THE NEWS. TOCCOA, GEORGIY A rnovemsnt ia on foot in Niearuaga to never the relations between Church and State. Judge Brown in the United States Court at Detroit has decided that the de¬ vice. “Patent Applied For" is no protec¬ tion to an inventor. It will require about 12,000 men to man the new American Navy. It would prove interesting to know how many of the number will be native Americans. The number of stars in the United States flag for all branches of the service is thirty-eight, and the number will not be changed until the Fourth of July, 1890. Ex-Mayor Weaver, of Pittsburg, Penn.. Bays there is no longer any land in that city available for manufacturing sites. The lowest price for land suitable foi such uses is at least $18,000 an acre, and that is more than manufacturers care tc pay- Although the climate at the British set tlement on the delta of the Niger is so unhealthy that the average life of the English residents is less than four years, there are over a hundred applicants for every position in that branch of the ser¬ vice. The Chicago Uerald has discovered that in twelve cases out of twenty-two oi Importance in the last three years, experts in ehirography have gons dead wrong in their deductions. There are a hundred men in every State who write precisely the same hand._ A Bishop has been found who defends boxing. The Bishop of Bedford, Eng¬ land, has just said: “I can see no possi¬ ble harm in boxing. It is a capital ex¬ ercise, and calculated to promote good temper and self control. I do not know •why every man should not know how to defend himself.” 1 One of the peculiarities of the United States .which forcibly impresses foreign- «rs, states the San Francisco Chronicle , is the bad condition of the country roads. While the facilities for moving goods from one remote point to another have increased at a prodigious rate in America, very little has been to improve the road¬ ways traversed by wagons. A French missionary gives a serious ac¬ count of the state of slavery in Ecuador. Though it is not a legal institution, yet the law permits the Indian to sell himself •s a slave when he is unable to pay his debts, and once a slave he is rarely able to free himself. lie may be bequeathed by will. The majority of the interior In¬ dians have been reduced to this condition. The custom of the Digger Indians in California has always been to cremate their dead. The first funeral of an Indian by burial from the neighborhood of Smarts- ville tbok place a day or two since. The remains were interred in Nevada County. They were of a girl who was one of the fifth of six generations in which they were living specimens up to two years ago. The little country of Holland has fallei so far from the proud position it once held among the nations of the earth, that we are accustomed to think of the sturdy Dutch nation as a people of little conse¬ quence. Yet, notwithstanding the de¬ cline of her strength in Europe, Holland is still one of the great colonial powers of the world, ranking, it is said, only next to Great Britain in that respect. Her colonial possessions comprise some eight hundred thousand square miles of fine and fertile tropical territory. Observes the New York Telegram; “By the by, there’s something very droll about Gould making his private physician —one Miinn, or Bunn or something of that sort—a director in Union Pacific The medical gentleman receives a salary of $20,000 a year from Gould. Of course the better part of this will go into investments in the stock of which he is a director, and equally, of course, the bet¬ ter of that $20,000 will eventually get back into Gould s pocket. That's why the whole thing strikes me as droll. - ’ Says the New York Graphic: “J. L. Bell, the new Superintendent of the Rail¬ way Mail Service, has not gone into the service of the Government to make money. He was earning as a railway expert about $20,000 a year, and received $5000 as a fee for his advice and work in one rail¬ way case just before he was asked to takt the present office. His salary as Superin¬ tendent of the Mail Service is $4000 a year. He is a personal friend of Post- master-General Wanamaker, and haj sacrificed his financial interests to do th? Philadelphia statesman a favor. - ’ Governor Porter, the new Minister tc Italy, is said by the Alta Californian tc have the same disease in his foot that once troubled the late Vice-President Hen dricks. All the city physicians gave Hendricks up, when an old country d«>c tor called to see and was shown the sore toe. The