All of those In the accident resided at Loudon with the exception of Robert Byrd, who was accompanied by his cousin, a young man bearing the same name, and who fortunately was uninjured.

The body of Engineer Hudgeons was hurled over board by the force of the explosion, and floated dowil the stream. Robert Byrd had been away from his home. Paint Rock.

Feb. 24 —What is regarded as a daring attempt to get at the vaults of the Varlck bank, with the intention of loafing them, has just beep made. The srould-be robber* severely wounded a night watchman, who was the single pro tector of the vaults. Springing on him in the dark of the basement of the Wool Exchange building, at Beach street and West Broadway, they knocked him senseless by a blow on the forehead that made a wide gash in the akin. Trained for just such an emer gency. he cried out as the blow fell. His cry, the noise which resulted from his fall, or, perhaps, the belief that they had killed him. frightened the men off and they es caped. The treasure room was perfectly guard ed by electrical devices and if the cracks men had succeeded in entering, the police undoubtedly would have swooped down upon them. General Funston declares that some onr has been lying about him. We felt our selves that his press agent should have been rebuked some time ago.

THE GRIP AGAIN THIS DANGEROUS EPIDEMIC HAS MADE ANOTHER APPEARANCE. Hundreds of New Victims Added to Its List—A Suggestion as to How to Guard Against It and Its After-Effects. Every year upon the approach of spring the grip makes its appearance. Once ev ery few years it spreads and assumes alarming proportions. From all appear ances this is one of the years in which it will seise upon a great number of vic tims. for every day new cases are re ported. As In scarlet and typhoid fever, the after-effects of grip are often worse than the disease itself. The sufferer is left with a debilitated system, short of breath upon the slightest exertion, affected by every change of the weather and in a physical condition to invite the attack of the manj- diseases Induced by the incle ment weather of early spring. A timely suggestion as to how to en able the system to resist the Inroads of grip and Its after-effects Is given by Mrs. Mary E. Chase, an operator in a shoe factory, living at No. 2775 Washington street. Roxbury Diet., Boston, Mass. She say*: “I had an attack of the grip in 1891 wt’ch left me in such a weak condition that I became afflicted with a complica tion of other troubles. I suffered from nervous dyspepsia and a disease peculiar to my sex. There was a bad feeling in my head, yet it whs not headache. 1 took cold easily and had periodical spells of nausea. I would faint frequently, and was completely run down in every way. I tried several doctors, and took various remedies, but without favorable results. •'Finally a friend, who had taken them herself, advised me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I did so. and was feeling better when I had taken one box of the pill*. I continued in the use of the pills until I had taken six boxes and they made me well and strong. “I have recommended Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to quite a number of people as a cure for constipation and to help them get good blood. I know, by per sonal experience, that they will give won derful results.” It is of the utmost Importance to your health if you have suffered from the grip, that you should cleanse the system of the lingering germs and put It in condition to resist and ward off disease. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People are valuable in cases like the above be cause of the double action—on the nerves and on the blood, a feature, tn which they are unlike other medicine. For this reason they cannot be successfully imi tated so do not let any dealer palm off an inferior article on you. The genuine pills are never sold In loose bulk but al ways in packages and the well-known trade-mark on the wrapper is your guar antee that the contents are genuine. There are few diseases due to impov erished blood or weakened nerves that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills will not benefit. Some of the cures effected are almost miraculous. If you are suffering and or dinary treatment falls to relieve you, send your name and address, together with a brief description of your case, to the Dr. Williams Medicine Company. Schenecta dy. N. T. If, the remedy has not cured cases like yours it will not be recommend ed to you. The pills will be sent by mall, if desired, postpaid, on receipt of price, fifty cents per box; six boxes for two dol lars and a half. ORATORICAL CONTEST WILL BE HELD APRIL 25 The annual oratorical contest between the college* in the state will be held at the Grand opera house on the evening of April 25. The University of Georgia, the Georgia School of Technology, Emory college, the North Georgia Agricultural and Mechanical college and Mercer uni versity will be represented at the con test. • The arrangements have not been quite completed, but a definite program can be announced in the next few days. The col lege men tn the state