age and as black as the ace of spades. He

Mrs. J. B. Miles, of Lincolnton, was acci
dentally shot by Mr. Miles Tuesday, ft. is
the same oft-repeated story. Mr. Miles
was at, w ork on an old pistol, one chamber
of which was loaded. The wound is in the
left arm, just below the elbow. It was a
“glancing” shot, inflicting only a flesh
wound. Dr. Groves extracted the bullet
and does not apprehend anything serious.
At Marietta, the sensation is the reported
failure of A. A. Fletcher & Cos., the largest
grocery, provision and cotton firm in the
•city. It is a fact that a large mortgage was
filed Tuesday evening in favor of G. C.
Bumap, a lianker, which, if not met by
morning, was to be closed immediately, and
parties in position to know, said that it
would not oe met. Besides doing an im
mense cotton buying business, Mr. Fletcher
is also one of the proprietors of the Keaue
saw House.
Additional particulars have been received
of the explosion at Knoxville. The mill
was located one and a half miles north of
Knoxville, and the boiler had been used for
twenty years. Young 'Forrest Matthews,
an excellent business man, was owner of

killed. The names of the negroes are Henry
Phelps and Hamp Richardson, employes at
the mill. The engineer, whose name’could
not be learned, was also colored, and was
scalded until he cannot live.
At Griffin Tuesday Sheriff Connell closed
up the dry goods anti grocery house of J. C.
King & Son under a mortgage held by the
City national Bank on the slock of J. O.
King. The cause of the failure is said to
be the inability of Mr. King to collect the
large sums due him for goods by his cus
tomers. He did a largo credit business, and
the failure of his customers to meet their
notes and accounts promptly male it im
possible for Mr. King to meet his obliga
tions. The amount of the liabilities and
assets of the bouse is unknown.
In 1883 Gardner Foster obtained a judg
ment in New York against ex-Gov. Bullock
for $5,727 30. In 1885 Foster sued on this
judgment in the Circuit Court of the United
States for the Northern District of Georgia
and recovered a judgment for the full
amount, with SBOO interest. In August
last, during the alsence of Gov. Bullock
from Atlanta, garnishments were served on
the Merchants' Bank, Lowry's Bank and
the Atlanta Cotton Mills. Service on the
last was made on a young man who was in
charge of the cotton mills during Gov. Bul
lock’s absence. The defendant moved to
dismiss the return of service of this sum
mons as insufficient. At Atlanta Tuesday
Judge Newman denied the motion.
Alpharetta Democrat: There is a colored
presiding elder named Jackson, of Atlanta,
preaching to the colored people of this place.
He preached at the white Methodist church
Sunday night, and we went out to hear
him. His sermon was very good, and the
singing by the colored people was splendid,
ana was conducted in a different way from
the usual manner of singing. It was com
posed of two parts, the preacher carrying
one part and the congregation the other.
But the climax was reached when time for
prayer came. The congregation all knelt
except the preacher, who stood up. and all
prayed aloud, men and women. It was a
Babel of voices, and was strikingly peculiar,
and quite different from any form of wor
ship we have ever seen.
Leary Courier: Mr. B. F. Wiuderweedle,
of Milford, some time ago taught two stur
geons in his trap in the Notchaway, which
weighed seventy-six and seventy-eight
pounds respectively, of which we learned
and noticed. Mr Winderweedle recently
received a letter from a man at Hardaway,
which, besides many “cuss’ words, con
tained a plain and emphatic assertion in
the belief that Mr. Winderweedle had got
off one of the bigg**t iish lies of the season.
Mr. Winderweedle informed us that he can
prove by competent witnesses that the fish
weighed more than was stated, and further
more that he will place the letter in the
bands of the post office authorities, who
will no doubt, if they catch the author,
make him wish he had never doubted the
veracity of Winderweedle. The letter was
full of the vilest and most obscene language.
Griffin News: It has been reported in this
city for several days past that Mr. R. P.
Tallman, a prominent merchant of Wood
bury, had failed for SBO,OOO. A gentleman
has called at Columbus Enquirer-Sun offico
with a letter from Mr. Tallman, in which
the report was emphatically denied. Mr.
Tallman says the report was circulated by
Driver & Smith's cotton buyers, and that
he will institute a suit for heavy damages
against them. Mr. Tallman went to New York
about a week ago, and during liU absence
Driver & Smith presented a claim against
him, and demanded a settlement, knowing
that his agents were not authorized to act in
the matter. When they were so informed
the firm, it is claimed, put the report in cir
culation. Mr. Tallman was called home
from New York to see his sick child, and
knew nothing about the report until his re
turn.
Maud Jefferson, of Jesup, is a colored man
of considerable notoriety. He delights in
the pastime of drinking bad whisky and
smoking mean cigars on Saturday after
noons. Some days ago he imbibed a little
too freely and became boisterous, and was
taken in hand by the night policeman.
Maud has a strange practice of making the
wool just above his ear a match-box, and on
I this occasion had a Rood supply of matches
on hand. He resisted the officer and declined
to go to the lockup. The officer stepped to
one side, raised his club and struck .Maud a
; blow just above tpe ear. The matches were
1 ignited, and his wool caught on fire and
I made a considerable blaze, and he fell over
! against the wall of a store. The night
j wutchman thoueht lie had produced death
! and ignited the corpse, ami ran for his life,
and as soon as he collected himself lie
i tendered his resignation as a municipal of
ficer.
Messrs. O'Shaughnessy, Goodyear and
I Kay, ask incorporation with their aasoci
| elates into “The Brunswick Company,"
I with a capital of £5,000,000, whose business
will be the sale and purchase of lands, manu
facturing, loaning money on real estate,
mining, dredging, etc., purchasing of stocks
and I Kinds and the like. It is in short a
financial scheme looking to the building up
of Brunswick. This company will own as
soon as thoroughly organized, the street
railway, the Mi Hank property, which
embraces nearly half the lots of the
city, the controlling interest in the
hotel, etc., etc. The company will own a
large landed interest in the city, which
they will develop on a brdad and compi'e
heusive scale. They will not only improve
this property themselves, but will sell to
others at reasonable prices, that is to bona
tide purchasers who will improve same—
titles not perfected until buildings are up.
John C. Rutherford, of Mm -on, with
Lawyer IValker, will represent Wool
folk if his fees are secured. Col.
Rutherford states lie was absent from the
State when the killing occurred, but that in
a short interview with Woolfolk he was im
pressed with the fact that lie could not have
niado the statement unless he was an inno
cent man. In this statement he accounts
for every suspicious circumstance against
him, and shows very clearly that he himself
would have tieen killed had not his brother
been aroused before lie was. His brother
entered his father's room just before he did.
and as his brother entered he was knocked
down, then Tom ran and jumped out of the
window and gave the alarm. He inot a
negro soon after he jumped and tried to get
him to return with him and render assist
ance, and while talking with the negro
both heard blows and screams in the house.
A short while afterward they heard
voices in the house and saw several parties
leave. The clothes found in the well were
his brother's clothes, and the washerwoman
will so swear. The tracks in the blood wore
barefoot tracks and were made by Tom and
he so stahil that night, and after some of
tiie neighbors had arrived he took a tow] of
water and washed the blood from his feet
and hands in their presence. CoL Ruther
ford states his interview was a short one,
but he was impressed with the fact, from a
long experience as a criminal lawyer, that
he could not have made the statement in
the way and manner that lie did, had he
been guilty. Tom exhibited much indigna
tion and sorrow that the people should be
lieve lie had killed his own father and those
so nearly and dearly related to him.

