of a desperate conflict between two Ala
bama criminals on one side and a posse of
officers on the other, in which bqth of the
former were killed. The fight occurred
near Camptown on the Yellow River rail
road. The story, as related oy one of the
attacking posse, is as follows: Sheriff
Castello and Deputy Sheriff Black of
Geneva county, Alabama, arrived at De
funiak Springs one day last week with
requisitions for two criminals, Rus

in a house near Camptown. Russell was
lying in the door and Lye was standing
back of him clearly revealed in the light from
the fire. Costello and Morrison approached
by one door while Miller and Black ca ne
up to the door in which Russell was lying.
Black laid his hand on Russell’s shoulder
and said: “You are my prisoner." No
sooner were the wools spoken than Pye
drew his revolvers, one in each hand, and
commenced firing indi-crini lately with the
weapon in his left hand, but taking aim
with the one in his right.
RUSBELL KILLED.
The first shot from the right revolver
was directed at Black, but Russell sprang
to his feet just in time to receive the ball iu
the back of the neck, the ball passing
through and striking Black in the t reast.
Russell was killed instantly, but Black w.,s
uninjured, the ball having spent its force.
The second bail struck the door post to the
right of Black’s bead. Pye then directed
the right hand revolver, Keeping up the
fusilade with the left toward Castello
and Morrison. Tue first shot
grazed Morrison’s right temple,
but before another shot could be fired by
the desperado the four revolvers of the
posse cracke 1 almost simultaneously and
Pye fell with three balls in his body. Pye
lived until Sunday morning.
WELAKA WAIFS.
Heavy Rains—A New Jail—The Post
office Changes Hands.
Welaka, Fla., June 25.—This section
has had heavy rains almost daily for a
week. People are busy fertilizing orange
trees and setting out young trees. The
groves have undergone a wonderful change
during these rains, the mite has entirely
disappeared, aud oranges are showing np
better every day, though the crop is light.
The long dry spell damaged corn and gar
den crops. Theie are but few melons.
Fire in the woods south of town has swept
up all the vacant shanties belonging to the
old mill, also doing some damage to oraugo
trees.
Our city fathers contemplate building a
small jail. It is needed. Two or three
prisoners have already taken leg ball.
A school building is much needed, but
there is always a hitch in school matters
down this way.
The pcstofflca at this place has changed
hands and also the location.
The saw mill is running and all seem
busy and cheerful.

Pensacola, Fla., June 25.—Thomas
Higgins has libeled the Italian bark Bene
ditto for wages due him as a seaman, claim
ing $53.05, but the captain refused pay
ment. The attachment was issued in the
United Stales circuit court.

CARLISLE OUT OF COLUMBUS.
When He Left He Said He Would Re
turn for Satisfaction.
COLt’MBUS, Ga., June 25.—Felix Carlisle,
who left here this morning for Opelika
stating that he would return to-night, ac
companied by friends, and demand a reck
oning of E. P. Jenkins, has not put in an
appearance. The train from Opelika came,
but Mr. Carlisle was not on it. Now what
rn the affair will next tike
a question which puzzles the
public. Mr. Carlisle claims that the
settlement made by his friends and the
friend* of Mr. Jenkins is not satisfactory to
him. although his friends accepted it.
“What will Carlisle do?” is the question
asked by almost everybody. Toe impression
seems to prevail that an apology cannot
■wipe out the shame of a cowhiding, and
this seems to be the opinion of Mr. Carlisle
himself, but so far tie has not indicated
bow he will vindicate himself. Perhaps the
end has been reached.
Bcriven's Big Barbecue.
Stlvania, Ga., June 25.—The Alliance
barbecue given at this place yesterday was
the biggest affair of the kind ever held in
the county. About 3,000 people were pres
ent. Hon. Benjamin Terrell of Texas,
national lecturer for the Alliance, made a
splendid speech in the morning, wh.ch
was listened to by ihe vast assembly
with marked attention. The dinner was
plentiful and evert’body seemed to enjoy
themselves. Mr. Terrell said that it was
the biggest crowd he had yet spoken to in
Georgia, and promised tne farmers that he
would come back and speak to them again.
Prisoners Escape.
Irwijtton, Ga., June 25.—The prisoners
lodged in jail here made their escape ye ter

