Burke County’s Stock Law—Civil , Service Examinations —A Man Se riously Shot at Macon. GEORGIA. The people of Perry and surrounding country have petitioned the stale railroad commissioners to use their authrity t> secure a depot I adding at Perry, and also j to have the track of the Perry branch rail- j road put in good order. At Atlanta a rumor has been circulated that a compromise bus been effected where by the East Tennessee, Virginia and Geor gia trains will be allowed to enter the dapot grounds at the foot of Whitehall street without further litigation. If such is the case the local officials of the road say they know nothing of it. A sensation was caused in Columbus Thursday when Daniel Edwards, aged 15 years, wedded Miss Mary Lou Hudson, aged 14 years, Justice Bowles officiating After the ceremony the father of the groom presented him with a good dose of corporal punishment, while the blushing bride was taken home by her mother. There has been some inquiry about the civil service examinations for the railway mail service, where and when they would be held. The following places and dates for the holding of such examinations are given for the year 1891: Atlanta, Oot. 4; Savannah, Oct. 13; Maoon, Oct. 17. The civil service examinations are altogether non-political. No question regarding poli tics are asked those who go to be examined. Six districts in Burke county have adopted the stock or no-fonoe law. One or two of the districts border on the Jefferson line, and especially the Eighty-fourth dis trict. The question is a big one to the peo ple living in those districts, for they will have to fence their crops and also keep their stock up, for if they go over into Burke they will be taken up. The districts on the Jefferson side will have to keep up their stock or run a fence on the county line. Thursday afternoon a tragedy occurred at the "Bird Cage," a saloon at Macon, which may have a sequel. Robert Chris tian, the proprietor, shot and severely wounded a white man named Bart Henley. The weapon used was a double-barreled shotgun, loaded with bird shot, and which was fired at short range. The load struck Healey in the face, tearing out his left eye and inflicting other more or less serious wounds. It Is claimed the shooting was done in self-defense. Valdosta Times: Mrs. Polly Corbett of Clinch county is probably the oldest woman now living in this section of the state. Hho is in her second childhood, of oourse, but her general health is fairly good. She was married in 1818, and was then 27 or 28 years old, making her now 100 or 101 years old. The records have been lost, but it is certain that she is one or the other. Sne was born in Tennesse, and with her husband came to this section many years ago and settled among the Indians. The Marietta Journal records the death of Chaney Gann, bettor known as (Jrannv Gresham (oolored), aged 110 years. She ■was the grandmother of Green Gresham, a well-known colored man of Marietta. She left children grayhaired and infirm. Granny Gresham’s age, It is said, is verified by bills of sale now in existence. In conver sation she recalled events during the revolu tionary war, and was positive she was as old ns represented. In her later years she was quite feeblo aud required a good deal of attention. Deputy Sheriff Riley returned Thursday morning to Lafayette wittf old man Powell, who was confined in the Rome jail on the charge of incest. At the time of the com mission of the crime indignation agairst Powoll Was so strong that it was feared he would bo lynched, and be was taken to Rome for safo keeping. The grand jury of V, aiker oounty ha. found a true bill agninet Powell, and the superior court is in session at Latayotto, The crime committed is a horrible one, and it is thought he will get his just deserts. O. A. McLaughlin, writing to the Greens boro HeraJd-Journal from Union Point, says: ‘'Do you know that, the Georgia rail road never killed a passenger, not more than one, if any, in its over half a century ot service to the public? Well, it is so; and well deserves the name of “Old Reliable.” It does another thing that is praiseworthy In the highest sense. It trains all its em ployes in the running and management of its trains. Its engineers are made of boys who served their time rightou the road and know every curve, bridge or culvert on the road long before they tuke an engine. Their conductors aro baggage masters, etc. All this insures safety, promptness and success. We doubt if there is abetter managed road in the United States, all things considered.’’ Thomoston Times: On last Friday after noon one negro boy named Womack shot and killed another named Wilson Harp on the place of J. D. 11. 1 hompsen. The boys, who are about 14 or 15 years of age, resfw-ct ively, bad been to mill togotcer and had returned and stopped at a bouse where Womack's sister lived. She was out doors washing, and the boys were in the house scuffling or boxing, and a gun was in a rack just above the door, and, according to Womack’s story, duriug the scuffle it fell and shot Wiison. The shot grazed his right hand and went straight into his right breast. In a few minutes after being shot Wilson died. Coroner Dawson was notified and the jury rendered a verdiot that the killing was accidental. The uncle of tho boy killed was not satisfied that it was acci dental and swore oct a warrant against Womack for murder, and he was lodged in jail to await a commitment trial. Athens Ledger: Wednesday night Dr. Quilliun received the following cote: “My canoe is George Nichols. lam tired of life, and have taken a poisonous drug.” I)r. Quillian at once went to Mrs. Stlnchcomb’s’ on the other side of the river, where the note had come