Atlanta, Nov. 19.—Atlanta has to
chronicle another tragedy. W. L. Dodd,
clerk in a beer saloon on Decatur street,
shot and killed James Chosewood.
'J he quarrel originated from a quart of
beer winch had been sold to Chosewood.
It appears that a minor was with Chose-
wood, who sat down with him at a table
to drink the beer, when the clerk refused
to furnish a glass for the minor to use.
Words followed, aud finally Chosewood
threw the contents of the beer measure
at Dodd, whereupon he shot Chosewood
in the breast, from the effects of which
the unfortunate man died in about
fifteen minutes.
Chosewood, seeing what he had done,
grabbed his coat and ran out at a back
door and made bis escape before the
jKilice arrived, and, so far, lias not been
apprehended.
Both men are white, and each has a
family dependent upon him for food and
clothing.
Young Chosewood has always borne
the reputation of lieing an inoffensive,
law-abiding and industrious citizen. For
some time past lie has been engaged in
selling jewelry over the country. In his
employ he lias had a young tnan named
Richard Johnson, who acconqianied him
on all bis trips, assisting linn in his,
business.
After dr : Hug bis beer. Dodd took his
glass am w e ■ nack to the bar. Chose-
wood lit d die remaining glass and
handed ii . young Johnson, who begai
drinking the beer.
While be was doing so, Dodd saw him,
and leaving the counter, walked up to
Johnson's side aiul took the glass from
him.
Cl lose wood expostulated with ' him
about tlie glass, stating that unless he
gave Johnson one to drink the balance of
the beer out of, lie (Chosewoo-i) would
throw it in his face.
Dodd remarked that if lie did it would
lie the las-, he’d ever throw, at the same
time going enind the bar and standing
witli his bands below the counter.
Chosewood insisted upon Johnson hav
ing a glass, hut Dodd refused to give him
one, stating that he did not want minors
to drink in that place because it was
against the law.
Chosewood again threatened to throw
the i»eer in Dodd’s face, and did splash a
little toward him. The beer did not touch
Dodd, but feU upon the floor.
There were a liurulier of other people
in the saloon at the time, one man stand
ing close enough to Chosewood to touch
his arm, but all thought that Chosewood
and Dodd were in fun.
After a moment or two Chosewood
again asked for a glass, and Dodd still
refusing, he remarked that the next time
he’d throw the beer on Dodd sure
enough.
“All right,” said Dodd, “throw it if
you want to.”
The words were hardly out of his
before mouth the contents of the beer
measure were splashing against the front
of his apron.
Almost at the same instant Dodd raised
a pistol from below the counter, and
aiming it at Chosewood, pulled the trig-
jr<>r before anybody in the saloon had an
idea that a serious difficulty was brewing.
Tlie Coroner'ii «fury.
The coroner was immediately notified,
who repaired to the scene and empan
eled a jury.
Eight of the jurors were in favor of a
verdict of voluntary manslaughter, and
four in favor of a verdict of murder.
Only four witnesses were brought be
fore the inquest.

Atlanta, Nov. 19.—Frank’ Williams
and Theodore Johnson, two bright and
neatly dressed young men, have been
locked up in the stationhouse, charged
with relieving Mrs. E. T. Miller’s pocket
of a purse containing $102.
The members of the W. C. T. D. were
going on an excursion to Indian Spring,
on the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia railroad.
The coach was packed with passen

Mrs. Miller’s pocket. He arrested them
and took them to police headquarters,
where they were searched.

* GOV. NORTHEN.
He Will Not Heed Politicians, and
Won’t Support Liquor Drinkers to

Gov. Northen has started a new de
parture on official reform. He says it
is a waste or time to send him a peti
tion signed bv a number of persons, J-is
he considers such documents as only
tlie wishes and sentiments of one man,
signed by a large number; that any one
can get up a petition for most any pur
pose, as many people attach their names
to such papers without even reading
them. To secure the governor’s con
sideration. you must prove your
strength and worth by individual let
ters, trom men of character, and who
are in a position to know and substan
tiate what they state.
There is another rule that our nsw
governor lias adopted. He will not
appoint tA office any man addicted to
the use of intoxicating liquors td ex
cess, and in selecting his appointees he
will always give preterence to men who
never touch ardent spirits, all other
things being equal. The Governor
tays if lie hears of an officer under his
jurisdiction being intoxicated, that he
will at once dismiss him from the ser
vice of the Stale, at an hour’s notic .
This policy lie will enforce without
fear, favor or affection.
While In his offie.-, Gov. Northen is
very dignified, but courteous. He will
give you a certain :inie to state your
business, when you are expected to
leave and make room for another visi
tor. He is nun-committal, but
gives careful att ntion to every

he leaves his office and meets his friends
on tile streets, he is the same affable,
genial gentl man of yore, and a stranger
would never take him to he the Chief

