A FIGHT AT THE CAPITOL.
SECRETARY HARRISON AND MR.
HUMPHREY s' FQUaRS OFF.
Tha Representative Dealt a Stinging
Blow in the Face-The Belligerents
Separated Before Much Harm Was
Done—Col. Morgan Rawls Surprised
at the Act;pn of the Veterans of
Effingham County.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 2.—The sensation
at the capitol to-day was a bloody fisticuff
encounter between Secretary “Tip” Harri
son, of the executive department, and Rep
resentative Humphreys, of Brocks county.
The gentlemen badso ne unpleasantness and
a sharp correspondence last winter growing
out of a pnsion claim put in by Repre
sentative Humphreys for an old veteran,
which Capt. Harrison, who is in charge of
the pension work, held did n t come up to
the requirements. Representative Hum
phreys insisted that it did. To-day Repre
sentative Humphreys went to tne exec
utive department with another application
over which some dispute arose. The dis
agreement was probably augmented by the
former controversy ami finally Representa
tive Huinpureys told Secretary Harrison
that he had not treated him in age die
manly manner and the lattor sail, “Y >a
sue a liar.” Representative Humphreys
replied, “You ate a liar,” whereupon
Secretary Harrison struck him a stunning
blow in the faco. Tfie two me i then pro
ceeded to pound each other, but were soon
sepa ated. Representative Humphreys
ctme out of the mill badly bruised about
the face, while the secretary had a skittu and
knuckle. The fight was on the old fa-h
--lor.ed plan, and the difficulty is regarded at
an end
■ COL. RAWL’S SURPRISED.
Col. Morgan Rawls is sirpr se 1 and some
what dissatisfied at the proce* du g of the
Etti ngbani veterans on last .Salurdav, and
the apparent indorsment of the News by
their action in repudiating the constitution
and organization of the 1 to convention
held iu his city to form a state associat.on
of tonfede ate veterans. He thi iks there is
a mistake in not knowing the constitution
adoptei by the convention. All organiza
tions, including Atlanta and other cities,
areallowedonlv throe dele ates The ante
mu ber are allowed Effingham and other
small comities. Local organizations are not
to be interfered with, but are expected
to be governed by the rules of the s ate as
sociation. He says he is responsible for the
nomination of Gen. Sorrell a* district com
mander. Other tunes were mentioned to
the committee, but to Gen. Sorrell the e
was no objection in the committee or on the
floor of the convention. lhe CUattm n
was present w on the name)
®we e announced to the convention, and
made no objection. C 1. Rawls says he is
not intimately acquainted with Gen.
Sorrell, but knows his e.iarac era. a gallant
otiic r and gentleman, and knows that he is
not a politician.
THE COLONEL A DELEGATE.
The colonel says he war in the convention
as a delegate from the Effingham Veterans’
Association for the purpose of assisting in
the organization of a elate association, and
he believes this has been accomplished
with fair ess and eq ilty, and t at a
perusal of tho constitu ton adopted will
sustain this view. Atia ta is made
the place o holding the a r ual meetings,
which c uld not be otherwise, as all the
records, histories and photographs of di -
tinguisued co federates cannot be carried
around to different pl-ces. O.her meetings
can be called in different places. Col.
Rawls says he acted couscienti usly and be
lieves for tbe i>eet, and dislikes to have nis
action not indorsed.

POISON IN THE WHISKY."
A Depraved Citizen cf Jacksonville
Ends a W asted Life.
Jacksonville, Fla., Sept. 2.—A. 8.
Perry, living nearly two miles out in the
suburbs < f East Jacksonville, committed
suicide early this evening by taking strych
t iue in a drink of whisky. He was a white
man and was well connected in his native
state, Nor h Carolina, but had been li.in
in adultery here with a mulatto
woman named Celia Woods f r
more than twenty years. Seven
chi dren have been born to him by this in
timacy, one of whom, a boy of it year-, now
lies at tbe point of doat i f: - otn a portion of
tbe drugged whisky given him by Pe ry.
Ten days ago Perry returned from a visit
to relatives in North Carolina, taking a
room at a hotel here, but he had been visit
ing the Woods worn in daily.
POISONED WHISKY.
To-night he went to her h use and soon
afterward offered nil tho family a drink
from a whtsitv flask which he took from
his pocket. The boy took a drink, but re
marked that “it ia?t and bitter.” One little
girl took some, hut immediately spat ii
out. This kept the others of the family
from tasting it. Perry theu took ■ heav v
drink and in u few mo nents afterward
went into convulsions. He had l ean drink
ing hard and was despondent. The boy’s
life may possibly ba saved. Perry’s s:sto •,
living in Lewithurg, N. C., ha? bsen tele
graphed for, and the authorities here are
awaiting her arrival before disposing of the
remains.

