I
anting Cotton.- -Nearly all the
farmers are hard at work this week
planting cotton, and we hear of a few
who have finished. This is rather early,
but all pros|>cct of frost is over.
Cleaning Ur.—Those fine bottoms on
each side of the Lexington road, on the
Billups’ place, have been cleaned off and
litchcd, and is now one of the first
pieces of land in Clarke county.
Net Grass.—Several line gardens in
Athens are ruined with this worthless
grass. By sprinkling the land with salt
it can be easily gotten rid of—although if
von put on too much you will kill your
land also, for several years.
Hiltokic Trees.—The old oak tree
in front of the chapel and the big
chestnut tree in rear of the Cultivator
office, are two of the oldest institu
tions in Athens, except the big rock
U]H)ii which the town is built.
Ol'K New Sion.—Yesterday the
Messrs. Parr put up a beautiful new
sign for the Banner-Watchman office.
It is gilt letters on a black ground,
and reflects great credit upon the taste
of Mrs. Calvin Parr, who painted it.
A Bee Ball.—A large swarm of
bees have taken charge of the gilt
bull on top of the Presbyterian stee
ple, and has it doubtless filled with
honey. They enter the holes around
its sides, and find a safe and cozy re
treat within.
Tiie PauperFarm.—Clarke county
may well be proud ofher pauper farm,
under the management of Mr. John
II. Tuck. The fields are worked like
a garden, the houses are nicely paint
ed, and everything looks as clean and
neat as a pin.
Captured Treasure.—There is a
a man now living in Athens who
found a bag containing $2,000 in gold
in an old bake oven, while passing
through Pensylvania with Lee: Ana
what is better, he brought it safely
home with him.'
China Berry Whisky.—There
was an old German during the war
living in Athens, named Hines, and
did nn immense business distilling
whisky from China berries. The
China I terry whisky- was sold by all
tlie dealers in liquors at that time.
The Cause.—Some of our citizens
seem to think that the revisors of the
last jury lists are indirectly to blame
for some of the present trouble be
tween tlie races. Taking white men
off tlie lists and putting negroes on
certainly has a tendency that way.
Picnic.—There will be a picnic at
Gum 8prlng next Friday. Athens
will doubtless turn out in force.
A Trophy.—Ham Wynn carries a
watch that he received as prise when
a farmer boy, for raising 109 bushels
and three quarts of corn on one acre of
land by his own exertions.
A Noble Lady.—Very few people in
Athens know, perhaps, that there is
a Isdy buried in Oconee cemetery who
was the daughter of an English bank
er, millionaire and n rifleman.
Fine Water.—The old Rock’spring
in rear of the Lucy Cobb institute was
a few years ago a great resort for ram
blers on Sunday evenings; bat now it
is never spoken of. It is beyond doubt
tfie best water in Athens.
Aroused.—A .leading gentleman
from Clayton, Rabun county, writes
us: “Up here we look upon the ap
pointment of negroes to high Impor-
portant offices as a vindictive intuit to
the people of the whole State.”
Got Religion.—A case-hardened
sinner got religion last week atone of
our colored churches and it had such
an effect upon him that he made for
the prCRcher and caught him by the
neck and lifted him off the floor two
or three times. It took most of the
male members of the church to keep
the convert from running over the
women and hold him down.
The College Museum.—Workmen
have beer, overhauling the upper floor
of the chapel, in which the museum
attached to the University is located,
with a view to re-arranging the curi
osities here stored and putting them
again on exhibition. There are many
rare and valuable relicts here kept,
for many years beyond the benefit of
the public, and we think it a wise
provision in theTrustees if they will
have them properly arranged and put
on exhibit. They are lion-packed away
without order, and if not collected
many will be ruined or their identity
lost.
THE GEORGIA EXTENSION.
East Athens.—The citizens living
in East Athens (over the river) are
thinking about petitioning the proper
authorities to h^ve that part of the
city cut off. They think that they
could have better streets aud more
improvements for less money than
they are getting now.

Messrs. Orr & Hunter have an unpre

and are selling an immense amount of it.
Their sales exi ecd their most sanguine
expectations. This acid has been tested
Lv our planters for years, and it has a
-pie' diil reputation. Farmers can,
" ith its use, manufacture a festilizer as
food as the Is st at a small cost.