old man looked at it through his specs, took out his jack-knife aac lanced it, and tl\en tied it up in a chew ol tobacco. When asked what ailed Hen. dricks he replied: ‘ ‘A bite on his bis toe.” The toe got .well. The Californu tditor advises Governor Porter to sea* itt that old fellow at once. SOUTHERN ITEMS. ITEMS OF INTEREST FROM VA¬ RIOUS POINTS IN THE SOUTH. an ITEMIZED ACCOUNT OF WHAT IS OOINO OK OS IMPORTANCE IN TH* SOUTHERN STATU. The business interests of Dublin, Ga., received a severe shock Sunday morning by the destruction by fire oa Sunday, of ten blocks of stores, aggregating a loss of nearly $50,009. Some of the wholesale merchants of Savannah, Ga., are talking of having a bill introduced in the Legislature making it an offense punishable by a heavy fine to underbill goods. The color line was drawn ia Richmond, Va , on Monday night, by a meeting of colored people who organized an inde¬ pendent party to whose membership nc white man w ill be admitted. The dead body of John Johnson, a negro, was found in a ditch in the woods near Oxmoor in a fearful mutilated con¬ dition, Monday. The throat was cut and a dozen stabs had been inflicted in the sides. A brakeman on the Jasper branch ol the N. & C. Railroad, named Frank Hogc, was caught between the bumpers of the passenger coach while making a coupling nmshed at Chattanooga, Tenn., was almost into pulp and was killed instantly. Returns from the election held in New Orleans, La., show the drainage ordinance has been defeated by 900 to 1,000 votes. The last legislature authorized the tax payers of New Orleans to vote a tax of three mills per annum for the purpose of drainage and paving, i Official information was received at Raleigh, N. €., of a brutal murder in 'stirred Alleghany county, which has greatly up the people. A mulatto man named Joe Russell, alias Rowland, shot down and instantly killed a venerable white man named David Tompkins, near Sparta. At last, the 4th United States artillery, with their magnificent band, all under command of Col. H. W. Closson, have domiciled at Fort McPherson, n«ar At¬ lanta, Ga., nnd the Gate City fashiona¬ bles are happy. Germans, hops, picnics, concerts, etc., will enliven the life of the Atlantians. Fayette Evans, a desperate character, who has been a terror to the suburb of St. Elmo, near Chattanooga, Tenn., for years, and who recently made a despe¬ rate attempt to kill Amos Field, in Walker county, Ga., was on Tuesday tried on a wairant of lunacy, and judged insane. The recent discharge of conductors in the upper division of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad, was followed by the di-charge division, < f three on the South and North running between Mont¬ gomery nnd Decatur, Ala. No cause is given. The conductors are simply served with notice to quit. Rev. George W. Murray was found at the gate of Bennett Holt, in Wilcox county, Georgia, where he was on a visit, lying under h i horse crushed to death, ills horse was lame in the left fore leg, md it is supposed that the horse fell on him as he tried to mount to go to his home. He was a Baptist minister, sev¬ enty-five yeais old. The preachers ot the Tennessee Con¬ ference, M. E. Church South, are very indignant at the book agent of the pub¬ lishing house in Nashville, for having bought and published a book in which preachers are criticised that for dabbling in politics. It is charged this is a di¬ rect blow at those ministeis who entered the lists in the ptohibi'ion campaign of 1887. St. Coleman, the rich merchant of Macon, Ga., died on Sunday. A strange fatality has recently attended Mr. Cole¬ man’s business firms, two of his partners and himself dying within two months. About two months ago N. M. Solomon died, and about six weeks ago Charles Wright died, and now comes Mr. Cole¬ man himself. The surviving members of the firm are W. II. Burden and Eugene Harris. The jury in the case of Lou's Claire nnd John Gibson, chrrged with murder¬ ing Hon. Patrick Mealey, on New Year’s morning 1888, in New Orleans, La., rendered a verdict of “guilty -without capital Claire punishment.” This is the second trial and Gibson have had with similar results, the verdict in the first case having been set aside by the su¬ preme court on the ground that the tes¬ timony had of a material witness for the de¬ fense been improperly excluded. Ethel Harris, a handsome woman of about twenty-two years, was found dead in her room at a hotel in Birmingham, Ala., with a silver-mounted pistol, la¬ dies’ size, beside her. She had