At 9 o’clock Monday morning the railroadmen of the Wahash and Chicago & Alton railroad, at Kansas City went on a strike. At that hour all the engine whistles were blown as a signal for the men to quit work. It was a genuine surprise to the officials. Blondin, desirous of replenishing his purse, wishes to make another tour through America and repeat his Niagara performance, but hesi tates because the law would compel him to have a safety net under the rope,which would detract much from the interest of the feat. He is now sixty- two yeares old and lives in London. There was a lady in Athens Monday from Lula, who says that there is a great deal behind the scenes In the murder of Merritt by Coffee. She says that Coffee has never run an illicit dis tillery, and that the tale about Merritt trying to get a woman to give Coffee away about his illicit distillery is all stuff, and that things will yet come to light showing that Merritt was trying to work the illicit distillery business on Coffee so as to get him to leave the country or to have him arrested. Omaha, March 22.—Ed Johnson, the desper ado who killed his employer Saturday, in trenched himself in a barn near Oakland, where he resisted all attempts to capture him and killoo two men and wounded several others. The barn was set on lire last evening. Fire was opened on Johnson and he was killed, falling in the flames. When the lire had subsided, the body was found riddled with bullets. Marietta, March 21. —Two very sudden deaths in one day has set our town into a frenzy of excitement. Miss Fannie Ford, fourteen years old, an adopted daughter of Mr. and Mrs, H. T. Daly, died last night, after a few hours’ illness. To-day Mr. W. Groves was stricken with spotted fever, or meningitis, and died about 7p. m. Mr. Groves has been a resident of this place all his life, and has for several years held the position of recording clerk in the freight office of the Western and Atlantic railroad in Atlanta. He leaves a wife and two children. New Yoke, March 20.—Joseph Pulitzer, edi tor of the World, has sent to the Governor of the New York hospital a check for $5,000, the amount of his first year’s salary as representative in Congress from the ninth district. This donation is to be used in endowing a permanent bed in the hospital for the benefit of sick and disabled newspaper workers of every kind. The experi ence of the past year has demonstrated the need of something of this character. It is understood that the control of the hospital bed thus perma nently assured will be vested in the trustees of the New York Press Club. At Atlanta Thursday two brothers, John and Marvin Sweat, who live in a settlement near the old Exposition hotel, had a desperate fight and tried to kill each other. The light grew out of a family quarrel. Marvin, who is a one-arm ed man, knocked several of John’s front teeth out and received a fearful blow undsr his left eye with a rock. After beating each other terribly the men parted for awhile. Marvin got an ax from his wife and John went to hia home and got a double-barreled shotgun. When they came within a few paces John levelled the gun on his brother and was about to kill him, when an old man rushed between them and knocked the weapon up. Officers stopped further trouble. Chicago, March 21.—The Inter Ocean’s Oshkosh (Wis.) special says: The most remark able atmospheric phenomenon ever known here occurred at 2. p. m. The day had been light, though slightly cloudy, when suddenly dark ness began settling down, and in five minutes it was as dark as midnight. General consterna tion prevailed. People on the streets rushed to and fro, teams dashed along, and women and children beat precipitate retreats into cellars. All business operations ceased until the lights could be lighted. Not a breath of air was stirring on the surface of the earth. The darkness lasted eight to ten minutes, when it passed off, seem ingly from west to east. Baldwin county voted wet Monday by 300 ma jority. The election will be contested. The prohibitionists claim that there were at least six hundred illegal votes polled. The grounds for contesting, as near as can be learned, are: I irst, the polls were kept open at Brown’s pre circt twenty minutes over time, w r hich will take about thirty from the antis’ majority. Second, that the cost on executions of insolvent taxes, amounting to over six hundred dollars, have not been paid. The antis, on the other hand, claim that the election was legal and that all voters who registered to hold the tax collec tor’s receipt in full for back taxes had a perfect right to vote and that a telegram was received from .1 udge Lawson, judge of this district, this morning stating the same. Some time before the failure of the ttrrn of Grant & Ward, Mrs. Virginia Corbin, of Boston, Gen. Grant’s sister, was invited to place money in the firm for investment. She called at the firm's office and introdneed to Ferdinand Ward. She took a dislike to him and, it is said, told Col. I red Grant that she believed Ward was un trustworthy. A few days later Mrs. Corbin in trusted Col. Grant with $25,000 which he invested with the Arm without her knowledge. When the crash came Gen. Grant in looking over the accounts discovered that the firm owed Mrs. Corbin this amount. As he was preparing for the end he charged his family to pay all the debts caused by his unfortunate connection with Ward. A day or two ago Mrs. Grant sent a eer terlied check for $25,000 to Mrs. Corbin in pay ment of the investment. Mrs. Grant, it is said, received the money from the publishers of her late husband’s book. The executive committee of the State Agricul tural Society met in the Chamber of Commerce, at Atlanta Monday to meet the general commit tee appointed by the various public bodies of Atlanta, to consider the invitation and hear the proposition to locate the State fair in the “Gate city” permanently. There was a full attendance of both committees, and a full informal confer ence had. Atlanta seemed anxious to get the fair, but the committee was rather at sea as to how to accomplish it. The fair committee, fully appreciating the advantages of Macon, stated that it would be necessary for Atlanta, or an other city, to offer superior inducements to move it. The Atlanta representatives were cautious as to offering financial inducements, as they are in no condition to do. They suggested various properties suitable for fair grounds. The re a ult of the meeting leaves the matter just where it has been. The question of permanent location will be settled at the August meeting of the Agricultural Society. Tombstone, Arizona, March 21.—The soldiers who have been stationed at Mud Springs, under the command of Lieut. Wheeler, have arrived heve, bringing news of the surrender of Geronimo to Lieut. Maus. The circumstances leading to the surrender arc reported as follows: Friday afternoon, about ten miles across the Mexican line, an Apache camp was attacked by Mexican forces and a hot skirmish ensued, during which two Apaches were killed and the forces of Ger onimo completely routed. Geronimo and his band fled in the direction of Lieutenant Mau’s cj>mp for safety and there made an uncondi tional surrender. The Mexican troops followed them across the line into Mau’s camp, demanding them as prisoners and claiming that the fight occurred on Mexican soil and the victory was theirs. Lieutenant Maus refused to give the prisoners up, which greatly incensed the Mex icans, who threatened to take the prisoners by force. General Crook was hourly expected to arrive in camp, but at last accounts had not yet come. Two dispatches from Lieutenant Maus have been received at Mud Springs applying for assistance. The situation is critical in the ex treme, and a massacre of Lieutenant Maus and Ids command may occur at any moment. BuUt’s Garden Seeds just received at Curry’s.

Cartersville, Oa. Official Organ Bartow County. Courant Publishing* Company. THURSDAY, MARCH 25, 188 G. All tie Ofcial Alyertisements ot Bartow Comity Appear in The Courant. Publishers’ Announcement. As heretofore announced, under the present management, it is intended to make The Oou rant a people’s paper in every sense of the word, and we know of no better way to carry out our object than to publish all the news and put it upon the market at the low price of ONE DOLLAR A YEAR. At this low price it will be impossible to carry any delinquents or a free list. The credit sys tem is the rock upon which many a newspaper enterprise has been wrecked. By putting the price so low, and giving our readers the news, we hope to make The Courant a permanent success and of lasting benefit to Cartersville and Bartow county. TO DELINQUENTS. We have some that are in arrears for one year. By remitting us $2. we will send The Courant another year, and cancel the old account, Nothing fairer could be asked. Mr. Clements’ Speech. We do not feel called upon to apologize for the space occupied by the speech of Hon. J. C. Clements, our immediate con gressman, and which will be found on the first page in this issue. The speech embodied some solid statistics which were too voluminous for us to publish. The speech has the jingle of true states manship as well the jingle of the “dol lar of our daddies.” Our congressman