resulted from the accident is not yet
known at this end of the line. The
night passenger from Millen for Au

THE AUGUSTA RACES.
Second Day—lst Race a Walk Over-
Second Race Exciting and Interest
ing—Mattie O. the Winner—A Fine
Attendance.
Though the weather yesterday was
cloudy and rather cold, there was a
much larger attendance at the Fair
Grounds to witness the second day’s
races, many ladies being in attendance.
Many carriages and other vehicles,
with the street ears, were brought into
requisition to convey visitors to the
grounds, while many persons walked,
the course being of convenient access
to all from Broad street.
The greatest interest was manifested
by all present, besides a large number
of persons who were perched on build
ings and fences outside, but overlook
ing the course. The reduction in the
price of admission and change of hour
served to draw a considerably greater
niwnber of visitors to the grounds than
would have otherwise been present,
which had the effect of making the oc
casion a most interesting one indeed.
The first race proved uninteresting, as
it was a mere walk over for Limestone,
on account of an injury to Granger,
which is noted below, but on the sec
ond race, all the interest was centered,
and it proved to be one of the finest
races which ever took place over this
course.
The following is the report of the
entries, stakes and results :
first race.
Dash of two miles for all ages. First
horse to receive, $250; second horse to
receive, 30; third horse to receive, 20.
Entries—L. A. Hitchcock enters cli.
h. Limestone, 5 years old, by Wanderer,
dam Transylvania. Colors black and
blue, cherry cap. Lewis Jones enters
hr. h. Granger, aged, by imp. Aysgarth,
dam by Charley Ball. Colors blue and
yellow.
This race came to naught by an acci
dent to Granger, Ms right hind foot be
ing injured the night before in his
stable at the Fair Grounds. He was
brought on the track at the appointed
time, when it was announced that, by
consent of the Judges, Granger would
be withdrawn from the race and that
Limestone would walk over to save the
stake. The rider of Limestone then
galloped him over the course twice.
Granger’s owner says the animal
never was in better order than on Tues
day and a close race was anticipated.
He does not expect Granger-will be
well under a month. Granger sold first
in the pool Tuesday night.
second race.
Mile heats for all ages—First Horse
to receive $250, second horse to receive
S3O, third horse to receive S2O.
Entries—L. A. Hitchcock enters b. f.
Mollie Darling, 4 years old, by Revol
ver, dam Skipper. Colors, black, blue
aud cherry cap.
Barton & Wilson enter ch. g. First
Chance, by Baywood, Dam Dot, by
Mad. Anthony. Colors, tan.
W. H. Gordon enters b. c. Goth, by
Vandal, Dam Velvet, by Wagner. Col
ors, blue and gray.
Flud & Cash enter b. m. Mattie 0.,
5 years old, by Ulverston. Colors, red
and white.
Dr. J. W. Weldon & Son enter br. h.
Rutledge, 5 years old, by Vandal, Dam
Little Ella, by Lexington. Colors, ma- 1
roon.
* first heat.
In the first heat, after the start, Rut
ledge took the lead, which he kept un
til within a short distance of the home
stretch, when First Chance challenged
him and won after an exciting strug
gle, the others coming in close up, all
having kept within reaching distance
almost throughout the heat. Time,
1:49^.
At the close of the first heat the
rider of Mattie O. claimed foul riding
on the part of the rider of Mollie Dar
ling, who ran against him on the third
quarter, and caused him to gash his
animal severely with the spur.
„The Judges, upon investigation,
found no case made out, and dismissed
the complaint.
SECOND HEAT.
In the second heat Goth was first
first away, but Rutledge was the first to
show himself from behind Mechanics
Hall, on the second quarter. There
was a rapid changing of positions go
ing down the last stretch, and going
around the lower turn there was a
general gathering, and so they con
tinued to the home stretch, when the
whips were in order, and from there to
the stand they were plied vigorously,
hut Mattie O. proved to be the longest
liver, and won a good heat by a neck.
Time, 1:48%.
This caused an increased sale of
pools, and an effort on the part of losers
to retrieve their losses.
After the second heat the rider of
First Chance complained that the rider
of Goth ran against him on the first
quarter and also on the third quarter
cutting his hock.
