Prof. C. E. Stowe, the hus-

gigr We hope that there will be
no hack-down in the claims made
on Mexico for the murder of
Itasurcs by Mondragon, the Mexi
can ollicial, who had him kidnapped
and shot. The claim in behalf ot
his widow and children call for
$100,000.
Mr. Beecher has greatly
disappointed his English audiences.
They express surprise at the repu
tation lie has made in this county
as a pulpit orator. He went to
England once too often, on a form
er visit he made a most favor
able impression.
fW Another largo strike in New
York among the street car drivers.
They not only quit? work, but where
ever they can over ride the police,
they stop the movement of cars by
running them oil' the track and
overturning them. As many as
1,000 policemen have been required
at one point to preserve order and
prevent interference with the run
ning of the cars. The end is not
yet.
iW The artesian well recently
bored by the city of Savannah near
it waterworks reached a depth of
)!-•'» feet, and there is a flow of
water which rises 2il teet above the
ground. The city proposes to bore
tv half dozen of these wells, which
will he enough to furnish all the
water needed. Savannah uses about
100 gallons of water daily to each
inhabitant, which is more than any
city in the Union. The average is
40 gallons to eaclt citizen.
In 1884 the national Demo
cratic convention which met at
Chicago, among the many weighty
reasons set fourth why the Repub
lican party should be hurled from
power, was because a reserve of
over $100,000,000 surplus was held
in the treasury, and that either this
amount should be used in reducing
the public debts or be used in les
soning the taxes. Mr.Cleveland has
been in power 18 months. There
is a surplus of $210,000,000 in the
treasury. Congress just before its
adjournment passed a hi 11 for pay
ing out this large suplus. Mr.
Cleveland takes advantage of his
prerogative, and this act of con
gress is a dead letter.
1ST q ’lie residence of Capt.
•Nelms, U. S. Marital for Georgia
was burned on last Saturday night.
Extensive improvements were just
being completed ana Capt. Nelms
expected, the following week, to
take out his insurance. The Are
was the work of incendiaries, as
the building was fired in six differ
ent places, all the contents of the
lnui.se were destroyed and the fam
ily made a very narrow escape.
'I lie incendiaries it is thought came
same distance, and were doubtless
moonshiners. The position of l\ 8.
marshal is a very trying one, his
duties bringing him constantly in
cnilission with tho worst element
in the state, ilicit distillers and
avowed violators of the revenue

Effects ot ilcnt anil Drought lor August.
For days the thermometer regis
tered from Ido to 112 degrees in the
shade in Texas and several of the
Northwestern states. Besides the
heat, portions of the same sections
of country have suffered from a
widespread and destructive drought.
Iu some counties of Texas ruin has
not fallen for fourteen months, of
course in these counties no crop
will he made and the people will
suffer. Along with this heat and
drought extensive forest fires have
prevailed. Michigan and Wiscon
sin have sustained immense losses.
At this season of the year xvheft a
tire starts on the grassy plains, or
in the dry forests, it burns fiercely
and human effort is powerless in
the face of such an enemy. Noth
ing will extingish it hut a copious
rain, and in its absence the flames
rush on until they have devoured
forests, farms and villages. Tn 1825
a forest fire in the Northwest was
started by a band of Indians who
neglected to put out their camp
tires. It destroyed* 0,000 square
miles of virgin forest, burned
up three growing towns, killed 500
people and destroyed thousands of
cattle and wild animals, besides
the buildings and crops on hun
dreds of farms. A piece of teritory
nearly as large as the state of
Massachusetts was turned into a
desert and remained so half a
century.
The disaster of this summer is
nearly as bad as the one of 1825.
The damage reaches into the
millions. The worst of it is that the
forest lost in this way cannot be
replaced. Climatic changes en
sue. Rivers and streams dry up
and in the following years the
territory thus laid waste is liable
to be visited by cloud bursts and
cyclones.
