The Kail road Is Coming.
For some years past there has
been a great amount of talk about
the construction of a railroad be
tween Jacksonville, Fla., and Mil
ieu, Ga., thus opening a new lino
north and east via Augusta and
Spartanburg, and the Richmond
and Danville system, and west and
northwest via Jessup and the East
Tennessee, Georgia and Virginia
railroad; but heretofore every effort
to raise the requisite means for the
construction of the road has failed.
The Jacksonville Timex- Union an
nounces that it is now certain that
the road will be built. The enter
prise, it says, is in the hands of a
strong and thoroughly reliable com
pany, with ample means to com
plete the road. On December 22,
1885, the contract was awarded to
M. T. Dill, of Portsmouth, all par
ties signing the contract and the
required bonds being given. Heavy
(50-pound steel rails have been pur
chased for the entire road, and the
contract stipulates that the work is
to be begun by the 10th of January,
and to be completed by October, so
as to be ready for next season’s busi
ness. The work is to be commenc
ed on the Milieu end of the road,
and worked towards Jacksonville,
and the understanding is that it
is to terminate at Hart’s road, con
necting with the Fernandina and
Jacksonville road at that place for
this city.
This road it is claimed will shorten
the distance between Jacksonville
and New York between 75 and 100
miles.
[The opinion has been freely ex
pressed that the new road will use
the track of the Savannah <k Augus
ta road from Millen to Augusta.—
While we do not think so,as we are
of the opinion that the nesv compa
ny will soon find it eminently to
their interest to build their own
road between these points, which
ever way it may go, it makes Millen
an important railroad center, and
increases its prospects for increase
in population, value of property
and general importance more than
100 per cent. Forty years ago the
prospects ol Atlanta were no great
er, and who can mark the future
boundaries and rommercial impor
tance of that town. Only a few
years may elapse before Millen will
assume the dignity of a city, and
the Beacon become a metropolitan
journal. We beg to congratulate
our friends thereupon the brilliant
future which lies just a step before
them.—Ed. True Citizen.]
A Horrible Death.
Lumpkin, Ga., Independent: On
Tuesday afternoon a negro man
named Thomas Richards was kill
ed under the following circumstan
ces: Tom was quite an old man
and is said to have been between
70 and 80 years of age. For the
past two years he has been em
ployed at Grimes’ mill, and assisted
in ginning and packing cotton. On
Tuesday cotton had been placed in
the screw box, and when everything
was ready, Tom was instructed to
loose the levers used in packing the
bale of cotton. He did not succeed
in doing the work quick enough
and Mr. Fred Usher stepped for
ward, aud taking hold of the lever
told the old man to step aside.—
Tom stepped behind Mr. Usher
who had released the levers, and as
they swung around with lightening
liko rapidity, one of them struck
the old negro a fearful blow upon
the side of the head, knocking him
lifeless to the ground, and cutting
oir one of his ears. Mr. Usher
thinks that in trying to get beyond
the reach of the levers, Tom stum
bled, and was struck before he could
recover himself, and move beyond
the track of the lever. As soon ns
possible the old man was carried to
his house, uud a physician summon
ed. lie did not survive moro than
an hour, and, although the skull
was not fractured, the blow was
Hutficiont, to cause his death. Tom
was a faithful old man, and was
formerly a slave in the Fort family
A (omn Kxploden.
Yorkville, S. C., Enquirer.
On Friday last then was an oc
currence in the cemetery at this
place the like of which, perhaps,
was never known before. In 1875,
Mr. James A. Watson, of Clover,
whose family then resided in York
ville, lost a child, aged three or
four years, by death. At that time
Mr. Watson, was living in Balti
more, a teacher in the Bryant .Sad
dler Commercial College, and he
ould noteoveniontly leave his bus-
ness to attend the funeral, and in
his absence only temporary burial
was given the body, awaiting his
return home to secure a permanent
burial lot in the cemetery. This
was not practicable until recently,
on the extension of the cemetery
grounds, since which time he has
bought a lot, and oh last Friday in
company with Mr. J. Ed. Jefferys
and Dr. J. B. Allison, he went into
the cemetery to remove the body
to his lot. The burial case, a Fisk
metalic, was raised from the grave,
and a natural desire to look upon
the face of the child which died and
was buried during the father’s ab
sence, prompted Mr. Watson to a.ik
Mr. Jefferys to remove the lid cov
ering the glass panel over the face.
The lid was unscrewed and remov
ed, all three standing near, but ob
serving a film on the surface of the
glass, Mr. Watson requested Dr.
Allison to procure some material
for cleansing it off. The doctor
went to a residence near by to pro
cure some cloth for this purpose,
and while in the house an explosion
of gas ensued, shattering the glass,
which was a quarter of an inch thick
into numberless fragments, several
striking Mr. Watson in the face,
cutting it severely. One piece
struck the bridge of the nose,cutting
entirely through it. A few pieces
of the glass also struck Mr. Jefferys,
but he was not seriously hurt. The
casket had been out of the ground
several minutes when the explo
sion occurred, which was the result
of the expansion by the warmth of
the sun of the gas formed in it.—
The report of the explosion was
equal to that of a dynamite cart
ridge, and was noticed by persons
on Main street, more than a quar
ter of a mile distant. The face of the
child was in a state of excellent
preservation, as were also the buri
al clothes, and a wreath of flowers
on the breastseemed nearly as fresh
as when buried twelve and a half
years ago.