The Judge’s after investigation, took
no action.
Under the rule, that after two heats
are run horses that have not won a
heat shall be ruled out, only two horses,
First Chance and Mattie 0., started on
the
THIRD HEAT.
Mattie O. had the inside track in the
start, but First Chance took it away on
the first quarter and endeavored to
lead, but on the second and to the
third quarter they moved along finely,
almost neck and neck, until the third
quarter was reached, when Mattie O.
appeared to take the lead, and coming
around the lower turn, seemed to be
gaining on her competitor, but First
Chance caught up and pushed the mare
close—both coming under the string
near together, with Mattie O. only half
a head in advance, winning the heat
and race. Time—l:so.
Crown Prince’s rider claimed foul
riding on the part of Mattie O’s rider,
but the judges decided Mattie O. to be
the winner.
The race was decidedly the finest
and most interesting witnessed here
since the war, and a considerable
amount of money changed hands on it.
In the selling of pools Tuesday night,
First Chance rated first and Mattie O.
third.
The pool* on this race, sold at the
Fair Grounds, rated as follows after
the first heat:
First Chance 25 25 30

Dropped Dead in the Street.
Yesterday morning about half past
six o’clock Mr. Joseph A. Gurley wa.s
found lying dead on the pavement on
the north side of Greene Street, just
above the corner of Kollock street, by
Mr. George Tankersley, who was pas
sing at the time;. As the body lay on
the sidewalk it appeared that Mr. Gur
ley was walking down the street but a
little while before he fell and expired—
falling on his face. When found he
was lying on his stomach with his left
cheek on the pavement, his right hand
and arm by his side, and the left elbow
bent with the hand near his head. ,
Mr. Tankersley notified Coroner T.
A. Kunze of the finding of the body,
when that officer proceeded to hold an
inquest about 10 o’clock yesterday
morning after empannelling a jury.
Mrs. Peay testified that Mr. Gurley,
who was boarding at her house, on
Marbury, corner of Greene street, com
plained Tuesday evening of feeling un -
well and thought he had symptoms of
pneumonia, and asked for medicine.
He retired to bed, but got up about 4
o’clock yesterday morning, and going
out through Mrs. Peay’s room made
the remark, “My friend, I’ll take your
advice about going to the hospital.”
In reply to Mrs. Peay, who asked him
if he would return and get his money
left there, he said he would return, but
Mrs. Peay did not again see him alive.
By request of the jury Dr. M. J.
Jones examined the body, and testified
that it was evident that deceased came
to his death from some congestive
cause—either apoplexy or heart dis
ease, and not from any foul moans.
The jury returned the following ver
dict :
“We, the jury, find that Joseph A.
Gurley came to hie death either by
apoplexy or heart disease.”
Mr. W. R. Schirmer was foreman of
the jury.
Mr. Gurley was formerly a citizen of
South Carolina, and well known in
Edgefield county, but of late years has
resided in Augusta, where he was en
gaged in business. He leaves a wife
and three children well grown, to
mourn his loss, besides a large number
of friends here and in South Carolina
who will miss him. Many poor per
sons have reason to be thankful to
him for his generous, unostentatious
kindness to them. The funeral will
take place this morning at 10:30 o’clock,
from No. 102 Ellis street.

DeMurska Concert To-Tight.
The famous Hungarian Cantatrice,
M’lle lima DeMurska, now on a tour
of the United States, under the man
agement of Mr. DeVivo, gives a concert
to-night at Girardey’s Opera House,
assisted by M’lle Careno Sauret, pian
ist, Signor Ferranti, buffo singer, and
others.
M’lle DeMurska has high merit as an
artiste, and has achieved brilliant re
sults in Opera and Philharmonic Con
certs. From all we have heard of her
we feel warranted i predicting a rare
entertainment, with the choicest music,
to-night. She ranks with Patti, Nils
son and Lucca, and is therefore one of
the greatest singers in the world.
New Book.
From Messrs. W. T. Richards & Son
we have received anew novel, by Char
lotte Walshingham, entitled “Annette.”
This is a work of much clerverness.
The. dialogue is full of spirit, the plot
skillfully conceived and the catastrophe
worked out artistically.
