6 GEORGIA AND FLORIDA. NEWS OF THB TWO STATE3JOLD IN PARAGRAPHS. A Boy Dragged Half a Mile by a Pair of Runaway Mules Near Thomaston Escapes Without Serious Injuries— Capture of a Murderous Baud of Negroes at Conyers. GEORGIA. Eighty-eight arrests were made hy police men at Atlanta on Christinas Eve and Christ inas. This is nearly double the number of arrests made a year ago, when prohibition was in effect. Humphreys & Prescott, who opened a mercantile business at Waynesboro last September, conducting a general store, have failed, and on last Tuesday ms le an assignment to E. H. Callaway for the bene fit of their creditors. Their assets foot up $986 80, and liabilities $1,064 18. The resignation of Postmaster Hah ns, of Jonesboro, was asked and Col. BillWatter ton has been given bis place. Mr. Haines has been postmaster for a number of years. Rumor has it tint a post-office inspector ex amined the books of the Jonesboro office and found that there was a shortage of some hundreds of dollars. It is reported that the Prohibitionists of the Stale will soon publish a daily paper in Atlanta. The paper will be a strong ad vocate of the prohibition cause in Georgia and the South. It will be neither Demo cratic nor Republican, but. will be for pro hibition first, last and all the time, without regard to political parties. Burglars entered the store of W. J. Will iams & Cos., at Temperance, last Tuesday night, by prying open the store door, and extracted therefrom several bolts of cloth, several pairs of boots and shoes, tore out the cash drawer and carried it near Mr. J. 8. Wilcox’s house and left it They got nothing out of it, as it was empty." No clew as to the perpetrators. At Conyers, Bill Care, the negro who stabbed Policeman Christian last Saturday, has been arrested and jailed. He was found about two miles from town at a colored man’s house. Martin Wyatt (colored) and John Anderson (colored), accomplices, have also been caught. Baker Carr (colored), who cut Mr. Osborn, is still at large. Mr. Christian is dangerously cut ami is very weak. The residence of Jack Svkes, about eight wiles south of Griffin, near New Hope church, was burned to the ground Friday evening, with everything in it. There was nobody at home, and there is no knowledge of how the fire originated, although it is thought to be incendiary. As the house was a good one and was pretty well fur nished, the loss is quite heavy. The barn and outbuildings were burned also. Hast Vernon, in Troupe county, is usually a peaceful bailiwick, but has just barely es caped furnishing the county a bloody and murderous sensation. Whey Avers, a col ored citizen, assaulted a son of John Shep herd, another negro, w hereupon the father called him to account. He, in turn, whipped him, and, another son coming to the rescue, the latt -r was seriously cut by the furious and vengeful darkey. The wounds will not prove fatal, but the issue is bail for Wiley Ayers, who is now shut in jail until he can pay a fine of $75. At Villa Kica Sunday night burglars broke into J. W. H. Allgood’s jewelry store and secured several watches, soma jewelry and Mr. Allgoods tools. Mr. All good lias been very sick for some time, be sides being a very bad cripple, and bis brother was sitting up with him in a rear room, and hearing the noise, went in to the store room captured the thieves and recover ing the stolen goo ls, turned the thieves over to the Marshal. They were locked up in the calaboose and Monday morning the Marshal found them gone and the door lock burned out Up to date they have not been recap tured. 1 All attempt was made Monday night to wreck passenger train No. 19 on the West ern and Atlantic road, near Cartersville. Five cross ties were piled ui>on the track, three of which were knocked off by the cow catcher. The other two ties were caught by the wheels and slid along the track a distance of over 100 yards before the train could be stopped. The cars were full of people, and if the engineer had not re versed his engine and stopped the train when he did, it would have been hurled down an embankment over 100 feet. The train was running thirty-five miles an hour at the time of the accident. At Tallapoosa Saturday a crowd gath ered at Whitaker’s blacksmith shop to cele brate Christmas by firing anvil guns in the usual manner. A young man by the name of Charley Dyer, who live, near Villa Rica, was in charge of the powder can, and after each explosion he would refill the ring m readiness for another, but unfortunately he happened to pour the powder on a live coal, thereby causing the powder in the can to ig nite, creating a terrific explosion, blowing nearly every