THE ASSISTANT ^POSTMASTER OF
AMERICUS MISSING.
waa yesterday honored by a call
from Hon. Horace Cannon, one of
the-wool democrats ofRabun. Ma
jor Cannon was born in Franklin
county, Ga., but has been living in
Rabun since a child. He and his
ood lady have raised fifteen chil-
een, giving them good educations,
and they are doing well in the
world. His mountain home, sur
rounded by beautiful and fertile
valleys and lofty peaks of the Blue
Ridge range, has always been a
welcome home tor the wayfarer,
and no one, with or without money,
was ever turned lrom his hospita
ble doors. Major Cannon is known
from one end of Georgia to the oth
er, and no mran has more or warm
er friends. He has been the back
bone ot organized democracy in
his section, and exerts a great in
fluence in shaping politics. This
gentleman is still a staunch friend
to Col. Candler, and says he should
and will retain the office so long as
he wants it; that Col. Candler
took up the gauntlet thrown down
oy Emory Speer when no one else
would touch it, and the organized
democracy owed him a lasting debt
ol gratitude. Major Cannon is
deeply interested in an extension
of the Nbrth-Eastern railroad to
Clayton, and says the project has
been the dream of his life. He tells
us that thousands of bushels of fine
apples are now rotting on the
all manner of mountain produce for

Rabun, while a mountainous coun

Americus, Ga., October 4.—
Quite a sensation was produced
upon our streets to-day by the an
nouncement that W. R. Jackson,
assistant postmaster, had absconded.
Your correspondent, upon hearing
the report, at ome went to the post-
office and obtair'd the facts in fhe
case fro n J. C. Mathews, who has
charge of the office in the absence
of Po»'master Black.
For some time Mr. Jackson’s per
sonal habits have prevented, at times
the faithful performance of his offi
cial duties. Last Thursday Major
Black discharged him. He took no
offense, and was to make up the
night mail as his last official act.
The next day Mr. Mathews found
in the office a postoffice order on
Mobile for one hundred dollars,
properly filled out, with Major
Black’s aame signed, all in Jackson’s
handwriting. This led to an inves
tigation. It was found that fifty
ordees hud been torn from the back
of the order book, and fifty postal
notes were also missing. Further
investigation showed that Mr. Jack-
son was uot in the city. Major
Black at once began to use the
wires to forestall the payment of
the fiaudulent orders, and also to se
cure Jaekson’s arrest. Up to
twelve o’clock to day he had not
been apprehended, but it had been
learned that his brother, James
Jackson, had collected two hundred
lollars in Troy, Ala., and letters of
advice had been received in Mobile
to pay three hundred dollars to Wiil
A. Jackson, who had not yet called
for the money. Major Black has
tone to day to secure the arrest of
Jackson’s brothel.
VV. R. Jackson was raised in this
citv, is Well connected and though
-onu'wnar diss-pated at times, h
heretofore borne an irrepioachable
character for honesty.

Wales Wynton’s buzzard, that he
ibfiUed over a year ago, was seen
last Saturday by Mr. Mark Barber,
living about six miles from Athens,
in Madison county. Mr. Barber
was pickmg cotton.and heard the
tinkling'of a bell close to him, and
looking up saw the buzzard with
the bell and collar around its neck.
This is certainly the buzzard turned

the belled buzzard in upper Clarke.
Some negroes were out in the
woods playing “old sledge,” or as it
is more conmonly called seven-up.
The buzz-rd sailed over, and the
negroes thought it was a ghost, and
left their game unfinished and made
track for other parts.

