to investigate reported to-day that he found
two mules belonging to W. H. I'ent of
Knoxville suffering from the complaint,

presented well-defined symptoms of

city to-morrow to determine whether some
thing over s3:io,Otto worth of bonds should
be issued for the building of waterworks
and sewers. A lively newspaper di-cussion
Res 1 eeu going on for s me time in the local
papers, some writers advocating sewers
without water works, and some water works
without sewers. Ex-Mayor Hillyer, who
has taken a prominent part in the discussion,
this morning sprung the point that the elec
tion would be illegal, because no registration
of yoters has been hold. City Attorney
Gocdwiu examined his books to-day, and
as a result the council to-night held a meet
ing at which it was decided to postpone the
election indefinitely, pending a decision of
the supreme court on a case from the
Albany circuit involving a like point.

SHARP TRICK OF A PUGILIST.
A story is going the rounds here of a
Sharp trick practiced by one professional
pugilist on another in Augusta within the
past few days. An athlete suddenly ap
peared in that city, who had cleaned up
everything in Birmingham and Charleston,
and he proposed to do the same for Augusta.
An Atlanta man named Dacey, who runs a
gymnasium there, accepted the invitation
of the challenger, and under an assumed
name knocked him all to pieces. Augusta
was surprised, and pronounced the thing a
fake, and tried every way to find out how it
happened, but no explanation was forth
coming.
AN ALDERMAN SLAIN.
He is the Victim of Three Bullets
Fired by a Foe.
Griffin, Ga., March 7.—Last night
Alderman J. H. Powell was shot by Milton
McCullough in front of George Seymour’s
bar. A difficulty had occurred in the bar be
tween the men over a trival matter. They
passed out on the platform in the front
as if friendly, when, to the
surprise of everybody within,
three shots in rapid succession were hoard.
It was soon learned that Jack Powell had
been shot. The first bill is supposed to
have simply produced a flesh wound. The
Becond struck Powell on his left side, in the
neighborhood of the heart, and spent its
strength by the time it passed through the
letters and a memorandum book in his coat
and vest pockets. The ball was afterward
found in Powell’s vest pocket.
THE DEATH WOUND.
The third ball struck him in the left side
of his back, passed through his body, taking
a downward coarse, and stopped just inside
the skin in the lower part of hi- right side,
producing a wound which resulted iu his
death at 4 o’clock this morning.
Powell is well known throughout the
state. Ho had been drinking for some da vs,
and it is suppo-ei this had something to'do
■with the shooting.
McCullough is a man who is classed
among the sporting men of the citv, and
not long ago shot a man in a difficulty.
After the shooting he ran through an ullev
opposite to the bar and made his escape.
Powell’s father is iu Valdosta on business,
and has been telegraphed. Powell about
tw o years ago married a granddaughter of
Maj. M. R. Rogers of Macon, and leaves a
■widow and one child.

The Keeper of the Hebrew Cemetery
at Brunswick Has a Narrow Escape.
Brunswick, Ga., March 7.—J. Menken,
keeper of the Jewish cemetery in this city,
had a narrow escape from death this after
noon about 4 o’clock. Menken was engaged
in cutting down a tree. He had it nearly
cut in two when, without warning, it fell
upon him and hurled him to the ground
■with terrific force. He was picked up in an
unconscious condition and conveyed to a
neighboring house, where an examination
disclosed the fact that he was severely
bruised about the head, face and neck. Ur.
Eurford, the attending physician, expresses
the opinion that, although badly hurt, the
chances for Menken’s ultimate recovery
ere favorable.

