for the £>tate—Jessie Bone’s Charac
ter Notoriously Bad Appointment
by the Governor— Reltgious Moon
shiner Liberated.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 14. —In the trial of
J. C. Bone to-day Tor the murder of J. (i.
Woodward, the evidence was ali itr light in
ar.d the opening argument for the defense
delivered.
Eilen T welly swore that Bone knew of
Woodward’s visits to his house, and never
raised el ection until after he declined to
p,v f. , r a handsome suit of furniture bought
bv Jessie. Bone knew Woodward was ex
pected to come the night of the k 1 ing. Thi
defense offered no testimony save the pris
oner's statement as follows:
bone’s statement.
"Gentlemen of the jury, this thing has
been going on for six months. I had been
trying to find out w Let her or not Woodward
was a married man. I found out that lie
was married, just before Christmas. On the
night I shot Woodward, I came in an l was
eating supper, when I heard somebody talk
ing to my daughter in the next room.
My wife to'd me it was Woodward. I
said Woodward was a married man,
and 1 was going to talk to
him. I picked up a hatchet and went out to
borrow a pisioi. I talked to Walker, but
could not get a pistol from him. I after
ward borrowed one from Vaughn. I
started back ad met Woodward. 1 asked
him if that was Woodward, and he said
•Yes.’ I said, ‘1 have heard you are a
mar led man. Are you V I told him ho had
lieen coming to see Jessie and he mustn’t
come again. He repied, ‘I will come
sis often as 1 like and please; you
can’t help yourself! When he said this he
threw his hand behind him. I pulled my
pistol to protect myself, and a scuffle fol
lowed. In the scuffle I shot Woodward.
That is the truth, gentlemen, and nothing
but the truth. What man in the world
would have done otherwise! Jessie is my
cmly daughter.”
NOTORIOUSLY BAD CHARACTER.
Evidence was introduced by the state
showing J.ssie Bone’s character to have
been no oriously bad for years, and that
Woodw rd’s watch and keys were found in
Bone’s house after the killing.
Dan Hall swore that he saw Woodward
with a watch, money, and keys on the even
ing or night he was shot; that Woodward
carried the keys of his (wi ness’) safe and
drawer. After Woodward was shot wit
ness’ store was burglarized and goods stolen.
Woodward also had a key to witness’
store door, and that key has no or
been found. Tho burglars who entered the
Btore went in with a key. Witness also
testified that he had Been Woodward give
the old man and the other Bones money.
He saw a note which Jessie B tig wrote t >
Woodward about the furniture. It was an
every day occurrence for one of tbo Bones
to come to the store and call for Mr. Wood
ward. Witness was familiar with Jessie
Bones’ handwriting, and saw a note which
she had written to Woodward a month or
six weeks before he was shot. In the note
she asked him to make a payment on the
furniture and threatened him savugoly if ho
refused.
APPOINTMENTS BY THE GOVERNOR.

unexpired six years’ term of H. W. Grady
on the board of trustees t of the state uni
versity.
Dr. W. H. Felton of Bartow to tho same
board for a term of two years.
The former is appointed from the Fifth
congressional district, the later from the
state at large. Dr. Felton was one of the
original appointments to the board, but
doubt existed of his eligibility.
G. M. Ryals, First district, and J. M.
Hushing, Second district, were appointed
their own successors on the board of direc
tors of the Georgia experiment station.
E. C. Warren was appointed solicitor for
Pulaski county court, vice W. F. Kilsey,

SENTENCE COMMUTED.