FEARFUL ACCIDENT.
Three Children Burned with a Souse in
Elberton.
Sunday about noon an outhouse
in Elberton was burned to ashes,
with three small colored children,
who were locked in the building.
The mother, who is familiarly
known in Elberton as “Big Harriet,”
was cooking dinner for a white
family in town, and with the pre
caution for which the race is pro
verbial, rolled the baby in the bed
clothes and left the other two in the
room with it. and securely locking
the door, went to her duty as cook.
When the fire was discovered the
two older children were burned to a
crisp, and the baby’s head, feet and
arms were burned off. It was lift
ed from the flames by a man with a
shovel, the house being about con-
umed when the fire was discov

Boston. Mass., Oct. 4.—For
more than twenty-five years Wil
Siam Metriam lived the life of a her
mit within the city limits of Boston
A quarter of a century ago he built
a little hut in the West Roxbury
district of the city, within a stone’s
throw of the Boylston station, on
the Providence railroad, and since
then had lived there alone, seldom
going out and never admitting any
one except when forced to. On
F riday the old man died and his
body was taken in charge by a
brother, who resides in a neighbor
ing town.
The hermit’s hut, when visited
yesterday, presented a strange and
interesting appearance. It is sur
rounded by a high board fence, dis
tant, perhaps, ten feet from the hut,
the dimensions of the latter being
about eighteen by twenty-five feet.
It is built in Southern style, with a
chimney on the outside. An in
spection of the , interior showed
some curious features. It may be
best described as a hut within a hut,
the inner one having been the her
mit’s sleeping apartment. The lat
ter is about ten by six feet, and con
tains a small cot bed, an old writing
desk and a single chair. Ob the
wall was a small looking-glass, and
on one side is a little window look
ing out into the enclosure, the other
three sides being surrounded by
passageways perhaps five feet in
width.
In the passage at the front ot the
house are a small stove and an old
wooden table. In the back part of
the building under the same roof
lived the hermit’s only companions,
some fifty or more hens, and scat
tered around the diiv'y lighted pas
sageways were numerous old farm
ing utensils. The fowls evidently
stood high in their owner’s estima
tion, numerous little openings be
ing scattered around the door. Mer-
tiam is known to have been an early
ri. er and very temperate, though a
piece of tobacco and a pipe found
in the hut show that he occasionally
solaced himself with a smoke.
So retiring was he tha men who
have lived within a few yards of
him for years have never spoken to
him. It is supposed that he left
quite a fortune, for years ago he
disposed of property which yielded
many thousands of dollars. An old
love aflair, tradition says, was the
cause of his retirement from the so
ciety of his fellow men.

to lay before our adders.
Cotton is not inju: ed as badly by
the wet spell as was rt once thought.
While some bolls have withered in
low places, there is not an average
of one sprouted lock to fifty acres.
One farmer that we met contended
that the rain benefited the crop,
as it caused the bolls to fill out that
were dwarfed by the dry weather.
Mr. S. H. Stokely, a splendid judge
of crops, says he thinks the county
will make as nvjch cotton, on an
average as last ye. r —that while in
some neighborhoods it is cut short,
the discrepency is made up in oth
ers. All acknowledge the finest
corn and hay crop in years. As a
planter put it, “peas have been a
lallucination and a snare”—at one
time it looked as if a world of field
peas would be made, but the dry
weather withered up the vines in a
week, and this crop is almo-t a to
tal failure.
There is more politics down in

men make some serious mistake.
The few prominent opponents tn
prohibition will not exert them
selves unless aroused by insinua

