( n attanooga, Tenn., April 19. —A horrible

sonous gases arose and no one dared to venture
w here the body of the unfortunate was laying on
a slope. A few days since all the cats in the en
tire neighborhood disappeared, and jesterday it
was found they had entered the mines and
w ere feasting on the miner’s body. To-day, by
means of turpentine halls, it was seen that the
ferocious felines had devoured the body.

never knew or ever suspected his infidelities
until she was informed of hisdeath.
Atlanta, April 17.—Watchman Hendrick of

Foundry street crossing, found Charles about 6
o’clock this morning trying to force his way into

the hatchet, but Hendrick wrested the weapon
from him. The negro, however, bit him se
verely on his hand. Four negro men attempted
to rescue Charley, but he was secured in Sharp’s
drug store until Officer Clarke could be tele
phoned for at the station. The young burglar
had in his pocket three cab keys, and it tnrned
out he had been engaged for months in systemat

Among the articles stolen was a 520 overcoat.

Martin Irons and several other members of

St. Louis were indicted by the Grand jury Fri
day on the charge of tampering with telegraph
wires for the purpese of stealing Mr. Gould’s
private dispatches, The witness against them
is a telegraph operator named McKiegliam who
had previously told verv conflicting stories
about the matter. One story was; thrt he had
been hired by the Missouri Pacific officials to in
duce Irons and other Knights, if possible, to vio
late the law by tampering with the
wires. The Knights are accumulating
money with which to support the strikers dur
ing the continuance of the struggle. They are
also devising various plans, with the aid of their
counsel, for making a vigorous and agressive
fight within legal limits against the railroads
concerned.
Madkid, April 18.—This morning, while the
Bishop of Madrid was ascending the steps lead
ing to the entrance of the Cathedral, he was
shot with a revolver by a priest standing at the
top of the steps, the ball entering his abdomen.
This was followed by another shot from the same
source, wnich wounded the Bishop in the side,
whereupon the wounded man fell on the steps.
The priest then descended the steps and fired
still another shot, which took effect in the Bish
op’s thigh. The priest was then seized, putting
a stop to his murderous work, and his victim
was borne in an unconscious condition to a pri
vate chamber in the cathedral, where the last
sacraments for the dying were administered to
him. It being Palm Sunday, the cathedral was
more than usually crowded by worshipers,
and when the fearful work of the priest was re
alized a furious mob followed the carriage in
which he was conveyed to prison bygan diarm,
whose presence alone prevented the lynching of
the would-be murderer. The motive for the
crime was revenge. The man who lired
the shots was recently dismissed from the
priesthood, and had fruitlessly applied to the
Bishop to be reinstated. Queen Christina has
inquired as to the Bishop’s condition. The
Pope has telegraphed his blessings. The
Bishop is still alive. The priest has made an
attempt to commit suicide.

