6 GEORGIA AND FLORIDA. NEWS OF THE TWO STATES TOLD IN PARAGRAPHS. A Child and a Woman Lose Their Lives by Fire at Cochran-A Roof Lifted from a House Near Alapaha When there was no Sign of a Wind Storm. GEORGIA. Macon is preparing to have an extensive poultry and bench show in January next. Mrs. Sallio Fhillpot, an aged lady of Franklin, is supposed to have committed suicide by drowning herself in the river at that place. The Ladies Parsonage Aid Society of Zebulon church have raised during the year #166 40. Zebulon church lias raised for all church purposes this year #406. A citizen and a countryman got into a quarrel at Jackson, last Friday, when at the instance of the citizen the countryman was arrested for disorderly conduct and fined by the Mayor $3 SO,'whereupon the citizen'who caused the arrest, paid the fine. A few days ago the mill and gin house, a two-story building with a cotton seed house attached, belonging to Dr. R. W. Mays, located near Maystown, was burned. The loss is between' $1,500 and $3,000, partly insured. The fire was originated by the gin. At Newnan Saturday, Mrs. W. C. Snead, while bathing her face at the wasiistand at College Temple threw her hand to her face and exclaimed: “Oh, my head, ’ and fell back on the floor dead. She had been com plaining some the last few days. The cause of death was paralysis of the heart. At Macon Saturday, Undertaker Clay furnished a coffin for the remains of Mrs. Lena Horne, of Jefferson vilie The de ceased was aged 62 y -a. t. She was walking in the house, stumb'.cd fell, completely crushing her ankle. The shock to her ner vous system was so groat that it resulted in death.' Breisenick & Son have commenced the erection of a three-story building on Bay street, Brunswick, next to their foundry. The building will cost about $4,500. It is expected Mr. James Oalnan, who owns the adjoining lot, will join with them, and in that event the two buildings will cost about $7,000. Ou Friday evening of last week, while the rain was falling, the roof and plates (the latter pinned down) were lifted from a log house near James Murray’s, two and a half miles from Alapaha, and set down in the yard. There is no sign of wind in the vicinity of the house, in fact there was not the slightest damage to anything except the roof. At Americus Saturday Green Gilbert, the bill poster, had his wife make him a bucket of paste for the purpose of hanging some bills after dinner. Ills wife made it and carried it out in the vard to cool for use. Gilbert’s little 3-year-ofd boy wa. playing in the yard, and, being attracted bv the paste, toddled to it, and, losing his balance, fell into the bucket of scalding hot paste. He was taken out as soon as possible hut was so badly scalded that it is doubtful if he can live. Jackson News: It was rumored on the streets last Wednesday that one James Lindsey, who lives at Sandy Ridge, in Henry "county, was declared to be the man who aasassinuted Tom McNair near Fincher ville, in this county, several months ago. A negro who ha t been arrested and carried to Atlanta on the charge of illicit distilling, says that he was present and held the horses of the parties engaged in the murder. The negro says that James Lindsey did the shooting while the other party or parties decoved McNair from his house. A reward of $350 was offered by t lie Governor for the murderers of Tom McNair. Milledgeville Chronicle: Mr. E. H. Ems wiler showed us a remarkable string of beads the other day. It contained nearly 300, nearly all of which were different, both in material and design. Mr. Emswiler has been farming at Rock landing, on the Lati mer place, about six miles below this city, on the river. Rock Landing was once an Indian village and traders’ post. These beads were scattered here and there over about 300 acres of land, and Mr. Emswiler’s children had made it a point to pick up and save every one they found. Thus the collec tion was secured. " It is probably the most interesting string of beads in the United States, and as an Indian relic is invaluable. Mr. Emswilor also has a good many arrow heads, tomahawks, etc., found there. Jackson News: Emanuel, our colored drayman, is playing in rather hard luck. While he was absent last Tuesday attending his duties his spouse disposed of all their household effects and “vamosed the ranch.” When Emanuel went to his place of quiet repose, he was dumbfounded at the desolate appearance of things in and around the ranch, and with quiet tread and hated breath he proceeded to investigate, in the vain hope that probably she had forgotten something, but not so. Her work of devas tation was so complete that she had not even left her better half a quilt to cover with. Upon learning this Emanuel swore vengeance against his recreant spouse, who had treated him so cruelly, and started on her trail, but up to this writing has not been heard from. Some of the most valuable pieces of proper ty in Atlanta originally sold for a mere song. Lot No. 14, on which a part of the city of Atlanta is now built, was traded years ago for a horse, and a gentleman was' relating Saturday how a man in Bartow