saved from the gallows in Wavne county
by a reprieve granted Dec. 12, the day
before the execution was to have taken
place, has been commuted to life imprison
ment Phillips is supp 'sed to have been
hard pressed by the negro he killed, the
latter being drunk and armed with a knife,
with which he was pursuing Phillips when
the fatal shot was fired.
TOM WOOLKOLK WANTS TO BE MOVED.
Tom Woolfolk has written to the gov
ernor to have him removed to the Atlanta
jail. He represents the jailor at Macon as
the wickedest man he ever saw, and pro
tests against the horrible treatment to
which he claims to have been subjected by
him.
MOVED TO ATLANTA.
M. L. Albritton, representative of Quit
man county in the last house, has moved to
Atlanta to engage in the insurance busi
ness.
A MOONSHINER LIBERATED.
Henry Adams, a moonshiner, who has
remained some time in jail after complet
ing his sentence because unwilling to take
the oath required for his discharge, was
given his liberty after examination by a
physician. Ho was pronounced weak
minded, and TJmted States Judge Newman
suspended the sentence. Adams is sup Dosed
to be a religious monomaniac. He stated
that his earthly possessions consisted of a
•wife and four children, a bedstead, a
looking glass, a few plates, cups and
saucers, a table, a stool and some cheap
chairs, the whole ot which he valued at
about S2O. Yet he elected to stay in jail,
forever, if need be, rather than make an
oath or even sign a simple afiirmati n to
that effect, because of the Bible’s in
junction: “Swear not at all.” Affirmation
and swearing he regarded the same thing.
PEELERS UNDER THE AX.
The police commissioners to-night took
up the trial of four more policemen against
whom charges had been made, and dis
charged them all. Patrolman J. W. Veal
was dropped for accepting a bribe from
Eamtilers, R. F. Reynolds for conduct un
becoming an officer in interfering with an
other policeman in making an arrest, and
G. M. Hunt and C. F. Jones, charged with
cowardice. The first had failed to make
an arrest, and the second to assist
his partner when in trouble. This makes
seven members of the force who received
their walking papers in the last twenty-four
hours. Hencef rth it is proposed to subject
applicants to a much mo: e rigid examina
tion before accenting them as policemen.
The finance committee of the city council
to-day appropriated SIOO,OOO to increase the
efficiency of the force, winch w.U henceforth
consist of 100 patrolmen in addition to
mounted men and detec: ives.

Warehouse Destroyed.
Macon, Ga., Jan. 14. — Fire broke out at
noon to-day in the large cotton warehouse
cf Willi a F. Price, in which was store 1 900
bales of cotton. By almost herculean
efforts the firemen fought their
way into the warehouse, and
after two h urs, saved about half of the
stock. The loss is placed at $23,672, insur
ance $37,900. The cotton is on storage, and

; CONFLICT OF AUTHORITY.
I Trouble Eetwsen Federal and State
Officers in Florida.
Fernandina, Fla., Jan. 14.—Chief of
i Police John Hill and P licemaa Taylor of
this city had a hearing before Judge
Swayne in the United States cou t at Jack
sonville Monday. They were arrested on a
cnarge of conspiracy. Th >sa cases may
prove very interi sting, as they develop
the fact that there eii t< a conflict < f au
thority between tho state and t e United
Suit.s. Hill and Taylor arrested a uiau iu
Fernandina a fe.v days since, who had been
leafing around tow i with no apparent
business, and upon examination was carry
ing two or tbr- e revolvers c inoealed on his
person, and on the charge of carryi ig con
ca el weapons he was kept in jail over
Sunday, anil apoeared before City Judge
Baker Monday m rmiig following, to wuorn
he made Known that he was a
deputy United States marshal, sent out
from the United States court at. Jackson

