Midville, June 4.—[Special.]—Your
correspondent has received intelligence
from Emanuel county that William Ste
vens, on Sunday afternoon, while at Mr.
J. Cross’s place, four miles south of here,
got into a dispute with a Mr. Birch, and
he caught Birch and threw him to the
ground. At this time Mr. Cross went to
Stevens and asked him to let Birch alone,
whereupon Stevens turned upon Cross.
They did not pass any blows, Cross telling
him to keep cool. This did not content
Stevens, and so he jerked loose from Cross
and ran some distance to where Mr. An
drew Fountain was standing and jerked a
loaded cane from his hand. Fountain
said to him, “Bill, don’t do so,” whereupon
Stevens struck Mr. Fountain on the head,
inflicting, it is thought by Dr. Johnson, a
fatal blow.
Mr. Fountain was a quiet, peace-loving
young man, and there is no cause assigned
for Stevens striking him. Stevens and
Birch were both intoxicated, while Cross
and Fountain were both cool. Stevens is
the same man who some time ago beat
Bowen, the cripple, at Wadley, Ga., and
broke his skull.
It is said Mr. Fountain has a brother in
Savannah, Ga. Stevens is better known
in this section as Wild Bill. He is yet at
large.

ANDREW COMMENCEMENT.
FORT VALI.KY.
Death and Ilurial of Mm. Willie Greene-
Found.
Fort Valley, June 4.—[Spfcial.]—
Mrs. Willie Greene Pound died this morn
ing at 2 o’clock at the residence of her fa
ther, Dr. W. J. Greene, in this place.
Mrs. Pound waa on a visit to her old
home when the messenger of death sum
moned her to her home beyond the sky.
About two years ago she was married to
Protessor J. M. Pound, and th.y have
lived for the last year in Edwardsville,
Ala. Mrs. Pound, both before and after
her marriage, was a universal favorite in
Fort Valley, and her circle of friends
reached out far beyond the limits of this
her native village. Thua it was that her
sad and sudden death was a most profound
shock to our entire community. Not ouly
are her many relatives here grief stricken
at the awful work of death, hut all our
people are deeply moved with the eincer-
eat sympathy lor the husband, the parents,
the brother and the sisters. Mrs. Pound
leaves one brother, Mr. A. B. Greene, and
three sisters, Mrs. Judson Hyatt, Mrs.
F. C. Houser and Miss Emmie 1 on
Greene, and these, together with the be
reaved husband and parents, are especially
the objecti of universal condolence.
The funeral was held this afternoon
in tin- Methodist Church. A large con
course of people were present, and touch
ing and appropriate services were held,
The church had been profusely decorated
by the hands of Mrs. Pound’s many
friends with white flowers sod overmens.
The church organ, at which Mrs. Pound
had for a long lime presided, was heavily
draped.
Notes of the funeral songs rose softly
upon the ear, the minds oi all went back
a few short months to occasions when the
sweet voice, now hashed forever, had sung
the same sad aongi over the dead, for Mrs.
Pound was always our sweetest singer.
After the services in the church were
over, almost the entire towa followed the
hearse to Osklswn cemetery, where all
that was mortal of this beloved lady was
deposited with the solemn rites of the
church. It be long before our town will
recover from the shock of this sad death.
CULLODKN** DAY.
The Great Gathering There nml Krmiiou of
Her Favorite Sons on Friday La»t.
Cullopem, June 4.—[Special.]—Esrlf
Friday morning the people from the sur
rounding country began gathering into the
shady grove around our beautiful little
city until the whole town was a mass of
moving humanity.
Our enterprising mayor, J. O. Holme?,
was on the alsrt and had a nice white flag
with blue letters, ‘‘welcome,” hoisted at
the place ot the prospective depot, which
is situated near the business part of the
town in a beautiful grovo of cedars and
magnolias. About 10 o’clock the great
miM of people from the town and county
bad gathered at the place of landing to
wines* the arrival of the first train, and
grand and joyous sight it was, too, to this
people.
There was on the train some of Cullo-
den’s noted sons and Georgia’s truest and
best men. Judge H. I’. Trippe and Col.
Duil Hammond had been here several days
with their old friends and comrades and
greeted at the train N. J. Hammond, G.
W. Adair, Col. Mynat',Col. Dunn. Many
other of Atlanta’s citizens. After
* cordial handshaking, the crowd, led by
Barneavilie cornet band, took up the line
of march for the grounds prepared for the

