ACCOUNTS WITH TAX COM.XOTOUS.
An examination of table No. 17—au exhibit of the
various tax oollectora of the State— will show that
the taxes of the State have beeu promptly paid,
there being ouly sloven dollars and thirty cents tax
of 1884 still unpaid. It will ba observed that I have
found it necessary to iasua but a faw A. fa*., aud
when 1 have done so it h as been from a sense of
duty; knowing that the amounts in most cases rep
resented by those A. fee. were balances for which
proper vouchers bad not been sent to this office to
ba credited to the accounts of the tax collectors
The amount of insolvent general tax. as shown by
a large majority of these accounts, is exceedingly
email, taking Into eonalderation the amount of such
tax levied.
SCHOOL FUND,
We levy no tax upon property for the purpose of
raising an educational fund, yet It Is gratifying to
And this fund Increasing from year to year. There
was In the treasury, to tbs credit of such fund, June
SO, HW6, $333,576.84. This amount la derived from
tax on liquor dealers, one-half rental ot the Western
and Atlantic railroad, tax on shows, dividends from
■took of Georgia railroad owned by the State, net
hire of convicts, sod fees arising from inspection of
fertilizers.
Receipts from rental Western and At-
laatir railroad $150,000 00

Those surround!*-3 the house bearing Campbell
aay he was shot ran te his assistance. They found
him holding Jim McCoy, the alleged murderer of
Captain Kellett, close to the ground. McCoy was
soon handcuffed. They returned to the bouse and
arrested Kim McCoy.
. Deputy Campbell aays two men left the crib at
the same im( . When he grabbed McCoy the other
ran. It is believed he wav Jim Wiley, who is also
wanted as the accomplice of McCoy in tbe murder
of Kellett.
The party went oveT to Eliaa' house. There Mar
■hal Nelms and his party bad under arrest Elias
McCoy and auother brother, and Matt Chumner,
who had been wanted on a bench v arrant for illicit
work for three years. When the marshal's party
had surrounded Elias' house, the marshal entered
ed the house. There he found Cbutuuer in he«l.
McCoy was up. The marshal told Chumner to get
up and dress, which Chumner decliued to do un
til the marshal bsd sighted his ritb-'at hiiii.wb»n he
proceeded hastily to dress. Whilo he had both r
these under his rifle, the third brother arrived at * J<
front door. Deputy Murphy told him
he could not enter. McCoy whipped out his knife
and raised It at Murphy. Before he could plunge it
Mandial Nvli'is, who had him also in liue of his
rifle, commanded him to bald. Mr Coy stouce
cognized his enib*rra<-ir.g circumstances and
sheathed his kulfe. The four brothers aud Matt
Chumner were taken to Canton. There the Mar
shal disarmed the three brothers of Jim McCoy,
and with tbe latter aud Chumner the party camo to
Atlanta, where they arrived about 11 o'clock this
morning
CAPTAIN SKLLKTT'S MURDRtt.
It was on Bundsy, the Gth day of December, that
Captain Kellett. while in custody of a man named
Youug, waa killed. On the 16th of January, Mar
shall Nelms detailed Deputy Garrison to work up
the caae. Immediately after the murder, which
occurred in Walker county, McCoy aud Wiley
eaped to Alabama, where, according to McCoy, they
have lived ever since. When McCoy was on the
ears he asked Marshal Nelms how he found him so
quick. Held McCoy: "I had not been In Georgia
two hours when you caught me. I bad not even
seen my wife, and I have not seen her yet."
Nelina’a reply was: "1 knew the instant you
struck Georgia grit." Which la no little compli
ment to deputy Oarrison's shrewdness.
McCoy waa Indicted when a young man for mur
der In Barbour county. There are now several in
dictments xgainst him in Cherokee county,
being for rape.
I saw him to-day. Ue Is about thirty-four yearn
old, six feet tall, lithe and powerful. He is married,
and he hae five children. Since the shooting of
Kellett, his wife and children moved to Chtrokee,
and lived with ot near one ot the brothers. He la
fanner. 11a was arrested on a visit to his wife
aud children whom he has not yet seen.
T11X VXKLIMINART HKABINO.
He will have a hearing Thursday. The main wit
ness againat him will doubtless be Young. wIio.wsh
in Kellott's custody when tbo murder occurred.
The McCoy's are a largo family lu Bartow and
Cbvrokte. It will be difficult to get witnesses
agsinst Jim. Mr. Fite, a deputy collector of inter
nal revenue, who la from Bartow, told your corres
pondent to-day that Jim McCoy Is a brave man,
kind hearted, but unrelenting to enemies,
hoped McCoy would have a fair trial. McCoy bad
done a good deal of illicit work, but he and bis
family are wall liked in Cherokee and Bartow.
Jim McCoy Is the man who Bill Arp said In pub
lic print he hoped would escape, because In early
life Capt. Kellett bad shot him or his brother tu the
heel when he waa trying to escape frura arrest ou
warrant which Kellett had against him.