Brunswick, Ga., presumably. After bar .-
ing who he was Judge Baker immediately
di i li irged hi n, an l heroturied ti Jack
sonville, and the arrest of Hill ai,(i Taylor
followed on the charge of c nspiracy.
A large number of the n s.dents of this
city and county have been o ligei toapoear
betoro the United Sta os grand jury,no win
se-sion at Jacksonville, for several weeks,
and tho deputy in q instion was supposed to
bo in pursuit of others for the same pu pose.
This jury is trying to mase out a case of
fraudulent registration and illegal voting
in the last presidential election in this city
and county, but in reality the cause of the
animus and persisrence in tracing out
technical errors and endeavoring to create
u doubt on the honesty of tho parties con -
cerned lies deeper than is generally kniwn
outside of this city. Tne whol • matter is
too trivial to be accorded a hearing before
any court.
WILL ABBE JBLH AT ATHENS.
Annual Meeting of the Georgia, Car
oliaa and Northern Railroad.
Athens, Ga., Jan. 14. —The annual meet
ing of the directors of the Georgia,
Carolina and Northern railroad will
be held here to-morrow at I*2 o’clock.
Gen. Hoke, president of the board,
has been in the city several days, and to-day
at noon he was joined by a number of other
directors. President H oke stated to a re
porter to-dav that the business to-morrow
would be simply routine work, such as the
election of new officers, hearing reports of
different committees, and the election of a
rtew director in place of T. E. McLure of
Chester, deceased.
It is sanl to-night that a delegation of
citizens from Washington, Ga., will
be in the city to-morrow to
appear before the directors in behalf of a
branch road to run from their tow.i and tap
the Georgia, Carolina and Northern at El
berton. It is understood that Washington
will do her best, to get this road, and will
make liberal advances. The arrival dt the
delegation and the subject of this proposi
tion is a popular theme for conversation to
night.
Athens is making a desperate effort to
secure the railroad shops. President Hoke
stated to-night that he did not think the
location of the shops would come up at this
meeting. Work on the road is progressing
as rapidly as possible, and its completion to
Atho.is by summer is a certainty. The
directors present wore driven over the city
this afternoon, and w'ere very much pleased
with the many improvements which had
been made since their last visit.
QUITMAN’S GRADED SCHOOL.
Board of Directors Nom lnated—Hog-
Killing Weather Wanted.
Quitman, Ga. , Jan. 14. —At a mass meet
ing held at the opera house last night, the
following gentlemen were nominated as a
board of education for Quitman’s graded
school, soon to be inaugurated: Capt. J. G.
McCall, Rev. J. P. Word, J. W. Hanlon,
E. T. Dukes, and A. J. Sparks. The election
will occur next Monday, when the a ovo
ticket will bo ratified. Great things are ex
pected of this school, nnd it is believed that
it will have a good effect on the prospei i y
of the town.
The unusually mild winter has placed tho
fanners of this section iu quite a dilemma.
The greatly longed f r cold wave will not
come, and the farmers are at a loss what to
do with their hogs. There are thousands in
this county that should have boen killed a
month ago, and it is very expensive on the
farmers to be compelled to feed then.
Quite a number have killed anyway, trust
ing to save the meat by the use of ice, but
the greater part has spoiled.
APALACHICOLA AFFAIBS.
A Serious Accident—Mills Resume
Work—A New Canning Factory.
Apalachicola, Fla., Jan. 14.— A seri
ous, and probable fatal accident, happened
to Lee Coleman, an employe of the Florida
Shingle Mill, yesterday. By some me ins
his right leg was caught in the pully of the
shingle saw, and besides fearfully lacerating
the leg, the injury resulted in compound
dislocation of the ansle. Dr. Alexander,
the surgeon, advised immediate amputa
tion, but gave in to the piteous appeals of
tho unfortunate man. Ho cau hardly re
cover.
Tho Kimball mill, which was shut down
for repairs, is running again at a high rata
of speed.
The machinery for the Baurberger can
ning factory has arrived and is being rai>
idly put in place, and will be rea ly for
business iu a few days.
Among the distinguished visitors now in
the city are the wife and family of Chief
Justice Raney of the Florida supreme court.

