A. F. Franklin owns a small mill at or near Millwood, ou the BrunSwick and West eru railroad. One day recently he made sale of it to an *tber party for $2,000, and ap. oinie i the day to pass papers, etc. The night before he started some miscreant put a torch to the mill and reduced it to ashes, thus sweeping away $2,000 that was almost within l.is hand. A unique present has just been received by John ColTille of Brunswick from Robert Brice of New York. It consists of five books of rare value, esjiecialiy four of the number, which are about 300 years old. They ore printed in the old style type of that day. The works are expositions or commentaries on parts of the Bible by En glish authors, and are very well preserved. At Washington Saturday the laborers were busy on the track of the street car line, singing in chorus and digging. Whether it was significant or not, the re frain of one song wa, “White man work me so hard, so har*L s > hard,” and on Mon day they had all struck for higher wages A ringleader or two of town negroes were, it is said, the cause of it. The company without difficulty, it is said, supplied their places. Tho celebrated Hickory Hovel plantation of West Dougherty was sold by Sheriff Edwards, at Albany, Tuesday, at public sale. It wus ne of the llnest farms in the cotton belt of the s uth, and has been con sidered one of the best properties in Dougherty county. Twenty years ago the place would have sold for SIOO,OOO easily. The sale, being a forced one, was about what was expected, the 400 acres bringing $14,000, and was bought by Mrs. Joseph Ileal 1 of New York. Dirt was broken, Tuesday, on the Ameri cas electric street railway, and a force of fifty laborers are now busily’ engaged put ting down the steel rail. Eight miles of track will be laid through tue principal streets of the city, and als > to the suburban town of Leeton, two miles distant. The work of tracklayiug will be pushed a quar ter of a mile per day, and the road will probably be in operation within ninety days. The machinery for the plant, and also that for lighting the street,, has ar rived. Vincent Lockhart of Hall county, a vet eran of the war of 1812, died at his resi dence, near The Glades, a few days ago. He was near 95 years of ago at the time of his death, and was a man of vigorous mind until a few months ago, when he began to fail, bis end being hastened by disease of the heart, and dropsy. He was born in Lincoln county, and wuen a youthful lad entered the service of his country as a vol unteer, in Capt. P. Lamar’s company. Ho was with his command at M >bile at the time of the battle of New Orleans, where the invincible Jackson successfully met and repelled the British, and put an end to the war. CoL L. F. Livingsto i has *ent tho follow ing to the Mncou Telegraph: “Coba, Ga., Sept. 2, 1889. —Mr. Editor: In your issue of Aug. 30, in an interview witti several al liance men touching mv candidaev for gov ernor, you assort -that in 'spite of this fact, Col. Livingston’s announcement of his candidacy on the very hoels of his election as president of the stiito alliance hud left the impression on t ie minds of the gen eral public that the alliance had indorsed him for the high office.’ Now, Mr. Editor, I have not announced my candidacy for governor, nor have 1 authorized any one to do so for me; and if in the fut are I see proper to announce for any office in the gift of tho people, I will do so over my own signature, and in doing so will not compromise or em barrass any person or enterprise with whom or which lam connected. I’lease let this suffice and answ. r ouce for ell as to my oandidaev. L. F. Livingston,” T he colored people of Walton county held their county alliance meetiug Saturday. Each sub-alliance was represented, and resolutions were adopted which, if carried cause a good deal of trouble and conflict between the two alliances, or, in other words, between the land owners and the common laborers. The resolutions adopted are, in substance, about as follows: . a hey pledge themselves uot to piok, or .allow any of their family, or any person they can control, to pick a lock of cotton for any person, or under any cir cumstances. for less than 75 cents per lIKJ. Second, that they will work for no person lor lss than $1 per day in the wint r and $1 25 in the summer, and to work only eight hours per day. Third, that they recommend tlie grand jury to find true bills against every “colored perso who loafs about t -wn and send him to the country to tann ing. They adopted some kind of a resolu tion f. r punishing any negro who works for a less price than that agreed on in tne i isolations. FLORIDA. Eight steamers now visit Apalachicola regularly. J. C. McKibbon, who was recently ap pointed postmaster at Fairbanks, to *k charge of the office Saturday. It is rumored that one of Gainesville's most enterprising young busineis men in tends going into business in Savannah. About eighty negroes left Gainesville Monday to work