Pea Sanders, one of the most

these words are true: ‘ They feel languid

with tlie children, fretted over liltle
things, a burden to themselves, and yet
with no acute disease.” What a pity ins.
But a few bottles of Parker’s Tonic will

A RAKE CASE.
It will be remembered that about
a week ago Mrs. Dora Bailey, wife
of Mr. John Bailey, died at her
home, in Augusta, and was
brought to this city for burial. Her
two little children were lefr with
friends in the former city while the
lather accompanied ihe remains
here. Their little boy. oniv two
yeais old, becoming cognizant ot
the fact that its mother was dead,
and that it coil'd never set her
cheerful, smiling face again, at one;
refused to eat, and began slowly to
droop and fade, and a day or two
ago its little spirit was guided bv
angels into the arms of its sainted
mother in the beautiful land beyond
this vale of tears and grief. It is in
deed strange that use so tender in
years should beo'ercast by such a
cloud ot gloom as to actually grieve
its life away, even for one so near
and dear as a mother. We extend
our sympathies to the bereaved fa
ther in his double loss.

printer named McDonald has
been arrested and lodged in jail
as accessory. Sam Jemison and
Ed. Strohecker had a difficulty
the night before the killing, and
but for the interference of friends
the difficulty would have been se
rious at the time.
An examination showed that
Mr. Jemison had received two
wounds in the right side, low down
near the waist, the most dangerous
of which is through the lower lobe
of the right lung, which will prob
ably prove fatal.
Mr. Strohecker seems to have
received three wouuds, but accord
ing to the recollection ot the eye
witnesses, Mr, Jemison fired only
two shots. One of the halls en
tered his right side; another
struck his pistol pocket, where it
lodged in a small book ; the third
shot struck him in the left hip, and
glancing went through the glass
door and down the steps into the
street,
After the physicians examined
Mr. Jemison’s wound he was re
moved to a bed in Mr. Benner's
private room, where he now is.

reached the sidewalk he met his
brother and McDonald. They
were at the foot of the stairs lead
ing into the saloou above and were
engaged in conversation. As
Henry Strohecf er passed out he
heard McDonald say:
“He is up stairs. Go up aud
do your work.”
Others also saw McDonald and
Stiohecker together. After the
shooting McDonald entered the
Telegraph and Messeuger offlee,
where he sametimes worked as a
substitute, aud stated that he had
killed a man or that he had had
something to do with the killing.
The printers in the office seeing
that he was under the influence of
whisky paid 110 attention to him.
After a few minutes lie left the
composing room. Owing to the
circumstances of his connection
with the killing it was decided to
arrest, but upon being locked up
in the city prison he denied all
connection with or knowledge of
the affair. Mr. Jemison has been
spitting blood, aud little hopes are
entertained of his recovery.

Mayor, and the Great Eastern
road commissioner stood in the
rear of my young friend, the little
giant; hut as your humble corres

he fired the first gun. Next fol

Georgia. The firing was very
rapid up to about 12 o’clock m.,
and up to that time they felt certain
of victory, but from that time till
the polls closed I think we worsted
them, for I saw that the Great
Eastern smoke stack poured forth
volumes ot smoke from his meet - -,
shaurn pipe, and he seemed to he
growing smaller degrees and
hcautitully less, while Wood's
ponderous joles showed evidence
of grief by their sunken appear
ance ; and my young friend, the
Knight, with blaek and tan goatc,
shrank up till his chin resembled
the snout of a wcazel. In fact,

colored and all, began to look
crestfallen, and when the final re

my friends Tinnie Rucker and M.

is doubtful if they were ever on
the winning side. Well, after we
counted out and I got on the
streets, 1 could not stick to the
ground, but started to the council
chamber, met my old brother
Benson, tried to shake his arm off,
and at Bishop’s corner met my
friend McGinty, shook his hand
up to the elbow, hugged him, then
went to our future mayor, shook
him to pieces, and went ou my
way rejoicing. Went home and
told my better half of the result—
proposed to send for Uncle Calvin
Johnson and get married over

Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 2.—The
Knights of Labor are beginning to
create trouble in Georgia. Hitherto
Union workmen and Knights of
Labor have given but little trouble
here, the native veterans and me
chanics preferring their individual
independence. During the past
summer, however, the Knights of
Labor have been organizing in the
several cities of the state. The elec -
’ion which took place to-day in the
city of Athens was highly embitter
ed by the interference of the
Knights, who had boycotted the
Bloomfield Cotton Factory. In
Atlanta they have gained great
headway, and have under consider
ation the boycott of several large
institutions, one of which is the
Constitution, which is a “rat” office.
The leading manufacturing estab
lishments have taken the alarm, and
for the past two days have been
quietly discharging hands under
various plausible pleas.
To-day it has been developed
that all the laborers discharged
were Knights, and that their dis
charge was the result of a crusade
against their order. This discovery
has naturally created much excitc-
menj among the Knights, and a
lively state of affairs is anticipated in
a day or two unless the discharged
men are re-employed. There are
seven lodges of Knights in the city,
a membership of 600, besides the
cvlored organizations.

the ’’ELECTRIC WONDER” MARRIED.
Jacksonville, Fla., Dec. 3.—
Miss Mattie Lee Price, the famous
“electric wonder” of Georgia, was
married ot Madison, in this state, to
Mr. Wise, a traveling salesman,
representing a Savannah house.
The bride is sixteen years old. and
gave an exhibition of her strange
powers Ssturday night to a large
audience in Madison. There was
difficulty on account of the opposi
tion of her father to the proposed
match, but Mattie was determined
to marry Mr. Wise, and said if she
did not marry him she would not
f ulfill any more engagements. A
compromise was finally effected
and the couple were married by a
justice of the peace. Mrs. Wise
will continue her engagements a*
far as Tallahassee, where she will
retire. She is a pretty, modest and
unassuming young lady, and the
groom is spoken of as a gentleman
in every way, and quite well ofl.
The night porter at the work

dozes in bis chair at the lodge gate,
but is seldom undisturbed for halt

sleep he has had in seven years was
one stretch of three hours. After
concluding his night watch at the

porter at the work-house and does
this double task for months together
without relief or change.

