6 GEORGIA AM) FLORIDA, NEWS OF THE TWO STATES TOLD IN PARAGRAPHS. A Boy Accidentally Shot While ’pos sum Hunting Near Americus A Novel Lawsuit Against an Estate at Marietta—A Penknife Over 100 Years Old Owned in Taylor County. GEORGIA. The Rome Land Company will soon build r blast furnace with a capacity of sixty tons per day. Elberton is short of dwelling houses. There is a constant demand for them, and there are no vacant ones. Mrs. R. C. Paris, of Reynolds, received the first prize of a medal worth 150, for the finest display of needlework at the Piedmont Exposition. H. D. Watts, a grocer of Americus, has transferred liis stock of groceries and brick business block to his two principal creditors, Johnson & Harris aud J. D. Hudgins, of Mai •on. Atlanta claims that the Piedmont Exjiosi tion has a cash profit of SIO,OOO, besides pay ing over #15,000 for the buildings aud grounds. This alleged success has caused a plan to be started for a world’s fair in 1880. Henry W. Grady has just been presented •with aii elegant and costly testimonial for his services to the city of Atlanta. The present was a handsome tea and coffee set, of solid silver, consisting of six pieces, anjl cost $1,200. The bell for the new court house clock at, Americus has arrived, and it is a huge affuc. It weighs 1,040 pounds, is 30 inches in diameter at the,base and SO inches deep. A man can safely squat down under -it, aud he would be in a good safe prison. The Atlanta police arrested one of Mari etta’s most upright citizens at the Piedmont Fair for a pickpocket last week. A man in a crowd had his watch stolen, and a fellow with a slouch hat got it. Tile Marietta citi zen, who was standing near, wearing a stiff hat, was taken as the party, arrested und searched. Of course, not finding the watch on his person, they had to turn him loose, while the real thief had time to get away. There was no prouder boy in Americus last Monday than Master Shelby Mvrick, when lie went to the train to see Ex-Presi dent Davis. The little fellow wore a medal E resented to his grandfather, Col. James i. Scudiler, of Tennessee, for bravery at the battle of Monterey in Mexico, when ho fought by the side of Mr. Davis. The modal was le£t as a legacy to Master Shelby, who wouldnot take thousands of dollars for it. At Rome, Tuesday, Pro Tern Mayor Printup ordered the washing of the street oars stopped. It was a singular edict, and one the company could not understand. They had obtained permission of the Coun cil to wash the cars on Broad street, and had gone to the expense of putting in proper appliances. Mayor Knox knew nothing of the issuing of the order until < 'ol. Magruder told him of it. He revoked it at once. Prof. Connor, Superintendent of the deaf and dumb asylum at Cave Springs, has a pin that contains a relic that he prizes very highly. It is a miniature hat. perfect in shape, made out of a piece of the hat Jeffer son Davis wore on his visit to Atlanta, and which was torn into hundreds of pieces by some of the old chief’s admirers, who want ed the pieces as relics. Ho secured several, and, out of one. had a hat made and put. in a gold frame. On Saturday night last Messrs. C. C. Knowles, J. AV. Boswell, Willie Keller, Henry Bibby, Albert and Robert Gibson, aud perhaps others all of Talbotton, started out for a ’possum hunt. It is said that three of the party had pistols, and soon after getting into the woods they began to fire off t heir pistols,and Albert Gib son, the smallest and youngest of the party was hit by a pistol ball. It entered his In sly in the back, near the spinal column and just below his shoulder blade. He will probably recover. A law suit is to be instituted against the estate of the late Judge N. B. Knight, of Marietta, by Mrs. M. E. Towler. of Arkan sas. sister to Judge Knight, for the recov ery of #3,000 and interest for twenty-seven years, which would make it about #B,OOO. It is claimed that the amount was trust money under a will from Mis. Towler’s father, an l that Judge Knight was made trustee under the will to keep Mrs. Towler’s husband from handling the money. Judge Knight’s wife claims to hold receipts from the husband of Mrs. Towler in settlement of the claim, but, it is said, the will does not recognize Tow lor’s right to receipt for the money. Equities are claimed on both sides. Capt. W. H. Tondee, of Americus, lias in his possession an Indian pipe that was given to his brother, Capt. Robert Tondee, by an Indian in Kansas in 1858 or 1859. Ihe bowl of the pipe is of red marble, very large and heavy. The stem is of some hard wood, about two feet long, oval shape, one and a quarter inches broad and one quarter inch thick. It is both a puzzle aud a curi osity. There are sixteen holes cut through the stem from side to side, some in the centre and some on the outer sides, and the smoke hole lengthway through the stem is the puzzle. How it was made through the bajfl wood, which is one piece, and curved around the holes and brass-headed tacks that ornament