United States Maitfhal John W. Nelms has,
1>y anthoyity of the department of justice at
Washington, offend a reward of five hundred
dollars for the arrest of the murderer or mur
derers of Deputy Marshall W. D. Ktllett.
Captain Nelms is sure that James McUoy
the man whoTfired the fatal shot^through the
body of the deputy marshal, ami fn his
published annomm inent .of thcjreward, gives
a description of Mri.???oy.
McCoy is about six feet high, light gray or
pale blue eyes, heard light sandy, fair com
plexion, round stoup shoulders, high, cheek
bones, hair dark sandy, weight between 1(10
fltad 170-ponnds, slio:t neck, broad shoulders,
Walking slightly rioojis. He walks with a
quick, swinging walk, more from the hip than
the knee. When talking he looks oil*. When

dovc-coioicd hat, and light jeans pants, lit

A TALK Wnil CAPTAIN KF.LSI*.
??????Ye?.??? said Captain Nelms yesterday, ???I am
sme that McCoy lirud the shot that passod
through Kellett???s l*ody and resulted in his
death. There is a most interesting story told
about the two men. Ten years ago Kellett
attempted to arrest McCoy aud in doing so
shot McCoy in the arm. When the surgeon
took the bullet from McCoy???s arm McCoy said:
'Doctor, give -mo that hall.??? For ten years
McCoy kept the hall, and three weeks ago ho
showed it to a crowd of men on
Lookout mountain, remarking ns lie did
so: ???Boys, - Bill Kellett put - that
ball into me ten year.-; ago, aud I will ncVer dh
satisfied until I plant it hack into his carcass/
That is a wild country up there. Tho people
raise no crops, but in tho rugged wilds of tho
mountains they hunt atul sell what they kill to
tho valley people for com and the like. McCoy
is a wonderful shot and tho gun he uses and
which 1 have now in my possession is a breech
loading rifle earn ing a forty-four calibre car
tridge. it is said that McCoy to so expert in
loading it that he could get threo shots at a
deer before the auimul could get out of range.
That is tho Sort of a marksman who was nurs
ing his malice toward the deputy marshal.
You will have to depend on your imagination
for ?? description of the wild and broken char*
actor of tho rogiou iu which tho man lived,
Mct???cy v. as
Tin: TKRROH OF IIIS NEIGHBORHOOD,
and it is said ho had put five
men under ground. Such
thejiloody boast lib bad mads to his neighbors
prior to the murder of Kellett."
Captain Nelms, during his last visit to the
scene of the murder, made a diagram of tho
place. From it a Constitution reporter was
permitted to make the following, ; which will
greatly aid the reader iu understanding how
the brutal assassin;.;ion was accomplished.
It must be remembered that Kcllct and
liis prisoner, Calvin Young, left
the home of tho Youngs
about half an hour by nun and approached the
creek about dark. Kellett was riding aud
Youcg was walking.
Behind a ledge of rocks and a cluster of
laurel bushes marked "A??? tbojnmrdcrcrs wero
concealed. An examination of tho placo
showed that the cold blooded bushwhackers
had trimmed away some branches to give them
a clear view of the road which was only twelve
feet distant. ???B??? is a vquaro rock in the creek.
???C??? is a largo flat rock and ???D??? is a foot-
log. Kellett rode down to tho creek, approach
ing at tho squaro rock ???B.??? His horao turned
to go down the creek, and Youugstarted across
the foot-log. The a^usains behind tho ledge
of rocks.??????A??? fflred, aad Kellett fqft upon-the
against a clump of boshes that grew beside the
???stream. ??? '
His bat was pferred by five bucksIioF nnd
Ms lmlr was grazed. That load had missed its
mark. But in the middle of the hock a hall
iiad eu tired and pawed entirely through tho
body. It was from a 4-1-calibre rifle, and hut
two men in that locality hud such a gun. Ouo
was James McCoy.
With the hnrd rock for his deathbed, and
the lonely mountains for his surroundings,
the murdered officer gave up Ills existence,
while tho innocent waters gurglod by and
helping to chill the lifeless form.