A SEANCE BROKEN UP.
A Daring Yonng Kan Wrestled Wltb the
Spirit, and It Proved to be tbe Medium.
Strawberry Point, la., Nov
30.—C. E Wyman, the spiritualist
ic medium, has been holding se
ances at the residence ot W. B
Field for two weeks past, the at
tendance being large each evening.
The medium did not forget to col
lect a dollar from each person pres
ent. Quite a number of citizens
have been worked up to a high
pitch, several being on the verge of
insanity over the adroit manner in
which he brought up the so called
spirits of their departed friends.
Several skeptical young men at
tended the seance on Saturday eve
ning last with the determination of
exposing what they considered a
palpable fraud. Accordingly, one of
them managed to secure a >eatnear
the cabinet from which the spirits
materialized. The clothing of the
medium was sewed securely to a
chair in the cabinet, the circle form
ed and the lights turned down.
Soon the spirit of the father of one
of the company was materialized
and reached out to shake hands
withs his son, whereupon the young
man nearthe cabinet grappled with
the messenger from the other
world and threw him to
the floor. The believer’s
immediately hurled themselves upon
the young man, and the skeptic’s
friends then took a hand in the af
fair, and for awhile pandemonium
reigned, with the spirit believers
and unbelievers rolling on the floor
of the dimly lighted room.
The lights were at length turned
up, and then, to the amazement of
the believing circle, the materialized
spirit proved to be the medium in
exceedingly airy attire, while the
clothing out of which he had slip
ped remained fast to the chair. The
Spiritualists manifested great in
dignation, and tar and feathers were
strongly talked of for a time, but
cooler judgment prevailed, and a
warrant was sworn out for Wy
man’s arrest tor obtaining money
under false pretenses. A hearing
was had before Justice Baird, and
Wyman, in default of bail, was held
to await the action of the grand
jury. Wyman is one of the most
noted mediums in the West, and
was the chief medium at the recent
State Spiritualist camp meeting in
Clinton. He came to this place
from Evanston and Chicago, where
he held successful seances.
WHAT WHITEHEAD SAYS.
Tbe Story of tbe Slayer of George Harde
man at Told by tbe Man Who Killed Him
In Oconee County Lost summer.
August* Hew*.
On yesterday a reporter of the
Evening News called at the jail to
*ee the man who was brought to
the city last Saturday evening by
Sheriff Overby, of Oconee county.
The turnkey politely invited the
reporter up to the cell ot Eldridge
Crawford Whitehead. He then
informed Whitehead tor what pur-
pose the reporter had called, and
notified him not to state anything
that he did not desire published, or
that would in the least tend to crim
inate him.
The reporter asked the prisoner
if he killed a man in Oconee coun
ty last July, and for what reason.
Whitehead answered: “I did kill
George Hardeman, a man about 35
yeers old, and married. The cause
ot the killing was simply that he
and I were running the same farm
and we could not agree. On the
14th day of July, 1SS5 Hardeman
rode up in the field where I was
working and used harr.h words to
wards me. He was accompanied
by his wife. At his side was a pis
tol and he kept his hands on it and
made threats to kill me. I picked
up my little babv and started up
the road to my house, a short dis
tance away, Hardeman ordered
me to stop and put my little baby
down on the ground, but I refused
to obey him. He followed me up
to my house, and when I managed
to get into the cottage and load my
gun. Hardeman was on the out
side abusing my wife. I could not
stand it and told him fo retreat, but
he refused and then commenced
abusing me. and was about to pull
his pistol out and let him have the
contents.”
“What did you do after yau had
killed Hardeman?”
“Well, I am an ignorant man and
I cannot read or write, but my
brother advised me to go to the
mountains ot North Georgia, and
to remain untii he wrote me what
the feeling of the general public
was. I wanted to go to Watkins
ville, the county seat, and surrender
mysell, but my brother, being edu
cated and knowing the law better
than I, I took his advice and went
to the mountains, where I remain
ed until the 24th of July, when
Sheriff Overby came to the moun
tains, aud 1 then surrendered. I
remained in the county jail of Oco
nee until Friday night, when Sher
iff Overby came to my cell and es
cortetl me to the depot and brought
me to Augusta for safe keeping. I
have not been informed whether
the people wanted to lynch me Fri
day night or give me libeity.”
"Were you sober when you killed
Hardeman ?”
“I was perfectly sober. Harde
man was known throughout the
county as a bully and was always a
domineering fellow.”
“How old are you?”
“I was twenty-three years old the
first day of last September, and I
have a wife and one child.”
Have you engaged any attorneys
to represent you at your trial?”
Yes. I have employed Mr.
Tuck, of Athens, and General Gar-
trell to represent me. My case will
be heard on the fourth Monday of
next January.”
AMONG HIS NEIGHBORS.
AN UNCERTAIN FATE.
Alex. Ethridge, th* Notorious Thief, Has a
Midnight Cell.
Spakta, Not, 26.—A party of
about twenty-five well armed men
surrounded the house ot Sheriff
Stewart at 12 o’clock last night
tnd compelled him to go with them
to the jail and to deliver to them
the notorious burglar, Alex, Eth
ridge, alias Ike Watson, who was
receutly recaptured in Baldwin
county. It will be remembered
that this man committed a number
of bold burglaries about Linton,
in this county, more thau a year
ago. During a Baptist convention
near that place, he entered the
house of Mr. Ivey W. Dnggan,
and stole among other valuables,
three gold watches. After this
performance he was captured iu
Macon for some similar deed, but
in the trial he feigned lunacy so
successfully that the jury sent him
to the asylum. From that institu
tion he escaped in a short time,
aud was captured recently and
turned over to the authorities here.
An effort was made to have him
brought to trial here, but Judge
Lumpkiu ordered the sheriff to
urn him over fo the officers from
Bibb county to be tried again
there. The fear that Ethridge
would again succeed in his lunacy
scheme aud thus evade punish
ment and carry on his burglarizing
seems to have prompted this bold
action by the men who took him
from jail. Ne news has yet reach
ed us us to the fate of Ethridge.

