The dwelling of Mrs. King, a widow lady
living at Scandrett’s saw mill, was burned
last Wednesday night during the absence
of the family. It is supposed the house, a
small woden frame building, was first
robbed and then set on fire, as Mrs. King
had a small sum of money in the house she
had recently received from the hire of her
son.
Last Thursday Col. William Wells was in
his mills, at Smithville, and in passing
through the cotton rooms, noticed the cot
ton piling under one of the gins. He took a
•stick ami attempted to move the cotton.
The saws of the gin caught the sleeve of his
overcoat, ami in an instant his arm was
badly lacerated to the elbow The band
was thrown off, and Mr. Wells rescued
The fair was indirectly productive of a
broken leg for a gentleman of Baldwin
county, and a consequent suit against the
Central railroad for $'20,000 damages. It
seems that the principal actor in the fatal
ity became confused in the crowded* coach
from Macon, inquired for Milledgeville, was
told that the station had been passed, and
1 hat he must jump off. Ho jumped. Re
sult., the aforementioned broken leg and
suit.
Willis Mitchell, a son of Ike Mitchell, the
colored fl-hermau at Fountain's mill, near
Hawkiusville, met an untimely death on
Wednesday of last week. He was filling
baskets for his mother, who was feeding the
gin, and in his idle moments had grabbled a
round hole in the cotton front the top of the
pile to the floor. While playing around the
hole he jfell into it headforemost and was
smothered to death before discovered. The
boy was about 18 years old.
Ben Carrie, of Kennesaw, had a niort
ne foreclosed on last Friday by Langston
Vooten for about $1,500. Mr. Carrie
gave a mortgage one day after date with
the understanding that he should not lie in
terrupted in business, but Langston &
Wooten closed down on him at once. His
collections have been slow, but he has on
his books $15,000 and only owes about $7,-
000. With a little indulgence he would
have made collections and paid his indebt
edness.
At Macon Wednesday, the term of the
Circuit Court was taken up with the trial
of the case of F. M. Micklejohn vs. the
Georgia Land and Lumber Company. This
is a suit, for SIO,OOO damages for injuries
received by Micklejohn, who is a railroad
engineer, in an accident on a private rail
roal belonging to the Land and Lumber
Company. It is probable that several days
■will be consumed in the trial of this case.
Many fine legal points are involved, and the
case will be strongly contested.
K. Sato, of Japan, has been stopping in
Rome a day or two, on his way to Oxford,
Ga., to attend college. He belongs to an
influential family in his native country,
w ho, becoming converted to Christianity,
sent the young man to America to be edu
cated as a Methodist missionary. He has
been for some time attending the college at
DePaw, Ind., but being nurtured in a
milder clime, it was found that the severe
winters in the West were too much for his
constitution, and he was sent South.
A. Nurnberger, the owner of the old Ham
burg Brewery on Schultz Hill, Augusta,
has leased it to Northern parties, who will
remodel the building and lit it up with new
machinery for the manufacture of pure
beer. Willauer & Koonneker, of Pennsyl
vania, the lessees, have the building and
f round secured for the next thirty months.
Villauer & Koenneker are both in the
city, and have commenced work repairing
the dilapidated building. The machinery
and coppers have lx>en ordered out from the
North, and beer will be turned out from the
brewery within the next three months.
John Dupree, of Sumter county, has had
a challenge out for some time to the parties
tin t have running dogs to catch foxes on
his place. W. P. Jowers, of Webster; John
H. Walker, of Sumter, and several other
parties have tried at various times, and
always returned without the brush after a
long and wearisome race. Saturday night
Maj. M. B. Council, W. L. Clements, James
Bass and John Dupree took a turn after Rey
nard. They struck a trail and the
music of the dogs sent a thrill all through
the oountry around. People got up from
their beds and called it a delightful sere
nade. The old fox doubled and twisted,
climbed trees, swam creeks and jumped to
the side, and ran as never fox ran before,
but he didn’t lose the dogs, and after a
seven hours chase was run down and cap
tured.
