Mr. B, C. Coyle, an old and respected citizen
of Dalton, who has been working in the gold
mines upon Cobutts mountain, in Murray
county, was recently taken at night by twelve
masked wen apd severely beaten. 'JTwo women
were also taken from the house where he was
boarding and were severely whipped—one of
them, a young woman, fainting under the severe
and brutal treatment.
Mr, Coyle was taken off some distance and
stripped <*f his el oil dug, and l>is body was liter
ally gashed from head to foot, Afber the kpklnx
had left him he followed and overtook them at a 1
neighboring house, seeking, if he could, to re
cognise them, lie was then taken and whipped
again mows Beyereiy than at tirst. The reason
they gave for whipping him was that he had l
been reporting upon them tor running illicit dis
tiUerus*' and the women were whipped tor the
same reason, so alleged. Mr, Coyle, after laying
up tor some considerable time, was able to get
home, bat is still suffering, and is under the
treatment of a physician. He is a man of excel

by all the people of Dalton.
Mr, Kd G. Murphy keeps a grocery store at the
corner of James and Pulliam streets jn Atlanta,
Friday night about V o’clock six negroes, three
men And three women hLed into bis store. One
of the crowd asked for five cents worth of French
candy. “Havn’t any French candy” said Mr.
Murphy “Any kind of candy will do” sid the
man, and threw down a (quarter. Mr. Murphy
wrappoil up the candy and opeaed his cash
drawer to change the money. The negroes hied
out and went across the street, where they stood
watching the store. In a few moments two big
aegro men came in and said that they wanted
a dozen eggs, Mr. Murphy stepped up on a box
to reach for the eggs, which were on a shelf.
His toot slipped, and he turned his back to the
negroes to catch his balance, when one of the
scoundrels dealt him a powerful blow on the
back of the head with a siting shot, cutting a
terrible gash, from v, hich the blood fairly spurt
ed. Both negroes then assaulted Mr. Murphy,
trying to kill him. He fought for his life, pry
ing up an empty barrel and holding them off
with it. About this time the street car came
along. A man heai ing the racket jumped off
the car and ran into the store. The negroes see
ing him fled through a side door and escaped in
the darkness. Mr. Murphy, covered with blood
and quite weak, was assisted to his home, a few
blocks distant, by the gentleman whose timely
appearance probably saved his life. The object
of the negroes, Mr. Murphy thinks, was robbery.
He believes that they were connected with the
gang who first came in, that the scheme was to
murder him to give eight negroes a chance to
rifle his store. For some reason the affair was
not reported to the police. Mr. Murphy was
badly bruised about the face and hands and his
head is terribly swollen from the wounds which
he received.