WILL TRY TO CATCH HIM.
"I will leave no stone unturned to capture
the murderer," said Captain Nelms.
"Yon think the whole thing was arranged
and premeditated?"
' "I do. Old man Young wrote down hero for
Kellett to come up and get Calvin. Kellett
wont. Now listen at this: Calvin Young had
iu*t Ti t in ned on Saturday afternoon late, from
Whitfield county. He was* footsore and tired
but, ns lie says, got n gun and went out to ???kill
a crow.' On tuo trip he fell in With McCoy.
Young was away all day Sunday until just
1retort* night, and the old man persuaded Kol-
lett not to leave until just before night, as ho
had cm mies that might do him harm."
"Do you know what McCoy did when ho
heard of the murder."
"When the alarm was given an effort was
made to get people to sit up with tho corpse.
Those who went to McCoy???s house found him
and JinvWiley sitting beforo tho Are. McCoy
had his shoes off. When he wa?? told nl>out tho
murder, bo asked the question: "What sort of
a horse was ho riding???? Tho reply was that
jKcIhtt was riding an iron gray.
McCoy answered that ho had seen him
pass the house. Ho went with the people to
the place where Kellett la
ing the body he grew qu
??? fhsed to stay and nit up. I may add that when
wc found McCoy's fine gun it had evidently
W*cn recently fired, and when we next went
to see it sand had licen
HUN THROUGH IT
??? in an Effort to destroy tho evidence that It
had belli discharged."
Captain Nelms continued:
???This is tbo seventh attack that has been
made cu my deputies in tho last month, killing
one deputy and one witness, sliooting-at four
and cutting two with bowie knives. All of it
occurred In separate places. It is not on
account of ill treatment, for my deputies
are uniformly kind tp all prisoners
tinder their charge. One of these law
breakers explained to mo that the
mountain people thought when the democrats
went into power they had a perfect right to
wake whisky."
The captain drew out an immense and
MURDEROUS LOOKING BOWIE KNIFE,
and said:
"Here Is a bowie knife with which a man
attempted to murder Deputy Marshal Hayes.
The man is now in jail. My intention has al
ways 1h cn to administer the federal laws with
Jcimlurc* and humanity. I have not deviated
from that intention, but it is well
for the violator!of the revenue laws to under
stand fiist as well as last that they cannot in
timidate me by killing, shooting and cutting
my deputies. We will follow them with new
men to take the places or those they make way
with, and we will take our chances on brbiging
them to justice. I intend that the law sliall lie
cnfnncd if I have to leave my office in charge
of my two office deputies and take to tho
field myself. 1 would not ask a deputy to go
where i would not go myself."
The <-aplain means business, and lie is not
afraid of anything that walks the earth. The
moonshiner* may not know this, but the cap
tain???s acquaintances all know it.
THE TBIAL.
??? Charles Kellett, a son of Captain \V. D. Kcl-
lett, the United States deputy marshal,
who wal killed on Lookout moun
tain. was before Commissioner ???Haight
yesterday M a witness in the investigation
against Andy Young. This witness had seen
Jits father's hat which was riddled with bullets,
but the deputy sheriff had the hat in charge.
The latter gentleman has been subptenwl and
will*be* nere Monday. Andy Young was re
leased t n boflffi, and yesterday left for his bomb
on the mountain. Tfcrre arc soveraT witnewes

NATIONAL SURGICAL INSTITUTE.
Its, Twelfth Anniversary???Removal to ils
New Building.
