HEK REMAINS RECOVERED.
The Body of Mrs. lye Found After an
All Night Search.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 18.—The body of
Mrs. Drew Tye, who was drowned while
attempting to cross a swollen creek in the
western suburbs of the city in her buggy
late yesterday afternoon, was recovered
about 7 o'clock this morning, after an all
night search. The body had been washed
two miles down the stream, and was cov
ered almost over with sand and debris.
The buggy in which she was driving,
when she met her death, was found near
the same place.
Reports of considerable damage from
last night's heavy rains have come in to
day. The rainfall from 5 until 12 o'clock
was 4.70 inches, the heaviest on record
for that length of time m this section.
Thedamage done is mostly in the nature
of washouts. All the railroads entering
the city had washouts of a more or less
troublesome extent, one of the Cen
tral's tracks near East Point being ren
dered useless until this afternoon. The
street railways have also had their track
gangs out in force to-day repairing dam
ages A trestle on the Consolidated com
pany's line, near Edgewood, was entirely
swept away.
A main sewer on Baker street was
bursted and heavy damage done to the
old waterworas station, the filtering
bouse being partly swept away and the
engine house considerably damaged by
the big dam overflowing. At one
time it was feared that the dam
would break. Had it given away
there would have been a good many lives
lost by the flood in the valley below.
Two negroes working on a dairy farm
Bear Decatur are reported to have been
drowned in a creek while attempting to
cross in a wagon.
It is estimated that the streets of the
city suffered to the extent of 81,000 by the
storm
Besides thedamage to tracks the power
house of the traction company was
flooded, and to-day that line is tied up.
One side of the building, which is a frame
structure, was washed out.
GOOLSBY STILL GOING.
Tba Black Fiend Still Being Sneaked
from Point to Point.
Tifton, Ga., Sept. 18.—-Dave Goolsby,
the rapist, who assaulted and murdered
little Susan Butler near Thomasville last
Saturday, was brought to this place last
night from Albany. He was kept secreted
until this morning when he was taken
toward Valdosta on the Georgia Southern
and Florida railroad.
VALDOSTA EXCITED.
Valdosta, Ga., Sept. 18.—Dave Goolsby,
the black fiend who shocked all this sec
tion by a murder in Thomas county which
stands out as the most brutal ever com
mitted in this section, was brought here
this morning and is now confined in the
county Jail. He was seen to-day by a
number of people, including the mayor
and chief of police, and to all be made a
bold acknowledgement of the terrible
crime. The shock which first came to the
people here has been intensified by the full
reports of the crime, and now that the
fiend has been brought to this city for
keeping, the excitement is almost as if
the crime had been committed here. It
has really been the topic of conversation
here to-day and to-night, and the feeling
of revenge seems to increase.
WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.
General Complaint Heard as to 801 l
Worm Savages.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 18.—The weekly
crop bulletin of the weather bureau, is
sued to-day, reports general complaint of
ravages of the boll worm. In some locali
ties great damage has been done by this
pest, although general crop conditions for
the past week have been more favorable
than previous periods.
Com and sugar cane will be the lar
gest crops had in years. The reports
from the southern counties of the state
are all encouraging; boll worms being the
only hindrance. The western counties
suffered from heavy rains, and some dam
age was done to open cotton, while
reports from Central Georgia
show a marked deterioration in
crops on account of unfavorable
weather. 801 l worms are also very
bad in this section, the present estimate
of the cotton crop being very much below
what was expected a month ago. Highly
satisfactory conditions of cotton and
other crops are reported from the east
ern, southern and southwestern counties.
CottoD crop is, however, short.
RAIN HURTING COTTON.
Tifton to Have Telephone Communi
cation With a Number of Towns.
Tifton. Ga., Sept. 18.—The fall term of
the Tifton school opened yesterday.
Prof. C. J. Williams is the principal and
Miss Martha Williams is assistant. About
seventy pupils are in attendance.
Owing to continued rains there is much
complaint among farmers of cotton rot
ting in the fields.
