6 GEORGIA AND FLORIDA. NEWS OF THE TWO STATES TOLD IN PARAGRAPHS. An Atlanta Policeman’s Uniform Leads to Startling Disclosures—An Inceu diary Burns a Barn Near Hartwell— A Stampede at the Circus at Albany. GEORGIA. Talliaferro wont wet Monday by a ma jority of 107, after a dry spell of two years. It was a quiet election. The Prohlbitioni-ts will contest. Avery heavy vote was polled. The wife of R. F. Sbannan. of Terrell county, is one of five sistei-s each of whom has eight children, all being boys with the exception of one. In time of war that family could send a solid company to the front. On Sunday last Rt. Rev. Thomas A. Becker, Bishop of Savannah, assisted by Rev. Fathers Bazin and Schadewell, dedi cated the Catholic church at Glen Ellen, between Gordon and Mclntyre, on which occasion the Bishop preached. Smith ville News: Nothing succeeds like success. A year ago a young man came to Lee county to make his fortune, with only a valise and $2 in his pocket, and he's got the valise vet and great hopes of catching the man who borrowed the *2. At Albany Monday a stampede was caused at the circus grounds as the proces sion returned, by the cry, “a tiger nas es caped!” Thousands of negroes made a wild rush, fences were btoken down, peoplo were trampled upon, mules and horses ran away, scattering wagons and contents. m Bronwood Reporter: We hear of a good many candy pullings, etc., of late. The Reporter will take in some of them as soon as we can raise enough money to buy anew pair of jeans pants to supplant the ones we are now wearing, they being too badly worn for exhibition on such occasions. Tallapoosa Journal: Taylor Mann, a brick mason, who lives at this place, was run over by the train and killed, three miles this side of Edwardsville, Ala., on Wed nesday night. The engineer saw him sitting on the track, but not in time to stop his train. Mann is supposed to have been drunk when killed. He leaves a wife and two children. Tallapoosa Journal: “You say there is no room for more visitors iu Tallapoosa?” queried a gentleman with a bright race, who looked as if he had just arisen from a good night’s rest. “No room, indeed. Why, there are two beds in the room where I bunk, and only eight of us sleep there. Plenty room for five or six more yet, you see.” A negro on one of Gen. Phil Cook's plan tations, near Smithville, was recently turned out of the church for card playing. He took it very much to heart and besought the General to use his influence to have him “re stored.” The General saw the stewards and threatened them with the grand jury, where upon they decided to restore tho fallen brother, and did so forthwith. There is a lady in the neighborhood of Eatonton who has an embroidered counter pane, which was her great-grandmother’s, which was picked from the cotton bolls, then from the seed, then carded, spun and woven, all being the work of her hands: also the thread with which it is embroidered was prepared by her in the same way. It is beautifully worked, and there are a great many different stitches. Ben Christian, who was reared in DeKalh county, is now confined in the city prison at Atlanta. He is id* erter from the United States Army. Chris., *u enlisted in the United States Yrmy about two years ago, and wassentto Jet* tt'zon barracks, Missouri. He did not take to ar u f life, and about five months ago deserted and came home. The usual reward was offered, and in a short time Atlanta detectives were searching for him, and bis arrest is the result. Summer ville News: One day this week a smtleman came to town who wanted to see ohn D. Taylor. One of our citizens hear ing the gentleman inquiring for Mr. Taylor said to him: “When you sec the ugliest man in town you have found your man: that will be Mr. Taylor.” The gentleman in looking for Mr. Taylor saw one whom ho thought filled the description given to him. But it proved to be another lawyer, Mr. J. G. Hunt. Now Mr. Taylor is laughing in his sleeve and saving he is glad there Is an other man in town who fills the description given of him. A sensational wedding occurred at SandersviUe Wednesday night last between M. H. Bird and Miss Lilia Wail. Wednes day, at 4 o’clock, was the appointed hour for the ceremony, but as the young lady’s father strongly objected to her being mar ried by a Catholic priest, of which denomi nation Mr. Bird is a member, the wedding did not occur at the appointed time, and a clandestine marriage was decided upon. Ac cordingly, some time after dark, while the father s attention was being distracted from the proceedings, the young lady was taken into the buggy from the back wav and driven rapidly to the residence of Dr. A. Mathis, where, with locked doors and oars