The most important case that is to be

court this week is that against John VVhid
den, charged with ao-essory to the murder

who was in Dawson Saturday Btated that
Holmes’ body had been taken up by order
of the court and the bullet extracted. The
bullet, so the gentleman said, fits the pistol
of Will Alexander, who was in the diffi
culty as the murdered man’s friend. If this
is true it will greatly lessen the crime of the
defendants. Wbidden and Osborn were
carried from Dawson to Fort Gaines and
were put on triai yesterday.
Dawson Nexus: Harris Fitzgerald is a
quiet and well-behaved negro who waits
upon J. H. McClelland at bis bar. But Hor
ns is a very much agitated man at present,
and is not at all in an easy state of mind.

ing him not to remain In the city, and in
timating that if he did not go at once he
would be severely dealt with. The second
one of the notes was thrown through liis
window one night about supper time, and
his wife says she saw an unknown negro
running from the window when the note
fell to the floor and attracted her attention.
The third note was picked up near the well
in his yard by his wife Wednesday night.

ties In Dawson Saturday, and the pot boiled
Considerably. Besides the congressional
candidates, those wanting county offices

Capt. William Kaigler, F. W. Clark and
TV. S. Dozier are in the race. W. H. Gam
mare wants Sheriff Christie’s place, and the
sheriff wants it himself. J. D. Laing, W.
R. Baldwin ar.d F. Nasworthy want to be
tax collector. As yet no opp sitiou has de
veloped to the incumbents of the other

ties are lively and will get much livelier.
At 10 o’clook Tuesday night a strange
woman appeared iu the yards of the East
Ten lies'ei road in East Rome. She was
dressed in black and wore white gloves.
Engineer Pearce got down off of his engine
and went within ten feet of her, and as she
approached him he retraced his steps. She
then stepped into the middle of the
track as the cars were being baoked down,
and as she was seen to be in danger, Con
ductor Haw kins signaled the engineer down.
Then be approached her to pull her from
the track, when to his surprise she had van
ished. A search was made in all directions
for the woman, but she could not be found.
It is believed by msny thst her notions in
dicated that her purpose was to commit su
ieide by having cars to run over her, and
the cause of her sudden disappearance was
owing to the fact that she had oeen discov
ered.
Probably the most remarkable occurrence
ever* known happened in Dawson last
Wednesday. Martha Roundtree, the well
known negro woman who kept a restaurant
at the south end of Main street, now occu
pies a grave at the cemetery, the result of
a sneeze. The physicians of Dawson say
that they have never heard or read of a
similar case. Wednesday the woman, as
well as usual, was at her restaurant
attending to her work. She
had just left the rear of her eat
ing saloon and walsed to the front when
she attacked with an excessive spell of
sneezing sod coughing. She bad been
afflicted with hernia, and the strain was so
great as to burst a hole in her stomach
large enough to Insert a hand, and through
which tho mteatiue. protruded. Surgical
aid was celled in and her stomach sewed
up, which ga7e temporary relief. She llu
gerud until Uu Saturday afternoon, when
she died. The viotlm of this remarkable
occurre- ee was a large woman, weighing
240 pounds.
Brunswick Timet: M. A. O’Byrne,
fleurge A. Mercer and Edward S. Elliott of
Savannah have been in the city several
days in tlw Interest Of the heirs to the
* state of the istc Capt. Thomas Burke. The
deceased vu well knowu hers, having been
a resident of this <-|tjr for msny years. He
owned considerable property, among which
was water lot Mo. 1, non occupied by the
Bruns*tek and Western railroad ticket of
tic-. Oid town lot No. 40* and pvt or the
whole of Use lot now occupied by
Use residence of Alderman tv.
V. I'tiuuumu, The attorneys oseu*
tioned came here for the purpose of investi
gatiug the titles held by the present owners
of the lots, and also to ascertain the s. atus
of other property belonging to Capt. Burke's
estate. The visit may create some uneasi
ness among the occupants, as the ghost of a
lawsuit looms up before their mind's eve.
As far as could be ascertained by a Times
reporter yesterday the titles to the property
are good, and there does not seem to be any
room for apprehension.
Atlanta Journal: The Atlanta Odd Fel
lows want the orphans’ home located here,
and at the mass meeting Wednesday night
displayed their earnestness by starting a
large subscription list and talking in a man
ner that will overoomsall otetacles. Three
places want the fits: Atlanta, Griffin and
Gainesville. The two last mentioned towns
offer nothing better than about $4,000 In
land and cash. will offer nearly
$15,006. The Atlanta Suburban I.and Com
pany offers five acres of land, two miles east
of the city, worth $2,000 an acre, with free
school privileges. Besides this #IO.OOO, or
near it, will be subscribed. Over $3,U00 of
that amount was raised last night in a very
short space of time. Cfpt. J. W. English
presided at the meeting, and the following
gentlemen made enthusiastic talks: A L.
Kontz. Judge James A. Anderson J. G.
Woodward, J. B. Goodwin, Jacob Haas. A.
M. Reinhardt, A. G. Rhodes, K M. Mitch
ell. On a motion mode by Mr. Goodwin
a committee of two from each lodge was ap
pointed to solicit subscriptions from mem
bers who were not present.
Tslbotton New Era: Our citizens wit
nessed a spectacle Saturday night, the like
of which was probably never seen in this
land of queer doings. During the perform
ance of Frank’s minstrel troupe at theopiera
bouse, the judge of the superior court, the
jury and the lawyers in the Ealy murder
oase were seen to file into the opera bouse
and took their seats just under the foot
lights. •‘Bones" and "tambourine" were
interrupted in the midst ot their "chest
nuts" and a drama in real life was enacted
on the stage. Tue opiera house had been used
for a court room during the day and
the jury bad entered the ope ra house dur
ing the performance to be instructed on
some points on which they couldn’t agree.
Judge Martin t >ck his seat on tbe stage In
the midst of tbe burned cork artists and re
charged the jury, after which they died
back into the jury room. The court aud
tbe lawyers remained in the bouse and the
nerformance was Immediately resumed.
Tbe defendant, on whose life the jury was
to pass, was kept In the court room to await
the verdict, and apparently enjoyed the
show, as did the court and counsel.

