CUT TO PIECES BY CARS.
HORRIBLE PATE OF AN UNKNOWN
MAN AT JACKSONVILLE.
Hardly any Two Parts of the Body
Left Together—A Romantic Marriage
in New Jersey—Searching for the
Passengers from the Alesia Hie
Fight Over the Charter.
Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. 23.— An un
known white man was run over and killed
by the morning express train to Fernandina
on the Belt railroad of the Florida Railway
and Navigation Company, just at the city
limits, at the extension of Pine street, this
morning. The accident occurred between
two street crossings, and the track was
straight for a mile in each direction.
The body was literally cut to
pieces. The trunk was separated from the
lower portion of the bod}’. Both legs were
cut off at the ankle, with the feet remain
ing in the shoes. The arms were severed
below the elbow. The remains were strewn
along the track for a distance of 100 yards,
and when picked up and placed
together presented little evidence
of humanity. The face alone es
caped serious disfiguration, only one bruise
showing on the forehead, and from the
calm expression of the features it is inferred
that, death was instantaneous. Justice Ma
guire impanelled a jury in the city and
proceeded to the spot and viewed the re
mains. No one was present w'ho had seen
t he accident or knew the man, aud the jury
adjourned till afternoon The man was about
2 years old, had a fair, sandy complexion,
light hair ami a heavy lignt moustache
with the ends curled up. He was well clod
in light gray pants, dark coat, dark blue
flannel shirt, new shoes and a slouch hat, a
blue tic, new ‘-polka-dot,” was tied around
Jus neck. lie has been seen hero in the city
but nothing could be found among the
pieces of clothing by which to identify him.
The Coroner's jury rendered a verdict of
accidental death.' Tbeengineer on the train
testified that the man was lying on the
track, and as the morning was slightly
foggy, he did not see him in time to stop.
A ROMANTIC MARRIAGE.
Hr. Wallace Mitchell, of this city, returned
last night with his bride nee Miss Eva Sal
lace, of Jersey City, N. J. It is said to boa
true love match with all tho romantic ele
ments of love at first sight to make it inter
esting. Hr. Charlton, of Savannah, was to
ha ye been tho doctor's best man, but’ being
“exjiosed” sly Cupid transfixed him also,
mid the two marriages occurred about tho
same time.
THE ITALIANS FROM THE ALESIA.
The five Italians mentioned in tho letter
from the New York State Board of Health,
which was published in to-days Morning
News are already here. They- were resi
dents here formerly and left last spring for
Italy, and returned home on tho Alesiu. It
is reported that they arrived here yesterday
but their whereabouts remain undiscovered
hs yet. Dr. Knight is after them, however,
aud they might as well surrender at once,
for the doctor never gets loft on such chases.
It is not supposed there is any- danger, yet
the doctor desires to satisfy himself fully
about the matter. It is said Micole Corletto
owes Church, Anderson At Cos. over SIOO,
ar.d that they two are lying in wait to ar
rest him on charges of crookedness. Bet ween
the two fil-es it is very likely they will be
found.

THE CITY CHARTER.
The stir over the new city charter eon
tinues, and all phases of opinion are heard.
As Doc 12 is tiie date it goos into effect,
something will have to be done at once.
At its called meeting last night the
City Council considered the question.
Alderman Triay called up the matter and
stated that in a conversation with two of
the attorneys, D. U Fletcher and L. I.
Fleming, they stated that it was their opin
ion that an election could lie held. But
what measures would have to be adopted
they were not prepared to report. On
motion the special committee appointed to
investigate the matter was requested to
have the attorneys submit at as early a date
as possible their report embodying whether
or not an election can be held, and how the
same should be called.
Late last night the following call was
issued:

A PROHIBITION RALLY.
The prohibition committee of twenty-five
appointed to conduct the campaign called a
mass meeting at the Opera House to-night.
The demonstration was immense. The seats
were all filled and the aisles were crowded.
After hearing Chairman J. \V. Archibald's
report, a committee of twenty-five was ap
pointed to select theexecutive committee of
nine to conduct the campaign. Numerous
speakers then addressed the large audience.
They were heartily applauded. The pro
hibition movement is literally a wave in
this county.
A railroad man well-known in transpor
tation matters said this evening that-H. M.
Flagler, the millionaire President of the
Standard Oil Company, has arranged for
50,'XK) thousaud-imle round trip railroad
tickets from New York to St. Augustine,
which will lie placed on sale in New York
city Jan. 1 at SIOO each. The purchaser is
to have free transportation to St. Au
gustine and return and five days
board and lodgings at the new Ponce <ie
I a-oii Hotel. On their return to New York
they will receive a rebate of SSO. This gives
them a round trip passage and five days
board for SSO, just about what the ticket
costs now by various lines, it is expeobil
that nearly all these tourists will remain
longer than the five days at Mr. Flagler’s
hotel, and even if they don’t it is said that
he will receive $2 on each ticket sold,
which will make the neat sum of SIOO,UOO,
provided the 50,000 tickets are sold. Trans
portation men say it is a unique scheme.

GEORGIA'S CAPITAL CITY.
Isabella Rooney Released From Serv
ing a Life Sentence.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 23. —The following
Supremo Court decisions were handed down
to-day:
E. E. Knox, administrator, vs. Edwin
Bates & Cos.; from Taliaferro. Reversed.
George Short vs, the State; from Wilkes.
Reversed.
J. M. Timmons vs. the State; from
Oconee. Affirmed.
Some prominence has recently been given
to the fact that there is only one white
woman in the Georgia penitentiary, Isabel
la Rooney, a young woman from Clay
county, sent up for life, for murder. In
1885 a quarrel arose between tho Millirons
and Roonevs, neighboring families, first in
volving Mrs, Millirons, Mrs. Rooney
and her daughter Isabella. Sub
sequently Willis Henderson a half
brother of Isabella, and Marion
Millirons fought over it, Hudson killing
Millirons. Hudson was convicted of mur
der and hung. Mrs. Rooney and Isabella
were indicted as accessories. The mother
died in jail and Isal>e!l was sent up for life.
The Governor pardoned Isabella to-day.
The order recites that “whereas the
said Isabella Rooney was only
an accessory to the murder, and acted
under the influence of her mother, and in
obedience to a natural impulse in defending
that mother when assaulted by the man
wiio was murdered; and whereas her mother
has died in jail and her brother, who did
the killing, has been hung in expiation
of his crime, and whereas the said Isabella
Rooney is an exceedingly weak minded girl,
in fact almost an imbecile, who is kept by
the authorities of the convict camp in con
finement, or under close surveillance
all the time to protect
her from the damages of association out of
the white and colored convicts about her;
and whereas a petition has been filed for
many months in this department, indorsed
by the special committee of the penitentiary
of the last General Assemby, and signed by
a large number of the citizens of Clay
county, including many of the county of
ficials and the members of the jury by
whom she was convicted, and by the Rep
resentatives of the said county in the last
Legislature; and whereas the Executive
is assured that this harmless and helpless
girl, if released from the penitentiary, will
be taken in charge by good people, who will
place her uuder proper influences and con
trol, ; therefore it is ordered that said Isa
bella Rooney be and she is hereby pardoned
of the offense of which she was convicted,
and that she be forthwith discharged. Isa
bella has been at the Chattahoochee camp.
Uriah C. Fisher, serving five years for
larceny from Greene county was also par
doned to-day. Since his confinement he has
been in the hospital with an incurable
chronic disease. lind the pardon was
granted, on a long petition.
Tiie special legislative appropriation of
$575 for Georgia bond No. 349 aud the cou
pons of the issue of 1862, which matured in
1872, was paid by the Treasurer to-day. The
bond was not presented at maturity, but by
mistake was marked paid on the Treasury
books. Nearly every Legislature since has
been asked to pay it.
Eight Confederate survivors disabled in
arm or leg were pai l off to-day under the
new law.
The Adjutant General has received and
accepted the resignation of M. D. Landrum,
Second Lieutenant of the Sylvania Rifles.
Since the registration closed large num
bers of printed lists have been circulated
over town purporting to be accurate lists of
registered voters, 'they abound in inaccu
racies and omissions, and created a great
deal of excitement and indignation, which
threatened trouble Saturday.
Representatives of both sides met with
County Commissioners and Registrars to
day and reached a basis of agreement about
tiie registration, which largely removes the
Apprehension of trouble, it is found, more
over, that few of the inaccuracies com
plained of appear on the official lists.
A RESORT IN THE PINES.
A Good Outlook for a Successful Sea
son at Thomasville.
Thomasville, Nov. 23.—The regular
hotels and private boarding houses are fill
ing up rapidly with Northern visitors, many
of whom are making arrangements to spend
the entire winter in South Georgia. The
two grand hotels will not open until about
the middle of December. Owing to the
fever scare in Florida the prospect is that
this city will be filled and overflowing this
winter with Northern and Western people.
Tiie city is more attractive than ever, as
everybody has done his share toward im
proving the place.
The Savannah, Florida and Western rail
way, it is said, will push the extension to
the" Florida line with all possible dispatch.
It will probably reach the State b-undarv
line before the people of Monticello are
ready to build the branch from that town.
If the situation takes that shajie it will be
advantageous to Thomasville. The people
are anxious, however, to get a road through
to the southward, and will be disap[ointed
if Tallahassee and Monticello don't promptly
build their connections with tho Savannah,
Florida and Western railway’s line. There
are mapy rumors of new railroads in South
Georgia, but those who should know best
place little faith in such projects unless the
Savannah, Florida and Western railway is
interested.