county, along hi the forties, bought for $35 what has sold very recently for $56,000. The land whereon the city of Lexington, Ky., is built, years ago was sold for a small drove of horses, and it is said that the two men who formerly owned the Consolidated Virginia silver mines, from which millions of dollars were taken, parted with their in terests, one for two bottles of whisky and a shot gun, and the other for a pair of old blankets and a small pony. Capt. Jackson some months ago bought the top of Hickory Nut Mountain, near Tallulah Falls, for $2,500, that once sold for #25, the sale in - eluding the whole mountain. This is the mountain from which the magnificent view is obtained. At Cochran a few days ago the 4-vear-old child of Bartley Joiner, butcher, was play ing around a fire in the yard when his clothing caught, and before his mother could get his clothing off or the fire extin- S fished he was so badly burned that he ed in a few hours. Mrs. Joiner had her hands badly burned in her efforts to save her child. Mrs. Sarah Barkwell, relict of the late Dr. T. J. Barkwell, whd died in Atlanta sev eral years ago while representing Pulaski county in the Legislature, was burned in the samo way on the same day by standing tod near the fire. Her dress <‘aught, on fire and burned rapidly. She ran out of the house into the yard and before help arrived she was burned so extensively that she died in about forty-eight hours. In passing out of the house she ran by some seed cotton which took fire from her burning dress. Her son, with whom she was living, hap pened to be working near the house and had he and the hands not got there so soon the house would have burned. Mrs. Barkwell had but recently recovered from a severe and almost fatal attack of typhoid fever. FLORIDA. The Maitland Courier is for sale. There are thirteen inmates in the deaf and dumb asylum at St. Augustine. About a dozen new cottage* are being built in New St. Augustino near the railroad shops. A. L. Evans has sold more than $1,200 worth of fruit trees, to be delivered at Green Cove in December. A party of ten is now on the wav from Kentucky to look at the lands of Godson county with the few of locating there in the near future. It is reported at Key West that there will be n change made in the U nitedtate’s Mar - sbals office soon. Col. F. J. Moreno will succeed P. A. Williams. A gentleman representing a number of tobacco growers in Virginia will be at Quincy m a few days tor the purpose of purchasing lands on which to grow tobacco. The tobacco syndicate lias a large force of colored laborers now employed in Godson county, in underbrushing and clearing lauds, undor the direction of Messrs. Bush nell and Sholfor. The South Florida Railroad Company, ever alive to the interests of South Florida, has sent to Cuba and obtained a large quan tity of tobacco seed for distribution, which can be had on application. The offices of the land department of the Florida Southern Railway Company,which were located at Palatka, have been moved to Jacksonville, and are now located in the Hubbard building, corner of Tine und For syth streets. Pierre Lorillard, of New York, has his dogs in training in Green Cove for active service this winter. Powell Jenkins, who has the dogs in keeping, was out with them during the week and bagged thirty-six quails, which they “spotted" to perfection. Ten thousand more boxes of oranges have been transferred at Gainesville from the Florida Southern Pi the Savannah, Florida and Western road than had lieen transferred at this time last year. Either the crop is larger or shippers are marketing their fruit earlier. Orlando Record: Wo regret to hear of a rumor on the streets of an impending diffi culty between two of our most progiinent citizens. It is said that a challenge has passed and will be accepted. We hope triemls of the parties interested will inter fere and prevent an encounter. Fire at Old Town, a suburb of Fernnn dina, Tuesday night destroyed the residence of David Cribb, together with nearly all the furniture and clothing belonging to the family. Repairs to the extent of S6OO were in progress on the building, and as there was no insurance the loss is quite heavy to Mr. Cribb. Lake City Tobacco Plant: We published some time since an interesting illustration of the prolific nature of small seeds, giving as an example the crop of rice gathered by Rev. W. M. Davis from a single seed. It grew in the edge of a shallow pool of water on his tastefully arranged place on Lake DeSoto, and the first crop yielded 04 heads and 16,800 grains. He has just gathered the second crop, which yielded 123 heads and 8,900 grains—giving 216 heads and 25,700 grains as the product of a singlo chance grain. The grains counted ore all perfect, the faulty ones being floated off by wash ing. Heth Canfield, President, and one of the efficient managers of the St. Augustine Im provement Company, and G. A\ . Atwood, also of this company, have been very busy the past month in organizing an Electric Street Railway Company for the Ancient City, to run to their suburb of Buena Es peranza for the present, afterwards