D. W. Weaver, of Atnoskeag, has re cently become heir, through the death of his brother is North Carolina, to a nice little fortune estimated at from SIO,OOO to $15,000 It was ;*,yited at Amerieus Wednesday that the parties who robbed the railroad safe in Eiiaville a few weeks ago, had con fessed to the detective and rostored the money. Wednesday, Elsie Lewi.

Judge Lamkin has ordered nil election to be held on Monday. Nov. 7, to determine the question of fence or stock law in the 407th district of Gwinnett county. That is the Lawrenceville district, and it is ex pected that the election will b# pretty close. Cuthbert Liberal: We heard a gentle man say the other day that he was gradu ally converting his farm into a sheep ranehe. The wool from a sheep is estimated to be worth $1 a year. Five hundred head would pay a nice little sum into the family exchequer and then not monopolize a man’s time by any means. I. Domingos, of Cuthbert, wears on State occasions a Mexican veteran’s badge made from a brass cannon used in the Mexican war. Mr. Domingos was under Col. Jeffer son Davis in that war, and made a good sol dier. He is now the recipient of a pension from the government, granted by a recent act of Congress to surviving veterans. Mort. Donaldson had tw-o “Palmetto State” citizens arrested last Saturday for refusing to pay his wife 400. toll for cross ing the iron bridge at Canton. The ease was compromised by the gentlemen jstying about ss.$ s . including cost, etc. The bridge is free to all citizens of Cherokee county, but non-residents must pay before crossing. Judge John Stillwell has just discovered two oil springs on his farm in Spalding county, which have awakened blissful dreams of untold wealth should further investiga tion warrant their development, A gentle man from Ohio, who has examined the springs, says the signs are as good for oil as on Hog creek. Allen county, Ohio, when first discovered there. The Pulaski County Commissioners at their last meeting on Oot. 20, awarded the contract for tiie building of three new bridges for Pulaski county to Louis J. Rivers; one of the bridges to be built across Big creek, on the Fountain’s mill road, know nas the Pato bridge, one across Bluff creek on the river road, and one across Bluff creek on tne Irwinville road. It is understood that the public printing fund of the State is exhausted, with a large quantity of printing still in the hands of the printer nich must be worked off with out pay un. • the next appropriation is available, .here are quit*- a number of lengthy reports, which greatly increase this expense. The Legislature was asked to ap propriate the necessary funds, but refused. The deficiency is estimated at $3,000. Albany.Veies. A gentleman of an adjoin ing county, who once owned and operated a grist mill, tells a go xl one illustrative of negro philosophy. He was at Ids mill ono day, when up rode a darkey with a sack of corn on his head, while he bestrided a lean and tired looking mule. “What are you doing with that sack of corn on your head ?” queried a spectator. "Well, boss, I got ’shamed making dis mule tote me and de corn too, so I takes the corn and carries it on my head.” • Dr. Tucker, of Brunswick, amputated W. Fennick’s left hand a few days ago. The operation was made necessary by the acci dental discharge of a gun. It occurred on St. Simons, and in this manner: Someone called Fennick’s attention to a hawk that was lurking around his residence, and he went into the house and grabbed his gun by the muzzle, and in getting it out struck the hammer against something ami it went off, blowing his left hand nearly off, so that it had to be amputated. A young man named Seph Itichetson lost his life at Warceboro Wednesday. lie boarded the train at Pearson and paid his fare to Waresboro. When that station was reached he, probably having been asleep and thinking the train was going by, or under some other mistaken impression, rushed to the platform and jumped from the moving train. He was thrown to the ground, and struck his head against a cross tie, crushing his skull, from the effects of which he died Thursday morning. Col. C. D. Maddox, of Canton, represent ing the estate of Horry W. Lathrop, late of Baltimore* deceased, last week sold to Judge Brown and Col. William A. Teasly, a one third interest in the “old copper mine prop erty.” Brown & Teasly now own a two thirds interest in the property and parties in Savannah the other one-third interest. Some time ago a spring of very highly im pregnated alum water was found on the property, and it is highly probable that it and the property will now lie developed. At Atlanta Wednesday Walter R. Brown and N. J. & T. A. Hammond, representing several New York creditors, appeared be fore Judge Marshall J. Clarke ami filed a