6 GEORGIA AND FLORIDA. NEWS OF THE TWO STATE3 TOLD IN PARAGRAPHS. A Suggestion That the Spot Where Hon. Jefferson Davis Was Captured in Irwin County be Enclosed and Preserved as a Park—A Colonel’s Unsuccessful Attempt to Kiss Miss Davis at Sparta. GEORGIA. Matthew Butts, of Milledgeville, died Tuesday. Postmaster commissioned Oct. 31, fourth class office, Francis M. Ewing, Bolingbroke, Ga. It is estimated that between fifty and sixty people were converted at Homerville camp meeting. The Baptist Church of Sandersville lias called its present pastor, Rev. B. H. Ivey to serve for another year and lie has accepted the call. A change has been made in the post office at Sylvama. R. W. Wells has been ap pointed to the position of postmaster, and the post office will soon be remr ved to his store.* L. P. Wimberly has sold his interest in the mercantile establishment of Wimberly & Horne, at Hawkinsville, to S. F. and C A. Horne, who will continue the business at the same stand. Mr. Wimberly says that he will soon engage in the naval stores busi ness. The* depositors in the late Freedman’s bank held a meeting at Macon Monday night, and decided to place a petition in thb hands of Congressman Blount, to he pre sented by him to the President, asking that a paragraph of Ins message be devoted to their relief. The petition will bo gotten up this week. 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.” FLORIDA. 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, just off the dock at Blackwater, will pro ceed to Mobile shortly. The project of building a light draught vessel to replace her has l’or the present been abandoned. Holland & Brown of Polk county, picked a potato Wednesday weighing six and one half pounds. It is an oddity in shape hav ing ridges and gutters in every direction, all over it. The potato was grown on pine 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. Sown by the Wayside. From the New York Sun. 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. Another Maine man has had an encounter with a bear. The doctor used up four spools of silk and broke thirty-nine needles in sewing him up. and it takes three hours a day to dress his wounds. ~ :—' ~::t Fbil ips’ Digestible Cocoa 1- .HO.-C del 1 •<'>"' In taste and aroma, and. by Ihe process it is prepared, is rendered more nonrisn- i ing add more easily digested than any other ■Wwiwativu of cocoa or chocolate.
