Mr. Tyler Cooper, who has been in the field for some weeks past, has published his determination to submit his claims to that committee, and as the mectin; which the appointment of the committee .was determined upon, was a prphib tion meeting especially called to defeat him, it looks like'taking, the hull by the horns. For two days past the antis, who have championed the cause of Cooper, have lieen caucussing and planning and they are prepared for the fight. They have selected the twenty-five antis to he appointed on the Committee of fifty, and they arc all men who will stand liy Ty ler Cooper until the whole thing breaks up. Under the terms of the resolution appointing the committee of fifty it will require thirty-four of the committee to nominate, or thirteen of the prohis to come to Tyler Cooper or thirteen of the antis to abandon him. Both of these are regarded ns impossible contingencies, and there is a probability of a general break up, and the putting of two tickets in tho field, anti and prohi. amendinu the constitution. At -the last election two amend, ments to the State Constitution were sub mitted to* vote of the people. One al lowed Confederate soldiers whose limb* had not been amputated to share in the bounty paid by the State, and the other referred to local legislation simpli fying the system, and a lojving the intro” duction of local bills in the Senate.

The Serious Result el a Cotton Gin Accl- . dent. All yesterday Mr. Tom Lowe, the young non who was so seriously cut in a cotton gin in Oconee county, and had his arm amputated, was lying between life and death. The doctors said it would be a miracle if he recovered. Not a particle of pulse could be (bit, nnd the patient could retain nothing on his stom ach. He had constant Spells of vomit ing and threw up a great deal of blood. He had wonderful nerve, however, aud bore his suffering with heroic fortitude. All the loving aid devoted friends could do was given him, His sisters, Mrs. Hugh, of Mississippi, and Mrs. George, of Madison, Ga., were telegraphed to, and informed that their brother was dan - gerously ill, and there is but little hope of his recovery. This family is devoted to each other, and Mr. Joe Lowe, broth er to the sick man, .with difficulty could be induced to leave his bedside. About -11 o’clock in the morning the young man tor a little while retains} gome nourishment on liis stomach, which was a hopeful sign; but he was soon again taken witn those attacks of vomiting, and bcgaPtiP sink rapidly. He spoke, of the his limb, and remarked that it hard for a young man to be thps crippled, but be could manage somehow to make a living he supposed, but he knew that his uncle Ike would not allow him to suffer so long as he had a dollar. Wo never siw A more patient sufferer. Although the saws of the gin laid bare several nerves, and completely wrenched his elbow around,he complained but little of pain. All yesterday afternoon Tom was asking how long before sundown, and when it would be night, which ques tions are said to be a sure sign of ap proaching dissolution. He was restless and asked to be repeatodly turned orer, and seemed to breathe with difficulty. He complained of thirst, but could re tain nothing on his-stomach.

Aaderaan Telia About Strange Discovery. ■ Yesterday Mr. Anderson was iu the city, and gave a B.-W. reporter an accu rate account of that cave we mentioned several days ago. Mr. Anderson says it is on the farm of Mr. Jim Thompson, and about one mile from Mr. B. B. Wil liams’. The cave, or whatever it is, is in a field, with a branch on each side. The land has been cleared and worn out three times, but the generations who tilled the field and plowed over this sink, had no idea that such a cave was be neath them. It was first discovered by Mr. Thompson himself, his mule's hind feet breaking through the crust To all appearances the earth was as solid and compact there as anywhere else. Mr. Anderson says he has several times vis ited this cave. Mr. Thompson first tried to fill it up by throwing fence-rails and rubbish down the mouth, but they went far out of sight As the mouth kepi en larging, the owner finally built a pen around the hole to keep his stock from falling in. Mr. Anderson says the pit is quite dark, but by stooping for some time orer the abyss and peering into its depth water can be seen at its bottom, while the rush of an underground stream is distinctly heard. The cave is shaped something like a cistern. No one as yet has attempted to explore this singular «tboi4.' it a Af tion, but whether it is the mouth of a cavern or simply a sunken place in the earth has not as yet been revealed. It is cei tainly a singular discovery for this section, and should be investigated.

The mayor pro tem stated that the meeting had been called for the purpose of considering the propriety of aiding the Fair Association in some way. The president of the Association, J udge V. B.

This thing of stopping and pulling'in customers, as is openly practiced and tolerated on Broad street, in the city of Athens, does more to bring reflection on your city than anything else, and is an outrageous nui sance to us country people. Have you no laws to protect us ' Why are they not enforced? Last week I was in Athens with my daughter, and was stopped and my daughter’s sleeve pulled at three times on one block. We were both naturally indignant, but could not afford to raise a disturbance. Such con duct should be broken up and a lesson made of a few perpetrators.

