The Former Ordinary of Habersham Will
Try the Chain Gang.
The great tnal of the state against
R. N. Groves, the former Ordinary
of Habersham, was tried this week
before fudge Lumpkin at Clarks
ville. There has been a great deal
of crookedness in the county offices
of this county, and the peuple were
burdened with taxes on account of
this crookedness, and were deter
mined to ferret the matter out and
bring the guilty ones to justice.
There were several indictments
against Groves. His lawyers did
their best for a continuance, but to
no purpose. Judge Lumpkin over
ruled all the little technicalities and
had the cases tried, and Groves was
convicted. In one case he was
found guilty and sentenced to six
months in jail. In another he was
sentenced to twelve months in the
chain-gang, and to pay a fine of $1,-
000 and the costs ol suit. Mr.
Groves has been a man of some
prominence in the county, and
served as Ordinary for a great many
years. It is said by. those who
know, that he has only beeu duped
by outside parties, as he is a poor
man and has never made anything
by his operations with the money

MORE ENCOURAGEMENT.
Accoiding to the statement of
Chancellor Mell, the prospects for
a larger attendance than ever at the
Tlniversity this year is very flatter
ing. Should this be the case, it can
be safely claimed that prohibition
was largely instrumental in bring
ing about such good results. We
hope that the expectations of the
faculty and of our citizens in this
respect will be fulfilled, and that our
grand old University! will be the
peer of any educational institution
in the couqtry.
There was but little discussion du
ring the consideration of the amend
ments, the house evidently having
determined to accept them as being
the best that could be had trom the
senate.
The bill to call a constitutional
convention, which was made the
special order after disposing of the
local option bill, is under considera
tion. Two hundred copies of the
bill were ordered printed, and the
bill was made the special order tor

MORGAN MITES.
A St. Louis gentleman, speaking
of the deadly encounter betweeU'Ju
T. Holland, the Texan who killed
Davis, a New York confidence man,
says he became Well acquainted
with the Lone Star marksman and
a couple of his friends, J. T. Hill,
and R. H. Holcombe, from the
same state, who registered at the
Planters’ house on Aug. 26, and du
ring their stay of a week’ or ten
days they proved star attractions,
wherever there was an audience.to
entertain, with blood-curdling sto
ries of Texas hravery and a reck
less exhibition of, bowie-kpives and
six-shooters. Holland, the leader
of the party, seemed never so happy
as when standing two-thirds full of
whisky before a oar counter, twirl
ing hi* revolver and otherwise dex
terously handling the weapon,
which he knew well how to do.
The more attention he could draw
at such times the better it suited
him, but his audiences were inva
riably so appreciative of his artistic
handling of a Texas pistol that a
very little of the performance went
a long way. Those who chanced to
be near who were noton very inti
mate terms generally withdrew
before the close of the first act and
retired to places of safety, where
distance lent enchantment. Others
who considered it more prudent to
remain than run the risk of dis
pleasing the royal cow boy submitted
timorously, but gracefully to his
maudlin embraces while he stuck
the cold steel muzzle of a Colt’s
navy in their ear or amused himself
in testing the nerve of long-necked
acquaintances by, seeing how quick
and close he could draw a keen-
edged knife across their throats
without spilling blood.
At other times Holland would
fancy that some handsome bar orna
ment was the prettiest target he
ever saw. Then it required the
most artful coaxing te dissuade him
from firiug a bullet into the thing.
Hill was not somuch of a reveler
as his companions. He liked to go
to bed early, but the others always
wanted him with them. One night
after Hill had been in bed just a lit'
tie while the bell boy summoned
him by a vigorous knocking at
the door and announced to him that
his friends were engaged in a des
perate fight down stairs in the bar
room. It did not take Hill more
than a second to complete his toilet
by sticking his six shooter in the
waist of his drawers, and the next
moment found him at the bottom
of the stairs near the barroom en
trance. Taking his revolver in hand
ready for action he walked into the
presence of Holland and Holcombe.
They seized hold of him and told
him they were going out that night
to do the town up in glowing colors
and he had to go with them, but
Hill did not go. He embraced the
first opportunity to slip off to bed
again, and refused to be tempted
from his room by any mote bogus
reports of shooting aflrays. Joe
Drukker, the jeweler, found a good
customer in Holland. One day he
vvalacd into the store to get a tine
gold watch he had lett there for re
pairs. The little negro bootblack,
commonly known among his Fourth
street patrons as ‘•Snowball,” was
at the door when Holland commenc
ed to guy “the granger,” as he
called the Texan. Holland became
furious at the taunts, and threatened
with an oath to kill him if he did
not stop calling him a granger. It
tickled the little fellow to see the big
cowboy get so mad. “Say, gran
ger,” said he, “where’d you git that
hat? Have a shine, granger?” Hol
land raved and reached for his re
volver, but changing his mind, as if
he thought the game too small, he
grabbed up a spittoon and was
about to hurl it through the door at
the boy’s head.
He called you stranger,” said
Mr. Drukker, at that instant; he
didn’t call you a granger.”
It was a lucky excuse, that i ame
just in the nick of time, for the Tex
an lowered the spittoon that he held
aloft with his stalwart right arm,
and the shiner was allowed to walk
away with nothing more to hurt his
feelings than a parting volley of cur
ses.