Publishers’ Announcement.
As heretofore announced, under the present
management, it is intended to make The Cot -
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 inqiossible 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.
We Must Have It!
Anew railroad is on tapis. Augusta is
openly moving. Other places are secretly
moving. It is the Augusta and Chatta
nooga railroad that is causing the stir. It
is presumed it will connect Athens
with Gainesville by rail, and build from
Gainesville to Rome and from Rome to
Chattanooga. Between these two points
the proposed road will use the old Rome
and Chattanooga road, a charter for which
was granted some years ago, and part of
the grading on which has been done.
From Augusta to Athens the route will
be up the Georgia Road to Union Point,
and thence up the Athens Branch, The
points will be Augusta, Athens, ftaines
yille, Rome and Chattanooga.
Now the question is, Shall Cartersville
be one of the points? Shall we be one of
the stations on this route ? This road is
obliged to go through Bartow county.
It must, therefore, cross the W. and A.
Road at souie point from (.’artersville to
Kingston. It is unquestionable that
Cartersville offers to the new road fay
more inducements in the way of freights,
etc., than does Kingston.
A look at the map will show that our
steady little city is the natural crossing
point for the W. & A. and the Augusta
and Chattanooga. The construction
through this place will cost thousands of
dollars less than £he cost of any other
route which could possibly be taken.
There is a range of hills and mountains
running from Pinelog through Wolfpen
District, crossing the Etowah and ex
tending to the southwest end of the
Allatoona mountains. Tfoe new road will
have to pass this range. There is
RUT ONE WAY
to pass it. That is, to strike Etowah
somewhere near the Bartow and Cherokee
line, run doiyn somewhat along the river,
and pass through CartersviU.e. ft will
surprise one not familiar with the locali
ties to examine and see how easily and
with what small grades this route can be
traversed. Besides, the right of way of
the old road from the Etowah Bridge to
the Furnace grounds of the Etowah Man
ufacturing (Company can be utilized.
This would be no uiean advantage. Now,
it is practically impossible to cross this
mountain range by any other route,
without the expenditure of enormous
sums of njoney for tunnels, trestles and
Alls.
FROM CARTERSVILLE TQ ROME
the route will he easy and cheap. It
could go to Kingston and thence to Rome,
or It could cross the siowah somewhere
between Douthitt’s Bridge and Rowland
Ferry (possibly lower down), and thence
go almost on an air-line to Borne. The
latter route will be remarkably free from
cuts and fllls, though it will necessitate
two bridges over the Etowah. From
Cartersvjdle to Kingston there |s not a
cut Afteen feet deep on the W. & A. The
Rome road is remarkably free from cuts
and Alls.
Thus it is clear beyond doubt that even
in the mere matter of post of construction,
Cartersyille ought to be QU the new
route, in other points it will be of im
mense and lasting
ADVANTAGE to THE NKVy ROAD
to eorae through this city. We are a
goodly town, Our parrying trade is
worth seeking by any railroad. We buy
great stocks of goods and ship thousands
of dollars worth of produce each year.
Better than ajl, there is no mushroom
growth about this town. We are on
v A SOLID FOUNDATION.
It is literally impossible for Cartersville,
situated as she is, ever to do less business
than she does now, or grow smaller. The
unsurpassed fertility of our farming
lands, the variety and abundance of the
crops of this section, the fact that we are
the largest town, and the only town
having a bank, and the town that does
the most business in a
STRETCH OF ONE HUNDRED MILES
along the State road, and the fact that we
are exactly in the middle of this long
stretch of Ane territory renders our com
mercial position impregnable. Give us
railroad competition, and low freights
that will follow it, and the music of
factories will sing to us by day, and the
blare and glare of furnaces and foundries
will light our skies by night.