The concomitants of this heated
weather and those protracted
droughts are oftentimes of the most
fearful character. The prediction
that storms and tornadoes would
follow has been generally believed,
and was verified on Friday and
Saturday last in portions of Texas
and other sections. The storm at
Galveston and Indianola was ter
rific. Our reports are that at Indi
anola during the storm the signal
office building was blown down and
its officers and inmates killed.—
Fire broke out among the ruins
which extended for blocks on both
sides of the streets destroying many
houses and much valuable property.
The waters rose and flooded the
whole place, a large number of lives
were lost. The railroad tracks were
washed away, and it is impossible
for trains to reach Indianola.—
There is great destitution among
its poorer classes. Never before
was the lower Texas coast visited
by so terrible and destructive a
storm. It extended for 200 miles
inland, destroying thousands of
houses and involving a pecuniary
loss ot many millions of dollars.
Among the poorer classes great
desolation must prevail, as few
were able to save any considerable
portion of their small possessions
from the general wreck. The en
tire crop of the present year is gone,
and a vast deal of suffering must
ensue, especially among the negroes,
most of whom are without means
of any kind. The lower end of the
peninsula is completely washed
away. Many people aro missing.—
The storm came in tho shape of a
hurricane. The waters of the Gulf
roe up and in three hours tho
whole peninsula on which Indiano
la is situated was 10 feet under
water. The total loss as far as
known to Texas from tho Gulf
storm is lives lost, 88 loss to crops
$1,000,000, loss to city and town
property $.'1,000,000, loss to shipping
and lvarhnr improvements $000,000.
We fear that later as tho reports
come the losses of life and property
will he greatly increased.
While it is called unwise for one
to cross tho bridge before lie readies
it. Yet we would not lie at all
surprised if this section got a bene
fit before many days. The weather
indications all point to it. If' it
comes we hope “the Lord will
temper the minds to Ills shorn
lamb.
Hon I mi Defaulter mid Suicide.
“One.hy one, the roses fall.” Win.
Gray, Jr., the fate Boston defaulter
and suicide was a member of one
ot the old New England fami
lies, their ancestral tree taking root
\ears proceeding the revolution.
'Tho family always kept up its
prestige, its representatives being
regarded us men of knightly hear
ing and lofty motive though, cold
haughty. It is unfortunate that
one black sheep showd have dis
graced a bun ily so proud of its an
tecedents. When tho escutcheon
of such a family is tarnished, and
its proud name dishonored by one
of its members, we feel great regret,
we know of no more priceless leg
acy that tho embodiment of tho
sentiment of the inscription we
have somewhere seen or read “all
the sons were brave, and tho
daughters virtuous.”
Meeting orUin Howard Agricultural flub.
'The weather was so very inclem
ent on tin* first Thursday in July
there was no meeting of the club.
The August meeting came off
the regular time, with a good at
tendance, at Herndon. Judge J.
B. Jones was called to the chair.
They secretary having read the
minutes, the following subject,
continued from last meeting was
announced. “What price can we
afford to pay for labor to make our
farms remunerative at the pres
ent price of farm products? Which
is the best system of working the
negro wages, croping, or renting?
The opinions of of the different
members on the subject during
the first discussion, were reiterated
at the August meeting. Judge J.
B. Jones, who was absent at the
June meeting agreed with the gen
eral opinion of the club that 25
cents per day and board, was all
that could he paid to good men
hands, to make cotton profitable,
and advanced the following ideas:
In paying negroes, lie felt that
lie was committing a moral wrong
to give more than was absolutely
necessary for their living, as the
surplus was used for indulging
their vicious and depraved appe
tites, and in enabling them to
spend a greater portion of their
time in idleness. 'They are con
stantly calling for money with
which to buy clathing, hut very sel
dom used it for that purpose; when
ever he saw a negro with a new
suit of clothes on, he took it for
granted he was ready to move.
He impressed upon the club
that money was no encourage
ment to the negro to work, and in
giving more than his necessities
required, we were doing him, as
well as ourselves a wrong.
After the war, the wages system
was once adopted and gave most
general satisfaction; later on rent
ing and cropping gradually took
its place—the wages system is
again coming into favor.
