We noticed a few days since the arrest of several colord persons upon warrants sworn but by Mr. S.L. Horn, brother of the deceased, charging them with the murder. They demand ed a hearing and yesterday morning Judge Alexander convened his court in the superior court room. At io o*clock Sheriff Doss announc ed the court open. Mr. Joe Lunsford occupied the stenographer’s chair while nearly all the local bar, repre sentatives of the press and a Urge crowd of citizens, both white and colored, were present. .The first case called was that cf the State, vs Bully Hagan. When brought into court the judge asked him if he had secured counsel He said he had not, that he did not koow or did not think that he needed any. He sitpply wanted his case disp 'sed of. Messrs. Mitchell & Patten, who represented the State, stated that owing to the very short time that had been given them, (having been employed that morning,) they’ were not ready for trial and asked for a continuance. The judge withheld his decision and called the next case. This was the State vs Merritt Ghs«, Richmond Glass and Abe Glus. Col. W. M. Hammond appeared tor the defense and Messrs. Mitdiell & Patten for the State. The defense was ready but the State asked for further time for the reason stated in the first case. The judge, after listening to the argu ments from both sides, decided to continue the case till Monday at 9 'clock a. m. The next case was. ihe Sta’e vs ohn P.uranur. H -n. A. T. McIntyre, , appeared fir the d:U'H‘, aid an- nounced ready, but a< the attorneys for the State, Mes«r>. Mitchell & Patien, offered the sain; excuse, he consented to a contit umce, and the judge put all ihe cases down for hearing at 9 o’oclock 011 next Mon day morning. CreSy Flower, mother of Bully Ha gan, who was arrested under the same charge, was, by consent of the S ate, scharged. The court not.fled ihe witnesses id all otners interest d in ihis case to be on hand at ihe time stated, 9 o’clock Monday morning. The prisoners w.-re returned to jail and court idjourmd.— Daily T.- E Sept. 23. John Montgomery says that the merchants of Thomasville are display ing “gnattier” windows just now than ever before—that is from sundown till dark. And this reminds us that Thomasville is the “gnattiest” town that we know ol. But she always leads. Messrs. W. E. Davies and R. Thomas returned to town yesterday afternoon alter a days fishing on the Ochlockonee. The fact that they both tell the same story, give the same number of fish caught, looks a little suspicious. However they had a good time and brought back two fine strings of fish. The late financial depression will not prevent the young people from having a good time during the sugar bailing season. The boys and girls won’t care a snap whether gold and silver is on a parity or not. They are going to have a good time, that’s they are going to do. ’Twill be sweetniag long draw out.

Attention Farmers! Since the publication of t he card of ! 3. Farmer/’ in reference to the rav ages of a new worm which has ap peared iu the fodder, we have seen the writer. He informs us that sub? sequent investigations show that the' mere opening and shaking of the fed ler does not suffice. Tbe worms still ontinue their ravages. He ad vises, in addition to the most thor* ough shaking and moviog of the fod< der, that a liberal quantity of salt be applied as the fudder is put ia bulk- agaio. Tbe item of fodder is one of impori&uce to the farmer and it be hooves him to give this matter prompt attention. Admitted to the Bar. Mr. Lee Branch, of Dixie, Ga., and a son of the Presiding Elder of the The masville District, Dr. Branch, was admitted to tho bar this week in open court in Thomasyille, He was examined in common law by Hon, W. M. Hammond, on equity by Col A. T. McIntyre, on Code of Georgia by Mr. Hansell Merrill, on common law by Maj. T. N. Hopkins, on .the constitution aud rules of court by Capt. C. P. Hansell. The examination was most rigid and thorough and he pas<ed it with marked credit to himself, winning the congtatulations of the court and numerous compliments from members of the bar. Words of Commendation, General Clement A. Evans writes Col, Lynes as follows: “I desire to tell you how well your son acquitted himself and how much his speech was applauded at the time and has bee i praised since. He handled his theme very gracefully indeed, and evidently has gifts for public speaking that should be cubit vated. It will give me much pleasure to be of assistance to him, You must write to him and insist on bis calling at my house.” Special to Times-Eitermuik.] Brunswick, Ga., Sept. 22.