exposition.
Yesterday was Cincinnati tiny???the forerunner of
other Mg day* in the exposition's history. The ex
cursionist* came to spend n day with us. They
wanted to peep in and then go home to come again
when they eould stay longer. They met us when
we hud bnicitig uir???jnst cool enough to
lie pleasant. They found us with
ample accommodations for their com
fort. They took a sweeping look at our city and
exposition mid to-day they mako their fourteen-
hour trip und land at home ugain. What they will
say when they get home we will havo to wait for.
Certain it is they have seen nothing cither in At
lanta or the exposltlou that we are not proud of.
They have not found ns napping, but they have
seen on every hand evidences of our thrift and
energy. They have seen iu Atlanta a
young Cincinnati, a city that comes nearer Wing a
counterpart of the queen city than any of her sis
ters of the south.
The excursionists were formally welcomed to !he
city at noon yesterday. They were met in judges
hall by theexecufivc committee and officers of the
cotton exj>osition, and addresses of welcome deliv
ered and responded to. No belter evidence of the
tapidily with which Atlanta is doing things now
could he given than iu the manner iu which
judges hall was arnmged yesterday. Five minute
lie fore twelve o'clock a representative of Tut: Con
stitution stepped into the hall. There was not a
seat to be seen. He walked down to the main
building and back, and, although he was not gone
more than ten minutes he found on his return the
room filled with nice sent*, a neatly ariangcd ros
trum and the hull rapidly filling with people,while
the Fifth artillery bond made soul-stirring music
for the gathering crowds. When the meeting was
called to order by Director-General Kimball there
were upon the rostrum a number of distinguished
citizens of Georgia and Cincinnati. Everything was
bright, cheery and hopeful. Thu excursionists
showed smiling laces and everything was glorious.
Director-General Kimball arose and said:
Ladles and Gentlemen: We are glad to see you
here, to greet and welcome you to our city. To you
people who are so accustomed to exjMisittons no ex
cuse, I trust, is necessary for our present incom-
liletem ss. Major Crane, president of the Atlanta
board i.f trade, and eliuirmuu pro tern, of thc'exec-
tilive committee of the cotton cx|>o*ition, will now
welcome you who come from Cinciuuuli and her
neighboring cities.???
Mr. Kimball resumed his sent amid applause,and
Major Crane art >se and spoke as follows:
??????Ladiesand gentlemen: Sitting yesterday after
noon in my office, immersed and worried with the
cares of a business somewhat extensive,
received a telephonic message stating
that I would he expected to wef
come to Atlanta the ladies and gentlemen compris
in'; the Cincinnati excursion. As you will discover
liefore 1 proceed very far public speaking is not my
forte. I deal with figures, I deal with articles of
trade, I deni with cotton bales, but in this city of
Atlanta, in this city where the best years of my life
have been spent. I would feel that I was recreant
to Atlanta, recreant to the merchants I represent,
did I fall to respond at any time to any call that
they might make. The duty of welcoming to Atlanta
the jicople of Cincinnati is to me a most pleasant
one. Some of the sweetest recollections of my life
cluster around Cincinnati. I have some of the
dearest friends there, i have received from that
people naught hut kindness. The first courtesies
that I received after the war when I had followed
tlie fortunes of Lee were from the federal officers
in Cincinnati, and I can hut recollect those
events with pleasure, lienee if I can do anything
to impress upon you the fact that you are heartily
welcome lo Atlanta 1 shall feel happy. 1 regret that
1 can find no language rich enough to express to
yon the heartiners of that welcome. We ore living
here in a new city. Whirl you have seen is the
growth of sixteen years. Whatever we have of ma
terial prosperity has been built up within these six
teen years. As a loyal citizen of Atlanta I urn
proud of wlmt she has done; at; a citizen of Georgia
1 am proud of Georgia???s greatness. I am proud of
her past record. 1 am proud of her present achieve
ment*. 1 want to award to yon citizens of Ciu-
rinnoti the same measure of pride in your
i-ilv. Yon ought lo lie and you are
prond of Cincinnati for I never saw a Cincinnati
man who was not looking around somewhere to
see what he could find about or from Cincinnati.
