dipping its bill in glass of ginger ale
whenever customer is willing to pay

Trailed by Bloodhounds.

The keen scent of bloodhounds as
they followed devious course through
this city and to point about half a
mile up the river, says a,Columbus,
Ga, dispatch to The New York World,
attracted the attention of the people
yesterday. Anew moments later several
horsemen following gave evidence of
fatigue from a long chase. Suddenly
the hounds came to stand, and col
ored woman, babe in arms, stood terri
fed and unable to move. IA little way
into a clump of bushes was seen a col
ored man who was recognized by
Sheriff Burkett, of Decatur county. and
whom one of the horsemen said was
Moses Keaton, the maraerer of the
Goodwin family, in Mitchell county.
Grasping the shotgun which he had
stolen on the night Of the murder,
Keaton was taking aim, when Sheriff
Bnrkett pushed the muzzle of a Brit
ish bulldog into his face and Keaton
sullenly surrendered.
The story of the chase is one of the
most exciting on record. On the morn
ing OF Wednesday, one week ago, Mr..
Alexander Goodwin went to the house
of his brother, Stephen Goodwin, who
was q bachelor and wealthy stock
raiser. All was still inside, and on
opening the door he found his brother
lying dead on his bed in pool Of
blood, with his head crushed and his
brains oozing out. Mrs. Gregory, his
housekeeper, was lying on another bed
10 the same ,room, with dreadful
fracture ia her, temple, and was 9th
erwise badly maagled. Dick Gregory,
her son. was found in an adjoining
room. lying dead from a similar
wound: There We're no signs of rob
berry about the house. Mr.. Godwin's
trousers were found on chair by the
bedside with money in the pockets.
His gun was missing. and his horse
and buggy were also taken away.

Intense excitement followed the dis.
covery. A local reward of $500 was at
once offered. kilograms were sent to
the governor urging that the state also
offer reward. A vigorous pursuit
was at once determined upon. There
was but one clew, and that was to fol-
low the buggy-wheel tracks, which
led out along the banks of the Flint
river southwark. DR.. Faircloth. who
had been out professionally during the
night, declared that he had met
buggy, and that its occupants were
Moses Keaton, wife and child. The
pursuing party pushed the chase
through swamp and morass, some
times having sight of the track, again
losing it, and thus giving the criminal
the advantage of time.
Upon reaching Decatur county,
Sheriff Burkett joined in the pursuit,
and it was decided to bring in the aid
of dogs to better keep the scent. On
the Georgia line and through Florida
to jackson county the party pushed.
Here, in region of swamp lands, all
traces seemed lost, and two days were
spent in an endeavor to regain it.
Hope was abandoned. At last another
trail was struck due north. It was
not long until it was discovered that it
lay not more than half mile parallel
with the downward trip, back through
to Georgia, and within one hundred
yards of the house where the tragedy
had been committed, and still north of
this until farm house was reached,
where it was discovered that the fugi-
tives had sold the horse and buggy and
were pursuing their flight on foot.
This trail was followed until the scene
just outside of this city brought the
officers into possession of their prey.
On the return trip to Mitchell county
with the prisoners, Keaton fully con-
fessed the crime. He implicated sew
eral others, and says that robbery was
the cause, as Goodwin always kept
large sums of money on his person.
He used an ak and razor in the hor-
rible deed. A noise outside gave the
murderers the idea that they would be
caught, when Keaton sought safety in
flight, and hence did not secure one
cent of the booty, only the gun for
protection and the conveyance for
flight. Taking his wife with him he
proceeded through to Florida, and
hoping the better to avoid detection,
decided to return north and reach
north Alabama, when he would be Sc
cure. The chase was over four hum
dred mile. in straight line, and must
be nearer 6ne thousand when the vari-
ations are taken into account. 1t is
doubtful if he will be allowed to reach
a trial. so outraged are the people at
his crime.

The Man With a Hobby.

When the gods showered humanity
with blessings, one of the biggest in
the bunch struck the man with a hob
by, and made the days of his life the
same as summer in Elysium. If
some old fossil would take a locomo-
motive headlight and start out on a
pilgrimage with determination to
keep on going until he .cornered an
absolutely happy man, he would only:
have to go over to the next block and
get the man with hobby under the
beams Of his lantern, and his mission;
would come to sudden end. He;
could blow out his torch. and 90 back,
to'his tub at once The man with the
hobby fills the bill as closely as the
specifications seem to require. At all,
events, he comes as near enjoying per-
tennial sunshine as any body enrolled
with flesh ever can, for s,contentment
never leaves his doorstep, and the
birds are always singing in his heart.
Corn bread is the same as pie to him,
and q summer coat as warm as a buff
,falo role. While others are, Worrying
about hard times, losing appetite,
ambition, and desire to Live. this man
with the shining garments has strad-
,dled his beast of leather and straw,
and is galloping along with "a speed
ithat4fills his veins with warm blood
and. keeps his heart bounding with Joy.
while .dyspeptics are brooding in de-
:spair, he is filled with transports bv
the excitement of his ride, and is
drinking ,bliss from the contemplation
'of scenery of his own construction.
EVERY sense istravished by the delights
Imagination has planted along his
pathway. Roses here, tiny ;rivulets
yonder, meadoEs of beauty ON either
hand, and the fragrance 0fsbensons
everywhere. This man, with heaven
under his hat, never grows old in
heart. but goes bounding along, day
after day and year after gear,
with ,unabated ardor, until his
limbs grow weak with age and his
step too feeble TO carry him to his
steed. But, as long as he is able to
climb into the saddle he will be there,
galloping away from the cares of
earth; going toward, ever forward,
with his f2ee to the sun, bearing the
talisman OF hope, end turning ell
things into the pure gold of joy. The !
grade is always the same, and his
steed never tires. No mountains toI
climb; no hills to decesd; no streams
to ford,7 or deserts to cross. No
changing of speed; always the same
delightful canter in the meadows of
Benlah Land. He may be poor in
purse, and enjoy few of TIE comforts
OF earth; but the stores Of heaven are
always within easy reach, snd he is
rich in the possession OF that itnperish-
able gem SO few ever get even a
glimpse of serene content. Find a
happy man and you will soon discover
that he is mounted. Put your hand
on the shoulder of the unfortunate
who is always under cloud, and you
will observe that he is Flooding along
on foot Reader. if you would have tnr-