to North City and across the St. Sebastian river to New St. Augustine with a centre at or near the plaza. This railway will be one of tho few electric roads in this country and tho only one in the State of Florida. Over one half of the stock of the company has been spoken for. a skeleton of the charter drawn, and tiie articles of incorporation will be published in about one week from date. At St. Augustine Saturday night a das tardly attack was made on Air. Sullies, a confectioner on St. George street, by two drunken negroes, which almost resulted in a murder. Mr. Sullies was attending to his business when the two negroes entered his store aud began to pic-k a quarrel with the proprietor. One of them, William Law rence, became quite abusive, and finally raised his walking cane, which by ati inge nious contrivance also served as a gun, and fired, the ball striking Mr. Sullies rioar the temple, aud glancing off, buried itself in the wall. The latter drew his revolver aud, following Lawrence, firod a shot at him, but was so blinded by the blood streaming from his wound that he missed his man. Anderson and his companion then walked away. A policeman was close at hand, but refused to arrest Lawrence, as there was no warrant against him. Gen. W. H. Washington and father, of Nashville, Tenn., dined with Dr. T. O. Sum mers, at Jacksonville, Saturday night, in company with some of the representatives of old Southern society, It was a peculiar reunion, lien. Walker, of military fame; Dr. It. B. Burroughs, tha grandson of the Attorney General Berrien, of President Jacksons Cabinet; Mrs. Simpson, of Phila delphia, a relative of that branch of the Washingtonian family; Mrs. Pierce, also related indirectly, to the line, were all brought together” in the reunion after tho manuer of the old Southern hospitality. Gen. Washington is a grand nephew of the father of our country, and was recently married to the niece of Secretary Lamar, in Georgia, and is now in Florida for the benefit of his health. On this occasion candles and oriental lamps were used for illuminating purposes instead of gas. Lawtey, Fla., correspondent Jackson ville Hmes-Union: I have recently learned some part iculars of a largo land purchase in South Florida. It consists of about 50,000 acres, situated on Otter creek, near Bron son. Mv information was obtained from Mr. L. W. Sayles, of this place, himself an old Michigan lumberman, who acted as agent for the purchasers in visiting and making the first report as to the land. The principal purchaser is Mr. David Whitney, of Detroit, Mich., who is several times a millionaire, and with him are associated Mr. N. Dunham & Sons. Their office will be situated in Femandina, and their lumber will lx shipped to that city over the Florida Railway and Navigation line. A great part of the timber, especially along the creek, is black cypress, a valuable tree for lumber, which was sought by the purchasers as one substitute for the rapidly disappearing supplies of white pine in the North. Some of the trees have an immense circumference, reaching even to 25 or 20 feet, though the average is about 8 or 9. Near the creek there is almost nothing but the cypress, the gigantic trunks reaching up straight as ar rows. These logs will lie out with hand saws, and w ill be handled almost, entirely by steam power. A tramway will lie built out in various directions and on this will be run out a “skidding” machine, to which is attached a long chain cable. This cable will be dragged out into the woods and made fast to a log, which will then be “snaked” over the ground to the tramway, loaded on and conveyed to tho mill. Dur iug the brief period of the year when the ground is flooded, logs will lie floated to the mill, having been previously cut and made ready for that purpose. Most of the land was purchased for about 81 25 an acre. The mill to bo erected soon will have a capacity of about 1,000,000 feet a year. Mr. Sayles thinks there is timber enough on the purchase to last the mill a man’s lifetime at least. Gen. Sherman a Model First-Nighter From Clara Selle'e Letter. It is delightful to see Gen. Sherman at first nights in theatres. He always has a pretty woman with him, aud the constant attention he pays to her is a lesson to those careless young men who out and dawdle in the lobby or hold up some neighboring bar during the intermissions. The old war-norso is white-headed aud stubbly-bearded. His clothes are not the corre ct evening dress by any means, for lie usually wears a pepper ami salt suit, but there i, a world of earnest admiration iu his honest blue eves, and the court he ]>ays to his companion is more than a claw-hammer coat could convey. You Who Lead Sedentary Lives Will find great relief from constipation, headacho aud nervousness, by taking Sim mons Liver Regulator. It is a simple, harm less, vegetable compound, sure to relievo you. Persons of sedentary habits often suffer with kidney affections. If they would maintain the strength of the digestive organs mid improve the quality of the blood by taking the Regulator it would restore the kidneys to health and