6 GEORGIA AND FLORIDA. NEWS OF THE TWO STATES TOLD IN PARAGRAPHS. Three Prominent Citizens of Macon Die in a Day—A Haunted House in Baker County and a Colored Giant Who Lives in the Same County—A Lineman Drowned at Augusta While Drunk. GEOIUiIA. Sam Small preached at Macon Sunday. Building! to cent $237,500 are iu process of erection at Brunswick, Dr. S. S. Oauldsuand Mias Tillie McCall were married at Quitman a few days ago. John N. Bruffev, father of a well known reporter of Atlanta, died in that city Satur day. There i t a good deal of improvement go ing on in Ty-Ty just at this time, in the way of building new housos and improving old ones. W. P. Goodall, a well known hank em ploye, formerly of Savannah, J. E. J. Frank, who once represented Bibb county in the Legislature, and Joseph E. Wells, a prominent Mason died at Macon Sunday. Avery hotly contested race for Mayor was held at Forsyth last Wednesday. The candidates were George T. Brown and George W. Walker, former Tax Collector for this county. The result was the election of Mr. Brown by a vote of 105 to 62. At Augusta Sunday a negro lineman of the Thompeon-Houston Electric Light Com 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. Williams, at Juliette. His son, Green Wil 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. FLORIDA. Strawberries are ripe at Green Cove Spring. About 5,000 boxes of oranges were shipped from Tampa last week. Tlie burned district of Tampa is being cleared of rubbish, and contracts have been let for three brick buildings. The steamer George M. Bird, of the De- Barry line, has been charted to It. Bennett, of Crescent City, for twelve months. The lots of spong a sold ou the wharf at Key West Tuesday amounted to $0,524 45. The sale Wednesday amounted to $6,711 TO and those sold Thursday reached SO,OOO. The tobacco syndicate has purchased large tracts of land near Concord, and is having large tracts of hummock land cleared up for next year’s tobacco planting. Wash Hull, at Green Cove Spring, lias a turnip that bears a very close resemblance to a human hand, somewhat swollen. The thumb and four fingers are readily recog nized. The English mill men at St. Augustine have organized a fire brigade. They had their first drill Tuesday, and will hereafter drill every Tuesday and put their corps in an efficient condition. A. W. Barrs, a real estate dealer of Jack sonville, perfected the sale of a lot of sub urban property Saturday which realized over SO,OOO increase of what the same tract sold for about eight months ago. The election for bonding Fernandina passed off quietly, non-taxpayers taking but little interest in the matter, as they did not t hink their pockets would be affected by it. Owing to this fact the vote was light, being “For bonds," 297; “Against bonds,” 71. Rev. Charles Fulwood, of Key West, was made happy Thursday by the presentation to him of the finest "suit of clothes that oould be purchased in Key West; also sev eral other useful articles of clothing, in cluding a hat, by several ladies of his church, who made up a collection for the purpose. There is likely to be some trouble among the heirs of the' late John Reagan, of Con cord, in regard to his will. He left all his property to a grandson and to one daugh ter, leaving the rest of the children out. The grandson, Philip Mcßae, refuses to ac cept any part of the property and wilt ask to have the will set aside. Marcus J. de Medicis and Ford S. Per kins, the two young men arrested in Atlanta a few days ago, charged with selling stolen tickets belonging to the Jacksonville, Tam pa and Key West Railroad, arrived in Jacksonville Saturday morning, in charge of Sheriff Black, of Clay county. They were taken to Green Cove Spring, where they will be tried. Perkins was arrested in Jacksonville about two years ago for breaking into Nic olls & Rcekwell’s hardware store, ut which time a large number of revolvers and a quantity of cutlery was stolen. He was tried ami acquitted. De Medicis’ recent trial in Jacksonville on the charge of hav ing criminally assaulted a young white girl, is still fresh ill the minds of the public. During the months of October and No vember 180 vessels entered and cleared from the port of Fernandina, carrying cargoes of lumber amounting to 25,72.'!,085 feet, besides large quantities of fruit, cotton, naval stores, cross ties, red cedar, etc. The value of the exports during these two months is not less than $400,000. Of the lumber shipped, nearly 4,000.000 feet was for foreign ports. Orange City Times; A. S. Maynard, of this place, has growing on pine land 2,000 heads of cabbage, as flue as ever grew upon the huinnv k lands of Florida, and within <i few weeks he will have a fine lot to send to market. Money lias been made in grow ing cabbage in this H ate, but usually from hummock lands, but Mr. Maynard proposes to show that our pine lands are equally as good for this purpose. The schoouer Emma L. Ijowe arrived at Key West Thursday from Tortugas with Capt. Jensen and the crew of the Norwe fian bark Hiblulon, from Manitlan, Mexico. he bark ran ashore oil Southwest reef on Nov. 80 and became a total wreck. Her cargo consisted of mahogany and cedar. THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1987. and was bound to Queenstown for orders. Gapt. Jenson has placed his business in the hands of W. J. H. Taylor. Kissimmee Leader: We have received from Capt.. Rose another lot of blank con tracts of the Sugar Company for distribu tion among the planters. There is no use of hard times iu this section when a company backed by millionaires like Dissbon, Scott, and others, stands ready to pay the planters $4 80 per ton for sugar cane. Tiie Saint Cloud lauds are producing forty-five tons per acre. If other planters do as well they will realize $216 pier acre for their cane. On tho night of Dec. 8 a murder was com mitted near Cork, a flag station on the South Florida railroad, distant from Plant City five miles, in which J. S. Lewis was shot and instantly killed by James Arm strong. Tin* "capon used was a double barreled shotgun charged with buckshot. Tho news of the murder was brought to \V. H. Young, Justice of the Peace, of Plant City, who promptly went down to the place Where the murder was committed in company with Deputy Sheriff John Mooney, who arrested the murderer and two others, who aoe charged with being ac cessories. The prisoners are in jail at Plant City and well guarded. They aro all negroes. 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 girl with him to the depot, promising to marry lier at Starke, managing, at tho same time, to give tho slip to another to whom he had also made a promise of marrage. This latter young woman is well-known. The Sergeant took the latter girl’s jewelry ad arrived safely iu Jacksonville only to be ar rested by the brother of a respectable girl whom he promised to marry months ago. 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.” BANK STATEMENT. ~ ofP IjAXK 1.0-yo.