State Road Betterments.
Some time ago the carshed at Dalton
was burned to the ground. The W. &
A. authorities replaced a depot that
seems to be the source of much dissatis
faction among the Dalton people, 'they
claim that it is a too shabby affair for so
Important a town. A citizen dropped a
line or so to Gov. brown in regard to
the matter who replied in a very lengthy
letter, a part of which we reproduce:
Dear Sir — I have your letter, written
on Col. Trammell’s letter, in reference
to the depot at your place. Probably
you have not considered all the facts.
You should bear in mind that the West
ern and Atlantic Railroad company has
no guarantee from the State that it will
get anything at the end of the lease for
betterments. We have expended over a
million of dollars in betterments; that
is, in improvements of the road to make
it’that much better than it was when we
received it. When we go to turn it back
to the State, the State will get the ben
efit of this vast expenditure, and it
would be at her option whether she pays
us anything at all. In that state of the
case, we cannot continue to make im
provements. For instance, where we
have put a flue bridge, costing a large
sum, in place of an old wooden one, we
get no compensation, and all we could do
would be to set that off against some oth
er part of road that might not be as good
as it was when we got charge of it.
Probably we cannot find such a place on
the road. __
All-Cotton Farmers.
From wh it we can gather we are of the
opinion that a great deal less cotton than
usual will be planted this season. A
great many have found out to their loss
that it will not pay to raise the fleecy
staple. And they have found out that if
the attention that is paid to the cotton is
transferred to the cereals and stock rais
ing their cash account would stand out in
bloder relief at the end of the year. It takes
about fourteen months in the year to
make cotton, besides an immense amount
of high-priced fertilizers. Several of
our farmers are testing the matter fully
this year for their own satisfaction. Sev
eral have desisted some time ago, au evi
dence of that fact being the number of
wagon-loads of corn that is brought to
this market every day. f ‘ffog aud homi
ny” seems to be the watchword of the
average farmer in this county at the pres
ent writing. So mote it be.
From the Macon Telegraph we see that
a dispatch has been received from Gener
al Gordon on the subject of his candidacy.
From what can be learned it confirms the
report that he has an address prepared
for publication, but cautions his friends
to have a little patience. If it comes out
at all, it will be given them between this
and the first of May. The address is in
the possession of one of the Gordon
boomers in Atlanta who is anxious to see
it in print.
Col’s R. T. Fouche and Linton Dean,

This is Floyd’s time according to the

President Grover Cleveland is to

Bacon and ’simmons still remain the

Georgia, but somehow or other, they do
not boil well together.

RETROSPECTIVE.
After a toilsome week’s work, repair
ing the ravages of the late freshet and
the hurry of a delayed planting, who
does not hail with gladness Saturday
night as offering a harbinger of quiet
and rest? Who does not like to throw
off the old plow shoes, wash off the dust
of the field, change linen and return to
his sanctum with a consciousness that
the week’s work has been faithfully per
formed. We love on such occasions, af
ter refreshing ourselves with a good,
warm supper, to take a seat ia the old
arm chair, draw up the table with its
lamp and its week’s accumulation of pa
pers, light our pipe and forget our cares
as we read of what the world is saying
and doing. We were thus occupied last
Saturday night when, becoming weary
of even this delectable enjoyment, we
threw down the paper and in a half-doz
ing mood indulged in reveries over our
pipe. How long we were thus engaged
we know not. We simply know that
tired nature asserted her claims and
moved off to sleep and dreamland. We
were wafted back in a moment’s time
over a decade of years by this mysterious
power of the mind and placed on the
shady old play ground in companionship
with the light-hearted, joyous, rollicking
companions of our youth.
Again the Hon. Alexander N. Wilson
(now postmaster of Savannah) held the
birchen rod and with imperious sway
guided us over the unplowed fields of
knowledge. Again that same birch m
rod dusted the jackets of John Branson,
Bob Headden, Lyman Chapman, Jim
Gilreath, Miller Wright, John Cobb and
others—and Branson boasting of his sa
gacity over his wincing companions
rings in our ears, as he triumphantly dis
played the sheepskin under his shirt, that
he always wore, he said, in expectation
ot such a catastrophe. The school bell
tingles, play time is announced and again
the wide spreading oaks shelter with
their shade, groups of boys busily eating
and dispensing the generous lepasts from
buckets and baskets. Then comes the
hotly contested game of town ball. Bill
Wright, the last in the hole and cham
pion of his side, is at the bat, a “low
ball is called, a strike is made, and the
ball whizzing skyward over the head
ot the fielders. Bill Russell, the cham
pion of the outs, with the fleetness of a
deer, follows the flying ball and in its
descent catches it on the bound. Then
cotnes the victorious shout of the parties,
change position for another game. Other
groups occupy places a little distant,
plaj’ing for “sweepstakes.” Headden
and Latimer are initiating the small fry,
such as Cooby Cobb, Elam Christian,
, Ben Mountcastleand a host of others into
the mysteries of loss and gain, and oh!
how the little fellows wince as they dive
deep down in their pockets for their last
stake and evidence by their demeanor,
they have learned at least one-half of the
rule. While yet other groups occupy
seats under the trees and in busy con
verse, free and unrestrained, seem ob
livious to the holly contested games
enacted around them.
The bell rings; I awake —regretful that
more of my life could not be a dream.
For an hour or more we reflect and rumi
nate over the mystic scene the vision had
called from out the past again, and tried
to trace the lives and acts ot ih 1 compan
ions ot our boyish days. Some of them
we know, years ago, answered the last
roll call on earth, having freely poured
out their life blood on the battlefields of
the south in defense of their country and
in illustration of southern chiyalry.
Others are gallantly bearing the banner
of the cross; some are representatives in
the counsels of State, while others are
model business men, and all, with but
few exceptions, have followed where du
ty called and honor led. Glorious old
boys of the past, honorable men of the
present, gallantly may you complete the
duties of life and at last may your barks
be safely moored in the haven of perpet
ual rest. Buncomp.

