6 GEORGIA AND FLORIDA. NEWS OF THE TWO STATES TOLD IN PARAGRAPHS. An Alleged Murderer Arrested Near Dahlonega, While Leading an Officer to Arrest a Man Charged with Kid naping—Mrs. Hulda Moore Still at Large and Defying the Authorities. GEORGIA. Mrs. Anne Lumpkin Aldan, aged 87, died at Macon Sunday. She was a daughter of Gov. Nelson Lumpkin. A negro boy about 10 years of age, while riding on Fciy & Co.’s train engine, near Rocky Ford, Monday, was thrown olf and badly hurt. He had two fingers cut ff and received internal injuries. He will recover. Tom Davis, who shot and mortally wounded Kizzie Ray on Dec. 13, has been captured by Sheriff Alexander and lodged in jail at Elberton to answer to the charge of assault with intent to murder. It is thought that Ray will die. J. T. McCarty, for many years the editor of the Elberbm Gazette, but more recently of Washington, D. C., died on Monday and his remains were taken to Elberton, where they were taken in charge and buried by the Knights of Honor, of which order he was a member. The ladies of Augusta have adopted a singular plan of saving all the five-cent pieces that they receive in change, and one lady.it is said, has saved sls in nickels in four weeks. They have some scheme on foot, and are saving their nickels to obtain their object. One lady says she is saving to buy a house. Buck, John Mills’ big greyhound, slept in the Ordinary’s office at Griffin a night or two ago, and in his feverish unrest turned over every inkstand in the office and nearly pushed a large table out of the room. He appeared the next morning with each paw a different color of ink, making an ap pearance that would have lirought a large price from a showman. The surveying corps of the G. C. and N. railroad are located about four miles west of Elberton, and are now engaged in mak ing the final survey, to eioss Broad river at Deadwyler’s ferry, thence via Elberton to Lasseur’s Island, in Savannah river. This route has been recommended as the most practical and will lie the one adopted. It is now a settled thing that the road will be built and will go by Elberton. At Atlanta Monday, T. E. Veal, Sanitary Inspector, ran upon a cargo of second-hand clothing, which had lieen shipjied to At lanta from Charleston. The clothing came in three lots, and in tho three lots there were nearly two thousand articles. Some of the articles are worthless, while other pieces are quite good. The clothing will be, if passed by the inspector, thrown upon the shelves in some of the second-hand clothing houses in Atlanta. Elbert county has t’.iree candidates in the field for Senatorial honors from the Thirtieth district, namely: John P. Shan non, a prominent lawyer of Elberton, and J. W. MeCalla and A. O. Harper, both prominent and influential citizens of the county. Of these three gentlemen it is hard which will bo the successful candi date. While it is Elbert county’s time ac cording to the rotation system to say who shall be Senator from that district, it is the general opinion that Oglethorpe will put out a candidate when the proper time comes. This week’s issue of the Dahlonega Signal gives a story of remarkable detail It seems that eight or ten .year* ago a man named Barnes was murdered near the line of Fannin county, Georgia, and Polk county, Tennessee, the man’s head being split open with an ax, from which ho died in a short time. Josepa B. Myers was suspected of committing the murder and he fled from the county, nobody knew where. He was searched for, and a large reward was offered for his arrest. Time jiassod and the murder was forgotten, and the murderer was not found. On Wednesday last a lawyer of Maysville, Jackson county, accompanied by a man calling himself Myers, of the same county, came here with a warrant against “Devil” Jim Higgms, of this oountv, for kidnaping. The warrant chained Higgins witli kidnaping a child on Nov. 30 from Mrs. Myers. Bho was the mother of the child by a former husband named Ray. The child was a relative of Higgins, and he wanted it; so he took it and brought it to his home in this couuty. Myers requested Marshal Townsend to ac company him to assist in the enforcement of the warrant or the recovery of the child. Higgins lives about eight miles from Dah lonega, and on arriving at the home of Hig gins everything was in confusion. The two men were met bv the whole Higgins family, one of the boys Having a gun, another one of the family an ax, and so on. Tho Mar shal, who is also a constable, read the war rant, when Higgins surprised the officer by stating that Myers was the murderer of Barnes and that he had fed and harbored him many da vs when Myers was hiding from arrest, 'f he officer was surprised, but