A sari and probably fatal accident oc
curred last Friday evening at Bateman’s
mill near Butler in which it is feared that a
14 year old daughter of R. H. Cleaveland
will lose her life. During the rain on Fri
day several children had gone into the mill
house for shelter, and while engaged at play
one of them became entangled in the shaft
ing of the mill. An older sister
seeing the dangerous condition of her
younger sister ran tq her relief. Be
ing uuable to extricate her sister, and
her clotting being very wet, she was also
caught by the whirl of the shaftiug. and
carried round and round in such a manner
as to strike several obstacles that were near
by. Her right thigh was broken and her
bead and shoulders fearfully cut and
bruised. There were four children badly
hurt before the mill could be stopped, but
the second one is the most seriously injured
and there is but little chance of her recov
ery.
The return of Jefferson Davis to Macon
leads the Hawkiusville Dispatch to remark:
“The timber resources of Irwin county are
valuable and immense. The people value
thpir lands very low. Lots of land of 490
acres, covered with a heavy growth of
original yellow pine, may be bought for
$1,500 to $2,000 per lot, and in many locali
ties the prices are less. R. W. Clements,
the clerk of the Superior Court, owns 11,000
acre*, which he has offered for $50,000. One
of the lots is No. 51, containing 490 acres,
within two miles of Irwinville. It was upon
this lot, amoug the pirn*, and near a branch,
that Jefferson Davis had camped for the
night when his tamp was surrounded by
the regiment of Michigan cavalry in pur
suit of him. The regiment divided, and
when the camp was discovered and sur
rounded about davllght, each party took
the other for Confederate cavalry/and a
fight Tvyo or three of the Michi
gall cavalry were killed by their own com
rades. It has been suggested that a part of
this lot. of laud be purchased and enclosed
to commemorate the event that is bound t<>
make it historic as long as the .Southern
Confederacy shall be remembered. David
M. Hogan, living one mile below Irwinville,
says he will furnish young sycamore trees
to beautify the park.”
When the train bearing the daughters of
Hon. Jefferson Davis reached Sparta
Wednesday the scene was one of lively in
terest, and furnished an incident which will,
no doubt, be long remembered by all who
witnessed it. A wedding bad occurred in
the town at 3 o’clock in the eveuing, anil
the fact being generally known that the
daughters of ex-President Davis would pass
through on the afternoon train, the crowd,
which numbered ijOO or more, left the
church after the ceremony and repaired to
the depot. When the train arrived a rush
was made for the rear of the car containing
the ex-President’s daughters and party. Af
ter some delay Miss Winnie appeared upon
the platform and was introduced to the as
sembly by T. M. Hunt, in response to
which came a storm of applause. At
•thus juncture Col. J. T. Jordan stepped
upon the platform and with a neat little
speech presented Mh Davis with a beauti
ful wreath of flowers. The Colonel, how
ever, who is noted for his gallantry, seemed
to feel that he had failed to express the full
warmth of Hancock’s admiration for the
“Daughter of the Confederacy,” and
straightening his tall form to its fullest
height, lie asked if lie might not be [>er
initted to kiss her. There was a merry
twinkle in the eyes of the Colonel, and lie
advanced, as though to perform the coveted
pleasure, hut, to the amusement of every
body present, the young lady threw tier
hands to her face and rushed into the car,
laughingly exclaiming, “No, indeed, Col
onel you cannot play off’ such a trick on
me **
Brunswick ./ournaL Th> exports from
the port of Brunswick from December, 1885,
to December, 188(1, amounted to SBBO,IIOB 14.
From December, 1880, to November, 1887,
they amount to $1,080,471, or nearly double
in the past ten months what they were in
the preceding twelve. The receipts at the
custom house from imports in 1880 were
nominal, amounting during the year toonly
a few hundred dollars. The receipts from
two cargoes brought there last month footed
up $34,000, and the next two months will
probably bring to the port soverul times as
much more For a little further evidence
of advancement, we turn now to our cotton
receipts. The effort to make Brunswick
a cotton port was ridiculed two or three
years ago, but who ridicules it now?
