, of Pensacola lias ap plied for a patent on a hose coupler which he has recently invented. The invention is certainly a good one, and it bids fair to end Johns working days. The device is simple, easily opera ted, save* time and labor, and, when once introduced, will doubtless revolutionize the whole belting business, and bring fortune to its inventor. Messrs. Anno & Browne, of Orlando, re ceived a telegram from Wilmington. Del., Friday announcing the death ana burial of Dr. J. H. Tantum at that place. Dr. Tantum was well known in Orlando, having in vested quite largely in real estate in and around Orlando. He was in the habit of spending his winters at Winter Park, and left there early last summer for bis home in Wilming ton. The County Commissioners have appro priated SI,OOO for the purpose of exhib iting the products of Volusia county at the Hub-Tropical Exposition. They have also appropriated S3OO for general advertising purposes. C. F. A. Bielby, of DeLand; 11. J. Faulkner, of Oak Hill; John Anderson, of Ormond, and J. H. Bodine, of Enter prise, compose the committee in charge of the funds. The body of an unknown white man was found on the railroad track at Cottondale Friday morning. The man's forehead had been crushed in by a fall on the iron rail, and death must have been instantaneous. It is presumed that the man, during the night befsre. had endeavored to take a lantern THE AIORXING NEWS: MON DA A', OCTOBER 17, 1887. | down from where it hung close to the sta - turn platform, and at, an "-'ovation of about I T feet, when he lost his grip and fell, with the result as stated. The dredge Herndon, now excavnting in the cut across the middle ground at Cedar Keys, is doing some splendid work. The machinery and all the appointments of this dredge are superior to anything ever used there. It is expected that on completion of the cut at Cedar K'-v there will be a chan nel of not less than H feet at half tide. As sistant Engineer Sackett arrived last Tues day and will give personal oversight to the work till completed. At a meeting of the Orange City branch of the State Immigration Society, held at the city lmll on Monday’ evening, several plans for advertising the place were dis cussed, and all present seemed to be in earn est in regard to the importance of having the town’s interests well looked after the coming winter. The secretary reported that a petition asking the City Council to appropriate #5O for advertising purposes was signed by every person he asked The ladies of Dade city and vicinity pre sented to Sheriff J. A. Grady a beautiful wreath of flowers as a mark of their esteem for him as a man anil of their admiration of his zeal in the cause of temperance. In the note accompanying this tribute to bis worth, the ladies expressed in terms most eloquent, their just appreciation of his in defatigable efforts, his noble conduct and the gallant aid rendered them during the election on Oct. 10, os well as their feelings of pride and gratification and of their good wishes and thanks. The fish trade of Cedar Keys, since the Tampa yellow fever scare, has taken on still larger proportions. The dealers were already overrun with orders, and their number since is still greater. Fish are very scarce, and the diftb-ulty is increased by the action of the Health Board in refusing ]x;r mission to the boats to come in after sun down. Asa consequence, boats from the southern fisheries arriving after sundown at quarantine are kept out till after train time next morning, thus preventing the shipment, some days, of hundreds of barreLs of fish. * ‘ Orange City Times: Mr. Thursby was up the river the other day fishing from his row boat, and two hours sitting in the sun brought him nothing but a minnow. This made him tired, and ne went to sleep, with the minnow still to his hook in tho water. When he awoke he was three miles further up the river. A large datttsh had swallowed the minnow, hook and all, and then swam up the river, taking the boat in tow. Later: Since the above was written we learn that there is not a word of truth in it. It was the minnow that swallowed the catfish. AVe make the correction in justice to our in- formant. A jieculinr incident happened on the Mrs. Timborlakefarm, two miles south of Orange Heights, on the night of Oct. 12. A horse belonging to the tenants was grazing in a field of cotton and is supposed to have lain down to enjoy its evening roll. To its groat surprise, old mother earth lost her firmness, and horse, earth and all went whirling Chinaward. There was nothing peculiar about the geological formation of the earth at this particular spot, except the great tenacity of the clay formation—no water, no quick-sand. The hole was about four feet wide by eight in length and ten feet deep, the walls on either side being per pendicular. The horse, after discovery and rescue, only lived a few