THE SOUTH. CONDENSED FACTS, ARRANGED IN READABLE SHAPE. LIGHTNING PLAYS HAVOC EVERYWHERE COTTON STATISTICS —SUICIDES —RAIL- ROAD CASUALTIES, ETC. A iabainn. A passenger train on the NasbvMle road ran into a buggy just east uf §tevenson, on Sunday iu which was a man, his wife and child. The man was killed and the woman and child badly hurt. Because Simon Isaacs, of Birmingham, (formerly of Atlanta, Gu.) a soda wai l vender, did not address John Williams in a manner agreeable to Williams, he whipped out a pistol and shot Isaacs three times, killing him. An hour be fore the fatal affray, Williams attempted to shoot another man. At Day’s Gap, on Tuesday, Marshal Wfliiamson and Deputy Lee Williams went to the house of James Gurgins to arrest him.

Governor Seay ordered the Etowah Rifles of Gadsden to the scene of the trouble. Miss Ida Fulton committed suicide at Brewton. She loved against the judg ment of her parents, not wisely, perhaps, but too well. Miss Fulton was only about seventeen years of age, accomplish ed and attractive and she belonged to one of the best families of the place. In the note to her heart-chosen sweet heart she gave him her ring and request ed him to kiss her once in death before burial. Her engagement with the man chosen by her parents had gone so far that her wedding trosseau had been pre pared, but there was a funeral dirge in stead of a wedding march. North Carolina.

New cotton has arrived at Louiiuburg packed in cloth, and inquiry bas been made of insurance agents who say that they can not take fire or marine risks on bales of cotton of this kind. Tenne*iire. Because the colored people of Chatta nooga were denied admittance to East Lake Park, they have bought a park for their own use. An explosion took place in the Chatta nooga ice factory on Monday, which frightened a team of horses, causing them to run off. The driver, Adam Schearer, was killed by the wagon run ning over him. At the meeting of the cotton planters of West Tennessee and North Mississippi held at Memphis, it was resolved to de cline do use jute bagging at present pri ces aud to adopt any substitute for the same that could be found. A large cave has been discovered at Red Boiling Springs. The entrance is large enough to drive in a two-horse wagon and turn around inside. It has already been explored four miles, some of the passages being so small that it would seem impossible to pass through- Five weeks ago, Policeman W. T. Rus sell, of Chattanooga, shot and killed Jesse Bishop, a negro, for resisting ar rest. Chief of Police Howard received the following communication, written in red mk: “Death to Russell and all police that shoot a negro.

Spicer Curlett, an ex-member of the Legislature of Virginia, has been forced to resign his position as common wealth attorney of Lancaster county, having recently sent a challenge to a man of the county to mortal combat.

The Jacksonville relief committee feed About 200 people a day. The authorities of Tampa officially de clare there is no yellow fever there. Indian River lemons are proving a powerful factor in fighting against yellow fever. A severe storm visited DeLand. A small cyclone passed north of the town. It struck Capt. A. D. Hilton’s house, a two-story frame building, and literally kuned it bottom side up. South Carolina Anderson is hard at work working up x cotton-factory project. While a party of negroes were out beat driving in Santee swamp, near Manning, Bueii Dukes snot aud killed Berry Tayloi fora bear. Dukes was on a stand and Berry was coming through a cane brake ffiout fifty yards from where Dukes was standing. As he emerged from th 6 canes, Dukes fired, hitting him in the head with four buckshot. A feiv weeks ago a passenger train due at Rock Hill on the Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta Railroad was wrecked by a piece of iron beiug placed en the track. There were several wounded aud the Sremtm killed. Horace H. Johnson, a Pinkerton detective, has succeeded in getting evidence enough to cause the aF rest of Robt. Springs, Tony Hutchison and Eli White, all colored. The