Columbus Ledger: There has been a
deal of spurious coin circulating in the
clly for the past few days and so skill
fully have the counterfeiters created their
worthless money and so exact is their coin
a facsimile of the dollar, that some of the
good people of Columbus have been com
pletely duped. The money is an exact fac
simile of the silver dollar and nickel,
every mark, every feature; the eagle, the
Columbian head, the letters, date and even
the arrow heads being fully brought out.
It is a composition of lead and tin, and
except for the dull luster and ring would
never be taken for anything but "sound
money."
AK IMPOSTOR IK THE PITEPIT.
Last week an evangelist by the name
of J. M P. Simer arrived in Ellijay, hav
ing come with his bride of three weeks
from Ducktown. Tenn., where, according
to his statements, he hod been conducting
a successful rival. He claimed to be a
Baptist minister, but as a protracted
meeting was going on at the Methodist
Church when he arrived, he was allowed
to preach first in that church. Afterward
the services were changed to the Baptist
Church, Tuesday night, just before the
minister rose to take his text, Rev. L. H.
Green, the Methodist minister, came for
ward and demanded the attention of the
audience for a few moments. He pro
duced two letters from Sewanee, Tenn.,
and read them to the audlencte. The let
ters set forth In forcible terms that Sim
er was a notorious impostor, specifying
several crimes he had committed. The
audience was horrified. The preacher pro
tested his innocence nnd wanted to go on
and preach, but was refused the pulpit.
The audience immediately dispersed, and
the preacher was placed under arrest.

sharpest rivalry between companies A and
B for the gold medal awarded at each

DIED FROM POISOKED WHISKY.
Jabez Johnson, a well known negro of
Madison county, is dead from the effects
of poison and the sheriff of the county
has In his pocket warrants for two young
men, both well known, charging them
with the negro's death. Johnson was at
the home of Sillie Neal, a negro woman,
when two white men came up and called
him to them. Soon after leaving the
house he returned, asking for salt water
to make him vomit, saying that he had
been poisoned and would die. He was
helped into the house, when he began to
have spasms. Before dying, Johnson said
It was two white men, John Bragg nnd
Dock Moon, who had called him out. They
asked him to take a drink. Moon offering
him a bottle. He took it and drank from
It. This, he said, was good whisky. Soon
Bragg offered him another bottle and he
drank from it. He soys this stuff was
mean and bitter and that he began to feel
the effects at once when he started to the
house. Johnson lived about two hours,
having spasms until he died. Dr. G. T.
Ridgway of Roysten. took out Johnson's
stoma,<h and carried it away. The cor
oner’s Jury returned a verdict that the
negro tame to his death from poison; that
it was murder, and charged John Rogg
and Dock Moon with the crime. The cor
oner issued warrants for their arrest and
placed them In the officer's hand.
FLORIDA.
St. Augustine Record: St. Francis Bar
racks is now in perfect order and ready
for occupancy, which gives rise to the
hope that the post here will soon be oc
cupied again. There is every reason to
believe that quarters here will be re
quired before the summer advances much
further. Some time ago Congressman
Davis was assured by the War Depart
ment that Bt. Francis barracks was not
abandoned, and would be occupied again
shortly.
LIGHTNING DIDN'T KIM. IIKR.
Gainesville Sun: Tuesday afternoon,
during the thunderstorm. Lavlnia Sims,
a colored woman who resides in the Frog
Alley district, while walking along the
street, was struck by lightning, from the
effects of which she came very near bid
ding this world adieu. The heavy bolt
struck the womnn between the shoulder
blades, knocking her fifteen or twenty
feet. from which she was rendered uncon
scious. She whs picked up by a man who
happened to be passing, who recognlztwl
her. and with the assistance of others
took her to her home. E>r. R. B. Ayer was
summoned immediately, and after consid
erable work succeeded in bringing her
beyond the danger point.
IRON SAFES PROVED NO GOOD.
Jacksonville Metropolis: If there is one
thing more than another at a discount
to-day in Jacksonville it is iron safes. The
Are of last week has conclusively proven
that they are untrustworthy, as countless
valuable papers svere lost In them. This
is in contrast with the bank vnutta here,
which were subjected to greater heat
than the safes, and they proved absolutely
secure in every Instance, and we mention
this with pride from the fact that these
vaults were constructed by Jacksonville
mechanics after their own plans and
Ideas. They are not only burglar but Are
proof. Fate after safe has been opened
here this week, and with very few ex
ceptions their contents were destroyed
Some of the coin in them was melted out
of shape.
A SITiriDE’S STRANGE RRQtBST.
F. J. La Penotlere, a well-known lawyer
of Tampa, whose suicide Monday was
announced in the Morning News' dls-
patches, was a very eccentric man.though
a favorite with all who knew him. In
a note discovered after his death he
leaves all his property to hts house
keeper and directs her to dispose of his
remains according to his request. He says:
"I would prefer to have my body placed
in the center of a cord of wood and
burned; or that It be wrapped In a
blanket and thrown Into the sea. If
thought best, however, let my remains
be buried; but I want none of those hu
man vultures—undertakers —to have any
thing to do with it. nor any mummeries
of religion.” The wishes of the deceased
were disregarded, however, and his re
mains were turned over to an undertaker.