From a remark of one of the
members, quite a discussion was
sprung about growing and cultiva
ting grass; after many pros and
cons, it was generally conceded that
it could he grown advantageously
in our county, and if land costing
$500, per acre could be made pro
fitable in grass, we could grow it
profitably on our cheap soils.
The subject chosen for the next
discussion was: “When is the best
time for planting oats? Which is
the best method for prepairing
land? Which'is the best method
for manuring and which are the
best oats for planting?”
Tho club adjourned to meet
again the 1st Thursday in Septem
ber, at Herndon.
Monte Carlo.
A lady who recently lost $00,000
at the gaming tables at Monte Carlo
committed suicide. This makes
the seventy-sixth case of suicide
owing to gaming losses at Monte
Carlo since the beginning of the
season—a sad commentary on the
effects of gambling. Monte Carlo
has a world wide reputation for its
gambling dens—and men and wo
men, lords and ladies, occupying
the highest social positions of Eu
rope are its patrons. The present
Duke ol Marlboro, the brother of
Randolph Churchhill and the lineal
representative of the great soldier
of that name, has squandered his
millions at these gambling resorts.
He is tho owner of Blenheim, one
of the finest estates in England,
given to his illustrious foreparent
by the English government for his
illustrious services. Upon this estate
is a magnificent castle furnished
regardless of expense, filled with
rare paintings of tho old masters
and costly presents from the crown
ed heads of Europe, which have
been heirlooms in the family for
several generations. 'The Godfor
saken representative of this old
family is a roue and confirmed gam
bler. lie has squandered every
thing he could lay his hands upon—
fortunately the lands are entailed,
but ho is selling off some of the
works of art, rare paintings, treas
ured heirlooms of the family. A
year ago he sold one painting which,
had been a present from his coun
try to tho great Warrior Duke, tor
#350,000, the English government
being tho purchaser. Recently he
sold at public auction an ontiro
gallery of rare paintings and works
of art. lie is without doubt the de
generate son of an illustrious sire.

Near Pierce chapel, on Mr. R.
K. Heave’s place a hermit named
James Howard has lived for seve
ral years. His residence is a little
hut off trom the road and hidden
by briars weeds and bushes. He
has no desire to accumulate any
mdney, and rarely works more
than one day in the week.
Some years ago he saved up
$300, but was robbed of his money
by night. Since then he lias never
wanted more than enough atone
time to buy a few days’ rations,
and a day’s labor will supply his
rations for a week. He has two
or three small patches of corn, and
kills rabbits and other game with a
gun of his own manufacture.
When lie leaves home lie locks the
door with two heavy padlocks, and
these locks constitute a valuable
portion of his property. It might
he thought that Jim leads a lonely
life, hut he says he enjoys it, and
has no desire for company. He
is about 50 years old, and was mar
ried many years ago, but was not
pleased with female society, and
lie and wife were separated by
mutual consent. Jim says that he
wants nothing more to do with
women.
Jim is never worried about po
litical campaigns and is indifferent
to the fate of candidates. Neither
congressmen nor legislators inter
ests him, nor does he care who gets
the post office. When the rabbit
crop is good Jim is happy, and has
more at stake in the plum and
blackberry yield than he has in
Cleveland’s administration.
An Adirondack Serpent
Burdette In Brooklyn Euglo.
The reptile, when lie saw ho was
discovered, lifted his scaly head
above the grass an instant to lay
his course, and, with fire sparkling
from his wicked eyes, came straight
toward us. When he was within
a few yards, however, a well direct
ed shot from a revolver and a
shower of stone turned him aside
a little. As he paused, with the
evident intention of renewing ids
charge, I fired nnother shot, my
last cartridge, and, grasping the
club with both hands, determind
to sell my life dearly. As he came
on again I struck at the monster
twice, missing him both times, but
turning him back. As lie fled
crashing through the underbrush,
his lddeous figure gleamed In ter
rible undulations. I was after him,
He shot out of the woods, however
and swept into tho road far in ad
vance of mo. Less than ten feet
from him a little girl was picking
raspberries. I shouted to her with
all my strength, calling upon her
to fly, and screamed, “The snake!
the snake!” The child saw tho
scaly monster, and heading him
off as lie crossed tho road, she put
bare foot upon him and killed him
with a switch she broke from a
bush near by. She then went
on picking raspberries while 1
measured the snake. He was
nearly seven Inches long, hut you
need not say anything about that.
