Mrs. Cleveland, wife of Dr. J. R. Cleve land, of Cleveland, died at her home on Poplar street at 1 o’clock Sunday afternoon after a long illness. A gang of seven pickpockets, who came To the Piedmont Exposition at Atlanta to ply their avocation, occupy cells in the po lice station of that city. At Hartwell, Sunday, John A. Toasley and Miss Lucy Brown, both of Bio neigh borhood, were married. The oontratract ing parties are aged respectively 1C and 10 (10x16). The Middle Georgia Military and Agri cultural College, at Milledgeville, has a larger number of students tbnn ever before at this season of the year. Up to Christmas last year the total enrollment was 344, while up to this time this year 353 names have already been entered. An old colons! woman, named Jane Mitchell, died in Milledgeville last week, who had attained the remarkable age of 116 years. She was the mother of thirteen children, and had eleven grandchildren, forty-four great grandchildren and one great-great grandcTiild. Tom Allen, of Americus, has received an appointment under the United States gov ernment on the Mexican frontier which is a very pleasant and lucrative one. He has accepted, but on account of the serious ill ness of his mother it is undecided when ho will leave to assume his duties. At Macon Tuesday in United States Court Charles F. Abbott, Postmaster at Pelham, pleaded guilty to the charge of em bezzling $27, and as the money had been re funded by his bondsmen as soon as the de ficit was discovered, and as his health was very poor, sentence was suspended. The amount paid by Richmond county this year toward the erection of the State capita) is $ I i.T-t+i hi). It is the pro rata of the county in the general appropriation for this year. Jiast year Richmond paid $9,000 on a like appropriation, and the appmpria be kept up, of course, until the capitoi is completed. Joe F. Davis, of Griffin, has sold his stock of groceries to Bass Brothers, and the goods were moved down to the large stores of the rtrm. Davis will remain in Griffin, but will go into some other line of business. L. B. Whatley, who has been with Mr. Davis since his house opened, will leave Gridin for Decatur, Aia., where he will go into busi ness. David Porter, Grand Master of the Grand Lodge Independent < Irder of Odd Fellows, was in Milledgeville Monday with his depu ties for the purpose of organization of Oconee Lodge of Odd Fellows. The charter members are C. B. Hendrix, George Hang, H. Turner, C. W. Ennis, R. W. Roberts, T. E. White, L. H. Andrews, H. E. McComb, E. E. Bell, John T. Allen. Fred Vaughn, an old citizen of Walton county, recently lost his pocketbook, whiio in Social Circle, which contained at suit SIO,OOO in notes, and some money. The pocketbook was found by a colored man, named Robert Foster, who is the head cook at Morrow & Cheney’s restaurant, and was promptly returned to its owner ,who was in considerable trouble about it. William T. Hanlmum, of Atlanta, who has been stopping at the Coleman House, New York, lost a pocketbook, last Friday which contained fifteen SI,OOO certificates on the Second National Bank, of New York, as well as drafts, papers and some cash. The certificates, which were payable to Mr. Harbauni’s order, have been cancelled, and, therefore, are useless to the finder. In the United States Court at Maeon Tuesday Abe Yancey, of Cracker’s Neck, Jasper county, was tried for running a blockade distillery and acquitted. He was immediately placed under arrest by the Sheriff for violating the State laws. Pro ceedings were instituted to forfeit the land on which the still was located, and which belongs to Lynch, father of the principal witness for the defense. This, if forfeited, will l>e the se<*ond instance of forfeiture during the present term of court for a similar offense. Quitman county was well represented at the Atlanta show. A few have returned, and it is amusing to hear the various re ports. Some say that while it is no big thing, it is a very good exhibit, and fully worth the worry and exjienso to see, while others say it is a complete swindle. Others say that to one who lias never seen the Gate City of tho State, it is worth the low rate of travel to see the city. One man re|x>rts that the show is a swindle, and an oppor tunity to gouge unsuspecting visitors, und that it was not uncommon to charge a coun tryman $3 for leaning against a lamp post in the absence of a seat, to rest his tired limbs and body. Last Sunday morning, among the pas sengers on one of the southbound East Ten nessee trains that stopped at East Rome to take breakfast, were a Bostonian, his wife and children, and a colored nurse. The Boston man led his proeession into tlie din