At the regular August term D dge Superior Court there will j be a ca.-e tried, involving the or liberty of a man, which ! fair to attract a great deal of at ! tendon. Mr. Joshua Coffee will be the defendant, and the name his daughter, .Mrs. -Bryant, appears on the indictment, as the prosecutor. Several years ago Mr. Murdock Bryant was wedded to Mr. Cof j jv^'s daughter, after a brief -hip Shortly afterward an un pleasant feeling sprang up be tween the two men, which in time ' developed into a bitter hatred. ^ioun difliculties occurred be tween them, but it appears that none of them were attended with any very serious results. As the story goes threats to take the life ! of each other were made, and as a consequence both, as a rule, went pretty well armed. Both men were game, and consequently, the terrible result was tio surprise to those who knew them. The fatal day arrived about two years ago. Coffee and Bryant met by accident at. a point in Pond Town district. The quarrel was re newed, culminating in the death of Bryant, a ball having been, sent through his body by a rifle in the hands of Coffee. At the next term of 1)0(1 Superior Court Coffee v> ’ a i’idictcd for minder by the jury, ami, as before stated, the' name of his daughter, Brv ant’s wife,-appears on the bill as the prosecutor, Coifee cicajicd, and all efforts c aj)hire him were futile. Finally; however, to the surprise of’nearly everybody, he came to Eastman about two months ago and gave himself up to th© sheriff. On ap plication Judge Roberts granted him bond, fixing the amount at $5,000, which was promptly given. Col. L. A. Ilall has been em ployed by the defense, while Messrs. Be Lacy Bishop, E. Ilerr ni .111 aud E. A. Smith -will assist Solicitor-General Eason in the prosecution. A daughter prosecuting her fa t her for murder is something out of the usual order of the proceedings in the criminal courts,and the case v , ill no doubt attract a great deal of attention from this fact alone, , - ---- 7 — -:— _ , , n'm.

EAST MAX, GA., FRIDAY, JUNE 2S, 1889 CENTRAL BONDS PLACED. Tlie Five Million of Five Per Cent. Negotiated — How the Money Will lie Expended. Savannah, June 23.—The $5,000, 001 five per cent bonds for the Sa vannah and Western railroad have been placed in New York'and the money is now in the company’s treasury. The bonds are issued on the lines constructed bv the Central rail road on its Savannah and West ern division The proceeds of the bonds will be applied first to the payment of the floating debt in e U j. re( ] by the construction of the r oad. The remainder will be car ri ed in the treasury of the com r»any to be applied to’the construe tion of more branch lines if de cided upon bv the directors, or for ot j ler useg at 'their siu'-estion. General Manager Belknap stated to-day that the contract for the branch from Eden, twenty miles W est of Savannah, to Eastman, on t j, e jr q< y. £ Q will be let at once The extension from East riian to Americus will intersect the Georgia Southern and Florida near Oordele. The distance from Sa vannali to Americus-will Iiah be 175 m iles, and from Saw to Bir mimdiam 415. 7 A part of the Eden branch has been" traded and work will be pt1 shed ahead as rapidly as it can be handled, General Manager BelknaT) says. "—- The American Crocodile. The largest alligator ever cap lured in the waters of the Ocmul gee, was killed at White Bluff,one mile from Lumber City on Mon day last. He measured 1( i feet, supposed to be 20 years old. A man was fishing who had a dog with him. The dog ran a short distance up the bank and barked, man looked to see the cause the dog barking and saw the monster near the bank, and in an instant, with a flirt of his tail the monster threw the dog into his immense jaws and swallowed him and went into the stream. The next day the fisherman returned and carried another dog with him and made it bark, and in a few seconds the reptile made his appearance, coming from the opposite side of the river, and just as he was about to land the fisher man shot liirn in the eye with a wincheser rifle killing him in gtant j v With assistance he sue ce<? ^ in getling him ashore and brought him to town. The oldest fishermen say it was the largest ever captured in these parts. ; jjj the rivers,creeks , and , ponds , around , here and are captured quite ofter, hut only those of medium size, The mate of this monster is yet at large. Wc did not learn his weight, nor the number of gal Ions of oil t hey K ot from him. A Pleasant Occasion.

