At Baxley, Saturday, Frank Wilcox’s
trial for murder, in Superior
(jourt, which created great excitement and
interest, resulted in his acquittal, by the
jury.
Hon. Jefferson Davis, who will be in
Macon Oct. 'J4 and 25, unless bad health
prevents, will be presented with a handsome

bad negro, and had served out at least two
terms in the chain-gang.
Mr. Huff, a trapper of Oconee county,
has just returned from a trapping expedit
ion up on the Oconee river. He nail throe
fur benvara and an otter. He says there

canght all in the lot but one. Ho has a
large number of traps.
John Mimms, a burly negro, offered
coma familiarity to a young lady of pure
character and excellent family, near Adairs
ville a few days since. When the scoundrel
was located a party waited on him with a
rope, but he slipped the cords with which he
was tied and made his escape. Several
shots were fired at him, but without any
apparent effect.
At Macon, Friday, Bennett Jones, of
Twiggs county, lost hispoeketbook contain
ing SBO or more. It developed Saturday
that Dr. Mcllatton’s driver found it near
Cross Keys, aud turned it over to tho doc
tor. The doctor handed it to George C.
Price, who advertised that a pocketbook
had been found. The driver was rewarded
for his honest act.
At Gordon .Saturday a negro named An
drew Brantley, had his arm horribly mang
led by getting it caught in a gin. The
flesh was torn from tho arm, leaving arteries
and muscles exposed. Andrew is very
much thought of in Gordon, and lie was at
once placed under the care of Dr. AV'. W.
Lee, who put the flesh 1 wick in shape after
much careful work, and now the arm gives
evidence of growing properly and becoming
a good arm once more. It is considered a
skillful hit of surgery.
Last, Friday, B. L. Lewis, of Lumpkin,
was driving along the road just beyond the
Hannahatenee creek, when his buggy
wheels ran over a monster rattlesnake. The
dreadful rattling roar of warning was
sounded as the reptile threw himself into a
coil ready for an attack. Mr. I/iwis made
the first attack, and gave him a salute of
fixe rounds from a pistol. Failing in these
to silence his battery, he attacked his snake
ship with a fence rail, and belabored him
until life was extinct. The deadly monster
was about five feet in length, and carried
thirteen rattles.
When one of the incoming trains arrived
at Augusta Saturday afternoon a passeu
ger turned over his hand satchel to a ilarkey,
who was lustily soliciting patronage for a
presumably first-class hotel. After looking
all over the town for the hotel represented
by the darkey, the unfortunate vis,to!' was
forced to a realization of the fact that he
was the victim of an original scheme hit
upon by a sharp thief, whose purposes were
to secure the luggage entrusted to his care.
The thief and baggage are still at large.
The loss fails heavily on the passenger, as
the valise contained a handsome now suit of
clothing, besides several other articles of
value.
A certain section of Franklin county is in
arms over a marriage which took place last
Saturday. Farmer Buckalew had a daugh
ter, Minnie, for whom he had picked out a
husband. The young woman preferred a
young man named John Adams, and wheu
forbidden by her father to receive his at
tentions she met her lover clandestinely.
This all went very well until the early part
of last week, when Buckalew, carrying his
rifle, came suddenly upon the couple at
their trysting place. He blazed away at
once at young Adams, who escaped through
the woods under fire. Adam’s friend took
up his cause, alleging that he was a good
enough man for Butkalew’s daughter, and
before daylight on Friday morning a |>arty
stormed the Buckalew mansion and cap
tured the girl. She fouud at a convenient
place her lover waiting for her. The whole
party, armed to the teeth, made their way
to Carnesville to procure a license for the
marriage. As the girl was under age, only
14, the license was refused. The party then
drove across to Carrollton, the bride and
groom in a wagon, while the other members
were on horseback with rifles ready for ac
tion. In Carrollton tho necessary pa]ters
were secured and the marriage took place.
Since then the whole neighborhood has di
vided into factions, and several bloody
fights are likely to take place.
