Found entity of Conducting Himself In a Idanner Violative of fell Ordination Vow ---Sentence Recommended of Suspen sion for a Time not Exceeding Ten Years—Waiting Till the 19th. Atlawta, Feb. 5.—Rumors flew thick and fast this morning as to what had been the finding of the Ecclesiastical Court in the celebrated Armstrong case. On application of a reporter to Dr. Arm strong for a copy of any communication he might have received. The Doctor admitted that he had received a letter from Bishop Beckwith but he did not feel at liberty to give it out for publica tion. Your representative learned, how- eve.,from other reliable sonrees that the finding of the court is, substantially, that Dr. Armstrong -‘conducted himself in a manner inconsistent with and in vio lation of his ordination vow, but do not find that the testimony establishes im morality.” The ordination vow of the church, upon which this verdict seems to have been founded, as laid down in the prayer-book, is as follows: “Will you apply all your diligence to frame and fashion vour own life and the lives of your families according, to the doctrine of Christ; and to make both yourself and them, as much as in you lieth, wholesome examples of the flock of Christ?” The court seems to have hekl that the drinking of beerat his hotel and the vis iting of bawdy houses in Cincinnati for a proper and laudable purpose, facts which I)r. Armstrong, has never denied, constitute a violation of his ordination vow in that he failed to be a wholesome example. n The sentence of the court is that he he be suspended from his office for such length of time as the Bishop may deem best, not to exceed ten years. WHEN THE SENTENCE WILL TAKE EF FECT, The Bishop has given to Dr. Arm strong until the l'Jth of the month in which to present any communication by himself or his cqpnsel seeking a new ring or a modification of the tindin of the court. So the case cannot be co sidered closed untiljifter the lGth inst. The wardens and vestry of St. Phillip’s Church who have been present through out this ecclesiastical court's proceedings express their unshaken confidence of the integrity and Christian character of Dr. Armstrong. No one is authorized to speak for the Bishop as to what his opinion may be. It is said, howe tlifct in view of the united feeling of con fidence by the people of St. Phillip’s par- for their rector, the' Bishop may deem the - suspension already submitted to by Dr. Armstrong, as a sufficient punishment for his indiscretion in failing to be a‘‘wholesome example** on one oc- asion. As the case now stands, specula tions are useless. as no conclusion can be reached until after the lfith inst.

Tbs Thing Athens Has Besn Heeding a Long ... -. .... Tims. Yesterday morning a B.-W. reporter was perambulating down Broad street hunting for news, wit on he was hailed by Skiff, the jeweler. We at once rushed in, and wore told that Atnens was going to have a city clock. Mr. Skiff then showed us a plan he had draw*n, esti mates he had made, etc. He says that at the next meeting of the city council he intends to submjt the plan to this body, asking their co-operation to make, the enterprise a success. WIIAT IT WILL COST. Mr. Skiff says that the clock, fixtures, bell and evetythinglo complete, f.oi close estimate by himself, will cost about $l,5UO.

Y., Feb. a, 1S86.— Six years ago George 'Waterhouse, then eight years of age and a resi dent of Lansinhurg, was bitten by a dog. The dog was not supposed to be mad at the time and was not shot. The boy's wound healed rapidly, and nothing more'was thought of the affair until a few days ago, when t!,r lad complained of dizzi ness in his head. Soon symptoms similar to those of hydrophobia be gan to develop. His condition be came so alarming to-day that Dr. McLean, of Troy, 'was sent lor. Toward night the lad grew rapidly worse. He was suffering terribly and had .the disease apparently in its worst form. His eyes protruded in a ghastly manner and the frot was running from his mouth. A council of physicians, that was present concluded that he could not live. It was decided that as he had to die it would be better to end his dreadful sufferings at once. He was given chloroform and thus ren dered insensible. LETTER FROM JEFFERSON. The case of \Ym. Poss vs. H. D. Hu man, for damages, was tried. Poss re ceived $100 damages.

