It is reported that tbe stabbing occurred in the midit of a crowd, who made no effort to prevent it. the present writing there are only ten of these gentlemen In the field. What spe cial qualifications they have for sitting on remains or spotting crime are not stated. The presumption is they are simply after tbe spoils of the ofllce.

He has probably made Fnltbn one of the best coroners tbe county has ever hsd, and is popular with all classes. When lie comes to sit on the corpse of a suicide or an ac cidental death, or such portions thereof as remain, and to confer with his jury as to the causes, etc , there is a finish and thor oughness about tbe delicate ceremony that leaves nothing to he desired. Ratal Stabbing Affray. [special telegram.] Atlanta. September 29.—A bloody and perhaps fatal difflcnlty occurred late this evening at fli Decatur street, between two young men. William F.

Ellis stabbed Owens five times, 5?!,,m»telv" her "condition was discov- £2 to time to call in a phyal- e ?fn whose skillful attention l?a few hours placed her out of danger, she has the* tried a very strong remedy tad it is to be hoped that it will work a thorough cure.

Atlanta, September 30.—'There hes gen erally existed In the public mind in this State considerable contusion concerning the apparent ar.d actual balances in the treasdry. White It lias been time and again eipltined that usually the apparent bslanre, as indicated in the annnai reports of the' treasurer, is far in excess of the funds actually on h»n,l, it.has been, never- thelesi, cust unary to use the lormer as a basis in discussing tbe Spences of tbe State. It sometimes happens, for instance, tbit the Treasurer pays out 1250,009 to the account oi interest on the public debt on presentation ol the coupons. These cou pons are held by the Treasurer as his Touchtra, and when they aro all in they are sent up to thq Governor for examina tion, and it correct, a warrant is drawn covering tbe whole amount. Until that warrant ia drawn ami in the hands of the Treasurer the amount »o paid out still appears In the treasury reports as cash on band. It has been de termined that hereafter in the official reports of the treasurer the balsLce indi cated shall be the actual balance, and not tbs apnarent. This Is an improvement which will be found to be useful in mote respects than one, and of no little service to legislatures in makin g appropriations ,tn showing th-m what available funds exist in the treasury. To carry the change into effect it will be necessary to hurry tbe vouchers forward to the executive department, so that the proper warrants may issue coveting the payments. It will facilitate the work In both department!. rat texalty. MELBOURNE PRIZE FIGHTERS. The Short Work That Farnan Made of Jackson White Fighting co a Finish. The latest advices from Australia say that tbe glove fight between the heavy weight champion pugilists, William Far ed, waa decided in Victoria Hall, Mel bourne, recently. They fought to a fin ish. Queensberrv endurance rules, for $500 a side. Two thousand sporting ram were present. Farnan was attended by George Smith and Jack Cody, while Ned Powell and Peter Newton seconded Jack- son. Sam Rainbnry, the well-known bookmaker, was referee, and Abe Htcken timekeeper. Both principals bad trained like beavers, but were somewhat fine. Farnan weighed 178 and Jackson 191 pounds. Richard K. Fox recently aent lor Farnan to visit the United States, and contemplates on his ar rival to match him for $2,500aside against heavy weights here. The Melbourne fight was over in three rounds. Ro-md first—The men sparred warily for some time, and watched each other tor an advantage. Jackson finally ientout his left, but fell short. Then some quick ex changes took place, and Jackson got in a heavy blow on Farnan’a jaw with the left, and followed it up with a right-hander on the ribs which sent him down. When he got up he was a little shaky. Jackson again brought him down with a blow on the neck. Jackson then forced the fight ing. and some short-arm work followed till time waa up. Round second—Farnan opened the bat tle with a swinging blow on the negro’s ribs, which made him gasp. Then they closed, and Farnan, having bis right arm free, bytan to punish Jackson in the stom ach. Finally, when they broke away, Jackson was almost doubled up. Farnan followed him into his coiner, and let him have it right end left, sending in some smashing blows on his fsce, neck and body, and had all the best of It. Round third—The meu came up gamely, both showing the effects ot tbe heavy pun Ishment. Farnan now forced the lighting, and dazed Jackson by a heavy blow on the jaw. Tbe latter now began to throw his hands around wildly, and Farnan, follow ing him. forced him on the ropes and knocked him down. As he was unable to get up within tbe ten seconds limit, the referee decided Farnan the victor. The whole time of the fight was 8 minutes and 35 seconds. A Leap-Year Episode.

