A WALKING ARSENAL.
A Young Man With Two Names and a Lot
of Weapons.
Officers Porter and Johnson yesterday
arrested a young white man who gave his
name as Charlie Hartford, on the charge
of disorderly conduct. A few days ago he
was seen riding through the streets in a
hack with a negro woman, and was armed
with various weajrcns. ft was understood
that he de6ed the police and gave it out
that he was a bad man. The officers found
him at a house on the bank of the river,
near the city bridge, and his list of weap
ons was as follows: One large pistol,one
small pistol, one siungsbor, one leather
bil y or club, one spring-back dirJc and one
sword-cane.
He was taken to the barracks and locked
up. It was found, on examination of his
luggage, which was at the Commercial
hotel, that his linen was marked Elber B.
Ward. When questioned as to the two
names, he said Ward was his right name,
hut, having had so much trouble with it,
he dropped it two months ago and took up
the name of Hartford. He is a young man
of good address; says he never worked in
his life. He has traveled extensively on
both continents, and says he bought the
weapons as curiosities—the dirk in Lon
don and the sword-cane in Paris. He
claims Detroit, Mich., as his home, and
says he passed through Macon some five
months ago on his way
north from Florida. He took a fancy to
Macon and returned here about a month
ago. He first stopped at a boarding house
on Fourth street and afterwards went to
the Commercial Hotel. He claims to have
about $100 in bank here and, also, money
in his trunk. He sports a fine gold watch,
which, he says, he can pawn for several
dollars.
He says he read of a good deal of fighting
In the south, and lor that reason carries a
revolver with him always. His associates,
since his stay in Macon have been none of
the best, and ail in ail lie is a curiosity.

Tlie Fate of a Negro Who Assaulted a
Laity Diving Near Cochran.
The news comes from Cochran that
about one week ago Mr. C. O. Newman, a
young farmer who lives about three miles
from town, hind a strange negro, named
Bill Johnson, to pick cotton. Friday Mr.
Newman came to town, leaving his wife
and infant at home alone. After he left,
Bill Johnson went to his house and bru
tally assaulted Mrs. Newman, and imme
diately fled. Wurd was sent to Mr. New
man and a party was organized and it
scoured the country in search of tlie
wretch, but failed to get on Ids track.
Late Saturday night tlie town marshal,
Mr. Ilamp Overby, got wind of him and be
and Mr. Peter Solomon took the night
train and got ofl below Macon and walked
back in the direction of Cochran. Just
beyond West Lake they captured Johnson
and carried on to town, arriv
ing there about 3 o’clock yes
terday evening. He was at once
placed in the guard house by the marshall
soon after which a great crowd, numbering
three or four hundredquiet but determined
citizens, assembled in the street near the
guaid house. . Notwitniianding tho fact
that the uegio had confessed his guilt to
the marshal, and Jlr. Newmao, who ar
rived soon Rt'ur, nan identified him, the
1888. centage I a *** , “M6U crowd quietly resolved that
Uu,6*6.327 2 nothing should be done until he was posi
tively identified by Mrs. Newman, who
had been sent aftsr.
When she arrived she promptly identi
fied him, when the crowd immediately
took him out and carried him a mile from
town, where they hanged him to a limb of
a tree, and riddled him with bullets.
A slip was pinned on his back which
read: ‘‘Our women must aud shall be
protected." _

KKATK 80UHEKS.
Our state, with its returning prosperity
and phenomenal develop nent, should do
yet more than site has already so gener
ously done for htr brave, noble but unfor
tunate maimed and aged soldiers, who
have suffered in poverty and silence for
twenty-tbree years from tlie effects of the
hardships of four years’ war in her de
fence. The small pittance allowed them
has been a great help to them but should
he increased so as to give them at least
$100 annually. In a few years they will
have all passed away, and what is to tie
done should be done at once. A few dol
lars sow to relieve their pressing wants
will be worth more than thousands of dol-
lan in monuments erected to their mem
ory after they are dead. In order to Hbow
how rapidly these men are dying and how
easy it will be for the state to assist them
now, I beg to submit the following state
ment of the am .unis drawn by them since
the passage of the first act in 1878:
amount paid oat by tbe state, 1*59 169,870
Amount paid out by tbe state, 1883 61.6)5
Amount paid out by tbe *tate f 1886 57,7tA)
The compiler makes several suggestions
for legislation which will, no doubt, re
ceive prompt attention at the hands of tbe
E neral assembly, tie adds that lax Col
non have been unusually prompt, all
having settled up.
A SHOOTING AFFAlIl
To Witch a Drunken Negro Shoots the
Wron Man.
Last night, shortly after eight o’clock, a
message reached the city hail that a man
had been shot near the Vineville branch,
Chief Wiley happened to be at the hall at
the time, and taking Officer Hutchings,
wont out to the scene. .
The chief learned that in the early part
of the night two negroes, Ed Thweatt and
Kate Itay, were at the Vineville branch,
amrtn a difficulty that followed a dispute
about drinks, Kay got in some effectiie
work with a knife, cutting Thweatt on the
shoulder. When Thweatt, who was
armed at the time, threw up his hand to
prevent a blow aimed at his breast, he re
ceived a severe cutgon the hand.
Thwcat then left, and, going to his
home, secured his gun. He failed to find
Kabe where he left him and in passing
Arthur Thweat’s store on Jefferson street
he saw a man some distance away coming
toward him. lie concluded that the man
was Kay and approached him for the pui-
pose of winding up the difficulty. The
man said: “You don't know who you are
talking to; you must take me for Kay."
Thweat replied: “Oh, well, you’ll do,”
and fired, the load taking effect in the
man's left leg.
This man proved to be J. K. Taylor, a
negro car|ienter, living on Pleasant Hill.
When be found himself wounded he
walked to Dr. Hall’s residence, corner
Washington avenue and College street, and
had a message sent to the city ball.
Thweat followed Taylor to Dr. Hall’s and
then returned and went across the branch,
Taylor says he will swear out a warraul
for him this morning.