it is a puzzle. Martin Brooks, living near Fiekling’s mill, in Taylor county, lias a small, white handle pocketknife purchased in South Car olina by the great-grandfather of Sir. Brooks in 3734. It has been kept in the family, and handed down from sire to son for 153 years, and is now the property of Mamie, the little daughter of Mr. Brooks, who prizes the knife very much, it having been given by her grandmother. The knife has only one small blade, and is consider ably worn from having been very much used. In olden times steel pens were not known, and “old Mother Goose" in those days furnished the only instruments for writing, and this knife was purchased and used principally for trimming goose quiUs for writing pens. Rumor has it that Henry W. Grady has resigned his membership in the Capital City Club of Atlanta. This is how the story is told upon the streets: When the Capital City Club entertained President Cleveland there was a rush for tickets, and the com mittee that had the reception in hand found no little trouble in filling the demands. Mr. Henry W. Grady dropped a note to the committee requesting fifty blank tickets, to be filled out by himself. The committee refused the request on the ground that it was unconstitutional, that is the by-laws prohibited the issuing of more than a specified number to any member and the giving of blank tickets to anybody un der any circumstances. Mr. Grady appealed to President Mims, and the President said Mr. Grady ought to have tickets and should have them. So the committee was appealed to bv the President, but it did no good. (Said the committee: “The President, Mr. Grady, nor anybody else can make us vio late the laws of the club.” And Mr. Grady didn’t get the fifty blank tickets. So lie wrote another note, and this time it was his resignation as a member of the club. FLORIDA. Anew wharf is being built at Palmetto. Anew church is being built at Manatee. Eighty-five acres will be planted in vege tables at Ellenton this year. Pensions for services in the Mexican war have been granted Benjamin F. Hmool, of Candler, original; aud Nathan L. Gaus, of King’s Ferry. The Union church of Ellenton is almost completed; it is 40 feet long, 29 feet wide and 40 feet high: it is going to be a very handsome building. Perry, a little son of Fred Ellison, of St. Augustine, fell from a balcony last Sunday and fractured his elbow. Dr. Rainey reset the fractured member. It is said that the Hon. John G. lying, has no serious notiou of being elected Mayor of Sl Augustine, but simply wants to keep his' j name prominently before the people, expect ing to get the Republican nomination for Congress next year. The St. Augustine Improvement Com pany will erect a large concrete building on Bridge street to lie used for business pur | jKvea by George Myers & Cos. There is a protracted meeting being held I in Ellenton now, carried on by Rev. I). B. I Black and Rev. C. O. Curry. Quarterly i conference was also held last week, j Mrs. Walters, of Lake Butler, having pur ! chased Mrs. H. W. Epi<crson’s stock of niil j linerv, and having ordered more from New I York, left yesterday for Olustee to open a i millinery store. George W. Gibbs will be succeeded as cashier of the First National Bank at St. Augustine, by Josiab James, of New York. Mr. Uitibs takes the management of the new savings bank. Mrs. J. G. Owen, of DeLand, has invented a method of hemstitching on the sowing machine. It is said to be an excellent plan, as it is simple and saves much labor. She has applied for a patent. Henry M. Flager, of St. Augustine fame, paid #4OO in New York for the choice of a private box for the first performance of Mrs. James Brown Potter. Mr. Astor se cured second choice for S2OO. Instead of going ahead to erect a building on their new lot near the foundry, at Gainesville, the Florida Fertilizer Company will build an addition to their other build ing, and continue business at the old stand. At the meeting of the Executive Commit tee of the Alachua Immigration Association on Monday, it was voted that petitions lie circulated asking the County Commissioners to appropriate a fund to assist in advertising Alachua county; also to aid in making an exhibit at the Hub-Tropical. It is rumored that H. D. Stevens, who has been in charge of Runlet's cafo at Or lando during the time of Mr. Ranlet’s ab sence in the North, has left for parts un known, leaving several unpaid bills of con siderable size. Mr. Ranlet had leased the cafe to Stevens for the summer. Some amusing things occurred at Orlati do, Tuesday, after it was known that all parties would lie arrested who iiad not [>aid their State aud county license. A good many claimed they were not in business, ami some took down their signs, and various and sundry reasons were given why they should not pay. E. F. Joyce Is boring another artesian well on the Ponce de Leon grounds at St. Augustine, the water from the one bored lately being a trifle salt. Work on the Ponce de Leon is progressing