Throe years ago 8,000 bales, two years
ago 16,000, last year 46,000. To-day, with
only two months of the season past, our
cotton receipts amount to 61,446 bales, and
but for the difficulty which hus attended
the obtaining of ships to transport the
staple, this number would have been nearly
doubled. At the beginning of the seaso i
we predicted that Brunswick would ship
100,000 bales of cotton this season, and
nothing but the failure to obtain transporta
tion will prevent tho amount running far
beyond that. We venture now the prophecy
that within five years the port, of Bruns
wick will be handling 500,000 bales per
year. With tho new hotel approaching
completion, and soon to be thrown i>i>en to
guests, with the above showing of what has
and is being done, there is no question but
that Brunswick is moving with rapid strides
toward a great and prosperous future.
At Atlanta Tuesday the grand jury in
dicted George Martiu, editor and proprie
tor of the Avalanche, a weekly paper pub
lished in Atlanta, for bigamy. Wednesday
Mr. Martin walked into the Sheriff’s office,
gave bond and was at work in his office
fifteen minutes afterward. The indict
ment of Mr. Martin revives an old story
that created quite a sensation in Atlanta,
and the charge upon which he was arrested
grew out of the facts connected with the
story referred to. About a year ago
the proprietor of tho Avalanche vis
ited Washington, and while there mar
ried. When the news of the marriage
reached Atlanta it was currently re
ported that he already had a wife in that
city. His friends denied this, while others
stated that Martin knew he had a wife in
Atlanta and would not return. He did re
turn, however, and his first alleged wife did
not come forward and disturb Mr. Martin
and his wife, as was said she would do. The
woman who was thought to be his first wife
was Mrs. Jennie McJJade, and she made
quite a number of threats before Martin
reached Atlanta, none of which she carried
out. It was asserted at the time that
whether or not the McDade woman was
married to Martin, he had passed her off as
his wife. This Martiu anil his friends de
nied. It is not known upon what facts
the grand jury based their indictment.
Mr. Martin, after he had given bond, said:
“This is nothing but persecution on the part
of the grand jury, which is composed of.
fourteen prohibitionists, three or four antis,
and the rest doubtful men on the great issue
before the people. lam a full-blooded anti
prohibitionist, and my paper is run in the
interest of that cause. That is why the dry
men want to down me. But they can’t do
it that way. lam not guilty of tho charge
of which I am indicted, and can show a
clean band when the time comes.”

While digging shell at the Mt. Oris mound
near Sanford Monday, a portion of a bayo
net and the blade of a small hatchet were
found six feet under ground. The pieces
are doubtless relies of the long ago.
The Choctawhatchie packet W. G. Little,

Holland & Brown of Polk county, picked
a potato Wednesday weighing six and one
half pounds. It is an oddity in shape hav

land without fertilizing or care.
The County Commissioners have ordered
another election to be held on Jan. 17, for
the location of the county seat of Lake. It
is reported that Tavares has withdrawn
from the race, which leaves Eustis and
I/eesburg the leading candidates for the
location.
Monday the Orange City- branch of the
Florida Immigration Association secured
its quota of members, and the sis-retarv has
sent the list of names to the State Secre
tary at Jacksonville and asked for admit
tance into the association. This is tho first
branch from Volusia county.
The Circuit Court is now in session at
DeFuniak Springs, and a number of arrests
have been made. Among the most impor
tant are Aired and McSwain, for selling
liquor without license, and\V. B. Saunders,
charged with robbing the county treasury
of $6,000 here last spring. The suit of S. hi
Leonard vs. Walton county was ably argued
ou each side, aud finally decided in favor of
the defendant.
The Aurautia hunters were out in force
Saturday, and out of six bears started in
this hummock one fat fellow was secured.
Rev. Mr. Low, of Ceutreville was the lucky
man to fire the fatal shot. Like Nimrod of
old, he is a mighty hunter before the Lord,
and woe to the luckless bear or deer that
comes within range of iiis weapon. Again
on Monday, Oct. 61, the hears were hunted,
but, although the dogs worked well aud
game was plenty, not one was secured.