Marriages.—Miss Georgia John
son, of Lexington, and Mr. Wright, of
Bowman, were lately married. Mr. R.
J. Stokely, of Crawford, and Miss Do-
rah Haire, of Lexington, were also
united iu the holy bands of matrimo
ny yesterday. Miss Dora is one of the
nicest young ladies we ever knew, and
our best wishes attend her.
The extension of the Georgia rail
road over into the heart of Athens is
no longer a matter of doubt, but is now
a settled fact. The contract for erect
ing the bridge over the Oconee has al
ready been awarded to an Atlanta con
tractor, who is now selecting timber
for the purpose. It will be a magnifi
cent structure—one span reaching
across tlie stream. It will be built to
stand for years, and ou the most im
proved plan. This bridge will be
erected about the middle of the old
field above the lower bridge. Every
train is bringing stone for culverts,
and work on them will he begun at
once. The granite for this purpose
comes from Stone Mountain. The only-
bridge on the extension will be across
the river—the intervening ravines
and creeks are to be filled, excepting
culverts sufficiently large to carry ail
water. The contracts for grading is
to be let oq the 15th inst., and it is
stipulated that the entire work is to
be completed in time for the trains to
be running over the line by the first of
September next. The depots will be
erected immediately in rear of the
Foundry, and streets are to be opened
thereto. Col. Wadley intends to have
every improvement in the most sub
stantial manner. The freight and
passenger depots will be separate, and
are to be handsome buildings, large
enough to meet the increasing busi
ness of tlie city. A round house is
also to be built.
The advantage of the extension of
this road into the city is incalculable.
It will enable our merchants to have
goods laid down almost at their doors,
and give a decided advantage over the
old system. The North-Eastern will
be forced to connect in self-defence—
and this will add to the importance of
our city, and prove of inestimable ad
vantage to parties living down the
Athens branch. _ Unless the hitter
road connects, the Georgia will get a
bulk of the travel, as it will save pas
sengers hack fare, as they are put down
in a few steps of the business centre.
Millinery,—Mrs. T. A. Adams has
ju-t returned Irom the Northern markets
wiili tlie most lieaiitifui selection of
soring millinery ever seen in this city.
All tlie novelties of tlie season. Prices

A Distinguished Visitor.—We
had tlie pleasure yesterday of a call
from our esteemed friend, Col. J.T. M.
Haire,one of Oglethorpe's leading mer
chants. Col. Hair was looking well,
and reports everything progressing
finely down tlie country. He says

and the prospects were never better.
He will shortly move to the store

quence freights were advanced again.
This is tiad news to Consumers, al
though Athens stands on the same
footing with other Southern cities,
The advance is considerable over the
rated charge during the railroad war
Boriiin Mill.—The only bobbin
mill south of the Potomac is located
near Athens. Although the machiu
cry used is of the crudest style, we
learn that when, at work it cleara
from $15 to $20 a day. There is plenty
of timber for the purpose in this sec
tion, and If this business was worked
up could be made to pay handsomely.
Police Cilclks.—Since the late dis
turbance everything is quiet in the city.
No arrests are la-lug made, and it seems
• lie general wi-li of all classes new to go
about their bi si ness and let the law take
its course. This is the best.
An Athens Boy.—One of the- lar
gest operators on Wall street, New
Y T ork, a few years ago, was an Athens
boy and thtj, son of a Presbyterian
minister who resided in this city at
that time. Unfortunately he lost all
on tho famous'black Friday (in which
Jim Fisk and Jay Gould figured so
conspicuously), and is now fanning

a half in every direction from the College

Capt. J. C. Turner.
Oconee cemetery contains within its
bounds tiie graves of more illustrious

Fnkk Schools.-*While the colored
People of our city have a number of pros-
peruua free schools, there is not a place
where a poor white child can b* educa
ted without paying for same the most ex
tortionate price. Let our City Council
take some step in this direction, as it is
tlie ardent work of the great mass of our
people.
New Office.—We learn that Dra
Genline and Benedict Intend to build
a handsome new offloe,asaoon as they
ran find some elligible site. The low