PRINCE OF ORANKI3.
Wants to Be Crematoi Alive in Orier
to Return to Earth as a Prophetic
tpirit.
From the New York Herald.
Buffalo, N. Y., Aug. 31.— This after
noon Cyrus K. Remington, secretary of tue
Buffalo Crematory Assocta ion, upo i open
ing his mail was astonished beyond measu e
at receiving the following concise but
eminently cranky typewritten letter:
Buffalo, N. Y„ Aug. 31, 1889.
C. K. Remington, E q.:
Dri'i Sir—l and sire to be cremated in tbe
Buffalo cro a’ tv iu order to demonstrate that
I can assume a spirit for a and appear as i
m irt and man, with power of spree t, alter :nv
earthly bodv has been burned away. I should
expect after I itad made the neceisary prelimi
nary arrangements to ho cnlorotorme’daud theu
incinerated in the re :u!ar manner.
What would you charge for your services in
this matter?
Respectfully yours, William Browx.
At first er. Remington tvas men ed to
laugh, then the idea of the mat’s evident
seriousness impress -d him. He tur el to the
city directo ) and sought to fi and out Brown’s
residence, but iho t ame was so common
that lie was complotelv at sea. At this
ju icture I cam) in, aud learning of the
matter, set about inakiug a systematic
seirchforthe wou!d-be vie ini of eretua
ti n. At last he was found in a lit le house
on ilyrt e .treet, aud the most curious inter
view ever recorded ensued.
THE SUN OF THE WORLD.
William Brown is a weather-beaten lake
captain of uncertain age, though probably
60 ycant have passe I over bis head, ne
does not look at all like a crank, and his
voice, which is oven and undisturbed, gives
noindc.tion of the eminently peculiar
id-a that it is coup tiled to utte .
“Yes,” said he, u on being questioned, “I
wrote that letter and wrots it in dead earn
est, t >o. lam the sun (toe the sou) of toe
world, the immortal offsp iig of the god
and goddess of supreme being. My spirit
mother tvas b irn to earth Jan. 3, 1870, ad
my own spiri ual birth ttegau July 4, 1876,
and continued fou days. Till tlie , I ha i
groveled ia tie fll h of all uncleanliness
loe t e rest of humanity, but fr m fout
minutes past 6 o’clock on the fteraoou of
July 8, 1876, I have heeu an ethenal being
of tne titir t degree.
“Recently tue s Jrit ntofie' proclaimei
me prince of peace, and ic was necessary for
me 11 assume the f iurth and la-c degree.
In order‘o do this I wdl ba compelled to
part with my body and the crematory will
be tne easiest amijcticapest way of getting
rid of this gross flash.
ANTE-MORTKM ARRANGEMENTS.
“Oh!” he continued, warming up to his
subject, “then will 1 tie emancipated, and
will itegin my cou se of lectures tnrough ut
the world. You see I have one al eaay
hilled”—and lie showed me a small dodger,
s ati g tuat “Tae I visible, tnrough 'tne'
Mediu nsbip of William Brown, would lec
ture at Kent’s Hall, Tonawanda, Thu s lay
evening, Sect. 9.” Tuat will be my first
stand alter divesting myself of this use ess
body.”
T en he lowered his voice to an ordinary
to e and went >n m >re calmly:
"Doubtless you think me a crank—per
haps insane, but I assure yon I am neither.
I t 1858 I saw a vision a id predicted th) ro
ll ’ll ton. I was even then a soar, taough the
Godhead had not yet fallen on me. I went
about Soutueru O tio proaohing of my
vision. The i,etpl ■ laughed at me. 1 p>r
sis ed, and wa- cast int > a Cincinnati insaue
asylum, where I rein iue 1 s>veral mont is.
On two other oecasi >ns I have nearly met
such a m sfortu ie, st.npiy because Ia nn it
what otaer man are, out i i.-tead am the
BUI.”
AN OLD-TIME STEAMBOAT CAPTAIN.
Brow i then related t ie story of portion?
of his life. W hea a young ’m*n be com-
maided some of the fi st side wheel passen
ger steamers that ever floated on the lakes,
among them bei ig the Pacific. Constella
tion and Constitution. He is we i known to i
all the o.der lake captains and has the record 1
of bei g a good navigator.
He is tngaged in writing a book which is
on ■ of t ie most peculiar c mgl me rations of ■
in-a iDglesstrasuco npou ided so as to read j
with a biblical sound tnat I ever saw. He
calls i the “Trumpet of Truth.”
He explained tha' after being cremated it
was his iutentio i to appear immediately to j
the assemble i hundreds, even a? Christ re
visited his apostle ■, a id to reproac.i tnem |
for their uubeiief. He did nut expect to
regain his body, hut would he iceforth be
import lerabls. Not the slightest and >ubt of
the Crematory Association refusing to burn
him entered his mind, and his only fear was
their asking too high a p ice for nis limited
purse. He further explained that he had
tried to commit suicid* seventeen times —by
knife, poison and ballot —but had failed
each time. On this account he was some
what doubtful of the success of his latest
experiment.
SOARED LIKE MATaD DOVES.
They Were Married in a Balloon at