Mr. Hendricks' Last Public Appearance
Before His Home Friends.
Indianapolis Journal (Rep)
The sudden death of Vice-Presi
dent Hendricks yesterday afternoon
will call vividly to the minds of
many his appearance on the pre
ceding evening at the grand recep
tion given at the residence of State
Treasurer Cooper.
While the gathering possessed no
political significance whatever from
the very nature of things, it contain
ed many of the prominent demo
crats of the state, and was a very
brilliant occasion. It was at a late
hour when the Vice-President and
his wife appeared upon the scene.
After expressing the courtesies of
the evening, Mr. Hendricks paused
for some moments on the threshold
of the spacious reception rooms,
and contemplated the scene with a
smile of unconcealed pleasure. A
slight pallor was noticeable upon
his countenance, yet he never look
ed or seemed in better spirits, and
expressed himselt as being in excel
lent health. As he stood there with
that polished grace and suavity of
manner so characteristic of his na
ture, he presented a magnificent
appearance, and never seemed
grander or in fuller possession ot
all his powers. There stood before
him many a true, tried friend,
whose hand-grasp was more elo
quent than words. Here and there
passed many a frosted head of both
patties, touched by time and the
strain of many an anxious cam
paign. There were also present
several of the younger politicians,
who were wont to seek his counsel,
and who always met with a kind
and encouraging reception. The
general eagerness of the throng to
gain his presence was specially no
ticeable, and a long interval of
hand-shaking followed. He has
been received with enthusiasm and
distinction wherever he has gone,
but the home hearts—the hearts
that touched the tenderest cord—
how they crowded about him! It
was his last meeling of lriends on
earth, his last.farewell to them all;
and now it would seem some wise
Providence had drawn them to
gether just once more to receive the
strong magnetic cheer ot this dis
tinguished leader, and hisneighbors
and friends, regardless of political
faith, who were present on that oc
casion, will have a pleasant remem
brance ol the last time when he ap
peared in their social midst.
Mr. Hendricks, in conversation at
the reception, was addressed by
some one present with the remark
that he looked so fresh and youthful
that he must have discovered the
fabled fountain of perpetual youth.
No,” replied the Vice President
pleasantly, smiling in acknowledge
ment of the compliment. “I have
not discovered the legendary foun
tain, but I am reminded of a little
incident. I was engaged in trying
a case in Ohio, when a very young
man, before a judge whose years,
though nearly fourscore, rested
lightly upon him, and his youthful
appearance was most remarkable. I
spoke to him during the trial of my
-case concerning the disparity in his
age and appearance, and asked him
how he had managed to preserve
his youthful vigor to such a remark
able degree. ‘By not allowing my
self to look-at things through old
eyes,’ said he. ‘I have endeavored
to retain the enthusiasm of younger
days in everything I have undertak
en, and have retained my youth
simply because I have never per
mitted myself to consider myself
old.’ So it has been with me. I
have retained the enthusi-jra of my
younger days, and to this 1 attribute
the appearance on which you com
pliment me.”
DEMOCRATIC VIRGINIA.
The newly elected democratic
legislature meets on Wednesday,
After organization by the election
ol a speaker of the house and offi
cials of hoth both bodies the first
important business to come betore
it will he the election of a United
States senator to succeed General
Mahone. This would seemingly be
an easy matter, as the democrats
have a large majority on joint bal
lot.* The actual figures are: In the
senate, 29 democrats, rorepubli-
caasand 1 straight out republican
—General Wickham; in the House
of Delegates, 70 democrats and 30
tepublicana, which gives the dem
ocrats 59 majority on joint ballot in
dependent of General Wickham,
who will probably vote for the
democratic nominee. Under these
circumstances it is clear that a dem
ocratic senator will be returned to
take Mahone’s seat in 18S7. It is
not even known now that the re
publicans will put forward a candi
date. If they do so it will be to
give Mahone the empty compli
ment ot the party’s vote.
DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES.
The aspirants on the democratic
side for the distinguished position
are not so numerous as might be
imagined. In fact, the mother of
states and statesmen is not encum
bered just now with an abundance
of senatorial timber from which to
select. The two most prominent
candidates for the nomination are
Congressman Tohn R. Barbour, of
the Eighth district, who is also
chairman of the democratic state
committee, and John W. Daniel,
who was elected in 1S84 to repre
sent the Sixth district. In addi
tion to these the names ot Judge
Walter R. Staples, ex-Judge of the
court of appeals; Congressman J.
Randolph Tucker, of the tenth dis
trict, and the Rev. Jabez S. M.
Curry, now Minister to Spain, are
also mentioned. The contest, as it
now stands, is between Barbour
and Daniel. Barbour has the pres
tige of leading the party to victory
in the latest campaigns, which re
sulted in the complete overthrow of
Mahone and the republican party
in Virginia. He has the machinery
and also, it is said, the sinews of
war. Daniel, however, is the most
popular leader in the state, who
contributed largely by a series of
eloquent speeches and a most bril
liant canvass to the democratic tri
umphs of 1SS3 and 1885. He is the
candidate of the young democrats.
Barbour is a former Tailroad presi
dent and is supposed to have the
support of outside moneyed corpor
ations.
BEFORE THE CAUCUS.
The democratic caucus will be
composed of ninety-nine members,
fifty of whom it wtll take to name
the nominee. If the contest, as it
now seems, between Barbour and
Daniel is very close, Judgej Staples,
who will have a strong backing,
would be a good compromise man,
who would do infinite credit to the
position. He is a man of splendid
ability, a rare orator, and last fall
made an excellent canvass in the
southwest. Congressman Tucker
will get a large complimentary vote
in the caucus. He is the leading
democratic statesman in Virginia,
who, as a tariff reformer, would, if
elected senator, be thoroughly in
accord with the policy of the na
tional party and the present admin
istration. Mr. Curry has many ad
mirers as a statesman, but will hard
ly put in nomination unless the
fight becomes fasti and furious be
tween the others. It is claimed to
night that Congressman Daniel, in
a count of noses, has a majority of
the caucus pledged to him.—Rich

