Augusta Chronicle: A highly sensational case Uas just leaked out. It began with the same old story—woman’s trustfulness and man’s perfidy. For some time post a young railroad man—a braketnau—has made his headquarters at a certain boarding house in the city. The young aud pretty daughter of the boarding mistress fell desperately in love with the dashing railroader, and very soon the mother discovered that he had taken uufnir advantage of her.

The suit was brought by Hunter for alleged libeL This removes the case from the United Strtes court for the North cm district of Georgia, to which court the Press association transferred it from the city court Its settlement ends a case which would have brought out some very interest ing point* in libel law as to who is directly ros j. op.-.

Hunter, thinking the article libelous, en tered suit against the association, claiming SIO,OOO damages. •Jn last Saturday the Banks county board of education met at the court hous • to h -nr ad determine a novel question of dimute botwe-n two county teachers. The case was between C. N. Briggs, teacher at Sliver Siioals, and C. A. Meeks, teacher at Griffin’s school house. Briggs is a student at Mercer university, and is a popular young minister in Banks county. A school was made for him at Silver Shoals while bo was at Macon, but through a inisundei - standing a number of the patrons of his school w ere induced to believe that e would not return to take charge of his school, and sub-cribed to Meeks’. Briggs came and opened school at Silver Shoals and Meeks opened at Griffin’s. '1 his caused a conflict, ml the matter wai referred to Rev. J. D. Gunnels, school commissioner. After investigation ho decided that the scholars enrolled in Mr. Meeks’ schorl, through the above inn-understanding, be lli iged to Briggs. From this decision Mr. ■Meeks appealed t > the b ard of education, and employed I'. M. Edw rds, while Mr. llriggs retained H ui. A. P, Wofford. After a full hearing of all the facts in tho case, the board sustained the decision of the com missioner, and also authorized Meeks to go on with his school. For sometime past bad blood lias been be tweun some of the members of Bethel col ored church of Americus and their pastor, Kev. Munson. The parson had held full s \ay over tho church ever since the noted Jiuper Strong was dethrone 1, and the mere mention of calling a nother preac her brought to- th the indignation of the parson and his followers. On account of differing with them, two dean >ns ninl two common every day members were expelled fr in the church. One night last week a conference was hold, when the question of calling an other preacher was brought up. This was ho signal for a general melee, and could only be stopped by sending for the police, who soon arrived and ettled tho question thi.t night, as it was gettii g al mg toward th e small hour-. However, another meet ing was call and the next night, when tho scenes of (he previous evening were re peated. The inaver has threatened to dose t!iedoors of the church if the fust is nut stopped. Ju t how the matt r stands at present is hard to state, ns those who are the poison’s friends hold the fort, while his ene mies are kept out. During tho time the brethren and sisters were swinging corners the other night, some evil-disposed person tapped the parson on the head, which caused him to sit for awhile anil watc i the ball. On Wednesday last Walter McKie (colored) was arrested and committed to jnil charged wish entering the house of Henry Green of Maysviile, and stealing some flour and other ar'icles from tho house. When 1 ho negro entered l lie house ho carried with him an ax, presumably to kill Green’s wife, w hich was found standing near the bed. Green was telegraphed, and upon his return ho becarn- so enraged that he de termined to kill tho negro, a id came into town last Saturday and obtained per mission from Sheriff Scoggins to enter the jail. As soon as ho caught sight of tile negro no drew his pistol and demanded of tiio uegrohis reasons f neutering his house. He confessed tho crime, and said he went in to get some things. Immediately Gr. on cocked his pistol and presented it at the negro, when tobuiff Scoggins sprang for ward and interfered, ami by this timely aid tho negro’s life was saved. The negro com menced praying and continued to pray for an hour or more, ami fell upon the call floor in a heii loss and apparently lifeless condition. Dr. Lockhart was called in and pronouced the case one of ecstacy, or hysteria, which is common among cjiored people during excitement. He remained iu ibis condition all night and re fused to swalloy, or speak, or even to move. Ou Sunday morning the doctor returned and l ad the prisoner takou out a id placed under the pump in the jail yard. The hose was directed upon his head and a full stream turned ou. Tho effect was icstnutane us almost. lie Immediately recovered his powers of locomotion and speech, and de clared that he was all right. But the doc tor believed iu water, and the stream con tinued to flew until the negro begged to be taken hack into hi cell, lie then ato break fast and was all right. St. Simon’s correspondence Atlanta Con stitution: One day a monster of the deep wns drugged ashore in n seine. No one present, nut even the seiners, could tell its name. We afterward learned from an old keeper of the light, house that it was a whiprig. It was over four feet across, a foot thick, and had a tail tsn feet long. The i ail was about the size of the smaller part of a buggy whip, black, very flexible, aud nearly the same size throughout its length. This caudal appendage to armed near its root with four dreadful spears or stings, the poison of which is said to be nearly nr quits fatal. Tiiis queer creature had a livet-col ored skin that was as tough a leather. It had two immense lotos or wings, a head somewhat like that of a frog, only more tapering, und the mouth was uulerneatd like Unit of a shar„. It hud two lit le round yellow eves, one on oaoh >ide of its head, ami two spout holes oq top. This mo star must have weighed 200 or 300 pounds. It was scarcely’ a fish, but seemed rather to be between a sea cow and a whale. After being caught and dragged ashore it gave birth to three little whiprigs. Our lighthouse informant a’so said tUat some distance below tiiis place where a certain creek empties into the ocean, and the waves are weak, a hun dred of these peculiar animals could some times be seen digging holes in tho sand aud wallowing in ti e shallow water. He said he had seen them !4 feet across with tails twenty-three feet long lie had caught them with a hook ami line by driving a stake in the ground, t > which a verv stout line was tied aud the teited hook thrown out. When a whiprig was caught he would make a fearful effort to break tho line. Finding this futile, he would sink t> the bottom, suck his groat wings or Hoppers to the sand and remain therefor four or five hours against nny exertions to pull him away. Finally, weakened aud exhausted lie gives up, rises to the surface and is Uuuled ashore. FLORIDA. Ben Herndon (colored) of Apalachicola died Wednesday nigut with locked bowels. Near Apalachola last Monday a lady pas senger on tue steamer Lotus gave birth to an heir. Dr. Thomas' stable at Gainesville was broken into Sunday night ami a quantity of harness stolen.

