oyclorama building stood, and It has been
purchased entirely by the crack military
and the terms were half cash, the balance in
one and two years.
Americas Times-Recorder: Joe Mashal,
negro 60 years old, was shot and instantly
killed Tuesday night while stealing sugar
cane on Ike Hudson's plantation, miles
east OF the city The shooting was done by
with Mr.. Hudson. Mr. Brown came at once
TO the city, and after stating the facts, surren-
dered himself to Sheriff Forrest Mr.. Brown
heard negroes breaking cane In the patch,
and securing his pistol, slipped OUT to inves-
tigate. Seeing two men cutting down the
stalks he fired, whereupon the two, with two
other negroes whom Mr.. Brown had not seen,
ran Tor the woods. Brown continued firing
until his pistol was empty. AS he was about
to return TO the house he heard groans near
where he had shot, and upon Investigation
| found old Marshall lying dead with a bullet
through his head. The killing, therefore, was
accidental, as the young man did not shoot at
the negro who was killed.

Waycross Herald: Eight or ten days ago
colored woman in the city, who was acquaint-
ed with General Manager Roberts OF the
Georgia Mall, weekly paper published by
colored men, also in the city, gave him s. In
silver TO exchange for greenbacks, as the pa
per would be the most convenient money TO
keep. Two or three days afterwards the wo-
man asked the manager ofthe Georgia Mail for
the return OF her money but some excuse was
made for not returning it, and these excuses
were kept up until Monday evening last,
when forbearance ceased to be q virtue, and
the general manager of the Georgia Mail was
arrested and spent the night in jail. Wednes-
day he was tried before Justice Sweat for
larceny after trust, and outside parties are
| his bond and security. General Manager
| Roberts, OF the Georgia Mail, says this is an
| attempt TO blackmatl him, by a daughter of
| the female prosecutor, who brings the suit in
| revenge for his having Sighted her daughter.
The people Of Cherokee are greatly stirred
| up over the posting OF gins, supposed to be
| done by the white caps and many gins in this
| and adjoining counties have been shut down
| In consequence. News of an outrage perpe-
| trated at Woodstock has just been received.
| In that section not only the ginners but the
| farmers have received threatening notices.
| The ginners are warned against operating
| their gins, while the farmers are warned that
| If they carry any of their cotton to
| market their homes and outbuildings viii be
| burned. farmer named Dobbs, one of the
| best about Woodstock, received warning, but
| did not regard 1t seriously. Tuesday morning
| he started with wagon load of cotton to a
! gin not far distant. When he got back he
| found his cotton shed on fire, and that with his
| cotton was destroyed. There is great indigna-
/ ton In the county, and If any OF these vandals
should be caught 1t is highly probable that
| they would be summarily dealt with.
| At Atlanta Wednesday, a bicyclist riding
/ down Whitehall street collided with a woman
near the corner OF Mitchell. Those who saw
| the accident say that he was not to blame
| but the woman raised an immediate outcry
| and yelled police. An officer appeared and at
| her request made the arrest. The bicyclist
was a fine looking man in knickerbocks, who
| explained that his name was G. w. Ashmore,
| and that he was riding his wheel from Harris
| burg. Pa. to Jacksonville, Fla. Before the
| wagon arrived the woman made an overture
| to drop the case If she was paid "a reason
| able amount" proposition which was pretty
! sternly declined. Ashmore was allowed to
| ride on his wheel to the station behind the
| wagon, and there put up deposit on a charge
| OF reckless riding. This done, he continued on
| his way and lost no time in leaving Atlanta
| behind him. He remarked at the station that
| he had had delightful trip, tAs being the
| first mishap.
| An interesting case was disposed of in
| Judge Lumpkin's court at Atlanta, Wednes-
| day. The suit was that OF the Chattahoo-
Cuee BflcK company against M. M. BOlen.
| The jury returned a verdict for s219.84 and
| interest for the plaintiff The brick company
| was represented by Messrs Hines Shubrick
| and Fielder. There is an interesting story
| back Of the mere suit. Bolen was at one time
| night guard at the Chattahoochee Brick
| Company, but went wrong, and is now being
| guerded at the Dade coal mines. There was
| notorious woman among the conv1cts OF the
| Chattahoochee Brick Company. Bolen was
| detailed to watch at night and released the
| woman from her shackles, fleeing with her.
| - HflarrlfEnA a = a epQp A pau LOT
| 500 was offered by the brick company, and a
| lot of circulars were sent out to all parts Of
the state The woman and Bolen were both
| captured. II seems that Bolen had some
| money in the hands Of J. w. English, Jr.
| This was garnisheed and an order from the
| court was taken requiring him to turn it over
1t will be remembered that on Sept 90
| while some OF the members OF the mounted
| police were beating through Peters park in
| North Atlanta, they came unon several
| bushels Of mail which had evidently been
| stolen from the Atlanta postotfce. The mail
| was from several pouches, and many thousand
| dollars worth Of notes. drafts and pieces OF
| exchange were found in the purloined matter.
| Two OF the pouches were found, but there
| was third missing from the pOstoiilce which
| neither the police nor the postotice authorities
| could lay their hands on. Patrolman John
| Harris came upon an empty house near
| the corner OF Cone and Marietta streets,
| and IN II found the missing mail
| pouch. II was marked on the tag, ATLANTA
/ ana Monroe Railway POStonice From At
| lanta." An examination brought out small
! packet Of letters tied in the usual manner
/ These had not been opened ana were evil
| IDENTIFY left in the pouch through an oversight
! OF the thief. They were for Abbevile, =. c.,
| ana were from Cincinnati o. The dates Of
! these letters and their directions showed
/ beyond mistake that this was one OF the
| pouches stolen by the thieves in the great
| robbery Of Sept, 20. This is the only pouch
| that remained unaecounted for
