Amkricub, April 24.—The beautiful
holy calmness of the Sabbath morning
yesterday was marred and our peace
ful community thrown into a ripple
of sad excitement by the arrest and
looking up of William R. Jackson, on
the grave charge of handling coun
terfeit money.
For some days past, Chief of Police
Lamar and his foroe have been quietly
working on the still hunt for a coun
terfeiter, as several bad silver dollars
had been floating around.
Saturday night, Officer Wm. Smith
found in the possession of Ed. Wyntt,
a young Negro, some of the bad coin
and at once went to work to get the
Negro to tell where he got it. This
the Negro was determined, apparently
not to do. But, after several hours of
parley and persuasion, the Negro said
he would tell, but that the white man
from whom he got the money said that
if he “blowed” on him he would be cer
tain to kill him. But, when the officer
assurred the Negro that he would not
be hurt, he said: “Well, I got it from
Mr. Will Jackson.”
And, upon that statement, Jackson
was arrested while in bed early yester
day morning by Officers Smith and
Cobb.
Jackson said, when arrested, that he
knew nothing of the matter, but lie
was locked up, and the United States
authorities wired information of the
arrest.
Circumstantial evidence ia pretty
clear against him, and he will have to
stand a rigid examination before
Uncle Sam’a tribunal.
Jackson,it will be remembered, isthe
one wbotigured so highly in the Amer-
ious postoffioe robbery several years
ago,and was pardoned from SingSing
by President Cleveland. He belongs
to one of the oldest, wealthiest and
most aristocratic families of ante-bel
lum times.
He was arrested within n few hun
dred yards of his childhood home. A
more beautiful or magnificent one wns
not to be found in this whole oountiy
during Ins boyhood. But theold home
looks mournful as it stands promi
nently on Juokson Ilill in the eastern
and loveliest part of the oity In its di
lapidated and- tumbled down condi
tion.
Jackson is well connected in Sumter
county, and many who have done all
they could to befriend him and help
him to a better life after his return
from prison were made to feel di°cour<
aged and low-spirited by the develop'
ments of yesterday. It Is to be hoped
that hiB innocence will be proven as
easily as he asserts it himself.
From Friday’s EVXNINO HKHALI).
News of a horrible accident, that oc
curred at Sumner yesterday, readied
the city through parties who came in
on the B. & W. freight, due in Albany
at 1 o’clock.
It was to the effect that two little
darkies had met death on a trestle lo
cated on the outskirts of Sumner, be
tween that station and Price’s Mill.
The two boys, Ed and Henry Gar
rett, aged, respectively, seven and ten
years, were supposed to be at school,
but had played truant, spending the
day in the woods. Freight train No. 6
passed Sumner without stopping, blew
the signal whistle and dashed into a
curve, at the further end of which the
trestle was sltunted. Engineer Sav
age, as soon as lie saw tile hoys, re
versed his engine, and blew for brakes,
as fear seemed to have paralyzed the
functions of the Imperiled youths.
The trestle was only about eight feet
high, nnd a jump would lioVe averted
the terrible ucoldent that occurred.
When the engine struck them, it
knocked the older of the b”ys into
eternity instantly, and broke a thigh
and leg, and crushed the skull of the
other. As soon as the train could be
stopped, a physician was called who
did what he cuuld to alleviate the suf
ferings of the living child, and it is
thought that he will recover.
Those who saw the aooldent say
that no blame can be attached to En
gineer Savage and Conductor Robin
son, who could nut possibly have
avoided the killing.