ANCIENT HISTORY.
From tiie Georgia H* mum Journal.
Incredible a*, if may *eem, it is
nevertheless, an authenticated fact
that,in olden times.not only men. buf
brutes were, !n*he.eyes of the law,
held to be strictly accountable for
all ■ their individual actions; and,
When the interests of the comnp{‘.
nity happened to sufler any detri
ment, from some particular deed of
theirs, they used to be formally cit
ed before the jurisdiction ofa legal
ly canstructed, court, where suit was
at once entered, and action taken
against theta, in accordance with
the judgment rendered in the case.
Dr. Kriegk, a learned writer on the
state of ancient law in Europe, has
collected a number ol highly inter
esting and curious cases, in illustra
tion ol the prevalent views and
practices in this matter, even among
the most enlightened nations of the
middle ages. The first case record
ed, is that which occurred in the
year 1296 at a place called Oberrad,
in Germany, where two hogs had
bitten a child to death. They were,
we are told, arrested, tried for mur
der, uud sentenced to be buried
alive, which was actually carried
into effect, • shortly after the sen
tence was passed.- A similar case
happened about the same time, at
Frankfort, on the Main, where two
hogs who had kileld a child, were
ordered to be put to death,and
their carcasses to be thrown in the
current of the river. Another case
of the same kind happened as early
to catch suckers. In the letter I as i3S6,at Falatse, in France, where
told the chap that New York was (a hog, who had lacerated the arm
not the place tor him to do business j and face ofa child, was sentenced
in. The oil country was then boom- 10 have one vf his legs and head sim-
ing, and 1 advised him to come here,
or at least open an agency. I pic
tured to him how easy it was to shove
wagon load of the queer. A min
ing or oil town atiorded superior
advantages lor shoving bogus
money. In conclusion, l told him
that I had $10,000 to invet. but like
other oil men, I was not in the hab
it of buying a pig in a poke.
“‘Send on samples,’ I wrote, ‘by
mail or express, and I will examine
the goods, and if they are as stick as
represented, will take $10,000
worth.’ It was utterly impossible
for me to meet him in New York.
If he wanted to transact business,
he must either send samples 01 come
on himself. In atew days a neat ex
press package was delivered at the
door of the old man's house. With
trembling hands lie tore off the
wrapper, revealing a long and nitr-
row pasteboard box. Carefully
hidden under a lot ot papers was a
long package done up - in oiled silk.
In it were lour crisp new hill* of
the denominations of $2, $3 $10 and
$20. They looked like genuine, ami
were pronounced a< such by the
cashier of the Bradford National
bank.
“But I-in getting ahead of my.
story. When the package arrived
the old gentleman sent lor me. He
was nearly wild with excitement.
‘“Ain’t Kiev beauties?’ he cried,
as he tenderly foiidietl the crisp
slips of paper
“ ‘They look good,’ I cried, ‘but
that don’t hinder their being coun
terfeits.’ ’>
‘“That’s exactly what they are,’
said my dad in triumph- * We ain’t
paying fer good money, are we?’
“I admitted the force of the logic.
Then I proposed that 1 take the bills
to a bank for examination. ‘If the
banks say they are good,’ I said
High Shoals, Ga., Sep. 9—Ed:
tor Banner- Watchman: To day at
about 2 o’clock, p. in., proceeding
from a cloud which was gathering
in the south, there came a double
m:al of heavy thunder accompanied
by a flash of lightning who h, strik
ing the main water wheels of the
factory followed the shaft through
an opening through the wall to the
inside of the factory building, and
set on fire the cotton lint which had
accumulated inside of some larger
pullics that were on the shaft and
which were in motion at the time,
but by prompt and energetic action
on the part of the bucket brigade
the fire was soon extinguished.
Operations will be resumed to

