A PANIC IN A CHAPEK
THE GALLERY AT LUCY COBB ON
THE POINT OF FALLING.
Shouts From Its Occupants Cause a
Stampede During Commencement
Exerciser—Cries of Fire Add to Qie
Terror of the Audience—A Miraculous
Escape From Loss of Life.
Athens, Ga., June 28.—Last night, just
aft> r one of the largest audiences ever seen
at fmmen cement exercises here had assem
bled in the Seney-Stovall chapel at the
Lucy Cobb Institute, and the aisles had
been filled witn ladies, a voice from the gal
lery exclaimed: “Look out, the gallery is
slipping.” Almost simultaneously the au
dience rose to their feet, and women and
children screamed for help, while those who
succeeded in getting out of the windows and
doors were yelling fire. >
EFFORTS TO PACIFY THE CROWD.
A great many gentlemen endeavored to
lent the panic-stricken audience, but they
being conscious of some immediate danger
scarcely noticed the screaming of those
without, and the clouds of dust created by
the moving throng within led many to
believe that the chapel was on fire. At last
through the perseverance of several gentle
men the disturbed crowd was somewhat
pacified, and at this time the curtain rose
and the exercises began, but during the
whole entertainment, which was most in
teresting an axious look and nervous man
ner could be easily detected throughout the
audience.
AN OMINOUS CRACK.
A short while after the chapel had been
completed in 1882 a large crack was dis
covered just over the front door. The
authorities had the gallery examined by ex
perts. who pronounced it perfectly safe, hut
several prominent citizens testify that last
night a part of the gallery slipped away
from the wall three inches Fortunately no
one was hurt, notwithstanding that several
made their way from the centre of the
building to the doors. Several ladies are
reported to have fainted. The exercises
were resumed to day and will continue until
Wednesday as usual.

an attempt at blackmailing,
to connect Maj. Greene with the perse
>Ui H" i in was denounced in the
..Sit -, and the publication pretty
generally circußhß*"*-
ch ai.lenged'
In the afternoon paper to-day appeared
an advertisement regarding the' aoove. in
which General Manager Greene denounces
Col. James Barrett as a poltroon, and ac
cuses him of giving offense and refusing to
give satisfaction. Col. Barrett, it seems, is
editor of the Globe and Lance , and in an
©<litorial paragraph called attention and
gave indoi-sement to Davis' letter. Manager
Greene demanded personal satisfaction of
Col. Barrett, who replied that he did not
recognize the code, but could be found at
his usual place of business by Maj.
Greene. Hon. Joseph B. Gumming, who
acted in behalf of CoL Barrett, also pub
lished a card detailing a personal interview
witli the latter, in which he refused to resort
to the field of honor. Ail this appears in
the Evening AVu-s of to-day. and the affair
has caused a genuine sensation.
Col. Barrett admits his editorial connec
tion with the Globe and Lance, hut dis
claims any indorsement of the objectionable
attack on Maj. Greene. The high standing
of the gentlemen concerned in the affair
adds to its sensational character.
Col. Barrett is an honored and well
to-do gentleman, and living near the
city; he was at one time part
owner of the Bath Paper Mills, and in the
last Legislative election stood as the Knights
of Labor candidate, but was defeated.
Maj. Greene, as General Manager of the
Georgia Railroad, is favorably known the
Htate over, and both stand high in the public
estimation. The matter now stands as re
lated above.
In justice to Col. Barrett, it must be
stated that he considered the affair solely
or. i between Hight Davis and Maj. Greene,
and, not considering himself responsible for
the attack on Maj. Greene, he did not think
it right that he should be held responsible.
On the trial Hight Davis was exonerated
from the charge of seduction, for which he
was discharged by Maj. Greene. Davis has
many friends in Augusta.
DANGER OF A RACE WAR.
The Situation in Upper South Carolina
Very Serious.
Augusta, Ga., June 28. —Things are
getting lively in upper Carolina. Specials
from Greenville report great excitement
Young men from Dacusville, Pickens coun
ty, and Fairview, Greenville county, are in
Greenville buying arms and ammunition,
lawless whites are banding with the negroes
and adding to the strife. In the Dacusville
section a great meeting is to be held on
the Fourth of July, and unless the State
authorities take some action there is
bound to be trouble. The worst part of the
affair is that the white people are frightened
to the fighting point and will resort to arms
on the hast provocation. The Augusta
Chronicle, prints to-morrow a special re
ceived at midnight saying it is rumored in
Greenville that a body of blacks are march
ing toward that city and that there is much
anxiety, though the rumor failing of verifi
cation the authorities are taking no extra
ordinary precautions.