It is highly probable that Tifton will
have telephonic communication with Ir
winville, Sycamore, Cyclonetta and
Chulio in the near future. A line from
Sycamore to Irwinville is now in opera
tion and a movement is on foot to run a
line from Tifton, connecting with the
Sycamore and Irwinville line at the resi
dence of T. B. Young, seven miles north
of Tifton, and from there to Chulio, thence
by the Georgia Southern and Florida
railroad to Sycamore. This will greatly
benefit Tifton and will open communica
tion with a large territory.
Anew daily postal route from Tifton to
Moultrie is also being agitated.

WATSON AT ALBANY.
Albany, Ga., Stpt. 18.—Thomas E.
Watson spoke here to-day to an audience
of 500 people, the majority of whom were
his adherents, white and colored. He
spoke for two hours and three-quarters,
the main portion of his speech being di
rected to those planks in the populist
platform relating to free school books and
convict lease system abolition, which
tickled his negro hearers wonderfully.
The tenor of his entire speech indicated
clever playing for the colored vote.
DEMOCRACY OF DARIEN.
Darien, Ga., Sept. 18.—Messrs. Gar
rard, Lester and Morgan addressed a
democratic meeting here to-day. Col. Gar
rard’s speech was much admired, espec
ially on account of his sound and lucid
financial views. Mr. Morgan scored the
independents and populists mercilessly,
and Congressman Lester, in his usual hap
py manner, talked straight democracy.
Their speaking certainly brought many
straying shtep back into the democratic
fold.
OVER ONE HfNDRKD CARCASSES.
Louisville, Ga., Sept. 18.—Over 3,000
people met at the fair grounds here to
day to listen to Hon. W. Y. Atkinson,
MaJ. J. C. C. Black and the inimitable
Ham. This was the biggest barbecue
ever seen in Jefferson county before, as
over 125 carcasses were killed, so there
was enough for ail, notwithstanding the
jeers of the discontented third partyites.
Mr. Atkinson spoke over two hours and
made a splendid speech. He said Mr.
Hines refused to meet him in joint debate.
He was sorry Hines declined, for if he did
come once ho would show him and his
record up in such a light that nothing
could drag him to attend another
meeting. Atkinson was enthusiastically
cheered as our next governor. Maj.
Black took the stand at 12:15 o’clock
and said be came to give an account of
his stewardship, which he did so well
that be was cheered to the echo, and we
of the Tenth determined to send him
back, notwithstanding the vain boasts of
Watson, who says he is going to see that
Maj. Black is left at home this time.
Next came the Hon. H. W. J. Ham,
who kept the crowd in roars of laughter.
He addressed himself to the negroes,
and showed them very plainly that
their best friends were the democrats,
and that the third party, notwithstand
ing all their promises, would never be
able to do anything for them. There were
several small showers of rain during the
speaking, but the crowd held their ground
manfully. It was big, good natcred aud
enthusiastic, and many who had been led
astray by third party promises saw the
errors of their way and determined to
come back.
Maj. Black and Col. Ham took the
evening train for Wadley, where they
speak to-night, and they speak at Millen
to-morrow.
A BARBECUE AT WAYOROSS.
A Big Time Expected There Next
Saturday.
Waycross, Ga., Sept. 18.—Among the
speakers next Saturday the following are
expected: Secretary Hoke Smith, Senator
John B. Gordon, Hon. Fleming G. dußig
non, and probably Hon. Henry G. Turner.
Preparations are being made for a big
barbecue.
Prof. Floyd Snelson, principal of the
colored high school, is doing some effec
tive work in opposition to the populists,
who are trying to induce the colored peo
ple to support their party. He is making
speeches to the blacks in different parts
of this section, and advises tbem to make
no promises to the populists. He is of
the opinion that the colored republicans
should support the Democratic party this
year. He is urging bis friends and ac
quaintances to make no mistake, and he
is meeting with much encouragement.
The populists in this county are very
weak, and they are a desperate lot of fel
lows. They are bent on putting in the
fleid a full ticket for county omees, and
yet they have not a ghost of a chance to
elect a single man. Their only hope lies
in dividing the colored vote, and in this
consummation their chances would not be
more than a handful of supporters. But
there is scarcely a probability of their
persuading the colored people to vote with
them.
NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH.
A Lady Takes Fowler’s Solution of
Arsenic by Mistake.
