HERE'S A YERY FUNNY CASE.
A YOUNG MAN 'NAMED BARNES is DODG
ING IIS INHERITANCE.
He Has Moukeyed With Lawyers in Au
gusta and Savannah.
New York, January 26 —Anthony
Barnes,a formergvoung New Yorker,is
playing hide and seek about the coun
try to the discomfort ot his farther
and tlie city chamberlain. The young
man is heir to $lO,OOO, which was lett
him by his mother, who received it
i{rom her brother. Young Barnes
has heen running away from home off
and on for the last fifteen years. Some
years ago he joined a circus, and af
ter that he wasn’t heard of until a few
monthg age. Hehad in the mean
time become an heir, and his father
who is 4 Freenwhich street merchant,
wanted to see him very much. Al
vertisements were put in the paper
offering $5OO reward for any one
who would fiud him and bring him
to New York. Letters were received
by Lawyer Pape, who had charge of
the search, from 50 or 100 yonng
men who professed to be the missing
heir. Oue day a young man canme
{into Pape’s office with a lawycr from
Idasvilton, Ohio. He had evidence
thut de was the huuted young man,
aud the fawyer sent him to Mr. Bara
nes' house, Mr. Barnes said he
was an impoe ger, and he would kick
kLim out. ““Negou don’t dad,”” re
pied the claimant, ~‘you usta could,
but you e~2’t now.®
That sounded to the «id geatleman
like his missing son, and he investi
sated the young man’s story. He
coueluded fiually tirat the young wman
was veally his son, and was ready to!
own kim asg such, when the heir dis
appeared. That was the Jisc seen of
him. He was heard from in Phila~
delphia.*; A telegram was sent there
to head hiw for New York, Before
it reached Philadelphia the heir had
disappearel again. He was mnext
heard trom in ¢ incinnati. Another
telegram started @fter him, but he
had {lown again. since ther he has
}iuecu heard {rom in Chicago, St. Paul,
San Francisco, St. Loais, Kansas
} City. Quebec, Seattle, + alia Walla,
San Autonio, Dallas, New Orleans,
Augusta, G, Savannah and Jdacke
sonville. #e ealled on lawvers at
ench of those places and showed them
the advertizement offering the res!
ward. He has-proved his identity to
cach of the lawyers, and induced
them to write 10 lawyer Pape. As
soon a 8 Pape received ‘a letter he
would send 2 telegram, but invariably
the young wan has got away beiore
the telegraa reached its destination,
Mr. Barnes holds an assiznment for
half the money due his son, and he
has demanded $e amount from the
Chamberlain, whe Eas refused to pay
it. Now a suit widl be begun.—
Young Barnes willhe a useful wit
ness if the telegraph evar catches up
with him.

**Where shall you—-wlat!” said the
clerk.
“Where shall T anto.vaph—sign
my name?” said Mr. Depew.
“Oh, yes. Right here sir," said
the clerk; with a broad smile, produc
ing the register.
Mr. Depew wrote his name in a
hold hand, and then sat down In the
hotel lobby. Iu a few moments four
rentlemen from the suburbs knowu‘