ing room of Langford’s restaurant, and un dertook to seat them all, the nurse included, at a table. Mr. Igingford’s attention was immediately called to the matter, and he went at once to the man and informed him that he could allow no such proceeding at his house. The Bostonian became indignant, whereupon Langford ordered liim out Tho affair created quite a little excitement in East Romo at the time, and was the talk of aJI. Saturday morning the town hall, one of the oldest landmarks in Athens, was sold to the highest bidder by Chief Oliver. This old hall has been an eye-soro to the people of the city for a long time, and every effort lias been made to get it out of the way. Tlie town hall has been the scene of many a bard-fought political contest and midnight carousal, it has been used for everything, from a theatre to church purposes; from political speaking to negro break-downs. It, however, lias seen its day, and Saturday the Chief of Police knocked it down to Hiram Crawford for SBO2, the brick and rock lieing reserved by the city. Mr. Hiram Crawford will move the old building on his lot, and turn it into a livery stable. It was built in 1847. At Chaunoey Dr. J. 0. Montgomery had his right leg broken, about 2 o’clock Tues day morning. He had been very sick for several weeks, and had only been out on the streets a few days, and had started to At lanta to meet a physician there in consulta tion. and getting to the warehouse crossing on the track, found it to be blockaded by a freight train, that hail been standing there for over two hours. He, with several other gentlemen, started to cross over on a coal car, and, passing to tho end of the car, getting on the coupling, went to jump off, when one of his feet caught in the coupling, twisting his leg, causing the log to break. The crack was heard by parties several paces off. It is thought that Dr. Montgom ery has a case against the road, and will prosecute it, unless settled outside of the court house. Wrightsyille is considerably worked up just now on account of H. V. Kent, the freight agent, express agent, und a guano agent, running away on last Friday night. It is supposed that lie had at least $2,000 be longing to his guano firm, for whom ho was acting as agent, and tlie amount of express packages lie took. It is impossible. How ever, to ascertain tlie exact amount of money Kent left with. He drew from his guano and cotton shipped to his factors $1,200, and he collected ou Friday evening all the freight bills duo the railroad, and hired a horse and buggy that night and drove tip about Tonnille, where lie left the horse and buggy by the roadside, where they were found the next day. He left a wife and two or three children here His father was one of his bondsmen as to his fn'ight and express agency, and was re sponsible for tile guano, it is said. FLORIDA. Business at the United States Land Office continues good. The bond required of Volusia county s Treasurer is sls,o<>o. Macclenuy is agitating for an ice factory and cold storage warehouse. The Leesburg Commercial is out with a largo and readable trade issue. A 13 year-old grove at Satsuma produced 3,800 boxes of oranges last year. Fort Meade having vanquished the sore eye plague lias reopened her schools. The farmers of Bradford county have raised an immense rice crop this year. The First National Rank of St. Augustine will be removed to a fine new building Nov. 1. Goldstein’s Hotel, that is being built for Mr. Armstrong, at Punta Gorda, is nearing completion. One can drive from Punta Gorda to Fort Myers in four hours, while it tukes a day to go by steamer. In Bradford county the strawberry farm ers are feeling good over the light, though frequent showers. At DeLand O. T. Bohannon was robbed of about $25 last Thursday night, by some one entering his room. The balance on hand now from Volusia county's general revenue fund is $5,000.40 and from road account $8,443.35. Lawyers from Orlando argued before Judge Broome, at DeLand, Tuesday on the legality of the Orange county election. The Rev. Mr. McKcnnv has accepted a call from the Baptist church of Do Rand and will commence his ministry Sunday, Nov. 6. A pavilion and boat-house is to be built on Alligator CreoK, near Punta Gorda. This will nuike a splendid drive for an excursion party to spend the day. The old landmark, “The Barracks,” at Punta Gorda is being tom away from the Hotel Punta Gorda grounds The hotel im provements still continue. The lighthouse is nearing completion on OasparilTa Island, at Bocca Grand. This is temporary for the immediate demand of the Morgan Steamship Line, and the Repre sentative in Congress will this winter en deavor to have an expensive one with