Near DeFuniak Springs Thursday even
ing, as C. C. Banfill was returning home, he
was suddenly fired upon by two would-be
assassins who, after firing at least six shots,
took to their heels. He (Mr. Banfill) fortu
nately escaped uninjured. The affair is
supposed to have been tho result of Mr. Ban-
All's active work in behalf of temperance.
Help was immediately summoned and the
parties tracked for some distance. Great
excitement is prevailing over the affair, and
tho public express a desire to have the
gyilt.y parties punished to the full extent of
the law. Suspicion already points to cer
tain individuals.
There was excitement at Palatka Wednes
day night, caused by the rejjort 01 the sui
cide of Clarence A. Hill, cleric in the gro
cery store of Henis Petermann. At 10
o'clock he wrote a note in Cobb's barroom
THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1887.
and gave it to the colored porter with the
request that he carry it to Mr. Petermann
at once. He did so. It read: “By the time
you read this I will be in the bottom of the
St. John's river. Clarence A. Hill.” As
Soon as the note was read, Mr. Petermann
at once proceeded to hunt for the young
man, but without result. A crowd made
search, but nothing was found. There is no
doubt that he carried out liis intention.
Hill was a married man about 40 years of
age. His wife is now in Tennessee. He is a
native of Evansville, Ind., and has resided
in Palatka several years. Nothing unusual
was noticed in his conduct lately. Hu has
said several times, however, that he felt like
drowning himself, but nothing us thought
of it. The cause of the deed is not
known, as he seemed to get along well with
everyone. He was unassuming in his man
ner. He married his wife in Tennessee two
or three years ago.
Tuesday afternoon at Millview, W. K.
Faulk shot Frank Butler, colored, The row
started in a bur room. The load was buokr
sliot, and some of the charge tore Butler’s
left jaw from his faeo. Faulk then left the
saloon and shortly thereafter, was met by
two colored men, who laid hold of him, curs
ing and swearing all sorts of vengeance on
him. Butler, who, it appears was not so
badly hurt as one would imagine, then came
up, and, beginning his abuse again, com
menced prodding at Faulk with his knife,
the other two colored men retaining their
hold on Faulk nil the while. What might
have happened to Faulk, had there
been no interference from another
source, will never be known, but certain it
is that, before their threats could be carried
into execution, Ben Brown, a colored deputy
sheriff, put in an appearance, and, rescuing
Faulk from the clutches of his captors, took
him back to the barroom. In a few minutes
the barroom was surrounded by a mob of
colored men threatening to kill Faulk, and
the doors and windows of the building were
closed and barred. The mob made an at
tomnt to break in, but the Deputy Sheriff,
having reloaded .the gun, gave the outsiders
to understand that the bursting of a door
or window meant death to one or more of
them, and they kept aloof, keeping up a
tirade of abuse, however, all the time, and
vowing to have Faulk’s life. Faulk was
finally lodged in jail.
In Wednesday morning’s News was
given a full account of the discovery in a
swamp in East Gainesville of a box contain
ing the remains of a white infant; also of
the action taken by Sheriff Wiengas and a
coroner s jury. After the jury had inves
tigated as far its possible at that time, they
adjourned until Tuesday morning. Hh"riff
Wieuges, in the meantime, was not idle,
-but went to work to investigate a dew
which had lieen brought to his attention.
