Kimball, in Emanuel county, was the victim of a terri ble accident on Wedne day of last week. While feeding Mr. Kimball's gin, his shirt sleeve was caught by the saws, and his arm was drawn in and terribly cut and mangled. It was amputated the next day. Sylvania Telephone: It is nothing so re markable for a person to eat five dry soda biscuits in five minutes without water, but when a young man devours three medium sized boxes of potted bam without bread, water or anything as company in its jour ney, it is time to consult an undertaker. The latter feat was easily accomplished a few evenings since in one of our stores, and when he had finished his task the young man wanted to know why he was not given some thing hard to do. On Wednesday morning of last week J. A. Enneis, T. J. IV illis and J. M. Newton, of Sylvania, went on a deer hunt near Poor Robin, on the Savannah river, in Scriven county, and while their dogs were trailing a deer on the Carolina side a huge hear was frightened from his hiding place in the cane thicket and came dashing out to the stand taken by Mr. Willis, just opposite the land ing, when he emptied the contents of his gun into the side and shoulders of bruin. The monster ran about 100 yards and fell d9ad. On Wednesday of last week the residence of W. M. Brinson, near Millen, was destroyed by fire. Almost everything was lost, owing to the fact that Mr. Brinson was alisent from home. The fire occurred about 10 o’clock in the morning. Mrs. Brin son, who is one of the finest housekeepers in the country, had several hundred dollai-s worth of sweetmeats—preserves, etc.—in her pantry, all of which were lost. The fire was caused by a sjiark from the stove pipe, it is thought. There was only about $l,OOO insurance on the house and contents. Monday night S. H. Cunningham, who lives in West Griffin, went down town to purchase some supplies, and atout 8 o’clock was returning home, going via the railroad track. When near the residence of Mr. McFarland the train passed, and, hearing a stumbling-like noi : behind him, turned to see what it was, when he discovered a burly man in the very act of striking him with Hwaething. Mr. Cunningham is [josseased of a good pair of legs, and. being utterly un armed, he ran, and was pursued for a short distance by the assassin, whom he thinks was a negro. Griffin Sun: Tuesday a gentleman by the name of Mangham, with his family, passed through Griffin, en route from near Wood bury to Cherokee county, whei-e he goes to make his future home. His means of loco motion was a snugly covered wagon, in which were stored liis household effects and family, drawn by a sturdy pair of slow moving oxen. He was nearly two days in reaching Griffin from his home, and only tarried here a short time, because, as he -aid, he wanted to complete his journey this week. In this day of railroads’ it is a marvel to witness the patience of a man who can make a long journey on the slow schedule of an ox team. On Wednesday of last week W. M. Brin son and Thomas’ Brinson of Sylvania were out on a bird hunt in the upper part of the county, and having some bints scattered along a small bram-h, one of them went on one side and the other took up the opposite side of the branch. Mr. W. M. Brinson “flushed” a bird, which went through the thicket, and. firing at iOlr. Tom Brinson, who was on the opposite side, was struck in the eye by one shot. It glanced on the eve ball and entered the side of the nose, caus ing blood to flow freely. It is not known where the shot stopped, as the wound was not probed. Mr. Brinson was out, appa rently getting along all right, a day or two after the accident. Amerious Recorder: Dr. F. L. Wisdom, who returned from a trip to Texas Monday, had quite an adventure, or almost hail, while he was absent. As he started for home, and the train was out only a few miles from Texarkana, Tex., it was halted by robbers, the express car and engine de tached and taken down the road a few miles, where the express car was “gone through.” The robbers secured quite a neat sum, and lurkily did not molest the passen gers. After being detained about nn hour, the car and emrine was brought back, a few shots were fired, and the train was allowed to go along. Dr. Wisdom says it was not a very pleasant experience, not knowing whether lie would De robbed or not. At Georgetown cotton still continues to oome in, though in smaller quantities, showing that the crop is nearly all mar keted. The very favorable fall, though, has. matured many of the late bolls, adding 10 per cent.,' or more to