Strangers in Atlanta Tuesday from the upper part of the State reported a heavy fall of snow on Christmas day in the coun ties of Whitfield, Walker, Catoosa, Dade and Polk. Snow commenced falling at an early hour Sunday morning, and continued until 10 o’clock at night, wheii it com menced melting very rapidly. Fritz Bryan, the 14-year-old son of Mrs. Mary E.

Commissioner Henderson has written to Commissioner Colraan for white mulberry seed, which will lie sent broadcast in Geor gia.

In early life Mr. Peacock was a minister of the gospel, and figured promi nently at camp meetings. His health has been on the decline for ten years or more, and bis death was not a surprise to his friends. The Gripco-Roman wrestling match at Atlanta Tuesday night betwoen G:ee; George and Mulder drew a large 4row,]. Muhler won the first throw and Greek George the second. While the third round was progressing, at 12 o’clock, the time keeper called time and announced that the contest was a draw.

One is a dominique and the other black. Up to this time they have never been separated over twenty-five yards, and each night they lovinglv roost on the same limb side by side. They never quarrel or fight and to such an extent does their love go that one cannot flan his wings and crow without tho other following suit. This is passing strange, but Mr. Carpenter vouches for its truth. Noil Smith (colored) has just been sen tenced in the courts in Augusta to four years in the penitentiary for escapes. He was sentenced from Bibb in 1883 to four years for larceny. He escaped, was recaptured and sentenced for one year for the escape. He escaped again, was caught again and got another year added. He escaped a third time, ana this time receives four years. Ho has now before him about six yeai-s in the penitentiary, when if he had remained quietly and worked out his first four years be would now be a free man. Atlanta poker players are playing in hard luck of late. They not only have to play against the pot, but also against the police and detective force. A commercial traveler from the Gate City remarked the other day, after a half score of his fellow drummers were pulled in that city, and registered their manes at the police station under the title of gamesters, that the only place he knew of in Georgia where it was not dangerous to indulge in a poker game was on tho New York steamers after they were outside of the harbor on tho billowy deep. Seven colored tnen, employes of the St. Simon’s mills, met with a watery grave last Saturday night in St. Simon’s sound. They went to Brunswick late that evening on the steamer Bessie In hopes of getting back by some steamer, but finding no opportunity they went to the back landing and got a small boat and started. Nothing more was heard of them until the day following, when seven hats, a jug, or bottle of whis and a basket was washed ashore on St. non’s Island at the lower mills. Up to this writing nothing more has been learned, and neither the boat nor the bodies have been found The following are the names of the unfortunate men: Bill Lewis, Hen ry Chapel, John Taylor, Jim McCoy, Sam bheely, Charles Williams, the second, and Jim Joiner. Sunday morning, in Oglethorpe counter, Webb Norman, a worthy and well-to-do fanner, died near his home, in Simsou dis trict. Mr. Norman was in the store of Hugo Phillips, and while there was offered a drink of whisky by a negro, who offered him his bottle. It being Christmas, and thinking a drink would not hurt him, he took some whisky from the bottle, and in less than an hour afterward was dead. One or two doc tors were called in, but too late. They pro nounced the whisky poison, lieing the cheap quality. On the same morning Clay Smith took a drink from some other whisky offered by a friend, and it almost tumed him crazy. He ran out in the road, hallooing and tear ing his clothes, and finally ran against the fence and was knocked senseless. His friends came to his rescue, and with difficulty put him to bed. This is one of the incidents of Christmas just cropping out: A gentleman went into Shinbolser's on Fourth street, Macon, Pi purchase some eggs and sugar for an egg nog. He was waited on by Bill Parker, but he was kept so busy at the time, it lieing Christmas eve, that as the night grew on he did not have time to think. He sold tho eggs all rigtit, but made a mistake with the sugar, giving salt instead. The mistake was not, discovere<l by the gentleman until next day, and then to get even ho and his wife invited Mr. Parker to partake of a nog with them. He had tukeu one good swallow when he detected a brackisli ness that was not natural with nog. but he was too polite to speak of it, and finally, but quietly, forced the whole glassful down. He was then told of the mistake, and none enjoyod the joke, but not the nog, more