DAWSON IN THE WEST,
Something Very Complimentary About a
Former Dawsonite.
The following notice ot Hon. R, L.
Fulton, a Dawsonian, who has won
houor and distinction in Texas, will
'beread with much interest by his
‘many friends here. The clipping is
from a Galveston paper, of which
city he is the honored mayor:
“One of the greatest secrets ot Gal
veston's eminence among the cities of
the earth is the efficiency of the men
who have the affaiirs ot the city in
haund. Galveston has been blessed tor
many years with officials who have
kept well in the paths of their fore
fathers, and the admivistration has
been handed down from time to time
to men who regarded their position as
a sacred heritage, each successive ad«
ministration striving to leave to
their succeseors better material to
work on than they had to begin with,
thus perpetuating and embellishing
the dreams of the founders of the
city, Uuder the direction of the
present admivistration, Galveston
has ount.stripped the prosperity of
all former years, and her rapid de
velopment has be)n due to the enter
prise and push, ability, honesty and
integrity ot such able and enterpris
ing men as
Hox. R, L. Furrox.
Car tain Fulton has filled the office
of mayor for ten consecutive years.
The citizens of Galveston may well
point to cheir executive with pride.
Throagh bis efforts the fair name of
Galveston has been conveyed to the
remotest part of the civilized world
By an honest and judicious expendi
ture of the public money, gathered
from the peopic, and without levy
ing burdensome taxer, Captain. Ful
ton has managed to run a big city at
a small expense, Captain Fulton i»
a native of Georgia, but has heen 1
Texas s 0 loaz and identified wit}
termed a Texan. Mayor £ulton ha:
been honored abroad as chief exccu
tive of the city of Galveston, baving
Lieen entertained as the guest of the
cities of New York, Philudelphia ana
Boston, und, like Caesar, hag thrice
retused the erown of the Gabernato
rial ehair of the state of Texas,
Can’t Be Compared With."
It iz a plensant ride from Ajbany
to Richlard. The distance is forty
eight miles and the Columbus Sonth
ern makes it in one and one-half
houra.
The sountry through which the
road pusses 18 splendid. No other
48 miles in the state ean compare to
it. The lands are level, verv fer
tile, and for the most part oak and
hickory. The mostinviting part of
the road, so far ag the lands are eon«
cerned, is from Pareott to Weston,
between Dawson and Rickland.
Rpeaking of Weston, recalls 1 vre
mark of old Farmer Simmons, who
resides onehasf mile fro m Weston.
Said he: “Thirty years ago, when 1
settled here, I thought it hard to be
forced to haul eotton to Macon.
When the ;Southwestern road was
completed, it was hard to haul it 20
miles to Dawson. Whenthe 8. A,
M. Road was built, I felt it hard to
have te haul nine miles to Richland.
Now wheu the Columbus Southern is
in oneshalf mile I am raising h—ll
because it doa’t pass the front door.”

A REMARKABLE SENTENCE.
A Judze Who™ Took WBelight in Pro
wonneing Deaihi Upon s Prisoner.
One of the most eceentric and at
the same time cne of the ahiest judges
that ever sat upon the far western
bench was Kirby Benedict, who, for
thirteen years, was a justice of the
supreme court of New Mexieo, fav~
ing been first appointed in 1858 by
President Pierce and reappointed by
President Buchanan, and nppoin-befl{
chief justice of the court by President
Lincoln. He was a man of great
ability and learning, strong in his
prejudices, violent in his passions and
relentless in his genvictions.
There are many anecdotes told of
Judge Benedict: But the crowning
act of his judicigl career, wae the
sentence of death passed by him upon
a prisoner convicted of murder,
which sentence was as follows:
‘ “Jose Maria Martin stand up.
Jose Maria Martin you have been
indicted, tried and convicted by a jury
of your countrymen of the crime of
marder, and the courtis now about
to pass upon you the dread sentence
of the law. As a usual thing, Jose
Maria Martin, it is a painful duty
for a Judgo of the court of justice to
pronounce upon a human being the
sentence of death. There is somes
thing horrible about it, and the mind
of the court naturally revolts from
the performance ot such a duty.
Happily, however, your case is re
lieveq of all such unpleasantness, and
the court takes positive delight in
isentcncing you to death. %
~ You are a young man, Jose Maria,
apparently oi good physical constitus
tion and robust health, Ordinarily |
vou might bave looked forward to
‘many years of life, and the court has|
iuo doubt you have, ani have expect
ed to die atagreen old age; but you
re about to be cut oft as the conse
‘quence of your own act. Jose Marin
Martin, it i mow in spring time: in
ittle while the grass will be sprin
fug up in these heautitul valleys, ano
m these broad mes s and mountai
sides fluwers will be bloonting, and
the birds singing sbove your lowly
head,
“The gentence of the court is that
vou he *aken fiom this place to the
county jail, that you there be ket
safely apd geeurely confined in the
castody of the sherifl until the day
appoinged oy yon execation. Be
very careful Mr. Sheriff, that he has
n 6 opportunity to escape, and that
you have him at the appo uted place
at the appointed time, and that you
bero kept Jose Marin Martin, until‘]

