A COOL MILLION 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 SALMAGUNDI SOUP. 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. WE ARE HOLDING THE FIELD ALONE! IN OGLETHORPE.

This was one of the saddest accidents that has < ver occurred in our city. 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, j Mr. Tern M oReley, of Daniels ville, af ter passing a splendid examination, was admitted to the bar. Mr. Moseley has been under the tutorship of Col. 1). W. Meadow for the past six months, and from the way he answered the questions S ut to him by the different lawyers, re acts great credit on his teacher. The firm will now be Meadow & Moseley, and a good doable team they will make. Lexington is blessed with several splendid lawyers, who have already rn&da their mark. The Roane House has been overun with customers this week. This is one of the best kept hotels in the country. The newspaper men are numerous, and a farmer is not allowed to pass without being importuned to deposit a dollar and take the best paper in Georgia. Every agent thinks he represents the best paper, and does his best to impress it on the crowd. 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. We learn that an old fued that has been existing between two prominent citizen s of the county for several years h is at last been settled, and they will make friends.

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.

Llfllaf theTepFrom l ^*® e **^ ® f m Pet Orfaaliallon-^^f 111 "t Wo more and Cannot Bewire. . 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.

After that time very bard feeling existed between the two gentlemen, anil at every political contest they were always found on opposing sides.

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. Texan' Cotton Crop.

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. The Constitution assures the people of Georgia that it will take care of the School of Technology.

It was seen in time, however, and prompt efforts succeeded in putting out the fire. The Captain had considerable cotton stored in the house. In a conversation with Hon. Jas.

THE MILLS RESUME. JACKSON COUNTY- 0fi9 Amsterdam Knit Goodi Mannf&cturere Hava All the Non-Union Banda They Can Em ploy. Amstkrdam.N. Y., Oct lfi.—A reporter of the United Tress this morning took a tour among the mills whose proprietors are members of the Manufacturers’ Associa tion. Mayor Kline, of Kline & Hubbs, said: “We started this morning witli our mill filled in every department with non union help. We received twenty-five ap- ilications for work which we were ob- iged to reject not having any more room. All our help either have withdrawn or never belonged to the Knights of Labor. No Knights applied for work.” Kline & Hubbs employ about one hun dred persons. Warner, DeForrest & Co. turned away about twenty-five. All of the help are non-unionists. The firm have received applications from some Knights of Labor who were unable to get withdrawal cards. Thomas & Pet- tingill have about thirty hands at work, and have no room for more at present At a!l the nther mills the same state of affairs exists. All say they have enough men, and think things look encouraging for the manufacturers. I Excitement In Texas Great excitement has been caused in the vicinity of Paris, Tex, by the remark able recovery of Mr. J. E.

There was an exhibition of woman’s pluck Friday night last Mrs. J. C. Lin- gle made a prowling negro “tote the mail” away from her premises. On Thursday 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. Lingle was away from home at the time, and the man doubtless thought the ladies were at chntch. Marshal Wayne looked into the case, and Dennis Branch, because he suited Mrs. Lingte’s description, was arrested and taken to her hoqsc..

Smith’s gin, the other day. Last week many farmers from Hall passed along the old Federal road on their way to Athens to sell cotton. We learn that Prof, Quillain will leave Harmony Grove. Then there is a good position offered his successor. Will it not be strange if the very rock on which Jim McNeal was murdered should compose part of the prison walls that may confine his slayer ? While Mr. S. H. Higgins was on his way to Athens with a load of cotton, the other day, it caught fire and was consid erable trouble to extinguish. Whitehead and Appleby had four hales of cotton very much damaged by fire, while on their way to Athens, last week. It is supposed the fire originated from the igniting of a match in the bottom of the wagon. Mr. W. B. Barnett, whose hand was so badly crushed at Athens a short time since, is not doing so well as his friends would wish. We are informed that his crushed hand is gradually sloughing away, and that his entire arm is consider ably swollen. 7 A little colored child was found dead in its bed on the plantation of Mr. J. B. Hancock, last Wednesday morning. It is supposed to have been smothered or crushed to death while both were asleep. No inquest was held over the remains. George Watson, colored, thrust his hands under the gin at Thompson's mills and extinguished afire which had started in the mote box. He placed his hands so near the saws that they were slightly scratched. If George had been in the seed room at the time the house would l have been burned up. T. S.
