Reese Completely Snowed
Under.
Erer-j body in Athens was on the
lookout for news from the different
counties in 0*e 8th district yesterday.
1 he election of • Bacon had been given
up and the interest centered on Carlton
and Reese. It was conceded on all sides
that Carlton would carry Hart, Madison,
Libert and Franklin, but Oglethorpe was
the battle ground, and here the biggest
work had to he done. If Carlton could
carry Oglethorpe with the small coun
ties, the race was won, and if Reese car
ried it, with his vote already assured, he
would win the .$.>,000 a year prize. A
f**w bets were made on Ogiethorpe going
for Carlton, feeling confident that he had
a fighting chance with the yeomanry of
the county on their side. The first dis
patch that came over th£ lines reached
Athens about 10 o'clock from Hart.
Hartwell, Ga., July fi, 8:30 a. in.—
No material change. Carlton safe if
people turn out.
This enthused the friends of Capt
Carlton, as it was known that Reese had
made the last speech in the county.
K very body had an eye on Oglethorpe,
and the news from that county was
eagerly sought after. When the 12
o'clock train arrived it was heard that
the convention had nominated delegates

of ground and was making some telling

The news spread over Athens rapidly.
Caylton stock went np fifty per cent,
even among the most skeptical.
I’ll bet two to one on Carlton now,’ said
an old campaigner, as he walked out of
the Banncr-AVatchman office after hear
ing the news.
“He's got a heap more than a fighting
chance," said another, as he received the
figures.
“Lets’ see, Hart and Madison carried,
Clarke and Oconee safe, Oglethorpe split,
and Elbert and Morgan pretty sure when
they act, what’s to keep him from win
ning?”
Such were the comments from the
streets.
The. tidings were flashed to
Morgan, and were forwarded to Dr. Carl
ton in Oglethorpe. The general belief
now is that the Doctor will follow Hon.
Seaborn ltecse over the district, and
keep track of him in every county
The Doctor’s friends all felt that this had
been a field day for Carlton and the cam
paign, and the eighth district opened up
favorably enough for the gallant candi
date from Clarke.

THE PEOPLE OF MADISON COUNTT.
Politics in Madison county never get
so unmanageable that the people forget
the courtesies and gcnir.l hospitality of
all broad-minded people. Notwith-
tanding the close contest between Ba
con and Gordon in that county on Tues
day last, the reporter of the Banner-
Watchman did not hear a single heated
expression, and when the final result
was announced the applause was modest
and devoid of the usual excitement on
such occasions. The reporter, while
mentioning the happy characteristics of a
happy people, is pleased in acknowledg
ing the pleasure of enjoying the hospi
tality of Me. J. J. Strickland and his esti
mable wife. The interior of a beautiful
home is made bright and happy by great
and good qualities of mind and heart.
May long life and great future prosperity
attend the family so well worthy of suc