for a pursuer, they were happily married by Rev. Godfrey Schadwell. The Presbyterian By nod of Georgia, at its meeting in Home last week, adjourned with out establishing the proposed female col lege, to be under the control of the synod. There is a very strong feeling among the members of this wealthy and influential denomination in favor of a female college. It is contended that the other religious sects in the State have schools for the higher education of their girls, and that these schools exert a wonderful influence over the minds of the young women, which clings to them, and is easily discernible in after years. A great deal more depends upon the school than is at first imagined, and it is ex ceedingly probable that by the time the next svnod convenes, a plan will have been formed looking toward an early organization. Ellijay Courier: Judge Thomas P. Greer, of the County Court, no doubt thinks that bricks are a good thing, but he wonld, too, no doubt, rather suggest where they are placed. Sheriff M JL Cox not living a skilled mason is rather careless sometimes where he lays them. On yesterday evening, in the passage of the court house, the Sheriff was removing some brick piled up behind one of the doors. Judge Greer was dirink ing heavily, and some interference on his part brought on some words, when he drew a brick to pelt the Sheriff when the latter pushed him away. The Judge let fly his brick, but missed its mark, and the Sheriff replied with one that struck the Judge on the bead, knocking him down. The Sheriff kicked him a time or two when friends in terfered, and all was quiet along the Poto mac last night A curious accident happened Saturday night to an anti-Prohibitionist at Atlanta. Louis Taylor, a negro boy, who drives a wagon for Stocks, coal dealer, dislocated his jaw by cheering for the success of anti prohibition. As long as the fellow %nild shut and open his mouth at will ho did not regret the efforts that Ins shouts caused him to make, but the moment his jaw became dislocated and he could not close his mouth, be began to entertain serious doubts as to the propriety of yelling as loudly as he had been doing. The accident frightened Taylor greatly, and he almost went crazy with tear. At about 4 o’clock Sunday morning his friends carried him to the office of Drs. Westmoreland & Howell, where with but little trouble his mouth was closed, aud he was sent on his way rejoicing. James Balford. residing five miles east of Hartwell, had bis barn entirely destroyed by fire Saturday night The loss consists of a good barn, about 4,000 bundles of fodder and a considerable amount of hay, co'.ton •eed, etc. A fine colt and a mule are suffer ing greatly from burns. The fire was, no doubt the work of an incendiary. Hack Khiflet and Frank Khan, both colored, have been lodged in jail on pretty strong sus picion. Hr. Balford was not at, home at the time. From discoveries made it seems possible that an effort had also been made toburn bis dwelling. Mrs. Balford says she P°P plainly and got up and looked about the bouse, aud it is supposed that she scared the incendiary off. In a very short time the barn was discovered burning. Matches were round at one corner of the dwelling. Smithville News: When we arrived in Leesburg last Sunday night the genial host of the Forrester House assigned us to a room in which we found two other newspaper men—T. P. Green, of the Albany News, and W. K. Pilsbury. 'of the Amencus Re corder. Later on came Tison, of the Indian River, Fla., Mirror. Up to this time we had dwelt together in perfect harmony, but “a change came o’er the spirit of our dreams.” The Recorder man weighs 110 ! pounds, and Tison near ISO. They occu i pied the same bed, and on getting into it, it ; fell through with a crash, the slats breaking i in-half. Then words ensued as to who had ; done it, Tison blaming it on the Recorder, and the Recorder berating Tison. But tho latter settled all doubts as to the Jonah in the crowd by moving to the bed occupied by the .Smithville News and the Alliany News, which also came down beneath his weight. New furniture was then ordered, and after ward everything went well. Ty-Ty correspondence Macon Telegraph: Friday last being weekly review day at Mayflower Academy, and Mr. M. B. Pitt being a patron of the school, and having never attended one of the reviews. Prof. Brantley decided he would get him there, sent five of the larger boys to his store for the purpose of carrying him to the school room. It seems that Mr. Pitt had an idea of their coming, and had Marshal Green and several of the boys posted for the occa sion. As soon as the schoolboys made their appearance the Marshal, with his posse, formally