month does Friday about two wev!\s!
trom this come?” “Murch 22, your l

the 224 of Mareh, when you will be |
taken from you place of confinement
to some safe and convenient spot
within the zounty (that is in your
digeretion, Mr. Sneriff; you are only
confined to the limits ot the ceunty),
and that you be hanged by the neck
until you are dead, and—the court
wag about to add, Juse Maria Martin,
‘may God have mercy on your soul,’
but the court will not assume the re
sponsibility of asking an all-wige
providence to do that which a jury of
your people have refused tc do. The
Lord couldn’t have merey on your
soul. However, if you have any res
ligious belief, or are connected with
any religions organization, it might
be well enough lor you to send for
your priest or your mivister and get
from him—well, such consolation as
you can; but the court advises you to
place no reliance upon anything of‘
that kind. blr. Sheriff, remove the
prisoner-"—Santa [e letter in Pittss

Dawson Is !nterested In This,
The Wlls providing for federal
courts at Columbus and Athens were
teported favorably to the senate to
day. Both bills have passed the
house, and the chances are they will
become laws before congress expiress.
The Columbus bill, providing for a |
western division of the northern ju
dicial district of (eor_ia, provides
for the tollowing ecounties: Muscogee,
Heard, Troup Moriwether, Harris,
Talbot, Taylor, Marion, Chattahoo
chee, Stewart, Schley, Webster,
Quitman, Clay, Randolph, Calhoun,
Early, Baker, Miller, Dceatur and
Terrell.
The Athens bl provides for a west
ern division of the northern, composed
of the courties of Banks, ¢larke,
Elbert, Franklin, Greene, Habersham
Hirt, Jackson, Morgan, Madison,
Oglethorpe. Oconee and WValton,
Each ot the bills provide for two

THE CASUAL COMMENTATOR
l A citizen of Americus, and he is
’wurth his weight in gold to her,
| talked to me the other
;duy in a strain of high enthusiasm
‘over the fine prospects ot Dawson
and the splendid nerve and sagacity
of its business men.
[ The gentlemen in quest'on was the
wxecutive head ot ene.of Americus
first business enterprises—-an institus
tion whose career ot prosperity has
been 80 stsady that it has constntly
to keep its eye open tor eulargement
at home and expansion over other
fields,
This Americus gentleman whose
vorce is heard in many markets, never
tails upon oceasion to pay tribute to
the intelligent comprehension and the
prompt enterprise of Dawson ecapitals
'iels. I have reasons to kuow that its
trequent repetition upon the lips of a
'vigorous and enthusiastic business
man has helped materially to swell the
gathering volume of Dawson’s com
mercial repute, and to emphasize the
good name which 8o many events of
the last two years have given the
city. I
The truth is, it we only knew it,
Dawson is ewjoying a remarkably
healthy reputation just now among
the well intormed people of the couns
try. Beyond the solid prosperity of
its business houses, the advance in
its methods, the expansion of its buss
iness movements and the improve.
ments of its public works and places,
the wonderful and gigantic develop
went of its railroad interests has
turned public attention to it to
degree that should be realized and
itilized by every sagacity of onr
nunicipal life.
And g 0 it goes everywhere that
Dawson is neck deep in the aunshine
f business, promise an | prospority.
Let us reaize then that this era is
opportani.y golden,slourious opportu
inty and let us meet it with sleriness
diligence and comageouns seizare o
events, Here is the yolden rule for
building citiess Cosopperative and
comageous enterprise. Those words
should be writenr as u lezead or ius
spiration upon the high places of every
public building, and over the
managers’ desk of every conuting
house in Dawson. With' judicious
courage the most prodizious results
may be attained in business, But
even ccurage, judicioys, and steady
and willingly, may be thwarted and
nulified by lack of anity and co=op
eration amonfi the torces movinr to a
comn.on end. There isn't a city in
southwest Georgin with a present
promise of developtwen equal
just now to Dawson. Lt us get into
phalant and go out to meet it.
It may be justas well to finda bet
ter model 1n other things, but in the
name of a justified and gloriously
vindieated policy, lat us emuicate
Americus united and unfailing ener
gy of co~operative enterprise,
This is all that is needed to enable
Dawson to staud on the platform of
her car of progress and wave Ameri«
cus a cheerful commerciil adieu.
A Story of a Man,
“Young man, take my advice and
pay for things as you go. Donot run
up bills."
This was the sage advice of a well
known business man the other day.
“Why?” continued he, ““because in
the end you will have to pay tor it
all, and there is no telling for how
much else besides, 1 will tell you a
little incident that came under my
observation recently, aund you will
see why I say so. The proprietur of
a large provision store in this city
made a credit sale of a fine ham to
one his customers, but much to hix‘
surprise be found out a little later
that lie had forgotten to whem he |
had sold it and failed to make any ‘
note of it,

