PAPA WON’T RON UNLESS HIS PARTY DEMANDS IT—WOULD RATHER Retlra—And That It U the Little Son of HU Smell Pepe Prates-:HerrUon le Friendly to Blaine—Hr. Arkell U the Writer at That Article. New York, May 30.—A special to the Sun from Chicago says: Benjamin Harrison will not be a can. dleate for the presidency of the United States In 1892. So says his son Russell. He came to Chicago Thursday, and was at tliq Auditorium hotel. Conversing with a group of state poli- ticians at that place, when he made the declaration. Hr. Harrison said his father would not be a candidate for re-election unless the party demanded It “Should the republican leaders insist upon it,” continued Russell, “then he will allow his name to go before the convention, but under no other circum stances " He certainly would not be a candidate if ho consulted his family. Personally he would rather retire to private life, but as an ardent party man be is willing to observe the wishes of the majority. Mr. Harrison said the relations be tween the president and Mr. Blaine wero exceedingly pleasant, and they were on the best of terms. In regard to the Frank Leslie articles, he said they wero printed without his knowledge, consent or authority. Ho believed they were written by Mr. Arkell. 1 Fought the Fight Over. Some days ago the sons of Mr. J. W. Castleberry and Mr. J. A. S. Perry met at Huntington and fought, for reasons presumably satisfactory to them. Yesterday the fathom of tho two young men came to Americus. Bad blood existed betweon them, and with Mr. J. A. S. Perry came l.is brother, Mr. W. J. Perry. They mot Mr. Castleberry near tho Alliance warcbouso about noon yesterday, and In somo way the old fued was brought up. In a short while the men had begun to light the light of a few days ago over again. It seems that both the Messrs, l’orry pitched into Sir. Castleberry. At this juncture Mr. Albert Brady took a hand and the light was general. Itlookod onco as If some one was going to be badly hurt but those who wero near soparatod the combatants as quickly as they could. All of the bel’igcronts wero badly bunged up, and there were two ugly gashes down the back of Mr. Cas tleberry’s coat, that being tho extent of tlie damage. Officer Barrow made a case against each of the parties named. Late last night The Timks-Rkcordkii was informed that the parties had met somewhere in the country, and that one of the Messrs. Perrry wa» badly hurt As careful an investigation as eould be mado. at that time failed to diaolose any foundation for thia report, however. On Two Charges* General Jackson, not General Andrew, but plain, ordinary, every day General, who la very black, ia wanted by the an- thorltles on two charges. The General was among the Ander- sonvllle excursionists yesterday. No sooner had he set foot on that hlstorlo ground than he began to play the. de voted to the wife of Ed Williams, also highly colored. When Ed gently remonstrated, Gen eral Jackson out with a pistol and at tempted to ahoot him. Forthwith Ed got hlS wife and came -to Amoricus and beforo Judge Pllsbury swore out a double action warrant charging General Jackson with carrying concealed weap ons and pointing a pistol at another. General ia discreetly remaining away, and now tlio officers aro after him. After Speer. Mr. W. A. Patrick, sheritf of Spalding county, arrived last night to identify W. B. Speer, the man whom Lieut. Whoeler arrested Friday on suspicion that he was tho party who shot and dangerouaiy wounded a member of the Griffin police force about a year ago. Lieut. Wheeler had ,caged the right man, and Sheriff Patrick left with Speer on the early train this morning for Griffin, where the prisoner will be made i suffer the penalty of his crime. When he was arreated Speer had a valise containing some clothes and two pistols, which have since been levied on satisfy a board bill which remained unpaid. ■ la a New Field. Dr. W. P. Burt has branched out on a brand new line. Yesterday he purchased the stock of Ur. D. B. Register, who runs the store near the Savannah, Amer icus and Montgomery depot, and to morrow he may bo numbered among tho merchants of Amerlcns. He will place Messrs. John Turpin and Lynn Bart in charge, and they will be glad to serve their many friends. With such capable ones In charge this business will be a success. Sam Owens might have outwitted bla two wlvks, but Troy Holder was top much for him, and he now languishes in the county jail at Lumpkin, thanks to Stewart county’s vigilant sheriff. Last Wednesday Sheriff Holder re ceived a telegram from a party In Co- lumbus which bore the Information that Owens might be found in Russell coun. ty, Alabama. It did’ not take Sheriff Holder long to arrive In Alabama, nor did it take him long to locate Owens, who gave him a chase to Anniston, where he was arrested Friday morning. Owens went to Birmingham, thence to Russell oounty, and from there to Annis ton where he was caught. He now rests In jail awaltlng trial for marrying one of Stewart's moat popular daughters, Miss Leila Morton, while h$ had a wife and four ohlldren. Sheriff Holder and hia prisoner reach ed Richland Friday night, and there Owens had a committal trial. Bond was assessed for him in the sum of $300 but he couldn’tgive it, so he was lodged behind prison walls to await trial. Owens was seen by a Times-Recordeii reporter to whom he strongly protested his innocence, though lie would have nothing else to say. He seemed indiffer ent to the charge made against him and expressed himself as “perfectly willing’’ to go to7jail and await the result of fur ther investigation and proof of his guilt. Mrs. Owens arrived at home yesterday accompanied by her brother. It Is said that she believes O wens innocent and that she says she will not bolieve any thing else until Ills guilt is established by the courts. The Club's Lut meetlnx. Last Thursday night “The Clnb” held ono of its largest and moat enthusiastic meetings at the delightful hum) of Mr. and Mrs. U. B Harrold. The ehrly part of the evening was de voted to social converse, nod tho ming ling of so many merry, laughing voices lent its own sweet charm to the happy scene. Sion after 9 o’clock the pro gram das opened by an exquisite piano solo front Prof. Kalor. Then followed tho exhibition of the Shakespoarean gallery, a beautiful display of twelve portraihLen tableau, representing that author am} several of Ids mist notable women. All those representations wero excellent; dritlclsm could ilnil no room for oxoreiso In this charming collection if portraits. Perhaps tho most beauti ful face <v.»s, at it shout'd have been, that of (Jloopatr.i. Helen also was very lovoly. Somo distinguishing grsae mark ed caoh representation and Invited muak longer inspection than was allow ed. Alt present regretted tlie closing of this lively and Interesting exhibition. After Another most onjoyable Interval of musty by Prof. Kaler and his assis tants, some of the best talent In the club presented an Interesting and laugh able fane, entitled “The Elevator.” The aotlng lathis part of thp program was uniformly excellent. All spoke without embarrassment, all acted with grace and spirit; og salient point was slurred or negleotyfl but maintained clearly and forcibly throughout. Unqualified praise was awarded the rendering of this oharado. The ease and grace of the ladies epgagsd were aspeoially marked. The Dream of Abou Ben Adhem was nex't presented in a very lovely and per- foct tableau. This was one of the most charming features of the evening’s en tertainment, and closed the program. Muslo again filled the spacious rooms, and amid Its stirring strains many of the club members exchanged their congratu lations and adiewing, while others re mained for a short dance and another hours enjoyment of the brilliant seeno. When the evening's pleasures were at last ended the happy participants all re turned to their homes with spirits re freshed, intellects quickened, hearts made better—persuaded . also that the club bad never enjoyed a more perfect meeting. * Will Talk tip Georgia* Maj.

The negro sat down and 1st the wound Meed for awhile and then went his way, as 11 nothing had happened. • Don't "Dnsl”—Booth Thought Ehorlojr Had RoHectod on n Young Lsdj nod Tried to Thrash Him—Sherley Throw Him Clear Ont of I>oors.
