Burglars entered the depot at I.ula Tuesday night, but Mr. Hodges, the railroad agent, being awakened from his sleep by the alarm attached to his cash drawer, put the robbers to flight.

The Late Cyclone. A party who passed the 'Nash house, near Harmony Grove, si ’.ys it is one huge pile of splinters and not enough sound lumber can be found to build a chicken coop. Even the pillars are levelled with the ground. How any one escaped from it alive is a mystery. Large oak trees in the yard are twisted off like straws. Nothing was saved from the wreck. Mr. J. B. Toomer yesterday re ceived a letter from Mr. Hazelton, w ho is on a visit to Cartersville. The letter contained several beads made of bone, and gave an interest ing account of the opening of a ier large Indian mound near that town, by a committee of scientists sent out from the Smithsonian Institute. After removing the dirt for some distance a layer of large flagstones was found, which had evidently been dressed by hand and showed that the men who quarried this rock understood their business. These stones were removed, when in a kind of vault beneath them the skeleton of a giant, that measured 7 feet 2 inches, was found. His hair was coarse and jet black and hung to the waist, the brow being orna mented with a copper crown. The skeleton was remarkably well pre served and taken from the vault in tact. Near this skeleton were found the bodies of several children of various sizes. The remains of the latter were covered with beads, made of bone of some kind. Upon removing these, the bodies were found to be enclosed in a net work made of straw or reeds, and beneath this was a covering of the skin of some animal. In fact, the bodies had been prepared somewhat after the manner of mummies, and will doubtless throw new light on the history of a people who reared these mounds. Upon the stones that cov ered the vault were carved inscrip tions, and if desciphered will pro pably lift the veil that has enshroud' ed the history of the race of giants that undoubtedly at one time inhab ited this continent. All the relics were carefully packed and forward ed to the Smithsonian Institute, and are said to be the most interesting collection ever found in America The explorers ars now at work on - another mound in Bartow county, and before their return home will visit various sections of Georgia where antiquities are found. On the Oconee river, in Greene county, just above Powell’s Mills, are sev eral large mounds, one of them very tall and precipitous. The editor of this paper has now an engagement with Mr. Toon Powoll to make an excavation there, and as soon as the weather breaks we will let our readers know what hidden secrets are contained theiein. Toitbl* Story otltaVWt to tt* Ton of D»ru- boro. Ox. From a private letter received by Miss Fannie Atkinson, of Athens, from her brother living at Davisb oro, Ga., are we permitted to make the following extract: Davisboro, Feb. 24. 1S84.—Dear Sister:—I suppose my scattered senses are collected well enough to write you something like a clear ac count of our terrible experience on last Tuesday night. My letter to you on Monday came very near be ing my last one, for I do not believe I have ever come as near facing death before; no, not even .in the heat of battle. I live on a high hill, just a quarter of a mile from the depot, and to this fact I attribute our escape, as the whirl turned when it struck the hill and circled around in our rear just one hundred yards, then left the earth and leaped full mile before striking the ground again. So you will see cy clones do not move in straight lines, nor keep on the ground all the time, nor always happen in the day time, which latter fact has been the generally adopted theory. Tuesday wasa strange day; at first drizzling; then bright and warm; then a* reg ular March wind for two hours, winding up about 6 o’clock with a heavy black cloud and terrific thun der and lightning. I had been town for an hour and started home, fearing a rain; meeting B , and knowing his slow gait, hurried him along with me. Supper was ready when we came in, and while stand ing at the table preparatory to sit ting down, there came a roar. I can compare it to nothing I know of, unless to a thousand railroad trains, with coal-burning engines, rushing by. I realized what it was, gathered my children around me, feeling death was sure; but a kind Providence spared us. We unhurt, and the house left standing. A shower of hail followed, as large as chicken eggs, as incredible as it may seem, and then a dead calm. The business part of Davisboro is a perfect wreck. The brick depot, more than half the dwelling houses and every store are in ruins. Words cannot describe the scene; pitchy darkness, men, women and children crying for help, and the streets a mass of splintered timber, fallen auruiU nuli’-nake im-lon ii-*4 al Lyndon’* PH**! Plan!