electing congressional delegates until
Saturday, July 17th.
r l his dispatch was followed by another
from Wilkes:
Washington, Ga., July ti.—H. H.
Carlton, or T. L. Gantt. You have good
showing now for this county. The con
vention deferred selection of delegates
until Saturday, the 17th in9t. Can you
speak here on Saturday the loth, at 12
o’clock, and what other time can you
give us? J.
After a feverish sweat of excitement,
the following dispatch was received, that
GIVES HART TO CARLTON.
Hartwell, Ga., July ti.—Carlton car
ried Hart by about seventy-five majority.
This dispatch enthused our people
wonderfully, and three cheers and
tiger ascended from Broad street for Ira
Yanduzer.
Mr. T. L. Gantt in person went down
to < tglethorpe to witness the contest, and
on the 5 o'clock train sent us the follow
ing account of the proceedings of the
•lay;
•‘Every store was closed in Crawford,
that the merchants might attend the
meeting in Lexington. Upon arrival at
the court-house found a crowd on hand
estimated at from tiOO to 1,000 voters.
The Bacon men had given up the tight,
anti the Reeseites were trying to form a
combination with Gordon. At 10:30
o'clock the meeting was called to order
with Mr. John 11. Tiller in the chair.
The meeting assembled* behind the
old store of Haire .V Latimer, there he
ing no ^building in the town for the
people to convene in. A resolution was
introduced and carried with m n few dis
senting votes declaring for Gen. Gordon
for Governor. After that it was moved
and carried that a ballot be taken for
congressman from the 8th district. The
crowd was so equally divided and there
was so much confusion, that it was hard
to decide who was in the majority. At
last a rope was stretched # across the
green, and the Reese men instructed to
get on one side of it and the Carlton men
tho other. A ballot then proceeded,
and all sides seemed satisfied, when a
Reese man assumed unto himself to
close the door and break up the "whole
proceedings. After this, we never saw
such a muddle. The Carlton men yell
ed lusti'y for a primary, while the Ree>e
side wanted a snatch game. A great
many voters left in disgust. We never
saw such a howling mass of humanity as
congregated on the street rear of Gott-
heimer’s stoic. The Reese men had
been inarched up and down the street
and thus kept together. It was hard to
to tell’which side was in the majority
They were working iike bees, and yells
for Carlton and Reese Ailed the air. A
primary election was attempted, but it
proved an utter failure. The Chairman
ol the Executive Committee attempted
t< get order, but he utterly failed. Mr.
Warmack Echols, in behalf of Capt.
Carlton, harrangued the crowd in
behalf a primary election, weile Dr. Bob
Willingham, representing Mr. Reese,
wanted instant action. After the chair
man retired in disgust, everything got so
badly mixed that you could not tell
heads from tails. The Reese men called
John T. Hunt, one of the leaders, to the
chair, and we learn selected delegates.
The Carlton men also ‘ held a meeting
and selected the following list of dele-
H. A. Heyes, W. T. Witcher, G. B.
Lumpkin, B. P. Martin and J. J. C. Mc
Mahan. And right here the moating
broke up. Roth sets of delegates will
probably apply for admission to the
convention, but the Carlton men will be
seated, as the proceedings after the bal
loting was stopped was altogether ir
regular, and the Reese men broke up the
voting, Capt Carlton And Mr. Reese
both spoke to large audiences, and Carl
ton just used his opponent up.
At seven o’clock the special courier o
the Banner-Watchman reached Athena,
and threw upon tho table the returns
from Madison county. They read like
an inspiration. Carlton received 302
votes and Reese 142 votes in Madison—a
handsome majority of 160 showing
up for the fsiorite son of Clarke.
MARRIED.
A Handsome Young Athenian Leads a Fair
Daughter of Banks to the Altar.
In the Presbyterian church at Mays-
ville, Ga., on July 5th, by Rev. H. F.
Hoyt, pastor of the Presbyterian church,
assisted by by Rev. J. C. Allen, pastor
of the Methodist church, Mr. Jas. T.
Comer, of Athens, Ga., and Miss Margie
B., second daughter of Dr. M. P. Alex
ander, of Maysville, were married.
The church had been handsomely and
tastefully decorated by friends as a
slight token of the high appreciation in
which Miss Margie and her handsome
bridegroom are held. The tastily ar
ranged marriage bell swinging airily
overhead, and the letters C & A grace
fully united, in rear o£ the pulpit, espe
cially attracted your correspondent's at
tention.
As the hour for the ceremony ap
proached the church was rapidly filled
by friends, and it was especially notice
able that all of Miss Margie’s young
friends were there with happy faaes to
greet the occasion, and to render the
event as auspicious and happy for her as
possible.
When the wedding inarch struck two
sweet little girls. Misses Annie Boon and
Lillie Alexander, almost fairy-like in
appearance, w ith their white dresses al
most surrounded with the wreathes and
bouquets, borne as fioral offerings, first
marched up the aisle, followed by the
handsome attendants, Mr. Henry Comer
and Miss Mamie Alexander, Mr. Dan