It is a proper pride. You are proud of your grand
state of Ohio, that slate which is the daughter of
Virginia. Virginia 1ms been called the mother of
presidents and statesmen. She is probably the
mother of them, but to-day lu-r daughter Ohio is a
chip of the same block, and her statesmen illustrate
our national matters mid her statesmen
represents them them grandly. I want
yon to cultivate that pride of your city
imfl state and I want yon to accord the same to us.
Let ns cultivate the same pride for your section
and for ours. I want to look over this country and
find iu every man a love for his section and
state but as I look I want to see the devotion to the
sections end states unite into a common devotion
to a common country. [Applause.] I thank you,
ladies and gentlemen, for having listened to me
with so much attention and 1 can only repeat that
we welcome you to our hearts and homes. ??? We
trust vour visit has been and will be pleasant and
that you will carry back naught but pleasant
reminiscences.
The.speech was closed amid much applause.
lion. James E. Boynton, president of the senate
of Georgia, was introduced and spoke as follows:
??????Citizens of Ohio: Georgia welcomes yon with
open hearts to this exposition, not only to the ex
position but to her homes. We would know-
more of vou and have you know more of Georgia,
because the interests of Georgia and Ohio are con
nected. We are oouuected not only by interests,
but by mil connections that ought to make us one
in the grand effort to advance the cause of our
countrv. i thio, one of the richest, and wisest, and
greatest of the western suites, comes here to Georgia.
Mho comes to our exposition, and we hope it is
worthy of her. I hope you will remain with us
long enough to see that Georgia welcomes you with
open arms. We would know each other better,
unite more harmoniously and work together in a
common purpose for the good of our whine country.
I fear that Virginia's claims to the title of mother of
statesmen has been taken from her. for we have
looked with pleasure toward Ohiowhohns furnished
lis with statesmen w orthy of highest commendation.
We unite w ith von in mourning the death of your
distinruslu-d citizen in whom we all fell a common
interest. I.el that mutual sorrow join ns more close
ly. Georgia to-day would welcome you. Georgia
would have yon to hi* united with her more closely
than in the past. I-auies and gentlemen, I cordially,
heartily welcome you to Georgia.???
At the close of Colonel Boynton???s address, Mr. J
F. Blackburn, of Cincinnati, was introduced and
spoke as follows, us a representative of the excur
sionists:
"Mr. Chairman, ladies and gentlemen: Wo are
glad to hear your words of welcome. Had we ex
pevted to l*c -welcomed othqrarise we would not
nave been here. The warmtlWif the
i reception has,
however, taken us by surprise. Wc are but mer
chants. manufacturers and capitalists. We have no
representative of the talking professions with us.
am at a loss to know who will
*j>eak for us. Speaking for Cin-
Cincinnati. 1 can only snv that she has demonstrat
ed Iter anxiety to establish friendly relations with
the smith, tie have bridged rivets,crossed ravines,
tunnelled mountains and laid an iron band be-
weon us. One that ought to have enabled us to
reach vou within fourteen hours, but we did not do
I owing to an accident. It was not the managers
fault, however. 1 will simply ask Mr. Dalton, one
of our party, to see if he can respond to your cor
dial welcome.???
Mr. James Dalton, of Cincinnati, the* arose and
said:
"Mr. Chairman anil Gentlemen of the Exposition
Ladies and Gentlemen: 1 was not aware that]
would l??e called upon to sav a word on this occasion
1 can only say on liehalf of the delegation that rep
resents our state and city, we are glad to meet you.
