Prosperity Abound.” SYCAMORE, IRWIN COUNTY, GA., JULY 20, 1894. CURRENT EVENTS Epitomized in Paragraphs, Giving the Cream of the General News. The newsboys of Chicago have de¬ clared a boycott against six of that city’s journals. Of 25 switchmen who went out on tho striko at DaytoD, Ohio, 18 have asked to be reinstated. At St. Louis, Kansas & Denver, it is reported that railroad trade has about resumed normal conditions. At Indianapolis, Ind., all trains are running, and tho railroad authorities say they are loss than 100 men short. At Cincinnati all passenger trains are moving regularly and the freight service is approaching normal condi¬ tions. The George G, Meade, post, G. A. R. No. 444, of Englewood, Ill., has tendered its services to tho goveru- j Inent. From Sunday np to Friday, la3t I iveek, eighty cases of cholera were I reported at St. Petersburg, Russia, twenty of which were fatal. At Memphis the tie-up on the Kan - sas City, Ft. Scott & Memphis and the If. C., M. & B. is broken and passenger trains, with Pullmans, have been sent out east and west. A coach load of firemen, engineers, switchmen, conductors, etc., passed Lhrough Chattanooga enroute for Birmingham, Meridian and other (ilaces to take the place of strikers. Engineer Milton Freeman and Fire¬ man Mvron Manker, both prominent members of their respective Brother- poods, in interviews with The Times tomorrow openly endorse the attitude of President Cleveland. A steamer from St. Louis, Mo., brought down, among other things, 480 barrels of flour and 507,000 pounds of meat, to Memphis. great Mississippi is proving itself a friend indeed to the poor. Mr. J. G. Mays, late superintendent Of the , Southern „ _ Express Company, , having headquarters m Atlanta, Ga., fell from a hotel window at Tybee, Ga., last Saturday, sustaining injuries which resulted in his doath. Meat that sold in Chicago a week ago ft 6 1-2 was seilingou Monday at 12 1-2. 6 ieats was would estimated be exhausted the supply in 24 of hours, fresh fnd that there was barely enough frozen meat m the city to last a week. Grand Master Workman Sovereign, of the Knights of Labor has issued his manifesto calling out the Knights every where. Later dispatches from all important points indicate that tho Knights are ignoring the grand mas- ter’s manifesto. The efl'ect of President Cleveland’s proclamation is noticeable, It lias restored confidence among business men, and lias pleased all classes of people. Many railroad men are tlmsiastic in their approval of the President’s course. The president and secretary of war have received numerous telegrams and letters from all parts of the coun¬ try, tendering the support of large bodies of men in the event of an emergency requiring the organization of volunteer forces. At Nashville passenger trains run on schedule time. Tho Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis is sending out freight trains, and the L. & N. is preparing to resume its freight trafic. The firemen on the Cincinnati division have decided not to strike. The members of the local branch of the American Railway Union, at Akron, Ohio, i:i response to a tele¬ gram from president Debs asking them to consider the question of strik¬ ing, held a meeting, at which 200 members were present, and decided against a strike. Ail fear of a strike at Chattanooga has gone. The only trouble hero now is the strike of firemen on the Ala- bama Great Southern and that is not ! at all intefering with the running of j passenger trains. All the men on all of tho other roads are at their posts and trains both freight and passenger, are running regularly. drawn The Federal from troops Hammond, have been Ind., with- and j , i railroad property there is under the protection of the Indiana militia, 750 ! strong. There are 2000 working men | on strike here, other than railroad | men, iu sympathy with the Pullman strike. Trains are running on ail the roads centering here. At a conference between the mana- gers of local roads and the city an- thorities at Cleveland, Ohio, the railroad officials stated that they lmd all tho men necessary to run their : trains if they were guaranteed pro- , tection against strikers. Assurances of protection were given and tho; managers announced that they would start trains at 6 o’clock next morning, i Mr. Robert Huff, a youth of 18, and Miss Nelly Spivey, a lass of 11 were secretly married in Atlanta on last Sunday night, while the fom|| parents of the child bride supposed them to be at chureh. Rev. A. F, Lrc, pei loimed tlia reremouy at I 11 residence on Bush street. It wai William F. Samford. The into William Flcwellyn Sam¬ ford, L. L. I)., who died at his home at Auburn, Ala , on the 4th of July, was