creditor’s bill against the firm of I. C. Band man & Cos. They asked the court to ap point a receiver to take charge of the firm’s affaire for the benefit of the creditors. Judge Clarke granted the petition and apjtointed as receiver Mr. A. J. West, who at once assumed charge of the business. The amount of assets and liabilities is not stated. Marcus Kunz. an aged German tailor, who has moved from Perry to Hawkinsvilie is now using in his shop In Hawkinsvilie a pine table that he had mado in Parry in 1852, just thirty-five years ago. He made the uniforms for many of the young men who went to the war from Houston county in 18*51. He says he has lost thousands of dollars by the credit system, and ono of the debts he will hardly ever forgel is that duo by a gentleman for a suit of Slothes that he wore while representing his county in the Georgia Legislature. Griffin Sun: There are a number of small farms around Griffin, many of them owned by young men of the city. Small farms are what we want. There is not a young man in the city but should have a small farm in which to invest his little surplus. If he thinks that he has no surplus, let him buy a farm and in a few months he wifi have ac cumulated until his farm is well appointed, and he will not miss the cost of it. Agri culture is the hope of the country, and our young men must not only encourage it by precept, but by example. The cotton yard at the Central railroad depot, at Wavnesboro, has boon enlarged. Nothing has been done with the ruins of the bnck warehouse and the walls stand as if on guard. It is thought, however, that the old walls >vill be used to build anew warehouse upon. Seventeen thousand bales of cotton and abiut SIOO,OOO worth of gen eral merchandise, mail and express, are shipped from Waynesboro annually, which amount to more than all the other receipts and shipments together from all depots be tween Milien and Augusta. There is a movement among some of the moneyed men of Atlanta to erect a large plant for building and repairing cars, and manufacturing nuts ami bolts of all kinds. The policy of railroads as to repairing is changing' Years ugo they quit building thoir locomotives. Nexi they quit building their freight curs. Now they nud they can have them repaired by private corporation*, more cheaply than they can repair them themselves. Gen. Alexander say- the rail roads have enough to do to keep their cars running without having to watch a large force of workmen for repairs. Covington (Gu. ) Enterprise: A corre spondent from Doraville semis ns this item: “Many of your rea-lers remember hearing one year ago of the little eighteen months’ old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William A. Chestnut, near this place, falling in the well, a distance of sixty feet, and the mother jumping in after it, getting it and keeping it on top of twelve feet of water for near half an hour, when they were drawn up with little injury to either. On the morn ting of Oct, 21 the same child, while playing near the fire, fell into it and her her clothes nearly all burned off and her body was also badly burned. The mother l-ing near saved her child from a second terrible death.” The trustees have decided to sell the Tub man property, possibly the most desirable in Augusta, consisting of the Tubman man sion, the lot adjoining the office occupied by John Jay Cohen, the adjoining store, the office of Golden Khind anil James I’. Jack son, running through to Reynolds street. They will sell at public outcry, on Dee. 15. The terms of the sale are to be one-tenth cash, the balance in twenty years, in thirty-eight an nual payments, with 7 per cent in terest. It is rumored that the Commercial Club will become the purchasers of the Tub man mansion. It is their intention, if they purchase the property, to convert it into the handsomest club house in the South. Scott Davis’ little boy was hit by a snake, at Lawrenceville. last Sunday evening. He and one or two other boys nail gone over about the negro churcli to get chestnuts, and they saw something go into a hole and supposed it was a ground squirrel. They concluded to catch it, anil were trying with a stick to make it come out. The hole lx>- longod to t he snake, and itdefendod itself by striking back. It bit Mr. Davis’ son through the thumb. He at once returned home and Dr. Winn gave him prompt at tention, but the little fellow suffered ter ribly, the poison having taken considerable effect before any antidote was applied. He will probably recover. The snake was about 3 feet long, and known as the rattle snake pilot, one of the most poisonous snakes of this country. Columbus Enquirer: Policeman Cox was at Montgomery to see Mr. and Mrs. Cleve land, and he returned a sorer and a happier man. Thousands took him to be the Presi dent