is eminently right in regard to the coinage question, and we could not refrain from allowing his constituency to read his ex cellent speech on the subject. The silver dollar is what the South needs, it is what everybody needs, and its unlimited coin age is anxiously hoped for. The silver dollar is a useful thing to have around a poor man’s house, and as yet we have heard of nobody refusing to take them except the gold bugs of Wall Street. When they get tired “toting” the silver dollar, there are plenty honest people in immediate reach who will relieve them of their burden. Besides being exact change for one years’ subscription to The Courant the silver dollar has an honest jingle about it that every poor man in the country enjoys. In the language of our congressman, “Let us have more of them.” Cartersville and Her Blind Tigers. •‘Cartersville is still having trouble with her blind tigers.”— Savannah Times. If there is any trouble about blind tigers in this part of the moral vineyard we have not heard of it, and if there is a blind tiger in this community we have not heard of it. “Blind tigers” are a thing of the past in this county, and its roar is no longer heard. True, a lew jugs of the ardent are received by ex press, but it is drank in private places and by private individuals. The only trouble there is about the whole thing, and probably the trouble the Times has reference to, is the fact that it puts a fellow to lots of trouble in hunting for one of the mysterious animals—and then the search ends with no success at all. Come up brother Richardson and try a hunt for the “roarer,” but if you are obliged to have some of the ardent, you had better bring your own jug for things are awful dry around here. ■ > -t An account of President Cleveland’s love affairs appeared in the Atlanta Con stitution on the 19th inst., bearing date of the 18th. There is nothing remarka ble in that. The Dade county limes publishes the same article on the same day, word for w r ord, on the patent out side of the paper, too, and it bore date of the 16th inst. Verily the get-up-and-get of the Dade county Times is somewhat remarkable, and we would warn the great Consti to hereafter look well after its laurels. In the ranks of the Georgia dailies none stand higher then the Macon Tele graph. Its news service is a most excel lent one, and the many friends of the paper up this way are delighted to re ceive it on the early morning train. The Telegraph is ably and fearlessly edited, while its mechanical get-up is unsur passed. A full account of the wholesale slaugh ter of negroes in a Mississippi court house during a trial, by an unmasked mob, will be found in another column this week. So long as such an atrocity is allowed and the perpetrators go unpunished, so long will the “blody shirt” wield iis sub tle power in American politics. The coming State campaign will be noted for its “dark horses.” “Skillet toting” is the order of the day, and every other man has one of these important cooking utensils which he is trying to “tote” all by himself. It is presumed that the man with the biggest skillet will “get thar Eli.” Congressman Pulitzer, of the New York World, has given $5,000, his first year’s salary as Congressman, to a New York hospital, to be used in caring for broken down newspaper men. Very few men know as well how to advertise as Pulitzer. Bacon and ’simmons are old Georgia stand-by’s, and it remains to be seen which will get nearest to the people’s heart. “Is the Negro a Failure?” is a ques tion that is bothering the minds of the statesmen. As a negro, in our humble opinion, he is an eminent success. Brushes, Combs, Perfumery, Fetlow’s Gossamer, Swan’s Down, and other toilet requisites at Curry’s. THE MISSISSIPPI OUTRAGE. A Cohrt House Entered by a Mob, While a Trial Is in Progress. Carrollton is a lovely little intend town in Mississippi and lias a population of about seven hundred. Some weeks ago Bob Moore, of Greenwood, Liddell’s home, and a personal friend of James Liddell, was in Carrollton and had a few words with Ed Brown, a very bad and unruly negro, whereupon Brown smash es a molasses pitcher over Moore’s head. The parties were separated. On February 13th Liddell was in Carrollton, met Ed Brown on the street and asked why he, Brown, struck Mooree, to which Brown replied: “I don’t know if that’s any of yourd— d business.” This was resented by a blow from Lid dell. Ed Brown immediately left, got his brother Charles and John Johnston, a chum of theirs, all arming themselves, and kook their stand on the corner ot the street where they knew Liddell would pass from supper. Professor Gunn, of