tance aboreCedar Bluff, After ineffectual ef
forts to stop the flames, the steamer Inn ed,
and her passengers and crew succeeded in get
ting off safely.
There were twenty-five passengers, and their
baggage was saved. Everything else, including
freight and the United States mail, exoopt five
registered poaches, was destroyed. Afterburn
ing fiercely for some time, the steamer sunk.
The John J. Seay waa built in 1885, and waa
worth twenty thousand dollars. The insurance
is only $6£00. While the loss is a heavy one.
Captain Seay Is determined to build a new
steamer at onoe, fully twjual, if not superior, to
the one just destroyed. He thinks the boat
will be afloat within sixty days.
Jonathan Bell, a prominent man of Ogle
thorpe county, died Sunday lost. He was
about oighty years old, and a sterling democrat
ail his lire. Before the war he was very weal*
ing his natural life. Mr. 01 Reese, now night
watchman of the Georgia depot, was one of
the moat expert hat makers of the county.
Mr. Iteoso says that there were three large hat
factories In the county before the war, and
that McCfesky’* factory, near Jefferson, turned
out from 75 to 100 hats per day, which retailed
at $1.25 apiece, and sold by the wholesale at
from 90c. to 31. These hats contained from

of Lnmpkin, Ga. The circumstances seem to
be about as follows: Homer complained of
being sick and his father had just left him to

tho front porch in his night clothes breathing
his last. The gun with which lie shot himself

the act. Ho was a bright and clever young
man, and had been teaching school near
Lnmpkin.

och lug n legacy from Captain W. 1>. Martin,

talked with somo of our old citizens, and
they say that Captain Martin was a man who
loved tho church and her poople, and wlillo ho
never joined the church, ho wa* always a
liberal contributor to church matters, and I
suppose If tlioro had been a Presbyterian
church here at that time lie would have joined
it, as that was his choice.'*

Augusta Chrofllcle; A Carolina farmer by
tlie name of Ivin cuiue to town yesterday with
one of his pockets literally filled with rattle-
auakc rattles. A count actually revealed one
hundred and five ef the dangerous ornaments.
He htated that they were tho trophies of one
massacre which had occurred on his plantation
tho day before. While eewted on e log in a
forest near his home he heard a rustling noise
In tha leaves near hirajand, looking down, saw
a monster tattler making hte way to a thick
clump of bushes near by, which seemed to be*
alive with animal motion. Having his gun at
hand, he raised It and fired at ins reptHe.
After writhing a few momenta it expired. The
ground, however, around the clump of bushce
immediately became the scene of a deafening
chorus of buzzing sounds. Taming hte eyes
In the direction, hte blood was almost frozen
in.hi* veins as he beheld nine enormous rattle
snakes with their tails in the air and their
bodice colled lu an attitude of battle. Throw
ing his gun to his should* r, he fittd time after
timo Into the writhing mass until tlie noise
cessed. Ue then made an investigation, and
found that he had killed ten of tho biggest
rattlesnake* ever seen in Carolina. Mr. Ivia
prizes the rattles very highly, and says he in
tends te keep them as a voucher for the truth-
fulaeee ef his make story.

