At Warrenton, during a heavy rainstorm Tuesday noon, lightning struck the office chimney of the livery stable and ran down It into the ollice, litorally tearing asunder the chimney and piping that connected with the stove. There were two gentlemen and a negro in the office at the time, all of whom were uninjured, save a momentary numbness of their sensibilities, caused by the sudden and violent shock that accom panied the stroke of lightning. Athens Banner: A gentleman is tempo rarily located m Athens whose sister was OBiuted by ex-PresiUent Cleveland and was rejected by bis lady love. Afterward Mr. Cleveland married Frankie Folsom. Th re is said to be no doubt a! out the genuineness of this courtship. Tnis gentleman, whose sister made such a narrow escape from being mistress pi the white house, is verv reticent about discussing the matter, but it is said to be r . fact, nevertheless. Hon. I-rael Maples died at his home in East Miuiheil on last Monday morning in the 76tb year of his ago. Ho was a promi nent figure in tho politics of old Baker, of whi()6 Mitchell county was a part until 1858. For/yeais he was one of tho judges of the inferior court. He was a representative of Raker county or Mitchell as a member of tho house in at hast two .sessions of the legislature, and was senator during one session. Until a very few years ago he was a member of tho board of county commis sioners, and ifriiß a member of the state con stitutional convention in 1806. A party of gentlemen from Athens headed'bv Col. W. J. Morton, C. W. Bald win and Capt. J. E. Cox, have arranged to erect a summer home ou tho Chattooga river, about six miles distant from Tal lulah Falls, to which they can repair dur inglthe sultry summer monthsaud hunt,fish and wuilo away their idle hours.

He hastily descended, and reaching his office mado an examina tion of the spot where the pain was felt and found that the point of his pencil had, when he bent over, forced its way under the skin and about a half inch deep tnto the flesh. Blakely News: Louisa Johnson (colored) now languishes in the Blakely jail awaiting the result of a serious assault she made on Nancy Webb, which may probably result in the death of tho latter. Tho parlies had a fight on Monday evening, in which aney came out victorious. This tirod Louisa with a desire for revenge, so early on Tues day morning she hastened to the field, where the two worked, and awaited Nancy’s coming. When Nancy appeared to go to wurk, Louisa dealt her a terrible blow on the head with a hoe. Dr. Standi fer, who was called to see the injured woman, says her wound is serious, and he thinks her skull is fractured in two places. If this proves true, the woman will not likely recover. The Carrie Steele Orphans’ Home for colored children was organized at Atlanta Monday in the park commissioner’s office. This enterprise is due to the benevolent en ergies of a colored woman who iias devoted many months to its consummation. Maj. Sidney Root, who has been provisional treasurer of the enterprise, resigned his charge and turned over the funds to Carrie Steele-Logan, the treasurer-elect. The fuud now amounts to between SSOO and sooo,and work will begin toward the establishment of the home at once. The city council has leased five acres of land to the trustees out on the Wells property, near the stockade, and on that ground the building will be located. This beginning, though modest, is a most promising one. At Atlanta Saturday evening a well known clothier on Decatur street was try ing his best to sell a suit of clothes to a negro. The negro tried on tr.e coat and vest, and then began the usual haggle about the price. The negro offered a price that was so far telow even the speculative imaginings of the dealer that the latter grew wrathy. The negro pulled off the coat and was tinning it over looking at it, when the clothier snatched it from him, and, giving him a kick, ordered the negro to leave the house. After the negro had been gone about five minutes the dealer suddenly remembered that the negro still had on the vest. Since then he has been scanning every negro that passed, hoping to recover it. State Chemist H. C. White has accepted the Bates place, near Griffin, for tho experi mental commission, and turned it over Tuesday to the agriculturist, J. M. Kim brough, who will commence work at once. As soon as the plans for tho farm houses can be made and the contract for building made work will commenoe in earnest. Through courtesy of the commission Capt, Bates is allowed to remain at his home un til he can secure a suitable residence in town for bis family. In the superior court at Macon, Tuesday, the case of the state against Will Sanders, charged with murder, was called. This is the Warrior district case, where a number of boys were playing base ball ou Sunday and Sanders aud Byrd got into a dispute about the game and Sanders drew his little pistol He shot Byrd, who, after lingering several weeks, died at the Roff home. It was claimed by Sanders that the shooting was