Among other beauties and phenomena,
Griffin possesses probably the only young
child in Georgia who would deliberately lie
down on the railroad track for the novel
pleasure of seeing a train of cars pass over
his body. Possibly there may be something
in the nerve of the name given him by his
parents that inspired Gill nan Drake Tut
wiler, the 5-year-old urchin, who now has
to be kept in the house to prevent a repeti
tion of such action. Almost every body has
seen this child, with a gravity above hjaf
age, running around the streets, a littlff, fat
bit of humanity, seeking knowledge and as
sociates among men rather than among the
infants, of which he is really one. One day
not long ago he got on the cowcatcher of a
Georgia Midland locomotive to take a ride,
but fell off and upon the track, where he lay
while the engine and train passed over him,
rising up at the rear end of the train unin
jured and chuckling at the adventure. So
amusing was it, that a few days afterward
be went down to the train and deliberately
lay down in front of the locomotive, unseen
by the engineer, for the purpose of repeat
ing the episode, and again succeeded in es
caping without injury. But his singular
predilections were discovered, and he has
since been forbidden the track by the ma
ternal authority, and has had his freedom
curtailed iu a manner that must prove very
irksome to his adventurous disposition.

There arrived at Jacksonville Saturday,
via New Orleans, a car load of South
American bananas for Messrs. Church. An
derson & Cos. Soon after their arrival,
several colored men went down to unload
the car. One of the men unlocked the door
and pushed it back and thrust his head in
side, but just as he did so he gave a cry of
pain and quickly withdrew it, when it was
found that he had lieen stung about tho
root of the first finger of his left hand by a
scorpion, and an ugly looking thing it was.
It was about two inches in length, with a
long, hard sting on tlie end of its tail, and the
thickest part was about an incli in circum
ference. The sting was broken off in killing
the scorpion, which was afterward taken
to Dr. Williams’ drug store and placed in
alcohol. Fortunately, it struck the man in
a spot where the skin was thick and hard,
and could not imlied its sting as deeply as it'
it had lieen on a more tender portion of the
lusty. The man was taken to Dr. Williams’
store, suffering the most intense pain,where
the wound was dressed. His hand was also
beginning to swell badly, and at last ac
counts he had experienced but little relief.
HARMLESS YELLOW JACK.
A Jacksonville Physician Who Says it
Cannot Spread.
From the Jacksonville (Fla.) Neies-Herald.
“What of danger do you apprehend from
yellow fever, doctor?’’ we inquired of R. B.
Burroughs, M. D., last night, as the thought
occurred that no physician in the South is
lietter, and few so well, posted on the sub
ject now uppermost in the public mind.
“You may say,” replied the doctor, “on
iny responsibility, and with the utmost con
fidence, that if a case of influenza, or “bad
cold,” as it is commonly termed, were
brought to Jacksonville from Tampa, Pa
latka or elsewhere at this time, I should
just as soon expect to see yellow fever
spread from that case of bad cold as I
should expect to see it from any case of yel
low fever brought into this city.”
“You take very strong and positive
ground on the subject.”
“And I mean it, every word,” resumed
the doctor. “After thirty-five years ex
perience in several cities of the South —
after having gone through scores of yellow
fever epidemics, and lost several members
of my immediate family, I am willing to
risk my professional reputation on the
opinion that you may bring into Jackson
ville to-night the worst case of yellow fever
in all Florida, and whether the patient died
or recovered, not another case would grow
out of it —utterly impassible.”
This makes assurance doubly sure. We
were discussing the interesting diagnasis of
Dr. Hcuhmidt (of New Orleans) of break
bone and yellow fever. The most carefully
prepared paper on this subject known to the
profession is that of Dr. R. B. Burroughs, in
a pamphlet on the diagnosis of yellow fever,
bone lever and bilious fever. He has made
the three diseases the subject of profound
study and oliservation, and has plates of
the livers taken from the dead by Dr. Mc-
Farlane and himself in yellow and bil
ious fever. From his clear delineation
it seems easy to distinguish the three dis
eases during life, and certainly after death.
He states that death hardly ever occurs in
break bone fever unless the patient has
heart disease, and that yellow fever is sel
dom contagious: that is to say, it is seldom
contracted by one individual from another.
In the pamphlet to which we refer it is
easy for even a layman to compare the
prominent features of the three maladies, as
follows:
INVASION ANII JIURATION.