Who Awoke Yesterday Morning to Flail
HU Good Horse Absent
Yesterday morning when Mr. Tim Don
ahue, the popular Poplar street grocer,
went out into the lot in rear of his store to
hitch up his horse, he found to his horror
that his horse was gone The loss of the
animal was nothing to lie compared with
the myBtery of bis disappearance. He
could Lot have jumped the fence, liecaure
thefience was loo high; he could not have
gone out at the gate boo me the gate was
locked on the inside and pcriecily sate; and
there was only one way by » fcicli tie could
have gone and that was by being swallowed
up by tn opening in <f.e ground. Tl
ground bore r.o marks of an upheaval or of
having been tam|ier<-d with and Mr. Don
ahue went into bis store wondering whether
the horse had taken wings and had flown
away, or if 1’iof. Fred Wilhelm had been
around and played some trick on him.
Later in the day he heaid a noise in the
cellar, and going'duwn into it, he found
tbe horse, the l.one bad squetxed him
self through a narrow passageway and
door, and the door having closed after him,
lie wav made a prisoner. He was gotten
Prom tbe Valdosta Times.
Dr. J. B. Manson is dead.
He breathed his last on yesterday morn
ing at 2 o’clock.
Thirty-six hours before he was furiously
assaulted by Henry Vickers and pounded
unto death.
Henry Vickers is a citizen of tho north
western portion of our county, living about
twelve miles from Valdosta. His little son,
about 8 or 10 years old, is quite Ui with
typhoid lever, aud has been for three
weeks, and Dr. Manson has been treating
him. Mr. Vickers has been attacked sev
eral times .with spells of insanity, at which
times he assaulted his wile aud beat her
badly, and disturbed tl neighborhood
generally. lie has the habit a!-o of mix
ing at times too much liquor with his in
sanity. On Tuesday last lie came to Val
dosta in apparent sound mind and bought
a lot of whisky. On Wednesday Dr. Man-
■on went to visit the sick chi.d. He said
he found X’hkers drunk.
A STRUGGLE WITH THE MADMAN.
When lie wav alwut to leave the house
to return home Vickers met him at the
dining room door with a laige carving
knife drawn. Vickers begin to curse ami
abuse tlie doctor, saying that his hoy w;i-
not sick, aud that the doctor was an impos
ter end was visiting his house forimpropei
motives. 1 r. Manson remonstrated as
kindly as he could, hut the mrdutan flew
at him and they grappled. The doctor was
a small man, advanced in wars and not
very strong, but he wrested tfie knife aw«y
from Vickers, and could have killed him
with it, ut he threw it away, expecting
hat Mr. Hugh Lawson and another man
n the house would come to his rescue.
The doctor temporarily escajied and d .dg* d
around the house, endeavoring to get to his
buggy, but Vii kcis drefr a pocket knife
and rau through the house, stabbing at
Hugh Lnwsou as he went, inflicting a
light wound in his neck, and overtook Dr.
Mauson at the gate.
A SECOND TIME DISARMED.
They grappled again, and the doctor
again took Vickers’s knife away from him,
auu siiil refused to injure the p' nson of
the man thus assaul ing him, thinking
that assistance wou'd come, and. that he
could escape Vickers’s fury without doing
harm tv him; but the others about -hi
house, every soul except tho prostpfeto
child, fled precipitately. After the d(islor
relieved him ot hi«second knife Vbk.r-
licked up a club aud with one crushing
jIow broke both bones in tho doctor’s I ft
atm above the wrist. The uext blow broke
three fingers on the right linnd. Thus dis
abled and deserted by those who might
have saved his life, the doctor fled down
the road, but Vickeis pursued him, and,
overtaking him, ponn- ed him awhile and
then dragged him back to the house and
washed his wounds and laid him down on
a couch. In turns the man would relax
and talk with the prostrate doctor, and
them he would pound on him with a club.
He endeavored to make him acknowledge
that he was no doctor, that his child was
not sick, and that he was there seeking
improper relations with his wife. Atone
time Vickers went out of the house and
returned with the battling slick and with
that began anew to beat the doctor over
the head and pereon.
THE MADMAN GOKH FOR A DOCTOR.
At last, it muBt have been three honrs
while all this wav going on, Dr. Maus*n
told Vickers that he wanted a doctor called
on him, aid Vickers said he would go and
gut one, and ho weat out and saddled up
liie mule and rode away. Whila he was
gone three or four of tho neighbors, hear
ing of the trouble through those who had
dial from the place when the difficulty
began, came in and found him as described
above. Mr. Luke Webb brought him to
town arriving here after night.
Drs Tally and Lang found Dr. Man-
ion's body covered with wounds and
bruises. Not only was his left srm broken,
ami several fingers on hlv right hand dis
located and broken, but he had received a
knife wound in tho side, several ugly
gashea on the head, an elliow almost dis
located, aud his person black and bias
from head to foot.
As stated above, Dr. Manaen died from
the effects of this foul treatment at 2
o’clock yesterday morning.
Our community and the county at large
hi greatly excited over the matter. Maay
are sure that Vick rs was insane ami not
responsible under the law,but uthers think
otherwise, aud some say he eught to be
taken out of jail, where he is now lodged,
and hanged to the first tree. *
A MARTYR.
It was a sad and terrible tragedy. Dr.
Man-on was a high-toned Christian gentle
man, a quiet, peaceable man, and as far
from seeking a difficulty as a woman. His
visit to Vickers’s house wav purely and
simply professional, of course, and tlie
grounds assigned for the assault were fan
cied or deliberately manufactured oy
Vickers.
We jearn that a jury has been summoned
and Vickers will be tried for lunacy on
Monday next