Provisions Advancing.—Yesterday
becon and corn took another bound,
and Jumped pp a notch. Flour re
mains unchanged, but the market is
t. Cotton* was also firm, with it
slight advance. We don’t look for
any decline in provisions until anoth
er crop is harvested, although flour
will decline Jf the present fine prospect
holds its own.
A Dead Infant.—While Mr, Wm.
Royal was up the river seiuing and fish
ing Monday lie suddenly stumbled on a
small grave on the bank of the river and
just above the Carlton old brick yard
place. He dag down and foqpd under

As yet there is no suspicion or clue as to
who the mother of the child was, or who
buried It in this secluded spot, and per

A STRANGE TRAGEDY.
HON. PETE LAWSHE.
Philadelphia, Pa., April 10.—An
astonishing case of fatality, in which
three sistess died within half an hour,
was reported to the coroner to-day.
About ten o’clock last night Mrs.
Winsmorewent to her bed room to
retire for the night, when she heard a
noise in her sister’s room.
the tragedy culminates.
Upon reaching her room Mrs. Wins-
rnore found Mrs. Watson in a dying
condition. Medical assistance was
promptly summoned, and Mrs. Smith
was also sent for. The physicians
found Mrs. Watson in a comatose con
dition, and admiffistered ammonia,

covered from their astonishment Mrs.
Winsmore was overcome and fell to
the floor in an unconscious state, and