and in this event they will develop
into a strong opposition. The more

A Rumor That He Has Finally ftfnpaaftM

slyly remarked a welt-known New
Yorker to-day, ‘The P.csident met
an acquaintance, a you ig widow,
whom the gossips have not yet
named, but who is undoubtedly
nearer his heart than any of the
misses who have been mentioned as
his fiances.” The meeting was ar
ranged by Dr. Ward, who holds
himself responsible for the] whole
business.
This widow is about thirty, is
given to emponpqint, and will tip
the scales at about 165 pounds.
She has no children, and enjoys a
comfortable income from a snug
little property inherited from her
mother. She was in Washington
last May and saw the president
twice without attracting any atten
tion. There is no doubt that the
President and the widow are much
interested in each other, but the
President is a little shy about telling
sister Rose, don’t you see!
The widow .belongs to an excel
lent New York family, but Miss
Rose may or may not approve ot
having the acquaintance continue.
The President told an intimate
friend confidentially the other even
ing that he never felt the need of a
wile so much as since coming to
Washington. The President and
Miss Rose are’ totally unlike in
their thoughts and actions, and the
latter is wholly absorbed in her lit
erary labors.
The ladies o f Washington would
rejoice to see the President wed -
ded to a good wife, but perhaps
two or three belles who have set
their caps for the President would
be sorely disappointed.
“What a grand wedding we will
have,” exclaimed one of the at
taches of the White House, “if this
rumor proves true!”
The President, by two moves, has
become entirely separated from all
of his old bachelor companions, and
has no chance for the delights of
club life, as in the old Buffalo days.
All his chums of yore are hundreds
of miles away, and is it any wonder
that the President keenly real
izes the utter loneliness of his
life? Since the 4th of March
the hurly-burly of official life
has kept his mind fairly oc
cupied, but it is quieter now,
and homesickness can reach

We were surprised to see the
strong following that Scab Reese
still retains in Oglethorpe, and if he
loses the county it will be by a
mighty effort. Several influential
men who supported Black are now
for Reese. The charges insinuated
against Scab., iusteod of weakening
him are arousing his friends to ac
tion. Oglethorpe county should
belong to Col. Mattox, and perhaps
fie wil! carry it if hecan keep in
check his friends and make the
race on square.issues. Seab. Reese
is a high-minded gentleman, a true
democrat and a-staunch friend, and
the only ground for opposing him
is that he has held the office long
enough, and it is right that other
sections be given a showing. If
Mr. Reese is defeated, no man that
ever represented Georgia in con
gress will retire with a more spot
less record.
There is a great deal of indigna
tion in the county against that new
$20,coo court-house, and the tax
payers are gnashing their teeth and
making all kinds of threats. It is
estimated that the cost, including
interest, will be $20 on every $1,000
worth of property, and the people
say the county is not in a condition
to bear the burthen; that tor about
$7,000 the old court-house could
have been remodeled and enlarged,
and it would have answered every
purpose for years to come. The

On Wednesday morning last there
was considerable excitement among
our citizens, caused by the an
nouncement that the corn cribs on
the place of Mrs. Cinderella Gay, a
widow lady residing about four
mi'es from town, had been fired by
an incendiary and, together with
their contents, burned to the ground.
The report was true and suspicion
rested upon a white man named
Jack Graham. It seems that in the
spring time of tnis year, a white
man, Jack Graham by name, came
to this county from Pulaski county.
He rented a place belon -rinu to Mrs.
Gay, for the use of which he was to
pay her two bales of cotton. Mat
ters went along smoothly enough
until the time forgathering the crop,
when |Mts. Gay discovered that
Graham was hauling away the cot
ton and showed no disposition to
pay the rent. Accordingly she had
a distress warrant sued out and lev
ied upon a bale of cotton which
Graham had sold to Mr. J. T. Rog
ers at Raedy Springs. This proced
ure did not meet with Graham’s ap
proval, and on the evening of the
29th of September he went to the
house of Mr. Gay and abused her
severely, us' ig rough language. He
told hrr that she had “got the
wrong sow by the ear,” and “d—n
her he would fix her.” Leaving
the yard, he shot the dog and went
in the direction of the cribs. In a
short while- thereafter, a bright
light shot up, and before the neigh
bors could r rch the buildings they
are pa..t saving. Graham was in
town on the afternoon of the 20th,
and, it is said, made threats while
here which go still further towards
connecting him with the crime.
He was arrested and placed under
bonds of $1,000 to await action of
thp grand jury,
Mrs. Gay, as we have before
said, is a poor widow lady (her hus