than he. At Hogansville at 4 o’clock Tuesday mom. ing an alarm was given for Are m the dry goods store of F. M. Saveli & Cos., which joins Hudson & Jenkins’drug store on tho west. The storehouse was quit ■ new, lieing among the numlier of houses burned two year* ago. Tho walls were guaranteed Are f™ b y Hip contractor, and so proved by uns fire, the drug store not being the least There is a well in front of tho a store, and from this well water was conveyed by means of buckets handed to those on top of the adjoining building and Cemrod on tho fire. This is said to have eon all that saved the Hudson & Jenkins I drug store. Mr. Saveli states that he had ! about SB,OOO worth of goods, which werein- I sured for sn,Boo. and that the building was ! insured for $1,475. He says his insurance Ibn the house will replace it the same as it | was before. It is thought that through some means matches caught, thus setting the house on fire.' Perhaps one of tlie most Important com mitment trials ever held in the county oc curred at Dublin Tuesday liefofe Justice Walker. On Dec. 23 J. M. Reinhart, a young merchant of Dublin, closed his store for the night about 10 o’clock, and wended his way homeward, w hich was about 200 yards from bis store, and in one of the most public parts of the town. Mr. Reinhart has no safe in his place, and when he closed up took the money and drafts amounting to about $2,100, placed them in a large pocket book and put them in his pocket. The night was a laiuv one, and Reinhart carried over him an umbrella Just before reaching his residence someone frojp belli ml him struck him a stunning blow, with some heavy instrument which felled him to the ground, the umbrella, perhaps, saving liis life and staying the terrific force of the blow. He was knocked senseless for a mo ment,. but recovered sufficiently, with aid of the light shining from his hall door, to rec ognize the mhber to be u negro, Henry Bur ney, who is already under arrest for more than oue charge of violating the law. The negro was placed in jail, and owing to the critical condition of Mr. Reinhart, was not given a commitment trial until Tuesday. Justice Walker bound the defendant over, but allowed him to give bail in the sum of SI,OOO. During his college days, it is said that that Col. John R. Rutherford, of Macon, the great Georgia advocate, gave promise of Incoming a genuine prototype of John L. Sullivan so far as physical prowess was con cerned. He was noted as an athlete among his contemporary students, both in his own college—the State University at Athens— and others throughout the .-state. Among the stories told as proof of his Herculean strength is the follow ing, which, although seemingly improbable, is vouched for as true by many graduates of yie university, who w ere classmates or fellow students of Col Rutherford, and who now, like him, have achieved eminence in their professions er stations in life, business or political: Young Rutherford was allowed by his father to keep a pony at college for riding purposes, and among other athletic prac tices, he became a thorough master of every jiosition in stirrup and saddle, performing many feats requiring great skill and strength. ■ But his most wonderful test of strength was one performed under an old oak tree that stood a short distance from the college. An stout branch of the tree shot out horizontally from the trunk within easy reach above him as lie rode, under it. He would spur his pony into a brisk canter, and riding him under this limb Wasp his heels under the bone, throw tne reins over the pommel of his saddle, and catching the branch of the tree above his head would lift tne house bodily from his feet, a:id while he swung forward bv force of momentum keep liis hold on the limb until he placed the brute in a standing position on the re turn swing. FLORIDA. In the Circuit Court at Pensacola. Satur day, W. J. Berry, in his suit, against the Board of Education of the county, recov ered $1,250 and interest. The Rev. H. R. Homeillan, pastor of the Cuban mission, at Key West received a genuine surprise Tuesday, in the shape of money from the members of the different Methodist churches iu that city. The first teachei-s’ institute of Lake county will be held at Eustis from Jau. 2 to Jan. 0. inclusive. Tho Board of Public Instruction of Lake county have prepared an elaborate programme for the five days’ session. Near James Foster’s place, about six miles from Welbom, Samuel Floyd, aged 24 years, was thrown from his horse and in stantly killed Monday. When picked up liis neck was found to have been broken. A Savannah, Florida and Western pas senger train was derailed two miles west of V* elborn Monday morning about. 