GRIFFIN's Epidemic GROWING.
Twenty-Three New Cases and One
Death Yesterdays Record,

Twenty-Three New Cases and One
Death Yesterdays Record.
Griffin, Ga, Nov 20.-Grtfin has
awakened to the exigencies of the hour,
and the board of health and city officials
have been busily engaged all day prepar-
ing for the quarantinng of the smallpox
cases in the city. A large force of hands
is at work building pest houses out on
the county farm, and 1t is believed. that by
Sunday night the work of removing the
sick to these quarters, which will create
feeling of relief in the city, will be be-
gun. Twenty-three cases more were re-
ported by the board of health this after
noon, almost all being among the colored
people.
DR.. T. j. Collier has heroically thrown
himself in the breach and assumed the
duties of physician at the pest house. No
one unacquainted with the responsibilities
of the position can imagine what a sacri-
flee he has made for the benefit of the
city. All the churches of the city will re-
main closed tomorrow TO prevent the con-
gregation of large crowds, which would
facilitate the spread of the disease.
The officials are determined TO stop the
disease at once, and the citizens generally
are in full accord. About 1000 have been
vaccinated to-day and yet every doctor S
office was crowded until dark.
But one death from smallpox is report
ed to-day.
Strict quarantine has been established
upon every street where the disease has
appeared, and will continue until removed
to the pest house.

at and Badly Wounds a Bystander.
Atlanta, Ga. Nov. 0.-W. A. Sharpton,
a switchman for the Southern railroad, liv-
ing in Bellwood, surrendered himself to
the police this afternoon after having shot
and probably fatally wounded Ralph Glib
son and Henry Joyner, two white men en-
ployed as operatives in the Exposition cot
ton mills.
Sharpton's wife was the cause of this
bloody affair. He was jealous of Gibson
and went cunning for him, and in the fu-
silade Joyner was accidentally shot. Gibson
has four bullets in his body and may die
at any time. Joyner is not so badly
wounded, and will probably recover,
though, being wounded in the face by the
discharge from a shotgun, will be horri-
bly, dishgured.
Some time ago Sharpton was a patient
at the Grady hospital, having been sent
there to have his head dressed after being
hurt by a negro with a rock. While there,
he claims, Gibson played the devoted to
his wife, and when he got out he warned
him to let her alone. Gibson did not heed
the warning, although it was repeated at
the muZzle of a pistol. Sharpton and his
wife moved to different boarding house
anu ClDSou IOlIoWed. several Gays ago
the husband asked the mill boss to dis
charge his wife so he could get her to leave
town with him. This afternoon while out
walking with her in Bellwood they encoun-
tered Gibson, who commenced to upbraid
Sharpton for his conduct in asking for his
wlfes dismissal from the mill
AT this Sharpton, who said he had warn
ed Gibson never to speak to him, drew his
pistol and emptied it at Gibson. Three
bullets struck him Then he went 10 his
brother-in-law's store and getting a shot
gun, came back and fired again at Gibson,
and this time, Joyner, a bystander was
also shot. Then Sharpton came into the
city and gave himself up to the police and
is now in a cell at the station house

the Proceedings.
Atlanta, Ga, Nov 2O.-The suit for in
junction brought by G. W. Collier to pre-
vent the city and county from making a
trade by which the former is to get the
present court house building. came up for
hearing before Judge Lumpkin to-day
This is the suit referred to in these dis
patches last night as being likely to prove
boomerang to Mr.. Collier, as the county
commissioners will seek to revise his tax
returns, making him pay on $780, 900, in
stead of $4,000, in retaliation.
A controversy arose to-day over the
technical point as to whether the county
should be made party to the injunction
sought for. and the court decided that it
should, after which the hearing was ad-
jOurned until next Saturday. pending the
completion of such an amendment The
case is full of interest locally, as upon it
hangs the city's chances of getting a city
hall building and the countys plan for a
new court house.

reason that with such bonus and n

also complaining that under the leasing

their ore without any adequate return,

very earnest efforts to renew the leases
which may expire within the next few
months, unless there should be a very de-

other reason for closing down is the reduc-