finely. The finishing touches are now occupying the at tention of the workmen prior to o[>ening the hostelry which will occur some time in January. Bradford's Drainage Company now have the lakes around Starke lowered from two and one-halt to three feet, and there is still an average depth of water in the canal of four feet, with a rapid current. The marsh lands are almost dry, and the company coni ine ced Saturday with a force of ten hands clearing a 100-acre track on the south side of Sampson Lake for farming purposes. The newly incorporated town of Winter Park is moving rapidly toward getting un. der way n-s such. The Council has hail two meetings and passed a number of ordi nances. They expect to have sidewalks laid, a large new school building erected and other iiniiortant improvements. The pn sent town officials are live, wide-awake men, aud will let nothing deter them from doing their duty and enhancing the interests of the town. The whole of both floors in the Cushmnn building at Pensacola were flooded by tho rains Wednesday, the roof, blown away in the storm of Oct. 19, not having been re placed. White’s printing office, the tele phone central office. Catholic Knights’ room, Pons’ barber shop and Cushman’s drug store are more or less damaged. The several parties mentioned speak of an at tempt to recover their losses by law, if they be not made good otherwise. Tho building is owned by David Wright, of New York State. The temperance movement in Nassau county was actively commenced Tuesday by a meeting of white and colored voters, which was presided over by R. S. Luken bill and Frank W. Lancaster, Secretary. After an explanation of the object of tfie meeting, which was to obtain the necessary one fourth of the voting population on a petition to the County Commissioners to or der a public vote ou the question of license, a committee was appointed to draw up petitions and circulate the same through the county and to present them before the com missioners at their next session. Capt. York and Mr. Craig have formed a partnership anil put up $3,000 t>et ween them to build and operate extensive pottery works at Lake Butler. Not only pottery and terracotta ware of all kinds will be made, but also drain tiling, common brick and flie brick. The buildings will commence this week and will be furnisbed with all the latest improved machinery used in the busi ness. A twenty horse-power engine will be put in, and the furnace will require 40,000 brick. Mr. Craig is a Scotchman, and has hail largo experience in his trade, not only in the old country but also in America. lie is now in South Carolina superintending some works there. On June 16, last, an elderly foreigner left the Magnolia Hotel, at Cedar Key, leav ing behind some baggage of little value. Nothing was heard of him until a few days ago his bones were found scattered around a camp in Fly Hammock, some five or six miles up the railroad, and some fifty or sixty feet from the track. One boot hail been re moved, and in the sock at the foot of a tree, were found his gold watch and sleeve but tons. He was identified by a peculiarly large umbrella and broad-brimmed pal metto hat. No marks on the clothing gave any clue to his identity or history. The scattered bones were gathered together and interred, and the valuables taken care of. At Jacksonville, Tuesday, AY. A. Gilbert narrowly escaped meeting with a very seri ous accident. If there is any man in the State who can open a safe under any and all circumstances Mr. Gilbert is the man, and for this reason he is always called upon to do this kind of work. On Tuesday he was engaged in opening, by force, a safe for Mr. T. V. Cashen, and in order to do so was endeavoring to drive a bolt in by means of a punch and sledgehammer. A strong man was plying the sledge with all his power, while Mr Gilbert directed the point of the heavy steel punch against tho end of tho bolt. Suddenly the man dealt the punch a tremendous blow, which broke it into sev eral nieces, and one piece struck Mr. Gilbert in the mouth, knocking out two teeth, breaking two others off and considerably stunning him, but fortunately no further injuries were sustained. He Went Hie Bond. From the Griffin (Go.) Sun. Col. Thurman is a kind-hearted man, and shows it every day he lives, some times in a very peculiar manner, as will be shown fur ther on. The Colonel has a number of ne gro tenants on his farm, and some of them are considered very bad pay when once they get in debt. Tho most notorious one of the lot in this respect a few days ago picked up his belongings and skipped to an adjoining plantation, where he boasted that he had got off the Colonel’s lands without paying rent, and as he was off the Colonel could not make him pav. These boasts coming to the ears of Col. Thurman he pro ceeded to take out u distress warrant, aud a bailiff went out and unceremoniously levied on a lot of soeil cotton which tho negro hail stored in his cabin. This brought the negro to his senses and he