EUHARLEE FARMERS’ CLUB.
Dear Courant; Our secretary prom
ised you a report of our monthly meet
ings, the same having been inadvertedly
neglected by our reporter, who has re
signed, and as your correspondent has
been appointed to fill the vacancy, he
will commence his report with our March
meeting, which was held at Mr, J. R.
Hammond’s on the second Saturday.
We had an interesting meeting. Two
newly elected members, J. W. Brinsfield
and Nick Adams, presented themselves,
heard the constitution find fiy-laws read,
and enrolled their names.
Uncle Feter Hammond, one of the
17th’s solid farmers, was present and in
vited to, and accepted a seat with our
body. The subject discussed—“ The
Grasses,” was one of interest, and ably
handled by the different members, and
elicited much valuable information, ft
being our annual election day for officers,
the election was held and resulted as fol
lows: G. A. Fink re-elected president,
J. E. Dodd vice-president and H. li.
Milam re-elected Secretary and Treasurer.
The president then proceeded to appoint
the standing committee, whose duty it is
to assign oanh ujember some particular
crop as an patch,, These
experimental patches have proven a
source of much benefit to tfie members,
by introducing new varieties of crops
and attaining perfection in them.
The last of ttie reports on premium coL
ton, for last year, were handed in, and
it was ascertained that President Fink
was the successful competitor—he having
made 667 lbs. of lint from one acre. The
club has decided to compete on ten acres
this year and give a first and second pre
mium.
Mrs. Hamuioud spread a most sumpt
uous dinner, to which ample justice was
done,
Qn tfie second Saturday our April
meeting was held at ifr. Adams in
Stilesboro. In consequence of tfie late
freshet having carried off all the bridges
on Euharlee creek, making it difficult to
get there, we did not have a full meeting.
The President called the body to order
and the Secretary called the roll, when
all answered to their names but three.
After reading and confirming the min
utes of our last meeting, the various com
mittees submitted their reports, all of
which were adopted.
The subject for discussion was, “Inten
sive Farming.” One ot our new mem
bers had misunderstood the subject, and
as he had ben appointed to open the dis
cussion, had prepared himself to give us
a spread eagle speech on “Extensive
Farming,” which he was extensively
urged to do, but from which lie intensely
begged to be excused. Our next subject
is ‘Diversified Farming.” Those who
were absent at our last meeting will
please bear it in mind.
We found every tiling about about Mr.
Adams’ premises in “apple pie” order.
He is a young farmer, just starting out
in life, full of energy and perseverance,
and is destined to make his mark.
I tear I am getting too lengthy for your
valuable space—though I have tried to
be brief, but you must bear with me un
til l can sav a word about Mrs. Adams’
good dinner. This estimable lady came
from a family who are roted for their
proficiency in the culinary art, and judg
ing from the splendid dinner to which
we were invited, she is an adept. It is
needless to say that each acted well his
part, and that all appreciated Mrs.
Adams’ hospitable entertainment.
In consequence of the delay in farming
operations, caused by the recent rains, it
was decided to omit the May meeting.
The next meeting will be held at the
Presidont’s house, on the second Saturday
in June.

