The Last Confederate Soldier
Returns From the War
H!S HOME IN GOOD OLD CEORCIA
L itll ms Wife ana Ten Children In a
p IVnffon Brawn by a Solitary Steer-A
ltojnl Keceptlon From the
Cttirena of Americas.
Mr. Miles Kennedy, the last of the Con-
ederates, lias at last reached hia old home
Sumter county, and was welcomed in
\mericus yesterday in a royal manner.
In the Tedkoraph of the 10th i stant
speared the announcement of his pres-
ence in Macon the day before. He' was
then on his way to Sumter county for the
first time since he shouldered his gun in
1861 and went to the war. He was wound-
near Richmond during the dying days
the Confed. racy and was laid up for
time after Lee’s sur
render at a farm house six
miles from Richmond,^and there tenderly
nursed until fully recovered by the daugh
ter of the man at whose house he was stay
ing The war being over, and being solely
without means, he married the girl and
went to farming.
On tho fourth day of last April he
hitched up his faithful and only steer to
his wagon and with his wife and ten chil
dren and $8 in money, all he posSl-ssed,
turned the steer’s head toward old Georgia.
His travel was necessarily slow and it was
often that Mr. Kennedy had
to stop on his way and
work for money with which to purchase
food for his Btecr and family. The chil
dren kept healthy all the way, only one of
them being at all sick, but the steer _ at
one time was taken down and for a time
there were gloomy prospects for the old
soldier and his brood. Finally the 6teer
got well, and on the 9th instant the entire
party reached Macon.
By means of the Telegraph the Ameri
cas people were advised of his coming,
and yesterday he arrived, having made the
distance fiom Macon to Americus, 71
miles, in six days.
Our Americus correspondent thus re
lates his reception:
Americus, August 15.—Miles Kennedy
reached Americus this morning. He was
met some distance out by a delegation of
citizens, headed by the Americus brass
band, and escorted to the court house
square, where the citizens had turned out
en masse to receive him. ft will be re
membered that Mr. Kennedy is the ‘‘re
turning Confederate soldier,” who passed
through Macon one week ago bound lor bis
old home in Sumter county, with his wife
and ten children, carrying his earthly pos
sessions in a wagon drawn bv a solitary ox.
As slated above he arrived this morning.
Professor Van Riper was on hanu and
photographed the family beside the ox and
wagon. Colonel A. S. Cults then formally
welcomed him home in tho presence of
1,000 people.
In the crowd was his sister, Mrs. M. M.
Hart. The meeting between them brought
tears to many eyes.
By slight effort about $100 in money and
provisions was soon raised for him and his
dependent family. In conversation with
your correspondent, Mr. Kennedy stated
that he felt grateful for tho kind and sub
stantial manner in which he had beer
received home; that the yearnings of his
heart for all these years have ever been
southward, and now that he has reached
home all he wants is a fair chance to work
for a living.
AN EBBING FATHER.
America, nnd though it is humiliating to
make the confession, it is true that the
sums of money he has received have been
spent in drinking.
When asked how long he had been a
priest, he answered twenty-eight years,
lie gives as a reason for not passing the
examination to which he was subjected by
Father Joseph, that his brain was in a
muddle, that ho had been aroused from a
stupor caused by drink, and was not him-
It may be possible that this is the man
who claimed to be a Benedictine priest in
Atlanta last spring, and who was pro
nounced to be bogus by the priests of that
city. He 6ays he was on the eve of leav
ing Macon last night, and this chance will
no doubt he given him to-day.
JAY UOULU’S MILLIONS.
A Bogus I", test ts Foar.il Crank and Locked
Up for the Nljfht.
A man claiming to be Father O’Brien,
a Catholic priest, was placed in the bar
racks last night.
It seems that Father O’Brien came to
Macon about a week ago and stopped at
Brown’s Hotel. He went about tne city
saying that he was just from Ireland,where
he was imprisoned in jail for a long time
for the use of intemperate language in the
expousal of the cause of. Parnelhsm. He
was released finally through the inllucnce
ol Mr. I’arnell. He asked for means and
received several sums of money from a
number of pebplc in Macon.
