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 them. So it would be well for the Company to make some provision to notify per sons in vehicles when the cars are near a curve. - It may save some lady’s life and that is enough compensation for the trouble. eided to accept the propositi n made to him by President White, of the Athens EAST ATHENS. 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 t at in all probability ■worthy physician from one of the coun ties in middle Georgia will embark in the drug business, and also practice medicine. This will supply a. long-felt want in that part of the city. It has heretofore been quite an annoyance to the citizens over there to be compelled to come over into this part of the city at night for medicines. This store TAKEN BY A DOG.

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.

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.

The theory advanced by the health officer is that some attache of a medical college brought the subjects here to bleach.
