6 GEORGIA AND FLORIDA. NEWS or THE TWO STATES TOLD IN PARAGRAPHS. Killed While Digging a Wine Cellar- A Fatal Cutting Affray at Jefferson —A Bush for an Uncla.med Tract of Land Supposed to Contain a Gold Mine—A Sleeping Car Sensation. GEORGIA. There is talk of organizing a fair associa tion in Ware county. Charles Thomas has been sentenced to be banged at Griffio Oct. 11. Work on the new Baptist church at Jack •on will be commenced shortly. It i now sixty-fire days to the opening of the next Georgia .State fair at Macon. In Hen cock county Saturday, two negroes, Tom Warren and Clare oca John son, became involved in a difficulty. In which Johnson was shot and killed by Warren. Trenton furnishes thirteen young school ruarms to the surroundi g country. There are fire widows living between Trenton and Risi g Fawn, a distance of eight miles. All of them own good farms. CoL George AV. Huguley, a prominent planter and citizen of Troup county, died suddenly Saturday. He distinguished him self for bravery on many hard fought battlefields in the late war. Taylor Davenport, formerly of Chattooga countv, now of Cherokee county, Alabama, owns 280 acres of land near Valley Head, for which he has refused $l5O [>er acre. There is a valuable lead mine on it. Rev. R. T. Goodruin of Valdosta last week sold to Col. Miller A. Wright the ex cellent business site on Main 6treet at Ce dartown, now occupied by Bunn & Co.’s grocery store. The price paid was $2,250. A reduction of $1 on SI,OOO in county taxes was made by the commissioners of Terrell county a' their last mooting. If allowed to remain this would have been more than enough to build the new court bouse. Saturday evening the Centra! trnin from Atlanta knocked a 2-year-old negro child off the track at Beasly crossing, near Macon. The child was hurled twenty yards away into the bushes, but was only elightly hurt. Near Zebulon Saturday two farmers, neighbors, McCord and Nichols, got. into a difficulty while working the road, and the result was Nichols was cut in tin 1f a dozen places. Some of the wounds are bad, but not serious, so the physician says. At Mount Airy, Saturday, Jim Sellers was accidentally killed while digging a wine cellar for Mr. Funk. He had gone down about eight feet, and while working in the bottom it caved in on him, and he must have been killed instantly. An almost fatal cutting affray occurred at Jefferson Friday night. K insou Duke, a regular masher, had been playing the dev otee to William Watson's daughter, and been forbidden to come about the place, but had defied the command and went any way. A difficulty arose and Duke cut Watson se verely, if not fatally. One of Dawson’s colored washer women eats about a pound of common clay every day. She is now 50 years old, and has kept up the habit from childhood. No results are noticeable from the practice, except that she is fat and healthy, and attends to her duties with the regularity of clock work. A difficulty occurred in Elberton Satur day night between two neg oes—Wyatt Geter and Harrison Wright— in winch Harrison cut Wyatt’s threat. Wyatt may recover, but it is doubtful. The cutting was done with a razor. Harrison has escaped, but it is thought lie will be captured. Much excitement prevails among the colored peo- Ble, and the white people are taking a vely interest in the matter. Near Hemphill, Saturday, there was a serious shooting affray between Thou.as and Will Wilson. They were both colored men. They were snapping their pistols at each other. As Will walked off Thomas snapped bis pistil again. It fired and hit Will between the shoulders. Dr. Wilson says the spinal cord is affected, and the wound may prove fatal. Both parties claim that it was accidental. A former Maconite wants to give that city a real curiosity. The gentleman’s name is AVallace, aud he now resides in Brunswick. Several days ago, while soin iug with a party, he c night a water turk y, an aquatic bird resembling a jielican, hut much smaller. The binl, since being in con finement, has grown quite tame. Mr. Wal lace wishes to give the bird to the city for Central City park or else for Crump’s park. The bird is said to boa curiosity. The Oedartown Lumber Company last week bought of Messrs. Face and Herbert two lots lying south and east of their plan ing mill. This purchase