HAWTHORNE MAD AS TUCKER,
wo rroiulnent Itaptleta with a Harrier of
tee lletween Them*
Atlanta, February 33.—You may remember that
Dr. Hawthorne, a Baptist minister of thla town,
came into great prominence reccutly aa a platform
prohibition orator. Lately he baa made himself
prominent by re fusing to shake hands with Dr.
II. Tucker a brother minister of the Baptist Church.
Duriug the prohibition campaign. Dr. Tucker com
menced adrem-ly in tho Christian Index,
political clergymen and mountebank
evangelists. Tho "ludex" la tho Bap
organ of the Booth. The editorial
of Dr. Tucker and other circumstances Irritated the
Naxarenic, Hawthorne who visited Dr. Tucker lately
In regard to tho differences. As he entered the
apartment where Dr. Tucker was. Tucker arose
extended bis hand to Dr. Hawthorne. The hand
Dr. Tucker was not shaken, aud no explanation
followed.
This matter soon became known among Baptists,
and it was a general theme of diacuaslon.
Tucker is a roan who tolerates no sham. Home
weeks ago a prominent preacher seeing Dr. Tucker
In bta congregation singled him out and aaid:
Will brother Tucker please lead ua In prayer,
i will do nothing of the kind,” promptly replied
Dr. Tucker, who afteiw aids explained that he ex
pected to be eingled out in a largo congregation In
•uch a way. Dr. Tucker la now lying ill at his res
idence with pneumonia.
Yesterday In his eennon. Dr. Hawthorne, In re
ferring to the merit of avoiding slunera, raid. M 1

that he la a monumental liar himself."
The reference to a man in this city has created
much comment. The fact of tho row between Dr,
Hawthorne and a brother Baptist minister has add
ed Interest to bla definite reference yesterday.

IN FAVOR OF HIGH LICENSE.
Strong Words From Chief Justice Dsvls and
Dr. Howard Crosby.
New York Tribune.
Chickering Hall was about half, filled last
evening at a mass-meeting in the interest of
the high license bill proposed by the Church
Temperance Society aud the Society for the
Prevention of Crimp. It provides for a li-
censo fee of $1,000 for the sale of intoxicat
ing liqnors in every city of 30,000 popula
tion; for smaller cities a graduating scale
is presented. Chief .Justice Noah Davis
presided, and introduced his remarks ns
chairman with a testimonial to John B.
Gough, who, he said, stood with him only
a few weeks before in Chickering Hull to
welcou-o Archdeacon Farrar.
-•There aro two propositions before ns,”
he continued in substance. “One ia for
absolute prohibition and tho other is for
partial prohibition. I believe that when
ever absolute prohibition can be enforced
nnd substituted that is wbat is needed and
no other remedy can equal it. [Applause. ]
But we Hve in n city with a million and a
half of inhabitants, who speak in forty or
fitly different districts. If by any reasona
ble effort we could secure in this city tbe
absolute prohibition of tbo^salo of intoxi
cating drinks, I wonld use all my efforts to
secure it. [Applause.] The Legislature
will by no means give us such a law.
Neither political party has virtue
enough to recommend it. What hope is there,
then, for a law of that character? None,
As reasonable beings, when wo ure seeking
to prevent a tremenduons evil sha’l we re
fuse to do anything to alleviate that evil?
Some say, give ns prohibition or give ns
‘free rum.’ -Free rum' means in New York
E andemoninm. Assuming that wo had pro-
ibition I do not believe that it conld be en
forced in this city because of tho inadequacy
of tho courts, the incapacity of officials. No
juries wonld convict if indictments were
found because public sentiment to-day is
not strong enough to stand behind and en
force prohibition. We never will have that
public sentiment nntil tho women have the
right of suffrage. The power of the liquor
interest in this city sends a majority every
year to the board of aldermen who deal in
Broadway railroads and other buainess.”
Ex-Governor Chamberlain wns next intro-
dneed by Justice l)nvis. He presented a
resolution approving the bill and spoke in
its snpport. The resolution was unani
mously adopted. A resolution authorizing
tho chairman to appoint a committee of 2U
to nrgo the consideration of the bill on the
excise committee at Albany was presented
by General Wager Swnyne. Dr. Crosby
seconded this resolution, saying in part:
“We have to regard in making any law tho
honest opinion of three classes of
citizens, just as good citizens as we
are, no matter what may be oar prejudices.
The first class are those who go to a hotel
and who expect to take a gloss of wiDe
there os they do at home. The second are
business men who drink a glass of wine at
tlie restanrant with their lunches as they
do at home. The third class are the poorer
men who take their beer in the middle of
the day as wo take our coffee at breakfast.
To these belong our German citizens who
are some of the best and moat honest of
people. We mnst, as lawmakers, have the
aid of all good citizens who will join ns
as these will in potting down the grog
shops. [Applause. ]

