of $14,000. This company had large int- rests
there, and became involved while preparin'

work was done on their various mines with one
exception, the singleton property, which Capt.
Jonn W.Weaver, 110 receiver, has worked and
made pay handsomely .-ver since be took charge

veloped and will pay handsome profits.
F. M. Morton, a newsboy running out of
Columbus, is a very ingenious boy and shows
great mechanical talent. A reporter was shown
a little stationary engine, with attachment for
boiler, which the boy had made and wnich was
used for running his mother's sewing machine.
The big wheel is about six inches in diameter
and was molded in the sand by Morton. Tne
cylinder rods are old umbrella rods filed down,
and admirably suit the purpose for which they
w re made. Several engineers and machinists
have examined tne miniature engine and th -y
pronounce It a splendid piece of workmanship.
The boy evidently is born for a machinist, and
Mr. Gordon is going to secure him a position at
the Central's shops, where he can learn the
trade.
Toccoa Keirt: Two northern capitalists have
b- en looking around at Tallulah Falls for some
time, with an eye to business, and have signi
fied their intention of putting into execution
an immense scheme. It is their intention, so
they say, to build a mighty dam across the
Tallulah nver a mile above the falls, wnich will
cause Ibo water to back for miles. With this
great water power they propose to orstraie a
powerful electric plant, winch can supply to
every place in this section of the state, at
moderate cost, electric motive power
They will run aiso bv water power
several manufactories that will turn out spokes
felloes, wagons, furniture and perhaps other
things. The timber nee let at these lactorles
can be obtained on Tallulah river an i float 'd
down to the pond. Receiver Lauralue will, i; js
said, aid the capitalists as much as possible

Augusta Kven.no A ewt: Work on the White
bulldicg/fias been stooped, and the deiuy may
not give Augustu its new 7-story, 3 acre build
ing for some time. Tne contract was given to
Jesse Thompson <£ Cos., and the brick work sub
let to T. O. Brown. Mr. Brown has been clear
ing away the brick for some days. When the
■written contract was presented by Architect L
F Goodrich to Mr. Thompson he declined to
sign it, saying it was not an equitable contract,
putting all the responsibility on the
k contractor. The contract makes the
contractor responsible for possible in-
I jury to adjoining buildings, and also respon.
I sible for delays caused by weather, iabor
1 troubles, etc., and fixes a penalty of $l5O a day
if the building is not ready by Augut. Mr.
Goodrich says the contra-t is the usual stylo iu
such buildings, and is the same signed for the
court house, orphan asylum and other big
| buildings. He says the time is the close eie
-1 mem in it, and that it is possible to finish it by
August. He thinks that the contractor, and
not Mr. White, should be responsible for delay.

hanged at Center. Ala., near tbe Georgia line,
made tne most remarkable sale of his body ever

ago he offered his body for sale to the doctors
of Center. He told them he would sell his body

pound. He did not want any guess work, be
wanted the highest price tbe market would af
ford and he wanted full pay for every pound.
Several doctors made bids. One bid cents per
pound spot cash. Another raised the Did
to 754 cents. It then went to
744 cents Dr. Will Darneli raised the
bid to 8 cents per pound, and the trade was

weighed. He tipped the beam at 158 pounds.
Dr. Darnell then figured up the amount, and
paid over to Arp sl4 48 in cash, and Arp gave
the doctor an order for his body. Arp then
proceeded t ■ blow the money for good things
to eat and drink, and while it lasted he had a
rousing big time. He was hanged for the mur
der of old man Hogue, an old and decrepit
farmer near Centre raoro than a year ago. He

night about 8 o'clock a blaze was seen emerging

made suen progress that all hope of saving the
building was abandoned. The furniture from
the mam building was excitedly thrown from
every door and window The nearest adjoin
ing buiidlng, about 100 feet distant, was tne
orange packing house of Springstea l A lloxie,

THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, MARCH 12, 1893—SIXTEEN PAGES.
1 confession made by Clinton at De I And. Clin
ton, it seems, had long been suspected. Acting
on tne inference that tnese suspicions were well
grounded. Mr. C iwart. one of the members of
tne grand jurr, pumped lintcu dry. He Raid
that the mate was not after him ill in ton and
would probably treat him leniently With a
hope of being freed, so rumor savg, Clinton told
tb-story and subsequently repeated it with all
the horrible bloody details to the grand jury.
Jenkins and Mcßae were promptly jaLeu and
later on Clinton also. The latter is confined iu
a cell on the top floor and the two
former in separate cells below with
communication absolutely prohibited. All
three have long been under suspicion.
The evidence was purely of a circumstantial
character. It was known that Mcßae, Clinton
and Jenkins were together on tbe night of the
crime. Mcßae had been an old admirer of MBs
Bruce, and it is believed that jealousy prompted
the crime, and strong drink clinched the incli
nation to the sticking point. Although the dis
triot around New Smyrna Is "dry' there was
plenty of orange wine manufactured In the
groves They started together in the nignt and
arrived early In the morning. The shooting was
done, so It is said, by Moliae with a pistol bor
rowed from Odnton. who In turn bad borrowed
it from a friend. Jenkins cut tne throats
This pistol lias been an important factor In
linking the evidence In a chain. It was the
only 34-caliber revolver in tbe entire neighbor
hood. Through the efforts of Capt. Ditnick it
was traced back Into the possession of Clinton.
The next suspicious circumstance •■<. tne
significant remarg of Jenkins while in tbe
jail |at Smyrna—"lf they don’t get me out
they'll regret it” Next, wnen Jenkins was
jailed in Jacksonville for selling whisky to rail
road hands, Mcßae sent a lawyer to Jackson
ville to defeD 1 him. Then as to the dog. There
were footi-rlnts of this dog In the blood on the
floor. Mcßae nad a dog hut It mysteriously dis
appeared. "Wnat beoarae of that dog?’’ was a
question aaked frequently by the east coast {>eo.
pie. Among all these people there area few
whodo not believe that the authorities have got
the right man yet. Clinton's father and other
relatives were in Defend F'riday in high rage at
tne injustice of a 'Pogue" confession. The most
sorrowful figure of all Is the aged father of Mo-
Rae. Dr. Moßae of Sanford, whose head is white
as snow and bowed down with grief. It was
only three weeks ago that his wife died. He is a
stanch believer iu the innocence of his son
On motion of< the state's attorney, Judge
Broome bas postponed the trial until Septem
ber In an interview at Smyrna Capt. Ditnick,
who assisted In organizing the coroner's jury,
said that when the doors of the Packwood house
were closed a large crowd clamored for admit
tance. The crowd was let In, among them was
Mcßae. He didn't look at the bodies, but gazed
at the celling, keeping his eves everywhere but
on the ghastly spectacle Then the next day
Mcßae and Cliuton were among the men who
scoured the woods for the murderers The four
people who were murdered tn December of
I*9l were Miss Bruoe, Bsnnie Packwood. Mrs.
Hatch and her little boy. All were shot and
their throats cut, except Mrs. Hatoh, who was
shot.

ning to believe that settlement of British strike
may be near at hand. At any rate, private dis-
Siatohes from Liverpool received confirms yes
terday's statements to that effect. They again
stated, forjlnstauca, that the strike was prac
tically settled and that it would end next Tues
day. Liverpool was slightly higher
in spite of the rather bearish report of stocks
at interior towns were not regularly given, and
thus, many people think, that there might be
something iu tue assertions that the Euglish
labor trouble is about over. Still there is a
disposition to go slow until tho strike is
ended beyond jioradveuture. Prices rose 2to S
points, closing steady, with sales at 63,000 bales,

Chicago, March 11.—If there was any doubt
about wheat being manipulated in the Chicago
market it was dissipated to-day. The news
was all bearish, but instead of a break of 2c or
3o and a panicky market, there was a bound of
l%c which put the May price at 78c soon after
tne opening. This upset all calculation!.
The impetus proved stronger than the
government report, stronger than tne shorts
and more powerful for the moment than all the
bearish influences. There was heavy rallying
at the advance, under which prices yielded to
about yesterday’s close, but again recovered.
The close showed a gain of >4O over y®terdav’s
closing figures for May and an advance of %c
in July. Oats were unchanged. Corn and pro

on the day before.

THE GRBATWHITHS HORSE.
Duplicate of Mr. Pic'vwick’s Famous
Inn to be Been at the Fair.
From the Chicauo Tribune.
The Great White Horse inn, a duplicate
teriorly of the English hostelry mode 10
famous by Charles Dickens in “Pickwick
Papers,” has an excellent location on the
world’s fair grounds, and In many respects
will doubtless be one of the most interesting
of the many attractions. The building a
almost completed. It occupies a pretty lit*
south of Machinery hall and not faf
from the southeast corner of the
park. Asa large majority of
the American people are descendants
of British subjects, the chief object of the
originators of this novel restaurant to
have something typical of the old English
tavern, end as the Great Whits Horse inn
is best known the world over, it was se
lected as the most appropriate. But in order
to accommodate and feed a large number of
people it was impossible to reproduce every
feature of the anotent structure. Conse
quently the interior arrangements are al
most entirely modern in style.
Over the main entrance is to be placed
the statue of a white horse oast from a
model made by Leopold Bonet, the French
artist. However, some of the interior
features slightly modified and improved,
will be retaiued. For instance, the original
building had an open oourt in the center,
into which stage coaches were driven to
unload and receive passengers. That feat
ure appears in the duplicate, but tbs
ground floor, paved with brick, will “
utilized as a grill and smoking room tot
gentlemen. At the second story this open
space will be surrounded by a bal
cony ten feet wide, with the rooi
extending down over it, supported by
pillars and having an ornamental railmj
of old rustic work running ftr ° u „
the four sides. Tho balcony will b “
pleasant pluce for visiters who like to sip
cup of ooffee while enjoying a
Everything about the establishment will
as thoroughly English as the managemen
can possibly make it. On the first fi° or * ,
be a general restaurant for the b° no *" “
the public, where one can get a get
thing from aiitm sandwich to a $2 portej*
house steak. On the second floor the m •
ngementß proposes to cater only to
finest trade, and that part will bo c°nd
teJ, while not exclusively, so very '“'j- *
afther the style of the best clubs In L°n<* •
The cooking will be strictly English,
intention being to serve the same outs
meat, the same kinds of roast beef, the
joints, plum pudding, imported plc*
ales, wines, and beers that bilth-U *
Britishers are used to having at home,
far as possible, and to be in harmony
the general air and tone cf the place,
style furniture will be used in furm* ■
tho parlors, reception and dining rt ™
An attractive feature 0/ the reception r ■
will be an old-fashioned English * ■
with side seats, containing large P* n " •
which will be hand-painted represents
