Military Soiree.— The military soiree
of the Irish Volunteers Tuesday night,
at their new armory, was one of the
events of the season in social life. At
one time there were 88 persons on the
floor for dancing. We regrot that we
could not avail ourself of the invitation
to be present and enjoy the occasion.
Cold Weather. —The cold weather
has come back again. Last night it
was blowing a northeast wintry gale.
So far the farmers have had hardly a
half a chance. They are fully twenty
days behind, and the prospects at this
moment are that this will be greatly
extended.
Personal. —Capt. Thos P. Stovall,
one of our former most active and en
terprising citizens, is now engaged in
the commission business in St. Louis,
Mo. While regretting the loss of one
of our fine business men, we must con
gratulate the mercantile circles of St.
Louis upon the acquisition of such
prominent merchants as Capt. Stovall,
and at the same time wish him the
greatest success in his new field.
Excursion to Atlanta. — Through the
kindness of the officers of the Geor
gia Railroad, Father Butler, of the
Jesuit Church, has chartered an excur
sion train to Atlanta and return. The
money raised by this round trip will be
appropriated for religious purposes.
The fare to and fro is only $2.50. The
trai# will leave Augusta on May Ist
and return the following day. Tickets
can be hand at the establishments of
Messrs. James A. Gray, A. Mullarky,
Gallaher & Mulherin, O’Donnell &
Burke, P. Kelly and Henry Kennedy.
Superior Court. —This met at 9:30
o’clock yesterday morning, pursuant to
adjournment, Judge H. B. Tompkins
presiding. Only one case was called,
that of Armsted Fletcher vs. Bohne vs.
Hammond claim, which was not finished
before the adjournment of court. It
will be finished this morning. The
grand jury rendered the following in
dictments : The State vs. Adam Daw
son—burglary. This was the burglary
of Mr. John Rappold’s store on the 3d
of January. State vs. Hardy Ryals
and Jack Williams—burglary, two in
dictments. These parties were indict
ed for the burglary of the houses of
Mrs. Sarah Dunham and Mr. Thomas
Shackleford Sunday night last. State
vs. Enoch Freeman —burglary.—
State vs. Len Bacon and Albert
Sinkfleld—Burglary in the night. These
parties were indicted for the recent
robbery of the store of Mr. John Schri
ver, and stole his horse, near the Ar
senal. State vs. C. Lenahan —Assault
and battery. This is the private watch
man at the Fair Grounds, who is
charged with shooting a boy named
John Sullivan, who was looking over
the fence on the occasion of the late
race at that place. State vs. Reuben
Taliaferro —Murder. This party is
charged with the murder of another
colored man, at his house on the lower
part of Greene street, on the sth of
December last. After rendering the
indictments, the grand jury adjourned
until Friday. Court adjourned until
this morning at 9:30 o’clock.
Committal of Noah Kent.— Noah
Kent, the young man charged with
the murder of an unknown peddler,
whose body was found in the woods in
Columbia county, about four weeks
since, was carried before Gen. G. W.
Evans, Justice of the Peace, near Bel-
Air, on the 12th, for examination. It
appeared in the evidence that the
carpet-bag which the peddler was
known to have when last seen in that
locality, the latter part of January,
was found in the possession of Kent,
and the keys taken from the pockets
of the dead man unlocked it. There
was also found in his possession
several pairs of pants, handkerchiefs,
shirts, buttons, pins, needles, etc., all
of which were identified as being just
like the articles which the peddler had
been offering for sale in the neighbor
hood. Several parties testified that
Kent . was the last person seen
in company with the peddler. Kent
stated in court that he bought
the above mentioned articles at auc
tion. There was other evidence ad
duced, all of which caused the Justice
to decide to commit the defendant to
await the action of the grand jury of
Columbia Superior Court. Kent was
then remanded to the county jail at
Appling. _______
Fire Department Election. —The
several companies composing the Fire
Department of Augusta last night held
another election for Second Assistant,
to fill the vacancy occasioned by the
death of Assistant J. L. Hanlon, the
first election resulting in no choice.