But it is pertinent .to ask: Question 2. Suppose' it he granted that this property is apposite for.the pur pose, can it be placed whol y under the control of the Commissioners? Ans. The answer is yes; as much so as similar property can be, that is located anywhere else. The property of the School of Technology, wherever located, will be vested in the Board of Trustees of the University of Geaagia; and the Commissioners will have as full control of the utilities of the property *!'Athens as they would of similar properties else-',' where. The only difference is that if they themselves should found an insti tution elsowhere, they Could 'select tiro professors in chemistry, physics.

Question 3. Suppose the. Technologi cal School should he engrafted on the University_at Athens, could a schedule of study, recitation and practice he con structed in common for all the depart ments, so that no injustice would be dona to any, and without friction, the inter ests of all be equally subserved? Ans. The answer is yes. . We had the honor of presenting to you for your in spection such schedule. We herewith present to you fonr M. S, drafts of sched ules 1. A copy of that at Worcester, 2. Present schedule of the scientific courses of the University of Georgia; and 3 and 4, detail of proposed schedule. These' will not be made out here,- but will be submitted fo* the inspection of tbe com mission. Tbe schedule furnished is not offered as one that must of necessity be adopted; for it will admit of modifica tion. But we do not hesitate to say that it will compare favorably with that at Worcester.. Indeed, it is superior. Question 4. Should it be located at, Athens, could tbe school count upon the patby and the hearty support of the from continued vomiting. \ Just as we are going to press we learn that Mr. liowe died last night.

Mr. Brittain says that jnst before the war he could have bought all the land lying in front of him and once owned by Major H. S. Hughes at $6 per acre. It new brings from $25 to $100. Cotton in Oolethorpe.—Mr. F. T, Berry, a prominent and successful far mer "near Crawford, was in the city yes terday, and tells us that he will not make more than half a cotton crop, and his prospects are as good as any of his neigh bor’s. Cotton below Antioch is a little better, but over the oounty generally the crop will be short. A severe drought visited this section last summer. V* Negro Women Have a Pitch Haiti Battle, Are Arrested apd Fined, On Sunday night there was a negro rumpus on Thomas street, near the store of O’Fareell & Hodgson. It seems there were two negro women, Jessie Sharp and Lucy Cooper, walking leisurely along with their beaux, when a very along . . - heated , discussion occurred between them. Jessie took a stick out of her fel low’s hand and gave Lucy a terrible lick' on the head, knocking her down. By the time die struck the grit Jessie had her in the collar pnmbting her with her fists. Lucy was perfectly inscnsible for some little time, but finally recovered About this time several police strived at the scene, and all parties were ante*ted. Yesterday they both plead guilty and were fined $4.60 and. cost*. Thi* waa not the end of the case, for warrants were issued for the arrest of both ifomen, bringing (hem before a higher tribunal to answer for graver charges.

This question can he best an swered by quoting from what the Trus tees themselves have aud and done: In July, 1882, the subject was brought Tor the first time to the notice of the Board, in the report of the Chancellor. Their committee on laws Discipline- composed of Chief Justice James Jack- son, Chairman. Judge Hall, Col. Billups, Col. McIntyre, Gen. Lawton and Col. Yancey—reported the following Resolu tion, which was unanimously adopted: Resolved, That the Report in respect to the practical department of Technolo gy is approved; and that the same be . carried into operation just as soon as the State shall appropriate the money neces- —and teat the Chancellor be in- icted to lay.the plan before the next ernor and-Legislature, and urge the necessary appropriation,” (Records, p. 348.)

