The two Coleuiaua waived examination and went to jail, but Kendrix pleaded innocence and was ably defended by Col H. R, Daniel. He was held for trial. Augusta Herald: The Augusta Street Rail way Company is considerable loser by Thursday’s storm. In the midst of the dis turbance a bolt of lightning got on their wires and played havoc. There are light ning arresters on all oars and at the power house, but they didn’t work. The conse quence was that one of the big dynamos at tbe station was badly damaged, the arma ture burning out. The loss on this ma chine may reach SSOO. Five cars in opera tion out on tbe different lines were also dis abled and were towed in. The damage from this will be also three or four hun dred dollars. D ring the commencement of the Hiawas see High school, in Habersham, on May 20 a dispute occurred between two young men, Alexauder Brown and John Wood, and thev agieed to take some parties witb them and go out of i'wn and settle the dispute. When they hud gotten some three or four hundred yards out of town they com menced the discussion of tbe difficulty and both became very angry and rushed to gether witb their knives open. Wood stabbed Brown, killing him invtun'ly, the knife taking effect between the fourth and fifth rib near tbe circle of the heart. Tbe cause is not known, but it is supposed to be some old feeling that had existed previ ously to that time. Wood was arrested and locked up in jail. On Tuesday night J. II Rogers, a con ductor on the Macon Belt Line, received a $5 fell' in payment of lares. He carelessly thrust the bill Into hu pocket.

Mao >n Telegraph: Congressman Blount was asked T ursaay what he thought would be tbe outcome of tbe Florida election cf a United States senator. “That’s too nice a question for roe to answer ngbt off,” he said. “I am not posted on the statute which, while it was supposed to have been quoted in the dispatches, was evidently mixed up somewhat. I can readily under stand that the governor might oonstrue the statute so as to enable him to say that Call’s election was illegal and that it was neces sary that a quorum of both Senate and House be present in joint see-ion before an eisotion can be legal. He will then appoint, say ex-Gov. Bloxham, who will go before the next Senate with his credentials, while Call goes with his. Then the contest will be referred to a committee and settled in a non-partisan way." An old French woman, accompanied by a very attractive little girl, walked into the office at the station house at Atlanta Thurs day and asked to see Chief Connolly. The girl explained to toe chief that they wanted to get permission to play a band organ on the streets. It will be remembered that some time ago the newspapers were print ing full accounts of a little girl being stolen from a convent in New York and traveling through the country playing music on the streets with an old crippled woman. The suspioloas of the chief were aroused 09 the little girl’s desoripitlon suited the description given of the little girl who had been stolen, and os the old woman had a stick which she u-ed when walking. Another woman who claims to be tbe girl’s mother is also in At lanta. The mystery surrounding the trio had not been cleared up at last accounts. August i Herald: It is very probable that an Augusta man will command Camp Cbickamauga during the week beginning July ti. During that * time the Mlileige battalion of cavalry, Atlanta Artillery, Richmond Hussars and Augusta battalion will be in camp. A month or so ago it was announced by Adjt. Gen. Kell that Col. Milledge was the ranking colonel and would be in command. Thursday morning, how ever, Col I. C. Levy of the Augusta bat talion received a letter from Col Mille lge saying that the fact had been discovered that Col. Lovy’s commission antedated by two or three months that of Col Milledge, and that therefore be (Col Levy) was right fully commandant of, the camp. Col. Milledge was very courteous and gracefully turned over the honor to Col. Levy. At last acoouots Capt. Levy hod not decided whether to accept the honor or not. Macou Telegraph: Among the men on the corner last night were Col Bob Jemison and Capt. J. L. Hardeman, more commonly known among the “boys of the old brigade” as “Preaoh.” A few small boys passed who nodded pleasantly to both of these gentle men, who returned the salute and seeme 1 glad to see their young friends. Again other boys passed, but they were strangers. “There was a time, Bobi," said the captain, “when evory child in town knew its. “You’re right,” said the colonel. "They all knew us, but uow soma of those boys and f iris are fathers and mothers of the other oys a'd girls, ami > next generation don’t know us a9 well. Ah, those were good old days. Don’t you remember the times when we used to go down to the park and devote an afternoon to the children. Swing the rope for the girls and toss ball with the boys? They were good old days, sure enough, but you and Tare just as young though the hair may De a little gray and our arms a little less Umber." Swalnsboro fine Forest: Luther Nutton and Louis Rountree, both colored, had for several months been paying their respects to tha same woman, until two or three weeks ago the woman went off on a visit, •ud while gone wrote Louis a letter, which Louis, to tease his rival, showed to him. It seems up to this time that no trouble had occurred between them, but Nutton seeing the letter must have decided that Louis had the advantage of him, and began secretly to seek revenge by taking the life of Louis. They were both down-etairs employed by Brinaon & Bro., and when on the way home the day bofore Nutton cut him a piece of green wood about three aud a half feet long, and while at break fast Wednesday morning slipped up behind Louis and witb all his might struck him a blow in the back of the head, crushing in the skull, and as his victim fell over struck him two heavy blows across the ohest. Any one of tbe blows would have killed him. He lived a few hours and expired without even uttering a word. The cold-blooded mur derer stood around until he saw that he had accomplished his hellish nurposo, and then without being molested deliberately walked off. FLORIDA.

