Crawford Herald: Ed Martin of this county brings up the curiosity of the sea son. Not long ago a cow on his place gave birth to a cait that had two heads, or at least it was somewhat on the order of Col lins’ sheep. It bad only two eyes, but had three ears, the third ear coming out right in the center of the head above the eyes and between the other ears. It had two mouths complete, with nostrils, teeth and tongues. Mr. Martin says it was one of the greatest curiosities ever seen in this part of the country, and if it had lived it would have been sought by the great showmen of the world. Cartersyille Courant-American: On a wet morning of court week, shortly after Judge Milner had taken bis seat upon the bench and opened court, a huge body of plastering fell with rattling force upon the book case and desk on which Cnpt. Durham, the clerk of Bartow county, was writing. Some of the large pieces nad enough force to break out a piece of the table at which Clerk Durham was sitting at work. The noise was sufficiently reverberating to startle every one to their feet, and cause some to believe that the rear wall of the building had fallen in. As soon as it was found that no one was oetua ly injured Judge Milner rapped the court to orde. and attempted to proceed, but for the balance of the day Bartow superior court room pre sented to an onlooker a serio -comic appear ance. Necessity as well as co moil sense demauds that anew court house be built immediately. Let it be built somewhere, anywhere, but as soon as possible let tho present blot on our body politic be erased at any cast. At Atlanta Thursday night John Bassett was seriously stabbed in the back by Henry Moore and 'was struck a severe blow on the right side of his head by T. Bowles with a hickory stick. Mr. Bassett is a member of t e Electric City Cadets. He says he was returning home from a driii, when he met some members of the company on the bridge. The companionable soldiers com menced practicing on the bridge, when T. Bowles, Ileury .Moore and several others walk- 1 up. Mr. Bassett says that Bowies grabbed u hickory stick from the bands of one of his friends. The young man wanted his stick hack, but Bowies would not give it up. -. . . . I * .1 • . .A V.l Ba-sett says he remarked that if it was his ; stick be would make him give it up. Bowles then made use of a common und ugly ex pression wbioh he (Bassett) thought was directed at him, a id he asked Bowles if he ulluded to him. Bowles 'aid he meant no one in particular, but Mr. Bassett says Buwles advanced toward him and madeout as if ha was going to pull a pistol, and ho knocked him down with the butt end of his guu. When Bowles arose he grabbed Bas sett by the throat, and, while attempting to choke him, Bassett says Moore stepped up in the rear and stabbed him under the right shoulder. Bowles struck Bassett a severe blow on the right side of tho forehead with a hickory stick. No arrests have yet been made. The wounds, while serious, are not fatal. His condition at last accounts was fai orable. FLORIDA. The gauge of the Florida Southern rail way will be made standard to Arcadia.

John Mc Allister has oompleted four arte sian wells for parties south of Eau Oallie and has fivo more on hand. It Is probable that Mack and hisstaff of men will be away from home ail summer.

Dillon of Jacksonville.on account of the important business lie has in the Spring field Phosphate Company, has felt obliged to resign the presidency of the Santa Fe Phosphate Comnany and will devote all his energies to the former company. The Suwannee Rifles have resolyed to join the state troops; they have received the necessary blanks upon which to make the application, and will forward it within the next few days. It is a finely drilled com pany, and will be quite au addition to the Florida "milish.” Madison’s town marshal is summoning those persons liable to street duty to meet him, armed and equipped with such imple mo its as will insure efficient service. As some of those summoned have foiled to respond, he requests the n to rend the road law and see the penalty they are subject to as defaulters. A young white mau employed as oook on one of the Peaoe Kiver Phosphate Com pany’s dredges,laid down on the rails of the Peace liiver railroad Wednesday night, and came very near waking in the great hereaf ter. The phosphate train knocked him off the track, mashing his hands and inflicting serious wounds about the head. The poll-tax has disturbed lots of Lake county people for the past ten days. Many thought that if they did not wish to vote they could neglect paying the tax, but they were much surprised this week to find the sheriff and his deputies on the war path for them armed with bilious looking executions. Men must pay this tax whether they vote or not. The August term of Brevard county court convened Monday morning, bis honor, Judge M. 8. Jones presiding. The state was represented by D. L.