are looking forward with great pleasure to the event, and on that day Atlanta will be thronged with thousands of collegians and their sup porters. College girls from Wesleyan. Lucy Cobb, Forsyth, LaGrange. Gainesville. College Park. Milledgeville and other places will be on hand wearing the colors of their favorites. The contest was to have been held last October, but was postponed on account of some of the colleges not being ready to enter. The Georgia baseball team will meet the Techs here on April 25 and 26. and the games will be witnessed, no doubt, by thousands of college boys and girls. The oratorical contest is always a big event in Atlanta and will bring large crowds of people from every section of Georgia. honJkjhomson MEETS TRAGIC DEATH DETAILS OF ACCIDENT NEAR HO MER MONDAY—VICTIM WAS MEMBER OF LEGISLATURE. HOMER. Ga., Feb. 25.-The Hon. J. K. Thompson, representative of Banks coun ty. was killed yesterday by a bank of dirt from a canal falling on him. covering him 15 or 20 feet deep. Underneath the bank Mr. Thompson and quite a number of hands were digging a large canal, which was about 150 yards long and 20 feet deep. He had called the force of hands for dinner with the ex ception of one negro man, Stark Perry. At 12:30 o’clock another hand returned and found that the south side of the canaj had slided off, covering Mr. Thompson and the negro underneath the cave. The alarm was promptly given and some 50 or 75 hands were put to work with the intention of recovering the two bodies. At 7 o’clock’p. m. the two bodies were found, neither being very badly dis figured. » Mr. Thompson has represented Banks county in the upper and lower house of the legislature ever since 1388. He was known far and wide and loved by all the people of this county for his many good traits of character. He was 54 years of age, leaving a family of a wife and six sons to mourn his loss. His sad accident is deeply felt by the people of this county. coloneUobear is retired FROM ACTIVE DUTY Col. William G. Obear has been relieved from active duty as Inspector general of state troops, and hereafter will serve only when needed by Governor Candler. Col. Obear was notified Monday that his active services would be needed no longer for the present. It has been reported that his retirement was due to the failure of the military bill which was before the house and senate at the last session to pass, but this report is aenied by Governor Candler and other of ficials connected with the state war de partment. Colonel Obear has rendered the state valuable service in many ways and his work will always be appreciated. THE SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, 6 EXPLOSIONS JAR CRIPPLE CREEK TREMENDOUS EXCITEMENT OCCA SIONED BY WHITECAPPERS. BLOODHOUNDS ON THEIR TRAIL. VICTORIA, Col.. Feb. 21-Crlpple Creek is in a furore owing to the persistent at tack upon all the leading assay offices doing business in the district. Beginning at 3 o’clock this morning and following in rapid succession, six explo sions wrecked as many assay offices in the centers ranging from Victor to Cripple Creek and up to Goldfield. In every in stance the object sought by the incendi aries was accomplished by the destruction of the offices with their fine equipment of delicate balances. The raiders did not hesitate to jeopardize life, as all the buildings were occupied by sleeping families. As it was, men. women and children were hurled out of their beds by the shocks and serious injuries in flicted. The full extent of the damage cannot be estimated. z In this city the Davenport office was wrecked by two explosions, involving a loss of at least $1,200. At the same time the assay offices of Vanderwalker. Morgan and Williams were treated likewise. The loss was approximately as large as the Davenport. One man, a miner, was severely Injured at the explosion at the Williams office. He was passing at the moment of the ex plosion. Flying debris struck him in the face, gashing his eyes, and may result in total blindness. In Cripple Creek, Benjamin’s assay of fice, north of the Florence and Cripple Creek depot, was blown up. In the town of Goldfield, about a mile and a half north of here, almost simultaneously, Boyce’s office and another assaylst establishment were wrecked. Boyce’s family occupied an adjoining room. Mrs. Boyce was blown out of bed, but escaped without serious in jury. The family living in the other es sayist office were blown out of bed but escaped serious Injury. In this city the powder was placed un der the building. The house In which a family lived next to the Williams assay office here was much damaged and a woman was prostrated. Sheriff Robert son has called out his deputies and is taking all means to discover, If possible? the perpetrators of the crimes. The general Impression here this morn ing is that the acts are the result of a general movement to rid the district of all high grade ore, purchasing substitutions. Bloodhounds from Canon City have been called for. Note premium list In this issue, make your selection and subscribe at once. DOWN hTdOOLY COUNTY TERRELL TALKS TO VOTERS VIENNA, Feb. 25.-Hon. J. M.

