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. Clarke county I. O. O. F., will install officers tonight.

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.

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, Judge A. L. Mitchell, Hon. Pope Bar- row, Capt. W. W. Thomas, A. L. Hull, Dr. H. C. White, R. K. Reaves, J. E. Talmadge, C* W. Baldwin, T. W. Rucker, E. K. Lumpkin, J. H. Meaior, Bil.ups Pbinizy, E. S. Lyndon, Julius Cohen, W.

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.

Secretary Rusk says the result of the pork inspection at Chicago has been very satisfactory. The proportion of animals found affected is less than ex pected, and he believes less exists than in the hogs of any other country.

The London Baptist association has passed resolutions regretting the bacca rat revelations, and saying that the Prince of Wales, instead of being the leader of immoral forces, should he the leader and inspiration of the moral forces of the empire. The marked benefit which people in run down or weakened state of health derive from Hood's Sarsaparilla, conclusively proves the claim that this medicine “ makes the weak strong.” It does not act like a stimulant, Imparting fictitious strength from which there must follow a reaction of greater weakness than before, but In the most natural way Hood’s Sarsaparilla overcomes that tired feel- lug, creates an appetite, purifies the blood, and, to short, gives great bodily, nerve, mental and digestive strength.

Atlanta, Ga., July 7.—]Special.]— Things are livening up iu the Gate City aud around the capitol. The Senators aud Representatives are coming in rapidly, and all day yester day the hotel corriders were crowded 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, is here by a large majority, and his hap py countenance was seen yesterday af ternoon smiling upon his friends in the corridor of the Kimball house. Among the earty arrivals are Hon. Eb v Williams of Au gusta, Ex-Senator Jim Dupre who is here looking on and watching to see which way the wind will. blow; Hon. W. Y. Atkinson of Coweta, who is in terested in the Governor’s approval of the W. & A. Commission report; Speak er pro tom, Paul Trammel; President Bob Mitchell of the Senate; Senators Tom Cabinet, Joe Terrell, Calver. of Hancock and Representatives Billy Wooten, Clifton, of Chatham,' Price Gilbert, of Muscogee and many others, all of whom are engaged in chatting about current topics to while away the time until to-morrow morn ing at ten o’clock when the house and senate will be called to order by their respective officers. 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, Ga.; W. C. Shaw, at Aarriman, Tenn.; 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.

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, ” ELLEN A. CRAWFORD, Principal English SehroL 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. Youra, very truly, W. W. 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.” A Brave Southern Soldier Bor. Indianapolis, July 6.—While the Southern Cadete, of Macon, Ga., were waiting for the signal to enter upon the prize drill at the National Military en campment, Will Cunningham, one of its indispensable members, received a tele gram announcing the sudden death of his sister.
