THE STOCKTON SENSATION.
Cadet Morgan, Prominent at West
Point, n VnIdOsta Boy.

Valdosta, Ca, Feb. 7.-Some new devel-
opments in the Stockton sensation, an ac-
count of which was sent the Morning
News last week, were brought out at the
commitment trial yesterday. The evil
dence against John Pigue. Robert War
rem and Babe Moore was streng thened
by the testimony of ]. p. Ballard who
has acted as a detective and has associ-
ated with the gang for two or three weeks.
When II was learned by the defendants
that this testimony would be brought in
they waived a commitment trial and were
sent to jail at bonneville in default of
bonds of $3.50 each.
Billiards. evidence is to the effect that
there has been an organized gang OF
raiders around Stockton for six months;
that the organization was bound by secret
obligations and iron-clad oaths to give
nothing, as to their acts, away, and a
penalty Of death was fixed for the party
who betrayed the gang. Ballard states
that they have raided hen houses, hog
pens and stolen cattle from the pastures
for many weeks, and have been so sys-
tematic and careful in their raids that
all trace of them has been blotted out by
them.
He says that when they stole a hog
they would kiln the animal, being partic-
ular to conceal all evidences of their crime
He stated that cattle were killed in the
woods and dressed and that all useless
parts of the beef were burned. He cited
Several instances of this sort, and an in
vestigation was made, which verified what
he said.
Ballard was placed under bond to ap-
pear at the April term of Clinch court
The citizens of Stockton have retained
able counsel in this city and at Homer
vile to push the prosecution of those
now in Jail.
Valdosta leads the world on short cam
paigns for municipal officers. The ques-
tons of selecting mayors and aldermen
are hardly ever heard until the nomina-
ton convention meets. This was held
last night, and the present mayor, Col.
Gordon Crawford, was put up for re-elc-
ton. The name of Col. o. NJ. Smith was
placed in opposition. Col. Smith arose
and stated that he could not accept the
office, and did not want It. He was given
a very handsome complimentary vote,
anyway, though Col Crawford was nomi-
mated. The aldermen nominated We're as
follows: Messrs. j. L. Staten, c. B. Pee
pies, 5. r. Goodwin, b. f. Strickland, j.
Il. Roberts and O. X. Jones. r. A. Pee
pies was elected TO a three years term
on the city board of education. The cleo
ton will be held next Wednesday, and
the ticket will be nominated with a rush.
Valdosta never has cross word in Sc
Letting her city officers and always picks
them from her very best material.
Cadet Morgan, the young man who had
such a desperate encounter with Berry
at the United States Military Academy at
West Point. is a Valdosta boy. The two
fought like tigers for eight rounds, when
the fight was stopped on account of the
punishment both fighters were getting.
1t was thought that Morgan would be
reduced in ranks, but letter from there
states that the authorities will not take
action in regard to the battle.

ALVEY ROW OVER OLD RAILS
TWO RIVAL CLAIMANTS FOR 4 con
SEGMENT At OCALA.