From the Jonesboro, Ga, News
On last Monday about noon, while the
children of Mrs. Anna Malone's school, at
Bethel school house, wore enjoying their noon
recess at speech making, ole., Mr. 8. A. Mann,
who lives near tho schoolhouse. was coming
from Mr. Wliuley's still, and being in a drunk
en condition anu reeling from ono aide of tho
road to tlie other, lie heard tho children
laughing, end supposed they were laughing at
him. Tills so enraged Mr. Mann that lie went
to his house, and got hte gun, a double-barrel
brecrh-loading shot-gun, and returned to take
hte revenge for tho supposed insult to him.
Heelng several of the echool boys running to
wards the schoolhouse, for the school bell had
Just rung, he deliberately aimed at the boy*
nnd fired twice. The boys were badly
frightened, and it te useless to
say made tracks rapidly. Two
of the boys, Buddie Tucker and J. K. Hanes
were struck by the shot but were unhurt. Mr.
Mann'e little girl, eeolng her father again
loading, ran up, and, with the assistance of
others, got the gun from her father. Mrs.
Mann arrived, and Mr. Mann was taken hojfte.
It te a matter of congratulation that no harm
resulted from the shots. Mr. Mann’s conduct
can only be explained upon the assumption of
too much Whaley liquor. Mr. Mann is highly
connected, and his friends are greatly mortified
by bte conduct. No legal steps havo been
taken concerning the matter, but it te to bo
hoped that Mr. Mann will be sufficiently pun
ished to bo made to believe that whisky should
not be manufactured in Clayton county; nnd
we sincerely trust that enough of the true hills
now standing against Whnloy will bo pushed
at the Boptomber term of the court to enable
him to close bte still.
From the Augusta, Ga., Chronicle.
Whilst the crop prospect te not so good In
variousssetionsof the state, the Augusta fac
tors claim that tho receipts cannot at the wont
be less than 200,000 bales. The Clironicle's ar
ticle showing that Augusta 1s not'ouly the host
intend cotton market in the south, but a for
midable rival to the sea porta, has been appre
ciated by tlie country merchants and farmers,
and the outlook te that from the crop prospects
and tlio sfforts made by our merchants Au-
ta’a receipts will easily roach 200,000 bains.
} reports from most sections oome in good,
but wo wish to givo both aides. Wo get tho
following from a gentloman who has just
returned from a business trip over the Char
lotte, Columbia and Augusta railroad:
“That crop prospects aro not so good as tho
J it-Al observer would suppoae. Tlio rains
■fug the last few weeks have caused con-
c raulo rust in some places. In others the
plant has run \to vroca, and while in apota it
nos a fresh, green appearance, a close examina
tion will show very little fruit. The farmers,
while expressing a great dell of disappoint
ment at the crop not coming up to their ex
pectations of a few weeks since, eay that the
result will probably lie as good or a shade bet
ter tlmn last year. There te no question but
that tho seasons cf tho lost thirty days havo
materially damaged tho cotton outlook in this
section."
All new cotton that comes into Augusta te
taken easily at 9 cents. Tlio Savannah quota
tion for middling is 8 13-16. Augusta still
leads.
A gentleman who has recently vlsltod the
Sweetwater creek region along the line of tho
East Tennessee,^Virginia and Georgia railroad,
on the other side of the Chattahoochee river,
gives an account of tho discovery of natural
gas on the farm of Mr. Edward Brown.
The discovery was made accidentally.
It is said that two negroes who were hired
by Mr. Brown were ”
few days since. They]
of between 10 and 50 feet, when they
i two negroes wno were nircu
i were digging a well a
They had reached a deflth
d 50 foot, when they struck
■oft, sandy rook dopoeita which they removed
without any trouble. This formation was not
very thick, liofrever. After going down a few
feet further the stratum bccatno harder, and it
liccamo necessary to drill it in order to romove
it. While one of the diggers was delving
strenuously, hte drill got out of fix, and he
naturally terrified.
Tho death of Mary Ann Todd, relict of
Henry Todd, of Darien, which occurred a short
time ago, recalls the provisions of tho wilt of
that remarkable and honored colored oftlzen
of McIntosh county. Henry Todd, wlioae
death occurred about a year and a half ago,
was the richest colored man In the state. Ills
wealth wa* estimated at over 8200,000. After
jU wife for her life, After tho death of both
tte wifo nnd his half brother, Francis >711-
tems. the executors are, within three years
i'rom the neath of the last to depart this life,
1q reduce the rcsldtmiy estate to cash, of which
lie directs the following disposition: "To tho
Presbyterian church of Darien, Ga., ten per
centum of said cosh, and to the Colored Bap
tist church of Darien also ten per centum of
■aid cash, and five per centum each to
tho following churches In said city of
Darien, Ga., to-wit: The Mothndtet Episco
pal church south, the Methodist Episcopal
church for the colored poople, the African
MuthodUt Episcopal church, the white peo-
p o's Episcopal church, and the colored peo
ple's Eptecoiuil church. Tho various bequests
obo paid over by my executors as soon as
I ractteach and without any unnoccassry de-
ay, to the proper officers of such organiza
tions, to be by such officers so used as they
may severally deem best for tho good of said
churches ana the advancement of our Savior's
cause in those brandies of the visible church,
und I do front my inmost heart invoko the
blessings of Hod the Father, God tho Hon
nnd Hod the Holy Ghost upon these bequests,
that they inav be sanctified to tho accomplish
ment of good through the merits of His Bon
and our blessed Itodeemor—Amen.” Tlie
children of Savalll nnd Juanita Hernandos,
Frank Cardlno and William Garvin, are
tho other heirs who now como in for the
remainder of the estate which was devised to
Todd's wife for the term of her life. Tho half
brothers, Francis William, died before the
testator. Therefore tho executors may now
begin the work of reducing the residuary In
terest of Mnry Ann Todd to cash, and in three
cars the churches of Darien will receive about
.>100,000 in the coin or currency of the country.
Todd was a “Churchman," but, It te seen, lie
did not confine hte gifts to tho household of
hte own faith. Ute partner In the milling bus
iness was a white man, Mr. Henry Hunting
don. Todd also did a large banking business,
and was always known for hte liberality. He
constantly lent without taking note or collat
eral. His wife was singularly esteemed, and
enjoyed tha unexampled mark of favor among
the member* of her raoe that the ladisaol
of Darien visited her socially. She was an
ludustrions woman, aud had amaasod quite a
fortune in hor own right. Rut it would appear
that ehe had little confidence in
banks or banker* in spite of her hus
band's avocation, nor did sho believe in
the sanctity and trustworthiness of last wills
aud testaments. After her husband's demise
she was forced to bring a bill in equity to ob
tain possession of certain personal property.
A box marked with Henry Todd's name was
deposited in the vaulU of the Southern bank
of tha city. It waa taken possession of by the
executed and waa found te contain filO.OuO In
bank notes. This box aba recovered. Her
leal estate she deeded in escrow to friends and
relatives, not leaving her lands for the law to
distribute. This good couple illustrated In
their lives all the beat troths and charities of
the Christian religion, and descended to hon
ored graves, which *
I of women and the yells of children were ter-
rible. Finally matters were quteted down,
i and It wm found,strongely enough,Jtbat no one
‘ was hurt at nH. Order was restored and the
i fuuer ceremonies were concluded at the grave.
The remains were followed to tho grave by
| the Knights of Labor and the Salvation Army,
I of both of which he w as a member,
j Mrs. Jacks' n died at Nashville last Tuea-
: day, aged elghty-one, leaving two children,
j Colonel Andrew Jackson, of West Point, who
I was an artillery otlicer in the late war on the
southern side and inode reputation, and Mrs.
Dr. John Lawrence. One sou, Samuel, was
killed at CJiJcamagua.
Mrs. Sarah Jackson, now remembered .
hut few peoplo, was for four years—or nearly
four years—tho moat prominent lady of the
land, the intetresA of tho w hite house. About
the commencement of General Jackson*
second term, his adopted son, Andrew Jack-
son, Jr., married Mias Sarah York, of PhilSr
dolphin, a young lady of accomplishments, of
good family and great personal beauty. TI
adopted son, who was a nephew of Mi
Jackson, brought hte young bride tatho whim
bouse, where she wa* received by tlie president,
who was a widower, Mrs. Jackson having died
after his first election and before ho became
president. She proved to be a most devoted
daughter and loving wifo. G<
was a peculiar man. The lose oi ms wue lour
years before had changed Ills whole life. All
Jite letters—letters to members of tho family
and friends—showing that during hte first
term he was grieving ovor his great loss. But
when the time expired, the old general came
back to the hermitage.
In time he died, le