will give the com pany 500 feet of railroad frontage. The company are about to erect upon oeo of these lots two large tacks, containing2o,ooo gallons each, for the purpose of supplying their works with an abundant supply of water. They w ill also furnish water for the Chattanooga, Rome and Columbus railroad, and will be prepared also to supply private parties. James M. Hweat, postmaster at Bolen, in Ware county, has just returnoi from Orangeburg, S. C.. where ho went to con vey a man by the name of Boyett, who is charged with murder. He received a re ward of SIOO and all his expenses in carry ing the man. The unfortunate fellow was going by the name of Yates, aud had been boarding at Sweat’s. He left an open letter lying on his table, from which Sweat learned that he was a fugitive from justice, and on being questioned with reference to the matter, acknowledged the killing. An enthusiastic meeting in Washington Wednesday night secured forty-six names to anew military company which will be armed by Adjutant Kell as “Irvia Guard.” There will probably bo sixty men. One of the three e unpauies of Wiikes in the civil war went out as the “Irvin Guard,” bu were made artillery, when the name was changed ta “Irvin Artillery.” They went through all the great Virginia battles as well as Gettysburg and Sharpsburg, ami still exist as a body of confederate veterans. The name is in honor to I. T. Irvin, who represented Wilkes in the legislature and was speaker of the house. I. T. lrviu was killed by a steamboat accident in Texas in 1858 or 1859. To his sou, Charles Irvin, General Toombs’ escape in 1565 was due. In Carroll county there is a tract of land for which no owner can bo found. Tho tract embraces unity-four and one-half acres of land and is a fractional part of land lot No. 107 in the ninth district of tho county. When the land in this section was given out or sold about 1831, this strip, which is next to the Alabama line, was left untaken. For some unexplained reason this land has remained unoccupied, and no notice has been taken of it until within the last two weeks. About a dozen people from Carroll county have been into the secretary of state’s office asking about the land, aud one of them offered Ben Davis, one of the clerks, SIOO if he could find any record of its being given or sold. The record could not be found, so the secretary of state will order the sheriff to sell the land at public outcry to the highest bidder. Laud iu that section is worth about #lO an acre, but it is thought gold has been discovered on this strip, which accounts for the anxiety of so many to find traces of its being sold! Last Friday one week ago the Macon Furniture company filed a creditor's bill against J, W, Ford, the well-known fur niture dealer, aud Judge Gustin appointed Carl Dohn temporary receiver. Pending a final hearing, things grow complicated. Ford produoed an instrument bv which he attempted to show that “is wife had a prior claim to his effects. W. G. Ford and Summer*, clerks for the ex-pedestrian, also brought into court a paper purporting to show that on June 26 last they had purceased from tbeir employer $2,000 worth of accounts lor which they paid him SO9, an i hail in tbeir possess.on tlia books, etc., c ntainiug the accounts. AVhen the order appointing the temporary reoei ver was iaued.it order* i everything turned over to ban, including the hooks and accounts. Thcs ■ Ford and Summers refused to give up, and a rule for contempt was brought by the attorneys filing the original bill. George Kpps inter fered with the seeeiver when a horse, be longing to Ford, was about to be taken charge of aud prevented the act. For this he was in cluded in the motion for the rule. Mutters were further aggravated by an application for a h meetead filed by J. AV. For i. A\ . Ford, AV. G. Ford, Ed Summers and George Epp were adjudged guilty of contempt J. AV. Ford was given the privilege of pay ing s3oor of going to jail for ten days; Iv. G. Ford and Ed Summers were a->ge<l to coatrioute $25 each or g> to jail for five days; George Epps was offered the choice of paying $5 or going to jail for throe days. All " ent to jail. The Fourth Georgia cavalry bad a lively reunion at Dalton Saturday. Tnis plucky lit le organization in the war had a bright career. Th regiment had