THE SOUTHERN Bly0UAC FOR NAY.

The SOUTHERN BlvoCAc tor May
closes the first volume of the new Sc
lies most credibly. The first article
is an Illustrated story by Dan. L.
O'Sullivan, well told and dramatic in
movement and incident.
4 paper of unusual interest is con-
tributed by James ". A. Wright, on
prison life at the North, entitled War
Prisons and War Poetry"
Miss Rowland's second paper on the
Virginia Cavaliers" is even more IN
teresting than the first.
W. J. Oliphant tells the story OF the
Battle of Arkansas Post"
viii Wallace Harvey concludes bis
story of sLife in Florida durinsr he
reign of the Carpet Baggers, >
Richard H. Musser continues his
account of the "Nar in Missouri, and
this installment IS accompanied by an
excellent map.
Judge A. E Richards has, in the
Southern Bivouac for May, the first
of two papers on that amiable Confed-
crate leader, General Turner Ashbv.
The portrait OF General Ashby is ex-
cellent.
Col. r. T. Durrett concludes his
papers on the Resolutions of 119S--
1893 with very interesting biograph-
ical sketch of John Dreckinridge.
These papers are of unusual value and
have attracted much attention. The
last is illustrated with a portrait of
John Breckinridge and by q picture
of his law Office.
Two poems in the May Bivouac will
be widely read. One is an illustrated
poem by H. G. Wright, OF unusual I'M
aginative force The other is mem
orial poem by Maurice Thompson for
Decoration Day, simple but striking.
The first years record of the South
ern Bivouac shows clearly ) that the
South is able to produce and is willing
Eberally to support a representative
literary magazine.

The remedy IS to prepare, and plant
earlier, while the earth is moist from

us the opportunity il we will only
work up to it. Farmers, Like politi-

April, at MI. Lewis place on Santce,
g terrible and bloody tragedy was en-
acted. .Abram Beubow, colored, was
met by his father, on the public road,
near the residence of the latter, and
found to have been severely wound
ed; his throat bearing the marks of
great ~eration. On being question
ed, as 10 the cause, he replied. that
some one had killed Rachel NcDuitie,
"a colored woman} and had attempt
ed to take his ife-intticting the
wounds upon his person.
The circumstances surrounding the
case do not bear out this declaration.
The woman, Rachel, when found, was
lying almost lifeless from the effects Of
several severe blows upon her head,
and near by was lying an axe with
blood upon it, and a pistol. The the
orv of those familiar with the parties,
who went there and made an inspect
ion is, that Rachel had played false to
her pighted troth in more than one
instance, and the smitten and desper-
ate Adam being one of those who
had poured out his soul to the false
enchantress, ard smarting under the
paDgs of unrequitted love, and heart
less coquetry, in moment OF frenzy
seized the axe, inficting the deadly
wounds. Believing her dying he at
tempted to complete the tragedy by
cutting his own throat. The unfor-
tunate woman is lying critically i'll,

dition. Neither is expected to recor-

AUGUSTA KNOCKED OUT.
THE HOME CLUB GETS AWAY
WITH O'ERIEN'S MEN.

UartridGe aud Manning Halted for 20
Bases-O' Day Plays "a Brilliant Came
and is Wen Supported-Ihe First
Game with the Charlestons to he
Played To-Day--rhe Other League
Games.
The home club administered another
defeat to the Augustus yesterday, and
came very near shutting them cut. Tho
visitors presented Harbridge and Suck as
their battery. O'Day aud Glllen held the
points 70. the locals.
There was only r. fair crowd at the
grounds. Neither of the grand stands
were half filled. The benches outside
were pretty well occupied. There was
very little interest taken In the game,
The locals had no trouble IN
and batted him for twelve hits, six
doubles and one three-bagger in the first
five innings. In the sixth inning Man
ming wentIutO the box. His delivery was
more effective and only five hits were
made of MIN. O'Day pitched a magnifi-
cent game and struck out nine men, Not
hit was made OIL his delivery uutil the
sixth inning, when Harbridge got in a
twO.bsse lick. In the last three innings
the visitors made five hits. TIE only runs
they scored were teo IN the fourth inniug
on wild throw by Strict 10 first base and
one in the eighth. The Savannahs earned
seven runs. Tne rest were made on the
Augustus errors.
The playing by the home club was bet
ter than it was in Wednesdays game,
ODay's ieli-handed stop of a ball from
SylVester's bat. IN the second inning, and
HOtaling's running catch in centre field
Of a fly 10y kappel. in the third. were
two OF the prettiest plays in the game. A
very pretty double play was made In the
ffth inning by Strict, Collins and Field,
putting out Hogan and Kappell.
Manning made line stop at second
base OF a not line ball by O'Day. The
home clubs heavy batting won the game.
Burns behaved somewhat better than
he has heretofore and umpired, for him,
very fair game. He ia not the man for
the position and the sooner the league is
rid of him the better off it will be. The
following is the score of the game.

A CAvALRYMAN,s STORY.
How Gen. Kiipatrick's War Horse
Changed Owners.