hastened off to town to see the Colonel and straighten up affairs. He told a pitiful story of want and struggles to keep the wolf from the door, and was so pathetic in the recital of his woes that the Colonel was almost melted to tears. His feelings were so wrought up that he went on the negro’s Ikiuil for the forthcoming of the cotton, which had been levied on for his benefit,’ when the negro returned home, profuse in his promises to come and pay hiR indebted ness so -soon as be could sell bis cotton. THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY. OCTOBER 28, 1887. ARE THERE WILD HORSES? i A Writer Gives Some Very Interesting ' Information on the Subject. At a recent meeting of the Bombay Nat i ural Historical Society, a paper was read by iJ. H. Steele on flie subject of “Wild Horses,” from which the following is taken: "Is there such a thing us a wild horse, an aboriginal or truly wild horse, in the world now' The answer is more than doubtful. The mustang of Mexico, the wild horse of the South American pampas, the brumhi of Australia, are all descendants of the domes ticatod animals introduced from Europe. The first horse was landed in America at Buenos Ayres in 1.537. In 1380 that is, in j less than fifty years—horses hail spread to regions us remote ns Patagonia. In Australia the diffusion of horses that have escaped from civilization has been quite as rapid, and iu 1875 it was found necessary to shoot as many as 7,O(XJ wild horses in tho colony of New South Wales alone. In some parts of Australia the l#rse pest has received legis lative notice. The wild horses tempt do mesticated horses to join them, and wild stallions also invade the Australian horse runs and vitiate choice herds in a most an noying manner. They recur to the ances tral manners in a way that is always the same. Each stallion, 1 Mr. Steele tells us, has his following of mares, ranging from a few up to forty or even fifty, aud these parties may tie separate or banded to gether into herds of considerable size, even, it is said, 400 strong. The young and tho weak males remain with a scanty or even no following. The stallion has to main tain his supremacy by frequent combats, which especially occur at certain seasons of the year. The animals are suspicious in the extreme, swift in (light, but bold in defense with tooth and heel in emer gency. They range extensively in searcli of pasture and water, and when hard pressed by danger anil famine the herds break up. It is said that each troop has a leader and implicitly obeys him. He is the first to face danger and give the hint to fly. When pressed the horses form a ring, with the mares and foals iu the centre, and defend themselves vigorously with their heels, or tiiey close in on tlieir opponent in dense masses and trample him to death. It is dis tinctly proved, then, that there can be no aboriginal or wild horse ir either America or Australia, although there are tens of thousands of unowned horses. Tradition points to Central Asia as the aboriginal abode of the horse, and there the original stock of wild horses may still jxissilily exist. Darwin’s statement that no aboriginal or truly wild liorso is known to exist must still lie held as explaining the exact position of this question; but, says Mr. Steele, we must supplement it by stating that ‘it is not certain that truly wild horses do not exist;’ and, on the whole, Mr. Steele concludes that the evidence is in fa vor of the existence of tho wild horse in Central Asia, but that we have no evidence as to his pedigree in relation to domestica tion. The wild horse of the British islands is now practically the Shetland pony, but lie is not the powerful animal described by Ciesar. Tho domesticated animal every where, however, reverts very easily to the savage state, and of the wild horse, so con sidered, Mr. Steele has much to tell us. His paces are a walk and gallop. The double and the centre are artificial, and it is still a mooted question as to whether the wild horse ever trots. ” The Beau Ideal of a Family Medicine. A remedy which promptly and completely re lieves ailments of such common occurrence as indigestion, constipation, biliousness and disor ders of a malarial type, is assuredly the beau ideal of a family medicine. Such is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which is not only capable of eradicating these complaints, but also counter acting a tendency to kidney troubles, rheuma tism and premature decadence of stamina. Taking it “all round,” as the pi rase is, there is probably not in existence so useful, effective and agreeable a household panacea as the Bitters. Nor is it less highly esteemed by the medical profession thanliy the families of America. Num berless testimonials from professional sources of irrefragable authenticity evince its merit. The demand for it abroad, no less than in the land of its discovery, is certainly increasing, time and experience of its beneficent effects confirming the high opinion originally formed of it.
