STATE NEWS NOTES.
CULLED FROM MANY SOURCES
BRIEFLY PARAGRAPHED.
Happenings of , „ General , Interest , to
Georgia Readers.
After ... eluding , ,. the ., authorities ., ... for .
nearly two months, William Connell,
the slayer ol Sheriff Dunham, of
Montgomery county, has consented to
surrender voluntarily by the advice of
his leading counsel.
Persons along the line of the Mid-
die Georgia and Atlantic railroad will
be given low rates to the Newton coun-
ty Sunday school celebration, which
comes off in Covington on tho 19th
inst.
Senator John T. Morgan, of Ala-
bama, will attend the Griffin conven-
tion and will lift up his voice in the
cause of bimetallism on July 18th.
This silver convention will bo the first
state convention of the kind held in
the south.
The people of Talbot county are
wide awake these days. They wanted
a bank, and one has been established.
They wanted a creamery, and a cream¬
ery is now in operation. Tho latest
want is an oil mill and subscriptions
to the amount of $6,025 have already
been raised. Tho oil mill will be
built.
It is understood that the Central,
the Georgia and the Atlanta and West
Point railroads, with an aggregate of
about 2,200 mileB of track, covering
almost the whole state of Georgia, ex¬
cept the portion covered by the South¬
ern railway, which will erect an inde¬
pendent building, will join in the
erection of a handsome building for a
display of the resources of their re¬
spective territories at the Cotton States
and International exposition.
In the marriage of Brooks Townes,
a young Atlanta lawyer, and Miss Fan-
nie Rosa Atkinson, at Kirkwood, Ga.,
a few days ago, a contract made 21
years ago was fulfilled. Wtien the
two were infants their mothers plight-
od them. Mrs. Atkinson gave a deed
for her daughter to the Townes baby
boy. The children did not see each
other from the time they were 3 years
old until they were 20, when they met
by accident. Each knew of the con-
tract and they proceeded to fall in
love with each other and carry out the
agreement.
Judge Newman, at Atlanta, has is-
sued an order to cempel J. M. Malone,
E. Forest Simmons and A. J. Robin-
son to show cause before him why
they should not be attached for con-
tempt. Somo time ago Judge Newman
appointed Mr. A. P. Hull receiver of
the Piedmont Marble Company on tho
application of A. J. Robinson. Mr.
Hull went to tate to take charge of the
property of the company and found
Mr. J. M. Malone in possession. He
refused to let Mr. Hull tako charge
and the order for contempt was issued.
The case will be heard at the next ses¬
sion of the court.
Seymour Keener, the crazed lover
who killed his sweotheart in tho north
Georgia mountains and also fatally
wounded her sister, who was accom-
panying her, has been taken to the
Hall county jail for safe keeping.
Rabun county court will meet in Au¬
gust in Clayton, when Keener’s trial
will occur, the outcome of which no
one can tell. It is said that in Rabun
county no man has over been hung by
due process of law. The wife mnr
derer, Beck, was not bung, though the
popular verdict was that he should
have been if any man ever deserved it.
Doubtless Keener’s friends will enter a
plea of iusanity. They seem to have a
basis for it in his queer conduct.
The Harris Will Case.
,
The effort to break the will of tho
late Young L. G. Harris came up in
the court of Ordinary Herrington at
Athens a few days ago. There are
many sensational features connected
with the ease.
The appraised value of Mr. Harris’
estate was $104,418, but it is believed
to be worth fully $150,000 and possi¬
bly more.
In his will he made a large number
of bequests to educational institutions
and tract societies, but one strange
thing was that not a penny was left to
any institution of whatever character
xn Athens, the place where his suc-
cesses camo to him and where ho was
known and honored. The balanco of
the estate, save a few minor bequests,
went to tho relatives of his wife.
It is understood that the Caveators
will endeavor to show that fraud and
undue influence were used by Mr.
Harris’ wife’s relatives, Mrs. Hampton
and Miss Comer, the principal legatees
under the will; that Mr. Harris was
_ made
to labor under a misapprehen¬
sion as to the feelings of his own rela¬
tives to him; that misrepresentations
wene made to him and his mind poi-