piece of clothing from his body and burning all the hair from his head. He presented a horrible appearance as he was carried out of town in an almost dying condition. The explosion was some 506 "rods from the Land Company’s office, and broke every glass m the windows on the side next to the explosion. It is said the can was nearly full, it being a 35-pound can. No one else was seriously hurt, but several were severely shocked. Macon Telegraph: It was just like Charlie Bannon, with his warm, generous heart, to send the following note, covering a dollar, to this office yesterday: “I haven't many dollars to give away, but I am willing to deny myself what tlio enclosed can pur chase to aid little Bud Flowers in getting another pair of trained goats, and I am sure there are many more who will do the same as soon as a subscription list is started. I will give two extra dollars to create a fund to discover the heartless miscreant whose nature is so low-born as to deprive this poor cripple on Christmas day of his only means of locomotion. Let’s get him a pair for a New Year’s gift. Yours, J. C. Bannon.” This note was not intended for publica tion, but as its subject is a worthy one, and as it springs from so generous an impulse, it has been thought best to publish, aud per haps there are others who will join Mr. Bannon in securing another pair of goats for the boy. be remembered that Bud Flowers is a boy unable to walk, and he is hauled about in a wagon drawn by two goat*. Friday night some rascal poisoned nis goats and they died. Mention was male of the fact in yesterday’s Telegraph , and hence Mr. Bannon’s kind and characteristic note. Five or six dollars will purchase an other pair. One dollar has been subscribed. Next I The boys of Fort Valley are a mischievous set. Monday the following dodger was largely circulated about that enterprising town, and the people of the surrounding country were also lured away from then warm firesides by the seductive advertise ment. It read: “Free! Free! Grand Bal loon Ascension I Prof. Natalia Trezevanti, the great Italian world-renowned king of the air. will give one of his worderful high flying balloon ascensions In other worth, will make, a voyage in the air of many miles, going ontirely out of sight for a turn in the heavens. When the balloon is in mid-air, the professor will givo one of his perilous trapeze performances, which will cause those possessed of the strongest nerve to quiver and tremble. The most wonder ful sight of the nineteenth century is this enormous air ship on its high and' aimless voyage, one mile from old motier earth. The professor’s 8-year old daughter, little. Daisy, will accompany her father on this wonderful and perilous voyage heaven wards and return her pet kitten to the earth, unhurt, in a 4-foot silk parachute. Don’t fail to come and see this exhibition of skill, nerve and practice. Ascension at 5 o’clock, p. m. Will be at Fort Valley, Mon day, Dec. 3b.” They assembled from far and near, ami the hotel, the railway platform, and every avuiiable space was crowded with the eager throng waiting in open-eyed expectancy for tue great show to appear. A** *l they had waited until the sun went down, their patience becamo exhausted.and not even the promise that the professor would soon arrive, through the country from Haw kinsville, was silfficient to hold them, I and cine by one they departed, wiser, but more unhappy people. Thoninston Times: Edward Coursey, aged about 15, a son of Mr. M. C. Coursey, who lives near Lamar’s mill, bad a narrow escape from death last Monday. Mr. Coursey and his son were coining to Thom astou with a wagon loaded with three bales j of cotton and drawn by three mules. When j they came to th<* top of the hill near Maj. I Inw is’, near town, they stopped in order to | lock tlie w heels before descending tbe hill. | Mr. Coursey told his son that he had bet ! ter get. down and walk down bill, a* it would ! lie safer. Edward got down from the wagon I and stepped on the tongue. Here his foot slipped and he fell against one of the mules. This mule lieeame frightened, and quick as thought started to run, and in so doing threw Edward against the opposite mule. This one also became frightened and rati. Edward was thrown before the double-tree, and between it and "one of the single-trees. He grappled the double-tree, with his back to tin* mules. The hill is a very steep one, and the mules went tearing down it with the unfortunate boy holding to tho double tree and the legs of the mules strik ing him in the bank at every step. His father tried in vdin to head the mules and stop them. Arriving at the creek at the bottom