KILLED a CATAMOUNT.
Bridge Foreman Alderman Has an
Exciting Experience.


Liberty City Ga. Jan. 24-Bridge Fore
man w. II. Alderman, who works on the
Plant System trestles between Doctor
Town and Liberty City, had quite thrill
ling encounter with a large catamount
near Morgan Lake yesterday morning.
He saw the cat9mount lying on a log
little ways off from the track. He ed
vanced little nearer the cat in order to
shoot it with his revolver. When the cat
saw him 1t came for him with all its hair
turned the wrong way. Mr.. Alderman
shot at it several times but missed n
the cat still coming for him. He then
secured a stick with which he succeeded
in killing the animal. Upon examination
he found one of its forelegs was broken
Mr.. Alderman thinks that some train
must have run over it and broken its leg
and that on this account it made such n
vicious fight.

WILL JOIN HIS DAUGHTER.
William V. Claire Paid n Visit of
Thanks to Postmaster

The Morning News of yesterday con-
tanned a brief statement from Rich
mond, Va, dispatch, to the effect that
Miss Edna Caire, of that city, had To-
Gated in Savannah the father whom she
believed to be dead.
Yesterday Mr.. Caire CHANGED to be in
Savannah and paid a visit to Postmaster
Joseph F. Doyle, through whose efforts
his daughter had succeeded in finding
him. Mr.. Doyle had succeeded in deliver
ing a letter from the daughter to the
father and a correspondence had sprung
up between them. Mr.. Caire told the
postmaster that he intended to dispose of
his business interests in this part of the
country and join his daughter at Rich
niond
The circumstances in the case combine
to make a very pretty and romantic lit
tie story of real life. For seventeen years
the father has believed his daughter to be
dead and she seems never to have known
of his existence until very lately.

LYNCHnD by UNION SOLDIERS.

Lawrenceville News Herald: A North
ern man was in town the other day and Mr..
Sasser was carrying him around over the
city and relating to him some of the his
torical facts in connection with old Law
renceville. While in the Court House yard
he showed his friend from the north side
of Mason and DiXon's line the stump OF
ahe tree where a negro was hung during
the war. This is the stump" said Mr.
Sasser, 'of the tree wherein the first
negro was ever lynched in Georgia for
committing rape on white woman and
Union soldiers were the ones who put
him to death. You Yankees condemn us
for lynching when you were the first ones
10 start the business in this section" Mr..
Sassers Northern friend looked at him
in surprise and was unable to reply to
the statement to which he had just listen
ed. The facts in the case are familiar
10 most of our peop.e, and there are a
half dozen or more citizens in Lawrence
Vile now who saw the negro's body hang
ing from the tree before il was cut down
The corpse was not taken down until
about IL o'clock the next day following
the lynching and it was inferred near the
city.

MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
Local and General News OF Ships
and Shipping.

The British bark Lizzie Curry. which
was recently caulked and repaired on
the marine railway, is loading a cargo OF
yellow pine lumber for Buenos Ayres at
the Georgia Lumber Company's dock, foot
OF Abercorn street. 1t will be remembered
the Curry was recently sold at govern
ment sale, TO satisfy claims of the crew
and other creditors, and was bought by

put in good condition. and is now under
stood to be thoroughly seaworthy.
Vessels bound North are making prepa-
rations to combat the ice which is an in
convenience to navigation in some ports.
The schooner Jennie Thomas, which has
just finished discharging coal, is now load
ing lumber at the Georgia Lumber Com
pany's dock for Baltimore. The vessels
sides are being sheathed about the water
line with thin boards so that she will
not be damaged in passing through the
ice in the Chesapeake. Precautions of
this kind are not generally adopted by
sailing vessels, but the protection to the
vessel is said to make it well worth the
while.
The steamer loretta did not leave for
Button yesterday, owing to delay in fin
ishing repairs. Her manager, Capt. Chad
wick, hopes to leave for Bluffton to-day.
This will be the Doretta's first trip since

THE OLD TooMBs RESIDENCE.

The residence of Hon. f. II. Cooley at
Washington narrowly escaped destruction
by fire last Friday night Fortunately the
fire was eXtinguished. with a damage of
only about $3.50. In speaking of the house
the Washington Chronicle says: 1t was
the home in which Gen. Robert Toombs
lived for many years, up to the time of
his death. 1t Will be remembered that a
Yankee officer in charge of some troops
threatened to burn his residence a short
time after the close of the war. He was
in search of Gen. Toombs, aud thought
this would cause him to be discovered
At that time all of the contents of the
house were removed by neighbors, who
feared that its threatened destruction
would then be carried out. Mrs. Gen.
Toombs noble woman that she was, new
er quavered for a moment by reason of
these diabolical threats. The grand old
residence still stands, one of the many
historic piles of the town.

A member of congress, whose name
is not given, pays the following tribute
to the martyred president;
1.-The character of William Mckinley
was the embodiment of sweetness: in
all the years of my personal contact
with him 10 the halls of congress, never
once was his temper rutfled. lie was
master OF himself, and therefore fit To
be master Of others. Never once, even
in the midst Of the excitement of de-
bate, was he betrayed into the use OF
invective or personal sarcasm. OF all
the men who have been in the house of
representatives during my experience
there, nome was ever so much beloved
by his associates. and by his political
opponents as well. lie never allowed
the truth TO be misrepresented by party
ambition"

President Cleveland very properly
opposes any effort to prevent the peo'
Pile from coming in contact with the
president of the United States. lie
says:
1--WE shall never have a president
who is not fond of the great mass OF
his countrymen and who is not willing
10 trust them. His close contact with
them is inspiring and encouraging.
Their friendly greeting and hearty
grasp of his hand, with no favors to
ask and no selfish cause to urge. bring
pleasant relief from official ~perplexities
and annoying opportunities"
Yet Mr.. Cleveland says the people
are prepared for strong measures to
suppress plotters against the lives OF
the presidents and calls attention to an
important fact when he says:
THE chance is by no means remote
that our chief executive may be as
sassinated. and a great nation be stag
gered by direful fear and apprehension;
and yet, the foul life of the murderer
may be saved if the deed happens to be
committed within the jurisdiction of a
state whose laws do not denounce the
crime of murder with the punishment
of death"
Mr.. Cleveland says the effect of this
would be to heroize assassination in
the imagination of the enemies of social
order. Thus it would seem that fed
eral law is necessary to make assassina-
ton Of a president punishable by death
If it can be done without coming in
conflict with state laws.

As will be seen elsewhere, the SUI
preme court has denied the application
for a writ of habeas corpus in the case
of I. O. Towner, convicted in Silver
Bow county on the charge of violating
the gambling law. The court does not
find that the law is either in whole or
in part unconstitutional, although their
decision is not conclusive upon the
question Involved If the same shall be
presented upon appeal with full argu-
mcnt. It is believed the ground on
which the application was made is very
flimsy and that the law viii stand all
assaults made upon it. As We under
stand it, the contention was that in fix
ing the maximum penalty no time limit
for Imprisonment is given other than
that the offender shall remain in dur
ance until the same is paid" II is
hardly probable that a mar would serve
a life sentence in preference to paying
the fine, and such was not the intent of
the law. However, a fair test of the
point would prove interesting.
