The first named is seriously hurt- Some miscreant put obstructions on the track. This is the first accident on the B. &. A. The road will hunt down the perpetrator of the crime. Circumstances point to a certain party as being the guilty one. M A. Finch, of Kentucky, died the city yesterday. The remains, accompanied by his wife and daugh ter, left yesterday for their home, where the deceased will be buried. All that family, physician and friends could do, did not, and could, not stay the hand of death. The warm and heartfelt sympathies of many people in Thomasville followed the wife and daughter on their sad mission home ward. Southern flowers, bedewed with southern tears, covered the cask’ et containing the dead. That was a delightful and pleasant gathering of personal friends at the residence of Dr. Frederick Hum phreys, on Dawson street, yesterday afternoon. The occasion was the anniversary of the 77th birthday of Dr. Humphreys. The hallways and parlors were adorned with palms, pot plants and cut flowers. Everything betokened good taste and elegance., A great nlany, both visitors and resi dents. called to congratulate the Doo* tor. Choice refreshments were served. A number of very elegant presents suitable to the occasion, were made, A richly trimmed birthday cake, or* Da men ted with seventy seven vio’ets, was cut and distributed among the guests. The entire affair was ex tremely pleasant, Dr. and Mrs. Hum phreys receiving and entertaining their guest in charming style.. La Cabana City. . The . Thomasville of the News thus refers to Thomas- ville’s new suburb: La Cabana City h on a boom. The property comprises over 800 acres ad- joinhigThoinasvilltf and is to be de veloped into an industrial suburb. The company is known as the Thom asville Exchange and Banking Com pany, and is officered as follows: D. J. MacIntyre, president and gener al manager; T. C. Mitchell, vice pres ident, and.D. L MacIntyre, T. C, Mitchell, A. T. MacIntyre, A. T. MacIntyre, Jr., and W. H. Mitchell, directors. This is a strong company personally and financially. D I. MacIntyre is a leading cotton broker of Savannah, young, enterprising and successful. He will move to this city aud take full charge of the aflairs of the company. T. C Mitchell is ibat bold and enterprising capitalist of Thdmasville who first launched Thom asville forth as a winter resort by building the palatial Mitchell house. When this building was burned some years ago, and onr people were monrning their loss, he promptly re built it. He is a very rich man. Cot A. T. MacIntyre has for fifty years been a leading citizen of this section, noted for his probity and uni form success. He is also a very rich man, a successful lawyer and and an ex-congrrrarann. A. T. MacIntyre, Jr., is one of the leaders of the Southwest Georgia bar, brimful of energy and ambition. W. H. Mitchell is the son of T. C. Mitchell, and to him belongs the chief credit, for having, by his untiring and judicious efforts, pui this mag nificent enterprise on it* feet. There are still others interested, good and strong men. The company stands ready to ofler unexcelled advantages to manufacturing enterprises, hnih iu way of sites, buildings aud finaiui.nl help. The first building to be located in La Cubaua City is the A. del Pino Company, nmnnfncttirpis of cigars. It is composed of A. A. Parker. A. del Pino, W. Ii. Mitchell, A. *1*. Mac Intyre, Jr., J. Y. del Pino, A. M. Watson and others The factory will be of brick, three stories high, 40x150 feet, and will employ 150 Cuban cr> gar makers, many of whom are al ready iu this city and working in temporary quartern. Work has been begun on au electric street railroad to connect La Cubans City and the Savaunah, Florida and Western de pot. The City and Suburban Railway That street railroad scheme is as suming shape. The men at the head of ihe enterprise have gone to work with an energy that will admit of no failure. meeting was held yesterday morning at which the gentlemen holding the old street railroad fran chise, granted some years ago, trans ferred their charter, right*, privileges, eta, to the new company. This com pany immediately opemd subscrip tion books aud the required amount of money was subscribed at once, and Messrs. A. T. McIntyre, A. T. Mc Intyre, Jr., D. I. McIntyre, W. H- Mitchell and T. C. Mitchell, were elected a board of directors. Mr. W. H. Mitchell appeared be fore a called meeting of the council yesterday afternoon and explained the purposes of the company, after which the following resolution was adopted: Resolved, That the Thomasville and Suburban railroad company have authority to build its tracks and ran ita cars for