Fon da, General Superintendent of tho Central Railroad of Georgia* was ac cidentally shot and killed by J. J. Abrams, a prominent lawyer of this city, while on a pleasure trip on a tug down the river tnia afternoon. Win chester repeating rifles wore used in ?hooting alligators. During an inter val in tho shooting the rifle used hy Mr. Ponda was loft lying on a sont on thc pilot house, loaded and cocked, while lie went to tho lower deck. When Ponda started to return, Abrams and two other members of the party were in tho pilot house. Ponda and Abrams had hoon ns play ful with each other as two boys du ring the trip, and ns Ponda starlet! up thc ladder he said to Abrams: "I'm coming, Jack.'1 "No, you ain't," replied Abrams, as he snatched up the riflo and in a spirit of fun pointed it toward Ponda. At that moment the boat lurched, tho weapon was unaccountably discharged, a bul lot passed through Fonda's brain, and he. fell back to 'tho deck and almost instantly expired. To-night the coroner's jury found tho shooting accidental? and exonera ted Abrams from all blame. Mr. Ponda was widely known among rail road men. His wife was to havo joined him this week, coming from Nash ville. mmm?b?& -j.m Childrens* Day at Ebenezer. Thu annual picnic of ihc Ebenezer Sunday School came oil" at Ebenezer Church on Saturday last. The day was a bright and pleasant one, and the at tendance the largest ever assembled on thc ground, the building unable to se;?t ' more than half. Messrs. H. H. Newton, J. E. Everett, C. M. Weatherly, Robert Chaflin and others were invited, as speakers, butas all failed to attend, the "local talkers" were pressed in and short but instruc tive addresses were secured from Messrs Luther Edens, J. T. Covington, Col. John Covington, W. N. Hamilton and others who were present. Each address was followed by music, lcd by the Superintendent, Mr. Henry (Jottingham, assisted by Miss Anna Hamilton with her splendid organ and a corps of excellent singers. An intermission at 12 o'clock, gave all a chance to test their appetites for the good things brought in thc baskets, and a feast it was, turkeys, chickens, chicken pie, cakes, pies, lemonade, etc., etc., un til all said "enough." The picnic was a success in every par ticular, and though the writer was un able to make them an address this time, he most heartily enjoyed all that was said and done. B. May roth, 1887.