came the centre of attraction, the* bride

Great excitement preTailed all day
Sunday and yesterday over the tragedy
which occurred near Midway, and one
which never is to be forgotten by those
who attended Sunday School at Hun
ter’s Chapel that day. The place selec
ted by Miss Connelly for the punish
ment of the ‘traducer ox her good name
seems to have been a most peculiar one.
Sunday morning whilst the services of
the Sunday School were being conduc
ted Miss Emma Connelly walked quietly
in and taking her seat directly behind
John A. Steedily, coolly pulled her pis
tol and shot him in the head. He tried
to get his pistol out Retiring to the
door he fell, and died almost immediate
ly. Miss Connelly snapped her pistol
twice, but it failed to fire. When the
pistol was wrenched from her hand she
told the gentleman to he careful with the
pistol, it was cocked. She immediately
walked over to J. B. Hunter, the Trial
J ustico, and said, “I am your prisoner—
I know what I have done.” Miss^Con-
nelly did not seem in the least excited.
Trial Justice Hunter released Miss Con
nelly on her own recognizance, to go to
Barnwell and give herself up. The
cause of the shooting is of course differ
ently told, but a majority of the people
are in sympathy with the woman who
took the life of the man whom she says
villified her good name.
Quite a number were at the depot as
the morning train stopped at Midway to
see the fair slayer leave for Barnwell,
where she has gone to give herself up to
the county authorities to await a trial.
Miss Connelly was accompanied by her
attorney, Mr. Williams, of the firm of
Skinner & Williams, her father, her
brother, and several friends (Mr. Con
nelly, her brother, is in charge of the
entrai Hotel bar here), and the reporter,
not wishing to he too bold, obtained an
interview with Miss Connelly through
her brother.
Miss Connelly is a well-formed young
lady of medium height, with brown eyes
deep set, high cheek bones and sweet,
interesting face, and one to see her seat
ed by her father would not believe that
it had been but twelve hours since she
had taken the life of the man whom she
thought had injured her.
The reporter, on taking his seat by
Miss Connelly, said: “I do not wish to
he impertinent, but do you object to
talking on the subject of yesterday’s
tragedy.”
“I do not,” she quietly replied. “I
have notiling to regret .about it.” She
had simply punished an injury that a
cowardly man had placed on her. She
spoke well of Mr. Steedl ey, with whom,
said she had been on the best of
terms. The two familie s are also on in-
timate terms. Miss Connelly said: “I
killed him because 1 felt it my duty,
and I did not want to put my father or
brother in the position I am now in. My
name, and that's all a w otuan has, has
been villified, and I have wiped out the
stain with the blood of my traducer.”—

receives daily a large number of letters
from all parts of the State, enquiring af

There is about four hundred millions of
dollars involved in this estate, and about
five hundred million of heirs who are in

small, but if it is ever settled it will put
the money in circulation. During this
wet spell, a Jenning’s heir could make
more money chopping cotton at fifty

SURVEYING THE LINE.
Capt. L. W. Roberts, the engineer of
the M. & A. road, passed through Madi
son -yesterday, on his prospective survey,
and, while nothing positive could be
gained from him, still, we feel satisfied
that the road through Madison will be
built, and that this gentleman will make
a favorable report of this line. He was
treated with marked courtesy by our
people, who are deeply enlisted in the
work, and expressed himself as well
pleased with the topography of the
country surrounding Madison. The ed
itor of this paper accompanied him in a
drive over the city, and found that Capt
Roberts thoroughly understands his bus
iness, and besides, is a gentleman of
most agreeable demeanor. The captain
left yesterday morning ever the road be
tween Madison and Monticella. Wo
feel no hesitancy in giving it as ouropin-
ion that the road- through Madison to
Athena, will be built, and that an tarty
day.—Madisonian.
PLAIN BILL TUTT.
The above gentleman, at the earnest
solicitation of Major Bacon's f fiends in
Madison, came up on. the 12 o’clock
Georgia train on Monday last, .- utd drove
over to Danielsville in the evening. Gen.
Gordon had been advertised to spcaL:
yesterday, the day of selection of d<
gates, and Major Bacon’s frien ds desired
the services of this eloquent gentleman
from Augusta, in reply to Gen. Gordon.
Arriving in Danielsville, it wra soon as
certained that Gen. Gordon - would net
be present. Col. Tutt, with chat spirit
of fairness which has charactt trued him
everywhere he has appeared,, immedi
ately advised that there be no speaking,
and that Major Bacon’s friends hold to
the principles which they had advocated.
This was agreed to unanimi tusly, and
Col. Tutt even refused to go into the
court honse. Col. Tutt left mamy friends
in Madison county, who will always re
member his genial manners and his de
sire for fiur play.

