Train No. 13 is the up through freight on the Georgia railroad, and passed Madison about 4 o’clock in the morning. No. 18 consisted of 3 sections, and Frank Reese was the train hand on No. 2. No. 2 had some cars to leave at Madison, and was somewhat behind. The cars' to be left were near the engine, besides which there was a long line of freight boxes compris ing the second section. Shields, in the discharge of his duty, uncoupled the cars near the front of the firkin, opened the switch, left the boxes for this place, and closed the switch and rccoupled the en gine to the balance of the train. Being behind, and the third section coming right on behind, and the up night pass enger express being also due, or nearly so, section No. 2 started at once, when Reese had coupled, and immediately be gan pulling away quite rapidly. Reese's place was back in the cab, towards which it is presumed he started. The train was a L.ng one, and by the time the cab came to Reese.the train was well under head way and moving nearly up to schedule time. Reese, lantern, in hand, stopped and braced himself, .and as the rear end came to him, spiang at the rail, when either his foot slipped pr he was too slow or too fast. At any rate, he missed his hold, struck himself against the car, and was thrown full across the track, stunned and insensible. 'Right behind, clo<e up, not over two hundred yards following tfie second section, came the third sec tion thundering along With its ponderous engine. A terrible dust was raised by the second section, so dense and deep that the engineer on the lookout in num ber three could see nothing, for the lan tern of Reese had been extinguished by his fall, so that there lay the doomed man spread out, and upon him rolled the wheels, crushing, tearing and mangling. After some of the cars had passed over him, it was discovered that something had been passed over by the engine, and the train was stopped and the dying man found and pulled out. Police Officer Joseph Few was on duty at the time, and was near the depot. He at once went to the place where Reese lay, surrounded by the train hands of No 3. Reese soon realized his awful condition, told how it hud happened, breathed a prayer and was dead. Reese had not been long on the railroad. He lived at the 53d mile post, this aide of Augusta. The remains were . prepared for burial by Agent R. H. Wright, placed in a suitable coffin and sent to Augusta on the down evening train. Reese was about twenty-five vears old. LYN UH LAW’ - The .Harderer of IheLogan FamWy Haagdd by a Mob. R. P. Wallace, the murderer of the Logan family of five persons, father mother and three children, was taken i from jail at Steelville, Mo., Tue s^a y by i a mob tv d lynched. A m<sked m °b I about one hundred men quietly gathered around the jail at midnight on Tuesday, and demanded entrance of the j This was refused and the mob batt®red down the. door. A delegation was sent to bring out the prisoner, while others were detailed to guard the roads leading to the scene. Wailace was wakened from sit ep, dragged out to the infuriated crowd, and was asked if he had anything to say. He responded by strongly pro testing his innocence, still adhering to the story that it was the negro Vaughn who was guilty. This angered the mob i more than ever, and with a shout they i produced a rope, one end of which they placed around the murderer’s neck and the other to the limb of a tree. The prisoner stih protested his innocence and appealed f. r mercy without avail. Strong hands grasped the rope, and Wallace’s body • swung into the air. Another chance was t not given him to confess, and in a few i minutes hia body was a corpse. The mob j then Aspersed and the jail officers cut down anti took possession of the body. There is no < lew to the leader* of the participants in the lynching. s I , . ; * A SHAMEFUL OUTRAGE i An Old Man Clubbed tn Death by * Foliea* ) man.

DOUGLASVILLE, GEORGIA, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 12. 1886- CAKTEHSVILLE’S NEW COLLEGE. The Town Will Boom Now—Mee tin < of Citizen*. A female college at Cartersville, Ga., is now an assured fact. Cartersville has thought of it, spoken of it, and acted about it. Rev. bam Jones, on Sunday, after a strong sermon delivered at the Methodist church before an immense crowd, raised about SB,OOO in subscrip tions for a female college here. The shares were placed at SSO each. Mr. Jones started the ball to rolling by sub scribing SI,OOO, saying that he never liked to push a man into a hole he would not go into first himself.. The builiing to be erected is to cost SIO,OOO. Messrs. John W. Akin-, Clark Baker, R. M. Pat tillo and John H. Wikle took upon them selves the responsibility of procuring the additional $2,000 in subscriptions. Among the subscribers at the church was Mr. H. F. De Bardeleben, president of the De Bardeleben coal and iron com pany of Birmingham, for SSOO. At 11 o’clock Mondav a large number of citizens met in the town hall and were organized by Rev. Sam Jones nominating Major C. H. Smith (B 11 Arp) as tempor ary chairman, and Mr. John W. Akin nominating Mr. Frank J. Taylor as tem porary secretary. The subscribers all came forward and signed i their names. The full amount required was subscribed, besides which were donations in small sums amounting to about $l5O. On motion it was determined to call the college “The Sam Jones college.” On motion Rev. Sam Jones was re quested to name the temporary board of directors, and that gentleman made the following selection: Meseers. John W. Akin, C. H. Smith, Jonn H. Wikle, W. H. Howard, Clark Baker. R. M. Pattillo, R. N. Hudson. The building committee then met and took steps to immediately confer with architects, invite plans, specifications and bids. FLORIDA NOTE-. The de?d bodies of F. L. Harris and a ; man named Bucklin, were found early one morning last week, hanging from the limb of a tree about five miles east oi Quincy. Harris was a farmer and owned a grist mill. Bucklin was his miller. One week before the new mill of J. T. Howard, a few miles from Harris’s, was i burned. The supposition is that these i parties were the incendiaries. The ver- i diet is that the parties met their death by being hung by persons unknown. A project is on foot in Tampa to erect a 200-room hotel on the buirn d district. The house will be supplied with all mod ern improvements, including gas, water works, steam heating apparatus, ele vators, electric bells, etc, It will cost between $200,000 and $300,000. A. B.