BATTLE OF CHICKAMAUGA.
Gen. Boynton Shows How It Was a
Victory for the Federala.
Boston, Jan. 14.—Gen. H. V. Boynton
read a paper to-night on the battle of Chick
amauga before the Military Historical So
ciety of Massac use’ts. He said that there
had been a great many misrepresentations
j in regard to that 1 Kit tie ever since it was
fought, with reference to the supp sed de
feat and rout of t iie Twentieth and l'wenty
fi st carpi He showed ve y con
clusively that these cor s, insead of
having been defeated, fought magnificently,
iie showed also that the suppos tioa that
the army was badly defeated and its artil
lery captured was erroneous, f r it lost only
thirty-nine guns and captured thirty
six. He st ited that th- object of
the campaign was gained iu the
taking of Chattanooga, and that the battle
ws, clearlv a vict >ry for the federal army.
Considering the number of me i engaged
and t ie time consumed, it was the bloodiest
battle in history.
Brig. (4en. J. S. Fullerton of St. Louis
made some informal rem .rks on the same
subject.
THE MAD3TONE FAILED.
Fatal Cases of Hydrophobia From
Cat Bites.
Chattanooga, Jan. 14.—Miss Ida Spen
cer, a charming young 1 idy of Dayton,
Tt-un., who was bitten severai weeks ago
by a cat suffering from rabies, died to-day
with hydrophobia. Shortly after the young
iady was bitten, she had a maistone ap
plied to the wound, and if was believed t at
she would recover, but the stone did no
good.
another death.
Milton, Wis., Jan. 14.—Prof. Charles A.
Clark, principtlof Albion academy, died
Sunday night of what is believed t > h ive
been hydrophobia. Ho was bitten by a cat
last March but no serious remits were feared
at the time. Recently, however, unm stak
able symptoms of hydrophobia appeared
and his death was a very painful one. Prof.
Clark was in his 35th year.
A $3,000,000 STEAL.
Enormous Irregularities in the Ac
counts of Cleveland, O.
Chicago, Jan. 14.—A Cleveland, 0., spe
cial says that a morning paper publishes a
statement submitted by an expert book
keeper showing irregularities in the old
accounts of the cit • of Cleveland aggre
gating about *3,000,000. Nearly all this
money was paid out ; y the city without the
approval of the city council, although the
laws of the state of Ohio distinctly require
that every claim be included in the regular
claims ordinance. The publication creates
a great sensation. The most startling
feature of the report is a table showing th it
$ 1,004,030 or $2,000,000 were paid out, and
asserted to have been paid out without any
entry in any book to show to whom the
money was paid, or for what purpose. A
public meeting will probably be called to
take action, if the council ignores dis
closures contained in the report,

Women Wipe Out Illicit Drinking
Places in South Dakota.
St. Paul, Minn., Jan. 14. —A Maysville,
S. D., special to the Pioneer-Press- reports
that a farmer’s wife having learned that
the proceeds of a mortgage on her hus
band’s farm had gone to defray a whisky
bill at one of the numerous “blind
pigs,” as illicit drinking places are
termed there, collected other women
to the number of eight and sallied forth
artne 1 with pick axes, hatchets, and other
offensive weapons. Before noon the deter
mined women had broken up several “blind
pigs,” and utterly destroyed their fixtures
and furniture. The proprietors offered hut
feeble resistance, bai g taken by surprise.
A large mob attended the women on their
rounds and cheered them on.
A MURDEROUS MANIAC.
Ho Slays Three Fellow Patients at the
Florida Insane Asylum.
Chattahoochee, Fla., Jan. 14.— Last
night Bill Brannon, a patient of the insane
asylum, murdered three other patients—
David Davidson, Samuel Thaekery and B.
C. Billinger. He broke down the doors ad
joining his room and choked them to death.
Brannon is very crazy and acknowledges
his crime, but says it had to be done.
Justice Spear held an inquest, and the jury
rendered a verdict in acc 'rdance with the
facts, which attaches no blame to the man
agement or nurses. The affair is due to tho
insecurity and weakness of the do rs, parti
tions and fastenings which separate the
paiients.

wages to $3 75 per ton. By the settlement
of this strike 250 men go back to work.

