We publish the republican plat.

ran see for themselves the cheekiness
of Houk d Co. 1t abounds in gener.
alities and misrepresentation, all with
the view of catching votes. Fol in
stance, it falsely intimatss that the f.
nancial troubles and labor strikes are
caused by the democratic party being
IN power; it tries to saddle its own
ubiquitous penitentiary lease system
on the democracy, when it is well
known that it is a republican meas.
IRE; it also declares for free schools
and tries to claim all the credit for
them, when it is fact that the de-
mocracy originated and supported the
free schools OF this state and the south,
taxing its own people to give the
masses of the party what little educa'
ton they have, 1t also hypocritically
sympathizes with the Irish people,
and congrutulates them on their prose
pect of gaining home rule.

The senate commerce committee
made favorable report on the bill
permitting the Kansas City and Mem
phis Railroad Company to build a
bridge over the Mississippi at Mem
phis, and had added to the bill a
clause repeating the act of the last
congress, by which this privilege was
granted to another company. The
reason for proposed repeal, members
of the committee state, is the fact
that the company to which the prlVi,
lege was granted last congress has
failed to build the bridge or begin
work upon it. The Mississippi river
commission and river interests gener-
ally protest against bridge at Mem.
pnis, and as the other company has
failed to make use of its privileges the
committee concludes to transfer it
elsewhere. The bill requires the pres
ent company to begin work within one
year and to complete it within four
years, or else the act and charter
shall be void. The bill is amended
so that the bridge must be seventy
five feet above high water mark, two
channel spans not less than 900 feet
long or clear, and no span less than
450 feet.

Alive in His Coffin.

Cairo, ILL.,, June GA singular
story has reached here from Clinton,
Ky. George o. Daniels, of that place,
has been i'll for several months, and
last Wednesday, to all appearances,
died. The remains were incased in a
casket, where they remained for "a
hours, awaiting the arrival of rela>
tives to attend the funeral. At mid
night Thursday, the watchers, who
surrounded the coffin, were startled by
a deep groan, emanating from the
coffin, and all but one, a German
named Wabbeking, precipitately
rushed from the room. Wabbeking,
remained, and as the groans and signs
continued he raised the coffin lid and
saw at a glance that Daniels was alive
Selling the body he placed it upright.
A few spasmodic gasss, a shudder,
and the corpse spoke aloud. The rel
atives returned to find the man sitting
in chair and conversing with rea-
sonable strength. Daniels claimed
to have been perfectly conscious
of everything which passed around
him, but says that he was unable to
move a muscle. He heard the sobs
of his relatives when he was pro-
nounced dead by the doctors and no.
ticed the preparations for the funeral
He is about eighty years Of aye.

III. w, Barre Acquitted.

From the AL6ang (Gd.l Nelos and AdUertiser.
H. w. Barre, former agent Of the Bruins
wick and Western railroad in this city,
who was committed to Jail the latter part
of last summer upon the charge of EN- bez-
element, was set free Tuesday afternoon.
His counsel caught the prosecuting cOun-
sci mapping, or rather took advantage OF
an oversight upon their part, and asked
the court for verdict, after all the States
evidence mad been submitted. The point
raised by defendants counsel was that
the prosecution had failed to produce the
certificate from the Executive Depart
ment of the State showing the Bruins wick
and Albany railroad had its name changed
to the Brunswick and Western railroad,
whose money Barre was charged to have
embeZZled. The court sustained the point
and ordered the jury to render verdict
of acquittal. The court stated that the
evidence was sufficient to carry the case
on but for the failure Of the prosecution
to submit the certificate above referred to.
Barre appeared on the streets a few
minutes after be was given his liberty
and seemed to be the same jolly, good
natured, loquacious fellow that he was
before he went to jail. His former asso-
ciates and the ''boys about town" gener-
ally greeted him kindly, ana he received
many congratulations from them.
He came in to see the NelCS and AdDer-
tjser folks, and when asked by one of the
scribes how he felt, he said, "Well, l
never did feel like was guilty."

overthrow of that party 10 1876. No man
ever offered greater resistance to the
Democracy in this State than Capt. Green
did in his section. 1t was through his
advice that Stearns attempted TO deprive
the people of Manatee county of the right
OF suffrage in 1876. He succeeded in
having the vote Of this county rejected
by the notorious State canvassing
board, so as to give the electoral
vote of Florida to Hayes, and to
defeat George +. Drew for Gov
ernor. Aided by l.. G. Dennis he sue
ceeded in the former. bit failed in the
latter undertaking. Neither of these
staunch and vigorous partisans were
afterwards rewarded by Hayes for their
work, and neither ever afterwards eN-
hibited much interest in the welfare of the
'grand old party" Capt. Green was a
native OF Anderson county, 5. c., and
was born IN October, 1928. He joined the
Union army at Key West at the outbreak
of the war, and was made a captain of
infantry. He was seated as Republican
member Of the Legislature from Manatee
county in 1872. He was deputy collector
of customs at one time for the port OF
ManaIee. He leaves wife, one son and
five daughters.