CAPITAL OF THE STATE.
Hayne Acquitted - Whitlock Sentenced
to Serve Ten Years.
Atlanta, Ga., June 25.—The trial of
young Arthur Hayne for the murder of the
Italian Christophine was concluded to-day,
with a verdict of acquittal. The trial was
suspe ded last week just before the closing
arguments, on accouut of the death of the
prisoner’s mother, and was taken
up again this morning. The evi
dence was clearly against Hayne,
and there was general surprise
at the verdict Before dischargi g the
prisoner Judge Richard H. Clark gave him
a very solemn lecture in which he to>k
occasion to handle tne jury very severely.
He told the young man that while
the jury had ’ seen proper to acquit
him, the court held a very
different opinion of the case,
He was clearly guilty and the verdict was
neither law nor justice. Headvised Hayne
to take a warning and not regard the ver
dict as a license to continue in his evil ways,
else he would surely be brought up again
aud would not be likely to make a similar
escape.
Whitlock’s punishment.
The jury in the case of Dr. Whitlock,
tried for the murder of Belding, found a
verdict of voluntary manslaugher at 9
o’clock this morning and the court sentenced
him to ten years. Dr. Whitlock, who was
looking for a different verdict, broke down
competely and wept while the sentence was
being pronounced. His counsel made a
stro gapped for mercy, which probably
lightened the sentence.
prksensments op the grand jury.
The grand jury in their general present
ment* to-day rak-d the county affairs fore
and aft. They found the jail in bad condi
tion, especially the quarters for govern
ment prisoners, which they characterized
as hog pens. They recommended anew jaiL
The county chain-gang was also severely
criticised. They r commended a sta ding
reward of S2,OOUa and immunity from pros
ecution, for the return of the stolen records.
The county commissioners were requested
to ask ttielegislature to make it a misde
meanor for a minor to enter a barroom.
The presentments dealt at some length on
the necessity ot improvements of the pub
lic roads, and recommended * change in the
present system. They ask the commission
ers to appropriate SIO,OOO yearly for labor
in addition to the county convicts.
AMONG THE RAILROADS.
The secretary of state issued to-day a
charter under the general law to the Wad
ley ad Mount Vernon railroad, which is to
run from Wadley, in Jefferson county,
through Johnson and Emanuel counties to
Mount Vernon, in Montgomery county, a