ao oriental, but the jury, after the evi-’ donee was all in and argument of counsel was heard, returned a verdict of voluntary manslaughter. Sanders is about 14 years old. At Warrenton Tuesday night an aged and infirm old negro man by the name of Hector Bosatick, was brutally assaulted in the Mel hodist church yard by Joe Rhodes, a burly negro boy, in an attempt to rob him of $4. The old negro had been in town to draw his pau[ier money from the county treasury, and this negro boy had seen him when ho drew it and determined to dis possess the old pauper of his paltry allow ance. On hearing approaching rapid foot stet*, the negro fled without securing the money and leaving liis victim lying on tho ground almost helpless. At Waycross Tuesday three negroes at tempted to make their escape from the county jail by overpowering Sheriff Hen derson. They seized the sheriff by the right arm and mode a desperate effort t > get him inside the jail, but he fought like a wild tiger for a few minutes until asststance arrived, when two of the negroes made a break for liberty, and succeeded in getting off some distance. They wore subsequently captured in a branch near town and re manded to jail. Sheriff Henderson had his coat torn almost off in the scuffle. In Atlanta, a few mornings since, Secre tary of State N. C. Barnett, while riding on a Capit >1 avenue street car, gave Prof. Vanslavoreo 10 cents change. The driver returned two tickets. The secretary ob jected, and the professor opened the front door of the car and yelled at the driver: “Say, there!” The professor’s voice had a peculiar and uunntural sound to it. The driver put on brakes quickly and the car came to a stop. “It's me asking you for change,” yelled the professor in tho same queer voice. The driver jumped off his car and looked down the street. Passengers caught on aud there was a general laugh. The professor ran out at the driver and told him what was wanted. As the ear started off the professor said to his fellow passen gers: “Iu my younger days I was a von triloquist, and I have a cold this morning, and when I talk loud 1 lose control of mv voice.” The secretary of state got his nickel Brunswick Advertiser: Two negroes, named Gabe and Frank, were draining a bnrrel that ha 1 contained spirituous liquor. As the last drop came out Gabo’s curiosity g it tho bet ter of him, and he concluded to see if dregs had not formed in the bung hole and stopped the whisky from flowing. The barrel was sitting on top of another, and while Gabe lit a match Frank held the cup containing about half a pint of the fluid. As Gabe stuck the match to the bung hole a terrific explosion "c'trrad, which blew tho head out of the barrel, and sent all tumbling down upon Frank, prostrating him to the Hour. As ho fell ho gave one whoop that start led the neighborhood, but strange to say wren the crowd gathered it was no ticed that he still held on to the whisky with an air of grim determination. Gabe, in tho meantime, managed to hide himself behind a pile of boxes, and emerged later, more seared than hurt. It is needless to say that he will not attempt to examine an empty whisky barrel with a lighted match again. Capt. John Milledge will now devote his whole time to the statu library, and he pro poses to make it a great institution. The state has about 60,000 volumes of law and miscellaneous books, but a small number of which have been accessible heretofore. When the seat of government was moved from Millodgeville to Atlanta, about twenty years ago, a large ma-s of hooks was brought there and stored in the fifth stoiy of the building which for t wenty yoars has answered to the name of capitol. But a small proportion of them could begotten into tho shelves of tho library, and about 40,060 volumes were packed away, and the rest, 10,000 or 12,000, wore put into the shelves down stairs. The books accumulated year by year until the total number has reached 60,000. In the new capitol shelf room will ho found for all of them, and 40,000 or 50,000 volumes, the character of which was unknown, will be systematically classified and catalogued. Tne library, which many consider the handsomest room in tho now capitol, extends through two stories dear aero s tho north end of the building and has shelf room for 20,000 volumes. The rest and by far tho largest part of the books will be kept on shelving in rooms on the basement floor. Hartwell Sun: In conversation the other day an old resideuter related this anecdote, which occurred some forty years ago. Ou Shoal creek there lived anumbsr of old-tinio gentlemen with their antique notions of life, with tho decanter of old liquors on the sideboard as the corner-stone of their far famed hospitality aud the mainstay of the domestic economy. Notwithstanding the universality of whisky drinking the churches as a rule were more rigid in dis ciplining their members for drunkenness than they are now. Among those whose membership was at Shoal creek was Judge L , aud in an unguarded moment he took "too much” and was seen