utes later Mrs. Smith, the third sister,
was a corpse. All are supposed to
have died from natural causes.
t—* oftb» Mnumutrlct. _
Yesterday morning while quietly
sitting at our desk, penning an edito-
rial that was destined to revolutionize
the world and turn up the Independ
ent menagerie in our district in a po
sition to be. conveniently spanked
next tall, the doorway of our sanctum
was darkened by an object that wer at
a first glance took to be a tooth-pick
or an annimated exclamation point;
but a subsequent inspection disclosed
to tie the world-renowned Lawahe,
the-great giascutis of the Gainesville
.SWMbri. Instantly leveling our Fa
ber at his head, we prepared at once
to shed the last drop of information in
the shriveled carcas of this great iuk-
slinger; but our adversary was too
quick for us—having gotten the drop
with a “Toofur” cigar. We had noth
ing to do but quietly yield, and point
ing to our chair of honor, motioned
him to be seated. Then began a clear
case of “dog eat dog.” We wanted to
annalize his programme for the future,
without showing our hand—while the
old man had similar designs upon
our intellectual mine. He began the
greeting with—
“Well, how is the little filth-slinger
getting on?”
Bully,” we retorted; “and how is
the old guano horn tooting now?”
“Still blowing for the Independents
—and we are going to beat you!”
We staked our last nickel cigar on
the issue.
“Who are you going to buck against
Emory?”
Well, we’ve got several men who
can pull that wool hat over his eyes
next fall—there’s Judge Erwin, Dr.
Carlton, Pope Barrow, Tinny Rucker
and other names too numerous to
mention.”
But Alex Erwin won’t run?” and
our visitor looked scared at the proba
ble thought.
We gently pulled tlie lower lid of
our left eye downward with the tip of
our little finger.
Who are your independent, organ
ized disruptured, ring-bound, hide
bound, inconsistent, anti-convention,
mass-meeting calling, thimble-rig
ging Markham bustification going to
put out for Governor?”
Felton—he is the representative of
the young Democracy, and we count
on getting a majority of the white
votes and all the niggers.”
We asked our old friend if they
wouldn’t compromise on the niggers
and leave us the whites.
He gave || sigh of acceptance—and
the trade was then and there made.
Our next shot: “How is it that you
who have always been fighting rings
and conventions, can cutuittently or
ganize a little ring in tiie Murkham
House, and then cap the climax by
calling a convention?” We took a
long puff'at our Havana and quietly
waited his reply.
Well, you see—er-cre r—I-I-I—but
I haven’t time now to explain. Rut
that was a mean trick this morning
trying to fix the killing of young
Roundtree on the Independent party.”
We explained, we believe to the Col
onel’s satisfaction, our reasons for so
doing.
‘But Mr. Speer had nothing to do
with Davis’ appointment,” continued
Col. Lawshe. “He did not know of his
being chosen until his nomination was
sent in.”
“That isftrue,” we admitted, “but
we knoir that Emory was at the same
time urging the appointment of an
other colored man, and the Southron
confessed that he could have secured
the retention of Dr. Orr if he saw fit-
But what are your prospects for next
fall in the.district?”
“Well, Erwin is • your strongest
man, and if he was put out will weak
en Speer in Clarke, Habersham and
Oconee, but we will gain enough votes
in other counties to overbalance the
loss. I admit we are losing some votes
now, but at the same time are gaining
others.’’
“You won’t get three votes in Mad-
son county!”
“We will carry it by 300 majority.”
“I know better.”
“You are another.”
Bloodshed was nipped in the bud by
wagering another cigar.
After this the conversation turned
ou the newspaper business. The Col
onel informs us that he has 1,500 bona
fide subscribers—more than any pa
per in the district except the Banner-
Watchman. He is certainly publish
ing a live, newsy paper, and if so
many of his party wasn’t debarred the
knowledge of letters he would doubie
that number. Mr. Lawshe is a genial,
afTabie gentleman, and we are always
glad to see him in our city. ’
THAT RED-HEADED MAN.
rimson Craniom H»ro of tao MorjflMW
NBW HXOB 8BOAL8.
In the last issue of the Atlanta Post-
Appeal “Col.” Smith Olay ton phmeesto
the front iu a column esay ou red-head,
ed men, in which he attempts lo prove
that all tliejtreatness of this universe,
for the past eighteen centuries 'has
been consolidated in scarlet top-knots—
while humanity not thus embellished
piust either be content to enaw on the
cud of seclusion and ignorance, or seek
safety by the liberal application of poke-
berries. >Now this is is the first time we
have ever heard of a man’s brains, lying
in the tint of his hair—but as “Colonel”
Clayton affirms it to be $ fact we shall not
dispute I lie statement. But while all the
valor and goodness And greatness of the
present and past centuries may be con
solidated in men with fiery Jocks, we
dispute tlie power of this feature giving
a man authority to revolve bimseir into
the seventh part of a convention and dic
tate a platform for the greet State of
Georgia. For we do not know any other
claims Colonel Clayton has to essav
ieadership.
But in Col. Smith Clayton’s vocabu
lary of red-headitory greatness h t e has
omitted many famous specimens,’ who
will doubtless feel aggrieved at the neg
lect—and to siiow that the Organized
Democracy are their friends we will
herald their claims to the universe:
First on the list comes our old friend
John Smith, of Oglethorpe. He was
once honored by a seat in the Georgia
Legislature, and would doubtless have
been elevated to Congress but for the
fact that reil-iiair went out of fashion
about that time and his friends didn’t
wish to martyr him ou the shrine of pub
lic taste.
Then there is Dennis O’Bryan, who
engineers a di ay in Savannah. Dennis
was always a great mail on St. Patrick’s
Day, for he could get away with more
split-lightning than a rat-hole. And yet
Mr. O’Bryan never used his power to
hold a convention.
Gen. Phil Sheridan is read-headed.
Ai.d while that Piegan warrior delights
to insult a helpless people, he postively
refused to'take part in that Markham
House bustification.
Frank Baldwin is aubiiru-haired; bi t
when that budding genious discovered
that a similar specimen held high car
nival iu that Markham House carmag
nole lie instantly had his locks shingled
into tiie quick. Frank says that Colo
nel Clayton is the first red-headed man
that ever brought shame upon this hue
—by holding a convention of seven.
Murk Pitman is red-headed, and Mark
is as mad as blue-hlazes because tlie Colo
nel left bis name out of that paragraph
where he s|ieaks of Bill SliaVspeare.Tom
Jefferson and Pat Henry.
Hon. James-M. Smith has a red-head
ed statesman among his convicts; and as
the Markham House platform is built
ujion the shoulders of convicts, why
does Col. Clayton ignore this honored
citizen, who was elected to his present
office by tlie unanimous vote of twenty-
four jurymen?
The head of that beautiful bird the
peekerwood is a deep crimson—and yet in
his catalogue Col. Clayton ignores the
claims of this bird to even honorable
mention. And we here demand to know-
why should the peekerwood be slighted?
We have now in our mind’s eye num
berless instances of red-headed great
ness that this noble and immortal ring-
ster has ignored. We right here pro
claim ourself tlie friend of the red-headed
race, and admit that a flaming cranieum
has lighted many a man on his road to
fame and glory.
It is not to the texture of this Mark
ham House Colonel’s hair that we ob
ject, but simply lighted on that as the
most conspicuous feature in his anatomy
•r mental endowments. If we had said
Clayton tlie statesman, we laid ourself
liable to prosecution for libel; if we
8]>oke of him as the Christian hero we
would be construed as dealing in the bit*
terest sort of sowcasm; if we spoke of
him as Col. Clayton, the orator, the poet
or the patriot, the world would look in
vain for the hero of our sketch—but
when we simply mentioned “the red
headed man in tlie Markham House po
litical regulators,” all eyes were turned
upon Col. Smith Clayton, and even that
gentleman instantly recognized ;our pic
ture and rushed to ..the ^front with a
hearty “aye, aye, sir!”
We have always ’heard that there
waq no dividing classification among
red-headed humanity—that they were
ever exceedingly bright or tottering on
the verge of the other sphere. Will the
Colonel please inform us to which side
he belongs? ,

