Wooley’s residence, two and a half miles from Kingston, Wednes day night, Elisha Haynes was accidentally shot through the head and killed by Feaster Woolley, Jr., son of Capt. A. F. Woolley, while they were handling a pistol. There will lx? several hundred acres planted in fruit trees this whiter within a radius of a few miles of Marshallville.

Mulligan, proprietor of the Atlanta House, Np. 77 De catur street, died from the effects of blood poisoning in his foot. A few days ago Mr. Mulligan goot one of his feet hurt by a piece of timber falling on it. A portion ol the foot was amputated, but blood poisoning set in and caused his death. The most important business at the ex ecutive office now is the payment of the al lowance granted by the lute Legislature to disabled Confederate veterans. Up to date the number of applicants is 101). Capt. Harrison, who is in charge of the work, es timates the number who will probably ap ply at 1,500, and puts the cost at 840,000. Gainesville Eagle: Young James Ixmg street writes from Washington that he has had the honor to dine en famille with the Secretary of the Interior. He does not seem to think that tlie Secretary was in his gayest mood, though his talk with him was to a point, and of just nine words, viz: “ What part of the turkey will you have. Jim.” J There were shipped from Marshallville last week more than 50.000 fruit trees from S. H. Rumph’s nursery, over 2,500 pounds °f plant and okra seed, grown by Louis A. Humph, and more than 20,000 gallons of cider from the Marahallville Cider Com pany. In addition many barrels of apples and crates of radishes were seut forward to fill orders. The liquor men of Oglethorpe county are mad. A few' weeks ago they went quietly to wor k and got up a petition to have anew election on prohibition. They left the peti tion in a Lexington store to get a few more names, when some unknown person or per sons, said to here! hot Prohibitionists, cap tured and destroyed said petition. There is no clue to the perpetrator, and to make the matter worse, It. is said that the Antis have been told that they will be indicted if they sign another petition on the same subject Oglethorpe will doubtless soon have ariother vote on the liquor question. At Marietta an important decision was rendered Wednesday night by Judge J. R Brown. When A. A. Fletcher & Cos. ,of that place, failed three weeks ugo, they were owing the Atlanta National Bank 812, 000, drawn out lie tween Nov. 1 and date of failure. The bank was entirely un secured. G. C. Bitmap, of Marietta, and the Merchants’ Bank of Atlanta, held liens covering the entire property of the firm The Atlanta National Bank filed a bill ask ing a receiver, attacking the lien. Judge Brown passed an order refusing the receiver and dissolving the injunction. At Athens a few nights ago John Cohen a retired capitalist, was standing on Thomas street, at the rear entrance of the Deupre Opera House, when some unknown person violently hurled a stone at him, striking Mr. Cohen on the back of the head and knocking him senseless. In falling, he struck agaiust a wall, receiving another severe wound in the head. Mr. Cohen is able to bo on the street, but he is still suffer ing great pain, and is threatened with paralysis Of the spine from his injuries. He nas no idea who his assailant is, and knows of no enemy with a deadly spite against him At Macon Thursday Judge Speer sent an order to Jailer Birdsong asking that he re lease all United States prisoners confined in the Bibb county jail. In compliance with this order eight prisoners wei-o sot at liberty, much to their own gratification. The pris oners were in for various offenses against the internal revenue laws. The cause of Judge Speer’s action was the fact that Jailer Birdsong complained that ther# were not blankets furnished sufficient to make the men comfortable. Mr. Birdsong says that he applied to the United States Court au thorities for the necessary supplies, and that ©uly six pairs of blankets were sent, and that he could not afford to use the county blankets for United States prisoners, anil that they were suffering. At Macon the United States Court has been occupied in trying the case of John T. Johnson vs. The Western Union Telegraph Company. The suit for damages was based on the allegation that the company