drunk. The next conference promptly ap pointed a committee to visit the brother, which committee consisted of Judge P and Judge VV . At the appointed day the committee went over to visit the offender, who gave them a hearty welcome, and all took a good, old social drink, which was oft repeated during their lengthy stay. They all got on a regular “razzee,” and the committee forgot the object of their visit. The next conference called for a roport on the case, when one of the gentlemen arose and said that they had labored with the brother and were satisfied' Judge L -, who was present this time, made his state ment, and finished with the remark that if he ever got drunk again the church would do well to send to him men who were not as fond of liquor as he was himself. Athens Banner: For some time since J. B. Toomer, an enterprising sewing machine dealer, lias had two of his representatives in Greene county, and as Tomer's machines are appreciated all over this country, his men sold stacks of teem to the farmers’ wires. It seems that their large business raised the ire of some rival dealers, and lust week, at White Plains, Messrs. Dorough and Morrison w re arrested by a justice of the peaeo for paddling sewing machines without pavihg a county license. Tney ex plained the law to this officer and lie dis missed tho agents. But before they left town Mr. Mapp, the tax collector of Greene, came forward and lovied on both wagon and teams, for a license of $25 each, ami refused to release the property until Mr. Toomer was notified, wren ho’readily gave bond. Mr. Toomer will now enter a damage suit against the tax collector and his bondsmen for interfering in an unlawful manner with his business, and also for the loss he lias entailed by tho detention of his teams. Under the laws of Georgia a sewing machine a ß ent must pay a tax of $25 for each county ho canvasses, but it is simply a debt, and no penalty is prescribed by the Code for its non-payment. The only re dress that a tax collector has is to levy upon aud sell property belonging to the’ agent himself In this caso Mr. Toomer owned the teams, and of course his private prop erty could not be held responsible for the debts of other parties. You had as well try to levy upon and sell Mr. Mapp’g hous > and lot for the taxes of his cook or any other employe, Mr. Toomer has ernplove.l the best legal talent in At ens, a:id says he will spend any reasonable sum of money to secure his rights. Mr. Mapp doubtless thought that he had the right to make this levy, but lawyers say that he is mistaken, and that Mr. Toomer has a good damage case egaiuit him ana his bvudsmeo, THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, JULY 4, 1889. FLORIDA. Lakeland tobacco growers are gathering anil housing their Crops, Gadiden-county raised apples are now plentiful, and are of good quality. The Fort Myers hunters are agreed that bird plume and ’gator bunting is played out for tuis season. Col. VV. G. Ponce died at his residence at St. Augustine Monday,of a com plication of diseases, iu the 55th year of bis age. Mr. Morrill, who has been filling the pul pit in tho First Presbyterian church, Pa latka, since January, preached his farewell sermon last Sunday. G. W. Papot has sold to B. F.

The Jacksonville Times-Union says the sentiment of the people in different sections of the state is overwhelmingly opposed to the scheme to aunex West Florida to Ala bama. Car sheds are being built for the Florida Southern railway ou the lot at Palatka, formerly occupied by Biaiue Bros., c.r works. It wid lie large enough to hold all the passenger coaches of the road at one time. H. G. Brooks of DeLand left Thursday with a crew of men for Lake Apopka, where he has tne contract for moving a 58- foot boat from that lake to St. Petersburg for the Orange Belt railway. John O'Donovan has resigned the office of inspector of customs at Pensacola which he has held since Mr. McGuiro was given the local colleotorship, aud John IClumker has been appointed iu his stead. J. E. Lucas of I’nlatka has a contract to build a dock for Mr. Johnson, at Moon stone, down the river, to bo 150 feet loug, with a bulkhead 20 by 30 feet. He also has the contract to build a large lumber docit for tho Tilghmans at their mill iu the cove. A young son of John J. Berry of Apa lachicola was scalded by hot water a day or two ago. He was in the rear of the ice house fishing,and the steam escaping from a pipe connected with the boiler of the ice house and running out on the wharf escaped suddenly and scalded him. As the pilot boat was crossiug the bar at St. Augustine on Saturday ou its way out to the schooner Caroline Ilall, a big sea struck the bows and overbalancing Dan Allen, who was steering, threw him over board. Luckily ho held on to the tiller lihcs and after being towed a short way was hauled ou board none the worse for his ducking. The total* cash receipts at the custom house at Pensacola during tho fiscal year ending Juue 30 were $25,328 91. Tho ex penses during the same period