BRUNSWICK’S WIRE BUDGET.
Arrest ofthe Negroes Who Assaulted
Justice Winkler.
Brunswick, Ga., June 25.—United
States Deputy Marshal L. J. Leavy ar
rested to-day Edward Hazel and and Em
mott Keely, two negroes who are badly
wanted in Savannah for assault with intent
to murder Justice Winkler. The negroes
escaped from Savannah and came to Bruns
wick, and from here went to Colonel’s
island, about six miles from the city. Offi
cer Leavy visited Savannah last week
and warrants for their arrest were
given him. In returning here he started
some detective work of his own, a id all tne
time has been working on the case. The
negroes were wary and could not be ap
proached. They were working with about
forty others and twice, when strangers ap
proached they dropped their work aid
si arte l to run. To-day some of their friends
came from Savannah and notifiod them
that officer Leavy was after them. They
received their pay and started by boat for
Brunswick. Officer Leavy was notified and
was at the dock waiting for them. As
they landed he approacnod. Hazel moved
t r his pistol, but Officer Leavy covered
him as quick as a flash. A crowd collected,
and a bystander handcuffed them while
Officer Leavv kept a pistol aimed at Hazel.
Both were afraid to run. Hazel is an ex
convict aid desperado. He attacked Justice
Winkler of Savannah for sentencing him
some time previous for carrying co iceated
weapons. Officer Leavy’s fine detective
work got him his man, and it is remarkable
that Hazel did not sho it hi n when he was
arre ted. Both he and Keely are now lodged
in jail here and will be sent to Savannah.
TROUBLE OVER A BILL.
r Mr. Isaacs, a tailor, was seen by the
News correspondent t cnlghc in search of
an officer to have a warrant issued for one
Baldozer, a candy maker, who owes him
$lO on a suit of clothes, and wh >, it is
rumored, has left the city. Isaacs sent his
bill to Baldoser’s caniiy stand yester
day, but he was' not tnere,
aud the man in charge said he
was homo aick. Investigation developed
that he had left the city, promising to re
turn in teu days. To- lig it, a bov paid
Isaacs the money for Baldoser. Baldoser
came here in the fall and started business in
a tent. Ten days ago Deputy Sheriff Hen
derson of Macon arrested him on a warrant
issued by H. S. Holder, of that city, charg
ing him with cheating aud swi diing.
Bddoserpaid up and matters were ami
cably settled.
Ely Sims, a w 11-knovrn contractor, has
disippeared from public view, ad one of
hi, creditors, becoming alarmed, issued an
attachment against his horse and wagon.
Hims has a family here, and his friends say
that he will return and straighten out his

ters Destroyed.
Athens, Ga., June 35. — This morning at
2 o’clock the store of A. Coleman, a mer
chant of Prince avenue, and the u-town
headquarters of the Athens fire department,
were consumed by flames. The loss of A.
Coleman is $5,500, with $3,500 insurance.
The fire department lost, a hook and ladder
truck, a hand engine aud two reels, valued
at about $2,000. There is no insurance on

If disease has entered the system the only
way to drive it out is to purify an'd enrich
the blood. To this end, as is acknowledged
by all medical men, nothing is better
adapted than iron. The fault hitherto has
been that iron could not be so prepared as
to be absolutely harmless to the teeth.
This difficulty Has been overcome by the
Brown Chemical Company, of Baltimore,
Md., who offer their Brown’s Iron Bitters
as a faultless iron preparation, a positive
cure for dyspepsia, indigestion, kidney
troubles, etc.

IA WOMAN OX THE GIBBET.
i
SHE MEETS HER FATE WITH WON
DERFUL FORTITUDE.
She Frequently Expressed Pleasure
at the Prospect of Meeting the Hus
band and Children She Had Mur
dered—a Man in a Cell Nearly Com
mits Suicide.
Philadelphia, Pa.. June 25.—Mrs.
Whitling, who poisoned her husband and
two children, was hanged this morning in
the j ail yard.
The drop fell at 10:07 o’clock, and the
body was lowered and removed at 10:41.
The woman's bearing throughout toe
terrible ordeal was a most remarkable
exhibition of fortitude and resignation to
her fate. During the entire morning she
Dever for a moment showed the sligutes:
evidence of weakness, and frequently ex
pressed her pleasure at tho pros
pect of “meeting her husband
and children.” Several physicians
who were present at the execution and who
have more or less frequently been with the
condemned woman since her incarceration,
expressed surprise at the woman’s exhibi
ti n of calmnesi in meeting her death,
although they agreed in tho statement that
she has at no time shown any evidence
whatever of an unsound mind. The physi
cians say her death was instantaneous
from strangulation, though the heart
continued to boat spasmodically for
some time after. The body was
turned over to Dr. Alice Bennett, of the
Norristown hospital for the insane, for an
examination of the brain, after which the
body will be buried by the side of her raur
dored husband and children. The only
witnesses of the execution were tho sheriff
and his deputies, the prison officials, physi
cians and about a dozen newspaper men.
This was the first execution of a female
in Philadelphia county. There have, how
ever lieen several women hanged in other
counties in Pennsylvania
HIS OWN EXECUTIONEER.
George McCann, who was awaiting trial
for the murder of the wife, hanged bonseif
in his ceil at the county prison early this
morning. His cell was but a few yards
from that in which Mrs. Whittling was at
the time awaiting execution. He hanged
h'mself with a pocket handkerchief fastened
to the door knob of his celL
EXECUTION BY ELECTRICITY.
Auburn, N. Y., June 25.— The case of
Kemler, the Buffalo murderer, who was
condemned to suffer death by electricity,
was up on appeal in tho supreme court to
day. The appeal was taken on the ground
that the state con3ti ution prohibited cruel
and unusual puuishruent, aud the counsel
for the rnurde, er contended that execution
by electricity was cruel and unusual. The
case was argued at considerable length by
both sides, and the court finally decided
that testimony would have to be taken as to
the effect of an electric current on the hu
man body, and appointed Tracey C. Becker,
a lawyer if Buffalo, to take testimony and
report on July 30 next.