Yellow Fever. —lnvasion sudden; one
paroxysm of fever lasts from 12 to 72 hours;
has no critical discharge.
Break Bone Fever. Invasion sudden; two or
more paroxysms, with regular remissions: fever
lasts from 3 to 8 days; has critical discharges;
spreads generally more rapidly.
Bilious Fever.— Invasion not so sudden; no
definite number of paroxysms: fever lasts from
(i to 18 hours; distinct periodicity; critical dis
charges; a cold, hot and sweating stage.
TONGI'K.
Yellow Fever. Creamy white; sometimes
red at edges; mouth not generally sore.
Break Bone Fever Generally whitish anil
peculiar bitter taste, like quinine or quasia, and
sore mouth.
Bilious Fever— -Very foul and brown, or
brownish yellow; sometimes sore mouth.
r.VKs.
Yellow Fever —lnterjected, watery, smoky
look; often reddish yellow, with drooping lids.
Break Bone Fever -Red and congested: in
tolerance of light; dilated pupils; very painful
eyelids oedeniatous.
Bilious Fever— Sometimes injected and pain
ful ; not so marked.
SKIN.
Yellow Fever— Yellow generally in fatal cases:
in second stage, hot and dry.
Break Bone Fever Eruption slight and tran
sient in first fever; decided in second, Jike urti-
I'Hlia, herpes, or elevated and red like* measles;
generally hot and dry.
Bilious h>ver Sometimes bilious looking or
brownish yellow; later aucune; In bad cases, hot
and sweaty.
pci.se.
Vellore Fever - Nut increasing pari passru with
heat; may fall as temperature rises; generally
under 110, and goes down to 40 or 60 heats to the
minute.
Break Bone Fever —lncreases at first with
rise of temperature; reaches 120 or 140 pier min
ute. After fever, tendency to run down to IP
or (50, and In faintness and weakness heart.
Bilious Fever— Increases with rise of temper
ature; reaches 120 to 140.
I'RINK.
Yellow Fever— Almost always albuminous.
Ballot, found it so in 300 cases; generally scanty;
tendency to suppress.
Break Bone Fever— Generally abundant acid
and free of sediment. Thomas examined a
number of cases and found no albumen; gen
erally not albuminous.
Bilious Fever (~-noisily arid, scanty, high
colored; lateriteous, high specific gravity and
seldom contains albumen.
PKCUU Aim Y Of* MATTER AND MANNER OE VOMITING.
Yellow Fever -Generally, no bile in matter
vomited: when seen, a favorable symptom. Its
ahsenoe diagnostic, chocolate or reddish form
coffee ground sediment; microscope shows
hematoidiu and blood disks, expelled with
force. In 1812 Dr. Arnold published liis opinion
that it was Ins opinion that it was blood altered
by acid; black discharges due to hematoidiu.
Break Bone Fever Burning pain Iu the stem

Bilious Fever ■ Vomiting of yellow bile: in

bowels, nost", bladder and uterus.
Break Bone Fever -Often frothy and some
times slate colored; tendency to hemorrhage.
Bilious hever Constipated or bilious dis
charges. Sometimes hemorrhage from the nose,
INTELLECT.
Yellow Fever Its state diffors in different
epidemics; generally less affected than in other
fevers; often apathy and indifference from want
of mental power, convulsions ami coma; some
times from urinlc poisoning; fright more induc
tive of disease at first than in other fevers
Break-Bone Fever— Dull; a sort of hebetude of
the mind.
Bilious Fever —Generally more affected than
in yellow fever; stupor often tor days before
death; have seen mind clear to the' last, gen
orally the reverse.
In break-bone fever the pain is decidedly
more severe, and a more common symptom
in the other fever. It is not yet decided
whether dengue is contagious, though it is
rarely ever fatal.
The foregoing facts should enable any one
to detect the nature of any of the three
fevers, and may lie of present value to our
friends In Tauipa.
A BRINDLE BULL IN TOWN.
How Two Heartless Citizens Betrayed
the Confidence of a Visitor.
From the Thomson (On ) Journal.
J-ast Thursday night a small brindle bull
came in to Thomson aud acted in a most un
becoming and disgraceful manner. When
lie crossed tlie railroad lie lifted up Ills voice
and informed the town that he was from
the Montgomery district, and that he was
on an everlasting, pluperfect spree generally.