vigor. Ward will sing “1 am Sorry It Ever Oc curred,” Theatre Friday. THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1887. SIX TIMES A BRIDE. Remarkable Marital Record of Mrs. Josephine Baxter. Cor. Cincinnati Timet Star. The recent death of Mrs. Josephine Baxter at her home in Trumansburg recalls to those who knew her the remarkable series of vicissitudes through which she passed dur ing her eventful life. Her married life was an extraordinary one, and in detail reads more like Action than a story of real life. She was six times a bride and five times a widow. Born in Canadaigua, in August, 1832, her maiden name was Josephine Tabor. Asa child she was the acknowledged beauty of the neighborhood, and everybody who remembers hor as a young laxly recalls her particularly vivacious and delightful man- 1 ners. In ISSO, when she was 18 years of age, she was sent to the Palmyra Acad-; emy. From the day of her arrival she was the coneeded belle of the academy. Her affection soon set upon an impecun ious but smart vouug teacher in the acad emy named Odell, and one night in Decem ber, 1857, she eloped with him. Her father and mother liad repeatedly begged her to discard Odell, and when the announcement of the marriage was made they were wild with grief. Josephine returned to Canan daigua two weeks later, and shipping at a hotel there, begged for a reconciliation with her parents, who remained obdurate, and she went to Toledo to struggle for a liveli hood with her husband. He became a teacher in a night schoAl, and to mako ends meet his young wife was comi>elled to do sewing in her rooms. In July, 1858. Odell died of consumption, leaving tho widow dependent on her own labor. Hhe was too proud to return to her home and ask for help from her parents, but maintained herself by her needle until Febuary, 1800, when she married Clarence Cushman, a wealthy bachelor pork packer at Cincinnati. She was then 28, and, notwithstanding her hard toil for a livelihood, was as handsome as ever. She lived in quiet style and no couple were ever more devoted to one another. Two children ivere born to them, hut both died in infancy. Mr. aud Mrs. Cushman went to Europe in 1802. In Rome the husband caught the Roman fever, of which he suddenly died. The young woman, again a widow, returned to London only to find that hor husband had been insolvent for several weeks previous to his death. She was left with only a few thousand dollars. For a year or two she was a governess in the house of a London banker and then, losing ail of her money in an unfortunate speculation, she returned to America. . (| , For two years she was a saleswoman in a New York dry goods store. In June, 1880, she was married at Nyack, N. Y., to Lieut. Oscar Williams, of the United States array, and went with him to Fort Sully, Dak. They lived happily together, and Mrs. Williams became a favorite at the Fort. In August, 1867, her husband was drowned and his wife became for a third time a widow. Her father, who had heard of his only daughter’s misfortunes, begged hor to re turn to her home and be forgiven, but she would not go. For two years she was a governess m the family of a Louisville mer chant. She married liov. Edward Lukes at Covington, Ky., in 1869. Her husband was sent a little later as Presbyterian mission ary to India and she accompanied him. They made their home successively in In dia, 'Hong Kong and Honolulu, in each of which places Mrs. Lukes was well known for her devotion to her husband, who was a consumptive. Mr. Lukes died in the Sandwich Islands in 1874, and his widow made her way back to America with her husband's body. For a year she made her home with her brother near this place, then removed to Philadel phia, whex'e she entered a private hospital as nurse. Among the patients to whom she ministered, was Graham P. Estey. a sugar and molasses merchant at New Orleans. He fell desperately in love with bis nurse, and after months of very warm courtship, mar ried her in March, 1878. Their happy home in New Orleans was broken up by her hus band’s failure the next year ami his suicide because of his financial losses. Left a widow for the fifth time and broken in health and spirit, Mrs. Estey^-returned to her brother's home a few weeks after her husband's death. For several months she was very ill and was convalescing When her father died of old age. Until 1881 she lived with lief Jlpotber, and about that time became acquainted with a wealthy ami retired gold miner named Albert Baxter. They were married at Palmyra, iu 1882. The ooupte spc.nt h year or more in travel in Europe aud .Egypt. During the past year Mr. Baxter has been engagod in building a magnificent mansion for their occupancy, near Ithaca, It was their intention to spend their remaining days there, and Mrs. Baxter, who had known so many disappointments and be reavements looked forward with pleasure to her bright prospects But in nil this there was still another disappointment for her. She was attacked about two months ago, when about to remove to her mansion, by a fatal disease. STORY OF A VENDETTA. The Sequel of a Feud that Caused Much Bloodshed While it Lasted. From the New York Sun. Pittsfield, 111., Nov. 23.