Dogallmtget Drunk.
I mllunni oils Journal.
Dogs that stay about saloons
much of the time very often ac
quire a taste for beer by drinking
water in to which a little beer is
poured. The appetite for it grows
until they relish pure beer. They
often become very fat from drink
ing it. The most famous of dog
tipplers ever in the city was Jack,
a tiig mastiff owned by John Brough.
He long ago sunk into a drunkard’s
grave. The Circle House saloon
was his favorite loafing place, and
lie was a sort of hail fellow well
met among the human drinkers
who congregated there. He would
wag his tail and beg for beer when
ho saw anyone drinking, and if ids
prayer was not answered he would
go behind the counter and lap from
the drippings in the bucket. He
would sometimes get so drunk that
lie would walk on both sides of the
pavement when lie got out.
His feet would be put out slowly
and fumblingly, the four of them
being pushed far out to fom- points
of the compass to keep from tailing.
He would often “not go home until
morning.” Early risers have many
a time seen him staggering along
the streets, getting home as best lie
could. lie was always ill when in
his cups, and those who knew him
gave hint plenty of room at such
times. A local sportsman is said
to own a pointer which is of a
rather lazy temperament. The dog
keeps his eye out, and whenever he
sees his master getting his gun
ready and fixing up his wagon to
go hunting, hurries to a neighboring
saloon and drinks until lie is too
drunk to move.
A SI unite A llllctlon.
CJartersvllle Cournnt.
“Last week there came toCarters-
ville for medical treatment from
Cherokee county, a young man by
the name of ‘Vec’ Salms, who was
in a most pitiable condition. This
young man seven years ago was a
hard-working and progressive citi
zen with a young wife and two chil
dren. Now he is a perfect wreck
with no prospect of getting better.
Seven years ago Mr. Salms was
engaged in sawing up logs for
shingles, aud while turning over a
log brought to view a large rattle
snake‘pilot,’ which bit him near the
ankle on his left foot. He went
home and was confined to his bed
for some time, but grew well
enough to go about, hut not able
to work. He has grown worse every
year, and his mind lias become
seriously affected. The strange
part of the story is the poor fellow
has every action of a snake. Ilis
walking amounts to nothing hut
the windings and wrigglings of a
snake. He becomes worse during
dog days, at which time he hisses
and snaps like a maddened snake.
His eyes haveithat gleaming fire so
characteristic of tho reptile.—
When in one of his fits ho is hor
rible to look upon, but he never
attempts to do any harm. Unfor
tunately no physician lias been
found to do him any good, and his
removal to the lunatic asylum is
contemplated.
An Alligator Swallows a Man.
Orange City (Fla.) Times.
Last week a man, presumably a
tramp, knocked at L. 1‘, Tliursby’s
door about!» o’clock at night after
tho family had retired. Mr. Thursby
struck a match and responded to
the call. The man stated that he
had walked fifteen miles that after
noon to take the night boat bound
north and got left, and wanted to
stay all night. Thursby handed
him a key pointed to tho barn,
stating that that was the best lie
could do for him. Not until after
Mr. Thursby had retired sometime
did he think of tho ten-foot alligator
his boys had in the barn for the
entertainment of strangers next
winter and worried considerable
about the man. As soon as lie
dressed he hurried out to the barn
next morning to see about the man.
He found the door locked with tho
key turned on the inside. Ho
forced a side window open, found
the alligator iu its usual corner, but
tho man was missing. Tho evi
dence gathered points to the de
struction of the man during the
night, as tho animal ate nothing
during the next few days. Nothing
can be heard of the man, and it is
believed ho came to an untimely
end that night. Whether the man
was a worthless tramp or an honest
and worthy citizen, it is one of the
saddest catastrophes tho Times lias
yet been called upon to chronicle.