suicided. Last Wednesday a well-dressed young man came to the hotel with her and reg¬ istered “A. Wilson and wife, Washing¬ ton Territory.” He represented himself ns being a Unifecl States detective. He left there on the following night and has not been heard of siuce. Mose Mims, a section hand w'orkiDg on the Augusta & Knoxville Road, a few miles from Augusta, Ga., was run over and killed Sunday. He had been paid off and wanted to come to town, but the boss refused to let him off, declaring that he could not spare him from the work. An engine with a couple of flat cars started off towards town, the cars in front, nnd it is supposed the negro tried to steal into town by hiding himself un¬ der one of the cars on the brake shaft. Simon Anderson, a miner at Coaldale, Ala., was shot and killed Tuesday by Scott Parker, a fellow workman. Tues¬ day niyht, when returning home from work, Anderson met Parker and asked wheie he had been. Parker replied : “It is none of your business.” Anderson snatched a pistol from his pocket and tried to cock it, when Parker leveled a double-barreled shot gun on him and pulled the trigger. Anderson fell dead with three dozen bullets in his body. W. A. Newton, who lives one mile from Jackson, Ga., went to his black¬ smith shop and started a fire in the fur¬ nace. Alter heating a plow and while standing at the anvil hammering away on it, the bel ows burst with the noise of t large gun. Lying on the bellows were several heavy plows and other old irons, and. they were dashed against the roof ;*f the house with such force as to loose the shingles. The bellows had become filled with gas fiom the stone coal that had been used in the furnace, which be¬ coming ignited, caused the explosion. Capt. W. R. Joyner, the chief of the fire department in Atlanta, Ga., attended an exhibition of fireworks on Tuesday uight with his family, and in an alterca¬ tion with Policeman Stamps, the officer s ruck him over the head with his club, inflict ng an ugly ga*b. There was a tumble crush at the exits of the show, and in defence of his action, the police¬ man alleged that Joyner knocked ouc ladv d ,aii an1 was likely to knock down some ethers. The policeman has been suspended. Augusta, Ga., I usiness circles has spent the p ist week, in discussing what ia gen¬ et al.y looked upon as a sensation of un- usud magnitude, involving, as it does the most pominent young brokers in the state. James U. Jackson is the man, and riiDK r has charged him with being over $50,000 »Lort in hi* account with George It. Eager, president of the North Georgia Improvement Co., which virtu¬ ally is the Marietta & North Georgia Itai road Co. He is a relative of Maj. Jackson, whose troubles several years ago nffurdel considerable discussion. Suit has been entered in the United States Circuit Court by Charles Edward Lewis, of St. Louis, Mo., against the City of Shreveport, La., for $76,300. This is the amount involved in the dona¬ tion made by that city for the depot of the Texas 6c Pacific Railway. The United States Supreme Court has decided tl at the bonds upon which the money was loaned were illegally issued, but this time the holders come into court and tay they were induced to loan the money on representation made by the mayor and council of Shreveport, it having been loaned by mistake. Detective Daniel Coughlin, Patrick O’Sullivau, an ice man and Frank J. Black, alias Woodruff, a horse dealer, were indicted by the grand jury at Chi¬ cago, Ill., on Tuesday for the murder of Dr. Cronin. The three prisoners were included in one indictment, to which there were three counts, one charging them with killing Dr. Cronin with blunt instruments, the second alleging the use of a sharp instrument and third, instru¬ ment and means unknown, The con- fession of Sullivan in all probability will lead to the arrest and punishment of some of the murderers of Dr. Cronin. The civil engineers and those of the Savannah, Americus& Montgomery, col¬ lided in the upper part of Tattnall coun¬ ty, two or three days ago. The Central corps started out ten days ago to locate the Eden extension west towards East- man. Col. Hawkins has had a corps in the woods for three weeks, running a line from McRae to Savannah. To the surprise of both parties they ran plum against each other this week. The Cen- tial men were surprised to find their ri¬ vals so far north. No blood w r as shed, nnd each party went on its way. Where the two lints are to strike the East Ten¬ nessee, they ate fifteen miles apart. D. W. Harvey,-when opening anew