arrested them and marched them off to the calaboose and locked them up. When the professor learned the fate of the boys he sent a delegation of girls after them. However, as the girls carried Mr. Pitt along Marshal Green shied around the gilds and hied him self to the calaboose and let the boys out, after they had had a good fright. They begged for their release, promising not to go after any other man that did not want to go to the school house. Altogether they had a good deal of amusement at tho boys’ expense. It is said they do not want to see the calabcoie since the occurrence. At Sparta Saturday night, about 11 o'clock, Dr. A. F. Durham, while returning home from his office, was assaulted on the main street of the town, not far from Col. J. T. Jordan’s corner. As he was walking along on the sidewalk he was passed by a negro, whom he did not recognize, but to whom he said “Good evening.” He then heard a clicking noise, and on turning to see the man, he was fired upon by the stran ger. The ball grazed his forehead, slightly breaking the skin. The man then rushed upon him, jerked his walking stick from his hand and knocked him down and over into the ditch. His assailant then looked at him good and turned and ran, and has not been seen or heard of since. The doctor’s head was considerably bruised and made to bleed profusely, but he was not permanently injured and is now up and doing well. All that he knows about the negro is that he was black, low and stout, and wore a gray coat, but thinks he would know him if he should see him again. All the circum stances are to the effect that the doctor was taken for someone else, and that as soon as hiR assailant saw his mistake he made off. Such is the doctor’s opinion also. Tom Hadley, who was put on the Atlanta police force last April ana was discharged a month ago, is circulating a peculiar story. Here it is in his own language: “When I was discharged from the force,” says Hadley, “I owed something over S2O on my police uniform, and the city owed me sl7. When I turned in the city’s property, Chief Connolly wanted to appropriate the sl7 to tho payment of my uniform, and wanted me to give up a part of the uniform to make it even. You know that we pay for our uniforms in monthly in stallmeuts. I declined to do so, but said I’d give up the entire unifo.ra and take my money. He declined to do this, and then I said I'd keep all the uniform. But I ain’t got it now. A few days ago someone carried a note to my wife which had my name at the bottom, asking for the uniform, and got it.” Ex-Policeman Had ley exhibited tne note. It was miserably written and used very offensive language After ascertaining the facts. Halley secured the note aud, surrendering it to Chief Con nolly, asked for an investigation. Tho chief has detectives looking into the matter, and says that he will show some sensational developments in a day or two, FLORIDA. Work has commenced on the Union depot at Sanford. A railroad is to be constructed between St. Augustine and Anastasia Island. N. D. Smith has leased tho Apopka Hotel, and proposes to conduct it in first-class style. John It. Crow, of Hawkinsville, ha3 sold his stock of oranges for $1 50 a box on the dock. The St. Augustine Gun Club is no more, its affairs having been voluntarily put in the hands of a receiver to be wound up. On account of quarantini regulations roarly all the Hillsborough oranges around Plant City have been sent to Lakeland. Theodosia Gillet Houghton, married to Rev. L. E. Surquond. of Enterprise, at Detroit, Nov. 2, died at Enterprise Mon day. Messrs, Dugger and Owens, of Hawkins ville, have killed eighteen otters in the past week. Their hides are worth from $3 to $5 each. Several new buildings for business pur poses, as well as residences, have been con tracted for at Apopka, and will be put under way at once. Associate Justice Van Valkenburgh, of the State Supremo Court, is quite ill, and his friends manifest considerable anyiety about his condition. S. J. Fleming, a highly esteemed citizen of I.eon county, attempted to get in his wagon Sunday, when his foot slipped and he fell and broke his log. Secretary Lamar has recommended that suit lie instituted for the unlawful cutting of timlier from public lands against Isaac Eppinger and John K. Russell, of Olustee. Bangs & Gaynor have finished their con tract on the jetties at the mouth of the St. John's river, and will soon remove their plant to Norfolk, Va., where they have a contract. At Crawford, a station on the Florida Railway and Navigation Company, four miles south of Callahan, about 8 o’clock Sunday night a car containing eighteen bales of cotton was burned. At 5 o’clock Sunday eveninga small house, used