Others of equal fanpo stance are on foo-
We never witnessed such a political
scene as in Lexington, Tuesday, and
hope, for the good name of Georgia, and
for the safety of the democratic party, to
never see the like again. M hen we
reached the town,about*J:30 o'clock, we
found it already weil-tilied with people
and ablaze with excitement, and each
minute the crowd was augmented. '1 he
public square was festooned with Gor
don banners, and we were both amused
and disgusted to see the frantic attempts
made by Mr. Reese’s friends to couple
him on to the Gordon boom. It was all
Gordon-lteese, and a man who did not
know the political complexion of the va
rious men in Oglethorpe, would be led
to think that the Reese leaders, instead
of being “reformed” Baconites, wore the
men who hail brought out Gordon and
had labored hardest for his election. The
most conspicuous banner was the one
btought in by the Woodstock delegation
labeled, “Gordon, Reese, Olive, Reese!”
It was kept flaunting in.the faces of the,
crowd, and while til" speaking was going
on stood up in front of the stand. 1 hat
there had been a strong combination
formed against Capt. Carlton any one
oould seen at a glance. Some of the
Bacon men had decided # to yield without
a struggle, and themselves put Gordon
in nomination. This .ve think was the
wisest policy, hut it w as utterly unfair
to Capt. Carlton to try and make him the
victim of the concession, as was being
attempted. We were not long on the
ground before we discovered that a most
unjust and unkind fifelit was being made
by the Reese leaders against Athens, and
every argument and device used that
could influence the voters against our
city and its people. There were hut six
persons present from Athens—and
three of the gentlemen in the interest of
Mr. Reese—and yet the cry was started
that Athens had come down to take
charge of the election, etc., etc. No re
ference, however, was made to the Keese
einisaries from Greene, who were not
only actively working for their candi
date, but took a leaning and conspicuous
part in the proceedings of the day. But
we will do the citizens of Oglethorpe the
justice to say that a large majority o
the good people deprecated such an un
just war against friends and neighbors,
and it was only the Reese leaders who are
responsible for such Conduct. To show
the unfairness and inconsistency of these
politicians, when the 'editor of this pa
per, in search of information, chanced to
get within the space set aside for voters
a great hue and cry was raised again si
him, and yet Mr. Wilson, the ex-inde
pendent member of the legislature from
Greene county, was not only allowed to
remain in the place from which we had
been driven, but headed the Keese col
umn, and seemed to be the General in
coiumai d. We never saw such a trans
parent attempt to override the Carlton
men. After the gubernatorial matter
had been disposed of a rope was stretch
ed so as to give Reese the crowd and the
entrance to the grounds and Carlton's
friends had to separate themselves.
T here was so much noise and confusion
that no one could understand what was
required of them. But finally a ballot
was decided on, and the voting proceed
ed. But for some reason this was brok
en up—we learn by the Kei-se men—and
the crowd then swayed out into the
street, Mr. Haire being forced to close
liis store against the disputing mass.
Boxes were procured and another bal.ot
attempted on the street, hut the crowd
soon overran the polls, and the luana
gers gave up in disgust. In the mean
time the Reese men had been formed into
line by their leaders and marched up and
down the street. After a great deal of
confusion a disorganized crowd collected
o n the street, and then commenced
w.rangle that threatened each instant to
break up in a riot. Capt. Carlton had on
his side four-fifths of the old citizens of
cAe county,, anil they left in disgust,
enaoj of them going home. The Reese
were urged, for the honor of their
coaatf and for the sake of their party to
submit to a primary election, and Carl
ton’s fr.iaa.da would be content to let the
Executive [Committee, just appointed by
Mr. Reese’s, friends, set the time and
place. But ithis fair proposition they
dared not accqpt, for Reese urns losing
strength every .hour and Carlton gaining.
They took do.wu.and put up the chair-
several times, hut he could not
command the crowd, and every motion
was answered by a confusion of yells.
It was at this time that somehow ot
ether John Hurt got possession of a cr.
goods box and some one moved that tilt
chairman appoint Reese de egates. The
proposition was answered by discordant
screams of “yes,” “no,” and no man liv
ing could have told which side was in
the majority. Hart then turned a Rtcs;
delegation. The Carlton men then called
J. Warnock Echols to the box, and
it was moved and carried that he select
a delegation for Carlton, which he did.
The crowd then dispersed, the good,peo
ple on both sides sick and disgusted at
the turn that affairs had taken. The
whole proceedings were irregular, and
ihe only legal action was the few ballots
ivut for Carlton, in accordance. with the
•rder of the meeting. This gives Capt
Ctrl ton Oglethorpe county, and the con
vention will so declare. There is no law