Matters of News, and Notes of General
Interest from All Over.
New York, Nov. 20.—A remarkable
surgical operation was successfully per
formed in Mount Sinai hospital, on Lex
ington avenue, recently. It is thought
it is the first of its kind in this country.
The operation was the removal of tlie
entire left arm, shoulder blade and col
lar bone, and muscles attached thereto,
of a man 45 years old.
According to records, such an opera
tion has been performed only thrice be
fore—once in France and twice in Eng

In a few days the patient will be able
to leave tlie hospital a -healthier man
than when he entered, so complete and
thorough has been the work of the sur
geons.
The patient is Judah Halpin, a native
of Russia. His malady was a malignant
tumor, which affected his shoulder.
The operation occupied oue hour and

Mr. Norman introduced an election
bill to-day. He says it is a practice in
his county for republican negroes on
the night before an election, to go
around to the houses of negroes who
expect to vote for the democratic can
didate and threaten to kill them if they
fail to vote for the republican candi
date. After having thus threatened
them, they gather at the polls the next
day and so frighten the negroes that
they fear to vote for the candidate of
their choice and cast their ballots for
the republican.
This state of affairs, Mr. Norman says
exists in many other sections of Geor
gia, and his bill proposes to remedy it.
This will be done by making it a mis
demeanor when it can be shown that
anyone threatened a voter the night be-
f >re the election, or at the polls.
It also provides that the vote of the

as the vote of the man intimidated,shall

OBSERVATIONS WORTHY OF NOTE
IN RURAL AFFAIRS.
An Illustrated Description of That Seri
ous Disease of a Horse’s Hoek Known
as the Bone Spavin, with Advice from
Different Authorities A boot Its Cure.
One of the most serious diseases of the
hook is spavin, of which there are sev
eral varieties, known as bog spavin, bone
spavin and occult spavin. The latter is
so named because there is nc> perceptible
enlargement on or about the hock.
A bone spavin is a swelling or bony
tumor situated upon the lower, and inner
part of the bock joint, as shown by Fig.
1 in the first cut. Fig. 2 represents the
inner side of the bone of the hock afflict
ed with a spavin of long standing. The
rough portion represents the osseous de
posit, which has become as hard and firm
as the shin bone itself. Fig. 3 represents
a shin boDe having an osseous deposit
upon its head and on the inner side.
When this bony enlargement is high up
on the joint it often prodaces incurable
lameness.
In the second cut Fig. 1 represents the
natural position of a sound hock when
the animal is in motion. Fig. 2 shows
the position of the hock and foot when
the latter is brought to the ground in
various phases of bone spavin.
action. Spavin is supposed to be one of
the hereditary diseases handed down
from sire or dam to offspring. This may
not be strictly true, writes a veterinary
surgeon in American Cultivator. Yet
in one sense it is doubtless correct, for
while the diseased hock itself may not
be transmitted, yet the form of hock
most liable to be affected by spavin, if
possessed by either sire or darn, is liable
to reappear in the progeny. Short, nar
row hocks are much more liable to suffer
from spavin than long, wide wedge
shaped ones, a fact which young breed
ers can remember to their advantage
when selecting their stock.
The treatment advised by Stonehedge
is such as tends to abate the inflamma
tion and promote absorption of the new
growth. Prior to the adoption of any
plan the joint should be rested, the outer
heel of the shoe should be lowered, the
com should be taken away, and the sys
tem cooled by appropriate treatment.
After these precautions are taken, the
next thing is to decide npon the reme
dies which will be suited to the case.
They consist in: (1) Blisters, which have
a tendency t8 cause absorption; (2)firing;
(3) setons, with or without subcutaneous
scarification; (4) division of the nerve.
A Warning to Dairymen.
Professor Henry warns dairymen and
others interested in regard to the adul
teration of cow foods by an admixture
of the oat hulls that come from the oat
meal factories with other grain foods,
and all palmed off under the general
head of “mill feed.” the purchaser think
ing that because he sees the shuck of the
oat he has the vital substance of it with
it. Hoard’s Dairyman commenting on
the above says: “As nearly as we can
ascertain oat bran—which is about what
the oat hulls are—is worth only alioat
two-thirds as much per ton as wheat
bran. It is sold from the factories at
about $7 per ton. Of course, when mixed
with feed said to be worth §1 per 100
pounds it is a swindle of the buyer.
Turpentine for Farm Stock.
When a chick has the gapes,” says a
writer on poultry, “give a drop or two
of turpentine in the food. When a lamb
pines from a similar cause give it twenty
drops in a tablespoonful of new milk.
When a calf coughs—a dry. husky cough
—and becomes thin and poor, give it a
tablespoonful of the same in a pint of
linseed gruel. All these ills aro caused
by the same pest—the throat and lung
thread worm—which is destroyed and
ejected by the fumes of the turpentine.”