Manchester, N. H., Aug. 29.—1n the
presencs of 20,00) people Miss Addie Bro iks
and Mr. James F. Boyd were united iu mar

Immediately on the compie ion of t e mar
nag i cereal my Mr. and Mis. Boyd began
their married life, “far from 'he madding
cro vd,” by a voyage among the clouds.
The Ma -.Chester driving park was the
j .cene of thi? most unique wedding, and the
affair formed the g eat event of the New
Ha npsbiro state fair ill 1889. When the
hour announced for tbe m triage uud sub
sequent ascension in tho balloon arrived,
tho crowds within the grounds numbered
at le ist 20,000. A platform iu the center of
the race track, up 11 which the ceremony
was to b? performed, was surrounded by a
dense mass of hu nanit , packed as closely
as sardines. Through this crowd, sii >rtiy
before 3 o’clock, a bar ucue vainly sought
co make its way.
“ Jake way for the bridal couple!” was
passed al ug tie flue, but, only tne brawny
arm • of six c policemen c uld make
the slightest impres ion on tho crowd. By
dint of exe -tion the c u riage was brougnt
to tho sta and and the b id u pa ty s.epped
upon tha platfor n. The bride was atti ed

and carried u largo bouquot. She is slightly

With never a tremor, but with a smile’on

with incroasi ig speed. The crowd watched
it until is drifted oucof sig ,t. The presents
received by the bridal pair were many ad
compri-ed gifts from nearly every business
firm ii town. The Ne • Hampshire Agri
cultural Society presented au uttit valued
at 1209, and this sat largely supplemented
b otuer remembrances.
In conversiti m with the Wot Id re
porter .Miss Brooks said the presents did not
form any indue m int t > her t > be married
in so public a manner, ut s e hall ug de
sired to make a balloon ascension ami gl idly
welcomed this opportunity. Prof. Alle i
stated thai this was the ttiird couple who
had ever made their bridal tour in a bal
loon, toe first event of the kind occurring at
Dayton, 0., in 1878, and tha se oid at
Providence in ISSS, wue i 35,00’J people wit
nessed the ascension. The balloon used is
capable of carrying 700 ooun.i? weight, be
si'ies the passengers. It contained 49,000
cub.e fe.’t of gis.
THE BIGGEST AMERICAN FAMILY.
Three Thousand rmiths at Their An
nual Reu ion at Pea pack.
From the Xew York World.
There are many kinds of Smiths in this
country, but not one of tuem is bad. R >p
r*e -ntat.vei of all the kinds met at Feapack,
N. J., yesterday at the fourteenth annual
reunion and family pic dc of the clan.
They all came on wheels and by horse
power, for tae nearest railway station is
many miles away.
The oldest Smith present was Col. Peer
Z.. who was bora Carist na3 day, 1818. He
carries a cane, just for fun, not that ho
needs it, but because he and ies not like to be
out of touch with the custom? of other
hearty young fellows. The youngest hasn’t
any other name than Smith as yet. He
wat absorbing rui.k at a high rate of speed
and saying, “Ah g..!” at intervals, iu the
manner of one on very good terms with
himself. Three thousand intermediate
Smiths hitched their fine ho ses to posts and
trees for a quarter of a mile around, and
picnicked in he most delight ul way in
Peter Z.’s orchard, ii the midst, of which
are two green mounds, showing where
er the chimneys of th? original Jo in
Saiitu’s home 150 years ago, when any
careless Smith mi :ht have been soalped by
Indians if he didn’t look sharp.
T e most pronounced feature of all the
celebration was t e brotherii ies? of it. Alt
the Smiths fr >m ear-by placet toiled hard
all day to make things pleasant for thoir
kinsmen and kins omen from Chicago,
Buffalo, Seneca Falls, Snithtown, L. 1.,
and; Newark. Everybody wa? happy.
Abraham Smith, the vice pres dent,
who presided because the president was m
Canada, had caref nlly nailed a bit of cauze
over a squirrel hole iu t e tall white orchard
gate post w herein a swarm of bee? live this
sun uer. This kept them from fl ing out
in their artless api-tic way, and slipping
tneir tings in.o the other S” itns. The new
Garmantown cornet band played fine pi
triotic tunes, and contributed their mite
to the area of good feel.ng. Abratiam
S nith. fr in a high platform, introduced
the Rev. E. F. Fowler of Peacock and Dan
iel H. Overton of the Union Theological
seminary. New York, who told tbe 8 . iths
how ha py and good they s ould be. It was
the best picnic the Smiths ever had.
It is an Ohio man who now makes a curious
discovery. He says if you go out to feed a flock
of c iokens and keep them waiting they will
fir t flack ab iut you and then begi i a circuit
around you from rlgnt to left, and that no
amount of Interruption or maneuvering w 11
confuse orturn th -m in another direc.ioa. The
hen i? an inexhaustiole source of studious con
templation.