Giiffeth, of Paper City, caught fiom a defective stove pipe and was entirely consumed. Everything was saved, even to the blinds and sash. Mr. Griffcth and his lady were in Athens at the time of the tire. The house was insured, but we do not know its extent. A RANK FORGERY. NUDE ART IN ATHENS. OOL.IXBLOWES TRIAL BE70EE THB MAYOR > Crowd of People Pack A Lively Day—An: the Court-Room t Teitfmony u to the Buds ta Art. High art in the police court! Col. Ike Lowe the hero of Gum Spring, has for some time past dis played over his store door the pic ture of Blackwell’s Durham male cow, robed in the garb of natnre un adorned. In fact, even the histori cal fig leaf was missing. This work of art was unnoticed until Atlanta began to kick up a row over Dan Pitchford’s old chromos, when Capt. Oliver, ever alive to the glory and fame of Athens, determined not to be outdone, and on Friday last reported this .'.bovine portrait as calculated to shock the sensitive nerves of the police. Mayor Dor sey booked the case for trial yester day morning, and a number of wit nesses were summoned by both sides. The defendant was repre sented by Joe Kenney, Esq., and the city, in the absence of its attor ney, engaged the services of that famed jurist, Tip Fuller, Esq. “Spectators were jammed into every place where it was possible for a man to secure a foothold or hang on by his eyebrows. Outside the bar of the court the motley crowd was so thick that it was im possible to pass through, and within the bar staid old citizens, police offi cers, newspaper reporters, artists and lawyers appeared as a sort of lambrequin, fringing the Mayor’s throne.” Col. Lowe stood up twirling his hat nervously in his hand and blush ing like a girl. “You are charged with violating the ordinance which prohibits the displaying of disrobed pictures. Are you guilty or not guilty?” “Not guilty,” “Mr. Fuller,” said the Mayor were turning to the city attorney, you will please conduct the case for the city.” “All right, sir,” was the reply. “I appear for the defense, your honor,” said Mr. Joe Kenney, ris ing and addressing the the court. Mayor Dorsey nodded, the wit nesses were called and sworn and everything stood ready for the trial to begin. the Witnesses called. Ex-Mayor O’Farrell appeared, A Good Business. A gentleman living near Athens told his little niece lh;it if she would attend to two cows he would give her all the butter over and above what would furnish his family, and that she could make ten dollars during the season. The young lady attended to tlie cow:-and sold $.;S worth of butter before the season A Habersham Negro Endeavor* to "Blood" Con gressman Candler. A few weeks since Col. Candler had the following paper handed hitn by a negro named George Smith, ot Habersham county. The Colonel saw at once that it was a ■forgery, and informed the scamp that if he did not get up and dust he would have him arrested. It is seen that George has carried more colored vofes for the nominee than there are negroes in his county. The pa per read as follows. “This Oct. 7th. 1SS2.—Reprove the undersigned, George Smith, did for Mr. A. D. Candler the day of the election.

The Oglethorpe Fence Troubles. The contested fence case from Oglethore county was heard before Judge I’ottle at Crawfordville on Friday night. After a hearing of the argument the Judge refused to grant the injunction prayed for, thus sustaining the decision the decision of Ordinary Gill iam, which puts the new law in operation on May 1st. This settles the question, and it is neediess to contest the matter fur ther, We learn that Mr. Howard, counsel for the no fence side will let the matter rest where it is. Aid the Sufferers. Many of the citizens of Jackson county have suffered by the late cy clone, and their people are doing all they can to assist them. The citi zens of Athens and Clarke should do something to help her sister county, and anything in the way of clothing, bedding, provisions money will be appropriated to the use of the sufferers if sent to Nib- lack & Co., in Jefferson. A large number of these people have lost everything, and we hope our citizens will respond liberally. Any arti cles left at the Banner-Watchman office will be forwarded. Information Wanted. G. W. Freeman, of Urbana, Ohio, asks the following questions: “Will grass do well enough about Athens or very near the Blue Ridge for grazing purposes?’^ What kind of grasses grow there?’’ What kinds of timber have you?” . All of Northeast Georgia can be utilized for raising grasses and grazing stock. 2. Bermuda, orchard, herd and timothy. With little cultivation blue glass and clover cun he suc cessfully raised. 3.

He did nothing to de stroy the chances of the appropria tion for the cyclone suflerers.

To-day Senator Vance, Congress men Debrill, of Teunessee, Clem ents and Candler, of Georgia, will go before the ways and means com mittee to argue tor the reduction of the internal revenue. They will ask it to be taken from all liquors made from fruit, and will favor the Dibrell bill for free brandy. They will also present strong arguments for the bill introduced by Mr. Can dler to change the mode of collect ing revenue. It abolishes all depu ties, and require _ each man who distills over thirty gallons a year to return on oath, his quantity of tax due at the end of each quar ter, with a penalty for failure or false return.