the male academy, passed, and heard one of the party say that they would fix Mr. Liddell, and Gunn hastened to the hotel to tell Liddell what be had heard the ne groes say. Liddell and Gunn went to where they were stationed. Liddell, advancing,raised the hat of Ed Brow n, and asked what all that meant, when Ed replied, “That’s none of your business,” and Liddell again struck Ed, whereupon the three opened fire on him, and he returned the fire first at one and then the other. He slightly wounded Ed and received a painful wound in his right arm and one in his right leg. Mr. Gunn was not armed. Friends interfered and drove the ne groes off. Johnston had been firing from behind a tree within eight feet of Liddell. Mr. Liddell was confined to his bed over three weeks. The two Browns gave bond and John ston skipped. They stayed around town all the time, now and then making threats. Mayor Elam beard Ed. Brown say he expected to be killed but he would carry some d—d white men with him. Last week Liddell went home and Ed Brown swore out an affidavit against him, charging him with assault and battery with intent to kill. Liddell was arrested and carried back to Carrollton, and the trial fixed for Wednesday the 17th at 12 :30. Ed had also made affidavit against Ed Schaekelford, Walter Johuson, John, Jim and Bedford Maber, and A. Graham. They were the parlies who came to Lid dellis assistance on the night of the shoot ing. On Thursday these parties, together with Liddell, were on their trial. The Brown negroes and several of their sym pathizers were present, besides others who were there for purposes unknown. At one o’clock exactly, while Captain Estes was in the midst of his argument in Liddell’s defense, a crowd of men, es timated at from fifty to one hundred, armed with Winchester rifles and pis tols, galloped into the town and sur rounded the courthouse, some rushing in and the firing began. Ed Brown, see ing his doom was sealed, opened fire on Liddell and crawled under a bench. There were at least five hundred shots fired. After the shooting was over, and every body but Captain Estes and a wounded negro had vacated, Ed Brown crawled out from his hiding place and opened fire on Estes. The mob re-entered and per forated him with bullets. Nine were killed dead on spot, viz: Ed. Brown, Charles Brown, Joe Lang, French Hughes, A. Mathews, Simon Cain, Jim Johnston, Jim Harris, John Money, Andrew Robinson, Scoot Moore, Olie Thompson died soon after. Ten more were wounded, among whom were: Jake Cain and Will Dodds, who are not expected to live. Negroes jumped from the windows up stairs, fully twenty high, only two escaping, The horrible work was done inside of ten minutes. The mob was composed of the best citizens ot Lefevre county, and were not disguised. The killing of so many is regretted by everybody, but all are glad that the bad ones are gone. On most of the dead bodies arms were found. The room was completely filled with smoke. The judge’s bench is on the north side of the room and the benches facing it are towards the south. It is a very large court room with windows all around. On the south wall were counted 135 shot holes. In the walls of the passage leading down stairs were ten shot holes, and in the benches thirty shot holes. One shot struck a northeast window sash and glanced into the wall. Five others show on the north wall from the direction of benches. Large pools of blood were on the floor of the court room. The mob left as quietly and quickly as they came. For tear of further trouble from the ne groes, Sheriff Hamilton has notified Gov ernor Lowry to hold the Winona Rifles in readiness to go at his bidding. Governor Lowry says that the affairs at Carrollton do not, as far as he is now informed, de mand executive interference, that his in formation is that everything is quiet and that peace officers of the county do not now need any assistance. Reports sent to him of the circumstances of the imme diate origin of riot were to the effect that the negroes were the aggressors, one fir ing at Liddell in the court house, where upon the latter’s friends retaliated with the above fatal results. about ins browns. Adam Brown, the father of the de ceased, was born free, in Tennessee, and was of Indian extraction, being consid ered three-quarters breed. He bad all the characteristics in appearance, tem perament and general attributes of that people. He moved to Carrollton prior to the war and engaged in blaeksmithing, at which he made money enough to be con sidered rich. He purchased and operated two plantations and a good store out of this source, but by bad management and becoming