LOOKING UP.
It is a gratifying fact that Athens
is undoubtedly looking up. There
is a very commendable rivalry on
the part of our merchants to vie
with each other as to who shall
make the finest display ot their
goods, new signs have been put up,
the fronts of stores as well as the
interiors have been remodeled and
painted up, and our little city is fast
incoming a city in fact. If our
people will now wake up and not
hold their horse .while he is jump
ing,” there is no reason why in the
near future we will be spoken of
not as “staid old Athens,” but be
known abroad as a live, progressive,
wide-awake city. So mote it be.

• Cincinnati, 0., Sept. 9.—The
Commercial Gazette has telegraph
advices from Washington Court
house, Ohio, that a terrific cyclone
passed over that neighborhood last
night, doing great damage to prop
eriy. A number , of lives were
lost.
A Bluming special to the same
paper, adds that that town is in
ruins. Owing to the condition of
the telegraph wires, details cannot
now be given. A violent electrical
disturbance was seen north from
Cincinnati last night, although the
storm herr was not very heavy.
Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 9.—Most
alarming reports are current here
regarding the loss of life and prop
erty on Washington courthouse,
where a cyclone gutted the city last
night. Help was sent this morning
to the destitute families. At Plain
City, iS miles fiom this city, a car
riage factory and factory and mill
were demolished and other build
ings umoofed. This place ts on a
direct line north of Washington
courthouse and ali along south to
the Ohio river, the trail of destruc-
cigarettes and drinking. My eye
was caught by the peculiar pallid
complexion of one of the party—
“etiolated;” I think, is the right
name for'it: Looking more closely
I saw that the young man of pallid
hue was Jay .Gould’s son, George J.
His companions were all- more or
lets bronzed, healthy-looking young
worse than lie otherwise would
have appeared.
When Jay Gould took him into
'partnership in his stock exchange
finn of W. E. Conner & Co., 2
years ago, the young man, although
tbW in stature, was robust and vig
orous, But he began to keep later
hours. Everybody knows that
there are many gay fellows among
the stockbrokers, and the young
man was naturally made much of
on account of his name—although
he is said to be personally a very
pleasant, unassuming fellow, albeit
not a bright conversationalist. Like
most'young men, George has been
attracted by the theatre, and he has
given some notable petit soupers to
pretty actresses. It is not known,
however, that he has permitted
himself to be “stuck” or fascinated
b)r any one of them. Still he is
said to 'find pleasure in the green
room of a theatre rather than on
board the ocean steamer which his
father is pleased to call a yacht, or
on his own tidy sailing yacht; and
the gossip mongers say that Gould
senior passes anxious hours in the
fear that his oldest son may not de
velop his own powers of applica
tion and taste for affairs.
Speaking of Jay Gould, has it
ever occurred to you that in all the
talk about him and his very peculiar
methods—talk that you hear in the
club and in “the street,” and see in
endless columns of newspapers-
you never hear Mrs. Gould men
tioned? It :is wonderful hour com
pletely this lady has withdrawn
from public view. Like her hus
band, she seems to have no social
aspirations whatever, but lives com
pletely in and for her family. The
society mugwumps of New York
have;never had a chance to patron
ize the Goulds-not to curry favor
with them, r.nr bestow social favors
in indirect return tor “points” on
the market, as they have with some
other magnates of Wall street; the
Goulds “have had no use for” these
people. Now, however, that
mr. gould’s little girls
are shooting up toward young lady
hood, women are beginning to gos
sip and wpnder whether the Goulds
tion is reported in like manner.