and heartily shook his hand. At Pike’s road, when the train was in waiting for the track to be cleared, the report got abroad that Cleveland was on board, anil Mr. Cox, taken for the President, was borne out on the shoulders of the men and placed on a passenger coach, and was loudly calk'd on for a speech. Mr. Cox. fully equal to the emergency, addressed the crowd in fine Imi tation of the Presiitent. He dwelt at length on the material weulth of the South and the rapid development of the same. He spoke of the hospitality of the Southern people, and closed with a fine eulogy on Alabama. After the speech he shook hands with the crowd, boarded the train again, and was soon speeding to Columbus. When ho reached the city his arm was so sore from violent handshaking that he was unable to go on duty. Brunswick Advertiser and Appeal: We call attention to the advertisement of a Sa vannah broker calling for city of Bruns wick bonds. An opportunity is here offered any one desiring to realize on their bonds, though the average holder is not over anx ious to part with them. They are a capital investment, paying 7 per cent, interest , and are quoted above par. How different from a few years ago, when the interest could not be paid, the city was harassed with suits and judgments, and the bond holders wore sick of Brunswick and her bonds. But the bond compromise and settlement with her creditors, whereby the city’s in debtedness was reduced from over S2OO,(XX) to SBO,OOO, the town commons property be ing accepted by the bondholders in lieu of the difference, placed us in a position to meet our interest promptly, and our bonds now float above par. A sinking fund of SI,OOO is also yearly paid into the hands of commissioners to "buy up and retire that amount of bonds, provided same can lie ad vantageously purchased, but at the last call for bonds no offere, if we mistake not, were as low as par. Sylvania Telephone: On Tuesday even ing of last week the train oil the Sylvania railroad was delayed in returning from Rocky Ford on account iff defective work ing of the pumps to the engine, which caused stopping at various places along the line between stations to get water into the boiler, and it was long after dark before it reached Sylvania. When the train was somewhere between Waters'station and the Ogeecliee Creek Mr. T. C. Moore, who was formerly engineer on the road, got on and asked to be put off at Waters’ station. The bell line being detached and Conductor Wells not having a lantern, having loaned his to Engineer Meldrim, lie could not sig nal for tiie tram to stop. Frieud Tom however, had no idea of lieing carried on to Sylvania, anil, without a word to Conduc tor Wells as to his intention, went to the front of the passenger coach, and when it was slacked in going down grade, just past the station toward Svl vania, he drew the coupling pin out anil ran back to tiie break, put it on, stopfasl the coach, got off and dis appeared in the dark. The engineer moved on to Sylvania, without knowing that the coach was left, and on account of the scar city of water in the tank he was unable to go back for the coach. Conductor Wells nail to lock up his express matter and bag gage in the coach and lug the mail sacks or pouches, about a mile and a half, and Mr. John Mercer one of our oldest and best citizens had to tramp it to town. FLORIDA. A four-legged chicken has just been hatched near Bartow. Charles Netso. of Sanford, was robbed last Monday night of $l2O. Tho work of rebuilding the burnt district at Sanford is going rapidly forward. A Ix'tir weighing 300 pounds was killed near Ethel, eloven miles from Sanford a day or two ago. At St. Augustine, Thursday, J. S. Des mukos. President of the relief fund, col lected $lB5 for Tampa. Several houses have been contracted for to be built at Apopka at ouoa The indica tions ore that'building operations will be quite lively. The Mayoralty contest at St. Augustine is narrowed down to William Ingraham and John G. Long, with Dr. J. K. Kainey a possible candidate. Tho citizens of Live Oak have contributed $2,0*14 by subscription, to which the Board of Education added s.">oo, which is to be used in erecting a public school building. The express business seems to lx* on a boom, as the offices at Enterprise, Spring Garden and Orange Park, which were dis continued last spring, have again boon opened for business. Whiting, a young son of J. M. Leßaron, hail one of his eyes blown out at Pensacola Wednesday night, by tin* explosion of a railroad torpedo, with which he was play ing. The boy is very severely injured, and may not recover. Father Swemherg says that he succeeded in raising $(500 in six days on his recent trip North, with which to replace tho furniture for the Catholic church in Sanford, whirh was burned in