road about two hundred yards up on the side of Pigeon mountain, Dear LaFay- ette, Ga., a flat rock was moved. Be¬ neath it was a stove pot, that contained $2,688.60 in specie. Fifteen years ago theie was a find near Trion. Some hands were at.work cutting down a hol¬ low post oak. As it broke off the stump, a Mexican dollar rolled out. When a thorough search was made, a number of them were found. All were counterfeit. Some shover of the queer had in times past used this oak as the keeper of his secret. CHICAGO’S HORROR. A DETECTIVE CHARGED W1TII DECOYING A MAN TO A HOUSE TO BE MURDERED. Dr. P. n. Cronin, of Ireland, and a resident of Chicago, Ill., was muidered a few days ago. One reason for the re¬ moval of Dr. Cronin was the minority report which he had prepared as a mem¬ ber of a committee of the National League, which had been misappropria¬ appointed to look into certain rumored tions of League money. This report of Dr. Cronin is said to have implicated a number of prominent officials, and would hare been read before the meeting of the League next January. There was scarcely an Irish benevolent, political, literary or social society of which he was not a member. He was an ardent sup¬ porter of the policy of Parnell, and was prominent in Irish-American political movement. His friends attributed his disappearance to a conspiracy of his Irish political enemies, and asserted that he had several times said to his wife: “If I lose my life, or anything happens to me, Alexander Sullivan will be the one back of it.” A member of the Chicago police force is implicated in the taking off of Dr. Cronin. The officer in ques¬ tion is Detective Daniel Coughlin. On the morning of the day on which Dr. Cronin disappeared, Coughlin engaged at a livery stable, not far from where Dr. Cronin lived, a horse nnd buggy, which he said a friend of his would call for that evening; that he called and was given a white horse similar to the one attached to the buggy in which Cronin was decoyed away; that the time of going and the description of the man corresponds minutely, both with the time when the man came for Dr. Cronin and with the appearance of the man himself; that Coughlin subsequently cautioned the livery stable keeper to say nothing about the matter. Coughlin was a member of one or more societies of which Cronin was a member and they were enemiis. The matter was finally brought to the attention of Chief of Police Hubbard, who seems inclined to take a serious view of the matter and promises to probe it to the bottom. It is reported that C. I Long, who sent dispatches from Toronto to several Chi¬ cago papers to the effect that he had seen and conversed with Dr. Cronin in that city several days after he was murdered there, has been seen in Chicago within the past week. The rumor cannot now be verified. The whole affair is a singu¬ lar one, nnd seems to bear out the theory of the police that it w-as a political mur¬ der, and that Detective Coughlin is cog¬ nizant of the particulars, if he did not take part in the actual murder. LUCKY TENNESSEEANS. a pedler’s fortune will be divided AMONG 8QME DESERVING PEOPLE. S‘atc Representative Jones, of Benton county, passed through Nashville on his way to Plainfield, N. J., to look after a large fortune left to some of his clients. About fifty yeais ago a mau named Latimer was tramping through North Carolina with a pedler’e pack on his back, when he fell in love with a poor girl named Sarah Mitchell, whom he saw working in a field. He at once pro¬ posed to her father to work in the giri’s place for his Iu board, if she would go to the house. a few weeks he married the girl and the two went to Plainfield, N. J., to live. They prospered, and five years ago Latimer died wor;h $1,000,- 000. Half of this he left to his relatives and half to his wife. A few weeks ago the widow died, leaving something over $500,000. One half of this she willed to the children of her brothers an i sis¬ ters, who had removed to Benton and Humphreys counties, Tenn., soon after she had gone to New Jersey. 