beyond Narrow valley, Clavton
Klick, aged 17, missing since Wed
nesday evening last, was found and
rescued. The boy and his father,
Henry Klick, of Jonestown, this
county, went to the hills on Wed
nesday morning ia search of moun- '
tain tea. They became separated
in the afternoon, and when evening
came the father called for his boy
but could net find him. Every ef
fort by the father and the neigh
bors to find the boy was in vain.
The mountain was well sprinkled
with deep and dangerous air-shafts
of old and abandoned coal
mines, and it was almost, a
certainty that the boy had
fallen into one of them.
Next day the father and /
friends searched, but found no
traces of the boy. Friday, Sat
urday and Sunday they explor
ed hundreds of holes, hut in
vain. All gave up except the
devoted father, who again went
out on Monday. He had given
up ail hope ot finding the
boy alive, but thought he
might discover his dead , body.
All day Monday he vigorously
hunted high and low. He hal
loed, “Clayton,” “Clayton,” as
loud as he could in the deep .
holes.
Monday evening came, and as
the father was about giving up in
despair, he saw, he saw one
more hole near the edge of a hit!
and he resolved to make a last ef
fort. He knelt and hallowed down
the hole and listened as he had lie* *
teaed hundreds of times during the
past five days. Then he became
startled as he heard a groan. Then
he called again and listened to hear
the feint words of his son answer
ing, “Father, I am down here.”
The old man aroused the neighbors
who lowered a rope 150 feet long
to the bottom of the hole. The
boy wasjust strong enough to tie the
rope to his body, and the men drew
him up. He was nearly dead. His
feet and lower limbs were swollen
and he was nearly starved.
He said that in the dark he had
tumbled down the air vent, which
being zig zagned, broke his tall and
saved his life. Although be was
horribly bruised, he thought he
would have to starve to death. His
joy at hearing his father’s voice was
great. The doctors hope the boy’s
feet will not have to be amputated

was first im-ignetl to ’ duty under
Grant, had never been in Any seri

was placed under a tire of the hot

more difficult task to keep in check
tlie aggresions of noxious maraud
ers. who came in countless multi
tudes, than to curb the individual
license of a single larger brute.
They made our, indeed, indictments
against such offenders as caterpil
lars, ’slugs; rats and mice. But as
these could be neither gibbeted, nor
decapitated, the secular power was
compelled to invoke, on the heads
or the offenders, the anathemas of
some good bishop or hermit A
very remarkable case of this de
scription was enacted, in the year
1545; at Saint Julian, in the,Savory.
It happened at a time when the
vmeiards of that neighborhood
were grievously afflicted, by the de
vastations of a green caterpillar.
The citizens filed a claim of indem
nity at the Bishop’s court, when the
town council of -St. Julian appeared
as plaintiffs for the community, and
two doctors of the canon law were
assigned the caterpillars for the de
fense. And after it was establish
ed, by minute investigation, on the
spot, that th*-injury complained of
li^ii been featly committed, the
spiritual court, after warning the
councih“not. to proceed with inde
cent haste againstjrrational beings”,
ordeieijipuhlic prayers to be offered
in all the sanctuaries of the affilcted
district, and. as it' happened, not
without immediate efleet. For, 4s
the' chronist goes on to state, the
the caterpillars suspended their de-
vnstions for the timt’being. In
fact, the^y disappeared, only to give
the tie^ct’generation ample cause for
renewed complaints, as, after the
absence of 42 years, they came back
ip. vast multitudes. The town coun
cil carried their complaint into “the
bishop’s court again. Their state
ments were verified by the ihspec-
tiofi of the ravages committed in
every tree and shrub in the neigh
horhood. Yet the catterplllars re-
ceived from the spiritual court the
bene fit pf learned counsel. Blit the
citizens were.-reminded first ofall to
reqew the supplications which,, had
proved so effectual during the? last
visitation’, ia the year 1S54, and to
have recourse to the same expirato*
ly processions and “acts ot faith”
resorted to then. Ail of these re
commendations were faithfully
observed, but without producing
the slightest impression on the ob
noxious pests. Their counsel then
expressed their- deep astonishment
at, the unreasonable proceedings
against their clients.. “God said
they hath created not only man, hut
every- beast ’and creeping thing, too.
His command to them was, ‘be
faithfuland multiply.” He would
rying everything before it. The
tornado whirled up Court street,
the main business thoroughfare, and
mined almost every business block
on it—at least ’40 or 50 in all. Hard
ly a private residence in town es
caped, fully .400 buildings going
down. Baptist, Presbyterian .and
Catholic churches all suffered the
common fate. Ohio, Panhandle,
Narrow Gauge and Midland railroad
depots were blown into “smither
eens” and every building in the vi
cinity was carried away, making
ingress or egress almost impossible.
Every wire within the circuit of
two miles is down. Reports re
ceived of the catastrophe are from a
telegraph operator, who, while
wqrking wire two miles west of
town was sitting in heavy rain
storm, wot ks his instrument. Panic
stricken people were taken com
pletely unawaree and fled from the
crumbling buildings in every direc
tion through the murky - darkness.
Mad frenzy seemed to seize them,
and they hurried hither and thither
in their distraction, little knowing
whither they were fleeing. After
a whirlwind which lasted about 10
minutes, a heavy rainfall set in
which continued unabated during
the night. As soon as a few of the
cooler heads recovered their senses,
searching parties were organized
and the sad work ot looking for the
dead began. So far fifteen bodies
have been recovered from the
debris of the various, ruined build
ings, and the dreary work is just'
beginning to get under headway.
It is probable that as many more
will be found. The glimmer of lan
terns, procured from farm houses,
in the vicinity, and from the few
houses left standing, was the only
light they had to work by. 'Two
or three bodies were stumbled upon
in the middle of the street, where
they were stricken down by flying
bricks or timbers. Cellars of houses
and every sort of refuge were filled
with shivering people, huddled to
gether in vain attempts to keep
warm. One babe in arms has died

