6 GEORGIA AND FLORIDA. NEWS OF THE TWO STATES TOLD IN PARAGRAPHS. A Invalid Lady Has a Narrow Escape from Being Burned to Death at Haw kinsville The Creditors of the Broken Marietta Firm Express Full Confidence in Them. GIiORUIA. Near Adairsville a woman named Roe, in an adjoining county, lost her husband Thursday and was married the following Tuesday. In respon e to a petition from the mor chantSj the City Council of Augusta passed an ordinance Wednesday night making the city bridge between Augusta and Hamburg free after Jan. 1. At Rome the new hotel, to be known as the Armstrong, is building up rapidly. The walls as high as the first story are about completed. When finished it will be one of the most elegant hostelries in the South in its appointments. It will contain 100 rooms. At Brunswick Wednesday the Coroner's jury declared John 8. Burns (colored), who killed James M. Carter (colored) by shoot ing him Tuesday, guilty of murder. The funeral of Carter took place Tuesday after noon from the First African Baptist church. The building was packed to overflowing. In the procession following the hearse were forty-two vehicles tilled with colored people and seven with whites. Master George Dillon, of Thomson, the young son of Capt. W. C. Dillon, narrowly escaped a dangerous wound on Friduy af ternoon last. He was in the garden of the Knox Hotel shooting at sparrows with a parlor rifle, and while leaning on the gun, by some means it was discharged. The tiali entered his left arm below the armpit, and ranged down toward the elbow, but the wound is not considered ilangerous. A recent occurrence at Brooks' railroad camp has created some excitement at Zebu ion. The facts, as learned, are as follows: One Will Baker (colored) stole a pair of boots from a fellow colored laborer. On Thursday morning four of his colored co laborers gave him the choice of a whipping or going to jail. 110 chose the former, whereuism they gave him a severe Hog ging. That night he died. The Sheriff and Coroner were summoned on Friday, and at the inquest the latter determined that Baker tiled from fever. Americas Republican: Monday of last week a young white man named Tom Ellis, living near Dra&esville, came to tlie city bringing a bale of cotton und two barrels of syrup. He sold them and left for home, but he got there missing. It is not known whether lie has gone “snipe hunting," or whether he was put out of tiie way for the small sum of money lie carried, as he was returning home or not. We hear though, that he has "gone glimmering like a school boy’s dream," while some who hold his “I. O. U.,” are patiently awaiting his return. At Atlanta interest in the celebrated Dixon will case was slightly revived in the Supseme Court, Wednesday, in the align ment of a case relating to the taxation of certain real estate in 'Washington county. Dixon owned a body of land containing about 18,000 acres, all of which, except 5,060 acres, was in Huncock comity. The 5,000 acres wore across the line in Washington county, which claimed the right to tax it. This was resisted by Hancock, and it is a contest between the two counties. The court below decided iu favor of Hancock county. Mrs. Drew W. Taylor, the aged mother of Dr. 8. W. and Messrs. 11. S. and J. R. Tay lor, of Hawkinsville, came near being the victim of a fatal accident a few nights ago. Mrs. Taylor has been confined to her bed several months from the effects of a para lytic stroke, and while attempting to use a kerosene lamp, near midnight, her clothing became ignited, and but for the prompt as sistance of her grand-daughter. Miss Stella Taylor, who was occupying an adjoining room, a fatal and prolmbly destructive con flagration might have ensued. Miss Stella s hands were badly burned, while her grand mother escaped injury. Albany News and Advertiser: Hay is be ing hauled into the city from every quarter of the surrounding country, and finds easy sale. There is but little of it, however, that is properly cut and cured. The grass should lie cut in a green state and cured. If left to dry on the ground before being cut it loses much of its nutritious quality, and is really worth but little. Many of our farmers last season engaged iu the cutting and curing of hay in the most approved manner, and have saved quantities of the best hay ever seen in this section. Many others will make provision for curing it properly next season, and in a short time the liay crop of this sec tion will be worth more than the fodder crop. Abbeville Times: Rev. Alexander Baker (colored), steward of the Alice Clark, is 76 years old, is a native of North Carolina. His father and mother are living; the former is 96, the latter Ski years old. His father has held the position of janitor of the Wilming ton and Cape Fear bank for sixty-six years, and is worth S2O,IKKI. He is the father of twenty-one children, all living except one. Three ministers in his family—one Metho dist, one Baptist and one Presbyterian. All the children were born in August except two. He and his wife were born in August also. Alec says lie has traveled over 45,000 miles, taking m England, Germany, Franco and Scotland, and two years in Africa as a missionary. At Augusta, at a special meeting of Coun cil, called for the purpose Wednesday night, the question was discussed whether or' not the present electric light wires used are or are not dangerous to