The exercises were interspersed with vocal solos by Misses Gene vive Bussev, Lilia Lamb, Fidelia Mullin and Pauline Harrison. Three of these young ladies have been m .tier the instruction of Mrs. A.

In all the relations of life he was a man, as a member the benevolent institutions of Ins country, in his political connec (ions, as a citizen and as a Chris tian he was faithful to all of his espousals. In his order, his party, his eountry and his faith, in their prosperity and adversity, taeir bright day and cloudy day he was the * same true brother, warm triend, zealous patriot and unvea rving Christian. His last public service was as delegate to the Con stitutional Convention of 1877. His business capacity and abil- . it y enabled him to surround him- 3e lf with the comforts of this hte. He was the largest planter in this section of the State, owning eigh ty-two negroes, the value of which he lost by the results of the war. He left a handsome patrimony to his surviving children.

HODGE GOGN r\ JOURNAL, isS.-.t W 00 LF 0 LK IS GUILTY SO DECLARES THE .JURY WHICH HAS TRIED HIM. THE MURDERER'S ..SECOND TRIAL, The (’asp Brought to a (lose, and the Jury Agrees After n Ten Situates Consultation — Rutherford's Opinion. Perry, Ga., June 25.—Antiei pating the culmination of jhis g rea t trial, the court room was filled early this morning, interest being up to the highest point, More ladies than any other time occupied front seat sin the' audi torium. Two large boquets of flowers, complimentary to Mr. Guerry, were on the table near | u - |n# Before court opened Tom appeared paler than usual, with dejection unmistakably shown in jfi s countenance. At 8:32 the court opened, and Mr. Guerry at once resumed his argument in do fey-ence to the fact that the jurors wore already fatigued with the in¬ vestigation. He emphasized bis desire that they should remember jj te evedence, and apply it in ac cordance with the law applicable to the case. Referring to the ex c jt em ent, at the scene of the mur der, he declared that nothing in the evidence disclosed a threat or a n act of violence against Tom Wool folk, though he was removed from the crowd as an act of can lion and prudence. In contradic tion to the argument of defense that the coroner’s jury was organ J^ed to try Tom, he asserted that they investigatedjthe killing to de- 1 ermine toward whom the suspi cions circumstances pointed. In combatting the theory of the de fense that more than one did the lulling, he eloquently asserted that Tom’s statement contradicted that idea, in that the attack had been made in one room only, and logically argued that attack would j iave simultaneously been made in Tom’s room, and he would have been one of the first victims. But ono weapon, one suit of under clothes were found. He declared ju a. > “w- 1 no other person would lia\e tried to erase the blood stains. In Joms room one Hack only WHS- found, and none leaving the house, as would have been had the murder ers fled, as Tom’s statement de dared. In handling the ax to il lustrate that one man could have done the foul deed, his eloquent portrayal drew tears to the eyes of jurors and auditors. Herediculed the idea that any circumstance di reeled suspicion to to Jack Bu bose , or any nogro on the place. , In f referring to the testimony of Nancy Bird, her full impeachment was shown, and in the keenest irony he spoke of the highest regard in which Co y 1 Rutherford held her eviilty* -A and referred to Col onel Rutherford’s denunciation of Bone Davis for sending his mother from his house, he quoted from the Bible the 10th chapter of Mark: mi “God then made male and j female. For this cause shall a man leave mother and father, and cleave-to his wife, and they twain I | shall be one flesh.” A choice be lween mother and wife as a life companion. Continuing, he de voted himself particularly to Col onel Rutherford’s argument, at tacking and defending as required at all times logical,often sublimely eloquent, and at times cutting deep with sarcasm. He listened the defense’s attack on O’Conner to the fellow in the Georgia Scenes caught in an imaginary fight. They could tear him up if need be. At 12 o’clock recess was ordered to 3:30, with a request from the court j that defense be ready with their requests for special charges, ex-1 | pressed in writing. Continuing j u || ie afternoon Mr. Guerry pass- | od to a conclusion, at 4:20, ending the final argument, having spoken « ^urs and 36 minutes. ' “I hope and pray he may make peace with his Maker and prepare iGr the ,, great , chdii , e to , come. ,,, >>< j 0 ask nothing in the spirit of ven seance; simply ask that you, gen glemen of the jury, rise up in your ciety majesty and as the representatives country. 11 ^of t- ask so , e the just performance of your duty.