A Multitude of Ailments.
The ailments which afflict the kidneys and
bladder are so numerous that merely to name
them would fill a space far outrunning the
limits of this article. Sufflice it to say that they
ar.- boih oust mate and dangerous. To their
prevention Hostetler's Stomach Bitters is well
adapted. The stimulus wni h it lends to the
action of the kidneys when they are lethargic
serves to counteract a tendency in them to
lapse, first, into a state of pernicious inactivity,
a id afterward into one of positive o game
and sease, which soon de-troys their delicate in
teguments, poisons the blood and eau-es death.
A dou 'le purpose is served by tnis depurent. It
promotes activity of the kidneys ami expels im
purities fr mi the blood which have no natural
channel of outlet, except these organs. C msti
pation. bil ousness, fever and ague, rheumatism
and dyspepsia are also remedi -d by this medi
cino of tuorougb action and wide scope.

Broke Itself.
From Texas Siftings.
President Harrison’s line ot policy in re
gard to appointments has effectually dis
pelled all hopes of genuine civil service re
form, and yet some of t e organs maintain
that he has not injured civil service reform.
This reminds us of the negro servant girl
who was reproached for breaking a valu
able pitcher. “De Lawd hab mussv!” sue
exclaimed. “Who says I brokedat dish! I
only let it drap and hit jess broke hitself.”
Harrison haslet civil se’-vice reform “drap ”
and it has “broke” itself.
Thk only casual indications that Mr. Glad
stone has entered his 80th year are an increas
wg deafness and a slight huskiness in his voice.
A MONSTER INVESTMENT.
ENGLISHMEN TO PUT $ 10,000,000
IN THE SOUTH.
A New Town to Be Located at Cum
berland Gap JuatOver the Tennessee
Line in Kentucky—Four Furnaces,
Iron, Steel and Pipe Works, Three
Costly Hotels and Other Enterprises
On the Programme.
Baltimore, Md., June 25.—The Manu
facturers Record to-morrow will publish
the following:
A distinctively new era in the south’s
iron and steel industries is marked by tue
organization of English companies, com
posed of leading iron and steel makers of
Great Britain, to build extensive steel and
iron works, including four furnaces, a steel
rail mill, rolling mill, etc., at anew town
at Cumberland Gap, on the dividing line
between Tennessee and Kentucky.
LOCATION OF THE TOWN.
The name of the town is to be Middle
borougt, Ky., and for over a year the work
of buying mineral lands, preparing for rail
road connections, etc., has been vigorously
but quietly pushed by the American Asso
ciation (limited), which is the name of the
parent company. Over $4,000,000 in cash
has already been paid out, upwards of 60,-
000 acres of mineral land purchased, and
over $7,000,000 more have been pledged for
new enterprises.
COSTLY HOTELS.
In addition to the contracts for four fur
naces, a steel works and rollinr mill, pipe
works, eta, to cost in the aggregate #3,000,-
000, there will be a $750,000 hotel, and a
sanitarium in which many of the leadiug
physicians of Europe and this country are
interested; three hotels to cost $200,000;
four coal mines representing #500,0J0 and a
#500,000 tanner .’. Other e iterprises in
clu iing electric lig t and gas wo ks, saw
mi Is, b ick yards, railroad shops, etc., have
been arranged and the total investments al
ready secured aggregate $10,000,000 in
cash.
MORE PROFITABLE THAN COTTON.
Melon Raising Becoming! a Great
Southern Industry.
From the Few York Star.
Charles W. Anderson of Macon, Ga., who
has been stopping at the Gilsey House for
several days, has been telling me some inter
esting facts about our southern product, in