and jailed him on a warrant aworn nut
by Mr. A. P. Vason.
Madison and Sam Coleman are ten
ants and neighbors oil Mr. Vason’a

understanding and dispute over the
ownership of a plow-stock. Recently,
things gtew red lint between the two
Colemans, and last night trouble
brewed on the farm.
1^118 morning, ear’y, both the men
were out, Sam on the dodge, and
Madison with a shot gun In his hands.
Finally, they name together, and,with
out parleying the gun was brought
into requisition, and two loads of bird
shot were sent Inward Sain, but with
out taking effect, owing t» the faulty
aim uf the i miner, made so by the un
certain light of early morning.
Sam came to town, told his tale
of woe, and by noon Madison occupied
a oell in jail.
Tub New York Herald publishes a
long editorial about the “promising”
outlook for the Negro race in the
United States, and,ammigutberthing*
says that this country furnishes them
with a good chance in the race for suc
cess. The prejudice against color is
rapidly dying out in the North, where
It was always more intense than n the

Archbishop Satolli’s most important
•rrand has been to settlo the bunted con
troversies raging about tho school ques
tion. Ho has communicated to tho Cath
olic arc bishops nil eminently wise and
reasonable pronunciamento. It distinct
ly acknowledges tho educational func
tions of tho state and upproves the Amer
ican public schools, In practical effort
this lettor makes it permissible for Cath
olic parents to act upon their own judg
ment in selecting scliopls for their chil
dren. It merely insists that the parents
and priests should see that Catholic chil
dren have regular religious instruction
outside of school honrs if they attend
public schools. Tho “Furibault plan” h-
fully sanctioned us an alternative. In
casi'3 '-here parochial schools of us good
quality us the public .schools can bo af
forded, and where local circumstances
make it uppear that the public sohooli
are anti-Crtholio in their influence mid
teaching, the separate system is advised.
The archbishop has spoken with full
authority. It is a grout victory for Arch
bishop Ireland and tho patriotic Ameri
can wing of the church. Pope Leo and his
ad visors have evidently mastered the real
situation in the United States. The holy
see has intervened in favor of American
Catholic parents, who can no longer he
restrained from sending their children to
thu public schools. Tho Catholic church
will be stronger by far when, in tho spirit
of Archbishop Satulli’e statesmanlike ad
dress, it accepts the institutions of this
oountry.—W. T. Stead in Review of Re
views.
Cremation In Thli Country*
It is not every day that there an flv*
cases of cremation at Fresh Pond, but
the bodies of four men and one woman
were reduced to ashes in the furnace
there on Tuesday. The revival of the
ancient practico of cremation in our
times is a curious thing. We have not
yet seen tho lost year’s reports of the
several crematories in the country, but
we believe that over 100 dead persons
were consumed in them during the year.
Nearly all of these persons, with the
exception of the victims of cholera,
who were cremated in our boy lost
autumn, had left orders or had express-

United States Murslial Thomas carried
W. R. Jackson and Ed. Wyatt to Ma

The proof against them is conclusive,
as the city police searched Jaokson’s
house yesterday morning and found
the moulds and seventeen of.the coun

about thirty dollars, series 1880, in cir

From parties from Mitchell county,
who were in the city to-day, it was
learned that the rain and wind storm
of Wednesday night did considerable
damage in thatsection.
On Mr. ,M. P. Callaway’s plantation
a quantity of fencing and several
shanties were blown down, but no
lives were lost.
The greatest damage, probably, was
that done to the crops, especially in
the bottom lands and on the hill-sides.
The downpour of rain was so terrific
that most of the growing cereal and
seed in the ground were washed- up,
which will necessitate re-planting

“How’s the country?” asked a Her
ald reporter of one of the lending
warehouse and commission merchants
of the city, thiaj morning.
“Do you mean the country round
about here—the farmers?”
“Yes.”
“Well, upon the whole,” replied the
man of business, “I think our farmers
are in better condition than they have
been for some time. In the first place,
they have less to buy. The sales of
meat, for instance, have been very
light up to date this year. All the
farmers of this region made some
meat last year, an.d many of them saved
enough to run them through the year.
This is quite a fortunate thing for
them, too, as the prices of meat range
so much higher this year than last.
How about other supplies and
acceptances?” inquired tile scribe.
“Comparatively speaking, the farm
ers are buying but little, so far this
year, in the way of provisions of any
kind; and the acceptance business ia
very much lighter. We have very little
call for acceptance on accounts with
merchants now, and the principal busi
ness done in this lino is for horses and
mules bought by farmers. Now and
then a farmer comes in and wants
warehouse acceptance, but alt this sort
of business has fallen off very per
ceptibly.”
“Then you think that, upon the
whole, the farmers of this section are
in better condition than they have
been for some time?”
“Decidedly so. They are buying less
and will, in consequence, owe less at
the end of the year.”