Sentenced for Pension Fraud.
An old man, bent with the weight of
over three-soore years, tottered feebly
into th(J offioo of United States Attor-
noy James at Atlanta n few days ago.
He stood with an appealing look on
his furrowed countenance, holding in
„„ e hand a tattered straw hat and pull-
ilif . at the end of bis long gray beard
with the other. He wax recognized by
the attorney as W. L. Hunter, from
Fannin county, who had been charged
and sentenced for pension fraud over
a year ago,
“I’ve come to give myself up and go
on to the penitentiary,” he said. “I
heard they’ve decided against me, and
I guess tho sooner I got through with
it the better.” Colonel James looked
nt the man with a sympathetic glance,
but he was forced to obey the order of
!aw - A. deputy marshal waB called and
Hunter was carried off to jail, and was
subsequently carried before Judge
Newman to receive sentence.
Colonel Bill Hunter in the years
past was a noted character in North
Georgia. He was a bitter republican
and iu all political fights played aeon-
spicuous jiart. For many years he
was a school teacher and he nurtured
the young idea of many a mountain
lad. Afterwards he was appointed
pension agent, and it was in this ca¬
pacity that the trouble occurred for
which he received a long sentence in
the United States prison at Golutnbus,
Ohio.
Elizabeth Hughes was an old woman
whose husband was in the Mexican
war. Through Hunter she applied for
n pension and was allowed $2, GOO. Of
this it was proved, when Hunter was
tried in the United States court, she
received only half.
The old man was tried over a year
ago. Through his lawyers the case
was appealed to the supreme court of
the United States. A verdict of guilty
had been rendered and he he had been
sentenced to thirteen months in the
penitentiary.
Upon tbe appeal of his case he was
let out on bond. The motion for a
new trial was overruled some weeks
ago. Hunter was notified and,as above
stated, presented himself to court
again.__
TRADE TOPICS.
Collections in the South Reported Slow
and Business Moderate.
Bradstreet’s report on business for
the past week says:
“Dominating trade conditions of the
week are continued large in demand
and further increase in prices for iron
and steel, which have surprised even
the trade. The jump iu rail prices
“ n( l scarcity of and higher valuations
f° r nails have tended to produce tem-
porary scarcity.
“With the further advance ip prices
°f ' ron and steel should be coupled
K ain °f 1 cent, per pound for wool,
which apparently began its journey to
a higher level about a fortnight ago.
Better quotations have also been made
for cheaper grade woolen goods, 2J
cents per yard for prints, bessemer
pig, billets, wheat, pork, lard, hogs,
shoes and copper, while declines in
prices are recorded for flour, corn,
oats, coffee, naval stores and cattle.
Sugar, coal and lumber are practically
unchanged.
“Total bank clearings, $1,011,-
000,000, while less for cities than a
week ago by 6.5 per cent, are 32 per
cent, larger than in the last week of
June, 1894; 6 per cent, larger than in
that week in 1893, a month after the
panic had got fully under way, but 2
per cent, smaller than in the corres¬
ponding week in 1892.
“Business failures in the United
States for six months, as reported to
Bradstreet’s, show a marked falling off
in the second quarter of the past six
months, as was to be expected, but not
such a decline relatively as in the seo-
ond quarter of 1894, which resuled in
a total for six months of 6,597, or 1
per cent more than last year; 6 per
cent, more than in 1893, and 9 per
cent, more than in the first half of
1891, after tho Baring crash. But the
total liabilities have shrunk more than
$3,000,000 from last year and more than
one-half within two years, pointing to
the excess in the number of failures
being due rather to continued effects
of the recent business disturbance on
smaller enterprises than to new and
unfavorable conditions.
“At New York there is nearly the
usual volume of raids utnmer trade in
staple goods. At Philadelphia the im¬
provement in demand for staples and
for iron and steel as well as at Pitts¬
burg, is again conspicuous. There is
relatively less gain at Buffalo, but at
Baltimore the outlook for fall business
is regarded as excellent.
“This savors of a general revival of
business at the south, but merchants
of most of the leading cities in that
region report that the demand contin¬
ues very moderate and collections are
slow. Cotton and fruit crops in the
south Atlantic states promise well and
the business outlook is reported en¬
couraging. Incessant rains in Texas
have hurt the crops. Increased ship¬
ments by Galveston jobbers are report¬
ed due rather more to the freight war
than to increasing demand.”
“In Union, Strength and Prosperity Abonnd.”
MORE BLOOD SPILLED
