Wednesday,ami on that dajr the accuied came
jnrrchiog into town carrying a double-barrell
ed r hot gun end a belt full of revolvers, fol
lowed by a score of bia friends armed to the
leetb. These were iflmost immediately fol
lowed by another crowd of tho same size, all
carrying shot-guns and pistols. The latter
company was composed of friends of the vic
tim, who encamped on a bluff overlooking and
commanding tho town. Meantime n third
band, composed of citizens who thought
the law ahould bo allowed
to take its way, and peace be prewrved,
•'even if they hod to kill every desperado in
the county to secure that end/' organized,
armed themselves and went on duty to stay
until a/ler the court had adjourned. Tho
builds composed of tho frionds of the murdornd
man and or those of his murderer, are watch
ing each other Hoscly, ono to keep tho other in
town, and th^other to keep their foes out,
while the citizens' bands stand ready to at
tempt to dean out the entire party when

Ifaw Yo*a, December 3,—The remains of n
woman were found this evening by workmen
engaged in cleaning out tho sub cellar of tho
Carlton house, on the corner of North William
and Frankfort streets. The body was decom
posed beyond nny possibility of recognition,
and had probably Inin where it was found

the wontiiu had been murdered and the
body placid where found. Tho body hnd
been covered with about six inches oi
ash ill The first floor of the building is oacu-
Jtfed by stores, each of which formerly had
communication with tho sub-celinr. Tin

place to deposit ashes, and as a playgrotiud by
boys. To-night the clerk of the hotel nud va-
- flows al<.re-keepers woro unanimous in tho as
sertion that they hrd not used the sub-collar

hoard of health, and tho body thus uncjverod.
The men had been at work about a week and
had completed about half their task. A largo
picco of (lagging partially covered tho head
end breast ot the women, and over her head,
drawn down ao as to envelop it, waa a piece
of white linen fattened to tho neck by anothor
•trip of the tame material. Various articles
of female clothing woro on tho skeleton. In

iwrted by her friends, frying
hysterically, and after kissing the fuoo

her head her eyes met those or her husband.
Tho mourner* withdrew and tho umtorluker

Correspondence Charleston News and Courier.
Ciiattaxoooji, Tcon., December fi.—Nine
ten months ago an old man, whoso general
make-up denoted n tramp or a*miner from
tho west, mad® bis appcaranco in this vicinity,
stopping at tho bouse of n gentleman named
Ellis, at Cbicamauga, twelve mile* from this
city. He gave the name of Winkles, and his
business ns that of a prospector of tho unseen
treasures of mother earth. For years ho had
delved among the gold aud silver mines oi
Nevada and New Mexico. He had been sent
by a company to Chicago to purebate ma
chinery lor smelting the precious ore*. After
retching Chicago the old man thought
ol tho stories ho had heard of gold
and silver in north Georgia and deter
mined to investigate for himseli
beforo returning to New Moxieo. lie had
reasons for believing as rich mines existed
tho south ns anywhere else, and all n<
prove the fact was its development. Mr.
Winkles walked from Chicksmanga dowoSthe
Western and Atlantic railroad watchiaf T>r
indications of bidden wealth on bis weary
tramp, until ho had reached Fort or Copullu
mountain, which is fifty miles from this city
and six miles from Spring l'ioce, Georgia. Ife
prospected on Ibis mountain, traveling to a
point about twelvo miles from tho railroad.
Here, from surface indications, tho old mm
felt tnat he had “struck it rich." The rough
mountaineers had heard sforiei of Indian*
mining in that region ; many stated that the
famous DcBoto hod on this very djwi
found riches and abandoned then.
At the present timo an old furnace nnd €fo
existence of dross show that tho locality-hod
been worked year® beforo. Mr. Winkles,
with his few associates, labored for abcflWffx
months, when his labors woro rewarded with
discoveries he thought worthy of assays
With a carpetbag full ol ®pecimen® ho wedaed
his way to this city, where they Wero ex
hibited. I’eoplo thought he waa a crauk and
laughed at bis glowing account* ot the hidden
wealth he hod discovered. Many were asked
to assist him in a financial point of vionr,<.for
ho was at the time “dead broke," but his Ottx
were pronounced “X. O." by the knowing
ones. Finally he cnltsted the nssiatanoo of
six men, each of whom agreed to furnish a
small sum of monoy with wbich^to
work tho “claim." This was nbo t
six weeks ago. The lands on whieflthe
mines were discovered woro pur
chased on conditions, and the small company
went to work with hearty good will, Con-.'*-

every step until Lc hnd emptied every cham
ber ot his pistol. He then returned to Mr.
Jones's house, and after their nems hnd
been quited made an examination oi Mr.
Jones's head. It was found that the stick had
opened the scalp, making a terrible wound,
but not a dangerous one. Yesterday morning

