CAPTURE OK A FIRE 1 UO. ■A White Man Charged With Setting Fire to it Willow's Cora Crib. On Wednesday morning last there was considerable excitement among our citi zens, c uised by the announcement that the corn cribs on the place of Mrs. Cinderella Guy, a widow' lady residing about four miles from town, had l>een fired by nn ineendia- ttry and, together with their contents, burn ed to !lie ground. The retort was true and MtiKpit ion fell on a whim man named Jack filld iaui.

Up to this morn ing only three have been heard from, two of which were paid to W. R. Jackson's brother, in Alabama. It is impossible to ascertain for how much he defaulted. The brother in Mobile has been arrested as being nn accomplice. W. K. Jackson has not as yet been arrested. The matter lms created a great deal of excitement here. Mr. Jackson has here tofore been an exemplary young man, and was considered one of the rising young men of this town.

Two Negroes Have a Bloody Set-to on the Train. Barxbsvilli, October 5.—Andrew Milner, a Bamesville negro, was seriously if not fatally injured on the down passenger train from Griffin yesterday afternoon. It seems that a crowd was returning from the association meeting jit Griffin and the car was crowded. Andrew ami another ne gro named Bill Davis hail a dispute shout the possession of a seat, which resulted in Davis gaining the seat In stepping ont into the aisle Andrew trod npon the feet of a girl. This angered Bill and he com menced to abuse Andrew. West Barksdale, a friend of Bill’s, saw the fight and also at tacked Andrew. He hail retreated to the lower step of the platform, when Bill Davis pulled out bis knife and gave him two fear ful stabs, one in the bead and the other in his thigh. He then knocked him off the can while they were running at a speed of forty miles per hoar. The unfortunate ntan fell on the sharp edge of the cross-ties and was badly mangled an 1 bruised. When found he waa Insensible and hia A rraBabllity that Month'* Act was Inspired by Others. Augusta Chronicle. John Wilkes Booth assassinated Abraham Lincoln, on hia own responsibility, nnd yet the Southern people, who were guiltless of offense, and who s ere horrified at the crime, suffered unspeakable tortures liecauso of that mndmiin's cruel nnd infernal deed. Non-, it is just possible that John Wilkes Booth lmd the ear of Murat Halstead, or some of the people to whom Halstead wrote confidential letters. In 1863 this Halstead thus wrote to Secretary Chose concerning Lincoln; “Can't you take him by the throat nnd knock his head against the wall, until he is brought to his senses on the wsr business?" He also sail there were persons who “would feel they were doing Gods service to lull him, if it were not feared Hnudiu is a bigger fool than ho is." This letter may have met the eye of Booth and “worked like madness in his brain." The death of Lincoln was a calam ity for the South. It waa just what the Jacobin ltadicala desired. As these latter alone, fora season, profited by Lincoln’s murder, they tuny have, by just such meth ods os those of Halstead, compassed the President's destruction, just os their lineal descendanta were, fonr years ago, construc tively guilty, according to Uuiteau, of Gar field's sanguinary removal. The revelation of Halstead’s letter, after so many year* of concealment, is one of the grand revenges of Time. It emphasizes and makes startlingly reasonable the firm belief of our friend, Mr. John T. Ford, that Booth waa worked np to this tragic act by the talk of such men aa Halstead, just aa Uuiteau waa inspired to kill Garfield by the ferocious attacks upon him by the ex treme, vindictive and diabolical spawn of uUra-Uodicol politicians. Verily, white Sherman and Hoar—Fal- staffs both—are plunging their theatric rapiers into the corpse of the dend'Con- federacy, the South stands by, calm and and peaceful, awaiting the vindication of truth and the salvation of the Lord. THE RAILROAD BILL. Opposeil to the Commission—A I'lan Sug gested by the Writer. Wabd’h, Ga, October 3d, VS85.—Editors Trlri/ra/ih: Common sense is again assuming the throne so long occupied, in the minds of our ]>eople in reganl to the Railroad Commission and railroad matters, by preju dice and injustice. They are beginning to see that in foisting the tyrannical and dictato rial commission upon these great interests of onr State, they have been almost guilty of a ftlo tie ne to one of the greatest instrumen talities of material progress anil prosperity. To say the least, the commission has proven u boomerang, which has wellmgh annihilated new railroad enterprises. Now, instead of curtailing this cross-breed of prejudice nnd injustice in the most npproved way, by cut ting its tail off just behind its ears, we see the tender hearted Legislature have adopted the phtu of cutting off a little of it ut a time nnd allowing that to heal, and so on, till they get it down short enough, or to the brute's ears. They nre proceeding in this way, we suppose, for fear that the blood and death struggles of the monster will make them faint, or nt least sick nt the stomach. Without recapitulating the stale sophistries used to inaugurate and sustain the commis sion for five years, we shall show that the real or imaginary wrongs inflicted by these monstrous monopolies and blood-thirsty tyrants are easily righted nnd perpetually obviated tor the future by bringing moro of them into existence. I am, have been, mid will continue lie a friend to the railroads. So ranch so that I have uever asked them to deadhead me n single mile, nnd yet am so much in favor of them that I wish they were so thick in Georgia that her farmers could go to mill on them cheaper than hitch ing up a male nnd wagon and sending a darky, who might have beeu nt work, to spend tlie day fishing, nnd say on his return tlie mill was crowded. Why people are so anxious for a railroad till it comes, nnd so lunch injured by it when it docs come, is something strange under the sun. Just ask the city in which was hatched the commis sion where she would be without her rail roads nnd what she would take for her dis criminations, nnd be without even these railroad privileges. An honest nnswer from her would be as good nn argument against the commission ns the railroads would want nt the bar of nn unprejudiced public opin ion. How would she have liked for it to have been five miles from its present depot? Put tho same question to every railroad cittjin the State, United States or world. Their answers should grind this monster of injustice to powder between the rocks of common sense nnd sutural justice. Not how to throttle those iu existence, but how to bring more railroads into being, should be the question absorbing tbe mind of those men who have tlie material prosperity of our State at heart, and who have no nxe to grind by fighting either for or ngninst the rail roads. Whnt hns Georgin demonstrated by the five years choking she has given the railroads? Exactly what the strongest boy in school did when be choked one of the little fellows—demonstrate that he conld, and wus cowardly aa well ns strong. That Georgia needa mere railroads is be yond dispute. How to get them the quick est, easiest, nnd nt the least cost, nre the vital questions of tho hour to those inter ested in the present nnd future welfare of our State. Build them with her convicts solves ail those questions, dodges thnt sense less constitutional proviso in regard to State aid to railronds, and wipes from Georgia's escutcheon thnt foul, inhmnnn, uncivilized, unchristian, fiendish, damnable stigma, tlie convict lease system. We hear tho cry of the vnltnres, tbe bark ing of tbe jackals, and maniac howls of the hyenas which have fattened and feasted around this slaughterhouse of Georgia’s honor, Christianity and humanity of vested rights, trill set up nt this proposition. But these nre only the wails nt disappointment shrieked ont to intimidate Georgia from snatching and giving a decent burial to what yet remains of that hideous monstrosity to which she from dire necessity gave birth. Let her now come to her senses nnd nse the immense powers she hns in her sixteen hun dred convict’, to resuscitnte those great de velopers of material prosperity, railroads, which she, by her folly nnd frenzy, has nearly, or completely strangled. Beginning with the oldest unfinished one chartered since the war, let (ieorgin grade, ernsstie, iron, put. up and soil or hold ns long as she pleases, or lease to some exist ing comnuny with protective provisos, etc., etc., eni-li road that is not finished as char tered within twelve months from the time she begins on tbe first. Let ber condemn tbe first one, annul tbe convict leases, place tho convicts in charge of tlie keeper of the penitentinry, nnd shirt him and them to work on it. It is a matter of easy conclusion to see how long it would he liefore we could have a railroad almost any whore we wanted it without iM really costing the State any thing. The enhanced value of property along the line would pay a big dividend on tbe Shite's investment of convicts nnd money. That there will bo objections mode to my plan wo expect, tlmt they luuonut hi anything serious, we doubt. That we run demonstrate this we do not ilonbt in the least. Barnard H. Lkhtbr. Klemriiil*erlng the hnusll-l'ox Scourge, New York Morning Journal. “Gentlemen,” said a tattered tramp in City Hall Park as he approached a settee which was entirely occupied, "1 am very tired.