as a camp by the hands working at the steam shovel, about one mile from Hedger, on the Florida Railway and Navigation road was burned to the gronud. B. F. Vanmeter, of Orange, Tex., has purchased through Page McKinney the Til den Grove, at Apopka, paying $5,700. This tract is within the city limits, and comprises several valuable town lots, and is a beautiful place. The Florida Wine Factory, at Apopka is now In full operation, and the luscious juice of thousands of oranges is being daily pressed out. The works present a busy and “sticky” scene. This company will pay out through the Bank of Apopka several thou sands of dollars for fruit, labor, etc., all of which sum will be kept at home. Peru is a little village fifteen miles south east of Tampa, on the Alatia river, a stream navigable to that place by boats of good size and tonnage. It has three stores, a post office, a good school with an average attend ance of thirty pupils. The streets have been crowded for the past few days with teams from the country bringing to market oranges and farm productions in abundance. Saturday the Peru Orange Company bought, about 30,000 oranges. At Montieello Sunday, a few minutes be fore his departure for Washington, several of his worm personal friends assembled in the ClerkVoffico, W. A. W. Simmons, hav ing secured an extra supply of “Mumm,” aud drank feeling toasts iu farewell to Sen ator Samuel Pasco. The latter’s response THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1887. I was tender and sympathetic, recalling asso | oiations of thirty years, which were now to be temporarily severed. Col. R. C. Parkhill j also proposed an appropriate sentiment. PURSUED BY PIRATES. Reminiscences of the Early Days of St. Augustine. From the Pnlatka (Fla.) Xews. B. Oliveros, father of the efficient County Clerk, is 88 years old, and is as vigorous as are most men at SO. His mind is equally j well preserved and he delights to tell of the rough experience of his life in the long, long ago. Mr. Oliveros is a fluent talker and the reporter could never tire of listen ing to his vivid descriptions of the ups and , downs of his boyhood days. In the year 1821 Mr. Oliveros was a sailor between this port and Cuba. On one of his outward trips during that year his vessel was captured by the Barbaretta, a pirate ship, and the Captain and crew of the mer chantman .were put in irons and subjected to the most cruel treatment at the hands of the pirates. The object of the pirates was of course plunder, and they demanded gold, which they knew must be aboard our hero’s ship, but the crew were obstinate, and re fused to divulge the hiding place of the coveted treasure. The pirates for some reason did not put youug Oliveros in irons with his companions, but it seems that they j expected to find out from him where the I money was concealed, but in this they were i disappointed. After using all kinds of threats and abuse j to extort, from the Captain, the where abouts of the precious metal and having failod, they threatened to hang the entire crew, and were getting ready to put their threat into execution when young Oliveros came on deck to remonstrate with them against committing such an act when he was struck on the head and felled to the deck. The pirates concluded to make one more search for the gold, and while they were en gaged in the search our hero regained con sciousness and went to where the money was, and had just reached the deck when he heard the freebooters returning from an other portion of the ship. Oliveros knew that if they saw the money they would take it from him, and looked hurriedly around for some place to conceal it, and espying a large water cask he rushed up to it and threw the money into the bung hole. The pirates angrily demanded of the obstinate young man to tell them where the money was for the second time, but he was immovable. Thev then held a consultation and decided to ta£e the captain and crew onto their own ship, and set young Oliveros and a small cabin ooy adrift in their vessel, which they did. The pirate ship then put out to sea, leaving our hero to the mercy of wind and wave. Tho gallant young Spaniard, with the aid of the boy, set about devising means of reaching the land. Afrer being tossed upon the billowy deep for two entire days, almost starving, they succeeded in reaching St. Augustine. Those of our readers who read in cheap periodicals accounts of the daring deeds of murder and plunder upon the high sea* by pirates, can hardly realize that we have living right here in our midst a man, hale and hearty, who has had the misfortune to fall into the hands of genuine pirates, but such is the fact, and every word of the above narrative can