AUGUST 25, 1891 CRAZY DOINGS OF THE EMPEROR ON THE IMPE RIAL YACHT, HOHENZOLLERN. HE BROKE HIS KNEECAP. The Sensational Story Published In a French Newspaper—Mad Ac tions of the Emperor on His Departure From.England.; Paris, Aug. 17.- T io Eclair, which la not given to sensationalism, prints the following story as confirmed by un questioned authority: On the night following the departure of the imperial yacht Hohenzollern from England the crew was beaten to quarters, and was surprised to find the quarter deck bril liantly illuminated. An altar had been erected on deck, bearing the Old and New Testaments, and the kaiser stood by, wearing a white chasuble with a crozier in his hand, and a black and white mitre on his head. He read the most warlike passages from the Testa ment and inviited the crew to respond. He then preached a long sermon on the duty of sovereigns to their people, the whole service lasting from 11 o’clock p. in. to 2 o’clock a. m. The crew was then piped below. At 5 o’clock a. m. the kaiser appeared on the bridge in the uniform'of a high admiral, looking extremely haggard, and addressing the commander, said: "Sir, retire to your cabin. I shall take charge." The commander replied: "Sir, permit me to observe we are in a dan gerous passage, and that it is desirable for your majesty’s safety, as well as for that of the crew, that a sailor remain in command. ” The emperor respon- " Never mind, God will ' ded: me. ” The commander bowed and re tired, the second officer remaining. The emperor angrily bade him retire. The officer respectnilly protesting, the em peror then said: "You resist, you wretched creature! Yoh trouble the spirit of God which is in me. This is the vengeance of God upon you, * deal ing the officer a heavy blow on the cheek. The officer turned crimson, but remained until the emperor seized him by the throat and tried to throw him overboard. In tlie straggle that followed the em peror fejl and broke his kneecap. The sailors watched the scene paralyzed with fear. The occurrence was one that can not be forgotten. The emperor howled with pain. His eyes started from their sockets, and he foamed at the mouth. He swore terribly, and in fact displayed all symptoms at madness. The officers after a brief consultation carried him into a cabin padded with mattresses. Nobody waa permitted to enter except the doctor and empress. Men were neo- empress. emnrv to help restrain him until his leg u**t bandaged and a strait jacket was pot on him.

The consolidation of ;the Macon & Northern and the .Central with the Richmond & Danville causes the solic iting freight offices of these two roads to be done away with, the Richmond & Danville already having a soliciting freight agency here in Athens. And this consolidation means that Mr. Guy C. Hamilton, travelling freight agent for the Central and Capt. James O’Farrell travelling lreight agentfor the Macon and Northern have bo’h lost their positions. Captain O’Farrell came up from Ma con yesterday where he was informed of the abolition of his office and given notice that his removal would take ef fect September first. MB. HAMILTON’S NOTICE. Mr. Guy C. Hamilton received his dismissal yesterday. It was given in the following official letter: Savannah, Ga., August 17.1891. Mb. Guy C. Hamilton, T. F. A„ Athens, Ga.—Dear SirThe operation by the Richmond and Danville Rail road Company of the Central and Ma con and Northern railroads makes consolidation at Athens of the outside agents necessary. As there are three agents now employed, but one will be necessary after the 1st of September. It is with great regret that 1 have to inform you that, in this consolidation, your services will not be needed after September 1st,’91; your salary, how ever, will he pain until October 1st,— no services required of you during the month of September other than giving such information as may be necessary from time to time to the agents ap pointed. Since your connection with this Com pany, you have rendered efficient and most satisfactory "service; and it is with great regret that I now am forced to sever our..official connection. If, at any time, however, I can be of service to you, please command me. It is necessary to say that in the re organization, I have been made Gener al Freight Agent of the Central Sys tem. Respectfully, G. A. WHITKHKAD, Freight Agent. rr WAS EXPECTED. This was not a surprise. But, there is some intensely bitter feeling among the merchants of Athens about it all the same. Justly so. There was never a more striking il lustration of genuine railroad soliciting than the work of these two officials pre sents. They had built up an enormous clientage for their respective roads and have won golden reputations in the railroad world by their untiring endeavors. The Covington and Macon ran its freight traffic up to a remarkable traffic, hauling more cotton than any railroad running to Athens. It was all due to Capt. O’Farrell. y.;* The Central has each year under the splendid guidance of Mr. Hamilton in' creased its freights in proportions truly wonderful, and it is an ever-lasting evi dence to the credit of himself that last year by actual statistics, the increase of Central freight in his section was more than the combined increase of all the other roads, main. It goes without sayiug that such ef ficient railroad men as these, will not be long out of a job. More than this, the Georgia, Carolina and Northern will do a great business in Athens when its freight trains begin to roll down from the North. One merchant was beard to ssy in conversation with Mr Hamilton and Capt. O’Farrell yester day. “I have just ordered 109 bar rolls of sugar to be sbip|ted by your lines; I shall at once wire that they be shipped by another line entirely for I only had it put by that route because of yourselves personally.” There is much bitterness of feeling among the merchants over the matter, Day Dsniac* Suit Instituted.