which most people are greatly interested at
this time. That is the melon. Of melon
culture and the shipments north be said:
“I ani interested in two melon companies.
The largest one is at Adams Park, twenty
miles below Macon, on the East Tennessee
railroad. This company has 1,000 acres of
watermelons, and it will ship this season
over 400 carloads of them. Just imagine
a square mi.e of level ground all covered
with the largest and finest melons. We
have sold 200 carloads in Boston already,
and half of the crop is sold each year long
before it is ripe.
“The crop through Georgia has been over
ten days late, owing to the drought Ship
ments were begun about June 12, and the
melons are arriving in excellent shape. A
friend of mine, J. L. Hander of Pe.ham, S.
C., has tried the same plan as the company
which I have referred to near Macon,to sed
the best melons for the best price. In th.s
way a specific demand is created for their
production.
“There is a growing desire on the part of
the producers in Georgia to sell by the car
load on the track, and no and übc a much
larger portion of the crop will be disposed
of this ye ir that wav than in previous
years. Sales have been made so far at $125
on the track. *
“Before I came to this city I took a trip
through the great melon-raising region of
the south, and the outlook this year is most
favorable. Valdosta and Boston, on the
line of the Savannah, Florida and Western
railroad nave a much larger acreage i.lanted
thir year than last. Boston, Ga., has
equally as many acres in melons this year
as last. The shippers told me teat they
re. eived good returns for their melons last
year, and hence no f lling off iu acreage.
Quitman has 1,500 acres. From that por
tion of the melon country the first ship
ments were made about June 15. They
consisted of ten carloads of reen fruit.
“O : the Georgia Southern and FI rida
road I found the crops much better than
they have been for years. The acreage was
largely in excess of that of 1838, yet the
condition and quality of the vines are of an
inferior kind. Most of the growers on ihis
line of railroad are new in the business and
will do well if they average a car to six
acres. The Georgia Southern and Florid i
people expect to handle about 2,00 J car
loads ot the fruit.
“On the F.ast Tennessee and Georgia line
there are 1,500 more acres planted this year
than last. I saw no crops on any line that
would compare with that region, either in
condition or healthy appearance of the
vines. It is an established fact that there
are no lands in Georgia that will ever favor
ably compare with the lands on this road
for the production of the melon. The finest
average melons I have overseen were grown
at Town’s, Scotland's and Reid’s farms on
that line.
“The lirst carload of melons shipped to
the west went out June 14, and made the
best time yet, owing to the constantly im-
? roving railr a 1 facilities of the south. It
eft Jesup a 5:40 a. in., and re ched Cha -
tanooga at 7a. m., the next morning—400
miles m twenty-five hours. It was deliv
ered to tne L hattan ®g i, Nashville, and St.
Louis railroad at 9 a. m. that day, and the
time from Chat annoga to Chicago was
forty-eight hours, making the tota: time of
the first carload of melons to the west,
1,240 miles, in seventy-five hours. Tint is
what is making the Georgia melon raisers
happy. Melon-raising in certain sections
of the south will soon pay better than
cotton. ”
It is the rule of life to forget the kind
nesses our neighbors have done us, aud to
remember only those w) have done for
them. If the rule could be reversed, how
much better the world would be."— Boston