FLORIDA'S NEW RAILROAD.
The Alabama and Atlantic to be Built
Without Delay.
Palatka, Fla., June 38.—A Morning
News reporter has investigated the rumors
concerning the Alabama, Florida and At
lantic railroad, and finds that the money for
this enterprise is now secured. The reporter
saw the mortgage to the Mercantile Trust
Company of New York providing for $5,-
500,(MX) for the completion of the road, and
the document was filed at Tallahassee yes
terday. The road will lie some .500 miles in
length. The northern, or western, division
begins at Ocala, thence runs through the
counties of Marion, Levy, Alachua, Lafay
ette, Suwannee, Taylor, Madison, .Jefferson,
Wakulla, Leon, Liberty, Gadsden, and
Jackson county to the Alabama State line.
From Ocala south the line (asses through
Orange, Brevard and Dade to the Atlantic.
Work will commence at Woodbridge, in
Orange county, very soon.
John A. Prentice, the originator of this
line, formerly tbe Apopka and Atlantic, has
the contract for seventy-five miles, and will
go to work within ninety days. He will
also lie the sufs-rintendent of the Southern
division. The line goes through a fine farm
ing country, and doubtless a large business
will be realized soon from the line itself. It
•will help the northern counties very much
vuid add very materially to their population
and prospects.
A “grape vine” rumor has it that Maj. St.
Clair-Abrams has secured #9.5.000 for the
completion of his line from Tavares to Kis
simmee. He is now in New York arranging
that and other enterprises.
Heavy rains prevailed through Duval,
Putuani and Bt. John’s counties to-day.
SHOT THROUGH THE LUNO.
Two Farmers Involved In a Fatal
Quarrel at Hawthorne.
Hawthorne, Fla., June 28.— A serious
shooting affair occurred in the southern out
skirts of town this morning about 8 o’clock,
in which Thomas C. Holden shot IV. 11.
Henson through the left lung, from which
he is- suffering greatly, and it is feared that
be has lost much blood internally. The
wound is considered dangerous, but the pa
tient is being ably treated by Drs. W. W.
and \V. C. Johnson. The cause of the shoot
ing cannot be learned, as neither of tbe par
ties has made any statement that has lieen
made public, and there were no witnesses to
the affair, although it is reported that Hol
den was defending himself against the ap
proaches of Henson who had a drawn knife.
Both parties are farmers, stand well in the
community, and have heretofore been
friends.
Millen'e Tournament.
Mii.Len, Oa., June 2H.—This was the sec
ond day of the tournament of the National
Gun Association. The weather was clear
and pleasant. At the sweepstakes contest
this morning Augusta was in the lead, win
ning most of the sweepstakes. The Forest
Citys, Chatfiams and Millen were about
even. The Augusta club was compelled to
return to Augusta to-night and were allowed
to make their score for the medal, whieh
contest takes place to-morrow. Augusta's
score for the modal was only 37 out of a
possible 60. This is far below their record
in the first part, of the day for the sweep
stakes. The shooting this afternoon was
very poor.
Something Better.
From the Wall Street Fetes,
“You ain’t speculating any in cotton now.

Richmond, the other day.
“No, sah—no, sail. Dat is, I ain’t buyin’

f) A GREAT ENGINEERING FEAT.
An Iron Bridge Weighing 1,600 Tons
Moved from Its Position.
The New York Times has the following
dispatch from Philadelphia: Two thousand
people saw a wonderful achievement of
engineering skill at Holmesburg Junction
on the New York division of the Pennsyl
vania railroad to-day. Thirty-two men
moved a distance of fifty feet the iron
bridge, weighing 1,600 tons, that spans the
Pennypock, and they accomplished the great
task in the remarkable time of 11>£ minutes.
The engineers of the road had been long
making preparations for the work of to-day.
Some time ago the company decided to
build a four-arched stone bridge in the
place of the iron structure over the big
creek. The iron bridge had to be moved
west fifty feet that it might be used until
the stone bridge is bunt and ready for
service.