men who happened to be in the store
at the time the transaction took place,
thouh for the lite of him he could
not think which one had gone ofi
with that piece of swine. But, noth.
ing daunted, told Lis bookkeeper to
charge wp one ham to each of those
thirl.een“%:flurent accounts, telling
him at the same time that when
twelve of the men objected to pu)ingi
for it to explain to them that it wns\
a mistuke that would not oceur

“What happencd? Why, twelve

INVOLUNTARY DECOLEITE.
A SHOULDER STRAP'S ILL-IIMED
BREAK AT A RECEPTION.
An incident occurred at the White
House roception on Friday evening
that has since been the talk of the
social world of Washington, writes
the New York Suu's ecapitol corres- 1
pondent. A lady prominent in 80- |
ciety, the married daughter of a
wealthy Western senator, who is al
widewer, was the heroine m;
vietim. She is noted for the magnifis,
cence of her extremely decollette cose
tumes, aud, on this occasion, the
dress was a decollecte indeed. The
bodice was simply a piece of filmy
lace and a small bit of satin not much
wider than a waist belt, with a nar
row shoulder strap which supported
the whole garment. The lady remoy
ed her wraps and enwred the biue
room on the arm of her father, They
passed down the line ot the receiving
party and mingled with the guests
in the reception room proper, Post
master-General Waoamaker had just
offered his arm to the lady prepara
tory to a promenade through the east
room when the accident occurred.
The trail support that held the waist
in place over the plump, white
shoulders gave way, and the loosened
protection of lacs and ribbons slid
down over the arms in a hopeless
awkward manver. Had it not been
for the large bouquet of roses tha t
was carried by the lady and utilized
a 8 a screen, the predicament would
have proven even more embarrassing
tof, owing to the density of the
throng, immediate escape was impossi
ble. The wite of a Western senator,
when she saw the accident, assisted
the unfortunate lady to the cloak
room, in the absence of Mr. Wanas
maker, who had fled. When she
returned to her triends she said: *I
have been looking for several win<
ters for that accident to happen.”
A Monkey Language.
Scientists have stumbl-d upon the
fact that monkeys have a language,
and that while it is crude and some.
what abbreviated, the members of
that tribe are enabled by it (o fully
express their wants aud air their
opinions among their companions,
The' discovery was made by Dr. Gar
ner of Roanoke, Va., who succeeded
in getting » monkey to talk inw a
graphophone and atterwards scudied
the elementary sounds. Five words
have been made out—the sounds ex~
pressing fear, food, anger, apprecias
tion and pain, and the doctor believes
he will saon discover enough of their
vocabulary to enakle him to establish
intelligent communication between
the man and the monkey,
W hat a field of spaoulation this
discovery opens! It seems that the
South is upon the eve of a Jgreat ex
odus movement on the part of the
regroes, and our old-time ootton
pickers seem bent on leaving. Who
knows but that the monky may take
his place and by means ot the dis
covery be gradually brought to hoe
the erops, pick the cotton, gather the
grain, and eyen split wood on a eold
tfrosty morning? Who knows, but
that in years to come shiploads of
monkeys may he gathered to the
shores of America by the thri'ty Pu
ritans and sold at so many dollars
per head to the Southern farmers, the
same as their dusky forerunners were
scld by the progenitors of the Puria
tans aforesaid? Who can tell, also,
whether or not, in the years to come,
the missing link ot the researchiul
Darwin may not be discovered and
the monkey take its place anong
the people of the earth? And this
discovery being made, who but they
would be raised to all diguities of cit
izens, empowered with electric: Yrans
chise by a 44th Amendment the
Constitution, and be used to swell the
weakening ranks of the great Repub
lican party.
The mind staggzers as it reaches
into the tield of speculation thrown
wide open by the dire discovery ot a
monkey langaage, and tha blessings
and curses stalk forth like grim and
hastly spcetros, Ifall thesz are ¢
come from the di covery, the ¢ r.es
outweigh the blessings, aud if the
importation cf African moukeys
would eatail the train of evils which
their human forerunners entailed, in..
vestigation ot the language should
cense, and the playful monkey allow
ed te busk in the shades of ignorance
to fill bis allotted sphere as the wons