of the hill, the wheels struck a rock, the coupling-pole was broken, the hind part of the wagon and the 1 mily were left in the creek, and the mules went up tho next hill at full speed, carrying the fore wheels and the boy still clinging to them. The mules ran about half a mile, and were finally stop ped by a young man who ran out of a field. They thought the boy must certainly lie dealt, but when Ihey extricated him from his perilous position he told them that ho did not feel hurt much-only a little bruised. He was covered with mud almost from his head to his feet, anil one of his shoes and stockings had lieen dragged off. While the mules were running, his father had called to liiin to turn loose, but he hail pres ence of mind enough not to do so. The forebounds of the wagon were pressing against, his breast, and he knew that if he let go they would crush him to death at once. And so he held on, down hill and up hill, through the ereok and over a rocky road, till he had nn experience which few ever survive. With his father he went on to Thomaston, and he was up and about next day, as if nothing had happened. Ho says be was so close to the mules that they could not kick, else they would have kicked him to death. FLORIDA. Key Largo is supplying Punta Gorda and the mainland with bananas. New caii> are being turned out daily at the shops at Green Cove Spring. The water is reported clear and Key West spongers having excellent luck at Rock Island. The Santa Rosa Rifles, of Pensacola, will give a grand military ball, Monday night, Jan. 3, in their handsome new armory in the recently erected Newman building. Berry Thomas, who lived about ten miles north of Quincy, and who had been an in dustrious and highly respected farmer for many years, died last Tuesday of consump tion. The horse race at Orlando Saturday be tween C. D. Hill’s gelding Henry Clay, and George F. Young's Dandy of Texas, for 300 yards, $l5O a side, was won easily by Henry Clay. This year, for the first time since the con struction of tbe Old Cat hedral, at St. Au gustine, 300 years ago, the customary cele bration of midnight mass on Christmas eve was omitted. The yacht Tarpon passed down Indian river the past week. She is owned by C-apt. Hughes, and is a trim craft, having an eight-liorse power naphtha engine in addi tion to her sails. R. F. Rogers, senior editor of the Banner of Liberty, published at Live Oak, will as sutne full control of that paper on Jan. 1. 1888, Mr. Allison, the junior editor, having soUl out his interest. The value of tho real and personal prop erty in Alachua county, as estimated by the tax books, is $4,686,278, of which $3,858,164 is real property, and $813,114 is personal property. The tax to be collected for 1887- 88 will be, for State $30,997 24, for county $30,406 41. Friday was a day long to be remembered by the Fort Meade people. There was a tournament, horse races and athletic sports, winding up at night with a grand ball, in which many ladies and gentlemen from ad joining towns participated. The day was a success in every particular. At Enterprise Sunday the Coroner’s in quest over the body of Henry Wade, the colored man who was shot by Agent Car lisle, of the-Jacksonville, Tampa and Key West railway, Saturday afternoon, resulted in the complete exoneration of Mr. Carlisle, the testimony showing that he had acted only in self-defense. A gentleman who went to Tampa a day or two since says it is now as clean a town as he ever saw. The most noticeable thing is the smell of fumigation, which greets you as soon as you get in the limits of the town. If tho city "authorities will only keep it in that condition through next year they can snap their finger at Yellow Jack. Eustis Lake Region: Mrs. Dawson and little child, of Grand Island, met with a severe accident last (Sunday morning. While returning from church the wagon wheel struck a stump and threw the child out. In attempting to save tho little one, Mrs. Dawson dropped the lines and the horse ran away, throwing the lady out. Although both she and the child were severely bruised, fortunately no bones were broken. Key West Democrat-. We are informed by Postmaster DeLanoy that the mail mat ter for this office has increased at least 100 per cent, within the last week. It is a shame that the department does not furnish more commodious quarters for this office. The present building is entirely too small, lloth for the rapid and proper distribution of the mails and for the accommodation of those who wait for it to be distributed. Again, Mr. DeLaney is allowod only SIOO per month for four employes, and he is compelled to surrender a large portion of his