THE PRISONERS.
While the murderers in jail appear to
recognize the fact that their necica are in
danger, they keep in good spirits, and
spend their time in - writing notes to
friends outside. Last Sunday they ask
ed the prayers oi the different- colored
churches, stating that they thought per
haps they would be hung,.which request
was granted. They have been removed
to a cell up-stairs, which is thought to be
ssfer, In case of an attempt at release.
They hstre few visitors.
BALLS IN TUB FENCE.
The place of shooting of young Round-
tree is just above the'middle gate, on
Prim-e avenue, beneath a China tree that
stands on the sidewalk. In the fence is
seen the imprint of a ball, over which
some one has written, “fired by Frank
J.” There is another ball further down
the fence. From tlie position of the an
tagonists, it was impossible for Bartow
Roundtree to have shot his brother, As
the negroes try to prove. Thfe sidewalk
here is twelve feet wide, and in splen
did repair. The rock upon which Round
tree’s head struck when falling is seen. K
WITNESSES TO TIIE CONFLICT,
Two ladies saw the shooting—one was
just across the street, while another was
at her front gate. T' e latter says she
saw Walter Roundtree shot down by
Frank Johnson before his brother fired
a shot; and she will make this state
ment upon the stand if necessary.
the jail.
The jail will be guarded every night
until some disposition is made of the
prisoners. The Sheriff intends if the
murderers remain in jai! here, to em
ploy a couple of men, armed with re
peating rifles, to sleep in jail every
night. The Sheriff telegraphed Saturday
to the Chief of Police in Atlanta to meet
him at depot, as he intended carrying
them there; but owing to opposition to
removal from several citizens he did not
leave. Mr. Weir thinks- they will be
perfectly safe in Athens, but perhaps
removal would heifr allay excitement.
NO FURTHER TROUBLE.
For the past three or four nights ev
erything remained perfectly quiet
around the jail. Occasionally a few
straggling bands of black are seen slowly-
walking around _ the jail, in tlie atreet,
and Saturday night one or two negroes
were seen with guns on their shoulders,
but no demonstrations whatever were
made. The friends of the prisoners, we
believe, are convinced that the authori
ties will protect them, and they are will
ing to rest their fate with the law.
the errv QUIET.
Our city was never more quiet than
now. The blacks attend to their busi
ness and make no demonstration what
ever. Occasionally you hear some in-
cendiaty threat from a passing band of
Idlers, bnt as these men do not represent
the sentiment of their peopleno attention
is paid to what they say. There are
some very mean negroes in Athens, who
have taken refuge here from outrages in
other counties, who would delight to sitr
up strife between the two races; but the
police have spotted these outlaws, and
will see that they are not successful in
their vile designs.
TIIE RIOTERS.
Yesterday the case of the negroes
bound over by the Mayer to appear at
the City Court was called, when the at
torney for the defense arose and demand
ed an indictment by the grand jury.
This settles the matter until the May
session of Clarke Superior Court. We
learn that Messrs. E. T. Brown, of Ath
ens, and George Thomas, of Watkins-
ville, will appear in their defense. We
hope that this trouble is now over, and
that both the whites and blacks will re
main quiet and leave the settlement of
the trouble to conrts of justice. Law
cannot be overridden in Georgia, and
any resistance will but bring trouble
upon those who make the attempt.