We are glad to be here and near your words
of welcome and greeting. As my friend Crane said
that he was not lathe habit of making speeches I cun
correspond bv saying that I am not tn the habit of
making responses. But it makes me happy to be
able to make a response to Major Crane. This is my
first visit to Atlanta, the first glimpse I ever had
of the great state of Georgia, and as we came over
the beautiful valley between Chattanooga and here
t seemed tome it was a l>ed of flowers, being igno
rant that 1 was looking upon the fields of white
cotton. I only hope to be able to take one of the
bonnets with nie when 1 go back to Cincinnati. IVo
have come here to your own grand exposition,
grand in its conception, and will tie glorious in its
success. You have evidenced by this, by the ma-
chlnery, bv the products of agriculture, by the
mineral wealth displayed Unit Georgia is
one of the great states of this great country. We
feel that wc are one great people. Wc felt when we
started the Southern road Unit we would bind At
lanta to us by the tightest bauds, and when we
completed the road we had done so. Like Atlanta,
the citv of Cincinnati is a commercial city, an in
land citv. We have one common interest with you
???we want vour cotton and we will give yon our
machinery for it. In reply to what my fricmT
Crane said about the Cincinnati man who is always
looking for something from Cincinnati. I can say
that we hiree been losing some of our sons, and I
think some of you in Georgia have been gathering
them. When you come to Cincinnati
vou may find some of your girls there. Gentlemen,
allow me to express our heartfelt thanks to you for
your greeting and welcome, and I* can only say in
return, our heart* and homes are open to receive
vou at anv time that you will visit Cincinnati.???
At the close of Mr. Dalton's address Director-Gen
eral Kimball arose and made a brief speech, refer
ring to the heartiness with which Cincinnati took
hold of the exposition and aided in pushing it for
ward to success. At the close of his remarks the
assemblage adjourned to the building, where, un
der the guidance of the executive committee and
officers of the exposition, the visitors inspected the
attractions as the exposition.
Mr. John K. Green was expected to make the
response to the address of welcome but was called
to < Ttattanooga early vestorduy morning and could
not remain with the party.
Mr. Blackburn who took his place Is secretary of
the Cincinnati board of trade.
The excursionist* will leave forborne on a special
train at nine o???clock to-dayj A few of the party
left yesterday afternoon.
Foreign Fabric*.
A fine collection of Chinese anil Japanese fabrics
have been forwarded through the state department
at Washington, and are now arriving. The collec
tion embraces every variety of hand-made eloths
and clothing. The goods will be placed in position,
and with some European hand and machine made
goods will form an exceedingly attractive display.
The I???rr-i Pavilion.
Oil yesterday the press pavilion was decorated
inside and the finishing touches given it. It is
supplied with desks, chairs, writing material, and
is a cozy place for the newspaper men. From the
center hang* in graceful folds alnitcd States flag
surrounded by the flags of England, France, Italy
and Mexico. The flag, of fourteen other nations
a e suspended front the ceiling. Festoons of red,
white and blue bunting ornament the room and
are aided by a profusion ol papio-flora. Two flags
are hung above the door, and directly under them
is a monogram, ???P P," for press pavilion. The
room presents an exceedingly cheerful appearance,
and the press will doubtless fully appreciate the
efforts to please.
The Special Weekly Exhibit*.
A FINK l.IST OF ATTRACTIONS FOR T1IE-COMING WEEKS.
The first of the series of special weekly exhibits
will open next Tuesday and close the Saturday
following. There are to be six of these exhibits, the
last closing on the third of December. The first is a
display of fruits, flowers and ornamental plants,
and will be very attractive. It will embrace
grapes, stone fruits and pomaceous fruit*, berries,
nuts, tropical fruit*, preserves, jellies, dried fruits,
canned fruit*, wines, vinegars and ornamental
plants and flowers. On Wednesday a special dis
play of cut flowers and design* will be made. Tlie
,jj.pl \y will be in the judges??? hall and will be made
in connection with the agricultural display, which
is in charge of Mr Henderson, state commissioner
of agriculture and chief of the department
of agriculture of the cotton exposition. The horti
cultural display Is in ch arge of Dr AL Kennedy
who has the management of the entire series of
special weekly exhibits. Mr Henderson is out of
the city but Colonel J S Newman is getting the agri
cultural display up for him. The agricultural dis
play at the State fair will be brought up and in a
day or two a circular will be issued to farmers for
specimens of agricultural products. The display
promises to be one of unusual interest. The State
roail has agreed to transport anything intended for
the agricultural exhibit free of charge. The South
ern express company through Mr Clayton, the su
perintendent. in Atlanta, has agreed to bring sam
ples not weighing more than live pounds, free of
charge. Those weighing more than five pounds
will be brought at two-thirds of the usual rates. Mr
Newman is making efforts to get the various rail
roads of tlie state to follow the example of the
Western and Atlantic railroad iu this matter and
transport free c.f charge products showing the re
sources of the state. All articles sent in for this
exhibit should be directed to Mr J T Henderson,
chief of the department of agri-
ultnre, Atlanta, Georgia. Mr Henderson is now at
Tate springs but will probably be at home to-mor
row, when he will busy himself in arranging the
agricultural exhibit. All tlie space necessary for
the exhibit is assured and every farmer in the state
is invited to send in something for it. Tlie horticul
tural display will be fine. Those of our citizens
who have flowers will be waited on by an employe
of the department, who will solicit contributions of
cut flowers and pot plants. The first of the series
of weekly exhibits is one in which Georgia has an
especial interest, and promises to be one that Geor
gians will not be ashamed of. On nceount of the
scarcity of space the cotton exhibit will be confined
vi samples in boxes, which will be in agricultural
hall.