Painful Accident to Mr. Tom Loan in Qconee County. Mr. Tom Lowe, a nephew of Mr. Ike Lowe, of this city, and brother of Mr. John Lowe, was seriously injured near Hi|h Shoals, in Oconee county, late Sat urday afternoon. He was ginning cotton and had raised the breast of the gin to ick out some cotton. In running his land beneath tit, his forefinger was caught, when his hand and arm were swiftly drawn beneath. Fortunately for Mr. Lowe, the breast of the gin fell upon him and prevented his body from being drawn beneath the whirling saws. His arm encircling the gin clogged it so as to stop the machinery and break the shaft. The arm was badly flayed of flesh, leaders and muscle, but no bones were broken. Dr. Wade was sent for and dressed the wound, and yesterday the wounded man was .brought to town on a mattress, and arrived mnch exhausted. He will have constant attention here, however, and we' hope will soon recover. A Barometer.—Capt Duchette, of the water works, yesterday remarked that it would rain before twelve hours; that the best barometer he ever saw was his boilers at the pump house; that whenever rain was coming they sweated so he could scarcely keep' water in them Yesterday they were saturated with dampness that soaked from within. Timmons Quiet.—Timmons has been sent to Ocones jail. Sheriff Overby had an iron ring and heavy chain placed around his neck, that at once cowed Timmons, and he told the sheriff that if he would remove them that he would not again attempt to break jail while under his charge. The shackles, on this promise, were taken off. To-day a spe cial term of court will be held at Wat- kitisville. ■ore Railroad Talk—Elberton Merchant* Complaining—A Generous Church Offer— A Fine urop. [Elberton Gazette.) Mr. Thornes H. Brener is dangerously ill at his home in the upper part of this county. Mrs. I. G. Hudson, of Winterville, Ga., is visiting her sister, Mrs. B. II. Braswell. The people of Washington are propo sing to build a railroad from that town to Elberton. Somo people think that we have not reached the bottom of hard times yet, and that next year will be one of the hardest that we have ever seen in this country. Our merchants complain of a discrimi nation in freights against them in cotton as compared with other markets. While we have a guarantee of through rates here, and as low rates as any other mar ket in the State, it is claimed that Athens and other places get a rebate of about thirty-three per cent, which enables them to pay better prices. Mr. John W. Etnridge, who has been in Charleston for the last six weeks, helping to repair the wrecks of the recent earthqnake, returned home on Friday last. He gives a gloomy account of the destruction of property and the suffering of the people there, and says the ac- eountt-ofMfta published in the newspa pers were not in the least overdrawn. The Methodists of Elberton are talking of building a ten thousand dollar church. We learn that T. M. Swift proposes to furnish the brick necessary to build it and one thousand dollars in money. Al so that the Messrs. Smith Bros, will give one thousand dollars. The present church is entirely too small to accommo date the congregations on the Sabbath. Mr. A. 0. Harper, of this county, has a field of cotton, containing thirty-nine and one-eighth acres from which he has already picked something over 26,600 pounds. He says he is confident that he will get thirty bales altogether, as there is a considerable amount of cotton now open in the field, and a great deal more yet to open. He cultivated this field with one horse, and nsed about two hun dred pounds of Cotton-Seed Compound per acre. This field is common up-land, and most of it has been in cultivation about ten years. The Banneb-Watchman has no war to make on Mr. Mark Hnrlin, who has been clerk of the last three houses in the Georgia Legislature. So far as we know he has made a good officer and proven : n accommodating ope. We do not sec any reason why 1 o should be continued in this position however, by public act. There is Vi law binding successive legislatures to sc« core for the same man the secretaryship of the house, when other men equally competent and more deserving, are named for the place. The Banner-Watchman and many of the representatives from this section of the State take this view of the matter _ and are favorable to the election of Mr. J. Cooper Nisbet, of Dade! county. , Mr Nisbet has been a democrat from- his, - young manhood. His great kinsman, Eugenius A. Nisbet, was a Democrat be fore him, and there has been no such thing as flinching or fluctuating in that :ood old stock. The record of Cooper Nisbet in the army showed the stuff be was made of, and his devotion to the principles of the party since that time, has not been weakened by a single alli ance with Republicanism or a single waver with independentism. He was elected Secretary of the Constitutional Convention in 1877, and has in several ways rendered gallant, conspicuous and faithful service to the State, The people iu Northeast Georgia are rather in accord with those of North - west Georgia in this matter—and the man from the gable-end of the State will have a good support from this section. For Clerk of the House, J. Cooper Nisbet, of Dade! GREENVILLE, S- C. Tbe Marion Home Under Meaira. Gatea tc MARRIED IN ATHENS. Yesterday afternoon a quiet marriage ceremony was performed in Athens hv which Mr. Phillip E. Clarke, of Augusta, and Miss Eugenia Richardson, of Athens, were-united in holy bonds. The officia ting minister was Bev. Simon Peter Rich ardson, presiding elder in the Methodist Church, and the bride was his own love ly and accomplished daughter. A few witnessed the marriage at the house of the bride, and immediately af terward Mr. and Mrs. Clarke left for Augusta on the fast train. That city, where the latter is already well known and has hosts of friends, will be the home of the newly married pair. Mr. Clarke is a popular an 1 skilful young drug gist and his friends at home are legion. He is one of the favorite officers of the Clarke Light Infantry, the crack military company of Augusta. Best wishes attend the pair. THE CITY OF MADISON. Kailro&d Items and the Cotton Crop. [tfacisoniau.] Th railroad committee met again yes* terday, at the appointed time and deci ded upon the route of survey on the east of the city. Let all our people harmon ize on one route. The Jasper County News put out its biggest rooster this week to announce the certainty of the Macon and Athens railroad. The chanticleer lustily sings out, all aboard for Athens. We regret to leani that there is likely some litigation to obtain, because of the selected route ef the railroad through Madison, several private residence lots being split wide open, to which they will most severely object, Our streets are tilled from early morn to dewy eve with cotton wagons. The fall has been exceptionally favorable for pulling in the staple, and it has been utilized. In two weeks nearly all of the orop will have been housed. From a letter in the Augusta Chroni cle from Greenville, S. C., we clip the fol lowing description of the Marion House, now under the charge of Mr. A. A. Gates, formerly of the Lula Junction Hotel. Mr. Gates i$ one of the best Hotel men in the South, and Greenville has certain ly cause for congratulation over securing so noble an addition to her population. The following is the extract from the Chronicle letter: “But the greatest work is being done on the Mansion House. In some way, Hon. T. M. Avery, of Chicago, III., pres ident of the Elgin Watch Company, be came interested in this piece of property, and visiting the city, he, with his usual* business sagacity and foresight, instantly recognized that a large, first-class hotel in growing Greenville would prove a pro fitable investment, and immediately com menced the work of repair and equip ment. The house is being remodeled and improved inf every department, and when completed will prove one of the finest hotels in the South. This is writ ten after a thorough inspection of the building and the work now being done. The hotel will contain sixty-eight large and commodious rooms, furnished with the best of bedding and new and com fortable furniture; and supplied with all modem comforts and accommodations. Electric bells, gas, elevatora, water, etc., are being provided, the gas being manu factured by the management. The dining room and culinary department are not surpassed anywhere. Competent cooks have been brought from Chicago, and the competency of the surrounding market to provide the best table fare and most toothsome delicacies is acknowledged. Bar, barber shop, billiards, pool, bath rooms, etc., etc., together with a large and well equipped stable, are new ad juncts. Polite and courteous attention is accorded. Twenty thousand dollars have been invested in remodeling this house. It, when completed, will stand without a superior anywhere in the South.” Atlanta Mayoralty.—The citizens 1 meeting in Atlanta Friday evening to agree upon a candidate for Mayor did not agree. The prohis and antis appointed committees of 25 each to »gree upon a suitable candidate. Messrs. Jno. Trier Cooper and Tom Glenn are spoken of as candidates by the antis and prohis. An agreement is not probable. Judoe A. L. Mitchell.—This gentle man has never retired from the practice of law, on account of the Auditorship of the Southern Mutual Insurance Com pany, but is now devoting his entire time to-his practice. Judge Mitchell is one of the ablest and best lawyers in Northeast Georgia, and is a safe and reliable man. Those having litigations wouln do well to consult him. amputation. The Arm of nr. Thaa. F. Loire Am* putated Yesterday. Yesterday at two o’clock tile attending physicians decided that the lacerated arm of Mr. Thos. F.

