that cotton went higher than they agreed to

Fletcher has given up everything he owns,
even to his horse and buggy. Mr. Boyd,

his all, and G. C. Burnay'- Marietta hotel is

ble, as will all other unsecured creditors.

reason is here shown for the establishment
of a .milage by a demomination which is so
groat in number. The constitution provides
‘that the school established by this society
shall consist of throe deiwrtments. viz: Bib
lical, scientific and industrial, which shall
I* open to both sexes. ’’ Also “that the

ness community. While he never held him
self above his race, yet ha had not that in
tercourse with them common to negroes of
his standing, and for that reason he never
married. He and his brother together are
variously estimated as being worth iietween

wife in the woods, and struck
her with a gun across the head, inflicting
serious wounds. She took out; a warrant
for her husband for assault and battery, and

ance at court to answer the charge. The
other cases were continued.
A novel case was brought to the attention
of the Governor Wednesday by nuold negro
from Clayim) county. He represented that
bis son. fii*Hutchinson, was convicted in
the Clayton Superior Court of a misde
meanor. and sentenced by Judge Richard
H. Clarke to pay a tine of S2O and costs,
or in default thereof to serve a term of six
months upon the public works, or such other
Slaceasthe Ordinary of the county might
ireot. William defaulted ami went to
jail. Ifis father states that a short
time afterward two men came to the
jail, took William out and sold him
to Capt. Jim English, who ha* un
til recently had him at work on the Atlanta
and Hawkinsville railroad, but proposes
now to shift bini w itb otliersto Band Moun
tain, Alabama. The old man sought the
Governor to find out whether it was lawful
to sell his son Bill, and whether Cunt. Eng
lish now has any light to carry him to
Alabama It M-enis that the Ordinary of
Clayton hired Bill to Capt. English for tlie
six months. The squad with which he has
lieen working wij probably be moved to
the Rome and Carrollton railroad, instead
of to Alabama. The Governor was not able
to give tire old man much satisfaction or re
lief.

Milledgeville Union and Recorder: We
have lived a long time and seen many
strange things, but, we waited till last
Wednesday to see an auction of second
hand coffins. We do not mean to say that
the coffins had ever been used hv the de
parted body of someone once flesh as we
are, but that the departed owner had left
his cofiins in the hands of the constable to
be sold under ft dist ress warrant for rent .
AVe are not going to make light of so grave
a subject as a box made to bury people in,
but the man who could look tit that collec
tion of coffins so uushapen and out of style,
and watched the countenances of
the crowd as the bidding went on.
and kept his own severely sol*er, he was not
built our way, that 's all. There was no one
in the crowd willing to try one on, audit'
there had I con there was nobody just of the
size they would have fitted. A few spern
laiors in futures ran the bid ; up in a spirited
manner, until a $lO bill covered the pile.
The sale attracted quite a crowd of sober
old citizens who no doubt w ished to find out
what t he difference would tie in the price of
coffins when they didn’t, want one and what
would it be if they did. The man who
bought the lot seemed to be in dead earnest.

At Warrington immense quantities of fish
called sheeps-head are caught off the coal
wharf in the navy yard. They average
about a foot in length, four inrhes m
breadth, and an inch andahalf in thickness.
They have white and black stripes running
across their bodies. It is supposed the i op
pored posts have a tendency to draw them
and perhaps the coal also has something to
do with attracting them, ns they are not
near as numerous at the other wharves. It
is very seldom that they are caught in cold
weather. The wharf is lined with boys
from daylight until dark. They sell readi
ly for 2jqjc. apiece, and in tliis way the
boys are always supplied with pocket
money.
A discharged marine from the barracks

Oerting out of a considerable sum of money

due him. This fellow, Wyer, had one, of
course, and all that was due him was $175,
which he received and receipted for. The
marine having run through all his money
in Pensacola, went to Mr. Oerting, whom
he knew, and represented the due bill to be
worth $175, and offered it for half, which,
it is said, Mr. Oerting took. Of course,
the marine did not stay long in Pensacola
after that, but left for the North.

A Mr. Williams who is emigrating from
Henry county, Alabama, to Wakulla,
county, iu Florida, was camping near Chat
tahoochee Tuesday night with his family,
composed of his wife, two daughters and
three little sons. Near 10 o'clock, when all
had retired save Mr. Williams, he was ae
costed by a burly negro who demanded his
money, and who about the same time seized
the campers' gun which had lieen carelessly
left leaning against a bush, and fired upon
Mr. Williams, inflicting several painful
wounds in his leg and hand. The brute
then demanded money of Mrs. Williams,
and upon being informed that she had none,
remarked fat he would take one of the
girls, and, suiting his action to his words
seized one of the girls and male off through
the woods with her. Subsequent inspection
of the grounds show that he traversed a cir
cuit of 100 yards or more and halted at a
point near the camp where he attempted to
outrage her, and where several articles of
her clothing were found. Front her fright
and screams she managed to resist him. In
the meantime Mr. Williams had gathered
his ax and went to her rescue. The villain
fled upon Mr. Williams’ approach, but
warned him that he would kill him during
the night. Being thus warned, and
having recovered his gun, Mr. Will
liatns struck cantp and was repair
ing to the village, w hen he met a party of
friendly colored men who had heard the
firing of the guns and the screams of the
young lady, and were going to offer assist
ance, but the night being quite dark, and
they supposing tnat there might be other
shotguns in the vicinity, declined to answer
Mr. Williams' challenge, and he, apprehend
idg further trouble from his assailant, fired
into the group, inflicting a painful wound
in Jim Wyman s breast and also in George
Smith's nose. Fortunately the charge was
of small shot, or Wyman would have been
killed. Williams would have been killed
had the villain who assaulted him taken
correct aim, as the charge, ho received was
buckshot. *
Paralyzing the Minnesota Greenhorns.

