It Is said that Russell made a speech Monday to a negro meeting, in the interest of E. H. Dorsey, for Mayor, in which he made some very grave and seri ous charges against A. Hodgson, the in cumbent. it was reported to Chief Oliver, that he (Russell) accused him of ordering the trash-cart driver to bury a negro baby in a cheese box. Oliver asked Russell about it, which statement that gen tleinan denied, but wound up by saying that Cant. Oliver could not bulldoze him with his stripes. Oliver stated that if Russell meant to say that, ho would use his office to bulldoze him, that he fil'd. Quite a war of words ensued, whets friends Interfered and the belligerents Vere parted. This is Capt. Oliver’s statement. Mayor Hodgson’s friends say that he will certainly notice tho attack Mr. Russell made upon him.

At Gainesville, the Alachua county Cir cuit Court convened Tuesday, Judge Finley presiding, and was opened with prayer by Rev. A. B. Curry. I'he charge of Judge Finley to the grand jury is the subject of universal commendation. On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday last Daytona was favored with a northeast gale and consequent high tides.

The proprie tors will at once rebuild their mill on the same ground. Tourist travel is steadily increasing, and every incoming train and steamer brings large numbers, anxious to exchange the frozenjNorth for sunny Florida.

The building of the north jetty at tho mouth of tho St. John’s river has so changed the course of the current of the river as to cause the sen to make very serious and damaging encroachments along the water front of Pilot Town and Fort George Island.