on anew railroad being built in the northern part of the state. Tlip gardeners of the Ponce do Leon hotel at St. Augustine have bleached thousands of pampas grass tops. They are white plumes and purple and make pretty vose decorations. Lo ins Kagan writes to a friend that lie has not withdrawn from the tight for the rffleo of collector of internal revenue of Florida, but is still a candidate, and will remain so until the appointment is made. He fils ) denies that he has boon appointed deputy collector of customs at Koy West, iu which city he new is. I’alaika Herald: The Savannah News, Ocala Banner and Tallahassee Floridian, have been coming to this office for the last tweuty-ove years, and, with the exception of the latter, no change has been made in the management of tnese old time friends, though, they have greatly changed in ap |K nrance for the better. We welcome them each tiirfn with that heartiness due an old and good friend. The youngsters of Gainesville, having read of the Johnstown allair, are going to try the experiment on a small scale at that place by damming up Sweetwater branch, provided the authorities don’t interfere, which they will most assuredly do. The Advocate advises the parents of these young men to see that they are stoppod in such work before they have further trouble with them. One night last week, as A. and A. H. Hoppe were goiug home, after Having closed up the postoffice at Apalachicola for the night, a brick was thrown by some ono from the vicinity of the Catholic church, and A. 1L lioppe was struck with it oil the back of the neck. Mr. Hoppe thinks the brick came from the hands of some boy whom he had to silence in the postoffice for making a considerable racket during the distribution of the mail. Apalachicola Times: On Monday, Aug -26, a man and woman gut on the steamer 1 otus at or near Chattahoochee, registered as Mr. and Mrs. Henry F. Fowler. They took deck passage, were ordinary-looking people about 40 years of age, and in Apa lachicola stoppod at the boarding house of James Lewis. Mrs. Lowis sa\s they re paired immediately to their r*>om and re mained there until the next morning, when they got on board the Lotus for the up trip, taking deck passage. When the steamer was in Finey Beach the woman walked out on the “fan tail” of the steamer and jumped overboard, fhe man, it is alleged, walked very quietly forward and calmly said that “that woman had jumped overboard and you had liottor pick her up.” Capt. Kand lette stopped the steamer at once, and by the time a dingey could be lowered she was a quarter of a mile astern, held up by her clothing. She was picked up as soon a; possible, and when interrogated as to why she bad jumped overboard replied that trouble had caused it. When picked up from the waier she exclaimed, “On, my floor children!” Previously she had denied haviug any children. IVihcipa! Assistant Euginoor Sackett of tlie United Statesamiy is busily engaged in carving out of a slab of wood, as near as P' ssible, a model or plan of the northwest entrance to the Key West harbor. He takes tho dimensions, of course greatly re duced, from the United States engineers’ chart to compile which they took over 25,- 000 soundings. Thirty feet is the greatest depth represented in the model, and as the water shallows tho wood is left in little terraces and hero and there where rocks show their nave beaten heads al low water, pieces of wood are tacked on tho slab to represent them. After Mr. Sackett has carvel as true a copy of the bottom, or what is known as a matrix, as is possible out of wood, the next thing to bo done is to cover the wholo outline with a uniform thickness of wax, iu which ho will form tho smaller and more intricate details. When the model is finished to Mr. Hackett’s satisfaction lie will pour plaster of paris over itand lot it remain until it hardens; this forms what is called tho negative, aud from this any number of plaster of paris -copies can bo taken. T o entrance to the harbor of Key \V ost is obstructed by a bar similar to the St. Augustine harbor bar, the only difference being that tlie Key West bar is composed nearly all of rock instead of sand, and so if once cleared out would be permanent. There is about 11 feet of water at low tide and 14 feet when the tide is high. Tlie exiienditure for the sounding cost over $5,000. The first serious accident which ever oc curred on tho tra n road used by the West Bros, for carrying logs to their mill at West Farm, Madison couuiy, occurred last Saturday. By this accident three little negro girls were horribly crippled, and tlie engine and cars w ore damaged to a consid erable extent. The train, which consisted of au eugiue and six or seven ears, was going from the mill after logs, the engino pushing instead of pulling tho cars, and going at u fair rate or speed. Three negro girls, of from 8 to 14 years of age, were seated upon ,ene of the cars with their feet dangling over its end and liottvoen It and