During the week word was received
from Atlanta that Father O’Brien had
been there with tho same story, and it was
believed that the total amount of money
received there was about $900. This in
formation caused a watch to be put on the
movements of the alleged priest, and he
was found under the influence of whisky
on s. v.-rnl .,c-c;iMons.
It then became a question whether he
was a priest. He was carried before Fath
er Joseph, who catechised bint as to the
forms, the masses, and even to his Latin.
He soon convinced Father Joseph, Father
Winklereid and others that he knew noth
ing whatever about Latin. He wore the
Roman collar and this was taken from
him.
' In the afternoon it was found that
Father O'Brien had gone to Fast Macon,
and there picked up some more change
from the Catholics. It was then thought
necessar > to arrest him, Hid M night lip
was found in a barroom asleep, and after
another test by the priests, he was ordered
arrested, though it is probable that noth
ing will be done about it except to make
hint leave town. Hia manner of procuring
funds may he described in the visit he
made to the home of Mr. Pat Pierce. He
called about 0 o’clock in the morning, and
aftpr hlnuint* tho anH t*>Uinir of
•Savannah, Washington, Ga., Atlanta and
other places, he relat-d how his valises
hail been lost and that his finances were
slim. Mr. Pierce gave him fifty cents, as
much as he could spare at the time, and
mvited him to breakfast, which invitation
he declined
The man seems to be fully fifty years
old, clean shaven, and his soft white hands
prove that he is certainly not used to work.
He has all the appearances of a priest,
and has a fine education. It is thought
that he is an old teacher who hit uj>on
this plan to raise money.
At the barracks last night he related to
the reporter how he was arrested ami
jailed in Ireland, and his release through
Mr. Parnell’s inllucnce. He says he was
•orced to come to America for fear of a
•coond arrest, and landed here five weeks
ago. He spent a week, he says, in At
lanta, where he conducted the services at St.
"''ph - Infirmary ami l-irim-d a frii-mUhip
between himself and Father McCarthy anu
others. He says that he was never ad-
dictfdfltn strong drink until he reached
Speculations ns to Hosr tlio Vast Property
Will bn Divided.
A gentleman who is intimately ac
quainted with Mr. Gould and frequently
visits the great magnate, said to a New
York correspondent of the Chicago Tri
bune the other day: “I have no doubt of
the truth of tlje report that he is to divide
his property, and I expect to see Mr.
Gould himself annonnee it in aday ortwo.
It is a fact that cannot be questioned that
Mr. Gould has made up his mind that his
days of usefulness in business are over,
and he is glad to throw up the sponge and
leave the field to other men. Since his ill
health Air. Gould frequently refers to the
sudden death of William If. Vanderbilt,
and in his conversation he betrays a fear
that his own life may be cut oft' quite as
suddenly. To his friends Mr. Gould has
often said that Mr. Vanderbilt’s plan of
dividing his property beforedeath met his
hearty approbation, and every rich man
should do the same.”
“Is Mr. Gould in imminent fear of
death?” asked the reporter,
“Oh, no,” answered the broker; “but he
is too much of a business man to take any
chances. He has the utmost confidence in
his son George, and knows that the young
man is quite capable of caring for the bulk
of the Gould fortune, which he will re
ceive. Hereafter the Gould family will
not figure as daring speculators or pro
jectors of new railroads and great schemes.
Their efforts will be devoted to holding the
immense fortune which is now theirs. I
understand that Mr. Gould will make a
formal announcement of his intentions in
a short time.”
Wall 6treet brokers are figuring up the
extent of Mr. Gould’s wealth. It was re
called that in July, 1882, when the air was
filled with rumors adverse to Mr. Gould's
financial tanding, he had called in o his
office three well known gent emen of this
city and had exhibited bonds, stocks and
other securities standing in his own name,
the face value of which was $25,000,000.
