Several parties i f white men were seen hurrying about the Streets, and it was soon found out that they were after a negro, and if they bad gotten him they would have dealt ha ably with turn. It appears that a young white girl of about 16 summers bad been seen with a negro at the upper bridge, and tbut the6omenbad come to the conclusion that ho was not in tending anything good. The sensation, traced to its culmination, resulted in estab lishing the fact that the young girl was run ning away from her husband, and that sue was being aided tn the escape by this negro. She married the man in March and she says he has t eaten and mistreated har, and that she wants to get away from him. The property on which the Kiser building at Atlanta is located was not considered very valuable property until about IRR2. One day Maj. McCracken, who bui;t the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia rail road, was beard to say: “I am going to pur chase that, property if I can get it at the figures I understand it is offered nt.” Tho price isnot remembered, but he added that "property as near the ce ter of a growing city like Atlanta will be worth f 1,000 a trout foot in twenty years.” Maj. Mc- Cracken bought the property, liel I it a short time and sold it for a large pr. fit. The man who purchased it sold it f r a good pr fit, and Maj. Kiser, in eight years from the date of Maj. McCracken's prediction, refused an offer of SI,OOO a front foot for the prop erty. The First Georgia cavalry, together with companies of the Tenth Georgia cavalry ind the Fifty-sixth Georgia regiment held a reunion at Carrollton Saturday.

Morrison called the soldiers to order at the park, and Judge Sampson TV. Harris dt>- ivered the welcome address. The nex' speech was by Capt. S. T. Kiugsberry of Savannah, a member of the Tenth Georgia who was followed by Capt. George W. Austin, Col. J. L. Cobb, Capt T. M. Kelly, Rev. J. M. D. Stalll. gs, Hon. Go irge W. Harper and Col. J. J. Morrison. Four thousand people were present. The next reunion will bo held at Cartersvilie, on the last Wednesday in July, 1892. The Ball Ground News says that Ball Ground ‘'came honestly by its nanm,” and gives this humorous account of it: “On July 4. 1532, the S]aniards and Italians played the first game of ball on what is now the center of the town. i. e., the location of the calaboose. DeSoto was cap tarn of the Spanish nine, and Old Hundred, better known as Long Meter Doxology. was cap tain of the Indian nine. The owner of the fountaiu of youth umpired the game. T ward the end of the eighth inning Give Me a Chaw Torbaker Jack, an Indian brave, undertook to steal second base aud was put out according to tho umpire’s decision. In the fight that followed the umpire was killed, and with him perished the secret of the location of the fountain of youth. Wince that tune this lias been called Ball Ground. This story also settles the question of wbv the fountaiu of youth was never found.” The Lafayette Messenger has received the following letter, which explains an ugly rumor: “Altus, Ark., July 14.—News bos reached This country that a report I as spread all over Walker aud adjoining r un ties aud in all the county papers that .Mor gan Cumptou, son of Willis Cumpton of the Cove, has been banged. I feel it a respect due his kin and friends to write you a card for publication in your valuable pat er. M rgan Cumpton came to this place in Jan uary, I°9o. He has bought and paid fora nice house and lot in tbo town of Altus, Frank lin county, Arkansas, where lie is living quietly and doing well amidst a host of fiiendg. He has never had any difficulty, or a word of trouble w ith any person in this section. and he has not got an enemy in the whole country. Tho person who circulated such a report is nothing less than a low-life, rotten-hearted villain. Lordro Frazier." Quitman Sun: Deputy Sheriff Wade went out several weeks ago to arre,t a party. As he neared the house he saw two men standing outside, near the door. As soon as they raw him one of thorn started off at a2:40 pace, closely follow-d by Sher iff Wade, who, every now- and then, threat ened to sbiot him if he didn't stop. Bu: he he didn’t stop—only slowed up a little, and then mended hi* gate rapidly as the sheriff neared him. This 'as kept up tindl they were quite a distance from the house, when the supposed evil-doer allowed himself caught. As the sheriff seized him by the arm he gave a loud ha! ha! ha! and e - claimed: “Mr. Wade, I don’t reckon you wautrue!” And he didn’t. Ycu have seen a partridge frightened off her nest while setting. Well, the follow played the par tridge act on Jesse, aud while he was thus engaged tho man he went out to arrest de parted. That’s all, except that Jesse ac knowledges the "sell” like a little mau. Capt, Harry Jackson has returned to At- lantafrom a trip to Okeflnokee swamp. He is locating tho line of tho canal that is to drain the swamp iuto tha !St. Mary’s river. He has had two or throe surveys made, and the present survey is to determine where he will locate the canal. He expects to be able to drain a large part of tbo swamp with a canal not more than seven miles long. Capt. Jackson says he lias discovered some of the most valuable timber in tho United States in this swamp. He has taken samples of it and wifi be able to show it be fore long. It contains inexhaustible quan tities of oppress of the very best quality. Capt. Jackson