from, and fodnd that George Nichols bad swallowed two ounces of laudanum and was very near death’s door. Mrs. Stinchcomb was walking him and doing her best to keep him awake. Dr. Quillian at once went to work, and after three hours df bard labor succeeded in get ting tlio laudanum out of him and saved his life. He also requested in the note that his body be sent to A. Ridly. at Walballa, 8 C. Mr. Nichols has been a guard at Col. Jfm Smith’s convict camp for some time. It was impossible to find out the trouble that caused him to take the poison, as he gave no reason—only that he was tired of life. He is all right now, and may not make the attempt again. Bill Dooley, a negro detective, who has been doing some special work for Capt. Couch of Atlanta, is having a dose of nis own medicine. Ho win arrested by Patrol man McCoy, who charges that he Is an escaped convict. McCoy knew there was a negro working for Capt. Couch, but he had uever seen him. Thursday the negro sent word to Cape. Couch that he had an Ala bama negro treed and to send an officer for him at once. Capt. Couch sent Offi cer McCoy, who bad once been a convict guard, and on seeing the two negroes he arrested Dooley, recognizing him. he says, as a convict who used to work under him. Dooley told him the other man was the Alabama negro, and, after much persua sion, the officer released Dooley and carried tho other negro to the station house. Tho more Officer McCoy thought about Dooley the more convinced he became that he was an escaped convict, sont to the penitentiary in 1882 for twelve years, under the name of Bill Slaughter. Friday morning when Dooley went to the station bouse McCoy arrested him, and he expects to prove that he Is the right than. FLORIDA. The Suwannee County teachers’ insti tute will open in Live Oak to-morrow. Hamilton Disston aj s he expects to pro | duce 3,000,000 Pnindi of sugar this year on I his St. Cloud plantation. The tobacco industry of Middle Florida is enabling the planters to pay cash for their and add many oomtorts to their homes. Crops of tobaoeoj lately sell * n Quincy have averaged 37- ceuts per jKlund. Prices are a little higher this year, and owing to more proficiency in curing tobacco a better quality has been obtained. The'Folk County Xeu-s has started on its second year. Early, openly and squarely i. has fought for tho past twelve months for the progress and prosperity of Polk county, and it deserves tho success it has attained. Tampa is certainly favored as far as bank ing facilities nre concerned. She las threo nation il banks, with ample capital, all of which are doing a big business. They ere tho First National Bank, the Tampa National and tho Gulf National. John Chipman, ona of tho most reliable phosphate men in the state, has been spend ing some time in the Luraville phosphate region hunting for the rock. If bis exami nation rroves satisfactory, and he thinks it will, $30,000 will be expended in putting iu a plant ijpd developing these mines. The Tampa Journal has it on good au thority that 2,000 tons of 00-pound steel rail with fastenings complete have been pur chased for the Dunnellou extension of the South Florida. Delivery to be made Nov. 1. This indicates that the extension is to be built and equipped in first-class order. One of the “oldest inhabitants” has at last been located. Ho lives near Marianna, and has a birth certificate showing that he was born in 17G5. He is an ex-slavo of the family of the late Gov. John Milton, and has ap plied for a pension upon the ground that he drove a commissary wagon during the war of 1812-M5. Jacksonville Times-Union: An increase of 40 per cent, in the number of farm horses iu Florida during the last d9cade, as compared with an increase of Iti per cent, in the whole south, is a pretty good show ing for this state. During tho present dec ade there ought to be as great au increase In the number of horses raised on tho Flor ida farms. Orange County Reporter: The wool growing business in Florida is a more im portant item than it is generally conceded to be. In the twentyflve counties of the state where sheep are raised, the July bul letin shows there are 111,500 sheep, from which have been clipped this year 339,300 pounds of wo iL Walton county alone has 40,000 sheep, thafjproduoe 125,000 pounds annually. The supreme court has rendered a de cision in tho I. T. Garner case, reversing the judgment of the circuit court. Garner was indicted for the killing of J. T. Lash ley at Branford about fourteen months ago, was triod, found guilty of murder in the first degree and sentenced to be banged. A motion for anew trial was made and over ruled, and an appeal to the supremo court was made. The decision of the supreme oourt grants the new trial. What might have been a very serious ac cident ooourred at tho mill of tho Tampa Lumber Company last Friday. One of the flue boilers explode 1, fortunately hurting no ope. The damage to the mill was slight and work will not be interfered with, there being enough reserve power to keep all depart ments going. The boiler will not be re paired, but the pair will be replaced by a 100-horse power tubular boiler, which will cost to put iu about 31,000. Improvements at Port Tampa city are inoviug steadily forward. A number of new streets have bean surveyed and graded and new houses are constantly being pro jected. There aro men whose opinions are sound who predict that within two decades there will be a continuous settlement from Port Tampa city to the city of Tampa. Hundreds of opulent citizens have their eves on that stretch of the bay shore known ns Myrtle bluff as a suitable place to locate future summer homes. At Tampa the Florida Central and Peninsnlar Railroad Company