salary in order to accommodate the public. A REMARKABLE CASE Recalled by the Death of Mrs. Lucy W. Pitts. From ll if Jones County (C ld.) Headlight. The death in Griffin of Mrs. Lucy W. Pitts, the aged widow of John Pitts, recalls to mind a tearful tragedy, by which her family were once plunged into the deepest grief. About the year 1830, there resided a mile from Clinton, a very estimable family named Rose. Two daughters graced this home, and by a strange coincidence, both were wooed and won by men bearing the same name. Howoll Williams wedded Miss Lucy Rose, and George Williams Miss, Martha Rose—tbe former afterward be came Mrs. Pdts. George Williams was then ponsidered the handsomest young man in the county. If he had liaoits of dissipation, these habits were carefully concealed; if the embers of a fiendish and ungovernable temper smould ered in his bosom, a calm exterior betokened them pot. He was attentive to his business, and as clerk in the dry good* house of Mr. Samuel Griswold had"the confidence of Ins employer and his contemporaries. Ho lost bis position iu the store eventually and de termined to leave town. He bought the farm now owned by Mr. Samuel L. Chiles, three miles from Clinton. His cottage home was brightened by the presence of I two fine boy.-, and his wile was a model of i gentleness. (Jut* morning Mr. Williams weut I to the bedside of his young wife, at whose breast slumbered their infant daughter, not yet 10 days old, and leaning over her he left a good-by kiss upon her cheek, telling her he would nob be long away. Coming to THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1887. Clinton, he met his sHer-m-law going out to see tbe sick wife, bidding her remain at his house until bis return, and soon after reaching town entered the nearest barroom and began to drink. Some time post noon be concluded to return to lus home. On entering his wife’s room he found Mr. 11. Williams and wife, with whom he began an unprovoked quarrel, to avoid which they both left for lheir home in Clinton. Tims seemed but to add to his passion, and he be gan to threaten his wife, who left her lied, running to the field where the hands were plowing. While calling upon tho negroes to save her, she was caught anil held by Williams, who with his knife cut her throat literally from ear to ear. Sinking on the earth, ln*r life ehlied away, leaving her body there with the frightened negroes, he rushed back to tbe house, and, seizing the sleeping babe, threw it from the opened window to the ground below, but its wraps and the bedding around it saved its life. After being brought to a trial he was sentenced to bo bung. On the appointed day, Williams asked for a glass orwtto.'. He drank tbe water and threw the glass upon the stone floor of his cell. Picking up one of the pieces, he deliberately cut his throat, but, not to be thwarted, an indig nant public clamored that ho be bung, ana, although life was nearly extinct, his wounds were bound about and he was carried to the scaffold the rope adjusted, the trap sprung, and the wife murderer’s spirit had gone to meet his Maker. PRANKS OF ENGLISH BLOODS. Escapades of of Some Well-Known and Titled Englishmen. From the Sew York Star. In the early part of this century highway • men were abundant on all the roads leading from sporting taverns of high repute on Long Island as well as in England. Men returning from their Saturday night joll ty on roads leading out from old Flushing were often accompanied by braces of horse pistols. Mo it was at Hampstead Heath, near London. Tbe character of the sporting people of England and 1 .ong Island closely resemble one another to this tlay. How much we are alike any one familiar with the characteristics of both can si*e at a glance, and how often history is repeated. Many will remember George Work last summer when he rode bis horse into the West End llotei and the Howland House at Long Branch, and tried to jump his horse over the tables. It was iu the thirties that Mr. Osman Ricardo used to take his handiest horses in Ijondou into a big room ami make them jump over the big chairs. Ricardo had a friend in the house up stairs fast asleep, so he determined to “unearth the old badger.” Recognizing what they meant by this expression, Mr. Davis was out of bed in an instant, anil almost before he could get his door locked and a table and a chest of drawers thrust against it, he heard the horse coming up stairs and the men of war with him. A fearful attack was made on the intrenchments, but they were not to be carried. Mr. Davis stood well to his guns within, and the landlord, whose patience had lieen exhausted by the horse's