rierso•> and property. Two electric experts of the Western Union Telegraph Company were employed to make a test, and they decided that the wires were dangerous on account of not being properly insulated. Tho electric light com pany’s representatives argued they were not dangerous, and stated that the same wares were used all over the Uuited States, and the Augusta municipal authorities were the first to find fault. After nearly three hours of discussion the matter was referred to a committee of five Councilmeu to investi gate and report back. The late Legislature passed an act of questionable legality and constitutionality, which does not seem to have attracted any public attention or comment. The act pro poses a modification of the laws against lotteries, so as to authorize and empower William W. Boyd and a number of excel lent gentlemen, whose names are cited in the act, to organize a lottery scheme for the purpose of raising funds with which to build and maintain a home for indigent widows and orphans of Confeder ate soldiers, to be called “The Masonic Home.” The object will be conceded to be a very worthy one, but the constitution of 1877 expressly prohibits lotteries of ail kinds. The Mr. Boyd mentioned in the act, was one of the leading spirits in the old “Georgia Lottery.” At Dawson a negro boy named Alford, who was arrest-d last week and put in jail for breaking into the residence of Dallas Beckwith, has made his escape. Alford is only about 15 years old, and has had rather a checkered career for a boy of his age. After staying in jail one night he was brought up for commitment trial, and the .ludge not beimr on hand when the officer look him to .lie court house he was locked up in one of the rooms up-stairs for safe keeping. When the Judge was found and every thing was ready to try the ease iui officer went to the room to bring the pris oner before his honor. He was not there. He had decided to settle his own case and bad jumped out of a window to the ground, a distance of about twenty feet. There are now in Athens something like 20,00() bales of cotton in stock. It has been pouring in steadily all the season, and the receipts and shipment* thus far have been fully 25 per cent, heavier than they were up to this time last year. The announcement that the crop, which was at first estimated at f,(XX), OOO bal, 8, would not exceed 0,200,- 000. bat. brought a uddeu rise which cotton men say rarely comes in November. Cotton has lieen rushed to mar ket from the field, the gin bouse, the plan tation and tho store. Warehouses have lieen showered with advices to sell, buyers and shippers have taken lieavilv, and until this enormous lot of ootton can Vie moved, of course there will he a glut for a few days. Inquiry of the buyers and compresses show that c itton is being prepared, branded and shipped very rapidly. Large forces are at work, both presses have loaded sixty or seventy carloads a week, and the crop is going forward with a rush. This cotton, they say, cannot be moved in a day. Marietta Journal: There are no new de velopments in the failure of A. A. Fletcher & Go., save that the National Bank of At lanta has filed a creditor's bill asking that a receiver be appointed. As all the property has lieeu mortgaged to preferred creditors, it will be a difficult matter io determine tho result. Messrs. Fletcher & Cos. have received n telegram from Messrs. Reid & Cos., of New York, of whom tlu-y had bought guano, in quiring into tho failure, and upon being no tified that their claim was n total loss, they telegraphed back sympathy, recalled the discounted notes, and offered to help them if desired. A firm, whom Fletcher & Cos. were under contract to deliver cotton at a certain price, on being notified that they were unable to fill the contract, telegraphed to know if Messrs. Fletcher & Cos. would not as agents buy cotton for them, as they were under contract to deliver several hun dred bales, that they were dependent upon Messrs Fletcher & Cos. to ship them. FLORIDA. Tho last consignment of machinery for the new canning factory at Apalachicola arrived a few days since and has been placed in position. The factory will Vie running in a few days. The A palacliicola T imes says there is money in a steamer line from Anulachicola to St. Marks. Any one who will take the trouble to investigate will easily be convinced of its practicability. The Thomasvillo, Tallahassee and Gulf Railroad Company has purchased a Brush arc and incandescent electric light plant for use in their extensive saw mills, yards and wharfs and the streets of Carabelle. A colored man came very near losing his life at Sanford on Tuesday while standing on the crossing of the South Florida rail road on First street. Ho was knocked down by a shifting engine, but luckily the loco motive was stopped with the rear wheels of tho tender almost resting on tho man’s legs. United States Deputy Marehal Griffin went to Bluff Springs Wednesday to arrest V 1). Williams, the ex-l J < is till aster of that place, on a warrant charging Williams with having suppressed and secreted mail matter. Williams is the man who succeeded iu keep ing himself in while lie kept the rightful in cumbent out of ollice for nearly three years. At DeFuniak Springs there were nearly 1,000 competing entries when the West Florida Fair books were closed Tuesday night. Many Northern and