The following was the result in each
company—the candidates being Capt.
Geo. P. Weigle, of No. 1, and Lieut.
Geo. W. Calvin, of No. 2 :
Pioneer Hook and Ladder, No. 1—
Weigle 2, Calvin 21; Washington, No.
I—Weigle 48, Calvin —; Clinch, No. 2
Weigle 1, Calvin 39; Vigilant, No. 3
Weigle 12, Calvin 12; Gazelle, No. 4
Weigle 8, Calvin 11; Augusta, No. 5
Weigle 10, Calvin 10; Blennerhassett,
No. 6—Weigle 9, Calvin 19; Richmond,
No. 7—Weigle 14, Calvin 7; Citi
zen, No. B—Weigle 24, Calvin 5.
According to the figures we have ob
tained and given above, we make out
the following result. There may be a
few changes in the figures when the
official count is made to-night, when
the officers are to consolidate the votes,
but it seems now that Capt. G. P.
Weigle is elected : Geo. P. Weigle 128 •
Geo. W. Calvin, 124. Total votes, 252.

RESULT OF A BOY’S FIGHT.
A Colored Boy Dies from a Cut Made
by a Companion in a Fight.
On the 26th of March, difficulty oc
curred at Mr. Lawrence’s butcher pen,
just outride the city l hnits, below Hal
laban’s brick yard, "between two young
negro boj >, named and aged respect
ively Joseph Farris, 13 years (son of
Graudison Harris, the colored Justice
of the Peace), and William Donaldson,
about 16 or 17 years, in which
the latter received a stab, in the
left breast from a large knife in
the hands of the former. The boy
Wm. Donaldson, after receiving the
cut, bled considerably, and was carried
to his home in the New Territory,
where he received medical attention.
The other boy, Jos. Harris, was ar
rested and carried before Judge Snead,
of the County Court, but the case
being settled, he was not prosecuted.
Since that time, however, the wounded
boy has been conflred to his bed, and
lately sank rapidly—dying at 2 o’clock
Tuesday night.
Graudison Harris, the father of the
boy who cut the other, early yesterday
morning informed Coroner Kunze of
his death, and desired that an inquest
should be held. In pursuance of this
notification, the Coroner had a jury
summoned, and at 12 m. proceeded to
hold an inquest on the body of the de
ceased.
After organization the jury viewed
the body in the house of deceased’s
mother, just opposite the office of the
colored Justice Harris, in the New
Territory, after which they adjourned
to his office and heard the evidence
which we give in substance:
Sarah Jenkins, (colored) who saw the
cutting says it occurred on a Friday
afternoon in March, after some words
had passed between the two boys re
garding a sheep’s head, which Wm.
Donaldson had, and was claimed by
Joe Harris. The difficulty occurred at
Lawrence’s butcher's pen; Bill told Joe
to put down his knife and he would
give him the sheeps head. He asked
Joe if he drawed his knife on him, and
Joe replied yes, he did; bill picked up a
paddling stick, when Joe said “if you
don’t give it to me Pa says I must cut
your guts out.” At the corner of
the house Bill was looking for the
shoes. He put the paddle on the side
of Joe’s face and asked him if he was
mad; then told him to put up his knife,
and he would give him the sheep head.
It appears then that the cutting oc
curred. Bill ran off some distance,
when he fell and was picked up and
carried home. The witness says the
knife was a butcher knife. The boys
had a fuss the day before this
difficulty. They were playing together
only an hour before the cutting occur
red, which was about. 6 o’clock.
Robert Stills saw the cutting. When
he came up to the two boys he saw Bill
with a stick in his hand, with which he
struck Joe once on the leg and then on
the face. The boy with the knife told
him to quit. They then looked as if
they were playing. About this time
the other ran up and stabbed him with
a knife; looked like a large knife; too
large to be a pocket knife. Bill ran
about a hundred yards before he fell.