3 o’clock. A track was built around tho wreck, and by 3 o’clock in the afternoon trains were run ning as usual. No one hurt. The County Cominissio ers have decided to build a court house at St, Augustine, to cost in the neighborhood of SIO,OOO. The style is renaissance, solid brick, and will be two stories high. The building will be rec tangular iu shape, 85 feet front by about 100 feet deep. The first floor will be 14 feet in the clear and the second 17 feet in the clear. The covering will be a flat roof of tin. Tremain and Risley, gardeners of Lake Dora, have ten acres of land in readiness for January vegetables, and they have already growing beets, onions, cabbage, celery, anti they will } lant out 100,000 tomato p ants. These gentlemen have muck land, well drained, and a sidehill irrigated by pipes all over the land, supplied with water by a hydraulic ram, and they arc assured of suc cess. On the night of Dec. 22 seven tramps, two of them colored men, broke ofien and robbed the store in W hich the |g>st office was located, at Crestview, robbing tho mails at the same time. Three of tho white men—one Calli han, Ed Smith and Thomas McGowan— were captured arid taken to Pensacola Sat in-day afternoon. An inspector is ou the trail of the other four, who will doubtless be captured very shortly. The schooner Sharpie, Josephine, is at Key West from Chucksluskee. The captain reports fine and abimdaht crops of tomatoes and cabbages, and that the seasons have been tlie best they have had there for years. He is in hopes to have vessels run ning that- will make proper connections with the northward-bound steamers every week, so that file delav which was caused last year in shipping will be obviated. Tbere has been raised, by private sub scription, SSOO to defray the immediate ex- i lenses ot a projier representation of De l'uuiak Springs at the Sub-Tropical. The exhibit to be made by the place will consist of specimens of work from the State Normal School and McCormick University—fine, large photographs of public and private buildings; interesting scenery and fancy stock, native woods, farm products anil manufactured articles of various kinds. At Fernandina on Katurduy night übout 10 o’clock several seamen from tho schooner Minnie Smith were taking another of their number, who was slightly “fifil” to the ship, and while going along East Second street they met a colored man and girl Some remarks were made by tho inebriate sailor which the colored man resented by drawing a knife or razor and dashed at the trio, cutting the hand nearly off at the wrist of a Norwegian named Chris Johnson, and cutting a deep gash in the arm of Fred Anderson, a Swede, who thus caught the blow aimed al Ills throat. The colored man was not known to either of the sailors. Henry Weatherford, the Western Union Telegraph Company’s lineman of tho Pensa cola division, was repairing a broken wire near Milton, Saturday morning, when a half-drunk fellow walked close upon him, and, drawing a pistol, which he pointed at Weatherfoi-d, demand to know wh|d: he was doing there. The fellow had evidently mistaken liis man, for Weatherford, instead of drooping his tools and limning away, as tho fellow doubtless expected, approached the man with a look m his eye that was rightly interpreted, for the fellow's “blulF’ acted ns a iioomcrang. and recoiled upon hiniselt, and thinking Weatherford's busi ness was not his, lie wisely turned and went pff us meek as a lamb. Weatherford’s African blood is crossed with that of the American Indian, and ho would no doubt have proven a tough pill for his bluffing antagonist. A report comes from Milton to the effect that, on Buturday night last, a severe cut ting scrape occurred on a passenger train ou the Pensacola and Atlantic railroad near that place. Particular are very meagre, but, from what Ims been told, the affair oc curred übout os I'oUow*; A par# ot per THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1887. formers, belonging to Sam McFlinn’s circus, which left Pensacola Saturday evening, were seated in a coach, when two country men entered the car. The performers and the countrymen began chaffing each other, and one of the latter got angry at the man ner iu which he and his comrade were being bested. Just then the car came to a stop, and he stepped out on the platform, pulled out a large knife, attd t hen started on a run ! through the car slashing right and left. Several of the performers were severely gashed, but to what extent has not been as certained; a physician was wired ahead for, and the train started. The countryman es caped. Key West fu/uator: A drummer now vis iting Key West w hen on his way North last spring bought a scalper’s ticket belonging to some doctor. Asa matter of-course he was so registered by the purser. The first night out he was awakened by the steward calling doctor. At first he could not re member why they should give him that name, but remembering the