Mill Men Befriend a Stranger Only
to be Robbed.

TENNILLE, GA, May 20.-A white man,
about 30 years Of age, claiming to have
hailed from Macon, Ga, went to Peacock
& Peterson's mill, about seven miles be-
low this place, on the Wrightsville and
Tennille railroad, about two weeks ago,
and applied for work. Not securing a
job, he cane up to Sacy's mill, one mile
nearer this place, where he had an attack
of cholera morbus, with which be was
confined for several days, during which
time he was kindly cared iOrby Mr.. Stacy
and his employees. Yesterday he showed
his appreciation of their kindness by TAX
ing from the pockets and trunks of
some of the men about $25 IN money,
pistol, and perhaps other valua5les, and
skipped the place without due ceremony.
His description has been telegraphed 10
the police forces OF the different
cities. but up to this writing nothing of
his whereabouts has been obtained. This
man, who gives his name as Knight
learned that Mr.. Stacy was going to Ten
nile on Monday morning last to draw
money from the Central railroad pay
train for crossties sawed, aud asked MIN
for q seat with him. On his return with
tie conveyance that night Mr.. Stacy hav-
in z decided TO go 10 Macon, J il was discov-
cred that he had a pistol aud razor in the
foot of the buggy, FULLY exposed to view,
ana he, Knight, IN state OF intoXication.
1t is generally believed now that il was
his Intention to murder Mr.. Stacy, while
en- route home from Tennille, for the money
he was apprised OF his getting, and that
Mr.. Stacy escaped a conflict by going to
Macon. This belief is founded
On the fact that Knight
had stolen the razor from one OF the en-
ployes of the firm. knight claimed that
he has father in the car shops in Macon.
All OF the fingers OF his right hand have
been cut of and his initials, r. G. X, are
branded on his lett arm just below the
elbow. 1t is hoped that be can he found
and dealt with in accordance with the
law.
The farmers hereabOuts have about re-
covered from the wind and sand storm
that visited them last Saturday afternoon.

A Schooner Which VIII Show Her
Teeth if Seizure is Attempted.
BosToN, May 2O.-There has been some
excitement along the water front over a
report that a fishing schooner had been
arming In this harbor. 1t is reported
that the schooner Augusta Herrlck, Capt.
William E. Herrick, left New York four
days ago on fishing trip to the Bay of
Fundy. Hearing Of the seizure
Of the Portland schooner by
Canadians, the owners of the
vessel declared that something must be
done to protect their property. The Her.
rick accordingly put into Boston harbor,
and ner Captain went ashore, BE imme.
dlately went to gun store near the wharf
and purchased two 36-inch yacht guns,
which were delivered on board, together
with large amount OF ammunition and
some small arms. The schooner then
headed down the Day on her voyage to
the fishing waters along the Canadian
shore. The two yacht guns cost 5000 aud

gun store where the purchase is said to
have been made says ne asked the Captain
what be proposed to do with the weapons
and the latter replied: 81 am going

propose to have any cheap Canadian
pirate selling my schooner. 1t is pretty
state of affairs when a Yankee schooner
is conhscated for going into foreign port
when she has papers that allow her
to do so. The British government
has twice insulted America. With
what result? The administration
has done nothing. No word OF any kind
has been sent to the owners of the con-
6scated vessels. There is evidently no
redress for them. If the government will
not help us, we must defend ourselves.