A Washington Editor Takes Exceptions to
Being Thus Classified.
Our friend Smith, of the Washington
Chronicle, thinks we dispensed with that
courtesy due from one editor to another
by speaking of him as “this man Smith.”
It was a rather unfortunate expression,
but we assure you, old boy, that no
harm was intended. Now, had you
borne some unusual cognomen, such as
Fitzdoodle or l’ettybones, or even Jen
kins, wc would have mentioned you as
Col. O’ E.; but you see there is a very
large family of Smiths, and as you are
the most remarkable specimen of the
name we have ever met, we wanted to
particularize you and create the impres
sion tl at you are head and shoulders
above every other Smith on the inhabit
able globe. We give you free leave now
lo pay us back with interest by referring
to the B.-W. editor as “this fellow
Gantt." We won’t take it the least to
heart. But, friend Smith, you grow
a uusingly facetious in charging us with
rying to split the 8th district and paving
the way for an independent candidate.
Why we have spent a goodly portion of
our journa istic career fighting indepen
dence. And the idea of the Washington
hromcle editor saving the district!
Why, he’d have to get down from that
fence he has been astraddle ever since
he has been editing the Chronicle if he
saved even a militia district!

OF NACOOCHEE.
Nacooi-hkk, Ga., July 3.—Editor Ban
ner-Watchman: 1 am sojourning for a
few weeks in this quiet and beautiful
valley, far away from' the clamor and
strife of political factions, which at pres
ent rage in the districts below. There
is seemingly but little excitement on the
subject of politics, the minds of tiie peo
ple being more disturbed oil the bread
and meat question, the crops, owing to
protracted rains, being very unpromis
ing.
On last Thursday morning Mr. Charles
L. Williams, one of the oldest and best
citizens of the Nacoochee, after a brief
illness, passed away, lie had been post
master here for more than half a century
and filled various other offices in church
and state with fidelity and success. He
was buried on Friday, the funeral obse
quies being performed at the Methodist
church, (which was crowded) by Rev
J. Knowles, of Greenesboro, who is here
on a visit to his daughter.
The continuous rains have greatly in
terfered with all industries in this sec
tion, especially mining. They have also
damaged the hotel interest.
The Banner is read with interest. Long
may it triumphantly float in the cause
of principle and the people. Observer.
THE FAIR.
The outlook for the fair is good. The
premiums for trotting and running races
will be much larger than last year, and
many blooded horses from other states