ticket, he answered. He was told that the Captain wished to see him im mediately. Posting to the Captain he was informed that there was a lady aboard who was quite sick, and as ho was the only doctor would he twill on her? He made a virtue of necessity and did so. I/xik ing as wise as an owl and fumbling at liis watch, he pretended to count her pulse lieats. Not knowing whether she was sick or not, seriously stated that her case was simply a nervous affection, and recommend ed three bottles of champagne a day, which were taken. The lady recovered. At Molino Monday morning, about 8 o'clock, Joe McMillan, of Pine Barren, a white man, was shot and instantly killed by Bill Hicks (colored). At thattimo McMil lan. who was drunk, wont to a negro fair that had lieen'going on all night.j ho was seen by Hicks, who remarked so as to be heard, that he had been wanting to kill Mc- Millan for some time and if he (McMillan) came near him, ho would do it then and there. McMillan started for Hicks; the two grappled and fell on the floor, Hicks upper most: two shots were lirel, Hicks aroee, and McMillan lay a corpse. Hicks then said that McMillan had tired at him first, that he had taken McMillan’s pistol from him, and had then shot McMi - lan. This story seemed probable, as Hicks had two pistols in bis bands when he arose, and but one shot had taken effect * The murderer then made go<xl his escape. A posse was searching for him late Tuesday, but so far, ho has eluded arrest . Hicks had tlie reputation of lieing “a bad coon;” be was an old saw mill hand, and was well known at Millview, where he Worked for a number of years. A Coroner’s inquest was held on the remains, and a verdict was re turned ill accordance with the evidence above given. Key West Equal r: The schooner yacht Maria, which came into port last week from Old Providence, left yesterday for the same place and Jamaica. Peter T. Knight and Capt. John Roberts, of this city, left in her. It is reported that the party in charg- of the yacht is in search of treasure trbve, said to be buried somewhere in Spanish Honduras. The vessel is fitted with imple ments for digging, blasting, &c., and a thorough search will be made. Rumor also says that a small steamer has left New York with another p.rty. who are ou the same chase. A noted charac ter, well known in the Bahamas and in this place also, who Is a mono maniac on money digging, came here in t he Maria, and no doubt was in her at Old Providence. If the rejiorts about the treas ure in question come from him, and these parties nave gone iu search of it from that man’s statements, tjien it is indeed a “wild goose chase” of the most gigantic kind. About four years ago this man was in Kingston, Jamaica, and told a tale similar to the above; he got tlie merchants and other men worked up to a high pitch ot' excite ment, so much so that they fitted out an expedition, and went in search of the treasure. He stated he was afraid, that while he was at work getting the treasure—which he dricrilied as being immense lots of gold coin, gold candle sticks, platens and chalices, which were stolen from churches from time to tune, and a large lot of diamond jewelry, etc.— the Spaniards would attack him 'and his party anil the expedition would fail. So great wai the excitement that an appeal was made to the Govemor General off Jamaica, who ordered a gunboat to accompany the expedition. They proceeded to the point named, and in stead of finding prodigious caves, etc., as reported, they found nothing but a low swamp. Reports further say that the Cap tain of the gunboat became so angry that the lying informer was compelled to juhip overboard. The disappointed expedition returned to Jamaica and the language asm l toward him was anything but compli mentary. The Most Popular Hymns. From the New Haven News. A London periodical lately invited its readers to send iu lists containing what in their judgment were the best 100 hymua in the English language. More tnan 3,400 lists were receive t. The first hymn upon the larger number of lists was Toplady’s “Rock of Ages,” having received 8,215 votes. The second in point of popularity was Lyte’s “Abide with Me;” the third, Wesley’s “Jesus, Lover of My Soul.” A hymu which is greatly liked and widely sung, “My Faith I.ooks Up to Th--e,” occuped only the sixty-ninth place on the list. The list'contains hymns from fifty-live different authors, ami among these Dr. Watts and Charles Wesley stand at the head, each con tributing seven hymns. Strangely otiough. in the summary as given by the Christian TMion. we do not find Newman's beautiful hymn “Lead Kindly Light,” which seems to us tho very foremost. Biliousness. We have tested its virtues, personally, and know that for Dyspepsia, Biliousness and Throbbing Heudache it is tlie best medi cine the world ever saw.