the latest improvements constructed John V. Brown, of Suwannee Shoals, was in Lake City Monday, and reported 3,000 bushels as his this year’s crop of corn. He now has 1,000 bushels of last year's crop on hand, after fattening off the surplus fifty six head of meat hogs. His crop of to bacco is all packed and ready for market. A. M. Wilson spent several days in Arca dia last week. He started for Miami Thurs day to inquire into the condition of the Indians in that part of the country. Mr. Wilson Is endeavoring to locate the remnant of the Seminole tribe on homesteads, but is not meeting with much success. They seem perfectly content with their present homes in the Everglades, and the very idea of mauling rails and plowing an ox makes the average bravo feel tired. Mr. Wilson will write a book on the subject when he returns from his trip. Campville was awakened Monday night by the report of a pistol. Upon investiga tion it was found that a negro named John Jackson had shot and fatally wounded an other negro named Albert llamcs. Gam bling was „the cause of tho difficulty. The shot was fired from a 38-calibre pistol, striking Barnes in the back and passing through his body, struck another negro in the temple, knocking him down. The mur derer escaped under cover of the darkness. Messrs. Camp Bros., of Campville, have worked hundreds of hands in the last six years, and this is the first difficulty of a fatal character that has over occurred here. Thomas McGill, general agent of the Western and Atlantic railroad, and of the Associated Railroads of Georgia, with head quarters in Chicago, reached Atlanta Tuesday. In an interview he said: “Trav eling passenger agents throughout the Northwest are working hard for Florida’s interest, and expect to have an immense throng of tourists into the State the coming winter. An awakened interest in Florida is already manifest, and traveling passenger agents are looking forward with groat ex jMs-tation to their convention in Jackson ville on Jan. 10, and expect a royal recep tion. From sixty to seventy-five will go from Chicago alone. The Slate needs more general advertising in the Northwest.” Tlie timber shippers of Pensacola former ly named what stevedores should load their ships. The last Legislature made it a fine of SSOO for merchants to influence the Cap tain of a vessel in selecting stevedores. The stevedores then formed a pool, several per sons were refused licenses by the pilot com missioners, ami one colored stevedore who was granted a permit for a license, was re fused a license until he stood another ex amination. Judge McClellan Tuesday de cided that the Board of Pilot Commission ers had no right to appoint a board of ex aminers, and that it had no control over licenses. This decision upsets all calcula tions and combinations for the winter, and the outcome is eagerly looked for by all par ties. The City Council has placed a patrol of ton men on the outskirts of Orlando to keep a watch out for stragglers from the direc tion of Tampa. The City Marshal has been appointed chief of this force, w-ho is to see that they arc properly distributed to guard the city. These men are to report to the Marshal at 5 o’clock a. m. each day to re ceive their instructions, and shall remain on duty until sundown, when they will lie re lieved by a night force, which shall patrol the outskirts until morning. Each member of tlie Board of Aldermen is to have super vision of a designated beat, and is to see that tlie instructions are carried out. A quarantine station is established at some, point out of town, at which all parties not" able to give the proper account of them selves will be detained. C. W. Witte, a Western Union Telegraph operator at Jacksonville, who jokingly told a woman operator at Tallahassee that there were 350 cases of yellow fever at Jackson ville, appeared before a committee of citi zens Tuesday ut the instance of Superin tendent Dillon and explained how he came to send tlie report. Tlie committee, consist ing of J. J. Daniel, Neal Mitchell, M. D., John Q. Burbrldge, J. H. Durkee, and C. H. Jones, recommended “thut you accept Mr. Witte’s resignation and terminate las connection with the office im mediately and withhold any pay that may bo due him for services rendered. It is proper to sav in this connection that, but for the fact of Mr. Witte’s having pre viously tendered his resignation we should have been disposed to suggest the infliction of a penalty less than that of dishonorable discharge, but somewhat more commensu rate with tlie gravity of the offense. It is our opinion further that tho offense of the Tallahassee operator, if on further investi gation the facts in her case bo proven