Newspaper Page Text2 FIXED THE FAIR'S DATES. THE VOTE WAS F-oR 1892. BUT THE CHICAGO MEN ft ILL KICK. Two of the City’s Beckers Absent from the Committee Meeting, and Those Present Refrained from Vot ing-1 he Clause for a Guarantee of the Fund Not Yet Lispoeed Of. Washington. March 17.—There was an other lively meeting of the world’s fair committee to-day. Messrs. Frink of Mis souri and Bowdea of Virginia wi re absent from the city, and Mr. Wilson was engaged in the ballot-box investigation. Asa con sequence Chicago temporarily lost two members favorable to her, and the commit tee was tied up so as to be unable to achieve any positive progress. The fifth section of the bII was the first matter under discussion. To this section Mr. Belden of New York lan Saturday offered an amendment requiring a positive guarantee by the citizens of Chicago of a £10, 000,000 fund. It soon became evident that the committee was equa ly divided on this proposition, so it was passed over for the time. DATE OF THE FAIR. When section 2 (which leaves blank the date for holding the fair) was reached.ehaii man Candler proposed to fiii in the blanks so as to 01 ovule t r the dedicatory celebra tion on Oct. 18. 1892, and for the holding of the fair iu 1693. Tne Cmcago members cad all along declined that they were prepared to accept the views of the compiittee on this point, although perso al;y they felt that in justice t > for eign exhibitors and ii view of the delay on the part of congress acting unon the sub ject it wi uld be better to hold the lair in 1593. Therefore when the question wet put on Mr. Candler’s motion they refrained from voting, and the chairman found him self alone in voting for the motion and it was lost. Thereupon the dates were filled 60 as to require the fair to be opened April SO, 1592, and closed Oct. 20 of the same ) ear. THE BILI, READ OVER. The entire bill was then read over and agreed upon, exc ptine section 5, which wdl be acted on at another meeting to be he.d to-morrow, hen it is hoped a full attend ance will i e had. It is probable that if the Chicago men gather in force they will make an effort to reverse the action of to day, fixing the date for boldi: g the fair. FLORIDA'S CAPITAL. CITY. An Improved Terrapin—A Big Fruit Farm Owned by Englishmen. Tallahassee, Fla,, March 17.—Com missioner of Ag iculture L. B. Womb well has succeeded in crossing the soft shell tur tle with the common land tortoise, and the result is an improved terrapin, said by ex perts to be far superior in delicacy of flavor to the famous diamond backs of New Jersey. The Georgia boycott of Wanamaker has reached Tallahassee, and been indorsed by several of the merchants. T. B. Byrd has made quite a success this year in the cultivation of celery.

THOMASVIL.I E TOPICa Politics Very- .Quiet—Effects of the Freeze in a Nursery. Thomasville, Ga., March 17. —Politics is very quiet in Thomas county. There seems to be agiowing onvio-tion, how ever, tna’ the alliance i fluc-new will be felt in the political moveneats to come. Thomas county feels no special interest In the g Immaterial contest, except to have a good and strong man at the helm of state. The far : ers are divided between Liv ingston and Northen, the former being preferred. The egislative pot has not begun to boil yet. Some iively work may 1 done in that field yet. The people generally indorse the request made by the state alliance to bave all candidates nominated by primaries not earlier than Aug ist. EFFECTS of the freeze. While at Sanf rd’s Dixie nursery a day or two ago, the Morning News correspo 1- dent saw some of toe unusual effects of the late freeze. A large banana sh ub tree that was many years old was killed to the gr >und. A number < f pomegranate tre-s also were entirely killed. Bushels of Japan plums, justripem g. were destroy ed. Mul berry trees w it. n hnlies fifteen inches in diameter had yielded up their life to the frost god. An immense stecimen of the umbrella china, 2 , i>' feet in diameter, one of the first ever brougnt to this country, was thought by Mr. Sanford to be killed. A s .ml iiear tree was killed. A RAILROAD CENTER. Thomasvilleis looming up as a railroad cen ter. The line of the Georgia S uthem and Florida to this city has been located and the right of wav secured. Leaving T.fion, this road strikes down through Colquitt county, passi. g about three miles west of Moul trie, the county site of Colquitt county. This road etrer-. Tiiomasvi.le trom the e Ist, passing back of John Chastain’s Jersey farm, across the dry basin of .nitcheli’s old trout lake, and t ucun.g the right of way of the S ivannah, Florida and Western rail way a little below the Blackshear place, about one mile fro n the present