A Storm Pit A gentleman in Oconee is dig. ging a cyclone pit under his house, fixed with a trap door. It is large enough to accommodate all his fam ily, and whenever a cloud arises they take refuge therein. This is a wise provision, and those who are laugh ing at him would do well to emulate the example. Storm at Greenvil!*. The heavy wind storm of Wed nesday night reached as high up as Greeneville, S. C., and did consid erable more damage than here in Athens. On a farm near the city a house wae blown down and gro man killed. The house took fire and consumed the body. Sev eral other small houses were demol ished. Pledger's CompIainL W. A. Pledger addressed a letter of complaint to the Governor in re gard to his rejection as Lieutenant Colonel of the Atlanta Colored Bat talion, claiming that he was not fairly treated, and that the examin ing board was composed of Cap tains who could not properly ex amine a candidate for a higher rank. The Governor replied that the boatd was in accordance with the law and the examination properly conduct ed, and that he could not interfere with,its action in the matter. A Fail From the Tower. On Wednesday evening a student climbed to the top of the water tow er from the inside, and while walk ing around surveying the scenery he stepped on a plank that broke from his weight. The youth was thrown from a height of 85 feet,and would have certainly been dashed to pieces had he not the presence of mind, in his fall, to grasp a piece of scantling by which he held and res cued himself. He was not much hurt but bhdly frightened. This as cent is a dangerous practice, for some one will yet be killed. The student fell 15 feet before he recov ered himself. No AM far the Sufferers. W ashington, February 27.—The replies received from the governors of Georgia, Alabama and the Caro- Iinas have been such as to destroy the chances of the appropriation for the cyclone sufferers. While Messrs. Brown and Ransom were working up this matter in the sen ate, Mr. Candler brought it into con sideration in the house through the right of petition. He had received a letter from W. H. Simmons and Lem Allred, of Pickens county, de tailing the distress among t the peo ple there, and asking aid. Thus the question came before the appro priation committee. Senator Col quitt said that strong recommenda tions from the governor* of the states interested would have secur ed the passage of the resolution. The governors’telegrams, however, have been weakly expressive of a desire or the need for an a| tion, and none will be trees and debris from every quarter. took the stand cleared his : - throat How any one in the line of the 1 storm escaped I cannot see. Think of a family of six in a house, ar.d that house falling down on- them, and every plank shattered it 1 ., pieces small enough for kindling; water oaks, large enough to requite two men to meet around them, twisted off as you would a twig and hurled three hundred yards; a heavy hind-car carried the same distance; | fo r “drink a li.’ige orick depot torn to atoms and ?he tin rooting carried five miles away, and you may imagine the ter rific force of a cyclone. No words can truly tell o*- depict the awful herror of one; only experience can prove the fe.trfulness. There is no crash of falling houses and trees, only a terrible roar as it sweeps by. If one has the presence of mind to watch its course, it is a dark cloud, shaped like an inverted funnel, and black as ink in the air, but a solid mass of fire as it strikes the earth. As I said, it left the ground just one hundred yards from my house, and went a mile before touching it again. Next morning revealed a distressingly woeful sight; boards, sills, trees, railroad iron, dry goods, groceries, oil, guano, beds, remnants of furniture, &c., in one promiscuous heap, or strewn along tne track of the storm. You could not step without touching debris of some sort. Where twelve hours before stood a pretty and prosperous vil lage, Was nothing but a heap of ruins. One man only was killed, and he was out doors. As to my own feelings, I do not think I was frightened at the moment of its pas sage. My only thought was that my death was sure—no escape, and to circle my arms around my chil dren and die with them. Having one of the few houses left, I have been living ever since in one room, my other rooms being given up to the homeless. Your affectionate brother, G. B. A. DANIELSVILLE DOINGS. Sptcial Correspondence Banner- Watch matt. Daniblsville, Feb. 27.—F. B. Scarborough, our deputy sheriff, to day returned from Anderson, S. C., where he went with a requisition for a negro held in jail there, sup posed to have been George Long. The negro proved not to be George Long but George Jenkins, who has many aliases, and who has been traveling over tha country consider ably. Parties in South Carolina state that this negro confessed that he had stolen a one-eyed horse in Madison county, Ga., and as Mr Winn’s horse which was stolen was one-eyed, it is thought this fellow- may be deserving a berth on the state’s cl/irm string. Death of Dr. VVm. S. Jones. Friday, at his residence on Broad street, Dr. Wm. S. Jones quietiy passed away from earth to eternity, and lay down a long and well spent life among his fellow men. Iledied surrounded Lv his family and loved ones, and in the ripeness of age and white hairs he goes to his well earn ed and honorable reward. He has been very feeble of late, and for sev eral years has been confined a great deal to his house. His eyes had also been failing the past few years, and this kept him from stirring from home.—Augusta News. THE TRAMP AT HOME. Macon Telegraph. The notorious Sergeant Bates, af ter a journey of 1,150 miles on foot, has arrived in Washington city and made his report. The sergeant is not pleased with his trip; says that he was mobbed on several occasions and roughly treated; that amongst the lower classes there is a violent hatred of the union, and the flag he bore was an object of ridicule and .derision. In short the sergeant has organized himself into a whole blcody shirt campaign, and with the assistance of the stalwarts will publish * pamphlet and take to lec turing.