THE BACUH HOUSE.
On invitation, while in Lexington last
Carter jtI lie Amen can.
Friend Crawford: Yours to hand
contents noted. I will give you the
facts as I remember them of the
killing of the Indian Conasoskee,
and it will be necessary for you to
know the cause ol the murder. In
1S37 I was living wheiel now live,
anti owned a very fine race horse,
which I was loth to part with; both
on account of his beauty and speed.
This horse wjs coveted by the
sports of the whole nation, both red
and white men, and inasmuch as I
would not part with the hotse,
the Indians inaugurated a plan to
steal him from me. This plan they
successfully executed. 1 neyer
knew who executed the plan, but 1
do know who inaugurated it.
Tom Woodard was the man that
got or received the horse. They al
so got a work horse that I owned
at the same time. When I found
that my horses had been stolen 1
collected a squad of Indians to help
hunt for them. I got one Indian
who was expert in tracking man or
beast, and I had but little trouble
in following the trail to Ridge's
Valley.
At that time there was an In-
dian town there, and this man
Woodard was chief of the town, and
was a man of some note.
There were also at this time race
pathsjat Tilacoa Plains, wheic con
siderable sporting was indulged in.
We rdn the trail to Oostanaula
river. There I found Woodard ri
ding my work hotse. Ho denied
the stealing and any knowledge of
it. He said the horse strayed to his
house and he was only keeping him
till the owner came for him. I in-
firmed him that I did not believe
his story, and it my horse did not
come his scalp would pay the pen
alty. With these assurances on my
part he made solemn vows that he
would have the horse lor me by a
fixed date, and he succeeded in
making me believe he would do it.
The time came and I was at the
place appointed. Woodard, how
ever, appeared to premise, but there
was no hotse. While talking the
matter over, a half score ol Chero
kee braves skulked out of the
woods near by, dressed in their war
costumes and uainted, with their
guns and other weapons of warfare,
Their intention was to murder me,
but Woodard bad a consultation
with them in their own tongue. I
did not ut derstand much oi this.
They then dispersed and Woodard
then made another proposition, in
which I was to give him three or
four more days to get the horse and
bring him to me at a point near
where I now live. During the
three days that were to elapse I saw
my friend Conasoskee, for a friend
he was. Even to this day I feel a
gratitude toward the poor Red
Man, Conasoskee, who lost his life
in helping me to avenge my ene
mies. Conasoskee and I were at
the place of Woodard appoint
ment on time. Woodard also put
in his appearance, but to my great
dismay, no horse did he bring.
He informed me that it would be
impossible for him to get the horse
as he had been carried beyond his
reach.
Conasokee “and I held a secret
counsel. Conasokee*s plan was to
whip Woodard till he would tell
wtiere the horse was. I was too
glad to act on his suggestion, and
proceeded at once to do it. We
bound him and carried him on the
south side of the Etowah river, and
I whipped him severely, hut he
wouldn’t tell where the horse was.
Conasskee said if I would tie him
on his hack all night, and come to
him next morning with a handful of
switches and tell him I was going
to whip him again, he would tell
me everything he knew.
I did as he advised, and it
worked well. He told me the
horse was in Tennessee, and if I
would spare him he would go and
bring the horse to me. He plead so
earnestly that I could not do other-
se than to give him another
thance.
w I had apprehension at the time
cnat evil wo tld come of it. And
sure enough it did. I kept him
two or three days, until he was
able to travel, and he went. But
my horse never came. He sent an
Indian, or Indians, to murder me.
How long they waylaid and
watched for an opportunity to exe
cute their purpose I know not. But
some time afte.vard I sent Daniel
Stewart to Cassville to make some
purchases, and on his return home
they mistook Stewart for me and
murdered him on the bank of the
river where Capt. Wooley now
lives, and threw his body into the
river. It drifted down and lodged
on a brush near where I lived. I
found the body from seeing the
buzzards collect at it. The body
was badly mutilated. It was al-
most beyond recognition.
• 7 »ot help and buried the body on
the banks of tne river near by the
spot Stewart was a kindsman ol
mine. The next day after the mur
der Conasokee came to see me and
old me he had heard an Indian say
he night before that he killed me
and threw me into the river..
I was then satisfied of Stewart’s
•ate, I do not now remtmber the
same ol the murderer.
Conasoskee volunteered his ser
vices to help hunt down Stewart’s
mnrderer.
Our search was unsuccessful for
get his hunting knife, but beiore he
had procured it, Conasrskee had
plunged bis knife to the hilt in the
hollow of his throat, The blood
spurted several feet high on a tree
near by, and remained there lor
some time afterward.
The Indian sank without a word,
and died instantly.
Conasaskee and I then went to
my house. I gave bird something
to eat. He then left and went to
his own home. He lived where
T- S. Moore; now lives, or near the
spot.
This was a short while before the
Indians were taken up and carried
off. But before they were carried
away, Conasoskee was shot on the
place which Crpt. John F. Harden
now owns. He was brought home
to his father, Conaseenee, on the J.
S. Moore place—it is now the
Moore place. He died in two dr
three days after. Two days after
his death they were all gathered up
and taken ofl.
I never saw Conasoskee any
more alter the ball play, and have
forgot the aame of the man who
murdered Stewart. Woolf was the
game of the man wao killed Coua-
soskee.
The above are the (acts and the
cause of Conasoskoe’s murder.