carriage of passengers and freight in the following streets ol the dty*of Thomasville, to wit: Jackson, Broad, Clay, Lee, Dawson, Hansell, Smith Avenue and Fletcher street, and to cron such other streets as the above streets intersect. Provided, Unit said track,electric lines, passenger and freight charges be subjeet to such reasonable rales, license charges and regulations as may be hereafter adopted by the dty council. We understand that no time will be lost in the construction of the line, bat the work will bo poshed with aU possible speed. The new company is composed of capitalists with on- limited means, men who are noted for their fine business capacity, and there now seems absolutely nothing to pre vent the construction of an electric line of street railway in Thomasville. twenty-five were in the saddle, among whom were: Mrs. G. O. C. Lomand, Boston; Mias Benson, of Ten no Mias Irwin, of Pennsylvania; Miss Brown, Miss Florence Clarke, of Chi cago, and- Miss McAvoy. Messrs. Lawrence, Morgan, Barnes, J. B. King, Chapin, Mallard, Hill, Judge Hopkins, T. N. Hopkins, Wanson, Davis, Iient. Daniels, Masters Fred Morgan and Will Hopkins. The fox was given abont fifteen minutes start. The carriages were stationed at a point where he Jud been seen and the Utile beagles jrere put on the trail. His course was'east through the Taylor and old Aider- man farms for about two miles when he climbed A tree anil was -soon sur rounded by the entire party, all of whotn had kept well up. Judge Hop kins was firat in bat only by a r few feet, Mr. Charles Chapin being a very close second. MUs Clark was the first lady at the finish closely followed by Miss McAvoy. The dogs were now chained and the fox given a half hours start. A most delightful chase was the result, as he was not captured un til nearly within the corporate timits near the Allen Normal School. At this finish little Will Hopkins was first iu, Miss Benson, of Nashville, being the first lady in! Reynard had taken another tree from which ho was taken with a lasso without the slight est injury. The only accident was a header taken by one of the best rid ers of I he party, Mr. Banks Hill, whose hnn-e fell. The pack was com posed of the hounds of Messrs. Cha pin, Yann and Neil. The riding of Muses Clark and McAvoy was superb. They were al ways well in front and managed thier horses like old veterans in the chase. None of the parly failed to notice the ease with which the little mare of Mr. J. B. King, ot New York, took her rider over ditches and other obstruct ions, and how well she was ridden by her nwuer. We understand another chase will be htd next Monday, when a huge wild cat will be substituted for the fox. The Day After. Yesterday iu the police court was a typical “day alter.” The city’s criminals were paying fur their fun, and ike docket was so large that it took nearly all the morning to clear it. The first case called was against H. P. O’Brien, a tailor doing business on Jackson street. O’Brien was up for charge that could not appeal very much tor leniency from the court He used profane languago to a young lady because she had angered him for some slight cause. He was fined $30 and costs, or sixty days. John Edwards was fined $10 and costs for failing to obey summoxf. Jim Hadly was np for disorderly conduct, hut was discharged. Jim Everitt, who was up on a sim* ilar charge, was also fonnd not guilty- Jim Johnson, disorderly conduct, was Sued $5 and costs. Edmond James, disorderly conduct, discharged. Antony Stuart, failing to obey sum mons, fined $10 and costs. Tobe Green, tailing to obey sum mons, $10 and costs. Sam Bacon, disorderly conduct, discharged. Ed. King, fighting, continued. Robert Sinclair, drunk and disor derly, discharged for want of evi dence. Another party was fined for just a plain drank. Two young men were up for quar reling* Tbe evidence did not show them to have been guilty of any great violation of the peace and a fine of $2 and costs each, was decreed as the punishment to fit the crime. Brick Contract Awarded. The TLomasyille Exchange Banking Company has awarded the contract for the brick to be used in the construction of the factories soon to be erected at La Cubans to Mr. C, H. Williams, manager of the Thom* asrille Brick Company. The tract calls for one million brick to he furnished as soon as possible. Mr. Williams will commence manufactur ing them at once at the yard just be yond the cemetery on Jackson street. Those who know Charlie Williams, know that he will rush tbe cootract through with all posrible dispatch. log of an interesting old engine which Mr. John Rourke & Son, of Savan- nah'bas Overhauled. Mr. Hawthorn