guments of W. B. Young, who appears in
ts'half of the County Commission' is The
opinion prevails that the amendment to the

election can ever be held" under it. A decis
ion cannot be reached by the court under
ten days.

Pine street, in front of the main building.

STRANGE MEXICAN SUPERSTITION.
A Spectre in Beautiful Guise Whose
Kiss Invariably Proves Fatal.
From the San Francisco Ohronicle.
The Santa Cruz ghost, which is engross
ing the attention of the citizens of that
famous watering place by its midnight
revelries, recalls a legend of San Juan, in
the adjoining county, told the writer many
years ago by a narrator no less credible
than a good old Spanish priest, with whom
the writer happened to be staying on a few
days’ visit.
One morning after breakfast I expressed
a wish to stroll into the ancient graveyard
attached to the old adobe church of that
quaint little Mexican town. Theoid padre,
with the kindness and courtesy characteris
tic of the simple missionary fathers, at once
acceded and accompanied the writer, re
lating as we walked among the graves the
brief history of some who lay quietly be
neath. “Here,” he observed, with a quiet
smile as he pointed to a grave in the middle
of the cemetery, “here is a grave which the
simple old Mexican families around here
look upon with unusual interest, if not with
actual awe.”
“A murder!”
“No, no! Something much stranger, 1
have tried to combat the idea, and while I
would be addressing the people they would
say, ‘Si, si, padre.’ They would assent to
all I said, but the belief remained and does
remain indelible.
“A spirit,” he began, “is said to have ap
peared to every one buried in that grave,
and to warn the family whenever any of
them is about to pass away.
“Its appearance, which is generally made
in the following manner, is believed to
be uniformly fatal, being an oinen of
death to those who are so unhappy as to
meet with it.
“When a funeral takes place the spirit is
said to watch the person who remains last
in the graveyard, over whom it possesses a
fascinating influence.
“If the jierson be a young man the spirit
takes the shape of a fascinating female, in
spires him with a charmed passion, and ex
acts a promise that he will meet her at the
graveyard a month from that day. This
promise Is sealed with a kiss that communi
cates a deadly taint to him who complies.
“The spirit then disappears. No sooner
does the person from whom it received the
promise and the kiss pass the boundary- of
the churchyard than he remembers the'his
tory of tiie spectre. He sinks into despair
and insanity, and dies. If, on the contrary,
the spectre appears to a female, it assumes
the form of a young man of exceeding
elegance and beauty.”
The padre showed me the grave of a
young jierson about 18 years of age, who
was said lour months before to have fallen
a victim to it. “Ten months ago,” the
father said, “a man gave the promise and
the fatal kiss and consequently looked upon
himself as lost. He took a fever and died,
and was buried on the day appointed for
the meeting, which was exactly a month
after the fatal interview,
“Incredible as it may appear, the friends
of these two persons solemnly declared to
me that the particulars of the interview
were repeatedly detailed by the two persons
without the slightest variation.
“There are several cases of the same kind
mentioned, but the two cases alluded to are
the only ones that came within my personal
knowledge.
“It appears, however, that the spectre
does not confine its operations to the grave
yard only. There-have been instances men
tioned of its appearance at weddings and
social parties, where it never failed to secure
its victims by dancing them into pleuritic
fevers. ”
On being questioned as to what he might
think of such possible occurrences, the good
lather simply smiled and shook his head.