As yet Gen. Gordon has flot been

Still On Top.
That’s what Bartow county is, and it
will take a heap bigger flood than we
have yet had, to get us down. Poor
Rome! Drowned, washed, torn up, rid
dled, losses counted by the hundred
thousand, she deserves our sympathy. It
is in no gloating spirit that we compare
our own condition* to that of Floyd
county and other unfortunate localities.
But we cannot help exulting that out of
such freshets we come almost unscathed.
Take it all in all, the river bottoms are
benefited. The same may be said of
most of the creek bottoms. On Col.
Tom Milner’s river farm, there is de
posited a sediment that is as rich as ma
nure. The same is true ot Dr. Baker’s
and Gen. Young’s river farms. We learn
similar accounts of others.
On Pettit’s creek, Col. Howard’s beau
tiful meadows are increased in value
from $2 to $5 per acre. Dick Ciay’ton’s
land, nearly all of which was under
water, is benefited greatly. Billy
Hood’s is similarly helped. We name
these merely as instances. Doubtless
there are many others in the same condi
tion.
The truth is, lower waters would have
hurt us more. The river rose so high,
and stood high so long, that it backed
the creek waters,and these in turn spread
out over the low lands, and when the
waters receded, it was found that the low
lands were covered with rich deposits of
loam and muck.
The river receded so slowly that the
back waters went off gradually, and
thus the damage from washing is small.
This county was damaged far less than
by the smaller freshet of 188}. In fact,
while we sympathize with our less for
tunate sister counties, we congratulate
ourselyes tin our good fortune in being
so fayored by nature in this, as in many
other natural advantages.
NEWS BOWE.
A “Couraut” Man Diving Among the
Scenes of the Flooded City.
Special Correspondence of The Courant.J
Rome, Ga., March 4.—To-day quite
different scenes are being enacted in
Rome from those of the previous days.
Ifo }Qi}gep prp the gondolas seen plying
fhe streets of a modern Venice, and the
air of a holiday which the people have
worn since last Wednesday morning, has
given way to a look of business. The
tones of the church bells this morning,
calling a depressed people to seek com
fort in the house of God, fell upon
heedless ears, for the merchant, the
plepV apd oyery laborer who can be hired
are hard at work cleaning up and saying
the goods pf the merchants or raking the
soft six-inch mud from the pavements.
Last night I reached a down town build
ing by paddling a canoe through the
raging waters; this morning at 7 o’clock
I made my way back over the same
ground by wading through mud ankle
deep,
df,es§ of tlje ayerage IJoman be
tokens nothing of approaching £astfq
for nearly all garments are bespattered
with mud. Rome is indeed in a bad
plight. On Broad street, the principal
bqsjqess street of Jiome, there are hut
f|e}y hpusps up fp as fF ** thp Central
hotel which has npt l}ejen touphed by the
nniddy Waters! In many places on the
street the water stood eleven feet deep,
reaching but not entering the second
story of seyeral business houses. The
food wa§ simply beyond anything ever
reamed of by out people, and worst of
all it caught the merchants in a severe
snap. There are none who can point
their Angers at their neighbors and say
a l told you so,” for all shared alike. At
the approach of the Hood the merchants
hnisfpd their goods two and three feet
abqve tpq hjgh marks of 188 J and
left fqr their homes Tuesday ‘ evening
contented and happy with 'the delusion
that they Kad learned lessons from for
mer Hoods. But Wednesday morning,
however, when they turned out to view
the high waters they were horrified at
thp extent of the dejuge, and if was
found fnat ypry fe\y gqods had j>een
placed so high that they were not sub
merged. Every man, woman and child
in Rome will forever remember this day.
The day before the new bridge of the
Rome and Carrollton railroad had been
washed and that morning at 4
o’clock the Howard street biidge, the
East Tennessee railroad bridge and the
Broad street bridge were carried away.
Many houses were swept off, and the ex
periences of many in escaping from
houses in the flooded districts were thrill
ing. Men, women and children throng
ed the streets and inquired anxiously of
the news Of djesters: Qne of the most
remarkable things of the w hole business
w r as no loss of human life.
There is simply no estimating the loss
to this city. Many have Agured up the
loss over and over again, but no two
agree. The Courier of this morning
says:'“Tl‘ie (Jarqage in Bps city will be
two hundred thousand doljirs at a mod
erate estimate. The loss in merchan
dise alone will be near $200,000. Nearly
every merchant on both sides of Broad
street, from the bridge to the Central ho
tel Will bo from one t 0 ten thousand dol
lars, some even more.” Mr. Parks, of
Parks & Cos., has told me that their loss
was about $20,000; Fahy estimates his
about the same. Other heavy losers are
j’ord, Qloyer & Hight, Battey & Hamil
ton, McGhees & Cos, Rounsaville Bros, G.
J. Briant, Simpson & Ledbetter, R. G.
Clark & Cos., P. L. Moon & Son and
many others. The loss of the Messrs.
Moon is heavy. Their entire stock was
up4er water, The Rome & Carrollton
bridge was worth only about $2,000 and
the other three about SIO,OOO each. All
of the railroads have been badly dam
aged by the washings of tracks, trestles
and bridges, and up to date we only have
one train each day from Atlanta, one
from about forty miles towardg Selma,
all others having suspended entirely for
the present. Tqe Borne Railroad was
almost entirely covered. AH of its tres
tles have been washed away.
For three days Rome had no connection
of any sort with the outside world, and
as yet our mail and telegraphic’facilities
are limited. At night the city was opp
of darkness and upon the waters no boats
were allowed unless accompanied by a
police boat. The Central was the only
hotel aboye high water mark and it was
called the head of navigation. The
house has been crowded to its utmost
since the flood, and Mj. Hoss has made
a good stroke by refusing to raise rates.
All of our people are looking at the
situation bravely, and in a few days all
the signs of the great flood of 1886 will
have disappeared. Reporter.

