DUKES KILLED.

Tragedy follows tragedy in the
Dukes case that stirred all Pennsyl-
vania some months ago. 1t will be
remembered that Dukes, a lawyer
of Uniontown and member of the
Pennsylvania Legislature, who had
been charged with the ruin of a
young woman named Mutt, got into
an alteration with her father, whom
he shot and killed. Upon the trial
last March Dukes displayed the ut
most shsmelessness, end brought
additional shame upon the Mutt fam
lily, whose head be had slain, by
bringing the foulest charge against
the young woman to whose ruin he
was accused F.; but he was acquitted
by the jury on the ground of self
defense. The indignation of the PEG
pie of Uniontown was unbounded ::
be was hanged in effigy at their
meetings of denounciaton be was
Stunned by the whole community as
a monster, he could find 20 place of
shelter, and he was made the subject
of moral essays in newspapers
throughout the country. Now, after
months of wandering and wretched-
ness, Dukes has been shot to death
by the young woman Nuts brother
who rddled his body with four bul
let's. What fearful ruin has been
brought upon two families through
the cruel lust of a scoudrel who
had been graduated at Princeton
College, who bad risen to be lead~
ing lawyer of Uniontown, and who
had been elected a member of the
Pennsylvania Legislature!

OUR VIEWS OF CHEAP TRAVEL.


A very large per cent. of the peo-
pie of the South being poverty
stricken by the results of the war,
are at home hammering away with
their usual plans, almost compelled
to be excluded forever from neigh
borhoods and countries of enterprise,
by the present rates on travel. They
are making no Roadway. They see
they are worth nothing to themselves
nor the railroads. They never min
gle With people who are keeping up
with the times; they claim tina. they
would like to go North and West,
and pick up such improvements as
they could pu, to practical use, but
for the high rates on travel.
They claim, too, that our present
railroad system will list a barrel of
-four or a sack of salt, and dump
them on and off no telling how often,
and carry it about 1900 miles for
Sl.50, while if they start and get off
and on themselves, il would cost
about $40. We have decided, too,
that there is too great discrimina-
ton made between these two classes
of freight. Cheap rates stimulate
travel, and would be the means of
vast improvement and in the end the
railroads would no doub. fare better
than if they continued to pull their
empty seats waiting for q person
who has to travel through compul
sion.- Coffee County ga Gazette.
We, too, would like to see cheap
railroad travel inaugurated, but the
comparison, of carrying a sack of
salt 200 miles for q dollar and fifty
cents and a human being for forty
dollars, is indeed a striking ONE
When people are willing to occupy
box cars and be packed one upon
another like "sacks Of SALT" then
doubtless the railroads will be more
than willing to carry them l,2O0
miles for $l.50, provided there will
be no suit for damages. We imagine
it would be very comfortable to ride
like "eacks of salt" are transported
For instance with a little fellow like
CAN'T, of the Athens Wdtchmd'a
piled in q corner OF a box car, with
Fatty Harris piled upon him, and
then Henry Grady and a couple o.
lean women and Fatty Acton piled
on the next tier, aud 80 on, until the
car is "salted down" solid with blu
man flesh of all sizes, sexes an ages
from the dude to the tramp, from th'
dainty perfumed girly graduate t.
the whisky soaked topper, would seen
to be a luxury very cheap at $l.5O
To this complexion it will doubles
come at last, but we want to be tn
top "sack of salt"

A REMARKABLE COINCIDENCE.
From the Dublin Gazette.


The most remarkable phenomenon
that we have ever heard of in many
Q day, or even read of, is related US
BY Mr.. d. w. Wyatt Jr. The sto-
ry is this f: In one of Mr.. Wyatt's
fields, and upon the fence, mock
iDg bird had built her nest. He
noticed the tinty structure from it's
beginning until the mother bird had
lain Eve eggs. Then the setting
period came and Mr.. Wyatt watched
for developments When the time
came for the young to make their
appearance, Mr.. Wyatt gave the
nest daily visits, and on one morning
when be visited it, be found that
the nest contained four small mock
ing birds and-a rat. Mr.. Wyatt
was more than dumb,founded and
determined to watch. The watch
ing was kept up for a week, and
when the mother bird would bring
food or the nest was disturbed, the
four birds would open their mouths
to receive the food, and the juvenile
rat would bold up his head and
make a squealing noise as if asking
for it's share of food. At last Mr..
Wyatt killed the rat, and since that
time the old bird has assumed die
tressed attitude. When she APP
proaches the nest with food for
several moments she will fly 10 cir
cles about the nest making all the
time a cbirpiug noise as if in great
distress.
How the rat became an inmate OF
the nest is q question too much for
US to solve. Could it be that the
fifth egg really hatched q rat, or, 10
procuring food, would the old bird
have invaded madam rate household
and, during her absence, stolen one
of her young as food for her chill
dreni Let our exchanges, if they
can, solve the mystery. Certainly
the times have changed.