BLAZ3 ON LIBERTY STREET.
Fire Broke Out in otee.e McA. White's
House.
Fire broke out a few minutes before 3
o'clock this morning on the third floor of
No. 135 Liberty street, occupied by Mrs.

occuniei the first and second floors. The I
third floor was rented, and was occu !

in the wall over the bath room aud burned
through two rooms. Au alarm was given
by the occupants of the house, who were
waked by the snoke which filled every
room. An alarm was turned in from box
No. 24, at Liberty and Drayton streets.
A good many people who knew the
location of the box thought that the
fire might be in th? De Soto, and in five
minutes the street was crowded. The fire
men rest ouded promptly and the fire was
easily g,t under control. Chief Puder was
sick and Assistant Chief Mouro had
charge of tho fire. Tho damage

SUGAR’S A SORE SUBJECT.
Extenuating Circumstances in the
Slapping of Mr. Schepp by Mr. Bend.
FVotn the fieio York Sun.
The beautiful cliroinos of the sugar trust
have caused a heap of trouble in their time.
For every one in Wall street who speaks of
them with commendation there is a regi
ment who connect them with visions of
and ipleted bank accounts. George H. Bend
of the New York exchange is one of this
vast number. lie is a big fellow and well
known on ’ch ing? as one of its strapping
athletes. Mr. fiend had something to do
with Lackawanna in 1884, and got tangled
up in the famous corner sprung on tho b >ys
by Stephen Van Cullen White. It hurt Mr.
Bend badly, but he started in again, and
ineuilod his fortunes. He rejoined his so
ciety set, became a regular attendant at the
Patriarchs’ balls, aud bis turnouts were
again seen on the road.
Everything was g ing on comfortably,
when Mr. Bend became captiva ed by the
color and quality of t ie sugar trust chro
mos. They were then in the neighborhood
of par, and shortly afterward they soared
into the 120s. Mr. Bend believed they
w ould go very much higher. Ho bucked
bis opinion only to see the certificates erase
ana crash and keep on crosbi.'g. Mr. Bend
never lost faith, though, in tho merits of
the certificates, and attributed the decline
in them to the attacks of tho bear clique.
Save with spasmodic intervals, who i the
shorts ent in to cover profits, the chromes
have steadily droppe I, and down with them
want Mr. Bend’s spirits.
Yesterday he was on the floor just
before the closing hour. The certifica es
had opened at 52, and ware than below 51.
Mr. Bend noticed that Mr. L. Schepp, the
c coanut plunger of the exchange, was
interested in mauling the certificates. Mr.
•Schepp has been a co sistent bear on the
sugar ehroinos, and he, too, has backed his
opinions. He was at it again, selling them
right and left, right under Mr. Bend’s nose.
It was his privilege as an American citizen
and as a member of the exchange.
But the sight roiled Mr. Bend and he
expostulated with Mr. Schepp. He told
Mr. Schepp of the glories of tue trus , its
profits and prospects. There was a good
deal of this, Mr. bchpp all the time hooting
out his offers to sell the certificate : . Mr.
Bend continued to offer him information to
show him the errors. <t his ways, and, finally
becoming exasperat'd, Mr. Schepp shouted:
“Bend, you talk like a fool.”
Bend isn’t used to such language. He
flushed and stepped back, and quickly re
covered aud planted his open hand with a
vici us slap full in Schepp’s face. Tlia
members standing around rush; and befcweeii
the combatants, and bade them think how
horrible it would be if the fight got into the
newspapers. A contingent of the g >v
ernors joined the throng and begged
Schepp, if he intended to make a complaint
against Bend, to do everything quietly.
Bend chose another course. Ha j ushed
through tho crowd and walking uu to
Schepp begged his pardon thou and there,
and it was given.
ROYALTY’S IDEA GF A JOKE.
A Theater Manager Made to Receive
a Donkey for a Prince.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
London, Jan. 11, —An amusing story is
told of Prince Henry of Prussia. During
his late visit to Corfu his royal highness
promised to give a command night at the
thea er. In order to avoid the crowd the
prince stepped in quietly by the stage door
and made himself comfortable in his box.
Presently a noise of wheels was heard at
the grand entrance. The manager ordered
the national anthem of Pru-sia to be played,
ana started in full court dress, with a wax
candle in each hand, according to etiquette,
accompanied by his whole staff.
The crimson carpet was unrolled aud
flung gracefully down the steps, the great
door was flung wide open, and the manger
bowing low, rtc ived a donkey which some
of the prince’s suite had so it round in a
joke. While the prince sat behind the cur
tai i of his box. roari ig with laug iter, the
band played, and the donkey brayed re
sponsively.