Dr. Kennedy has been very energetic in getting
np|the series of weekly exhibits. The second, or
display of cattle and mules, will open on Tuesday,
November 1st, and close on the following Satur
day. The stalls will be overhauled and
put in trim order and a fine exhibit is expected
Some fine stock is expected, and a number of mules
and cattle have been entered from Kentucky, Vir
ginia, Tennessee anil other states.
The sheep and swine exhibit will open on Novem
ber S.lt, and hist until Saturday night. Good pre
miums have been offered, and some fine sheep,
goats and hogs are expected.
The dog show opens on the 15th of November,
and continues for the usual time. Special attrac
lions will be found in this display. It will embrace
the various breeds oi dogs under the fallowing
groups: Group 45, jiointcrs, setters and spaniels,
Group 4il, deer hounds, grey hounds, fox hounds,
beagles, and dachs hounds. Group 47, non-sporting
dogs.
Tho chicken show, wlii*h opens on the 22d of
November, will be especially tine. The coops will
be attractive, anil in competition for premiums the
American standard ol excellence will be the main
guide of the judges. A premium of 6100 is offered
for tlie best collection of pure bred poultry. Other
but smaller prizes are offered for the best of the dif-
fcrentjbreeds of Asiatic, Dorkings (including games)
Spanish, French, Polands, American, Hamburgs,
Bantams, Lingshaus, Russians, Sultans, Silkies
Rnmplees, Frizzles, Malays, Black Javos, Creepers,
and Capons, in chickens. In turkeys prizes are
offered for the best bronze, buff, white,
slote, blaek, and wild. Prizes are offered for
the best of the different breeds of Guinea
fowls, pea-fowls, pheasants, quails, geese, ducks,
swans and pigeons. Also, for the best pair of lop-
eared Angora and common rabbits and for the best
pair of ferrets.
The exhibits of dairy products opens on the 29th
of November, and will consist of a fine display of
butter and cheese Special premiums of $100 each
are offered for the best collection of foreign cheeses,
in ten varieties of styles, and for the best and most
artistically arranged collection of dairy products.
These prizes are in addition to numerous other
handsome prizes for dairy products.
This series of special exhibits must strike every
one as covering a number of attractions which can
not fail to please. Iu fact, a man may come now
visit the exposition every day until its close, and it
will present a new attraction on each visit, while the
old ones will never tire.
and there are enterprising men who are saving the
state from the stigma of sloth which the action of
the legislature would have left on her by a failure
to have any exhibit.
Dr Cary, superintendent of the Slate agricultu
ral fair, and Captain J S Newman, of the
agricultural bureau are hard at work to secure the
cream ol the exhibits at Macon, and to insure a full
display of the various resources of Georgia. Not
only in minerals but in agricultural products there
will be such a various aud beautiful display os will
be of great value to the slate, besides affording onc <
of the most beautiful features of the entire exposi
tion.
As soon as the Macon fair Is over the ship
ment of goods to Atlanta will be
gin at a rapid rate and there are already
arriving beautiful exhibits to go into the big show
Georgia will m ike.
Tha Governor of Connecticut.
