Rochelle Xew South: A negro man was discovered by the crew of the local passen fer lying near the railroad near Seville ead and horribly mangled, a few days ago. It is not known whether he was killed by a train the night before, or was inurdejed and laid upon the track. Perry Home Journal: About three years ago seven men hi Perry paid f 1 each to start a savings 1 ank. T e bank is now operated under a state charter, i< bleated in a build ing owued by its stockholders, a id during the last twelve months over $'250.00J of business was transacted thr ugh its cashier. Thursday morning at Brunswick people residing near the gas works were startled by the screaming of a woman, who after ward proved to ba Jane Williams (colored), whose husband had, is the outcome of a quarrel, teaten her soundly with an old umbrella stick. AVilliams escaped before on officer could be summoned. A negro man attempted to swing on to a rapidly moving train in the yards of the Savannah, Americus and Montgomery railroad at Americus Wednesday and was thrown to the ground and seriously hurt. He received iiumer ius bruises and was con siderably jolted up all around, and may have received internal injuries. Americus Times: Dave Dudley went to work In his blacksmith shop yesterday. The people of Americus will bid him godspeed in this direction. In fact, Dave Is too g'xxi a negro to become a politician and a mal content. He is a good blacksmith, and just now the south aud Georgia need good mechanics more than they need politicians. Monday evening at Carrollton, Bill Ben son's wagon, driven by a negro boy, went out to near Hon. W. F. Brown’s f;er some fodder. The boy in driving around tbe house to the fodder staok, drove into a well, both mules going down into the well, some fifteen feet deep. With some difficulty they were gotten out, tbe mules being un injured. During the North Georgia and Alabama exposition a large excursion of northern capitalists will visit Rome. The party wdl oonsist of two carloads of Massachusetts capitalists. They will arrive in Rome during the second week of the exposition and spend two days. Arrangements have aJI been made to entertain the party during their stay. Jim Bradfield of Augusta got a 10-year - old white boy drunk, and then induced him to steal a box of cigarettes for him. Brad field was bound over to the city oourt for receiving stolen goods when lie knew them to be stolen, and he will also be prosecuted for getting tbe boy drunk. The boy, who is a cripple, was sent to jail for ten days for stealing the cigarettes. A child of L. Brown, Sr., came near being drowned Saturday at Rochelle. The child was playing round a flower pit in the vard, which was filled with rain water, and by some accident fell into it, and when dis covered was so nearly drowned that it was thought to be dead. By prompt attention, however, the child was resuscitated and was doing well when last heard from. At Americus Wednesday, Charlie Hudson, a lad of 12 or 13 years, while skating had the misfortune to fall violently to the floor, breaking his arm. The fracture was a bad one, and l)rs. Haw kins and Brooks were oalled in to attend the sufferer. The broken member was re set, and the little follow, at latest account, was getting along quite comfortably. Tuesday night, at Americus, two negroes broke open a window and entered a res taurant kept by a negro woman named Hanna Wood, on lower Cotton avenue, and stole from the house about $26. Wednes day, two negroes. Mallard Thompson and Bedson Gibson, were arrested for the theft aud most of the stolen money recovered. In the cabin occupied by the thieves a num ber of other stolen articles were recovered. Thursday Robert Aearton, who attends the McKinnie place in Jefferson county for M. G. Gamble, got his left arm and hand badly torn by a gin. From the elbow down the ileih was tom off, and the muscles and bone exposed. He iB sufferiug greatly and it will be a long time before h gets relief. He as trying to unchoke the gin, when the saws caught his coat sleeve and in a few seconds bis arm was cut to pieces. K. H. Henderson, a merchant of Senoia, had bis safe in biH store blown open on Tuesday night aud $250 taken from it. The work was evidently that of professional thieves, as the s ife was drilled from the side, and wrapped in a bolt or two of jeans and a lot of calico, all of which was made perfectly wet, after which about 1,000 pounds of flour was piled arouud it to deaden the sound, which