I BLACK MILK AND BUTTER. '
| Singular Produet of an Otherwise
l Well-Disposed Animal.
- Rupert Hansborough, leather deal
er of Chillicothe, 0., is the possessor
of & natural curiosity in the shape
of & cow which gives black milk, She
|is on Mr. Hansborough’s farm, sit
{ uated a few miles out of towa, and
can be seen at any time grazing in
! his pasture, and at milking time her
| sinzular yield will be showa anyone
; desiring to behold it. Of mixed breed,
Jersey and Durham, with a strain of
Avyrshire, she was calved on the farm
and was the second born to her moth.
er whose milk presented no peculiari..
ty, and whose first calf, a heifer, . too,
still gives an abuudant of natural
tinted milk. :
Mollie. as she is called, isa pretty
little cow, with nothing unusual in
her appearance, and has borne al
ready five young, which have thriven
' well on her black milk. .It produces
a fair amount of cream, which is a
trifle lighter in color, and which,
- when churned, makes butter resems
bling cola tar, but as palatable as
though of golden yellow. Mr. Hans
‘borough says that at first they were
afraid to drink or use the milk in any
way, but, overcoming their prejuice,
now enjoy it a 8 any other.
He has received numbers of offers
for her, both fiom the proprietors of
museums and stockmen, but declined
them from hopes tha! she will yet
transmit her peculiarity to some ot
her progeny. Chemists in Richmond
and Washington have analyzed the
milk, both fresh and made into but~
ter, but declare that they can detect
nothing to account for its sable color,
but attribute it to some unique
coloring pigmentin the corpuscles, of
ber blood.-—Detroit Tribune, ;
Wonderful§Curiosity.
There is in Macon a living ossified
man. His name is C. D. Hicks. He
was 54 years old last New Year's day.
He was a fireman cn a railroad termin
sting at Racine, Wis. Oa that day,
raged ove of the fiercest snow storms
ever known in that section, and in/il'.
were gtorm bound the engine and tgaia
on which Mr. Hicks was empl%o;_l.
His engineer was thrown h'orfl"&he
engine and lost in the blizzard.” Mr.
Hicks was so exhausted” from
overwork and loss of sléep that for
hcurs he slept standing at his
post, with his clothes frozen
to him, When released he went to
a hotelin Beliot, Wis., and betore
retiring directed that his clothes - be
dried, which request was neglected,
compelling him in the morning to put
them on damp. For thirtyssix honrs
tollowipg he worked with the thers
mometer below zero,
When he returned to his home in
Racine, he was atticked by a vio'eat :
cold; over two month s afterward he
recovered sufficiently to do so light
work in the company’s shops. Twelve
years ago last April he was taken
with violent pains, which were soon
followed by the gradual ossification of
all hislimbs and then hisbody.
The hardships he bad endured
had frozen and destroyed the marrow
in all his bones excepting his head.
For eleven years he has lain in his
bed, helpless and motion'ess.
His vital organs are comparitively
healthy, but his body and limbs are
absolutely dead. He can slightly
move his left arm. His jaws became
set, and teeth had to be extracted,
in order to have an aperture through
which he could be fed. His eye~
sizht gave out with his other fune
tions,but he can still distinguish light
from darkuness. His appetite is good
and no one thinks more of taking
good care of his health and wishes
more to avoid the inevitable grave
than does Mr. Hicks,
Heis a good conversationalist, and
is pleased to talk with penple who
visit him.—Macon News.
