6 GEORGIA AND FLORIDA. NEWS OF THE TWO STATES TOLD IN PARAGRAPHS. A Lady Run Over by a Runaway Team at Gainesville and Danger ously Injured—Result of the Munici pal Elections at Athens and Forsyth —A Steamer Sunk at Bainbridge. GEORGIA. Athens lias received nearly 70,000 bales of cotton up to date. The Macon Volunteers have added a club feature to their organization. The committee has raised nearly ♦1.500 for the Young Men’s Christian Association of Rome. Adjutant and Inspector General Kell yes terday shipped ammunition to the Fort Gaines Guards, and received the guns lie longing to tho Cave Springs Guards, dis banded. At Forsyth Wednesday m the city election George T. Brown was elected Mayor: J. A. Banks, W. E. Sanders and J. A. Huddle ston Aiders'. ML It is another indorsement for prohibition. In the cocking main at Fort Gaines, Grist was victorious. His Shawlnecks won the main. Out of the twenty-one cocks, only sixteen could be matched. Grist wou nine out of fourteen. A countryman who was in Griffin Wednesday proceeded to load up with bad whisky and late in the afternoon created a little excitement by driving down Solomon street and firing his pistol as ho went. Near Sugar Valley Mr. Finch has been catching some very fine beavers in his steel traps. He brought a large one iu on last Saturday, and it attracted almost as much a crowd as Barnum’s show would have dono. He has lost several nice beavers by the springs of his traps breaking. Rev. Dr. D. L. Buttolph has tendered his resignation as pastor of the lYesbyterian Church at Marietta. Last Sunday was tho twentieth anniversary of his ministry in Marietta, and his farewell sermon, to the congregation he has served so long and faithfully, was a most affecting one. At Augusta a gang of fifteen or twenty small negro bootblacks Wednesday night made a raid upon the store of Joan Irb, on the corner of Campbell and Ellis streets, and succeeded in making off with about 100 oranges. A policeman was near at the time and gave chase to the boys, but he did uot succeed in capturing a singlo one. Macon Telegraph: The water works plant in Thoniasville, where the unfortunate acci dent occurred on Tuesday, was planned by Mr. A. E. Boantman, of Macon. The Thoniasville Company wanted the middle pier under the tower, and Mr. Board man objected and would not, have it in his plans. The pier was put In, anyhow, and the conse quence has been a fearful one. The steamer Ada sank in the Flint river, off the Bainbridge landing, Tuesday after noon. Last week she ran into some barges and stove a hole in her hull, but the damage was temporarily repaired, and the trip made to Bainbridge. arriving at which port she sank. She is lying off the landing with her cabins under water. The lioat w tho property of tho Albany Ktoanilioat and Navigation Company, and cost $3,500. There was no insurance upon her. At Lexington excitement was caused by a report that the new court house was rent in twain from top to bottom, and was in danger of falling down. An investigation proved that the story originated from the fact that a small crack appeared in the building where the large arch is, but it does not seem to broaden. While this building doubtless cost its full worth, and there is serious complaint against tho contractor, the people are very proud of it, and would not to-day vote to demolish it for all that it will cost them. Marietta Journal: The North Georgia Conference has grown to such an immense size that anew apportionment should he made and anew conference created, 1 1 be called the Middle Georgia Conference, thus having three territorial conferences in the State. The body is getting so large as to be unwieldy and of a difficult matter to be provided for in a small town. This matter should receive the serious consideration of the body in session here this week, and steps taken to bring about this needed revision ■nd division of the South and North Georgia Conferences. At Gainesville Wednesday a two-horse team hitched to a wagon laden with cotton seed became frightened and dashed off at full speed. A Mrs. Wolford, from the country, was just crossing the public square, and before she was aware of it the team was on her. Tho tongue of the wagon struck her in the side, knocking her down. The horses and wagon then ran over her, leaving her senseless on the ground. There are no external wounds except a cut above the eye, and that slight. Her injuries are all internal, and indications now’ point to fatal results. Wednesday night she was still unconscious. At a fair near Fort Lamar, Morgan county, a few nights ago the negroes got too much tanglefoot, and, as usual at a holiday supper, got into a general row. Jim Bond had stolen a razor and borrowed a shoe knife which he had not returned, and with one of these weapons cut Jim Gunnels (colored) from near the shoulder-blade di agonally across his back to his' hip. Dr. Goss sewed him up, using sixteen stitches. Will Gunnels cut John Wooten nearly half in two just above the waist in front. Dr. Goss sewed him up with thirteen stitches one inch apart. Wooten will probably die, but it is thought that Gunnels will get well. At Athens the municipal election came off Wednesday after much wirepulling, caucus meeting, etc. Mayor A. H. Hodgson was re-elected. His opponents were E. H. Dor sey and V. W. Skiff. McKennon was elected