So far from being mobbed, he was gen erally kindly treated and fed, just as any other creature non compos men tis would be. This kindness he re pays with slander, finding a ready receptacle for his garbage in the journals that gather missiles from the nearest swill tub, whenever the south is to be assailed. laamn L*fs When Delilah clipped off Samson's locks that mighty athlete became “as other men."

He was considerably shocked.” “Was it a high art picture?” ask ed the Mayor. “I do not. know precisely, but learn that they only charged ten ■the usyal price I suppose.” Mr. Kenney then took hold of the ex-Mayor for cross-examination. The witness statedthat he had never noticed the picture, and not being a photographer was no judge of high art. Had never seen cattla dressed up, but thought the aver age Athenian beef would be improved with a Mother Hub bard gown on. He was shown several pictures in the Southern Cultivator and said he considered them indecent.” “If Mother Eve would appear to day in the costume as worn by Mr. Blackwell’s tobacco bull would she be arrested?” asked the attorney. The witness stated that Capt. Oliver might capture her with a lassoe, but was sute that she would not be molested from close quarters. “What would you think ol a pic ture of Apollo Belvidere?” asked Mr. Kenney. “I am not acquainted with the old gentleman,” was the reply. “Well, he is simply a naked man.” “I should suppose he was on the hunt fora good wash hole.” MR. A. It. HODGSON SWORN. Mr. Berry Hodgson was intro duced by the prosecution. He said: “I cannot speak for the taste of others, but this picture does not strike me as being obscene at all. You see I can look at it from an ar- tistictic standpoint, being a dealer in registered Jersey cattle. If you suppressed such works of art as this it would bankrupt one of the great est industries of our city. I don’t know anything about Miss Godiva, or them two stars or Mr. ,Belvi- dere in his bathing costume; but when you strike me on the cattle question I am at home. I think, however, that Mr. Tobacco Black- well ought to have sent out a pedi gree with his pictures.” MR. C. WASHINGTON BALDWIN TAKES THE STAND. Mr. Baldwin was introduced Ly the prosecution, but proved an un profitable witness for that side. He was asked what effect the sight ot such pictures would have on the common herd. “How do I know?” he asked. “I don’t know. I can tell the effect on myself, but I can’t tell the effect on any one else. It depends altogether on the culture of a person. If a per son did not have the intelligence to understand or the artistic sense to appreciate the pictures, it would ap peal to the animal that was in him, or make his mouth water iora piece of broiled steak. It don’t effect me that way, and I am very easily ef fected.” MR. H. K. NICHOLSON TESTIFIES. Mr. Nicholson said the picture was a beautiful work of art. and was made a better man by looking at it. He would be glad if every butcher in town could see that pic ture and engrave the likeness on his mind when when he went to buy beef cattle. “Can you see anything vulgar in the picture?” asked Mr. Kenny. “No, I know its history, and we have a copy hung up in our store. It is a work of the highest art and cost Mr. Blackwell immense sums of monev. The idea of this pic- tnre shocking the morality of our police force, who are not paid enough to get one square meal of beef a week, is ridiculous.” Mr. Nicholson was asked if the Twin Stars would offend the mod est He said: By no means. Haven’t I time and again looked upon even the seven stars without blushing, not counting the array of third-class talent put upon the stage at Athens every season?” HR. EDWIN D. NEWTON SWORN. Dj. Newton was put on the stand and testified that, he had visited all the great galleries of this section and had never heard that ihe nude in art was obscenity. He had seen the original of the Lady Godiva and had viewed _ it in WatkinsviHe in company with a company of Amer ican ladies and gentlemen who were traveling in Oconee county. He bought a painted photograph of the picture and brought it home with him. He had seen the cabin in which Lady Godiva lived, and the statue of the man for whom she used to work. He referred at con siderable length to the fact that • large part of the work of the great masters in sculpture and painting was node and said that it was by no means shut out from galleries on that accounL He said that in the court-house at Lexington there were figures—just as expressive as {he Durham Bulk Male figures, he said, were atways represented per fect. He was asked if the “Temp tation of St. Anthony” was not vul gar. The Doctor replied, “By no means. Uncle Anthony used to be long to Col. Jones and he was as good an old nigger as I ever knew. He died just before freedom.” MR. W. s. HOLMAN TESTIFIES. Mr. Holman says before he could commit himself it would be necessa ry to know whether the picture was of a Jersey cow or scrub stock. If it was any other breed than a regis tered Jersey he considered the dis play ot this picture in Athens a gra tuitous insult to the Jersey men of the place. He had never heard of putting clothes on cattle before tak ing their photogtaph, but in fly time he did not think that a piece of mos quito netting would be out of place. He thought that Mr. Blackwell might at least have put a walnut bush behind his animal’s ears, as in sects won’t come near their leaves. He had a few times passed under the picture, but had never noticed it until Cran Oliver called his atten tion to it and asked if he thought it obscene. “What reply did you make?” ask ed Mr. Kenney. .