RUNAWAY HUBBY ON THE RUN.
WRONGED WIFE ATTACKS HIM IN
A BARBER SHOP.
Let Drive at Him With Her Stronu
Right Arm, But He Dodged and
She Smashed n. Large Pane ot
Glass—By •Standera Prevented Her
From Following I'p the Assault.
Taken to the Police Station, Hut
Released on Bail.
Atlanta, Ga„ Deo. 28.—Mrs. Jack Mur
phy, a well-dressed and good-looking wo
man, created a sensation in a barber shop
on Whitehall street to-night by attacking
her husband and smashing a large pane ot
glass in her mad assault.
At the instance of the proprietor of the
place Mrs. Murphy was placed under ar
rest and sent to the station house. She
was kept there several hours, but was fin
ally released on bond.
Behind the assault there is a story of
desertion and revenge, which might have
ended fatally. Murphy and hts wife lived
in Nashville up to six months ago, when
he deserted his wife and little girl and
came to Atlanta with another woman,
she claims, several months ago.
Mrs. Murphy and the little girl followed. |
She was bent on hunting her guilty hus
band down and revenging herself upon
him for his desertion,- she said. After her
arrival here she secured a position as
housekeeper at the Cooledge house, a pri
vate hotel on Houston street, where she
lias since been at work, the child having
been placed in the Home for the Friend
less. Mrs. Murphy found her erring hus
band employed in the barber shop of Ter
ry on Whitehall street. She made every
effort to locate the woman who had stolen
her husband’s affections from her, but so
far as known she was not successful” In
this, though she was confident that Mur
phy was living with her somewhere in the
city. She first tried to get her husband
to return to her for the sake
of their little girl, but
weeks of persuasion failed to bring this
about. Enraged and desperate at Mur
phy's persistent desertion, the woman
went to Terry's shop to-night. After a
lew words with her husband, she was
heard to exclaim: "I will blow your
brains out. then.” Immediately Murphy
dodged and turned to go to the rear of
the shop. As he did so. the woman struck
at him with her clenched fist. The blow
missed the mark, but struck a large plate
glass window, which was smashed to
pieces. The glass cut the woman's hand
terribly, but this did not assuage her tem
per, and she would have followed up the
assault but for the Interference of others,
Murphy having taken flight. The affair
created a sensation on the street, wh.ch
was crowded at the time. To-morrow Mrs.
Murphy wnl appear in police court.
VANDALISM AT PEARSON.
The Community Disturbed by Acts
That Deserve Severe Punialirant.
Waycross, Ga., Dec. 28.—A carnival of
vandalism that has disturbed the peace
and wrought ruin to considerable proper
ty at Pearson In Coffee county, was re
ported by Editor John W. Greer, who ar
rived here to-day, after spending the holi
days with his father, Mayor N. C. Greer
at Pearson.
This condition of things began last spring
when something of a riot'was attempted
at Pearson, and every now and then since
that time, the best citizens of Pearson
have been sorely tried by the frequency
of these occurrences. Mr. Greer says that
some of the best citizens of Pearson have
moved away recently through fear of a
repetition of the acts of van
dalism by a certain' lawless
set of people, who have been se
cretly doing innumerable acts of violence.
To show the exteqt of these depredations,
Mr. Greer mentioned the following instan
ces: On Christmas eve night persons went
to the buggy shelter of Mayor N. C. Greer,
and cut into a hundred pieces six sets of
harness and four buggies, also a buggy
and set of harness belonging to John Tl
boii. Since last spring persons have burn
ed ihe guard house, poisoned one of Mr
Greer s finest horses, burned Dr. Julian's
residence and store, poisoned his horse and
dog. shot and killed a number of negroes
on the place. Mr. Greer says that the
best citizens of Pearson suspect several
persons of being gufity of these crimes.

Gladness Comes
\X/itha better understanding of the
ical ills, which vanish before proper ef
forts—gentle efforts—pleasant efforts—
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease. but simply to a constipated condi
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative. Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why itistbeoDly
remedy with inillionsof families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the faet, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
sill important, in order to get its bene
ficial effects, to note when you pur
chase. that you have the genuine arti
cle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Cos. only and sold by
•11 reputable druggists. •
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
oue ihould have the best, and with the

