A Haunted House.

From the WtyaeS5oro CGa,I True Cstigen.
There is house on Col. S. II. Alta
ways plantation which several parties
declare to be inhabited by a Veritable
ghost. They assert that when one per-
son remains in the house over night Gu
riOus and unnatural sounds can be heard,
doors open and are slammed shut, foot
steps are heard walking through the
rooms, and many other unaccOuntable
sounds are heard. Col. Attawav saws he
has heard all these sounds himself, and
has searched for the cause in vain. Sam
McClelland, who staid in the house alone
several nights, declares that the doors,
which he had taken pains to shut, were
opened and violently shut, and some
times they were left open; that there
were sounds as of some one moving about
the house, but upon a close search moth
ing could be found. Every one who has
remained alone in the house at night tells
the same story, while Sam cannot be in
duced to stay there again at night for love
or money. In our opinion this trouble
some ghost had better play its dismal
game pretty close, for if il is caught and
can be kept in jail until brought before a
Burke county jury and convicted il will
be sent TO the penitentiary certain.

A Mad Doc AT Large.

From the Madison (Gd.) NddjsoHSdn.
Considerable excitement was created in
the city Friday night by the report that a
mad dog was at large. The first person
who saw the dog was Stokes Hilsmau,
who was attacked by him about Z O'Clock
near the residence of MIR. A. W. Foster
The dog came upon him suddenly and
jumped at his throat. Stokes was too
quick for him, and threw him off with his
right arm. The dogs weight threw him
to the ground, and he was about to be set
upon the second time, when he grasped
the dog about the throat and held him at
bay until he could recover. After quite a
tussle the dog continued his wild run.
Stokes was not bitten by the dog, although
the imprint of his teeth is plain upon his
arm.
The dog next attacked Mr.. Gene Atkin-
son while he was on his way home, and
but for q thick overcoat, had doubtless
bitten him severely.
The circuit made by the rabid animal
was very large, as he attacked two or
three negroes in different parts of the
city. He has not yet been captured, and
when last seen was continuing his mad
run. 1t is reported that several dogs in
the city were bitten by him, and our
people are considerably alarmed over the
occurrence.

Florida, Grand Army of the Republic,

the minutes of last meeting, held In Jack

Athens Public Schools.

From the Athens GA Banner- Watc6nsan.
Hon. r. b. Russell estimat that our
public schools cannot be run on less than
1900 a year. or this sum we will get
$1,000 from the State, and school Commits.
siOner Orr thinks he can secure US $4,000
from the Peabody fund, which be has
kindly promised to try and do. This will
leave $500 for Athens to raise by taxa
ton, outside Of the interest on bonds for
buildings.
The taxable property of the city is S4,-
100000, and the present levy is 81 cents
on the 500. We think that by putting
the tax back to the old rate OF per cent,
with the reduction in city expenses made
by the new administration, that this out
lay can be met. MIR. Russell, however,
thinks it will take 81 10 to meet the ex-
pendture. The city fathers will be as
economical as possible, but at the same
time we do not want any one-hOrse school
system.

A meeting OF all physicians permanent
ly residing in st. Augustine, was held at
the office OF DR.. f. +. Smith, on Wednes-
day, for the purpose OF recognizing the
ST. Johns County Medical Association.
Or. W. f. Shine was made temporary
President and DR.. William Miller Secre-
tary. A committee consisting of Drs.
halney, Smith and Anderson was APP
pointed to draft constitution and by
laws, and report on Wednesday next.
ST. Augustine Weekly: A gang OF four
teen robust colored men tramped into
town on Wednesday morning, with bag
and baggage, from the new st. Angus
tine and Palatka railway, where they
were drowned out by high water and low
wages: The railroad contractors are pay
ing only so cents per day. and in many
places the shoVelers are obliged to work
IN water up to their knees. Not very
pleasant occupation, to be sure, even in
warmer weather. The exodus, we learn,
has been quite general all along the line.
Less than two weeks ago over 600 men
were employed on the job.
luis said at Washington, ID. c., that the
prospect of the bill for public building
at Jacksonville is excellent. 1t has been
referred to a subcommittee, and each
member of this subcommittee expresses
himself very favbrably toward the bill,
which will probably be reported in a few
days. If so 1t will stand among the first
on the House calendar, and be practically
certain of passage. Mr.. Dougherty is
working zealously for it, and is liked by
the members of the committee. The
Chairman said Saturday that there is
scarcely doubt of the bill passing in the
House, and Senator Call thinks there will
be no difficulty in the Senate.

Rifle Ont.