depot; thence it runs parallel with the Savannah, Florida and \\ estern railway back of the Pine Summit hotel and reaches its terminal between Hansell street and Dawson street, situated immediately upon the line of the Savannah, Florida and Western railway. '1 he gi ound is level, the approach tasy and the facility to get out and down toward Florida is great -r a' this point than any where else. This location of the depot will render Smith avenue a thoroughf .re and raise real eslate values in that end of the city. The Florida Central and Peninsular rail road is preparing to build from Monticello to Thomasvitle, to connect here with the Georgia Southern and Florida. This would be a most valuable connection for both roads. A GOOD WORD FOR TATTNALL. A County in Which the Poor Are Comfortable and the Rich Are Happy. Reidsville, March 17.—“ We’ve got a raihoad in Tattnall.” This is the burden of the talk of the citizens of this county. The road is the M mtgomery, Americus and Savannah. Tattnall is one of the agricult ural counties of the southeast, bounded on the north by tne Canuouchee, south by the Altamaha. east by Liberty, and west by M mtgomery countv. Well watered, it is the finest belt of yellow pine, unt ouched by ax or saw, that is iu Southeast Georgia. Its surface is generally level, but not low nor swampy. Toe soil is loamy, with red and yellow clay subsoil from four to ten inches below the surface. While pine is the leading forest growth, and the chief tim ber tor building, naval stores, and exoort, there are alii • large bodies of oak of many varieties, hickory and hacibsrry, which are very useful la mechanical construction. Cypre.-s m the river swamps and low bot toms, winch is regarded as a sine qua non for the sh.ngle and clap-board uses, grows to mammoth size, and now that it can be util ized will doubtless form one of tho exports. Every variety of vegetable for culinary use can be produced upon tne lands in this county. As for sweet potatoes, an old citi zen said several years ago: “We tako the rag off the bush;” aud his assertion is veritably a true one, for as fine as can be pro luced are grown in this grey mixed, sa .dy soil of Tattnall. Sugarcane and all, with few exceptions, make their own “sweetnin’.” Potatoes and sugar cane may tie said to be indigenous crops and staple. Within the past decade the long staple cotton has received much at tention, and much success has at tended its cultivation. Corn, oats aud rye are grown in abundance, a id the soil appears to suit rats admirably, and orn yields corresponding to the atte - tion given. All vegetables thrive well, and thi - region is famous for its peaches, straw berries and melons. Such fruits as figs, pomegranates, grapes of every kind, (tom s tic and uncultivated, abound in prodig il quantities, the scupi ernong of the cultivated the most common. Why then should not the-e people feel buoyed up in prospect of a railroad that will enable the visitor, tourist a id capi talist t> see what ha; been so long hidden fr. m view. The Americus, Montgomery and Savannah railroad opens up an excellent section of country, and from the interest betrayed by capital investing along its line, we are disposed to say with the maj rily—“that it was just the hit of the season.” This region is well and abundantly watered, affording as fine water- powers as can be found in the north. Our winters are mild and inviting, and the summers are not hot nor oppressive, and i is conceded that Tattnall has advantages that can engage the attention of agriculturist or capitalist, and can make it worth his while to come aud see. M. R. Kvvts. CLASSIC ATHENS. Protest Against the Lard Bill—A Shooting Scrape at the Depot. Athens, Ga., March 17.—The compound lard bill now before coogress has been nil all absorbing topic of conversation here to day, and several merchants, manufactures, and consumers telegraphed their views to Congressman Carlton ibis 111 rung, asking him to fight the b.U to the bitter end. They were followed by several prominent colored men, who recognized the fact that the passage of such a bill will prove very disas trous to their race, as well as the laboring men ad ma lulacturers. A difflcul y occurred near the Covington and Macon depot late Saturday night wh eh came near resulting seriously. Tue partie.- pauts were William Fullilnve, a night watchman, and Tom Parson, a fireman. The tr uhle arose out of an oil feud. Dur ing the fight several pis o! shots were fired which are supposed to have been fired from Fullilove’s pistol, as Parsons claims tint he was unarmed. A warrant is out for the arrest of Fullilove.but it is said that be is out cf town and cannot be fou id. Gen. R. E Hoke, president of the Georgia.

