ized a company, termed the Middle Georgia
Land Improvement Company, for the pur
pose of building up a resort where the little
town of Gracewood, on the narrow-gauge
road, now stands. The place is IKK) feet

castle street, Brunswick, on which are
located the stores of J. B. Wright, D. T.
Dunn, G. H. Merrifield, Mrs. Smith and
others, was sold for #5OO, and that was con
sidered a big price for it. To-day it would
probably take $5,000 to buy any of the six
sections of it, with the building torn away.
That is probably the most valuable piece of
ground in the city.

While the Georgia Midland was switching
some cars on to the Central track at Griffin
Tuesday one of the cars ran off the track
and ran some 12 or 15 feet on the cross-ties.
A number of hands w ere a t work on the
Central road. and. seeing the ear off the
track, they signaled the engineer to stop,
but before he coulu stop the trail: the car,
which had been as far as *5 or 8 inches from
the rail, jumped back ami went ou as if it
had never been off’, thus doing by itself the
w-ork that often takes hours to accomplish.
At Bruns Hot Saturday Marshal J. B.
Dart, in company wfth other hunters, went
to_ the depot to take the Brunswick and
Western train for a trip up the road a short
distance to take a hunt, each having his gun
along. He took with him his two old hounds
and a young puppy, the latter being tied
with a string. As soon as the train pulled
up and before the Marshal made any move
toward it, the two old dogs walked deliber
ately across the street t < the train, walked
in and lay down perfectly content, stemiug
to comprehend the situation thoroughly.

