2 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. There will lie service at St. Andrew’s c hurch to-morrow, Tuacksgiving day, at 11 o’clock sun time. The sermon will be preached by Bishop Weed. The offerings will be devoted to the Orphanage and Home for the Friendless. The Union Thanksgiving service this year is to be held at Methodist church, eorm r Duval and Newnan streets. Rev. W. H. Dodge will preach the sermon and near ly all the ministers and congregrations of the city will participate. The offerings will be given to the Orphanage and Home of the Friendless. 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: To the Members of the Democratic City Execu tive Cumin ittee: Gentlsmrn—You are hereby notified to meet at toe office of lion. A. W. Owens. Holmes’ building, at 7:80 p. in., standard time. Saturday, Nov. 26, for the purpose of considering aiid providing for the holding of an election in pur suance ot the act of the legislature of 1887, establishing the municipality of Jacksonville, etc. E. J. Thiav, t liairman. Xov. 22. 1887. 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. a fight with knives. John Mills and William Thomas, both colored, engaged in a stabbing affray to day, and the former was badly cut, Thomas also beating him with an iron bar. Both were street car employes. Thomas is be hind the bars. The “electrical boys” met to-dny and formed a permanent association, called the Florida Electrical Society. The ofticei-s are: B. F. Dillon, President; L. E. Spencer, First Vice President- W. R. Davis, Second Vice President; G. W. Davis, Third Vice Presi dent, and J. S. Arnold. Fourth Vice Presi dent; E. B. King, Secretary; D. J. Crowley, Treasurer, aud R. B. Rood, Librarian. Pensacola Pointers. Pensacola, Fla., Nov. 23.—The city authorities have ordered out the Pensacola fire department on next Friday, Nov. 25. if the fire laddies will put in such an ap pearance as they usually do at the fire alarms they certainly will win encomiums. The department will be under Chief Mar shal J. M. Whitehead. The Catholic Knight* of America, branch No. 210, John Cosgrove President, arc fixing new and comfortable quarters in whicli to locate their library aud hold their meet ings. 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 CHAPTERS. An Iron Cornice Falls to the Walk, En dangering Several Lives. Columbus, Ga., Nov. 23.—The Columbus Ledger has moved into new and larger quarters on Broad street, nearly opposite the Rankin House. The building was form erly known as the West Side Hotel. This morning while workmen were hoist ing a portion of the iron front of Kirvens’ new stores when a large piece of iron, weighing several hundred pounds, was twenty feet above the ground the pulley rows broke and the iron fell to the side walk. Several persons narrowly escaped injury. A lottery has I men arranged for the Guards’ library fair. There will lie 1,000 tickets at $1 each. The Rosehill lot is the first prize. It is valued at S4UO. A silver service, valued at S2OO, is the second prize. There are twenty-five other prizes valued at SIOO. It will be conducted on tl:e same principles as the Louisiana State Lottery. In Muscogee Superior Court to-day three negroes were sentenced to short terms on the chain-gang. The court adjourned till Fri day morning. Last night a negro girl found Allen Clark’s baby lying in the street. The brutal father left it there to die. A search was niade for him, but he could not be found to-day. His Ninetieth Birthday. Athens, G a., Nov. 23.—H. L. Brittain, an esteemed citizen of Athens, celebrated bis 00th birthday by giving a dinner to his friends to-day. Mr. Brittain is in fine health, and through care and prudence lie has attained this ripe old age. He lias not placed his foot upon ground for over ten years, though he frequently sits on his porch. A Dwelling: Burnod. Sylva'nia, Ga., Nov. 23.—The dwelling house, barn and outhouses of Mrs. Lemuel Parker, in this county, were burned Mon day nigbt. The tire is thought to have originated from a defective flue. There was no insurance upon any of the buildings, and nothing was saved from the flames. Refugees Returning Too Quick. Tampa, Fla., Nov. 28.—One death oc curred to-day, that of Mrs. Bean. There are four new cases, two of adults and two of children. Refugees are returning. The weather is warm, and the fears of an out break of fever among them are being real ized- TIIE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1887. Death at Winter Park. Winter Park, Fla., Nov. 23. —Mrs. Clinton B. Davids died at 3 o’clock to-day in g*ving birth to twin girls. Both children arc alive and perfect.

Attempted Suiciae. St. Augustine, Fla., Nov. 23. J. Crim | attempted to commit suicide to-day by cut | ting his throat with a knife, but only suc ; oeoded in cutting the fleshy part of the larynx. Alcoholism was probably the cause. _ 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.

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. D. WATSON WINN. Rev.