— The acquit tal of Andrew Hamilton in the Circuit Court of this county, where he has been under indictment for murder for thirteen years, terminates a very notable case. The southern part of Pike county lies bet ween the Illinois river on the east and the Missis sippi on the west, and joins Calhoun county, which is noted as the only county in Illinois without a railroad, telegraph, bank or negro within its borders. In this primitive district a feud de veloped in 1870. The principals were the Hamilton and Daniels families. The former consisted of John, the father, and three sons- Noah, Andrew and Silas, The latter of Col. Daniels and five sons—- John, Poke, Albert, Martin and Clark. The difficulty began over the division line be tween farms. Each side was brave, always ready, and many fights ensued, in which deadly weapons were used. Early in the warfare Noah Hamilton was stabbed and killed, and then Silas was shot dead. The community took sides, and Con Williams was shot and killed by Col. Daniels, and the latter went to the penitentiary. Then old John Hamilton was wounded, and died from the tixmbles that ensued. • During the winter of 1874 Clark Daniels and Andrew Hamilton, then only 10 years of age, met at the house of Mrs. McKee at a dance. Daniels at once assaulted Hamilton, striking him with a slungshot, when Ham ilton shot him dead. The lights were ex tinguished and a general light followed bo tween the friends of those person-. When order was restored Hamilton had fled, and three people woro found to be shot. A large reward was offered for the fugitive, but without success. The memory of t he tragedy was suddenly revived in July last by the announcement that a wealthy ranchman and mine owner named Richard llarcrater had been arrested in Baker City, Oregon. Ho was identified as Andrew Hamilton, the slayer of Clark Daniels. He was brought back here for trial. The story of Hamilton’s escape and his career since then, is full of interest. After the killing of Daniels, he and a young woman with whom ho had gone to a party, mounted the same horse aud rode thirty miles in tho bitter cold, having their hands and fcfeet frozen. Hamilton was laid up in concealment for two months in conse quence, and the woman died a year later from the effects. Hamilton then went to San Francisco, and after a year, went to Cuba, remaining two years, and returning, settled in Baker City, Oregon, assuming Uio name of Richard llarcrater, under which he married a highly respectable young woman, by whom he hail two children. After his arrest, he re-married his wife under his own name, and re-conveyed a large amount of property conveyed to her under his former name. The trial was fought bitterly, but Hamilton was acquitted ou the ground of aelf-defense. THE LAND BOOM. Prices Way Up Among the Stars—The Dangers to be Avoided. The wonderful land boom of the past year has excited very general attention. It has not been confined to any one locali ty, for, as Chauneey M. Depew said, after a visit to the West, “At nearly every one of the trade centres we visited, wo found ex travagant and untenable views of proejiect ive real estate values.” Of course the vast army of men engaged, in one way or another in these enterprises, were loth to believe their views either ex travagant or untenable. Both they and Dopew are right to a certain extent. Land values liavo rapidly and permanent ly increased in this country in the last, fifty years. This is especially noticeable in the “jumping” West, along the lines of Lew railroads. Thousands of new cities have sprung up, with a growth perf- ctiy astonishing, anil great fortunes have boon made in real estate. Land values must continue to increase generally, because tiie available area of laud in the country is now so small as to render inevitable its entire absorption in a few years. One hundred years from now, at the present rate of increase, our population will be 400 to tho square mile—twice as many as in the largest European nations. To boa safe speculator, it is necessary to study cause and effect, as the proprietors of Warner’s safe cure did in preparing their remedy. Its success is great, because it reaches the cause of disease. Every drop of blood coursing through the system passes through the kidney*. If they are in sound working order, the blood is purified; if de ranged, poison, that should be eliminated, is carried through the blood channels to every part of the system. The poison attacks the weak points, and so come the long list of resulting ailments. Remedy the cause, put the purifying organs in health, and the whole system becomes healthy. There must be a solid Iwisis for a land boom, however, or it will inevitably result in a crash, entailing great losses and subse quent injurious depression. Two thousand dollars per foot front for land in some cities might be a judicious investment, in others, very indiscreet. It is wise to mnke investments oi a character in ilicating a permanent, if slower, growth and increase of value. WINES AM) LIQUORS. D. B. Lester’s STOCK.