The twelfth cnulversaryof the establishment
of the National Surgical Institute in Atlauta,
Georgia, and the occupancy by it of a now
building designed and erected tor its especial
use, is deemed a fit occasion for calling atten
tion to the oljects, distinguishing features, and
methods employed by it* founders and proprie
tors in carrying forward their chosen work,
The propriety and necessity lor dividing the
practice of medicine into legitimate specialties
is no longer called in question. The Surgeon,
the Gynaecologist, file Oculist, the General
Practitioner (himself a specialist), and the
Pathologist, have each a legitimate field of
work, broad enough to employ the best talent
and labor of all who may choose to outer there
in. Orthopedic surgery???the treatment of
deformities of the human body???lms been tho
leading idea in the Surgical Institute. Its dis
tinguishing feature, now adopted by many
eminent surgeons in the United States and
Europe, Is the manufacture and adjustment of *
appliances under the direct control and obser
vation of its surgeons. In other words,instead
of delegating to non-professional bauds tho se
lection and application of needed apparatus in
the treatment of deformities, tho surgeons of
the Institute direct the construction of and
adjust the appliances required,and superintend
the alterations and repairs needed during tho
whole course of treatment. They perform
such surgical operations us may be deemed
eatery, snd have general care of the surgical
and mechanical treatment of their ease
Tho staff of tho Institute,witli the exception
of -a few additions, remains the same as it w f as
twelve years ago. It would her absurd to say
that men have mastered iho whole science of???
medicine. .Such a claim has up foundation in
reason, and is not justified by the developments
in any other branch of human knowledge,
True science, discarding the???errors of tho past,
onto better thing*. It is noble to ad
mit the wrong and espouso tho right; it is
bigotry and egotism to comlcmn what wo do
not understand or cannot reach. If tho public
desires reliable information in rcgnrd to; the
Surgical Institute, it shfiuld either investigate
for itself, or else seek information from those
patients who, having been faithful to our direc
tions, and having co-opcrated intelligently with
our treatment, havo received the desired rolief.
In cases where there is good reason to believe
that the treatment proscribed can and will be
carried opt, the patient is pormittnd, after a
time, to return home, but it is ouly in cases
when wo can implicitly rely on patients for
such co-operation'that treatment at homo of
tho patient can bo undertaken by the Insti
tute. In 1%G9 at Indianapolis, Iudiana, tho
original institute hearing our name was found
ed by three, physicians and sHrgoons, each of
whom had become thoroughly established and
known -in the profession. In 1874 one of thoao
founders of the institute established tho At
lanta branch, aud in 1870 another member of
the firm established tho eastern branch In
Philadelphia, Pn., leaving the third member
in cliargo of the busiucss in Indianapolis.
Subsequently the firm was dissolved by mu
tual consent, each division remaining under
cliargo of its founder. The relations between
hero different. cstabl tokurenta are tbwmosfc
[rateable antr fmnflly. NET advance bt inn--
provcinent made by one is withheld from tho
others, and together they press forward in tho
work iu which they may be fairly called tho
pioneers. The present location of tho Atlanta
institute is central, just far enough from tho
depot and railroads to escapo the smoko and
noise of the engines.
Churches, libraries, stores, theatres, and pub
lic buildings are within easy access, and street
cars that connect with othor lines to alt parts
of tho city pass our doors. Those seeking our
profctsional aid will find that in ournewquar
ters the means and facilities for carrying on
the work to which wo have devoted the best
part of our lives aro largely increased and ira
proved. In the past twelve years not less than
five thousand cases havo been entered upon
our books for treatment, aud tho results, wo
believe, have been satisfactory and successful
iu a larger per cent of this number, than of
any equal number of liko eases at any, similar
institution. Tho judges, composed of medi

At the close of the war Colonel . George W.
Scott was iu command of the confederate force?
in the sub-district of middle and west Florida
and southwest Georgia. After tho surrender
he returned to his plantation near Talla
hassee,where he won the esteem and confidence
of tho people of Florida, who offered him the
highest honors within their reach, and which,
feeling that his work was in miothcr direction
than politics, he declined.