He said he was here to horn out the stock
law or anything else that came in his way,
and he dared the United States to stand
before him. He said many improper and
unkind things about tlie people of this
town, and volunteered the assertion
that he could shoulder tho depot
and carry it tfl Brier creek. He said that
Thomson was putting on airs and ought to
lie taken down, and that lie was here for tiiat
purpose; and when he bellowed up toward
Brier Row it looked like he was going to
upset the entire block. But when he reached
Scott’s corner he turned down Railroad
street, still talking extravagantly about
what he was able to do. At HolzendorFs
store he threw his tail over his back, turned
over a box and smashed a barrel, and then
called for Col. (>. Washington Seay and dared
him to bring out his wild mules and imper
ishable wagon. Col. Seay lioiug sound asleep
diil not respond, but Jack Smith and Fetor
Knox did. Jack found a bundle of fodder
which he held to the bull’s nose. Tho bull
put dewti his irate tail and Jack pro-ceded
to toil him that he was entirely m staken
about Thomson. He assured him that the
people of the town were very kind and hos
pitable, and that Col. Seay was a gentleman
who wore one gallus and chewed plug
tobacco. He also stated that if lie
would follow him up town he should have a
barrel of fodder and two bundles of corn,
and Inter promptly agreed to carry a bar
rel that he might butt aud smash at his
pleasure.
The procession up the street was very im
pressive. First, Jack, with a melancholy
face and a bundle of fodder; then the bull,
stating, every few yards, that he was a son
of Andrew Story’s famous animal, and
that he could hold the courthouse or any
other man out, in the wet, and then, with
an empty barrel, l’etor, solemn but deter
mined to uphold the honor of the town.
At the hotel corner Peter suddenly disap
peared. but soon returned with a rope
which looked ominous and suggestive, lie
was a little late, but lie saw that the bull
was following Jack, and the all-important
tail was also in the procession.
Mr. John F. Sutton’s back lot never wit
nessed such consummate deceit and duplic
ity as these two boys practiced upon that
country bull. While Jack Smith held the
seductive and tempting fodder to his nose,
Peter attached a rope to his tail, with a
running noose at one end and a barrel at the
other. Then they opened the gate and told
the bull that it was getting late, aud that
it was time for him to get home. It is re
markable how suddenly, promptly and
speedily he did get up and git. When he
turned Judge Thrasher’s corner, the barrel
swung him out in the street, but it did not
stop him from saving that Thomson is a
huge humbug. At the railroad crossing the
barrel, which was doing its beet to keep up,
struck an iron and landed on the bull’s
back. Then that entire part of the towh re
sounded with his remarks. It is astonishing
what florid language he used and how elo
quently he emphasized it with that barrel.
He talked ail the way out the street and
said many unpretty tilings. He passed
Judge Worrill on the sidewalk, who stood
and looked at the procession while it dashed
by. He says that the bellow, the bull and
the barrel were so close together that, he
couldn't tell how they ran, but rather thinks
that tlie barrel was ahead.
Wo have heard only once of this irrup
tive and erratic animal. About 12 o’clock
he crushed through Judge Hodo’s front
yard. The Judge happened to be up when
the procession passed. He says he is confi
dent, that the bull was in front, and he
knows the barrel was next, and be thinks
the bellow followed and hung to the trees
and had cuss words in it. He says that,
from the nppearance of the bull, it seemed
to him the animal had had a God’s lavish of
Thomson and of barrel.
Fast Traveling.
From the A merinis (On.) RemMican.
Henry Johnson came in from Webster
Thursday. He says that the Amerieus,
Preston and Lumpkin trains are most too
fast for tlie slow people over there. An old
lady got on the train last week, took a seat
at the window and was talking to her
daughter on the platform. The bell rang to
start off. and the old lady reached out her
head to kiss the girl. She smacked her lips,
but was disgusted to see she had kissed a
big black negro man at Plains of Dura,
twelve miles on the way to Amerieus.
Advice to Motnera.
Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup should
always be used when children are cutting
teeth. It relieves tho 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. 25
cents a bottle.