was done so effect ually that a gentleman sleeping across tho street did not hear it. Brunswick Post: Bad whisky flowed freely W ednesday, and some of the voters. imi ibed too freely for their own good. This was the case with Dick Johnson aud Rube Jones, two country negroes, who were in town Wednesday. They were returning t)ome together and had gone as far as the powder magazine when a dispute arose over the merits of an old shot gun. Finally unable to restrain themselves longer, a knockdown and drag out fight was the re sult. The fight ended only after Jones had been knocked into insensibility. Train No. 22 of the Covington and Macon railroad, while crossing the long trestle at Hard Labor creek, near Madison, Wednes day, met with what came near being a very serious accident. The wet weather hall caused the track to spread, and as the pas senger coach was passing over the trestle, after tea cars had passed over, the coach jumped the track, and was precipitated forty feet. Seven passengers were aboard who were badly bruised, but none very seriously. The car was smashed into a thousand pieces, and it is almost a miracle how the men escaped with their lives. Conductor liaworth was severely injured. While a freight train on the Georgia rail road was passing Almon Wednesday, Toni •Smith attempted to get aboard, aud in his effort was thrown violently to the ground, receiving a severe cut on his face and several bruises about his head and other portions of his body. Smith had been a fugitive from justice for more than three years, and there are bills of indictment for three separ ate offenses {lending against him in Newton superior court. He was taken to Covington after the accident, and on his arrival the sheriff took charge of him and placed him in jail. The offenses with which be is charged are wife beating, pointing a gun at another and resisting an arrest. Tom Moreland was shot and killed by John Trippe, near Drayton, Dooly county, vy ednesday. The last grand jury indicted Moreland for selling whisky at the Penne hatebie camp ground, Trippe being one of tbe witnesses. The two men met in the road Wednesday, when Moreland, who is a powerful man, gave Trippe, much smaller than Moreland, a thrashing, aud followed him to Drayton. On reaching there, More land continued to abuse Trippe, when the latter picked up a double-barreled shotgun loaded with buckshot, and emptied the con tents of both barrels into Moreland's head and neck, killing him instantly. At the coroner’s inquest Trippe was exonerated. Moreland bore a de-perate character. Sandersville Herald: The Herald of the past week contained the announcement of the marriage on Sept 30, on tile public highway, of Matthew Durden of this county 1 , ru^.k'^k’ a .^' arrly Mutton of Johnson county. On Tuesday last a well-dressed young man walked into Judge Newman’s office, and asked him if be had issued a marriage license for Matthew Durden and Carrie i Button. Judge Newman told him he had, showed hi n tbe record, and informed him that the license had been returned, stating that the marriage hail been performs!. "Mv God!" excla.med the young man, “that was iny wife.” The unfortunate man seemed almost dazed by the intelligence and soon left. It seemed Mr. Thompson had left some time ago for South wesi Georgia, and while absent his wife eloped and married Mr. Durden. Sunday evening Joe Pettit of Gilmer county was shot and severely wounded by uusuown parties in ambu.h, about two miles ami a half from Elhjay. Ha wus passing through a very thick pieoo of woods when suddenly, without warning, he was shot, the ball entering bis right side and Denetrating ti.e plueral cavity. The wounded man managed to get back to tho bouse of John Ellington, about 800 yards from the place where he was shot, where he was assisted into toe house. The attempted ass'issination is a mystery, and has aroused the righteous indignation of the people, who will make every effort to bring the miscreant to jus tice. Mr. Pettit, some wesln, since, recoiveil an anonymous note signed “White Caps,” wiruing him to leave the country, which he refused to do. There is much excitement over the affair, and the mystery is stiil un solved. The shot was suppo-ed to have been made with a small-bored rifle. FLORIDA. Taylor county rejxirts a good corn crop. Daytona has a full-fledged dramatic clah. Circuit court will convene at Perry next Tuesday. Baker county’s corn crop will be unusually heavy this year. Fleas are