Serious ARRAY.

| A serious scrape occurred on Sutter
hill on Saturday last, between W. E.
Parsons of this county. who for a
time was running the planning mill
near the old toll house in jackson,
and man named James MeGuirk,
who is said to be from Calaveras
county. The quarrel which led up to
the scrap was of the most frivolous
nature. Parsons, it seems, was work
ing on the road on Sutter hill, this
side of the town. While so engaged
McGuirk came along in a,buggy. He
had evidently been drinking Parsons
kept on at his work, and as the buggy
approached. threw shovelful of earth
into the roadway in front of the
vehicle. 1t was not done in any way
to annoy, but merely in the ordinary
performance of his work. McGuirk,
however, demurred to this proceed
ings. saying, "Don't cover up my
buggy He stopped, got out, and
was ready for a fight right there
Other parties, however, interfered,
and prevented an encounter. Parsons
had shovel and ak with him in his
road work. He picked them up and
went on some distance further up the
hill McGulrk was bent on quarrel,
and picked up the ak, which Parsons
had laid down, and attacked Parsons
savagely. Parsons was armed with
the shovel, and defended himself with
it. Both struck about the same time.
Parsons received blow with the
edge of the ak across his right
shoulder, making an ugly cash. Nc
Guirk received the blade of the
shovel in full force, and was disabled,
dropping his own weapon and fall
ing to the ground. Thereupon Par,
sons took up the AK and gave his
antagonist blow with the, edge as
he was in prostrate or STOPPING
position. The AK caught him behind
the left shoulder, cutting deeply into
the tissue, and through two ribs.
The wound is dangerous and may
prove fatal. Parsons is not seriously
hurt McGulrk was taken to the
Summit house. where he still remains
under the care of DR.. Goodman. No
arrests have been made as vet,
although the officers went over to the
scene on the day of the fight, and
deemed 1T unnecessary to take legal
steps at that time.

Welded in Greek Church.

Inc matrimonial event of the week
was the wedding of M. l.. Curilich of
the Gwin mine to Miss Mary Erboz
OF jackson, which took place in the
Greek church on Thursday morning.
The Rev. Father b. Taskovski came
up from San Francisco specially to
perform the ceremony. The church
was we'll filled with friends of the
contracting parties and others gather
ed to witness the marriage rites
according to the method of the Greek
Orthodox church, the ritual being
quite different from the custom In
vogue in other denominations. The
bride was attended by Mrs A. Pero-
bich as bridesmaid, and L. j. GIavino
vich acted as groomsman. The bride,
Naturally endowed with personal
attractions far above the ordinary,
looked very pretty, attired in becum-
ing white. with a bouquet of carua-
tions. The bridesmaid also was very
tastily and becomingly dressed. The
ceremony was in the Slavonian
tongue. The novel features that
struck the spectators were the employ
ment of two wedding rings-one for
each of the contracting parties; the
crowning of each with floral wreath,
and the prominence given to thrice
repetitions of portions of the
solemnization. Thus, three times the
bridal pair ciroIed round the table:
three times each kissed the sacred
crueifix aud the holy bible. Three
times the wedding rings we're ex-
changed, each transferring the ring
to the finger of the other that number
OF times. The novelty of these things
was amusing to some, but the affair
was very impressive as whole.
T The ceremony over, the bridal
couple and their intimate friends re-
paired to the residence of S. Savich
on Broadway, where a sumptuous
Wedding feast was partaken of. About

CuIilich has been an employe of the
mining company there for several
years, IN responsible position on
the surface. The bride Is recently
from her native land, Austria, having
arrived here about three months ago.
The wellwishes of host of friends
go with them for long and happy

CITY TAXES TO BE HIGHER
Council LevieS Rate of SI45O per Thousand For All
Purposes This Year.

600 for public improvements is, to an
extent, responsible for the slightly
increased rate this year over that of
last year.
There has been a very gratifying
increase in property values in Ameri-
Gus this year, as evidenced by the
tax returns, and a rate of 1.4o will
be sufficient for all purposes.
Aside from this, the city has been
most liberal this year in public i'm
provements, entailing the expendi-
ture of large sums of money as a
permanent investment for Americus,
Street work and the boring of ano-
ther artesian we'll cost considerable
The city rate this year is exactly
that of the state and county combined
Las; and citizens of Americus own
ing property will pay total tax rate
Of 2.90 or $29 per $1,000.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1907-09-21

The City Council has levied the
tax rate for the current year, and
the property owners will pay $14.5O
upon each $1,000 of property re-
turned. This rate is but a slight in
crease over that of last year. and the
average citizen will not feel the diff
ference.
The rate this year is 1.45 per cent
against 125 last year, a difference of
less than a fourth of one per cent.
Here is the assessment:
For general expenses of the city,
one half of one per cent; for the bond
fund, one half of one per cent, and
for the support of the city schools,
45-100 of one per cent.

issue of bonds to the amount of $75,-

The Central of Georgia Railway has

Stories Of the Haunted English Royal

Tales Of uucanny happenings cling to

palace on Thames built BY Cardinal
Wolsey. not long ago a policeman as
serted that he saw a ghostly funeral
procession there. The London Chronicle
remarks. "The most definite Of these
old stories concerns Mistress Sibel
Penn, who was Edward Wis nurse and
died at the palace in 1862. She was
buried in Hampton church, and a
monument was erected which was IT.
reverently destroyed when the old
church was pulled down in 1929. Soon
after this strange noises as Of a woman
working a spinning wheel were heard
through the wall Of one Of the rooms
In the southwest wing Of the palace.
When search was made by the Office Of
works an ancient chamber was dis
covered in which an antique spinning
wheel was found, the old oak planks
being worn away where the treadle
struck the floor After this Mrs. Penn's
ghost Is said to have appeared to many
occupants Of the palace; but, according
to Law. the historian Of Hampton
court, she has not been seen since 1886,
when her tall, gaunt form, dressed In
long gray robe, nearly frightened g
young soldier to death.
Another well accredited story relates
how certain lady Of title who lived on
the west side Of the Fountain court in
1870 was frequently conscious Of the
presence In her room Of two invisible
beings, and she was greatly disturbed
by the mysterious sounds that emanat-
ed from various quarters Of her apart
ments. She addressed formal com
plant to the lord chamberlain. This
gentleman referred her to the Office Of
works. which, however, declined to In
terfere on the ground that there We're
no funds at their disposal for any such
purpose and that the Jurisdiction Of the
first commissioner did not extend to
the spirit world.
"At last, however. on Nov. 2, 1871,
some workmen, while excavating In the
cloister of the Fountain court. came up
on two perfect skeletons Of full grown
men opposite to Lady -'s door They
were given Christian burial in Hamp-