firw York I’«nny (IrocerteH on the Inrreanr.
Within the last six months a num
ber of Italians and Germans have
started penny groceries in the parts
of the.city populated by the poor,
says the New York Mail and Ex
press, and these places all seem to
be prosperous and thriving. Ten
conts is thought by these grocers to
he a big bill, and the investor of a
quarter is inevitably regarded as a
millionaire. In conversation with
a Mail and Express reporter, a lead
ing retail grocer said:
“There is no doubt that these pen
ny groceries are on the increase.
They are an evil, and the penny
grocer is really the poor man’s ene
my instead of his friend. In the
penny grocery the poor man pays
twice as much for his provisions in
the long run and doesn’t get as good
quality as if he bought them in mod
erate quantities from larger stores.
The penny groceries are stocked
with what the poor man is likely to
buy. The quality of the provisions
is not good; the coffee and tea are
especially poor, and the vegetables
invariably stale. Many of the penny
grocers sell bad whisky to their cus
tomers, but few allow it to be drank
on their premises.”
An Italian who keeps a penny
grocery in .South Fifth avenue, near
Bleeker street, gives the following
list as an illustration of what can be
done in a penny grocery with a sil
ver quarter:
Three ounces of coffee 1 con t
One ounce of tea 1 cent
Three ounces of rice 1 cent
Small loaf of stale bread 1 cent
Six sticks of kindling wood 1 cent
Three onions 1 cent
Four potatoes told)• 1 cent
Three ounces of barley 1 cent
Three ounces of brown sugar 1 cent
Four ounces of starch 1 cent
Thin slice bar soap 1 cent
Enough raisins for rice pudding 1 cent
Small teacup of black molasses 1 cent
Lampful of oil 1 cent

The Chinese question.
San Francisco, Jan. 5.—The city
council last night passed a resolu
tion to print an order introduced by
Supervisor Farwell, author of the
work, “Chinese at Home and
Abroad,” making it a misdemeanor,
with a heavy penalty attached, to
continue holding “Sand Lot” meet
ings, which have done so much to
create false impressions in the east
by making it appear that the only
persons in the city who are opposed
to the Chinese are the Sand Lotters.
Er. Farwell read a letter from Con
gressman Morrow in which the lat
ter Indicates the difficulties he has
to encounter in making the Eastern
people understand that the real and
substantial sentiment of the Pacific
coast is anti-Chinese, and that the
efforts of the people of the coast to
settle this question are neither in
cendiary nor violent. Mr. Morrow
points out that it will be a hard mat
ter to amend the existing restriction
act unless the Pacific coast Congres
sional delegates are able to give as-
surrances that the people engaged
in this agitation will be content with
legal methods in the settlement of
the Chinese question.