—There were three new cases of fever develop ed to-day, all of a mild form. Tbe victims were: John R. Mulltn, ex-policeman. Charles Sullivan, pilot. J. C. Faulkeraon, sailor. One case, Mrs. Turner, was dis* charged. There are now nineteen cases un der treatment. Three cases will be discharged to-morrow if no change for the worst occurs. Martial law has been forced upon Brunswick. This is attributable to the inability of council to obtain a quorum, the demoralization of the regular police force, only Chief Beach, Assistant Levjson, two regu lar policemen and a number of volun teers being on duty. Constant slanders and other offenses perpe trated by sensational correspons dents and disreputable people have forced the lew remaining men to arm themselves and regulate robberies, s auders, incendiarism, protect help less women and children and drive out of Brunswick all such classes MikeJ. Eagan, correspondent of the Savannah Evening Press, came under the ban to day. Eagan wired the Press on Tuesday that Brunswick w&3 a pest ho’c on account of its sani tary condition. This was officially proven false, but to day at the joint meeting of the relief committee, health board and a crowd of assem bled citizens a copy of the Press was read in which he stated that “affi Ja - were offered him by people that a certain member of the relief canvass* ing committee was offering to barter food certificates for the virtue of the women of Brunswick” Eagan was in (he meeting by the request of the board who sent for him. It was the first meeting he has ever attended, although the doors have been opened to all correspondents without restric- tion since Thursday. Col. Goodyear then stated to Ea gan that his special was of such a nature as to demand positive action liom the board, and he demanded his authority and the name of the mittceman against whom the charge was made. Eagan, who is a large, heavily built man, hesitatingly and m a trembling voice replied by asking for time to find h<s witnesses. This aroused the people present. Hon. Jacob E. Dart jumped to his feet, and in behalf of the manhood of Bruuswick, the in t^grity of the committee, and the virtue of our women, denounced Eagan in most scathing terms. Such sublime eloquence, fearful denuncia tion and characterization of an “in fernal scoundrel’’ as he dubbed Eagan is seldom heard. Facing Eagan, and addressing his remarks to him and the citizens assembled, he said in sub stance: ‘‘It was strange that one claiming to represent such a reputable paper as the Savannah Press, and who walked the streets of Brunswick, claiming citizenship, and asking to be recognized as a gentleman, should send to an influental paper, like the Savannah Press, a lie so damna ble that it made such au impres sion on the editor as to compel him to head it: “Food For Virtue.” Does this miserable cur know the meaning of the term virtue ? Has he no ties of womanhood that would cause him to stop and pause before such false statements left his lying peer? Was his idea of virtue based upon his association with the wanton women of the town, who feast upon such creatures as he? Is it not an insult to every mother, wife, sister and daughter who is remaining here facing an enemy which spares neither age nor sex, that these pore women, for virtue belongs only to the pure, should be charged with selling thier virtue for food? I voice the sentiment of every horn orable man present when I had back the foul lie in bis cowardly face. He asks until to-morrow to bring his affi davits. Did he not have the proof when he wired these statements ? If he had them then let him give tbe name now. If it was true two days agot it is true now. Why does he hesitate t<> give the name of the Qian who offered food for virtue ? He may bring affidavits before this honorable board, bat they will be the perjured oaths of those as false as himself, his equtb^his associates, who would shame respectability and virtue if brought in contact with them. _ ^ Col. Goodyear also addressed Eagan and the crowd assembled and denounced Eagan in fearful terms. Eagan begged to be given until noon to morrow to produce the name. Tbe feeling to-nfght is intense against Eagan and his ilk. Cool conservative business men are arming themselves to deal with thieyes, murderers, incen diaries and newspaper slanderers. The regulators are orgaoizibg quietly, and to-morrow afternoon will deal with Eagau. Only about 200 able bodied men are left here but they are sworn to protect what is left. The excitement is intense. Eagan is not expected to show up to-morrow. Later: Eagan stated to-night that he would appear at the meeting to morrow, and he has applied to Chief Beach to-night for police protection. Chief Beach says he will be on hand and afford Eigao, or any other citizen, any protection in his poorer. THE COMMITTAL COURT. Hagan and Plummer for Tnal. At 9 o’clock yesterday morning, the time previously set for the hear ing of the evidence in.the cases of the negroes charged with the murder of Randolph Horn, Judge A’exander commanded order and announced the court ready for business. The spacious court room was liter ally filled with the interested and tho curious. The first case called was that of the State vs. Bully, Hagan. Messrs. Mitchell & Patten represented the stale and Messrs. Hammond & Ham mond the defence. The state furnished the sheriff with a long list of witnesses who were called and sworn, and, upon request of the defence, ordered by the court placed under the rule. As these filed out, seven witness s were called for the defence who, upon a like request from the state, were sworn and placed under the rule. The examination of tho witnesses then commenced and consumed con* siderablo time. - At the conclusion of tho evidence Mr. Patten addressed tho c-.urt briefly. The defence sub mitted the case without argument. A r ter reviewing the evidence the court ordered that nagau be held for trial by the Superior Court. The three Glass negroes were next called. The same counsel represented these aud upon motion of the defence and by consent of the state they were all discharged. John Plummer was tho next and last case called. Messrs. Mitchell and Patten represented the state and Messrs McIntyre aud McIntyre the defence. A number of witnesses were examined when tbe case was submitted without argument from either side. The court ordered that he be held for trial by the Superior Court. The other parties. John Wash and Jim Ingram, arrested last Thursday for the same cause, were, by consent of the state discharged yesterday afternoon.