THE DAILY TIMES.
GEORGIA, BY TELEGRAPH.
FORT VALLEY.
A ( HKINTMAN OF SAM EVENTS.
TWO HOMICIDES—-A HANGING—THE TOWN
DEFIED—SMALL FIGHTS, &0.
Special to Times by S. k A. Lino.)
Fort Valley, Dec. 26.— Fort Val
ley, though usually a quiot and peace
able little city, hus for the i>ast three
months been the scene of more fear
ful accidents and fatal calamities
than any other town in Georgia; and
yet wo have two horriblo deaths to
report which occurred in our midst
last night.
The first one—As is usual in Christ
mas, the town was alive with people
aud fire works were Hying and pop--
ping in every direction. In a short
while the fire works guvo out, and a
dozen or more little boys, desirous of
keeping up the merriment, procured
by some means a inusket eacit, and
went ovei; the town banging away in
every direction. Finally they con
cluded to lire a volley in front of
Mrs. Gray’s store-house, wherein a
negro ball was going on, and unfor
tunately oue of the guns contained a
minnie ball, which after having
passed through an inch plank struck
a negro woman, Carrie Houser, and
killed Iter instantly. She was dan
cing at the time. The ball penetra
ted the back of her head and came
out just over the right eye. Bhe
leaves u child six weeks old. It is
hard to tell who shot the gun con
taining the ball, but it is very evi
dent it was accidental. A coroner’s
jury held an inquest and returned
the following verdict: “Deceased
came to her death by being acciden
tally shot with tv gun by an unknown
party.” An investigation will be
had, and if anything further is devel
oped you shull be informed.
The second killing occurred a
short distance front town, on the
plantation of Mr. Pleasant Duke, an
old and highly respectable farmer.
It seems that Mr. Duke had some
unpleasant words with a negro, Dave
Ross, last night after supper, and
saw fit to strike him several blows on
the head with a hickory stick. Not
being satisfied, Mr. Duke went after
a shot gun, but on his return found
the negro sitting lifelessfin a chair.
A post mortem -examination was
held, and a coroner’s jury hold an in
quest, but we did not hear an authen
tic .statement of the vordiot. Mr.
Du ke is a good and influential citizen,
and the sad affair is much to be re
gretted.
Miles Josev, a notorious negro
thief and otesperado, was found hang
ing by the neck to a limb, about four
miles from town this morning. Cor
oner’s jury returned the following
verdict: “Deceased came to his
death by being hanged by the neck
by parties unknown.”
Yesterday ono of our good citizens
got gloriously drank and concluded
he would whip out the town, aud
owing to the illness of our Mayor he
succeeded admirably. Ho com
menced by whaling a darkey over
the head with a stick, but the mar
shal soon interfered and stopped the
row. Our drunken friend, however,
got more boisterous as he got drunk
er, and a policeman started to the
guardhouse with him, but by some
means he did not succeed in carry
ing him, and the next seen of him he
was sitting in his front porch with a
shot gun where he remained for an
hour and defied the town to take
him. He was not jailed, as he
should have been, and at a late hour
last night he was on the streets too
drunk to find his way home.
Several small fights occurred dur
ing the day.
Last night a drunken negro fell to
sleep on the railroad track, and hud
not Mr. P. H. Bone seen him by the
headlight of an approaching train
in time to pull him off the track, he
would doubtless have been killed.
Christmas comes too often in Fort
Valley, if such sad affairs are to be
the result. R.

New York, Dec. 26.—Tho obser

was very general. The weather, how
ever, was very unpleasant, being
moist and foggy all day, with fre
quent drizzling rains, and tho streets
were not quite so crowded nor church
services so largely attended as would
have been the case had lino weather
prevailed. The city, with its usual
liberality, provided! bounteously for
the inmates of the institutions on
Randall’s, Blackwell’s aud Word’s
Islands. Tho feast was also kept up
in the usual style at all tho charita
ble institutions, where ample tables
were provided for all. The general
celebration, however, was not with
out its disturbances. The number of
drunken and disorderly persons ar
rested was nearly double that of or
dinary days, but only the most seri
ous cases were committed, the others
being finally allowed to depart with
an admonition. During a fracas on
Christmas forenoon, on Avenue 8.,
August Zernow was shot in the abdo
men by some drunken companions,
and died before reaching the hospital.
Casper Ross and William Joan have
been arrested for the crime.
The musical festivals in tho Brook

A REMARKABLE FACT.
Notwithstanding the depression in trade and

GAWLEY Sc LEWIS

TUAlli: than ever before. The mystery Is
oasily solved. When ono visits their Stores aud

surprised to see the Immense piloa of Goods they
handle. They not only keep constantly on hand
a full supply of Hill' GOODS,NOTION* &C.,
but have one entire floor for HOOTS and
SHOKS, and another room for HATH and ready
made CLOTHING. This Stock is by far the
largoat over offered in this market, and in buy
ing in such large quantities for CASH, they of
course purchase at a great advantage, generally
from first hands, and can always offer their cus
tomers Goods at the very BOTTOM PRICES.
Their trade is now extended through Geor
gia, Alabama and Florida, and as it is found that
they sell mauy Goods at New York prices without
adding freight, their orders are steadily In
creasing. They propose to sell any Goods at
New York prices aud freight added, and they in