was iti his office talking to Coi. D. C. Bacou, who is ono of the best posted men in the state on timber, and was showing him some of the samples of his tim ber, Col. Bacou picked up a block of very white wood, and said to Capt. Jackson, "Do you know what that is!” “Yes,” said Capt. Jackson, “I only know the name given to me by tho people who live about the swamp.” “Well,” said Col. Bacon, “is there much of this iu the swninpi” "Thou sands of it,” said Capt. Jackson. “Well,” said Col. Bacon, "that is more valuable than mahogany. It is called ivory wood, and is used for making piano keys, inside decora ions of the finest kind and so forth. The Pullman Car Company uses a quantity of it for inlaid work and other fine work iu their best cars. You have a fortune if you huve much of that kiud of timber." Thomas Webb, a negro, committed a felonious assault on the daughter, agod 10 years, of J. N. Smith, living six miles from leuuUle. After committing the outrage Webb told the child that she if ever breathed the crime to any one he would kill her. Frightened to death almost the little one kept the secret a week, until it was acci dentally disclosed. Mr. Smith’s three som and daughter were hoeing cotton on the farm. Doing in a hurry to complete the work the boys were putiing in some hea y licks. The boys reached the end of their rows some distance ahead of the lit tle girl and were a good ways on the back ward turn before Mr. Smith's daughter reached the end of her row. When she ar rived at the end, Torn stopped from behind some bustles, grabbed her and pulled her back to tbe little grove. Here he committed the outrage, and thou threatened her life if she revealed the crime. Perhaps the crime would yet have been conceded but for the fact that the child contracted a terrible dis ease from the black villain. She is now be ing treated by Dr. Peacock and at last ac counts was getting along as well as could be expected. The negro fled on the day his crime was discovered. Since committing that doed Webb has per petrated another outrage—this time in Johnston county, about ion miles from Wrightsvilie. While flefing from the posse from around Harrison, Webb came across the 7-year-oid daugutor of Jarrett Hurst, a worthy colored citizen of that county. The mother of the child caught him in the a t of committing the outrage, but was unable to do anything save t give the alarm. He then made his escape and has since been successful in elud.ng the officer Hurst, has bad bad luck with bis daughteis. About three weeks ago, his oldest daughter was outraged by a negro mao. Tbe negro man was oaptured and placed in jail at VVrigbtsviUe, but was after ward taken from tbe jail uud disposed of. it is not known whether the mob were his friends or enemies. At auy rate, the negro has not been beard of nor seen since. FLORIDA. The city council of Ocala bns ordered the erection of the fire escupe ladders to the opera house. A 3-year-uld sou of Joseph Allis >n, on Sil ver Springs run, died last week from ail over dose of laudanum. The child had seen its mother give the other children a dose from the but le and it took up the bottle from tbe table and b fore any one could prevent it, swallowed about two drams. It died in a few hours. Wednesday morning Joseph Johnson and Charles Campbell, wrhite youths of about 12 years ot age, wero brought to Ocala for robbing the Blue Springs posto’lieo of $7 50. On iVeduesday they had a hearing before Hon. Hugh E. Miller, United Stales c immissioner for the Northern district of Floi Ida, and the case was postponed until Friday. Silver Springs Times: Tbe citv fathers held a meeting last Monday night aud de clared tho election of April 17, also tho one of July 10, null and void, from the fact of their not baviug been held at the place which is fixed by ordinance. One of the proclamations calling both elections was not posted in tho plaoe designated by ordi nance. This is a big blunder, but it has been done twice recently. Fensaoola News : The steamer Florence is now being driven by anew and a valu able wheel which her owner came by in a bargain which will boar relation. The screw is of brass and was formerly part of the barge office launch Penrose. The latter dropped it in the mid lie of the bay ono day and the collector hired a diver to recover it. When it was brought up the diver wanted $75 for the job, but the govern ment’s representative told him to keep the w heel as they had mado requisition for an ther. The diver subsequently sold the screw to Captain Boa Rochoblavo for $45 and it was put to the Florenoe’s shaft a few days ago. The wheel Is worth c jnsiderabiy over SIOO, TIIE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, JULY 27, 1891. Pensacola News. There is in the show window of the bank exchange a veritable specimen of the piloeerus braueh of the cacti tubuloaae, otherwise known as we 1 to the botanist as to the general public as the old-man cactus. It bears a striking resem blance, with Its profusion of long, attenu ated, hair-like spines, to the head of an old man, and is probabiy the first of it- kmd ever seen hereabouts. Tho plant seldom grows to a greater bight than two feet in hothouses, but reaches from twenty to thirty feat on its native s ii. The specimen here referred to is about 31 x inches in high.. It was purchased from a saiior, who gath ered it on the coast of Madagascar, aud who cullb it the "time plant.” SOUTH CAROLINA. Dr. J. M.