—Daily T.-E. Sept. 26. Special to Tixbs-Extsbfsuc. Brunswick, Ga, Sept 25.—There were five new cases to-day, Mrs. Lowenstein and child, wife and moth er-in-law of Wm. Johnson and Callie Mitchell, the last three c dored. Three cases discharged, the chi'd of Mrs. Lorenston, Archie H. Smith and Mrs. C. H Smith. The physicians reported two new cases on Sunday, Mrs. J. R. Mullin and Theda Rhined&rt; one death, John R. Mullin. Nineteen cases under treatment. About fifty cases of malarial fever have been reported. Surgeon Faget stated he feels as sured that there are many mild cases of yellow fever in Brunswick that have not sufficiently developed to diagnose fully, and consequently have been reported malaria; and further that he feels sure there are numbers of people ill with one or: two days fever under present epidemic condi tions that should be classed as yellow fever, but on account of their mild ness families of patients think do not need physicians. Committee appointed by joint board yesterday to examine the character of Eagan’s witnesses prove them to be commonest street prostitutes by reputable white and colored citizens. Te&timonia's to that effect submitted to Savannah Press and United Press with the request that they discharge Eagan. Eagan’s witnesses testified that they signed his affidavits under pressure and without knowing their contents. Times-Advertiser to day created a sensation by editorially denouncing Dr. G. M. Madden, president of the Merchants and Traders bank, and concluding with this paragraph on him: “Believing in neither God nor hu manity, aliened from ever/ scruple of conscience, a man who would pounce u^xm the sick and dying of a commus nity that had condoned his iniquities, is entitled only to the sympathies that an indignant public can award to the man who bas filled the career charged to this defamer.” The board passed resolutions com> meodiog the fair reports of C. W. Deming acd J. R. Thompson, corres pondents. C. W. Deming. That Canning Factory. We are in receipt of a private letter from Mr. E. A. Niabet, of Nisbet, Ate., stating that he expected to visit Thomasville again soon, and, if the people manifest snfficent interest in the matter, that he will go to work to organize a stock company for the pur pose of establishing a cannery. As stated last week, Mr. Nisbet is thoroughly acquainted with all the de tails of putting up and running a canning factory, and is willing to put both his time and money into such an enterprise in Thomasville. This is the first time that so favorable an op- qortunity has been offered our people to start this important industry, and we sincerely hope that when Mr. Nis bet cornea they will give him the necessary * encouragement and aid. His experience in the business is that such factories, when properly fitted np and run, always pay handsome profits. This is a desirable result in any enterprise, but in view of the urgent need that is felt here for a can nery, and of the great benefits that would result therefrom, it would be money well spent if the entire stock were donated. Thomaavil'e alone pays thousands of dollars annually for canned goods. If these were canned here, the money now sent abroad would be kept at home, the item of freight would be saved, the fruits and vegetables that at present go to waste would become profitable, and production in many lines would be greatly increased. These advan tages combined for a sing’e year would, in our opinion, fully pay the total cost of a factory. But remem ber that donations are not asked for. Mr. Nisbet is fully persuaded that he can so operate a factory of $15,000 capital as to pay at least ten per cent. As before stated, and we wou’d em phasize it now, all our people are interested iu this matter—every citi zen of the county would be either directly or indirectly benefited trom the establishment of a canning lactory in Thomasville. We urge our people —merchants, farmers, fruit growers and men of all callings who have the welfare of the county at'heart—to give the subject the thought that its importance demands, and be ready to co operate with Mr. Nisbet when ever he comes. Accepts the Call. On Sabbath morning, before com mencing his sermon, Rev. D. H. Parker announced his acceptance of the call to the pastorate of the Baptist church made the previous Sunday and of which he had been notified by the committee appointed for that purpose. His remarks on the subject were brief but impressive—illustrative of his !o%e for his fi jek and his devotion to the Master’s cautie. His acceptance, while highly gratifying to the church and his personal friends, will be equally welcome news to the community at large. It is putting it mild to say that Mr. Parker is universally popular in Thomasville. Frank C. Bangs is undoubtedly the most popular actor who visits tbe South and will bo particularly re membered iu Thomxsville for his memorable performance of “Jim the Penman,” when the opera house was first opened to the public several years ago. Mr. Bangs is a leading member of the “Alabama” and he has created a ^sensation everywhere as