Borne Politic..

there wasn’t some politics discuss

store, wherever you cdhld find two
or three men together, the vsrious

shaking up. The people in this sec'

selves before making up their
minds, and no one can safely pre

HURLED TO DEATH.
YOUNG GUS DUNN'S UNTIMELY END
A Flagman on tho 8. A. M. Road Losot
HU Balance and Fall* From the
Car* to Meet Hie Death.
An accident occurred yesterday
afternoon near Helena, on the S.
A. M. road, in which Gus Dunn,
the flagman, lost bis life. The par
ticulars are very meagre and in
definite. *Dunn was about 19 years
of age. and left here yesterday
morning with his train. When
the train arrived at Helena about
five o'clock last evening it was
discovered that he was missing. As
he had been seen shortly before, It
was at once supposed by tbe crew
that he mutt have fallen from the
train. It was deemed advisable to
detach tbe engine and go In searob
of him.
Near Sugar Hill, eight miles from
Helena, the searchers came upon
his dead body. He was lying in a
■harp curve of tbe road.
Death bad apparently been in
stantaneous. It Is supposed that Ji
had been on top of the train at th<
point of tbe accident, and in mak
ing tbe sharp curve, be lost his
balance aud was hurled to the earth
beneath.
The young man was well liked by
all who Knew him, and his untime
ly death wa* a matter of regret
among hie many friends. A coffin
for bis remains was ordered last
night from this city and shipped
Helena.

Mr. Parish Dead.
Mr. J. F. Parish, the gentleman
who was so badly crushed by falling

of being accessory before the fact to
burning Mr. Neil Ray’s barn,
Mr. Harper and a negro named
Sam Valentine were arrested upon
evidence furnished by Bill Jones,
the Atlanta detective. Sam Valen
tine was convicted of the crime and
sentenced to fifteen years in the
penitentiary. There was, however,
no evidence against Mr. Harper,
connecting him in any manner
with tlie criino. ' Accordingly, So
licitor Hudson moved yesterday in
the Superior Court that a nolle
prosequi be eutored in the case.
Judge Fort granted the motion, and
the charge against Mr. Harper was
dismissed. The many friends of
Mr. Harper have never doubted his
innocence for a moment, and the
course the case has taken is a com
plete vindication.

Col. Walter K. Wheatley carried
oil’the honors in his first combat in
the fields of justice. He was engag
ed to assist in the defense of Simon
RIackburn, the negro charged with
assault with intent to murder. The
circumstances of tiie case as claimed
by the prosecution are about as fol
lows: Several months ago Simon,
during a quarrel with his wife,
hurled a hatchet at her. The wo
man dodged the keen missile, aud
it flew past her ouly to strike her
young daughter—inflicting a pain
ful wound. The case went* to
the jury yesterday afternoon.
Col. Wheatley's maiden efforts in
addressing a jury wbb a highly
successful one, and at its conclusion
he was complimented by those pres
ent over tbe manner in which he
presented the facts of the case to
the jurors. He did not essay any
flights of oratory, but contented
himself with showing the defend
ant’s claims In a concise and logic

A $100,000 oonstruotlon company
The Recorder has noted tbe
formlDg of a construction company
which will take tbe place of C. 51
Wheatley 4 Co. -Wuen first organ
Ized the capital stock was put at
$50,000. It was taken at once, never
beiug even placed on tbe market.
The success of the company was
assured, as it wduld at once step
into the old established business of
C. M. Wheatley 4 Co.
At a meeting of tbe stockholders
yesterday it was decided to Increase
the capital stock of the company to
$100,000,with privilege of Increasing
to $500,000. The stockholders then
elected the following board of di
rectors:
C. M. Wheatley, P. C.-Clegg, W
E. Hawkins, O. A. Coleman, Geo.
D. Wbestley, Crawford Wheatley
B. H. Jossey.
The directors met afterwards and
elected tbe following temporary
officers:
President—C. M. Wheatley.
Vice-President—Crawford Wheat-
ley.
Secretary and Treasurer—B. H.
Jossey.
An assessment of fifty per cent,
of the capital stock was called, pay
able by July 1st. Other business
was transacted of a private nature.
Tbe new plant of C. M. Wheatley
4 Co. Is almost ready, and as soon
as tbe necessary arrangements can
be made the new company will take
charge of It.
Tbe organization of t-ucb a com
pany is a great thing for Amerlcus,
as with its big capital, the finest
machinery to be had, and skilled
workmen, dwellings and business
houses can be put up rapidly, and
relieve the pressure for stores and
dwellings, and /educe rents to a
lower basis. It will also help real
estate, aud place everytbingon that
line on a solid basis.
That the company, eveu with its
increased facilities, will have all it
can do, goes without Baying, as
every carpenter, brick mason, con
tractor and workman In the city Is
as busy as a bee.
This year will give Amerlcus such
a building boom as no town in tbe
State enjoys.

Early Thursday morning a sad
accident occurred on the S. A. M.
road, near the long trestle over the
Central track.
A railroader, and a perfect gen

ing on tbe S. A. M. road for sever- carpets and rugs on
al months, walked up to a construe-. »

The conductor told him to get off,
that he could not ride on the
engine, nor any of tlie flats, which
were loaded with railroad iron.
Mr. 1’ariBh got down from the
engine and walked forward and
climbed upon a fiat and took a seat
on the iron.
Tlie train was beiug backed out,
therefore the loaded cars were In
front.
At tbe east end of tlie trestle Is a
combination switch, both for tbe
narrow and broad gunge tracks.
This switcli was left o|>en for the
broad guage, and when the loaded
flat car struck the switch it jumped
the track. Mr. Parish jumped from
the car at the same time. When
tlie fiat left the track a standard
on one side gave way, which threw,
the iron off. In falling, it caught
Mr. Parish, crushing him terribly.
He was removed to Mr. Robin
son’s house and Dr. Brooks sum
moned. The Doctor soon arrived
and pronounced the wounds fatal.
Mr. Parish was an excellent rail
road man when not under the influ
ence of liquor, and bore a splendid
reputation. But on account of hie
love and use of liquor he was dis
charged on Wednesday afternoon.