“I thanked the Captain and told him that I had just taken one, but would see him later.” That ended the testimony. THE ARGUMENT AND THE DECISION. Mr. Fuller opened for the prose cution and contended that the pic ture of a fat beef was, to say the least, very aggravating to the gristle-gnawing citizens of Athens and should be suppressed by the strong arm of the law. Mr. Kenney followed in a short but happy speech, in the course of which he read a beautiful extract on cattle raising from the Dixie Farmer as also the pedigree of Capt. Yancey’s Canadian bull. He said that Athens was an enlightened city and could revere and appreci ate such works ot art. The only question for the court to decide is, “Will Mr. Blackwell's smoking to bacco and long-cut cigarettes come up to the inference drawn from the picture? If not, then Mr. B., and not Mr. Lowe, should be indicted for selling goods under false pre tenses. He was invulnerable him self to temptation. Hg. could look at that picture and then go home and eat a fried chicken without feel ing the least bad effects.” The Mayor, in rendering his de cision, said that he agreed with the city attorney in this matter, and be lieved in the encouragement of art in Athens. He would dismiss the case, but recommended that council purchase a dozen copies of the ox from Mr. Blackwell Durham, or Durham Blackwell, and distribute them among our butchers as mod els to be used hereafter in buying beef cattle.

THE FREQUENCY OF TORNADOES Sew York Herald. A correspondent in Augusta, Ga., asks us why tornadoes are so much more frequent and disastrous in the United States than formerly; whether the atmospheric conditions are changed, and if so are the changes “likely to continue to pro duce the same results?” Though these storms may not have increased greatly in frequency, as is gcncally supposed, there is a good reason to believe that they are now somewhat more frequent and disastrous than formerly. The es sential condition of the birth of a tornado is the sudden formation of a belt of strikingly variant tempera tures. These conditions are real ized when the polar winds can, without topographical obstructions, approach the vapor laden equatorial currents on the margin of a baro metric depression. Whatever tends to remove superficial obstructions to a rapid coming together of op posing warm and cold currents fa cilitates the generation of tornadoes. Were the Mississippi Valley a smooth surfaced, treeless waste it would present the best topograph ical conditions for the formation of these desolating cyclones. The de nudation of the soil, which is now going on at a rapid rate, must appa rently have the effect of augment ing in some degree the number and ntensity of tornadoes. The defor esting of the country drained by the great lakes also may have the effect of increasing the ascensional move ment of the air over this vast area in summer, thus causing the barom eter to fall, and inducing the ireer and more violent northward rush of the tornado-bearing currents from the gulf. If, however, this outlook is not encouraging, the knowledge gain, -a :«. i.t. j—— of ihe uilgtn, fuiuia tion and normal movemtnts of tor nadoes, as well as of the means of safety upon their approach is con siderable. Were local telegraphic weather services established in the storm tavaged districts there can be little doubt that the reports thus ob tained, with the aid of the national weather telegrams, would enable local meteorologists also to previse and successfully to predict the oc currence of many of the most fatal interior cyclones. JAKE HAYES ARRESTED. A Macro Who is Cbargtd with Balog a Bloody Bantu County Koktux. Jake Hayes, the colored Banks county kuklux, was brought to At lanta yesterday and was lodged in Fulton county jail. Hayes is charged with having been connected with the whip ping and shooting of the luckless colored troopers who fell tier the ire of the Yarborough boys. A warrant was issued for him at the time the offense was committed but he escaped arrest. A few days ago information was received that he was in Madison county, and Deputy Marshal Green R. Duke, of Athens, was delegated to go down and gather him in. The marshal found the negro on a farm in Madison county, seven miles from Athens. He was plow ing as the officer approached. He asked what he had done, and was told that he was arrested on a war rant charging him with conspiracy with the Yarborough boys. Hayes then said: Why, I left up there to keep the Yarborough boys from whipping me.” He was arrested on Tuesday, was carried before Commissioner Dun lap on Wednesday, and yesterday was brought to Atlanta and lodged in Fulton county jail. He denies all knowledge of the outrages. As he entered tne jail Neal Yarbrough who is still confined there, told him “howdye” and said. “That boy is innocent.” 1 Jasper Yarbrough also stated on his way to Albany that Hayes was innocent Hayes is a young negro, not being much over twenty-one years old.