The operation was successful in spite of the fearful bruisesAOCgashes, but the pa tient was left MaKhauseated from the -kin. A Goon Move.—The Knights of Labor have sanctioned a movement in behalf of the working woman that should have the active support of every woman in the Union. Tho system of injustice prac ticed by persons who employ women at wages less than are paid to men for the same kind of work should be discourag ed until everywhere it is put an end to. “The same wages for the same work” should be the demand of women every where. effects of the <d3drq*prm.

Tbe Gable End to the Front Ayala Tbe coming hot content for the clerk ship of the r.ext House of Representa tives recalls the similarly exciting race for this office, which enlivened the Con vention of ‘77. Col. \Vm. Haris, (who bo it said" was never before nor since, de feated)—the candidate of the Atlanta Constitution—met with an opposition, which was summed up by the Constitu tion, in a careless line, to the effect that “a man from the gable-end of the State was believed to be a candidate.” This naturally left the people unpre pared for the overwhelming victory of Col. J. Cooper Nisbet, over his popular opponent; and for Col. Nisbet's election to the Secretaryship of tho Constitution al Convention. A recent communication to tho Atlanta constitution, mentioning that “the friends of Mr. Hardin feel no fears of his defeat,” suggests that “the gable-end of the State” is again to the front, and things look ominous for the hoariest office-holder who ever numbered his decades as a “pap-sucker,” when a man of such brain, soldierly character and onerous heart, connected by ties of Hood and comradeship from the moun tains to the salt-marshes, in a word, Coeper Nisbet, takes the field. “The wire-grass” wheeled into line, to support “Tbe gable end of the State, before, and will again!