Lake City Citizen: The saw-mill trade was consummated Saturday, the Water town mills of Thomas Dowling being trans ferred to Harold Weston of Waltham, Mars. The value of the property is about. $40,000, but the figure paid was something less thuu this. Tbe transfer included saw-mills, mules, carts, land, planing mills, lease on 4.000 acres timber, ten mile3 of railroad. etc. It ts understood that the purchaser has ample capital and will improve this plant, put anew locomotive on the mill s railroad, etc., and it is supDOsed he holds the key to the seventy-five miles of unbroken timber running northeast from the Watertown mills, which would make this one of the largest enterprises in the oountry. Starve Telegraph -. Will Jon s. the negro who killed Lewis Nixon, at Gilford, had an examination before Juige Malphurs last, Saturday morning. The evidence was about as follows; Jones and Nixon got into a dispute over a game of cards. Nixon drew his pistol on Jones, but it did not shoot.

Iu about an hour the two agaiu met, and Jones walked away from Nixon; Nixon followed and again threw his pistol into Jones’ face. Finally, throwing down his pistol he dared Jones to fight fair. Jones walked away while Nixou kept on using abusive lauguage. Jones then turned and ! fired. Nixon did not fall when shot, but lived about half an hour before he died, 1 never uttering a word. Judge Malphurs decided that It was a case of justifiable homicide, and turned the prisoner looe. The last seen of him he was making tracks for Lake Butler, at the r ite of a mile a minute, the happiest darky in Bradford county.

The market opened witu small fractional gains over last night's figures, extending to % percent., and while there was some hesitation on selling of s in i short stock in Union Pacific, the tone was soon recovered and an upward mov >m nt was inaugurated, which with but slight interruption lasted throughout the session.

It was my good fortune to spend soms months every season in a fine forest and hill country in India, where my duties gave me chances of seeing a great deal of elephant, buffalo and other big game that frequented these parts, writes H. Kerbeftt Thompson. Our camp was on a partially Isolated bill, a good deal above the surrounding country. We had been some days in camp, but had not been visited by our triends, the ele phants, when one afternoon the sudden bellow of one, evidently in pain, routed every one in the camp. A hill man came up presently to say that two large tuskers were hard at it close by. Every one turned out on the hill side, from where it was easy, even to the naked eye, to see what was going on, while with a glass even the movements of a startled deer could bo made out. About TCO or 800 yards below the crowd watching the light wore two tuskers. The oas somewhat nearer us, a burly, stoutly built beast with short, powerful tusks, was evidently getting much the worst of the combat, and the white aud red furrows In his sides aud rear plainly indicated seams run by bis antagonist’s tusks. Blood could be seen trickling down his head and shoul ders. Ou the rise of the hill was his rival, a still larger animal, possessing the advantage of longer, gloaming tusks. It was a lost fight, and in a few minutes the victor, with a quick rush at the other, made a good thrust at the side, and, though there was a severe struggle, the tusk went its full length in the now beaten brute, and using all his weight the victor pres ied him down the hill, where they disengaged themselves and pre pared for another bout. The wounded tusker’s roars of pain and rage were pitiful to hoar, and though ha would have escaped if he could, the other kept close behind and administered thrust after thrust, but not In any fatal part. Pres* ontlv, wheeling around, they caine togethel with a mighty smash. This was about tha only stand made, and the weaker wal quickly overpowered by the more powerful and fresher victor. The thrusts now put behind the shoulder and into the body quickly disabled the poor brute, and, m fact, iu a few minutes the great beast rolled over dead. Next morning, on our proceeding to loot! for the tuskers, we found a large herd in an exoited state almost on the same spot where the finish had occurred. In it were several small tuskers, beside the big conqueror of the evening bofore, who seemed to instill a great deel of fear into the youngsters. Ha came now Into the open glado with a fina young female, and as he approached even the other cows there was a great out of his way. We came on tbe dead beast, which had boon butted and rolled after it was killed into a clump of bamboos. It had been a fine, burly animal, but was marked from forehead to rear and top to foot by rips and cuts. He measured nine toot *lx inches at the shoulder, and the tusks taken by tbe hill men proved slightly over lOfi pounds to the pair. The victor, which in the fight seemed to tower over his foe, must have been quite ten feet high ond hail the longest tusks I have ever seen clear of their sockets. I tried to get him, but what with his barem about him and the difficulty of getting a clear view in the long grass, I failed to get a shot. Johann Sebastian Bach's piano has just bean put into condition by a piano maker at Gohlis. The instrument is now the property of Herr Paul de Wit of into whose possession il came about twenty-five years ago. Before that it belonged to a Count Boss, who purchased il from the composer's son, Friedmann Bach.