The Methodists speak of organizing one

The neighborhood will hardly sustain

I think the Methodists should have theirs
in the evening. Ido not mean to offend
any one by my advice, but I haye known
just such a state of affairs to do more
harm than good. There should always
be harmony and unity in such matters.
I have just learned that Mrs. Boston is
much worse and is nqt likely to recover.
I trust she may be sustained by God’s

HUNNICUTT’S
RHEUMATIC
CURE.
“ PRESTO ! CHANCE ! ” Judge Pullum Says:
‘‘The Effect Is Magical!”
Judge Thomas Pullum said last week in the presence of a reporter:
“My wife had been for many years a constant sulTerer from rheumatism, Her joints were swol
len and distorted, great knots had formed upon her hands. She could only with great difficulty
and pain manage to walk, and was a constant sufferer from this dreadful disease. V/e tried
everything we could road or hoar of, and took advice of eminent practitioners without any benefit
in the way of permanent relief. I was induced to try Hunuieutt’s Rheumatic (Jure a short time ago,
although I had lost faith in patent medicines ami nostrums, and considered her case incurable,
OThe effect was magical; the pains have entirely vanished; the swelling and distortion of her

A TERRIBLE SIGHT.
The Cyclone’s Track of Death and Devas
tation.
St. Cloud, Minn., April 10.—Parties
searching for the dead and missing are
out, and evidence of the devastation
caused by the cyclone is accumulating.
House were scattered like chalf. The
earth was plowed up in the line of the
cyclone, and the path over whieh it
passed, to a width of nearly a quarter of
a mile, looks as though it had been up
heavetl by a terrible volcanic eruption.
The scene defies description. In the
track of the cyclone stood the Manitobia
freight house, and cars filled with
freight. Down on them the whirlwind
pounced, and grasping the heavy cars,
lifted from the tracks and east them to
pieces in a shapeless mass. The iron
rails were torn from the ties and twisted
like the smallest wires. Telegraph poles
were torn up and the wires twirled into
curious masses. The freight house was
totally wrecked. The roof was lifted and
blown several hundred feet. The ears
next succumbed, and over $.‘1,000 worth
of freight was whirled through the air
and thrown into heaps and scattered by
piecemeal over an area of a quarter of a
mile. Doctors and nurses from all parts
of the State are here, doing all they can
for the relief of the victims.
The scene in the hospital is heatrend
ing. Men, women, and children are ly
ing in broken shapes, bathed in their
own blood, faces blackened and grimy,
arms and legs broken, scalps torn and
bodies lacerated. The scene at the en
gine house is a more horrible one. Eigh
teen lifeless bodies are stretched on the
floor in two row's, draped in sheets and
blankets while around them yesterday
moved men with lanterns, uncovering
faces, trying to recognize in the distorted
figures some familiar line in which they
might trace relationship. The bodies
present a terrible spectacle. The clothes
they had worn w'ere torn Into shreds,
their face were black with dust, and
gravel was ground into the cheeks; while
the scalps were torn and blood still tlow
ed from gaping wounds and covered the
floor. Skulls were crushed, eyes torn
from their sockets and tongues protruded
from between lips that were cruelly cut
and mutilated.
Just enough houses are left in Sauk
Rapids to form a fringe around the vil
lage limits. The debris Is not piled in
heaps, but scattered far and wide. The
sign “Sauk Rapids” in the Manitobia de
pot, and a basketful, of books was found
in Rice Station, fifteen miles distant.
This shows the terrible power of the
storm. No reports have yet been receiv
ed from outlying districts, where it is be
lieved great destruction of property and
loss of life has been wrought. The storm
extended from Jamestown, Dak., through
Minnesota and into Wisconsin, though
its most disastrous effect are to be found
in the three places first named.
St. Cloud, April 17.—An accurate
account of the killed and injured by the
cyclone is as follows: St. Cloud, killed
21, injured 100; Rice’s station, killed
12. Total killed 73, injured 213. The
death of Edwin G. Hulbert to-day makes
the total number of dead 74.
