of negroes had assembled to witness the
marriage of Asbury Speight (colored), and
the ceremony was ac'ually being performed

rupted by tiie advent of Augusta Fo>ter, a

What appears to be a practical scheme
for running street cars, elevators and min
ing trains has qeen invented and patented
by two Georgians, the motive power being
compressed air. The details cannot now be
given, but in all probability the citizens of
Atlanta will have an opportunity to see
the workings of it in the very near future.
The patent has only been granted within
the last few weeks, and already one syndi
cate in New York city has offered a hand
some price for it. Ai the owners are not
forced to sell, and as they are very confi
dent they have the best, cheapest, safest and
most r-liable invention which has ever been
brought forward, they are at present dis
posed to keep the control in their own hands
and -ell the rights to different street rail
road companies.
J. A. Richter was arrested near Harls
flelds mill in Colquitt county last Friday
upon a charge of attempt to rape the person
of Mrs. Missouri Sloan, a young widow liv
ing upon her farm with her four children
in that county. Mrs. Sloan gives the fol
lowing version of the affair to her father,
Abe Hutchinson: She was alone in tbe
house lying down with a headache when
young Richter entered, caught her by her
two wrists and told her his purpose, and
that if she hollered he would kill her. The
timely arrival of one of her brothers fright
ened him away. Richter and his father ap
peared before Judge Hansell of Thomas
ville, who granted him a preliminary trial
before Ordinary Henry Gay of C lquitt
county. The trial was held on Saturday
last, but the result has not been learned to
date, no advices having beon received from
Moultrie, where the trial took place.
At Brunswick recently it was found that
the main channel over the outer bar was
changing its course and cutting anew chan
nel across the little ridge of the outer bar,
while the old channel is filling up. The
mattor was investigated, and on taking the
soundings it was discovered that it will take
more than twelve months to give sufficient
depth for the heaviest draught vessels.
Tho general disposition has been to let
the matter alone and allow nature to work
her course. A few days ago th > Brunswick
Morning Sews printed an interview in
which it was shown that this is a matter
which if left for twelve months, would in
jure the cotton trade. The eou icil was
prompt to take action in tbe matter, and
have appropriated *S,(XX) to be used in
dredging tbe boulder, that is said, with lit
tle trouble, rpay be removed and secure all
the deDth needed for the greatest ships.
Prominent among those who are seeking
information as to Macon’s advantages is
J. D. Alexander, general superintendent of
the Palmer Manufacturing Company of
Charleston, probably the largest cooperage
in the country. The company at present is
operating eigut barrel factories in different
tactions. Mr. Alexander was in Macon last
week, and wbilo there tools in the excursion
on tho Georgia Southern and Florida road.
He was welf pleased with the road, the
country, and especially with Macon, and
on his return home he informed several of
bis friends that he intended to locate a
cooperage plant at Macon, if possible. To
this end, a letter was received yesterday by
W. W. Collins from Mr. Alexander, in
which the latter proposes to locate a plant
in Macon, should the council donate the
comjiany five acres of land near old Camp
Oglethorpe, in the vicinity of the East Ten
nessee cotton yards and the city magazine.
The cooperage will employ from 135 to 200
bands, and will turn out about 350,000 bar
rels every year.
An outrageous affair occurred 0 miles
west of Lawrenceville in Gwinnett county
a few nights since, the details of which are
just coming to light. It was the brutal
whipping of Mrs. Couch, a respectable
widow lady, by some unknown person.
Mrs. Couch has three children living with
her, but on tbe night the whippiug oc
curred they were absent, leaving her en
tirely alone. She retired at the usual hour
and fell asleep. Sho was aroused by an .ise
in the room and before she could cry out
she was seized by the throat and cruelly
kicked and beaten with a heavy stick until
she w-as senseless. It *a< impossible to
reoogaize her assailant in the dark. The
assault is a very mysterious affair,
and no reasonable explanation of it has
boon offered. Mrs. Couch is a lady of good
standing and well connected, and it was
not thought she had any enemies. W hat
made the assault more outrageous was the
fact that on the next day she was to have
been married to a prominent citizen of
Gwinnett county. Arrangements for the
wedding had been completed, but Mrs.
Couch was so prostrated by her terrible ex
perience that tho marriage had to be post
poned. There is a suspicion that the object
of the assault w-as to prevent the marriage,
but thus far no evidence has been developed
to substantiate this suspicion.
