Vroohi? the cases tried in Lumpkin ' w eek was that against Hal Adams ( or wife murder. T l, e evidence against Adams was lro01 ,t convincing, but owing to tlie shrewdness of bis lawyers, he was freed. Aroer icus has a line bar, and this .' rk „f „ n e of our most successful firms * hoWS how successful they are. The Macon Telegraph publishes an account of t |,e trial and of the lawyers' work, w]]ic h makes interesting reading matter, especially to Americus people. It will he found below: Vilnius was defended by Simmons & Kimbrough of Americus. The state oved that Hal Adams lad made threats against Ids wifo; that no one was in the house at the time of the killing, hut Adams and his wife; that the de- eeasccl wits shot in the right side, just miller the armpit, and that it was im possible for the deceased to liavo acci dentally or intentionally shot herself in such a place and manner. There are no powder or smoke stains on her dress— nothing to show the woman killed hor- self. The fact that there was no powder or smoke stains on the dress of deceased eaused much concern to defendant's lawyers, Messrs. Simmons & Kimbrough. How were they to show the woman may have shot herself and yet no pistol stains on the dross? But lawyers, like Hill Arp’s “Big John” on the retreat from Home, are full of expedients. Sim mons A- Kimbrough procured a pistol 32- calibre, like the one that fired the fatal shot, bought a piece of stripes liko the dress, betook themselves in the hot sun to a big gully outside the incorporate limits of the city, placed the cloth against the surface of the gully, put tho pistol in two feet of the cloth and fired. The cloth took lire and the powder and smoke stains were tliore!” Simmons, discouraged, said: “Kim, our man will hang; wo arc gone up-” But Kim said: “I’ll go back to to town and get a dilfcrent kind of cloth.” Kim went, even if tho sun was hot. Said Simmons, on Kim’s return: "Let's hang that cloth on a limb where no resistance will be met." "I'm with you" roplied Kim. The cloth, a sort of navy blue, was ar ranged, and the shot fired at two feet distance! No powdorand no smoke! “We aro safe!" cried the enthusiastic Simmons. Tlie two walked to town. They bought more of this navy blue sort of cloth. They invited Mr. John West, a reliable man, to walk with them to the gully. West thought there was perhaps, a few bottles of [champagno hid out in the grass along the gully, for Lumpkin is a very dry town. But upon arrival at the spot the cloth was hung upon til# twig as before and Mr. West, the crack shot of Lumpkin, asked to place his pistol in two feet and fire. He did so. No stains. Mr. West is a witness. Simmons* Kimbrough aro exultant. The cunning advocates for tho defense never let on to tho "old state” tho re sult of their first fatal experiment. Tho witness, Mr. West, saw only their last experiment. Tho "state” put in tho dress as evidence. No powder, no smoke stains. Henco the pistol was lired by the husband. But to make sure, tlie “state" and his assistant attor neys took part of tho very dress of tho deceased and niado their experiment. ■ he piece of dress was placed vertically against Hie earth and a pistol tired into it two feet distant. Tho powder at- taciieil and tlie smoko stains woro there to *l'°ak in defense of tho woman. In rebuttal came tho experiment of tho left-use. Doubts, as big as a man's hand, are raised on tlie mind of tho jury and under tlie impassioned eloquence of mpetuous .Simmons, those doubts tlie became great clouds, and the jury re turned a verdict, “Not guilty.’ This verdict of “not guilty” was a trl- mph of legal Bmartnoss, for no one be lieves the woman shot herself Intention ally nr accidentally. When the defendant tad been sot free and his lawyers gone to their rooms for the night, they called *‘ e “old state” and showed him the first Peri,I, mt and how fatal the results •mo Imw ti.ey had experimented with 'er samples. Tho curtain must fall on e answer given by tho state. Putnam April 28.