Colonel Barrows has informed Mr. Allison, who is
now in charge of the Willimuntic display at the cot
ton exposition, that Governor Bigelow of Connecti
cut, left Yorktown on yesterday, and will go to
Charleston, South Carolina, by steamer, and hope
to reach there Sunday. It is the intention of the
governors' party to remain In Charleston one day,
and they will go from there to Augusta, Ga., and
after spending a day in that city the party will come
to Atlanta, arriving here on the 2tltli inst. Governor
Bigelow has about thirteen in his party, and while
In our city they will be the guest of the Willimantic
Linen company. This company has leased Judge
\V. 2. Woods elegant residence on Peachtree street,
and during Gov. Bigelows???s stay in the city attend
ing our exjKisition they will give an entertainment
in honor of his visit. The Willimantic company
have on foot next week some interesting work
illustrating the rapid work iu cotton goods. They
propose to take the cotton out of the field, spin,
dye, weave, cut and make a suit of clothes for Gov
ernor Bigelow, of Connecticut, aud Governor Col-
quit of Georgia, in one day. Mr. Allison was busy
yesterday preparing for the programme aud hopes
to be ready by the 27th instant.for this part of it.
???One of the most Interesting exhibits is the dis
play made by the Atchison, Topeka aud .Santa Fe
railroad. It is wonderful. Mr. John L. Treislow is
in charge of it. It is worth the price of admission
to sec it.

By Mail and Wire to The Constitution.
Loganville, October 19.???The serious mis
haps that have befallen our community with
in tlie past few weeks are quite remarkable.
Tlie first was the lamented Mrs. Stephenson,
whose wound was very similar to that of tlie
president, except, perhaps, more fatal, the
assassin shooting her in tlie left side with a
shotgun loaded witli rifle balls at close range.
She has just died after the terrible agony of
eight weeks??? suffering. A post mortem ex
amination by Drs. Mitchell and Winn show
ed that three balls passed through her body,
penetrating the spinal column, which the
physicians say most always produces instant
death. Tlie next was the attempted suicide of a
young Mr. Head, who lives near here. Mr
Head placed the muzzle of the shotgun under
h;s chin and pointed so as to range upward
through the first lobe of the brain but there
being only a small load of bird shot in the
gun it lodged in the roof of his mouth creat
ing a painful but not dangerous wound. Dr.
Mitchell was sent for and most of tlie shot
picked out. Tlie young man is now able to
be up and at his work. He says the cause
was trouble which he refuses to disclose. Tlie
next accident happened at this place. Young
Mr. Smith's hand was snatched between tlie
jaws of a 60 saw gin and before lie could re
lease himself the flesh was pulled from his
arm from the wrist to hisshoulder. Ourskill-
ful young physicians, Hammond and Coffee,
were quickly upon tlie scene and rendered
valuable aid in checking the profuse flow of
blood until Dr. Mitchell, of Lawrenceville,
ten miles from this place, was sent for. He
found amputation absolutely necessary. The
surgical skill of this operation by Dr" Mitch
ell is clearly shown by tlie rapid recovery of
the young man, who is now able to lie up.* It
is sad to think our promising fellow-towns
man will be compelled to wear an armless
sleeve during tlie rest of his life, though
Providence knows best. Another victim to
tlie cruel saw was Mr. Charley Cooper, a pros
perous farmer living a few miles above this
place. His arm was caught by the gin, saw
ing ids hand off at tlie wrist joint.
Dr. Mitchell was sent for and amputated his
arm below the elbow. All these sad accidents
happened in close succession. If this destruc
tion from the gins continues in our midst it
will,not be long till there will be more arm
less sleeves in our community from gins than
from northern guns.
Craw for i> vi i.le, October 21.???There are fur
ther developments in tlie Amos Ellington
murder, Sheriff Shirley, of Warren county,
yesterday arrested Aleck Stevens and Jeff
Adams and took them, under order from
Judge Pottle, to Warrenton. Sheriff Gooyer
carried Sang Armor to Augusta for safe keep
ing. Tite town is full of people who have
come to see the hanging. Much indignation
is expressed. In an interview with Hon.