is having Us docks on the river front in the garrison ex tended several hundred feet, upon which a track has been laid, and in future cars will be run along side of vessels, and freights loaded from one to the other with com parative ease. This is only one of the many evideneos of the rapidity increasing busi ness of this road| and tho general prosperity of the country drown the gulf coast, the products of which find an outlet through Tampa, and by this line of road. Orlando Reporter: At this writing the daily output of commercial phosphate in the entire state will reach fully 1.5U0 tons. Within the next throe months, with the improved machinery which is being intro duced, the yield will roach 2,509 tons per day. The net value to mine owners ami workers at present is about 34 per ton. The demand is unlimited, and is increasing rather than dirnisliing, while the supply seems to be practically exhaustless. This great industry will increase ratner than detract from the vust fruit and vegetable growing iuteresis of Florida. It simply adds another and far greater element of wealth. The present decade will show re sults which will surprise the world. Valuable Watchos. . One of the stories ot the rapi 1 rue and decline of the cow baroa owes authorship to Col. Jim Britton, says a Fort >Vor:h (Tex.) correspondent of the St. Louis Olobe-Demoerat. In the days when Texas had a railroad commissionship, with ouiy ornamental functions. Col. Britton was ap pointed to 1111 it. He discovered the lack of law to make the oiHoe in any way efficient and sent in his resignation, saving that he did not oare to draw a saluiy for doing nothing. There is not another instance of this kind of ponscientiousuess in the latter years of pie-eating in Texas. But while he was commissioner Col. Britton went out to Abi lene. The time was the Hush period of the cattlemen. Millionaires were thick. At one of the "exchanges’’ of Abilene Col. B. itton was a witness to a controversy be tween two of the new millionaires. These cattle barons had just returned from their first trip to New \ ork, where they hud gone to get rid of some of the cumbersome profits, and to have a royal time. "Jitn,” said Jake, "that’s a pretty fine .watch you’ve got there.” "Yes,” replied Jim; “I got the ticker of a fellow in New York. 1 reckon it’s the finest in Abilene.” "Well,” continued Jake, drawing one from his pocket, “here’s a better one.” “Reckon not," said Jim. " What’d yours cost?" “Raid $315 for her,” said Jake. “What’d you give for yours?” "Cost me #350,” answered Jim, with a triumphant gr n. Jake was blue over the discovery that he didn’t own the costliest watch in Abilene. He stood, holding the now despised chro nometer in his hand and looking at it. Bracing up after a few moments, lie said: “Thero ain't much difference between ’em. But I'li bet I can throw mine further than you can yourß.” Kverybody laughed and lcokad at Jim. The latter was not to be bluffed. (Juiok as a flash ho replied: “I’ll just go you onoon that." The crowd went out into the rocky street. A scratch was drawn. It was agreed that the man who threw his watch the farthest should have what was left of both watches. They threw, and the fellow who won led the way back into the exchange and sot up the drinks. “A few months afterward,” said Col. BrittoD, concluding the narrative, “I was back in Abilene. I saw Jake and Jim. Each had a Waterbary, hni when he pulled it out of his pocket he held it in both hands for fear it would drop on the floor and get hurt A "Mr. Oatboy." said his employer. “I met you Sunday night and you bore unmistakable signs of being intoxicated." ■•W-well. sir ” replied the ycuug- clerk, “I hope you won't be hard upon me, but I confess I—l ha-1 taken a little too—" "That's ail right." said the old man: “I only want to know where you vot it.

Chicauo, sept. s.—Businss in tne wheat pit to-day was light and the market du.l and feat ureless There was little news of any kind, and none that was influential. In the absence of busiuess the feeling p weak. December wheat opened at $1 W>X®IIXH4 held at $1 OJU4 ®! 00)4 some time, th n touched $1 0)54. Tne closing oabios came in lower and price) sagged in sympathy therewith to 91’ 90, but mere was areaction to $1 00)* and re-named dull and woady till within ten minutes ot the close, when it advanced to $1 004 4 . closing tie lower. Corn was easy early, owing to the fact that the weather map failed to show anv s-rious frost anywhere In the corn belt. This encour aged the short sellers and there was less demand ts cover The opening price of October was 59t*®59) 4 c, but it at once began to break and I soon sold at 59*$c Then on the report that a 1 cold wave had appeared In the northwest aud was moving toward the corn belt, there was a little scare, which was heip-d along by vigor ous bidding by the clique, and October jumped to 6 but the excitement soon subsided and tbe price fell back to 59j$c. During tbe last hour corn developed a good deal of weakness on suspicion that tbe clique was quietly selling all the market would take, am October, after touching OOtqC, broke to 59c, rallied to 59j$c and closed at 1.-ldc. Oats were stcidy, with fluctu ations confined to a range of 54 ' and closing at yesterday’s last price to *4c lower. Provis ions had quite a boom. The feeling among the outsiders was bullish, and there was good spec ulative buying and covering of shorts. Packers, however, are fighting the advance. They claim to have no faith in tbe supposed benefit to be derived from the action of Germany, but it is generally supposed t noy aro more concerned aNmi the probable advance in live hogs, which would bs prettv certain to follow a marked advance in hog products.