After the execution of their threats to place every obstacle in the way, this issue was finally brought in Hall Superior Court, and, in ac cordance with her written selec tion her husband, Hamilton H. Huggins, whom she had married thj 1883, was appointed administrator. The contest since has been be- tweenHamilton HHnggins and Dr. Long and his counsel, Mrs. Hug gins having waived her right ns administratrix in favor of her hus band. The judgement of the Superior Court of Hall county was in favor of H. H Huggins as administrator with the will an nexed. Long and his council moved the court to set aside the judgment and grant him a new Perhaps no case ever tried in Georgia has attracted more wide spread interest than the contest over the will of the late Riley Gar rett, of Gainesville, Ga.. For near ly four years it has been in court, and as the rightful heir, Mrs. Ham ilton H. Huggins, now a resident of Athens, has at last gained her case, a brief review of its history will be interesting to our readers. Mrs. Huggins is a refined and ac complished lady, and stood the try ing ordeal through which she pass ed with heroic fortitude. She mar ried the eldest son of ovr honored fellow-citizen, Col. J- H. Huggins, and will make our city her future home. Without comment we give a brief history of this famous case, and leave our readers to draw their own inference. Few ladies would have had the courage to endute as much ns Mrs. H. in defense of their rights, and she certainly mer its the applause of all true-hearted people for her wonderful nerve and righteous determination. She has at last seen herself crowned with suocess, and surely never was a victory more nobly won than the legal triumph of this lady. Our citizens rejoice with Mrs. Huggins in her snccess, and their hearts go out in the deepest sympathy at the thought of the ordeal through which a lone woman has had to pass in our laud to secure her hus band’s property. Mrs. Huggins is to-day a heroine, for few of our la dies would have had the nerve to desperately face frowning courts and the bolts and bars of prisons rather than yield what they knew to be her just dues. The following is a brief history of this case, with the decision of the supreme court that at last places Mrs. Huggins in possessiono f her own: Mr. Riley Garrett, a citizen of Georgia, died in Gainesville, May 16th, 1880. Immediately after his death Dr. H. J. Long made ap plication for temporary 'adminis tration, and took charge of his effects. On opening the trunk of Riley Garrett, after his death, a will was found bequeathing all of his worldly estate to William Augustus Wheelus. The will was enclosed with a photograph of Dr. W’heelus. Notwithstanding this will, Dr. Long applied for perma nent letters of administration, and they were granted. In the mean time Dr. Wheelus was notified of the death of his benefactor, and arrived a few days tlierpAft«r TT». Wlieelus came to take possession of the property of Mr. Garrett, and found Dr. Long in possession, who refused to give it up, claiming that the paper found was not 3 will. Dr. Wheelus offered the will for probate, and Long caveated the will The will was dated in 1844. The case was carried by consent to the Superior Court. The jury gave a verdict in favor of Dr. Wheelus. The case was then, after long and needless delay, carried to the Supreme Court This tribunal sustained the judgment of the Court below and decided that the will gave all of the worldly estate to Wm. Augustus Wheelus. Dr. Long, regardless of the will and the protest of Dr. Wheelus, sold the personal effects of Mr. Garrett, which sale was illegal, os a will had been found. The sale of the personal effects and relics of the benefactor of Dr. Wheelus’ was the immediate cause of his (Dr. Wheelus) death. Among the articles found as the property of Mr. Garrett was a watch, which was sacred as a relict to Dr. Wheel- us, and which he bought at the sale for forty-three dollars. Dr. Long, in his return to the Ordinary, turn ed 'this watch in as sold for cash and made affidavit in his return that the watch was paid for. Dr. Wheelus left a will bequeath ing Ms entire estate to his wife, Susan a Wheelus. After Mrs. Wh?elus came in possession of this property Dr. Long and his attor neys demanded a watch, wMch they claimed was the property of Riley Garrett Neither one of the two watches that Mrs. Wheelus had received from the estate of Dr. Wheelus had ever been identified as the one left by Riley Garrett Mrs. Wheelus declined to give np the watch, as she had a right to it as the sole legatee and administra tor of Dr. Wheelus. Upon thin refusal she was arrested and incar cerated in the common jail of Hall County.. Mrs. Wheelus was arrested for a watch that sold for $43.00, when the entire estate, which was her’s, and was then in the possession of