CAPITALISTS ORGANIZING.
Pittsburg Record.]
Not ouly is the uncertainty in regard to
the relations of capital and labor in the
near future bringing about combinations
of employers, but business establishments
in various parts of the country are de
clining to enter upon contracts, and
builders in this city have called a halt
and are considering the advisability of
postponing operations until after the set
tlement ot the Impending struggle shall
have cleared the clouds from the indus
trial horizon. Capital does not have to
eat, it ha3 no small children, and does not
have to pay rent or buy coal. Three
months of industrial prostration would
increase purchasing power of a dollar In
direct proportion to the limit that would
be put upon the earning capacity of the
masses; and to recover from such a state
of business paralysis would require years
of well directed effort.
The combination of employers in the
New England States to meet with united
forces the demands of employes makes it
of paramount importance that labor or
ganizations should be just and equitable
in their demands and prompt to
by decisive action that they do not en
dorse acts of violence to person* or prop
erty, and that they will not tolerate
among their members who instigate
or commit such act* in violation of peace
and order. In the large membership en
rolled in ’!.e Knights of Labor there are
doi’toess men wiio have joined the order
with no other purpose than to endeavor
to bring about a state of society in which
wage-earners as a class shall be arrayed
in open warfare against their employers
and all capitalists, in the hope that dur
ing the conflict and after its settlement
opportunities for their own advancement
may be presented. The leadership of
such men would be disastrous to the wel
fare of organized labor and to that of the
individual workiugman ; and when from
their teachings violence results, the
Knights of should be thoroughly
in earnest in disclaiming sympathy with
the act and with the perpetrators, Their
sincerity can in no other way be better
shown than by the expulsion from their
organization of all men known to have
been guilty of an overt act. No great
social reform was ever accomplished that
was not conceived in justice and equity;
and only bj’ the presentment of its claims
in a spirit 'of fairness to all concerned
can organized labor hope to succeed in its
efforts to better the condition of the
wage-earner.
CANDLER’S DAMAGE SUIT.
The suit at Atlanta of John S. Candler,
well known in Cartersville, against the
Qeorgia sailroac} and Company
for $40,Q00 is bfised on a very sad accident
In 1883 Mr. Candler lived at Edgewood,
a suburb of Atlanta. He practiced law in
Atlanta. It was his custom to take the
Covington accomodation train for home
late in the afternoon, getting oft* at the
crossing near the Fulton spinning mills,
just beyond Oakland cemetery.
On the night of March 13, 1883, Mr.
Candler came to Atlanta to attend a
meeting for the purpose qf organizing
the Atlanta Greys, a’ military company.
He remained in town too late to take ihe
Covington accommodation. He boarded
the night express on the Georgia road,
intending to get off at the crossing near
the Fulton mills. He thought the train
run sufficiently slow for him to jump off
in safety. In this he was mistaken.
It was a dark night when Mr. Candler
saw the lights of the Fulton mills gleam
ing ahead of the train, he went out qn
the platfoaAnd gqt down on tpe lower
step, intfeiSwig Wlieri tnd train should
slack Up at the crossing to step off’ and
go home. But instead of slacking up,
the train paissed the crossing at the rate
of about twelve miles an hour. A{r.
Candler did nqtjump, btqt tipped to go
back in the pay and fqok his seat. In
turning ori the lower step of the plat
form, his back protruded several inches
from the platform. He was struck by a
pile of wood stacked up within a few
inches of the track and khooked senseless.
He fell from the platform under the cars.
Three coaches passed over both his legs,
mangling them so terribly that they
were amputated the same night. lie
suffered great agony, and will continue
to suffer all his life.
At the time of the accident he wa s 3
lawyer of nine yeapfl standing. He had
earned about sl,sQb that year,' and’ w ith
age and experience hoped to earn from
$5,000 to SIO,OQO a year. His practice
was broken up, and his capacity to pur
sue his profession reduced at least two
thirds.
IJe was fqreed tQ abandon all Lqslness
for six ipqntljs at a loss of SGQO. lie ex
pended $!0 for nursing, s9s(f for medi
cal attendance, and $350 for a-set of arti
ficial limbs, which set will have to be re
placed by anew one every five years at
the same cost. He was just2l years qjd,

prospect of living at least forty years
longer. He w r asdisabled for life. The case