involved in bad investments, was unable to stay the loss of forune which overtook him, and he died with out a dollar. His death followed from a shooting difficulty in 1872, in which he was wound ed by Tandy Oury, of the Carrollton Con servative, living but a short time there after. He had been in two other shoot ing difficulties prior to that time, in each receiving wounds sufficient to have killed any ordinary man. Mr. Oury killed him in self defense, as Adam had snapped his pistol, if not fired it, twice at Mr. Oury. Juliet Brown, the mother of the de ceased Ed and Charlie Brown, and wife of Adam, was born a slave, but her father being thrifty and allowed by his master the opportunity, made money enough to purchase her freedom and that of her brother prior to the war. She, like Adam, comes from the Indian race, being about half-breed. She has large cheek and jaw bone, and is what is termed “raw honey.” Her father, Ed mund Richardson, purchased in Carroll county her freedom from his master, Al fred Jackson. There are three daughters to Adam and Juliet, who are considered conspic uous in their near approach in appear ance and temperament to that people from whom their ancestors draw the ma jor part of their blood and resemble in many ways. They have loug, glossy black curly hair, and large, black, piercing eyes, full of resentment and flash, carrying unre lenting and vindictive hatred to that ene my who crosses their path. The two sons, Ed and Charlie, aged respectively 27 and 24 years, lost no quality of hatred, vindictiveness and un forgiving defiance and terrorizing that marked the fretful and adventurous life of their father, but accepted and sought every available opportunity to affront and bully the white race, never haying a sin gle serious conflict with the negroes, but always aggressive to a degree of bitter ness to the white people. They were de void of all religious faith and scouted the fear of death or the future. WHAT IS SAID. The coroner held no inquest. It is well understood that the perpe trators of the slaughter came from a dis tance. The affair is deplored by good citizens, but there is a feeling of relief that the community is finally rid of a gang of bad and desperate negroes. THE BIRMINGHAM AGE ON THE OUTRAGE. It was to be hoped, for the sake of hu manity, that the story of the killing ol the thirteen negroes in the court-house of Carroll county, at Carrollton, Missis sippi, wa3 exaggerated. At first tele graphed, the affair appeared nothing shoitof a cold-blooded massacre of de fenseless men. A second and fuller ac count, though it slightly mitigates the blame for the tragedy, scarcely lessens its horrors. Not until every one of the guilty par ticipants is arrested, tried, convicted and subjected to the utmost penalty of out raged law, will the State of Mississippi escape the righteous condemnation of all men who have the least spark ol humaui ty in them. The Governor of Mississip pi should see that the offenders are pun ished, if it takes all the power and re sources of the State to do it. Is it possible that Mississippi is no more than a depraved despotism in which there is no law but the rule of savage, insen sate brute force ? Will Misssisippians let this damnable mark of shame rest upon their commonwealth? It is enough to bring humiliation to every citizen of this republic. Not only Mississippi but the whole South and every State in the union will feel the evil of this crime. THE DOLLAR OF OUR DADDIES. An Old United States Note Prlntedln 1779, and Signed by It. Roberts and J. Maloney. Madison Madisonian.] Yesterday we w r ere shown an old Uni ted States note, the face value of which was sixty dollars, which was found in some old papers by Dr. Chas. Scoggin, who has been visiting his grandfathers, Mr. J. F. Johnson, in this county. Dr. Scoggin lives in Gilmer,Texas, and found the note in some old papers belonging to his father, which had been left by that gentleman in the possession of Mr. John son. The notes is of queer shape and peculiar designs, has “United States of North America” printed upon its edges, and the back of it is decorated by a to bacco leaf and indigo plant, the principal products of this country in those days. It was printed from a wood cut by Hall and Sellers. Below is a copy of the note, with the exception, of the designs and mottoes: No 156950. SIXTY DOLLARS. The bearer is entitled to receive Sixty Spanish Milled Dollars, or an equal sum in Gold or Sil ver, according to a Resolution of Congress of the 14th Jauuary, 1779. 60 Dollars. J. Maloney. 