6 GEORGIA AND FLORIDA. NEWS OF THE TWO STATES TOLD IN PARAGRAPHS. A Man Killed by a Fall Down a Well at Ellyay-Thousands of Acres of Land Sold for 30c. Per Acre in Gilmer and Fannin Counties. GEORGIA. A Masonic hall and academy will be erected at Jesupsoon. The Ordinary, on the petition of over 1,000 voters, has called au election on the question of bonding Laurens county for Weoueaday, Dec. 21. The fourth quarterly meeting of the Sum ter Countv Sabbath School Association will lie held in Americus, at the Methodist church, on Thursday. Nov. 24. The cotton crop of Wilkes county brings in nearly #1,000,000. This gives an average of about $6O to every man, woman and child, white and black, in the county. At Augusta Thursday the special commit tee of the Council decided to allow the elec tric light wires to remain in use as at pres ent, provided that where they enter houses they be properly insulated. In spite of the long drought the sweet po tato crop has turned out a remarkable yield in Middle Georgia this year. A Twiggs county farmer was in Macon Thursday, and said that ho should have to carry back a part of his load of potatoes, because lie could not afford to sell them al 40c. and 50c. Ho held them at (Sc., and could not get no bid at over 50c. The grocers retail at from SOc. to #l. A party of men of Augusta have organ 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 above the city and only eight miles out. They have purchased it and will erect a hotel and convert it into both a winter and summer resort. Thirty-seven veal’s ago the lot on New 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. R. W. V‘ v.T .1 of Columbus, purchased a large tract of wild land in Gilmer and Fan nin counties last week. He represents a cor poration in Columbus that will very likely invest more extensively iu that section. He bought twenty-two lots in Gilmer county, and fifty-eight in Fannin, making eighty lots, or 12,800 acre-.'"ln all, for which he paid about $4,000. lie states that he would not take double the amount for the prop erty. 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. James Allen, William Defore and Thomas Yearly cut down a tree of the short straw variety in Walden's creek swamp, mar what is known as the cypress lake. Dodge county, from which they rived over 5,000 t wo-foot boards. The first four blocks made 1,167 boards, and one cut of the four made •403. The first seven • : made over 2,000. These gentlem.l sawel off twenty-two blocks of the tree, from which tbev rived, by actual count, 5,000 all giod hea-t boards that will average 5 inches in width. They say there is enough of this immense 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. FLORIDA. State Treasurer Grill continues to im prove. Bartow will have an Episcopal church building soon. AVilliam Murry has just been convicted of arson at MoatJcello. At Orlando nearly forty warrants have I wen issued for jiarties failing to pay street tax. AVork on the Carrabelle railroad is reported as progressing finely. Several miles have been graded and the force is being increased every week. A contract has just been given to AY T . H. Thompson to build anew Methodist church at AVaukeenah. He says he wiU have the edifice completed by Christinas. At liuwtey Stephen Powers has purchased the six-acre orange grove of Col. Reed, of Femnndina. Mr. Powers on some two acres or less of this land raised and sold S9OO worth of strawberries. The County Judge's office at Orlando re ceived three wild cat skins AVednesday for bounty. This is getting to be an expensive thing for the county. For the presen;, month, at the same ratio, it will reach SOO At Clay Springs a movement is on foot to raise funds to build anew school building, as one is much needed. The ladies have taken the matter in hand, and will soon give an entertainment of some sort to help in the good work. At Tallahassee the cotton receipts are 100 per cent, greater than during the same period last year, and a large portion of the crop is yet unmarketed. The staple is of excellent quality and the prices received much more satisfactory than for two vears past. T. J. Moore, of AVaukeenah, has recently taken out a patent on au egg-case. It is in tended to preserve eggs, as well as to be a convenience in shipping them. Eggs placed in his case will remain fresh for three months in the wnrmest season of the year. AV. T. Dees, of Lafayette county, has in his possession a chicken which ho regards as a great curiosity. It is full grown, and in place of a comb it has a horn an inch and a half long. It is a veritable horned chicken and is attracting considerable attention in bis vicinity. The party who used the mail boat to cross Hillslioroiigh inlet., thereby indirectly causing Air. Hamilton's death, ha-; been captured, and is now in care of Mr. O’Neill, the Hheriff, at T,ako Worth, who will deliver him to the United States authorities at Jacksonville on the charge of obstructing the mail. Information from the Post Office Depart ment at AVashington, received by lion. Samuel Pasco, is to the effect that the De jMiftuient considers impracticable the re quests made by the last Legislature for an increase in mail service for certain points in West Florida and in Taylor and Lafayette counties. Dr. H. A. A'ogelbach, of Melrose, died on Tuesday evening of hemorrhage of the bowels. He was a prominent citizen of Clay county —one of the County Commis sioners- and died at Green Cove Springs. At tlie time of his death he was associate editor of the Melrose Payliiiht. He was a member of the Masonic fraternity. The Railroad Commission hus received from Col. AA'. R. Davis, General Counsel for the Florida Southern railway, a communi cation protesting against the enforcement of the passenger rates fixed for the Char lotte Harbor division. Next Monday has been set for the hearing of the South Florida railroad officials on this subject. The new machinery for .lie ra'lroad com pany’s sawmill at Carrabelle has arrived, and in about three weeks they expect to start up w,th day and night crews. Elec tric lights will be in abundance about the mill and premises. If the mill turns out 100,00 b feet every twenty-four hours it will employ about 100 men, not to mention the army that w ill be necessary in the woous to furnish the logs. Although it is late in the fall, rattlesnakes are being killed in large numbers in the country adjacent to AVaukeeunh. They are generally of enormous size and very vicious. A ratth snake recently visited a lady's poul try yard near there, and was can lit going off with a half-grown turkey. The lady railed her two yard dogs and set them oil the snake. Ho struck both dogs, killing them, but when the turkey was released it was found to be uninjured. The snake was finully killed by two negroes with fence rails. lie measured ti feet and 7 inches long, and had fifteen rattles. The ease of the State vs. Charles Brown (colored), indictment for murder, came up 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 tion of the crime charged. After several months concealment ha was captured and delivered to the Sheriff. Ho was found guilty and goes to the penitentiary for life. 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- BLACKBERRY JUICE. ipl I M EN ^ISf t MIHALOVITCITS - ||p HUNGARIAN g | g| I .