A TALK WITH MAC’HEN.
Tlte Romantic Manner in Which he Won
his Wife anti Flr3t Congressional Honors.
Bob Taylor, the possible Demo
cratic nominee tor Governor,'is,c
lucky sort of an individnal in more,
ways than one, but particularly so
in a political and matrimonial sens
In December, 1S78, just after ha
election to Congress, he was mar
ried at Asheville, North Carolina,
to Miss Sallie Baird, a beautiful
and highly -cultivated lsdy, the;’
niece of the celebiated Senator and’
Governor, Zeb Vance, of North;
Carolina. The marriage was the
happy consummation of a romantic
love story. When Bob was.nomi-
nated by the Democrats as their
candidate for Congress he was al
ready engaged to be married to
Miss Baird, but the wedding had
been indefinitely postponed. But
to stimulate his ambition and put
him on his mettle his finance prom-
sed him that, if elected, she would
marry him at once; if defeated, it
would be an indefinite time before
their union.could be consummated.
The district in which Bob Tay
lor lives contains some of the
strongest Republican counties in
the State, anti has always given a
Republican majority of at least
.2,500. The prospect for Taylor at
taining his desires, were, therefore -J
not at all promising. Besides, he • ’
had an opponent—Pettibone, an
unusually shrewd Michigander—