Detroit, Mich.. Jan. 30.—A curi ous warfare, of which the public of this city or elsewhere have heard nothing,’ is bemg hotly waged here. It is between the Michigan Central, the Wabach, the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern and the Detroit, Lansing ami Northern Railroad companies, on the one hand, and the four English daily newspapers—the Free Press, Tribune. News and Journal on the other. Their equal numerical forces does not of it self make the conflict an equal one. HOW THE FIGHT BEGAN. A month ago the four railroads named resolved that after Jan. 1 they would no longer pay the news- papers for printing their respective time cards. For years past regular advertising rates have been charged for publishing the time tables. At the meeting when it was decided to stop the practice,the roads argued that the papers must publish the ar- rivals'and departure of trains as a matter of news, and reasoning thus it was not a difficult matter to con vince the railroad representatives present that lor years the Detroit newspepers had been extorting money from the railroads. Howev er as a matter of courtesy, the roads decided to grant the dailies annual passes “on condition of the publica -tion of the time cards of the compa ny.” This they had long done with the country press, and they failed to see why the condition should not also be exacted from those dai lies. The surprise of the railroads wi. great, therefore, when the Detroit dailies, as if by previous understan- store. They were at once arrested and lodged in jail, and will be tried next I din K ; simultaneously stopped the DEATH OF MU.

Winterville, Feb. 4.—This morning at 2 o'clock, Mr. John Winter breathed his last. Ue had only been sick since last Saturday night, but so rapidly did the disease progress that in four days time it accomplishes its deadly work.* Mr. Winter’s death was a shock to the whole community; many did not know that he was sick, and several of his kin dred did not get here until after his death. All business in our place is sus pended, and arrangements are being made for the funeral, which will take place to day at 10 o'clock, from the Methodist church here. He will be buried with Masonic honors. Mr. Winter was born in the city of Bremen, Germany, 53 years ago, and came to this country in 1860, landing at Charleston, and early in 1861 camt to this place, which has been his home until his death. When about 16 years old he went aboard a German vessel and visited eve ry country except Australia and China. During the Crimean war his vessel was engaged in the English service in trans porting troops to the seat of war. His vessel stayed in the Black Sea and at Constantinople eight months. During this time he had opportunity to examine Asia Minor and other countries adjacent, j noting especially tht ; : farming opera tions, which was of great benefit to him after he came to this country. He saw tne charge of the “brava six hundred,” and the fall of Sabastopol. Mr. Winter, during the late war, was in the service of the Georgia railroad as depot agent and station master, in which service he died, and many a sick soldier returning from the front did he care for and carry to their homes on their arrival at this plaoe. After the war he engaged in farming and merchandis ing, and by his sagacity and energy had amassed a considerable fortune. He was never known to turn a deaf ear to the appeals of the destitute, but was known for his charitable acts to the deserving poor. This class lias lost their best friend. Mr. Winter had been a consis tent member of the Methodist church since 1865, and was a member of the Odd Fellows and Masonic fraternities. He leaves * a broken-hearted wife and large family of children to mourn his loss. Peace to his ashes. week. One of the negroes swallowed 75 cents, in 25 cents pieces. Jefferson, Ga., Feb. 4.~Yesterday was a cold, rainy day at Jefferson, and the crowd was not so large as the day before. There was only one case disposed of by the court. Several were postponed or settled amicably. A horse running away with a post, to which lie was hitched, caused some ex citement on the public square Wednes day evening.. Jackson now has restriction from the sale of liquor by the drink, and it is sold only by the.quart. We understand two or three petitions are now in the Ordi nary’s office, calling for a contest to pro hibit the sale altogether in tke count}’. When it does take place, old Jackson will be found in the march for progress and reform. Candidates are even now cropping out for county offices next year. There is a good deal of talk about the election. Three or four candidates are electioneer ing for sheriff. Col. Dunlap, from Gainesville, is in at tendance upon