secretary of the state board of health, has received additional and im portant information concerning the alarming epidemic of black measles, which is prevailing among the negroes on the plantations along the Santee river, in Georgetown! county. On the planta tion of Mr. Hazard, where over thirty negroes died from the disease, and it is said to be spreading so rapidly that an entire cessation of work on the grow ing crops is feaied. The crops consist mostly of rice which is now in the milk and requires careful watching. There is promise of a war among the rice mills at Charleston. The battle was begun by the Chisolm mill, which an nounced a reduction of tolls for milling to 6 cents per bushel. Up to 1886 the price was 12 cents a bushel, 6 cents for barreling and J cent for weighing, a to tal of 18.1-2 cents. In 1886 therk w r as a reduction to 8 cents for milling and 5 cents for barreling, a total of 18 cents. The charges for weighing have been abolished. The present reduction by the Chisolm makes the rates 6 cents for milling and 5 cents for barreling, a total of 11 cents. There are five mills in Charleston, all of which do an active bus’aess. A SMALL WAR. A Trinidad, Col., special says: What may prove a long and bloody struggle opened to-day on the Maxwell Grant at Stonewall, forty miles west of Trinidad. The sheriff ’s posse sent to keen the peace was met by armed settlers in numbers estimated at from 200 to 500 men. The settlers demanded the arms of the posse, which demand was refused. The posse took up quarters in the Pooler hotel, a large frame building. The settlers en deavored to force an entrance when the posse opened fire. R. R. Russell, one oi the oldest settlers, fell dead, and two or three others were wounded, and the building was soon riddled with bullets.i The sheriff is gathering men in numbers) to go to the relief of the besieged posse.! It is believed that the building will bd burned and a dozen besieged deputies! put to death. The settlers come from! tributaries of the Pugative River, Ver-j mejo, New Mexico, and also from thej Costillo grant in those mountain fas-| nesses. It seems useless to oppose themj with either militia or regular troops.j Public sentiment in Trinidad is entirely with the settlers. The settler cavalry composed of both Americans and Mexi-i cans. The Mexicans are painted as foif war. A BAD LOT. A Chinese organization of so-called anarchists, over 100 strong, has beer formed in New York. The purpose of this strange Mongolian organization it ostensibly for “mutual protection, ’ but its real object is to get possess on of tlie Chinese municipality by foice. The principal and most remunerative o.’ these revenues is obtained from the forty or more gambling dens that are now paying the municipal treasury at the rate of $lO per mon'h per den. This is divided by two rival organizations—the Municipal Council and the Lun Gee Tong Society — e;’ch getting about S2OO per month regu larly, But these Mongolian anirchists propose now to obtain entire control of all these revenues, and they began a few days ago by invading, in a body, the rooms of the Lun Gee Tong Society, driving its members out with clubs and nearly killing Goa Her, one of the prin cipal members. STOPPED, Orders were given out on Monday to contractors to stop work ou the Duluth, South Shor and Atlantic extension to West Superiors. That road ha- made an agreement to u-e the Northern Pa ific tracks. The immediate cause of this is on account of President Cle eland’s re taliatory message, as the South Shore is entirely owned by the Canadian Pa cifie. SCUTTLED HER. The steamer Persian Monarch., rescued a number of sailors fr. m the sinking bark (. >iie, and took them to New if. rs The captain of the Gyfic deliberately scuttled his ve-sel and saturatedjher wit!, parafire preparatory to tiring her, requir ing the crew to declare that she had fit - teen feet of water in her ho!4, which statement was not true. OVER THE GLOBE. WHAT THE ELECTRIC WIRES POUR INTO OUR EARS. LABOR NOTES—ACCIDENTS ON SEA AND LAND—TERRIBLE ACCIDENTS CN TIIE RAILROADS—NOTED PEOPLE DEAD.