be vouched for by a most honorable gentleman living in our city to-day, and that man is Bartolo Oliveros. The old gentleman is in excellent health, and we wish for his children, grandchildren and great-grand children that his life may yet be prolonged to delight them, as they are wont to gather around him, with true stories of the long ago, when he was a boy. MR. DISSTON’A RETURN From a Trip Over the Scene of His Sugar Operations From the Jacksonville (Fla.) Times-Union. Mr. Hamilton Disston and Mr. John L. Hill returned yesterday from their trip to Floradelphia and Runnymede, the two new towns which have been started in the re claimed lands district. Mr. Disston is well known as the Philadelphia millionaire who has spent considerably over $1,000,000 in Florida investments. One of the late investments in which Mr. Disston is interested is a plant for manufac turing the cane into refined sugar. This is being done on a large scale. A representa tive of the Times- Union called upon him yesterday afternoon, and gained some in formation regarding the mill aud the inten tions of its owners. The mill is complete in every particular, and will take the crude cane and, before it has been turned out in marketable form, it will lie transformed into granulated sugar equal to any made. It will have a capacity of seventy tons per day. The plantation on which the mill is situ ated had about 100 acres in cane this year. All except sixty acres will be used for planting the next season’s crop. These acres will be allowed to ratoon next year, and 100 acres in addition have been planted. They expect to have about 500 acres in cane for the next season’s crop. Mr. Disston, in speaking of the sixty acres which will be left after the planting is done, and which will lie ground more as an exper iment and to see how the machinery works, gave the following figures: An acre of ground will produce about forty tons of cane, which will average 150 pounds of su gar to the ton. This would make 6,000 pounds of sugar to each acre, or 300,000 pounds of sugar for the sixty acres. It is estimated that the mili can handle the growth of from 800 to 1,000 acres. Capt. R. E. Rose has supervision of the entire operation, the erection of the ma chinery being under charge of Mr. Henry G. Morris, of Philadelphia. For the practi cal working, Mr. Hazard, a man of large experience in the sugar mills of Cuba, will have charge. Regarding the drainage operations and the reclaimed lands, which Mr. Disston visited while absent, he spoke as follows: “We visited the several lakes and canals at the head of our drainage system. The surfaue of tho lakes have been maintained at a low level during the past season, and none of the reclaimed lands have suffered from overflow during the rainy season just past. We are just completing a canal from Lake Ilatchneh t into Lake Kissimmee, hav ing already reached tho sand ridge on the northwest margin of the lake. This canal will aid to rapidly carry off the rainfall, and will provide a direct route from Floradel phia to Kissimmee City aud Runnymede. We are gradually moving the b ase of our operations southward, and will soon estab lish a shipyard for building our dredges at Floradelphia. “Our operations in the vicinity of lake Okeechobee are being steadily pushed for ward. One of the dredges is engaged in cutting a canal, leading from the lake to ward the head of Shark river on the Gulf coast. We will soon put another boat into service there, which at one operation will complete a canal 60 feet wide. Our engi neer, during the past summer, has had a series of surveys made, under which it has been established that a perfectly feasible line for a drainage canal exists in that re gion, and that no insurmountable obstacles exist in-eventing its construction. “This work is being prosecuted on a line we have long since determined upon; it will hold Lake Okeechobee, which is the groat natural reservoir for impounding the storm waters, at a reduced level and re claim several hundred thousands of acres of rich bordering land in addition to those al ready improved by our operations. This canal will be constructed of sufficient width and depth to fully attain the desired end, and I am pleased to say is directly in the line with the recommendations made by the St te agents, who some time since visited our operations.” Phillips’ Digestible Cocoa Unlike other cocoas and chocolates, it is not greasy, and though containing allthe nutriment of the richest cocoa bean, it is so prepared that it will not disturb digestion and make a delicious table drink.

Early this Spring I was induced to try Simmons Liver Regulator, and have had more real good health than fof years before.