Realizing that the old system had pasted
away, and that planting to bo profitable with
freo labor would havo to be conducted
plan that would admit, of an economy of labor,
Colonel Scott tamed his attention to saving all
manures originating on tho plantation, com
posting them with cotton seed, and to the
fullest extent utilizing everything that could
be made available. lie soon found, however,
with all his effort*, he eouhl not get together
from these sources sufficient matcral to properly
manure more than one-third of his crops. As an
experiment ho purchased in Baltimore
a ton each of Peruvian guano
and Mr. John Merryman???a aranioni-
ated phosphate, tho former costing him
delivered at his plantation, pne hundred and
ten dollars, and tho latter eighty-five dollars
in gold???these he applied on nil crops of 1H00
alongside of his compost and*obtained good
results. The cost of these.fertilizers was, how
ever, so high that he turned his attention to
originating a substitute at home. lit his
searches for information ho purchased ???Veil'
Works on Agriculture in Franco,??? and several
English works ou experiments with fertilizer*
n England. From -these ho gathered some in
formation as to the mode of preparing ???concern
trated fertilizers." Having a fine crop of su-
K r cane that year and, as a result, over fifty
riels of syrup, he Raid to his foreman, ???ho
would give a gallon of syrup for each ouo hun
dred pounds of dean, dried bones, delivered ??fc
his ginbouse." His foreman let this proposi
tion be generally known in that densely negro
populated Sectiou and It started.a string of
uegroc< with bogs of bones on their heads, who
soon supplied him with a pile of bones nearly
as largo as his ginliotise; ho had utilized a small
stream that ran through his plantation by put
ting in an overshot wheel 16 feet in diameter,
with which he mn a com mill, a saw gin and
n roller gin, and was about to put In a sugar
mill; through tho shaft of the sugar mill ho
put arms to drive p set of heavy cast-iron
stamps, which, with a [strong iron bod plate,
constituted an efficient mill for crushing tho.
hones???these, after a careful screening by "Old
Major,??? were wlieqled and dumped into a
wooden tank, whore they wero treated with
sulphuric acid which was shipped from Now
York in carboys, and after a thorongh manip
ulation by "Uncle Milton??? and ???Harry" with
hoes and long-handled spades, wero turnod out
a tolerable article of superphosphate; this was
composted with cotton seed, making a com
pound which gave lino results on cotton mid
corn. Finding in tho English and Freuch
woiks referred to that experiments mado with
rape-seed enko compostod with phosphate gavo
good results, ho concluded to test cotton-seefi
cake and sco what fertilizing properties it hnd
and if it could not ho utilized. In 18417, ho there
fore procured a ton of cotton seed efiko from
New Orleans, had it analyzed, and finding it
contained rather more nitrogen than rapo-snod
cake, he had it broken up aud ground; in this
pulverized state it was mixed with
bone phosphate and wood ashes; this
mixture gave marked tosults,??? oven alongside
.of the mixture of phospbato and cotton seed???
llie reasons were apparent, the raoal wa?? ; ln
a condition to bo hssimnlated ns riant food
and ono pound of it contained ns much am*
aionia as three pounds of seed, thus making
a much more concentrated iriantiro. Ho also
found In tho works mentioned, that tho
florists and gardeners of tho nobility when
flowers* aud vegetables were desired out of
season, forced them to maturity in tho con
servatories by use of a solution of nitrato
of seda and sulphate of ammonia. All tlicso
ideas lie combined, realizing that in tho bone

ammonia which would go into solution as soon
as it ramo in contact with tho tnoisturo in the
soil, he hnd a material that would at once push

danger of sheading* By tho use of high grade
muriate as the potash material bo hnd tho for*
mula complete for tho now fumous Gossypium
phospho???cotton phosphate???Gossypium being
the generic name of cotton.
Boon after tho discovery of tho. phosphate
beds in South Carolina, Colonel fkott Vos in
vited to join his friends in Charleston iu tho
organization of tho Stoiio prosphato company,
was made one of the fimt board of directors,
and was, until u few years ago, actively con
nected with the interests of that compnny. In
1675 he came to Atlanta, und in the following
spring commenced, iu u small way, tho man-
ipulatioiqofGossypium, having had tho various
materials properly prewired at tho chemical
laboratories ready for his use. When ho flrat
tolled at the agricultural department and re
quested on inspection and analysis, stating tliat
the ammoutatfng material was derived lurgoly
from cotton seed meal, the commissioner,
Dr. Janes, said "ho doubted if ho could ndmit
it to inspection, as It could hardly ho
classed os a commercial. fertilizer-???the
planters having at homo the material in a hot
ter form, i. e., cotton seed.??? After a suggestion
from Colonel Scott tlmt liu bad come
here to make it, and if it was a
fraud it was tho duty of tho de
partment to expose it, it was inspected and gos*
sypium phospho regularly started on its career
ns a full fledged commercial fertilizer. At this
time tbo mills were paying only eight to ten
ccnpi per bushel for cotton seed, for the reason
there was no market for tho cake, and depend
ing alone on the sale of tho oil, they could uot
afford to pay more.
