What Is Going on In East Athens.
The street hands are doing some
much needed work on our streets.
We are informed by the contractor
that work will commence on our bridge
iu two weeks.
Mrs. M. C. Adams lost a very fine cow
by its falling into a very deep ditch. It
was dead when found.
^Twelve o’clock yesterday.
As the hands of the o’clock came to
gether on that point of the dial, Judge
Herrington dipped his pen in the ink
bottle and signed his name across a pa
per lying on tbe Jtable before him.
It was the official announcement of
the result of th« prohibition election
held last Thursday. *
And it declared that the county had
gone for prohibition by a majority of
eleven.
And that ended the fight.
Ordinary Herrington .had refrained
from declaring the election until yester
day at the request of the anti-probibi
tionists because there . had
been some talk among them about
contest.
The validity of the votes of those
parties who bad registered on Monday
after the day announced for the closing
of the registry lists had been question
ed, and a little time was wanted for
discussion.
The leaders of the party were(oppos:d
to the contest, and at tbe meeting on
Monday it was decided not to contest
the election.
Some how or other the news reached
the Atlanta Constitution that there had
been a meeting at which it had been de
cided to contest tbe election and that
Messrs Pope Barrow and W. B Bur
nett had counseled and
advised and spoken
iu'favor of a contest.
From the very outset, since the bal
lot box closed, both of these gentlemen
have ontspokeo against snch a course.
At the meeting it was decided not to
contest and the Ordinary was so noti
fied.
And now peace reigns in every cor
ner of Athens and Clarke County.
The people have little to say on the
subject of prohibition, for they are now
busy in their work for (he upbuilding
of Athens.
The Athens Manufacturing Company
has placed a pair of rock steps to the
check factory which adds very much to
the appearance of the building.

DIED OF HEART DISEASE,
And Was Burled In Potter’* Field as an
Unknown.
Dayton, O..July 7.—Henry Hollman,
ag$l 68 years, prominent man of Wapa-
feoneta, Q., came here to spend the
Fourth with his daughter, Mrs. Frank
A. Lei ter, and family.
In strolling around he stopped in
Fiessmen’s saloon, where, after drink
ing, he was given a place to sleep over
night. He could not speak English, and
the barkeeper did not know him or pay
much attention to his talk, as he paid
for what he got.
Afterwards Hollman was around the
saloon, and suddenly died from heart
disease. He had f iOO in his pockets, but
he could not be identified, and by order
of Coroner Myers the body was buried
in Potter’s field.
3y accident, Hollman’s son-in-law,
iter, who works in the cemetery
heard of the interment of the unknown,
and a little investigation made certain
that the body was that of his wife’s
father.' The deceased’s son, who lives
at Wapakoneta, was telegraphed for,
and the body was exhumed and fully
identified. It was taken to Wapakoneta
for final interment.

Athens will give to the farmers who
assemble here at the grand rally on the
16th inst. a royal and enthusiastic ova
tion.
Mayor Brown’s call yesterday morn
ing brought out quite a number of pro
gressive citizens -who met at the Coun
cil Chamber at 10 o’clock. Mayor E.
T, Brown called the meeting to order
and Mr. T. W. Reed was made secreta
ry.
The object of the meeting was an
nounced to be in the interest of devising
ways and means of entertaining the
farmers at their grand rally to be held
here next week.
Messrs. A. F. Pope and T. L. Gantt,
two prominent Alliancemen, were pre
sent, and made short speeches when
called for by the meeting.
They stated that a very large crowd,
ranging from eight to twenty thousand
people would be in Athens on the 16th
aud that any efforts on the part of Ath
ens to make their rally a success
would be highly appreciated.
The meeting got down to dusiness at
once.
It was decided that the meeting
should be held on the Campus of the
University qf Georgia. Dr. Boggs had
kindly offered the campus to the far
mers and it was considered the best
place iu the city for the gathering.
The Gospel Tent will be moved over
on the ball ground and the crowd can
be seated under the tent and down in
the grove next to Lumpkin street.
The work of appointing the
different committees was the next
thing in order.
The committee on Ways and Means
was appointed. It consisted of J. J.
McMahan, Chairman, W. D. O’Far
rell, A. R. Hodgson, John Crawford,
C. G. Talmadge, Moses Myers .
The committee on arrangements is
made up of John N. Booth, Chairman,
E. R. Hodgson, W. F. Dorsey, J. S.
King, C. J. O’Farrell, and E. 1. Smith.
The Committee on baskets aiul din
ner is J. M. Hodgson, Chairman, W. A.
McDowell. C. A. Scudder, E. D. New
ton, Charles I. Mell, DTP. Haselton,
and W. A. Jester.
A committee on transpor
tation was appointed consisting of
W. C. Orr, Chairman, E. K. Lump
kin, and A. E. Griffith.
The reception committee was made
to consist of a very large number of
citizens since the crowd will be such a
large one as to render it neoessary for
a great many citizens to look after
their comfort and entertainment.
It is , made up of
T. L. Gautt. Chairman, Mayor and
Council of Athens, City and County
officers.
Hon. W. J. Moiton, Dr. W. E. Boggs,
W. B. Burnett, Judge A. S. Erwin,