Loss SIOO,- 000. Partially insured. Cholera is ragiug in Presque Isle county, Mich., and the people are dying like sheep, with no doctors in the imme diate vicinity. Nine persons died in one day. .-j> **>-v During a pole raising on Tuesday near Morris, Otsego county, N. Y - ., a cannon was discharged prematurely, killing John Dickson, Albert Sergeant and Fred Sage. The National Prohibition headquarters at Fifth avenue and Fourteenth street, New York, were formally opened Mon day. Heretofore the Prohibitionist head quarters have been iu Chicago. The first local option election in New Jersey under the law passed by the legis lature of last Winter was held in Cum berland county on Tuesday and resulted in a majority of 1,744 for anti-license. George W. Waldron, one of the own ers aud manager of the Waldron bank, of Hillsdale, Mich., absconded, taking wiih him money and securities variously estimated at from $60,000 to SBO,OOO.

The white men were Josiah Lewis and C. Bunce. The building was biowu to atoms. The empiess of Russia, princess of Wales, and all royalties of Denmark, met at the palace of the dnke of Cumberland at Gemunden, in Austria. It is surmised that the meeting related to the project of the czar and Emperor William to create a monarchy of Bulgaria and Roumelia, with the duke of Cumberland as king. The Berlin, Germany, newspapers arc silent on the subject of the arrests of so ciulits, which are made daily. The par ticular prison in whict arrested parties are confined is crowded now with men and women, charged with the propaga tion of socialist doctrines and the utter ance of seditious cries. The third council wt»c held at Imaco, Col., between the Indicu commissioners and the Indians. The Indians received the overdue gratuity money, and it was expected this would put them in good humor and facilitate the business in hand. Speeches were made on both sides, but the chiefs were obstinate and would not con c ent to removal. The false work for building the super structure of the Chesapeake & Ohio Rail way bridge over the Ohio between Coving ton and Cincinnati was swept away by a great raft of drift wood that had accumu lated at its base. The losers are the con tractors, the Phoenix Biidge company. They estimate their loss at nearly $200,- 000. Two weeks more low water would have made them safe. An Evansville, Ind., special is to the effect that all trains have been stopped on the Mackey system of railroads, owing to the strike declared agaiu9t the roads therein embraced by Chiefs Arthur and Sargent. The system includes the Peo ria, Decatur aud Evansville; Evansville and Indianapolis, and Evansville and Terre Haute roads, having a total length of 700 miles. The trouble began some weeks ago out of discriminations said to have been made by Master Mechanic Smith against the brotherhood men. Chiefs Arthur and Sargent came to the scene of action and temporarily settled the matter, but repeated snubs, it is al leged, have precipitated a strike whieh includes all engineers, firemen and switchmen. GOVERNMENT RELTPF. Information has just been received at Jacksonville, Fla., from J. H. Stev. ns, agent of the Savanna \ Florida & Western Railway, that the United States Govern ment has chartered a train from the road and will run it daily from Jacksonville to Boulogne, leaving Jacksonville at about 1:30 p. m., each day. Passage to the camp will be provided by the government free, the only requisite being certificates from the board of health as to freedom from disease. Passengers must, howev er, satisfy the board that they intend go ing there simply for quarantine purposes. Alter a period of ten days, during which the passenger is kept at the government's expense, lie is discharged and may go on to any part of the country at wiU. YELLOW FEVER NOTES. Governor Perry, of Florida, tele graphed to Governor Goidon, of Georgia, to ascertain if there was any truth in the report of the proposed conference with Governor Goidon, of Georgia, with a view of putting ou a strict quarantine at Waycross, and received a reply that he had not heard of it. The fact is that Waycross sent back several carloads ®f passengers and baggage on Sunday, hav ing ordered a strict quarantine o» through traffic of every kind. This hems Jacksonville in ou every hand. Thu only way of egress is to go to Bou logne quarantine camp, remain ten days, an l upon the certificate of health be re leased free to go where one chooses. The Jacksonville board of health, re scinded its order, ami will now publish niiincs itnci rcssc* 3 