THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION: ATLANTA. GA.. TUESDAY, APRIL 6. 18P0.
Cl ic ^onstihifion.
ATLANTA. tUA., APRIL «. 1*».
800NDAE00T IK GEORGIA.
—The Irwin county roan who killed
eight wild turkeys at one shot haa been in
terviewed by the Berrien County Newt.
—Augusta Near*: Occasionally we are
almost ted to believe that Georgia contains
the richest deposits of gold of any n> it on
the face of the earth. All around 11% in
the mountain district.*, the precious metal
la being picked up on the surface, in
branches', on the hillsides and in iact, in the
xiios 1 out of the way places imaginable.
Only last week, n young Mr. Long, of Gil
mer county, while our working, stopped at
a small branch to wash bis hands. While
doing so he scooped up some sand and
gravel with the water, when he noticed a
bright, yellow lump of something that at
tracted his atien'ion. Patting si in his
pocket, he continued bis bath, and in doing
so, picker] up several other luni|« of the yel
low stuff he had firet noticed and put in bis
pocket. After going to his home, he ex-
Jiibited his finding-, which proved to be
pure gold in lumps weighing from two to
three grains each. This is not the first gold
found at this place, and it had evidently
drifted from a deposit further up the hill.
Gilmer county, as must all the other coun
ties In upper Geotgia, contains, no doubt,
untold wealth in gold, to say nothing of
other precious metals which will certainly
be developed at no distant day.
—ValdoHa Times: On Saturday night,
the J3fb inttant, a parry of yrung men near
Nhinunyville, in the northeast center of
this county, obtained some bad whisky
from a groegery, and with the poison de
throned their reason to such a shocking
extent as to precipitate a deadly affray, in
which a thirteen-year old boy named Keene
was stabbed in the back, the knife blade
breaking off in the back-bone, from which
he died last Tuesday morning. Frank Al
len was arrested, being in the party, but we
learn upon the evidence submitted before
an inquest, he was released, and tbe crime
charged to Bawls Goolsby—two parties
swearing they saw him plunge the fatal
blade. He hail not been arrests at
last accounts. This is the report that comes
tous. Whether it be true i.r not, to the
letter one tiling is certain: Keene was
killed and whisky was at the bottom of it.
It in high time these roadside (ptfalls were
abolished from the land. This is the second
serious affair in that neightiorboud, since
liquor has been sold there, and the people
ought to riseen masse, under the local option
law, and put it down. The stuff ought not
to be sold outside of the restraining limits
of an incorporated.community, where lives
can be protected.
—Gritfiin News: On the 21st of February
last a farmer applied for guano to Captain
IVden, who is superintending the sale of
5 uanoai Mr. 8 K. Dick's guano warehouse,
he farmer gave his name as .famen Vaden,
and made such a Hatif fact lory representa
tion to Captain I*e len that the guano was
sold him. He carried 10 sacks that
day, and on February 23d returned and
carried away 12 sacks. He gave his
note for the guano, signing the note James
Craven. After he had been gone a day or
two. Captain Peden and Mr. Dick suspected
that the man had given a false account of
himself, and had swindled them out of the
guar.o. A slight investigation assured oth
ers of this fact, as there was no auch mar
to be found in the place where he claimed to
live, nordid anybody know him. The
sit placed in the hands of Sheriff 1
and Mr. Branch Bowdoin, who is one of the
bent detectives of the state. These gentle
men set out at once, by the methods known
to detectives, to find the party. They had
no trace of the man, not even a reliable
description. They worked patiently and
shrewdly, until last Saturday they found the
roan on the plantation of Percival Caracter,
in Pike county. They dhpoaadof theguauo
to the parlies who had it in possession,
and brought the thief, whose real name is
Craven, to Griffin, and lodged him in jail
He has keen bound over to the superior
court, and as he is unable togivebonu, w
stay in jail until that time. It was a very
ingenious robbery, and much praise is due
the patient, skilful, shrewd work of Sheriff
Bridges and Mr. Branch Bowdoin in ferret