Writing to a prominent mill for prices on 300
tons of meal, the party gavo It, but said they
feared he would overstock himself, as they had
never sold so much to a home market. Now,
to realize the great change tliat the introduc
tion of this fertilizer has been largely instru
mental in bringing about, wo will mention
that muny thousand,tons of cotton seed meal
are now used In Atlanta alone. The mills aro
laying the planters 10 to 18 cents fqr the seed,
and Messrs, Scott & Co., are furnishing the
ianters their high grade fertilizer at lets than
no third the cost or 0.standard fertilizer when
Colonel Scott first commenced the use of cotton
seed meal. The cotton seed mill? have in
creased since tliat time from aliout six to 1.71,
and thus cotton seed, which wasnlmo<ita waste
on the plantation, has become ono of the val
uable farm prodnet* of the.South.
In the meantime, Gossypium has grown so
steadily in favor and their trade has so largely
increased that Messrs..Scott & Co. found 'it ne
cessary to enlarge the rapacity of thtfir works.
They havo, therefore, just completed
probably altogether the most complrte
iminufarturing establishment In the
United States. The buildings aro
const meted most substantially and arranged
with every cohveulenee for handling the im-
inensc quantity of goods turned out. The
machinery is oil of the most approvod^kind,
including the new process of gnnding???plio*-
hatc with steel .rollers. By ttiia process the
phosphate remains in the mills until it is so
completely pulverized that it will float out in
an atmospheric current, thuk securing an even
grade of fowls.
The mixer discharges tbo arid phosphate
Into an iron car which carries it out on a track
0 feet above'the floor of the immense deposi
tory mom, w hich Is twp hundred feet long and
hundred and twelve feet wide, into which it
.j discharged In a *aul*lhinid state, where it
remains qntil ail tho acid Is taken on and tire
material rendered soluble. The *l??-pMftory
building and the six fctory mill bunding ad
joining, are clad (sides, and roof; with heavy
corrugated iron. Their new chemical works
consists of two complete se4a of sulphur and
nitre furnaces, Glover A Gay-Lussac -towers,
principal and secondary chambers.
Tho tower room is of brick, seven stories
high and contains four towers,each constructed
of Iron and lined with lead.
The chamber building is 200 feet by 71 and
contains tho four chambers, which aro con
structed entirely of lead. Tho two principal
chambers are each 140 feet long, 28 feet
wide and twenty feet high. The daily run
from these chambers is about 4,000 gallons of
fify degree boma sulphuric acid. The pro
cess is qbiut as follows: The sulphur fumes
arising from the burning sulphur are con
ducted under the nitre furnace and brought
up ever the burning nitre. Hero the sul
phurous and nitrous ftnues unite and are car
ried into an enormous retort, where they are
partially cooled. They then pass into the
lower part of the glover or cooling ^tower,
where they are met with a shower of cold sul
phuric arid which has been evenly distributed
over the top of the tower by a set of glass tur
bine wheels. After the Aimes are thus cooled
they arc passed into tho chambers. Hore
the lumcs are met with jets of stoam,
and are thus condonsod into liquid
sulfihuric acid. From tho pans of the
chambers the sulphuric arid is conducted
through the cooliug tanks into the choinical
egg, from which it is forced by means of a
powerful air pump into the sixth story of tho
mill building. Hero the sulphuric arid and
ground phosphates are each carefully weighed
out In proper proportions to nutko one ton of
high grade acid phosphate; they arc then
passed together into ouo of Chisolm???s patont
propeller mixers, where they aro thoroughly
mixed, and from thonco taken by tho iron ear
and cast into the groat acid depository. To
give our readers an idea of this great establish
ment wo will mentiou that there
wero used in tho construction of
improvements put in this summer, ono
Imudrod and eighty carloads of grauito,
600,000 brick, 600,000 feet of lumber, 323,000

COLLIN ADMITTED TO BAIL.