James F. lteid, counsel for state, yes
terday, he said that there was
evidence sufficient to convict
Stevens and Adams. The citizens think that
taking the parties from Crawfordville was
unjustifiable. Our town was never before so
much excited as it is in regard to this affair.
It is said by some that two of our most prom
inent citizens will be arrested. That there is
something rotten about the whole tiling there
can be no doubt. Humor says that shortly
before his death Autos Ellington drew $1,500
from some source. Tlie motive for tlie
murder, it is claimed, was for tlie purpose of
robbery. The one thousand and five hundred
dollars was never accounted for. It is also
claimed that Sang Armor itad no reason for
killing Mr. Ellington outside of the fact that
lie was bribed to do it. What became of the
money is a mystery. It is asserted that Judge
Pottle would never have applied for a respite
unless there Was some solid evidence. The
detectives who have worked the ease up are
very reticent. They only assert that in a
short while some developments will be made
that will astonish the people. Will keep you
informed of ail changes or new particulars.
Judge Pottle is looked for here at noon
to-day, and it is thought Stevens
and Adams will be brought back and
a preliminary trial held. These rumors can
not be traced to any reliable source. Armor
is much displeased at not being hung. In
fact he is indignant. He says he is ready to
meet ???his Jesus,??? and didn???t want to go to
Augusta because he didn???t have any new
clothes.
Milledof.ville, October 19.???After a long,
dry, dusty and hot season we are, as I write,
having a fine rain. Cotton is coming in
freely???the quality is generally not good in
consequence of the trash and dirt left on it
by the worms. In some spots the top crop is
growing finely and the yield will be better
than was supposed some weeks since. Our
amateur, suburban farmer 8ol. Barrett inis
gathered 26 bales from ids 30-acre field, an
unsightly, red-clay piece of land near the
M. and A. railroad depot. He expects to get
one or two others. There is considerable
sickness in the surrounding country and some
in tlie city. The prevailing type isari obstinate.,
slow fever. Dolly Bayare, a worthy mechanic
died of it to-day. A violent lunatic at the
state asylum, assaulted two of the attendants
yesterday,slightly wounding them with a piece
of a broken bedstead. The contract for
making tlie brick for improvements at tlie
asylum, lias been awarded to Foster & McMil
lan, of Madison, at $5.50 per thousand deliv
ered. They will commence work at once.
A large crowd went over to Macon to the State
fair to-day and if tlie rain ceased a larger
crowd will go by the morning???s trains to-nior-
row. There is quite a number of strangers
in the city and a lull delegation of drummers,
lias on his books. Mr. M. M. Situs, whose
gin house was totally destroyed a week or two
since, has witli * his usual energy^
refitted up his machinery and gone to ginning
again. Two gentlemen'from Xew York are
traveling all over this county in a springWag
on, selling dry goods, notions, etc., and we
understand that it is no uncommon tiling for
them to sell a farmer a $100 bill of articles.
Xiavxax, October 20.???On Tuesday after
noon. while the county court was in session,
a pistol shot was heard* on tlie square. Rush
ing to tlie window Henry Clay C'ooly was
seen with pistol in hand snapping at Janus
S. Reid, a colored restaurant keeper, who was
running toward tite Robinson house to gain
admittance in time to escape tlie second snot.
He made tite time and entered before another
shot was fired. C'ooly lias u beef market
near tlie restaurant and tlie difficulty arose
from Reid???s allowing some other party "to sell
beef in front of his house. Reid was running
from C'ooly when he fired. Reid, though a
negro is a good citizen, and Cooly???s assault
was unprovoked and is condemned by our
best citizens. Coolv lias been bound over to
tlie superior court in a $500 bond for assault
ith intent to murder.
Albany, October 20.???After completing his
somewhat elaborate and substantial arrange
ments in tlie way of derricks and machinery,
Mr. Jackson, the artesian well-borer struck
for tlie center yesterday afternoon and made
some thirty feet. Now that tlie work is fairly
begun, its progress from day to day, will be
watched with intense interest,* Judge
Fleniing lias ordered the adjournment of
Dougherty superior court to the fifth Monday
in October. He is confined to his bed in Baiti-
bridge, from which iiis many friends wish
him aspeedy deliverance. A fine misty rilin
is falling this morning, and tiie signs are en
couraging that the protracted drouth will soon
be broken.