Jefferson court. The Colonel is a strong Bacon man, and thinks that the gentleman from Bibb will be the next Governor. Jackson eouifty has about 3,000 voters, is about 35 miles from one corner of the county to the other, has some as live and progressive farmers as there are in the state, cannot be excelled for her .edu cational advantages, her clever people and growing industries. The following is a list of the* grand ju rors for this term of the court They are a representative class of men: H. R. Howard, Foreman; C H Hill, Wm P Mangum, C L Cofer, H J Sells, J N Hardy, T H Kiblack, S W Sherard, Mar cus C Hause, H H Hancock, Sherwood W Jackson, Wm G Steed, Wm Collier, DC Fowler, I G Allen,Terrell-Murphy, C T Whitehead, J W Lord, Wm S McEl- hanney, W J Archer, Hugn Atkins, W F G Barnett, A H Brock. publication of the time cards, and on Jan. loth, when the annual tick ets expired, refused to accept the new ones offered. The different lines were also notified that all no tices of excursions, change in the time of the running of trains and sinfiila* announcements which the papers here have been accustomed to publish free ot charge, would be accepted only on payment of regular rates. The spirit of the press soon spread to every one connected with the press, and, although no order to that effect were issued, it was un derstood that war had been declar ed and that the campaign was to be a long one. Since Jan. io theTe has not been a reporter who has not been able to scent a railroad accident twice the distance of before, and several recent fatal accidents have been unusually harrowing and dis tressing. SOME DISCOVERYS MADE. Among other things the papers have suddenly discovered that a number of railroad gates are needed at an equal number of street cross ings, and this discovery resulted thfs week in State Railroad Commis sioner William McPearson of How ell, coming here toJn>pect the alle ged dangerous localities, and the gates will no doubt be ordered up by the commissioner. The propo sition of the railway companies to charge extra storage forgiain stored their elevators in order to force removal, although no unusual thing has just been tound to be a high-handed outrage,’\on the De troit Board of Trade, and such a howl was raiaed that the companies changed their minds and notified the Board of Trade that extra sto rage rates would not be charged.

JOHN WINTER. The above named gentleman was bur ied yesterday at the cemetery in Winter ville with Masonic honors. Mr. Winter was a member of Mt Vernon Lodge, of this place. There were a large number of his friends at the funeral, afid the cere mony was very imposing. Elder J. W. Mitchell preached at An tioch fifth Lord’s daj in January. Mr, C. W. Allison, of Shady Dale, spent a few days with relatives and friends in Oconee last week. The public roads are almost impassa ble at present, owing to the hard freezes and heavy rains. While I have seen nat urally much worse roads than ours, I don’t remember ever seeing them as bad ly neglected. There are some places on our roads that might be cut out or filled as the case demands. We find just after a short rainy spell, other places that will cut down so deep that you can’t pull half a load. All this state of roads waS ex cusable when our country was sparingly settled, but since we have become more densely populated, and having more transportation necessity demands better roads, Let our road commissioners see that each road commissioner has hands according to his work. Where one road has half as much work as an other just give half as many hands, and more hands to go on the bad road. Then require each overseer to turnpike and macadamize a portion of every road, and those wet places will be as firm as elsewhere, and we can soon get all of the places to be the best. Let the com missioners see that all the roads are worked this way, and we can then live perhaps, until the railroad will come to our relief.. It may be best to tax the citizens of the county and then put the roads in good condition. Every tax payer knows that the hands are on the roads long enough to put them in good condition, but from some cause they quit, and all go home, and the first heavy rain comes clears away most of their work, and in gullies and ruts we find ourselves until next year, when, if we had a man in every district, paid by the county, and his hands hired by the month, and his business to give so many hours of well-directed work, that would stand. It would cost the county a little more for five years, hut by that time we would have good roads that every citizen would he proud of, and where we now have to use a four hundred dollar team, we could do like your street cars, put half-size mnles and carry double the load.