The celebrated Pickens county
marble quarry, which is three or
four miles from Tate and about the
same distance from Jasper, and
which was years ago a very promis-
ing industry, bat which has been
closed for years, has just recently
been leased or sold to a Philsdel>
phia company, who will Immediately
commence to open up the quarry.
Major Wallace, Eugiceer of the
NJ. & N. G. K r. and his party are
at this moment busily engaged in
surveying the most practicable route
for a railroad from the marble quar-
ry, TO Tate station, TO connect with
the NJ. & n. G K. r., at that point.
Those who are acquainted with the
Marble Quarry state that it is com,
para,ively inexhaustable in qusntity
and if not quite equal to Italian
marble, is equal if not superior to
Rutland, Vermont, marble. If this
statement is correct, and we have
90 right to dispute it, it will doubt
less prove a great blessing to the peO
pie of this section. If we have to
build q new Capitol, why not build
it from our own Georgia marbleI
Why, the very thought would be an
aspiration.

MORMONISM.

Brigham Young, Jr., is of opinion
that Mormon missionaries will send
10000 converts to the West this
year. The apostles are now buying
land in Colorado for colonization pur
poses. Nov we shall see what the
State authorities can do with the
polygamous crowd. If they are no
more successful in resisting the evil
than the general government has
been we may as we'll settle down to
the conclusion that Mormonism is an
ablished institution of the land.

HORRIBLE CRIME BY A NEGRO.

On Tuesday of last week at Rock
ford, Coosa county, Alabama, ne
gro named Jordon Corbin eUtere the
house of peaceful citizen named
Benjamin Garden and shot him while
he was lying on q bed. His wife
Jumped up and the negro shot her.
Gardens son started to the door to
give the alarm, when the negro shot
him. All three were instantly killed.
Gardens daughter, about IA years of
age, made her escape and gave the
alarm. There was no prOvOcstion
for the murders, aud it is thought
the negro intended to assault the
girl. Scouting parties are hunting
the country for the fiend. A pri
vate report says that the negro was
caught aud hanged.

A HORSE THIEF DROWNED.

Lumpkin Independent: "Ou Mon
day night last some one approached
the ferry at Florence from the Ala

the ferryman, who lives on the Geor

man answered the man, who was on

ferryman was at supper. The horse

attempted to swim his horse across.
As he approached the Georgia side
the woman warned him to turn back
as be could not get out on this side
unless he made the ferry landing.
He gradually Aoated down stream
and the horse was heard laundering
in the water. Shortly afterwards
the horse was seen to come out of
the river on the Alabama side with
out his rider, who is supposed to
have been drowned. The horse
was secured aud carried to Florence.
He bad a saddle on with strings for

There is DO use to attempt TO con-
vict the altar route thieves in Wash
ington. The republicans do not in
tend that the guilty shall be punished
On The contrary such Presidential
aspirants as Gen. Sherman declares
them to be innocent martyrs. The
departments at Washington are
honey combed with corruption, and
the people should see to it that the
thieving republican party should be
turned out of office and the demo
cratic party put in that a genuine
reform may be inaugurated.

SOUTHERN INVESTMENTS 1t SCENE
thst English capitalists appreciate
the possibilities of the south good
deal better than our northern fnan
ciers, for they are buying land in
the southern states in great quaint
ties. Their purchases in Florida are
literally immense; but they have
bought large tracts in other southern
states as we'll, and have their agents
on the lookout. They pick up plan
tations, which can be bought for q
trifle of their value, and seize upon
large uucultivsted properties, to hold
for future colonization or clearing up
The Epglish idea seems to be that a
few years hence the southern states
will be the most attractive and profit
able in this country, and they meau
to take the occasion by the foretop
and anticipate the inevitable. And
for once they are right. We have all
along urged our capitalists to turn
their attention southwark and make
their investments, where from the
nature of things there will be the
greatest growth within the next
twenty. five years.-NetO York Star