Mr. Gould’s fortune has enormously in
creased since >ix years ago, and the gen
eral opinion places bis resources at $100,-
000,000. Asnearlr as can he estimated,
the amount is dis ributed as follows:
Missouri Pacific Securities $ 20,000 COO
Western Union Telegraph Company 30,000,000
Manhattan Elevated Railroad Com
pany - ™ 2i.000.000
Union Baciflc Railroad Company 3 000 0 0
Iron Mountain Railroad Company... 6,000,000
Texas Pacific Railroad Company l.oOi.dO
Government bonds 10,000,000
Miscellaneous and cash 0,100,000
Total...™ 1100,00 J,000
It was conjectured among those who are
best acquainted with Mr. Gould that he
will retain $5,000,000 in cash for himself
in case of necessity, while George will get
the bulk of the fortune. Just how the
money will be distributed was figured out
as follows :
Mtss Helen Gould.....:..™.,.'..:. * lo.noo.orp
MrsJay tinlild .'i.(»_»>,0Wi
Edwin Ooul'd
Howard Gould
Mrs. George Gould
Miss Alice Gould
Jav Gould
Bahy Kingdom Gould
Relatives and public bequests
Total 8100 OCO.OOO
When thisdivision is made Miss Helen
Gould, who is a charming girl, will be, in
her own right, the wealthiest young un
married lady in the world. Jay Gould
does not repose the confidence in his sec
ond son, Eddie, that he honors George
with, but Eddie is a smart youth, who can
bo expected to double the amount his faith
gives him in a few years. Wall street is
anxiously waiting for Mr. Gould to make
public his intention, when the lucky
•bare-s in his bounty will be warmly con-
gratiilali-d.
Russell Sage was asked what he thought
of flit- report that Mr. Could was going to
divide bis property as outlined above.
“It ia all talk, answered Mr. Sage.
“Mr. GouldJ ia well able to take care of
his property, and does not intend to make
it over to George or anybody else.”
A TUBNIF FCJKK6T.
A Brief Agricultural Narrative by the
Troup County Ltar.
Rustler In LaGrange Graphic.
“Say there, you Rustler, I want to tell
you about my turnips. That piece you
put in The Graphic about my watermel
ons caused me to receive about 15,789,400,-
500,895,674,030,600 letters from parties
wanting to know if my place was forsale,"
was the ejaculation hurled at me by the
Troup county liar the other day as he and
I appeared beneath the shade in the court
house park
“That was nothing to compare witli my
grand, double jointed success with turnips.
I do not tell this so much to show the size
as I do to show how fast things grow on
my place. Now, my wife told me she
wanted a turnip patch, so I thought I
would fix one up for her. It was
the spriog variety I planted. Well I
planted them one Saturday afternoon.
On Monday morning when I got up
t was completely done up by the sight that
met my eyes. Those little fiat Dutch tur
nips had come up. I bad noticed them
Sunday, but paid no attention to them, for
I thought it was a weed coming up that
soon. As I said, on Monday morning those
turnips were up and you could not hare
looked over the top ol them with a step-
ladder, and they were still growing so fast
you could see them. In a few days you
could hardly see the tops. The stems were
as large as a man's body and the leaves
w,re about the size of a blanket. This re
markable state of affairs continued for sev
eral days, when an unusual thiog happen
ed. I noticed a disturbance of some kind
among the turnip trees, and in a short time
I discovered the cause and, as usual, my
good luck, if I ever had any, deserted
What was the trouble?" came from the
listeners. 1
“It was jmtthis: Those turnips h*d
grown down as fast as they had tip, and i
the taproots had gone through and a Mast-1
ed lot of Chinamen had got hold of the i
ends of them, thinking tbev were rat tail-, i
and pulled them through, leaving only a
hole in the ground. And now as I think
ot it, I believe I will invite the Repub
lican candidate for President to come
down and crawl into it after November,”
and with this he walked over to a store
and purchased a nickel’s worth of cigars,
leaving the crowd and myself to speculate
on the turn-ups and downs of a farmer’s
life.
THE'GRKATJEijT STEAM HO AT BACK.
