Mention was made a few days ago
in these columns, that the piping in the
well being bored at the Court House
had gone crooked, so crooked that, in
order to straighten it, (because it was
impossible to withdraw it) it was. ne
cessary to dig down around the easing
until the crooked part was reached.
With this intention, the hands started
upon a hole of the dimensions or

a depth ofabout fifty feet was reached.

“Did you see Senator Hill while von
were in Atlanta?" asked a gentleman
of Judge Wright yesterday.
“Yes, I saw him, and I wish I had
not,” answered the Judge. “It 13 the
saddest spectacle I ever saw in my
life.’’
“Does he look any ways natural.

I could understand nothing he said ex

seems to understand everything lie
says and told me his father was glad
to see me, and that as it was impossible
for the Senator to make himself un
derstood for me to do all the talking,
so that he would make no 1 ffort. This
I did. and I spent several minutes in
conversation. Mr. Hill and I have
been warm and intimate friends for a
long time, and at any allusion by me
to the past or any event in the past the
tears would triekle down his cheeks.
As I took my leave he grasped my
hand and broke into a flood of tears,
saying, ‘Good-bye: God bless you,’
between his clenched teeth. It was a

An Early Moraine Blaze.
At about half-past 4 o'clock Thurs
day morning the fire alarm bell
made Albany full of early risers. The
cause of the alarm was the burning of
Dr. McMillan's kitchen. The fire
companies were on band. The color
ed companies worked with Ihcir usual
vigor, but the Thronatetska’s engine
was rendered ineffectual by some ac
cident to the machinery. The dwell
ing did not ignite, and only the kitch
en and its contents were consumed
There is every indication that the fire
was the work of an incendiary,
though it is strange that any person
could bear such hatred against Dr.
McMillan, who is one of the most
genial and best tempered gentlemen in
the city. There had been no fire in
the stove since noon of the day previ-
ons, Dr. McMillan being called to
Newton, and as there were none of
tlie family at home but Mrs. M. and
little Johnnie, no cooking was done at
night We presnme it will always
he a mystery as to how the building
caught. There was no insorance on
the kitchen furniture, but luckily the
contents of tho d welling, which were
almost wrecked by the removal and
water, were insured. Many friends
sympathise with the Doctor and his
family in theirloss.
Meeting or Republicans or tbe Sec
ond Congressional District.
Pursuant -o_a call issued the Re
publicans cf the Second Congressional
District by delegates met in Albany
Saturday for the parposc of selecting
and organizing a Congressional execu
tive committee. The attendance was
quite large, embodying delegates from
every connty in the district. It re
sulted in electing a large executive
committee, almost too long for publi
cation, of which Charles W. Arnold is
chairman, and Charles Wessolowsky
the secretary and treasurer. Besides
the passage of resolutions of endorse
ment of. tbe ’National administration
and of congratulation upon tbe liberal
spirit of the present Georgia adminis
tration, no other business was trans
acted.
ami, at that depth, one of

the colored workman, at tbe bottom.
Mr. J ackson had been down with him
a few minutes and given orders about
the work. lie signaled to the men

swung to a safe seat on the brink of
the well a scream from below told him
too pliiuly that tho well had caved in
on poor Berry.
THE WOBK or RECOVERING THE BOLT.
It was apparent to every one of the
large number of workers and specta
tors thatlife must surely be extinct in
tbe poor man below, when the work
of recovering the body from its horrid
sepulture commenced. Two small
ropes, attached to two sou-.-quarter
mackerel kegs manipulated by strong
slid willing hecd3 began tlie slow
work of removing the twelve feet of
earth that covered the victim. It was
no cowardly heart that would consent
to go down to load the buckets. Vol
unteers were called, and promptly
stepped up Henry Taylor, Elijah Al
len. Mr. Beach (a white man), and
Henry Pace. These men had to work
by spells because the heat would not
allow but a few minutes work at the
bottom. This w ork began at about 4
o’clock, and before it had finished
nightfall came on. Lights were im
provised for the workers at the bot
tom by means of a very large mirror
and a locomotive headlight. Bucket-
full after bucketful! comes up, and
after awhile the man with the pick and
spade calls out to haul him up. He
comes up, and as the reflectors throw
a lurid light about his form the spec
tators know by tlie terrified expression
on his feature- that he has found the
mail. “Who'll go down and tie hint?’’
cries a voice. “Here!” Says Mr. Beach
ker, and down he goes upon the main
rope. The crowd is hu ihed with ex
citement until the feeble Toice at the
bottom calls "Haul away!” Taut
conies the rope, and it - immediate
ly gives away. Another trial
and another give away. “Haul me
up,” asks the voice and as he arrives at
tho top Barker says that he lias tied
the corpse firmly under the arms hut
that tbe rope, when hauled upon, bad
slipped over the head. (Tbe body at
this time was buried waist deep.)
Who will be the man to go down'and
tie the rope again?” There is a pause
and Jim Wood*, Mr. Jackson’s man,
is ordered, dowt. The order is given
and in a second be is whirling around
upon the main rope in his decent. It
is the work of ten minutes and tbe
word to “haul up" is giveu. A slow,
'toady pull is mado and in a few sec
onds the weird light of the torches re
flect upon the cold, stark body of
William Berry.
Tlie dead form was carried into the
ordinary’s room at the court house,
life pronounced extinct by physicians
and then turned over to friends.
Virginia Military
Itnte.
In theTist of this year’s graduates

any account of how the yonne ™«n
acquitted himself, but we feel safe in
saying that not one of tbe class will

than Sam. Success in life to him is

his and of his father’s in Albany.