3Ir. Jones says the $250,000 will come to about twenty heirs in bi3 county and Humph¬ reys, and will lift them out of } overty into affluence. One of the family, A. II. Mitchell, is a trustee of Eenk>n coun¬ ty, and gets by the will $40,COO. GENERAL MAYS. CONDENSA TION OF CURIOUS , AND EXC1TIXG EVENTS. Stvs non EVURrWHF.EE —ACCIDENT-, strikes, FIRES, AND HAPPENINGS OF INTEREST. Serious rioting took place in Belgrade an Monday, resulting in the killing of at least three pertons. The British man-of-war Surprise was run a-hore at Syracuse on Sunday after colliding with and sinking the steamer Nesta. The man-of-war got full of wh¬ ter. A fire broke out in the office of the Bellows Falls, Yt., Times , destroying the building and injuring the mammoth block adjo ning. The probable loss is about $20,000. The steamer Orange which arrived at New York on Monday from the West ladies and brought news contr idictory of the former stories, legarding the vic¬ tories supposed to have been gained by Ilippolite’s army. The vault in the registered letter di¬ vision of the Chicago ID., postoffice eighty- was entered Monday niyht. and six registered letters were stolen. It is believed to have been the Work of some one connected with the office. Referring to the indignation caused ia France by the announcement that King Humbert, of Italy, would v'sit Stns- burg, the Berlin Kreus Zeitung warns the French to mind their own business nor dare to interfere with Germany’s do¬ ings in her own province. Sheriff Henderson, who has been on s;uard the last two weeks .it Slatonville, 111., a mining town, telegraphed for re¬ inforcements. A riot is anticipated, as the striking miners of Spring Valley, LaSalle and Streator have threatened to close the mines by force, The coal mines at Slatonville are the only ones in operation in the northern part of that state. There was another conflict at Falcar- ragh, Ireland, on Monday, between evictors and tenants, during which twenty five policemen were injured. Houses were barricaded in the usual way, and the police for a time were totally unable to effect an entrance through the doors. As usual, the su¬ perior forces of the beseigers at last pre¬ vailed, and the evictions were finally accomplished. Experiments in the economy of burning powdered coal side by side with natural gas at the works of Moorhead Bros. & Co., at Pittsburg, Pa., were successful. The amount of coal consumed i:i the first test was 864 pounds and the amount of iron heated was 4,600 pounds. The charge for natural gas is at the rate of cne dollar per ton of iron, while the cost under the new process, it is claimed, would not exceed, iucluding pulveriza¬ tion, fifty cents per ton of iron. A special freight train from Bridge¬ regular port, Conn., collided with the Albany freight, bound south, on the Housatonic Railroad on Tuesday near Bull station, causing a disastrous wreck. Both tfains came together with a terrible crash, wrecking the engines into a shape* less mass, telescoping two fruit cars on the Up train and derailing nine other cars. Engineer William B. Look, of Great Barringt* n, Ma'-s., who had charge of the engine of the up train, was crushed to death. A terrific III. windstorm passed Cyclonic over Quincy, The storm w r as in its nature, nnd considerable damage was done. A black, funnel-shaped cloud sw-ept at a furious rate from northwest to southwest, descending to the earth at irregular intervals. Several houses and barns were unroofed and Irecs were pulled up by the roots. The full force of the storm struck the cemetery in the southern part of the city, and nearly every monument in the grounds was de¬ molished. The two companies of the Chicagro,Ill., Braid- militia, wdiich left that city for wood, where they have been sent by Governor Fifer to preserve the peace,had a close call at Gardner Tuesday. The conductor of the train, on leaving Chica¬ go, had received orders to run slowly between Gardner and Braidivood. It was well this warning was given, otherwise there would have been a terri¬ ble disaster. On reaching Gardner it was found that some miscreant had wedge l stones in the switehr s so firmlv that a wreck would surely have followed had not the obstructions been discovered. Fire started on 3Ionday in an old the¬ ater building, just opposite the depot hotel at Reno, Nev., destroying the ho¬ tel, six other houses and offices near, the Pioneer hotel, Lafaye’te house, Pollard house, and Pyramid hotel. The N. C. depot was also partially consumed. On Center street, fire broke out again and and destroyed five business houses ten residences. In one block every building in except one, was in ashes. Fire an¬ other direction burned the round house and turn-table of the Central Pacific Road and two houses and one cement house. The Silver State Flouring 3Iills were the next consumed, and after that the Fogus Flouring Alii Is. THE SOLDIERS AHEAD. The Brunswick, Ga., Riflemen art mad. They went into camp to drill foi the St. Simons’ encampment, and Satur¬ day afternoon