THAT I'KCULIAIt ACCIDENT
How aftky Rocket Come Near Casting n Jinn
Ut* Lite 1'rlday Night.
Mr. Btrtcamp, the gentleman who sustain
ed the singular accident of being shot and
nearly killed by a sky-rocket, on tho night of
tho Cleveland jubilee, is reported as having
t ntsed the greatest danger, and there la strong
ope that he will recover. The arcideut wat
a most remarkable one. 11 the mau had been
s hundred yards from a surgeon when the ac
cident occurred his death would have been
ala.i«t instantaneous, a® the Urge artery just
at the thigh joint was severed. He waa
stand near where the re works were going otf
between the custom house and the canitol. A
rocket w*i fired apd by some menus (he stick
fiew to on® side aud stuck into the man's
tody right at the riunof tbe trunk. It went
in about three im-hes. He was carried to Dr.
Westmoreland's office where another unfortu
nate was being onerated on. Dr. Westmore
land caught hold of the stick and gave it a
few shake® nud pulled it out. He then felt
fer the artery and found that it did not ap
pear to be severed, but it was ma*hcd and
(be man was cautioned that he had a
dsngmui wound. Dr, Westmorelsnd then
| iivvrdfd with the other operation. In a mo
ment Dr. Howell glanced around nt Mr.
Brancbamp and exclaimed:
•*\\ by, tbe man U (deeding!* deatht"
The blood waa spurting from the wound two
or Ihre® fret high. M—
Dr. Westmoreland laid everything aside and
esuebi the artery of the bleeding man and
held it. Tbe operation then to be performed
was a meat difficult one on account of tho fact
that the artery could not l»o gotten at. By
cutting into Ine iium'i leg, however, the ar
tery was held atd tied. The vessel ia tbe
largest in a man's t*edy ami If taft to bleed tbe
man would have been dead in a quarter ot a
minute.

. Among tno gentlemen whose services wore
enlisted in the enterprise waa Mr. tiinith Ste
venson, of Cbicamauga, who, however,
had but little confidence in-tho wandering
miner’s representations, and who did more <>r
less “kicking" v;hen called upon for an a 1U-
tional appropriation to push matter*. Finally,
to get rid ol what ho considered n “White Ele
phant," he rold his claim to Walter Andorsofi,
or Spring Place, Ga., for SSOO. A letter was re
ceived a low day* ago luting that Mr. Ander
son hnd locn ofl'crcd and refused $3,000 for his
“claim,*' which wo® only one-sixth of the
compony'a stack. ’
Mr. winkles stales that, ftt an cxncricnc^A*'
ninny yenr* in tho mlniiuJ dintrlrt* cl 4^
west, ho has seen but two “lends" he consid
er® wealthier than thoae now being worked in
north Grorgla, which hare boon immod tho
“Lrgal Tender." Those referred to are tho
Comstock, in Nevada, and ono located near
Lctdvillc. In tho mining districts of Now
Mexico, if ores are obtained that will assay
$2 j to tho ton, they are considered very rich,
•nd can be transported over tho mountains on
pack mules withTprofit.
Though Mr. Winkles would be taken for a
monomaniac on tho subject of mining, ho is
a shrewd, intelligent and educated man and
is thouroughly acquainted with, and undoubt
edly a good judge of, oro calling them goner-
ally by Mexican names. Ho Haims b> have
discovered other mines on Fort Mountain ns
rich an the “Legal Tender," but refuses to
reveal their whereabout* until he is propared
(o develop them. Ha has tackled their sur
face about eighteen miles across tho moun
tain.
Fort mountain received its uamo from a fort
that was built on its summit yeara ago by un
known hands, supposed to bo Indians. Tbt®

of Honor ut tho Candied.
Tamest Whito shot Will Cosby in the cyo
yesterday afternoon at the Union passenger
depot, nnd Cosby*will probably die.
0 he fhooting took placo ot tho Loyd streot
end of tho depot and was witnessed by a largo
crowd. .. Both parties to tho affair nro
bootblacks. Wliito is a sm^ll
jtt black negro about twelvo
years of ago nnd is well tutored
in crime. Ho can sling a boot-box around
about ns fearlessly as tho next bootblack and
cun swear a dozen oaths while tho box is
making a cinglo revolution. For thopnot
threo years he nas been on tho bootblack stand
ond ever ainco ho joined
gang has been carrying
•mall twenty-two calibre pistol. Cosby,
bis victim, is somewhat largor than White*.
Ho is about fourteen year* ot age, but notwith
standing his fewness of-years ho has had i
berth in every cell in the city prison.
Yesterday afternoon both boys were on tho
passenger depot hlocx soliciting trade. White
is appears put a polish on a pair of boots nnd
while ho was doing the work Cosby camo
along nnd kicked him. When White had
completed the task ho hunted Cosby up and
finding him at tho Loyd stroet end of tho car-
.-bed approached him nnd sold:
“You know you did, and you lio if you §;»y
you didn’t."
“Don’t ycu call me a liar," said, Cosby, ns
ho nlappod White iu the taco with his open
hand.
The boy* were in quite n crowd, and.
on by the talk of the crowd, they went for each
other in fine atylc. During the fight Cosby,
who was much larger than his adversary,
struck While on tha head with his box. Tho
lick was a rover® one, and as quick
lightning Whito jerked his pistol
from his pocket, nnd, pointing
it at Cosby, fired. Immediately after tho re
port Cosby throw his hand to Ms right cyo and
dropped to tho pavement. Tboso who were
•bout wero eo surprised at what happened that
they permitted White to escape. Tho report
ol the pistol attracted tho attention of Watch
men Scarborough, who soon caused Coshy to
bo removed to the city prison, where Dr. Mar
tin was called to sco him. An examination of
the wound showed that tho ball bad entered
Co#b/’s right cve, and that tho eyeball
had been destroyed. Dr, Martin
realized that tho hall ought to be extracted,
•nd caused Cosby’s removal to tho hospital
for tho purpose of performing tho operation.
Dr. Martin believes that tho wound will prob
ably result fatally, but cannot yet say posi
tively. White made good his escape, and not
withstanding tho fact (blit a diligonl search
wna made for him by tho police department
last night, ho could not be found.