t utting Set Free.
El Paso Tex., Aug. 23—At 11:30
o’clock this morning Cutting was
taken once more before Judge Cas-
tenada’s court, when the official
minutes of the Chihuahua supreme
court, which lias arrived this
morning, were read to him, which
recited a decree releasing him from
further custody. The decision of
the court is based upon tho fact
that Medina, the offended party
had waived his right of a civil suit
for damages, the court holding that
this ended the proceedings of the
state. When released by the court
Cutting replied: “As long as I am
not further retained by the court
I accept my liberty, and request
that a copy of the decree of the
court be given me for my future
use.” To this tho court consented.
The judge sent a copy of the decree
to the Judge Politic, who sent back
word that he in person would give
Cutting his liberty, t accompanied
with some wholesome advice.
To a reporter Cutting said: “Well
I can’t understand what all this
has to do with my card published
in the El Paso Herald, for which
I was solely arrested and was
being tried at the time my govern
ment made a demand for my im
mediate release.”
It is said on the other side of the
river that the Mexican constitution
prohibiting the residence of agita
tors and other dangerous characters
in public will be enforced against
Cutting.
Tile Kundcrsrlllc Tragedy.
Macon Telegraph.
Saniiersvilt.e, August 25.—The
killing of O. A. Roughton by H. T.
Gilmore, yesterday, is the subject of
talk here to-day. The facts as re
ported are about these:
Yesterday Mr. Roughton was
walking on the street in an intoxi
cated condition with a negro man
who was taking him home. In
passing Mr. Gilmore the negro
brushed against him. Mr. Gilmore
said something to the negro about
taking up the entire side-walk.
Mr. Roughton said that whatever
was said to the negro was applied
to him, at the same time drawing
his knife. Mr. Gilmore drew his
pistol, and to frighten Roughton
fired into the ground. Roughton
then advenced, knife in hand, when
Gilmore again fired, with good aim.
The following was the verdict of
the coroner’s jury: Wo find that
O. A Roughten came to his death
from a gun shot would, at the hands
of H. T. Gilmore, and we fine the
same to be involuntary manslaugh
ter.
The coroner issued a warrant and
fixed tiie bond at $1,500. Gilmore
came in town, gave himself up and
gave bond to-night.
A Singular Death,
Duhlnnoga Sentinel:
“One of the most peculiar and
singular deaths that we were ever
called upon to chronicle occurred
at the Briar Patch about 7 miles
below here in the lower part of our
county on Saturday last. Some
time during last week Mrs. May,
wife of Owen May, while busy at
some house work, was stung on the
end of the nose by a hornet. Mrs.
May thought nothing of the matter
until her nose began swelling, giv
ing her severe pains in the head.
Still it was thought that nothing
serious would ensue from the swel
ling and only tho common reme
dies were used to allay it and kill
the poison. The lady gradually
grew worse and the swelling con
tinued, going into the head and
neck. A physician was summoned
hut all efforts to subdue it proved
of no avail, and it slowly extended
to tho body until it reached the
heart, when the lady died in excru
ciating pains. The head and upper
portions of the body were enlarged
into an enormous size. It was
nearly a week after she head been
stung until her terrible death oc
curred.”
The DeKalb Chronicle is respon
sible for saying that Mr. (J. M. Can
dler, of Decatur, has seen a squash
growing on Mr. John Moore’s place
in DeKalb county, which weighs
117'.. pounds, and measures (5 feet
and 1 Inch in length, and 5 feet nnd
U inches in circumference. Tho
squash is not yet done growing.
Mr. Candler further informs the
Chronicle that Mr. John Miller, of
Stone Mountain, bus a watermelon
growing on his place which weighs
110 pounds nnd 7 ounces.

gave $8,000,000 to found a hospital
and a university. A. T. Stewart
started two vast enterprises for the
good of his fellow men. One was
Garden City on Long Island, as a
home for deserving mechanics, and
the other was the working girl’s
home. He left $1,000,000 to Judgo
Hilton and $325,000 to his em
