GEORGIA SOLDIERS’ IIORE.
A Suit to Force Its Sale Before Judge
Lumpkin.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 3.—The case of
the subscribers to the ill-fated soldiers’
home against the trustees was taken up
today to force it to a sale before Judge
Lumpkin without a jury.
The case came up on a bill filed by
some of the subscribers to the confeder
ate soldiers’ home fund against the trus
tees, which alleges that the Musters
unable to operate the property and m
tain it, that it has been tendered to the
state and has been rejected, on which ac
count the subscribers ask that the proper
ty be sold and the funds arising from the
sale be distributed under the direction of
the court among the needy confederates
of the state or returned to those by whom
it was subscribed.
The sale of the property is resisted by
the Atlanta Realty and Improvement
company on the ground that it made a
donation of some of the lands, and insists
that the property be operated as origi
nally intended. The resistance is an ob
struction in the way of the disposition of
the home which may tie it up in the
courts for some time.
THE PITZEL MURDER CASE.
An Instrument Maker Who Sharpen
ed Holmes Knives.
Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 2.—There
were no new developments in the Holmes
Pitzel case today.
Albert Shiffling, tn expert instrument
maker of this city, met H. H. Holmes
on Oct. 3, 3 894. Holmes called at his
place of business, 30 Virginia avenue
that day with two cases of ; nstrumentg.
These cases were of brown leather. Oue
i- ! case contained two knives and a saw.
The knives were about 20 inches long;
one bad a w hite handle and the other a
black. They were quite sharpe pointed
at the ends, and the blades bore a few-
dark spots. In shape they resembled
ordinary carving knives. The saw was
of very fine make, and fifteen inches in
j length. The other case was much sniall-

It Might be Better Applied.
Speaking of the statement that $75,000
had recently been raised at a camp
meeting in Maine, for missionary pur
poses, the Houston Post well says:
“If the United states were thoroughly
Christianized; if thousands of heathens
within this countiy were numbered by
hundreds only; if Chinatown in San
Francisco, or Mott street in New York,
were what they ought to be, or the Afri
cans of the South were upon the same
plane as the enthusiasts at the Old Oi-
chard camp-meeting; or t the pauperism
and human degredation Christianized
elevated in the great cities—the benight
ed followers of Confucius, who requite
the good missionaries disinterestedness
with a club, might be looked after or
the Hottentot be coaxed from his bliss
ful ignorance in the jungle and clothed
in his right mind and hickory overalls
from the mills of Massachusetts. But
there’s lots of work to do at home and
$75,000 would relieve a vast amount of
ignorance and suffering in our large
American communities.
er and contained, according to Mr. Shif-
flings’ recollection, eight knives of vari
ous sizes and shapes.
Holmes asked Shiffling to sharpen all
the knives, saying that he would return
tor them the next day. With him on this
occasion was the boy, Howard Pitzel,
and a strange man with a beard.
Holmes did not call the next day, as
he had promised, but returned Oct. S,
and secured the instruments. On the last
visit Howard Pitzel was again with
Holmes, but the strange man was not.
Holmes seemed to be in a hurry, paid for
the work and left at once. These knives
were doubtless to be used to dismember
the body of young Pitzel before it was
burned in the Irving house.
To Use the Skull in Evidence.
Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. 1.—From an
occurrence that took place yesterday it
lo jks as if the authorities ot Philadel
phia intend to try H. H. Holmes, the
much-accused swindler and alleged mul
timurderer, for the murder here of his
partner, Benj. F. Pietzel.” In the pres
ence of an attache of the district attor
ney’s office, the body of Pietzel was ex
humed to-day, and the coroner’s physi
cian severed the head from the body and
took it away with him. When asked
why the head had been cut off’ the phy
sician said that it was intended to use
the skull in evidence at the trial of
Holmes. It is expected to identify Piet
zel bv the teeth of the skull.
, Turner the Man*
The Ws*resboro Nimbus gets off the
following good one on us, and we sup
pose we must plead guilty, for it is true
that we do not believe there is a man so
capable of filling every office in the
land, from constable to president, as H.
G. Turner:
“Brother Perhani, of the Waycross
Herald, is one of the most conservative
editors of the state, but he is radical on
the subject of United States senator.
Some men are candidates for every office
to be filled, but Brother Perliam is r.ot
so. Yet he has a candidate for every
one that becomes vacant. They tell a
tale on him in Brooks county, his old
home, that on one occasion there was a
vacancy in the office of constable, and
lie, as editor of the county paper, was
approached as to whom was the most
logical candidate, when, without think
ing, he proposed the name of Henry G.
Turner, and added: ‘I do not believe we
have a man who can fill the office better
or is more certain of being elected. ’ ’

Three More Heads in the Basket.
From the Brunswick Call.
In persuance to an order issued by
Superintendent Dunham, of the Plant
System, Messrs. Claude I>an, W. D.
Miller and D. A. Irwin, three former
Brunswickians, will be retired on Sep
tember 1st.
The above gentlemen have been in the
employment of the company for a long
time. They formerly worked in the of
fices here, but went to Waycross when
the B. & W. general office was removed.
Since that time they have been with Mr.
Hainca’ department. No fault whatever
is found with the work of the young gen
tlemen, but a general reduction of ex
penses is the cause. It is understood
that Messrs. Dait and Miller will return
to Brunswick. Nothing has been learn
ed of Mr. Irwin’s intentions. The Call
wishes them success in finding lucrative
positions.
Col. Haines’ Successor.
Col. H. S. Haines returns to New
York today. It seems to be an accepted
fact in railroad circles that he will soon
assume the duties of commissioner of the
Southern Freight Association.
Col. Haines is not vice-president of the
Plant System now. He resigned, taking
effect Sept. 1. His successor will be
elected at the fall meeting and it is prob
able that Mr. R. G. Erwin, now second
vice-president, will be his successor.—
Savannah Press.
There are thousands of people in Geor
gia and Florida who will deeply regret the
severance of Mr. Haines’ connection with
the Plant System. H. S. Haines is with
out a doubt the most popular railroad
man in the South.
The Blue Gum Negro.
Solicitor Shipp, of the county court,
was telling the Progress the other day,
about seeing a,blue gum negro a few
days before. Whiletellingabout.it he
shuddered as if he heard the well-known
racket of a rattlesnake, for it is said that
their bite is as poisonous as that of a
rattlesnake.
A few days ago a blue-gum got in a
fight with another negro over near Ab
beville and bit him on the fipger. The
finger began to swell immediately. Soon
the whole aim was involved. Drs. Ba
ker and Wallace, of Cordele, had to cut
the negroes arm off the save his life.—
Vienna Progress.
He Won’t Get Much.
Rev. Sam Jones recently touched on
bloomers. He said: “I believe the great
body ot women in America are true and
pure and modest, and where we have
one woman wearing bloomers today we
have one hundred thousand who will
*r wear them. If New York only
had four liuudred in its upper circles,
and all other places in proportion, after
all we have only a few thousand of the
devotees of fashion and the imitators of
the butterflies. I believe the devil
get most of them, but th^nk God he
won’t get much.

Among the confederate relic3 to be

chest not only went through the civil
war, but through the Mexican war, in
which Jefferson Davis was a great mili

possession of Col. Jno. B. Weems by. Mr.
Davis. In 1865 when he passed through
Washington, he was forced to disencum
ber himself of some of his things, as he
was a fugitive. Among the things he
left was this chest. Col. Weem’s daughter
still has the chest and will exhibit it at
