Follows were in prison together at John son’s Island, and the Comptroller is thor oughly delighted with the big majority given his former yoke-fellow inNew York. Fallows was a captain of an Arkansas com pany, and when he got to Johnson's Island was soon the light of the prison. The Comptroller speaks of him at that time as a brilliant man and a gallant soldier. In the debates with which the prisoners were ac customed at limes to relieve the monotony of their con tine ment, Fellows win, the leader and champion.

Fletcher & Cos., of Marietta, cotton buyers and grocers, re ported as faded last, night, n-e variously stated at from £40,000 to *50,000, with as ots of about $25,000. The cause assign, * 1 is that cotton went higher than they agreed to deliver at, and they have lost money right along. The strain of the last few days was too great, and so they went under.

The object of the society i to establish a Baptist high school or college in Augusta, w ithin the limits of Augusta, there are not loss than twelve Baptist churches, having a membership of nothing under 5,000. Ample 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 Board of Trustees shall have the power * * * to establish a model school in connection with this institution."

Marshall McGeliee (colored,) died nt his home in Hawkinsville a day or two ngo, at an advanced age of (11. lie was a brother of A. B. McGehee, a successful merchant, and was by trade a contractor and carpen ter, and had the reputation of being one of the most reliable of his trade in town. The deceased was a worthy and respected citizen, nml had the confidence of the busi 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 $15,00) and $20,000. They held all things in common between them, their wealtli con sisting of a brick store, dwelling, planta tion, railroad stock, bonds, cash, etc. He was a lifetime Democrat, atid a great ad mirer of President Cleveland's administra tion. There was a family row in Ben Smith’s, district of Gwinnett county, last week, which resulted in a criminal trial last Fri day. T. A. Dillard and his wife, who have been married formally years, mid, it is stated, have had eleven children, do not. get along as smoothly at times as they ought to. Dillard claims that there is au undue inti macy between his wife and a young man named West, lie claimed that he was out gunning for West and found his 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 he sued out warrants for her and West for adultery. Friends of the parties tried to get the matter settled amicably before the trial began, but-all efforts proved unavail ing. The court, after hearing ttie evidence, required West to give bond for hie appear 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. Joe Rease. a negro who works with W. B. Regan, a prominent farmer living seven miles from Cedar Springs, on lasi. Thurs day, while all the rent ot the family were absent, attempted to Rape Mrs. Regan. Ho called her to tne field a snort distance to see a horse, which ho claimed was sick, and caught her and threw her down. She drew a knife and cut at him twice, sci-eam ing all the while. He turned her loose, appeared as seeing someone, ami ran off. The community is aroused, and several parlies are in pursuit. The scoundrel will lie lynched if caught. He was tracked to Fairchild’s landing, on the Chattahoochee river. It is supposed he is making his way to Barber county. Alabama where be claims he was reared by Mrs. White. Seventy-five dollars reward is of fered for his capture. He is a black, low, heavy set negro, weighs about 150 pounds, has a scar on the left side of his mouth, run ning in a circle to the middle of his chin, has a little long mole in front of the righ* oar below the temple, aud stutters a little in talking when excited. 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. FLORIDA. Orlando's new gas works will Vie in opera tion before the end of the month.

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 at Warrington cheated Charles McKenzie Oerting out of a considerable sum of money several days ago. It was in this way: With a discharge a marine receives a due bill stating how much money is due him for clothing, how much retained pay, etc., is 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. The following is a synopsis of the annual report of Superintendent of Schools J. T.

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. i'rotn the Minneapolis Journal. Some funny things hapjiened at the ex position. For instance: Yesterday a portly woman lumbered her way into the sculpture gallery accompanied by a sallow-faced, red-haired female with a scornful east of countenance. The large woman looked about her eontempl u ously. As she looked her disgust grew apace 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 out any legs,” and she strode out, followed by “Sairy. Later in the day a raw specimen from Wasioja, Minn., concluded to venture a nickel on a trip on the elevator to the look out. He stepped ou the platform. The conductor gave the rope a Jnost prodigious yank, and the elevator shot up with a can non ball swiftness. The Wasioja man lookid ou iu open mouthed astonishment; in fa t, the conductor had to push him out at the top before he could gather his wits suffi ciently to say anything. At last he managed to say: “Wal, I’ll be durned. Say, but that tel ler's sttonger’n our big bull. By ginger I’d rather plow stump laud all day t han pull that darned tiling to the top o’ this buildin’ the way that feller does.” Phillips' Digestible Cocoa.

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 furnished with a good supply of clothing on coming to the refuge. !he contemplated closing of Wormwood Hrrubs Prison as a com ict establishment, in order that it may be appropriated for local prisoners instead of MHhauk. has made it necessary to pro vide elsewhere for the mu ufneturing in dustries carried on there. Two of the large halls of Chatham convict prison have there fore been converted into workshops, She ap proaching completion of the docks and works Ini* lug made it Unnecessary for some time past to have accommodation in this prison for so large a number of prisoners as in former years. 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.