Colonel Hammond, introduced by Colonel
Barnes, of Forsyth. The address was
characteristic of the speaker and did great
credit to the town and people. Colonel
Adair’s reply to this was profuse with
compliments and good wishes for our fu-
The Sermon Surday—Some Fine Music—
Visitors in the City.
Cuthbebt, June 4.—Yesterday was ser
mon day in Andrews Female college, and
the program as carried out was a most
pleasing one. The choir used a selection
of favorite hymns and their rendition was
superb. “The Lord is my Shepherd,” was
first sang by the choir, which was under
the management of Mrs. 11. B. Matthews,
who also acted as organist and composed
of the following voices; Supranos, Mrs.
E. McDonald, Misses Hattie Fay and Wil
lie Kiddoo; altop, Mrs. J. P. Toombs,
Misses Florence Powell and May Beall,
tenor, Prof. Geo. Chase and H. A. Red
ding; bass, Capt. J. W. Sealy and W. A.
Roberts. After which prayer was offered,
when Miss Fay sang, “Only Waiting,” with
an alto chorus by Miss May Beall. The
Bible lesson, was 1st Peter and 2nd Chron-
cles, 1st chapter. “Lead me, Saviour,”
was then sang by the choir. When the
minister of the occasion, Rev. W. W.
Hayes, of Columbus, read the 14th chapter
of Paul’s letter to tho Romans and took as
the text the 17th and 18th verses of that
chapter, it was conceded by the many
friends of the speaker and IRosc present
to have been one of the most powerful and
pleasing etiorts oi this rising minister, it
was [tower ul in thought, powerful in dic
tion and presented in most able and pleas
ing manner. Prayer was thru fervently
offered by Rev. E. H. McGehee, of Sa
vannah. “Sing Ye Jehovah’B Praises” was
then sung by the choir. Finally the
doxolngy was 1 *«t sung and benediction
was pronounced and the large congregation
waa dismissed. It is conceded that the
music rendered by the choir was the
sweetest yet heard, and many are tiie com
mendations of the able sermon which was
iireached, specially to the young ladies by
Rev. Mr. liaye*.
Last night Rev. E. H. McGehee, of Sa
vannah, occupied the pnlpit at the Metho
dist Church. To-day is junior day, and to
night the sophomores will hold forth.

Death at Gordon.
Gordon, June 4.—Death has again in
vaded our community, this time casting
his dark mantle over tho family of Mr.
Frank Whitaker by laying his cold hami
upon Earnest, an only son, who was eight
and one-half years old on Sunday, the
day of his death.
The sympathy of the entire community
is extended to the bereaved family.
A HOTEL IIOKROU.
The Monition House, nt Rockilnle, Texas,
Horned—Eleven Lives Lost.
Rockdale, Texas, Jane 4.—This morning
at a few minutes before 4 o’clock, Mundine
Hotel, a three-story brick building, was
found to be on fire, and, according to those
who were first on the ground, it was
all on fire at once. Inside were
thirteen souls, only two of whom
escaped alive, Dr. W. A. Brooks, the pro
prietor. was pulled out of the burning build-
ng with his hair and beard singed off and
otherwise badly burned, leaving behind him
his wife and four children who perished.
Pemborton Pierce, regreseuting tho firm of
George H. Zeigler, of Philadelphia, jumped
from the burning building and was killed.
D. N. Oldham, of Dallas, wasbadlv burned.
It is a mystery how so many perished
when the building was so low. No one was
heard to call or scream, ail dying without a
cry for help, though a great
crowd quickly gathered and ex
hausted every effort to afford
a rescue. The remains of several have beeu
recovered from the rnins, hat they are un
recognizable. A great pall rests over Rock-
d tie and every business place is closed.
Pierce is the onlv victim not a resident of
Rockdale.

