Mr. John Davison s-Estate a Ktch Plum
in the Courts in Augusta--'. Badly Mat
ter of Law—Irish Re Ire Disputing Some
Points.
Augusta, Oct. 22.—[Special.J The
Yesterday afternoon, about 2 o’clock
one of the saddest accidents it has eTer
been our province to record, occurred at
the new* fair grounds, by which an esti
mable and devoted family is overwhelmed
with grief, and the heart of our entire
city throbs in the deepest sympathy with
them. Early yesterday morning Eddie,
son of Mr. J. H. Reaves, the livery sta
ble man, and Willie Hampton, two bright
and brave little boys about fourteen years
old started, out on a Saturday's hunt.
They both carried double-barrelled guns,
with plenty of ammunition, and were
good shots for boys so young. They
had met with fine success, and had both
their game bags and pockets filled with
birds. About 2 o’clock the young sports
men grew tired and hungry and started
homeward. They were in the field back
of the fair grounds, and as it would re-
3 uire a considerable walk to go around,
ecided to climb the fence, which is of
upright plank, about eight feet high, with
a barbed wire stretched on top. Both
boys were very proud of their success,
and Willie Hampton boasted that he could
tell them at home how he killed birds on
the wing. When the hoys approached
the fence, Eddie Reaves succeeded in
climbing to the top. But a few feet dis
tant several colored carpenters were at
work within the ground, building stalls,
and Hampton halted one of them who
came that way and asked if there was any
place that he could put his dog through
the fence. He was directed by Manuel
Jenkins, one of the carpenters, tea place
about fifty feet distant, where a plank
had been removed, and through which a
man could pass. Hampton leaned his
gun against the fence for Reaves to lift
over, and carried the dog to the opening
to put it through. Eddie Reaves could
he seen by Jenkins, and he was standing
on the top scantling of the fence and
reaching down, caught one gunand care
fully lifting it over, stood it up in a nar
row place between one of the stalls and
the lence. He then reached over and
got the other gun catching it by the
muz/le. In lowering it over the
fence the weapon slipped from
his land, and in fulling, the trigger
atm**k against the lower scantling ex
ploding the weapon, the muzzle
pointing directly at the head of Eddie
| Reaves. The load entered just under his
! ■•bin, carving away the entire lower
i jaw-bone and shattering the oilier, and
then passing into his brain. It was a fear
ful wound, resulting in instant death. At
the time the shot was tired the eyes of
the carpenters at work near was not on
Willie, hut they knew from the deadened
sound that an accident had happened.
In Jling, i idir-s he...: „-r„.~k ihe
bathed wire 01 top ihe fencT.and several
pieces of bone and llesli were found ad
hering to it. He fell within the grounds,
ami in an instant several colored men
rushed to him. He was quite dead, the
lower part of his face being torn «»v\\y.
Willie Hamp'on also started to his
friend, ami on seeing one o; me m*-n
leaning over him asked if Eddie was
hurt. On being told that he was dead,
the little fellow turned as white as a
sheet.
Some one was at once sent for Dr.
Pope, and the messenger scattered
the alarm as he passed through the
street. Soon a number of citizens were
rushing to the scene of the accident, and
among the first to arrive was Mr. James
Reaves, father to the dead lad. In the
meantime, the men had thrown a sheet
over the face of the corpse, to hide the
horrible sight of the wound. Mr. Reaves j
was cautioned by a colored man not to
lift the covering, but he could not real
ize the fact that his boy was dead, and
persisted in so doing, lie was so shock
ed hy the ghastly sight that met his eyes
that he came near falling over on the
dead body. His grief was heart-rending,
as also that of the brothers when they
arrived. As it was clearly an accident,
no coroner’s inquest was deemed neces
sary, and the body placed in a wagon and
carried home. A large number of sym
pathizing friends had assembled, and

INVESTIGATION OP A CLUB’S AF
FAIRS UNDER COVER.
DR. WH. ADAMS.
This well-known divine, who has
scores of admirers in Athens, finished his
work in this city last Tuesday and re
turned to Augusta on Thursday. Dr.
Adams is a native of North Ireland, and
is fifty four years of age. His father
was a thrifty farmer, and up to the great
famine in 1849, the family lived together
and were in good circumstances. This
great visitation scattered the several sons
and was the means of bringing them into
the Presbyterian Church, much to the
satisfaction of the elder Adams, who was
an officer in the Church. Five sons be
came Presbyterian ministers, one of them
subsequently qualifying for pulpit work
although a married man, already with
seven children.
Wm. Adams, one of tho youngest of
the five was placed in charge of a large
congregation in Bristol, England, and his
health giving away, he came to America.
Although receiving several calls when
landed in New York, ho accepted the
smallest of these charges at Canandigua,
New York. Thence he moved to Louis-
ville,and upon the burning of his Church
edifice there, was called to the First
Presbyterian Chuch in Augusta.
What Dr. Adams is as a preacher Ath
ens people know. His sermon at the
University Caminencement was a master
piece, and our people will be glad to know
that he has consented to deliver the com
mencement sermon for Lucy Cobb Insti
tutein.Iune.
He is a man of compact frame, fine.
Hashing, eye and possesses a mind and
body of rare vigor.

