Mishap to Colonel Allen.


Two or three nights since Colo
mel Robert Allen, of the firm of
Hamilton & Go. penitentiary les
sees) was Knocked down and ter
ribly bruised about the head and
face, and left senseless and appa.
rently dead on one Of the railroad
tracks in West Jackson. A col
ored man happened to discover
him, soon after, and carried him to
the Edwards House, where he has
remained since in an insensiblc
condition until to-day, when he
was first restored to conscious
ness, but so far has not been able
to give any account of the terrible
experience he went through. 1t
is supposed that he was knocked
down and robbed, and that the
robbers placed his senseless body
on the track, SO that the first train
that came along would mangle
him, and their deadly work be at
tributed to an accident.

delphia, about IS miles from here,
and while the train was between
there and London, deliberately
shot Cate and Conway dead and
wounded another man. They then
released the prisoner and took
charge of the train, running it
through London. At Lenoir's Sta
tion John Taylor and his brothers
Bob and Andy got of, and forcibly
taking some horses left for the
mountains. John Taylor was woun-
ded in the arm. This city is in in
tense excitement.
TaylOr's brother approached
Deputy Conway from behind, put
a pistol to his head and blew Con-
ways brains out. He then took
the keys from Conway's pocket
aud unlocked the prisoner, and
the latter secured the deputy's
pistol. AT this instant Sheriff Cate
rushed at the men, firing on them
and the prisoners. AS he fired
the prisoner Taylor shot him thro'
the bowels, and the other two men
shot him through the breast. The
Sheriff fell dead. The prisoner
Taklor was slightly wounded in
the arm.
A posse of 30men, with Spring
field rifles, left on special train
for Kingston. Two other posses
have also left by other routes.
Cate was Sheriff two weeks. He
was one of the most popular men
in the city, was about so years old,
and leaves a large family. Conway
was about 80 and was prominent
in local politics. Such excitement
has not been seen in Chattanooga
since the war. A special tram
will bring the bodies of the vic.
Tins here tonight. The shooting
took place about 4 o'clock.

its leading article on the attack on

to conceive of an operation more
successful and executed in a more

of the campaign, it says, was set.
tied by Gen. Wolseley with con-
currence of his superiors and
hearty acquiescence of his chief
adviser. Before he left England
there never was any question
about the canal being the basis of
operations. Before he left Eng
land he put his finger upon Tel FL
Keber, saying there Arab would
stand, and we should attack him on
the 10Th of September. We mem
ton the circumstance to show that
a great deal, which to outside OBJ

Phonetic Spelling.

We have received a small
pamphlet edited by Eliza b. Burns,
entitled ~PrO and Con, of Spelling
Reform which supports the pho
netic system by many arguments
of force and length. The fatal oh.
lection to this system is that
phOnetists would differ in their
pronunciation, and consequently
in their spelling, of many words,
and if to remedy this, any rules
were introduced, the principal OBJ
ject of the reform would be de-
feated since it is intended to ren.
der correct photography easy to
all. A few examples taken from
the phamphlet in question win il
lustrate our meaning: Thought is
reduced by the editor to "thoht,n
which would do tolerably well for
the people of Ohio perhaps,
though they generally say "thot;n
but which would hardly suit the
Southerner, who says 'thawt.' The
same may be said of drought
pronounced respectively "brot'
and ''brawt,n Few persons spell.
ling by sound would be willing to
write "propozition,n when the
correct pronunciation is "propo-
zishun," and the same applies to
every word ending in "tion,n
which our consistent authority
never spells "shun.n We see no
reason for supposing "eyes" to
to represent the true sound of
"eyes,n or weighs "weighs.n "Ize
and "wayzn are exactly the sounds
desired and unless such methods
are used Phonetic Reform is an
empty delusion. The would be
reformer spells dictionary
when, to be consistent, she should
spell "dikshunery,n "Xerzes" for
t"Xcrxcs,n which should be Zerk
ses, and, in short, does not use
her own method reasonably
Phonetic spelling, to be useful
must be simpler than our presen
spelling. That such is not the
case the phamphlet before us suf
ficiently demonstrates.

Arabl and earibaldI.

NJ. de ROssi, the telephOnist,
writes to "a morning paper an ac-
count of an interview he had last
year with Arab Pasha. He says;
" In my quality of telephonist l

Cairo. The Khedive had already
several telephones, but he could
not communicate with his harem

trail office, as he had not yet a con-

for one, and l was charged to su.

The nth Of September.
IN. O. Times-Democrat.'