! From the Dariea (Ga.) Gasette.
! This cut is a channel cut through the
marsh, which has its western opening at
| or near the western extremity of Cam
! ber's Island. The whole volume of the
Altamaha flows by the island, and forks.
| forming the two branches of the ALBANIA
ha and COuper's creek. At this point of
! departure, there has formed a large sand
| bank, which goes dry at every low water,
causing serious inconvenience to the
! timber trade of Darien. Rats are de-
layed, or if they reach this point in a
spell Of real bad weather, they are liable
to be broken up and lost. The caus-
es producing the sand bar, and such
as any frst-class engineer can read
lily understand, but require too
much space to be explained in this article;
but the point we wish to place before the
public is one which has no connection
with these advantages, viz: The utilizing
of Rifles Cut for the purposes Of river
communication with Darien. This cut is
located at a distance of perhaps two miles
above the forks of the river, at a point
where the water is deep. Now If Con-
gress should appropriate a special sum
for the widening add deepening of this cut,
so as TO sink its level to conform to the
bed OF the river proper and the Darien
branch, the elbow now forming
the waterway to Darien would be
avoided, and distance of some
three or four miles gained to the river
traffic, and this without any detriment
to the balance of the river below Cam
ber's, which when not required for the
purposes Of navigation, need receive no
attention IN the matter OF Improvement.
II addition to the benefits and advantages
to Darlen and her commerce, there would
be considerable sum saved TO the gov
eminent if the cut was made part Of our
line Of riyerway. For the amount of ca
walton, to cut channel through COuper's
bar, would be many times greater than
to open this cut. The parties having the
material in hand might ind it vastly to
our commercial interest 10 give this mat
ter their consideration and present the
same 10 the consideration of our Repre-
sentatiVes 10 Congress.

Base Ball Franchises.

Macon IetegTdDb: 1t seems that In the
matter OF selling her base ball franchise
/ Atlanta Is to nave an imitatOr in Macon.
The directors of the MacOn Association
have not met with the success they antic-
ipated IN obtaining subscriptions to the
fund necessary to pay the expenses OF the
season. The citizens of Macon are anx-
ious enough to have the association en-
gage fine nine to amuse them during the
long, dull summer afternoons. but they
are not quite anxious enough to spend
their money to that erd. Without the as
sistance of the citizens, the association
cannot carry out their plans. The direct
Ors wished TO have a sufficient fund
at the beginning Of the season
to carry them through without
the necessity OF asking further sub
scriptiOns, but one of them told a
reporter yes erday that their wishes
would probably be disappointed. If the
desired fund cannot be raised at once the
directors will sell their franchise, il they
can secure purchaser. They cannot at
ford TO hold the franchise at dead loss to
themselves. They do not expect TO make
money out of the association, but desire
to maintain it simply for the sake OF the
amusement and recreation afforded by the
game. To prevent the sale Of the fran
chise the citizens must come TO the help
OF the association. Another effort will be
made by the directors this week. 1t is TO
be hoped that they Will meet with COM
plete success.
A Chattanooga dispatch OF Sundays
date says: The Columbus manager, Brad
ford, has made formal offer by tele-
graph agreeing to pay $1,000 cash for
ChattanOOga's base ball franchise. Tue
directors have the matter under consider
alton, and unless the guarantee fund is
entirely pledged the sale will be made.
Fifteen hundred dollars are still lacking
TO make the guarantee good.

Tuesday officers Grifis, Holder and
Kirksey and D. r. Adams, of Lumpkin,
went to the Nineteenth district to Irrest
Bill overly, alias Bill Summers, who is
wanted for a murder committed in Mon
roe county eight years ago. Mr.. Holder
went to one door and Knocked, and as
soon as Sill discovered that officers of the
law were after him he rushed out Of his
house through The back door and ran
against Mr.. Adams. who made a desper-
| ate struggle to hold the negro but with
! out success. Bill being as slippery as an
| eel, lett his shirt in MIR. Adams hands
and broke for the woods. Pursuit was
made, but the negro was too feet of foot,
and soon distanced mis- pursuers and be-
came lost in the darkness Of the night.
! There is a miscreant in the neighbOr-
hood OF Smarr's station, on the Atlanta
division Of the Central railroad. Satur-
day night, just after the north bound train
which leaves Macon at 5;4O O'clock pass
ed Smarr's, d stone was thrown through
window of the tirst-Class coach, striking
Miss Kate Milledge, OF Forsyth, a severe
blow on the arm, between the elbow and
the shoulder joint. The stone weighed
not less than pound. 1t was throw
with great force, cutting clear hole in
the glass through which a man could
easily run his arm, Had Miss Miledge
been struck on the temple, she would al
most certainly have been killed. A lady
sitting opposite Miss Muledge was struck
in the face by the glass driven into the
car by the stone. Other passengers were
struck by the glass. The conductor Sc
cured the stone.
a lady, giving her name as Mrs. Trist,
died at the Kimball house, at Atlanta,
sunday night. She went to the hotel
about three days ago from a boarding
house on Capitol avenue, accompanied by
an elderly lady, her mOther-in-law. They
stated that they came to Atlanta from
! Cincinnati. Saturday night Mrs. Trlst
gave birth to a stillborn child and linger-
ed in great agony until she died. Several
| ladies' went to the room TO offer their ser
vices, but were refused admission by
white nurse, stranger. the alleged
mOther-in-law left the hotel Sunday after
noon and at midnight had not returned
IL is stated that a telegram " as received
sunday from the deceased's husband, from
! Washingto saying that ne would be at
Atlanta yesterday. The hotel people at
midnight had not been admitted to the
room, where the woman was lying dead.
They regarded the case as quite peculiar
and did not know what to make OF it. DR..
James Logan attended the lady. No one
was in the room when she died except
the unknown white nurse and two colored
women,