Broughton spolfe to a large audience Sunday night at the Baptist Tab ernacle on “Politics." With a few intro ductory remarks in which he gave the reasons why he thought a minister of the gospel ought to have a voice in politics Dr. Broughton launched into his subject with gloves off. He endorsed the candidacy of Hon. Du- Pont Guerry for governor. He called at tention to the temperance platform Adopt ed by the conventions of the Baptists. Methodists and Presbyterians of the state and said that the members of the church es which have pledged their support to this platform are in duty bound to stand by the candidate who is opposed to the liquor traffic. Dr. Broughton spoke In part as follows: “There are now practically only two candidates in the field for governor, and they are Mr. Guerry and Mr. Terrell. They are both good, honorable, high-toned gentlemen personally, but this is not only a campaign of men, but also of measures. Our joint temperance committee has writ ten letters to Mr. Terrell and Mr. Guerry and we asked them two questions. First, are you for state prohibition; and, sec and, will you. if elected, stand by the bill framed by the temperance caucus and passed by the legislature. Mr. Terrell has answered ‘No,’ to both questions, and Mr. Guerry answered ‘Yes’ to both questions. Now I ask you in the name of God what are you going to uo as Christian men? “I ask you to think upon this question seriously. We have a chance in Georgia, and if the Christian men will assert their citizenship wo will win.” The Seml-Weekly Journal reachep the subscribers twice a week, and the New York World three times a week, which will give you five papers per week, all for $1.50. Address The Jour nal. Atlanta. Ga. MRS. EDDY’S FfilTH IS DENOUNCED IS IJIUD REV. W. J. HOLTZCLAW SAYS THE CREED IS BLASPHEMOUS AND MRS. EDDY IS AN ILLITER- ATE IMPOSTER. Christian Science was the subject of a sermon Sunday night by Rev. W. J. Holtz claw, pastor of the Jones Avenue Baptist church, who spoke from his own pulpit. The faith he declared to be blasphemous and a fraud. Mrs. Eddy he declared to be an illiterate imposter who Is working for money and who knows her doctrines to be deceits. His text was Colosslans. 11:8: “Beware lest any man spoil you through philoso phy and vain deceit.” In part Dr. Holtzclaw spoke as follows: "The fad is a frpud and I have facts to prove it. Who is Mfs. Mary Baker G. Eddy, who poses as the author of the fad? She is a woman now about 85 years of age, notwithstanding that ) her followers are forced to sell a plcturd made from a cray on drawing representing a woman of 40 years and which purports to be a picture of Mrs. Eddy. The purpose of this is to show what so-called Christian Science will do toward preservlng 1 tpe body- Mrs. Ed dy’s picture as she appears today look* to be that of an old womsn at least 90 years old. Mrs. Eddy teaches her followers to believe that God has revealed to her the power to cause disease, death and busi ness disaster, and yet at the same time she teaches them that sickness and pain do not really exist. Where is the har mony in this? As a result of this duping hundreds of children and others are al lowed to suffer for the| want of medical at tention. The North American Review re cently gave an account of a case in New York where a half-grown boy was allowed to suffer with a broken or diseased leg for two weeks. “The board of health reported the case to Dr. Purinton, of the Bellvue hospital, who had the boy’s leg amputated after gangrene had blackened the leg from the foot to the knee, and thus saved the poor boy’s life. Hundreds of such cases are oc curring now through the influence of this blasphemous woman. If she were in pri vate life, being a woman as she is, I would hesitate to speak as I must; but she is not only in public life, bue she is behind a gigantic duping institution which is duping the dupes to her own enrich ment. Mrs. Eddy was born in the town of Bow, N. H., and was very poor. For a time, in her early life, she made her liv ing as a spiritualist medium, and gave public stances for money in and around Boston. Her first husband was a Mr. Glover, who died at Wilmington, N. C., and was buried in the potter's field. A •boy child was afterwards born to Mrs. Glover, who is now in the west and sel dom, if ever, comes to see his mothet. Mrs. Eddy is now rich, and 'notwithstand ing that she speaks of this first husband in endearing terms in her books, his body still lies in the potter's field. Her second husband was a dentist named Patterson, who was captured at the battle of Bull Run, and while he was in prison she se cured a divorce from him. Her third hus band was Asa G. Eddy, whose name she now bears.” For $1.40 we will send the Semi- Weekly one year and the Five Vaseline Toilet Articles and any one of the premium papdrs offered with The Semi-Weekly at SI.OO.

Feb. 24.—A movement is on foot to induce the Southern railway to change the site of its passenger depot, sq as to give passengers who come through Macon a differept idea about what the city looks like.