hnv ing a recollection of the murder, and also having been told oefop# that Higgins had fed and harbored Myers, he immediately placed Myers under arrest, and summoned Constable Walker, of that district, to assist him. He then placed Myers under Walker’s care and proceeded to ai re-t Higgins on tho charge of kidnaping. The two prisoners were brought to town and, Higgins having agreed to give up the child, the warrant was dismissed against him and Myers was committed to jail. Myers acknowledged to Sheriff Satterfield that he had hit Barnes in the head with an ax in Touuessee, but did it in self-defense. Others claim that the murder was committed in Georgia. There is some dispute, and the Sheriff is now in vestigating the matter. Danielsville, Ga., correspondence Atlanta Constitution: Mrs. Hulda Moore has out witted the officers at last, and is now hid out among friends. At last Septemlier term of our Superior Court judgment was obtained against Mr. John Moore, husband of the famous Mrs. Hulda Moore, for attorney’s fee. A motion ior anew trial was defeated, but served to postpone collection till the January sale. Sheriff Scarborough pro ceeded to levy, but desisted in the face of Mrs. Moore’s fair promises, and on Mon day Mrs. Mcore came up ostensibly to settle, bringing certificates of deposit from the National Bank of Athens. Hhe requested Mr. Strickland, plaintiff in the fi. fa. to write a receipt in full, which he did. She then requested to see both receipt and 11 fa. After scrutinizing them she placed them in her pocket and de parted. The Sheriff took out a possessory warrant and followed. Fair promises again prevailed. Failing to meet her engagement again the Sheriff went to arrest Mi's. Moore, but found her armed and defiant, threaten ing murder if he attempted to enter tho house. The Sheriff returned without a prisoner. On Saturday tho Sheriff. Deputy Sheriff Henry McEwen, and Messrs. Hugh Hardeman, Lloyd Brooks, and James S. McCurdy went down to arrest her under a possessory warrant. On arriving Jim McCurdy went into the kitchen, where Mm. Moore and her coon were, to see if lie eouid not perform the mission peaceably and without force. The woman was furious, and kept the tables between her and McCurdy, leveling her cocked pistol, with finger on the trigger, at him frequently. There was no bluff in Jim, and when he saw there was no other chance but to take her by force, he stepped out and gave the posse tho alarm, whereupon Min. Moore jumped out and ran through the orchard. As the men jimmied her she drew two pistols, a British ImlJ-dog, 3H-calibre, centre-fire, double-acting, and a Marquis of Lome, 33-calibre, and with one in each hand, leveled them ut Bcurb trough. Brooks and McCurdy. Brooks and McCurdy rushed toward her from different directions and captured her, she firing the bull-dog through Brooks’ hand, doing but little dam age save burning it. Upon the others rush '■‘K up, and in the scuffle, she drew the other pistol on Deputy Sheriff Wash Whit* and snapped, but it failed j* *£''*• Thereby be was savd.l from k death. When brought to towu she refused to go into any house, or to the fire anywhere, and men crowded about her as she stub bornly stood and walked back and forth bareheaded on the square, with the cold wind whist ling about her. Finally she was seized by two strong men and carried to the ! fire in Brooks & Williams’ store. While by i the fire ho spied a hatchet on the mantel land waited until Jim McCurdvturned his [eyes elf, when she sprang for tho hatchet. ! Mr. Ben Russell, who saw her object, | snatched the hatchet in time to save Mc- Curdy from and atli. Upon the arrival of j Mr. J. K. Sanders, J. P., she objected t' his | trying the case. Mr. J. N. Boggs was sent for, when she struck that court also; her game of bluff was no good, and she was committed to jail until she could turn over the jiapem to the arresting officer, or hnve them forthcoming to lie dealt with as the law directs. Bhe sniil she would die before she would give up the papers. She was carried to the house of Dr. Sorrell, awaiting the return of her son, who went home to get the jiapers. Her husband, away in the night, brought, the papers, but she forbade him giving them to the arresting party, and bade linn hand them to her. She put them in her pocket and said she would die before she would give them up. She got sick, went into an other room at Dr. Sorrell’s and went to bed, and while some guards went away, and some slept, and some didn’t guard very closely, she made a leap for liberty jumping from a window in the sleeping room about daybreak, and was tracked across some plowed ground, where she ran barefooted. Another ixjs.se went for her