to tie as stated, is equally grave, lieing mitigated only by her inexperience. We would recom mend, "therefore, if the facts brought before us be substantiated, that she be subjected to punishment in some form equivalent to that which we have recommended in the case of Mr. Witte.” Tho Rev. Sidney Crawford, pastor of the Congregational church in Tampa, writes Rev. Sir. Gale, of Jacksonville, the Home Missionary Su[>erintendent for Florida, thatfhe is holding the fort alone with the exception of his Catholic friend, the priest. He is the only Protestant minister who is attending the sick and dying, but there is one other there “who is sick with the dis ease.” He says he finds it “rather romantic to think how I am walking about among the dead and dying, hut for the last three weeks I have attended only one funeral, and before the stampede became general the other ministers attended three or four. THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, OCTOBER 2ft, 1887. while sixty or seventy have been sick.” This would seem to be a little satire on some of the wild report* as well as a serious correction of them. “The violence of the disease,” he writes, "has ranged all tho way from a stiff neck to a moderately lively break-bone fever. I visited twenty live of tho sick people to-day (Oct. 12), and a more comfortably sick set of people I hardly ever saw. Some I met up and dressed; some had gotten out of doors; some were exclaiming, *Oh! how my back aches, etc.’” Mr. Gale says that the Rev. Mr. Crawford is a faithful and beloved pastor, as his works show, and that it is just as true that ho never lias been a foolhardy man, and it is probable that he is not such now and that he is a man of family, reputation and livelihood, and has as much to live for as any man. “Git I” and They Got. From the Hartwell (da.) Sun. Mai. J. H. Skelton related in our hearing the following diverting incidents of the sanguinary battle of Shurpsburg or Autie tam: Gen. Barksdale drew his brigade up in line, and addressed them in substance as follows: “Men, upon this battle hangs in all proba bility the destiny of the Confederacy, the destiny of our beloved homos, the destiny of oar property, tlie destiny of our fathers, of our mothers, of our wives, of our sweet hearts; then let every man of us be a ‘hero in the strife’ and acquit ourselves like men. If there lie a man among you that possesses none of these precious things thot I have just enumerated, and feels that he has noth ing to battle for, if he will step to the front I will give him permission to retire to igno minious safety.” At this juncture two lean, lank, dirt eating looking shadows of men stepped to the front, and one of them in nasal tones drawled out: “Gen’rul, me’n him,” pointing to his com rade, “haiu’t got no home, no pappy, no mammy, no wife, no sweetheart, an nary nigger—kin we go?” The General looked at them with wither ing scorn for a few seconds, and then point ing to the woods in the roar, thundered — “Git I” And they got. While the battle was at its height, and the cannons’ thunder fairly made the ground quake, and tho shells and grapeshot shrieked through the murky air like verita ble demons, Gen. “Ranse” Wright saw a fellow running out of tho fight like a scared rabbit. The General drew his pistol, and, putting spurs to his horse, intercepted the recreant soldier and shouted to him: “Go back to your place, sir; go back, or I’ll shoot you ! ” The frightened skulker yelled hack: “Shoot and tie d—— to you; them fellers hev got ad sight bigger guns than you hev I” and, darting under the General’s horse's telly, incontinently took to his heels. The above yarns of Maj. Skelton recalls to our mind the witty pun of an old “Johnny Reb” on the march to Hagerstown, Md., just before the battle of Sharpsburg. Many of the soldiers were barefoot, and the soles of their feet were worn and bleeding. Our company which had been detailed as rear guard, had halted in the road for a mo ment's rest. One old fellow, Joe McCracken, sitting on the roadside, held his feet up for the Captain’s inspection and pointing to huge stonebruises on either foot, said in lugubrious tones: “Cap’n, these are the (lays that try men’s soles!” Tho company groaned, while some of them cried, “Kill him on the spot.” McCracken had his arm disabled by a shaiqisliooter’s bullet in the trenches around Petersburg, but refusing a discharge, was among the few ragged rebs that grounded their arms when the sun of the Confederacy went down behind the hills of Appomattox. The Fighting Man. From the Griffin ( Ga .) News. Before the war I lived in a small moun tain village noted far and wide for its numerous “doggeries” and for its