failed to deliver a telegram sent to Johnson from a commission house in Omaha, July 10, 1887. Johnson claimed to •have had a carload, of melons ready for shipment to the firm, and awaiting advices from them he called several times at the office, and was told that there was no dispatch for him. After it was too late to send them he received the dispatch. He was granted damages in the sum of 875 The case will be amiealed. The defense claimed that Mr. Johnson failed to give them his address, and that every effort was made, by one of their most trusted messen gers, to find Johnson when the dispatch came. One of the most interest ing episodes at the hachelors’ banquet at Gainesville last Thursday night was the receipt of a box sent in by one of Gainesville's most culti vated and brilliant young ladies. It con tained a sheet of white paper, on which was placed the following articles: First, a hand somely embroidered crimson satin satchel, containing a few matches, with the motto: “A better match than you have male.” Next, the picture of an owl, sitting on a holly bush, motto; “You are alone in the world.” Last, a beautiful brier wood pipe, to the stem of which was tied an elegantly embroidered tobacco pouch, made or magenta colored satin; under these was written: “Bulwer has said ‘there is more solid comfort in a good pipe than in a g, od wife,’ and you all appeal- to agree witit him.” When this was passed around for the inspection of the boys, everyone pronounced it tne best hit that nad been given them. Americus Recorder'. The beginning of the end of one of the saddest casses ever known in Americus occurred here Thursday after noon. We refer to the sending of Mr. and Mrs. S. 8. Sullivan to the insane asylum. Only a few years ago 8. 8. Sullivan was one of the staid, reliable business men of Americus. He occupied a responsible and lucrative position in a large establishment, had been there for many years, and was respected and esteemed for his integrity and moral worth. The passion for drink was his downfall. He grew to neglecting his business until his employer, after giving him month after month of trial, finally dis charged him. A short time afterward he was taken ill, and for a long time lay be tween life and death. He finally partially recovered, but he was so weak that be was unable to fully do what was given him. From one source to another his wife and i children were driven in poverty, until ; finally, it seems, in pity for the poor unfor tunates. their minds gave way, and only a I lew days ago a jury was impaneled to see if they vtereof sound mind. They were both | adjudged insane, and Thursday afternoon, under the care of Dr. 0. A. Brooks, were taken to the depot and sent to Milledgeville. Amanda Rowland, ft young colored woman, was luuded in jail at*Cartersville, Monday, on a charge of assault with intent In kill.’ Last .Saturday morning Amanda went to the residence of J. H. Ferguson, near Taylorsville, and started to do her week’s washing, using water from Mr. Fer guson’s well. Mr. Ferguson denied her this privilege, as the well was nearly dry and no water could be spared. Upon this refusal Amanda liecanie mad and very insulting, hurling the worst kind of epithet* at Mr. Ferguson, in presence of that gentleman’s family. He commanded the woman to desist, but the command was not obeyed. She finally desisted, but left swearing vengeance, saying thntshe would soon walk over Mr. Ferguson’s grave. Nothing wax thought, of her threats until Sundny night, when Mrs. Ferguson, her eldest daughter, and Mr. Warren Gaston, who happened to bo visiting there at the time, suddenly became very ill. A physician win called in, who instantly stated that they hail been poisoned with strychnine. The bucket of water on the rear portico looked peculiar, and as the three sick ones were the only persons that had partaken of it, upon investigation tracks corresponding to a woman’s shoe were found near the bucket and Amanda was at ouee suspected. Bhe was carried before Justice Colbert where sufficient evidence was adduced to warrant her re moval to the county jail to await a hearing before Judge Fain. The woman is only 2. years of age, married, and has three chil dren. At last accounts the poisoned people wore up and out of danger. Now that prohibition has been defeated, nnd the