yesterday afternoon, but she was not to he found. She is still at large and holds tho papers. ______ FLORIDA. Upward of 300 visitors registered last Sunday at Fort Marion, St. Augustine. Gen. J. S. Williams, “Cerro Gordo,” of Kentucky, arrived in Orlando Saturday. William Reynolds (colored) accidentally killed T. G. Gooding (colored) at Sylvan Lake Friday. The new building for Grace Methodist Episcopal church at St. Augustine is rapidly approaching completion. ’Coons are quite numerous at Hawkins ville now. The Dade boys caught nine large ones in the past two nights. Tho DeFuniak Signal charges that infe rior material is being used in the work done on the county buildings now in process of erection there. L. A. Dade, of Hawkinsville, has engaged his croji of oranges to a firm in North Caro lina for #3 35 a box, delivered on the dock at Hawkinsville. Among the multitude of accessories per taining to tho Ponce do Leon Hotel, at St. Augustine, will lie, it i- said, a printing of fice, where the printing for tho house —cir- culars, menus, etc.—will be executed. Prominent gentlemen of Orange county propose at an eariy date, to form a county organization on a large scale for the purpose of cultivating and manufacturing tobacco. A meeting will be called at an early date in January, and it is the intention of the pro jectors to make it a county affair and to clearly demonstrate the practicability of tlie successful growing of the finest grades of tobacco in South Florida. John Cody au Irishman, in charge of the freight department of the St. John railroad at TiK'oi, arrived at St. Augustine Monday with, the back of his head mashed badly and other injuries on his person. He swore out a warrant and had William Young, an En glishman, Postmaster of Tocoi, arrested on le charge of assault and lottery. The case was tried before Judge Cooper. *No wit nesses saw the commencement of tho affray, hence the jury brought in a verdict of not guilty, in accordance with the law giving a prisoner the benefit of the doubt. Young admits striking and injuring the complain ant with a brick, but says the complainant began the affray by striking and cutting him. Anew church has been recently erected at Huntington. It is quite au architectural gem, and when completed, as it will be very shortly, with its fine tower and rose win dows, it will be an ornament to the place. A bell has just been presented to the church ns a memorial offering from Mr. Everson Brooks, of New York city, and his sister, Mrs. Dr. Hurlbrett, of Stamford county, and though it may not tie mounted in its proper place in the tower, yet it will be raised ou a temporary staging, and for tho first time on Christinas morning the merry Christmas bell will resound through the woods. The deed of the land :nd building has been sent to the right reverend the Bishop of Florida, as trustee for the diocese* Columbia County Citizen: Our last issue contained a lengthy account of the re covery from the bed of the Ichetucknee river of the bones of a mastodon and the transferring of them, by Dr. J. Kost, State Geologist, etc., to the Agricultural College museum at this place. The doctor is still at work, and his discoveries iucrease in in terest. The bones of another mastodon of full size have been taken up half a mile higher up the river. These prove to bo those of another individual,because they are dupli cates—including an additional maxillary and extra femur, as also numerous smaller bones. What is jiarticuiarly interesting is that the bones of three other species of large animals of earlier geological ages—the Meg atherium, Mylodon and Palsootherium— were found in the same locality where the last found mastodon lames were takeri up. Dr. Kost's labors will add greatly to the paheontology of Florida, and should be properly encouraged and aided. Many Bt. Augustine people are curious to know why a large hotel is being built, al most as largo as the Ponce de Leon, in such close proximity to it by the same man. The Alcazar, when finished and occupied, will be more of a cosmojiolitan bazar than any thing else. Its large court will have open ing upon it many stores selling souvenirs and fancy goals. There will be cafes where one can go and procure a meal cost ing as small a figure as 35c., or something bon ton to cost us hign as $7. Buites of rooms will be furnished for any sized family. One of the magnificent features of the Alca zar will be the bathing department. Here one can obtain a bath in the recherche Turkish style—can dive in the big sulphur pool, or sport in the great sea water bath. The Alcazar is intended to lie a nucleus, where one can go and find whatsoever he may desire, from tlie jilainest necessaries