—With this issue, we assume with the new paper tlie rela tion that existed so long betweon us and tlie Recorder. To the many friends and readers of that paper, we need no intro duction, and will say to those whom we now meet for tlie first time, that it shall bo our aim to make this department of more tiian neighborhood or county in terest. To our alliance friends wo will say, that wo have every assurance that tlie new paper, with tlie prosent manage ment, is in no way antagonistic to tlie farmers movement. That while its avowed purpose is to furnisli tlie gener al news of tlie day, that its columns will contain much that will bo of interest, and at tho same time meet tho approba tion of alliance readers. On dealing with this subject, which it will be our privilege to discuss, we shall aot in ac cordance with our convictions, and en deavor to occupy that means between tho two inconsistent extremes, that seeks to array class against class. Feel ing that there is no honorable business, or occupation that is not helping to develops and build up the general pros perity of our state and country, and be lieving this can bo tlie bottei dono by the friendly relation of the masses, we shall ever work to this end. Schley county’s late grand jury was a body of representative men that went to tlie very bottom to investigate the pub lic records. The first followed in tlie steps of tlie last 20 or 25 grand juries and condemned that monument tea past and less enlightened and progressive generation, the old jail; then three of the county officers received tlie compli monts of the body. Wo have been on the grand jury our self, and from per sonal observation wo infer that, at least, some of tlie complaint was raised due to tho fact of tlie ofllccrs having never have attended a writing school. Tlie following interest of tho section seems to be well up. Cotton is about all planted, and some is up and is being chopped; nearly ail tho corn we have seen lias been sided, while tlie other crops have been planted. Oats and other small grain aro promising, while tlie farmor seems contented. Tho next meeting of the Marion coun ty alliance will be at the noted Knowlton mineral springs. Marion is a large county, and matters not where the alli ance meets, some of the delegates have to go about 2. r i miles to attend the meet ings, hence the policy for holding at different points. Tho closing exercises of the Wiggins- ville school will come oft Thursday evening, May 7th. The public generally aro invited to attend. The school has just passed through the first term of Its existence, and closes with an attendance that is quite gratifying to its friends. It was (decided at tbo beginning to this year run the school only eight months. The friends of the school aro much en couraged over the boginning they have made. In location, building, fixtures, etc., they claim to rank second to any in the country. Mr. Reed who owns mill near here, turned otT,tlio water In his pond ono day last week to do some repairing about his dam, and caught about .">00 pounds of fish. With the exception of a few plums, fruit will ho almost a complete failure in tills section. Mr. S. A. Sellars happened to quite a painful accident one day last week. While assisting a negro in throwing a heavy piece of wood from a wagon, lie was thrown olf tlie wagon, tho wood fall ing on him. Besides being otlierwlso badly bruised, he had several ribs dislo cated.’ Schley county alliances liavo a move on foot to liavo another annual picnic about the first of July. There is no doubt about the move materializing into one of the grandest occasions of the season. ms NECK BROKEN. A NEGRO WORKMAN FALLS TO HIS DEATH. He Was at Work on the New City Hall Building—And Tumbled Thirty Feet Into a File of Brick-Killed Instants- nemmly. , A peculiar and fatal accident happened to a negro man yesterday afternoon. Dave Jackson was his(name and he was something over 50-years of |age, He was a brickmason working on the new city hall building, and|feli to the ground, a distance of some[|thirty feet, killing him instantly. Most of the hands were working on the north side of tlie building, while Jackson was alone on the south sldo just at the water tower. Exactly when tlie fatal accident oc curred was not known. The workmen and people in tho vicinity say they heard a lumbering noise as of something falling not long after :i o’clock. Somo of the masons walked over to where Jackson had beon working, but could discover nothing wrong. A short while afterward one of tlie men entered tho building and looked in to what is to be a little closet, just at tbo base of the tower. Here lie was horri fied to find the old negro lying all doubled up, with tlie blood streaming from a gasli on tho head. Mr. Smith, tlie contractor, was at once informed, and he hurried to the scone. The body lay jnst as when discovered, but was at once removed and stretchod out on a plank. I)rs. J. B. and A. B. Hinkle were at once notified and arrived in a few moments. That the man was dead there was lit tle doubt, but witli their characteristic energy and carefulness tho doctors sought by artificial respiration and other means to revive tho negro to