unusually thick io Cocoa since the big Are there. The total receipts at the Tampa custom house f>r the month of September were $73,264 87. The Reporter is informed that several of the Lake City truckers are preparing to increase their acreage in cabbage this sea son. Somebody at Montverde, Monday, put a load of buckshot into a negro man who was caught stealing, and then took him to Tavares. The second installment of cattle, consist ing of three car loads, consigned to parties in Key West, was shipped from Plant City on Thursday. A deed transferring what is known as the John B. Dell phosphate land to the Alachua County Pnosphate Company was recorded in the circuit clerk's office at Gainesville Wednesday. The consideration is $3X1,000. R. H. Church’s saw-mill, about two miles northeast of Lake City, was entirely de stroyed on Friday night last. The origin of the tire is unknown. This is a severe blow to Mr. Church, as bo had no lnsuranoe whatever. Chemist Malvyvan of Ocala has received a superior sample of chiua clay, white as the driven snow uud as smooth as face pow der, from Lake county. It is used in m iking all kinds of flue porcelain ware. The deposits are immense and tbe owner has a fortune. Lake City Tobacco Plant: Cotton is corning in pretty briskly now. Wo notice quite u number of wagon loads of seed cot ton and a good many bales of lint. This has the effect of brightening up business considerably. Little Tom Elmore, the “Boy Wonder” of Alachua county, treated the people of Fer liaudina to one of his masterly violin per formances recently. Tommy is a musical genius. He is only 8 years old, yet plays the most difficult compositions of Chopin, Beet hoven, Bach aud other masters, with perfect ease and great expression. Cocoa Public Spirit: A.Z. and W.F. Dixon caine up on a large bear while riding on the St. Johns prairie last Saturday. With a Winchester rifle they could easily have bagged the game, but having only shotguns and light shot, they had to let bruin off. They report "bear signs” plentiful about tbe hammocks iu the flat woods. Fred Robinson (colored) had his horse stolen Saturday evening between 8 aud 0 o'clock while standing hitched to the wagon on Hamilton street. Lake City, near Mose ley’s grocery store. The theft was com mitted by a notorious ex-convict thief named Perry Alford. The horse has been recovered and the thief is in jail. A bold) robbery was committed at a Chinese laundry on Lafayette street op posite the Missing Link saloon, Tampa, Wednesday night. A colored man knocked the laundry man, Wo Chung, down with a club, then robbed the till of its contents, about $lO. a-d broke for the scrub like a quarter horse with Marshall 801 l in hot pursuit. Cocoa Public Spirit: “Crawling into a hole and pulling tne hole in after you” has been practically demonstrated, we have been told, by a solitary unfortunate experi ence with an artesian well at some point oil the river below this. The casing to the well is said to have dropped <1 >wn, down, dowii out of sight and the surrounding earth quickly filled iu and closed up the opening. Cocoa Public Sjnrit: Cassava is the oomiug root crop of South Florida Sev eral unsuccessful experiments have been made in its culture, and there is doubt that it is at all valuable. So, years ago unsuccess ful experiments with pineapples made peo ple doubt the value of the fruit, but perse verance in the effort to grow pines has re sulted in a $70,000 crop the past season. There is mouey and prosperity in cassava culture. Keep your eye on oassava. J. R. Irvine came very near meeting with a serious accident while participating ill the shoot of the Orlando Gun Club Monday afternoon. In firing off his gun, which is a comparatively uew Parker, the barrel burst, the piece fortunately Hying from him, how ever, but had not it been for a steel hand protector that he was using, his hand would undoubtedly have been torn to pieces. As it was, no damage resulted other than a severe shock to his arm and a slightly swollen eye, where a small piece must have hit him. R. J. Wright writes to tho Eustis [Lake Region as follows: “One year ago there were 92 orange groves within a radius of 134 miles of the postoffice at Tangerine, with an area of 596 acres. Allowing 5o trees to an acre would make 29,800 trees. Most of them will he in profitable bearing within the next two or three years. The estimated crop for last winter was 4,800 boxes. Now, at an average of one box to each tree, we