tho death of Odium, who jumped to death
■ -ooklyn bridge last May, has
been revived by the suicide of Mrs. Murie
Branchu, on Saturday, from High bridge.
Cnptain Coniin, of tho city hull, and Cap
tain McCuHagh, ot the Sixth l'recinct, who
both aerved many years in the vicinity of
llligh bridge, say that in the past twen
ty years numerous attempts at
self-destruction have been mado by
jumping from tho bridge, but until now uo
fatal case was reported. A wealthy Merris-
ania lady, siill living, jumped from the
bridge fifteen years ago during a tit of tem
porary insanity. At long intervals sIdco
then other reckless persons have courted
death there, and the impression l aving be
come general that High Bridge was nut fa
vorable for snicule, recent attempts in that
line have been abandoned. Captain Couliu
said recently; “Persons who seek death by
an act of apparent dariug generally like to
have witnesses present, snd for this reason
High Bridge will never become a popular
stamping-ground for suicides whobuvo lofty
ideas, especially duriug tbe winter season,
when it is pract cally deserted."
“Tho point troui which Mrs. Iimnchn
descended,” said a professional acrobat,
“was 190 feet aliovc the river s surface, hut
her death does not prove by uny means
that a jump from High bridge into the river
will prove fntal under ordinary circum
stances. It must he rememliered that the
woman did not throw herself into the v ater,
but on the top of aiheet of ice three inches
thick, which is a very different thing. 1
hold that a man or woman in ordinary con
dition can make the jump without imperil
ing either life or brndth.”
Robert Donaldson, who worts at Lb
trade as haruessmaker in Warren street,
this city, made two successful jam us froml
High Bridge in Angnst, 1880. He is credit
ed also with making a jump of M0 fe<.t
from the royal yard of the frigate Charity,
in tbo Mersey. Sam Patch, who was killed
by a 125 feet jump over tho Genesee Falls,
was drunk, and to this fact his death is at
tributed. Before Robert Emmett Odluc!
leaped from the Brooklyn Bridge he inode
six very high jumps, each over 100
feet. Soon after his death an acrobct
named Frank Lieingston lumped from High
Bridge and escaped uninjured. A siiiguF
•lory, which comes from the Rocky Moun
tains, tells of a miner ivbo, when stung by
an adder, jumped iu his agony from a bluff
185 feet high into the canon, through which
a deep stream flowed, and escaped unhurt. I

At Emory, the young men in the dn

-‘Is it your experience thnttheji
men—say of Georgia—are desirous ol t
nicbal education ?”
“It is. I have been somewhat snrpt
to discover tjint there is a wideawakoii

(leuts in the advanced classes at Emorjl
press regret because the departaeu

entered college. One tiling that pir!

properly endowed, would he of pried

young men.”
“You are, then, in favor of a States

“Yea, 1 am. I can see no rpiua t,
there should be nny unpleasant rmlql]