She Hire* Nejrroe* to Murder Her Has- i band. J Thursday night the store of A*. D. Owens, of" Creswell, Martin county, N. C., was entered by burglars. Owens’s dwelling joined, the store. He heard a noise and as he stepped to the door saw two burglars, one of whom raised a. gun and fired.. Forty buckshot entered the stomach of Owens, who in a few minutes was a corpse. Since that time ■ the authorities have been on the track of tho murderers. Sunday night Sheriff Sprew ell arrived at Plymouth with the w.fe of the murdered man and two negroes. Another negro, James Davenport, alias Ambrose, was shot and killed. One of the negroes made a confession the other day, as follows: That Mrs. Owens had hired them to kill her husband. She wished them to drown him, and prepared water in a barrel for that purpose. She gave him medicine to put him in a sound sleep, and t L e three negroes actually stood by his bedside ready to commit the crime. Their courage failed them. Finally, Ambrose, some nights after, en tered the store and when Qwens entered shot him. Ambrose. was’pursued and, in making a desperate attempt to kill members of the sheriffs posse, was . shot through the heart. Mrs. Owens and two negroes are now in jail at Plymouth, to await trial. A LIFE SENTENCE. Luther Ellison, who stabbed and killed Bart Wall, in Atlanta, Ga., was tried and convicted. Just eighteen minutes- from the time the jury went out they returned, and he foreman announced that the jury had made their verdict. “Read it,” said Judge Clark “We, the jury, find the defendant. Luther Ellison, guijty of murder and recommend him to the mercy of the court.” The judge then polled the jury and all I answered, “It is.” Ellison and his njother were sitting near each other, and when the verdict was read both gave way, and burst into tea; s. The scene was an affecting one. . The poor, distressed woman could scarce ; iy control herself, while the son looked i as though the last ray of hope had de j parted from him. ■ Judge Clarke told the prisoner to stand up. Ebison tremblingly arose and with tears rolling down his cheeks, faced the judge, who sentenced him for life in the penitentiary. Ellison’s counsel gave notice that they would motion for a new trial, and then Judge Clarke suspended sentence for twenty days, and Ellison was carried to jail- DEAD IN THE MARSH. *nlcl<l* of a Ba*fnr*s Man' of Charleoton, Booth Carolina. The dead body of Alexander W. Mc : Loy was found Friday afternoon in a i marsh on Cooper river, three miles from - Charleston, 8. 0. Mr. McLoy left home and went to the gunpowder magazine, near which his body was found. When he reached there he took off his coat and vest and cut his throat with a knife. Aft r doing this he walked a distance oi thirty feet and tumbled into the marsh, where he was found, attention being at tracted to the spot by a flock of buzzards hovering near. Mr. McLoy was a mem ber of the late firm of McLoy, Rice & Co., which was compelled to cease busi ness on account of the death pf Mr. Rice, the New York member of the firm. He had lost all he owned, and had been in despair since his business closed. It is supposed that mental aberration, brought on by despondency, caused the suicide. Mr. McLoy was about fifty-five years old, and one of the most highly respected men in the community. He left a wife and three children. DYING of a broken heart. There is a queer case of broken heart in Birmingham, Ala., now puzzling tiri physicians. George and Mose Clements are colored twins aged 17 rears.