TOOMSBORO’3 BURGLARS.
The Two Suspects Sent to Jail in
Default of $5,000 Bail.
Irwinton, Ga., March 7. —The Tooms
boro burglars. Hart and Rogers, have been
committed to jail under bond of $5,000
each. The evidence against them
was very strong. Chief Kenan, of
the police force of Macon, testified
that the handwriting in a memorandum
book left in the store on the night of tho
burglary, and found by Mr. Baum, corre
sponded most strikingly with the writing
oil a slip of paper upon the person of
Rogers.
Chief Kenan further said that the chart
found upon the prisoner, Hart, corresponded
exactly to the chart found in the store of
Mr. Baum on the morning after the bur
glary.
A negro woman, Amanda Bradley, who
lived near Toomsboro, testified that she
provided dinner for a suspiei ms-looking
man on Wednesday, and the burglary oc
curred that night. When the prisoner,
Rogers, was pointed out to Amanda, and
she was asked if she recognized the man,
she said: “That’s the very man.” A negro
woman, who lived a few mile3 above
Toomsboro, testified that she gave two
suspicious-looking men dinner the day after
tho robbery. The woman’s name is Harriet
Carswell; she also identified the men.
Joseph Pearson, whose store in Gordon
was burglarized some few weeks since, iden
tified on the stand a watch upon the pris
oner Rogers. In the behalf Mr.
Griggs of Macon testified that, to the best
of his ability, knowledge and belief, he saw
the prisoners in Macon on the night of the
burglary. A negro man testified absolutely
that he saw them in Macon on Wednesday
night. The negro’s evidence didn’t go for
much. When Rogers and H ire were first
arrested in Macon they said they had never
been in tho neighborhood of Toomsboro.
Later they confessed having been there,
but on a different errand than charged
them. Everybody feels confident the right
men have been captured. Tue fi .al trial
comes off in April.
ENTERPRISING EASTMAN.
The Saw-Mills Hard, at Work Level
ing the Forests.
Eastman, March 7. —Eastman is in a
prosperous condition. It has one of the
neatest court houses of any country town,
two large hotels, three fine churches, a com
modious academy, and forty or fifty stores
and shops. It is doing a thrifty business,
despite the numerous small towns t .at have
sprung up in the county. The inhabitants
are intelligent, enterprising and moral.
Several very large saw-mills are rap
idly using up the timber along the
railway, and are running their tram
ways into more distant forests.
It is believed that after the timber is re
moved the plowman and the vi o-dresser
will occupy the lands thus cleared. That
they are capable of a high state of cultiva
tion has already been demonstrated. The
skillful and industrious farmer of small
moaus mighthoro find a healthy, prosperous
and paceful home without venturing to the
far off west.

