be Killed on Sight.

morning Chief Oliver, of the city police
force, received information that Charles
Banks, an escaped convict, had lieen seen in

depot Banks was seen', and as soon as he
saw tiie blueeoats he began to run. The
police commanded him to halt, but
he continued his flight, and when
fired upon he would stop and re
turn the lire. Banks made good his es
cape. Wednesday morning Dalton Mitch
ell’s corn crib was discovered to be on fire.
There had been no fire on the lot for some
time,and the origin of the fire was generally
thought to have been the work of an in
cendiary. Later on, when it was found out
that Banks had slept in the crib all night,
the cause of the fire was perfectly under
stood. Banks having gotten mad at Mrs.
Mitchell one morning in the absence of her
husband, drew a pistol on her and
threatened to kill her. He is also
charged with poisoning his child, which
was in perfect health a few days ago and all
of a sudden came to its death. This morn
ing a telephone message was received at
iiolioß headquarters stating that Banks had
been sesn in Mrs. Mitchell’s lot. A posse of
twelve men made for the place with instruc
tions from the Mayor to kill Banks on sight.

fore the posse arrived. He is still at large,
hid in the swamps around Athens.

ST. AUGUSTINE’S FIRE.
Statements That Lawlessness and
Drunkenness Ruled Denied.
St. Augustine, Fla., Dec. 16.—Much in
dignation has been caused by the Jackson
ville Times-Union's account of yesterday’s
fire, in which they state that the town was
at the mercy of a mob of drunken roughs.
To morrow’s Jacksonville News-Herald will
publish a card, signed by Mayor Green and
prominent citizens, denouncing the article
as a malicious falsehood, which reflects
on the good name of the an
cient city. It was a noticeable
fact that there was very little drunkenness
on the streets and all the saloons were closed
by the Mayor immediately after the fire.
Of the firms who were burned out C. F.

NO PRESBYTERIAN UNITY.
The Committees of the Assemblies
Unable to Agree.
Louisville, Ky., Dec. 10.—The Com
mittees of the Northern and Southern Gen
eral Assemblies of the Presbyterian church
of America appointed at the last annual
session to confer upon the subjects of or
ganization, and the issues dividing the two
branches of the church concluded
their meeting to-night. The sessions
were secret, but it is un
derstood that the adjournment took
place without any definite action having
been agreed upon. Rev. Dr. Joseph R.
Wilson, of the Southern church, who
was made Secretary of the Confer
ence, stated that another joint ses
sion of the committees w uld be held
before the General Assemblies convened
next May. The time and place, however,
have not yet been determined upon. The
members of the committees declined to
state the reasons for the adjournment with
out having settled upon any recommenda
tions to the General Assemblies, but the
natural inference is that they were unable
to dispose of some of the questions at issue.
KIL.i_.ED BY MOONSHINERS.
Two Brothers Who Piloted Revenue
Officers Assassinated.
Montgomery, Ala., DeF. 16.—Advices
from Russellville, Ala., tell of a tragedy in
Marion county, in a section of Northwest
Alabama, where moonshiners are plentiful.
About a mouth ago two young men named
Thomas J. Bannister and Robert W.
Terrell guided revenue officers
to several stills which were
broken up. On Friday night last they
started home for Russellville, riding mules.
Little Bear creek not being fordable, they
stopped all night at Martin Taylor’s. Next
morning they found their mules stolen and
started to walk home. They had not gone
lar when five shots were fired into them,
killing Bannister instantly and wounding
Terrell so that he cannot live. It is sup
posed that they were shot by moonshiners
in revenge.

THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1887.
EXPLOSION OF A BOILER.
Five Persons Killed and Three Inlured
in Pennsylvania.
Philadelphia, Dec. 16.—A special to
the Record from Westchester, Pa., says:
“The explosion of an eighty-horse boiler in
the Edison Electric Company’s works this
afternoon caused the death of five persons
and the injury of throe others. About 3:35
o’clock the firemen had just put ou fresh
fuel and had closed the last furnace door,
when the boiler, which was one of a series
of four, exploded.
FLIGHT OF THE BOILER.
“The boiler was lifted from its founda
tions ami propelled some thirty feet from
its location, passed through the base of a
newly erected ninety-feet-iiigh stack, which
instantly fell. Supt. Walter Etnbree was
engaged with a force of men close to the
stack, unloading anew boiler, and the
whole party wa< buried beneath the falling
bricks.
“Rescuing parties were immediately organ
ized and the bodies of Supt. Embree and
Elwood Beckett, a laborer, wero taken out
m alsiut an hour.
“Edward Schofield, a laborer, who was
badly scalded by steam from his waist down
ward: William Allison, a laborer, and Wil
liam H. Richardson, a for -man, were found
still alive though more or less injured.
A LITTLE GIRL’S DEATH.
“Hettie, the 10-year-old daughter of Wil
liam Jones, who was returning from school
at a point distant almost a square from the
scene of the explosion, was almost in
stantly killed by a flying beam. Large
pieces of iron were thrown a great distance,
and in descending passed through the roofs
of houses. .Much damage was inflicted
on the residence of James C. Phipps
nearly opposite the electric light works.and
ail the property in tho vicinity suffered to
some degree. As some extra laborers wero
employed m unloading an old boiler, it is
thought, that all of the bodies have not bean
recovered, and a large force of men is to
night digging over the ruins by lantern
light. The streets are enveloped in dark
ness, and great gloom prevails through the
borough.”
KNIGHTS OP PYTHIAS.
Trouble Brewing? Which May Cause a
Serious Split.
Cincinnati, Dec. 16. —Though the officers
of the Knights of Pythias have been very
reticent, it has become known that there is
a possibility of trouble to come. It appears
that some time ago Supreme Chancellor
Howard Douglas instructed all the Grand
Lodges to change their constitutions so as
to be in accord with the supreme laws, aud
pointed out wherein there were dis
crepancies. As far as heard from all
tho States excepting Illinois, Nebraska,
Delaware, Oregon and Pennsylvania had
complied. To-day Illinois came in as re
quested. The Supremo Chancellor has
issued a notice to the Grand Lodge of Penn
sylvania informing that body that if his in
structions are not complied with he will
suspend that grand jurisdiction. In the
case of Illinois, Supreme Chancellor
Douglas has to face the very
strongest opposition in the Grand
Lodge of both Supreme Representatives,
George W. Herdmau and E. C. Race, who,
together with the Grand Keeper of the
Records and Seals, Henry P. Caldwell, cast
their influence against the authority of the
Supreme Chancellor. The Grand Chancel
lor took the loyal side and has promulgated
his order complying fully with all the re
quirements of the Supreme Chancellor.
Pennsj'lvania has refused, and, as before
stated, has been given notice to obey or be
suspended. This time, it is stated, they have
to deal with a man with as much courage
aud pluck as was ever possessed by Samuel
Read or Henry Clay Berry.
TRIAL OF THE CHICAGO.
Her Performance Surpasses the Ex
pectations of Trose Aboard.
Gi.en Cove, L. 1., Dec. 16. —The steel
cruiser Chicago was subjected to a contract
trial for horse-power on Long Island Sound
to-day, and from tho latest information at
ham l it appears that her performance ex
ceeded all expectations. Beginning at 9:30
o’clock, her engines were kept at lull speed
for six consecutive hours without any acci
dent of any kind. The mean revolu
tions per minute were and
the horse power exceeded that called for in
the contract. The members of the advisory
board, who accompanied the ship, express
satisfaction at the result attained. From
all the information obtainable, it is certain
that in the Chicago the navy has a vessel
fully up to modern requirements. Tho
speed attained was slightly in excess of fif
teen and a half knots an hour. The lioilers
furnished all the steam required without
the use of the forced draught. The Chicago
. will return to the Brooklyn navy yard to
morrow.
DECATUR’S BOOM.
A Rolling Stock Company to Locate a
Large Plant There.
New York, Dec. 16.—A contract has just
been executed by Mayor E. C. Gordon,
President of the Decatur Land, Improve
ment and Furnace Company, of Decatur,
and A. Hegewisch. President of the United
States Rolling Stock Company, for the im
mediate removal of the immense plant of
the latter company from Urbana, 0., to
Decatur, Ala. This company, it is estimated,
will employ over 1,000 men in
the manufacture of railway cars for supply
ing Southern railroads. The United States
Rolling Stock Company also agrees to es
tablish its general repair shops at Decatur
for 4,000 cars they are now leasing to differ
ent railroads. It is also contemplated that
by the terms of the contract just executed
that a manufactory of railroad supplies,
including switches, frogs, nuts and bolts,
will also be established at Decatur by the
United States Rolling Stock Company.
FLINT GLASS WORKERS.
They Submit a Proposition Intended
to End the Strike.
Pittsburg, Dec. 16. —The striking flint
glass workers have submitted a proposition
to the manufacturers withdrawing the de
mand for an advance in wages of the "gath
erers,” and conceding the right of employ
ers to discharge workmen for incoinpe
tency, and drunkenness. They s.ill refuse to
submit to rule two, however, which pro
vides that manufacturers contract direct
with their workmen, as its adoption would
imperil the glass workers’ organization.
The proposition also suggests that fifty-five
hours be considered a weeks’ work in the
molding department nr.d fifty-eight hours
in the cutting department. Tho strikers
claim that the modifications have been umde
for the sake of peace, aud a compromise on
this basis is anxiously awaited. The new
proposition will be submitted to the manu
facturers at once.
Gold Mining In Georgia.
Chattanooga, Tenn., Dec. 16.—Dis
patches to the Tradesman from the gold
mining regions of Georgia indicate a
marked revival in gold mining enterprises.
A syndicate of English capitalists has just
bought 2.000 acres of gold mining property
near Gainesville and will construct a ten
mile canal and erect stamp mills. New
Orleans capitalists have also purchased an
extensive tract near Canton and will engage
in gold mining on a large scale.
Adv.ce to Motnera.
Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing SyruD should
always be used when children are cutting
teeth. It relieves the little suffer at once; it
produces natural, quiet sleep by relieving
the child from pun and the little cherub
awakes as “bright as a button.”
It is very pleasant to taste. It soothes the
child, softens the gums, allays all pain, re
lieves wind, regulates the bowels, anil is the
best known remedy for diarrutea, whether
arising from teething or other causes. 25

that his company is not involved in the
complications between engineers, con
tractors and the United States Constructi n

enterprise.

Louisville and Nashville road, who has been
frequently named of late, by various East

Second Vice President of the Baltimore and
Ohio road, announces that there is no prob
ability of his going with that road. He is
just back from the East, but his business

FIFTEEN YEARS OF AGONY.
Rheumatism Overthrown by the Use of
Prickly Ash, Poke Root and Potassium.
I suffered fifteen years with Rheuma
tism. and during that time tried all tHe
so-called specifics that 1 could hear of.
One of them 1 paid §3 per bottle for, and
took nine bottles and received no liene
fit from any of them. My grandson,
who runs on the 15. and IV. railroad
finally got a bottle of P. P. P. (Prickly
Ash, Poke Root and Potassium), while
in Waycross, and induced me to take it.
The first bottle showed it* wonderful
effects, and after continuing the use of
it for a short time the Rheumatism dis
appeared, and I feel like a newsman. I
take great pleasure in recommending it
to sufferers from Rheumatism.
