Dawson, Nov. 25.—Rufus Mc Lendon, colored proprietor of tbe Arto«ian Hotel, died yesterday at 8 o’clock, p. m. He was getting old, and had two pretty severe spells of sickness, recently; took a very severo cold, with the above result. Ho was father of Isbam McLendon, of the Allen House, of your city, and was very much re Bpected by. white and colored. He will be interred at 3 o’clock this afternoon at tbe colored Methodist cemetery. List Thursday night the people of Dover gave a festival to raise funds to improve the Methodist church at that place. It resulted in a tolerably fsir turnout; “oodles" of fun for the young people and about forty dollars in cash. The finest cake was voted to the pretti est young lady present, nnd was won by Miss Tab McKelier, of Ohickusawliatcbeo. Tho festival at Bronwood on Fri day night last was a decided suc cess. Messrs. Itaincy and Greer, nnd Misses Beulah, Claude Farrar and Alice Dozier represented Daw son, nnd they report a good time generally. As it was gotten up for the benefit of the church, the good people ot Bronwood would not al low any rofl!ing,but sold the cakes to tbo highest bidders. They brouglit good prices, and the festi val netted the neat little sum of *56.70. Wo had ajiuo rain here Saturday night and Sunday morning for tho first in many days. It laid the dust, purified the atmosphere, and made everybody (oily. We are now having frost and ico plenty, and many fine hogs are dying in the community without the aid of cholera. Judge G. M. Stokes, of Leesburg, was in our city yesterday. Mrs. Dr. R. B. Rives and her daughter, Miss Maud, formerly of this county, now of Pelham, Go. arc on a visit to Col. Hoyl’s family in this city. Mrs. Winnio Hurt,of Huitsboro, Ala., is on n visit to her sister, Mrs. T. R. Thornton. And last, if not least, your senior editor, Mr. W. L. Qlcssncr, of Americas, is here, taking in our town, looking after his old sub scribers and adding a number of new ones to his list. Long may he wave I J. A. F. THE COLORED MASS MEETING Kchlejr Negroes Nominal* a Ticks!-* Tns Hall road Is PiOgrssslug. Kllavili.e, Nov. 24 There was a big gathering of negroes at tbo court house Saturday. We inquir ed of several before the meeting was called to order the object ol it, and invariably received the an swer, “I dunno, sir.” The meeting was organized by electing Emanuel Greene (col.) President, and Wm. Wallace (col.) Secretary. Eman- uel explained, the objcctUf the meeting. He said in substance, that the negroes had been voting since 1866, and that they had never been voted for; that they bad been fed on promis.-s from their Repub lican friends and that it was very iiulit diet; that the Democratic parly had p omised equal rights to ali and that they proposed to tost their faith by their words; that the negroes in this county wanted a few minor ollices, such as Coroner nnd Commissioners of Roads and Revenue; that they wanted a show at the jury Lor so that they could serve os jurors, and as Cleveland was elected ho felt suio that bis while friends would now bo Willing to divide with the negro. He urged the negroes to be united in their support of Republicans. He also assured them that the report of negroes being put in bondage was false. Ue added that be fiought that tbe white people did not went then) In bondage again, aa that they had to pay their own bills for clothing, eto., and had to work as hard as they over did. It seems strange that they ask Democrats for office when they vote against them every opportu nity. It is deoidedly cheeky, anyway. Wo have but one white man in the county that votes the Republican ticket, an I he oould not vote for Bell, while we have several negroes who have alway* voted tho Democratio ticket. The negroes nominated Peter Moyer (col.) and Emanuel Greene (col.) for County Commissioners, and William Wallace (col.) for Coroner. This 1b tbe first time that a nomi nation has been made by them for county offices. It was expected that they would indorse some who are candidates for other county offices, bnt this they failed to do. Two negroes from Americus made speeches lor candidates, but the effect will uot be knowd till later. Our little village is full of life and vim. Mr. W. C. Singleton conductor on tho Buena VUta railroad, married Miss Anna Lump kin, Sunday, at the residence of Judge U. H. Singletary. May their fondest anticipations bo fully realized. Miss Emmie Hornady, of Ogle thorpe, and Misses Mary and Leila Hornady are visiting . udgo B. A Strange’s family. Maj. E. S. Baldwin tendered his resignation as depot agent at this place last Friday, to take effect today. No appointment to fill the vacanoy has been made yet. J udge Lowe and Mr. Harvey, of Buena Yista, are in town to-day, in tho Interest of the B. V. R. R. Track laying will commence again this week, and the road will be finished to Buena Yista by