Griffin, October 19.???The Methodist church
was filled to overflowing last night, tlie occa
sion being the marriage of Mr. Will Woodruff
to Miss Ellie Ilanleiter. 1 am pained to
announce the sad death of Mis-S Rosa Skipper,
ayfiung lady of this place, which occurred on
Sunday last. She was ill for several weeks
with typhoid fever. Miss Rosa was a most
lovable young lady and greatly admired by
all her friends. ???Her funeral 'was preachcil
Monday morning at tiie Baptist church by
Rev. Dr. Mitchell and was largely attended*.
Her schoolmates attended in a body, and the
scene was most affecting.
Cartersville, October 19.???A heavy rain is
falling here this evening. It is much'needed
and joyfully received. The protracted
meeting at the Baptist church continues and
much good is being accomplished. Mrs. S.
R. Gere, of Auburn, Xew York, who lias been
several months with her sister, Mrs. Colonel
Montgomery, of this city, started for home
this evening on tlie 5 o???clock train. Dr. J.
T. .Shepherd happened to tlie misfortune this
evening to lose his fine young mare, caused
by a snag in tlie abdomen, which completely
disemboweled Iter. Judge Collins had two
parties arraigned before him to-day charged
with violations of tlie revenue laws. One was
discharged, the other goes to Atlanta.
Gainesville, October 19.???Yesterday at tlie
residence of W. P. Whelchel, in this county,
his daughter, Miss Ethel Whelchel, was mar
ried to Mr. Henry Brown. The bride and
groom are both members of tlie first rank in
soci- ty. Little Tommie, tlie younger son
of M. Van Estes, who had his arm badly
crushed in a cotton cleaner tlie other day, is
ery sick. It is feared ite will lose his arm.
The trestle on tiie G. J. and S. railroad is
nearing completion, so the laying of iron will
be begun in- three or four day's. Three cheers
for Allen D. Candler, its president.
Tiiomastox, October 18.???Mr. J. D. Alexan
der, late of tiie Pike County News, lias bought
tlie Middle Georgia Times from Dr. T. A.
Chappell. Mr. Joseph Allen has niovedhis
stock of goods into liis new brick store, and
Mr. John C. Fox lias begun business in tlie
house recently occupied by Mr. Allen. J.
C. Jiminerson was yesterday committed to
jail in default of giving a bond of $500 for his
appearance at the superior court to answer
the charge of running off mortgaged
erty.
Crawfordville, October 20.???Sang Armor,
tlie murderer, has been reprieved. The re
prieve was issued to-day. Armor will be
taken to Augusta at noon. The sheriff and
deputy sheriff of Warren county are here. It
is said that evidence has been collected by the
detectives to the effect that more than* one
other person is interested in it. In an inter-
terview with a Democrat reporter yesterday
Sang Armor reiterated one of his former con
fessions, and said that he did the crime alone.
It was unpremeditated. He killed Mr. Elling
ton in self-defense. Great excitement prevails.
It is said that the reprieve was granted with
out any foundation for it. Some say tiiat tlie
estate of Amos Ellington had already paid the
reward ottered. These detectives got it. But
they were not the ones who Reserved it. Tw
other parties were entitled to it. But the de
tectives wished to keep them from suing the
estate. Rumor says they trumped uj>
a tale for the* governor, and on
this flimsy ground got the reprieve,
l???he detectives, on tlie other hand, say they
know what they are at. A ???dark horse??? will
be rushed in. * Expressions of opinion are
varied, and very freely given. The gallows
had not been built. The time set for the
hanging is the 25th of Xovember next.
Washington, October 20.???Dr. S. J. Hillyer,
pastor of the Baptist church here, proposes to
deliver a series of lectures on the bible, in
short while. The doctor is a ripe scholar and
much beloved by this community, and no
doubt iiis lectures will prove a benefit.
John I). Coxwell who has been languishingin
the Atlanta jail for some time, is to hav<
a new trial at the coming court
in Xovember. Colonel Acton was dow
yesterday in tlie interest of iiis pajier. Tlie
