Constitution.
Albany, Ga.. August 25.—Early
yesterday morning a telegram was
rtcjivel from the sheriff of Terrell
county for the military of this city
co come at once; that their services
were needed to secure the prompt i
hanging o° George Clarka alias
Jones, me negio wno was recently -
found guilty of rape, and was sen
tenced to be hung to-day at 12 m., as
the negroes of rhe county and adjoin- i
ing counties nad threatened that
they would rescue him i£ they hid to ;
kill every citizen in the ■ ity and burn •
the town of Dawson. Great excite- I
ment prevailed, as their intentions i
were made known to the public gen- I
erally. i
THE GOVERNOR NOTIFIED. i
The governor was telegraphed to 1
from both Dawson and Albany for
instruciiona, but not being io reach
of the wires, no reply was received 1
Hom him until nine o’clock last night, 1
when a telegram wt ■ received horn j
the adjutant general ordering Cap
tain Woolfolk, of the Guards, logo ‘
at once. Before the telegram wif re- 1
reived from the adju'ant general. 1
the sheriff ot Terrell county uad 1
eiegraphed the milir ry to come im- !
mediately, that the cjuuty would pay 1
all exj uses it the State refused to do 1
so. 'Tue officers made known these
tacts to their respective companies, ■
and everything w> s Heid in readiness '
and in receipt ot the telegram con
veying the orders, the Albany Guards ’
and the JaeKson Light Artillery, with
a battery of oalv two guns, boarded
the train and promptly moved off.
THE TRAIN WRECKED.
About one miie from me city, after
they had got under headway, the .
engineer, Mr. Pate, discovered that
the track was considerably obstructed
but too late co prev ot an accident.
He immediately put on his air brakes
acid reversed nis engine. Mr. John
Dedrick, tireman, jumped from the
engine and was painfully hurt—not
seriously buit. Air. Pate reserves
great credit tor the calmness dis
p.ayed. He stucu to bis engine until
the last moment, when he jumped
and was fortunately untuit. The
engine, baggage car and flout truck
of the passenger coach wmeh con
tained the Albany Guards, were
thrown trom the track. The rear
coach and a tiat car, which contained
the two pieces of artillery, only re
mained. Fortunately no otheis were
hurt. Not much damage was done
the engine and the cars, but the track
was considerably damaged.
The military remained at the wreck
and awaited the down passenger,
which was due at Albany at eleven
twenty-eight, which was waved down
and awaited the up train which left
here at three o’clock this morning,
and iracsferred passengers at the
wreck. The companies boarded the
down train and proceeded back to
Dawson, where they arrived in safe
ty. It is very evident that as many
as five men figured in the felonious
attempt to wreck the train, as the
tracks of men were plainly observed.
Every effort is being made to ascer
tain who the participants were, and
hopes are entertained tnat they are
on their track. The artilleiy was
retur -u, as the pieces could not be
transferred.
THE PRISONER HANGED.
When the troops arrived in Daw
son they found a great state ot ex
citement, which was soon awed into
quiet by tneir presence. They re
ported to Sheriff Thornton. Joined
oy CLe College Guards, numbering
forty mtn, the whoie party formed a
hollow square, and taking the pris
oner in me center marched to the
gallows. Rev. Barney Alams, col
ored, briefly addressed the multitude.
He sang a uymo and offered a pray
er. The prisoner manifested but lit
tle concern. He said nothing public
ly, but through the minister admit
ted his guilt, and requested that
none siiould follow in nis steps.
He said he was ready to die and
wanted to be buried in a decent
place. At twenty minutes Ito twelve
tbs drop fell, and in thirteen minutes
ihe physician pronounced life ex
tinct. His neck was broken. The
body was taken down and burled at
the gallows. All is quiet now.
THE CORRESPONDENCE WITH THE GOV
ERN 08.
It chanced that Governor McDaniel
was out of the city. The Hist dis
patch asking for troops was delivered
to Mr. Howard Palmer, who for
warded it to Social Circle with the
request that it be sent by messenger
to me Governor at Monroe. As soon
as the Governor received it he tele
graphed iostiuctions to Mi. Palmer,
who in turn ordered out the Albany
Guards, whose prompt action proba
bly prevented a riot. The following
was sent last night from Atlanta:
Atlanta, August 25,1884.—Captain
Tut Woolfurk, Albany, Ga.: In be
half of the State the Governor thanks
you ant your command tor your
prompt and patriotic response to his
■ order to aid the oivil authorities at