received orders to break camp and move. The order came not from Lieut. Morris,now in command, but from an irate and wealthy citizen who claims that the orders are given so loud at 6 o’clock drill as to disturb his morn¬ ing slumbers. Rather than put up with it, he purchased the lots whereon the camp is located at a cost of $3,500, and the boys had to move in short order. '1 hey have arranged for grounds only one square further aw r ay, and now they will raise a noise sure enough. They are going to fire a salute at six every morn¬ ing and have decided to have the drums beat the long roll every mght and to march by the obnoxious house. A GREAT CANAL. The steamship Alvena sailed on Sun¬ day for Greytown, Nicaragua, carrying and fifty men and a quantity of implements stores for the commencement of the work on the Nicaragua canal. The first work to be done will be the balding of the pier at Greytown, the erection of per¬ manent and slips, quaiters, and ihe hospitals, warehouses putting up of tele¬ graph wires aloDg the line of the pro¬ jected canal. An Illinois notion for making church sociables pleasant is to give each person a card on which a dozen names are writ¬ ten, nnd the recipient of the card must talk five minutes to each one whoso name is on the card. At the end of each five minutes a bell sounds and conversa- tion must cease and new partners be found. This scheme is said to be death to wall flowers and cliques, and of great advantage to the social success of the HLtert&inment. FRUIT AS EVIDENCE. FIT* SUPERSTITIOUS MURDIRERS FUK- KISH CONVICTING PROOF. During the trial of Gilbert Lowe at Birmingham, A*»., for murder, the testi mony of Ben Elzey disclosed the fact that the superstition of five negro mur- derers was largely instrumental in the identification of their victim and their arrest. One night last January, Ben Elzev. Lawrence JohnsoD, Joe Halachi, Gilbert Lowe and Henry Joe, all negroes, found J. W. Meadows, a white man, drunk on the streets; learned he had about $100 dollars in money in his pock¬ et, and they took him ont on Red Moun¬ tain and robbed and murdered him. Meadows had a cocoanut in his hand when murdered. One of the nigrois picked it up and was going to cat it, so Elzey testified on Thursday, but the others told him if he ate the fruit the ghost of the dead man would haunt him. This frightened him, and he left the cocoanut laying by the body. It was six weeks before the body was found, and then it was little more than a skele¬ ton, and could not be identified, The shell of the cocoanut was still laying by the body. A fiuit dealer, hearing of this, remembered selling a cocoanut to a drunken white man, who went away from bis place in company with five ne¬ groes. This was the first, and one of the most important links in the chain of evidence which led to the identification of the body and the arrest of the mur¬ derers. THREE VERY BAD BOYS. Chief of Police Wood, of Fhiladt-1 pliin, Pa., received a telegrom from Jer¬ sey City, signed by John M. Deemer, requesting him to arrest three boys whe left there on a train over the Pennsyl¬ vania railroad. Two detectives were accordingly detailed and when the train arrived at Broad Hreet station the boys were arrested. At the Ceutral Police Station they gave their names as C. E. Burges, aged 14; Volney Gilbert, 14,and Charles Dupret, 15. The boys were walking arsenals. Each was provided with a rifle, cartridge Celt and revolver, and a search of their baggage brought to light a small brass cannon, ammuni¬ tion therefor and fully 2,000 cartridges. In addition to this, they had fishing tackle, dark lanterns, base-ball outfits and the other paraphernalia of sports- men. All there accoutrements were ol the finest kind, Tliey ha 1 through tickets from New York to Louisville, Ky., and one of the lads stated that their destination was Sacramento, Cal. A BOSTON MYSTERY. A bomb was thrown through a win¬ dow of the house of Mrs. C. 31. Weld, iu Jama'ca Plain, Mass., near Boston, by some unknown person. There was no one in the huuse except a servant girl nam d Rogeis, who was in the kitchen, and sLc lor unately escaped unhurt. The side of the house was partially blown out, and a large hole was made in the kiichen floor by the force of the ex¬ plosion. The pipe missile was made of a piece of gas about a foot in length, filled with bullets and with both ends closed by caps. ■mi siani aE/NK/*7* *• r**MpwKf SLACKSMITHING t HORSESHOEING 5 3Ianufaeturing and Repairing WAGONS, BUGGIES —AND— FARM IMPLEMENTS Of all kin ’s.