To hail tbe millennial day.
As Atlanta grows, her manufacturing en
terprises increase in number very rapidly.
Every year brings with it the establishment
of a score of use'ui industries in our midst.
A few years since tbe manufacturing inter
ests ot the city were scarcely worth
tioning. Now she i3 being classed among
tbe leading manufacturing cities of the
south. It all of the enterprises of this char
acter were located in one quarter of the city
a line showing would be presented. Goods
of all classes and to suit all kinds of trade
are being manufactured in large quantities
A good many of these enterprises have n)
competition in this section, consequently
sales can always be had for the class of
goods made by them. These factories give
employment to thousands of hands tha*
without them would be unemployed. Ex
perienced labor in all classes of work is
comparatively easy to be had, except per
haps in the case of the Atlanta cotton fac
tory, which for some time past has been
running short-handed. Recently, however,
Mr Kimball has succeeded in procuring
more h»lp and is now feeling quite hopeful
of getting at an early day all of the hands
that he needs. His factory is running on
full time, having two sets of hand*, one-
half of them being on duty during the day
and the other at nights «
Many of tbe merchants and storekeepers
of the city employ scores of lady clerks,
who make a profitable living behind the
counter doing such work as are fitted for
them. We have carefully hunted up all of
the enterprises of a manufacturing charac
ter in Hie city and give them below, show
ing the number of children, male adults
and female adults employed in this way.
Frequently a rush of trade compels tiie
employment of an extra number of hands
in these enterprises and some
times it is found neces-
say to double the force. We may liav
made some omissions, as enterprises of this
character are springing up in the city daily
and get under full headway before it be
comes generally known that they exist.
The foil iwing statement of the enterprises
of this kind in the city, together with the
number of hands employed in each, will lie
of interest to those who fee! proud of At
lanta and her progress*venp**:

ThoOglethorpe University Fund.
As many' rumors have been cur-ent
reference to the funds of Oglethorpe uni
versit>% we have taken pains to ascertain
the truth, and now give the facts
ceived from the fii.ance committee of the
board of trustees.
After the suspension of the college, the
trustees lie came involved in litigation with
the city touching the college buildings,
new hoard of trustees was apjNiinteu
which Mr S. D. McConnell was a member
and he was made treasurer. As the repre
sentative of the trustees, Ue effected a com
promise of the litigation, by which the
property was sold and the proceed* divided
pro rata between the city, the trustees and
those citizens of Atlanta w ho had made do
nations to the college. By tliiscomproini:
there came into his hands as treasurer
nearly $5,000. that was gathered from the
wreck of the institution. By injudiciou:
management this fund was lost. This fact
he communicated to the trustees and
the fifth of March lie made a settlement
witn them, by which it is believed that
the full amount of the fund with interest,
will be saved to 4he board. We give the
following statement furnished by the com
mittee appointed .by the trustees to make
the settlement:
Atlanta, March 31, IS O.—The undersigned,
committee of the board of trustee* of Ogiethoroe

Connell, former treasurer of the board, for funds
belonging to it'ln hi* hands as treasurer aud lost
by him, have nfade that settlement.
This settlement was made under the direction
of the board of trustees after a full investigation

London, March 29.—Parnell, attempting
to address an election meeting Saturday,
was received with yells, groan* and a dis
charge of rotten eggs. He gave up the at
tempt to speak. He was hit in the face by
an orange, caught around the waist and
nearly hurled from the platform.
Enniscortiiy, March 29—The cause of
the riot here Saturday was as follows:
Chevalier O’Cienr, member for the county
of Wexford in the late parliament, seeks
re election a* home ruler, while Parnell has
no.nv aud two other candidates as obstruc-
* onists, one of whom is very unpopular,
revalier O’Clery’s party, some 10.000

’hen Parnell arrived, accompanied bv
1 embers of the Enniscortiiy club, he at
tempted to get on the platform, and was re
ceived with shout* of “No dictation.” His
friends were attacked, beaten and thrown
down, several with bleeding heads. A body
of armed police was drawn up near the
platform, and had the Parnell party been
numerous, the list of casualties would have
been very large.
A Horrible Tinged j.
Newdern. N €., March 30.—An account
a most horrible tragedy, which occurred
Onslow county a few days ago, lias just
reached this city. A man who had been
considered a lunatic, but whose lunacy was
of such mild type that heretofore he has
been inoffensive, went to the farm house of
Mr. Rhodes and a^ked that gentleman to
assist him in grinding a knife. Mr. Rhodes
was busy ot the time and could not give his
attention to the lunatic, whereupon the
lunatic rushed upon him and with the
knife cut a deep gash from his neck all the
way down the hack. Mr. Rhodes immedi
ately turned upon his crazy assailant, when
the lunatic commenced cutting him in the
face and breast. The loss of blood and
pains from his many wound* caused Mr.
Rhode* to fall. but. iu doing so he called a
negro boy to hi* assistance. The boy
came up with a pitchfork in
his hand, and the lunal<c. turning
his attention from the wounded man,
rushed upon the lad. wrenching the pitch-
fork from his hand* and plunging the
prongs entirely through hi* body,
then again assailed the wounded man
his knife, and was continuing to cut and
slash his body, when Mrs. Rhodes rushed
out. The lunatic picked up the pitch
fork and made a dash for her. when Mr.
Rhodes called to the wound* d boy t*
bring him his gun The gun was handed
him and he discharged a heavy charge