anutlier car. Their father stock! near by and was watching them, cars rounded a curve a calf or a now was run over by the car in front. This left the track and was followed by tho ot ers, the bumpers of two or t nree being broken. When the father saw the cars leaving the track he told the girls to draw their feet up, and at tbe same moment caught the youngest one in his arms to get ger out of danger. The others made an effort to do as directed, but before they could and > so suc cessfully the cars came together witli a crash, catching a leg of each and grinding tlie bones to powder, and the flesh into jelly. Tlie little ono whom the father caught escaped-with a slight mash upon the heel of ouo foot. Div. ] ’arramore, Sessions and Boatright wore summoned as speedily ns possible. They found it necessary to amputate the leg of one of the unfortunates above the knee as there wns no tope for the patient otherwise.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer. Sugar king Claus Spreckels has entered the lists with Wizard Edison and is crowding the electric magician pretty hard in bis bid for novel discoveries besides as tonishing the world by his fight with the ali-powerful sugar trust. This time Mr. Spre-ckels has evolved something which, if all that is claimed for it be true, will revolu tionize the building trade, or at least that portion of it where marble and the more costly fine stones are used. King .Sprocket- has made the wonderful discovery that he can make sugar hard enough to take the place of marble. It will wash, unlike many of the statements of his friends the sugar trust, and has been tested to a remarkable degree. So says Mr. Spreckels. Mr. Sprockets, besides commanding world wide admiration for his gigantic operations is ulso secretive, and tnis wonderful dis covery only leaked out through that happy teeiing engendered by a hearty dinner, congenial fellowship and bracing sea air, for it was told in mid-ocean, where the salty breez.-s could not take it up and waft it to the four corners of the earth. Never theless the secret is no longer a secret. Like most wonderful discoveries it came out by accident during the course of ex periments necessitated by the demands of trade. THE PRELIMINARY EXPERIMENTS. For many years Mr. Sprockets was troubled by the bad condition bis sugar was in when it reached Central America and Mexico and the constantly recurring demand for hard sugar, aud he kept busily at work trying to perfect a process by which his loaf sugar could be carried with out reaching his consignees in the damaged condition, and at last he reached the solu tion of the problem, and blocks of sugar have been going there which you couldn’t break with an axe; harder than marble, purer than the finest Italian product and whiter than any stone ever quarried. But King Spreckels kept his secret as though it were buried iu the archives of state or trusts. On the voyage over on the Fulda the con versation turned o tbe question of the proposed new annex to the white house. Dr. George O. Glavis, an attorney, of Washington, D. C., and the sugar king, who are intimate frieuds, were the center of a group of interested listeners to a political dissertation on office-holders and offlee s- ekers as the points at issue. It was pointed out that congress never appro priated enough to complete any structure, and that it cost like sixty to import marble to complete any building of the size and character of the white house. To which all present agreed, but ono gentleman, turning to Mr. Spreckels, said jokingly: “Now, if we could only make it out of sugar, Mr. Spreckels.” “It certainly can be done,” said the gol den state Urutsus, soberly, nodding his head to emphasize his remark. "No you don’t mean it?” said the aston ished group, breathlessly. “I certainly do,” was Mr. Spreckels’ re ply, still more mysteriously. “Tell us about it,” urged the gentleman in a single breath. HE TELLS OF HIS DISCOVERY. The su .ar king thou told t .oin of his dis covery, expatiated upon the wonders of the new substitute, told them that he could make blocks of hardened sugar, as ada mantine as marble, as pure as alabaster and as white as the linen in their shirt fronts, and, moro wonderful than all, so cheap that in course of time its value would boas low ns that of brick—“ Phil adelphia brick, at that.” lie drew, jokingly, a vivid picture of a city of such sweetness as never even Baby lonia’s kings ever dreamed of,and painted the difference between Philadelphia, the city of red, and SproeUelsonia, the city of milk white purity. His listeners were spell bound. Rarely had such food for ocean gossip been furnished to ennuied travelers. Iu wonder tone they discussed the matter even when they had landed, after exhaust ing all the possibilities contained in the wonderful discovery, bade au affectionate adieu to the sugar magician as he started for this city, and went home to dream of palaces of saccharine formation—of beet root and sugar cane, of