Moulton, la., March !3. —The munici pal election in this little town, which was held on Tuesday, was simply the continu ance of a struggle that has been going on for years and that almost rivals in ferocity the famous feuds of the Hatfields and McCoys of West Virginia. At this elect on it war not a question of the fi:ne>s of candi dates. “Was Dr. Murdy rig.t when he killed Silas Tipt 11F was the .siu e. Dr. Murdy did the deed in a quarrel over a meat bill wuicb Tipton clai u< and was due bim, but this quarrel only furnished toe opportunity f r which the two mortal enemies nail waited for a year. If Murdy had uot kil.ed Tipton, Tipton would nave avenged his sister’s reputation by killing Murdy. ihe Tipton murder grew out of another sh oting almost as sensational. One morn ing ai.out a yeor aud a hulf ago Ab er Tnarp and ids w fe, Arilta, stepped into th> shop where Blacksmith Tom Morrison was working. M.s. Tharp is a tall, beautiful woman, who, when she was Anlla Tipton, was ttie belle of Moulton. Shortly after be coming Abner Tharp’s fourth wife tuere was much gossip abo .t her. Tharp heard of i and he thought the taik was started by Morrison. At tne shop he accused Morn son of the dander. Morrison male a q lick reply, an l the two men pickiug un the tools nearest at hand went at eacu oiber. They were struggling over the floor when Tharp cried to hi, wife: “Shoot him! Why don’t you shoot?" The woman drew a revolver from the folds of her dre s, and taking steady aim fired. Morrison groaned and tell. The bullet had hit the blacksmith in the breast, and the doctor who picked him up said he would die. Dr. Murdy was in St. Louis and Morrison’s family telegraphed for him. He return and at o:ic.\ and br hi, skill saved Morrison’s life and put the black smith on his feet agai 1. Abner Tharp and his wife wore arrested and 1 onflnel in jail. When their trial came the defense tried to -how that Mrs. Tuarp was a good woman aud that Morrison had foully slandered her. HOW HE MADE ENEMIES. Dr. Murdy was called by the pr secution, and he gave some medical testimony that hud a great deal tu do in influencing tne verdict of three years in the penitentiary that followed. The woman took her pun ishment with remarkable calmne s. She went to Fort Madison aud served a year, wiien a petition for her pardon, signed by nearly every man in Appanoose county, was seut to the governor, and she was ro leased. She is now living in Moulton with her husband, who spent a year in jail for his share in the crime, and endured his punishment with much less patience than his wife had shown. “I will kill Mu dy,” he said one threat was reported to the doctor. He laughed, but when he went out that even -1 g he put a revolver In his overcoat pocket, and he never again walked unarmed through Mouiton. For month-, the mea met in the streets without trouble. Abuer Tharp came out of jail and shot no one, although he promised to kill five or six friends of the doctor. “Tue boys are afraid of the doctor,” said Murdy’s friends, and Murdy himself went learlessly around the country by night or day with the loaded pistol within e isy reach. The teud hud almost ceased to be the talk of the village stores when the unex pects 1 occurred. The doctor sent |his colored boy down town for son e meat on the morning in October, 1868, telling him to have it charged. Instead of going to the shop where Murdy had an acc unt the lad went to Tipton’s. The butcher refused to give him the meat. “He is a dead-beat,” he said with an oath. “He owes me a bill now aid I wouldn’t tru-t the infernal quack for a ceut’s worth. Tell him I told you so.” On bis way back to the bouse the boy met bis master. Murdy had started from the house without h s revolver, and his wife had called him back and given him the weapon. He thrust his hand in his pocket and clutched the gu 1 when the boy told i.itn w at Tipto 1 had said. “1 will teach the blackguard a lesson,” h 9 said. The doctor demanded an explana tion. Tipton said the doctor owed him £5 65. The doctor said that was balanced by a creilit for me tical services re idereid Tipton’s brother, the f rmer owner of the shop. Tipton denied this and the ph. sician called him a liar. The butcher jumped forward, knife in hand, and Murdy drew his revolver and thrust the moutu of it up against his enemy’s breast. “If you make amove I will kill you, you dog!” he sh >utei. A bystu .dor jumped in and seized Tip ton’s atm. After abusing eac 1 otUer for a few minutes the men went ius.de to look at the books. Tipt >ll reached the safe a moment before the doctor, but instead of throwing open the door for the books he liftel the lid of a desk and drew out a lo ig “blacksnake” whip. Wrapping