AN ARDENT SUfTOK. *
James Waller's Trouble tflth HI* Girl—A
Relentless Parent.
From the Psvannab, Ga., News.
Among tbe indictments found by the grand
jury yesterday was one against Jninos Waller,
a young man who was committed to jail last
week bv Justice McLeod King. The indict
ment charged the prisoner with burglary at
tbe house of John A. Carter, on tho I'iao Bar
ren road, with tho intention to commit an as
sault on Mr. Carter’s daughter. Waller is a
young man, apparently a little over 22 years
old. I’pon being diked about his crime, ho
said: “I don’t know how they proposo to
moke it out agin me. Ilivooutou tho 1'ino
Barren road, about 14 miles from Savannah,
ond not far iroin Mr. Carter's house. I lived
ot Mr. Carter's about two years, when his girl
and myself bccomo iutimato. Tho old man
know of it sometime ago and has tried to run
me out of tho neighborhood. But l couldu’t
be run out by him nor induced to sign papers
to leave tho state. I'm not that kind of a
man. About three weeks ago ho told mo
could have tho girl, and she was anxious to
have n:e, but wnen the marrying timo-camo
on ho got mad aud backed out."
What waa tho matter?" asked the reporter.
Well, ho got mad just for spite, I suppose,
A little over two weeks ago ho overtook mo
on tho road and threatened to kill mo with nn
I knew ho didn’t mean what ho said, an
laughed ot him. Ho reckoned on scaring mo.
Bering me laughing, ho not madder, nnd as *
scorned 'spilin'' for n fight I said to hirn,
a young mau nnd don't want to bo seen
whipping nn old man." lie replied that ho
didn’t mean to fight, but to kill. I picked up
piece of fence rnil and made for him, when
ho ran. He said then ho would kill mo
beforo morning. The next morning ho
camo over to tho house whero I was living
and wanted me to go with him to Justico
King's, nnd added: 'I guess as you haven't
had your brcakfozt wo had better go by my
house, and perhaps your sweetheart will cook
somo for you. 1 I asked him if ho.mcnnt that,
ond l:u e«M: *Yes.’ .There word two mou
•WWWP^OWlWTOn ding'there nni l id.
‘Come, toys, we’ll take him at his word,’ Wo
went over to Carter's house, wlion tho girl
cooked tho breakfast, and her father said I
ecu Id have her in about a month and a half.
That was two weeks ogo, nnd you see I’m hero
waiting for tho month nnd a half to roll
round. Carter canto to me last
Thursday nnd said ho wauled mo and l just
went over to the justice and give myself up.
1 told the magistrate I wouldn't come to jail
with his negro constable, but I would como
with nny wbito man, so Carter's stepson, a half
brother to tho girl, come hero with me."
••Would you marry tho girl if you had a

I tell yon we’ve been wanting to marry,
nnd would but for tho old man. But if they
take me nnd her into* court before a hundred

Pastry Without flutter.
Tho American pio. has been subjected to
more unjust abuse from foreign writers than
any other of our distinctive products, il we ex
cept tho recent tirade against tho American
hog. And yet wo cannot s *y-that it has been
altogether undeserved, because of the villain
ous compound, thick, hard and heavy, that id
loo olten made to do duty as a “crust," and
which by courtesy is called “pastry.” Light,
lender, llaky and digestiblo pie-crust and all
kinds of pastry can bo made most readily by
the use of Koval Baking Powder without any
butter, or with half tho usual portion, if pro- .
ferred, or with a small quantity of lara or
other shortening as desired. Pie-crust thus
mude is much more wholcsomo and digestible,
besides being more economical and easier pre**
pared. In addition to saving all tho butter If
desired, one-third tho Hour is also dispensed
with, as tho crust it roiled chat much thinner,
tho leavening qualities of tho Royal Baking
l’owdcr swelling it to tho«rcquisito thickness.
If drippings or Fard be usad tno Royal Baking
Powder removes any unpleasant taste, render
ing the crust ns short, sweat and pleasant as if
made from tho fiucst butter. Tho30 who
know the appetizing qualities of tho genuine
Lome-mndo American pio will rejoice that by
the aid of lioyal Baking Powder fn tho pastr/
it can be made quite as digestiblo as it is deli
cious.