Six weeks ago the men began the big
undertaking with the building of trestle ap
proaches to both sides of the creek at the
point where the iron bridge was to find a
new bed. The trestling had an average
height of twenty-four feet, and is on a line
with the grade of the old railroad. The
timbers of the western approach covered
about 276 feet, while the eastern approach
is 300 feet long.. Piles were then driven in
the middle or the stream, on which was
reared a strong trestlework fifty feet long
and on a level with and contiguous to the
stone pier under the bridge. Trestles of the
same length and height were then built on
both banks of the creek and in a continu
ous line from the stone abutments. These
timbers were to serve both as the resting
place and as the carriage way, over which
the 34-foot-wide bridge was to be gently
moved to its new foundation. Two new iron
rails were laid along the wooden pier in the
stream and two rails on either of the
wooden abutments, and then the rails were
slipped under the centre and both ends of
the bridge.
The rails were well greased. A trial late
yesterday afternoon showed that everything
was in good working order, and it was de
termines! to move the bridge this morning
after 11:04 o'clock, when the fast mail train
whieh leaves New York at 9 o’clock swept
by. and before the approach of the Phila
delphia express which leaves Jersey City at
10 o’clock and passes Holmesburg Junction
at 12:19 o’clock. Long before the hour to
day, people began to nock to the scene. An
army of workmen appeared. Over 300
Italian and Irish laborers were marshal
ed on both sides of the bridge, while
four gangs of carpenters were under it.
George IV. Mershon, the master mecnanic
of the New York division, had charge of
the removal. He placed two men on each
side of a crab, making a force of thirty-two
men to man the machines and the bridge.
Old Billy Lair, a foreman of carpenters,
was planted on the pier. Foreman Kinney,
from Morristown, bad charge of the men at
the eastern abutment, while Master
Mechanic Mershon directed affairs from the
western end. Supt. Crawford, Assistant
Engineer Brooks, of the United Railroads
of New Jersey; Assistant Engineer Gest
and several other officers of the New- York
Division, stood near the ‘ crabs" in the
centre of the bridge.
Every man was at his post, and the great
throng of people was watching with eager
interest when the whiz of the fast line was
heard, and the train thundered over the
bridge, seven minutes late. As it clashed
away Superintendent Ford gave the word
to his army of laborers, and it was a scene
of transitory animation as they tore up rails
and cut away the fastenings of the bridge.
The bridge had no sooner been released than
Mr. Mershon gave the signal, and the thir
ty-two men began to wind the “crabs.” As
the bridge began to slowly move more men
went on it pouring oil on the tallow-greased
railß. Superintendent Crawford and the
other officers held watches in their hands as
the big iron structure moved calmly toward
the eud of the trestling. At one time
the eastern end began to lag. but it was
only for a few moments, and soon the
bridge slid over the rails to its resting place
without a mishap, and in the brief period of
eleven and a half minutes, while a mighty
cheer went up from the people. With light
ninglike rapidity the gangs on both sides of
the creek tore up and laid down frogs,
switches, sleepers, and moved the raiLs to
the new bed. They soon had the rails con
nected with the two tracks on the bridge.
A half hour after the bridge had been cut
loose a heavy construction train was run
over the structure, and at 12:19 the Phila
delphia express dashed across. The work
was a success, and to-morrow morning Con
tractor MeFadden’s men will t>egin to tear
down the old stone pier and abutments, and
before two months the new stone bridge will
be in service.
THE HOUSE GONE LONG AGO.
A Mistake About the Birthplace of
Andrew Johnson.
A Raleigh, N. C., dispatch to the New
York Times says: A recent number of
Harper's Weekly contained a picture of the
house in which Andrew Johnson was bom
in Raleigh. No doubt the Harpers were
honest in their belief that it was the verita
ble bouse in which Johnson first saw the
light, but their information was incorrect.
He was born in a house which has long since
lieen demolished, and which stood on the lot
now occupied by a dry goods store, on Fay
etteville street. After Johnson became
President the Federal officers and men sta
tioned in Raleigh in 1865 naturally took con
siderable interest in his early history, and
one day two officers qjilled on old Mrs. Susan
Stewart and asked her to tell them
what she know of the early life of the Presi
dent, saying that they had lieen directed to
her as one who had known him in his youth.
The old lady replied that she had known
Andrew and his parents, and that she had
named him. She said that at the time of
his birth his (>areiits lived on the back part
of her mother’s lot, which was on Fayette
ville street, about where the store now
stands, as stated before; that she (Mrs.