fisticuff fights. A young farmer named Hammerslag.who had been to the gold mines of California and returned with a fortune of SI,OOO. sought to increase his ducats, as well as his social position, by opening a rather stylish place with the usual stock of French brandy, so-called, rum, gin, whisky, etc. Mr. Hammerslag was a small, delicate man, but having traveled, was disposed to put on airs with his mountaineer customers, thereby giving offense to the rowdy ele ment, so that on several occasions they handled him quite roughly. But, being a man of resources, he rose equal to tho emergency. There lived in the mountains near by a big, raw-boned, freckle-faced youth of 22, 6 feet 6 inches tall, weighing 240 pounds, and thin at that, whom Hammerslag employed at tho magnificent salary of $lO a month and board, drinks included, to do his fighting. London, that was his name, was as strong as he was high, and was as brave as he was good natured. But ho knew his business and was always on hand when there was a row. At a nod from the proprietor he would put out or throw out a noisy or turbulent customer without ceremony, always telling him that “he was hired to do the fighting for that concern.” On one occasion three of tho leading bul lies of the county concluded to clean out tiie doggery and whip London. All throe tackled him at the same time. Ho grabbed one by the seat of liis breeches and nape of the neck and pitched him out of the back window. He caught each of the other two by their coat collars and proceeded to butt their heads together with a force that mac le them see stars, asking at each concussion if they had enough. After giving them bloody noses and sore heads ho turned them loose in a quiet, good-natured way, telling them to come again when they wanted a little fun. So crestfallen were they that they wore not seen in the village again in six months. London, the fighting man, was respected thereafter by the rowdies. Save the Handcuffs. From the Americus (Ga.) Recorder. One day last week Sheriff Markett wanted a negro in Andersonvillo arrested. Not having a deputy at hand, they all being busy in the court, he swore in Mr. Peek of that neighborhood, who is well known in this vicinity for his eccentricities. Peek was very much elated at being made a bailiff temporarily, and determined to make his arrest in great style. Up to Andersonville lie went, found his man, and in a very authoritative manner told him lie was under arrest, at tho same time clapping on tho handcuffs. Tho negro didn’t like the manner in which tlie arrest was made, and without any more ceremony than was necessary he got onto his legs and ran away, handcuffs and all. Peek, being a cripple, could do nothing but stand and yeli at the floeing darkey. Almost para lyzed, he made lus way to the telegraph office, and telegraphed to tho Sheriff what to do. The Sheriff sent the very characteristic message: “Save tho haudeuffs, any how.” Peek hunted the neighborhood over, but no darkey. Saturday morning the court house offi cials were sent into rears of laughter by the appearance of the lately arrested darkey, who still had on his handcuffs, who quietly gave himself up, saying he didn’t want to be arrested in a high-toned way, any how. Peek hasn’t been in town since. Constipation Has Many Victims, And the ondeavor to find relief with the cathartic, the injection, the aperient and laxative are distressing.

Recorder. Last week when tho Americus, Preston and Lumpkin passenger train made its first through trip to Abbeville a prominent Americus drummer, who will be nameless on account of his excessive modesty and good looks, boarded the train, with the de termination to take a lot of orders or die. No matter whom he met, or where he was, he had made up his mind that he would paralyze the house with his big business. He so expressed himself while the train was going from Americus to tho river. A big section boss, who lives beyond Coney, and just this side of Seville, confi dentially told the drummer there was a big gang between the two stations who were out of rations and other stuff, and he (the boss) had no doubt but that he could place many orders, as the men were all reliable. Tho drummer was happy, and after Coney hud been passed, wherever a log cabin could bo seen he was in for having the train stopped and letting him off. He was so frantic about it that at last, as the train had slack ened speed to go through a bad new cut, the section boss told him to get ready, as beyond tiie cut lay the inviting field. The drum mer shouldered his grip, and as tho cut was passed, the boss pointed to a great, hea v y man lying down by a log fire, telling him there was the boss of the