Christ mas. Eugene Dixon was made happy a few days ago. “’Twas a boy.” R. M.»Murpby has sold out his stock of goods to W. A. Daniel. Success to Billie. A pretty good rain Sunday night caused us all to rejoice. X. AX jERONAUPH FALL. HANGED BY A SINGLE HAIR. BspUsstUs of ths Exscullnw of Wsslslsvvsky la Callforals, An explanation of tho hanging of tbe murderer Wasielewsky, at San Jose, by means of a single hair, says tho San Francisco Bulle tin, is ns follows: Ths gallows trap on wbioh tbe condemned stood had double doors, swinging from tbe centre to both sides. Theso doors, constituting tbe trap, were held in position so as to form a part of the platform of the gallows by a spring bolt. This bolt was sprung, thus opening the man-weighted trap by tbo failing of a 14-pound weight. This weight was snspended by a small cord, which camo up to tbe rail on tbe gallows, hack of tbe condemned. Tbe cord, instead of being at once and simply fastened, was wound around a “barrel.” This “barrel” was lying in a horizontal position, parallel with the rail, and held a lew Inches above it by up right supports at either end. The cord holding the weight was wound around the barrel until tbe resisting power of the friction almost held the weight. This “almost” was ai rived at by previous experiments, until it was reduced to such a fine point that tho additional strength of a single hair was enough to sus pend the weight; or, more properly, pievent tho cord from slipping. One end of tho hair was fastened to the cord and tbo other end to a screw driven in tho barrel. When the hair was cut the cord slipped around the barrel, the 14-pound weight dropped 10 feet, springing the trap-bolt, and Wasielewsky shot through tbe opening. It is said that Judge Belden, who tried Wasielewsky, suggested this peculiar abeme of retributive jus tice, but the details were worked out by Sheriff Branham. The hair which was used came from a lock of the murdered woman’s hair.

She is a pnpil of Prof. J. N. Fisk, and this was ber second ascension, tbe first occurring at the Marion, Alabama, fair last week, the fair aeronaut mounted to about 9,0M feet in the air and waved a greet ing from tbe clouds to the palpitat ing people below. Knowing she was a novice the crowd rent the air with cheers and elapped their hands in apptaastfof ber nerve, and saw with feeling of reliefs tbe great air monster begin a alow descent, for tbe tension of expectant anxiety lest something should happen to her was at its highest Slowly the balloon camo down. Hovering In indecision, it seemed like a bird in the air looking for a place to light, and then, with a more rapid move ment, went onward and downward toward a clump of trees. PLUNOINO THROUGH TBI AM. , Whether Miss Lebnrehe lost ber balance or ber bead la not positive ly known, but when the balloon was about half a mile from the starting point, and yet a consider able distance from the ground, the crowd of gazers was appalled to see her leave the slender trapeze bar on which she eat, and the balloon proceed without her. She was visi ble between the earth and sky the fragment of a second, ana tbe screams of the women and ohildrea foreshadowed an awful fate for her. People froq all directions followed- the course the balloon had taken, and soon the fair ground* was emptied of the sympathising and horror-stricken women and chil dren. Arriving at the scene the poor girl was found stunned from tho shook, but strange to say with no bones broken. Physicians ware quickly in attendance and adminis tered morphine hypodermically to ease her suffering, when she was taken to a hotel in the olty, where she now lingers under the influence of drugs. The extent of her Inju ries have not been developed yet. CLEVELAND’S TOTE IN GEORGIA. Haw Iki Inin Slate ml tha Seatk Balia* Up Har Majarllp. All tbe returns from the various counties are in, and tbe secretary or stale has completed tbe coant. The democratio majority forOIeve- lai-d and Hendrieks foots up 46,- 964. Tbe first man on tbe demo cratic ticket, Judge George N. Les ter, received 94,567, and tbe firet man on tbe republican ticket Mr. Jonathan Norms*, 47,603 making a total vote of 142,170. The elec tors on hoth tickets were voted for with very little sorstehtng, and one hundred vote* dlfferenct does not exist between the bead and tall of either ticket. St John receiv ed only 184 votes in the entire State and Ben Bailor 125. Tbl* shows that even in a certainly democratio State neither party can be easily drawn off to side issues Electoral tickets were in tbe field for both- St. John and Butler. The people who pat eut the St John ticket claim that their printed tickets did not reach the polling placet of the State In time for the election. Cleveland's majority would have been greater, but there was no issue over tbe Gubernatorial election to call out the democrats. ACABD.