an ariuous and continual ee vice, it comprise i, first and las , over 1,500 men, aud participated in fully Ilk) battles aud engagements, and the fact tnat but fifty-eight men were sur rendered atte-ts to the severity of its war fare and gallantry and patriotic devotion of Its members. The nucleus of the regi ment was a sc uting company called the GeorgD M untnin Drag ions, organ irad Nov. 1, 18G1, with Colonel I. AV. Avery a3 captain. In August, 1802,the company was increased to a battali >ti of five companies, known as the Twentytthird battalion Georgia cavalry. This battalion was increased to a regiment, the Fourth Georgia cavalry, and organised November 18412, witn J. W. Avery as colonel. In all tho bloodiest battles of the western con federate armv, the F urth Georgia fought; at C'lncaniauga, Dalton, Resaca, O mta naula, Konriesaw, Atlanta, Jonesboro, to Savannah, through Carolina to Bentonvllle. lu numerous raids it rode through Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama and Geor gia. It made the circuit of Hosecrans’ army, while at Chattanooga. Finally it surrendered with Gen. Joseph E. Johnston. Its commander, Cos). I. AV. Avery, now a mild-mannered, pleasant, hard-working man, tssaid to liave boea one of the most dashing and fearless commanders of the war. So full of pluck ana tmlduess was he that one of his soldiers declared "Col. \vury would light a rattlesnake through a fauce-ooruer and then let the reptile have first lunge.’ At Atlanta Saturday an elegantly dressed arid handso no brunette boarded tho sleep ing car of the Georgia fast train. By her side sat a colored woman of gingorcake hue equally its handsomely dressed. Both held tickets for Augusta. VVheu the conduc tor passed through the <ar to take up the faro tho brunette asked that her colored companion bo allowed to ride in ttie sleeping car with her. Conductor Wages told the woman that a car in front was fitted up for colored pooplo, and ho had no authority to allow her companion to ride in the sleeper. The information was quietly re ceived, and tho col ored woman arose and went forward to the car indicated as the one she should ride in. To the surprise of the other passengers, the handsome brunette followed her colored fried, hag and bag gage. That a white lady should quietly resign her seat in a sleeping car where other white ladies were riding to ride in a negro car with a negro was thought to be something decidedly new under the south ern sun. Severn! passengers left their scats and wedt t ► the colored people’s car to in vestigate tho si i nation. Sure enough thore sat tho brunette by the side of her colored cotnpani in, con versing witti as much composure us if sue had been born that way. Mrs. Can field's recent strictures on tho south led some to believo that the brunette was she. But tho Augusta Chronicle's correspondent spoiled the sensation. He, too, went to in vestigate tho matter, and found that tho brunette was a very bright mulatto girl raised in Sparla. After having graduated at one of the negro colleges in Atlanta, she married one Warren L gan, the colored treasurer of the normal school at Tuskegoe, Ala. Her companion was a teacher in the Morris-Brown colored college, and called herself Mrs. A. D. Cary. Tile two were on* route to .Augusta, where they have been engage. 1 to teach in tho Peabodv institute. Death has deprived the legislature of oue of its brightest young members, Hon. Lewis Arnheim, of Dougherty county. Mr. Arnheini died at Atlanta Sunday afternoon, atiput 2:30 o’clock, at the resilience of his lather-iu-law, Hon. David Mayer. Ho passed peacefully away, surrounded by Ins nearest and dearest friends, among them his wife aud two children. Everything that human hands could do was done to make the sick man’s last hours peaceful, and when the end came it was as a peaceful sleep. Mr. Arnheim’s death was not sud den or unexpected. Ho has lieon ill for mouths past, and for the last two weeks lias been confined to ins bed, gradually sinking, all the time under the hand of that human destroyer—consumption. Just previous to the meeting of tne legislature Mr. Arnheim re. u mod from Colo rado, where he had gone for the benefit of his health. Since the opening of the session ho lias boon able to bo at bis post only portion of "the time, and not at