of life to tho costliest luxuries. It will be com pleted in a few months. Like the Ponce de Leon, it will be surmounted by two towers of handsome proportions. A Reminiscence of 1805. From t he Lafayette (Ga.) Messenger. Oneof our little North Georgia towns, after the surrender, was garrisoned by a regiment of Germans. Belonging to tho command was a Frenchman, who made himsely very obnoxious to the citizens by his abuse of the South. The soldiers at night made head quarters at a store where beer and other luxuries wore sold. The proprie tor proposed to a friend of his to get even with tiie French man, if he would shade the light at a given signal. The proposition was cheerfully ac cepted. That night, when tlie soldiers had assembled and were marching around in the store singing, as was their custom, the signal w&s given, tlie light shaded, and the Frenchman was dropped by a blow behind the ear. The moment ho was struck, the storekeeper threw liis arms around a big, burly sergeant mid begged him for God's sake not to strike him again. The French man was taken to the hospital, and the innocent sergeant to tlie guard house, Tne next day the storekeeper prescrib'd himself befosp tho Colonel, who was a German, and said .that while it might look like prosumi>- tion in him, ho thought lie could explain (o him why tlie Sergeant had struck the Frenchman. It was because ho had abused the Fatherland. This statement struck the right chord. The Colonel turned purple with anger at the thought of any one abus ing Germany, swore round y, and promptly oidereil the release of the Sergeant and the transfer of the Frenchman from the hospital to the guard house. THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1887. THE STRUGGLE FOR MONEY. People Who Succeed and Those Who Fall in the Merciless Competition. From the Philadelphia Press. New York, Dec. Id. —How do men suc ceed in New York! The question came to my mind a few nights ago as I sat in the office of a newspaper correspondent, and watched his telegraph operntor dozing over his key. News was dull anil he had nothing elso to do. But it was the first break in six teen hours’ continuous labor, and he had three more to put in. That would make nineteen hours for his day’s work. A long stretch, isn’t it? Yet that man has stood it for thirty ;nonths, every day but the Sab bath, when he only puts in eight hours. He works as an operator at night and studies dentistry in the daytime. Next spring he will graduate from the dental col lege, and five years hence he will probably be pulling the teeth of our millionaires at S3O apiece. For it takes a goal deal of pluck to travel in the hard road that he marked out for himself when he came here a stranger from Dixie’s iand, and, after all, it is pluck that tells in the merciless battle for existence that is waged here every day. The men who have made a place for them selves here are those who began just as this one has, and who passed the milestones on the journey of life only by wearisome but never-ending trudging along its stony paths. Some men’s lives would read like romances if the facts of them could be told. One of the afternoon trains on the Pennsylvania took from this city to Washington the other day the editor of an afternoon paper. He went to the national capital to represent in Congress the biggest district in the biggest city in the country. Yet twenty-five years ago he literally walked into town looking for a job. He was a printer then. Now an entire newspaper establishment inarched to tlie station to start him right off on his political career, and he goes into Congress as tho brightest, if not tne ablest, journalist in the city. How much of the midnight oil do you sut jkiso he burned twenty years ago after he had finished his day’s work on the religious weekly on which he was employed ? It was not until after he ran the presses, set type, and made-up the forms' on the Tribune in Horace Greeley’s days that he got his first ojiportunity to write a line lor a newspaper. Another leading journalist of to-day set type on tlie paper of which he is now the managing editor. That was exactly twenty years ago. There is probably no better executive manager in a newspaper office than lie is, 1 >ut only hard work and grit developed his faculty or brought him his opportunities. For ten years he seldom missed putting in fourteen hours a day at the office, and seven •lays a week, too. Add to that the time he spent at homo reading, and you will find that life was not a bed of roses for him. TOIL THE KEY TO SUCCESS. The man who comes here to tread the path of dalliance will find himself Tallingback m tho race before he lias gone far. I could cite a dozen instances