minutes. SOUTH CAROLINA. AA T illiam Murphy, the murderer of John Oxner, has been captured and lodged in jail at Newberry. A. J. Taylor, of Lewiedale, Lexington county, who was found at Columbia Wednesday asphyxiated by gas in his room over Long’s stables, died Thursday. He had never recovered consciousness, and the constant and strenuous efforts which had been made to relieve him failed. At Columbia, Wednesday, the contract for furnishing IH4 tons of double-screened red-ash coal, to be used as fuel this winter for the new heating apparatus at the State house, was awarded to AV. S. Reamer, at $7 22 per ton. The only other bidder, Joe Taylor, offered to supply it for $7 05. There are a great many cattle dying pn Broad river pastures from an unknown disease. They are taken with a quivering in every muscle, anil no remedy that has been given them does them any good. All the eattlo that have died are those recently moved from the uplands to the bottoms. There is a mule in the community affected in tbesame way, and it seems to get no re lief. Near Spartanburg for some time mining operations have been suspended at the Glen dale mine, now owned by the Boston Mining Company E. B. AA’itherell, a mining expert of Colorado, and A. A. Reeve, of Boston, are there, and they are pleased with the pritspeets well enough to sink a deep shaft. There has been no attempt to mine below the water level, and the richest veins are all deep. They hope to cut this vein at the depth of 100 feet. Should this prove successful now value will be added to the gold mines of the county. President Dunean has determined to in troduce still another new feature into the State Fair of 1887. It is his purpose to ap point a number of marshals for fair week from among tho young men of the different counties. They will bo well mounted and equipped, and will, in an official way, pre serve order on the streets and in the fair grounds, acting as masters of ceremonies, and in their private capacities showing at tention to and aiding strangers. The ap]x>int meiits will be announced hereafter. Col. J. B. Marshall, commanding the Palmetto regiment, has consented to act as chief marshal. The contest between the old and new Council, which has bt>en going on in court since Sept. 13, has almost demoralized AVTI - The law is o]x>nly violated with im punity, and offenders go unpunished. The best citizens of the town, who have de plored the state of affairs from the first, are getting restless under the delay of the set tlement, and some threaten to indict several merchants who violated the Sunday law by opening their Htores and selling to tho crowd of colored people in attendance on the association. One merchant took in over one hundred dollar's. Whisky flowed quite freely. The Grier’s municipal case came up before Judge Pressley, at Anderson, Thursday. At the election last, spring there was a dispute over the result, and the old Council, with Squire Westmoreland as Intendant,|refused to surrender. The other party, headed by Capt. Zimmerman, next obtained an in junction restraining the AVestmoreland Council from exercising its functions. For some time the town has been without a gov ernment, and Judge Pressley, at the last hearing, refused to withdraw the injunction until the case comes up on its merits at the next Court. In the meantime, the dato for another election is rapidly approaching. A slight sensation was created at Colum bia Thursday by the discovery that Norman Campbell, a lad of 17, the son of Countv Treasurer J. S. Complied, had run awa'v from home with Bob Physioc, a chum, ft was intended that he should enter the Houth Carolina College, an- 1 , he Intel boon supplied by his father with $35. The young fellow, who had been talking for weeks to his com panion of his intention to seek a fortune else where, took advantage of his opportunity, and, doubtless, influenced by boil advisers left, llis father telegraphed to have him stopped, but without avail. It is a boyish freak, which will doubtless be regretted as soon as the hardships of adventure liegin. James Troy, one of the oldest citizens of Columbia, died Thursday after an illness of several months of dropsy of the heart. He was born Nov. 29,1812, at, Morrisania, West chester county, Now York, and did business for some yoai-s after his majority in New York city. In 1842 he came to South Caro lina with a son of Martin Van Buren to build a resilience for him, and shortly after removed to Columbia, where he has resided ever since. He was the constructor of many fine buildings in that section. One of his moet recent works was the erection of tho new court house at Lexington, Mr. Ti'ov was a sterling oitSzi n and was highly esteemed. Baxes a Widow, a son and a daughter. The Clifton strike has about terminated as to its immediate results. Many of the families saw that they had made a mistake in raising a groundless