of sirk Thfir© is great satisfaction and relief at this decision. The city lo >ks more desolate than ever. Fully 15,000 people have left it. The quarantine is complete, with' scores of hospitable cities in Georgia,! Alabama, Tennessee, and the Caroliuas swinging their gates wide open; not a' person in Jacksonville is permitted to set foot upon an outgoiug car. Great ex citement prevails, and there has Ueenj some talk of tearing up the Savannah, Florida and Western tracks, the argu ment being that if that road refuses toj take passengers out, the citizens may very properly refuse to let cars come in. Pre-ident Mitchell, of the Jacksonville Board of Health, is in favor of giving the widest publicity to all news, but it seems that newspapers are not held in much esteem by one or two others. If these concealed cases are yellow fever, then some one is criminally responsible. If not, the public should know the exact facts iu the matter, for concealment and the loss of confidence would create a panic that would be very pernicious in its effects. It is suggested as an explan ation of the act ion of the papers in sup pressing the names of the victims, that, as the aristocracy were catching it, they did not like their names mingled with canaille —Tom, Dick and Harry. The Savannah, Florida & Western Railway has reduced the number of its trains in and out of Jacksonville to the minimum. The train leaving Jackson ville at 5 p. has been discontinued till further notice. The train formerly arriving in Jacksonville at Ba. in. has also been discontinued. As soon as yel low fever broke out in Jacksonville, Mr. George W. Haines, superintendent of the Brunswick & Western Railroad, whose headquarters is iu Brunswick, set out for that place to look after the em ployes there. Two days ago he started back but was stopped at Waycross by Ihe quarantine inspectors. He appealed to the Brunswick board of health by tel egraph, but that body would not waive any of the fifteen days at quarantine. Mr. Haynes telegraphed to have the of fice of the system that can be moved temporarily transferred to Waycross. The Spanish steamship Castelln, tiie first of the cotton fleet known as ocean tramps, arrived at quarantine at Charleston, 8.C., from Havana. At a meeting of the board of health a resolution was adopted prohibiting all vessels from feverin fected points to come to that city until after November, and that the Castella should be quarantined for fourteen days. Two passengers from Live Oak, near Jacksonville, were captured iu Charlig leston, having run the blockade. They were at once sent over to the lazaretta, where they will be kept fourteen days. The board of health of Brunswick, Ga., refused to let the Mallory line steamships run in their vessels there until ufterthey have been quarantined twenty days and fumigated three times is the meantime. IMPORTANT. A very important discovery has been made by which one of the greatest privi leges now enjoyed by Canada will imme diately cease, by order of the Secretary of the Treasury, and that is the right ofc Canada to ship her products in bond through the territory of the United States for export from the ports of the United States. The statistics show that of the $270,000,000 worth sent both ways during the past six years at least $100,000,000 worth was in Canadian products exported via ports of the United States. DEMENTED MILLIONAIRE. Robert Garrett, the railroad magnate, has been placed in the Bloomingdale, N. Y., lunatic asylum. It took six men to control him before his confinement. Mr. Garrett’s delusion is that he has Jay Goul 1 conlined in a cell, “where,” to use his own language, “I intend keeping him until he rots.” Ilis perverted mind makes him believe that while he was asleep several of Gould’s minions, armed with knives and revolvers, came to his bedside aud threatened to kill him if he did not release their chief. THE CROPS. f Reports from Arkansas, Kent ucky, Tennessee, North Carolina and South Carolina indicate that the weather has been favoiable to a i crops. High winds aud heavy rains did considerable damage to growing crops in Louisiana and Mis sissipi. High winds also damaged corn in Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Penn sylvania, Ohio and New Jersey. But the abending rains will improve the crops. A JOKE. The French police have received in structions to discover the authors of an ingenious political trick, which consists of defacing the coins of Napoleon 111, and substituting the name of Boulanger I, Empereur, with the date 1838.