Albany. Ga., Sept. 18.—Mrs. Twitty, a
highly respected lady of this city, made a
narrow escape from death .yesterday,
which was only prevented by the pres
ence of a physican in the house at the
time. Mrs. Twitty intended to take a
powder of some kind in whisky, but by
mistake dissolved the powder in a table
spoonful of Fowler's solution of arsenic,
but discovered her mistake immediately,
which,, in connection with Dr. W. L. Da
vis’ instant attention, prevented the case
from fatal results.

THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1894.
SPEED OF THE STEEDS.
Track Fetlock Deep in Mud at Qravez
pnd-A Slim Attendance.
Racetrack. Gravesend, Sept. 18.—The
races here to-day were run over a track
fetlock deep in mud. The weather was
1 decidedly unpleasant, and as there were
no special features, the attendance was
slim. The principal event on the card,
which had been cut to ribbons, was the
! race for the Neptune stakes, but this
, proved to be a mere procession, as
Nankipooh ran as be pleased and won
without a semblance of an effort from
Tinge by a length and a half. The open
ing event was for maiden 3-year-olds, and
McCafterty sprung a surprise on the
talent, who had made Dongannon a favor
ite. Hartford, McCafferty’s recent pur
chase from W. C. Daly, took the lead
after going about a quarter and won gal
loping at the juicy odds of sto 1. The
favorite finished second. Owlet, whose
odds opened at 15 to 1 and closed
at 10 to 1, upset all calculations
by making a runaway race of the
third event. She took the lead
when the flag fell, and Urania, who was
a heavily backed favorite, was never able
to get within striking distance of her.
She passed under the wire fighting for
her bead with a lead of two lengths An
other long-shot winner to-day was Long
bridge. who, at odds of 8 to 1, defeated
Galloping King, after a hot driving finish,
by a head. The latter, who was second
choice in the betting, is considered a
"good horae," swerved under puuishment,
otherwise he would undoubtedly have
captured the race. Summaries were as
follows:
First Face—Six furlongs. Hartford, 100,
Kelt!, 5 to 1. won. with Dungannon second and
Wedding Tour third. Time 1 15)4.
Second Face—One and one-fourth miles.
DuWh skater. 102, Griffin. 9 to 10, won, with
Victorious second. Only two starters. Time
2 now.
Third Race—Five furlongs. Owlet. 112.
Senn, 10 to 1, won, with Urania second and
olden Rod third Time 1:02X.
Fourth Race—The Neptune stakes, six
furlongs. Nankipooh. 98, Griffin. 7to 10. won.
with Tinge second and Kennel third- Time
1:15*4.
Fifth Race—One mile. Sir Excess. 119.
Simms, 7 to 10, won with Llltle Matt second
and Gov. Sheehan third. Time 1:44.
Sixth Race—One and one-sixteenth miles
Longbrook, 111. Bergen. 6 to 1. won. with Gal
loping King second and Judge Morrow third.
Time 1:51.
A Rally at Thomasville.
Thomasville, Ga., Sept. 18.—A demo
cratic rally at Thomasville, Friday, will
be addressed by Senator Gordon,

at night. It will carry a large crowd
from Waycross.
Dry Gdtds.
New York, Sept. 18.—It has been a
mere quiet day in commercial circles than
since the middle of July, as there was no
mail orders from important interior and
more distant markets which, with the
gloomy weather, was a hindrance to busi
ness. There was more doing in Jobbing
circles, as a very good number of new
buyers were present. Printing cloths
were quiet but firm at 3c bid for sixty
four squares.

Hon. H. W. J. Ham, Hon. R. E. Lester,

PUSSY SAVED THE CHILD.
A Vicious Pariah Oat, But It Killed
the Snake Just in Tims.
From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
A bouse cat saved a child from being
bittell by a poisonous snake yesterday
morning. With a Jump of over six feet
pussy leaped upon the reptile and with
one snap bit the snake almost in two.
But the snake was not killed by the bite,
and a terrific battle between the reptile
and the cat followed, which was only
ended by the arrival of a woman, who
cut the snake's head off with a garden hoe.
