Avery hotly contested race for Mayor
was held at Forsyth last Wednesday. The
candidates were George T. Brown and

for this county. The result was the election
of Mr. Brown by a vote of 105 to 62.

pany, named Charles Lamar, white drunk
on the river bank fell in ami was drowned.
The bank from where he fell is 20 feet high,
and he was insensible when he hit the water.
Lockett Willis, an old negro from Flo -
villa, was found dead in bod at Forsyth
Saturday morning. He had come over to
court to witness the trial of his son on a
charge of burglarizing the store of It. L.

lis, was acquitted.
The anti-Probibitionists of Clarke county
are making a still bunt to see if they can
secure the signatures of a majority of tho
qualified voters in order to call an election
tm the whisky question. They are making
very little ado, but will make a thorough
canvass lief ore they decide to go to work in
earnest.
At Oaiuesville Saturday J. L. Gilreath,
of Union county, fell through the elevator
opening at Baines & Co’s. One arm was
broken, with other bruises on his body. Ho
was nearsighted, and looking . bout over
the store, fell as before stated. He is about
60 years old, which will be against his
speedy recovery,
The /lew school trustees of Ty- Ty, at their
meeting a few days ago. resolved to build a
first-class academy building and to form a
stock company for the same. Committees
were appointed to ojien books for subscrip
tion of stock at once, the shai-es being
placed at the small sum of $5 each, thus
giving men of small mcaus the opportunity
of taking stock.
At Sparta on Saturday Hancock county
was declared wet by the Ordinary. The
contest continued about three days. The
Prohibitionists failed to make any case at
all, and the decision was rendered on the
evidence presented by them as, as the Antis
did not offer any evidence, not considering
it necessary. This victory was more com
plete than the first, and will probably put
au end to the contest.
Avery amusing occurrence was wit
nessed by a large number of citizens of
Forsyth last Saturday. A farmer came
into town in a buggy, driving two spotted
mules, with a brindle cur following behind
the buggy. Before he left he purchased a
Texas pony, which he tiad in lead from the
back of the buggy. He then tied the dog by
a rope to the tail of the pony and put a bow
of red calico on the dog’s tail, who trotted
gently along behind the horse.
It is a singular fact that the earthquake
at Charleston should have interfered with
the black fish catch. A. A. Cullen, a fish
and fruit dealer of Macou, usually received
from four to six barrels of black fish per
week from Charleston, and since the quake,
although he has a standing order for the
same amount as formerly, he only receives
on an average a half barrel per week. The
decrease occurred immediately after the
earthquake The question therefore arises,
what effect did the quake have on the fish <
Were they swallowed up in a fissure, as one
suggests, or were they killed by tho shocks?
A novel case was decided in the Superior
Court at Rome, Saturday. Some time ago
Miss Abbie Webb, I)r. J‘ A. Tignor and B.
F. Clark jointly purchased three tickets in
the Louisiana lottery. Dr. Tignor after
ward took possession of one of 4 hose tickets.
One of the two which remained in Miss
Webb’s possession drew $15,000. Miss Webb
paid Mr. Clark $5,000, bnt refused to pay
Tignor on the ground that, by taking pos
session of one or the tickets, he had volun
tarily withdrawn from the pool. Dr. Tig
uor brought suit, and the jury Saturday
returned a verdict in his favor for $5,000.
A little negro boy. about 15 years old, but
small for his age, has had an unusual crimi
nal record for one so young. Ho has just
completed his third term in the chain-gang
upon convictions for larceny, and Saturday
he was arrested by Officer James, who found
him offering ohickens for sale which had
been stolen the night before from a colored
woman, Joanna Jones by name. This little
darkey has an optical trouble, his eves
being partially closed and his sight defect
ive. He goes by the name of “Blind Tom.”
His appearance, though he is & hardened
little rogue, is really pathetic, and it is really
a difficult matter to obtain a true bill against
him if any of the kind-hearted grand Jurors
get a glimpse of his pitiful little figure.