Mr. J. J. Belly, 30 Whitaker street. Savannah,
Ga.:
Dear Sir—l am a reader of the Morning
News of your city, and see you advertising so
many fine things that we never hear of, or see
down here, tha lam often tempted to order,
and would, if it were not inconvenient and ex
pensive to have little things come by freight.
At the first oppor unity though I am go ng to
send you an ..rder for several items, which you
can s-nd me in one large box. How ab ut your
Candies* I see you talking very strong about
their fine quality. I often want ab>x of Fine
Candies to present my friends. lam a little
puzzled to ku W w tere to buy. as vour paper is
filled with the advertisements c 2 several, all
claiming to have ‘ the best Candies in the city.’’
I want to get the best. Respectfully yours,
S. J. N .

Teas. Coffees, Spices, Etc.,
30 Whitaker Street,

_ Savannah, Aug. 29, 1889,
Mr. S. J. X , Wayc oss , Ga. :
Dear Sir—Yours ot tbe -7th to hand and con
tents noted. In re ly, I would say, that when
ever you see fit to send in the order spoken of,
it will have my best attention.
Yes! I nave tne finest line of Table Luxuries
and Specialties that it is possible to get, and a
stock of ti.ese goods, such as cannot be found
anywhere in this country, outside of some few
houses in New York city, Boston, Philadelphia,
or Chicago.
Now, regarding Candies: If you were in Sa
vannah, intent upon getring some flue Candy,
and would take th * trouble to go to each of the
houses you speak of as advertising “fine
candies,” w re you anything of a judge of what
constitutes even good, pure candy, you would
soon to the conclusion that there are
ONLY TWO houses in Savannah entitled to
your consideration. Everyone in Savannah
knows who that other party is. He has Fine
Candies—there is no doubt about that. But in
paying this just tribute to the goods he sells,
plrase understand that I do not for a momeDt
admit that they are one tot better than mine, it
as good. For very many reasons, too, I am in
finite! v better fixed on Candies than he is.
1 The house that supplies me my Candies
has nothing whatever to do with my selling
prices.
2. My Candies do not come in one-pound and
half-pound packages, but I bring them out in
bulk (so to speak) and pack them here to order
in any style and of ny kinds wanted. It is
needless to say that for very many reasons t is
means quite a difference in my favor in the cost
of Candies.
3. I have a very extensive line of all kinds of
Candies and Confections, while his stock con
sists entirely of a few packed specialties of a
certain maser.
In conclusi n I would say that until I started
my Candy department it was not possitile to
obtain any Good Can lies in Savannah except
from this - arty, hence, from necessity, all who
wanted Good Candy were obliged to "go his
way ’’ Now, though, the situation is changed,
and almost all who appreciate Fine Candies
flow in our direction.
For these reasons, therefore, I think you
would do well to place your Candy orders with
me. Yours truly, J. J. REILY.