What llnltliitnre Workmen Fminil t'nilrr a street of the .tlimimientul City. A city corres|Hindent writes to the Balti more Sun tho ioUowing: “A day or two ago, while the workmen of the new goa company veto preparing to lay the gas- pi!** on Fulton nvenne, between Fayette and Lexington streets, they came across a tombstone and some hones, which on first sight were thought to be those of a human being. On closer inspection, however, they were found to be those of u horse. Tlie tombstone was made of marble of alsrat two nnd a half feet in length nnd six inches square, with its four faces hrovght to a point at tho tup. On one of its faces it hail the letters C. N., olid on another thnt of the letter D. rut in the marble. Both the tombstone and the bones gave indication of great age, as the former waa darkened by the earth, while the latter had nearly all decomposed, so that what few bones were found were easily crumbled under the pressure of tbe band. The only portion of tlie animal which seemed to resist the decaying action of time was a large molar tooth, which I have now in my possession, and intend keeping na a relic of departed worth. The question has lieeu asked when and by whom was the horse buried. No one now living, Ipresnme, has any knowledge of the event. The horse wns probably named Charley, and bnving been a faithful and highly- prized animal, his master determined at his death to bnry him in one of his field* and mark the spot by placing at its head a mar ble tombstone.” llanilsouirr Than a llrlde. fbtttuoogi Time*, The Macon Tkleueafh has dropped its last name, enlarged itself, put on new clothes, and is handsomer than a bride.