More than a Million Dollars BaRl to Have
Been Staked Upon the Result.
From the St. Louts Globe-Democrat.
Th greatest steamboat race that was
ever run in the world was that which oc
curred in June, 1870, from New Orleans to
St. Louis, between the Robert E. Lee and
the Natchez, the latter was built at Cin
cinnati, was commanded by Captain T. P.
Leathers, and in June of the above year
made the fastest time on record from New
Orleans to St. Louis, 1,278 miles in 3 days
21 hours and 58 minutes.' The Robert £.
Lee was built at New Albany during the
war and was towed across the river to the
Kentucky side to have her name painted
on her wheel houses, a matter that was
d emed prudent in those exciting times.
She * as commanded by Capt. John W.
Cannon, who died at Frankfort, Ky., in
1882.
There was great rivalry between the
boats, and when the Natchez made her
great run Capt. Cannon determined to beat
it. He stripped the Lee for the race—re
moved all parts ot her upper works which
were calculated to catch the wind; removed
all rigging and outfit that could be dis
pensed wit a to lighten her; engaged the
Frank Pargoud to precede her a hundred
miles up the river to supply coal; ar
ranged with coal yards to have fuel flats
awaiting her in the middle of the stream
at given points, to be taken in tow under
way until the coal could be transferred to
tho deck of the Lee, and then to be cut
loose and float back. He refused all busi
ness of every kind and would receive no
passengers. The Natchez returned to New
Orleans and received a few hundred tons
of freight and a few passengers and was
advertised to leave for St. Louis on June
30.
In the afternoon the Robert E. Lee back
ed out from the .evee, and five minutes
later the Natchez followed her. The whole
country watched the race with breathless
interest, as it had been extensively stiver*
tised by the press, and the telegraph .at
tended its progress along the river at
every point. At all the principle cities—
Natchez, Vicksburg, Helena and Memphis
—people feotu many miles were present to
see the ractrs pass, and the time of passing
was cabled to Europe. When Cairo was
readied the raco was virtually ended, but
the Lee proceeded to SL Lou
is, arriving there in three
days eighteen hours and fourteen
minutes from the time she left New Or
leans. beating by thirty-three minutes the
previous record of tho Natchez. The lat
ter steamer had run into a log and ground
ed between Memphis and Cairo, which de
layed her more than six hours. It is said
that 20,000 people crowded the whsrf, (be
windows and tbc housetops to welcome the
Leo on her. arrival at St. Louis. Captain
Cannon was tendered a banquet by the
business men of the city, nnd was gener
ally lionized while he remained here
It was estimated that more than $1,000,-
000 changed hands on the result of the
great race. Many ot the bets were with
drawn, however, on the ground that the
Lee had been assisted the first huudred
miles of the trtp by the power of the
Frank Fargond added to her own, and
many steamboat men have ever since re
garded the Natchez as the fastest boat of
two, but think she wnsbutgeneraled in the
race by tho i.ee. There wan si. much ad
verse comment a terwnrd by the press that
there has been no attempt since to repeat
such a performance.

SNORING LAWYERS.
The Man Who Had a Cause.for-a.Divorco
Snort—Governor Lumpkin and the
PIne.v Woods Bull.
From the Athens Banner.
The lawyers while attending the differ
ent courts in tho Western circuits generally
meet after supper aud tell some remarkable
anecdotes, not only on themselves hut on
other members of tho bar.
While at Jefferson court, as a number of
them were sitting in front of the Howard
House at Jefferson, the subject arose about
who was the worst snorer in this part of
the county.
Col. George C. Thomas said that there
was a lawyer from Gainesville who could
sound tho seven notes to perfection; that
he would consider it good grounds for a
divorce, and if he were on the jury he
would give a divorce “a vinculo matri
monii.”