all for about two weeks past. He was fully conscious of his condi tion, and was ever thoughtful and careful not to hasten the end! Mr. Arnheim’s home was iu Albany, but his death will be felt throughout the state, and oven across tho seas, for ho was a native of Germany. He came to America iu 1886, taking up his residence in Alabany. He was essen tially a self-made man,rising from a penni less aud friendless boy to oue of the fore most men of the state. Shortly after lo cating in Albany he began tho study of law at odd timea while working in the capacitv of clerk in a grocery store. On being ad mitted to the bar in Albany lie formed a partnership with Gen. Wright, continuing with him for some yeors, then associating himself with CoL Waters, being a member of tho firm of Arnheim & Waters at ttie time of his death. Ho was an eloquent and forcible speaker,' anil possessed that rare quality of m iguetism which sways the masses by its touch. Mr. Anaheim's career iu the legis lature has been a useful a.ul brilliant one. At the time of his death he was serving ;,is second term. Both times he was the unanimous choice of his county, and had he Jived would no doubt have occupied mauv high positions of honor ana trust. During his first term in the legislature Mr. Arnheim made him self famous by his eloquent and sturdy op position to the convict lease system. He was a member of a number of the most prominent coramittees of the house, a id was a valuable quantity in them all. Mr. Arnheim was in his thirty-seventh vear, in the vigor of his usefulness, which makes’ hi* death all the more sad. His illness dates from a severe cold, contracted while deliv ering a s(s-ech about a year ago. Mr. Aru licim married Miss Ida Mayer, the eldest daughter of Hon. David Mayer, of Atlanta. H.s wife and two children, a boy and girl, survive him, and were at his side when he parsed away. The iuteruient took place at Oakland cemetery yesterday afternoon at 3:30 o’clock. FLORIDA.

Saturday night Ingram Fletcher, who lives on Rock Lake, about 1 % tntles east of Orlando, had his chicken n ost robbed of fifty fowls, most of them being of tho pure Plymouth Rnek breefi, and were highly priz and. It Is believed that there is an or ganized band of chicken thieves in the locality. Two colored sharpers, who were in San ford a day or or two ago, passed off on one of the little' Pronger boys, at their fruit stand, a $5 confederate bill, receiving in change $4 80 in good money. The fraud was not discovered until Saturday, and the negroes are doubtle s operating their scheme in other fields by this time.

At Pensacola Friday Olja Pettersen, a lad about 18 years of age, was sent up to do some work on the maiuyard of the Norwe gian bark Sylvia.

On the morning of Aug. 17 John R. Kirkland, postmaster at Saussy, and sev eral of the boys of the town were taking a bath in Box creek, near town. They saw a snake swimming across the lake, which they took to be water tnocCasin, which is very common and harmless in these parts. Kirk land caught the snake by the tail, and, swinging it around, kuoctaed its brains out against a railroad cross-tie. Great was his surprise to find that he had killed a rattle snake about three feet long, with three rattles and a button on his tail. Burntorville Times: This paper will take esuecial delight in publishing all marriages and birth notices free of charge, if they are handed in at the proper time. A wedding notice usually souuus fiat after the parties have been man led for three or four weeks, and the fond husband has begun eatiug cold meals and the connection between his sus[>eiHler aud pantaloons is effected bv means of nails. Nor is it desirable to pub lish a birth notice after the child is weaned and old enough to set the house on fire or walk up and reach the lye cup from the fourth buttery shelf. Deputy Sheriff T. D. Rivers, when taking dinner in to the prisoners confined iu the county jail at Green Cove Spring, a day or two ago, had a quantity of lime thrown into his face and eyes by a pris oner named Lee Harrison.

There were three bosides Harrison. 'An alarm was j given amis eriff Foeler with posse started eff m pursuit of the runaways. Three of them were eaptured in a thicket bordering Governor’s cr.ek, but Harrison, who threw the lime, is still at large.
