THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER: FRIDAY, AUGUST 7, isiU. A STYLISH TURNOUT. Mere. N. O. and J. K. Prince'. Lateit Addition In the Carriage Line. There are some feature* of city life in which oar town is even up with jnucli larger places. Conspicuous in this direction is the livery service of Messrs. N. G. ami J. K. Prince. In their line- sale, livery and feed stable—they can not be excelled in the state. And no one in tho business anywhere takes more pride in giving satisfaction to their patrons than tho Prince Brothers. To do this, of course they have to keep abreast of the times in regard to animals, vehicles, and everything pertaining to a first-class livery stable. Their latest addition appeared on our streets yesterday morning, In tho sbnpo of what might be called a triple-seated surrey wagon, oiparriage. This splen did vehicle comes,from one of tho best coach factories in the United States, the Landis Coach Works, Mount Joy, Pa. 1 The Messrs. Prince have been dealing with Mr. Landis for twenty years, and they speak of him in the highest terms, claiming that hoturns out the straiglit- est goods in his line of any firm in the country. This latest addition to the Prince stables is as handsomo a turnout as any one could wish. It will accommodate six persons comfortably, and, as it ap peared yesterday, drawn by a splendid team of golden-crcnm horses, it was something of which any man would be prond. To those who havo never visited the Prince stables, it is only necessary to say that they should lose no time in do ing so. If a man is fond of a fine animal or a solid vehicle of any kind, this is the place to gratify that excellent taste. When our expected tide of northen travel strikes Americus next fall and winter, there will be one firm ready to supply something which is almost indis pensable in onr city—a good horse and carriage, or a team and vehicle of any kind.

For Which Ho Will Hon*, to the Fless- ure of Other Darkles. Savannah, Aug. Albert Morea, alias Albert Morea Kitchen, the double, if not tripplo wife murderer, will expi ate bis crimes on the gallows on Sept. 18. HU trial came off here, and was one of the quickest pieces of legal work on record in Chatham county. At 11:15 o'clock a. in., the jury wps secured. At 8 minutes past 1 o’clock the jury re tired. At 2:21 o'clock p. m. the jury rendered its verdict, and at 8:8ft o’clock p. m. Judge Falligant sentenced the negro to death. Kitchen acknowledged that he was Morea. He acknowledged the killing of Ken,i Kitchen, for which he was be ing tried, on the night i f Sunday, April 1, and put up a flimsy -'.■If defense story which was quickly proven to l>e utterly false. He appealed to both the judge and the jury for mercy. Judge Falligant told him that he mnst find mercy at a higher tribunal. He was defeuded by the colored lawyer, Hinckle, who. after the cane had gone to the jury, said that if the man was convicted he would not move for a new trial, ns Kitchen was a had negro and deserved all he would get. The verdict gave great pleasure to the negroes, all of whom feared and detested the mur derer. Kitchen's‘crimes were of a horrible nature. In 1888 he returned to Savan nah after serving a sentence of two years for trying to kill Jake Hendricks. On the first night hero he visited his wife, Rena Morea, a servant in the em ploye of Captain Brooks, and sleeping m the servants’ quarters on his premises and cut her throat from ear to ear. He then ran off to the phosphate mjpes near Charleston. About a year later he married again. His wife became afraid of him and fled to Savannah. He came here, made up with her and after several visits enticed her into the yurd one night and cut her throat. He was captured at the phosphate mines and brought hack. He is supposed to be the man who clubbed his wife so badly three or four years ago that she died from the injuries. DRANK POISONED LIQUOR With Strangers, and as a Result Death Followed. Norwood, O., Aug. 6.—Ed Hayes is dead and J. Arown is in a critical con dition from the effects of poisoned liqnor given them on a railway train. They were returning home from Boston and joined two strangers in a game of whist in the smoking car. During the play one of the strangers produced a pint bottle and passed it around. Hayes and Brown drank, bat the strangers did not. When Brown left the train at Nor wood Central station he fell beside the track insensible. He was taken home, and at a late hour his recovery was doubtful. Hayea went on to Winslow station, two miles farther, and got off the train with much difficulty, half stu pefied and evidently in great pain. He walked to a field near by and lay down on his face, where a friend tried to rouse him a few minutes later, but found him dead. The motive for the poisouing is a mystery. HANGED FOUR TIMES. A Tunnel In Lamar Street The knowing ones, who hold down the street corners these days, claim to have Inside information, or rather bot tom facts, that a resolution is to be In troduced at the next council meeting to provido for a tunnel on Lamar street, from Rylandcr’s corner to tbo horse trough in front of the Alhambra, under the mountain of rubbish that now fills that section of Lamar street. This will enable vehicles to pass that way instead of going around the hotel square,as they now do. Careful estimates,said to have been made by competent engineers, indi cate that it will cost less to dig the tunnel than to remove the mountain. Besides, there are esthetic reasons why the mountain should remain where It is; as the otherwise flat and mountain ous view from tho hold is broken by tho picturesque landscape of bill and valley in Lamar street; and will remind the northern tourists of the white mountain scenery of their native Now England. An inclined railway, such as exists at Lookout Mountain, Niagara Falls and Walnut Hills, Cincinnati, is in contem plation for tho benefit of the hotel guests who would desire to ascend tho summit of this eminence, to get a view of the surrounding country; and this feature could bo readily and cheaply supplied by utilizing the steam power of the hotel for propelling a lino of cable cars up the Incline. It may interest those of our people who have not yet scaled those heights to know that upon One of the loftiest plateaus, Contractor Smith is raising a flue crop of crab grass, which can in due season bo harvested and converted Into a fine specimen of Sumter county upland hay, which, if exhibited at the State Fair, would demonstrate to the world the fertility of Sumter county soil, even under all the varying atmospheric condi tions of an elevation little short of per- petual,frost line.