ROMANCE AND LIFE INSURANCE.
The Secret of Eurne’ Reappearance
After His Beet Girl Had Held His
Funeral.
From the Chicago Herald.
About eight years ago ama living in
Pecatonica, 111., who may be called Burn s
for short, insured bis life in the Provide it
Savings Life Assurance Company of New
York for #6,000. He made the policy pay
able to a young lady for whom he had de
veloped a singular degree of fondness, but
had never married. Shortly afterward he
to k out an additional Jl.'iOO policy in
another company, and proceeded tnereaf ter
about his regular business. He was in
good health, and one day in December be
went to the river for a season of skating,
declining any company. He went skim
ming over the smooth surface of the river
till he reached a point three miies from
town, whera he passe! a group of men load
i g wood, shouted a gre iting to them and
pass and out of sight. Trey reoognizei him
and remarked on his grace as a skater, but
thev never saw him agiiu.
Burns never came buck to town. His
Pecatonica friends never saw him again,
and bis loss was mourned bitterly. In a
day or two a group of boys came up from
the country along the river, four miles from
town, and said that they saw a mail whose
description answered Jthat of Burns come
skating toward them the morning of his
disapp arance while they were attending to
some muskrat traps; that he was performing
some marvelous gyrations, and tnat he sud
denly disappeared i.i an oponing in the ice
Burns’ friends found the marks of his skates
from the very point where he had put them
on down to within 300 yards of where tho
youthful trappers had treed a muskrat.
Here they found a hole about ion feet acros-i,
formed by a spring which prevented the
water from freezing. The skate murks led
to the very edge of tho hole, and there were
lost.
It looked like accidental death, and Miss
Matilda, the charming beneficiary under the
policies of life insu ance, askoi that the
money be paid her. But until the body was
produced and identification fixed beyond a
doubt the soulless c irporatiou declined to
contribute. Along in April tho ice was
well out of the river, anil the bed was
dragged for the body of Burns. The body
of a man was found some distance down
the river. He had on Burns’ clothes.
Burns’ skates woro on his feet, and in one of
the pockets was found Burns' open-face
watch. The identification seemed com
plete. Matilda wept over the remains, and
then dried her eyes, caused decent burial to
be solemnized, and —asked again for her
rnone \\
But chief among those who examined and
identified the body was Dr. Pills, who had
passed upon Burns’ application for insur
ance. He seemed exceedingly interested in
the case, making many trips to Pocatouici
and comforting Matilda by almost daily
visits. He cheered her so effectually that
on July 4 they wore married, and the girl
laid aside her weeds the day she was wed.
For some reason the company still objected
to paying the insurance money, and suit
was brought to compel them. They found
Burns had made a will by which the doctor
inherited all his little worldly wealth,
and this, with some other facts, still
induced them to question the validity
of the claim. The case did not
come to trial until the following winter,
and then one day Matilda’s lawyer pur that
young lady on the st >nd and showed her
cas;? to the jury. Her physician husband
followed. Then came the persons who had
seen Burns strap on his skates and start
down the river; then the wood haulers who
saw him pass; then tho boys who saw him
disappear in the sink hole; then the coroner
and jury that sat on the body found in
April; then a cloud of witnesses who had
viewed that body and pronounced it all that
remained of Burns; lastly, the policies o£
insurance, and the plaintiff closed. It
looked like a dear case, and jurors and
spectators exchanged glances as the defend
ant’s attorney nsked for on adjournment
until the following day. Was he going to
offer a compromise?
Next morning the court room was filled,
and every one wa.on tiptoe to see how
much of the #IO,OOO Matilda secured. Bill
Evans, a barber, was placed iu the witness
chair by the defense.
“Were you acquainted with John Burns?’
he was asked.
“I was,” he replied.
“Is Le living?”
“He is.”
“How do vou know?’
“Because 1 am looking right at him now!”
Ail eyes followed the barber’s keen
glance. Judge, jury, lawyers, witnesses,
everybody rose upland gazed in horrified in
terest at an apparition near the door. There
stood John Burns sound aud well. The
baiber was discharged and ho took the
stand. His identification was instantaneous,
complete, unquestioned. Even Matilda
broke down aud wept, though something
more than joy at seeing him mav have
moved her. Tne doctor grew white and red
and white again, then fainted outright.
Burns told his story. He and tho girl and
the doctor formed the scheme to got
#IO,OOO from tne insurance companies.
Ho was young and careless, and
willing to take some risks. The doctor
was to take #3,000, the girl #3,000, and
he was to have the balance. Then he was
to marry Matilda, and with her leave the
country. Ho pas ed the wood haulers on
the ice, and almost immediately after took
off his skates, went ashore and struck off
through the woods, whi<*h were bare of
snow, and got a train at a station ten miles
from home, and went to Chicago. Then he
went up to Wisconsin and found work in a
saw-mill. He corresponded with the doctor,
taking an assumed name. When the com
pany demanded the Body the doctor wrote
asking for his skates, watch, and the clothes
he wore on that fat and morning. He sent
them, but saved the letter, which was now
produced in court, and in which the state
ment was made: “I have a good ‘stills
about your size which I can use.”
One day a young man representing an
accident Insurance company visited the
sawmill, and Burns, among others, took out
a small policy, calling himself John Burns
Brown. When the contest for the life in
surance came on this accideut company
gave the defendants a hint which induced
them to go into tho Wisconsin woods and
find the man. At first’he denied his iden
tity, then be admitted it, but said he never
meant to convey the impression he was
dead or to defraud anyone; that he walked
away boldly and in sight of all men. But
when told that Dr. Pills had married
Matilda, and that th v evidently meant
to gather in all " the life insur
ance. John caine dear down. He con
fessed the scheme. He showed the doctor’s
letters, in one of which were the words: “1
put the body iu last night. The ice is fast
breaking up, and I was none too soon.
They will drag t!;e river Monday.” Burns
said in conclusion that lie would not have
cared if his girl hadn’t married, but her
weakness and tho and etof’s evident treach
ery led them to overreach. The sequel was
that the doctor spout two years in prison
for his share in the fraud. Burns got off
lighter, and the woman was not prosecute I.
But how about the ina i whom the hoys
saw skate into a sink hole in the river!
Well, they simply lied.