tbe sleuder lash around his big wrist, he turned wita the loaded haudle upraised and faced the doctor. There was menace in the gesture ami in the fierce light of his eyes. “Don’t strike n.e! Let me out of here!” Murdy c-ied. “I will mash your brains out before you lravel My time has come!” Tipton yelled. The n en standing near saw that the crisis in the feud bad rnvei and they ran out. The negro paused at the door and turned to see the butcher swing the whip handle down upo 1 Dr. Murdy’s upraised arm. In an ins ant the doctor's revolver was out, and before tue whip could be used again the shot was fired. Tipton tumbled forward with a cry and clinched with his foe, and when the town people rushed in they found the two men, drenched iu Tipton’s blood, wrestling feebly on the floor. Tipton lived forty-eight hours with a dreadful wound iu tne groin. The doctor was taken to Centrevillo lor trial. found guilty of murder. Aften ten days’ trial the jury brought in a verdict of murder in the second degree, and Judge Leggett, after an address of ex traordinary severity, sentence 1 Murdy 10 ten years in the penitentiary. He was taken to Fort Madison, The Tuesday following, when the train reached Moulton, a crowd f 20d citizu ,s gathered and every man shook hands with the doctor. A committee of prominent citizens escorted him to the prison. The friends of Dr. Murdy were in dignant at tne result of the tri and. and Tip t m’s supporters made no show of concealing their happiness. Amor i harp tried to purchase a wagon load of roma 1 c uidles, and failing in this he built a b mflre in front of his house and in vied everybody in to supper. A d>z n fist fights resulted from arguments over the verdict. Tne enemies of Murdv declured their intention of cleaning out the Murdy men, and the Murdy men armed them selves. This hitter feeling has been again aroused. Prior to the municipal electio 1 struggle Ibe Murdy people held a convention and nominated a “people’s” ticko , beaded uy Aimer Swift. The a iti-Mu dy me f, headed by the three p ivsic.ans of the town, put up S. S. Buckinister, an avowed foe to the doc or. The elec tion was held Tuesday. Many of those who want to the polls carried guns or knives. Friends and enemies of Murdy role in from Miss uri on horseback piepured to engage in possible trouble. Abner Th rp “uux-led” ail day long for votes fur Buck master, and his wife served lunch to the Buck master men. Their efl’ >ru wore u: e wardod. The count she ~-d: Swift, ill; H ickmsster. 58.

Tnese tragic incidents baie aided a savage spirit to the str iggle. and t efaoe of Dr. Murdy has made the murder worthy of se sous political strife.

The police had to t ike care cf three young tramps yesterday, aged 10 and 13. They came from Atlanta by beating their way on passenger aud freight trains. When they got here they found that trapping was not altogether as nice as they bad supposed, and the.' were glad enough when a “cop” gave toem - helter, with a promise that tsey should be returned to tnoir pa ents. They gave their names as He :ry Gray, Henry Hansford and Hardv Powers. Gray is the son of a factory watchman, living at No. 104 West Harris street. Hans f rd is the son of a railr ad employe, living at No 19 Ma nolia street; and Hardy Powers is the son of a dressmaker, living at No. 25 Cnne street. Han ford is a nephew of Patrick Hutchins, a fireman on the Cen tral. The boys left Atlanta Wednesday and were hungry aud tired when they reached here yesterday. When Chief Green called them out last night to ask them a few ques tions, th ) urchins limped into the office and were ready to talk about getting back home. Hansford said that he was here several months ago, and when ne went back to At lant 1 and told the othc-r boys about his tn -, th-y were in a “jiffy” to got here. They planned the trip Wednefday morning, and tnat afternoon they boarded the rear platform* of a Georgia railroad train and rode nearly to Augusta. They stopped off a night at a station, aud then succeeded in getting a nde into Augusta. They stayed ti. two days, anl stole a rideout to Yullen, a id catno in to Savannah on the fas- nail, 'ihey rode part of the wav on tis platform of the car just behind the tender. The baggage master, they said, discov ered them aud told them t > get b ick into the aggage car. Thee mductordiscovered them af era few miles and drawing up a trunk in the middle of thecar.be made the boys each in turn administer a severe board spanking to the other. The urchins said it was fun and they were willing to ex change a spanking for a ride every day in the year. When th y got down here they met a friend who procu ed them lodging on West Broad street.