wore $17,- 757 08. The number of vessels entered was 622. The number of vessels cleared w. s 603. The exports iu timber and lumber we: e 318,318,800 superficial feot. The value of foreign exports was $3,480,809. The value of coastwise shipments was $267,345. Tho value of imports was $37,361 61. The books now show the number of vessels em ployed m traffic iu Pensacola bay to be — sail 106, steam 21. It is related of the British steamship Fog cilia, which left Pensacola about last July for a port in Great Britain, that but four of tho men then composing the crew are now living. The Pensacola health authori ties refused to allow the vessel’s approach to the city because of a case of chagros fever which appeared on board of her when she came iu. She w r as loaded across the bay. Her then boatswain is now on board of a vessel now at Pensacola, and be it is from whom the information comes that all but four of her crew, the latter not in cluding the captain or second mate, con tracted tho disease which proved fatal to them. Eustis Lake Region: Charley Means (col ored) was up before Mayor Ross yesterday ou tho complaint of his w.fe for maltreat ment. They brought one witness with them, who t 'Stifled that the so-called fight ing was mutual, and resulted in nothing more than the tearing off of the clothes trom the participants. Tho witness testified that sho considered the fracas but a frolic. Tho charge was not sustained. As Moans took up his hat lo go he said to his wife: "Mary, l’s done with you now; I’s clar througn. Judge, just give her a divorce.” Mary replied that she “didn’t care; she wus tired of married blifs nohow.” Tanipa Tribune: "Did you know that ants would make lemonade?” said a Bridge stroet grog r to a Tribune man the other day. * They will, for 1 have seen them do it several times. Tne other day I left a slice of lemon on the counter, and there happened to be some sugur not far off, and directly I noticed tho ants carrying the sugar to the lemon juice. I thought it was rather queer, as well ns cute, and to tost the matter have triod it several times by put ting a pieeo of lemon on the counter and placing some sugar near by, and the ants never fail t > carry the sugar to the lemon. What do you think of that now? It is an absolute fact.” Just a little over four years ago the first clearing was made and tho first house built where Ohipley, in Washington couuty, now stands. Then there was nothing but pine and cypress trees to meet the eye of the passer by; but now there is a place of be tween 1,000 and 1,200 inhabitants, who, by their energy and hard work, have succeeded in transforming a part of the great forest into a beautiful littlo city. The town has 16 large busiuess houses, 2 good hotels, 1 restaurant, 2 elegant churches, 2 well graded schools, 2 blacksmith shops, 3 large saw mills, 3 grist mills, a well-equipped cooper shop, 2 cotton gins, a well-stocked livery stable, a milliuery and dressmaking establishment, a spring bed factory, a Ma sonic lodge, an Independent Order of Good Templars organization, and ground has been broken for a large guano factory and saw mill combined. A writer in the Sanford Journal says: “While in Augusta, Ga., recently, I had tho pleasure of seeing the five living genera tions of that city. Thoy are kin folks of mine, and I will tail you who they are, and ask if it can he boat or equaled south of Mason and Dixon’s line; 1. Mrs. Jane Butler, 90 years old. 2. Her daughter, Mrs. I. V. Tarver, 60 years old. 3. Her daughter, Mrs. Fantiio Tarver Doolittle, 40 years old. 4. Her daughter, Mrs. Georgia Doolittle Richards, 20 years old; 5. Her daughter, Cleve Richards, 1 month old at this writ ing, a bouncing fine baby. This is not all, it occurred in the same family twenty years ago when Mrs. Butler's mother was living, of which the family has pictures, and hope soon to have pictures of the present five generations. They are all fine, healthy ladies, and some of the five very pretty and bid fair to keep up the series of five genera tions for a long time to come.” There are now in the Escambia county jail seventeen prisoners. Of these five are serving out sentences. The remainder, with two exceptions, are awaiting trial by the criminal court. The exceptions are federal prisoners. One of the latter is R. C. Cocke, who passed himself off to the people of De- Funiak and other places as a deputy col lector of internal revenue, swindllug quite a number of them out of various small sums. The other is oue of the moonshiners recently cantured at Bluff Springs. Unless the cutting of Hantou the other dav should result fatally, there is but one inmate of the jail against whom a homicide is charged. That one is Isaac Crosby (colored), who fired a pistol bullet into his wife’s brain a few mouths ago. He waived examina tion at the time and there has been no ses sion of the grand jury since the killing.oc curred. It may be questioned whether Crosby killed his wife, since the woman lived for some weeks after the shooting, and recovered so far