sale of liquor in Atlanta made legal, there is much speculation as to what will be the license. The wine room men, and others who will desire to go into the business, are inclined to the opinion that it would bn un wise to ask the present Council to fix the amount of the license, as a majority of them are Prohibitionists, and in voting will go to tne limit, as the next best thing to cut down the sale. It is reported on the streets to-day that at the next meeting*..f Council, which will lie held on Monday, a number of ordi nances will lie introduced regulating the sale of liquor. The t llowing is the complexion of the City Council on the license question: Alderman Hemphill is lor as high a license as the law allows. Alderman John Gram ling, who is in Boston, is for 81,000 lieenso and restriction. Alderman Dorsey is for at, l ast 81,500 license. Alderman Collier and Councilman Mitchell favor a 82,000 license. Councilman Green is for $1,500 license. Alderman Mecaslin is a high license man. Councilman Angier is for 81,500 lieenso. Councilman Tanner is for 81,000 license. Councilmen Rov, Bell, Boynton, Nelson. Kinyon and it ice are Prohibitionists, Councilmen Beutall aud Allen are wet mat This list makes three pronounced for 82,000 license, four for $1,500 license, and six prohibitionists who, though their views are not announced, can probably be count ed on to vote for $1,500 license. Two are in favor of SI,OOO license, and two are very wet. Altogether, it seems probable that a $1 ,500 license will get from ten to thirteen votes on noxt Monday, and it seems pretty certain that, at least until the new Council men and Aldermen go in, $1,500 will be the figure. If all six of the Prohibitionists should vote for a $2,000 license, there would be a majority of one for that figure, but it is by no means sure that all the Prohibition ists will vote that way. At Atlanta, Thursday memorial services were held at the headquarters of the Pro hibition party on Hunter street, over the remains of Cnarnell Hightower, a member of the Young Men’s Prohibition Club, who died at St. George Hotel Wednesday morn ing from the effects of a blow on the head with a rook, thrown by some unknown per son. The hall was comfortably filled with leading members of the Prohibition party of this city. It was draped in mourning, and on either side of the stand banners stood against, the wall draped with crape. In front of tho stand were the remains incased in a handsome casket, which was covered with floral tributes. On the stand were the Revs. H. C. Mor rison, J. B. Hawthorne, J. W. Lee, N. Kiff Smith and Rev. Mr. Ellis. In the back ground of tho rostrum was a blackboard, upon which the following words ware in scribed: “In Memoriam. Died With His Armor On. At Rest.” Dr. Morrison con ducted the exercises, assisted by the other members of the ministry who were with him on tho stage. They were opened with sing ing. followed with 'prayer by Rev. Virgil N(across, who, in speaking of tho deceased, said that he belonged to tho gallant baud who had fought for tho cause of temper ance, and had given up his life for the cause he advocated. Dr. Morrison delivered an address, in which he said that the deceased was - ‘a martyr, who died for his convictions," and he “wanted the mem bers of the club and their co-workers to pay special thought to the deceased and the cause of his death. The deceased had lieen true to his convictions, and his devotion to that trust was the cause of his death. Lot us, while we look upon the dust of our fallen brother, pledge ourselves to eternal vigilance and eternal war upon tile great curse of ruin-selling. This is but the first sheep. This is tho first offering of the many that will follow in tho future of At lanta, wreathed in blood. Atlanta has boon baptized, at the opening of her victory, Into her new relations with his blood. With this prospect liefore us we can but look to to the future with grave feelings." When tho exercises had lieen concluded tho re mains were escorted to tlie depot by the Young Men’s Prohibition Club, beaded by a brass band. The body was shipped to Perrv for burial. Elbert Ware (colored) has been arrested on suspicion of being Hightower’s murderer. FLORIDA. Lake Apopka is fairly swarming with wild ducks. Tho Dougherty House, at New Smyrna, is finished.