Jackson of Denver of the famous American banyan or rubber tree at Palm Beach, on Lake Worth. There are very few of those trees known at present in this state, and the one above re ferred to is probably the largest In America. There is, however, a remarkable ban van tree on tbe Island of Nassau that has at tracted much attention, but South Florida has several fine specimens. The huge arms of his peculiar tree extend out iu every direction, and drop down shoots, which in time change into trunks, aud instead of re maining n cumbrous dependent, become a support to tbe parent branch and furnish it sustenance and life—a curious and interest ing provision which leads to one of tbe most extraordinary growths that we have in nature. The parent tree multiplies itself and becomes a group and then a grove, un til it spreads over" a tract of land large enough to shelter an army from sun and storm.

A New Custom Toat Ssems to B Get ting Quite a Foothold. From the Heie York Recorder. A little issue in a fashionable milliner's shop yestsrday was not without interest. Two ladies were bending their intellects upon bonnets, end one of them bad con ceived a certain affection for a small affair in white horsehair em broidered with gold. This the tall, dignified, and altogether awe-inspiring head saleswoman had taken from behind the glass that screened it end balanced upon her longest finger, extending it to tbe eager, dimpled blonde. Just as a gloved hand was put forth to take it tbe door opened, and a dark, demure, quietly dre-sed woman ap peared on the threshold. Without so much as an "excuse ms,” and carrying tbe be loved horsehair and gold with her, the tail saleswoman turned from htr customers and lost her dignity as she hurried across tbe room, her bead in advance of her body in its zeal to be there first and to asit the pleasure of the newcomer. “Did you ever l” said the blonde, going back in her surprise to the simple but suffi cient speech of her childhood. "No, I never!” sprang by the same un conscious cerebration from the lips of her companion. A small apprentice with a white face and a black froex followed tbe tali saleswoman, timidly reclaimed the bonnet, and even mo e timidly brought back her peace offer ing. “Why did Miss —leave me so strangely?” aske.l the aggrieved customer’ in a tone tnut was meant to convey lofty offense, but suc ceeded better—loftines- is difficult for small blond-—in expressing pique and curiosity. "I suppose,” said tue little apprentice, looking snout her furtively, os if conscious of reiults that might follow her revelation, "I suppose Mrs. , who has just come in, pays for first attention.” ‘‘And what,” asked the small blonde, curiosity quite getting the better of pique, “what is paying for first attontiou?” The little apprentice looked abiut even more carefully. "Tnere are some ladies,” sh 9 said, “who oome herein carriages and who do not like to have their horses kept standing; then there are other ladies who think they can’t he kept waiting anyhow, so they pick out the one they like best to show them things, and give her money, sometimes quite a gO'id deal, to come rigut to them, no matter what she may be doing, the minute they enter the store.” The snail blonde opened her eyes. "Why,” said she, “I might as well give up trying to buy things if i ,’s come to this, that we’ve got to fee the shop girls.” It has been made matter of reproach to women at one time and au dher that they suffer the waiters who bring them piuk ice creams anil eclairs in restauraucs to go with out fees; but whether this silent refusal to permit young silver pieces to which they have become attached to pass under the guardianship of others arise , from a selfish, it' natural, reluctanoe to part with any mem bers of their coin family, or whether it comes from a fine sense of justice and a quick realization of the emptiness of the claim ol people who are always talking to reporters about the peculiarities of women’s appotitos upon womeu's quarters and dimes —whatever may be the reason why women do not fee when they eat, certain it is that the? are learning with wonderful rapidity to fee when they buy. In good trutn, men enjoy eating; hence they are liberal to those who control the oomfort of their eating; women enjoy shop ping; hence, some little extra money is be ginning to find its way into the hands of those who control tho oomfort of their shopping. Just how far tbe feeling of shop girls has gone it is possible to determine only by the help of one’s eyes. Iu tho big houses the superintendents and floor walkers profess little or no knowledge of it, and the matter is not one that would naturallv be paraded before their eyes. The acceptance of fees is a delicate affair, when the space behind the oounter is almost as crowded as that in front of it, and the girl who receives a trifling honorarium Is not certain of the eyes or the tougues of her neighbors. Still one day, not many days ago, a woman who was watching for a chance to buy gloves learned how gloves are occasion ally bought when there are many hands waiting tube fitted. Justin front of her, as she stood patiently in tho back row, some gray suedeß had been selected. Their pur chaser sat with her elbow on tho slab, her fingers pointing skyward, while a bright eyed, clever little attendant laboriously worked the kid down. Midway in this oper ation her eyes appeared to catch sight of something interesting. Her gaze fixed itself in a certain direction, her manner became abstracted, her heretofore vigorous little fingers moved slowly, like an engine that is coining to a standstill Tnet e was no time to speculate on the cause of thi9 alteration, for a quiet voice was heard just at the spectator’s elbow. “I am in haste,” it said; “will you wait on me, please?” And then a hand reached forward. It carried a cluster of great dark jack roses, and apparently it carried something olso also, for, with a quick smile and a “thank you,” in