At a mi-vting of the Directors, of the
a'Kive well known Manufacturing Com
pany, to elect a successor to Mr. Isaac
Powell, deceased, who had so long and
faithfully held the position of President
of tlie-company, they dlscoved that ow
ing to the peculiar const ruction of their
by law* they had no authority to elect
a President to fill an unexpired term so
to obviate the difficulty they made a
temporary arrangement to place the con
trol of the factory uuder the manage
ment of the Chairman of their board
and Hon. H. D. McDaniel, of Walton
county, was elected to fill that position.
The Chairman appointed Mr. Geo. Felk-

under direction of Chairman McDaniel.
This is ode of the finest factories in the

Killing a Jersey.—Yesterday Mr.
Sloman, the botcher, bought of Mr. A.
P. Dearing, for $69, one of the finest
blooded Jeraey cows in the city, add will
this morolog slaughter her for beef,
which he is selling rapidly at 15 cents a
pound. It seems that the cow had
got no fat that she failed in milk, and
as it would be ueven or eight months be
fore she .could Hie again of use, her doom
was sealed. The cow was registered,
and was as fine an animal as there is
in Georgia. It was a pity to kill her.'
In tlfia age of humbuggery It b cer

who would not stoop to do a mean or

tions of jewelry and silver-plated

hibited in Northeast Georgia. Call

Yesterday we mentioned tlie fact that
the negro John Johnson, who stole Mr.
Veronee’s clothes, liad been placed in
iail. We yesterday met Policeman Pier-
Son, and from him learned the following
particulars of the capture:
Mr. P. was on a visit to friends inCar-
tenville, and while walking along the
street early in the morning saw the pris
oner, together with another negro nani
ed Bob Amos, who bad jumped a fine of
$5 for knocking a woman down opposite
Deupree Hall, standing on the corner.
The recognition was mutual, and Mr.
Pierson made a rush to capture Ills bird,
but before he could reach him Johnson
drew apistol and presenting it, informed
Pierson that he did not intend to be car
ried back to Athens alive, and if he ad'
vanced another step would kill him.
But before the fellow could fire Mr. P.
rushed upon him and seizing his wrist
attempted to wrench the weapon from
his hand. The negro then tried to trans
fer it to his other hand, when that was
grappled too. He next attempted to get
it in position to shoot; but Pierson gave
his wrist such a wrench that the weapon
dropped on the pavement. The negro
then drew a case-knife, that was sharp
ened into a dagger, and turned to stab
his assailant, who being as strong as
Johnson prevented' his so doing. The
scuffle continued for some minutes, and
the prisoner had nearly all his clothes
torn off, when a gentleman arrived on
the scene and tins negro was safely con
veyed to jail. The next day he was se
curely tied pnd placed aboard the train
and brought back to Athens, where he
will be trjed for bis offense. He made
no attempt to escape on the way, and
appeared completely hackeJ. During
the scuffle Bob Amos took leg ball and
escaped. Mr. Pierson deaeryes praise
for bis efficiency in the matter.

BLACKS DRILLING.

Qundnj Night.
Mr. J. W. Frazier, a highly respect
able farmer of Gwinnett, was In town
yesterday. He reports that while
crossing Mitchell’s bridge, three or
four miles from Athens, on Sunday
night, ( be came upon a large crow<| of
negroes drilling, under command of a
fellow from Athens. As soon as Mr.
F. was discovered the blacks set up a
shout that made one of his horses
break loose, when they began to curse
aud abuse him. We think it prudent
not to repeat the threats made. We
would like to ask if the negroes expect
the whites to remain quiet so long as
they are meeting in the dead hours of
night for the purpose of drilling,
which Is a threat within itself.
We believe that It is within the
power of the leading citizens and au
thorities of Athens to put a stop to
these proceedings, if they take prompt
action now—but delay is daugerous.
Can any one say 'that the Banner-
Watchman is creating an unnecessa
ry alarm when armed blacks are
nightly drilling at our doors, threat
ening the lives of our wives and little
ones? Is It better to remain silent
until their plans are all formed, when
bloodshed will be inevitable? A little
firmness now will remedy this troub
le and can restore peace and order
without.bloodshed or strife—but ; if
these demonstrations are not checked
a dark tyay for Athens is ahead. Will
our citizens stand back and let this
disregard of law^proceed, or will they
enforce the statutes .and have a cer
tain peace restored? ; '

that Col- J. T. M. Haire, of Lexington,

raising the seven children, to which
he will fall heir at the same time. The