wncm sae nears a stnKing personal re
semblance, is a music pupil of Bunts'.
The girls go to.taEs their lessons late
in the afternoon, and, as a consequence,
sometimes the wife was quite late 111
the evening returning from her in
struction. On Friday night Stewart
says he wss proceeding borne about
eleven o’clock, having been detained
until that hour by h:s duties at the
hotel; and, when he had come to a
fence Dear his home, be heard subdued
. voices in a fence corner near t>y, and
immediately went up to the spot
from whence he proceeded to investi
gate. The investigation sufficed to
create the impression on Stewart’s
mind that the owners of tbe voices
were the Rev. Bunts' and the partner
of His joys. He immediately proceed
ed to ambush himself, and pretty soon
the couple resumed their walk. They
passed by Stwart, who, as soon as he
had gotten in the rear, whacked down
on the Reverend’s head with his stick.
Though stunned, Bunts grappled with
his antagonist, who drew forth a bot
tle and struck him over tbe
head. This ended tbe fight. Stew
art’s. surprise may. be imagined when
he found ont, after he had committed
the rash act, that the woman was not
his wife bnt his sister-in-law. No
apology would appeaso the wounded
Buutu, who on the following day
swore out a warrant for assault and
battery against Stewart. The arrest
was made and Stewart gave bond
quickly for his appearance . before
Judge Jones in the sum of $100.
Here the matter rests. Bunts’ side
of the affair is that Stewart had for
several days entertained notions which
he had more than once expressed
against his wife farther proceeding
with her musical education, and that
he (Bunts) had endeavored to discour
age her continuance in his class. She
perversely kept on, and on the night
mentioned ho and a friend were escort
ing the two sisters home when he was
attacked by Stewart.
Both the men are respected in the
community, and mutual friends hope
tbey will soon settle the matter ami
cably, which matter it seems was so
perfectly a case of raisL-ikea identity.
Good and faithfnl work was done
daring Monday towards a settlement
of the Stewart-Bunts difficulty, bat the
appearance of the paper Tuesday,
morning containing Stewart’s version
of the trouble, in which he spoke of a
fence corner, aroused the sleeping lion
in Bnnt’s breast, and he was not will
ing to rest with such an aspersion
upon his ministerial character. Ac
cordingly he started out about midday
upon a gunning expedition after Stew
art. He walked about town freely
with bis gnn and giving it out unre
servedly that he meant blood. The_
persuasion of friends, both white and
black, was not sufficient to induce him
to lay down his weapon.
Stewart, hearing of the expedition
after him, went before a magistrate
and swore out a peace warrant, upon
which the beligereot Bunts was arre-t
ed. He gave the bond very readily
behind which he gnashes his teeth at
the man who innocently belabored
him all on account of a little mis
take.

Accident to Geu. and Mrs. CVrlabt
ill North Georgia.
Gen. G. J. Wright, accompanied by
Mrs. Wright and Iht-ir little niece,
Miss Dorothy, left Albany a few days
ago to spend a few weeks near La-
Fayette, in Walker com ty, which is
in the extreme northwestern portion
of the State, near the Tennessee line.
’The little party left iu good health
and spirits, and doubtless much pleas
ure wa9 anticipated by them in the
cool shades of North Georgia.
Friends in Albany were filled with
anxious solicitude Wednesday upon the
receipt of a letter by Mr. F. C. Jones
from Gen. Wright, informing him that
his return to Albany wonld be delayed
on account of a serious accident to
himself and Mrs. Wright The letter
stated that as they were traveling in a
hsck down one of the many little
mountains in that section the horses
ran away and threw them out, break
ing one of the bones of Mil. Wright’s
left arm and otherwise braising her
and mashing the General op pretty
considerably bat breaking none of his
bones. Tbe runaway, the letter states,
was a most terrific one. Little Doro
thy fell twelve feet before striking
the ground and the General ten, carry
ing the little girl’s trank in one
hand and holding her in tbe other nntil
the force of the fall jerked his hold
loose.
The three are at Gen. Wright’s sis
ter’s and are doing well, though Mrs.
Wright is unable to travel and will
be for several days. The General
eays he hopes to be home tbe .latter
part of the week.

