One Cent n Mile Granted for the
Rifle Contests at Savannah.
The desired rate of one cent a mile
has been secured for the Interstate
Shoot in Savannah, Aug. 1880 An
nouncement that this rate will be al
lowed by all the railways throughout
the territory from which teams will
come has reached Col. George T. Cam
from the chairman of the Southeast
ern Passenger Association. Col. Cam
has had the matter of railway rates
for the shoot in charge.
1t is stipulated under the cheap rate
that it will be open only to parties
of five or more. travelling in uniform
upon a single ticket. The limit will
extend beyond the final date of the
shoot.
Speaking of the shoot yesterday.
Capt. Walter E. Coney said:
Capt. John D. Cobb of the Lumber
Bridge Light Infantry of Lumber
Bridge. n. c., has written me stat
ing that he would be here with a
team of five men. AS Col. S. ]. Cobb.
the inspector of small arms practice
of the North Carolina State Guard, re-
sides at Lumber Bridge, think very
probably he will accompany this team.
lie has been invited particularly. The
Lumber Bridge Light Infantry is the
crack shot company Of North Caro-
lima. Another communicati ton is from
Dothan, Ala. This company had de-
cided that it could not send a team
because of the difficulty in getting the
men off from work. The captain. how
ever, writes that after seeing Maj. Lee
Wylly Of Savannah he has decided to
enter his team, and we may surely
count upon them. The Dothan Guards
are the holders of the record as the
best shots in Alabama. This distinc-
ton was won at the recent encamp-
ment.

Crazy WOmnn's Chatter to Police
Desk Sergeant.

Crazy WOmnn's Chatter to Police
Desk Sergeant.
They tell me that I have a spirit
in me what is named Lon Crossgross,
the slayer of President Mckinley. 1t
was flung through the air on the same
day that the President was killed and
it landed in me and gave me a terrible
misery"
That is the strain in which Ada
Christian, a mulatto women, about %
years of age, addressed the sergeant
when she walked into the Office at po-
lice barracks at AN early hour this
morning.
MY husband tells me that there is
$500 reward against me for concealing
the spirit of that dago and l can't
cough him up, try hard as / may.
have got a choking in my throat now
which the students at Telfair Hospital
robbed my brother of and put in me-
There is a red-headed Do-off spirit
named George that drives a dump
cart for the city and he says that he
is going to eat my children to make
them stronger"
The sergeant stopped her. Look
here, my good woman, I am strongly
suspicious that you are lunatic,' he
said.
"Oh no, 1 amt. I'm mesmerized by
mediums, medicne-men, spies, devils,
witches, fortune tellers, and all man
ner of numbering spirits. 1 may be a
little shy of sense, for a crawfsh eat
my brain out one night and made me
a top-crown. If that biggest serpent
named George would stick mis- head out
of the top of my throat now you would
quit laughing at me-
Thus she went on for a full half
hour, and when told to go on home
and stop thinking about these things,
she said that her husband wanted her
eyeballs to hang up on the ceiling, and
that she wouldn't go home on any ac-
count. So the sergeant entered a
charge of lunacy against her and lock-
ed her up.
TIL same woman appeared in Police
Court Monday as a witness against
three other negro residents of her
neighborhood whom she accused of
throwing potash in her face. The burns
left by the potash were still fresh on
her face, and the Recorder gave the
accused parties fifteen days each on
the chaingang.

HARRINGTON WAS TOO EAGER,
Stepson of the Lady Roasted Him
for His Ardor.

for His Ardor.
Valdosta, Ga, Aug. 15.-Young New
ton Miley, son of the late Henry
Miley, of Adel, was to have been given
a commitment trial before Commission
er Johnson this morning on the charge
of sending abusive matter through the
mails. The young man was brought to
the city last night by Deputy w. H.
Goodwin. but he waved a preliminary
he airing and was bound over in tile
sum of 500.
1t is understood that his attorney, L.
Z. Lastinger, will make a motion 10
of the Federal Court which is to be
held in this city next January, maxi
ing that case the first one upon the
new docket.
The case is quite an interesting one,
growing out of a letter which j. T.
Harrington, the prosecutor, wrote to
Mrs. Miley, step-mother Of the de-
PENDANT. Her husband died only a few
weeks ago and Harringtons letter. it
is said, proposed a correspondence
with her with matrimonial intent The
young man got hold of the letter,
which had offended his step-mother,
and he proceeded to write Harrington
a letter in which he did not mince
words at all.
When Harrington received the letter
he informed Miley so it is claimed,
that he would prosecute him to the full
extent of the law If he did not settle"
the matter with him. Miley refused 10
settle" and the present prosecution Is
the result.

Atlanta, Aug. 15.-Capt. Jas. F.
O'Neill to-day rendered his resignauJI.
TO the Governor as captain of the Gate

mination Of long standing trouble in
The company, which has recently

Capt O'Neill, in statement given out
tonight. says he has resigned in order
to prevent the disruption of the COM
pany, seeing that he could not hope
to retain it's unanimous support. He
did not care to jeopardize the welfare
of the company, in which he feels great
interest, he says, therefore, he resign
ed
The trouble, it is said, first started
over the sale of the Gate City Guard
property more than a year ago. Later
it was resumed when Capt. O'Neill dis
charged three of the oldest members of
the company for the good of the SER
vice" More recently it broke out in
the Wrightsville incident, when Capt
0'Neill attacked Corpl. Dunwody as
the result of a quarrel over a remark
said to have been made by Capt.
O'Neill to Dunwodys wife, to the eff
feet that her husband was drunk and
in the guard house.
Charges were preferred against the
captain as the result of this incident,
and were sent to him. Had they gone
to the Governor, a court-martial and
probably the disruption of the company
would have been the result. This is
all obviated. however, by the resigna-
ton of Capt. ONeill. 1t is not known
who his successor will be.

DON'T PROD THE APPETITE.
Nearly All Drinks Used to Create a
 Desire for Food Are Harmful.

From the Chicago Chrinicle.
 The Academy of Medicine of France, at the unanimous request of the cham Der of deputies, has recently issued a report strongly condemning the drinks used as "aperitifs," or appetizers. by the bulk of the French middle and lower classes. After careful analysis. Dr. La- borde, who was specially commissioned. declares that every quality of absipthe contains poisonous elements. He dis- cards the fallacy that vermouth, or noyeau, Is harmless. Chartreuse Is dan gerous in a lesser degree, and ought only to be used in tiny medical doses for specific purposes.
 French gin is a form of wood spirit, and the superstition which makes vlun- eraire a popular remedy in certain emer- gencies is perilous to human life. The legislature ought, according to the re- port, to forbid the fabrication of these liquors and the immediate enforcing of the law of 1S46 against absinthe. Dr. Laborde considers that the fiscal rev. enue loses as much as it gains by fraud or adulteration and by the criminal or mental heredity caused by the terrible spread of alcoholism in France.