How Mr. Neal Lost His Life in the Treach

Cumming, Ga., Nov. 21.—A horrible
accident happened to Mr. John W. Neal
at his cotton gin, five miles west of Gum

It appears that the gin was running,
but not being fed, and Mr. Neal raised
the breast of the gin and was picking
motes from between the saws, when the
breast suddenly fell, catching both his
arms in the teeth of the aaws and liter
ally tearing them to pieces.
Physicians were summoned, and did
all they could to relieve him, but to no

SHOWING POSITIONS OF SOUND HOCK.
Russell says that bone spavin may be
removed by an early application of the
proper remedies. In its incipient state
it may be discovered by an unusual heat
or tenderness on the inner side of the
hock joint, accompanied with a touch of
lameness. At this period Russell sug
gests a blister, but when of long stand
ing it is usually necessary to apply actual
cautery. This latter operation, how
ever, must not he performed while any
inflammation remains. The horse most

siderable time.
Mixed Hay for Horses,
The New York Times thinks the pre
vailing favor of timothy alone for feed
ing horses is not a wise one. The hay is
not so abundant and not so nutritious,
especially for hard working horses,
whose muscle is constantly used and ex
hausted in tiresome exertion. This mus
cular waste exhausts the system of its
nitrogenous elements, which pass off as
urea formed by the decomposition of
muscular fiber in the system of a hard
working animal. Timothy hay alone is
deficient in nitrogen, having but 9} per
cent, of nitrogenous matter, while clover
hay has 15J per cent., and mixed' tim
othy and clover has 12$ per cent. Thus
the mixed hay has about one-third more
of the nitrogenous elements of the food
than the clear timothy, and this makes
the difference of nineteen cents per iOO
pounds in the actual feeding valuo of
the two kinds of hay in favor of the
mixture. The general popularity of the
timothy hay is undoubtedly due to
prejudice against the clover, which
would certainly be removed by actual
test and experience. .. *

ture must be such as to kill the smut
spores and the immersion must not he
prolonged so that the heat would injure
the germ or embryo concealed within
the seed coats. If the water is at a tem
perature of 132 degs. F., the spores will
be killed, and yet the immersion, if not
continued beyond fifteen minutes, will
not in the least injure the seed. The
smut spores will possibly be killed by ten
minutes’ immersion. A fifteen minute
immersion, however, is recommended.
The temperature must be allowed to
vary hut little from 132degs.; in no case
rising higher than 135 degs., nor falling
below 180 degs.

Sawdust on the Farm.
Spreading green sawdust on ground
that is to be cultivated next season is
not advised. It will have bnt slight
value as manure at the best, and should
not be used for that purpose until after
it has lain in heaps to rot, or has become
decomposed in some other way. Its
best use is found in the construction of
ice houses, where it furnishes the best
material in building the walls and cov
ering the ice. Its next best use is for
stable bedding, for which purpose it is
employed by many persons very exten
sively wherever it can be cheaply ob
tained. After undergoing heating and
fermentation from its admixture with
horse manure it may be hauled out upon
the land. It is not as good as straw for
bedding or for manure, but answers the
purpose riioderately well in the stable,
and adds to the bulkjof the manure pile,
although not greatly to its valne.