whose store occupied part of the building,
was completely burned out. Ills loss is

badly damaged, lie Is fully insured.
Two Extraordinary Sisters.
Paris Dispatch to London Dally Telegraph.
The trial of the two women Thierry and
Coche, whose adventures were described in
vour columns a short time ago, has com
menced. They styled themselves “Sister
Adalbert" and “Sister Therese,” and kept
a so-called orphanage, which they had
dubbed with the high-sounding title of
the “Convent of Our Lady of the Seven
Sorrows." In one sense the name
was not ill-chosen. It was a wretched
asylum for its unlucky inmates, who un
folded a doleful tale a* the trial went on.
The prisoners were prosecuted for wearing
a religions habit to which they had no
right, for swindling, for assault and for
other misdemeanors too numerous to m-n-
tion. A few qneer thinks transpired in
the course of the examination of the wit-
es. Some gay and festive dinnere
were given at this precious “convent,”
and a priest who was a frequent guest
had all kinds of tricks played on him by
the fair devotees. Napkins were stuffed
down his back, his nose was pulled, and mat
ters often assumed so lively a turn that
the profane were kept out of the way. An
old lady, Mile, de Saintandre, who had
been induced to enter the house, and had
foolishly presented the “convent” with all
the money she possessed, created a sensa
tion by describing the ill treatment to
which’she had been subjected. She said
that the funds collected by Thierry and
Coche, instead of being devoted to the chil
dren, were squandered on “parties.” More
than once she was thrown down and half
throttled. On one occasion she was deprived
of her wooden leg and severely handled,
but she contrived to drag herself to a
window and call for help. Several of the
children also deposed to the brutality with
which they had been treated. The most
curious part of the affair wasthe ignorance
of the rector of the parish and the doctor
who visited the sick as to tho true charac
ter os the house. During the trial the
prisoners constantly indulged in pious
ejaculations until the judge hinted that
this “little game" wouldn’t “pay.” The
further hearing of this remarkable case
has been postponed for a fortnight.

Saturday, the 2d instant. The length of its
track waa about twenty-five miics and five
hundred yards wide. The detraction and
devastation waa immense. Whole plants

were wiped out and buckets full of bail
stone, as large as guinea eggs could be sasily
gathered. The weather lias since been so
cold that hail is still seen on the ground and
people are sitting by fires. The woods nre
strewed with green leaves like the fall of
dry leaverin autumn.
The fine plantation of John Cnnnlnghai.,
situated about eight miles cut of here in
Peanon county,containingfifteeeu thousand
acres of fine bright tobacco land, recently
ilanted, waa terribly damaged. Ills lmild-

From the Washington Chronicle.
Three little boys with a laudable deeire
to increaM their worldly wealth have
formed a jowl stock eompany for the nur-
pose of Braking and selling ice cream,
f he life and success of the company seems
to be’ assured. On Saturday they each
contributed 50 cents towards the capital
stock. Backless of a surplus, they looked
only to dividends and invested the who!
amonnt in boiled custard and ice. When
they divided the proceeds of their labor it
was found that the original investmei
had yielded great profits. The total n
ceipL being $5.50 with an expense of only
fifteen cents. Tbeir method of division
was unique. Each boy took out his orig
inal capital, then they made three piles
and dollar by dollar, nickel by nickel each
boy was made equal. Nothing can lie
said against the fairness or originality of
this method of division. With increased
facilities the company hopes to enlarge its
business. Its incorporators and agents
can be seen daily on the streets pushing
Itheir business. We congratulate the
yonng gentlemen and hope that their plnck
and enwCTwUl meet with great reward.