Some funny things hapjiened at the ex

Yesterday a portly woman lumbered her

by a sallow-faced, red-haired female with a
scornful east of countenance. The large
woman looked about her eontempl u

and finally she ejaculated between short
puffs:
“Come on, Sairy. Let's get out o’ here.
They ain’t nothin’in here but fellows with

DR. HALL’S GEORGIA DOMAIN.
A Proposal to Give Away Land That
Isn’t Clearly Located.
From the Jacksonville (P“la.) Timcs-Vnion.
Dr. J. H. Hall was called on by a Tijnes-
Union reporter AVednesday who asked him
regarding his offer of 1(0,000 acres ot land
to the Irish sufferers. The Doctor was not
communicative in that degree that is so
clear to the heart of a quill driver, in fact
he almost refused to say a word.
Dr. Hall has an office on the third floor of
the Robinson block, at-fldhj AA'est Bay. and,
when called upon, he was busily engaged in
writing. In reply io the reporter’s ques
tions he said that he would have nothing to
say. By dint of considerable persuasion,
ho finally said that flic land offered lies in
the central portion of Georgia, but he would
not divulge the namos of the counties in
which it is situated. With these statements
he resumed his writing.
The questioner continued in his efforts to
pump him, but could get nothing from him
except a note which he hurriedly wrote on
the Iwck of a letter head and which read as
follows:
“I have withdrawn the grant, and there is
no object in presenting the matter further.
“J. H. Ha id..”
After showing the report era paper printed
in Cork county, he evidently relented slight
Iv from his first deteniiinat ion to ay noth
ing. He stated that the publication of liis
card was a breach of trust, a- it was in
tended ouly as a piece of private infonua
tion to the editor, and also ns a note of in
quiry as to how it might lx* the better placed
before the public. No official recognition
having been taken by the leaders in the
Irish question, he had withdrawn the offer.
He added that his agent is now in Georgia
surveying the lands in question, and that
when it is completed, he will present 1,000
acres to a committee of three trustees, for
the benefit of the Young Men’s Christian
Association, of Jacksonville. His reasons
for placing the land in the hands of these
trustees was the trouble he would have witli
it. He stated that ho had received any
number of letters, from persons in every
part of the United States, asking why he
did not present the land to the poor of
America, instead of going across the Atlan
tic to find objects of charity.
The doctor has nothing i* the appearance
of a bloated land owner, and he does not
seem much concerned on account *if the
statement of leading land experts in Georgia
that they know of no such body of land in
the State as that which v. as so generously
placed at the disposal of the Irish people,
and which they have not made a rush to ac
cept. The doctor has not yet described the
metes and bounds of the land he proposes to
present to the Young Men s Christian Asso
ciation.
British Convict Prisons.
Hum the London Times.
The directors of convict prisons' huve
issued their report for the year 1886-7, from
which it appears that there has been “a
great and progressive decrease in the num
ber of sentences for serious crimes.” The
yearly average nuinberof persons sentenced
on indictment to penal servitude in England
and Wales was, during the two years ended
1886, 968 as against 1,427 during the five
years ended 1884, and 1,633 during a corre
sponding period ended 1879. As compared
with the quinquennial periods ending in
1859, when the number was 2,589, and in
1864, when the total reached 2,800,
the diminution is still more striking.
In recent years there has been a steady de
cline in our convict prison __ population,
which in July last stood at 7.441. From
1869 to 1878, inclusive, the numbers ranged
between 11,000 and 12,000, and from 1874 to
1883 inclusive, from 10,000 to 11,0)0, Since
the latter date, the decrease has been each
year marked and regular. The number of
soldiers, sailors and marines in convict
prisons under sentence of court martial has
decreased from 350 in ISS4 to 137 on July
16, 1887. Milhnnk prison, which has been
principally used for local prisoners since
October, 1883, but which contained a cer
tain number of convicts up to April ’3B.
1886, has ceased to receive any since
that date. The directors record a very
remarkable decrease in the number
of female convicts, which has fallen
in the last ten year* from 1,4*7 to 706. The
directors record their sense of the obligation
under which the public lie to the managers
of the Westminster Memorial Refuge for
the trouble they have taken during the last
fifteen years, and express their hope that
some means may be round of supplying the
assistance formerly rendered by the man
agers, but now withdrawn in consequence
of the fact that the number eligible lor the
privilege of admission to that institution has
fallen Below what is necessary to enable the
establishment to pay its expenses, although
agi ant is made by government of 10s. a
week for each prisoner, who was also

MEDICAL.
Children.
Parents are very often worried about a
child that shows signs of drooping and loss
of appetite anil no desire to join in the sports
of their playmates. It is hardly serious
enough to require a physician, but it is
plain t hat the child needs something. It is
not prudent to force into the young and un
developed systems strong and nauseous
drugs, hut a medicine that will aid, invig
orate, enliven and thoroughly cleanse the
system by gentle means is what, is desired.
Simmons Liver Regulator is a medicine of
this kind. The child will not rebel against
taking if, because it is not unpleasant to the
taste: it does not compel them to remain
indoors, anil it does not weaken or injure
the system. 11 can safely be administered
to the youngest infant.
“I have used Simmons Liver Regulator in
my family for eight or ten years and found
it the best family medicine 1 ever used for
anything that may happen.”—Ovm G.
Sparks, Ex-Mavoi of Macon, Ga.