Cruelty to Tramps.
Tramps havo a hard time in some
parts of the country.
Near Rising Bun, Md., a few days
ago, a tramp called at lady’s house
and was inhumanly refused a third
piece of pie and an extra quart of
buttermilk. He wits also told after
he had been in the house only an
hour that his presence was disa
greeable. His sensitive nature re
volted at such treatment, and he
started for his hostess with a club.
It is difficult to believe it, but this
Maryland woman wrenched the
club from the tramp and gaye him
a merciless beating. The poor fel
low retreated up stairs, but his per
secutor followed him, whacked him
with the club, rolled him down
stairs, pushed him out of the house,
and then untied the dog.
The particulars of this outrage
have been published far and wide,
and the tramp fraternity have about
decided to boycott the entire state
ot Maryland. Things are coming to
a pretty pass when a gentleman of
leisure cannot get a little extra pie
and milk and lodging without being
beaten until he is black and blue,
Total 25ceut
A small family can live for a day
on these purchases. The coffee will
be sufficient for a big potful, and the
tea is enough for two drawings.
The rice and raisins make a small
pudding. The stale bread will serve
for a meal and there is enough sugar
to sweeten the tea and coffee. The
onions, potatoes and barley, with
the addition of a beef bone or piece
of meat and penny bunch of pot
herbs, will make a stew or soup,
There is enough soap to wash the
dishes and scrub the children’s
faces, enough oil and wick to last
all night, a scuttle of coal and wood
to kindle the fire in the morning.
Then there are lard, molasses and
the next thing to butter, olemarga-
rine, and the two good-sized pickles
for a relish.

Borne of our Georgia farmers are
getting very high-toned in the treat
ment of their visitors. Mr. John D.
Fred, of Macon, is one of this class,
and his latest novelty is an elegant
register, equal to that of any first-
class hotel, in which guests at his
“Bermuda Park” farm, with its
“Willow Brook Creamory” register
their names, places of residences,
dates of visits, etc. In addition to
other devices at the top of each
page, referring to live stock and
farm products, Is this motto: “The
pleasures of our guests are pleas
ures of ourselves.” If farming,
properly conducted, does not pay,
how can Messrs. Phillips A Crew bo
commissioned to get up such an ele
gant register for a Georgia farmer?
In farming, as in everything else,
what is worth doing at all is worth
doing well, and there is no reason
why a farmer’s house should not bo
as attractive and Joyous as that of
any other man, ho ho lawyer, doc
tor, merchant or politician.

Petersburg, Va., Jan. 4.—Pas
senger train No. 45 from the South
for Richmond, Washington and
New York, due here at 10 a. m. nar
rowly escaped disaster this morn
ing. On nearing the trestle bridge
two miles below Rocky Mount, a
station on the Wilmington and Wel

ed that it was on fire, and that
portion of it had been burned. See
ing the danger, and knowing that
it would be impossible for him to
stop the train before reaching the
trestle, he bravely remained in the
cab, although conscious that if the
train went through the trestle ho
would be killed or seriously hurt,
as well as the passengers. As quick
as a flash the thought occurred to
him that the best way to avert + he
impending accident was for the en
tire train to pass over that portion
of the bridge which had been burn
ed as rapidly as possible. He pull

the locomotive and passed over the
bridge at the rate of 00 miles an
hour, but so great was the concus
sion that followed that ono of the

This morning about G o’clock sev
eral residents of Glenville, which is
suburb of the city, were walking
on the Lake Bhore track when one
of them stumbled upon an object ly
ing on the ties. Upon examination
it was found to be the terribly man-
led remains of a man. The legs
and body were frightfully cut and
bruised and the head was missing
from the trunk. Careful search
along the track for half a mile failed
to discover the head. Pieces of the
body, toes and lingers wore found
lying along the track, and pools of
blood in different place showed that
the engine must have struck him
several times. Bections of clothing
with pieces of flesh attached wen*
indiscriminately scattered around.

several hundred rods trom where
his body was discovered. In one piece
of his vest was found a letter ad

that the writer had just applied for
a divorce. The letter was written
upon the back of an order blank of

This is the only clue to the identity
of the body.