bis official title was vice president of tbe
colony of Georgia. Back of the vice presi
dent and oouncil were tbe trustees—thou
parliament—and his royal highness. 80,
as might be imagined, tho assembly was
vory limited in iu powsrs. It onlv
“suggested" to tbe governor and council,
on behalf of the peoole. It v, as a sort of
grand jury, Investigating the needs of the
people and making reports and recommen
dations. But this assembly might properly
be called the first legislature In Georgia. It
was the first popular representation given

Sorts that the steamer passed a dead whale
eating when about sixty miles off Capo
Bau Bias. Sharks and sea birds were
around it great number, feasting on the

the northern seas and brought down by the
gulf stream.

Gainesville Sun: Few people have any
thing like an adequate conception of tuo
amount of business transacted by the vari
ous railroads centering to this city. It is es
timated that up to date about 800,000 boxes
of oranges have passed through this city
over the Savannah, Florida and Western
railway, or 250,000 more boxes than at tbe
same dace last year. How many boxes have
been forwarded over tne Florida,Central and
Peninsular road we do not know, but tbe
number is great. The number of packages
of vegetables transported by these two
railroads is simply enormous.
Tampa Tribune: Avery disgraceful

the wood yard. In a few moments an
alarm was given by her faithful dog. The
thief tried his persuasive powers to keep
the dog quiet, even calling the animal by
name. Suddenly a shot resounded upon
the night air, and there was a hurried
scramble of someone to get out of reaob.
The fence was pretty well peppered with
shot, but the would-be thief probably es
caped unharmed.
About 3 o’clock Tuesday morning fire
broke out in the 2-story wooden building,

oocupied by R. D. Smith & Cos. as a grocery
store. All the fire companies were promptly
on tbe spot, the flames being extinguished
in less than fifteen minutes after their
arrival, but not until tho interior of the
building and nearly all the stock in
it were burned. Tho loss on tho stock is
estimated at $450, covered by an Insurance