These gentlem.l sawel off twenty-two
blocks of the tree, from which tbev rived,

monarch of the forest left, if sawed iuto
plank, to build a small house.
At Baxley Sheriff Branch discovered last
Saturday evening on entering the jail that
the iron door shutter to the front door had
been tampered with. He secured some help
and went in to see what was up. He found
that the prisoners (five in number) had torn
up a cross-bar over one of the trap doors,'
and had been prizing at the front door
hinges, and had got it so that ho could not
lock it. They had also gono into one of the
lower cells and had torn up the flooring,
but found that there were heavy timbers
under the floor which they could not get
through. Had Mr. Branch not discovered
the work they were doing, in all probability
thy would have male good their e-cape
during the night.
More than tn months ago a man living
near Franklin fled to Texas. Two citizens
became engaged in a friendly lawsuit over
some property he left behind. One attached
it and the other filed a claim. The case re
mained in the Justice’s Court until Wednes
day, the property having been sold by con
sent some time ago. Wednesday the parties
announced ready for a final trial. A con
lerence between the attorneys showed that
after paying the costs, leaving out
a heavy bill of witness fees, there was just
$H>5. left. They called the witnesses aside
and proposed to give them all the money
involved in the suit if they would accept ft
in satisfaction of fees, to which they agree!.
When the announcement, was made tho court
smiled, the parties put their heads together
for a confidential talk, the attorneys looked
hke orphans a great distance from home,
the witnesses pocketed 90c. and there was a
great calm.
It is said that an old Confederate soldier
Irving in Fulaski county wrote to Gen.
Beauregard and enclosed a dollar for a tick
et in the Louisiana State lottery, and the wri
ter took occasion to say to Gon. Beauregard
that he had followed t.ue General four years
in the army and that he was poor, and
wanted the General to select for him a
ticket that would draw a prize in
the lottery. According to tiio adver
tisement Gen. Boa u reguard and Gen.
Early superintended the drawing
of the Louisiana lottery every mouth, ami
the soldier thought that Gen. Beauregard
could select the right ticket for a prize.
Gen. Beauregard, it is said, answered the
old soldier's letter, ami enclosed the ticket
as requested for the dollar, but gave the
following bit of advice: "Jiv Dear Old
Comrade: If you will stick to the Louisi
ana Lottery you will be as poor as you were
at the close of the four yoare of cruel war,
und you will not have enough left to load a
pop gun.”
At Montezuma early Thursday morning,
liefore the opening of school, the Instituto on
the hili in tho grove on Kailroad street was
discovered to Im on fire, but owning to the
location it could not lie reached by the fire
department, and io less than one hour the
building, which cost over $.'1,000, with the
greater part of the desks and furniture, was
destroyed. With gr at exertion the, hand
some piano, a few of the patent desks and
Jiooks in a damaged condition were saved.
There was insurance on the building for
about $1,500, and a debt of $OOO. There
was a loss of over $250 on the desks and ocher
appurtenances. Just how the fire originated
it is impossible to say. Some think it the
work or incendiaries, while othere incline to
the theory that some of the pupils,who were
at the Institute early, made a fire in the
stove and tho building caught from it. A
negro was sentenced only a few days ago to
t waive months on the chain-gang for depre
dations committed upon the property of the
Institute, while a similar depredation was
committed about a year ago, but no positive
claw has ever been bad to the perpetrators.
Before the fire had been out two hours thr
trustees and citizens had assembled aud re
solved to rebuild the Institute immediately.
Atlanta Constitution: There has been
some talk iu the newspapers about Gov.
Gordon signing an act giving to W. W. Boyd
and others certain lot-torjr*privileges, and in
regard to the unconstitutionality or the act.
An investigation yesterday disclosed the fol
lowing facts: The Legislature did pass an
act entitled an act to amend an act to repeal
an act establishing a lottery, etc., and in
that act there is something said about lot
tery privileges granted to Boyd and others.
The object of the act was not, however, to
; give any one the right to operate a lottery
even for charitable purposes, but was
passed at the instance, it is thought, of
Attorney General Anderson for the purpose
of freeing the old Georgia lottery property,
on the corner of Forsyth and AValton
streets, from some legal trouble. The
property now occupied by the Young Men’s
Christian Association is in litigation, and
the act was passed for the purpose of freeing
it from its trouble The paragraphs that
have been published in regard to the matter
have carried with them the inference that
tlie Governor approved a measure clearly
and plainly unconstitutional. The wording
of tho title of the act was deceptive, but n
careful reading will disabuse any mind of
the impression that it establishes iu any
form a lottery.
At Ellijay Milt Jarvis fell from the top to
the bottom of a well 05 feet deep on last,
Tuesday evening and was instantly killed.
Jarvis got in the bucket with one foot and
bolding to the rope, aud Jasper Grant and
Sam Dodson proceeded to slowly low er him.
After tlie windlass had unwound about 10
feet. Jarvis said “good-by” to Mr. Cobb's
little 12 year-old son AVillie, who answered
back good-by. At this Instant tiie rope
broke and hurled the body of Jarvis down the
narrow defile of the well to its rock bottom.
The well i.s very narrow and was blasted
about 30 feet from the bottom, which left
the sides of the well studded with the sharp
points of the rock projecting from all
around. His companions called out to him
from above, but no response came from the
horrible death pit below save a splashing
noise of the struggling man in the throes of
death. AVilliam Baity was the first man
gritty enough to consent to go down the
well, .'silently and slowly he was lowered,
and witnessed alone the frightful scene that
met his gaze in tho weird eonlffies of the
darkened pit. Tlie bottom of tho well is
slantiug, and contained about teu inches of
water ou the lower side, while
the rough surface of the bottom
was covered over in mud. Jarvis was
standing on his head iu the water, dead, and
his limbs crushed about him. A rope was
tied around his body and it was drawn out
of the well. His neck was thought to bo
broken, and two very ugly gashes were cut
oil his head, one over his right eye and the
other across the top of his head. His right
knee cap was crushed aud light heel cut
nearly off. Several bruised places were over
bis body winch turned black nearly all over.
From bis position w hen discovered he must
huve fallen head downward.

at Monticello Monday, and with very little
trouble a jury was empanueled. Brown
was charged with the brutal murder of his
wife, on the Croom place in the lower part
of the county, and ufter the commission of
the act he fled and took up quarters in
Madison county. The Governor offered a
reward of #IOO for his capture and convic

THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1887.
On Thursday last the steamphip Mfldnd,
i of Philadelphia, bound for Galveston wttu a
! load of coal, struck on the Hillsborough
reef, about four miles from the New river
j house of refuge and three-quarters of a mile
| from shore. On the following morning,
Charles Coman, the station keepor, and two
others boarded her, mid found the crew
j heaving cargo overboard. The weather was
! tine, and they needed no assistance, expect
ing to float off at high tide. This is the
second vessel winch has paid toll at Hills
borough reef this season, and it seems as
though Uncle Sam needs to hurry up the
proposed lighthouse at that place.
The committee of twenty-five appointed
to consider plans for a local option contest,
at Jacksonville, met Thursday night a* the
Young Men’s Christian Association audito
rium to bear the report of tho sub commit fee
of three, consisting of Judge Meek, Dr. Bald
win and M. L. Floyd. A plan for tlie in
auguration of the campaign was submitted
and approved. It was resolved to call a
grand temperance mass meeting at on early
day, and a committee of five, consisting of
J. W. Archibald, Judge Meek, Rev. Orijnke
(colored), J. C. Kernan and M. L. Floyd,
was appointed to arrange for the same.
Good speakers will be engaged, with music,
etc. The time and place will be announced
as soon as tho details are perfected. The
meeting of the committee was a large one,
and great enthusiasm and confidence pre
vailed.
About a month ag ) a Mr. Cornell, of
AVashington, D. C.. wrote to the Chief of
Police of Jacksonville, saying that, his two
boys, Bernard and John, had robbed him of
SIBO and had run off, presumably to this
State. AVe inesday night the police arrested
three young lads as vagrants, and they were
brought before the Mayor Thursday morn
ing. Two of them proved to be the Cornell
boys, whilo tho third. Yale Brainard, said
he was from Baltimore. They gave a very
racy account of their wanderings, but from
their looks it would seem as if they had seen
a very sad side of life. Brainard said
that his mother was dead and that tlie
whereabouts of bis father was unknown.
The lads were all smart and intelligent
looking, but from their mode of life were in
a terrible state of raggedness. Only $5 of
the stolen inonov was left. The two Cornell
boys are held subject to orders from then
father.
Thursday morning’s Jacksonville News-
Herald contained the following local
brevity: “Intelligent voters of the county
ought to consider carefully the names of the
jury in the Medieis case. And yet we pay
taxes and support a vast legal machinery to
get justice.” Judge Baker, when the court
opened, spoke of the item and said it was
his intention to have the grand jury now iu
session investigate the matter, and ascertain
if the objectionable item had the editor's
sanction or not. The legal limbs seem to be
in trouble also lately. The Times-Union
the other morning said a case was postponed
on account of one of the counsel for the de
fense being overcome with liquor.
These stray items, together with
the remarkable verdict in the Garuie
case have given people outside a rather poor
idea of some portions of the legal machinery.
It is now usual, when a prisoner is up for
trial, for someone to remark that his coun
sel should bring in a plea of “temporary
insanity while drunk,” and his client would
be at once cleared.
Lee B. Jones, charged with tho embezzle
ment of $76 from J. It. Tysen, was before
Justice Magill, at Jacksonville, Wednesday.
The testimony showed that Jones was em
ployed as Ixiokkeeper and cashier for Mr.
Tyson a little over a month ago, at a salary
of $1,200 per year, as long as he gave satis
faction ; that lie worked one month and
drew SIOO. and had worked about a week
on the second month, w-hen Mr. Tysen in
formed him about 9 o’clock at night that he
could turn over the keys and the books the
next morning. He (Jones) went to Mr.
Fletcher that same night for counsel,
and was advised to take his pay for
the balance of the month ($76 60) out of
the money which he had in his possession
belonging to Mr. Tysen, and to inform Mr.
Tvsen iu the morning what he had dODe.
Ho did as advised, anil Mr. Tysen swore out
a warrant charging him with the embezzle
ment of tlie money. Thursday' morning
Justice Magill discharged the defendant, as
he said there wes no fraudulent intent ap
pareut, but he added that the act of retain
ing the money- was a reprehensible one.
Air. Jones is a young man of high reputa
tion, and no one thinks ho had any idea
save o. acting under legal advice-