“Oh, don’t, please don’t, doctor.
I’m tired of this life and want to
die,” said Fannie Sailors last, night,
as Doctors Howell and Willis West
moreland, Jr., began trying to pump
liie into an almost lifeless body.
Fannie Sailors lived over the Fifth
ward bar on Marietta street, and
there she died last night by her own
hand.
Yesterday afternooii about three
o’clock two young men called to
see the woman, and after they
HAD GONE TO THEIR ROOM
some drinks were ordered from the
bar below. While the boy was gone
for the drinks the woman left the
room and asked the landlady to join
them, but she declined.- The wo
man then went back to her room
and complained to the men that she
did not have a friend in the world,
and said that she was tired of living.
Soon after this the drinks arrived,
and when they had been swallowed
the two men left. About an hour
after the men left the woman threw
a shawl over her head and started
down the stairway. . As she went
down she met another inmate of the
house, to whom she said:
“I am going to buy something that
will end this life.”
She then went to a drug store
near by and purchased a quarter’s
worth of opium, telling the druggist
that she was addicted to the use of
the drug. Immediately after leav
ing the drug store she swallowed
about half of the lump of opium,
and as she started up the stairway
she broke off another piece, and
putting it into her mouth began to
chew the bitter stuff. At the head
of the stairway she was

who bad been told what the woman
said as she went out. But when
asked if she had bought poison, she
answered:
“Of course not, I have no use for
poison,”
The woman was then chewing
the piece of opium she had put in
her mouth as she started up the
stairway, but no one had any idea
that she had the deadly, seductive
drug between her teeth and she was
permitted to go to her room. As
she entered the door she looked
bock at the women who were stand
ing in the hallway watching her,
and drawing her hand from her
pocket placed it to’her mouth. She
then picked up a

the women again and laughed
She entered the room and closed
the door,
About a half hour later some one
entered the room and found the wo
man on the bed asleep. An at
tempt to wane her was unsuccess
ful, and*then the alarm was given.

Sherman, Tex., October 3.—
-a 11:. ... ,r...
There is great excitement in
Longacre township, Beaufort coun
ty, in regard to an alarming natural
phehomenon which is rapidly de
veloping itself. On the night of
September iS shocks of great vio
lence were felt in that city. The
scene of the disturbances is in the
vicinity of Shiloh church. A reli
able colored man who lives near by
and who was awake on the night
above mentioned, says he felt the
trembling of the earth very percep
tibly, and on the following morn
ing it was discovered that a myste
rious chasm had made its appear
ance directly across the public road
near the church, measuring a foot in
width aid 100yards in length. The
surroundings se«--ned to oe in an
unsettled condition. In a short
time it was observed that the
chasm was gradually widening and
extending its course, showing that
some unusual convulsion? of nature
was in progress. As there was no
further violent agitation at that time,
the affair remained little known.
The so-called rent or chasm is
now again assuming very *serious
proportions, and is continually
widening and lengthening, and ac
tivity threatening the surrounding
section. It has deviated from its
former course, which was an eas
terly to northerly direction, crossing
a small embankment and running
in a zigzag line about fifty yards
from tlie church. Several attempts
have been made to obtain an idea of
its depth, but they bave been unsuc
cessful, owing to the shape in which
it runs. There are various conjec
tures as.to the origin of such an unu
sual state of things. Some attribute
it to an upheaval of the earth caused

New York, Oct. 5.—Hundreds
of bicyclists and 2,000 other persons
; fathered in the Roseville rink, in
Newark last night, to witness the
perlormance of a steam bicycle in-
vented and exhibited by .L. D.
Copeland, of Arizona. The bicycle
was of the Star pattern, with a
small wheel in front, and attached to
the front bat was a vertical brass
boiler heated with gasoline. A
dainty engine was mounted on the
bar above the boiler, and had a
stroke of 3 inches, with a cylinder
1 1-16 inches in diameter. Below
the engine was a spherical boiler
holding a quart of water, and above
it a] cylinder holding as much gaso
line. A round belt communicated the
power of the engine to a thirty
inch wheel attached to the wheel
of the bicycle. The engine made
1S0 revolutions of the Q inch crank
in a minute, and nine of these revo
lutions turned the large wheel once.
A little steam gauge showed sixty
pounds pressure a few minutes
after . fire had been started, and,

rink for twenty minutes. The