Columbus, Ga., Nov. 23.—The Columbus

One Phase of the Boston Girl.
Prom. the Boston Post.
Very picturesque in her becoming Rus
sian peasant costume will the girl of Boston
look as she sits behind the Russian samovar
this winter and dispenses tea as it is served
in the land of the Czar, very hot, and with
its delicate slices of lemon floating atop.
The only opportunity given young women
to dress in artistic and characteristic gar
ments is at the “5 o’clock,” which meets the
demand in a very satisfactory manner, for
there is liberal license in the modes and
models which it allows of. The Russian
peasant’s costume is one which particularly
is suited to the beauty of youth, its simple
lines and unity making it an artistic as well
as a becoming dress. The apron, the badge
of jieasant servitude, is a most fascinating
affair, which, in its daintiness, must appeal
to any young girl and make her wild to
wear one. A rare chance for a pretty girl
to look her prettiest is that which the
priestess of the samovar possesses when she
is given the honor of presiding over the
steaming Russian utensils of the tea table.

POISON OAK.
A Plague for 25 Years, But Cured by
the Use of Prickly Ash, Poke Root
and Potassium.
Dear Sir —ln 1861 I broke out with an
attack of Poison oak. W hether or not it
caine buck on me during the next three
or four yeare 1 do not remember, but
from about 1805 to 1885 1 suffered most
severely from repeated attacks of tills
eruption, The use of some external
remedies gave a relief —’twos only tem
porary—till in 187!* I found that lodide
of Potassium and Syrup of Sarsaparilla
benefited me not a lift le. However, even
then I was not cured, for from 1882 to
1885 the attacks were more severe, pro
longed and frequeut than ever, coming
upon me ns many as four, and even five
times during the year In the spring of
1885 I took a course of P. P. P., and
from t at time I have been free from
eruptions of this poison. Only once,
early in this month, a few bumps ap
peared on my wrists, but dried up in a
day or two. being the dying throes, as it
were, of this horrid and loathsome dis
ease. After being plagued for about
l went.v-flve yeare with Poison Oak l con
sider myself cured, aud by the use of
about one bottle of P. P. P.

the handsome diamond necklace of Mrs.
Cleveland, and while we wouldn’t for a
