Shortly after d o’clock yesterday after
noon, when the crowd had cleared away
from a train which had just returned
from Andersouville, three men and a
lady were in the waiting room at the
Central depot. It was then that a
Timks-Hkcorder teporter heard the
words quoted above.
The man to whom they were directed
mumbled some reply which seemed to
be satisfactory and the four left the
depot, followed by the reporter, who
found that they went to the S., A. Sr M.
depot.
An interview was secured with one of
the men when these iactswere obtained.
The young man who was doing the
talking was Mr. Ed. I.. Robinson, of

him in the sum of s:>00
but he couldn't give it, so he was lodg
behind prison walls to await trial.
Owens was seen by a Timks-Rki orr
reporter to whom be strongly protested
his innocence, though he would hav
nothing else to say. He seemed indiffer
ent to the charge made against him and
expressed himself as “perfectly willing’’
to go to*jail 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
Montgomery county, and the young lady I that she believes
e girl
The
e ad-
was bis sister, Minnie, an attrac
of some nineteen or twenty year
man to whom the remarks w
dressed was William Echols', who says
that his homo is somewhere near Bruns-
wick. The other man was II. R. God
frey, a cousin of Robinson and his sister.
It seems that Echols had made an en
gagement with Miss Robinson to accom
pany her to Andersonville yesterday. In
the meantime he indulged in some dis
paraging talk] which had reached Ed
Robinson’s ears. An explanation was
demanded and Echols denied ever having
used the words accredited to him.
Despite this Robinson thought it best
to keep an eye on Echols while he was
with his sister, so ho came to Americus
on the same tr in with them. As it
happened he met here the man who had
told him of what Echols had said.
The two were brought face to face.
Echols was caught unawares and
when he could no longer deny what he
had said Ed Robinson made the demand
of him which has already been related,
and II. D. Godfrey was there to help
him see that demand carried into execu
tion.
The words that Ech<«la mumbled out
were a promise that he would do what
was demanded of him.
Then it was that the party left for the
S., A. Sr M. depot, on their way to the
home of the young lady, where to-day
Miss Minnie Robinson will become Mrs.
William Echols, and her fair name will
be honestly cleared of any stain which
William Echols may have caused to at
tach to it.
There will be no cards, but there will
be a wedding, for Robinson and Godfrey
will see to it that Echols carries out his
promise.

General Jackson, not General Andrew,
but plain, ordinary, every day General,
who is very black, is wanted by the au
thorities on two charges.
The General was among the Ander
sonville excursionists yesterday. No
sooner had ho set foot on that historic
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 shoot him. Forthwith Ed
got his wife aud came to Americus and
before Judge Pilsbury swore out a
double action warrant charging General
Jackson with carrying concealed weap
ons and pointing a pistol at another.
General is discreetly remaining away,
and now the officers are after him.

Ranse Adams, a darkey from tho rural
districts came near meeting instant
death at the Central depot yesterday
morning, ltanse was one of the excur
sionists, but before venturing to leave
the city he filled up on pop skull whis
key. When he went to board the train
for Andersouville everything was turn
ing around. It was no trouble for him
to fall oil’ and that he did in short order.
It was almost a miracle that those
near by kept him from falling under the
moving wheels, but they did, and that
saved his life. As it was an ugly hole
was knocked iu his forehead by the eud
of a cross tic.
McELREE’S WINE OF CARDUt for Weak Nerves.
In a New Field.
I)r. W. P. Hurt has branched out on a
brand new line. Yesterday lie purchased
tho stock of Mr. D. B. Register, who
runs the store near the Savannah, Amer
icus and Montgomery depot, and to
morrow he may be numbered among the
merchants of Americus.
He will place Messrs. John Turpin
and Lynn Burt in charge, and they will
be glad to serve their many friends.
With such capable ones In charge this
business will be a success.

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 fathers of the two
young men came to Americus. Rad
blood existed between them, and with
Mr. J. A. S. Perry came his brother, Mr.
W. J. Perry. They met Mr. Castleberry
near the Alliance warehouse about noon
yesterday, aud in some way the old fued
was brought up. In a short while
the men had begun to fight the fight of
a few days ago over again.
It seems that both the Messrs. Perry
pitched into Mr. Castleberry. At this
juncture Mr. Albert Brady took a hand
and the tight was general. It looked
once as if some one was going to be
badly hurt but those who were near
separated the combatants as quickly as
they could. All of tho bel’igerents were
badly bunged up, and there were two
ugly gashes down the back of Mr. Cas
tleberry’s coat, that being the extent of
tho damage.
Officer Harrow made a case against
each of the parties named.
Late last night Tiie Timk*-Kk< order
was informed that tho parties had met
somewhere in the country, and that one
of tho Messrs. Porrry was badly hurt.
As careful an investigation as could he
made at that time failed to disclose any
foundation for this report, however.
Nome Fifth.
Americus people were regaled yester
day by a look at a fifty-five pound stur
geon which was brought in by Mr R. R.
McDonald, who caught it in a net in
Flint river. This fish is all meat, being
perfectly boneless, and is said to be very
palatable.
During the two hours that he was in
the city, it is estimated, Mr. McDonald
told 79J people what the fish was, where
he caught it, how much it weighed and
explained that it had no bones. He sold
all the fish, but even then he was be
sieged with Inquiries, and the last tho
reporter saw of him he was driving up
Forsyth street, answering those same
questions for “a gentleman from Wil
cox."
A Dinner Bugged.
Jim Calhoun, who has been moving in
the upper ten of colored society, was
run in by Officer Smith yesterday for
gaming.
The grand jury indicted Jim for that
offense. In some way he got wind of
the matter and has been rather shy of
the hi no coats. Yesterday, however,
Officer Smith spied him on Cotton ave
nue and started to take him in tow. llo
gave the officer a race through Mize's
and Henry Anderson’s barber shop, but
was caught and locked up until the
time conies for him to join the forces on
the county gang.

Conversing with a group of state pol
ticians at that place, when he made the j
declaration.
Mr. Harrison said his father would !
not be a candidate for re-election unless j
the party demanded it.
“Should the republican leaders insist \
upon it,’’ continued Russell, “then lie j
will allow bis name to go before the j
convention, but under no other circum- j
stances ’’ He certainly would not be a !
candidate if he consulted his family.
Personally he would rather retire to
private life, but as an ardent party man
he is willing to observe the wishes of
the majority.
Mr. Harrison said the relations be
tween the president and Mr. Blaine
were exceedingly pleasant, and they
were on the best of terms.
In regard to the Frank Leslie articles,
he said they were printed without his
knowledge, consent or authority.
He believed they were written by Mr.
Arkell.
Will Talk I |I Georgia.
Maj. W L. Glessner left early this
morning for Minneapolis, Minn., wheie
lie goes to attend a meeting of the
National Nurserymen’s association.
While there Maj Glessner will talk
Georgia to the best of his ability, and
will no doubt succeed in getting the
members of the association, most of
whom live north, to make an investiga
tion of Georgia as a place for their
business.
The result may be an excursion
through the state, and of course Ameri
cus will be “in it."
Hit HU Head. Of Course.
Yesterday a portion of the scaffolding
on the Jackson street side of the Hotel
Alhambra fell to the ground with a
mighty crash.
Alex Camptou, a country negro, was
immediately under the scatfold at the
time, and a heavy timber struck him
square on the head The blow would
have killed an ordinary man, but Alex’s
skull was proof against it and only tho
skin was broken. The negro sat down
and let tho wound bleed for awhile and
then went his way, as if nothiug had
happened.