The typographical execution is per
fect and the binding a miracle of good
taste. Messrs. Claxton, Remsen and
Haffelflnger, the publishers of this
work, have a most capitivating way of
making their books attractive.
Mrs. James Maas.
This lady, with a fine burlesque
opera troupe, opens at Girardey’s Opera
House to-morrow night. They come
heralded with high praise of the per
formances given. Mrs. Maas is de
scribed as a beautiful, sparkling blonde,
with the face and figure of a Hebe.
She everywhere wins the admiration
and applause of her audiences, while
Mr. Maas, one of the best of negro
delineators, excites the the risables of
all who witness him on the stage. The
other members of the troupe are all
fine in their respectPke partis.

The Augusta Volunteer Batallion
will have a batallion drill to-night.

The 80th annual meeting of the Fire
Department will be held Saturday
night.
At the annual prize drill of the Savan
nah German Volunteers, Sergeant
Jacob Fleck bore off the palm.
Yesterday morning the horse of Mr.
J. H. Lowery, attached to a small
wagon, in which he had just come to
his place of business on Campbell street,
about 7, am., ran away and proceed
ing through Ellis and Jackson streets
and was eventually stopped by a color
ed boy at the Bell Tower without hav
ing done any material damage.
The London correspondence of the
New York Times gives some interest
ing information regarding the fees of
great English lawyers. Lord St. Leon
ards made SIOO,OOO per annum ; Lords
Kenyon and Eldon made $60,000;
Lords Westbury, Cairns and Selborne
made $150,000 annually ; Mr. Charles
Austin made $500,000 a year, for a long
time. Sergeant Ballentine has gone to
India to defend a native prince, charged
with poisoning, for which he will re
ceive a fee of $50,000. If, as the Jate
Judge Andrews declared, Georgia law
yers do not average more than SI,OOO
per annum, these figures will, be edify
ing reading for them.
Apropos of the appearance of the
Hungarian Nightingale and her melo
dious troupe, we flud in one of our ex
changes the following good story of
Signor Ferranti. He was singing in
Italian somewhere with Parepa-Rfisa,
and as he came forward to take part
with her in a duet, she remarked a dis
turbed expression on his face. Not
being able to speak to him, she sang to
the music of the opera, “What is the
matter with you, my dear friend ?” He
caught the words at once, and in the
music of his own part, responded, “Oh,
Madame, on my back there is a terrible
hole.” “In the name of Heaven.” war
bled she, in response, “how came it
there ?” The learned audience, mean
while, were in ecstacies over what they
imagined was the height of the com
poser’s musical poetry. “I tore it?,”
answered Ferranti, “on a nail which
stuck out, and nearly rent my garment
in two.” “Oh, you poor fellow, chir
ruped back the lady, “but don’t, I beg
of you, turn around!” “I wish I were
out of it!” and they went on with the
part.
The American Grocer is pouring
broadsides into the gentry who prac
tice a system of short weights in their
manufactured goods. In canned oys
ters it is said that very frequently the
rate is four ounces to the pound. All
canned goods are put up in the same
way, and the public get but about half
the quantity of goods they bargain
and pay for, and take the balance in
water. This affects the people—the
consumers ; but there is another class
of goods where it affects the retailers,
who have much more power of cor
recting it. This is in the case of pack
ages that have to be broken and re
tailed from, as in raisins, pork, etc.
Wo wonder if these swindlers ever
have any thought of a hereafter. It
would be very convenient for them if
hell should turn out to be a myth. In
case, however, of its absolute jurisdic
tion, we should say they would fall,
like Matt Carpenter, “ desperately
short” when weighed in God’s bal
ance.
The Rome Courier is “ red hot” on
the Legislature. It says :
We want a better quality of states
man instead of the great quantity of
flesh and blood. In other words, the
Legislature should be made of more
brains, and less of fat aud guts. A few
men of ability, honesty and discretion
would give us better laws and at far
less expense. There is too much
mediocrity, and these want to do some
thing if it’s nothing but to make asses
of themselves by proposing some
foolish law. When they can think of
nothing else they spend their time in
hunting a section of the Code that no
cine else has attacked.
Until our Legislature is composed of
fewer and a better oiass of members,
wo •hali bar* the like at every session.