Gilbert, Spicer Houston and John Stewart were in Jackson ville on Tuesday for the purpose of consult ing with H. Bisbee, Jr., and have him pre pare a memorial to Congress praying for ro- Barbers’ Tongues. From the Milledgeville (Ga.) Chronicle. It is rare to find a good barber who hasn’t a tongue as long ns his razor strap, anil kept about as busy. It is a great bore to a man who likes a quiet shave or restful liair-cut to have his barber Hooding his ears and nose with anything but an odor from “Arnby the blest.” Such a man don’t come to talk, he comes to be served aud lie com fortable. The best barber the writer ever knew was a colored man and lived in this city all his life. His name was Robert Bet ton, but as “Bob the Barber,” he was known from Chatham to Dade, and universally respected. He had the good sense to keep his tongue in its proper place. He was polite as a French man, and would talk freely whenever a gentleman asked Jiim a question, or engaged him in conversation. He knew all the tug men in Georgia, from Troup to Howell Cobb, and keeping the only restaurant for years in the city, during the ses sions of the Legislature, ho knew more about the private habits of the Solons of the State than any other man in the city. No matter what time of night they came in from tho faro tables, or committee rooms, or caucuses, “Bob” was on hand, and could get up a midnight sup per with great celerity and in the best style of the cooking art. Judge Charlton once told “Bob” that, “if be lual his exfienence and private knowledge of men in the Legis lature, he could win the race for United States Senator without rider, sadd'e or bridle ” Yes, it’s good for a barber to know when to hold his tongue and when to let, it loose. Pei fection is attained in Dr. Sage’s Ca tarrh Remedy. THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY. DECEMBER 8, 1887. BLOODIEST OF THE WAR. Recalling the Terrible Battle at Frank lin. From the Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle. Just twenty-three years ago Wednesday the bloodiest battle of the war between the Stales was fought. At 3 o’clock on that day the Confederates tinder the comand of Gen. Hood, attacked the Federal*, under Major- General Schofield, at Franklin, Tenn. The Federal* were entrenched at Franklin, on tho Harpeth river, and wero attacked by Gen. Hood, with 15,000 infantry. The Con federates were unable to use any artillery, but the Federal* utilized theirs to advantage from behind their entrenchments, and from across the Harpeth. Until night the battle was fiercely waged, tho field being literally strewn with Confederate dead. But the boys in gray finally conquered the foe and tho Federal* wero pursued eighteen miles to Nashville. While the Confederates were successful in this battle, it resulted in the complete dis organization of tho army of Tennessee. Five brigadiers were killed, and eight wounded. Among those Generals killed was the gallant Irish Confederate Gen. Pat Cle burne, the “Stonewall” Jackson of the army of Tennessee; Gen. State's Rights Gist, of South Carolina; John Adams of Mississippi; Schoup, of Indiana, and Gen. Palmer, of Burke county, Ga. The whole battle was fought in the space of onequartor of a mile, and was without doubt the very bloodiest of the civil war. The Confederate loss was 5,500 killed and wounded, being over one third of the forces engaged. _Weilnesday many in Augusta recalled this terrible fight. Veterans spoke of its trials and tho bravery of tho officers and soldiers engaged, and waxed eloquent in narrating courageous deeds, thrilling en counters and harrowing incidents. Tho Jones-Owens Incident. Jacksonville, Fla., Dec. s .—Editor Morning News: Your telegram from this place, published Sunday, giving an account of an incident in the conference meeting Saturday, was in some particulars incorrect. The following is a correct account as given by Mr. B. H. Hopkins, an eye witness, whicli has not been disputed here even by Mr. Jones’bitterest enemies: “I was present and saw and heard it all, and a more astonishing performance never came under my notice. The facts are these: Mr. Jones was in tho chair, presiding tem porarily over the meeting. In the course of some remarks, in response to an inquiry by Mr. Owens, he said that the present citizens’ movement was an attempt to begin anew and take up the work in which the previous conference committees had failed. Mr. Owens said that those he represented pro posed to go right on and hold an election, and therefore he and Ills associates (Mr. H. A. L’Engle and Mr. J. M. Barrs) were out of place in this meeting. “Addressing Mr. Jones, as I thought joc ularly, he said: '[move that I adjourn;’ at the samo time moving toward the door. Mr. Jones said, also jocularly: ‘I second tho motion.’ Then Mr. Owens turned to Mr. Jones, poured out a torrent of abusive language, and declared he was going to thrash him.” “Mr. Jones kept his temper and self-con trol, and simply said as Mr. Owens and his associates continued toward the door: ‘Those are the sort of gentlemen who pro pose to run the city of Jacksonville.’ “These are the facts of the case, as I re call them. It was a painful scene, aud every one present condemned aud regretted it.” Mr. Jones’ conduct throughout the whole affair was dignified, and is commended by almost every good citizen. Justice. A Sensation Spoiled. From, the Americus (Ga ) Republican. It was whispered around by the colored people, that one of their race, a woman whose husband had been hung or accident ally beheaded, was a veritable witch of Endor. She could he beard at all times talking to somo one, and getting replies, but no one could ever be found where she was. And then it was told by the darkies, whose wide stretched eyes were white with fright, that she could call her husband from the grave at any time: and he would go to her always headless. liis shadowy form would rise up from the grave, climb tho fence and walk to tho house, pass in and take the chil dren up in his arms and toss them up and down over the place where his head ought to be. It seemed like the negroes believed the story, got it circulated pretty freely, and there were some who had seen the headless body pass into the house through the key hole when his wife called him from the grave. Monday night some ten or twelve white boys who had heard the reports of the col ored boys, decided to investigate the affair and they went out inabody to McKay’s hill, found the house, knocked at the door and then huddled together in a corner for the old witch to open to them. When she saw the boys in a huddle she said: “Wha yer doin dar, and what yer want.” One of them said they Had come to see the ghost she could call from the grave. At this the old woman got mad ana said 1 ‘dat is a lie. I ain't nebber seed my ole man since he died, an if you poor white tieving trash don jis git outen boor I’ll show you dedebbleandat d— quick. It am a shame data poor ol widder can’t live in peace, an so vou git out ob heer quick, or I’ll start de (febble arter yer sure, and stooping to pick up a stick, the boys lit out for town in race horse style. The ghost story busted. What Most Interested the Editor. From the Columbia (Ga.) Sentinel. In response to inclination and invitation we attended the dance given at the resi dence of G. B. Magrudor on Friday even ing of last weok. The weather was bitter cold. Still it did not deter the young peo ple who.knew what was in store for them. The anticipation overbalanced the discom forts connected with a long drive. At an earlv hour the spacious parlors were iilled to their utmost ca pacity with the bajffes and beaux of Columbia and adjoining counties, and soon in clarion tones “partners for a quadrille” announced that the time for tho maze dance to begin was at band, and it was kept up until the “wee sma’ hours.” The most interesting part of the programme was rendered about 10:30, when the dining room, brilliantly lighted, was thrown open and all invited to partake of the bountiful spread. A Roundabout Way to the Window. From tire. Forsyth (Ga.) Advertiser. While we would not encroach upon tho legal liberties of our juvenile population, nor deprive them of harmless pleasure ami innocent sports, yet we would remind them, once again, that, in our judgment, the “Alabama sling” is not always a safe weapon in their hands when used by them in a city, and especially upon the "public thoroughfares. We would also remind them of tiie fact that the sling, when deftly used by them, will project a buckshot through the flue leaves or tho cedars in a citizen’s front yard with sufficient force to break the light in his front window if struck. My little friends, when, in order to bring down, you are drawing a bead on a little bird, bo sure that ho is not on a line with someone’s window. Editors In a Rogue's Gallery. From the Griffin. (Ga.) Sun. If tho newspapers were to organize some thing on the order of a rogue's gallery, and put the names of all papers which appro priate tho articles of other papers without giving the proper credit, the names of some of the most prominent, pajiers in Georgia would soon be placed before the jieople. It is a very easy and simple thing to add the name of the paper and give the poor editor and reporter the credit, for some of them get such little pay, they really work for the “glory” and then do not get It.