A rather singular thing was brought
out in the City Court at Macon, Tuesday.
During the March term of the court the
case of the State VS.. STRIPPING, for selling
whisky to minor, was taken up. The
defendant demanded jury trial. Among
The jurors drawn was W. G. Jones. and
he desired to have w. B. Jobson serve as
a substitute. While Clerk Nisbet was
busy with the lists, J0bson, who was I'M
known to the Clerk, said he would serve
for Jones. Tine Clerk asked Judge Harris
If such was the agreement, and the Judge
answered no. JobsOn, however, mIsun-
derstOod affairs, and when Jones'
name was called answered to it. The case
went to trial and STRIPPING was convicted
and fined $500 and costs. Several other
cases were tried, and each time Jobson
answered to the name of Jones. He was
OF the impression that as he was a substi-
tute for Jones, ne should answer to Jones'
name. In none of the cases but that OF
STRIPPING were there any convictions. A
few days after the trial 1t was discovered
that Jones was not on the jury, and a mo-
ton was made for new trial on the above
ground. The motion was heard Tuesday
and Judge Harris reserved his decision.

DEVOURED BY CATS.
A Horrible Sequel to the Rising Fawn
Flood


One of the most horrible stories heard
for long time comes from Rising Fawn,
Ga. 1t will be remembered that during
the recent floods the waters rushed into
the mines at Rising Fawu 80 rapidly that
one OF the miners, man named Bennett,
was caught before he could escape and
was drowned. A constant watch was
maintained, so that as soon as the waters
receded the body could he recovered.
However, when those detailed to recover
the body made the effort when the waters
went down they found to their utter dis
may and horror that a swarm of cats mad
taken possession Of the place, and II was
impossible TO approach the place with or
without lights.
Since then it was discovered that all the
cats in the neighboTboOd are missing, and
it is presumed that during the night they
nave followed their terrible instincts and
sought refuge in the mine where they re-
gale themselves on the dead body of the
unfortunate man.
Repeated efforts have been made to
reach the body, but the fierce and horrible
| defense made by the cats prevents the eff
forts from being successfully carried out.
Armed parties have approached, and by
continual firing tried to frighten the cats
off, but il was impossible. In addition to
this several dynamite bombs were thrown
in but these had no effect whatever upon
the army of malicious telines.
A gentleman who was at Rising Fawn
said that the stories told of this strange
affair are most dreadful to hear, and that
those who had visited the mines reported
the stencil arising from the dead body to
be sitting. In almost every direction the
bright, shining eyes of the hundreds of
cats cleaned from out the darkness, while
their yels and screams were so unearth ly
as to make ones flesh creep.

A Marriage with Some Novel Fea-


From the Albany (Ga.) Ns1Os and advertiser.
A few days ago it became our pleasant
duty to chronicle a romantic wedding in
Worth county. To-day we are called
upon to give publicity to another, which
although not altogether so romantic, has
its peculiar features. The incident, as
recited to us by Mr.. James Brown, is in
substance this:
Several months ago, MIR. G. NJ. Dupree,
who resides near Warwick, Worth
county, and quite venerable widOwer,
more than go years old, possessing eight
children and eighteen grandchildren, re-
quested his friend, Mr.. Jim Hobby, to Sc
lect for him a gentle help-meet, so that
his descent down the hill of life would be
sweet and pleasant.
Mr.. Hobby, to whom was entrusted this
delicate mission, asked for some instruc-
tiOns or data by which he was to be gov
erned in the precious undertaking. He
was told to not make his selection from
girls in their teens, as they were likely to
be giddy, but to look among the cold
girls" and select "chunky" one.
Hobby beat about for some time, bent
on doing his best for his old friend; and
was sorelv discounted in not finding at
once the old girl who would fill the bill of
requirements.
At len 9Th, after many days, he met the
OOJeCI Vi ms search, naluen Ol % SUM-
mers--a Miss Sallie LONESOME who would
''fll the BILL" and upon whom the old
man would lovingly dOte.
Mr.. Hobby was confronted with one
difficulty, which much perpleXed him
the lady was not CHUNKY" at all, but
the other way, but was so engaging and
winsome that he disliked to pass by so
excellent an opportunity to serve his old
friend.
He found his way out OF the distressing
dilemma by boldly opening the subject,
and TO his qualification she was not
''otish" bit, but took kindly to the prop
osition.
Hobby then made haste to communicate
with his old friend and tell what great
things he had done. Dupree directed MIN
to proceed with the cOurtship, and thus
the affair was arranged for the happy un-
Ion.
About two weeks since Mr.. Dupree
called on Miss Jones for the first time,
when the engagement was ratified.
Three subsequent visits followed, and
the happy event was cOnsummated on
April 10 at the residence Of Mrs. McHau-
non. sister of the bride, and, following the
example of story writers, we let the cur.
tain fall.