Western people are in the town and the display of products is a source of surprise to these visitors. There are samples of corn and sorghum cane equal to any produced in the Northwest. The display of fruit is exceptionally fine. The same may tie said of the ladies’ handiwork. Bonifay, Holmes county, makes the best showing of farm products. Thorough-bred sheep and cattle, Angora goats, Poland China hogs and fancy fowls compose the stock show. Santos is a little village seven miles south of Oeala, on the Florida Railway and Navi gation Company’s line. It has a good saw and grist mill, two stores and two schools. When the war closed two families—Cole, of Mississippi, and Mathews, of Alabama— seceded to Brazil, Houth America, to re construct their fortunes. This they did in the course of a seventeen years’ residence. But these reconstructed fortunes could not satisfy the loss of their native homes, and hence live years ago they returned and settled on a superior elevated tract of ham mock one and a half miles west of the village which they named Santos, after the one left in Brazil. As the late Consul has returned from Brazil, Dr. G. Mathews is applying for the place. lie is courteous in his manners, is of sterling integrity, familiar with the language and customs of that province. From the doctor and sons. Judge W. I'erkins, of Be lie view, purchased two years ago their finest farm, out of the three. Three miles further liack there are nice farms and settlers with flourishing orange groves, and which will be reached in time by a branch track of the Florida Railway and Navigation Company’s road. A Realistic Adventure. From St. Nicholas. As the dusk was setting in on a beautiful autumnal day about thirty-seven years ago, a man and a boy were driving a row along a country road in Ohio. They had come a long distance and were weary; but though the boy limped, tha conversation did cot flag as they trudged along. They were evidently not farmers; both had the appearance of living a city life hut had they been observed, the things they were saying, and not their looks, would have attracted attention; for they were talking of Cervantes and Shakespeare. The cow needed much urging, and it was late at night when they reached some white limbed sycamores beside the tail-race of a grist-mill on the Little Miami river, on the oilier side of which was the small log cabin in which they lived. A question then arose as to how they should get the cow across. They did not know the depth of the water, but they knew it to be cold and they did not care to swim it. The elder wanted the boy to run up under the sycamores to the saw mill, cross the head-race there and come come back to receive the cow on the other side of the tail-race. But with all his lite rature the boy was young enough to be su perstitious and afraid of the dark: and, though the elder urged him to go, ho would not force him. They could see the lights in the cabin twinkling cheerfully and they shouted to those within, but no one heard them. They called and called in vain, and were answered only by the cold rush of the tail-race, the rustle of sycamore leaves and the homesick lowing of the cow. They then determimxl to drive her across from the shore and then to run up to the saw-mill and down the other bank, so as to catch her us she reached it. When they came there she was not to bo found, however; she hail instantly turned again and during the night she made her way back to the town from which they had brought her. The log cabin was a small one, with a cornfield of 80 acres behind it, and it was nearly a quarter of a century old. The boy who entered it after this adventure was Wil liam Dean Howells, and the man was his lather, who had recently brought his family to Dayton to take charge of the saw-mill and grist-mill on tin river. The incident illustrates the simplicity of the oarly life of one who has .since become the foremost American novelist. Red-Headed Collectors. From tlic Atlanta Ida.) Journal. A few days ago Mr. Andy Stewart put an advertisement in the Jour,ml which road as follows: “Wanted—A red-headed boy. Apply at A. P. Stewart & Co.’s.” The Journal press had hardly been run ning ten minutes when a boy with hair as red as a glowing coal entered the store, walked up to Mr. Stewart, removed his hat, leaned over to give a gixxl view of his fiery top-knot, and asked solemnly: “Will 1 dot” Mr. Stewart looked with mingled surprise and admiration upon the crimson locks and said in a fatherly sort of way: “My sou, I think you’ll till the bill.” When I heard of the incident I asked Mr. Stewart what he wanted with a red-headed boy. He replied: “They make the best collectors in the world. They are not exactly saucy, but they always get there.” Phil lps' Digestible Cocoa Is more delicious in taste and aroma, and, by the process it is prepared, is rendered more nourish ing and more easily digested Ilian any other preparation of cocoa or chocolate. THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1887. A WOMAN’S CHILD. ] To a Mother from Shame it Is j Turned Over to the World's Charity. From the Atlanta (Ga.) Journal. To-day about noon a lady called on Chief I Connolly at police headquarters. She was accompanied by a negro woman, who bore in her arms a beautiful little baby—a girl, about 3 months old. The lady gave tier naino as Mi's. L. A. Copes, and slated