Alderman for the First ward. His opponents were Matthews and Mealor. For the Seoond ward, W. D. McDowell was elected over Dr. li. S. Lyndon. For the Third ward, W. D. Griffeth was elected without opposition. For the Fourth ward, Prof. D. C. Barrow, without opposition, Dr. J. G. Gerdine was elected on the Board of Education from the city at large. The colored voters of the city proved very true to the men whom they had promised to sup port. Monday night two tramp stopped at J. D. Briscoe's store, five miles from Home, and asked for a place to sleep. The gentle man had a tenement house standing vacant, and, being uitturally kind-hearted, he gave the trampers permission to lodge in that building. Some time later in the evening Mr. Briscoe passed by the building and dis covered that hts wayfaring lodgers were tearing up and burning the flooring. He stems*! in and remonstrated with them, telling them they must stop their vandal ism or get out, and during the night tho house was burned to the ground, presuma bly in revenge for the sharp talk of the owner, forgetting the kindness he had dis played in giving them free lodging. At Atlanta Wednesday the case of the Giles Lithographic Company vs. R. J. Lowry, Henry Porter and W. A. Taylor, a suit to set aside the sale made by Taylor of bis manufacturing business in perfumes and patent medioenes to Lowry & Porter, was concluded. Ho much of the suit as related to Lowry & Porter was set aside and a verdict wm> given against Taylor for $2,000. This is regarded as a settlement of the case. Mr. Taylor’s sale to Porter & lx)wry was shown by an abundance of evi dence to have been straight and honorable. Lowry & Porter had advanced him heavily, and when he was forced to suspend business he sold out to Lowry & Porter to secure them against their loans. The manufactur ing enterprise is now being operated by the purchasers, with Mr. Taylor as General Manager. Lucins Pitman and O. P. Hopkins, ex- Hheriff, seem to have had some trouble liefore, and on Saturday night mot at Widow Thurmond’s, in Jackson county, nt a party, where they got into a fight. Pit man was cut on the arm and his overcoat and clothes badly cut inside, but the skin was barely scratched. His thumb was knocked out of place and he says he did it knocking, and only fought fair. Hop kins was, however, cut by someone severe ly in several places on the head. His soil Dennie had a boor bottle broken over his head, which severely cut him. Dennis thought tho bursting of the bottle a report of u gun and cried out that he was shot. Nobody seems to know who threw tno (Kit tle or did tho cutting. Only one set was (lanced before the fight. Ho" the party was broken up early in tno night. The question is where did that beer bottle come from in a prohibition county. Pittman and Hop kins are both well-to-do inon and good citi zens. The applications for annuities to disabled soldiers continue to pour in, and Secretary Harrison contemplates using an electric mo tor to his right arm to keep up with the procession; In tho list of applications Wednesday were many cases of interest. Capt. John H. Baker, Company A. Thir teenth Georgia, Gordon’s brigade, nt Mon oeaey received a coutus -d wound of tht> left part of the abdomen, and at Malvern Hill had his left leg fractured bv a shell and the I tone of his left foot broken by a shot. Robert Hutchison, Thirty-fifth Georgia, Thomas’ brigade, in the battle of tho Wilderness had both eyes instantly destroyed by a single gun shot wound. David F. Goins, of the Fifty-fourth Georgia, at the battle of Ketinesaw, was shot in the palm of his hand, and his fingers are contracted toward tho palm, rendering tho hand useless. W. M. Tidd, of tho Second Geor gia, Toombs’s brigade, in tho battle at Gar nett’s farm, was shot in the right hip and ankle and in both arms; necrosis of the bones ensued from the wounds, and he can only walk by the aid of crutches and a stick. James 11. Pettigrew, of the Sixth G.orgia, in tho battle of Drewry’s bluff, received a wound in the sapor elavacular region, which injured tho nerves supplying the det toid and other muscles of the shoulder and arm, or in the language of Judge Nisbet, “wounded in the neck, paralyzing the left arm and hand, rendering the arm useless to perform Minimal labor.” Absalom Booth, of the Thirty-eighth Georgia, in the battle around Richmond was shot through the left hip, causing paralysis of the left leg and foot and in the right arm and shoulder. In tho case of J. B. Merck, of Hall county, vs. tho American Freehold Land Mortgage Company, of London. Chief Justice "Bleckley delivered the decision of the court Wednesday to the effect that the fees charged the borrower do not come under tho head of usury. Mr. Merck is a farmer in Hall county. Nelson & Barker, of Atlanta, were engaged in the business of finding men anxious to borrow money, and men willing to loan money. Mr. Latner represented Nelson & Barker in Gainesville. Mr. Merck appl e<l for a loan through I>at ner in writing, agreeing to my a commis sion of 20 per cent, for the loan of S4OO. Nelson & Barker sent tho application to the Corbin Banking Company, of New York, who presented it to J. K. U. Hherwood, sole agent in the tlnited States of the American Freehold Land Mortgage Company, of London, and ho agreed to loan the S4OO, which he did, his company advancing the