will have in round numbers 80,000 boxes, or 120 carl, ‘ads, with an in crease from year to year.” Eaton and Phillips, charged with the murder of Adam A .derson, and G. C. Mil ler, under fine for violation of the revenue laws of the state, and a negro by the name of Charles Spencer for a fine," made their escape from jail at Lake City by prying and cutting through the barred windows of the jail. A short-handled ax had been surreptitiously conveyed to them by some means and with this they accomplished the work. The prisoners were not confined in cells. The cells were filled with maniacs, who should have been received months ago by tbe state asylum. At the Cocoa schoolhouse, only a few weeks ago, the maps and c arts w ere found sadly mutilated. The house was at once securely nailed up and fastened so that entrance was almost Impossible. Word was sent Supervisor Andrews a few days ago that the house had heeu brok -n into. On going out to investigate he found it true. The windows aud glass doors were broken and ingress had been foroed. From the changed position of several desks aud seats some theorize that the schoolhouse lias at present been chauged into a gambling den. The citizens are on the watch and intend to use stern measures with the culprits.

A Significant Meeting of the Efflng bam Alliance. t The county alliance of Efflughatn county tviil meet at Springfield Oct. It) to consider matters of importance. It is thought by some that this meeting has reference to selecting suitable candidates to fill the vari ous county offices. There will be a lively contest in January, judging from the nambor now reported td be in the field. County School Commis sioner Rev. H. 8. Wiogard, in speaking of the loss of Effingham in popuiatiou since 1880, says the late returns do not corroborate the returns made of the school population. In 1884 a canvass of Hie school population, which embraced all ohildron between tba ages of 6 and 16. was made, and the return was 1,790. In 1890 the enumeration shows the number to be 2,100, or an increase in six ytars of 310, an average of over fifty a, year. With an increase of over $490,000 ia taxable property it is preposterous to say Effingham has lost its population. A gentleman in speaking of the tax re turns, a day or two ago, says the receiver's books do not show the full value of Effing, ham’s property. He cited one instant** wuero a gentleman was offered $5,000 for j his place and rofused it. The tax digest shows the same property to bo returned at. SI,OOO. (J. B. Gnann, one of Effingham’s best citizen’s, died last week at his home near Springfield. At the last Memorial day in Savannah the Chatham county veterans invited tne veterans of several counties to u its with them in the observance of the day in Sa vannah. It was particularly noticed that uoue of the veterans from Effingham were present. It is understood that the invitation from Savannah only reached the secretary of the Eftiugh&m association a few days ago, which accounts for the absence of the Effingham veterans o i that occasion. Judge 8. 8. Pittman of the county court, after a few days spent with his daughters id Havannah, has returned to his home in Springfield. Uuyt.m continues to grow, notwithstand ing the Macon and Atlantic has given the people no assurance that the road is des tined to enter the town limits. The new Baptist churcn frame has bsea raised, and wo: k is rapidly progressing, and when completed will be a most pleasing ornament to the town. 19. G. Heidt, whose horse at.d buggy were stolen from him some time ago, recovered the horse n"ar Lyons, on the .Savannah and Western, for days since. It appears tbs thief, after leavi g Guyton, reached Mr. Finley’s place, where be made a trade, and wi! h the new horse left for another section. Guyton can boas : of two as clever rail* road and telegraph officials ns can he found in any placo. John Shearouse as agent aud day operator has proved himself a most efficient agent and enjoys the confidence of the Cet.tral’s patrons. Mr. Mounce, tbs night operator, ably assists Mr. Shearmm and is a young man very highly esteemed by those who have business with the office. Miss Annie Winn left last week to entaf Wedeyan Female College at Macon. Mrs. Swoll and daughter, with Mrs, Choatham and family, nave returned to Savannah. George N. Nichols, Esq., and family ha 7 returned to Savannah. Mrs. T. F. Stubs and family, after an eri, tended visit north, have returned to Gap' ton.