At Macon on Saturday night, about 10
o’clock, Sam Grant, the negro who was shot
near the reservoir two weeks before, died of
hemorrhage, caused by the sloughing of
flesh, until the sub clavian artery was sever
ed. The Coroner’s inquest liegan Sunday.
A large number of witnesses were examined,
among them Drs. L. L. Johnson and Rush
M. Brown. They testified that the death
was caused from the pistol shot, the ball
having entered the muscle of the left arm a
few inches below the left shoulder, and
ranging upward, lodged on tho first rib,
near the collar bone, cutting close to the
artery. Internal hemorrhage ensued on
severing the vessel, and this caused the
negro’* death. Several witnesses testified us
to its having been done in a fight between
the negro and young John Tracy, who lives
in South Macon. The verdict was justifia
ble homicide.
The scaffolding around a building at the
Empire Mills, five miles below Cochran, fell
on Thursday, and precipitated six men, all
white, to the ground, a distance of thirty
feet, and, wonderfully, did not kill any of
them. Their names and injuries are as fol
lows: Walter Morgau, young man, hurt in
cheet, side and back, no bones broken;
Stephen Lee. bruised hin. back wrenched
and fingernail tom off: Tolley Jones, gen
eral shock; Mr. Nobles, slight cut in face
and generally skinned up; Mr. Crider, an
old man, collar-bone broken, gash in the
scalp, two inches in length, to the skull
bone. His shock is severe, and while he
will, in all probability, recover, it will re
quire some time. George Evans has two
ribs broken ou the left side, terrible contu
sions almost all over the body, fracture in
back portion of the skull, with hail brain
symptoms. His condition is very critical.
Down in Baker county, about twenty
tbrea miles from Albany, there is a log
cabin which has the reputation of being
haunted. It is an old building containing
two rooms and is situated some distance
from the road. “I slept there one night."
said a prominent planter of tliut county,
“and about midnight I was awakened by
the slamming of doors and gates and the
flash of lights. The entire room appeared
to lie illuminated, and continued growing
brighter before iny eyas until it was a per
fect glare, and ali the while the doors con
tinue! slamming to and fro by some un
seen agency. I awakened my host and
asked him wbat it meant. ‘Oh, that is
nothing*’ ha ■toejjUy replied; ‘that happens
| every night.’ And turning over in bed, ho
was soon again wrapped in slumber. At
! the sound of my voice the lights were im
mediately extinguished, and intense silence
prevailed, the brightness and noise to lie
again renewed shortly after. 1 decided
that I would finish my slumbers in a less
uncanny place, and harnessing my horse,
by 3:.’JO a. m. 1 was leaving that house with
ite ghostly visitors behind me.”
Upon the Tarver plantation, in Baker
county, there is i negro, a giaut in height,
and Or almost sujiemuman strength, xlis
feet are large in propi ution to his stature,
and it being impossible to purchase any
! shoes largo enough for him at the stores,
j they have to lie mnde to order, at a great
I outlay of leather and cost. He* puts his
I large feet to excellent use, being a rapid ]>e-i
dejstrian. He frequently leaves the planta
tion to foot it to town at the same time that
some other party departs liehind a fast horse,
and when the driver reaches Albany, a dis
tance of over twenty miles, he finds tho walk
er already in the city. He is fond of doing
acts of great strength ami prowess, and
goes by the name of Sam Sata .. Between
the Tarver plantation uud town there lies
an old cemetery. Once, while making rapid
strides toward Albany, Sam neared the
graveyard, and he heard someone in a loud
voice crying, “Get up, get up,” repeatedly.
At he reached the place he saw an old man
apparently driving a pair of white horses,
and calling out to them in a loud voice.
Upon approaching the horses and driver the
trio suddenly disappeared. There was a
sudden rush of air past him. and all was
still. No sign could be seen of either horses
or driver. Sam now allows some distance
to lie between hint and that resting place of
the dead iu his pedestrian tours to Albany.
