aVlkY GRAVE ( HARGE
Tho Atlanta Constitution of Sun
day last made some very grave
jphsrges, in which houip prominent
officials of the State are involved
It sets forth that Judge Fain, of
the Cherokee Circuit, arid ex-Sen
fttor Rankin were amont: the paid
lobbyists who attempted to work
the last Legislature in behalf of
'material against oalito
limastone for the new enpitol build*
lag.
The Ijegislature now in session
will, no doubt, appoint a committee
to investigate the whole matter, aud
developments are expected.

The Lcgndatnre Taking Aetion on the
Lobby.
A big sensation was createtl in the
Douse yesterday bv Mr. McLendon
_pf ThpJias. who, immecHatcly alter*
.the journal was read, arose and in¬
troduced the foRpwing resolution:
Whereas, il has been openly charged
in the public prints that J. (.. l-ain,
now holding a commission as Judge
ot the 8iqicrior t our s oT the (. hero -
kce circuit W Georgia, did, in the
^.ontlt of December, 1884. both ot
■•in parties having.been at that i’uie
and one of said parties, to: nit; J. G.
Fain, being now a public officer, re¬
ceived and accepted from J. P. llai -
jrison, or for other person, ip consideration certain sums of of
utonev and
services rerdered by them in influ¬
encing or attempting to influence the
setton of the lihporteci legislature .of Georgia
^n relation to public mat¬
ters
And whereas, The safety, welfare,
,*nd good came of the State are iuis
volved in such charges, the character
,»nu uprighlne»s of her judiciary are
impeached. whereas, The of the
And satety
people of Georgia depend* upon the
honesty and purity of Ibeir public
officers.
Therefore, lie it resolved 1»v the

children have tecenily died. They
do not allow any one to attend the

The old Fort is very Urge, and is

ago they dissolved busim-a* relations
and a difficulty arose iti the settle¬

time, cadi sending word he meant to

two ranchmen, with a few cowboys,

the little village of Batesville They
were both on horseback and carry¬

they should dismount and tire at the
word of command fro none of the
cowboys. They s ood off about 100
yards. Both were crack shots and
each tiled ^t tfie word. Bennett fell
dead with a butlel hole through his
brain. One report says Brimfielu was
wounded in the thigh, while another
report says he is uninjured. No a'

LIVES STRANGELY LINKED.
I n 1863. in J one of that vear, three
Confederate soldiers serving ic the
aimy of Virginia, returned t3 their
homes in Fann'n county,Ga.. on fur¬
loughs of 30 days each. Tuey were
irun of no e lucation and without pa
irintistn. They had entered the army
“forthe inn of the thing.” A year’s
service taught them that fun was an
unknown quantity in the army, but
instead, there were great b aril ships
and constant dinger of ioss ol life.
At the expiration of the 30 days grat
ted them bv their furloughs, they
agreed that they would not return to
«w S
lernnned to desert.
Fannin connty is a mmintaneons
region. It was, therefore, not tlitii
cult for the three deserted to so hide
themselves as Pi be entirely out ol
the wav ot officers sent in search of
them. Ifboy remained in their hi
ding [daces until l ie war ended.
The subsequent history of these
deserters was singular. Their names
weie i liotuas, How'nan and VY’atts —
They were unmarried. From li(65 l"
1875, they remained in Fannin coun¬
ty, most of fhe time manufacturing
illicit whiskey. Jn June of the latter
year, they were surprised by a partv
of revenue men tn a distillery situa¬
ted in a m untnin gorge. Thev were
brought to Atlanta, where they were
tried upon the chaige of illicit dis¬
tilling, and were convicted. Each
one w.»s sentenced to serve a term of
tw(> years in tuc Albany, New York,
penitemiarv,
In Juui, 1877, the three deserters,
now ex-convicts, were liberated.—
Thomas obtained work on the Hud¬
son River steamboats; Bowman en¬
listed in the United States army and
w as sent West to fight the Indians.—
Watts went to Florida, where he ob¬
tained employment as a b 'akeman on
a railroad.
In June, 1878, Thomas married an
IHJsh woman who lived in New York
city, About the same time Bowman
m trried a squaw of the Apache tribe
of Indians. Watts, in the same month
and year, married a Cuban woman,
whom be met in Jacksonville. The
degree of education possessed by the
three wives was shout the same as
that possessed hy their respective
husbands.
Living so widely apart, it never oc
curved to the three ex-convic's that
they would ever again meet one anii
other. But in June, 1879, Thomas
was employed by the owner of a St.
John's river 3teamer to go to Florida.
At the same time Bowman’s com¬
mand was sent to St. Augustino.—
hile passing through Jacksonville,
they met Wads. The three ex-con
vie ts determined to celebrate their
re-union by a banquet, which was
provided for them by the keep, r of a
•■heap restaurant. Their wives joined
them at the banquee, at which great
convivaiitv reigned.
The next morning the wives of the
three ex-convicts died very suddenly.
The ice cream they had eaten at the
banquet had poisoned them.
It was in June, 1880, that the three
ex convicts met again. Jacksonville
was the place. They were on their
way to Fannin county. Each had
heard that t.he few acres of land they
had owned bad suddenly become ol
greit value hy reason of the discovery
of gold. They traveled together, each
full of wonderful plans for the future.
When they reached Fannin county,
they discovered that what they had
heard was untrue. They were bitter¬
ly disappointed, naturally, ? Q 'l, to
C'Misole themselves, set up a distillery
and proceeded once more to manu
facture illicit whiskey.
It is not known how long the three
ex convicts remained in Fannin conn
ty, but in Jupe, 1881. they were liv¬
ing in Chicago. The; then disap¬
peared, and were heard of no more
until June, 1886. On June 4th. an
explosion occurred in a steal 1 house
on a back street in Chicago. The oc¬
cupants of the bouse, three rneOj were
killed. Police investigation devel¬
oped that they were engaged in the
manufacture ot dynamite at the time
of‘.he explosion, presumably for the
Durpoie of supplying the anarchists
of that city. The owner ot the house
said he had rented it to three men
whose names were Thomas, Bowman
and Watts.