Perhaps some poar sinner may read it and take heart to make a right for life: Farther and farther, deeper and deeper I was sinking; 1 was get ting hopeless lor business, hopeless for all sacial standing, hopeless lor all the temporal interests of this world, hopeless tor eternity; and in the very madness of my disordeied brain, and in my very soul, there seemed at times no averuie of es cape at all from this self-imposed bondage except through insanity on one hand, and through suicide on the other. I saw that my wife and children had given yp all hope; they did not know, from day to day, how I would come home to them. They had seen me brought there, day ifter day, time after time, insensible *nd unable to recognize them from i;he influence of this deadly and poisonous drug. They had seen me when 1 was brought in and laid on my bed covered with bload, and it seemed as though my days were indeed numbered, and that I would soon tail in the midst of my iniqui ty. They had seen me when I was brought home with the wounds of the knife and pistol on my body, and they had heard the rumors from the streets and dives ot the dangers with which I had been constantly surrounded ot late. To them it seemed as though there was no ave nue, no loophole of escape for me from a terrible death. There was uot the sign of hope or spirit beam ing out from their beautiful faces. They knew not, from day to day, whether I would live to greet them another day. They knew not whether, if my life were prolonged, they would oe able to procure the very necessities of life from day to day. They knew not at what hour the very shelter that shielded them from the storm and from the heat would be removed from over their heads, and they removed from un der its shelter. There were visions of uncertainty, ot the sheriff to dis possess, of the heartless landlord to distrain lor lent, of the creditor to come and take all. There was n< future ahead of them, except a fu ture of impenetrable gloom, through which seemed to come nothing but warnings ol'deeper woe and ago nies yet to come. O. Lord, how good thou wast to me; thou hast given me relief from that bondage at my seeking. At last there came a time when I seemed to have reached the lim it. Something strange impelled me to take my little children as a lov ing act, an a?t it seemed to me of reparation for neglects of weeks preceding, and go upon the train to Cartersville, wnere Brother Jones was preaching to immense audi ences, and from whence the repoit had come that that there were many and many hundreds, and even thousands, who were coming back into harmony with God. And as 1 sat opon the piatl'orm endeavoring to take in stenography the words as they fell from his lips, it seemed to me that God had inspired hint to preach upon one certain line.

I could find no relief in potations where I had often found indiffer ence and capability to take on a cool exterior. There was nothing there to give me surcease from the sorrow in my bosom; and I went on and on until the second day, on Tuesday, at noon. I went into mv library room, feel upon my knees, buried my face in my hands; and I pleaded with Christ that he would let me cling to his cross, lay down all iny burdens and sins there, and be rescued and saved by his com passion; that I might be washed in the stream of blood from his bleed ing side; and that my sins, though they were as scarlet, might be white as snow. 1 wrestled lor four long hours in as much agony as I ever suffered. At the end ot that time, when 1 had reached a conclusion, when I had come to understand that there was nothing of earth that could avail me, least of all with Christ, then 1 gave mysell entirely to him, made an unconditional surrender, and that moment he seized my soul. He dipped it in the stream which was white and pure, and the light of heaven shone in upon me. In my new-found joy I rushed into the presence of wife and chil dren. I proclaimed the glad ti dings to their astonished ears, and they could hardly believe it, though they saw that some great revolution had taken place. They knew not whether it uas a, surrender to Christ, or whether it had been a sur render to madness. But when I went out that even ing I had three thousand circulars printed and distributed all over At lanta, telling the people 1 had found my Saviour; that I had made peace with God; and that I would live a life of righteousness ever af ter, and desired to make a procla mation for once and irrevocable. They gathered at 7 o’clock upon the public streets at night, and there before them I proclaimed the fact, and, blessed be God, I have been proclaiming it ever since with in creasing joy, and with the certainty that my salvation is complete. Returning home, 1 could see that Jesus had knocked at the tomb of my wife’s life, as he did at that of Lazarus, and had called it forth in all its pristine strength and beauty, and its bloom aud blossom have been on my pathway ever since. I could see' that my -children had found tongue to sing the joy and praise and their hearts had been set attuned, as they never had been be fore, to the melody of childhood, singing to the ears of fatherhood. 1 could see that there was gladness, wherever I went, upan the faces of friends and acquaintances; and when the news had gone abroad in the land they |vfho had knawn me abroad sent me their glad congrat ulations and their encouragement Blessed be God from the day he reached down and lilted me up from the miry pit, and established my feet upon the rock of Christ that is higher than we, I have been going on front joy to joy, a bird of liberty, singing the praises of m) Redeemer. Aad so, having been thus saved and thus bealed, I would call you who are in that terrible bondage to sack relief of the same great Physi- The story published in these columns recently, from the Roches ter, N. Y., Democrat and Chron icle, created a deal ol comment here as it has elsewhere. Apparently it caused even more commotion in Rochester, as the following from the same paper shows; Dr. J. B. Henion who is well know not only in Rochester, but in nearly every part of America, sent an extended article to this paper a few days ago which was duly published, detailing his remarkable experience and rescue from what seemed to be certain death. It would be impossible to enumerate the personal inquiries which have been made at our office as to the validity of the article, but they have been so numerous that further investigation of the subject was deemed necessary. With this end in view a represen tative of this paper called on Dr. Henion at his residence on Andrews street when the following interview occured: “That article of yours, Doctor, has created quite a whirl wind. Are the statements about the terrible condition you were in, and the way you were rescued, such as you can sustain?’’ ‘•Every one of them and many additional ones. I was bronght so low by neglecting the -first and most simple symptoms. I did not think I was sick. It is true I had frequent headaches; felt tired most of the time; couid eat nothing one day and was ravenous the next; felt dull pains and my stomach was out of order, but I did not think it meant anything serious The medical profession has been treating symp toms instead of diseases for years, and it is high time it ceased. The symptoms I have just mentioned or any unusual action or irritation of the water channels indicate the approach of kidney diseases more than a cough announces the coming of consumption. We do not treat the cough, but try to held the lungs We should not waste our time try ing to believe the headache, pains about the body or other symptoms, but go direct y to the kidneys, the source of most of these ailments.” “This, then, is what you meant when you said that moie than one- half the deaths which occur arise from Bright’s disease, is it Dac- tor?” “Precisely. Thousands of diseases are torturing people to-day, which in reality are Bright’s diseases in some of its many forms. It is a hydra headed monster, and the slighest symptoms should strike terror to every one who has them. I can look back and recall hundreds of deaths which physicians declared at the time were caused by paralysis apoplexy, heart diseases, pneumonia malarial fever and other common complaints, which I see now were caused by Bright’s disease.” “And did all these cases have sim ple symptoms at first?" “Every one of them, and might have been cured as 1 was by the timely use of the same remedy. I am getting my eyes thoroughly opened in this matter and think I am helping others to see the facts and their possible danger also.” Mr. Warner, who was visited at his establishment on North St. Paul street, spoke very earnestly; "It is true that Bright’s disease had increased wonderful, and we find, by reliable statistics, that from ’70 to ’So, its growth was over 250 per cent. Look at the prominent men it has carried off, and is taking off eveiy year, for while man« are dying apparently of paralysis and apoplexy, they are really victims of kidney disorder, which causes heart disease, paralysis, apoplexy, etc. Nearly every week the papers record the death of some prominent man from this scourge. Recently, however, the increase has been checked andt attribute this to the general use of my remedy.” “Do you think many people are afflicted with it to-day who do not realize it?” "A prominent professor in New Orleans medical college was lectu ring before his class on the subject of Bright’s disease. He had various fluids“under m-croscopic analysis, was showing the students what the indications of this terrible malady were. And now, gentlemen,’ he said ‘as we have seen the unhealthy- indication I will show you how it appears in a state ol perfect health, and he submitted his own fluid to the usual test. As he watched the results his countenance suddenly changed—his color and command both left him and in a trembling voice he said: ‘Gentlemen, I have made a painful discovery; I have Bright’s disease of the kidneys, And in less than a year he was dead. The slightest indications of any kidney difficulty should be enough to strike terror to any one.” You know ot Dr. Henion’s case?” “Yes, 1 have both read and heard of it.” “It is very wanderful, is it not?" “No more so than a great many others that have come to my notice as having been cured by the same means.” “You believe then that Bright’s disease can be cured?" “I know it can. I know it from my own and the experience ot thousands of prominent persons who were given up to die by both their physicians and friends,” “You speak of you own experie nce; what was it?” “A fearful one. I had felt languid and unfitted tor bnsiness for years. But I did not know what ailed me When, however, I found it was kidney difficulty I thought there was little hope and so did the doctors. 1 have since learned that one of the physicians of this city pointed me out to a gentleman on the street one day, saying: ‘There goesa man who will be dead within a year.’ I believe his words would have proved true if I had not prov identially used the remedy now, known as Warner’s Safe Cure.” “Did you make a chemical analy sis of the case of Mr. H. H. War ner some three years ago, Doctor?” was asked Dr. S. A. Lattimore, one ot the analysts of the state board ol health.” “Yes, sir.” “What did this analysis show you?” “A serious disease of the kidney.” “Dtd you think Mr. Warner could recover?” “No, sir. I did not think it possi ble.” ‘•Do you know anything about the remedy which cured him?” “I have chemically analyzed it and find it pure and harmless.” Dr. Henion was cured five years ago and is well and attending to his professional duties to-day, in this city. The standing of Dr. Henion, Mr. Warner and Dr, Lattimore in the community is beyond question, and the statements they make can not for a moment be doubted Dr. Henion’s experience shows that Bright’s disease ol the kidneys is one of the most deceptive and dan gerous ot alt diseases, that it is exceedingly common, but that it can be cured if taken in time.