born in Wilkinson County, Ga., in 1817. lie graduated at Randolph Macon college, Virginia, at the age of 20 years, and before he was 21 deliv¬ ered the commencement address at Emory college. So impressed were the trustees, by bis address, that they held a meeting and elected him to the chair of hollos lettres, which ho de¬ clined, In the celabruted Bulk and Clay campaign iu 1815, Dr, Samford, not yet 27 years old, was the Polk elector lor the LeGrange (now the 4th) congressional district, of Georgia, and, although the wliigs called tho young giant, Bob Toombs and the brainy Alex Stephens to their aid, he led the democrats to victory. In recog¬ nition cf his services Mr. Polk ten¬ dered him the mission to Rome, which he declined. Throughout life he never held or sought any office at the bauds of tlie government or the people. During the reconstruction period he wrote the celebrated “Warwick Let¬ ters” to the New York Day Book, which are models of powerful diction, replete with political sagacity and wisdom. Dr. Samford was married in 1838 to Miss Susan Lewis Dowdell, of Harris Comity, Ga., who, with nine children survive him. He is gone, but his works follow him. The im¬ press of hie mind and heart live after him and will bear fruit in the years to come. LATEST TELEGRAPHIC TICKS. At Blacklin .an Arkansas village, last Wednesday, Preston ltuckes, a prosperous farmer, shot and killed Dr. J. T. Bridges, on account of alleged intimacy of the latter with the former’s wife, C. Hanford, second vice-president of the National Linseed Oil trust, committed suicide at the hotel Metropele, in Chicago. Cause, des¬ pondence and worry over financial matters, He was popularly supposed to be a millionaire. M. L. Moling, of Durant. Miss., having been under the influence of liquor several weeks, attempted to assault his wife, when her brother, Lake Doak, interfered. A difficulty between the two men resulted and Doak was compelled in self defense to shoot Moring. A coroner’s jury found to this ellect. Constantinople and the regions round about have been visited by de¬ structive earthquakes. At Stamboul, many houses were overthrown. The Grand Bazaar fell, burying many peo¬ ple under its ruins. More than 160 lives have been lost. A tobacco facto¬ ry and other houses at Djouvali were damaged and several persons killed. At Prinkipo a church and many ele- trant buildings and villas were de¬ ployed.—At Constantinople four houses fell and live people perished.— At Galatea, ten were killed.—At Ste- fano a catholic chureh and monastery lell and It persons perished in the ruins.—It is reported that the village of Adabazar has been entirely de- stroyed. Th» telegraph wires being all down, the facts can’t be ascertained. —In many other villages and islands the loss of life and property has been terrible, On tho islands of llalki and Antigoni nearly all the houses wero wrecked. INCENDIARISM Dooms 10 Deal ruction Another Largo Group of World's Fair Buildings Fire broke out at 6:30 Friday after¬ noon on tlie roof of the Terminal station at the World’s fair grounds, The six largo structures which formed the boundaries of the court of honor perished. The buildings de¬ stroyed were the Terminal station, administration, manufacturers’, elec¬ tricity and mining buildings, machin¬ ery hall and ihe agricultural building. Tho art gallery, which has been re¬ christened the Field Columbian museum, and the government build¬ ing were saved, together with tho minor buildings south of machinery bail and ihe agricultural buildings. The lire started almost simultano- onsly at three pomis, so selected as to afford the best possible spread of tho flames in each place, ou the second floor of the Terminal elation, the e' uthwest corner of the Mechanical arts building and on the southeast corner of the Manufacturers’ build¬ ing. A mail was seen running away from the grounds. One during man was killed and one injured the oroirross of the fire. Smugglers Captured. For sonic timo Cuban smugglers have been doing a lively business on the east coast of Florida. There was a regular fleet of smacks engaged iu tho business, and not only tiie revenue laws, but also the, quarantine regula¬ tions, were broken, The revenue cutter McLano. found six smacks ati- cliored at Auciete, engaged iu illegal traffic. The Mccaue took the entire number in charge and prooeedod with them 10 Mallet Key, where they were turned over to the authorities. Cigars and brandy are the principal articles handled by the smuggler*. intended by the bride to enjoy the dCi licious secret for three months, but it leaked out through an anoiiyiiiou.t co in m uni cation to a city paper, Eugene V. Debs, president of the American Hallway union; George