Stewart) was a gay young woman, and one
night when dressing for a ball received a
message from Polly Johnson asking her to
come out and look at her new baby. She
went and found Polly the mother of a fine
boy. After admiring the future President
she asked his mother what she hail mimed
him. Polly replied: “Miss Susan, as you
made all nis little clothes for him I want
you to name him.” Miss Susan said:
“Well, Polly, I will name him Andrew Mc-
Donald”—after the hero of a novel she
was then reading. Jake Johnson, Polly’s
husband, was sitting by the fire and said:
“Miss Susan, don’t give him such a long
name: I will never recollect it. Call him
{iluin Andrew. ” And that is the way he got
its name, aooonllag to the venerable lady.
Mr*. Stewart further said to the two cu
rious officers: “Gentlemen, you are in the
army of that same Andrew Johnson; I wish
you would toil him that the old woman who
gave him the first rag that ever covered his
nakedness, and who named him, is now tot
tering on the brink of the grave, and that
she would like to see her grandson, George
Whiting, who is a Confederate prisoner of
war, once more liefore she dire.” The above
facts were related to vour correspondent by
that same Gs)rge Whiting after his release
from prison on Johnston’s Island.
The late Chief Justice Ruffin is authority
for saying that Chief Justice Leonard Hen
derson was the father of Andrew Johnson,
and not United States Senator William H.
Haywood, as was generally lielieved. Judge
Ruifin said that this information was iin
parted to him by Judge Henderson and then
by Polly Johnson. At all events that ques
tion which is said to tax the powers of the
wisest child greatly vexed President John
son. because when ho eaine out to Raleigh
to be present at the erection of a monument
over Jacob Johnson, his mother's liuhlnukl,
in his speech lie said that he had come to the
place of his birth to do honor to the man
who “is said to be my father.” The anti
quarians of the town were greatly divided
as to the exact location of the grave, and
Col. James Fontleroy Taylor among others
contended that the’ monument was srectod
in the wrong nbuse.
A TREACHEROUS CROWD.
Reminiscences of One of Craig Tolli
ver’s Gang.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Anent tbe recent killing of Craig Tolliver
and a portion of his Rowan county gang,
Lewis Clark, of this city, formerly a resi
dent of Vanceburg, Lewis county, Ky., tolls
some interesting experiences had with Hy
Cooper, one of the crowd that met death at
the hands of the Sheriff tbe other day.
“When I was a boy.” relates Mr. Clark,
“the Cooper family resided near my own
near Vanceburg, and were considered well
to-do, and even quite wealthy. He was. as
a boy, considered a vicious brute, and was
almost constantly displaying his meanness.
At one time he nearly' gouged one of my
eyes out. Cooper was strong and very
powerful, while I was considerably' smaller.
When the war broke out we both enlisted in
the Sixteenth Kentucky Infantry. Shortly
after that I was
detailed to hunt cooper up
and bring him to the regiment, he having
deserted. Taking a companion with me we
went to his home and placed him under ar
rest. He swore he would not go and made
all sorts of threats, but I bucked and gagged
hun and compelled him to mount behind my
companion and took hun along, swearing he
would kill me if be ever got a chance. I
afterward raised a compauv, of which I was
made Captain of the Tenth Kentucky cav
alry', and did not meet Cooper again until
after the war closed. On my return home
I found that he hail declared around
Vanceburg that he would kill me on sight.
Meeting him in a saloon one day, I walked
up to him and asked if it was true that he
intended to kill me when we met. He replied
that he had said so, but that he had since
changed his mind, and desired to shake
hands and let bygones be bygones. Know
ing his treacherous, cowardly character I
refused his hand and turned to walk away,
when he sprang at me from behind arid
threw me partially to the floor. Recover
ing myself,
I PULLED MY GUN AND BLAZED AWAY
as he was going over a back fence, the bul
let striking him in the forehead, and, run
ning around the skull, lodged in the back of
the neck. He passed around the building
and out on the street, where I gave him a
second shot, only a flesh wound, and one of
his relatives gave him a horse, on which he
left the neighborhood for a time. I was
satisfied he intended to kill me, for I had
been bushwhacked twice before I met him,
and I was certain he did the whacking.
The whole Tolliver gang was made up of
mffn who were too treacherous and cow
ardly to meet their foes openly, unless out
numbering them. They always shot in the
back.”
Mr. Clark was for a number of years in
the revenue service, his duties requiring his
services in Rowan and Lewis counties and
that vicinity, and he came in contact with
these people frequently.
Clark also declares * that the first gun of
the war was fired in Lewis county, and not
at Fort Sumter. The people there were
about evenly divided on the Union question,
and many a pitched battle was fought before
hostilities actually opened. Mr. Clark is
now a contracting painter.
