6 GEORGIA AND FLORIDA. NEWS OF THE TWO STATES TOLD IN PARAGRAPHS. A Colored Boy at Amerlcus Steals and Burns Up Papers Representing $4,- 200 —An Amerlcus Colored Boy Badly Bitten by a ’Possum-Crimes in Elbert County. GEORGIA. Elbert now has three candidates in the field for Senator. The old Methodist parsonage at Elberton is offered for sale. The Young Men's Christian Association of Brunswick is now organized and ready for work. There are forty-two active anil fifteen associate members. ’ Saturday Joe Banks Tate, living with Col. R. F. Wright, near Elberton, acci dentally shot himself through the lung with a pistol. It is thought he will die. A boy on the plantation of J. W. Smith, in Hart oounty, had the misfortune to lose a portion of his right hand in a rather |ie culiar way. He was bridling a horse, when the animal bit him, tearing off one finger and terribly mangling the rest of the hand. At Americus, Sunday morning, Frank Oliver’s little boy got a large pin fixed cross wise in his throat, and everything that human ingenuity could do was done to ex trioate it, with no avail. At last Dr. J. A. Fort was sent for, and with a slight dexter ous movement the pin was dislodged. Last Sunday, near Centerville, a difficulty occurred between John Medlock and a negro. The negro advanced on Medlock with a knife. Medlock fired at the negro with a shotgun, the load entering his arm and nearly severing it from his body. The Court of Inquiry held that Medlock was justifiable. King Rav and Tom Davis, two negroes living on E. B. Head’s place, near Elberton, had a difficulty about some money matters a day or two ago. Davis drew Ins shotgun and fired at itay, emptying the load in Ray's abdomen. Davis has been committed to the Superior Court for assault with in tent to murder. Ray may recover. At a meeting of the stockholders of the First National Bank of Marietta, held Mon dap, the following Board of Directors -was elected: R. W. Boone, John R. Winters, C. S. McCandlish, L. N. Trammell, George F. Gober, T. AV. Glover and A. M. Dobbs. Afterward the Board of Directors held a meeting and elected Capt. R. AV. Boone, President; John R. AVinters, A’ieo Presi dent, and C. S. McCandlish Cashier. The bank will begin business in a very short time, as work on the vault is being pushed as rapidly as possible. At Americus Monday a negro was carry ing a ’possum up Cotton avenue, when he was stopped by another negro, who began fooling with the ’possum. The animal did not like this, and in some way got hold of the negro’s middle linger and held it with a vice-like grip. Several attempts were made to force the animal’s mouth open, but all failed. A lighted cigar was stuck in its mouth, but to no effect. Finallysonieoneap- I eared with a pair of scissors and pried the ’possum's mouth open with them. The wound on the negro's hand was a severe one. A valuable horse of Col. D. L. Clinch, of Brunswick, whilst being run at full speed through the woods in of a wild steer, fell into a deep hole, going down into it head foremost and almost turning a som ersault. It was some hours before the rider, a young negro about 'JO years of age, could berestoied to consciousness, and the con vulsions with which he was seized counter - acted by stimulants, hut when that was done, he said he was all right, only a little sore. As the horse always has shown much pleasure as well as great sagacity in the chase, the accident would not have oc curred if he had been left to his own guid ance. A bloody murder was committed near the residence of Hon. J. H. Brewer, two miles from Elberton, last Friday. Two negro boys,Charley Oglesby and Dave Swearingin, each about 1 7 years old, had a difficulty about a rabbit and some cuff buttons, when Charley made a thrust at Dave with a pocket knife, striking him in the lower part of the throat. The blood gushed from the wound in a perfect stream, and Dave died in a few minutes. Coroner Beck summoned a jury and held an inquest, and in accord ance with their verdict, a warrant for mur der was issued for Charles. No arrest has yet been made, but it is thought he will be captured in a short time,, One night last week two negro girls were passing through a little strip o wtsxls near Rose Hill cemetery, Macon, when they met frwo men dressed in fantastic apparei, and having false faces to mask their faces. The men had knives, and they stopped the women, who were awfully frightened. One of the men, after scanning the faces of the women, remarked, “Yon are not the ones . we want,” and turned away. The women raised such a clamor that people in the neighborhood ran out and gave chase. The masqueraders fled, leaving their knives and false faces near a huge oak that stands by Ocmulgee street, where they were after ward found by Maggie Howard and others, who still have in possession the articles. It was a strange occurrence, and was inex plicable on anv theory, except that these gentry were gallivanting around in seai-ch of plunder. The woods at that particular point are dark and lonely, and are very favorable for a lurking place for thieves, tramps and vagabonds. At Americus Sunday morning, while at breakfast, C. S. S. Horne had his pocket book, containing S3O in money and $4,200 in notes, stolen from him. He suspected a lit tle negro boy who did chores about the house, but had no positive evidence. On Monday morning he took Deputy Sheriff Cobb with himand visited the mother of the boy. He told her that he did not care so much for the money as he did the papers in the pocketbook, and if the book was returned him he would not prosecute the boy. The mother took the boy in hand, and he confessed to the theft, but said ho had taken the money out of the pocket-book and hid it under a plank in the carriage house, and had thrown the pocket-book anil the pajiers it contained into the stove, where it was soon burned up. The money, S3O, was found where the boy said he had hid it. Fortunately $4,000 (if the notes in the pocket-book were secured by mortgage, which was on record) and no loss can be sustained on them. The other S2OO, however, is a total loss. The boy is only 14 years old. Brunswick Advertiser: The Raiford canal scheme has been revived, to wit: the dig ging of a canal across the isthmus of Flori da, connecting the Galf of Mexico with the Atlantic ocean, using the Okeofeuokee swamp as the grand basin and the St. Mary’s river to the Atlsutic and the Su wannee river to the Gulf as the outlets. Col. Raiford has worked at this scheme for years, but accomplished nothing. The scheme has been revived with one change in the programme, and that is tliat Brunswick shall he the eastern terminus of the route. Col. Malcolm Webb, from Paris, visited the city last week, and having ar ranged to secure all the data* he wishes has gone to Atlanta to request < Jot, Gordon to convene the Legislature at the expense of his syndicate to take such action as will he necessary to allow the work to take shape at once.