Balt Lake I???ity, December 16.-???Today
Deputy Marshal Collin, who shot Joseph E.
McMurrin, which shooting started thorocont
excitement in this- section, applied to court
to be admitted to bail. It is now known that
McMurrin will recover. Ills statement, made
when it was supposed ho would die, was read
iu the court ns a basis for grading tlie offunso
and fixing bail. The statement shows that Mc
Murrin made'assault on Collin without warning
or a word spokon, in nn alley leading to tho
latter???s house. The statement makes no men
tion of accomplices and gives no reason why
McMurrin was at that narticular placo at tho
???time of tlio assault. Marshal Collin was then
admitted to bail in $13,000.

San.Frakcwco, December ??? 16.???A sensa
tional and startling plot for tlio wliolosalo as
sassination of tho most prominent men of the
city, came to light last night. Sdmo tlrno ago
tho police obtained information of tho exist
ence of an organization called tho ???Socialists'
Revolutionary association,??? which, It was as-
Rciteg, was composed bf ultra sofciallsU mem-,
hers. A close watch was kept on thpir movo* ???
meats, and tho pollro flunlly^sticccoded in ob
taining the minutes of ono of their meetings,
held on November 23. From diets discovered
it was learned that It was intended to put
about twenty men out of tho way by assassi
nation, including W. T. Coleman,congressman,
W. W. Morrow, General W. If. L Ramos,
Mayor - Bartlett, United States
Judge Lorenzo Hawser, Belaud Stand-
ford' Charles Crocker, Governor Htonoman,
and tho principal police officials, Those names
were put on tho "proscriptive list??? aud piurod
in the hands of an executive committee. Tho
committee wero to deviso tho best means of
accomplishinff tho end of tho boso plot and
were engaged iu considering a method to lie
used when their work was brought to a sud
den end by tho discovery of tholr hoadqusr-
ten nt No. 000 Montgome ry fitroct. Tho pid Ice
arrested four men found in tho rooms. Their
names are Julius C. Kooshor, Henry Weise-
man, Charles MilhdntmU and Oroar Kggcrs.
The office!* found in licadqiinrtor* a complete
laboratory for tho mantifacturo of infernal
machines. Tho men were taken to city pris
on, where they boldly asserted that they wero
dynamiters and that they proposed to get rid
of the citizens and then raze Chinatown. Tho
I tritonersare also members of tho German
iranch of the Auti-C???oolio league. No chargo
hits yet been entered agninst the men.
??? ???The leader of the hand Is Henry Woiseman,
a Bavarian by birth, and a theoretical chemist
by profession. He was induced tojoin Coroner
U???DonnclVa anti-coolio league, and finally be
came president of tho league. ???My Intention,???
he raid, ???was merely to aid in enforcing what
O???Donnell told us was tho law against the
Chinese. He told us that-the state constitu
te n prohibited Chinese from living within the
limits of any incorporated town or city in the
state, lie showed me tho law and I read it
for myself. He never told mo that the supremo
court had declared the law unconstitutional,
nud I believed that was the law, although I
have since been told that It was not. We held
a meeting on the sand lot on Thanksgiving
day, and resolved that wo would call on the
Mtinicipaf authorities to enforce tho law or
resign their officei O'Donnell told us that we
had a right to do this, and as bo ol*
ways toasted that ho was the second
highest officer in city, I supposed kc,kncwand I
believed the municipal authorities would l??e
compelled t* ordertbem to leave tho city. Tho
onlv thing that troubled mo was thatO???Don-
neli was always letting on that the Chinese'
were aupplied with superior arms and that
they had armories In Chinatown and wero
drilling every night with Wine-bettor rifle*,
an plied them hyColonel Bee, Chinese consul. The