And Charged Up to South Carolina’s
Dispensary Law.
The latest sensation in connection
with the dispensary system of South
Carolina is furnished by Spartanburg.
Last Friday morning, at the hour of 1,
two citizens were killed and two state
cons a es were wouuiei , one mor
tall L the other seriously. This is tho
Btor y ? £ the awful happening so far as
mortals can ever know. There were
no disinterested witnesses of the War,
only the constables and moonshiners
saw and heard.
Sinoe the dispensary system went in-
effect the people of the wild Blue
Pl( ‘8 e Mountains, winch are distant
about twenty miles from upartanburg
have been giving the dispensary peo-
pie a great deal of worry, the close
proximity to the North Carolina hills
nas made it extremely dimouit for the
constables of Governor Evans to keep
mountain whiskey out of the town and
county, in spite ot all that could be
“ one ttle moonshiners would bring
down me product ot their stills, me
ul ‘ has been that the Spartanburg
dispensary has been unable to prosper
J g™dert CI 7 reoently the constables, about
the alert and and ha™ have nlanned planned ^catch to catch
the mountain men.
Several days ago Constable Toland,
a resident officer, applied to help to
execute his plans. This he p was
granted by the chief constable, and
Friday morning the plans were tried.
However, several nights previous were
put in trying to catch the game, but
with no success. The constables sta-
tioned themselves at a point on tho
mountain road about four miles from
the city and waited for the mountain
schooner, with its cargo of whisky. At
1 o’clock their watch wan rewarded and^Gon-
Thewason J ho wagon camoin came in siffht sight, and Lon
stable Stevenson stepped into the
road and catching the bridle of a
mule, told the men to surrender. The
constable said that a man on the
wagon expressed a preference to snr-
render, but began immediately to
shoot. The firing then became gene-
ral. The constables used their shot
guns and pistols upon the crew of the
schooner, and received in return a
volley of bullets from the wagon,
How many men were on the wagon no
one knows. When the firing ended
two moonshiners, Jack Fisher and Bill'
Durham, were found dead and two
constables wounded, Pettigrew"b> a
ball just below the right nipple; To-
ian d through the right lung. The
former will die. Toland has good
chances of recovery.
There is no account other than that
given by the constables. The coroner
held an inquest Friday afternoon, and
the verdict was to the effsot that the
men came to their death by gunshot
wounds from the guns of unknown
parties. A strange feature of the af¬
fair is that the guns found on the
wagon of the mountaineers contained
their full charge; they gave no evi¬
dence of having been fired.
There is great excitement in the
mountains. Fisher and Durham were
kiDgs of tho mountains from Spartan¬
burg to Asheville, and have a host of
followers.
Later News.
On Saturday the awful tragedy was
still the talk of the town. Farmers
from the country poured into tho city
to talk and hear the story of the crime.
The situation is indeed a serious one
and the worst, it is thought, is yet to
come. How soon, the friends of Fish¬
er and Durham alone can tell. The
feeling at Tryon, N. C., and surround¬
ing country, tho home of the murder¬
ed men, is intense and further trouble
will surely come.
Word was received from the moun¬
tains that the friends of Fisher and
Durham were worked up to the pitch
of excitement and were buckling on
their Colt’s pistols. They have sworn
to avenge the death of their brother
and friend. A state constable would
stand no more showing in Tryon, N.
C., than a rabid dog. Stevenson and
Byers are now in jail with the charge
»f murder hanging over their heads.
DISCHARGING PENSION CLERKS.
New Men to be Put in the Knoxville
Office by Secretary Smith.
A surprise and commotion was en¬
acted in the pension office at Knox¬
ville Thursday when five clerks were
notified that their services would he
dispensed with on July 1st. The Smith. or¬
der came from Secretary Hoke Clerks
It is understood that five new
will be substituted. Four of these are
from Georgia and one from Alabama.
All the discharged clerks Were efficient
men and one of them was a Cleveland
elector in the last campaign. They
have been in office but little over a
year and having moved to Knoxville
are now left stranded with families on
their hands. The impression is that
Secretary Smith is looking out for
Georgia friends.
The Alpine Tunnel Reopened.
The Alpine tunnel on the South Park
railroad, Colorado, said to be the
highest railroad tunnel in the world,
was reopened Tuesday. It has been
snpwed up the past five years, The
tunnel is at an altitude of 11,660 feet,
is 1,776 feet long and was borei^ nine
years ago at a cost of $260,000.