that vicinity, he docs not know that
he ever saw the lady, but he learn
ed these things from casual conver
sations with residents at various
times. Whenever any of the poor
er residents of the village or vicinity
are sick, Mrs. Gould is always told
by some of her servants. She nev
er sends them money; indeed she
never sends anything. She person
ally visits the family and brings a
lot of cut flowers from her garden,
or it it be winter perhaps some hot
house fruit as a prasent. If the fam
ily is in need she extends help, but
never, they say, gives money; she
thinks that the gift of money pau
perizes the receivers. She buys
clothing, food or whatever may be
necessary, and gives them good,
practical advice, but money never.
A peculiarity is that she will have
nothing to do with the people from
the churches in this work. Some
times a lady or two from one ot the
local churches will make a visit to
the house of a sufferer so as to get
there while Mrs. Gould is present
When this happens Mrs. Gould de
parts suddenly and calls at that
house no more, although she may
send delicacies fhereafeer. She has
a hatred of the tattling, scandal-
mongering type of female that is of
ten fouud in connection with church
visitations of the poor. The mass
of people at Irvington thinks a great
deal of Mrs. Jay Gould, but all the
good thata regiment of such whole

the road leading from his dwelling
to the gin-house with clubs to kill
and rob the old gentleman as he
was going to the fire. Luckily he
went another route and-saved his
lite. The negroes names are John
Higgins, Henry Dillon and Mack
Brown. Riggins has been arrested
and confessed the crime, and impli

As Police Sergeant John Good
rich shuffled off into happy slum
bers night before last, thei a passed
before his mental vision a thief who
bad stolen a hog and was trying to
sell it. It Was a felony, but strange
10 say, the dream was not logically
pursued. The felony fee never
troubled hifti, and he never troubled
the thief. All was hogs; and no
matter wba*t he would do, he could
dream of nothiug but big tat hogs.
When he-awoke yesterday morning
he was oppressed with the vision,
and thought to himself: “Those
hog. numbers will be out to-day, and
I will play them strong.” Accord
ingly he purchased the hog combi
nation at John A. Worth’s policy
shop. The numbers corresponding
to a dream about hogs are 13, 27,40,
53. The policeman played the com
bination and caught $10740 in yes
terday afternoon’s drawing.