that she was able to travel to Evergreen, Ala., whore she died, no sibly from any other cause than the bullet. J. P. Pratt, civil engineer, has a five column article in the Gre-n Cove Spring on the Caffali ship canal route. The course taken when making the preliminary s irvey, was from deep water at the extremity of boat channel in the Gulf if Mexico, near Cedar Keys, through trestle No. 4 <>f the Fiorbla Railway and Navigation railroad, thence through the gri at Gulf hummock, cypress swamps and ii woods for thirty four ami a half miles to the l'< ot of sand hills, where tho course changes from i.orth 63* eeat to north H'a J 20’ east; thence the line runs through Wacahcota hummock, Moore’s pond. Lake Tas caviile, Urange lak,lLuke Lochio-'-a, and on to Rice creek just north of Sauble, thence down the oreek and St. John’s river to Moccasin branch on the east bank of the St. John’s; thence, keeping on the south of St. Augustine to Deep Water channel and the Atlantic ocean. The length of this line is miles, or seventy miles less than it would be if carried down the St. John’s river aud out to the ocean by way of Jack sonville. The cost of the necessary excava tions is estimated at $6.095,000. Palatka Herald: It will be remembered that the governor notified the sheriff of Putnam by letter, that he would i-suo the death warraut of Jim Austin at once, and fix the time of his execution for Thursday, Aug. 1. Austin knew nothing of this, and has been expecting all tho while that some thing would trauspu e by which this terrible death could be avoided. Saturday after noon Jailer Phillips gave the murderer a copy of the Evening Herald containing the news of his execution, hich is fixed for Aug. 1. When the doomed man laid eyes upon the paragraph, be burst out iu a loud laugh, and wanted to know on wliat day Aug. 1 came. Ho was informed that it ca i e oil a Thursday, and then he laughed again. Austin has never thought of pro paring himself for the other world, but has laughed at any such idea. He is a very bad character, and looks upon death as be ing something amusing. As time draws near for his execution he may change. Austin is confined to a cell alone, and is not permitted to mingle with the other prison era It is believed that he will he banged in the jail yard if the authorities do not order the execution to take place w ithin the walls of the jail house. An adjourned se#ion of the United States court, J udge Swayne presiding, was opened at Jacks invilM, Monday; a decree was ren l tiered in the ease of the Ueutral Trust Com pany of New York agai st the Tavares. Apopka and Gulf Railroad Company, over ruling exceptions to the report of Special Master Philip Walter wherein the claim of Ambler and Taliaferro regarding sixty bonds filed by them representing $60,000 principal and $10,575 liitere-.r' was con firmed.

The Pensacola News contains the follow ing fuller account of a kidnaping already alluded to iu a special dispatch to the Morning News: "Friday morning at 6 o’clock Martin Hernandez, aged ab nit 13 {ears, was driving in from Seven Mile louse. In the buggy was the boy’s aunt, Miss Caroline, a sister of John Collins, the barlier. As the pair neared the Brewten place, about threo miles from town, they met a man followed by a little child who was crying. They could not tell whether the chil lwas a male or female. The man spoke to Miss Collins, calling her by a cer tain name. The young lady replied, saying that was not her name. The man then told her that sho was 'a liar;’ that ho knew who she was. Becoming frightened at tho man’s looks and words. Mils Collins directed her companion to drive ahead, and they were soon away from the spot. At some distance farther on thev overtook ex-Policeman Tom Burns, wio asked them if they had seen a man with a little child on their journey. Burrs wes walking toward iho city. Ho was informed of tho fact that a man and a child were some distance bans, going the other way. Burns became frantic aud exclaimed, “My God! that’s my child,” He asked tho pair in the buggy to go back with him, nffcri g them a dollar if they would do so, but they were too thoroughly frightened to think of such a thing. Burns then started after the man and child on a double-quick, since which time no more has been heard of the parties. Burns and three of his children are inmates of the county poor house.” Any one accustomed to much reading must be familiar with the paleness of tho ink used in English books during the latter part of the last century and the beginning of tho present, writes a contributor to Notes and Queries. I had always at tributed the fact to want of good material, but from a passage in Franklin’s let ei s it appears that the paleness was intentionally produced. Franklin (himself a working printer), writing to Noah Webster in 1789, speaks of a "tancy that gray printing is more b autiful than black; hence the English new books are printed in so dim a characte ■ as to bo read with difficulty by old eyes.” CUTICURA REMEDIES, ECZEMA CANJE CUBED.
