The Griffin boys are noble competitors,

is 14 karat gold, and tho whole costs

can order fiuo, medium or coarse. Writo

STARVED OUT!
THE CABINS DISTRICT MUHDEBEB
. BUN DOWN.
After Doing YTllhoat loed for Three
Day* lie Is Brought to Griffin
and Jelled,
Yessterday morning about 8
o’clock a large, strong looking negro
approached the cabin of Henry
Mitchell, on John U. Mitchell’s
plantation, and asked for breakfast,
stating that he Had been with
out food for three days. This
statement, together with his appear
ance, excited the suspicions of tbe
inhabitants of the cabin, seeing
which tbe negro pnt out, closely fol
lowed by several colored laborers,
who happened to bo armed. The
race was a tight one, the fugitive
being a good runner; but as fast as
the ranks of the pursuers were de
pleted by exhaustion other negroes
in the fields were called in by the
hue and cry, and the man was over
taken near William Bryce's place,
some two miles east of where be
started, He was brought leisurely
back toward town, after having been
placed iu the Lands of C. B. Bost
wick and JoLn Mitchell, and was
lodged in jail early yesterday after
noon. Messrs. Boswick and Mitchell
were accompained by tho colored
man, Andrew Floyd, the principal
witness at the Coroner's inquest, who
identifies tbe captured party as the
same man who was seen with tbe
dead boy a few minutes before the
murder on Monday morning, al
though his long tail coat was gone.
Tho prisoner gives his name now
as Albert Mazure^althongh be first
gave another name, and says he has
been working on tbe Covington &
Macon Road, under Capt. Scott.
This confirms tho snpposition that
he was a railroad hand. The com
mitment trial will be held before
Squire Collens on Monday.
“In the Hand* of Onr Friend’s.”
“Muggins,” the Double Cabin’s
correspondent cf the Henry County
Weekly, makes this personal men
tion in writing to his paper thiB
week:
“Mr. Editor, it will soon be time
to send delegates to Atlanta to the
State convention to elect delegates
to the National convention at St-
Louis. Our Fifth Congressional
District is entitled to two votes in
tbe convention at St. Louis, and we
put in nomination for one of these
tbe name of Mr. D Glessner, of tbe
Griffin News. A more desirable
man can’t be found in the Fifth Dis
trict. He has done more for tbe
Democratic party than any one in
our district, and we hope Mr. tiless
ner will be sent to St. Louis as a dele
gate. The people of Spalding will
send him to the convention in At
lunta, and that convention can’t do
no better than to send him to the
National convention. Mr. Glessner
is a solid Democrat, and through bis
paper, the Griffis News, has advo
cated aud defend democracy, and he
should be sent to St. Lonis.”
Upon this the Weekly kindly
makes the following editorial com
ment:
“Mugging ” endorses Col. Doug
las Glessner, of tbe Griffin News,
as one of the delegates from the
Fifth Congressional District to tho
National Democratic convention at
St. Louis. This suits our idea of
propriety <.zactlj. and we think it
but a just acknowledgment of the
many services rendered the party by
Col. Glessner. While we endorse
Col. Glessner in unqualified terms
we have a nomination to make in
this connection: Send Col. Glessner
from Spalding and Col. Emmet
Womack from Newton. Womack is
a good Democrat, and one who de
serves weH at the hands of tbe
party. Let ns send these two cole
brates ”
Artificial Ageing of Whisky.
A way baa been found of ageing
whisky artificially. A dealer showed the
writer two samples of what he called the
“straight’’ article; one was made in
1885, the other in July, 1887. They
were equally good, he said, In color, bou¬
quet. taste and every other quality, and
yet the 1887 sample was sold at f 10 less
a the barrel whisky than makers the other. In other words, |
can now furnish a
three montlis’ article equal in every re¬
spect to that which is three years old.
By this process they save the three
years’ storage, interest and evaporation.
The purchaser generally gets the benefit
of this. The new process consists briefly
of rocking the barrels day and night on
patented “cradles.” Charred barrels are
used, as is customary—that is to say, the
barrel is burned out before the whisky is
put in, thus converting the inner surface
into charcoal. The constant motion for
three months dissipates the fusel oil and
imparts the rich color w hich new whisky
has hitherto never had legitimately.—

Cause or Decay la Steel.
It has recently been discovered by a
board of naval experts at the United States
navy yard, Mare’s Island, Cal., that the
of the sudden deterioration in the
steel used in building the new cruisers
tat the government is not due to the
ravages of a worm, as was supposed,
but is caused by the fungus peronosporus of
tnfrutnnn, so well known as tbe cause
potato rot. procured
With the delicate apparatus the quali¬
by the government for testing
ties and detecting fraud in metals in¬
tended for government uses, it has been
ascertained that the minute spoils or suds,
which float in the air, are introduced into
the metallic body while in the molten
state during the process of carbonization.
They also find that this form of steel rot
is alarmingly epidemic in much of tbe
government material.
A large and profitable field is open to
inventors and scientific men who will do-
vise means to arrest the spores of this
fungus as they are drawn into the car¬
bonizing furnaces, or who can prevent
their growth and spread either in the
ingot or manufactured forms of steel.—

Wild Silkworms of India.
For a number of years the deficiency
in the production of mulberry silk has
drawn the attention of sericulturists to
the rearing of the wild silkworms of
India, China, Japan, America and other
parts, and a great many reports have
been published on these wild silkworms,
some of w’uch are already bred in a
state of domesticity or semi-domesticity.
Many of these wild silkworms produce
siFk of great strength and beauty, and
could all be profitably utilized if bred in
their native lands on a large scale. Speci¬
men cocoons and carded and reeled silks
of about twenty different species have
been sent to the Societe d’Acclimatation,
and they will bo exhibited in the Paris
International exliibition of 1889, together
with the specimens of the moths and
prepared larva? of the various specie*.—