Gainesville Record: J. R. Mclrvin re turned from liis trip to Nicaragua on Tues day last. In a conversation with him he remarked that lie saw some good things in that country, and found rich land adapted to tlie raising of fruits and other tilings, but he prefers Florida. He reports the people that went from here as doing well. The thermometer does not run as high there as it does here. He enjoyed the trip well. Two prominent Tallahasseeans went down on the Gulf coast last Saturday on a big hunt and fish. Late the following Sunday evening they started to go across to a camp that they had left on an opposite point, when the tide relentlessly left them strand ed on a marsh, whore wading was not at all good. There they sat the live long night in an open boat like two lonely sandpipers on a deserted sandbar, with the wind blowing a Dakota blizzard and the thermometer 20’ lower than it had lieen in Florida this win ter. • Tallahassee TaUahaa.ieean: It is a very noticeable fact that the colored people of this county are spending less of their earn ings this season than ever before. A man with a large family, who has heretofore spent all he made ana a little more, came to town last week, sold his cotton, paid up his store account, and then had one of our mer chants to count out for him, what was due his landlord on rents. ('arefully placing the rent money in his vest pockets ready to hand to his landlord on returning home, ho re quested the merchant to count out the bal ance for him. There was a few dollars over $BOO when counted. He took the $BOO across the street and de posited it with 11. C. Lewis & Sons, hankers, came back, thanked the merchant for his kindness, purchased a few articles of winter clothing for his family with his remaining odd dollars, and still lmd a few left when he started for home. Many of the colored people of this county are doing the same thing. A spirit of frugality and economy heretofore almost unknown among them seems of late to have come over them. Many of them are now buying and paying for the homes that they have rented for years. Comparatively few are spending money for anything except the necessiti.s of life. The case of the State of Florida vs. Cook was called at Enterprise, the county sear, of Volusia, Tuesday, and the entire day was taken up in picking a jury. Judge Beggs, the State's Attorney, represented the State, and Mnj. St. Clair Abrams was counsel for the defendant. Up to 2 o’clock on Wednes day only two jurors had been impaneled, and after the recess of the court for dinner, the State’s Attorney filed an affidavit by the widow of tloyt, the murdered man, that one of the jurors, named Wryan, n>;d expressed an opinion to her that Cook was crazy, whereupon Judge Beggs made a motion to the court to have him removed from the jury. Upon the ap plication of Maj. Abrams the court was cleared while the motion was being argued, but ultimately Judge Broome denied the motion. The whole of Wednesday was oc cupied in getting a jury, and up to 1 o'clock p. in., only six jurors had boon impaneled after exhausting the regular venire of eighteen and a special one of 100 names drawn from the box. The difficulty apjx'ars to be that the main defense will lie temporary insanity, produced by excessive use of intoxicating liquors, rendering the defendant (Cook) unable to distinguish right from wrong at the time of the commission of the deed. The defense rejects all who would make no distinction as to the cause of the insanity, if insanity is proven. The court ordered another venire, returnable Friday at 11 a. m., to which time it adjourned. A Detroit, Mich., special to the Jackson ville Times- 1 nioii says: Senator Jones said this evening that he would leave Detroit within a year for his home in Florida, and that he proposed entering the contest for the United States Senatorship from that State, and would be elected. In the mean time, he said, that his sons and friends might profitably employ their time minding their own business. Tho ad vice of friends to his son is so con flicting that he doe* not know how to act, and so has taken no steps to better his father’s condition. This many-sided advice comes by telegraph, mail and in person. The sad and annoying vicissitudes that are mark ing this particular era of Senator Jones’ life are occasionally relieved by a flash of humor. Yesterday he received u letter which illustrates the close kinship of sympa thy and the tender passion. It was written by the main pillar of a woman’s home in Illinois. She hud heard of Senator Jones. The story of his troubles had wrung her susceptible soul. His marked ability had long been the objects of her admiration. Her heart went out to him in the days of his affliction. Then came tho evidence of the noble self sacriilee, of which woman alone ii capable. She did not suggest herself as an ever ready comforter in the midst of the Senators troubles, but she had u friend. This friend was wealthy. Her abundance of this world’s goods was amply sufficient to smooth tho pathway of the dei>osed Senator during the rest Of his ulloted time. She would lie delighted should the Senator open a corres pondence with her. There the modest sug gestion ended. The Senator refuses to re veal the name of his kind friend, but inti mates jocularly, that he may visit Illinois shortly. Only One. There is but one SOZODONT. It has no counterpart.