I ran to him and helped to pick him
up. He was bleeding considerably.
Saw Joe cut the other only once, when
he ran off. When he got to him he was
lying on his face, bleeding considerably.
Richard Dallas (colored) testified
that he, with another party, took Joe
Harris in a wagon the evening before
the difficulty, to carry him around
through town, for the purpose of
avoiding Bill Donaldson, whom Joe
had reason to suppose was lying in
wait for him.
Grandison Harris—father of the
boy, Joe Harris—testified that the boy
had been employed for seven years by
Mr. Lawrence. The day before the
cutting, Joe came home aDd said he
had come around through town to
avoid meeting this boy. The deceas
ed said in witness’ presence, since he
was on his bed, that he had intended
to cut his boy. He never told his boy
to cut the other boy’s guts out.
Biddy Cephas (col.) partly substan
tiated the evidence of the first witness.
She lives at Lawrence’s buther pen;
the two boys came in her house, when
she told them to go out; she did not
want them to have a fuss in her house;
after going out she turned around and
saw Joe, who was smaller than the
other boy, jump up and cut him ; she
could almost hear the knife cutting
the bone; she said Joe was not hired
at the pen; the sheep’s head belonged
to Joe; Bill had taken it and laid it on
a shelf; Bill was hired, to attend to
cattle.
Lydia Donaldson, mother of the de
ceased, was examined, but gave no ev
idence that was of importance. She
merely described his actions and re
peated his words, just previous to his
death, which had no bearing on the
case.
At this point the inquest was ad
journed until five o’clock p. m., to await
the result of the post mortem exami
nation to be made by Dr. Edward Ged
dings. This examination was delayed
on account of the difficulty in obtain
ing the necessary instruments to be
used for the purpose.
At the appointed hour, five o’clock,
the jury reassembled, when Dr. Ged
dings gave in his evidence, which was
in effect that the deceased came to his
death from a wound in the left breast.
The jury then rendered their verdict
as follows :
We, the jury, upon our oaths, say
that the said Wm. Donaldson came to
his death from the effects of a wound
inflicted by a knife in the hands of
Joseph Harris, upon the 26th day of
March 1875. P. G. Sheahan,
Foreman.
Afterward Coroner Kunze obtained
a warrant for the arrest of the boy, Joe
Harris, from Judge Claiborne Snead, of
the County Court, based upon the affi
davit of the foreman of the jury.
As soon as the death of Wm. Don
aldson became known, Joe Harris went
to the police office and surrendered
himself. He is a small j boy.
A Shooting Affair.
Last night, about a quarter to nine
o’clock, two shots, one immediately
after the other, were heard at the cor
ner of Jackson and Ellis streets. Upon
investigation it was found that Mr. E.
M. Miller, the well known sign painter,
having met Messrs. J. Guiffrida and
Yicenzo Provenzano, who have charge
of the barber shop under the Globe
Hotel, had some words with them, and
shots were exchanged. Mr. Miller was
accompanied by two friends, who were
almost immediately in the rear of him,
having just come out of the Post Office,
and were all proceeding toward Broad
street, while the other two were going
toward Greene street, when they met
on the crossing. J
The difficulty seems to have origi
nated from a misunderstanding regard
ing a business transaction. We en
deavored to learn the particulars from
both eides, and give the facts as we
obtained them. From Mr. Miller’s
friends we learn that some words en
sued between himself and Mr. Guiffrida
early last Monday morning, on Jackson
street, where they met, regarding a
small debt due by the former to the
latter. Afterward Mr. M. was advised
to be on his guard, as he had good rea
son to believe that he might be attack
ed at any time. He, therefore, had car
ried a pistol to protect himself. It is said
that when he was met last night by the
two men, Guiffrida and Provenzano, the
former drew a sword cane upon him
and attempted to strike him, while
Provenzano placed his hand behind
him, with the purpose, Miller thought,
of drawing a pistol to shoot him, when
he drew his pistol, and, after snapping
two barrels of it, fired the third at his
antagonist—the shot, as it afterward
appeared, grazing the inside of the
forefinger of the left hand of Proven
zano. Mr. Miller, finding his pistol did
not work well, and fearing a combined
attack, retreated, and then proceeded
to the City Hall, where he delivered
himself up to the police
From the other side we learn that
Messrs. Guiffrida and Provenzano were
going through Jackson street, across
Ellis, when they were met by Mr. Mil
lor. Provenzano placed his hand in
his pocket with the expectation of
then paying Mr. Miller a small amount
he owed, which was in controversy,
when Mr. Miller fired three shots at
himself and companion. Mir. Guiffrida
says that he had some words with Mr.
