POISONED WITH A SNAKE
NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH AT
TdS HANDS OF AN ENEMY-
The Fead and Part of the Body
of the Reptile Thrown Into a Well
to Pollute the Matter-Horrible Buf
fering of the Negroes Who Drank
the Water—The Man Suspected.
Brunswick, Ga., July 1. William
Stevens, his wife and three children (ool
ored, living within two miles of Sterling, a
station on the East Tenuessee road thirteen
miles from Brunswick, had a narrow es
caped from death this week from slow
poisoning administered in a peculiar man
ner by a revengeful neighbor. News of the
poisoning reached Brunswick to-day and a
fast horse soon carried the Morning News
correspondent to the scene of the crime.
STORY OF THE POISONING.
Near Stephens' cabin a group of negroes
were standing excitedly diaeussing the
matter, and from them and later, from re
liable persons, a story of the poisoning was
obtained. Stevens and his family have for
a long been suing and being sued by a
negro neighbor about trivial matters and
their constant recourse to the courts has
caused a feeling of bitternessjhetweou them,
uutil lately it ha-* reached white beat, and
the interested parlies concluded to kill off
Stevens and his family, hoping to thus rid
themselves of their enemies.
A bNAKJi USED AH POISON.
f*tom the woods a large rattlesnake was
secured. His head, with a short piece of
body attached, was cut off, and this was
placed in a tin baking powder box.
Through the box holes were punched and to
it a brick was tied. This was carried to
Steven’s well and thrown in. The head put
rifled and decayed. The poisonous matter
from the snake oozed through the per
forated box aud into the otherwise pure
water. Stevens and his family, unaware of
their danger, drank and used the water for
cookiog.
EFFECT OF THE POISON.
Monday their bodies began swelling.
Tueedav the swelling increased; their mus
cltw ached, and their eyes, once white,
turned blood-red. Their mouths were
parched, ami water from the poisoned well
was vainly used to quench their raging
thirst Totally unconscious of their danger,
the negroes still used the water, until Anally
the entire family was stricken down and
became unable to move their limbs. Their
eyes were swollen out of proportion.
Friends happened along and medical aid
was secured. The water was tested, found
impure, and other water secured. To-day
the well was dragged, the box contain
ing the deadly dose touud, and the unusual
sickness of the family explained. They are
now improving, and later will take steps to
apprehend the person who committed the
deed.
MO KB TIME WANTED.
Eagle and Phenix Bsnk Depositors
Asked to Wait.
Columbus, Ga., July I.—This morning
depositors in the Engle and Phenix Sav
ings Bank came in from nil sections of the
surrounding country to withdraw their
deposits in acoordauce with the recent un
derstanding with the directors of the com
pany. The depositors did not get their
money and some of them are dissatisfied,
Others w ere gratified by the showing made
by the officers and there is no doubt but
that every dollar of depositsjwill ultimately
be paid. President Bigsby was interviewed
to-night, and made the followi g state
ment: "On Jan. 1, 1891, the company owed
its depositors 11,341,000. Since that date
we have paid the depositors $450,000. Ou
Jau. 1 our bills payable were $214,000. Since
that time we have paid $160,000 of them.
We are well supplied with ootton, have not
less than $500,000 of quick asset*, and ran
easily meet all the running expenses of the
mill. We will pay to depositors
during this week SIOO,OOO in
cash, aud will pay probably
$200,000 more with the bonds. The bonds
sell readily and are considered a capital in
vestment. The company is now doing ex
tremely well and with a little indulgence
from the depositors can easily close its sav
ings department in from four to five months.
Much the greater part of the depositors are
perfectly satisfied and in a spirit of
liberality will aid the mills to settle with all
of their depositors by grautmg such indul
gence as may be desired.”
TAMS MOCKINGBIRDS.
They Fly to a Darien Lady's Window
and Eat From Her Hand.
Darien, Ga., July I.—Mrs. Wm.J. Don
nelly, wife of the ordinary of this county,
bas several mockingbirds around her
premises that are so tame that they fly to
the window aud take raisins from her hand.
Mr. Donuelly says that in the earlv morning
one of these birds will fly in at the window
and perch upon the foot of the bed. There
are also several blue jays that fly down lu
bis yard every day and partake of food with
the chickens. These birds have never been
caged, but liave become tamed iu the past
two months.
The above brings to mind what an eye
witness says regarding coons. He says that
the late keeper of the W olf Island light had
the coons under such control that the wild
ones would come out of the marsh and
climb up on bis chair, sometimes slapping
him so as to make him understand that
they wore hungry.
Over 72,000,000 feet of timber was
shipped from this port during the year
1890.

the pres the first information published.

the negroes to take action in the matter.