conscious ness. After working for an hour, and careful examination it was shown that tlie neck was broken. Thero was also a bad contusion on tlie head, but one that would not necessarily have proven fatal. It is thought that Jackson's fall was due to the turning of a loose plank on tlie scafTolding, tlie plank falling part of the way with him. He was quite near the tower and the gash on his h ad was probably cauRed by striking against the brick projection. ne fell head first in a pile of brick at the bottom, and his head and neck were doubled up under tlie ’>ody. A largo crowd gathered to look at the dead man, who presented a quite natural ap pearance except for the gash on the head. He was a well known negro of the town, having lived here all his life. He leaves a wife and several sons and daughters, most of them grown. The tears and cries of the relatives as they looked at his cold body .were quite pa thetic. The body was moved out to his home, and will be ouried to-day. No blame is attached to any one, and the accident could only have occurred through the carelessness of the man who lost bis life. MINISTERS MAD. A HOT SCENE AT AN EVANGELICAL MEETING Itev. Mr. Cary Talk. About Rome of HU Brothers—I>r. Loo Takes the Floor and Informs the Gentleman (hat his Remarks were Contemptible and Idiotic. Atlanta, April 27.—[Special]—tjuite a sensation was created here to-day at a meeting of the Ministers Evangelical Association. WlieD Itev. Mr. Cary, a holiness Meth odist preacher, introduced a set of resolutions condemning the observance of memorial day on the sabbath, and more especially the participation in the exercises of two consecrated ministers. These ministers were Drs. J. W. Leo and T. I*. Cleveland, who olfered tlie prayers at tlie cemetery. I)r. Lee lias of late introduced into the service of tlie Methodist church, of which ho is pastor certain forms from the Episcopal Litany, and ids Innova tions have not been allowed to pass without opposition. Apparently lie re garded tlie resolutions offered this morning as a personal reflection upon him, and as soon as he could get tho floor lie pronounced them botli "con temptible and idiotic.” Things were waxing warm when a good brother moved to adjourn, and the chairman, adopting tlie suggestion, de clared tlie meeting at an end. The ministers have kept this delicate affair closely to themselves, and great efforts have been made to guard the secret from the public. AMEKI' IS' ELOgVKNT NON. FOR FORGERY. J.L.

Tho exorcises, which consisted of songs, prayer, a short olo- quent talk by Itev. A. E. Keeso, then the address by Americus’ gifted son, Hon. W. M. Uawkes, were held in tho Metho dist church. Never in tho history of Lumpkin lias a more eloquent, touching, soul-inspiring address been delivered on any subject. Col. Ilawkes was in his happiest vein, and those who know him and liavo heard him, realize what that means. He car ried tho largo audience with him In every word, every gesture, and every movement of liis body. They sat as if spell-bound and at every beautiful (low ing period, would have broken into en thusiastic cheers but for their respect for the Sabbath day and the house of God. . After the address the graves of the Confederate dead in the Methodist Cem etery were liberally covered with (low ers, after which a procession was formed headed by the old “rets" and proceeded to the cemetery of the Baptist Church, where the same thing was repeated.

A full attendance of lawyers from other towns were on hand, but very little business was transacted. The most Im portant cases tried were two murder cases. One against Hal Adams, colored, for killing Ills wife, was tried Thunday, and was acquitted, the evidence showing the shooting to have been accidental. Tlie other against Robert Brown, color ed, for tho killing of Rich Perry, colored, resulting in a mistrial. Several important cases were contin ued on account of Judge Watts' illness, among them another murder caso. This being the last time Judge Fort will hold court here, the grand jury took their leave of him in a very feeling man ncr which voiced tho sentiment of s largo majority of our citizens. We only request that Judge Watts be elected ills and Watson, for certain Texas lands. Forty thousand dollars was the purchase price. Five thousand was paid down, and Dunn has just been to New York to receive anothor payment. There lie mot Watson, who said his headquarters had beon removed to this city, and Wednesday be mot Dunn here, who paid him $12,000 in drafts with bills of lading for cotton attached, on the Momphis and Mobile banks.