The meeting then resolved that it
would secure the service of an elegant
band for the occasion and that the re
ception committee would meet the dis
tinguished orators and speakers of the
Alliance and escort them to the hotels
It was stated that the farmers will
bring basket dinners with them and the
meeting resolved to snpplement these
with baskets of food to be secured by a
Basket Committee which was appointed
Every citizen who can do so is urged to
furnish something to this committee
and to send in their names and what
they can . give so that
the committee may be able to know
exactly what is needed to be done.
The committees wifi see to it that an
abundance of ice water and lemonade
is on hand for the crowd.
A HIDE! ABOUND THE CIRCLE.
It is proposed if it be practicable to
charter the eleecric cars for the day and
give each farmer guest a ride around
the circle in order that he may see the
city aud what it is.
The committee on transportation will
see Mr Voss about this and will also
co-operate with tbe Alliance commit
tee in securing low rates on tbe rail
roads.
It is highly probable that the Geor
gia Carolina and Northern railroad will
run an excursion train to the edge of
tbe Oconee riier on that day.
Mayor E. T. Brown will deliver the
address of welcome on the part of the
city. • • *
It will be a gala day for Athens She
will open wide the gates of her unhoun
ded hospitality, and bid the farmers en
ter in.
Athens is moving in the right spirit
now. Let every citizen deem it not on-
I ly a duty hut a pleasure to aid the com
mittee in their work and make the 10th
day of July, 1891, a day memorable in
1 the history oi Athens.
The citizens of Athens were some
what surprised to read in an interview
in the Atlanta Constitution of yester
day a statement that Hon. W. J. Mor
ton, the representative from Clarke,
had resigned his seat in the legislature.
The Banner reporter, refusing to be
lieve such to be thetrue state of af
fairs, sought Col. Morton at once to
learn from him all about the reported
resignation.
“Why, of course, I have not resigned
my seat,” said Col. Morton. “I do
not see any reason why I should do so.
The county choBe me to represent
her and I am going to be on hand until
my term of office expires,
The recent contest over prohibition re
sulted in a Victory for the dry men upon
dispensary system. All we were con
tending for was the best restriction of
the liquorjtraffic. The dispensary will be
given a fair showing and i6 will then be
determined whether or not it solves the
question.”
Col. Morton was preparing to leave
the city when seen by the Banneb re
porter. He will answer to his name
this morning when the House of Rep
resentatives is called to order by Speak*
er Howell.
Mr. Morton will attend the summer
session of the General Assembly and
will pass several local bills before he
will return.
He will serve bis county as repre
sentative until his term expires, and
have not made op his mind to resign his
seat in the legislature, as stated in the
Constitution yesterday.

The Senators aud Representatives are
coming in rapidly, and all day yester

with groups of these state Representa
tives engaged iu general discussion up
on the duties before them.
Hand shaking was in order, and right
heartily were the greetings on all sides.
Speaker Clarke Howell was among
them, shaking hands on
all sides with the
members who have returned. Nearly
all of them are here now, and the rest
will n .ome iu to-night or on the early
morning train.
Hon. Bill Harris, clerk of the Senate,

The Irish Roman Catholic bishops, at
the meeting held at Dublin, reaffirmed
their former declaration that Parnell is
unfit to be the leader of the Irish people;
that he is unworthy of the confidence of
the Roman Catholics, mid call upon
Irishmen to repudiate him.
The revolution which broke out in
3atamarca, as announced on 'Thursday
last, when the provincial government
was overthrown and a provisional gov
ernment established, has been suppres-
ad, and the regular provincial govern
ment has been re-established in power.
The president has appointed the fol
lowing named postmasters at offices
which were recently raised to the presi
dential class: M. G. Hall, at Cordele,
Ga.; Miss Ella N. Henry, at Elberton,

J. P. Edmondson, at Mary vile, Tenn.;
E. H. Gilbert, at Bnena Vista, Va.
The railroad question is bound to
crop out this session iu some shape or
other. Nobody seems to know just
how. So far as can be learned.to-night,
nobody has as yet prepared a bill bear
ing on the questiqp; but all the mem
bers I have met tell right out in meet
ing about the robbery of the railroads,
aud it is a noticeable fact that
those gentlemen who were
strongest in their fight on the Olive
bill are now most emphatic in their
condemnation of the roads.
Hon W. H. Fleming, who is attorney
for the Southern Traveler’s Association
will push tbe two cent fare matter be
fore the railroad commission. Tbe re
cent action of the Georgia, Southern
and Florida in asking to be allowed to
reduce passenger fares is going to aid
the travelers in their fight against the
old roads.