the general yield, which will doubtless run up three quarters of a crop and will r.dd something to the already depleted pockets of the farmers, or rather it would do so if they were unincumbered. The corn crop of the county is sufficient for home consumption or nearly so. More pork has lieen raised in the county this year than for several years past, and if the cholera can be kept off farmers are in the notion to raise their own bog and hominy. Spanish ground jieas are growing in favor as a supplement to pork raising. Captolo correspondence Sylvania Tele phone: An Eftlnghamer who was driving out on the Middle Ground road the other day came to a certain spot, on one side of which the took rose to a considerable height, and on the other was a low quug mire—just as a woman driving a horse and t*Tt entered the other end of the cut. As both held to the road, their horses soon j came head on and stopped. "Why didn't you turn outf” shouted the man. “Why didn’t you <” replied the woman. “I’ve got seven miles to drive, but I’ll stay here all winter before I'll turn out!” “And I’ve got seven dozen eggs here, and I'll let ’em freeze as hard as a rock before I’ll give an inch.” The man dropped the linns, lighted a cigar and leaned back on his seal. The woman drop|>ed her lines and wrapped an old rot* around her feet. There they sat for eight minutes, when the man grew impatient and called: "What's the price of hogs out your way;” “Oh’ you’ve got all the pork you want in your wagon,” Mie answered. “I’m glad I’m a widower!” “And I'm glad I’m a widder.” “Eh! Are you a widow!” “Martin: and I own .107 acre* of the best land in Scriven. So you're a widderer!” “Yes’ui. Mudam, pray excuse me. I’ll cheerfully turn out.” “Oh, don’t mention it. I’m perfectly willing to haul into the quagmire." “Ah! madam, allow me to hope tnat you will overlook —” “Oh, certainly. Fine weather, but rather cold. Good-by.” “Good-by, madam. Hope you will have a safe journey.” FLORIDA. Col. R. H. Gamble, of Tallahassee, died Wednesday. Palatka merchants report business good and on the increase.

Kendrick raised over 800 bushels on loss than three acres of land. Gov. Perry will name the date for hang ing Lowe, the Pensacola murderer. The Sheriff's fee for hanging a prisoner is ,810. H. W. Snell, for years one of Bartow’s leading and most substantial merchants, has fold his stock to Janies B. Kelly, ef Seneca. D. E. Davidson and Miss Fannie Posser, daughter of Hon. F. D. Posser, all of Ocala, were married at Gainesville Wednesday, It was an elopement. It is probable that fish will be canned at Apalachicola the approaching summer by the factories. Canned snapper is said to be quite a favorite article of food. The City Assessor of Orlando has about completed his assessment on city property, and will show an increase over last year of £500,000, and this was a dull year. T. A. Carroll, of Gainesville, suspended business Tuesday night for the benefit of his creditors. The exact amount of the liabilities and assets are not yet known, though neither are large. The chime of four bells which have ar rived for the Catholic church at St. Augus tine, is the chime, with the exception of one hell, that took the first prize at the Atlanta Exposition. Bishop Moore purchased the three bells and had aa exact counterpart male of the fourth bell at the foundry in Baltimore. It is said that a party of gentlemen in quired the price of a ticket from Pensacola to Flomaton Wednesday and the gentle manly ticket agent named the sum. “Why,” said the purchaser, “that’s five cents a mile, ain’t it;” “Yes,” was the reply, “and we’ll pull up the rails before wo shall sell a ticket for a cent less.” George H. Stuart, who was shot on last Saturday night at Chuluota hy William Barfield, is reported as being somewhat better. Barfield, who escaped at the time, is tome hard pressed by Sheriff Anderson, with almost a certainty of being caught. Jle was seen crossing the St. Johns river at Cook's ferry, and the Sheriff has covered every point by telegraph. E. W. Green, who owns one of the finest groves in the State, on lemon avenue, Ucala, was happily disappointed in the amount of fruit he gathered and the returns he received for it. Several months ago, in looking through his grove, he estimated about COO boxes, but shipping receipts show 3,370 forwarded, and the next returns will pay interest on £50,000 of investment. A foot ball match has been arranged un der Rugby Union rules, between teams of North Florida and South Florida, to be played at Kissimmee City on Saturday, Dec. 31.