HOW I CURE STRICTURE.
Every man should acquaint himeelf with my Improved method of curing Stric
ture. This painful disease Is more serious than 1* generally believe*, because It
t leads to complication* Involving the most delicate or
gans of the body. It matters not how many doctors
have treated you In vain, I can cure you, and cure
you permanently. By my original method I complete
ly dissolve the stricture and remove every obstruc
tion. Ido no cutting; my treatment Is painless and
causes no detention from business. All inflammation
Is allayed and no symptom remains.
Mr. J. T. Wicker of Grange, Ga., writes: "I am
delighted with your treatment for Stricture. which
disease has bothered me for year*. I tried In vain
many advertised romedie, and was In bad shape
when 1 placed my case In your hands. Your home
treatment has cured me in two months, and I take
pleasure In commending your skill."
Those afflicted with Stricture or Varicocele should
beware of the many ready made, quick cure* so
extensively advertised. Your condition needs apecial
attention, and experiments often result In permanent injury. I give each case c*ws
ful study and prepare treatment specially to meet all symptoms. I have cured
more cases than any other physician In the United States, and my method of
treatment has been given the severest test. I can cure you in the shortest time
consistent with medical science, but I never claim to make Immediate cures, be
cause the after-effects of such treatment are always more damaging than bene
ficial
I charge nothing for consultation and advice. Send for self-examination
blanks, explaining my perfect system of home treatment. My specially also In
cludes all other chronic and private diseases. s.uch as loss of manly vigor or pra
mature decline, blood poison, skin diseat'*, bladder and urinary complaints, etc.

—"There is.” says the Kansas City
Journal, "one sure barometer of finan
cial conditions In Kansas. Whenever the
people feel rich they get up schemes to
bore In the ground after oil or gas. or
other valuable productions. This pro
pensity has given Kansas some very val
uable coal, gas, oil and salt fields, and
It is to be encouraged, not deplored. To
day something like fifty towns are boring
holes In the ground. At one place out
In Western Kansas they are down to 2.000
feet, and still are cheerfully chugging
away. At Abilene $3.0(0 ha* Just been
raised by popular subscription for the
purpose of boring, and the work is to
be started at once. In Hutchinson anew
salt well Is going down at the rate of
200 feet a day, and it is to have around
it the biggest salt plant In the state. In
Southern Kansas derricks are as thick
as haystacks, and they are finding things,
too."
—Thomas Sidney Cooper Is said to he
the oldest painter actively engaged In the
pursuit of his art. He Is now 89 years old,
and as early as 1820 was making a living
as a theatrical scone painter. Since then

MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
Local and General Kcws of Ships
nnd Shipping:.
The harbor presented a quiet appearance
yesterday. There were no foreign arri
vals, and also little shifting of vessels in
port. There are no eveSels loading cotton
except at the Union Shipping Company’s
wharves across the river.
A small sloop yacht arrived late yester
day afternoon by the Inland route from
'Charleston, and tied up at Taggart’s dock,
foot of East Broad street.
The Clyde Line steamship Arapahoe,
destined for service between New York
and the South, will be launched at
Cramps’ shipyard to-morrow. The new
craft is Intended for both passenger and
freight service. She is a sister ship of
the Apache, launched several weeks ago.
The new vessel is 303 feet long, 46 feet
beam and 30 feet depth of hold, with a
cargo carrying capacity of 3,000 tons. She
will be lighted with electricity, and will
have accommodations for 200 passengers.
A dispatch states that Capt. Skillings, of
the steamship Alliance, claims he did not
promise Capt, Rodgers, of the schooner
Emma C. Knowles, wrecked off Atlantic
City several weeks ago, to tow that vessel
to Sandy Hook. The Knowies was in col
lision with the Alliance on April 23 In a fog
off Atlantic City. "The captain and crew
abandoned the Knowles and came on
board my vessel,” said Capt. Skillings,
"and as far as they were concerned had
nothing lo soy what should be done. No
understanding was entered into with the
Knowles' captain. However, I stood by
the wreck all night with the intention of
making an examination of its condition,
and, should the weather permit, tow her
in. After daylight, finding the wreck
listed and the weather stormy, I proceed
ed. When Capt. Rodgers abandoned his
vessel he lost all right and Interest in her,
and, had I towed the wreck into port, my
vessel would have been entitled to sal
vage. My owners' interests, however,
with the immense value of cargo on board,
compelled me to care for my own vessel's
safety.”