Gentlemen—We are using the “Behr Bros.”
Pianos exclusively in the School, and it pleases
us to say that they are siring great satisfac

even action, and we find the Patent Muffler on

Mbmrs Haselton A Dozier, Athens, Ga.
Gentlemen,—I consider the “Behr Bros.
Piano” equal in tone and volume to any that
are in the market, and when they become more
generally used and more widely known, the
music-loving World will find they have no su
perior. Respectfully,

The state supreme court at St. Paul,
upheld the award of $25,000 to Fred A.
Hall, engineer, against the Chicago,
Burlington, and Northern road. The
court charges the railroad company
with being guilty of negligence, which
might almost becharacterized as wanton
and criminal. Hall is now an almost
helpless cripple and an invalid for life.
Messrs. Haselton A Dozier, Athena, Ga.,
Gentlemen,—I take pleasure in stating that
the ^ehr Bros. Piano I purchased from your
Mr. a. selton some years ago, has given per*
feet satisfaction. It is a superior instrument
in mechanism, tone and quality.

At San Francisco, James C. Gordon,
the Boston millionaire,has been granted
a divorce from his wife, Helen, on the
pound of desertion. Mr. Gordon
sought some property here a year ago to
gain a re-idence so as to institute the
proceedings. The evidence in the case
was so meager that lawyers say the de
cree cannot stand if the defendant con
tests it.
Mr. Herbert Gladstone says that influ
enza first attacked his father’s throat,
and that on recovery from that exposure
during an oration brought on a bronchial
affection. He was happy to say that
his father was improving rapidly, and
that there was no cause for alarn. The
queen and the Prince of Wales sent tel
egrams inquiring as to Mr. Gladstone’s
health.
The president has approved the rules
and regulations prepared by the civil
service commission which, from Oct. 1,
next, will govern the appointment of
Indian agency physicians, superintend
ents, assistant superintendents, teachers
and matrons of Indian schools. The
rules are in nearly all of their important
features substantially the same as those
governing the department service gen
erally.
The St. Petersburg Novoe Vremya,
commenting upon the renewal of the
Dreibund, says that unless France and
Russia reply to this treaty shortly by
concluding a formal alliance, the central
powers of Europe will become too confi
dent as to the impoteney of their adver
saries to enable the latter to counteract
their ambitious desires, and they will
consequently bring about events which
will render a European war inevitable.
The latest development in the Brook
lyn tragedy is that Theodore Larbig,
who was killed by Darwin J. Meserole,
was heavily insured. It is said than
some time ago Larbig had his life in
sured for $15,000 in favor of Mrs. Corn-
stock, who is now in jail as an accessory
to the crime. It has been hinted as a
possibility that the existence of the in
surance policy might have served as-a
motive for getting Larbig oat of the
way;
At a meeting of the executive com
mittee of the Grand Army of the Re
public encampment held at Detroit, the
chairman of the finance committee an
nounced that $100,000 had been sub
scribed to defray the expenses of the
encampment. This insures the success
of the encampment without embarrass
ment to the committee, notwithstanding
the failure of the state appropriation.
From present indications some 45,000
men will be in line the^damf the parade.
Pitiful indeed is the condition of those
who are confined io their beds or chairs
unable to walk. How grateful all such
must feel when they recover from their
helplessness. B. B. B. (Botanic Blood
Balm) has made more than one lame
person happy.
Mrs. Euuna Griffiths, Unitia, Tenn.,
writes: “My little boy had scrofula so
bad his knees were drawn up and bis
knees stiff, and he could not walk. He
derived no benefit from medicines until
I tried B. B. B. After using it a short
time only, he can walk and has no pain.
1 suail continue to use it.”
Myrtle M. Tanner, Boonville, Ind.,
writes: “1 had blood poison from birth.
Knots on my limb6 were as large as
hen’s eggs. Doctors said I would be a
orinple, but B. B. B. ha. cured uie
souud and well. I shall ever praise the
day the man who invented Blood Balm
was born.”