ANOTHER ACCIDENT.
Yesterday monning the son of AL
bert Brown, colored, who works
out on the farm of Mr. Stevens
Thomas, three Jor four roi’es from
this city, had the misfortune to shoot
himself with a muzzle-loading gun, just
above the right ear, cutting the coating
ill resist the motion | on the skull hone. What saved the hoy j
from being instantly killed was that the
load glancod and did not take an inward
direction. The boy was in the act of
placing the gun on the side of the steps
when one of the hammers struck it, dis
charging the gun.
Dr. Carlton was immediately sent for
and dressed his wound. He thinks it
quite a serious one, but hopes of his re
covery. His eye is in a very had con
dition, and the Dr. thinks that there are
| severn' shot in it. He is not out of his
j min i, however, and talked rationally af-
, ter the dressing. Young Brown is 12
or 14 years of age,
Lexington, Oct. 21.—[Special.] There
has been very little business transacted
at court up to the present time. The case
of Galaher vs. James M. Smith, suit to
recover lands, occupied the time of the
court for a day and a half. There were
good speeches made on bolh sides of the
case by the lawyers. Mr. Henry Tuck,
of your city, ami Col. J. H. Echols repre
sented Mrs. Galliher. A verdict was re-
I turned in favor of Mr. Smith,

The Roane House has been overun with
customers this week. This is one of the

The newspaper men are numerous, and
a farmer is not allowed to pass without
being importuned to deposit a dollar and

agent thinks he represents the best paper,
and does his best to impress it on the

Lexington claims to be headquarters
for the horse swapping brigade, and from
the number present we think she has a
right to to claim it. There are horse
swappers here from Hall, Habersham and
White counties, with horses that would
not bring three dollars if auctioned off in
Athens.
The farmers claim that the cotton crop
is very short, and that they will not make
near a full crop.
The candidates for county offices are
doing some good work this week.

Last Friday morning at 4 o’clock the
mill house of Mr. J. A. Duncan, in Frank
lin county, was discovered to be on fire.
The usual alarm was given, but before
any one conld reach the place the fire
had such complete sway over this struts
ture that it was consumed without rem
edy, and also the building which protec-
ed the engine was entirely demolished.
Very soon a good many persons collected
at the place of destruction, and by some
of the best management the gin house
was saved, and all that was connected
with it, including several bales of cot
ton, some not ginned. But it was by the
most determined effort, as the gin house
was connected with that of the engine.