Green was a notorious cattle thief for years, but by hook or crook es caped the meshes of the law. Everyone knew he was guilty, but could not down him legally, und, as warnings were of no avail, the injured, outraged uml robbed citizens gave him a trial and shift by the short route. He was in custody at the t ime he was led forth to the lynching. Green was a tout 35 years old. Bishop John Moore is very much interested in the restoration of the THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1887. Old Cathedral at St. Augustine to a point fo beauty not exceeded by any church in America. One of his plans which is worthy of special notice is for the decorations of the eleven windows of the church. They are to be stained glass, and each window will represent a scene from the life of Mt. Augustine. The glass is to come from Munich, and the designing is to in' done by one of the most noted artists of Washington. The bell tower will be 120 feet high, and will contain the bells and a magnificent time piece. Bishop Moore has partially decided upon four dials four and one-lialf feet in diameter, to be illuminated at night. The three altars of the church will be of pure marble, pews to ho of an tique oak especially designed for the cathe dral. The cathedral, ns it was, was rec tangular in shape. It will be cruciform when restored. The front and seventy-seven fqet of the old walls remain. J. W. Thompson (colored), editor of the People's Journal , a weekly paper published at .Jacksonville, was arrested Wednesday on two warrants, each beiug for several c lints. One warrant charged him with embezzling, at three different times, the sum of $l3B, one charge being for embezzling $ 100, one for $2.5 and the other for sl3. The other warrant was taken out at the instance of Joshua Williams, who charged him with the bribery of several voters at the election held the day previous. The charge is that Thompson had gone te the polling place of the Sixth ward and had spent the day, or the greater portion of it, in buying votes for himself as an Alderman of that ward. The accuser cites as instances that he pur chased the vote of Janies Shade, to whom he paid $1 .50; Preston Evans, to whom he jiaid $2; John Brown Thomas, who received $2; Morgan Williams, $2; James Jackson, $1.50; and Washington Black, who received $2, for voting on that side. Thompson was ai rested, but gave bonds for his appearance at the preliminary trial. AT THE SWORD’S POINT. Two Young Actresses Whose Jealousy Led i hem Into a Duel With Rapiers. Milwaukee Dispatch to Cincinnati Enquirer. For some time one of the crazes of certain social circles of New York city has been that of fencing with rapiers. One of the teachers of the manly art is Prof. Andre Berneau, whose class-room is on Eighth, near Fifth avenue. This room is often crowded with the bon ton from as far out as Harlem Heights. It is fine, healthy sport, and no prettier picture could tie desired than to see a score or more of handsome young ladies divested of all superfluous wearing apparel and each provided with a blue-bla !ed fou and fencing with all her might Among the many acquaintances formed he, ew as that of Miss Emma Hagger, of “A Tin Moldier” company, and Miss Nannett Comstock, also a member of the profession. These young ladies took fencing lessons to gether, called on each other, and in time be came the most intimate friends. At the commencement of the season Miss Hagger went with "A Tin Soldier” company, and at her earnest solicitation Miss Comstock was also signed, and finally became the under-study for all of the prominent female parts. During the San Francisco engagement Miss Comstock went on as Carrie Mtory, the role of Miss Hagger, and made a tremendous hit. The floral offerings were so many that she could not receive them all over the foot lights. And the following morning, when the daily papers contained the most flatter ing criticisms of the acting of Miss Com stock, her dear friend Miss Hagger refused to speak to her in the dining room of the hotel. Mutual friends smoothed the affair over, however. During the Milwaukee en gagement Miss Comstock again appeared in the role of Carrie Story aud at each perform ance here it was observed that a tali, rather distinguished gentleman occupied a box at every jierformance and was the donor of a basket of rare flowers to Miss Comstock. Friday evening Miss Hagger appeared, but it was observed that the gentleman was absent, and that she was not the recipient of any of the pretty blooms that had graced the dressing-room of Miss Comstock during the commencement of the week. The affair reached a comically entertain ing crisis Saturday evening, when Miss Hagger approached Manager McKee, and, after intimating that she would brook rivalry from no one, insisted that her en gagement with the company close Sunday night. McKee could do nothing but accept her resignation. At the same time he tele graphed Mr. J. V. Cook to put the name of Miss Comstock on the cast instead of that of Miss Hagger. After the performance Sunday evening the members of the com pany went to tho Piankinton House. They had to leave on the 4 o’clock train in the morning to reach Indianapolis, where they were to play that week. When train time came on Miss Comstock could not be found in her room. Finally, while someone was pass ing the apartment of Miss Hagger, the sound of clashing steel, hurried footfalls, heavy breathing and excited and angry exclama tions was heal'd. Suspecting that all was not right, Mr. McKee broke into the room, and, to his surprise, found the ladies engaged in a duel with rapiers. When they were separated Miss