On the next evening he met the •■me yonng lady, end again esMrtfd her home, and again waa privileged to kiss her ruby lips. At parting, ah* remarked: "Charlie, do you notice any difference nlng Field Charleston News and Courier. The cotton crop of 1884 Is now fairly open, and throughout the cotton belt great interest is manifested in the success of the Mason Cotton Harvester. In many quar ters there are symptoms of Impatience be cause the machine has not been placed on the market, or, at least, publicly tested, and some of our contemporaries are even indulging in cheap wit at the expense of the inventor. In order to satisfy, as far as possible, public Interest and curiosity in regard to this novel and extraordinary implement, the A r ews and Courier has taken pains to obtain accurate informa tion in regard to its development up to the present time, bb well as concerning the plans and expectations of the Cotton Har vester Company. In the first place, it should be stated that neither Mr. Mason nor any of those associated with him in perfecting his in vention has entertained any idea of placing the harvester on the market for general me during tbe present picking season. As far back as last December it was determined by the company to limit this vear’s operations to the man ufacture of a limited number of the ma chines of different sizes and varying patterns in order that several inodiffca* tions of the principle might be thor oughly tested before the manufacture of the machines for sale was begun. In pur* suance of this plan, Mr. Mason has con structed half a dozen machines in three sizes, and since the cotton first began to open experiments have been made every day with tbe machines in a field of cotton planted by the company for the purpose in the town of 8umter. The result of these experiments has shown the wisdom of the company in avoiding hasty action in ihe manufacture of the machines. Despite the greatest care and hardest work during the winter and spring to make the ma chines perfect, Mr. Mason found upon first testing them in the field this season that there were imperfections in con struction which must be overcome before the machine could be treated as a practi cal success. One by one these defects have been overcome, and such difficulties as remain to be solved relate almost ex clusively to the gear for the automatic re moval of tbe cotton into the bags after it has been picked and deposited in the re ceiving bexea of the machine. Tbe pick ing cylinders. which form the essential portion of the harvester, gathering the open cotton from the plants without injury to tbe plants or to the unopen fruit, work beautifully and with wonderful rapidity. This part of the machine, which has en gaged Mr. Mason's whole attention for many months, and the success of which practically solves the great problem of cotton-picking by machinery, scarcely needs any further improvement. Toe auxiliary contrivances for conveying the icked cotton into the bags, being of less mportance, have received less attention nd still need a good deal of modi fication, which must be the result of pa tient and protracted tests. Mr. Mason, however, feels no uneasiness abont these defects, and ia confident that tbe perfect ing of this part of the machine is only a matter of a little time. The difficulties expe rienced have been these: The picking stems gather tbe cotton and deposit it so rapidly upon the elevators that, in heavily fruited cotton, the capacity of the elevators has been inadequate to remove it as fast as it comes in. The result is that the elevators become gorged, and the revolving picker stems force tome of the cotton already picked, off the elevators and throw it on the gronnd. At the first glance this difficulty seems trifling, but. owing to the fact that only a very limited space is available for the nse of the eleva tors, it is not an easy matter, withont a general reconstruction of the frame of the machine, to remedy the fault With one 8 air of cylinders the machine picks about J per cent, of the open cotton in passing over a row once, and fc very nearly cleans the row by passing over it twice. Mr. Mason is now at work upon a machine carrying two pairs of cylinders, which he calculates will gather seven-eighths of the cotton at one picking. Arrangements have been made to have a public exhibition of the harvester be fore a committee appointed by the officers of the New Orleans World's Exposition and members of the National Cotton Planter*’. Association,and the commission er-general of the Woild's Exposition, in a letter to the secretary of the harvester company a few days ago, makes a sug- geatton about the testing of the machine, which will probably be adopted. The Cotton Harvester Company have replied to Col. Morehead that the com pany will be pleased to make the teat upon tbe terms and under the auspices he suggests. If desirable, the committee appointed by Director-General Burke Febi can witness the test at the same time or have another trial at a different time and Party. •r •" The State e\ • of the Kepnblh an par changes in the electoral ecutive commit!* ty ti. i-it'lit ticket so ns to have it conform with the new districts of the State.

Norfolk, September 28—While John Robinson’s circus was on the way to this city, to-day, two black tigers, tbe only black ones in this country, escaped from their cages through tbe ventilating holes, and, after killing two performing goats, took to the woods in Norfolk county.