AN ATLANTA FAKE.
A Paper Writes Op an Alleged Plot
to Shoot a Hangman.
Atlanta, Qi., July 1. —A wild and lurid
story in a local morning paper about a deep
laid plot among the negroes to shoot down
the hangman as soon as the trap is sprung
at the Washington execution to-morrow,
has stirred up colored circles from center to
circumference. The howl is long and loud.
K. J. Henry, adjutant of the local
colored battalion, and other well
known negroes deny the story iu toto, aud
finally it Is repudiated by Henry Paine,
who was quoted as having revealed the
plot over his cups in a barroom. It is pos
sible, however, that Faiue indulged in more
idle talk yesterday than he deems it wise to
remember this morning.
Washington’s friends besieged the gover
nor to-day, as they do every day, for a re
spite. None uas forthcoming, however,
tuough a letter received from Washington
himself seemed to touch the tender sympa
thies of the executive. The gallows has
been erected and every preparation made
for the execution, and nobody doubts but
by this time to-morrow night the murderer
will have gone to bis account.
GRODND INTO A PULP.
A Negro’s Leg Caught Under the
Wheels of a Tram Road Engine.
Brunswick, Ga., July I.— Waynesville
is ooming to the front on tragedies. Follow
ing dose upoq the attempted lynching, was
an accident to-day by which Spencer
Wallace (colored) lost a leg. Wallace left on
an excursion train from Brunswick at
Waynesville to-day and made for a tram
road engine m-ar by, which he intended
boarding and riding to a tie camp a few
miles away. The engine started off as
Spencer attempted to jump on. He missed
his footing and one leg was caught between
the wheels, which work by beveled cogs.
Before he could jerk away his leg, it was
drawn through the cogs and emerged
ground Into a pulp. Wallace was put ou a
traiu for Brunswick, and upon bis arrival
here was treated by Dr. R. E. L. Burford.
Later he was carried to the city hospital
and his leg amputated by Drs. Burford,
Dunwoody aud Tucker.
NO ST at E FAIR.
A Probability That the Usual Fall
Show Won’t be Held.
Macon, Ga., July I.—The premium com
mittee of the State Agricultural Society,
after long sessions last night.and to-day, ad
journed after having decided that the whole
matter of e fair be referred to the meeting
of the executive committee of the society to
be held in Augusta. Looking at the matter
as it now stands it appears that there will be
no state fair this year for the reason that if
the executive committee should decide to
hold oue at the regular time, the officials
would have only about two months in whioh
to prepare for the exhibition, and a credit
able show would be almost out of the
question. It is hardly probable that any
movement will be made to hold a fair else
where, as under her contract with the
society, the city of Macon would imme
diately file an injunction which would stay
any such proceedings.
A CORPSE FOR A ROOMMATE.
Lodgers in a Boarding House Awake
to an Unpleasant Surprise.
Atlanta, Ga. , July I.—A white man
giving his name as T. S. Harrison applied
late last night at the Clower’s house, a
cheap boarding place on Deoatur street, for
lodging. He was sent to sleep iu a room
containing several beds already occupied.
Early this morning the other occupants of
the apartment bundled out in a great hurry
aud alarm, having suddenly discovered
that they had unconsciously passed the
night sleeping beside a corpse. The police
and coroner searched for marks of violence,
but found instead every indication of
morphine poisoning, and the jury im
paneled brought in a verdict in accordance
with this discovery. Harrison was a car
penter and little known here.

THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, JULY 2,1591.
PROHIBITION IN CLARKE.
THE LA 1 T NIGHT OK THE OKEAT
CAMPAIGN.
Speakers of Both didos Holding Forth,
and the Whole County Out for the
Fray-The Poll* to Open Early This
Morning Both Sides Confident of
Victory.
Athens, Ga., July 1. —Athens is all ex
citement to-night. The prohibition ques
tion, which has been agitating the public
now for the past few months, is to be sub
mitted to the voters of Clarke county again,
and to-morrow is the eventful day. Both
sides are well organized and the fight has
been the bitterest in the history of the
county. Every inch of ground has been
contested during the campaign, and both
sides are confident of victory by between
150 and 300 majority. To-night is the last
chance to get at the voters before the elec
tion, and each faction is embracing every
opportunity to present their side befors the
people.
FIGHT OF THE ANTIS.
The “antis” under the name of "the Law
and Order party” are strongly supported,
and many of Athens' leading citizens are
found iu their ranks. Their idea is to bring
liquor back to Athens under strict police
control and thus rid the city of the immor
tal “Blind Tiger.” "The pros" are against
the liquor traffic, but willing to have a dis
pensary to be operated by the city where
liquor can be had only by the quart, pint
aud gallon sold in original packages and
not to be drunk on the premises. This
plank in the prohibition platform Is des
tined to break up the blind tiger
and has proven quite popular
with the people. The antis have come
over on this platform. To-night public
speaking in different parts of town is filling
the air with shouts, and out in the open
fields of the country the great question is
being discussed. The prohibitionists are
rallying at Evangelist Culpepper’s tent in
l’uryer’s district, and at Brad berry's, while
the anti-prohibitionists are firing their big
guns from a platform on Broad street.
THK WHOM CITY OUT.
Every citizen of Athens is out and the
occasion recalls forcibly the famous
Hpeer and Candler campaign in the old
Ninth district. Speaking will continue far
into the morning and in seven hours the
polls will tie open. At the same hour the
union service will begin at the First
Methodist church and continue all day
until the polls close. A number of leading
merchants will close their business houses
to-morrow and devote their entire time to
tho cause they espouse. This fight will be a
notable one in the history of this county.
SHORT IN HIS ACOOUNT3.