A DGG IhAT ATE MONEY.
He Would Swallow Anything That
Would Ring-, But Counterfeit Money
Was No Go.
From the Ckiearjo Tribune.
Like Ur.-us and Homo, Billy Wriglit and
Danger were good friends. Billy Wright
is a man and Danger was a dog. Billy
Wright is ruuimig a saloon on Wabash
avenue and DaDgor is dead. He was blown
up in an explosion in a manhole the other
day. He was a sagacious animal, and Billy
often said that ho knew more than half the
men who came in to take a drink over the
bar. Danger’s name did not fit him,for the
reason that he was not dangerous. On the
contrary, he was the most forlorn-looking
cur tnat over escasped the poundmaster.
One ear was gone, he squinted in his left
eye, a sec iou of his tail was missing, he
limped badly, owing to a dislocation in his
right leg, and at some time in his life a beer
wagon had ruu over his back, coinpletly
marring whatever little beauty he mig it
have possessed. Then someone scalded
him. Nobody ever knew where Danger got
his food. Billy said he guessed the dog had
a meal ticket over on the West Side. At all
events Danger never ate auy .hing around
tho saloon except money. It may sound
strange, but it i3 a fact, nevertheless, that
Dancer would swallow anything in tho
shape of money from a 1 cent copper to a
silver quarter. He seemed to have a Den -
chant tor small coin, and never lost an op
portunity to gobble up whatever came his
way. If a customer chanced to drop some
of his change on the floor Danger was there,
literally speaking, with four feet. Before
the astonished patron knew what had hap
pened his nickels and dimes had disappeared
down Danger’s capacious throat. Then the
bank would be closed for a time, and Dan
ger would crawl off to his corner and pre
tend to sleep, looking out of the corner of
his ej-e for uuothor opening.
“The funny part about it all,” Billy used
to say, “is that you can’t fool ’am with
counterteit money. They often try it on
’urn with load nickels and tin beer tabs, but
he is too wise.”
Shortly > efore Danger died a stranger en
tered tlie saloon. He called for a drink, and
in receiving the change dropped 3o cents on
the floor. The ec o of the ring had not
died away before Danger had snapped the
com up, and sneaked behind the stove.
“Here! How’s this?’gasped the man, as
bis eyes bulged out like the bull’s eye front
ton watchman’s dark lautern. “Where’s
that money gone?”
“Dog swallow edit,” replied Billy, noncha
lantly pulismng a wine glass with his
apron.
“Dog swallowed itl O, I guess not.”
“Well, I guess yes," returned Billy* care
fully replacing his glass back of the bar.
" What! a dog eat money 1”
“Sura."
“No. O, no.”
“Try ’uin with a silver dollar,” sail Billy,
complacently drawing himself * “suit” of
bee:.
The man looked at tho remaining change
in his hand, lojked at tho homely cur op
pai ently asleep.
“Not in a thousand years.” he said.

t’es I consider myself entirely cured. I believe
Hood's Sarsaparilla will do all that is claimed
for it. ’ J. B. Smith, Collector for Bell Telephone
Company, 73 East Main street, Rochester, N. Y.

and I recommend it to all who have that miser

street, Brooklyn, N. Y.
"Feeling languid and dizzy, having no appetite
and no ambition to work, I took Hood's Sarsa

"My health was very poor last spring and
seeing an advertisement of Hood's Sarsaparilla I
thought I would try it. It has worked wonders
for me as it has built my system up. I have taken
four bottles and am on the fifth. I recommended
it to my acquaintances. J. Matthews, Oswego,

Extract from the proceedings of the Savannah
Benevolent Association. Jan. 14, 189'.
GEORUE LEWIS COPE
Has been borne from his bouse forever.
No more will he be seen upon the earth, even
by those who loved him most; no more grace
the highwavs of the city, nor give honor, dig
nity and faith to the places where he sat. Pru
dent in counsel, pur.- in heart, gentle but with
firmness, just in ali his dealings, faithful to
every trust, in charity unfailing, he deserved
and achieved prosperity and honor. His stead
fast and ui stained career, filled with "pea 'e
and good will toward men,” was an example
for youth and maturity alike to emulate and
follow, and so, when the great reaper gathered
this ripened life he bore it away as he that in
his bosom binds and bears away his teeming
sheaves.
One of the original founders of this Associ
ation, he was. during three and twenty years its
first treasurer, serving through the memorable
epidemics of 1854 and 1371 with unflinching de
votion, and when he resigned his office and sur
rendered with scrupulous care the great trust
he had held, he was elected an honorary mem
ber and presented with a fitting testimonial of
the grateful appreciation in which his long and
valued services were held by this Association.
Nor did his interest then cease, for he still con
tinued, almost to the last, to promote its wel
fare by his counsel and service.
Deeply deploring the demise of our late asso
ciate, lamented in every relation of his life, but
bowing to the will of Him whom he uever
doubted, we respectfully tender to his widow
and family the assurance of our sympathy in
their great bereavement and sorrow.
Regained, That tne Secretary of the Associ
ation do inscribe these res duti ms on aseparate
page of the minutes, and that a copy of the
(same be transmitted to the widow of our de
ceased associate.

PLASTICO.
Plartico is properly Anti-Kalsomine and
Anti-Wali Paper. It possesses advantages over
paper and kalsomiues that it ought to displace
them entirely, both for plain, cheap work and
the most elaborate, as it will keep buildings in
tetter repair at a less cost, and much less, if
the cost and inconvenience of removing old
coats of kalsomine and wall paper is consid
ered, and the same materia! is adapted to
HEAVY RELIEF WORK, Modeling, Combing,
stippling, Blending, etc. It produces any de
gree of this work in solid tints, the outer color
being maintained all the way through to the
wall or base, through the blended portions and
all, so that any abrasions are the same color as
the surface. Sets slowly, and yet harder than
the wall itself, and hardens with age. Call and
examine specimen of work.
