drouth, which, except in the extreme southern
E rtion of the State, along the Florida and coast
ie. has been general. The dryness of the month,

Atlanta, October 8.—Tbe United State Circuit

buggy of United States Commissioner Bledsoe,
while he was engaged in the government

some time ago, but tbe officers have
not succeeded in arresting William and James.

About dark tbia evening tbe jury, who had been
out half >n hour, returned a verdict of guilty.
Judge Newman Immediately pronounced the aen-
tence, giving the prisoner tune months In Fulton
county jsil and imposing a fine of f500. The of
fense ia considered a grave one, and the law pro
vides a very savers penalty. The court stated that
he had made it aa light as the circumstances ad
mitted.
The prisoner will be better remembered by the
general public as tbe husband of Kate Southern
who waa some years ago convicted of the murder
pf another woman at a ball and sent to the peniten
tlary, end afterwards pardoned out. He ia a tall,
•Ugbtly built, dark man, and rather good looking.

About It Elsewhere.
Parties from along the line of the proposed route
of the extension of the Covington and Macon rail
road were in the city yesterday. They report that
bida are now in lor building aixty miles of the
road, tho right of way by either the Quitman or
Valdosta route has been secured, and $175,000have
been subscribed toward the line.
The Athens Bauuer Interviewed a large number
of the business men of Athens to see how
they stood in regard to the Macon road. With a
single exception, it found tho city solid for tho pro
jected road, and the general prediction was that it
would be a great thiDg for Athens. The merchants
do not fear any competition from Madinon or auy
other point. They will not only stand by Colonel
Machen In his trouble with Mr. Inman, but give the
new road, when it is built, all the aid and oncour-
agement in their power. The Macon and Athens
roed will meet with ao antagonism in Athens, but
the business men and city are overwhelmingly in
favor of the enterprise.

Dispatch says:
"We have been Informed by pretty good authori
ty that one of these roads will soon be under con
tract, and will certainly be built through to Florida.
Two or three routes have been surveyed through
Houston and Doely, and there can be but little
doubt that something ia going to happen. Some

en * Banner of yesterday has this concern
ing the bonds of tho Macon and Athens road:
Upon a failure of Atlanta to capture the Macon
and Covington road, by the route being changed to
Athens, Atlanta has systematically gone to work to
undermine and break down the enterprise by circu
lating false reports and aubjecting Colonel Mechen
aud the road to numerous petty annoyances. Rut
to spite of all these drawbacks tbe enterprise has
been steadily pushed onward, and to-day we find
all opposition beaten dosrn aud the Macon and
Athens road and Its p.ogressive projector have have
triumphed over all opposition.

Savannah, Ga., October!).—Charles Hum-
Bey, a whito stevedore, shot his daughter,
Jennie, at his bonse on the corner of Lin-
coin street and Bay-street lane, last night
The pistol shot took effect in her arm,
which, being raised suddenly, prevented it
from entering her breast, and probably
saved her from instant death. She is pain-
tally wounded, but she will doubtless re
cover. There is some mystery connected
with the affair, though Ramsey's friends
claim that the girl was mistaken for a bur-
glar.
A fire broke out at 1 o'clock this even
ing in the cargo of the British steamship
Lancaster, which was just finishing load-
ing 5,400 bales of cotton at the Central
cotton press. Tho hatches were closed, and
tbe fire department summoned. After
water had been pumped into the hold for
three hours, the fire was got under control.
The amount of damage to the cargo and
vessel has not yet been ascertained. The
origin of the fire, as usual in such cases,
is involved in mystery.
Before the fire engines were through work
on the Lancaster, an alarm was sonnded
from the Savannah, Florida and Western
depot, and two engines were sent to re-
spend. This was caused by tbs burning of
a two-story frame residence of Jno. O.
Smith, just outside of the city limits, on
the Thunderbolt road. No water could bo
procured aud the house was entirely de
stroyed.
The officer detailed by the Governor has
finished inspecting the Savannah military,
white and colored, of all arms, and it is
understood that favorable reports will bo
made in the cases of most of the companies.
The inspection of the Chatham Artillery
last night was splendidly passed.

It u generally thought the verdict ought
to have been a charge of murder.
He waa always very kind to his employes
and meant no act of violence wnen he at-
Ucked the negro. He wm provoked, and
did it more to frighten him than anything
else. Some think tbe negro planned the
affair beforehand and provoked Mr. Mo-
Elmurray to do what he did in order to kill
him,
A« eooii .a the act was committed and
the negro realized what he bad done, he
seemed to be very much effected. He took
Mr. McElmumy in his arms and carried
him to hit bed and bathed his head with
camphor, remmking to Mrs. Thompson,
who had arrived about that time: "Mrs.
Thompson, I wouldn't have done it for tbe
world." As yet, there baa been no arrest.