Hagger had sustained a cut in the right hand and Mias Comstock’s wrist was strained. When interviewed about the matter both young ladies refused to say what the immediate cause of the difficulty was, but it is the opinion of the members of the company that it was the gentleman in the affair, already intensified by rivalry, that led to this ulnost tragic settlement of the misunderstanding. Both ladies stand well in the profession. Miss Hagger lives in Jersey City at present, but is a Southern lady, and of Spanish extraction, being the niece of Miss Adelaide Randall, the well known prima donna. Mit® Comstock has been on the stage but a few seasons, but she has talent and beauty and will make her mark. The immediate friends of the two girls are doing all they can to quiet the laughable affair. COL TEXAS P. OCHILTREE TALKS. He Likes an Easy Thing, and Puts a Likely Conundrum for Cleveland. Front the New York Press. It has for some time been surmised that Colonel, the Hon. Tom Porterhouse Ochil tree, sometime Congressman from Texas, desired a return to Congress as the honored representative of a New York constituency. Dispatches from Washington yesterday augmented this suspicion and informed the public that "Col. Ijirry Jerome and Gen. John Chamberlain” considered the doughty Colonel a sure winner. When Col. Ochiltree wor asked about it at the Hoffman House by a reporter he did not deny the soft impeachment. He smiled broadly when show-nan extract from yes terday's Critic , which said: “The 1 rilliant, yet modest. Texas ranger is an Independent, Democrat, Republican, Prohibitionist, and is. therefore, qualified to represent any cog nate, conglomerate constituency." “Well,” said the Colonel, “it’s rather early to talk about such things, yet I should not be greatly surprised it I should find myself looking for a Congressional nomina tion in this city next fall.” “It is said, Colonel, that von will run for office on the Tammany Hall ticket!” “Don't know whether I shall or not,” re plied Ihe Colonel. “Tammany Hall is a powerful organization, one that controls a great many votes, and, of course, I would like their indorsement. Still l should pre fer to run on an independent ticket and give every one a ebunee to vote for me. I would like to be elected something like S. S. Cox was, and thus go in without much opposition. This is a great deal bitter than to bo compelled to make a hard, close fight on a single nomination, it also leaves u man more five to itet when he takes his seat. I have never yet l>een beaten in a po litical fight.” said tho Colonel, “ami I don’t want to l>egin now.” Phillips' Digestible Cocoa Presents anew and valuable food beverage.

A Dentist Advises the Use of Only Water With the Brush. From the Boston Saturday Evening Gazette. “■What should a man use to clean his teeth?” was the question asked of a well known dentist recently. The dentist replied at once: “Nothing but water. There are more good teeth ruined by so-nalled dentifrices than by all other causes in the world put together. The object of the makers of these dentifrices is, of course, to produce a preparation that will, with very little rub bing of the brush, make the teeth look per fectly clean and white. To accomplish this they put pumice stone and sometimes strong alkalis in their preparations. Pumice stone will unquestionably take all the tartar off the tootn. and will also, just as unquestion ably, take all the enamel with it. An alkali will make a yellow tooth look white in a few seconds, but before a week has passed it will have eaten away nearly all the en amel and utterly destroyed the tooth. In walking along the street you often see a ‘fakir’ by way of advertising his patent dentrifice. calf ii small boy from the crowd near by, and, opening the boy’s mouth, rub the dentrifice on his dirty teeth, and in a min ute, almost, take off all the tartar and make the teeth look perfectly pure and white. Now a man like that fakir ought to he ar rested, for he has forever destroyed the boy’s toeth. His preparation, composed of a nowerful alkali, is eating away the enamel of the boy’s teeth, and in a few months tie poor youngster will not have a sound tooth in his head. The dentriflees composed chiefly of pumice stone are not as bad ns those containing an alkali, because they will not destroy the teeth so quickly; but if used habitually they will as certainly destroy them in the end. “I Bhould advise a man by all means to use no dentifrice of any description, unless it be prepared chalk. If this is used not oftener than once a week it will not in jure the teeth, and may help to cleanse them, but it should on no account be used every day. Orris root does the teeth no harm and gives a pleasant odor to the breath; and if all our dentifrices were com posed simply of orris root and prepared chalk, they would lie harmless enough, if not beneficial. My own plan is to use a moderately hard brush and plenty of cold water and nothing else, and my teeth are in excellent condition. If people would only pick their teeth carefully after each meal, making sure that not the slightest particle of foo i remained near the gums or rietween the teeth, and would also, before retiring at night, run a piece of soft thread through their teeth, they would not have any necessity for a dentifrice. Of course sweets and candies are bad for the teeth; so is smoking, or taking very cold or hot drinks; but, bad as all these undoubtedly are. I really think that the worst enemy the tooth has is the so-called dentifrice. Take the advice of a dentist and never use any thing for your teeth but a brush and good cold water.” PIANOS.