issue, and as one false step generally lends to another, the leaders concluded to resist all efforts to dis possess them of their hous s by legal pro cess. The company submitted patiently to tlie law's delay, and crowded their new hands in such rooms as they could spare. After two or three trials, with decisions against the hands, only one, Mr. Busley, was ejected. He took it in the most, pleas ant manner, laughing while the officer was moving his furniture out of the house. The others have vacated, or are endeavoring to get new places. This ends tho Clitton strike. A little girl, who chanced to pass through a piece of woods about a quarter of a mile from Chick’s Springs, on the Air Line road, Thursday, came upon the body of a man, apparently dead. She hastened to give the alarm, and neighbors who hurried to the spot found Joe Ferguson, a negro, who lived in tho neighborhood, lying uncon scious and nearly dead, with nis skull crushed in as if by a severe blow from some heavy instrument Ferguson had been missing since Wednesday. Thursday after noon a ten-cent piece was picked up near the spot where Ferguson was found, and this has given rise to the theory that he was attacked and robbed. At the last report the wounded man had not regained con sciousness, and death is considered certain. Samuel T. Browne, of Columbia, has heen appointed Assistant Paymaster United States navy, and will embark on the United States steamship N'ipsic, at the Brooklyn navy yard on Wednesday next, for a three years’ cruise around the world. Mr. Browne is a son of the Rev. Sidi H. Browne, of Co lumbia, and is 23 years old. Four or five years ago he started himself in journalism by becoming the South Carolina correspond ent of various metropolitan newspapers. Three years ago he entered tho service of the Richmond and Danville railroad in Co lumbia, and when the headquarters were removed to Washington he accompanied the Auditor, John Craig, to that city. Six months ago he became the assistant in the administrative department of Vico Presi dent John B. Palmer, of the Atlantic Coast Line, with headquarters at Richmond. Last Thursday he was offered the position of assistant paymaster in the navy. President Duncan is pushing his plan for having during the fair an experience meeting of old planters, men who have planted forty years and who would like to discuss purely agricultural matters and compare the present with the past. His plan is to get three of these old planters from each county, and he wishes to get the name of applicants for transportation on this account as sixin as possible. Col. Dun can may be addressed at Union. It is essen tial that applicants shall send their names and the railroad station from which they propose to start General Passenger Agent Taylor, of the Richmond and Danville sys tem, has promised to furnish free passes to such of these veterans as will leave points on his lines, and the officers of other roads will doubtless follow his good example, ad ding by their assistance a novel feature to the fair. Col. Duncan’s first applicant is 76 years old, and has lieen planting fifty-two years, has been steward in his church for forty-seven years, has never bought a bushel of corn and has never been to Co lumbia. A patent has just been granted D. H. D. King, of Greenville for an automatic toi pedo placer and railroad signal. Mr. King’s invention is intended to take the place of flagmen on the track, and consists of atom pact mechanism mounted on a carriage 3 feet long, 6 inches wide and 6 high, and fitted with two broad, flanged wheels be fore and behind, enabling it to run on a single rail. The motive power is furn s led by an electric storage battery. The na nine is placed on the track in case of accident, and runs rapidly to a distance which may be regulated, say five or six hundred yards, placing signal torpedoes 'every sixty yards. When the limit for which it Is set is reached, the machine, by an automatic contrivance, overturns itself on the outside of tho track. In addition, for day use, the machine carries fiag signals, and for night it is fitted with rockets in tended to signal iii cuts and around curves. Mr. King is the Inventor of the King cotton press, Star press, King distributor and other machines. His last, invention is an attempt to solve the problem of reducing to a minimum railway accidents, two-thirds of which are caused, he says, by collision. He has made repeated experiments with working models anil the machine worked perfectly. A public exhibition will be given of its working there next week. Frank Hammond, President of the People’s Bank, is associated with him in the invention. Two Baltimore belles, Miss Byron and Miss Smith, are counted the most graceful horse women in the South. They are the envy of all the fair members of Baltimore and Washington riding clubs. CUTICUKA REMEDIES, VITIATED BLOOD.