Change in Trouble.
Macon, Ga., July L—T. L. Gufford,
former sscretary of the alliance exchange in
this city, is under a bond of S2OO to answer
before the superior court to a charge of
larceny after trust. The particular charge
against Gufford is that be failed to pay out
money placed in his hands for the settlement
of an account of SB. In looking over She ac
counts of Gufford the exchange officials find
that there is a shortage of about SI,OOO. It
consists in part of unpaid bills of small
amounts and the remainder consists of s.’>oo
in notes given by farmers to secure debts to
the exchange and S4OO paid on stock in the
exchange which was never acoounted for.

alarm before Madden bad accomplished bis
object. Madden oould not give bond and
was sent to jail.

Helena, Ga. , July I.— Between 9 and 10

provement Cos. at this place. Owing to the
start, and dry weather, the building was
wholly destroyed and it was with difficulty
that the adjoining building was saved. The
loss is about SBOO. The fire is believed to have
been accidental, as there was much trash
about.
Crops are very fair notwithstanding the
dry weather, reaches are a failure. Cotton
looks badly; but corn is doing well.

Brunswick, Ga., July 1. —The city
council mot to-night to elect anew noard of

body beoause the oouncil restricted their
powers. Ou motion the entire old board

BANDERSVILLB SIFTINGS.
The Contract for the New Jail—The
Peach Crop
Sandkrsvillb, Ga., July I.—The con
tract for building the new jail and jailer’s
residence for Washington county was to
day awarded to the Pauly Jail Building
Company of Bt. Louis, Mo., for #12,150.
There were three other bidders—Van Dorn
Iron Works Company. Cleveland, O.;
Manly Manufacturing Company, Dalton,
Ga., and Champion Iron Company, Ken
yon, O.
One of the most eligible sites in the city
has been secured for the new building.
The jailor's residence will be two stones,
and the jail will also be two stories,
and will be immediately in the rear of the
former. The buildings will be of rock,
brick and steel and w ill be constructed in
modern style, with all necessary conven
ience for safety, heating, ventilating and
flushing. The building committee consists of
M. Newman, ordinary; George D. Warthen,
William Martin and C. R. Pringle. They
will have a durable building erected, one
which will serve the county for 100 years, or
perhaps 300. The last grand jury recom
mended that a jail be built, not
to exceed #15,000 in cost. This will be
done without any increase in the rate of
taxation, as the present rate brings in a
revenue of about #4,000 per annum in ex
cess of the county expenses, and the surplus
will be used in payment of the proposed
buildings, the payments to be made In three
annual installments. Work will probably
begin at once, if the county can get pos
session of the property, which is now used
as a raside nee lot. If not, the committee will
wait until Jan. 1 before beginning the
work.
The young men of Bandersville have or
ganized a military company, and are now

and the bovs are very enthusiastic. Anew
company has also been organized at Ten
nille. Tbeso are the only military organ
izations in Washington county.
The annual picnic at Jordan’s mill, a few
miles from Bandersville, will take place
Saturday, July 4. A big crowd will be in
attendance, and the social reunion will be
one of the enjoyable features of the day.
A large number of our people will go to
Savannah Monday on the excursion train.
The early peach crop has been almost a
total failure in this section. There are some
trees full of fruit which will ripen about
the latter part of July, and the fruit grow
ers are anticipating good prices. This sec
tion produces as fine peaches as can te
grown anywhere, and if some plau could
bo devised to prevent destruction of the
crop by the late frosts we would have an
abundance of this luscious fruit every year.
There is plenty of other kinds of fruit.