full amount of the S4OO. Of the 20 per cent, commission, 10 per cent, was paid to the Corbin Banking Company, 6 per cent, to Nelson & Barker, and 4 per cent, to I .atner. Tho American Freehold Land Mortgage Comiwtnv, of Ixmdon, had no interest iu the compcnsa tion paid to the intermediaries. There was no connection between either cf the par ties. When the second interest note fell due and remained unpaid for thirty days, the American Freehold Land Mortgage Company instituted suit to recover the prin cipal, interest and attorney’s fees. The de fense set up the plea that the #BO commis sion, attorney's fees and interest on interest was usury, and also pleaded failure of con sideration. FLORIDA. Griffin & Kinder, of Windsor, are manu facturing (mils and tubs of cypress. Maj. Gardner, who has the contract for dredging reports the re moval of 6,312 cubic yards of dirt. At Apalachicola Mrs. P. Wise has taken charge of Public School No. 1. She is assisted by Misses Annis King and Estelle Marks. The St. Augustine Weekly suggests that Attorney General C. M. Cooper lie sent to Congress from that district at the next election. A colored man by the name of Moses got his arm broken in the sawdust conveyor at the Cypress Mill, at Apalachicola, a day or two ago. The Pensacola and Atlantic railroad re fuse to abide by the decision of the commis sion, and are still holding tickets and ship ping freight at the old rates. The store of A. B. Eferils at Leesburg was broken into Saturday night and quite a lot of goods stolen. As yet no clew has been obtained as to who was the thief. Capt. D. Hughes sold the Opera House at Bartow last week to Swearingen Brothers for th - sum of $5,000. and they in turn traded it to Milam & Parkor for their livery stable outfit. The printing board of the State Alliance, at their recent meeting, decided to order a cylinder press and more material to meet the demands for the circulation of the Florida Farmers' Alliance, published at Marianna. On Dec. 14, the annual Methodist Confer ence for the State will begin at Leesburg. The people of Leesburg have spared no pains in making arrangements to entertain the large number of preachers who will bo in attendance. At Cedar Keys Wednesday Mr. Crosswell and Will Cottrell were both shot. They were returning from a hunting expedition, when a gun fell from the buggy anil went off. Both are painfully, but not danger ously wounded. At St. Augustine Edward Davis stole from E. D. Cherry one gold watch and chain, value $65; sll6 35 in currency, one pistol, one razor, etc. He skipped for South Flor ida with his booty on Nov. 16. A warrant was out for his arrest, and he is now in the custody of Sheriff Holland, of Duval coun ty- The Mayor of Leesburg has issued a proclamation urging the necessity of every one being extremely cautious with regard to fire, on account of the inflammable sub stance of most of the buildings there. The Tow’n Council passed an ordinance Tuesday night prohibiting tho erection of all build ings except brick in certain prescribed limits. At Marianna Tuesday, in the election for city officers, Mayor Brash and Clerk W. H. Milton, Jr., were almost unanimously elec ted, receiving all hut three and two votes resiieetively. Frank Carter, a lawyer, and R. Lewis, a druggist, were elected Council men. The closest contest was in the office of Marshal. T. P. Perry was re-elected by eleven votes. The two oyster factories at Apalachicola have distributed over $2,000 among the o ster I mats the past two weeks, every cent of which was paid in cash. This does not include the shucking of the oysters and the other labor, which will amount to about $1,200. This total amount of money dis tributed around town ought to help to keep things lively. At Palatka Tuesday afternoon while the shifting engine of the Jacksonville, Tampa and Key West railway was passing Mrs. Smith’s Imarding house, Henry Bradley, a colored lad about 14 years old, attempted to jump on the engine, but slipped and fell under the wheels, which run over his leg, crushing all tho bones of his ankle ami foot. Amputation will in all probability have to be resorted to in order to save his life. Work on the Mg Ponce de Leon Hotel at St. Augustine is progressing finely. A few wooks ago it looked ns if the building would not lie finished and ready for guests, but so much has been done in the meantime that there is no cause to fear that misfortune. Day after day trains loaded with furniture, ctarjiets, linen, etc., arrive, and an efficient corps of workmen immediately nut them in their proper places. The third floor is com THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1887. id c 1 pletcly carpeted, and the finished ’portion of the building is clean and neat’. Mr. John son, tho assistant steward, is now feeding a force of sixty servants, who sleep at the hotel. Macon is a small town with four stores, situated on the Pemberton branch of the South Florida railr ad, ten miles south of Pemberton, six miles north of Dade City, and one and a fourth miles north of Owens- Ikito, this latter place being where the Florida Railway and Navigation crosses the South Florida railroad, and fifteen miles southeast of Brooksville, which is the county seat of Hernando county. Macon is iu Pasco county, and within less tlrnn one fourth of a mile is the crossing of the Orange Belt and