that she wanted to speak to the Chief on important and private busi ness. She was conducted to the Chief’s private office, and there she made known the object of the visit. “That child,” she said, pointing to the in fant in the nurse’s arms, “was brought to me three months ago. About, that time a well-known and respectable gentleman (giv ing a name) sent for my husband, who was working with Mr. F. H. Snook. Mr. Copes called at the gentleman’s office and was asked if he wanted to adopt a little baby girl. This same gentleman had given us a baby about two years ago, and failed to pay its hoard and it died, and we had to pay the funeral expenses, so Mr. Copes was not anxious to take tho child. I was sent for, and upon the gentleman promising to give me SIOO I promised to take the baby. A few days later a carriage drove up to the door. I live near the Bel I wood church, and a gentleman and a lady got out and came into the house. The lady was elegantly dressed and in her urms she held the baby. I took the child and I reckon my face showed I wanted the $10(1, for tho lady took out her pocketbook, looked at the gentleman and he looked out the window. “I’ll pay you some other day,” she said, and she arose and left tho house accompanied by her escort. That’s tlie last time I saw her, and I don’t know who she is. I waited for tho money and finally culled at the gentleman’s office. I called again and met with nothing but promises until last Friday when I was paid $lO. I called again yes! erday and was re ferred to the gentleman’s partner, who treated me so rudely that I was forced to leave. Now, I want to know what lam to do with the baby. I don’t know who its parents are and lam not able to support it. When the lady bad finished her narrative Chief Connolly left his office, und, after ad vising with the Mayor, decided to call on the gentleman referred to by his visitor, who had given his name. Ho failed to see him, however, as ho was out of his office, but will consult with him this afternoon. Chief Connolly will thoroughly investi gate the matter, and, if possible, find out who is responsible for the maintenance of the child. Tho Journal is in possession of the fol lowing information; That the gentleman named by the lady is not the father of Ihe child. His connection with the case is only this: He thought to shield an unfortunate girl from disgrace. Under the circum stances the gentleman’s namo will he with held until he can make such explanation as will set him right. DEATH OF A WILD MAN. When Taken from the Woods and Placed in a House He Dies. Beaumont, Tex., Nov. 12.—For over twenty years a wild man by the name of Richardson, with his family, consisting of his wife, with an occasional child added, have inhabited the woodland thickets of Jasper and Harden counties, hiding hither and thither as occasion might require, sub sisting on the native products of the forest, such as acorns, roots, etc. , and when oppor tunity offered the decaying flesh of dead wild animals. In their wooded retreat, hedged iu by an almost impenetrable thicket, this strange family lived untrainmeled by the rules of civilized society. This life they Jed until about throe months ago, when, un wittingly wandering within three miles of Beaumont, the family apparently almost overcome with sickness and hunger, and unable to wander farther, were captured by passers-by and brought here. The church appointed a committee, who rented a house for them and undertook to furnish them with all the substantial of life, but the gray beads shook at the action of the committee. That man will die, they said, if you put him in a house where bo is pro tected from tho elements; treatment of this kind will kill them all; all they need is plen ty of rain and sunshine, cold and heat, a bellow, log or grassy meadow to sleep in. But the fated hand of civilization was kindly placed on them. In a comfortable house the tender hands of the first ladies of the land nursed them; preachers prayed for them; they were furnished medicine by the skilled hand of an allopathic physician, fed on the best the market af forded, but, notwithstanding all the kind treatment, the prediction of the gray heads became true, and the wild spirit of the man, the child of nature and an inhabitant of nature’s wild forests, winged its way to the happy hunting grounds of eternal rest. The survivors will now witness the strange sight of seeing the father and husband laid to his eternal rest in the bosom of mother earth, in a coffin made by skilled workmen of some great, city and paid for out of the coffers of Jefferson county, while they look on and wonder like some creature at the strange proceedings. The survivors of this strange family will now, no doubt, betake themselves to their former retreat, as the toil and worry, and work especially, is ex ceedingly distasteful to them. Novel Industry. From the Lon Angeles Tribune. While strolling through the South Main Street Market one afternoon a Tribune reporter was accosted by the keeper of a stand with the remark: “book here! Beauties, ain’t they ?’ Holding up to view a raisin box, he rapped on the wire screen covering the top. and immediately was heard the well known whirring noise made by the California rattlesnakes. Coiled up in the box was a mass of snakes from ii to ti feet long, nearly filling tho box, wriggling and g iding into apparently inextricable knots and constantly m motion. This was explained to the reporter as anew industry which some boys have started living in the Santa Monica mountains. The “rattlers” are caught by means of a slip-noose of cord and dumped into a tin box, and when the sport fails the tin box is covered and brought into town. The mar ket man said that there is a fair commercial demand for “rattlers” from the Chinese, who use them as medicine, and they readily command from 50c. to $1 each. The Chi nese are said to handle them with impunity, and a purchaser yesterday thrust his hand into the box and drew a large rattlesnake out, which he grasped by the back of the head with one hand and pulled o|ien the snake’s mouth with the other hand and ex amined his teeth with all the shrewdness of a horse jockey in a horse race. The market in snakes will not probably be overstocked if the “beauties” are all as dangerous look ing, and particularly if the trade has to be encouraged by the newspaper man turning snake hunter. Journalism in tho Metropolis. From the ,%>ir York Eve.i ■ , Pont. We advise fathers of families to look care fully after their household reading during the next ten days, because, unless we are agreeably mistaken, the scandal and crime tanks of our morning contemporaries must by this time lie full. During the past fort night they have Ix en giving their attention almost exclusively to politics, and, of course, in that period the real “news” must have accumulated immensely. Many a plumber’s wife must in that interval have elope 1 with his “helper,” man} a butcher boy run off with the “15 year-old daughter” of an oyster-opener, many a bartender at tempted suicide in a brothel, and many a liackmun tried to kill his paramour with a cart-ring. In fact, the variety of the tilth and silliness which can be turned on is doubtless very great, and when “Ananias” and “Judos, 1 ’ and “Flopover.” and the “Bilk” get through with the election, they will make things lively in quiet homes with their little pictures of life and mauuers. PERSIAN SEERS. Astrologers and Their Influence in the Domains of the Shah. From the Popular Science Monthly. The monajem, or astrologer, is a power in Persia. Ho is recognized as a man of science, a member of a learned profession. The chief astrologer is a high court officer, from whose ruling there is no appeal, for hisdecisions'are based upon knowledge that is communicated directly from the stars. Thus, if he decrees that the asylum of tho universe must not start on a hunting expe dition on Thursday, but that half an hour after midnight on Saturday will bo the fortunate hour, he is able to give irrefraga ble reasons for his conclusions by showing that Saturn is in the ascendant in one case, while on Saturday night, at the precise time mentioned, there will he a happy conjunc tion of Venus. If another astrologer is consul toil he will give the same story. Every hour in the day, and every day in the year, is thus worked out as fortunate, indifferent or unlucky in the astrologer's book of fate. , Besides these calendars they have as their stock in trade a plumb-line, a level, a celes tial sphere, and an astrolabe. The astro labes are iu the form of a gigantic watch, and are often beautifully made. Every large town contains at least two astrologers, and they are very far from being poor. A Persian may find an astrologer very useful, especially if ho be an officer and desires to avoid some responsibility. Thus, suppose a provincial Governor is ordered to the cap ital, and that he does not want to go, what more powerful reason for delay in starting than to reply that he is waiting for a fortu nate hour, and what easier than to induce the astrologer to fail to find one? In ti e meantime the officer has time to administer tlie necessary bribes at court, and tho storm blows over. Istikhara, tossing up or the drawing of the lot, is done with a rosary. A bead is grasped at haphazard, “good.” “bad,” “in different,” is ejaculated at each head till the big terminal one is reached, and that decides tlie question. Answers are given in conver sation, Bargains are made or refused and se rious acts are undertaken under the guidance of the formula. Another way is to thrust a knife into the leaves of the Koran or one of the poetical books and be guided by what is found at the place. The diviners are real quacks, and gain their success by working on'the fears of the people. The guilty party in a scandal or criminal inquiry in his ner vousness is provoked to do some act that brings abopt bis detection. MEDICAL. WORKING PEOPLE Are often in that most wretched state of being, really too sick to work, but so sit uated that they cannot afford to lose the time it requires to take medicine and get well. IjMs of time means loss ot money. Medicine is needed to invigorate, regu late and tone the system. Hut many medicines make half sick people w holly sick,* and time and money are lost iu getting well after taking them. The Liver is the cause of nearly all bodily ailments, such as Dyspepsia, Constipation, Headache, Sour Stomach, Biliousness, Colic, Low Spirits, Kidney Affections. And a medicine like Simmons Liver Reg ulator, that w ill removeandcurethe.se disorders without causing of loss of time, and strengthen and build up the worn out body even while the pers< >n is at wo: k is certainly a boon to working people.