fairy tales and sugar midasos, who turn cities of brick, stoue and mortar fnto chemical stone. Enjoying his surprise party, Mr. Spreck els came to Philadelphia and hied him to the rocky and other fastnesses which guard tho \Y issahickon Inn from the Dragon of the Demon. Tbero a reporter found him last evening, genial, ruddy and, bettor than all, communicative. When told the repor ter’s errand lie said . “Yes, it’s true. I can make out of sugar stono harder than the finest marble; it will wash with soap and water, aud is as white as driven snow. Yes, and cheap, much, much cheaper than marble.” Here Mr. Spreckels recited the story of the mention of his discovery to his fellow passengers. CHEAP HOUSES OF SUGAR, “1 said also, ‘Why go to the expense of importing Italian marble and foreign labor when you can make just as good marblo, cheaper and better thau the imported arti cle, grown on American soil, or, rather, of the products, of American soil, developed by American workingme i and capital, and in every way superior?’ That’s what I said. You can wash it better than marble. 18 ij cleaner looking, much easier made and handled.” “But will it stand the elements—rain, frost, wind aud sunshine?” “Now, that I don’t know. I built a toy house to gratify my fancy. It is made of blocks of the stuff and is as solid as granite. I have kept a block of the material in wa ter for weeks at a time, and it was washed daily with soap and water, and never melted or dwindled away. It is wonderful material. You cannot cut it with a knife, only a chisel and mallet having any effect upon it. If it will not do for outside work it will answer every purpose of interior work.” “How largo can you mako the blocks?” “Oh, almost any size; all I have made thus far have been good-sized blocks, but I can make them as big m you want them.” ' “What is the process?” “Well; that is, of course, a secret, as I haven’t patented my machinery ifor the process yet. It is done, of course, by pres sure, very powerful pressure, which re moves the crystals and makes it a solid white. No, I don’t think it will ho used to construct the annex to tho white house: hut if it were, what a sweet place it would b * for ofiice-seekors and office-holders,” said he, with a merry twinkle in his eye. Pr. Glavis is preparing the specifications with the view of applying for a patent for the “sugar-marble” for Mr. Spreckels. THE PARIS CHLOROFORMIST. The Expert Criminals Who Rob by Means of Narcotics In Europe. Pram the St. Louis Qlohe-Democrat. Tho thieves who make use of narcotics nre not very numerous, but they should not t>o confounded with the chloroformists. They are as different from each othor as day and mght. The thefts committed with tho nid of narcotics are the work of indi viduals Known as “anasthesieuis.” They seek for persons disposed to drink with the first one who conies along, and in the great centers such p .-tple abound. After having assured kimself that the tippler has money tho thief puts him to sleep by causing him to smoke t >bacco mixed with opium, or bv pouring into his glass a liquid which produces stupor for a sufficiently long period to enable him to commit t .e robbery in perfect security' The victims are ill for a little while,' but the sickucss is never mortal. I can not say the same of those who in their sleep, are subjected to the inhalation of chloroform Tiie chloroformists administer with great skill, either with the aid of a sponge or that of a handkerchief, that poisonous, powerful, tenacious and alwavs dangerous substance, which, given unskillfully, may prove fate! They are shrewd, adroit and well posted; they are met with on the rail way trains, on the stesmb ate and at tbe hotels Essentially cosmopolitan, they spend the maj *r part of their existence in traveling. They talk like guides and are thoroughly acquainted with the watering places and -a baths where the aristocracy and wealth gather. AN ACCOMPLISHED ROGUE. The chloroformist is generally an old baud, having frequented the schools of medicine, whore he learned the use and efficacy of narc tics. A man of the world, in telligent and good eompauy.his conversation is captivating. Hespeaks several languages and claims to belong to the nobility. He has au agreeable presence. An excellent dancer and somewhat of a musician, young ladies are delighted with him. Tnis is the way he operates on a railway train: Hostations himself in the donotand watches the purchasers of tickets. Having chosen as his victim Ihe man with the best tilled pocketbook, he buys a ticket and gets into the same compartment. In his travel ing bag he carries a re-erve of provisions, go and wine, extra cigars, playing cards and everything such as au experienced traveler would have. He adroitly engages his victim in conver sati n, speaks of tne inconvenience of rail way station restsura t, the crowd, the long wait to ba served and the small time allowed to passengers, in a winning man ner he then offer , to share