Gulf railroad, which is now in rapid progress of construc tion and will soon be completed to the Gulf coast at Point Pinellas, the new name of which is to be St. Petersburg. This road, when completed, will lie one of the most popular roads for the country people of the three mentioned roads. That section of country is well furnished with railroads, and when the Brooksville branch of tho Or ange Belt and Gulf railroad which is to start from Macon and be finished before spring. Pasco and Hernando counties will surely be well fixed. BRECKINRIDGE AND BLOUNT. A Rather Fuller Account of Their Re cent Passage-at-Arms. l-'rom the Neio York World. Tho passago-at-arms between Congress man Clifton It. Breckinridge, of Arkansas, and Congressman James H. Blount, of Geor gia, at the Democratic caucus last night has naturally been the general topic of discus sion to-day. Congressman Blount is ad mitted to have been too hasty in his attack upon the Arkansas representative, who is the son of John C. Breckinridge, accounted thirty years ago the most brilliant of Ameri can statesmen. Congressman Blount is about three sizes larger than Congressman Breckinridge, but the latter is very plucky, so that it is considered fortunate for both that they were separated so promptly. The trouble grew out of tile contest over the election of Doorkeeper to the House. Samuel Donelson, the old Doorkeeper, has been bitterly opposed for several days by Congressman Breckinridge, among others. So thoroughly convinced was Breckinridge himself of the unfitn|ps of Donelson that he had made a personal tight against him and has brought up a number of charges against Donelson. When Donelson’s name was introduced in the caucus Saturday night Breckinridge at onco resumed the fight. In the course of his speech he went over all the charges of dishonesty and in eompetency that nave already Been pub lished. Congressman Blount favored Donel son and at the conclusion of Breckinridge’s remarks made a reply, in the Course of which he denied with vigor several things that had been said. , In this way the controversy grew -hot, and fast turned into insinuations of a per sonal character. Both statesmen held the lloor at the same time, carrying on a run ning fire of mutual attack without regard to which one had the privileges of the floor. Finally, while Blount wasgetting his breath, Breckinridge shouted; “These charges are of a character that no honest man would care to wear.” Blount regarded his adversary with clenched fists until he cought the words “character” and “w'ear.” In the confusion of noises he understood “wear” and “liar.” In an instant. Blount leaped from bis desk and rushing up to Breckinridge struck him a severe blow on the nose. Breckinridge was speaking at the time, and before he re covered from his astonishment Blount fol lowed up his advantage with another blow'. As the second blow descended Breckinridge recovered himself and letting out with his right hand bruised the skin under Blount’s eye. Several hit-and-miss passes then fol lowed in rapid succession, before the half dozen persons near by could reach the men and separate them. Congressman H. L. Rusk, of Baltiinor, in putting up his arms to wield the olive branch betw'een the two struggling statesmen received several severe raps on his hands and fingers. Breckinridge at once left Blount and started off for home. He had not reached tlie door when several members called out after him that Blount w'as ready to matte an apology. He laughed and hastened back. Both gentlemen shook hands cordially, and while Blount expressed his regret for what had transpired, Breckinridge said he had lioen greatly misunderstood, and felt no ill-will toward the Georgia member for what had transpired. The two statesmen then took their seats. At his home, on North Capita, street, this afemoon, Con gressman Breckinridge said: “Yes, it was an unfortunate affair, but no harm was meant and none was done. It all arose from a misunderstanding. Why, Mr. Blount never did understand any one whifwas ever in debate with him. I re member a friend told mo of a similar case. When he was deep in a debate a friend arose and called his attention to a valuable suggestion as to a point he had overlooked that would strengthen his argument. When he had finished Mr. Blount said: ‘I trust the member wall not annoy me by fur ther interruptions.’ He had not understood a word that had been said to him. “That is about the way it was in the de bate last night. I suppose Mr. Blount was so engrossed in the argument that he really did not know what I was saying. He did not know what he was answering, and got a a impression that I was attacking him. In fa c t, I know the peculiarity of liis mind, and was seeking to lead him into an under standing on my position. If I could have made him see the force of the charges 1 had made against Donelson I thought Tic would withdraw his opposition to my remarks. He misunderstood a word I used, and, for getting himself, struck me. 1 knew he would regret it at once and that he did not realize what he was doing. lam on very friendly terms with Mr. Blount, and, in fact, I feel almost an affection for him. He apologized in a moment or two after he struck me, and we laughed about it. lam feeling very well, and iam sure neither of us suffered very great punishment.” TWINa_ From Sunshine.