W. Howard, viee president; Sylvester Keliher, secretary; William Rogers and J. 8. Morwiu were all indicted Monday afternoon by the grand jury at Chicago, for conspiracy to interfere with (lie United States mail. Debs was arrested at the Lelaml hotel at 5 o’clock and Keliher at Ulrich’s hall a half hour later. The other three are aiso believed to be under arrest. Bail wap fixed at $10,ODD in each case, '1 he penalty is a flue of from $1,000, to $10,000. An inquest was held at Hammond, Ind., over Charles Fleischer, who was killed by a stray shot, two blocks away, while the troops were firing on a mob who had thrown a rope over a Pullman car and were trying to pull it over to blockade the track on which |j 10 t rn |n boarimr tho troops was ap¬ proaching. The jury found that the deceased “came to his death l>y acci- dent caused by Co., D. 15th, Inf., U S. A., shooting wantonly and cave- iessly iti a peaceable crowd.” One hundred negroes marched into Scottdale, Pa., and Burgess Robinson ordered them to disperse, when they fired upon him. A riot ensued and the negroes were put to flight, pursued by a thousand citizens. Two negroes were shot, one of them fatally. Oth- era were badly beaten. Another attack is expected, the negroes, roiu- forced and led by Sanford White, superintendent of the McLure Coke Company, having gathered at the city bunts. An armed body of citizen* gone to meet them, Bruno M. llaubold, superintendent of the American Upholstery but Company, Atlanta, Ga., went with some comtades to spend an afternoon at Icevilie. About 1;30 next morning he was found near his home on Yottge Street, »nd helped into his house by , 1,18 Ulber ai,d 1,18 wlfe ’ He 1,ad bee, ‘ robbed and terribly beaten, and was unconscious. It was 4 o’clock in tlio a ft ern oon before he could give any coherent account of his adventure, and even then could tell but little, He remembers getting into a cab 1 about 7 o’clock to go home. Nothing seemed very clear after that. The opinion prevails that he was drugged by thieves, and that, not being reduced to a passive state he resisted and was beaten. But it is all a mystery, Among the little incidents of the - big strike, inaugurated by the great American Railway union, are tho burning of the 225 freight cars on the tracks of the Pan-Handle road in j Chicago, yards. and of Most 350 in and these about the stock of cars were loaded. It was noticed that the leaders of tho mob were most- ly foreigners. Some hundreds of the mob, by way of variety in amusiii ■ , themselves, caught two workmen, who were trying to repair a track, and heat and cut them about their heads and faces witii clubs and coupling pips. They wore rescued alive by the police. Another victim of their sport was less fortunate. He was a special police¬ man and tried to defend a switch shanty. His revolver was accidentally discharged wounding him in the foot. The mob rushed in on him and stoned him to doath. At Phenix City, a suburb of Colum¬ bus, Ga., two brothers by the name of Brown, whito men, had some trouble with two negroes, Henry and Dick Reese, also brothers, who have been regarded as desperadoes. The four met on the street after midnight, en¬ tered a “soup room” and made prep¬ arations for a fight to the death. The lights were extinguished and tho struggle opened between Bud Brown and Dick Reese. Henry Reese pulled a pistol and fired. His ball, instead of hitting Brown, tore through tho body of Dick. Whereupon, Dick, thinking the other white man had fired the shot, aimed in the direction of tho flash and sent a ball into his brother, wounding him mortally. Dick Reese i s ; n a critical condition but may re- cover. Kid Harris, another negro, who was present, was Brown’brothers slightlv woutid- e d in the neck. The are employes of the Chattahoochee Brewery and are industrious men. Rioting miners destroyed a number 0 f freight cars in the Eastern Illinois railroad yards at Danville, Hi., by fire, during the night. Next morning a number of cars were derailed at Grape Creek on the Shelbyvillo, branch. The wreckage was cleared and the inbound passenger train moved on to Westville. Here it was eur- rounded by a mob of miners and held, A telegram to Danville brought a train with a company of state troops, Upon the approach of this train, the’ ln0 (j commenced firing at the soldiers, w ho, intending to scare them fired ovei . their heads. The result of this forbearance toward a gang of law breakers was the shooting of Miss clara j ame s, 17 years of’’age, who was standing in the door at home, and her instant' death. Mrs. Michael Glcnnau, a widow, in her own yard was shot and died in a few minutes, An unknown man was bit by a stray ball and mortally wounded.
