THE WARS OF THE CREEKS,
Lima Bock, Ark., August 4.—An Indian Terri
toryTspeds. 1 says: The differences between tho
Creek Indians are by no meant adjusted, and it is
claimed that the United States government will be
forced to arbitrate the trouble. The tribe Is divided
into factions, one led by Spcsche and tho other by
Chccole, and denominated as the Northern and
Southern Creeks. The former control tbe local
government aud claim a majority of the people.
The latter are making an effort to separate forever
from tho Chccole party and at a recent and largely-
attended convention parsed resolutions requesting
too United Statesgovemmenttomaintain tho troops
now stationed at different points in the Creekooun-
try, announcing that they, the northern Creeks,
had elected a chief and organised a local govern
ment, and craving military protection, and urging
congress at its next session to divide the Creek Na
tion by a line ruaning east and west so that tbo
contending parties mar have their own land and
manage their own aitolr*. They also refused toat-
tend the pacification meeting held at Ockmulgee
on the 27th nit, claiming that It had been organ
ized in the Interest of the southern
Creeks, and would, therefore, be unable to give
them Justice. The resolutions were signed by
fipesche, chief of the local Creeks, and twenty-five
leading men, aud srei **“ J

A OHwIln'iPNpsralliufw Iks Terrible Trig Over

Washington, August 4.—One Dr. Richardson, a
Canadian; now residing in Washington, announces
to-day that some time this month ho will go over
Niagara fails. M y-ays he will acoomnttoh tbe
by aid pf a mechanical device which he has invent
ed—a silken bag seven font loug and four feet
through, to be IniHtcd with gas and strapped to his
back. He'.sayi:" Every thing in readincci, I will be
rowed to a point in the river near Goat island,
where I will Jump overboard and float toward tho
tolls. When I reach tho edge of the rocks over
which tho waters fall, I will bo moving as rapidly as
the water, and as my body will be very much light
er, it will shoot right out Into the air, and I will
dccend live or six yards beyond the wall ol water.
When 1 reach tbe water below 1 will float down to
the spot where Captain Webb jumped in the other
day and strike out for the Canadian shore. About
a half-mile above Goat titand there Is a prominent
bluff on tho Canadian sldo. it Is about 150 feet
high and to very nearly por)>oudlculnr. One day
last week I adjusted ray apparatus and Jumped off.
I descended la a direct lino as steadily and at about
the same speed as ordinary hotel elevators move.
Tbe water was only four feet deep at the base of
the bluff and 1 had no trouble lu making a safe
landing.'* Dr. Richardson to said to bo a man of
means and scientific atuUnmcuu.
MURDER WILL, OUT.
A Man Arrested tor s Murder CtmmUUd ftevraitea
Years Ago.
Wjiceuno, W. V„ August 4.—Seventeen yearsago
au eastern man came to Washington county, made
his headquarters at Matamoras, going Into the sur
rounding country to purchase oil lauds, seemed to
have plenty of mouuy, drove good bones and rud
deuly disappeared. His hones, wagon and gold
watch were found in possession of a man named
Ward, who claimed to have purchased them from
the owner, but many persons suspected he had
murdered the speculator, and suspicions strengthen
ed when Ward, who had been a poor farmer,
sold out and came to Matamoras, where
ho purchased a hotel and mado a display of money
out of kceplug with his previous poverty. The
matter was never pressed. Four years ago Ward
died. Auoiher man took sick this sprlog, never
suspected of complicity In the matter—George West,
a leading merchant and highly respected businewi
man, whollved about four miles west of Matamorns
He has Just died, and on his deathbed confessed to
the murder of the speculator. Ue said a man named
Kirkbrlde, who now runs a butcher * hop lu slant

Xuk(4 Muurasdcra Actlt Make Their Appearance
la That State.
Wax Traci, Tenn., August {.—Masked midnight
marauders have made .their appearance again in
tols vicinity, after remaining silent for flvo years.
Last night a party of a dozen or more went to the
houio of one Clanton.a white wood chopper, living
four miles out on tbe HhelbyviUe branch. They
broke his door down and carried him and his
wife out in different directions about four|bundred
yards from the house. They made Clanton atrip
hia back bare, and kneel down, and four men
K ve him four blows each with a seasoned hack-
rry brush. UN hack today looked like a skinned
beef. He says they gave his wife twu blow*.
They warned him to leave in tweoiy-f-xjr houi*.
A party of msake-1 men atoo tidied the czhlu of
a negro, a mile from town, thto morning before day.
aud made him take hit things out and then burned
the bouse. His wife wai tuck, and they took her
and laid her under a tree, ou a pallet. A white
neighbor came aud took her to bis house and kept
her till lo day. Tbe white men claim that he had
beeu keeping a disreputable woman about bis
house, but nothing can justify this exhibition of
lawlessne**. It is a source of anxiety and
alarm to ail good cltissns to see a revival of ku-
kiuxing. There has been none of it around here
since five yean ago. when one of them was killed
by a negro, while attempting to enter his cabin.