He hail not investigated far before he got
sufficient evidence to justify him in arrest
ing u young woman by the name of Nora
Jones and her mother Margaret Jones, also
Sam and Annie Lewis (colored.) The throe
latter were arrested for supposed complicity
in the affair. The two white women were
taken to jail, although both women de
clared that the young woman had never
been a mother. In the morning, when
brought before the jury, the mother of the
young woman admitted that her daughter
had, about a month ago, given birth to an
illegitimate child, that it had lived two days
and died a natural death, that the birth of
tho chilli was known of only by three col
ored people, Dr. J. A. Parker, and Lewis
and his wife, and that they (the mother and
grandmother) concluded to still continue to
practice secrecy by ky keeping quiet about
the child’s death. The above evidence was
corroborated by Annie Lewis, who was in
Jones’ house when the child was very sick
and just previous to its death. Sam Lewis
testified to having acted as undertaker, by
carrying the body at night and burying it
where it was found Monday evening. The
verdict of the jury was that the child
came to it* death from unknown
causes, and that all four of the parties
were guilty of the misdemeanor of conceal
ing the death of a human being. In the
afternoon the parties were taken before
Justice Cone for preliminary hearing. As
the law was plain that none but Nora Jones,
the mother of the child, could be held, the
court dismissed Margaret Jones, Sam and
Annie Lewis, but held Nora Jones to
answer to the grand jury in a bond of $l5O.
The bail was furnished by kind-hearted
citizens. The Jones family consists only of
Nora and her mother. They formerly lived
near Bronson, and have resided here only a
few months.
The cargo of the steamship Panama will
keep Indian river people supplied with kero
sene oil, lard, whisky and Labv carriages
for months to come. “ The coast" is strewn
with boxes, barrels and parcels in all direc
tions. Those men who saw the steamer in
distress from the river Friday, hastened to
the coast and gathered tho cargo together in
heaps for three days. One dozen men have
been perched upon the stuff each lias saved,
waiting for Capt. Thomas S. Eells, the un
derwriters’ agent, to receive the salvage or
to pay him most any time he seas tit.
Among the stuff on the coast are 2.000
barrels of lard, ten barrels of Bourbon
whisky, twenty-five kegs of whisky, 100
baby carriages, several hundred barrels of
potatoes, flour and pickled pork, and sev
eral cases of nickie-plated coffin handles
and ornaments. It is reported that a case
of gold watches, a case of pistols and 100
clocks were washed ashore and made off
with by their finders. There is a regular
scramble for the cargo, which was insured
for $150,000. Capt. Eells will sell the cargo
on the beach Friday at public auction, but
in the meantime Brevard county has gone
‘•wet” again and whisky is suffering terri
bly, Several vessels have reaches Titusville
with (foods saved. Men carry or roll the
stuff from the coast to Indian river, load it
in boats and make off. Capt. Eells seized
all that came to consisting of barrels of
whisky, lard, calico and dress goods. Fri
day’s sale his been advertised and a big
crowd is expected. Capt. John Ouincy,
who reached Titusville Wednesday, says
the Captain of the Panama told him that
the vessel had only twenty-five passengers,
nearly all circus people, who hud two ele
phants and two horses. He says the men at
the wheel and tbs lookout were snoozing,
and ran the vessel’s nose 3 feet out of water
on the beach. The Panama’s Cap
tain had to throw out all her cargo to get
off. He sent two officers to Titusville
who purchased SIOO worth of provisions.
When off, the Panama steamed out into
deep water, gathered a few barrels of lard
and oil and met the steamer Denny with
two officers at the inlet. She was ashore
from Thursday night until Sunday morn
ing. All goods are marked “Vera Cruz,”
and it is believed the steamer is bound for
that port. The vessel is insured for SIOO,-
000, and the cargo for $150,000. The latter
is almost a complete lass. The Panama is
owned by Hew York parties andisa tramp.

The wife of lien. Crook, the Indian fight
er, is regarded as a public benefactor by the
people of Arizona. It came about in this
way: She was travelling acrass the terri
tory by rail several years ago. Her lunches
had been provided by a city caterer, and
the most striking feature of them was the
abundance of watercresses. There were al
together too many cresses to suit Mrs.
Crook’s taste, and accordingly she threw
them out of the window. Hut she did not
dispose of them haphazard. The country is
crossed by innumerable brooks, and it was
only in passing them that Mrs. Crook threw
out the superfluous cresses. They took root
on the spots where they fell and multiplied
with marvelous rapidity. The re-ult is
that to-day this delicate appetizer is to be
found iu almost all part*or the territory,
where before Mrs. Crook’s chanoe sowing‘it
was entirely unknown.