Lost in a Flow of Words. From the SmithviUe ( Oa.) News. A darkey came to town to buy a mar riage license the other day. He was told that it would cost him $1 75, and ho went away without it, saying that, “he wasn’t in any hurry, no how, and he guessed they’d git cheaper atter awhile.” A colored darkey came in the office last week and said “he guessed he’d describe to the paper atter awhile, but didn’t feel ex posed to do so now. ” He said he had a de scription to a pai>er once, but that they didn’t send it to him constant, and he with drew his copyright.

Nogal.es, Ari., Dee. 6. —Yesterday, as some Mexicans were digging a grave at the cemetery half a mile north of this town, the skeleton of a human giant was uncov ered at a depth of two and one-half foet. The skull was accidentally split into two pieces by a blow from a pick. In size it is double that of an ordinary skull and the upper teeth are veritable tusks, ranging from three to three and one-half inches in length. The rapidly recoding forehead so noticeable among the aborigines is not a characteristic of the exhumed skull. A broad and not ovor-projeoting forehead strengthens the belief that this was one of the prehistoric men whose monuments of industry still ad<>i*u the plains aud valleys of Arizona. AVhile many of the bones turned to dust as soon as they were exposed to the air, the ones connecting the elbow and the shoulder wore intact. They are monstrous iu length ami thickness. Careful measurements of the skeleton place its height at S feet 4; * inches. The preservation of the skeleton for centuries may seem remark able to some who are not acquainted with the formation of the cemetery grounds. At t he time when the body was deposit'd there the soil was clay, hut not of sufficient strength in itself to form the concrete now present there. It was only by the admix ture of extraneous substances, such as luno wash and pebbles, that it became hardened. As this matter was only deposited In the rainy season, centuries have, without doubt, come and gone since the mammoth body was placed to rest, there in the sleep of | death. The bones of the giant were reiu i tarred in the concrete soil, where they havo j been resting from a time beyond the mem i ory of than. The skeleton will be again i exhumed and sent to a museum in some city.

THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1387. DR3SS REFORM FOR MEN. Boston’s Peel ration on the Subject - New Styles at tne Hub. A Boston correspondent of the Chicago Tribune says: Poston has declared itself in favor of dress reform—not for women, but for men. Eight years ago it became the fashion to cultivate extreme simplicity in masculine attire. Gold shirt-studs were eschewed in favor of costly imitation mother-of-pearl, and even watch-chains were not worn with evening dress. Mr. Evander Berry AVall—not at that time re cognized as the king of dudes, though al ready considered a chosen exponent of good taste in dress—was criticized for appearing at one of the Philadelphia assemblies with a single opal of large dimensions for a shirt button. But now all this is changed. The tendency at present is in the direction of the ornamental, and the swell young men of Boston are searching tee haberdashers’ shops—that word is English, you know —for gorgeous novelties in the way of linen and neckwear. Down at Nuhant this summer the beaux aU wore broad sashes of bright colored silk about their waists. Next season this pic turesque mode is to lie adopted at every summer resort in the East. In the matter of shirts, liowe 1 . er, the change in style is most interestingly perceptible. The white shirt is no longer en regie. It must be col ored—usually in stripes—with a collar of snowy linen. The very latest—just im ported—bus three colors, dark red, light pink, and blue, runumg vertically in stripes about one inch in width; colored cuffs at taclied and white collar. Another is of white pique—running horizontally—and between each two ribs of the pique a nar row thread of vari-colored silk. The fa vorite shirt of the most distinguished Bos ton dude is cream-colored, with salmou bued polka dots of silk. Another kind is made of light rose pique, with little dots of light silk (loss sprinkled through it. A short time ago shirts with stripes an inch aud a half broad, of bright strawberry and light blue, were regarded as the correct tiling aud could only be obtained to order at fabulous expense; but the cheap furnishing goods shops brought them out. ready-made at sll9 apiece, and the trade in them was killed. A shirt that is worn a great deal by swell men in Boston has three narrow lines of black running close together across the bosom, at intervals of four inches. Dress shirts must open in front —as do all shirts nowadays—and must have a narrow stip of embroidery running down the middle edge. The embroidery is done by hand and is very fine. Such shirts cost $7 apiece. Pale green pique shirts are exceedingly swell and cost SBO a dozen Some of them have large white silk figures worked in. The fashionable waistcoat just now is of white or cream-colored satin, sometimes embroidered in silk with flowery patterns. This, of course, is for evening. Knee breeches, too, are rapidly coming into favor. Begin the New Year with Wooing Fortune. In the city of New Orleans, La., on Tues day, (always Tuesday) Nov. 8, 1887, the 210th Grand Monthly Drawing of The Louisiana State Lottery took place.