NEGRO MINERS PENNED.
Serloai Flzhtln* at Macon, Mo.—Four Men
Killed.
St. Louis, Dec. 1.—For some
time past there has beep quite a dis
turbed condition of things at the
Brevier coal mines, five miles from
Macon, Mo. The miners struck
for higher pay during the summer,
and the operators imported a lot of
negroes to work and built a stock
ade for their protection. This cre
ated bad feeling, and several little
outbursts occurred. On last Satur
day a collision occurred and one
white man and a negro were killed.
One man was killed last night and
the situation is considered so crit
ical thal to-day Governor Marma-
duke went to the scene, and after
looking over the ground ordered
out a regiment of State Guards, of
this city, and about 400 men left on
a special train this morning for the
mines to preserve order and protect
the miners.
St. Louts, Dec. 1.—A special to
the Post-Dispatch from Macon,
Mo., says: There was firing of
pistols and guns between the black
and white miners at the Brevier
coal mines all last night, but with
out serious injury to anybody. So
far as can be learned four men have
been killed since Saturday last,
three negroes and one white man,
besides several waunded. There
is no abatement of feeling and there
is constant liability of bloodshed.
The county authorities have done
nothing toward suppressing the
riotous proceedings. No military
have arrived. The women and chil
dren are being sent away from Bre
vier. Trouble is feared to-night.
A meeting of the citizens of Macon
was held this afternoon to take
stant measures to restore order.