Stockton Hotel, Cape May, N. J., August 3.—
"Is the world grow lug fatter?"
1 am templed, as 1 sit in the piszza of this famous
old bouse aud watch the plump folks pass iu end-
loss parade, to ask:
“I* there some advance in gastronomy or some
new process of flesh—maktug by which the individ
ual avoirdupois to miaedf
A week at this sea coast rcsoit give abundant rea
sons for such a belief.There are people of all degrees
of fatnem, from the waddlera to tho merely plump.
Broad shoulders and swelling necks, make tbe pre
vailing typo of which ono huadred ami thirty
pounds of female, mark tho lowest manifestation;
A really slender woman rises like an exclamation
point from the wide aud screno amplitude.
Walter Taylor.a philosopher of direct motbods.&ug-
gests that only women of pronounced plumpness
dare to risk the semi-undress of the surf, aud that
these women flee to the mountains, where drapery
is not only an excuse but a necessity. I think
there is something iu this, for I uotlca that tho
slender girls are usually the underfed minors of a
group, In which the family oolors aro carried by
older and plumper sisters. Or, If occasionally you
see a diaphotious young woman who is here on her
own responsibility, you may be sure that
when clAd for tbe bath she will "Him out" with
amazing force, and develop a stalwart underpin
ning.
Of course these suggestions are deduced from a
study of the regular habitues of the coast watering
placet, who live their lives in resorts, flitting this
way in tho summer and that in the winter. Outside
of these, there is a cloud of visitors that come caau
ally—as birds pausing in a flight—and have no
more thought of how they look In the bath or out
of it than tho sparrows that ;drlnk and chatter and
disport themselves along tho edges of the lakes In
Central Park. It is this class that marks the height
of .frolio, that get their bathing suits on hind part
before, are turoblod in the waves, and send their
shouts of laughter mounting above tho roar of the
surf. It is they whoso stockings will
not stay gartered, whoso hair will escape from
nets, whose feet flash occasionally through the
breakers in the place where their hands onght to
be, and where every movements in the serf is a
delicious comedy, with fun enough to batter both
sides of tho ensuing day. They aro called "novices"
by the crowd which gathers to see them take
their first plunge. Among themselves, for they
gather boldness by bathing in crowds, they call
tuemiel ves grown up children at play. A dmtratlon
kludlcs quickly at tho slightest proficiency shown.
I beard one beautiful women, with the salt water
breaking over her lovely shoulders, confers to her
mournful oscort, who submerged his head to tho
point of suffocation that she might have lair play,
that he wu "a regular sea-cod."
A PICTURE ON OCEAN’S BOSON.
I am far from denying that a certain plumpness is
desirable when one goes to tho coast. Nowhere,
perhaps, does It count for so much. But tho prem
ia knotted over this, or hung loosely about the
throat or waist. For tho men thero is a slnglo gar
ment belted at tho watot.aud reaching to the knees,
leaving tho legs bare. This is varied by wearing
8&}tch knee breeches aud cream colored shirts, for
there are marine dudes os well os land dudes.
After tho bath there is au hour of sleep, follow
ingaclAret punch or something stronger. Aud
then dinner, elaborate and stylish, with terrapin
added to tho salt water delicacies that made break
fast memorable. 1 he afternoon is given to rest
until five or *ix o’olock, when there are yachts for
thodj who wish to sail or carts for those who wish to
drive. Llucs of street cars with dummy engines
offo.- excursions to various poluts of interest. Tho
sailing to excellent. Inside the bar thero is smooth

[Cnse of rest and invigoratlon. The roar of tho

I* may interest your readers to know that the
colony of forty odd Georgians at this hotel, bap-

Mr. George Schaefer, is fairly holding its own.
Tb< v have rooms clustered togotherln ono wlug of
the »tockton, a wholo avenue of bath houses, aud
a g uup of tablet lnthe dining room. They aro suf-
fldeat unto themselves for enjoyment, but have
mu’e many pleasant acquaintances outlido. A

and a handsome garden party In their honor it an

ofh party maintain the reputation of tbe empire

met. thoy aro usually on deck. Mr. Henry Porter
asp dthed tho bench the dayol our arrival by

him Ho explained by saying: "The top ol my
he.*, which is the only part of me I can't hide un-
der’aa water, Is bald-and Its umbrella or blister,
wit ' me." Finding the umbrella unhandy, he
adopted various head-gear, ending with aulm-

converts the elegant conservative bankor Into an

Innocence, disporting herself lu the waves, I do not

TtKPLg, Carroll County, Go., August 2.—
As nil the villages and towns on the Georgia
I’aclAc railway, except Temple, have been
vigorously sketched, X think Ft due her tbe
same. Just forty-Hvo miles from Atlanta,
located In a beautiful, smooth and fertile
country, for beauty in location or thrift In
prosperity, she cannot be excelled by any of
the new towns. Twelve months ago Temple
was nothing but s beautiful grove. Now wo
have some Afteen store-houses that will be
completed by the Arst of September next:
nine business houses that have done a lively
business most all of tho present
tear. We also have some neat residence
houses. Built a neat academy and baya
therein a splendid school, with a good teach
er. Wo hove bought upto date, near Are
thousand chickens, and three thousand dozen
of eggs. And considering the amountof gu
ano huuled off from here this season by the
farmers, I think the merchants msy safely
expect a llvoly time this fall. We
bavo at onr call two physicians.
Temple is surrounded by a class of indus
trious, sedate, honest and frugal farirers, and
os for health Templo cannot lie excelled by
any placo in the stale. Our country is well
a led with good water, good land, good
r, and many rich veins ol valuable ore
penetrating all through our portion ol mother
earth, and with these combinations at her
control she certainly has a prosperous future*
Wo have as yet no new churches, owing to
some trouble bctwccn|tlie church trustees and
railroad officials, though this can be easily
adjusted when the hearts of those parties getx
in propor trim. Wo havo Sunday school and
preaching In onr neat academy.