The Atlanta Herald man, who went
to the Memphis Mardi Grad? thus de
scribes the lady who accompanied him :
She is a rare and radiant aristocrat;
white, serene and shining as a star;
full-bodied find voluptuous; eyes of
deepest blue, and a wealth of golden
hair, caught from her sloping shoulders
in great tawny masses. She is as fair
as newly fallen snow, and the chaste
whiteness is nowhere broken, save in
her celestial palms whereHhe prisoned
blood kindles into a rose color, or in
her curling lips, where impatience
whips it into a passion.
That’s bumptious ! ’ Here is the way
he described himself “after the ball:”
At three in the morning, half drunk
with excitement, and giddy and faint,
I left the hall.
Three bottles of Congress water and
a Russian bath, next morning, proba
bly put him on his high horse again.
“Specks,” the Washington corres
pondent of the Atlanta Herald, relates
what he calls an amusing incident,
when the vote was taken on the Civil
Rights bill:
The Republicans had worked in the
leading plank of the Greeley platform,
as a preamble to their bill. This pre
amble declared “all men are free and
equal,” etc. Now, as most of the
Democrats had voted for Greeley they
were compelled, of course, to swallow
the preamble. A seperate vote was
taken on it, and when the name of
Gen. Phil Cook was called he voted
“aye” in stentorian tones, but immedi
ately turned around and exclaimed
sotto voce:
“That’s the d—dest lie I ever voted
for in my life I”
It so happened that Vice-President
Wilson was occupying a seat on the
floor, just iu rear of Cook. When Cook
turned around and made this remark,
Roberts, of New York, introduced
them; whereupon Wilson remarked
that “onoe it was a lie, but not now.”
Cook immediotely rejoined:
“Just the same lie, Mr. Vice-Presi
dent, that Thomas Jefferson voted for
when he owned three hundred slaves ;
that Massachusetts voted for when
Boston ships were engaged in the slave
trade.”
The rejoinder created considerable
merriment. Wilson kindly and smiling
ly acknowledged the shot, and said:
“General, you fight well wherever
you are found.”
There is a bit of rhyme which we re
commend to Gen Cook. It is this:
“Dare to be true; nothing can need a lie.
The fault that needs it most grows two
thereby.”
Assisting Nature.
It is of no use attempting to force
nature. She won’t stand it, and rebels.
She must be coaxed, as it were, not
driven. For instance, in attempting to
overcome constipation or indigestion,
violent, or tvhat physicians call, by way
of euphony, “heroic” treatment, is sure
to defeat the purpose in view, which is,
or should be, to permanently remedy
the evil. The use of drastic cathartics
is especially to be deprecated, for al
though they temporarily overcome cos
tiveness, yet the intestines are so
weakened and inflamed by them as to
be rendered unfit to perform the elec
tive function properly. How much
better to assist nature iu such a case
with such a mild and salutary aperient
as Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, which
strengthen at the same time that they
relieve the bowels. Not only is this
result achieved by their use, but the
activity of the torpid liver is restored,
the stomach invigorated, and the en
tire system greatly benefited.

CHEMICAL FERTILIZER
CONCENTRATED.
PREPARED THIS PjILL, (NOT OLD STOCK,)
BY EDWARD BARRY, M. D.,
FRAOTIOAL’AIN DjAGRICULTURAL CHEMIST.
SOLD BY
EDWARD BARRY & CO.,
288 Broad Street, Aiig-uNta, Gra.
THE EVIDENCE presented In the statements of the respectable and intelligent plant
. wifi satisfy Southern men that this CONCENTRA
ijsD CHEMICAL FERTILIZER may claim to be equal, if not superior to any in the
market; tnat being composed of a base of raw-bone, decomposed with Sulphuric Acid
and a combination of Chemicals, it is devoid of the enormous amount of inert matter
which all Phosphate Rock preparations must contain; ancl that it presents the best
guarantee of a large profitable return, as testified to by all who have used it We refer
to our Pamphlets for this evidence, as it is too voluminous for our advertisement. The
preparation is varied in composition to meet the condition of the two great classes al
our soils:
Our C. FERTILIZER, adapted to Clay Soils.
Our G. FERTILIZER adapted to' Sandy Soils.