The fight occurred in the garden of
Antone Dienes, who lives at Twenty
ninth and Market streets. Mr. Dienes is
the night foreman at the brewery of Senn
& Ackerman, at Seventeenth and Main
streets. He is an honest, truthful, hard
working German. He is married and has
a little daughter, Lizzie, who is five years
old. Some time ago. a stray cat, about a
year old, wandered into Mr. Dienes’
house. Every effort was made to drive
the cat away, but without success. It
was a very vicious cat, and several times
when Mr. Dienes tried to throw the cat
from the yard it scratched him. The cat
was finally allowed to stav at the house.
The gray animal seemed to take a fancy
for Mr. Dienes’ little daughter Lizzie, and
it followed her wherever she went. It
was always affectionate to this child, but
whenever anyone else tried to handle the
cat they were scratched.
About 11 o’clock yesterday morning the
little girl started back into the garden to
play among the flowers. The cat followed
closely to her heels, and wheu the child
sat down to play in the loose earth about
a bed of flowers the cat lay down about
six feet distant under a bush. The child
played about for several minutes, and
when she happened to look around she
found a snake nearly three feet long
coiled up right behind her and ready to
strike. For several seconds the child
could not utter a word. Then she gave a
piercing scream, which brought her
mother from the house, fifty feet away,
and Mrs. Leu Fenster, a next-door neigh
bor.
When Lizzie screamed the cat Jumped
the six feet as easily as a boy steps over
a muddy gutter, and with considerably
more grace. The cat struck the ground
right at ike side of the snake and fast
ened its teeth in the snake’s body at
about the middle, while the child rolled,
screaming with frignt, to one side. The
first bite of the cat almost severed the
snako's tail from its head, but his
snakeship was not dead yet by any
means, and he struck out viciously at
the nimble cat. Pussy would bite and
jump back, with the snake striking at
her all the while. Both Mrs. Fenster
and the mother of the child saw the
tight, but they had nothing with which
to kill the snake, and Mrs. Fenster ran
back to her house after a garden boe.
But the cat and snake kept up their
tight. The cat would Jump around until
the snake’s head would dart out at it.
Then pussy would jump in and bite and
jump out of harm's way before the
snake could strike again. His snake
ship was rapidly getting the worst of
the fight when Airs. Fenster came back
with the hoe. She immediately chopped
the reptile’s head off. and that was an
end of him.
An examination of the snake showed
that it had been bitten at least twenty
times. The first bite of the cat had been
the most effective, as the snake's body
bung together only by shreds. The cat
was not hurt and was looking well, ex
cept where the hair was ruffled up. The
ground about the scene of the battle was
clawed and bloody. Mr. Dienes described
the snake as short and thick, with a
brown back and a wide head. From bis
description the reptile was probably a
viper Mr. Dienes says that he would
uot part with the cat now for anything.
It will driuk the best cream which his
cows give.
A HYDROPHOBIC WONDER.
Sympathetic Excitement Makes an
Indianapolis Youth a Victim of
Rabies
From the Philadelphia Press
Indianapolis, Ind.. Sept. 16.—Chalk
Meikel, aged 19, a feeble-minded youth, is
lying at his home in this city to-night
under the influence of opiates of unusal
strength to overcome the spasms ana vio
lence of hydroDhobia He has never been
bitten by a rabid dog or other animal, and
what makes tbe case remarkable in the
annals of medical science is that his
trouble is supposed to come from sympa
thetic excitement on account of his
younger brother, who was one of the nine
persons bitten by a supposedly rabid dog
about five weeks agi The brother has
not suffered from the effects of his wounds,
which were severe.
Chalk went to Joliet. 111., recently to
visit bis uncle, and while there stumbled
and fell, making a large bruise over the
heart. Convulsions followed, with all the
symptoms of rabies, and he was brought
home after the first attack, seemingly
well again. But since then tbe convul
sions have reappeared in the most dis
tressing form, and it has required the
combined strength of several men to
bold him in bed and prevent his doing
violence until the opiates could take ef
fect.
The medical fraternity say the case is
one of extraordinary interest. It is be
lieved that the boy’s feeble condition of
mind has brought upon him an imaginary
case of rabies, due to fears of what might
overtake bis brother. The disease is of
hysterical nature and is known as “hy
drophobia.”
