afternoon. while Mrs. w NJ Mullins was
sitting in a rear room at the Jail sewing on
her machine, she heard a noise, and upon
looking around she saw a negro man stand
ing behind partition door. Mrs. Mullins
at once rose to her feet and demanded his
business there. The negro replied
with curses, stating it vas none of
her business, and at the same
time advancing and selling Mrs
Mullins by the throat ami arm. A scufile
ensued, during which Mrs. Mullins came
near her bureau, when she opened drawer
and seized her pistol. The negro seeing
this attempted 10 rescue it, but was pre-
veated, and Mrs. Mullins presented the
pistol and demanded him to leave or she

w. b. Sparks and the Belingfeld Bros.
OF Macon have shipped two crates OF
selected kolb gem melons by rail to New
York and thence by transatlantic steamer
to Naylor, Wilson g. Co., Liverpool.
England. The melons were raised by Daniel
h. Thompson Of Houston county, and were
very fine. even specimens, averaging about
forty pounds each. One unusually fine
melon, weighing forty seven pounds if it
arrives in Liverpool IN good condition, will
be p eseuted to the royal purveyor for the
queens table, with the clmpllme lts Of Bad
ingheld Bros and the Suwanuee river route
SO far as known this Is the first shin
ment OF melons ever made direct from the
melon beds Of the south TO Europe. London
and the northern capitals OF Europe get
melons from Spain sometimes. But thew
are small and in America would be CON
sidered indifferent. II a trade in melons is
established with London, Liverpool and
Paris, the little runty Spanish melons will
cut no opposition figure, as the very earliest
OF them to reach the markets of northern
Europe cannot arrive there earlier by any
possibility than August. II a demand for
melons is made by this experimental ship
ment, Georgia can always begin to ship
melons as early as June and till late in
August.
Brunswick Times. J. o. Beazley form
erlv Of Virginia, but at present a member
OF the firm of Beazley Futch & Co OF this
city, has patented an invention, which, no
doubt. will remove the most unpleasant
feature of railroad travel. Mr.. Beazley's
invention will be known as the Dust Ar
rester.' Mr.. Beazley claims that his con-
trivances will keep the coaches en-
trely free from dust and cinders,
and from the following fair description OF
the model his claim certainly seems to DO
well founded: Between elch VIM
dow on the coach there will be placed
two ccncave dust detiectors, extending iii
length from the bottom of the window to
point few inches above the highest point
10 which the window can be raised. The
conceived side of each nrrsster will be turned
toward each end OF the car, the conceived
sides forming arcs of about ninety degrees
each and standing about five or six inches
from the side of the car The edges are fas-
toned to the car as closely as they
can be placed, and conceived sides
being so arranged that the dust will be
caughs, whether the car is run back ward or
forward. Immediately below the conceived
boards is q box. which serves as q receptacle
Of the dust, conveying into a large hori-
zontal pipe at the lower side of the coach,
