He Ousted the President.
From the Wheeling Register.


A very good story is told on a prominent
Wheeling gentleman, which is vouched for
as strictly true. The gentleman had been
east on trip and was returning, having
secured a seat in parlor car Some time
before reaching Deer Park the Wheeling
gentleman arose and took a walk through
the train to stretch his legs. When he re-
turned in the course of half an hour he saw
gentleman occupying his chair Walking
up he politely remarked:
beg pardon, sir, you have my seat"
The gentleman, VINO was medium sized
man wearing full gray beard and silk hat.
immediately arose, and, having politely
asked pardon for his mistake, walked to the
rear end of the car, where he stood until
the train reached Deer Park, as he was
unable TO secure a seat. When the train
stopped he stepped out, aud quite a Gro d
was in waiting on the platform. Then the
wheeling gentleman discovered that he had
deposed the President of the United States.
Benjamin Harrison, and he a republican,
too. The shock was great, and the Wheel
log man hasn't exactly recovered yet.

PREPARING FOR BIG TRAVEL.
Bouffe and Dining Cars to be Put o,
the Central


The passenger service between Savannah
and Atlanta over the Central is being largely
increased. Bouffe, chair, parlor and dining
room cars will be pul on the day run. The
new schedule is to be inaugurated to-day.
The fast mail train leaving Atlanta this
morning and arriving here tonight at $40
o'clock will bring the first Bouffe chair car
over the main stem. Meals may be served
on the dining cars, and the chair cars will
be very desirable in the afternoon and even
lngs coming down to Savannah and going
up to Atlanta.
The new schedule from ST. Louis via
Chattanooga and Atlanta to Savannah is
being made up now. IL will be put on in
time for the tourists travel
Some elegant trains, it understood, will
be run from the west. The tide of travel is
turned this way and the indications are
that an enormous travel will come by Sa-
vannah this winter
General Passenger Agent Charlton of the
Central visited Duluth, st. Louis, Cleye-
land, Cincinnati, Kansas City, and several
other western and northwestern cities a
few weeks ago, and he was told that if the
Central will furnish the accommodation the
people will come He had conference s
with the ticket agents, who are the best
posted generally as to what parts of the
country the tourists will go, and from
them he learned that more information
respecting the south has been sought this
season than ever before. T passenger
agents predict that the tide has been di-
verified from the west and that this part of
the country will get the benefits of it. The
west and northwest have been largely in
favor of California as winter resort
The management of the Central is now en-
deavoring to afford the best accommodation
possible in order to induce the travel to
come by Savannah TO Florida
If the Central is successful in this under
taking it will deserve a great deal of
credit. The good effect of it
will be very sensibly felt here
The De Soto will add good deal to the
| comfort and enjoyment of the western
tourists when they come to Savannah 1t

"PIG" VANN TO HANG.
An Attempt to Cut His Throat Pre-
vented by the Tailor.


ROME, GA, Nov. This morning
shortly after the sheriff told "Pig" Vann
that the governor would not interfere
further with his sentence to be hanged, the
jailor's attention was attracted to the pecu-
liar manner in which "Pig" was bidding
his brother good-by. When the brother
left the iailor went to the con-
demned mans cell and found him
sitting on the cot cutting his
throat. Before the knife could be taken
from him he had cut an ugly cash on his
neck and one on his arm. He bled pro-
fusely for time, but upon investigation
his wounds proved comparatively slight
He was again taken to Summerville, Chat
tooga county, where he will be hanged to
morrow
In the spring of 1888 Vann and man
named White were matching dollars and
quarreled. Inf1amed by alcohol pistols
were used, and when the smoke had cleared
away White lay dead. Vann was found
guilty of murder at the September term OF
Chattooga court. since that time he has
been incarcerated in the Rome jail for safe
keeping. Tremendous power and influence
have been brought to bear upon Governor
Gordon for executive clemency in the pris-
oner's benalf Last Friday his excellency
respited Vann for one week.

A'GATOR DEVOURSA BOY
THE LAD A NEGRO WHO FELL
INTO a MILL-POND IN CAMDEN.

The Huge Jaws Thrown About His
Body the Instant He Struck the
Water Two Men in a Boat Unable
to Lend Any Aid-The Seurian Later
On Decoyed to the Surface by a Dog
and Killed.
BRUNSWICK, GA, Nov. Last Tuesday
negro boy, named Tom Washington, Of
Camden county, was captured and eaten
by an alligator. 1t is without doubt the
most horrible form of death that ever came
to light in this section. Washington, in
company with his father and another
negro, went fishing on the day in question
to Dennis mill pond, in South Camden.
After supplying themselves with half a
boat load of the finny tribe, the party
headed their boat for the landing. Just
before starting Tom was ordered to change
from the prov to the stern of the boat.
FELL OVERHEARD.
In attempting to do this he fell overheard.
Before he could regain the boat monster
alligator arose to the surface and fastened
his jaws about the boys body. The boy
shrieked TO his father for help. Human
assistance, however, could avail nothing,
and the boy was carried beneath the waters.
The two negroes returned to the landing,
told the story over the community, and,
securing a party Of ten, put back
to the scene of the tragic occurrence.
The men were all armed, and
after reaching the spot little dog brought
along for the purpose was thrown into the
water as a bait for the alligator. The
monster quickly made an attack upon the
do e, and at given signal everybody fired
upon the huge animal, killing him instantly.
The alligator's body was then taken ashore
and cut open. In its entrails human flesh
and clothing were found.

because it is evident that they
can make no capital out of it. Malone and
his friends have counted greatly on the
strength they would get from Blair as being
the author of the Blair education bill. Mr..
Blair was mortified when he discovered
that he could not interest his audiences on
the subject of education. They could not
be brought TO understand that the Blair bill
gave any reason for supporting Malone.
A high tariff anti-Mahone republican
says that the result of Mahone's Juggling
the tariff into the state campaign will be to
give high tariff black eye in Virginia in
the next presidential election. This cam
palgn has, however, proved blessing to
Malone in a respect which, according to
some high authorities, is of more value than
a governorship or any other political place.

COTTON HELD BACK.
The low price of cotton for the past few
weeks has caused the receipts here to greatly
diminish, farmers feeling certain that the
price will advance between now and Jan

section are financially able to hold their
cotton six months longer, and seem deter
mined to do SO. The farmers of this entire
section are in good condition-better than

woman near Swainsboro, on Nov. 5, was
arrested yesterday evening near Rocky Ford
by Deputy Sheriff J, S. Kemp and brought
here until they could get way to carry
him to Swainsboro. When the officers
first caught him he tried to get away, and
it was necessary to shoot him before he
would succumb. The effective shot was a
pistol ball, which entered his head be-
hind the ear and came out near the
temple. The wound is not dangerous
While in the little Jail here the prisoner