Besieged Three Days by Indians and Crawl ing In Mortal Anguish Past their Scouts. Portltod, Ore., Ncwa. I was prospecting for gold in Western Washington, near the Ida- ho line and about twenty miles north of the Snake river. Suddenly I heard a shot, followed by several others. I turned, and much to my astonishment, saw scarcely 200 yards away, fifty mounted Black- foot Indians in full war paint. In voluntarily I took a run toward the bluff’and over it I went. I stiuck twice going ijown, and landed with out being severely hurt. The In dians came hovriing like a pack of hyenas to the euge, and shot at me over the edge of the precipice. The bluff cuaved inwardly, and I took up my station between two large rocks and was master of the situa tion. It was a natural fortification. The Indians went down the bluff', and concealing themselves, com menced firing, keeping it up during the night. I returned their fire oc casionally. The next morning they resumed operations bright and early, and about noou I sent one to the happy hunting grounds. I would place my hat on a stick and hold it above the rock and they would bang away and then peer round to see the ef fects of their shots. The fellow I plunked showed too- much of his red hide, and I let him have it. I fired about twenty-five shots that day. 1 was afraid, you see, that my ammunition would run out, At 7 o’clock that evening they - made a grand rush, and I worked my Henry rifle like a steam pump, and the way she threw the bullets was a caution. I had made a dummy out of my coat and hat, and they nearly ruined both when I held it above the rock. Then I let it fall, and they thought I was a goner, and made a rush to scalp me. Three Blackfeet turned Jup their toes before the rush was stopped, and when the blood-thirsty wretch es got back into the brush the way they threw the lead against the rocks sounded like a hail storm, and it actually made my hair stand on end. • The third day of the siege I thought I would try ’em till night and then try to get away. This re vived me to keep up the fight. The moon came up bright and clear, and was in their favor for seeing im position, and at 8:30 they made a charge on me with ull ‘their force. I fired thirty-two shots into the ad- vancing horde ot deTils, and am sure I made two good Indians be fore they retreated. My position was almost impregnable. They re treated sullenly, and then remained very quiet. After 11 o’clock the A horse was sold in Madison yes- terday for four dollars. His only blemish was extreme poverty. Mr. J. A.

By 12 o'clock even this ceased. My enemies had evidently became tired and gone to sleep. By 1 o’clock the moon had got behind them, which was an advan tage to me, and I thought it was time for me to mosey. It took ’ tne two hours to crawl three hundred yards, which waj the outside line of the cordon they had drawn in a semi-circle around the position 1 occupied. I had my. gun cocked, and in such a position that I could instantly blow my brains out if 1 saw that I was about to be captur ed. The brush was dry, and the slightest motion would make it crackle. The miuutes seemed ages of torture. I passed within ten feet of four Indians. Two were on the ground in their blankets fast asleep, and twb watchers were sit ting alongside each other also fast asleep. The extreme peril I was in almost paralyzed me, but I glided like a snake past them, although I could scarcely restrain an impulse to kill the wretches right there and then. This perilous crawl was what turned my hair gray. I had never known what fear actually was till then. I felt the awful peril of my position sc keenly that it seemed at times as though my heart actu ally stopped beating ana that the blood curdled in my veins. Many a night since in my dreams have I rehearsed that awful crawl, which 1 shall never forget as long as I live. Finally, thank God, I got far enough away so that I could get up and run like a man, instead ot crawling like a snake, and how J did go it.