Dr. Long, who was not in the least related to Mr. Garrett or Dr. Wheelus by blood or affinty, and who was lending his power and aid to overthrow the will of RUey Garrett Notwithstanding the. 8 _ Court decision in September term, 1882, (and after a long contest of two years) giving the entire estate to Mrs. S. A. Wheelus, Dr. Long Judge Hutchins overruled the motion for a new trial, and the case was again carried to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court rendered their decis ion (wMch we append below,) con firming H. H. Huggins as adminis trator of the estate of Riley Gar rett, with the will annexed. Dr. Long’s bondsmen made applica tion to be relieved from his bond and the Ordinary relieved them. Dr. Long has now sold out his property and left Georgia for Henry J. Long, et. al. ) vs. v Scsan- A. Huggins, etal. ) By the Court—Hall Justice: Riley GarrettjOfRandolphcounty, in tnis State, on the 18th day of January, 1844, executed his last will and testament, whereby he ap- 1 ointed Isham Wheelus his execu tor and gave all his worldly estate to William AugHstus Wheelus. The testator died in Hall county, in the year 1880. The executor named in his will, died before him, but Wil liam A. Wheelus, the legatee there in mentioned, survived him. Wil liam 4. Wheeius died sho'tlv alter the testator, and by his will be queathed his entire estate to his wife, Susan A. Wheelus who has since married HughH. Huggins, left no descendants. W r hen he died he was in debt to Henry J.Long S25 00 and Long took letters of administra tion ad culligendum upon Ms estate and advertised for permanent let ters* This latter application was caveated upon the ground that there was no intestacy. The will was presented tor -probat* and after a protracted contest, was finally es tablished. At the testator's death he was possessed of a large estate. Susan Huggins claimed the entire estate, both personalty and realty, and on this ground selected her husband to administer- who made application for letters ofadministra' tion with the will annexed. Both Long’s application for letters of ad ministration and Huggins for let ters with the will annexed, were carried, by appeals to the Superior Court. The foimer was tried, and .-.f.-er muen testimony, the issue, under the rulings and charges of the presiding Judge, was found in favor of Huggins, and administra tion with the will annexed beine awarded to him by the judgment of the Court, nnd thereupon Long moved the Court to set aside this judgment and grant him a new trial, not only upon the customary and usual grounds found in such mo tions, but upon others, excepting to various rulings and charges of the Court, which motion, after being considered, was overruled and the new trial refused, to which Long excopted and brought the case here* by writ of error, In Leverett vt. Dtsmukes, 10 Ga. R 98, most of the questions in con - t.oversy in the present case came before this Court and were then de termined contrary to ihe views now insisted upon by the plaintiff in error. Lumpkin J. after showing that by our statute, the same rules obtained in regard to tho granting of lettere of administrat’on as those that regulate the distribution of in testates estates, declared it a rule of the English law, no less than our own, that administratio 1 followed the right of distribution. Follers F.xrs. 116. And „he leason given why the person having the title to the estate ought to have the admin istration, is because he is most in- to-oofpfi. and will take the best care of it. 2 Eq. Ca. al. 109, p i., n I bid 423 pi. 15. So far. indeed, he continaes, is the doctrine carried, which gives the administrat'on to the person entitled to the property, that though the statute directs the husband or wife to be preferred, yet, tl eir claim will yield if the estate goes to other persons, as when by settlement upon the death of the feme, her property is to pass to her representatives, to the ex clusion of her husband,, her re latives shall have the administra tion in preference to the husband or bis representatives. Toll 85, 116, Bay vs. Dudgeon 6 Mant. 132 In that case, os it is claimed here, ho contest was between the next cf kin and the party having the largest interest in the estate, there likewise it happened as here, that the party having this interest was a married woman who made choice of her husband to administer in ber stead, and there as here, this choice was affirmed, end the administration was granted in accordance with her selection. “If a son dies intestate and witnout brothers or sistets” says this eminent juriest “the father is entitled to the whole estate and to administration; and if the father die before administration is grant ed, administration shall be granted to his representative, lor the estate was* an interest vested; and the Court regards the property in grant ing administration: 11 Vinev. pi. 25, Culthur va. Wilkinson, 1 Calls R.