Miller on Monday morning last, when
the latter punched him in the face, and
he then showed bruises on his left
cheek-bone and about the left eye,
said to be caused by being struck by
Mr. Miller.
Messrr. Guiffrida and Provenzano
were arrested at their rooms, on
Greene street, near Jackson, after Mr.
Miller delivered himself up to the po
lice, and after consultation at the police
office, the Chief required all of the par
ties to give bond for their appearance
this morning. The bonds were readily
given and all discharged.
DECORATION DAY.
The 22d Day of May the Day—Ex-
Federals Invited to Participate—
Fraternization.
[Memphis Appeal, April 18.]
At a meeting of ex-Confederate offi
cers and soldiers, last evening, called
for the purpose of making arrange
ments to^ assist the Ladies’ Monumen
tal Association in decorating the graves
at Elmwood, a large number were pres
ent. Gen. G. W. Gordon was called to
the chair, and Maj. W. H. Rhea made
Secretary. On motion of Col. Gallo
way, of the Appeal, May 22d was fixed
as the day for the decoration of the
graves of Confederate soldiers. A com
mittee was appointed to select an ora
tor.
Major Goodman presented and read
the following letter, which fully ex
plains itself: *
“Memphis, April 17, 1875.—Dear
Goodman: I notice a call in the morn
ihg papers for a meeting to arrange
for assisting the Ladies' Monumental
Association in the decoration of the
Confederate graves at Elmwood, signed
by yourself and other friends. The call
also says; ‘All are invited to participate
who desire to do so.’ I was, as you
and others well know, a Federal officer
during the earlier part of the war, until
April, 1863, and made no secret of it
when I came to Memphis in that year,
as I believed then, as now, I was act
ing only as duty called me. That you
and thousands of others thought and
acted differently are no reasons that;
your comrades and mine, now lying in
their peaceful graves, hawing given
their lives for their convictions of right,
should not be honored in our memories.
If you think I would not be Intruding,
I should be glad to assist in any way I
can. Yours truly,
“H. T. Tomlinson.”
Maj. Goodman stated that he had
replied that they would be pleased to
receive Col. Tomlinson’s sympathy, as
well as his aid and co-operation in all
ceremonies that they might celebrate.
Moreover, he told him that of all oth
ers there was least enmity between
soldiers who had fought in the Confed
erate and Federal armies. The offer
of Col. Tomlinson should be accepted.
Maj. W. H. Rhea moved that Col.
Tomlinson’s letter be cordially received
and made a part of the proceedings of
the meeting. The motion was unani
mously adopted.
Attorney General Luke E. Wright
moved that all Federal soldiers, and
all others who so desire, be cordially
invited to participate in the decoration
of the Confederate graves. He agreed
with Maj. Goodman that no enmity
was cherished between the men who
fought in the Confederat e and Federal
armies. The spirit of fellowship on
the part of Col. Tomlinson should be
met with the hand of appreciation by
the Confederates. They would do that
which was good and which would be
sanctioned by the true soldiers in ce
menting the fellowship and bridging
over the chasm. Brave soldiers were
too magnanimous to cherish any enmi
ty or hatred, and he hoped the motion
would be adopted.
Hon. H. Casey Young, member of
Congress elect, seconded Gen. Wright’s
motion.