One of the Men Has Them UniOnded
From the Cars Before the Railroad
OmeiaIs knew What Was Going
On-He stops the Company From
ReIOadinE Them by Appearing on
the Scene FIOurishinE n Pistol
The Matter Vow in the Courts.
Ocala. Fla. Feb. Last night between
the hours of and y O'Clock at the Old
Silver Springs. Ocala and Gulf
railroad depot was the scene Of
a lively sensation. II appears that
B. Arentz & Co. bought from one Bache-
lor four cars Of railroad iron and paid
for the same. 3. Arentz & Co, ordered
these cars shipped TO the Piedmont Phos-
pbate mines. took out bills OF lading for
The same and prepaid the freight These
gentlemen were under the impression that
the rails had all gone forward, but II now
,aDnears that II. l. Anderson at noon on
Thursday got a force Of men together and
uuloaded the rails. throwing them down
on one side Of the railroad track. The cars
standing away out Of sight. no one paid
any attention to the fact that they were
being unloaded and the officials Of the
road were at dinner at the time. After the
cars were unloaded the force was sent on
and as soon as night came wagons were
hired. and Mr.. Anderson commenced to
haul this iron to the Oeala and Silver
Springs and Western railroad, Of which
he is the manager. The railroad officials
finding this out about s O'Clock at once pro
ceeded TO the scene and stopped the pro-
ceedings. .
for and a force was at once hlred 10 re
load the cars and proceed with them 10
their destination.
When about three-fOurths Of the cars
had been loaded Mr.. Anderson appeared,
Jumped on the car, revolver in hand, ana
threat ened the cOlored labOrers that he
would commence shooting if they moved
another rail. 1t was rather amusing 70
see how one man could dominate not only
the colored labOrers, but all the white
people there as well. The railroad othclals
did not want any shooting, and at last II
was settled that the sheriff should hold
possession of the iron until Friday morn
ing and now injunctiOns and so on, are
flying around the air. Il. Arentz q Co,
having bills of lading, naturally look 10
the railroad company for delivery, but
The interesting part of this affair Is
whether OF not the Plant System viii al
1ow itself to be bamboozled by one man
in this way. 1t appears that Mr.. Ander-
sons claims TO this property are very
ilimsy and he neglected for three or four
days to take out regular papers. The
Plant System got an injunction against
Anderson to prevent him from removing
the rails until he can prove that they are
his property. The town is up in arms
about the case. Col r. W. Davis came
in this afternoon to assist the railroad out
of its trouble.

PIERCED BY A SPLINTER.
An Unusual Accident in a Variety
Works at Albany.

Albany. Ga, Feb. IAN unusual and al
most fatal accident occurred at Cruger
& PAGES variety works in this city this
morning. ]. c. Culpepper. a white work
man, was at one of the saws, handling a
plank, when suddenly a splinter three
feet long and three inches wide, was
knocked off by the saw and sent hurting
toward Culpepper, passing entirely
through one of his thighs and penetrat-
ing the other to the bone. Culpepper dis
played the most heroic nerve while the
piece of timber was being pulled from it's
Judgment, refusing to take any aenas-
thetics or opiate while the operation was
being performed. He will recover.

TURNER AND BRANTLEY.
Ii Looks as If Turner Would BE Re-
nominated.

1t Looks as If Turner Would BE Re-
nominated.
Brunswick. Ca, Feb. THE question
will Hon. w. G.. Brantley be a candidate
for congress from the Eleventh district
against Hon. H. G. Turner? is one that
is asked here more than any other that
affects politicians. 1t is also a question
of much moment throughout the Eles enth
congressional district Another that is
asked Is: If he does run what strength
will he have? The first question can be
answered only by Mr. Brantley, and he is
silent. Mr.. Brantley has succeeded in
keeping his intention to himself. He is
known to have received offers Of strong
support in several counties and in some
the offers are from men who control the
democratic votes, but these counties are
not enough to control the district. On
the contrary, investigations indicate that
in counties where the people control alb
solutely there is Turner sentiment that
cannot be downed, and there are enough
counties in this list TO keep Mr.. Brantley
from securing the plum. The latter
named gentleman is accredited with a
plentiful supply of brains and political
foresight, and he will not make mis-
step If possible. He realizes that as an
available man for the future he stands
very high in the ranks, and he would
hardly risk a certainty few years hence
for an uncertainty now.
Reports that reach here from Ware and
Coffee and other counties in this judicial
circuit do not by any means place them
in the Brantley column, as has been
loudly heralded. And fair and impartial
view of the situation does not warrant
the belief that Mr.. Turner will be OPP
posed by the gentleman from Glynn. Mel
Their Mr.. Turner nor Mr.. Brantley has an
nounced his candidacy. Mr.. Turner
friends, 1t seems, have been authorized
to announce for him. None of Mr. Brant-
ley's friends can claim this privilege.