tiful bride, the mistress of tho white house—
the old heroe’s greatest comfort end solace in
hte old age—pawed away at tho age of 81. She
will be burled tomorrow at 11 o’clock. The
funoral will take place at tha hermitage.
Tho simple wreath of immortelles 4**.a4
lay on the coffin of Mrs. Sarah Jaokson,
was a fit offering to the silver haired woman
who, for fifty years, had lived at theHennitage,
a model of exalted womanhood. Long lines
of vehicles from Nashville and the surround
ing county passed out the Lebanon turnpike,
so that a great crowd was present at the funer
al. Tho old families for miles in every direc
tion were present. A sense of gonnine sorrow
was everywhere present. This woman'e death
severing the last Ue that hound th<
day to that past of which Andrew
was tho groator part to Tennesssee. The grid
of tho domestic®*, nearly all of whom live® at
tho Hermitage since childhood, was most
touching. Two, Alfred Jackson aud his wife,
were the body servants of
the president and his wifo,
and their lamcntatlcns wore pitiable in the ex
treme. Rev. J. D. McNcilly, assisted by Rev.
Air. Moore, conducted the funeral exercises.
Ho reviewed the life of the deceased and em
phasized tho beauty of Christianity which it
exemplified. She had survived to tne ripe ago
of 82, and for a half centuiy had been an active
member of the church. Standing in the twi<
light of worlds a few days before her death,
she had used tho words of tha text, and there
by given ovidenco of the fullness of her faith.
Tho apoaker remarked that it wa* unnecessary
to review the historic life of tho doebiteed, bnt

The Roy&l Baking Powder Declared
Superior to all others.
The fact that Royal Baking Powder 1b, In all respects,
the best baking powder offered to the publio has been
established beyond question.
Prof. H. A. Mott, when employed by the U. S. Govern
ment to analyze the various baking powders of the market
to determine whioh was the best and n\pst economical, after
an extended investigation, reported in favor of the Royal
and it was adopted for government use.
Prof. Mott has continued his examinations of baking
powders sold at the present day, and now affirms it as his
deliberate judgment, arrived at after most thorough research
and a careful examination of the principal, brands of the
market, that the Royal is undoubtedly the purest and most
reliable baking powder offered to the public. Prof. Mott, in
his recent report, says:
“The Royal Baking Powder is absolutely pure, foi^I
have so fonnd it in many tests made both for that company
and the U. S. Government.
“ I will go still farther and state that, because of the
facilities that company have for obtaining perfectly pure
cream of tartar, and for other reasons dependent npon the
proper proportions of the same, and the method of its
preparation, the Royal Baking Powder is undoubtedly the
purest and most reliable baking powder offered to the
publio. Dr. HENRY A. MOTT, Pn.D.”