tracted the attention of British invest-
ors and the British foreign office has
given notice that the specifications for

ment buildings at London. The Bu-

from Minister Lazo Arriaga copies of

The ordnance department of the
army is making good progress in the
work of constructing tho new small
bore rifles at the Springfield armory,
The entire infantry army of the ser-
vice has already been supplied with
the new weapon, the artillery branch
is now being supplied and the work of
making the carbine for the use of the
cavalry is well under way. It is fully
expected that the entire United States
army will be equipped with the weap¬
on before next winter. Then the ord¬
nance department will turn its atten¬
tion to supply the militia of the states
and the old Springfield rifles will be
retired as fast as the armory can re¬
place them with new guns.
Tho expenditures for the four years
of civilian administration of the weath¬
er bureau ending June 30, are esti¬
mated at $3,398,090. The appropria¬
tions for the same period have been
$3,632,953. These facts are pointed
out in an official statement detailing
the growth of the bureau. The ex¬
penditures for the present fiscal year
will aggregate $835,000 against total
appropriations of $878,439. The esti¬
mated surplus for the bureau remain¬
ing in the treasury July 1, will be
$43,439. The average annual expense
of the service for ten years under the
military organization was $924,661
and under four years of civil organiza¬
tion $849,523.
Private letters received at Washing¬
ton from Caracas state that Congress¬
man Leonidas Livingston, of Georgia,
was the recipient of many public and
private courtesies during his recent
visit to Venezuela. The local author¬
ities at La Guayra were notified to fa¬
cilitate his landing at that port. His
hotel bill was paid by the Venezuelan
authorities while he remained at Cara¬
cas, and numerous entertainments
were given in his honor. In this
manner both the government and the
citizens of the republic endeavored to
show their appreciation of the friend¬
ship which Mr. Livingston displayed
for them in securing the passago by
the house of representatives at the last
session of a resolution demanding that
the differences between Venezuela and
Great Britain should be arbitrated.
A fifteen-year-old boy employed as
a messenger in the state department
has been detected robbing the mails
directed to the passport bureau, and
although the investigation is being con¬
ducted secretly, enough has leaked
out to prove a case of precocious ras¬
cality. Just at this time of the year,
when so many people are going abroad,
the passport bureau does a thriving
business in furnishing evidence of
nationality, principally of those born
abroad, who have secured their Ameri¬
can citizenship through our naturali¬
zation process. Applications for pass¬
ports must be aoeompanied by $1, and
knowledge of this fact has led to sys¬
tematic robbery of incoming letters
by tho boy. It appears that he has
not only secured $400 or $500 within
the past few weeks, but to cover up his
thefts has destroyed all the applica¬
tions that came into his hands, to¬
gether with their iuclosures, including
the naturalization papers so priceless
to adopted citizens.
To Protect Crows.
In a recent agricultural / department J
roport> farmer aro caution to , ro .
fraiu from waging a general war of ex-
termination of crow and blackbirds.
While at times they injure crops, their
depredations, according to the depart-
men t. can usually be prevented. On
the other hand they do incalculable
good by destroying insects. Tho grain
eatenbythcmunderordinarycircnm-
stances does not cause serious loss, ns
much of it consists of scattered or
waste kernels. Their occasional de¬
scent on corn or wheat fields in
flocks of hundreds or thousands in-
dicatcs that the species is too nbund-
ant and should be reduced. Practic-
able means should be taken by farm-
er8 t o protect themselves and ex-
tremo .penalties inflicted if the crop
and the birds’ lives cannot both be
saved, Another report deprecates
the general condemnation of reptorial
birds for the offense of a few. It la¬
ments the lack of knowledge of the
life histories of these birds on the part
of legislative committees that draft
the game laws of the various states,
That the benefioial ev.nla.liy species of hawks
«..d o.l. .ill b. protect.!,
H claimB there is not the sii « hteat
doubt. When farmers are convinced
that the birds are their friends, they
will demand protection for them, and
already leading agricultural and sports-
mon journals are deploring the indis-
criminate slaughter.

to avoid being mobbed. The people,
on reading the article, became so in¬

FRUIT MEN SATISFIED.
They Succeed In Getting Lower Rates
of Freight.
The fruit men of Georgia have won
the fight against the railroads and will
get a lower rate of freight. This was
decided at the close of the hearing at
Atlanta, but just what the new rate
will be cannot be determined until a
conference is held between the rate
committee of the Southern Railway
and Steamship Association and the
railroad commissioners.
The members of the rate committee
have been summoned to appear before
the commissioners for a conference.
This is necessary, for under the law,
the rate being for interstate oommerce,
complaint can be made to the state
commission and if it considers the rate
excessive it will so decide and will
then call on the rate committee to re¬
duce it.
If it fails to reduce the rato, then
the state commission will appeal to
the interstate commission for a reduc¬
tion.
The fruit men made a gallant fight
and they are rejoicing in the victory
they have won.
Distilleries to Shut Down.
Before the 10th inst., all the distil¬
leries in the Pittsburg, Pa., district
will be closed for periods of from two
to six months. There is a depression
of very distinct proportions in the
whisky business at this time, and the
stoppage will be one of unusual dura¬
tion. There are forty-eight distilleries
in the Pittsburg district. About seven¬
ty gnagers and clerks of the internal
revenue service will be laid off, and
1,000 laborers will be out of emp.oy-

Well Known Author.
Professor Huxley, the great English
naturalist, who has been ill for some
time, died at his home in London Sat¬
urday afternoon. His mind was clear
to the last and his death was painless.
He began to fail about the beginning
of March. A severe attack of influ¬
enza was followed by bronchitis and
his heart, lungs and kidneys became
affected.