The bride is one of onr most gifted
and popular young ladies, and it is but
evincing the sentiment of all who
know her to say that Prof. Callaway
has secured a great treasure. Prof.
Callaway has been very successfully
conducting a large school in East Ala

State. He is a son of Prof. Callaway,

More About Col. Clarence Wilson, ol
Blakelr.
It has been more than two months
since tbe public, through the News
and Advebtisee, has been regaled
with any information concerning thi-
agile yoang limb of the law, who op
erates as well in borrowing horses as
he does in the mnsty psges of Black-
stone. His trooble was so plainly set
forth that it requires no recapitulation
of events to introduce him to oar read
ers. It was thought by the quitude
that has recently surrounded his case,
that for mercenary consideration, his
prosecution as a horse thief had been
squashed, and he was left in Blakely
to mend his way and walk a correct
path. He pat on the air of a martyr
so consummately Hist many of the
friends of the News and Advebtisee
were disposed to chide os for perform
ing onr duty in giving an account of
his arrest.
Well, to come to the point: The
Colonel has skipped. He has shaken
the dust of Blakely from his sandals.-
and gone in pursuit of “fresher fields
and pastures green.” The young wife
and hoary headed father who, so stub
bornly espoused his cause while under
arrest in Albany, are left to mourn,
and -the unborn babe is to otter its
first trail as a curse to tbe paltroon
father who deserted it before it open
ed its eyes in the world.
He has gone!. Nobody knows where!
May a just God who watches over the
fatherless pat npon him a brand that he
may be shunned by sU mankind as he
wsnderetsbout the world a thief, a
beast, a fiend.

Mow to Treat Babies In Midsummer.
Exchange.
It i3 a pretty big job to pilot a baby
through a summer’s campaign,
prominent Cincinnati physician being
interviewed the other day expressed
the opinion that s baby should never
be given milk save from the breast ot
its mother, cr if that be impossible,
from the breast of a foster mother.
He stated that so many of the dairy
cows now-s-days are consumptive or
otherwise diseased that in the first
place their milk, if unadulterated, is
poisonous. Again,, ho said that the
cows’ milk is jolted for hours in hot
weather before it is delivered to con
turners and thus is literally churned
Thus it is eminently unfit for the use
of infants. The conduct of mothers
who nurse their children from the
breast wss also referred to. Frequent
ly it is tbe case that mothers become
overheated and wrought up over the
washtttb and other household duties
and their milk is then unfit for aebild
to drinR. A 'baby’s stomach is irri
table and tenaer. It i- ove-loaded with
milk and it becomes a source of paiD,
ju-t as a cinder does when it flies into
a person’s eye. Remove the cinder
and relief follows. The babythrows
op tha milk and tbe pain ceases, un
less it be hot weather, when it goes
off throngh the bowels and and sick
ness results. Si it ii with solid food
only in a more prononnei-d degree
Therefore, solid food ahonld n t b
given an infant until it is able to masti
cate its food. Especially starch food,
such as potatoes, etc., should bo avoid
ed.
One great mistake that mothers make
is to suckle, their children every time
they cry. That is not rigbL They
ought not to give them the breast
oftener than once in two hours at first,
and this ioterval ought to be lengthen
ed to three hours after awhile. Dur
ing the night they should not suckle
them more frequently than once. The
proper thing to do is to give them a
drink of water. The little things are
oftener thirsty than hungry. The
doctor said that ice should be given
the little ones in abnndance while
teething. It relieves and cools the
hot, iufiammed gums, and the baby
does not swallow enough ice water to
hurt it, because it wastes the greater
part of it.
The use of flannels on babies all
through the summer was animadvert
ed up severely. The doctor declared
that the children should be clad to
suit the weather. Such a temperature
as the last week has proved to be re
quires the use of flannels, but iu very
warm weather the infants ought to be
allowed abont one garment and that a
pretty light one.

Last sight Mr. Thomas F. Martagh,
who was assaulted about a week ago
and seriously injured in Savannah by
some unknown party or parties, died
at his late residence on the northwest
corner of Daffy and Lincoln streets.
Mr. Martagh was formerly a letter
carrier in this city, and latterly in the
employ o.f the Savannah, Florida
and Western Railway Company as
messenger, and was very populsr
among his many acquaintances, who
are at a loss to account for the motive
which prompted the assault which has
terminated so sadly. The death of
Mr. Murtagh is deeply deplored, and
the sympathy of tlie community Is ex
pressed in emphatic terms for the
members of the family who haTe -thus
been deprived of a most valued mem
ber.’.
Mr. Mnrlagb’s run brought him
Albany, and he was well known
not a few ofonrpeople. He wasqniet
and unobtrusive and will be
by many who did" not
him personally as a youngish looking
man who always wore the uniform of
the mail service with a white cap. He
had some affection of the throat sad
could scarcely speak above a whisper.
That is what a. great
many people are doing;
They don’t know just what
is the matter, but they have
a combination of pains and
aches, and each month they
grow worse.
The only sure remedy
yet found is Brown’s Iron
Bitters, and this by rapid
and thorough assimilation
with the blood purifies and
enriches it, and rich, strong
blood flowing to every part
of the system repairs the
wasted tissues, drives out
disease and gives health and
strength.