Doyle’s Hall at the recent fire. The church will soon be ready for oc cupancy. Drs. Kenworthy and Bacon, from Jack sonville, arrived at lakeland Thursday, after having gone over tho quarantine ground extending front Dade City, in Pasco county, to Bowling Green, in Polk county, a distance of fifty-seven miles. They re port tlieiuoelvos well pleased. THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1887. Nat R. Walker landod in Tallahassee last week from the Indian Territory. Having resigned his Indian agency, be will return to Cruwforuville and resume editorial con trol of the Wakulla Titiwe, and. no doubt, give his renders some interesting accounts of his experience in the wild W est. The tit. John’s Yacht Club, of Palatka, has just lx*en reorganized. The club has twenty names of members actual or pro mised on the list to start with, with a possi ble list of ten more. It Is said the Kerr City vachtmen wish to meet the club about Thanksgiving day, and that perhaps half a dozen yachts wilt be at Palatka from that town. At Warrington the results of the storm are just coming in. A schooner came in with her main and mizzeu masts gone W 'diii'-v day. The fug Java towed in the abandoned hull of another schooner loaded with min is* r. Another schooner wont ashore several days ago and is lieing wrecked. It is ru mored that the wreck of a hark, loaded with cotton, is in the gulf. Superintendent Brenner, of the Western Union Telegraph Company, was in Talla hassee this week and fully exonerated Miss Lynn, the sub-telegraph operator who re- I nuted the yellow fever report that recently caused such a rumpus. He says that con versation of operator* among themselves over the wires does not come under the company's rules of secrecy. At Pensacola, Thursday, the stevedores belonging to the contractors’ association, refused to employ colorist men in their lum ber vessels, anil no colored inau will I >** given labor in any timber vessel being loaded by the association contractors. It is said that the stevedores now doing business without a license will be arrested on war rants from the Criminal Court notwith standing the ruling by Jugde McClellan that the law* constraining stevedores to procure a license is unconstitutional. A colored woman near Tallahassee, gave birth toachild last week that completely lays the Siamese twins and Milly Christine m the shade. It has four well developed aud natural arms, hands, legs and feet, each, and two bodies up to a point just above the navel, here they join breast to breast and only one head caps the double body. The face, nose, mouth, eyes aud ears are natural, but the head is rather large and ill-proportioned. At the hack of the head is what appears to lx* a slightfonnation of two ears running into one. The child only lived a short time. Dr. R. G. Gamble, the attending physician, got permission to preserve the liody in alcohol, and he now has it in Ins office inclosed in a glass jar. Montieello Constitution: It is conceded that from (500 to 1,000 pounds of mer chantable tobacco per acre can be grown in Jefferson county—in fact, Mr. Bruce, on Mr. Kedney’s farm in this county, realized the past season from five acres of land *5,000 pounds of tobacco. Tills tobacco, if placed upon the market, will command from $1,500 to sl,Boo—from S3*MI to $3150 per acre. The same land—five acres—if planted in cotton would probably not yield exceeding 1,250 jxiuntLs of lint cotton, 250 jxiunds to the acre, and if it should bring Bc. per pound the sum total realized from the five acres would be SIOO. It requires not exceeding six months labor and attention to cultivate and prepare tiie tobacco for market. It re quirt's ten months of the twelve to culti vate, pick, gin and market the cotton. A mule ran away at Tallahassee Wednes day afternoon, going down the steep hill on Clinton street, and dumped a wagon load of negroes into the street near the crossing boulevard, in front of the residence of Henry Benreuter. The owner of the team, Richard Hndnall, a colored farmer from Gadsden county, had his neck broken anil died in stantly. His sister and a nephew were badly bruised and cut about the face, but not seriously. Another occupant of the wagon jumped out unhurt. The team got away and went on at lightning speed toward their home near Midway. The accident, it is said, was the result of too much bad whisky. Hndnall, it is stated, had iinbilxxl pretty freely and all started out of town in high glee. The team was finally captured, the wagon mended up, the body of the dead man placed in it after the inquest and the survivors drove sorrowfully homeward. A young man named Sears, claiming to be representing Finlay & Brunswick, drug gists, of New Orleans, La., arrived in Pen sacola a few days ago, and set about drum ming the town for