IN. o. Times Democrat.
To-day is the anniversary of an
event that viii never be forgotten
by the people of Louisiana. Eight
years ago our citizens rose against
a government notorious for its
corruptions, tyranny and illegality
a government that had been foist.
ed on us by military power, and
overthrew and destroyed it after
a short struggle. Since that day,
we have been free. The Republi.
can party never fully recovered
from the defeat of September Ia.
1t has been an easy matter to
sweep them from power in all sub
sequent elections, for the party
went to pieces then, never, let us
hope, to reorganize again.
If we consider only the number
of killed and wounded, our fight
on the levee eight years ago, was
a small affair, buta victory is not
TO be measured by its losses, but
by its moral effect. There were
thousands of lives lost in the
French revolution, but the Repub-
.licans of that country commemo-
rate as the greatest event of that
national uprising the capture of
the Bastile, which was nearly
bloodless.
The effect and influence of the
Fourteenth Of September cannot
be ovcrestimated. 1t affected
not only Louisiana, but the whole
Union. The popular election
which followed some six weeks
after this, and which swept the
country with what is known as tho
"tidal wave,n is now acknowledged
to have been the direct fruit of Sep.
tcmber 14th. The whole Union
disgusted and angered with the
outragcs that had been wrought
on the people of Louisiana, and
whose only remedy had been in
armed revolt, rose against the Re
publican party which had perpe
trated these outragcs, buried it un'
der immense maiorities and install
ed the first Democratic Congress
since the war. That victory fol
the whole country was won by tho
citizens Of New Orl cans, alont
and unassisted.
Although eight years have pass
cd away, the memories of Septem
Der the Fourteenth are as brigh
and sacred rs ever. We will
never forget or fail to honor thai
rising-as just and pure and nobl,
as ever won freedom for an op
pressed people; Louisiana will re
member the men who won tha
victory, and the principles foi
which they then fought will eve
be cherished.

A Change Coming.
detroit Free Press.

A retail grocer in av illage in the
interior of the State remarked
yesterday, while in Detroit on bus
mess, that a change in the method
of advertising for customers will
soon be put in practice in cases
like his own. Instead of advert.
sing sugar, coffee and tea "at lower
prices than ever heard of in Slab
town before,n his idea is to drop
in something like this:
"During the winter my grocery
will be the headquarters of every
man in town who can point out the
mistakes in this country for the
last seventy.fve years."
He will have q full stock of can.
ned fruits and jellies, but instead
of advertising them directly, he
will say:
"Come down and sit on my coun-
ter and the heads of my sugar
barrels, and talk politics, and tell
each other what this country needs
to make her great"
He will have homeless Goldfish,
dried beef and sugar-cured hams,
but he will call attention to them
by saying:
"One hundred old settlers wan
ted every night in the week to talk
about. the drouth of '40, the panic
of '57, the frosty summer of '42,
and the warm winter of '5S. Cush.
ioned chairs reserved for the big.
gest liars.r
Instead of advertising his new
stock of syrups, or making any
blow about his cider vine gar, he
will inform the public:
"We talk horse. We discuss
religion. We jaw over politics.
We revise the Constitution of the
United States and run several OF
the departments of government
What we don't know you can't
find out anywhere else. Come and
loaf with us.u

The Georgia Pacific.

We gather the following infor-
nation in reference to the Georgia
Pacific Railroad from the Colum-
bus Index Of last week:
Our energetic townsman, Mr.. j.
+. Hudson, who has been connec-
ted with the Georgia Pacific Rail-
road from its inception, has just
returned from Birmingham, com.
ing by private conveyance through
the country. He gives us some
interesting facts concerning the
road and its prospects.
The contract for cross ties on
the road between Atlanta and Co.
lumbus has been let to Messrs.
Norvell, Leak & Co. Messrs. Hud.
son & Cooke are their agents for
the department between Columbus
and Birmingham. The contract
for graduation, tresseling, masonry,
&C., between the present terminus
and the Walker county line, has
been let to Messrs. Leake & Dunn
Brothers, who are also large con.
tractors on the same road between
Atlanta and Birmingham. The
road is to be completed to Fayette
G. II. by the first of January next
and to the Walker county line, a
distance of seventy-fve miles from
Columbus, by the first Of April
1888. The grading contractors and
the tie contractors will require al
least one thousand hands. Work
will be commenced by them al
once, and will be pushed vigor
ously.
Mr.. Hudson informs us that Bir
mingham is enjoying a genuine
boom. He considers it a second
Pittsburg for manufacturing, iron,
making nails, iron work of all kinds
and digging coal.
The crops along the road be
tween here and Birmingham are
in splendid condition. More corn
has been raised and made thar
during any season since the war
There has been too much rain dur.
ing the last two weeks and i'm con
sequence slight fears are felt ii
regard to cotton. The people
however, in view of the remark
ably fine corn crop, and the pros
poets for the early completion Of
the Georgia Pacific are in good
spirits.

Pinchback was interviewed by a
New York Sun reporter on Satur.
day last. The reporter asked /;
"What is the great issue upon
which the political parties of the
South contend9r "The offices,r
replied Mr.. Pinchback promptly
and emphatieally. "The Offices
are our sole great issue. To be
sure we make great deal of noise
about the need of internal i'm
provements, etc, but throwing all
nonsense aside, the Offices are
what bring the patriots TO the
front-and it is so everywhere.
In some places they try to disguise
the real issue, but we don't down
there"
