Scott Williams. who is wanted in McIn-
tosh county for numerous crimes, all of
4 serious nature, and including among
thcm two charges of rape, one OF murder,
and one of assault and battery
Williams is undoubtedly a desperate
character. He bears on his body the
marks Of numerous bullets with which he
was hit, while making his escape some
months ago from a train on which he
was being taken from Florida TO the
scene of his crimes in Mcintosh county.
When arr sted a night or two ago by D.
tectives Murphy and Clarity he was taken
unawares or would undoubtedly have
shown fight as AFTER he had been secured
heavy revolver was found in his pocket
Sheriff Blount who knows the reputation
of the man, was determined to give him
no chance to escape from his custody,
and put shackles on both his hands and
his feet.

SUNS ECLIPSE TOMORROW
1T WILL BE total. IN A BELT ACROSS
SOUTHERN STATES

The total eclipse of the sun which has been
announced for tomorrow morning is the first one
to be visible in the Eastern part of this country
for over twenty years. and will be the last for
eighteen. The favorable position of it's track
Will enable Americans to witness phenomenon
with which they have long been unfamiliar
Hitherto few scientists from the United States
nave gone TO South Africa, Chilli Japan. Nor
way and almost every other country on the
globe. At last they can enjoy the spectacle and
the opportunity for studying certain appendages
of the sun without going so far from home.
The path within which the eclipse will be total
is not over fifty or sixty miles wide. 1t enters
the United States from the Gulf Of Mexico
passes over parts of louisiana Mississippi
Alabama Georgia, the Carolinas and the ex-
treme southeastern part of Virginia. Thence it
traverses the Atlantic to Spain and Algeria.
European observers will therefore be able to
see the eclipse without great inconvenience.
The dura tion of the total stage will be little
more than one minute along the centre of the
track and even shorter near the edges More
than an hour will be required for the moon to
complete it's work after it begins to
croach on the solar disk, and when il begins
to move away again another hour will elapse
before the sun is entirely uncovered. Outside
the path of totality the eclipse will be visible
partial one provided the weather favors. In
the vicinity of this city considerably more than
half of the solar surface should be hidden at
the moment Of great ObscuratiOn. This should
occur here a few minutes after Q a. m. The
eclipse is billed to commence at 100 O'clock
seventy-fifth meridian time. and to terminate at
1896 o'clock. The hour for New-Orleans and
other points to the west of New-York. however.
is much earlier The moons shadow will sweep
the earth at rate exceeding 5000 miles
an hour. The rotation of the earth itself would
furnish 1000 of this amount if the sun were d-
rectly overhead. and the moons advance along
its orbit would be equivalent to about 1000 un-
der the same conditions. But the sunlight
and shadow will both fall slantwise the appar-
ent velocity of the movement will be greater.
Those who are situated along the line of to-
talty will perceive features that will be lost 10