ascent, fought like a Trojan without, and the “old badger” lay curled in thegurth till morning, and back down stails by hook or crook bud the horse to be brought, which was a work performed with much difficulty and danger, l'he Waterford family are well-known in America. The present Lord Charles was in a heap of trouble in Mm Francisco. At one time he came ashore from his ship with a select party, climbed to the top at the out side of the Custom Houso removed the American coat of arms, and replaced it with a sign of pork aud beans. For this he was disciplined aud compelled to apologize officially for the prank. Jokes run in the marquis' family. The present marquis’ father was stag hunting opce at I Leicester shire, when tbe stag bolted into a frameyard and down into a cellar. The huntsman was one Tom Heycock. The marquis kicked the spigot out of the ale barrel found there and flooded the place. Riders out with the mar quis that and other days after had hard work to find their wav home. The marquis would frequently take the precaution of sawing the guide posts and turning the arms the wrong way. Due niglu the mar quis took a lot of young country dudes out with him into a strange country. They wore principally young fellows whs w r ere foud of relating their wonderful perform ances in the drawing room, but no one ever saw them take a blood-curdling leap while on the pigskin. The marquis kept them out until moonlight; then, having arranged to turn the sign posts the wrong way, he in sisted on returning by jumping the stiles for thirteeu miles all tho way home. The versatility of the marquis’ family for p ire deviltry was astonishing, and is to this day. One of the Beresforda, with his friend, Sir Frederick Johnson, tied a rope around their horses’ necks and upset a gypsy encamp ment; as a salve'the next Jay bought a gypsy baby for Viand in order to get rid of it, stuck it on a hedge to shoot at, as they told the mother, till that nut brown dome crept up behind aud nipped off with it. Still another story is a cure he had for a pulling horse, which was to ride him at a hedge, on the other side of which he had made a deep hole full of water. _Thesy and many other good narratives an* often told at firesides in English sporting towns of the Marquis of Waterford’s family It may be of interest to many members of our young bunting fraternity to know that the first steeplechase was run off in Leicestershire about the year 1792. The distance was about eight miles, from 'Barkby Holt to the Coplow and back, and Mr. Charles Meynell, son of the great M. F. H., won it, Lore! Forrester second and Sir Gilbert Heathcote last. To any of our hunting men who desire to make a high jumper, let them put. their horses into a ring, with flights (four or five) of rails in it. It will bring their nags’ jumping muscles into play. A man should be in the middle of the ring to keep the animal mov ing. It develops the jumping muscles won derfully. Many who are fond of driving two wheelers prefer a Tilbury. A Tilbury derives its name from one Tilbury, a horse dealer of fame, fashion and fortune. Mr. Tilbury began life in a very humble way, and ended it surrounded with all the rural joys an English sporting man sighs for. Tilbury’s gre it. delight was to take two raw things into a Tilbury or carryall, turn it neatly over, and step out of it without the horse falling. Tilbury was an old-school, quiet-mannered man," replete with anecdotes, some of which he would forget he had told before, anil they became perfect sea serpents. Old Tilbury was very fond of riding across country, and once he found himself in (he middle of a heavy, top dressed field, surrounded by impatient farm el's with pitchfork ■ After listening to them patiently, he replied to them: “I’ve had fourteen boiling house lectures, and I shall now proceed to limit my way out of this 109-acre field on purely scientific principles.” The master of the Queens County Hunt, Long Island could tell a good story If he chose of how a certain belle of high social tKisition aud great lieauty wanted to caress ds hunter, and apologized for his hunter’s rudeness in jumping away by saying, “be bad never seen anything so handsome before.” This same Long Island sportsman gave the distinction between light weights and heavy nnos as “one breaks the horses' Imcks and the other their hearts ” At another time this Izmg Inland sportsman excused his absence from several meets of the bounds upon the ground of “trying to give up fox hunting for wife hunting.” So all the sporting wits are not across the seas by any means. * Phillips’ Digestible Cocoa Is a valuable substitute for tea or coffee.