THE HAHIKA HI GTE IIS.
They Were Fined 1820 Each nnd Will
Have to Imuer Other Chargee.
Valdosta, Ga., Dec. 28.—Dr. J. R. Fol
som, father of Montgomery Folsom, the
well-known newspaper man, died at his
home at Cecil last night and was buried
this evening with Masonic honors. He
was postmaster at Cecil, and was one of
the earlv settlers of this section, being
well known in all of the counties around
here.
The Hahlra rioters were before the city
court here this morning on the charge of
rioting. Most of them plead guilty and
were released on the small fine of S2O and
cost each. The charge of carrying con
cealed weapons still stands open against
most of them, and the town authorities
at Hahira have charges also that will
have to be satisfied before the negroes are
liberated.
An accident at the Valdosta foundry
cost a lad three fingers, if not his whole
hand. The lad's hand was caught in
some of the machinery.
The bank deposits, from trade during
Christmas, show that Valdosta's business
for the Christmas season was 25 per cent,
more than ever known before in this city.
It Is estimated that for the four days be
fore Christmas over $150,000 worth of
goods were sold by the merchants here.
Next week the corporations here will
turn loose their dividends, amounting to
about $30,000.
There was not an accident of any sort
reported here during Christmas as the
result of Christmas frolics, and there was
very little drunkenness on the streets
here. Very few arrests were made by the
police. In spite of the fact that the time
was celebrated more generally than ever
known before.

A bale of cotton was sold here to-day by
John Mills, Jr., of Chattanooga county
which was raised by his father in the fall
of 1872. It brought 5 4-5 cents and weighed
473 pounds. During the winter of 1872 old
Mr. Mills was offered 22 cents for it, but
would not sell because he thought the
price too low. He continued to hold it,
waiting for a rise in prices. Last January

stin clean and white and the staple as
sound as new cotton.

FIGHT ON OVER FERTILIZERS.
THE RAILROADS GRANTED A RE
HEARING BY THE COMMISSION.
The Ronds Claim They Can Not Httnl
Fertillxers at the Price* Ordered
!>>- Ilic Commission—The Hearing
to Open To-dcy and Prominent
It ail mini Men Already on the
Ground.
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 28.—The fertilizer
rate ease is to be reopened. Representa
tives of (.he railroads will appear before
the railroad commission to-morrow to ar
gue against the reduction of fertilizer
rates, which was ordered two weeks ago.
Prominent railroad officials were In the
city to-day in concultation about the
course of action they will take to-morrow
before the commission. The Southern was
represented by W. W. Finley, second vice
president; J. M. Culp, traffic manager,
and Col. W. S. Henderson, general coun
sel.
The Central was represented by Col. A.
R. Lawton, general counsel: J. M. Eagan,
vice president; W. F. Shellman, traffic
manager, and W. A. Winburn, general
freight agent.
The Macon and Birmingham was also
represented.
The Georgia railroad commission recent,
ly reduced rates on fertilizers 20 per cent.
Since that reduction the roads have been
complaining bitterly, and have at last se
cured another hearing. The officials
think they can convince the commission
ers that the fertilizers cannot be hauled
at the reduced rates.
The reduction was made upon the appli
cation of Capt. D. G. Purse of the Savan
nah freight bureau. He was joined in his
petition by almost all the fertilizer facto
ries in the state. It was claimed that the
rates from Charleston were such as to
make it impossible for the Georgia facto
ries to compete with those of South Caro
lina. A reduction of 25 per cent, was ask
ed, to enable the factories of this state to
enter the markets under the same advant
ages as their foreign competitors. It was
claimed that fertilizers had been going
down in price for some time and that the
cost of transportation had not in the least
declined.
Murphy Candler, secretary and treas
urer of the Southern Fertilizer Company,
stated to the commission that the railroads
had, of their own accord, reduced the
rates on fertilizers from Charleston from
10 to 30 per cent. He claimed if they could
do business profitably from Charleston at
those rates the railroads ought not to ob
ject to a reduction in this state.
At the time of the hearing the commis
sioners decided to make the reduction, but
have now consented to reopen the case.
Both sides will be represented at the meet
ing to-morrow morning.

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT^
When a good citizen dies, the state loses
just so much capital, for a good citizen
is a positive strength. When a good man
dies the community In which he lives loses
a good exemplar, an ornament, and the
community is that much poorer. But
when a good, kind and Indulgent hus
band and father dies, there is a chair
made vacant that time can never fill. The
bright light of the house is gone out, the
strong arm of protection is removed, and
the loving voice of husband and father is
silent forever. Capt. Neill had those ele
ments and qualities of mind and heart
which made him a friend indeed, when a
friend. To know him was first to esteem,
and then admire. Frank, candid, open
hearted and open-handed, he was ever
ready to help and aid. He was in the
true sense of the word a religious man,
which means one who was at all times
ready to do good where he knew and was
wanted and needed. There was no sham
In his nature. Nothing done for effect
or show, but with that innate nature of
generous feeling, his heart beat responsive
to the wants of others. Nature had been
good to him, for he had a mind above
mediocrity, and had that peculiar talent
to order and command. His life was a
success, for he was a good citizen, a good
man, and. above all, a good husband and
father, and his memory will always be
sweet to those who knew him well, and
loved him much, and you can feel—
" The sweet remembrance of the Just
Shall flourish where he sleeps in dust.”