SNAKF8 PARALYZE A SCHOOL. Wild Scene of Terror and Confusion Among the Children. Lander (Wyoming) letter to tho Denver Tribune; One day last week the well-modu lated voice of tlie school mistress of tho Lyon school said "noon" in its usunl calm tones, and the usual wild rusli for edibles followed the magic word. As an eight- year-olil boy thrust his hand into his din ner-basket and drew out u bottlo of milk the vicious warning of tlie deadly rattle snake was heard from the debtlis of the dinner-basket. Down went the basket with a crash, and in the frgments of n shattered pie-plate his snake- nliip coiled himself, while its busy tail made the air vibrate with its angry song, and that song was quickly re-echoed. From every comer of tlie school room came tlie fearful warning, and it wns seen that nt least half u dozen snakes had come to school. A wild scene of terror nnd confu sion ensued. Tlie usually suave and self- contained school-mistress made n hasty leap and loud shriek, tlie double effort lauding her on top of the highest desk in the room. Her example iu both leap and shriek was speedily followed, nnd the new pupila were left iu possession of the floor. A perfect babel of cries nnd screams announced that tbe school-mistress nnd tlie older giria wore in consultation ns to how to get rid of tlie undue amount of serpents that h«d so suddenly possessed them. In the midst of this effective discussion a 10- year-old boy succeeded in, forcing a side window open, nnd fulling nut, soon made his appearance witli a formidable club with which ne dispatched the snakes in rotation. There were found to be five, of the deadly rock variety. After tbe coast wns appar ently clear again, the demoralized ; nipils settled down ns best they • could to their dinners, when across the threshold enme in gathering folds wlint looked like tlie king of rattlesnakes, nnd making for the centre of the apartment coiled himself in a bunch as large ns a half bushel, while ids note of anger tilled tho room with its diabolical music anil the hear ers with a sickening dread. The desks were again resorted to, but this time the terror was too great for cries nnd shrieks. A trembling horror Heemml to possess all, while the glittering, bead-like eye of the huge reptile seemed to fascinnte with its scintillating glances. Jnst then the welcome roll of wagon whoela was heard on tho road, on tlie margin of which the school house stood. It broke tho spell of horror, nnd shriek after shriek on nil the scales of tho gamut resounded from the building. In a moment or two the burly form of n stal wart ranchman filled the doorway. Ho took in the situation ut n glance. A quick spring to the rondside anil back and the {listening terror lay writhing beneath a Mulder. It proved to be five nnd one-half feet in length and carried fourteen rattles. There woh no more school thnt day, nnd tho lionse nnd grounds for half n mile around have been religiously searched every morn ing by thnt school-mistress before she opens school. BEAUTIFUL CLOTH OF GLASS. New York Tribune.

Said n glass miinufue- tnrer, when asked to tell something about the-latter form of glass; “The first processes of making woven glass are tbe same us in malting any kind of colored work. The ingredients, sand, col oring, etc., arc mixed together and placed in the furnace to melt. When the musshus about become fused into a molten sub stance, the furnace is opened and some of it taken out by two workmen, who stretch it in the faetory until it looks like a red hot rope from one-half to three-fourths of nn inch in diameter. Those ropes nre allowed to cool, und then are taken into the spin ning room, fn tho centre of this room is an immense wheel of wood, eight and a half feet iu diameter, Thu periphery is foot wide, us smooth as the glass itself. At one side nt tlie wheel is a blow pipe, so arranged thnt the blow is at right angles with the wheel, and blowing hot air. The bar of glass ns it comes into the rimm is given to an operator, who holds it in this blow-pipe, and it melts. Another work man tnkc* u pair of pinchers and draws n thread of glass from u melting bar, and this ho winds about the wheel, when tho stuuu is turned on and the machinery be gins to revolve. The big wheel makes 300 revolutions a minute, and ilrawa a thread of glnsa front the melting luir continually. At first tho thread is thick, but it becomes moro nnd more fine until tlie finest silk is no more fragile or gossamer-like. As it becomes fine it loses its brittleness, anil becomes moro elastic nnd plirblo, anil gains in tensilo strength also. When a sufficiently largo coil of thread haa beeu iiuule it is taken from tbe wheel und bound up in skeins, and then the material is Liken to the weaving ma chine. This is exactly like n silk weaving machine and the cloth comes out in beau tiful texture nnd color. The finer thread* of gins* unite as do threads of silk, and the fubric when done may he of any color. Combination* of color can he used, nnd changeable goods are moro cosily manufac tured thnn is silk. A shite robe made for a Hindis) prince of this material was of gold, silver, clear anil irridcscent glass, and when it wus done it was like a mass of minute precious stones, more marvelously beautiful tnnn anything ever seen by me before."