in journalism of both sides of the story, but take another profes sion—medicine. One of the surprises that caine to me a few days ago was an invita tion to dine with a well-known physician, whose fees easily average $ 10,000 a year. Twelve years ago, after he had been jirac ticing a long while, he had to turn to clerk ing in a hotel at night in order to gain a livelihood. During the day he managed to catch sufficient sleep between the calls from patients. Some five years ago his skill snatched the President of a national bank literally from the grave, for he had sunk away to a skeleton of ninety-four pounds and was unable to leave hia bed. That was the turning point in the doctor’s fortunes also, and he resigned his clerkship. Over a dinner table laden with the best that money could buv or an epicure suggest, my medicinal friend assured me that one-third of his profession in this city had a hard bat tle to keep their heads above water, another third are glad to be even with the world at the end of the year, and the remainder were the fortunate ones who could put away more or less in the course of a twelve-month. “There are men in this city,” ho added, “who have graduated with the highest honors, anil yet have to clerk for druggists or starve while waiting for patients. Fifty cents of actual cash paid would be a high average for tho fees in our profession here from top to bottom.” One of the partners in a leading whole sale grocery house has lived in the Hoffman for twenty-six years. For all but one year of that time he has been called at 4:30 every morning, and had breakfast at 5, and been at the store before 0. He has missed this routine exactly sixteen times. Eleven of these were caused by sickness, and on the other occasions he was out of the city. The last twelve months he lias been taking life easier and sleeping until 6 o’clock. He leaves his store at 6 every evening. I sup jiose the firm of whicti he is a member does a business of $10,000,000 a year. He him self is credited with over $2,000,000 in cash investments outside of his trade. When he began life here he clerked in a retail gro cery-one of those places where you carry coal all day and sleep on tho empty barrels at night. He was paid $3 a week" and his board. An uncle died and he bought an in terest in the grocery with the money lie in herited. That was the foundation of prob ably the largest house in the trade in America THE DARK SIDE OF THE PICTURE. Discouragements and disappointments of ten come so close together on a young fel low starting out on a career, with the brightest hojies of a great future before him that he is not always to blame if he gives up the battle and confesses his defeat after a few hopeless trials. There came into the lYess office here last week a young man who stated that ho wanted a position to do anything to keep himself for the winter. He’ was well dressed, of good npjiearanee, und evidently hail the lieuefits of an educa tion. He stated that he was a lawyer, hav ing teen admitted to the bar in 1882. Since then ho has been struggling for a practice. His highest earnings in any one year were $753. Last year he made less than $.500 out of the law, but lie earned a few hundred more by teaching in a night school during the winter. He declared that he had walked his shoes off trying to get an office jiosition with a lawyer’s firm, and as an evi dence of the plight youthfui barristers are in showed this advertisement in a legal paper: ,- A lawyer of ten years’ experience, and having best references from l ading firms, would clerk or look after office business for $lO per wiM'k. Address .” “Is the situation reaJly as bud ns that pic times it?” I asked a bright legal luminary that night. “That doesn’t begin to indicate it, he an swered. “I know a young lawyer who docs tho copying for a big law firm, and doesn’t get a dollar for it. They get his ser vices for nothing because they know that the fact that he began with thorn will helji him hereafter. He teaches languages at night, and thus mak s enough to pull through on. Dozens are in the same beat with him. In small firms, of course they get, a salary, but it don't amount to Jnucii. Rich men’s sons, who doesn’t care for tlie money—or for law, either, forthat mat ter-crowd out everybody else in law offices here. They get no salary, but in many coses squander more money than their em ployers make. It takes a hard pull and a strong pull to break through the ice. but once out of the drudge—well, a $50,000 foe has come to some people you know. ” Phillips’ Digestible Cocoa Produces a feeling of lightness and buoyancy as agaiust that of weight, headache and doprns sion, so common with the ordinary cocoas.