Lawrenceville, Ga., special to Atlanta
Constitution: Saturday afternoon one of
the boldest aud most daring pieces of devil
try that ever transpired within the limits of
this good county occurred, William Ken
nedy, William Dillard and the Haney boys
being the prime movers in the robbery and
brutality, and W. J. Nash, known among
the horse jockeys as ‘Lying Bill Nash,” the
victim of this quartette. Nash was peddling
chickens and eggs, and had been talking
with this party in town, and told them he
was going down in Ben (Smith's district that
afternoon. It seems that one of them had
at one time swapped horses with Nash, when
he gave him a note as boot for S3O. It is
reported Nash got the best of the trade and
the other contracting parties wanted Nash to
knock off some of the note. Nasli refused.
This was inside the corporate limits. The
next scene was outside. These parties
watched Nash to learn when he left town.
They soon soon saw him moving in the
direction of Ben Smith’s and they followed,
keeping some distance behind, until A ash
reached a dense strip of woods two miles
from town. The pursuing party hurried
up their chargers and overtook Nash, in
forming him, in no uncertain tones, that
they intended to kill him. Toward accom
plishing this end, Dillard ran up to Nash’s
buggy, grabbed and stopped his horse;
Haney grabbed Nash, jerked him out of the
buggy on to the rocky ground and stamped
him. Tho other two watched Nash’s team
while Huney and Dillard searched Nash’s
pockets. They found a pockotbook, $lO in
money and the boot note. They took the
money and book aud gave back
Nash his note, but a credit had
been entered upon it before it reached
Nash’s pockets. Thoy then threw
Nash on the ground, grabbed him by the
legs and started into the woods, dragging
him feet-foremost, threatening to kill him.
They had not proceeded far, when Mr. John
Flow ers came tip, on his way home, when,
on seeing him, the brutality ceased. Nash
got in his buggy aud came back to town
with bruises all over his face, head and
bodv. He made no resistance whatever.
He believed his time to die hart come, and
that his horse trading was verily a thing of
the past. He swore out a warrant for the
parties fer robbery and an assault with intent
to murder. They have not yet been arrested.
Nash is getting on very well.

Sergeant Ernest Engle, has received his
discharge from the garrison at St. Augus
tine. He is said to have been arrested in
Jacksonville for bastardy. This Sergeant
is said to have left behind him a wife in
each town where he has been stationed. In
St. Augustine hi* career is known to huve
been bad, and oue family has been broken
up by bis villainy. Last Monday he took a

had also made a promise of marrage. This
latter young woman is well-known. The
Sergeant took the latter girl’s jewelry ad

Key West Equator: A forced marriage
took place Tuesday morning in the upper
part of the city. A lad named Frank
Thomson had been keeping company with
a young lady of a respectable family in this
city, for some time. The lady has now
proved to be en ciente, and Thomson was
preparing to take a skip on the Nassau
schooner, when it was disco vered by the
lady's friends, who procured a warrant for
his arrest, and Sheriff George A. Demeritt
executed it on board the vessel. Marriage
license was procured, aud the couple were
married by Judge de Lono this morning.
Thomson, though quite young, intended to
act the part of a villain, by endeavoring to
run a way from his responsibility anti after
bringing disgrace upon an unsuspecting and
confiding young lady. We doubt that any
good can come from such marriages, and it
is a pity that such scoundrels could not be
sent to the penitentiary for a term of years.
At Gainesville Saturday, the Young
Men’s Christian Association Convention dis
cussed the question, “How can the member
ship be increased?” F. H. Latham opened,
and others followed. F. A. Curtis intro
duced the subject, “Hints on the Financial
Management,” after which routine bus
iness occupied the time until noon. At the
afternoon session, after the opening
exercises, the subject, “Spiritual Improve
ment of Young Man the First Work of the
Young Men's Christian Association,” was
opened by Mr. Williams, of Jacksonville.
M. B. Williams, Secretary of the Georgia
Association, arrived, and was introduced to
the convention. He led a discussion on
“How to Arrange for and Make Fruitful
the Work of the Y. M. C. A.” The evening
session devotional exercises were led by I.
E. Webster, and the convention proceeded
to form a State organization, after which
the question drawer and answers were read.