Smoke issued in small volcano-liko puffs from tlie limbs and trunk of the tree and lloated off in every direction. Dr. McDaniel climbed up among the boughs, but could find no clue to tlie origin of the smoke. Tall as this story sounds, Principal Keeper of the Penitentiary Jone*, and other prominent persons vouch for its truth. The townspeople wont in a body tills afternoon to see tho tree repeat its caper of yesterday. Remain's Resignation. Wabiiinhton, April 27.—Senator Reagin, of Texas, having resigned his seat in the senate to accept tlie position as chairman of the newly created Texas state railroad commission, Governor Hogg has appointed Horace Chilton to fill the unexplred term. Mr. Chilton is n young man, a native of Texas, and a life long democrat, and has the reputation of being an able man and an eloquent speaker. He has never held public office before, though he was onee a candidate for congress in what la now “Buck” Kilgore’s district, but there being a deadlock in the convention he wihtdrew for the sake of harmony. Senator Reagan's appointment at the bead of tho railroad commission has oc casioned some surprise In view of the re cent demand of tho Texas state farmers' alliance, that the governor should ap point “a true and tried allianceman, and no other, as railway commissioner; that tlie man should be S. D. A. Duncan, of Dallas, and nobody else. Georgia Must Fay. Atlanta, April 27.—[Special.]—In a conferenco held here to-day with tlie governor and and tho state school com missioners, Dr. J. L. M.

Dr. Curry said he had used all his in fluence with the board so far, buthe had now come to tlie conclusion that it is about time that the state of Georgia should do something for herself. Doctor Curry goes with Gov. Northen to Brunswick to attend the annual con vention to-morrow, where this matter, it is believed will be further discussed. The Nows l'ross also quotes Hon. Smith M. Weed as saying that when the time came Mr. Blaine would be found positively declining a nomination. Also that W. J. Arkelis Bays that Mr. Blaine is about to come out with a most positivo refusal to allow his name to bo usod again in connection with the presi dency. HIIOT DEAD. Another Act In a Faninux Kentucky Tragedy. Elizabeth, Ky., April 27.—[Special.] —Another act in tho Sliowcrs-Mooro tragedy took place in the court house here this morning. About 8 o’clock Charles Moore shot William Showors through tho head with a shotgun loaded with buck shot, killing him instantly. When the fatal shot was tired, Show ers had a revolver in his band. Showers married Moore's sister. She died with a bullet through hor head two years ago, and her husband was tried under an indictment for murder, and was acquitted after a most exciting trial. A few days before Showers' trial Moote was indicted for forging witness claims and skipped the country. When Showers was acquitted he scoraod de termined to have Moore caught, and succeeded in tracing him to Eagle Pass, Texas, arrested him and brought him back hero. Appointed County Judge.

They Did Not Catch Him. Messrs. E. II. CuttsandW. K. Wheat- ley, of Americus, in returning through the woods from tlie Ocmulgeo brick works last Friday, met with an amusing, though somewhat annoying mishap. While sliuntering along tlie woodland path they simultaneously descried a beautiful little striped animiti and both rushed forward to capture It. When they gift back to town tiioir friends avoided them. They were fortu- On to Afontgomery. Mr. J. J. King, one of the contractors for the Savannah, Americus and Mont gomery railroad, gives to the Montgom ery Advertiser the following facts, show ing how rapidly that new line is being pushed into Montgomery: The grading is now completed to Mt. Meigs, or within twelve miles of the city. The work between here and therd is now being interrupted by trouble in securing right of way through several plantations about six miles out of town. The owners are demanding $100 per acre for right-of-way, which the road considers an outrageous figure, es pecially sinee they had to pay at the rate of only $50 per acre for en trance through property just outaldo the city limits. Proceedings for condemna tion, Mr. Kink aays, will be Instituted, whloh will necessarily entail delay. The tracklaying is finished to within twenty-two miles of the city, and is coming along steadily. The work on the bridge over the Chattahoochee la also progressing satisfactorily and there i* no doubt that the road will be in operation by tlie end of the mmmer and In time for next season’s business. This will be anothor feeder for Montgomery’s great and growing jobbing trade. Sunday School Convention.