*l. This case was decided in the Court of Appeals in Virginia in 1797 and resembles in principle the case before the Court. For by the Act of 1827, (New Dig. 294) as well as by 29 Charles 11, Ch. 3. (Ib 1129) the husband is entitled by admin istration 10 recover al) the estate of the wife, real and persona], as well as her rights and credits, and enjoy ffea oom* witliAiil L* * - _ of 1828, a feme covert cannot be an executrix or administratrix during coverture, but her letters when al ready granted, shall not abate, A fortiori, although otherwise en» titled, will they be withheld from her on account of the coverture. But, in either event, the husband snail be entitled to' such letters upon his complying with the re- qauttions of the law. New Dig. 827. W. hold these inferences to beirresistablo. 1st. That by the Act of. 1828, a married woman cannot be the re presentative of an estate; and see* ondly. that wherever she would be otherwise entitled, and is disquali fied by reason of the coverture, that the husband is next entitled in pre ference to any body else. This decision has been quoted at length, not only breause it is well to refer to fundamental principles arid to understand how they have been applied by the venerable sages of the law, who have preceded us and from whom we should draw in spiration and learning to guide and direct us, but because every princi ple there set foith and in the Acts referred to, has been embodied in our present Code. 2494. and others of a cognate character. What dif ference can it make in reason or law, whether the interest to be ad ministered is derived from an intes tacy or a will. The surviving hus band or wife is first er titled-Ib. sub. sec, 1, then the next of kin at the time of the death according to the law declaring relationship and distribution, are Dext entitled, but if the party died testate, the person most beneficially interested under the will shall have the preference. Ib. sub. sac. 2, and as a general rule to ccver all cases not specially pro vided for tho person having the right to the estate ought to have the administration, ib, sub. sec. 10. In the case of 3 married womau who is next of kin, or when her letters abate by the marriage, the husband is entitled to the administration ac cording to the decretioa of the Or dinary, as between him and other persons entitled thereto under any o. the prescribed rules. Ib. sub. sec. 9. It is true that in Jones vs. White- head, 66, Ga., 290, an opinion is expressed that the party applying for the admi:..8tration, and who would claim a preference to its grant, should be the legatee under the will of the person upon whose estate the administration is sought and must not derive that interest mediately throunh or front the wills ofdiveis persons who claim under the legatee, and while it is conced ed that this rule may be in accord ance with the letter of the statute, yet we tuink that in a case situated as the one at bar, it would not carry out the policy of the legislature as heretofore maintained and upheld by this Court. Besides, that case is, in our opinion, distinguishable from this in its main features, one, and the most striking of which is, that the contest there was between the next of kin who was, in addition, incipal creditor, and the select- husband of one who had no claim or interest, except through three or four successive wills, be ginning with the will of a legatee in the original will, and who was not the sole beneficiary under that ori ginal will. Here the contest is be tween the wife of the legatee, who was made his sole legatee, before the property was reduced to posses ion and before the will under which he took was established. The wife although incompetent, by reason 0 f her present coverture, to administer, yet has the power, by statute, 0 f selecting her husband. Long so far from being a principal creditor was only so to a trifling extent, and was not in the remotest degree, as we are informed by the record, con nected either by blood or affinity wi.h the testator whose estate he sought to administer and whose will he lent his aid to overthrow and defeat. To prefer him to one who is the only successor of the testators bole legatee, would, as we must con clude, be a direct violation of both the reason and spirit of law, and would undermine and entirely dis regard the policy of the General As sembly in its enactment. _ This contest which settled the right to administer, has alieady been unreasonably protracted. The esta.e should not bo consumed by on attempt to control its administra tion, especially as there ie no objec tion to the fitness of the person upon whom the administration has been confirmed to discharge its duties, and none to his responsi bility.