church, Atlanta, Friday night:
There was a married couple with
half a dozen children and only one
bed. The whole family slept on
that bed—and were so thick that
one couldn’t turn over unless all
did. So when any one got tired
sleeping on one side he’d say
“turn”—and over the whole family
went. They got so used to it that
even ^ when they heard the word
“turn” in their sleep they would
hustle over. Oae day the old man
was fishing on a log bridge over the
river. The sun was hot and the
fish wan’t biting, and he fell asleep
balanced on the log. One of the
boys saw him and thought he
would try a joke, and he hollowed
out, “Turn:” Over the old man
went kerflop into the water. Now
I want the temperance men to hol
low ‘turn’ until the anti-men who are
asleep on the bridge over the pro
hibition river will hear it and drop
in.
In closing his sermon Mr. Jones
said: “It is getting late, ana this
church is rather too cold for a pro
hibition meeting.
' Conyers will build a cotton seed
oil mill. $10,000 has been raised for
that purpose.
Eighty-two indictments for illegal
voting were found by the grand
jury of Hancock county at its ses
sion last week.
Mr. J. M. Speight, of Fort Gaines
whose sickness from cigarette stock
ing we have mentioned, isjno better,

Solicitor General Smith collected
in fines and costs, between $400
and $500 at the last term of Pulaski
superior court. Two young men,
indicted for the offence of gambling,
acknowledged their guilt, and were
fined $150 each.
Mr.J. P. Walker, who lives in
Gwinnett county, moved from Ogle
thorpe and drove his hogs the entire
distance. Some time afterward one
of them strayed off and when found
was back at the place from which
he was driven.
Mr. Freeman, of Bartow county,
is said to have the smartest dog in
the country. He minds the baby
through the day, drives up the cows
at night, sees that they ate milked,
separates the cows and calves in
the morning, and puts them in (heir
proper places, and makes Jiimself
generally useful about the house.
Tom McCaodless, the well known
passenger agent of Atlanta, sold one
man last Sunday fourteen hundred
dollars worth of railroad tickets.
The purchaser was a South Caro

for a member of his family. His
oldest child was twenty-one and his
youngest four years of age. There
were eighteen in the party.
HUMAN FLESH IN A BLAZE-
Tbs Terrible Situation In Which a Machin
ist Was Placed.
Little Rock, Ark., Dec. 2.—
W. F. McGinnis, an employe of the
St. Louis Iron Mountain and South
ern railway at Hrgenta, was sent to
the Camden branch to repair a lo
comotive. He had completed the
work, and the engineer raised
steam. The engine suddenly, from
some unknown cause, turned over
and McGinnis was caught under
the engine, with the hot water run
ning out on him, and the fire from
the furnace burning his legs. The
engineer could not extricate him
alone, nor could he remove all the
fire. Help was procured, and the
burning man released. When he
was dragged from the fire the flesh
}t his left hip actually blazed. His
face and neck were scalded, and
his right side was burned to a crisp.
He lived fourteen hours.

The Wile of a Leading Citizen In Trouble
From Strong Dnnk.
Toledo, Ohio, Dec. a.—The wife
ot Samuel Stettiner, one of the weal
thiest merchants and most promi
nent politicians of Toledo, was last
night an inmate of the padded cell
at Police Headquarters, a confirmed
victim of alcoholism. Owing to
the high standing of the family the
case is particularly a sad one, and
the public has been kept constantly
stirred up by the outcroppings of
the domestic infelicity. Last spring,
after Mrs. Stettiner had scalded her
husband so that he nearly died, pa
pers of divorce were prepared, and
the public was agog with expected
sensational details, when a compro
mise was effected. Recently a
child was born to them, and last
night Mr*, btettiner started out om
e rampage with a butcher’* knife,
and only the efforts of four police
men prevented a tragedy- $his
morning she was released. , ; >