11. Roberts. The note may or may not be valuable. In the year of ijjs date Continental cur rency was below par. owing to the finan cial embarrassment of the government, and historians saj 7 that 1779 closed in gloom. But this note is not Continental currency, and may be valuable, if not for for its intrinsic value, as a relic of the long ago. Dr. Scoggin left for his home in Gilmer, Texas, yesterday, and says that he will advertise the note and ascer tain whether it is valuless. In the broad light of equity it seems that the govern ment should redeem it. A SINGULAR CASE. Cedartown Advertiser.] Some two weeks since, at his home near Ilockmart, Mr. J. A. Morgan died. He had been an invalid for ten years, through his afflictions his flesh, long be foae his death, having wasted away, leav ing his body a mere skin-covered skele ton. He would sleep a greater part of the time with his head off his bed and resting on a chair, claiming that in this position alone could he find comtort in slumber. He had been to Hot Springs without beneficial results and consulted as many as twenty good physicians, none of whom were able to correctly define his malady. A few months before his death he vomited up a live object re sembling in looks, it is said, a bot as found in horses, but with the manner of snail, reaching out and then drawing up when moving. Physicians have been unable to name the object, being distinct from anything of the kind ever winessed. It is believed by many that his stomach was infested by numbers of them, that caused his emaciation and death. He was well thought of, was 38 years of age and leaves a wife, two children and nu merous other relatives and friends to mourn his death.

LONG, AN OLD-FASHIONED RELIGION. Chicago News.] Sam .Tones preached at the rink last night, allowing the text to follow' the sermon. He said he did not do it to be odd, but because, in this instance, the text properly came last. The subject evidently was sin. He said : “Oh, you fellows say Jones is a bully fellow because he gives it to the church members hot. Now remember this, that the dryestold church member in Chicago ig better than you. He was right once, and you’ve been mean all your life. Now look here. You don’t need to tell me you live in sin because you don’t know how to live right. See here you are the very fellows who criticise church members and say they are hypocrits. You know how to live. If my foot slips in Chicago you all know it. Thieves know honesty, and lewd women know virtue. God help me to live as the yilest sinner says right. Either do right or shut up. . “There are whole churches in Chicago going to hell. They will drop right into the brimstone —right into the sulphuric flames. They’ll bob up just long enough to say: “My Lord, what a pity I be lieved in a faith which had no hell!” The man who believes in a religion which has no hell in it is the biggest fool in the world. You say you don’t like a hell scared religion. It’s the only kind I’ve got. 1 was so badly scared 13 years ago That it will save me in eternity. “The Universalists preach no hell. There are some good men in the Univer salist church; not good on account of L T niversalism, but good in spite of it. They hope to argue hell onto! existence. But, now, look here, I’m better fixed than they are. I’ll shun hell —if there is a hell; and if there is not I’m as well off' as you. I’ve two strings to my bow. “I he newspapers say I preach an old fashioned religion with a brimstone hell in it. I do. That speaks bad for you fellow's (turning to the ministers behind him), for if you had given them plenty of it they w'ould never have noticed me.” In Rome, on last Tuesday morning about 11 o’clock five shots were fired in rapid succession in the rear of Printup’s warehouse. In a few minutes a large crowd collected. Gordon Byrd, a son of Mr. J. P. M. Byrd, of that city, had attempted suicide by shoot ing himself through the head. He has been acting very strangely of late. He left the public school at 10 o’clock that morning, and remarked to some of the boys that he would not be living by night. He had just recovered from one of his fits. There was no cause for his rash act except insanity. The Macon Telegraph's Atlanta corres pondent wrote to that paper Tuesday night that —“Gubernatorial gossip about the hotels is that Gordon is definitely in the race, and will enter upon an active campaign; that McDaniel’s withdrawal was a part of the programme, and that in due time Simmons will get out of the way, leaving the field for Gordon and Bacon.” Hon. A. T. Mclntyre, Sr., of Thomas ville, has been appointed a trusttee of the State Lunatic Asylum to fill the va cancy caused by the death of Colonel L. N. Whittle, of Macon.
