but the animal had fully determined to
run and run he did.
The horse ran rapidly towards Dr. J
C. Orr’s residence and on that corner
ran the wagon against a tree.
The body of tbe wagon was lifted
clear out and fell to tbe ground while
the man and bis wife were dashed head
long to the sidewalk. Mrs. Wood fell
upon her side and for a while was very
painfully hurt.
Mr. Wood was thrown upon his
right shoulder and face and for a few
minutes was unconscious.
The people who ran toward the scene
of the accident soon preceived that Mr
Wood was badly hurt. The blood was
running from half a dozen oats across
his face and he was in great pain.
Medical assistance was at once sum
moned and the physicians soon arrived
upon the ground. Dr. T. J. Heard was
the first and Dr. Benedict arrived a
few minutes later.
They examined Mrs. Wood and
found that she had sustained a slight
shock but was otherwise unhurt.
Mr. Wood was then placed on the
grass inside of Dr. Orr’s yard and was
subjected to an examination.
It was found that his collar hone
had been broken in several pieces near
the right shoulder. Bandages were
placed around the wounded member
and late yesterday afternoon the bones
were set.
Outside of this, Mr. Wood, sustain
ed no serious'injuries. His face was
badly scratched by the fall upon the
hard ground.
He will be laid up for about two or
three weeks from the injuries sustain
ed.
This accident suggests an idea that
the managers of the electric
line should consider well. The cars
coming noiselessly around a curve and
dashing suddenly upon the sight of the
horses, the chances are that runaways
will occur that may cause loss of life.
It would be well for the Company to
put hells upon their cars that should be
rung loudly as each car rounds a curve
in order that everybody might be put
on notice that the car was coming,
The Electric cars are new things in this
city, and the horses are not yet used to

to make some provision to notify per

The Wonderful Progress of this Part
of the City.
a Banner reporter rambled over a
portion of this part of Athens quite
recently, and was surprised to see the
wonderful improvements which are
daily going on, Oconee street now
rescues almost to Carr’s branch, and all
along on either side new and tastv cot
tages are being put up. Many of our
worthy mechanics have cosy and desira
bio "homes along this street, and it is be
ing built up very rapidly. And thi«
street is only an example of what is be
ing done in every section of
East Athens And some
homes have been . erected
in the neighborhood of the 2nd Baptist
church by many of our worthy citizens,
and the unsightly fields which this lo
cality presented a few years ago, now
furnished happy homes for numerous
families. Tbe same remark applets
with equal force to the little groop of
homes in the "vicinity of East Athens
Methodist church. On Oconee street a
new brick store is now being erected,
which is to be used as a first-class drug
store at an early day, and we hear

A DESTRCUTIVE FIRE.
Columbus, Ind., June 29.—Recently, |
at St. Paul, was witnessed a strange
scene—that of a dog committing suicide.
The dog, a large white one, was stand
ing in the middle of the Big Four Rail
road track on the Flatrock River Bridge,
and a freight train was rapidly approach
ing, but the dog lay down flat on his
belly and the train passed over Aim,
when he got up and trotted away. He
soon returned, when another train came
and found him standing facing it, in
the center of the same bridge, bnt again
lay flat down on his belly and let the
train pass over him.
Again the dog rose np, and, after look
ing around, trdrted away, but soon
came back, and, going ont on the bridge,
made a spring and a leap directly at the
wing wall of one of the abutments,
which he struck with such force as to
flush out^ his brains by crushing in his
skull.
The dog’s peculiar actions were
watched with interrat by several men
working near by, and it seemed as tf toe
dog deliberately contemplated suicide.
George Washington Will Hangf.
Atlanta, June 29.—George Washing
ton will be hanged next Faiday—that I
seems certain. A call npon Governor
Northen developed the fact that noth
ing had occurred up to this time to
change the view which he held Satur-
duv. He was disinclined then to con
sider the question of a respite, and man
ifested no disposition to interfere in the
matter.
Indeed it is safe to say that there will
be no interference on the part of the
Governor to whom, as yet, no good rea
son has been presented only the majesty
of the law should be put aside'by a ne- ]
gro jamboree.

For several days complaints have been
made to the health. officers and to the
Deering street police by residents in the
vicinity of Archer avenue and Hough
place, who asserted a nuisance of most
aggravated form made life almost unen
durable. Investigation was made by
both departments, bnt without locating
he trouble. Later the mystery was
solved. Several boys found near the
corner a human skull and several thigh
bones, bleached white. The lads told
the first policeman they met of then
discovery, and he notified the health
officers.
Dr. Ware, with several assistants,
visited the scene and made a more
thorough search than,had before been
made. A bad odor was detected from
Scheman’8 old ice house, on the comer.
The searchers ripped up a part of the
floor and were horrified to find rows ot
skeletons, to some of which shreds of
flesh still clnng. Who placed them
there is not known, and the authorities
will make every effort to find the guilty I-
persons.
The theory advanced by the health
officer is that some attache of a medical
college brought the subjects here to
bleach. The bones were allowed to re
main in the building until the matter
can be more folly investigated.