Governor Ireland is now in the city.
All the saloons and drinking places have
been closed hy order ot Mayor Smith,
and a large police force patrolled the city
last night. More freight trains will
move South to-day. Nothing authorita
tive has been heard from the strikers
who were shot last Saturday.
Sr. Louis, April a —lt was generally
believed yesterday that the freight block
ade on this and the east side of the river
would be raised and the resumption of
traffic would be completed. There was
but little interference last Saturday with
the running of freight trains from East
St. Louis, and it was the expectation of
officials that they would be able to prose
ecute their business to day the same as
though there had never heeq apy trop
ble. The bridge and tpnnel company
announced yeste?day that they would be
ready to handle all business given them.
A joint nptlce agreed upon at a general
meeting held Saturday, giving the men
until 1 o’clock to-day to return to work,
evidently had the desired effect, as su
perintendents were notified yesterday by
many of their former employes that they
would be on hand to-day ready for duty
in a body at the company’s stables this
morning. The striking Missouri Pacific
Knights, it is understood, also intended
to apply for positions tq former em
ployers. 4 1 - a very l ate hour last night
the general executive committee formally
revoked their order to the Knights of La
bor to return to work. This makes the
out-look less hopeful, and the strike may
nol be so nearly ended as was to-night.
The Missouri Pacific has already em
ployed a sufficient number of new men
to carry on its business and the officials
of that road anticipate no trouble in
keeping the road open in spite of a renew
al of the strike. Jm East §t. how
ever, she situation Is different, for those
who have alteacjy returned to work, as
well as those who announced their in
tention of returning to-day, are Knights
of Labor and are subject to the of
the Execq iye CqmULttee. ft is expect
ed, therefore, tnat those who have gone
back to will to-day strike
again, and that offerers will withdraw
their applications for their old portions
when they receive aqnpv\nceipent
of the action.
The Iron Mountain sent out five freight
trains this morning and the Missouri Pa
cific an equal number. No opposition
being offered by strikers resumption of
freight traffic on these roads may now be
considered complete and raising of block
ade on that branch permanent,

GEORGIA'S BONDS.
And the Suit by Holders to Recover the
Face Value Thereof.
Chicago, April 3. —Hon. Robert T.
Lincoln, of the }aw o,f Isham & Lin
coln, said this morning that his firm held
bonds of the face value of SIOO,OOO issued
by the State of Georgia in 1809, }B7O,
and since
been direptecj tot p,re§Gqt to the State of
Illinois for the benefit of the soldiers’
home.
The bonds are, among others, bought
up by foreigners and for a long time have
been in the hands of New York bankers.
Mr. Lincoln stated that suit would be
brought in the United States Supreme
court within a short time by the State of
Illinois against the State of Georgia to
recover the amount of these repudiated
bonds.
In 1882 test suits were brought by the
State of New Hamsshire and Sfew York
against Louisiana by the State Attorney-
Generals in the name of the States to re
cover the amount of repudiated bonds
owned by their citizens, but the decision
of the Supreme court, delivered by Chief
Justice Waite, was that the owners of
State bonds could not sue in the name of
their State, after getting the consent of
that State, or one State could not assume,
the prosecution of the debts of another
State to its citizens. It is because of this
decision that the present mode of action
has been decided on.
While the suit promises to provoke
Interesting questions of the relations be
tween the States under the constitution,
Mr. Lincoln said, it was impossible to
say what its issue might be, although he
was of the opinion that the legal points
to be considered would ha entirely novel
to the Supreme court.
Some time ago a move was made, with
a similar end in view, by Judge Locti
rane of Georgia, as the American agent
of a large number of German holders of
repudiated bonds. \ claim was filed
against the United States In the Court of
Claims at Washington, in which the
claim was set up that the United States
was liable for debts contracted by the
Southern States directly governed by the
general government during the recon
structed period. This ease, in which
Ishatp Linooln are also interested,
will have a special hearing before the
Court of Claims next Monday morning,

Monday morning of last week when
the cessation of the strike on the Gould
railroads WM announced, the New York
stook market became active and excited
and advanced several points. Later on,
when it beoame known that the trouble
was not settled, the market again became
heavy and lost about all that had been
gained in the morning. This is a pretty
fair indication of the interest the finan
cial world takes in the pending conflict
between Capital and Labor.

DEATH of a noted person.
Miss Biddie Davis died Tuesday night,
at her residence about five miles fiom
this place on the Etowah river, at the
ripe old age of seventy years. Death
was caused from a second attack of pai
alysis. She was one-fourth Cherokee In
dian. Her father, Daniel Davis, died
some years ago. She w’as regained by
all the Cherokee Indians east of the Mis
sissippi riyer as a person to whom they
could go for protection and advice, anu
in all their troubles she was the first one
they would consult. No person ever
went to her house and came away hun
gry. She will be sadly missed by many
poor families in her community, of
whom she was the principal support.
The deceased has many relatives in the
Cherokee nation, among which is Capt.
YVm. Penn Adair. Her plantation is one
of the finest in Lumpkin dounty. She
was a devoted member of the Methodist
church and leaves a host of relatives and
friends to mourn her demise. Tier re