the war, and had become one of the

And What He Says About the Covlncton
and Macon Railroad.
Macou Telegraph.
Co!. E. C. Machen, in fine health
and spirits, arrived in Macon yes-
terday from New York.
A Telegraph man at once sought
him, and gleaned from him some
inlormation concerning his road.
“You see,” said he, “our road
goes to Athens. A committee ot
gentlemen from that city, Messrs.
Reaves, Hodgson, Thomas, Jordon
and Barrow called on me at my of
fice in New York, and as they were
business men on a business errand,
it did not require but little time to
fix up matters. The people ot Ath
ens, and by the way, they are a
splendid people, offered me a right
of way from Monticello to Athens,
and $153,000 in subscriptions. I
immediately signed the contract
with them, and now as soon as the
route is settled upon, the Coving-
ton and Macon will enter the Clas
sic City. There are two routes,
one by Social Circle and one by
Madison. The survey by the for-
mer route has been made, and the
engineering corps are now ready to
site their theodolite and stake off
the route. The Athens people are
now hard at work on these two
ways, and all I am waiting for are
the deeds to the right of way.”
“What about a portion of your
road being ironed?”
“Splendid. Go down and look
at it and you will find that there is
no prettier road. We have, I sup
pose, seven or eight miles on the
east side of the river ready for the
cars. The construction engine is
running over this part of the road
now and on Wednesday 1 will have
here in Macon two ot my new
Baldwin engines. There was no
particular need of them just now,
but they were built a little earlier
than I expected, and I will have
them he r e ready for use.”
“What about the bridge being
washed away?”
“Doesn’t amount to a row of pins.
I saw it this morning and I would
contract myself to have it again in
shape for two hundred dollars.
While it was annoying to (he bridge
contractors, their actual loss will be
small. By the latter part of this
week I feel certain the bridge will
be intact again. A le.v carloads of
the iron for the bridge is here and
the balance will quickly follow.”
“How about the Florida exten
sion?”
“Well, I am not able to say a
great deal about that just now
You must wait until 1 get back
frorh New York, which will be in
about two weeks. I can say this
much, howe'ver—I have raised the
money to extend my road into Flor
ida, and I am anxious to make the
extension, but the people along the
line must do their part. I have
told them exactly what they must
do and what I expect of them, and
they will comply I think. I shall
not be able on this flying trip to go
down and see what they have done,
but will do’so when I come again.”
“I am glad,” continued Col.
Machen, “to see that your people
were pleased with the idea ot going
to Athens. I have some other
happy surprises in store for you;
but I am not able to even hint at
just what they are jtist now. You
will see that by my road you will
have the northern mail twelve
hours earlier than you get it now.
It will come by the Richmond and
Danville direct. By the way, let
me correct one of your errors. My
road is not the Richmond and Dan
ville, but an independent line,
though Ido not care much what you
call it. We connect with that
road, that is all.”
And then the Colonel said “good
day,” and began a talk with his civ
il engineer, Col. Frobel.
I
gallantly as was possible, worrying
the Democrats considerably. As |
to Bob Taylor, he entertained seem*
ingly nothing but contempt. Tay
lor’s nomination was a mere acci-
dent—simply a lucky stroke of for* .<1;
tune. In the preceding Republican '
Convention, Bob's brother, Alt
Taylor, a very pronounced Repub
lican, was the principal candidate
for the nomination against Petti-
bone, but the latter, alter a bitter
fight, secured the slice of chicken
pie. AlfTaylors’s friends incon
sequence were considerably dis
gruntled, and the Democrats con
ceived that it # would be a good-
thing to nominate his Democratic
brother, who would probably draw
votes from the Republican ranks.
The plan was carried out. Bob
Taylor was then only 2S years old,
and in addition to his intellectual
ability and fame as an orator had
made considerable reputation and
popularity in that region as a fidd
ler. At a picnic, bran-dance or
break-down be was a most wel
come guest, and could “draw the
hair of the equine across the intes
tine ot the feline” in such popular ,
airs as “Arkamaw Traveller” and
Rock-back Davy” in a manner
that quite laid in the shade those
foreign virtuosi with unpronounce
able names. Consequently Bob
Taylor’s nomination fired the young
women ot his district with enthusi
asm. Number* of Republicans and’
two or three Republican newspa-- -
pers left the party ranks and came
to Bob Taylor’s side. Pettibone
was known to be In with the reve
nue and custom h -use rings which
had controlled that section, and it
was an understood fact that the
Federal hoodie was to be shovveted
on the district. Taylor, as he af
terwards told his friends, had only
five dollars to commence the can
vass with, but once out, money
and assistance of every kind poured
in on him, so that after the cam
paign was over very little of the
five dollars was spent. Pettibone
looked on him with lofty contempt,
and in the openiag speech merely
alluded to him as the “beardless
boy who fiddles.” When it came
to Taylor’s rejoinder, he approached
the table with a fiddle in one hand
and a carpet bag in the other. He
commenced with the statement that
the serious charge had been made
against him that he’ was a fiddler.
Then, laying the fiddle and carpet
bag side by side on the table, he
asked the crowd to choose between
them.
“Men and brethren,” said he,
“why halt ye between two opin
ions? Under which King, Bezoni-
an? Shall it be the reign ot the
carpet-bag or the reign of the fid
dle?”
The effect was electrical. Bob
Taylor had made one of his happi-
esi hits. The point was taken up
and carried from one end of the
'•As*
district to the other, producing any
amount of merriment at Pettibone's
some time. In the meantime there

had been thoroughly plucked of his

never alluded to Taylor’s fiddle but .
once or twice afterward. Taylor
also taunted Pettibone with the
fact that his regiment, at the close
of the war, disbanded with more
men than it had started with. The
young Democrat was a ready, elo
quent speaker, and never failed to
awaken enthusiasm. Frequently
when the speaking was over he
would entertain the crowd with
music from his violin. The dis
trict has its share of moonshiners,
and they, with all their friends,
were for Taylor, as Pettihone was

Murder and Attempt at Suicide.
Monticello, III., July 5.—A
farmer named Wildtnan, residing
in Unity township, this county,
yesterday murdered his wife and
then tried to commit suicide. Be
made several gashes in his throat,
narrowly missing the arteries, and
finding himself still alive he forced
the knife upwards into his mouth,
splitting his tongue. Sometime
since Mrs. Wildman, by the death
of a relative, fell heir to $12,000.
She did not regard her husband as
a proper custodian and so willed it
to their children. The murder
grew out ol these facts. After the'
murder he sent one of his small
children to a neighbor with a mes
sage that his mother was dead and ,
that he (the murderer) could be
lound at the barn. Then be began,
butchering himself in the manner .V