It has been improved very little since. UNDERTAKER ACQUITTED OF A SERIOUS CHARGE BIRMINGHAM. Ala.. Feb. 24.—John D.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.—The president has withdrawn his invitation extended to Senator Tillman, of South Carolina, to attend the dinner to be given tonight in honor of Prince Henry, of Prussia, at the White House. It is stated that this action on the part of the president was made neces sary from the fact that it was due to the occurrences on the floor of the senate last Saturday, when the senator from South Carolina was declared in contempt of the senate. Senator Martin of Virginia, a member of the committee on naval affairs, has accepted an invitation in Mr. Tillman's < place. The invitation was extened originally to Mr. Tillman owing to the fact that he is the ranking minority member of the naval affairs committee. ’ Senator Frye, president pro tern, of the senate, gave directions to the clerks of the senate today that the names of tors Tillman and McLaurin, of South Carfl olina, must not be called on roil calls until further notice. This fixes the status of the senators, who are practically suspended from all senatorial functions. The president sent for Senator Cockrell, of Missouri, and asked him as a friend and democratic colleague of Mr. Tillman to suggest to the latter the propriety of withdrawing his acceptance of the din ner invitation. Mr. Cockrell accepted the commission and later telephoned to the president that Mr. Tillman absolutely refused to with draw his acceptance, in response to the president’s suggestion. The president Immediately cancelled the invitation in a note he dispatched di rectly to Mr. Tillman. Commenting on the letter Mr. Tillman says: "The president, of course, has the right to invite any one he chooses to dine with him officially or otherwise and also has the right to withdraw such invitation. As I am not conscious of having done any thing personal or official which gives the president the right to insult, I am sur prised at his action. The invitation to the dinner came to me unsought and unex pectedly, and so far as the withdrawal is concerned, it is a matter of absolute in difference to me. / "It is the njotlve behind n which seeks to put me in the condition of unworthiness to meet the president and his guest before final action by Ihe senate comes from a country where custom makes it obligatory upon any man who regards himself a gen tleman to promptly resent an insult and the method is by challenge to a duel. • “That was once the custom, but it is now obsolete in the United States, and we have been forced as a people here to cling to the old Anglo-Saxon rule of consider ing the He direct as the first blow, and no man could hold up his head in decent so ciety should he, being near enoilgh to an swer the lie with a blow, not to give it.” “As for my being in contempt of the senate whibh I presupje is the excuse for this insult at the hands of the president that I deny. I have been guilty of a breach of the rules and the privileges of the senate. The senate was not sitting as a court but as a legislative assembly. “It has the right to expel me if it sees fit and I am ready to abide by its judg ment and action. It has the right to ar rest me and hold me in custody until it makes disposition of my case, but it has no right to gag me, and'the president has no right to judge trie guilty of conduct unbecoming a gentleman until he belles all his antecedents, which lead.one to believe that he would have done just as 'I did under the circumstances. “As to which of us is the gentleman in this matter, in view of the unsought in vitation to dinner, at the white housq, and its indecent withdrawal, I am willing to abide by the judgment of all brave and self respecting men." The first roll call in the senate on the "Philippines bill was on an amendment presented by Mr. Patterson repealing the Philippines commission sedition' law. When the place was reached where Mr. McLaurin’s name shoald have been called Mr. Patterson rose and protested against the skipping of McLaurin’s name. There were cries of “Regular order” on the Republican side and the chair direct ed the roll call to proceed. Mr. Turner continued to discuss the matter, although many points of order were sustained, Mr. Turner appealing each time and insisting on his right to be heard. Efforts were made to prevent him from proceeding. Finally Mr. Turner rose to a question of personal privilege and Mr. Frye said he felt bound to recognize any senator who rose to a question of privilege, and Mr. Turner proceeded ques tioning the right of the senate or presi dent pro tern, to deprive a member of the senate of the right to votp. TILLMAN AND M’LAURIN MAY FIGHT A DUEL WASHINGTON, D. C„ Feb. 25.—1 n re ply to President Roosevelt’s letter, re calling an invitation to the Prince Henry dinner at white house last night. Sena tor Tillman wrote the president that he comes from a country where the epi thet "liar” was followed by a duel, but in this end of the country duelling is not countenanced. Under the same circumstances he believ ed the president in view of his past his tory would have acted as he did and re sented it by blows. Senator McLaurin Saturday night held a conference with Senator Pritchard and asked him if he would bear a formal challenge to Tillmart. The challenge was already written out. It is said Pritchard declined and advised McLaurin to tear the challenge up. From these expressed sentiments on duelling by both the principals in the fight it is freely .predicted they will meet in the field, if not here some where in South Carolina. mutilatedbodFof YOUNG GIRL DISCOVERED BONHAM, Tex., Feb. 25.—Parties out walking discovered the remains of Lena May Prendergrast .aged 17, who has been missing since December 23 last.

ROME, Ga., Feb. 25.—The dispensary electors were enjoined by Judge Henry yesterday at 11 o’clock. The injunction holds until next Monday, when argument will be heard at the courthouse. t A petition was presented to Judge Henry at Lafayette asking,,that the dispensary electors be enjoined. The grounds cf the petition number 17, in addition to a number of sub-heads. Among the grounds are: The act of the legislature Is void because it contains more than one subject matter and different from the caption.