Foriumdina Mirror: Freights from Fer
nandina to New York are aYxmt tho same
as from Kavannah, averaging about $5 75
per thousand, and only 75c. per thousand
more than from Wilmington. Of course it
would be impossible for any railroad to
carry lumber out of Florida to Savannah,
with an additional mileage of 175 miles,
to be shipped at the same rate as at Fer
nandina. With increased shipping facili
ties, Fernandina must hold the supremacy
as a lumber port because of its natural ad
vantages, its location immediately on the
coast necessitating little towage, its deep
water and ample harbor room aud moderate
port charges. Its output of 26,000,000 feet
of lumber in sixty days foreshadows its
future commercial supremacy. We believe
if more planing mills were put up here to
dress and season lumber for marker, the
lumber business would be much helped. We
should ship more seasoned and dressed lum
ber.
W. H. Pell, who has been for over thirty
years a visitor of St. Augustine, is again
comfortably established in that city. Mr.
Pell can tell many interesting reminiscences
of the former manners anil customs of ye
Ancient City. He remembers when here In
1850 that the mail only arrived twice a
week, being brought by steamer to Pico
lata, on the St. John's river, and from
thence brought to St. Augustino by stage.
The only way of reaching the city, save by
an occasional vessel, was by the Picolata
stage. The arrival of the stage was eagerly
looked for by the inhabitants. The driver
carried n horn, and long before the vehicle
reached the city the tooting apprised the
citizens of the number of passengers. If
one passenger was on board a single toot
was given, and if more, an equal number
of tixqs were given. Mr. Pell says lie will
remember the excitement produced by the
blowing of the horn seventeen times on one
oc :asion; such a remarkable accession to the
population in a single day was considered
very extraordinary.
At Maclenny on Saturday at a large and
enthusiastic meeting of citizens, business
men and farmers, the Baker County Re
frigerating and Ranking Company was
organized with an authorized capital stock
of SIOO,OOO, 25 per cent, paid up, and steps
taken to incorporate. The following ofti
cers were elected for the ensuing year;
Ex-Mayor John W. Howell, of Fernandina,
President; Hon. C. B. McCleimy, Vice
President; Hon. M. T. Shuey, Couns i;
Hon. W. C. Herndon, Treasurer, and
Edwin 8. Shuey, Secretary. It is pro
posed to erect a ten-ton ice factory and cold
storage warehouse at Maclenny, and to
run a line of refrigerator car shipments to
all of the prominent points North, East and
West, carrying fruits, vegetables, meats,
milk, butter, eggs, poultry, etc. The Elce
plant and cold storage machinery has been
already contracted for and grounds se
lected. A savings bank at Maclenny will
be made one of the prominent featuies of
the company as soon as sufficient stock is
taken to warrant the undertaking. A large
projiortion of the stock has already been
subscribed and subscriptions aro coming in
quite lilierally from the surrounding coun
ty and abroad.
At Pensacola about 1 o’clock Saturday
morning fire broke out in the little frame
cottage No. 415 West Government, street.
The lions* was occupied by James Monroe,
and it, w ith all the furniture, was totally
destroyed. The houses Nos. 413 and 417, ad
joining, were badly scorched, one side of
either and portions of the roofs needing re
placing. No. 413 is owned by Frank Davis,
(colored), who succeeded in saving his fur
niture; the house was not insured. No. 417
was occupied by a colored woman
who had her furniture slightly
damaged. Nos. 415 and 417 were
owned by Lewis Bear, and were par
tially insured. The approximate total
loss is about SI,OOO. The origin
of the fire is unknown. The
house in which it started bore a very had
■ reputation, and about three weeks ago was
1 raidod by the police for the drunkenness and
i li-order tor which its inmates were noted.
The colored man, Frank Davis, says he had
bt o:i expecting some such occurrence for
some time pas , for the head of the ilisreiv
utable house would frequently, when in his
cujie. turn the things in the house topsy
turvy. Davis was aroused by the roar of
the Haines, and, while the fire was under
coo l headway, oould hear the man in the
burning house breaking up the furniture.
A woman rau out of the place exclaiming:
“Well 1 didn’t do it.”