There were gereral good snoring talcs
told, but it was left to ex-Senatar Pope
Barrow to finish them up. He said that
Governor Lumpkin, formerly chief jus
tice of the Supreme Court, was in Louis
ville, in Jefferson county, attending court,
and that the landlord put him in a room
on the ground lloor of tho hotel, the win
dows and doors of which opened on the
street. Judge Lumpkin, when sound
asleep, could awaken the natives with his
loud breathing. About midnight when
everything wns quiet, tho Judge com
menced pulling, blowing and snorting in
his sleep.
Out in the street was a little piitey woods
bull, which was “monarch of all he sur
veyed.” He heard the snoring of Governor
Lumpkin, and he must have itnaginep
that it was one of his rivals from a neigh
boring plantation. The little hull threw
a few bushels of dirt over his hack, and
prepared Ur batlie. He beiiowed once or
twice to notify his adversary that lie was
on the ground, but it did not disturb the
Governor in the least. The snoring went
on without intermission. This exasperated
the little bull, and curling his tail over
his back, he made a break for the window
and went through it, carrying everything
before him on his horns. The sudden
rushof the bull into the room awakened the
Governor, end taking in the situation he
left, with the bull in full possession of the
room.
There were other good snoring tales told,
hut ex-Scnator Barrow took the cake.
Among the good ones told was one of
General Howell Cobb, hut it did not equal
that of Senator Barrow. General Cobb
would be in conversation wish a gentle-!
, and leaning his head back against
the wail would go fast to sleep, and could
be heard for some distance. But when a
question was asked he w uld answer it in
telligently, between the snores, showing
clearly tbit hi- great mind was at work
while be was asleep.
AS BY A MIRACLE.
A Crowded Passenger Train Buns Into a
Freight—Only Seven People Injured.
.Chicago, August 16.—A serious collision
occtirre 1 on the Illinois Central railroad at
South Lawn, fifty miles south of this city,
this morning. An Illinois Central passen
ger train, bound for Chicago, name in col
lision with a Grand Trunk freight train at a
crossing. It was at first reported that many
were killed ami injured. Physicians were
called (or from Chicago and a relief train
was sent to the scene of the disaster.
There was over 200 passengers on the Illi
nois Central train and their “scope was sim
ply miraculous. For ids arouud the scene
of the wreck, demolished freight and passen
ger ears are piled up on every side. Relief
corps were sent down by both the Illinois
Central and the Grand Trunk roads. A
dozen engines and wrecking crews were put
to work clearing up the wreck.
Seven people were injured more or less,
though none are fatally hurt. The victims
are as follows: Anderson Cobb, porter of
the Bleeper; Thomas S. Plane, baggage mas
ter; Mrs. Plane, his wife, John Crane, fire
man; W. B. Land, passenger; J. H. Sulli
van, porter; John Frazier, porter. The only
roan whose injuries the doctors fear will
prove fatal is John Crane, the fireman. He
tumped from his engine aud alighted on his
head, fracturing his skull. His scalp was
almost entirely torn ot. A chair car on the
Illinois Central was used as a hospital and
the tracks were cleared when the wounded
were brought to the city aud placed in a
hospital. The accident was caused by the
eugine on the passenger train becoming un
manageable from derangement of machinery,
and the engineer was unable to stop before
reaching the crossing, which was occupied
by a Grand Trunk freight train. The Grand
Trunk train had the right-of-way.

FOR OLD PEOPLE!
In old people the nervous system is weakened, and that must be strengthened.
One of the most prominent medical writers of the day, in speaking of the preva
lence of rheumatic troubles among the aged, says: “ The
various pains, rheumatic or other, which old people often
complain of, and which materially disturb their comfort, ,
result from disordered nerves.” There it is in a nut shell
—the medicine for old people must lie a nerve tonic.
Old i>cople are l>cset with constipation, flatu
lency, drowsiness, diarrhoea, indigestion, rheu
matism, neuralgia. These diseases are of
nervous origin. Paine’s Celery Compound,
that great nerve tonic, is almost a specific
in these disorders, and by by r«Wmuin?
influence on the liver, bowels, and
kidneys, removes the disorders peculiar
to old age. Old people find it stimulating
to the vital powers, productive of appetite, ,
and a promoter of digestion.