Developing the Country.
Sivan* ih News
The people of the South are thor
oughly in earnest about developing
the varied res urces of their section.
The remerkeble increase of our man
ufacturing interests has often been
remarked upon. It is nevertheless
true that manufacturing is yet in its
infancy in the South, and it is prob
able that the next decade will show
a much more wonderful increase
th tn the last.
One thing th it retards the devel
opment of the manufacturing inter
ests of many plicss is the want of
appreciation of the value and power
of 00-operaticn and tbe inaugura
tion of manufacturing enterprises
by manv small stockholders. The
psople are r oo much disposed to de
pend on capitaiis’s. Towns will of
ten offer Urge bonuses and valuable
franchises to secure the investment
of capital in manufactories, which,
when firmly established, are often
used to the disadvantage of the
towns which helped to build them.
There f s scarcely a village of five
hundred inhabitants in the South but
should have one or more factories,
owned and controlled by the people
of the village and surrounding
country. Almost, any community can
raise $50,0f0 $100,( ) with which to
establish such enti-rprisos. Say sub
scriptions to stock are secured for a
sl< 5,000 enterprise as follows:
20m«ntak *IOOO such *20,000
It i men take *f). each 5). .00
201 men take 111 each ? 1.l '0
21'3 men take COeacn 10,0(0
520 men *l< 1,0)0
Let it be understood that the stock is
to be paid for in easy installments,
say ten per cent, every four or six
months. The first installments of
SIO,OOO will secure the necessary land
—possibly a water power. The next
installment will procure the neces
sary materials. By the time the
building can be erected the third in
stallment becomes due and a portion
of the machinery may be ordered,
and by the time it can be manufac
tured the fourth and fifth install
ments can be collected and the
machinery ordered paid for. The
sixth call will pay freight and
tor placing the machinery In position.
The seventh will secure material and
start the wheels to rolling with a
healthy cash working capital. The
eighth, ninth, and tenth, as they are
called in. will add to the machinery
and buildings or other features as
may be required. Thus, in from tnree
to five years almost any thriving
business town may establish a first
class manufacturing enterprise with
out feeling it is burdened. A large
number of stockholders may pay
their assessments in land or materi
als or labor. The better class of
workmen might take stock, and al
low a percentage of their wages to go
in payment therefor.
One town or community might
have a cotton factory, another a
woolen mill, another a wagon facto
ry, another a flour mill, another a
furniture factory, another a fertilizer
factory, and another an iron mill,
each in accordance with its natural
resources and advantages.

BLAINE’S LIBEL SUIT.
THE INDIANA EDITOR STANDS HIS
GROUND.
Indianapolis, Ind.. August 23.
Senator Daniel W. Voorhees was in
the city yesterday consulting wi h
Editor John O. Shoemaker, of the
Sentinel, regarding suit fordamages
tor defamation of character brought
by J. G. Blaine, against that paper.
Tn« result of the conference cannot
be ascertained, but it is certain that
Mr. Voorhees has been called to
Shoemaker’s defense, and will be his
chief attorney in the case. Mr. Shoe
maker says he will insist on tbe pres
ence of Mrs. Blaine at the trial, as
well as that of her husband. Senator
Harrison, Mr. Biaine’s principal at
torney, says the prosecution will be
unable, under the law, to take any
further steps until the defense his
filed an answer to tbe complain t, for
which the law allows 15 days. Mr.
Shoemaker said at the outset that he
was willing and anxious that tbe
ease should come to trial speedily,
but has not yet filed his answer,
which would greatiy expedite mat
ters.