Col. Preston. It is said that in this part Mr, Bangs bas more than du plicated his former success as Jim tbe Penman. The question of public schools is receiving very general thought from the citizens of Thomatville. We have never seen the people more thoroughly interested on an important question than they are on this. AncLyet we have not seen an individual opposed to the measure. We regard such schools as among the certainties iu the near future. ‘I : * The Burglars Again. Some time during Friday night the well known drug house of Messrs. R. L. Hicks & Co., was burglarized. The timbers which secure the iron bars of the cellar ventilator, in the rear of the store, had become rotten and thus permitted the pressing out of ihe irons. In this way an entrance waB effected into the cellar and from thence into the store. Just how much was taken from the store Capt. Hicks is not positive. He had counted $23.70 which was left in the cash drawer. This was taken. He also misses fifty Hernan Cortez cigars which sell at 10 cents, and a few pocket books, ranging in value from $1.50 to $4!5(> each. One of these pocketbooks was a very fine one— alligator skin, and s Iver mountings. On the' inside of the clasp it was marked “Sterling.” A few bottles of perfumery and perhaps some other items, not yet missed, completed the haul. Au attempt was made to force the money drawer by means of a spatula. This spatula, Capt. Hicks says, was secured from a place in the house where no one, not familiar with the sU re, could have possibly found From this fact alone itwonld seem that the burglary was committed by some one who has waited about tbe store and bad become familiar with the whereabouts and condition of things generally. Such burglaries are becoming too frequent in Thom- asvil’e and we hope that this one, by disposing of the stolen goods or other- wise, will be detected. Let every one keep a lookout. Oglethorpe beat Montezuma and will still be the county seat. The election was hotly aud closely con tested. The steamship La Touraine of the French line brought over from Europe one day last week $6,212,000 in gold coin. The season will soon be here when the ubiquitous northern tramp will make his way south. Look out lor him. He is slick and oily. Passengers going to Chicago may, possibly, escape wrecks and train robbers, but they will be held up in the Midway Piaisance. The Senate fatigues the whole country. Stewart continues to talk through his hat while Pcffer orates through his whiskers. It ia thought that if the revolution in Brazil is successful the monarchy well be established again. That would be a long step backwards A Nuisance. Mn. Editor : I wish to iuquire whether if a loose drove of horses cause a runaway ou a public street, the city council is responsible for the damages done. Surely they ought to have an ordi nance prohibiting this Irequent driv ing of loose horaes along our streets, but if they have, it is not enforced. Is it right to expose our people to the great danger, from these drovts, and especially when so many ladies drive daily? There cannot be the excuse that they are driven to water, when water is so abundant If there is no ordinance dj let us hove one, and if there is one let it be enforced. It nothing else can be done please speci fy the hours in which the streets are to be given up to loose horses, and give other citizens the free use of them for a short time, when they can drive around without endangering their property and lives. . Citizen, Of all the fellows lrom town who have been angling on the riyer ibis week, Bob Thomas and Willie Davies stand head on the biggest catch. Jim Linton and Gus Hurst got dbap pointed and couldn’t go. A bigger or more important quess tion than the establishment of a sys tem of public schools has not en gaged the attention of our peop’e. And we are glad that the sentiment is almost unanimous for the system. The little white gnats, which were so numerous for a few evenings last week, have almost entirely disappear' ed. From whence they came and whither gone is as much a mystery as theiy sudden appearance. “Brer” Fox, of \ilanta, got there a the fi^ht lor the Atlanta postoffice.

The city of Perry, Oklahoma, (Cher okee strp,) is six days old, yet it has a bank with $250,000 capital and three daily and five weekly newspapers. Town lo’s are selling by the front foot at the rate of $300 to $1,000 per acre But didn’t Charley Crisp everlast ingly lay it on to Tom Reed and his gang when getting the bill to repeal the federal elec ion laws before the house. Mr. Reed and his followers know what monkeying with a buzz saw means now. The new census of Brunswick up to Saturday night showed: White males 600; colured males, 1,670; white fe males, 570; colored females, 2,428— total population, 5,628; immuces 235; sick from yellow fever and other causes, 40. We believe that more enquiries have been made np to date for fur nished houses than any year since Thomasville became a resort. This argues favorably for the coming sea son. The Quitman Free Press says: “One of Thomasville’s most promi nent business men will wed a lady of Grooverville, in this cojinty, early in October.” O, hoi Att attempt was made night before last .to rob a Kansas and St. Joseph train. The officials of the road had been notified and were ready for the robbers. Two of the gang were killed and three captured. This will probably put a slight damper on the profession.