is an artist in h<s wo*k, and be has succeeded in showing every delicate part and outline of this historic en gine. Speaking of this engine, the News •ays: “John Rourke & San, of the novel ty iron works will have on exhibition at the World's fair in the transporta tion department, probably the oldest engine in the United States, certainly ihe oldest in ase at the present time. It is the old engine used in the 8ayannah steam rice mill, a 90-horse power Beam engine, cylinder 31 inches in diameter and stroke of piston 72 inches. It makes 18 revolutions per minute with a pressure 8 pounds, compound jet condenser and 24 inch air pump. The feed pump works from beam to supply the boilers. The crank shaft and connecting rod are of cast iron. The engine was built ih Lancashire, England, by James Watt in 1815, and was brought to this city and erected at the rice mill of McAlpin & Mclnnis, and has been working regu larly ever since. It was overhauled by John Rourke & Son in August 1891, and was put in good repair. It has bceu frequently noticed in the mechanical aud scientific papers of the country. There seems to be no doubt of its being the oldest working engine in this country, and probably on this continent, and ii bids f.-ir to dogoo l service for many years to come. It will prove a curiosity at Chicago. An Old Citizen Dead. Mr. James F. Fittmau, one of llie oldest citizens of Thomas county, died at the house of his sou-inlaw, two mi'es from Oehlockonee, at twelve o'clock Friday night. Mr. Pittman wav one of tbe oldest and best known citizens ot this county, being 80 years of age at the time of his death. He was boru iu Jackson County, Ga., but moved to Thomas County in 1856, where ho has since resided. Mr. Pittman has been feeble for some years, due to his very old age, but was only confined to bis room the three weeks previous to his death. He was a most excellent man, highly esteemed by every one who knew him, and lived an upright Christian life. He was conscious up to the last and ex pressed a willingness to go only a short time before death claimed him. He leaves four chi dren and a large number of grand children and rela tives to m >urn his death. The remains were interred yester day afternoon in Laurel Hill Cemete ry. Rev. i) H. Parker, assisted by Rev. A. M. Wynn, conducting the ser vices. The bereaved relatives of the de ceased have the sympathy of all in their affliction* A Residence Burned. The Goldbach residence on Steph< ens street was swept away by fire Friday night. The alarm was given just at i a o'clock. The flames, when first seeo, could have almost been covered with a hat, and issuing from the kitchen. As there was no wind of any consequence, it burned very slowly. Other houses were not in mnch danger, as m street divided^bem The fire company arrived too late to do any good but threw a strong stream from tbe cistern at the corner of Clay and Stevens s'reets. The house was owned by (he Milton Goldbach estate and was occupied by Mr. ». Lewis and family. : The estate had $7,50 insurance on boose in the Southern Mutual, and $456-011 house and $150 on furniture in the Ham- ^Bremen, Hansell and Merrill, agents. Mr. Lewis had a small amount 00 his furniture. The burn ing of the residence destroyed another one of the hndmarks of Thomasville. It was built thirty two years ago by Mr. John Stevens, whose grave is just a block back on Osk street. The Georgia Chautauqua. The fifth annual session of the Georgia Chautauqua opens in Al bany on March 15th and will con tinue until April 10th. The exercises this year will embrace lectures by men prominent in the various de partments of active life, grand con certs, draraafle readings and enter tainments in delightful variety; the special schools ofler rare opportun ities for studying during a period u( three weeks; in short the assembly is a center of educational and refining influences and should be attended by all ambitious, wide-awake people who would keep abreast oi the fast mov ing world. Thomasville people have always attended these Chautauqua Assemblies a**d we know that this year more will attend than ever be fore. Our people are fond of visiting the Artesian City. An Important Deal. The Thomasville Variety Works has in part changed owners. Mr. Reynolds has sold his two third inter est to Messrs. Joe and John Beverly. Mr. Hargrave retains his one-third interest. The. deal was not closed un til yesterday, although negotiations have been pending for some time. The works ia the.largest in this sec tion and employs qnite a force of hands. The new members of the firm are both experienced mill men. Mr. Beverly will move here from Och- lockonee and