You have no reason to complain in the mat ter of health, Evercat.” “No. You are correct,” replied Ever est. “I have a recipe,” he added; “sure thing every time.” “Hey? Recipe? What is it? “H—m. Might tell you. Had to pay the doctor for it myself. Confidentially, mind!” and Evereat leaned over to whis per impressively in his friend’s ear: “Two things. Make it a rule never to ; eat them with dinner. Consequence, al- ■ ways sure of good appetite.” Evereat hesitated, tilted back in his chair,and cautiously scanned his friend's features, seemingly debating with him •elf whether or not to divulge his re cipe. “Well—what—what is it you don’t eat with your dinner?” inquired the gentle- j man, somewhat nonplussed. Evereat leaned forward and again ’ whispered slow ly and impressively in his ’ friend’s ear: “Breakfa-t and supper, you ■ greenhorn!”— Lynn Union. They Found the Bore. A pretty young mamma, with a little girl by her side nearly as pretty as her self, was being entertained by a male stranger, who had strucK up an acquaint ance through the usual and always con- ; venient mediumship of the little girl. The stranger did all the talking. He was one of those men who think they know everything, but only rarely get a good chance to toll it. The lady answered only in monosyllables. The little girl listened patiently and demurely for a time, and then began to fidget about in J her seat. I in&liy, as the stranger stopped for a breath, she said: “Mamma, you’ve found one, ain’t I you?” I “What, my dear?” “W'hy, don't you remember what you ! I told papa when he said you’d be lone i some on ihe cars?

Leisurely strolling into the elegant drawing room came the family j dog, a large and intelligent type of the Newfoundland breed. It was a warm ! - evening and the dog came in with his mouth open and bis tonjpie protruding I from his mouth. He made directly for the hostess who manifested great uneas iness at the first sight of the unexpected animal. As he came nearer the young woman dropped her fan, mounted first the heavy upholstered chair and then the | centre table. Seeing the unusual performance, the | young man followed suit and was soon | on top of the marble mantelpiece, to \ which place of safety he invited his { hostess.

Rhymes for Borrowers. Some people have a strange way of designating their ownership of books. Os course youtremember, when a school boy,. what ridiculous doggerel some of the scholars wrote in their*. - A* for ex ample : “This book is John Smith’* My fist is another: You touch me And you’ll feel the other.” And again: “Steal not this book, my honest friend, For fear the gallows’ll oe thy end.” A great many grown-up children have adopted the custom in a graver mood. fThe two verses commonly used are: i “If thou art borrowed bv & friend, Right welcome shall he be. To read, to study, not to lend, But to return to me.” And this : “Not that imparted knowledge doth Diminish learning’s store; But books, I find, if often lent, Return to me no more.” There is one found in a book formerly belonging to a well-known resident of New York: “Any one ffiay borrow, but a gentleman returns.” David W. Jayne's i books have the following Scriptural i quotation: “Go thou rather to them that | sell, and buy for yourselves.” The fol lowing rather severe lines were used by a Massachusetts man: i “Stern power of Justice, lift thy wand In spite of mercy's look;. Strike him who with presumptuous hand Purloins this valued book.” ’Aaron Putnaip,who flouri-hed inMed ' ford, Mass., about one'hundred years ag >, used these lines: “The wicked bor row, but do not return again. See thou art notone of that numb r.” Duncan C. Pell, of New York, had this rather churlish motto, not at all in keeping with his character: “He does not lend his books.’.’ W. J. Snelling, one of the i early editors of the Boston Herald, hid these instructions: “Do not turn down ' the leaves to mark the place, but put in a slip of paper. Do not give the book to children for a plaything. Handle not with dirty hands. Return the book when you have read it.” Well, where ' 1 .■gpM,fgoing, writes Kate TluiU RWnebGoTy else spoke of Kalamazoo and i wondered whether it had ever been dropped into poetry by any nonsense rhymer. “Nobody has ever had the courage,” replied another body; “though • whv not try, sin e Mrs. Browning has ’ made ‘modena’ rhyme with ‘God in a’?” I halamizool Kalama co! the wo d op pressed me.

It has a middle situation in the I State, but is generally ranked as a north ern county. The summit of the Sierra ‘ Nevada runs through the county, the towns of Truckee and Boca being east of those mountains, and within Nevada county. The chief industry is mining, although i fanning is carried on with profit in the western part of Nevada county. No equal area in the world has produced more gold than has Nevada county, and no region known bos the promise of an equal mining permanency. The gold is found in both quartz ledges and gravel beds. The great gold-gravel region of the county is in the townships of Bridgeport, Bloomfield, Eureka, Little York and Wa hlngton. These are of immense ex tent and of incalculable richness. These beds were worked by the hydraulic pro cess for the mist part, and enormou* vnlnes of gold were washed out of them. I The hydraulic process of working mine* is now under the ban of the law, but doubtless away will be found for law fully taking the gold from those rich gravel beds. There are some gravel mines in Nevada, Grass Valley acd Rough and Ready townships, but trey are not eitensive, excepting at Mooney Fl.it. in Hough and Ready, where is the ex ten mono! the famous gravel leads of Tim buctoo, Smartsville and Sucker Flat.