Thonnesson’s coffee house on Drayton street was robbed night before last. The thieves broke in from Congress street lane and carried off whatever they c uld get away with. Silverware, dishes, food, and even the lace curtains aud tabls covers were bagged. The conference with Gen, E. P. Alexan der which was anticipated to have been h!d yesterday by Cou ty Commissioner Read and Civil Engineer Blandford, with reference to the Ogeechee ca ml drainage plan, was not had, as Gen. Alexander was out of tiie city yesterday. Avery fine wild turkey gobbler found a ready sale at the Pulaski house yeste day. The youthful captor did not weigh much more than Ins game, w hich he said he shot in the “piny woods” soutawest of the i:y. The young hunter says tiie wild turkeys have not begun to gobble yet. The custom house officials handsomely feitoonc'd. the desk of Boarding O.licer Riley yesterday in green, and even the date in the calendar, “17,” was printed in grem.

Granite blocks are being hauled to Lafay ette and Chi pewa squares, preparatory to putting in s ons curbing in place of the w oden railings. A great improvement could be ma lei 1 the s mtnern part of the city by repl ;cmg the fence around the pa rade ground .vita stoue curbing, at the same time maki g a driveway extending east and west across the center, passing around tie confederate monument. Alderman Harmon, who appreciates substantia! im provements, might take tttat important im provement under consideration. A most disgraceful scene was witnessed on Whitaker street yesterday afternoon. A well-dressed youag man, u ider the i. flii e ice of liquor, was followed from one end of the park extension to the other by a crowd of white and colore 1 boys, and th ■ thing was kept up for an hour before it was brought to the attentio 1 of an officer. Ladies who were out giving their little children an airing were compelled to turn back, as the disorderly crowd crossed and recrossed tbes rent, the greater part of the time blocking up the promenade walk in the park extension, where the greater part of travel is hail out Whiia ter street. S'jpt. Saussy of the B ‘lt Line railroad had the switch on the West Br iad street line, at the intersection of Bryan slreet, taken up yesterday and pur, down on the Bay street line, midway between West Broad and Montgomery streets. This was don > tocqualize tue distance. The superin tendent said that since theswi eu was laid on West Broad street a good deal of incon venience has l esul.ed, as the run from West Broad to Abercorn was very fast, while the run on West Broad street was verv slow.

The butchers were out of humor yesterday and Sunday. Logan and Drayto i were each expecting a car load of Kansas City beef, but the car did not come. They ex pected It Saturday and before night came they were very anxious about the cars. A go and deal of telrg -aptaing was done, but the meat did not c ms. Sunday came and the beef dealers were still without western meat. If it had been a week day the butchers would have been in a terrible strait. As it was, the demand was light and by some hook or crook the supply came, but n>t of western material. Old Georgia beef, for one time in a go and many month-, was at a premium. Tne butchers did not have time to go to church. They “humped” all day Sunday, “scaring 1 ' up cows and oxen and calves, driving them to the slaughter. This was the supply for Sunday and yesterday. In consequence of the scarcity the price ran up a trifle, but the ocsumers did not appear to bed stu. bed by it, and the Geor gia beef sold faster than western beef has ever sold in this market. The butchers succeeded in procuring enough meat for their customers yesterday, a id they have a supply sufficient to satisfy the demand this morning, in the event that their western beef does iot come. They expect it this morning, however. Simmons Liver Regulator has never failed to relieve Constipation of the Bowels Adv.