bany Saturday afternoon from Macon, ed a desire that their bodies should he

The readers of the Herald are
familiar with the circumstances sur
rounding this peculiar murder case.
How the two Kearce Negroes killed
an old darky in Worth oounty nearly
a decade ago, and could not get a final
trial on account of the absence of an
important witness. That witness wa>
captured a short time ago, he having
been spirited away by the friends ol
the Kearce Negroes.
It is very likely that the trial of the
two murderers in Worth Superior
Court this week will attract a large
crowd. Considerable interest is manl-
courso cremation could not interfere
with any design of tho Almighty.
Wo know of two crematories in Eng
land, and there ure others in aoveral of
the countries of continental Europe.
Should tho cholera break out in England
this year it is probable that a number of
the municipalities will, in accordance
with advice given by their health au
thorities, follow the example set by the

For years the question whether
water wheels run faster nt- night
than during the day lias been cata
logued among the things which no
man can find out.
They do if they are so geared ns to
be affected by the varying fullness
and speed of the current in which
they are But. There is no doubt that
all streams aro fuller and all streams
carry more water nt midnight than
they do at noon. In the first placo,
tho increased coolness of the air pre
vents evaporation and subsequent
drying up of tho smaller tributaries,
and, in the second plto-e, thecondensa-
tion of the moisturo in the air in the
shape of dew is always sufficient to
add something to large streams nnd
their branches. Heavy dews are often
so copious as to lie almost equal to n
small shower of rain. We often lion '
dewdrops falling from the overloaded
leaves and find all exposed objects an
wet as if they lmd undegonnu shower
during the night- A large portion of
this moisturo must ge* into the mi
nute channels, which of course cou
duet it to mill streams.
"Often,” says Humboldt, “the ef
fect upon a shallow stream is very
noticeable indeed." If it is at all
"noticeable," a wheel turned by such
a stream would "go foster by night
than by day. ’’— Indianapolis News.
The Feast of St. Barbara.
The feast of St Barbara, like that
of St Martin, is a soldiers' fete in
Italjr. The heroic girl, if we may
believe an old Htory of the tenth cen
tury, was an angel of beauty and vir
tue, born in a fortress where her
father, Dioscoro, was the governor
and also aid-de-camp to the emperor,
Maximilian. St Barbara first saw
the light in Italy in her father's beau
tiful villa near Scandriglia, a gift
from the emperor to his general, rich
with mineral waters, marvelous
plants, statues, etc., where she passed
the first few years of her life, and
where she became a convert to the
Christian religion. *
The beautiful girl was hunted to
death, taken prisoner, her breasts
were cut off, and Bhe was exposed to
brutal soldiers, who took possession
of her, fastened her to a stake, covered
her with quicklime and burned her
to death, and this she suffered rather
than renounce the religion she had

Those who mistake the flour of dirt
for a natural characteristic of flour
are not likely to be safe guides in
anything relating to flour. Unrefined
sugar is noted for its "flavor," bpt
tho flavor is merely the dirt or extra
neous matter in the sugar. So it is
with unrefined flour. The stalk of
the wheat' is quite as digestible as
the bran and is quite similar in com
position. The bran faddists ought to
insist oh smashing bran, awns and
stems all at once into meal. Titen
they would have a meal in which
nothin'g is wasted—except ■ the con
sumer. The consumer should bo
guided by experience. If bran agrees
with him, .ho is right in eating it. If
it disagrees with bun, he is right in
refusing to eat it The moralizers
who are trying tp make out ■ that the
millers are dpipg a great wrong, in
making pure flour have everything
