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 PR0FES3I0NAL T. A.

Rond 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. l-’ell if ft the Trnln. 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.

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. that she says si thing else until by the courts. 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. To Ti rlic:i 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. OFFER- For the next thirty days, startling reductions in their entire stock DRY GOODS.