It will show Savannah as she is; h r wonderful growth and prosperity, and the business done by the heavy merchants of tho place. Tne typographical appear anco of the edition will be just the thing that that office can turn out. The guava canning and orange wino fac tory at the head of Orange avenue, U lando, was burns 1 Monday afternoon. T..e building was struck by lightning, and in a tew minutes was almost entirely consumed. The building is said to have contained 2,000 gallons of orange wine. Both the building a .and the contents are said to have been fully covered by insurance. Maj. R. Walpole, ex-oditor of the Sumter villo Times , and an official in t;e revenue department at Key West, has been notified that his services will not be required in that office. No charges were preferre l against him, but ho was removed simply because ha was a democrat. He received his ap pointment under President Cleveland’s ad ministration and has held is less than a year.

He found on the bur proper from 15 to 16 feet at mean tide, but in one tend in the chan nel, inside the bar, for a short distance, there was le-s t an that, hut he says that it is capable of improvement with very little exnense, H also said that an outlay of $ l ed,ooo would make it tho best harbor south of Port Royal. He found deep water all tho way from tho inlet to the railroad wharf He has had lurgo oxperionce with jetties, having been iu charge of the im provements at tho mouth of the Mississippi river for several years. Two of the unusually quiet and law-abid ing citizens of Geneva created quite a breeze u few days ago b v trying to do the Hullivan-Kilrnin act. The parties are near neighbors, living on adjoining lands. A feeling not very neighborly had existed be tween the two for some time, and Saturday evening they chanced to meet in the put.lic road, when one accosted the other with a view to a settlement of their differences. Both parties being on* horseback they alighted, aud deliberately secured their horses to the fence. A war of words failed to adjust matters, but Jed to blows, and a regular old-fas:none! list aud rough and tumble fight followed. The contest was quite lively for several minutes, when mutual friends interfered, and separated the belligerents. There was none Lut na ture’s weapons brought to bear, but the "wine” (lowed pretty freely, and bloody faces aiul a black eve were the result. Evi dently tho stuie of feeling between the parties has not been improved by the meet ing, and it may be that the end is not yet. C. L. Porter of South Lake Woir lias for some time been laboring with certain parties m Michigan to locate ou his land, lmif way between Lake Weir aud Suuimerfielil station, a erase factory run on new and im proved ideas. Tho arrangements have tioen made, and T. P. Pomeroy of Three Oaks, Mich., in company with turee other gentle men, are now on the spnt placing in position several carloads of machinery, which in a short, time will he turning out nil kinds of fruit crates and boxes, from a new patent invented by Mr. Pomeroy, which is to take the raw pine aud put it through a steaming process, turn the cooked lumber into sidings of the required length and width, from which a perfectly round crate or box can be constructed, auii of any : iza from that of au orange to a strawberry box. It is further said that this peculiar shaped box or crate has great advantages in sbippingover the square crate in tho way of admitting ventilation, winch in a car packed tviih round orates, permits the air to circu late iuto ev.rv nook anil corner of the ear. The project is looked upon as an important one by the fruit interests of Florida, and desirable results are anticipated by shippers using these new crates. Apalachicola Times: “A few days ago,” says Tom D. Johnson, "I was wading through a swamp up near the ‘Horseshoe,’ in water as high up as my waist. I spied an alligator some distance from me. Having al ready passed several I did not pay any at tention to this 1 How, but presently he dived and came up within a few feet of m -, oomi g at me with open mouth. I ratooa my gun to my shoulder and fired. The shot did not take any effect, nor did it stop him. I then ra sed my guu aud using it as a club, struck at him but missed him, and came near losing my balance. Not having time to shoot again, I jumped he hind a tree, aud just as X got be uiud the tree, tho 'gator struck at me, and hit the tree so hard that he was turned com pletely over, aud the waves from hm fall came noar upsetting me. A3 soon as he righted lie came at me again. I again eluded him by jumping behind the tree. Wo indulged in this practice for some little time, w lieu finally 1 caught hold of an over hanging limb amt drew myself up into the tree just in time to miss the ’gawds jaw . YViian l got up the tree I loaded my rille mid shot the ’gator. He wis one of the large-it ’gators 1 ever saw in this section. He was all of 12 feet in length. I never before thought au alligator would attack a man.” MEDICAL. Herrons Prcstraiioiic OO prevalent, especially among women, 8-J results from overtaxing tho system. The assimilative organs becoming de ranged, the blood grows weal: and im poverished, and hence “ that tired feel ing” of which many complain. For all such cases, there is no remedy equal to Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. Take no other. “ Some time ago I found my system entirely run down. I had a feeling of constant fatigue and languor and very 1 ittle ambition for any kind of effort. A friend advised me to try Ayer’s Sarsa parilla, which I did with tlie best re sults. It has done me more good than all other medicines I have ever used.” Frank Mellows, Chelsea, Mass. “For months I was afflicted with nervous prostration, weakness, languor, general debility, and mental depression. By purifying the blood with Ayer's Sarsaparilla, I was completely cured.” Mrs. Mary Stevens, Lowell, Mass.