The “Salmagundi Club,” aliterw-y-
epicurean organization that flourished
last winter, is dead. _
This simple statement of facts will
bring sorrow to many a heart fondor
chicken salad and oyster stews. The
Salmagundi was cut on in the flower oi
its youth, and its untimely death is still
another evidence of the truth that none
are too young to die. Various causes
have been assigned for its decease. A
well-known lawyer of the city, after an
elaborate review of the case, gave as bis
opinion that the weather was at the
bottom of it. Said he, **It always rained
Salmagundi nights; not one of your gentle
showers so refreshing in early spring,
nor one of your trash-lifters so delightful
in mid-summer; it was not that kind of
a heavenly sprinkle, but it was one of
those cold, misty, dreary pours that goes
steadily on hour after hour, freezing the
life-blood in your veins and causing you
to swear that yoir would die before you
took your hands out of your pockets.
Why, sir; I stood before my front gate
one January night six weary and awful
hours, waiting for some lonely wayfarer
to pass along in order that I might ac
quaint him with the fact that I had no
arms and consequently could not open
that gate. The jury may not look at it
the same way I do, for you know we
have the poorest juries in this county
that you can find anywhere; but mv
honest opinion, after looking in tho evi
dence in the case is that the weather
was at the bottom of it
A distinguished Milledge Avenue resi
dent declared that he had not thought
much about it, but since the matter was
broached he believed it was the chicken
salad. The chicken salad they had at the
Salmagundi meetings was enough to
make a man strike his father. I knew of
one occasion when a very distinguished
and worthy instructor of tho students,
after eating a couple ol dishes—small
amount comparatively for him—on his
return home was obliged to lean against
a lamp-post for support. He was suffer
ing, no doubt; but it so happened that a
party of students passing along that way,
saw him. Well, that was enough; they
made a rush for him, and one of them, a
tall, lanky youth lrom Liberty county,
said commiscratingly, “Trust us, Profes
sor; such things are likely to occur to all
of us; but we are your friends, and if
you will be quiet, lamb-like and kind,
we will take you home.” Well, they
took the poor man up bodily, much
against his will, carried him home and
insisted upon undressing him in the pres
ence of his wife. Next day it was re
ported all over the campus that the pro
fessor was beastly intoxicated.
When he appeared at the next faculty
meeting the Chancellor did not hold out
his hand as was his custom, and his col
leagues looked out the window or kicked
the stove. Of course, he rose to a per
sonal explanation, but it hurt him, hurt
him bad, and when the trustees met this
summer they waited to investigate the
matter, but a very loquacious member of
the body who generally speaks several
weeks on the preamble to a resolution
happened to get the floor. Of couse, the
body now will never reach the main ques
tion, for when they adjourned he still had
the floor, and when they next meet the
floor will still be his, and they they
can’t gag him with the previous question.
So I think the professor is reasonably
safe, but bless your soul, it was an awful
stab at the Salmagundi.
A very worthy gentleman, who has n?
regular business, but looks after things
generally around the house, and comes
down town occasionally, said he had re
ceived an official announcement of the
death of the club. “It did not surprise
me at all,” was his comment, “for I had
long expected it. Indeed I had predict
ed it I told my wife that no club, and I
did not tell her once or twice, but I told
her repeatedly, that no organization
phyical or mental, could stand the oyste
soup they had there—of all the oyster
soup you ever saw, salmagundi soup took
the cake for general depravity. I am a
church roan, and I have attended some of
the most celebrated church fairs in this
country, but the soup served on those oc
casions was regular, old-fashioned, gilt-
edged oyster soup compared to the mud
dy water at the Salmagundi. Well, sir,
I went to twelve meetings, and at six
they had that oyster soup, and out of the
six meetings I only got hold of two oys
ters. You could not find them with a
search warrant. They weren’t there,‘I’ll
just be blessed if they were there. I
know what I am talking about, sir, and I
will just give you my solemn assurance
they were not there.”
“So you think the soup hurt the
club?”
““Think, why, confound it, I kaow it.”
We tried to see some of the officers of
the club to find out what they thought
about it, most of them were out of the
city and the others were reticent .It is
said that if an investigation is made there
will be some ugly disclosures.
One lady, the wife of a worthy citizen,
gave as her opinion that the real and true
reason why the club failed was because
they, the ltdies, were excluded. And
we expect she is about right Theon.

Prohibition In Atlanta*
Atlanta, Oct 18.—A gentleman said
today: “T. Mayson, grocer, will clear
$15,000 from liquor sales up to the day
when his license expires, the 20th of
this month.” Mason’s is the sole quart
license left The prohis say that when
his time is up they will enforce the law
world without end. As the thing now
stands prohibition in Atlanta is a charm
ing burlesque. People can get all the
intoxicating drinks they want. Fifteen
cents worth of mean whisky in milk
shake is the latest popular form. They
call it garric, and a man can get it hy
either making the sign of the cross or
winking with both eyes like a chimpan
zee in glee.

Three Attempt* t* Break Jail In
One Day,
Timmons, the Oconee forger, is an in
exhaustible source from which to derive
local items, and the Bahneu-Watchman
wi[l coptribute liberally toward a monu
ment to his memory when he is hanged.
Whenever we arc hard up for an item we
have but to hunt up Sheritf Weir and
dravr from him the last exploits of Tim
mons. Yesterday morning this officer
came into our sanctum holding in his
hand a file made of a piece of brass hoop
and a perfect jail key formed of a piece
wood taken from a bunk. It is a
most complicated piece of work, and the
only thing it lacked of bc : ng perfect and
unlocking the door was a groove. It is
a mystery how Timmons got his mould
hy which to so exactly form this k< y.
The Sheriff explained that his prisoner
had made three attempts Tuesday to
break jail. He first tried to work out at
the ventilator in nis cell, but Mrs. Weir
heard him, when he stopped. He then
took an nail and began to gouge out the
wood from around the hinges to his cell
door, and had succeeded well when the
Sheriff came in. Mr. Weiratoncebeganto
search aronud to see what was Timmons’
latest experiments, and soon discovered
the brass file made of the barrel hoo]
and the nail that had been used in worl
ng around the door hinges. As he started
out with them Timmons called him back
and handed him the woodon key, with
the remark that be had not as yet found
bis best piece of work. Sheriff Weir
keeps both eyes wide open, and we think
that Timmons will find in him a match.

night alter she had retired a noise attract
ed her attention, and looking out she saw
a negro man stealing wood. As she
threw up the sash he ran, and she fired
her pistol at him. On Friday night,
early, before the moon rose, in passing
through her dining-room she saw the
black face of a large negro man pressed
against a window pane, and when asked
what he was doing there he gritted hit
teeth in reply; but in a few seconds he
was going across the cotton patch as
fast as his legs would carry him. He
ran because Mrs. Lmgle was firing at him
rapidly and dangerously. It is presumed
that neither of the five shots took fatal
effect, but whether the scoundrel was hit
or not, he luts been there no more. Mr.