A little boy of the Isbel family was playing with a 41-caliber pistol, and a littlo colored girl was n-ar by who, when tho pistol acci dentally went off, received the call in her left chest, dangerously near the heart. Kay Aldrich, a colored Baptist preacher front Columbia, went to Spartanburg some time ago,and set about establishing a church. About two weeks ago he began to revert to the wild state and took up his a’ode in a pile of telegraph polos on ihe Air Line, away out of town.

A prominent physician, who has made a study of suicide, said the other day: Why should a man kill himself I The popular answer is, “Because he is crazy.” Scloutiflc men easily dispiove that, but are still somewhat at sea in devising a better answer. Was tho philosopher, Seneca, orazy when he entered the warm bath and opened his voius* Wore all the hundreds of It inmos who mado happy dispatch of them selves insane? Surely not. Tho Greeks rarely committed suicide, but at one time it was quite the fashion in Rome. It is tho rarest of rarities for a slave to commit suicide, though a slave owner often does. Extensive inquiry fails to de velop a single oaso of an American negro’s committing suicide, though there have been a few cases among mulattos and octoroons. Sunil it be said, then, that tho superior race is the suicidal? Surely not, for the Greeks were at least the equals of the Ro mans. Tho solution must be sought else wh re. Perhaps religious belief has something to do with it, but it would be hard to prove it. One fact, liowovor, gives us a clew: Among tbe lowest races of mankind and in the low est intellectual gradosoi any society suicide is practically unknown, end among tho highest in race or culture it is extremely rare, while in the middle or lower middle classes it is most common. It is those who are midway on the course, whether as races or individuals, those who are in the strug gle, who lose heart and rush unbidden into eternity. This is only another way of say ing that where the battle is fiercest there are the most wounds ami sudden deaths; those who have won the victory and those lying idle in camp and designing no strug gle are fairly well satisfied with the situa tion. The cultured and well-to-do Phila delphian is, on the whole, as willing to live as the nakedßenegauibian. Tho causes assigned for suicide are to tho last degree curious. In muuv cases weli-to do suicides simply allege that they are tired of life—the monotony of it is too much for them. An English gentleman left a note to the effect that he was tired of “earning in and going out, laying down and getting up, buttoning aud unbuttoning.” A Load u cabman wrote that he had exhausted all the pleasure of driving in this world and wanted to see l ow they drove in the other. Strange to say, love and poverty furnish the smallest number of cases, and mere bodily suff uiug the greatest. But the saddest cases are those in which u whole family dies together, a-d of these the Salford ease, which occurred some years ago, ivas tho most mournful of ail. Salford was a druggist’s assistant, threat ened with the loss of position aud provorty. He succeeded in gaining his wife’s consent, as his letter said, that the ‘‘whole family should go together,” but she did not want to know wbe.i the fatal dose was given. So he gave her and the youngest child prus.ic acid in a oooling drink as they lay down for the night, and in a few minutes they ex pired without pain. One by one he disposed of tbe other five children in tho same way— “all in peace and without pain, thank God,” be wrote, tie then drew up his will, went out aud obtained the signature of witnesses, returned and wrote four letters, and tuen swallowed tbe poison, and was sjou u corpse. Huch a case is beyond analysis by a healthful mind. Vet we cannot say it was insanity. It is soarcely possible to conceive of any method of suicide not already employed by someone; but whenever one strikes a novel method he is sure to have a host of imita tators. Hanging, drowning, poisoning, and other forms of cutting, shooting, and jumping from high places are most com mon. Many women have swallowed hot coals, powdered glass, and other de structive articles. Cleopatra applied an asp to her bosom, and it is worth EDUCATIONAL. Mrs. ObJSRNETTE'SKSSS SCHOOL ATLANTA, <4-A.