crowd, and to tackle him first. Off tlie drummer jumped and the train sped on. Making as much noise as possible to awaken the seeming sleeper as he ap proached him, the man from town was sur prised to find he made no movement. Look ing around ho was astonished to find that there wasn’t a single tent or cabin to be seen, and when he had summoned up enough courage he found his expectant cus tomer was—a dummy. The drummer had been left alone in the woods! A little dismayed, but not disheartened, the drummer prepared some fire-brands and started to find a human habitation. Through the woods, through the fields, over streams and valleys he wandered until at last, he came to a fenced in field. Following the fence, after several hours hard walking he came to a house, and after making uproar enough to raise Satan—as he thought—he got the farmer out, who, happily, proved to be an ok! friend. It was thou 4 o’clock in the morning. And here comes the drummer's revenge, His friend was all prepared for an early wedding party, and the breakfast and everything was on the table. The drummer lost no time in inviting himself to the feast, and had a meal fit to make the kings envious. By the time he was through a crowd was on hand and he billed several good orders. He was then driven to the railroad and took tho first train for Abbe ville, happy and contented, even if he had walked all night. THE USE OF THERMAL WATERS. Many Valuable Springs in America Which Will Become Health Resorts. From Harper's Magazine. Geologically considered, a thermal spring isf one whose temperature exceeds that of the mean annual temperature of the place where it flows; that is to say, the spring must be warmed by volcanic or other inter nal heat. But by this definition any spring, say in Northern Labrador, that should force its way through a frost-bound soil at a temperature barely higher than the freezing point, would have to be called thermal; and so in physicians’ usage the term is limited to include only those waters which are warm enough to supply warm and hot baths at their own natural temperatures, or at less than these; for they range from 90° upward, past tho bathing point and well toward the boiling. Thermal spring baths are taken at the temperature which I have deserived as tepid and warm, and in the lower range of tlie hot. The tepid thermal baths are es eqxcially calming to the nerves. At some of those baths the waters aro drunk, though they have little other than a gentle laxative offect. The waters are generally trans parent and colorless; often they contain car bonic acid gas, and sometimes chloride of lime or common salt. At Neris and at Schlangenbad the water has a somewhat unctuous feel, or “texture,” in the technical description of it, which is very agreeable. Nothing, indeed, can be pleasanter than a well appointed thermal bath; its tempera ture and the carbonic acid gas which it gen erally contains, are at once its main cura tive and comforting agencies. Mineral waters occur at many places in Europe and America; often in wild upland or mountain regions of exquisite beauty, where mountain rides and rambles form a part of the hygiene permitted or prescribed. Our own country has an ample number of such springs, but tlie greater part of them are not as yet sufficiently improved to bo comfortable and attractive, and attractions and comfort are of no small importance to the visitor at a thermal spring, especially when it is a troubled mind that seeks restoration. I must not say that nono of our thermal waters are improved. Among thoso that offer comfort to the invalid are (hose at Santa Barbara, in Southern Cali fornia, which has at least good hotel accom modation : the Idaho “hot springs,” where there are both hotels end bathing establish ments; and the “warm springs” and the “hot springs” of Bath county, Virginia, which are improved and in benutitul re gions. All of these are true thermal springs owing comparatively little to their mineral constituents, and are both attractive and effective cures; nor are these all that might Ik; mentioned. In due time this will be a laud of bath cures, and invalids will come to us from Euro)ie, as wo now go thither, for change and for comfort. A Savannah Drummer Killed. From the Arcadia (Fla.) Arcadian. Thursday morning’s train brought to our city a gay and festive drummer from tho Forest City of tlie South. As he stepped upon the platform he anxiously inquired if we were not afraid of yellow fever. His mutilated remains were shipped to his sor rowing relatives in his “Old Savannah Home.” Rough on Rata,” Clears out rats, mice, roaches, flies, ants, bedbugs, beetles, insects, skunks, jack rab bits, sparrows, gophers. 15c.