Col. M. C. Galloway, of the Appeal,
deemed the motion proper, especially
in view of the fact that the Grand
Army of the Republic had receded
from its former position, and wished to
have both Federal and Confederate
graves decorated together.
Maj. Will. O. Woodsen, Southern
agent of the Associated Press, stated
that at a recent meeting of the Federal
soldiers in Chicago to make prepara
tion for the decoration of the graves of
their dead, all prominent ex-Con
federate officers and soldiers had been
invited to participate in the ceremonies.
This he had noticed in the press dis
patches, and stated the fact, as he did
not think it had been published here.
The motion of Gen. Wright was
unanimously adopted, and the meeting
adjourned subject to the call of the
chairman, Gen. G. W. Gordon.
The meeting was harmonious and
truly representative. Among the no
ticeable citizens present were Hon. Jef
ferson Davis, Gen. Joseph R. Davis,
ex-Governor Isham G. Harris and Gen.
Colton W. Greene.
—i
A Self-Advertising Remedy. —There
are certain proprietary articles that
advertise themselves. Among these
are Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters. It
may be truly said of this celebrated
remedy for disorders of the stomach,
liver and bowels, and antidote to mala
ria, that the contents of every bottle is
an advertisement, since its good effects
so d*:idedly and promptly evince
themselves as invariably to elicit favor
able comment from those who use it.
This is particularly true in rural
neighborhoods invaded by chills and
fever; and other types of malaria, for
which it is a recognized specific. Such
disorders being epidemic the question
“What is the best remedy and safe
guard”naturally presents itself to every
body in this vicinity, and is made the
subject of general inquiry. A family
benefltted by the Bitters communi
cates the fact to the neighbors, who in
turn become patrons of the great
remedy, and proclaim its efficacy. This
explains why it has become the most
popular of American household medi
cines, and why its popularity is con
tinually on the increase.

Like to Obtain.—No doubt the pub
lic would like to obtain what it re
quires at as cheap a rate as possible,
and many times are induced to pur
chase the cheapest articles they can
procure, overlooking the fact that al
though professedly cheapest they are
in reality the dearest in the end. Take
Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder and
his True Flavoring Extracts, and they
may cost a few cents more than the
common kinds, yet they are the cheap
est, for they require one-third less in
quantity, and when used in cakes, pies
puddings, &c., make them splendid and
qlso wholesome. We have yet to see
the housewife that was not satisfied
with these articles. As there are pow
ders sold in bulk for Dr. Price’s—which
are not his—be sure to get the genu
ine, put up in cans securely labelled,
and made only by Steele & Price.

FINANCE AND TRADE
The Augusta Markets.
Augusta, April 21,1875.
The financial situation continues nomi
nally unchanged. Nothing of importance
has occurred to-day, Securities remaining
about as usual, with no extra inducements
1 o cause a change in prices. New York Ex
change is rather dull, but little offering and
small demand. The rates to-day were
buying at % premium and selling at %
premium. Exchange on Savannah and
Charleston buying at % off and selling at
par.
General Remarks.
The Provision market yesterday was, if
possible, more dull than the day before,
the weather in a measure being probably
one of the causes of this. There was to
day but little if any change in quotations
of staple articles of produce, and no Im
portant transactions. Wheat, though, is
quoted higher than the quotations last
given.

The market has again ruled dull with
prices still easy.

that all persons living in or owning property
in said State shall return the amount and
value of said property, real or personal,
owned on the first day of APRIL in each year,

I will attend the Country Districts on their
respective Court days. I will also visit all the

Shops of every kind in the city and oountry
before closing the Digest, in order to give the
employes an opportunity of making their
Returns.
I earnestly request all white and eolored
citizens to oome forward and make their Re
turns as the law requires. I would call special
attention to the Tax Laws ef HT6. The owners

estimated according to the value of the Shares

The only exemptions now allowed by law
to each head of a family, except that of long

STRAWBERRIES
AT
JAMES G. BAILIE & BUG’S.