FOO CHOW BOMBABDED.
THE FRENCH FLEET FIRE ON THE CITY SIX
HOURS.
Shanghai. August 24—The Foo
Ohow arserai was destroyed yester
day after three hours’ bombardment
by Admiral Oourbet’a squadron.
Several Chinese gunboats were sunk
and two escape I, The European set
tlement was not disturbed. The
French fleet sustained no damage
during the bombardment.
Pabis, August 24.—The bombard
ment of Foo Ohow began at 2 o’clock
in the afternoon and ceased at 8 p. m.
O ily one Chinese battery replied.
Tberepot that two French vessels
sunk during the engagement is un
confirmed.
Shanghai August 24.—0 f the Chi
nese men-of-war which escaped the
French bombardment at Foo Ohow,
one was str inded and had her back
broken. Tbe other met with no mis
hap. The French recommenced fir
ing to-day, directing their shots
against the pagoda. It is surmised
that tbe object of the renewed attack
is to entirely obliterate the place.
Th French transports are shelling
the vill iges on the heights around
the ars nal.
London, August 24.—A Times Foo
Ohow dispatch, dated Sunday. 3p.
tn., says the French e relied the bar
racks and camp near Quantos. No
resistance was made. Tue consulate
buildings were looted by Chinese sol
diers, who were in uniform and were
armed. The French chief of staff re
ports the French loss at six men.
Tbe Times correspondent believes
this estimate to be untrue. An Eng
lish pilot was killed during the scare
Saturday night, when the French
opened their heavy Are, and it is be
lieved sunk one of their own torpedo
boats. The bombardment is describ
ed as of the most sickening charac
ter. The Chinese fleet lately on the
Mia river, with the exception of two
ships, has been blotted out. No sur
render was allowed to sinking and
disabled ships, Their guns having
b en silenced, they were shelled for
hours. Admiral Courbet opened fire
at 2 p. m., and the Chinese replied al
most simultaneously. The dockyard
arsen il fired immediately with only
partial success. The eleven vessels
forming the Chinese fleet were most
ly light river and coast transports,
and were really toys. The French
had eight heavily armed ships,
namely: The Volta, Dugay, Trouin,
Dalalnlng, Arplc, Vipere, Loux and
Villars. Several Chinese gunboats
maintained a bravely desultory fire
for about a quarter of an hour, when
the survivors of their crews escaped
overboard. The combat was practi
cally finished in seventy minutes.
Toe superior French artillery made
the contest, after disabling the Chi
nese vessels, no fight. It was a mas
saei j. This is the opinion of every
spectator.
Two gun boats, carrying eighteen
ton guns, of the Chinese fleet, fought
well, one sinking near the English
msn-of-war Champion, while the
other, stationed above the junks,
made a good stand. The French kept
up the fire on the arsenal, the neigh
boring buildings and villages until 5
o’clock in the afternoon, although
resistance from the shore batteries
ceaeed about 3 o’clock. Some French
and Chinese ships were engaged in
close proximity to the English men
of war, Vigilant and Champion. At
S o’clock Sunday evening three burn
inggunboats floated down thestream,
one carrying the French colors. Nu
merous tire j uoks, bl zing in a dan
gerous manner, imperiled the Eng
lish men-ot-war, but were fended off.
One English bark was saved by the
English men of-war. The French
torpedo boats exploded the sterns of
the Yong Too transport and two
sinking guuboats. The scenes on
the river as the dead and wound
ed floated by were terrible. The
English saved many of the wounded.
Tne torts lower down have not yet

pondent, the only newspaper repre
sentative present, was on board the
Champion.
AN APPARENT REPULSE.

clads entered the mou h of the river
this afternoon at 2 o’clock. The fort
opened flee with Krupp cannon while
the ships were three miles away.
After an hour’s engagement, the
French retired. The Chinese Are was
good.