one direction, aud an “excuse me, if you please,” in another, the clever, bright-eyed attendant had thrust the roses under the string of her blaok apron, thrust her hand a minute into her pocket, and called hastily to a girl down the counter: "Miss .are you busy; won’t you finish fitting these gloves, please?” and then count ing herself off with the old love, she was on in a minute with the new, and had down a box of sixes in evening lengths with a speed that must have satisfied tbe most ex- acting. It is at the bargain counters that one sees the most interesting phases of human nature in shopping frenzies, and a young girl who seems to believe that her low wages justify her in taking certain advantages felt her self in a mood the other day to contribute to outside observation a little inside ex perience. “Women don’t offer fees very often,” she said, “but now and then you find somebody who is so anxious to get a thing at a low price that she forgets if she gives me money it perhaps brings the bargain up to tbe full rate and more. “We had some embroidered hankerchiefs the other day that were really going very low. The women began to swarm early in the morning, and almost before we knew it we ran out of certain patterns. There was a quiet, elderly, little body who held the last of a very pretty lot in her hand. She was just telling me she would take it, when a big, fashionably dressed lady looked over her shoulder. ‘That is mine. I believe.’ sbe said, laying her hand upon it. 'I bought It five minutes ago and then went over to the stocking counter for ray change.’ “As she spoke she put her other hand across the counter as if looking for mqre Handkerchiefs, and laid a 50 cent piece be hind a box where I could see it, but it was hidden from tbe customer. “There they st od, tbe two of them, both holding the one handkerchief, the first woman puzzed, the second smiling. ‘Excuse me,’ I said, ‘this lady is right; she bought the handkerchief, and 1 was so busy I neg lected to put it aside for her.” • “And how much do you make in a week by sued extras?” "Very frequently nothing; sometimes a quarter. The most I ever made in one week was $3.” The economy of women will rise in revolt if this new feeing system threatens to at tain any dimensions.

Ed ward Pinter, alias “Sheeny Al,” who was arrested in London for attempting to swindle a jeweler in that city by means of tbe “philoeopber's stone,” by wnioh he claimed to be able to increase tbe bulk of geld, is supposed to be the man who played a similar game in Baltimore, swindling five well-to-do merchants oat of SIOO,OOO. About three years ago a man came to Baltimore and engaged rooms on North Charles street. He called at tbe office of a successful real estate agent and Introduced himself as Mr. Gephart. He said that the ■gent had been re - unmended to him as a discreet and en’erprising man, and he de sired to secure his aid in developing a mat ter that would surely bang fortune to both of them. He then unfol lea hie scheme of increasing the bulk of gold, and insured the agent that he did not wieh him to invest a dollar in the enterprise until all doubt had been removed from his rnind of the ability of Gephart to do all be claimed. He invited the agent to coll at his rooms on Charles street, when be would substantiate his claim by practical facts. The agent aooompanied him and gave Gephart a good dollar with which to make the first experiment. This dollar was placed In a small crucible and a white powder was added by Gephart. The two men took turns at a blow-pipe in increasing the beat in the crucible until the gold was melted and mixed witb the chemical. It was al lowed to cool, after which Gephart took it out, gave it to the agent, and told him to sendlt to the United States mint to be assayed and recoined. The mint officials returntd a report showing three times the amount of gold that was put into the cru cible. The same tests wit i larger amounts were continued, a.id always with the same remit. The real estate agent became con vinced of the value of Gephart’s secret, and introduced Gophart to several wealthy citi zens, with the view of enlisting them in the enterprise. The same tests were made be fore them, and they, too, became convinced of Gephart’s ability to increase the bulk of gold. A stock company was formed, and the basement of the house of one of the men interested was selected as the place of operations. It was fitted up with a furnace and an iron vat about the size of an ordinary bath tub. One of the Gold Increasing Com pany furnished about $.>0,000 in gold and the other four about SIO,OOO each. They were to share proportionately iu the profits. In tho presence of the whole party Gephart put all the gold apparently into the vat and placed it on the fire. He then put in a quantity of the powder and other chemicals. In doing this, however, he declined to permit any of the party to approach the vat. say ing that the fumes of the ohemioals would overpower any one not prepared to resist them. A top was put on the vat, and at the suggestion of Gephart extra strong looks were procured, and the vat was securely fastened with them. The same precautions ' ere taken with the door of the basement. The keys were given to the gentleman in whose house the experiment was being tried. Gephart said that the vat must not be opened for three weeks. After remaining about the oitv for several days Gephart said he was called to a distant city on busines?, but would return on the day appointed for taking out the gold. He not come as promised. The real estate agent beoame suspicious and persuaded the party to make an investigition. They went to the cellar, and, upon opening the vat. found that the gold bad disappeared, and iu its place were stones and scrap iron. The men were dumfounded. The cellar had been entered surreptitiously and the gold stolen. Health bring- happiness Take ftlmmnns Liver Regulator for stomach, liver and kid ney troubles.—Ad.