orders. He sold W. A. D’Aiemberte a handsome bill, made a con tract to advertise a specialty in the Daily Commercial, and then asked Mr. D’Aiem berte to walk as l'ar os the bank with him, as lie wanted a little money and would have to be identified before he could cash a draft. Mr. D’Aiemberte told the fellow that as ho was not personally acquainted with him, he must decline to be a party to tho identification, and Seal's tixik his leave not altogether pleased. From D’Alemherte’s, Sears went to H. C. Cushman and tried the same game. Mr. Cushman was equally imper vious, and Sears left the city. Subsequent ly Mr. Cushman received a communication from Messrs. Finlay & Brunswick, who had gotten wind of Sears’ transactions else where, informing him to beware of the fol low, as he was a fraud of the first water. Sears has not been heard fi'om since. At the thirteenth regular meeting of the Peniel Horticultural Society, a few days ago, the offices for the ensuing year were duly filled as follows: President, Dr. Cyrus; Vice-President, Parson Becks; Treasurer, Parson Thomas; Recording Secretary, Capt. R. R. Brukoman, and Corresponding Secretary, Ix*wis Morris. Mr. Leyvraz in troduced the subject of asparagus culture. He thinks it would pay well in Florida, that is, to cultivate it for the New York market. He has known it to sell there early in the spring from PI 50 to $1 75 a bunch. It is easy to cultivate, and once put into the ground, anil properly cared for will make full yields for thirty years or more. After first setting out its cultivation requires very little more work than that of corn. It is a hearty feeder, however, and needs good fertilization to produce the best results, the largest shoots. The demand during the early season of production pre vailing here in Florida has never yet been fully supplied. It grows very fast and yields enor mously, and continues a regular supply for a space of six to eight weeks. Frost, even in the productive season, is of but little detriment. It will begin to yield the third year from the seed and thereafter a full an imal crop, for almqpt a life time. Mr. Strange lias seen it grow in Floriila, and it did well. Mr. Brakeman knows of healthy phiiits ut home (Ohio,) fifty years old, is familiar with its culture, and thinks an acre of ground could lx* made to produce annu ally SI,OOO worth. Mr. Leyvraz has a thrifty plant on his place ten years old which has had no attention other than whqt accident brought it. Tallahassee Tallahnssecan: Two weary, foot-sore and travel-stained pilgrims hailing from the rural districts of Alabama, and bound for tho “El Dorado,” in the Land of Flowers, landed in Tallahassee lust Wednes day and put up at the restaurant of Charles Munch. The eldest looked to be about 80 years of age; he had a dark, keen eye, and wears the air of one of the boy hoys that look out for number one. The other ap peared to be a meek-yod, un sophisticated specimen of a coun try ypungster who had • not long pussod his majority and had launched out on the sea of life with more confidence than experience. After taking in the sights of the Capital City the two walked into the store of Y. A. Levy, carefully selected SIOO worth of notions, jewelry, etc., and ordered them packed up, the older stranger saying that ho would return before night with the money for the goods, hut neither of them came back that day. When Mr. Levy reached his store at *5 o’clock Thursday morning the meek-eyed youngster was there anxiously looking for his partner and in quiring if ho had paid for the good*. On hearing that lie had not, the young man became excited rushed off to the court house for a warrant, and soon had Deputy Sheriff Hopkins on the trail of the absconding nari, ner. The fellow was captured at Monti cello, brought back aud arraigned last Mon- day before Judge West on a charge of ob taining money under false pretense. It as shown to the satisfaction of the court that the two hail agree*! to put up SSO each, anil start into business together. After select ing the goods they walk "d-d. nvn tothoHtcjw in front of Robert’s stable, and there the junior partner turmsi over to the senior SSO as his share of the capital stock. Instead of going back to Levy a store anil paying lor the goods as agreed on, the senior partner skipped out for other fields, and it seems that tlx* unsuspecting junior did not realize* the situation until tlio next morning. Failing to give the required SIOO bond the busiuss man ager of this enterprising firm now nestles behind the bars of the county jail. His confiding partner goes out in search of the “Eldorado,” with empty pockets but a larger store of experience. They gave their names as C. F. Sappington and M. V. Windham, respectively. Only $27, was found on the former when cap tured.