Women hare a horror of ser pents, a:d they are not easily obtained at the time desired. France leads all other notions in suicide, as in the last year for which we have the record 210 persons killed themselves in each 1,030,000 of the popula tion, and the increase is rapid. Of 7,572 suicides in one year oue-fifth were in Paris, and smothering by charcoal fumes is the favorite method. In London nearly all suicides are with the knife aud razor," aud it is plain t :uth that in this respect the British are the worst “cut-throats" in Eu rope. A DANGER SIGNAL Wtat the United States Corporation Bureau of Chicago Shows. From the Philaicljthia Public Ledger. There is an establishment in Chicago styled the “United Sta’es Corporation Bu reau which reports that the newly com pleted corporations in the United States for the week which euded last Friday (July 10) numbered 2G9, with a "capitalization” of $73,858,038. Carried through tho whole year at the same rate this would make the annual corporate “capitalization’ of the United States nearly #4,009,000,000. From tiiL it would appear that corporation mak iug and capitalization mtlation is one of the most active aud fertile industries of the country. So, indeed, it is; but is it so sure that it is a w iolesome industry—good for the wh le public, or evea tor the permanent welfare of those directly engaged in it I Nobodv well informed on the subject can believe that the ao ivity shown in this direc tion is anything else than a ‘‘pernicious activity"—one of the very worst in its in fluences. If the “capitalization” which fig ures so largely was an actual organization of real capital, that is, money and other proper.y, real or personal, easily convertible into money—aggregated for the purpose of oarrrying out some productive or other u eful work —that would be a thing to be glad of and to encourage. But it is well known that it is not so in regird to a very large proportion of tho grist turned out by these latter-day corporation mills. What is “capitaiunii >n” in the sense in which it is now s 0 commonly used by pro fessional “promt tors” and projectors! “A. X. E." “H. W. M.” ‘ls. G. W.” or others see a chance to put into their individual purses much money of other people, and they accurdingh got up a cunnany. Ti e only “capitalization” needed for that is to invest a few dollars in tho purchase of a charter and reDt for office room. Then they look around for something to go into business on—some scheme. It may boa project to run anew railroad from any where to nowhere; or to secure an option on a great spread of unproductive laud to be bought by the acre aud sold out by the foot; or the refusal of a lot of rattle traps of any kind whatever to make the show of property and business with. The whole thing, “franchise” and all, may have a market value of SIO,OO0 —sometimes not oven that, or tha half of it. The next step is to have share certificates or loan cer tlfip >to* printed. Tien comes the business of "capitalization,” the main question being how much of each sort of certificates is to be put out. If tee thing is wjrth SIO,OOO of fair money value, they “stock it” for SIOO,- 000, aud then “bond it” for another SIOO,OOO mofe—aud then you are with your “corporation” and your “capitalization.” “It is just as easy as lying,” and they make "stock” aud “boud” for a $1,900,000 as well as SIOO,OOO if they choose. Then goes out a* prospectus, with m ips aud pictures and things and estimates of profits and all that; aud in oometbe "vic tims” to inquire and get caught and the “sharps” to These are a medley group in thetr variety—some of them being simply crednlous people -some of them be longing t) the “get rich quick” order—and others of them being quite as sharp and un scrupulous as the “promoters” and projec tors of the corporation and “capitalization” schemes themselves. L is a serious drawback to the census con cerning companies, corporations aud "capi tal” that there is reason to believe, aid in fact to know, that a very largo percentage of the re urns are i.flaola and “watered” after thii fashion. How much i: "wind” and huw much “water” there Is unfortu nately no way to toll with any precision. We do know, however, that with many of them, when ordinary business pressure cotues upon them, there is no issue but thin air. and that when others have to go into “hquidatiori” there is uothmg left after the water has all run out. Far from being a came for gratification or boasting, the large multiplication of such corporations, and the great expansion of such "capitalization,” as notio >1 in the Chicago bun *•* of corporations—the weekly aunouuco'r.-wts of tneir increase should be taken as so many warnings aud danger sig nals to be ou the lookout. GO I DIAMONDS S' BOM A Q3AVE. A Californian's Second Wife Despoils tbe Body of Her Predecessor. From the Philadelphia Times. A unique story ojiues from Madera, Cal. Cameron Dvceis a well-to-do fruit and ialer of that neighborhood, and within the pa-t year has taken to himself a see ml wifo. His firs: better-half was a lady very wealthy in her own right, and the possessor of a number f valuable diamond ornaments, amo <g which was a pair ot rings. Dying, sho requested that she be buried in these, which was done. The second wife, it ap pears, on hearing cf these valuables, thought herself much defrauded, and in sisted upon her husband opening the grave of the deceased Mrs. Dyce aud getting them for ber. This be declined to do. In spite of tears and sulks, and the lady finally ceased to importune him, but it began to be whis pered a week or two ago that she was wear ing a pair of earrings so singularly live those of her predecessor that the iatler’s friends were convinced they were the same. This coming to Mr. Dyce's ears, ho charged his wife with having employed soma one to open the grave and steal tho jewels. Bhe admitted that they were tho earrings in question, but declared that, finding no one w illing to do the thing for her, she h id he - self gone at night and disinterred the coffin, and, inking tho jewels, replaced the lid, replied the grave, and then walked back home five miles. Mr. Dyce denounces tho woman as a ghoul and refuses to live with her any longer. The affair has created considerable stir in the neighborhood, wnile the author ities are rattier at a loss as to what meas ures to take in the matter, involving as it dies several d-bcate points in law.