An Augusta man who was a member Of
Gen. Buffers division of cavalry, and
who was participant in the little sur
prise of Gen. Bilpatrlck's forces near
Fayetteville, n. c.. tells a different story
published about kilpatrick's alleged
war horse. Alluding to "HIgh
Private's' story IN the MORNING
NEWS day or two ago, he says: "W nat
'Higa Private says about now the horse
came TO be IN possession Of Gen. Xii
patrick is no doubt correct, but now the
same horse after wards changed owners
is not properly recorded.
"Tbe plan Of battle ri Fayetteville was
that Hampton should attack In front and
Wheeler was to attack the rear
Wheeler's forces never put in an aDpear-
ance until after the fight was over. He
gave as excuse that be could not reach
the scene OF action in time on account OF
mis- inability to ford river or bayou which
crossed his line of march. Consequently
when Buffers division surprised Klpat-
rick and came so near capturing him
(and would have done so had Wheeler
put IN an appearance according 10
the programmed the Yankee forces
were too strong for our command,
and 1t failed in its attempt to cap
ture the person of Gen. Fitzpatrick. How
ever, we got so close to MN that one of
his staff was taken prisoner. all his camp
eGulpage, his horse aud saddle, etc. The
horse captured was spot and the man
who captured him was named. l think,
Charley Watkins, OF C0bbs Legion, q
resident OF Augusta. Two weeks after
this affair our forces surrendered to Sher-
man near Greensboro, \. G. During the
prevalence OF the armstice Watkins was
selected by Gen. Hampton as one Of his
couriers to accompany him during the
negotiations for surrender. Watkins was
riding spot whom be had captured at
Kipatrick's headquarters at Fayetteville
Gen. fitzpatrick saw and recognized
Spot and before the surrender of our
forces had been completed he offered
Watkins two fine horses for spot The
trade was completed aud Fitzpatrick took
'SDOp North with hlm, where, as above
noticed from Northern papers, he is yet
alive and great parade is being made
over him.
These are facts that l can prove by
Gen. Butler himself, and hundreds Of
others who are familiar with the transact
tions and scenes Of those stirring days.
'Gen. Wheeler never saw Spot and
of course toe assertion that Watkins pre-
sented the horse to that General falls to
the ground. l saw Watkins when he
captured Spot saw MIN riding the same
horse until the surrender, and saw the
two horses Fitzpatrick gave him in ex-
change for spot and Watkins himself
told me of these facts"

IL Savannah audiences would stand by

RUMORS CT 4 BIC DEAL.
THE TALKED- OF MOVE TO BUY
UP TIE CENrRAL s. STEM.

The Standard OH Company SAID 70 be
Trying to Get Control Of the Road
Leading Savannah Brokers say There
is Nothing in it ard that the Report is
absurd.
The rumor that the Standard Oil Com
rSny is trying to get control of the Cen
tcal railroad caused some stir in CONNER
cial circles yesterday. The general be-
lief is that there is nothing in the report.
II was telegraphed to the MORNING
NEWS from Augusta, where it created
considerable excitement. The officials OF
the road disclaim all knowledge Of any
such move.
A NEWS reporter talked with half
dozen brokers about The matter.
Maj. A. l.. Hartridge SAID that he
did not believe that there was any truth
al all in the report. In the first place,
said he. il the Standard Oil Company or
any syndicate or any individual wanted
TO buy a controlling interest in the Cen
traI they would not let it be known. The
scheme would be divulged TO some broker
in whom the syndicate had confidence
and the purchase would be transacted
through him. The Standard Oh Com
pany is an extremely wealthy corpora.
ton and has money enough to buy the
Central ir the stock was on the market,
but 1t is not probable that the oil COM
pany wants to invest its money in Cen
tral stock.
The Central is only a 4 per cent. stock,
added Maj. Hartrdge by way Of eXplana-
tinn, and il the present managers, who are
shreWd and able railroad men, cannot
make it pay more IL is not likely that a
set Of new owners and new managers
could do better. Before the stockholders
can receive cent in dividends the Cen
trail and the Ocean Steamship Company
have TO pay over $3.50 600 fixed charges.
At 20 Central is not a poor investment,
but II it became known that the Standard
Oh Company was buying up Central the
stock would instantly have a boom.
A controlling influence is 81. 800 shares.
Mrs. Green, of New York, owns the big
gest single block of stock, something over
5000 shares. The present board Of direc-
tors own and control more than half OF
the stock, and il there was any move
ment on foot to oust them they would see
that at least one-half the stock was tied
up 20 that the speculators could not ac-
complsh their purpose.
Mai. Hartridge attached more i'm
pOrtance to the rumor that the Standard
Company is putting up money to build
the Savannah, Dublin and Western Short
Line road.
Capt. Henry Blum declared that the re-
port is ABSURD, manitestly so on its face.
Nothing could be more ridiculous. If the
Standard OIL Company really coveted the
Central the public would not ii nd it out
until the Standard had gobbled up all it
could get. The statement that tae
Standard wants the Central is undOu6t-
edly pure fiction. Capt. Bun did not
think that the standard people are yearn-
ing for Ter cent. stock even to boom
and sell out.