make Thomasville his home. There is the hugest kind of a row in the rank* of the Rising .Aid So ciety. Dissatisfaction has existed for some time, and now the straw that broke the camel's back has appeared. The climax was reached yesterday when the law was asked to step in. The first legal action was to take out a possessory warrant- against George Clarke, the preridruL Arm* ed with this authority, a bailiff went over to his house aud took charge of the by-laws^ constitution and other books of the organization. Later in the day Clark was arrested on anoth er warrant charging him with cheat ing and swindling. James Howard is entered as pros ecutor, though Jake Vaughn and other leaders are pot down as tbe State's witne 83s. Mr. Arthur Patten, attorney for Clarke, has demanded indictment by the grand jury for his client, and the latter has given bond. The possesso ry warrant case will be heard Mon day. The story gees that a aeries of troubles has caused the split in the ranks. The roost serious is that the president is accused of ^knocking down.” The society numbers 284, each of whom is assessed a small amount each week. Clarke handle* the cash, and they claim that he has misappropriated the funds. Clarke says that jealousy ia at the bottom of it all. Howard, Vaughn aud others want to bold the reioB of power, and to do this they are trying to displace him. He has stricken the names of ail who are against him from tbe rolls, though they do not now recognize his power. The societj seems about equally di vided for and against The women are on the side of the president, and the men against him. The Thomasville Exchange and Banking Company have a large, at tractive and well displayed advertise ment in the Daily Equator Democrat, published at Key West. Fla. They offer large and flattering inducements to cigar and other manufacturers to come to Thomasville. l'hey are ready to furnish lands, factory build ings and financial aid to all who will come. They refer to Col. Wright, president of the Bank of Thomasvire, S. L. Hayes, president of the National Bank of Thomasville, Mr. Reid, vice- president of the Citizens Banking and Trust Company, and McIntyre & McIntyre, attorneys at law. The Thomasville Exchange and Banking Company is a strong corporation, with an abundance of capital, and excep tionally well officered, This company is inaugarating a new era in Thom asville—manufacturing. A charming circle of visitors are sojourning at Mrs. 8. M. Ball's, on Crawford street. The following com pose the party: Mr*. A. W.' Bryant, New Castle, Maine; Mrs. M. P. Mealle, Boston, Mass.; Mrs. A. B. Sturdivant, Chicago, 111 ,* Mrs. Marion Buckby, Chicago, 111.; Miss E. P. Smallwood, Opelika, Ala.; Mr. Nor throp, wife and baby, Walcott, New York. A son of Mr. J. W. Stamper nar rowly escaped being killed by the train from Albany, at a crossing near the river, on Sunday afternoon. He was riding a male and attempted to cross the track though the train was close by. The mule was killed, but the young man saved himself by leaping from the aoimal's'back. It is always better to give a train the right of way. La Cubans presents a busy scene of activity. There are seven gangs at work, four on the street*, two of which are cutting down and two grad ing, one putting up the mill, another getting out cross ties, and still another at the brick yard. Tbe mill will he running to-morrow. It wont he long before the trowel and hammer will also be at work. Died. Dr.J. T. Byron, of Bridgeport, Connecticut, died suddenly yesterday morning at the residence of Mr. Joshua Carroll. The Doctor spent several seasons ia Thomasville. As an occnlist he was a skillful operator, and we venture the assertion that no stranger has ever sojourned among us who made more friends, or was more highly appreciated socially and pro fessionally than he was. Though but twenty-seven years of age, ho had reached *n enviable professional posi tion, and had his life been {[spared a few years longer, his name would doubtless have appeared upon tbe list of distinguished occulists. This was a case where an unassuming de meanor and total absence ot egotism covered a professional ahility which many might envy. Every citizen ot Thomasville regrets his death- The remains will be held here until the arrival of his parents, who are en route. . 0 From a Grateful Heart. Editor Times-Entebfrise: Please allow me spacein your col umns to express to our dear friends in Thomasville the gratitude of myself and my people for the aid given to oar brave struggling little church at Dixie. Nearly every one in your goodly city whom I approached gave me some heip and with willing hearts and hands.