THOSE GOLD SPECTACLES.
The Quarantine Officer Gets After Editor
Stanton Again.
F. L. SUuton In Rome Tribune.
It seems to me that the man who runs
the quarantine business six miles from Ma
con has a special spite at me. Every time
I pass there, counting the cross ties on my
way to Borne, he halts me at the city’s
gates and demands my health ' certificate.
Together with three dollars and one wife,
I started towards Rome on Monday last.
When we got within sight of Macon, tin
same health officer who assaulted me a
fortnight ago, hopped out of the bushrs
and laid hold on me, demanding the usual
certificate of health and good character.
I told him I had some character along
with me, but that it was in my valine,
and my wife had the key. Of course,
this didn’t satisfy him, and he told me I
would have to tell him all about myself,
and just where 1 come from, aud how
much yellow fever I had absorbed since
my last visit. I told him that l had taken
any that I knew of, as I never took any
thing out of my reach. He then asked me
if I bad ever lived in Florida? I told him
no; that I never had money enough to
reach there, and the conductor always put
me off at one of the way stations between
Waycross and Jacksonville. lie then
asked me if 1 didn’t have an unde that
lived there? I said yes, hut that he need,
not be worried about him, as I had bien
waiting patiently for him to die for the
last ten years, (being mentioned in his
will) end was satisfied that it wonid take
something more than the yellow fever to do
the business.
As he seemed to be in the family busi
ness, I told him that when I left my laat
mother-in-law- but at that last word he
started and grew pale.
“Stranger," he said, grasping my hand
warmly, "stranger, pass on ! I see who
vDi.’rc runni g from. I don’t want to
make too much of a martyr of a man; I’ve
a hear full of sympathy, if I am iu tbe
quarantine bus ness. I am boarding with
iuy .mother-in-law myself. Pass on, pass
on!”
I shook hands with him, and he wept on
tuy Bhoutder, having nothing else handy
to weep on; then, borrowing his gold spec
tacles, in order that I might see my way
clear, I entered the gatea of Macon.

SAVE THE CHILDREN.
A child’s food is largely cakes and bread, and these
articles, when light, sweet, and composed of materials free
from deleterious substances, are easily digested, nutritions,
and wholesome. When these articles are made from pure
and wholesome baking powder, they are much more health
ful and nutritious than when prepared from yeast, or other
leavening agent. But a danger arises from the fact that so
many of the baking powders of the market are so impure
as to render the food unwholesome. In fact, chemical
analysis has developed the fact that all the baking powders
now upon the market, with the single exception of the
Royal Baking Powder, contain either lime, alum, phos
phates, or acids of an injurious character. When bread
or cake is made with the use of impure baking powders
these injurious substances pass into the system, and are
the source of much of the disease with which our children
are afflicted.
Persons who have not strong constitutions, growing
girls, young children, and many ladies, are particularly
liable to the evil effects produced by the adulterants found
in these cheap baking powders. Heartburn and the preva
lent forms of indigestion are often traceable solely to their
action upon the alimentary organs.
The absolute purity and wholesomeness of the Royal
Baking Powder are unquestioned. Tlie official reports of
the U. S. Government Chemists have put this fact beyond
all controversy. Prof. Mott reported that the Royal wag
undoubtedly the purest and most reliable baking powder
made. Prof. Love’s report showed it to be of the highest
strength, while Prof. McMurtrie, late Chelnist-in-Chief of
the U. S. Agricultural Department, at Washington, D. C.,»
found the Royal the only baking powder free from both
lime and alum, and absolutely pure.