his bill of faro with his companion. A friend was going with him to Switzerland, but at the last moment wired him that he could not go. and that is why he is so amply provided with provisions. If necessary he shows tho dispatch. Should the victim refuse to par take he proceeds with his repast aud after ward offers him cigars, prepared as was his wine. They chnt, time flies and the monotonous noise of the train, added to the cigar smoke, plunges the victim into a torpor which he can not conquer, and by which he is finally overcome. The chioroformist then opens his vial and places it for sevoral seconds beneath the sleeper’s nostrils. At the same time he gently puts over the mouth a sheet of very fine parchment to prevent the breathing of the external air. This parchment is called the “stiflers.” It is shaped like tho lower part of the carnival mask. The man is in a sound sleep, almost a c ;rpse —the chlore - form vapor has done its work. Then the thief leisurely rifles the victim’s pocket book, taking care to leave one or two bank notes in if, after which he restores it to ihe owner’s pocket. He does not appropriate any of the sleeper’s jewelry. The robbery committed, the thief quits the train at the next station. Two reasons actuate the chloroformist in not absolutely depriving his victim of money. H iving en >ugh left to pay his expenses, the latter is iti less haste to make his complaint. The second reason is that, should the man die under the influence of tho chloroform, being in possession of his jewelry aud money, his death would be attributed to natural causes, and the authorities will not suspect that a crime has been committed. On a steamboat tbe chloroformist brings all his artifices into play. Ho usually claims to be a physician, and forms the acauaintance of some rich family whose sufferings from seasickness lie adroitly relieves. This gives him standing and enable; him to select his victim, generally a wealthy American merchant or planter. On disembarking he follows up the Ameri can and becomes his friend. The robbery ordinarily takes place in a private room or a cafe. while tho coffee is being drunk, after the repast, the chloroformist draws the attention of his victim to some lady who is passing in tho street and quietly pours the pernicious liquid into his cup. He then relieves his pocketbo: k of tho major portion of its contents and leaves the cafe. Uf course nothing is more natural than for a man to fall asleep after a hearty meal. A ROBBERY IN A HOTEL. Asa last example, I will show how the chloroformist operates iu a hotel. The treasurer of a commercial establishment in Bordeaux was accustomed to come fre quently to Pari* with large sums of money. Ha always stopped at the same hotel, one of the largest and bust. Three months ago he arrived at the hotel with 50,000 francs, which, as he required the money very early next morning, he failed to have locked up in the cashier’s safa At 9 o’clock in tho evening he went to bed, first making sure that the bank notes were in a sealed en velope in the pocket of his coat. It was his habit to wake at 4 o’clock in the morning, but at 9 o’clook he was yet asleep. When ho finally opened his eyes he had the con fused sensation of having seen and heard strange things during his sleep. His first thought was that he had been robbed, and a hurried examination estab lished the fact. His watch arid pertemonnaie were untouched, but the envelope had beori rifled, and an old copy of the Figaro sup plied the place of the stolen funds. He made his declaration to the commissary of police, but while making it could with diffi culty keep awake. His look was vague aud his head heavy. He explained that on awaken ing he had felt a sharp pain in his upper jaw and a tickling sensation in his nose. The proprietor of the hotel and his people were above suspicion, and it was soon es tablished that the robbery had been the work of a chloroformist, who had ma le his way into the victim’s chamber by means of a stolen master key. I have often noticed with regret that the authorities aud the police do not pay suf ficient attention to the small empty vials so frequently found in the pockets of ar rested malefactors. The chloroformist is a constant source of danger, especially for travelers and wealthy foreigners, and the worst feature of the matter is that he is but rarely detected and punished. CUTICURA REMEIDES, Not a Pimple on Him Now Bad With Eczema. Hair all gone. Scalp covered with eruptions. Thought his hair would never grow. Cured by Cuticura Kemedies. Hair splendid and not a pimple on him. I cannot say enough in praise of the Cuticura Remedies. My boy, when one year of age was so bad with eczema that he lost all of his hair His scalp w as covered with eruptions, which die doctors said was scald head, and that liis hair would never grow again. Despairing of a cure from physicians, 1 began the use of the Cm - Cuba Remedies, aud, I am happy to say, with the most perfect success.