To Arrive, on Tuesday Morning,
TWO CASES OF
STRAWBERRIES!
pr!B-tf
A Library of Universal In
formation.
The American Cyclopaedia
Entirely Revised and Fully Illustrated.
With Maps and Engravings.
Complete in Sixteen Valumes.
Edited by GEO. RIPLEY and CHARLES
A. DANA.
THE NECESSITY FOIi A CYCLOP.EDIA:
Every one that reads, every one that min
gles in society, is constantly meeting with
allusions to subjects on which he needs
and desires further information. In conver
sation, in trade, in professional life, on the
farm, in the family, questions are contin
ually arising, which no man, well-read or
not, can always satisfactorily answer. If
the facilities for reference are at hand,they
are consulted, and not only is the curiosity
gratified and the stock of knowledge in
creased, but perhaps information is gained
and ideas are suggested that will directly
contribute to the business success of the
party concerned.
But how are these facilities for reference
to be had ? How are the million to pro
cure a Library ? How are they to obtain
the means of informing themselves on
every point in which they may be interest
ed; of satisfying themselves with respect
to persons and places, questions of art and
science, religion and politics, literature and
philosophy, agriculture, commerce, and
manufactures? How can the working
man hope to bring within his reach the
whole circle of sciences, and every point of
human knowledge as developed up to the
present moment? We answer, by sub
scribing to the AMERICAN CYCLOPEDIA.
A Cyoloptedia is pre-eminently the work
for our country and generation. No one
has time to grope among a hundred differ
ent works for over;* fact required, without
the certainty of finding it at last. W hen a
Cyclopaedia, embracing every important
subject, and having its topics alphabetical
ly arranged, not a moment is lost. The
matter in question is found at once, di
gested, condensed, stripped of all that is
irrelevant and unnecessary', and verified
by a comparison of the best authorities.
Moreover, while only men of fortune can
collect a library complete in all the depart
ments of knowledge, a Cyclopmeia, worth
- in itself, for purposes of reference, at least,
a thousand volumes, is within the x'each of
all—the clerk, the merchant, the profes
sional man, the farmer, the mechanic. In
a country like ours, where the humblest
may be called to responsible positions re
quiring intelligence and general informa
tion, the vaiue of such a work cannot be
over-estimated.
HOW TO GET A IHBBABY.
The “ American Cyclopaedia” is in fact a
library in itself. It is a knowle4ge of the
centuries boiled down; the essence of ail
books crystaiizod. It stands on the shelves
ready to answer brieliy every conceivable
question in physics, history, politics, art,
philosophy, anti wixat not; to furnish pre
cisely the information wanted on almost
every possible subject; to turn your child
ren’s wide-eyed wondering into the best of
schoolmasters; to make of every quostion
sprung in the family circle an instructive
lesson; to convert your guesses into posi
tive knowledge; to give you in brief para
graphs the result of other men’s years of
toilsome investigation. It Is everything in
little, and no skill is necessary to the find
ing of the particular thing its owner may
happen to want. It is far more truly one
of the necessaries of life than are many of
the things which we commonly mean by
that phrase.
The work has been entirely rewritten by
the ablest writers on every subject, printed
from new type, and illustrated witii seve
ral thousand engravings and colored lith
graphie maps. It is issued every two
months, beginning July, 1873, and will be
completed in sixteen volumes—ten volumes
now ready—which are payablo only upon
the delivery of each volume, so that the
cost, which prevents most people from
buying a Cyclopaedia, is thus divided into
small instalments, which will be scarcely
noticed. It is not obligatory to take all
the volumes now published upon the first
deliverery; a volume may be delivered
ouce a month, or once in two months, at
the option of the subscriber. The question
is only, how much can be spared each
month r Three dollars a month, which is
only ten cents a day, the price of a segar,
will pay for a complete set of the Cyclo
paedia by the time of its completion. Then
there will be something substantial saved,
and a storehouse of knowledge, Indeed a
Universal Library in itself, secured, with
but little effort or sacrifice.