The local churches have already begun preparations for the reception of this body.

Other denominations have offered their aid.in this matter to their Methodist brethren. —Augusta Chronicle. CRAWFORD, GA. Tbs Resignation of Protestor J. p. Cheney.

In an important Railroad meeting held in Augusty, The Port Royal and Augusta Railroad Company consented to tho ab- / rogation of the lease of tho Augusta and Knoxville Railroad Company, which was accepted by the latter. Then tho Au gusta and Knoxville Railroad Company entered into a compact with the Green wood, Laurens and Spartanburg Railroad Company, the Greenville and Laurens Railroad Company, the Savannah Valley Railroad Company and the Port Royal and Augusta Railroad Company, to consoli date under the name above stated. The capital stock of the company will be two million preferred stock, twenty thousand shares at $100 each, four million common stock, forty thousand shares, $100 each. The plan contemplates an exchange of - the Augusta and Knoxville stock for the consolidated six per cent, bonds of new company at $17 per share of the stock of this company with the right of the holder to demand bonds or money as ho may elect. The consolidation will give the roads financial strength and reduce the expense for operating the same. Presi dent Raoul, says the Augusta Chonicle, is active and busily engaged, and does not seem disturbed over the rumors of change in the Central management.

Adams’ express car, attached— feq'f" passenger train on the St Louis and San Francisco railroad, which left Monday night, was robbed of over $50,000 in cash, between St Louis and Pacific, Mo. it appears that before the train left the former city a man, who gave the name of Cummings, presented to Messenger Frothcringham, a cleverly forged letter, a fac simile of Barrett the local agent of the express company at St Louis. The letter stated that Barrett had decided to put an extra man on the route, that the bearer was he, and that Frothingham was directed to teach him the details of the business. A Bol. Smith Talks About His Grading—Qln House Burned. [BfadUonlan.] Col. J. M. Smith, contractor for build ing our new railroad, was in the city yes terday on his return to the camps from his home in Oglethorpe. The jovial Colonel appeared to bo in excellent good spirits, and reports satisfactory progress with his work. He expects to be able to change base with his convicts in two months, by which time he will have com pleted all of the heavy work on this end of the road. \Ve learn with regret that the ginnery and contents of Capt .1. T. Wood, were destroyed by fire Sunday morning. As tne burning occurred about 3 o’clock* in the morning, the work was that of a das tardly incendiary who owed Capt Wood Wood a grudge. The cotton, we learn, belonged to Messrs. Callahan and the larger quantity belonging to the for mer, and is estimated at ten bales or more. Mr. Callahan being a poor man the loss is exceptionally heavy and we sincerely sympathize with him in his misfortune. ONE OF MANY. Minister Cox thinks that France, Tur key and Russia have made an alliance for the purpose of ousting England out where she has no more right than' Russia has to Bulgaria. There may be something in this. But he cannot see how, under any circumstances, Turkey can afford to permit Russia to'eross the Balkans, or make to her tho concessions stated in recent dispatches. Hon. L. F. Garrard and Henry H. R Goetchieus, Esq., of Columbus, have compiled the road laws of the State of Georgia into a convenient hand-book, of which the fifth edition is just from the press. The edition contains every amend ment of the road laws to the present date, and also every decision of the Su preme Court on the statutes regulating roads and bridges up to the present time.

How a Cobbham Citizen was Be sieged by a Voter* A gentleman from Cobbham was in our office yesterday, and gave us his ex perience with a suffrage-seller. He was last Saturday called out on his piazza by a high, black negro man, well dressed. 'I he gentleman asked his business. “Well, Boss,” was the reply, “I sees you got company now and will call again.” “Tell me your business now,” rjmark- ed the gentleman. “Well, Boss, you come down here, for I muss talk low. You see 1 is. working for one of your frens, and must hab some money. Can’t you get me five dollars now?” The voter was told by this gentleman that he had better use for his funds than to scatter them among a lot of corrupt vagrants, and summarily dismissed him.

Messrs. Childs &JNickerson one-fourth of all the gold he gets for rent This mine was paying handsomely, and the reasons for leasing are that a great many petty and annoying lawsuits had been brought, that are settled in the trade, and then Col.
