Win Probably Taka Place In the Near Future—The Supreme Court Af-' firms the Decision of the Lower Court In the Case of WlUt&m Johnson. Extensive Preparations for Fighting Still Going on—Guns, Ships and Men are Ready for the Fray. William Johnson, the negro murderer, who dow languishes in Clarke county jr.il, will in all human probability, stretch hemp ere many months pass away. On yesterday the Supreme court of Georgia handed down its decision in bis appeal oase and affirmed the decis- on of the lower court which said he should hang. Judge Hutchins will probably re sentence the condemned negro at an early date, and then all that can save his neck will be interference on the par? of Governor Northea. The story of the orime for which he was convicted is well known to the peo- plu-of Athens. One Sunday afternoon of this year John Webb, a negro in the employ of Messrs. L. Wright & Co , coot' ctors on the Georgia, Carolina & Northern railway, went oveT to another camp with a message and as be got down off his male, he was shot by a Winchester rifle in the hands of William Johnson; another ne gro- No motive was assigned for the deed. Johnson at once fled, and was captured in Oglethorpe County soon after, and b r ought. back to Clarke County. He was indicted for murder, and was put on trial in Clark? Superior Court before his honor, Judge N. L Hutch- lus. He was ably defended by Col. A. G. McCurry of the local bar, and was given every advantage of a fair and im partial trial before a jury of twelve cit izens of Clarke County, who after hear ing the evidence in the case returned a verdict of guilty, and accordingly Johnson was sentenced to hang. ilis case was carried on appeal, how ever, to the Supreme Court, who after hearing the appeal, have decided that the verdict of the lowercourt shall stand. OUll MUST HANGING. And H Johnson is hung, it will be the first person ever hung in Clarke county by it verdiot of a jury. There are few counties in the state that cau show as clear a record in the matter of hangings, and morever, this results be- o .use of the very few murder cases that h ivs oecured in this county. B Tore the county of Oconee was cut off from Clarke and when Watkiusvllle was the county seat of Clarke county, several hangings ocoured there, bat on the ground now covered' by the limits of Clarke county there has- never been a legal execution. During the war there was a negro man lynched over near Dr. McClesky’s o d place on the Georgia railroad. A Banner reporter was speaking with an old citizen concerning this event last night, who remarked that this was the only mob he had ever seen. -‘I will never forget said be the events that transpired during that lynching. -I was standing in my office on Broad street and heard the lateChan- Lvlior Lipscomb as he begged and. per snaded with the lynchers to let the maj e-ay of the law be preserved and to lei justice take its course. When he "bad liuij-hed, the leader of the mob, and minister of the gospel at that, turned to the crowd and said, “Come on boys,” and away they went in a trot, dragging the negro along with a rope around his neck until they disappeared down Broad street. I never want to see an other mob.” In all human probability Johnson will be bung at an early date. The bangiag will be in private, in the jail yard in this city and none will be ad united except a few officers of the oonrt SAFE AND EFFECTIVE.

James did not feei well, and be asked Maria to go out anu get him a dose of Rochelle salt-). Marin wheat to an npotherary shop kept by C. F. Booth at 859 Ninth avenue. There was nobody in attendance but Henry Kraus, a 10-year-old boy. The woman asked for 10 cents’ worth of Rochell« salts. He looked around among the bottles a;J polled down one filled with crystalized oxalic acid. "Is that what yon want?" he asked the woman, taking some of the poison ont in his hand. She touched a little of it to her tongue, and said that she guessed that it was. The boy pat her up a package of the stuff and she took it home. No sooner had .James swallowed the stuff than he was in agony. His sister became frightened and ran to the Thirty seventh Street police station. All am balance was call ed and James was taken to the Itooe. velt hospital. He passed a terrib. night there in the'ban Us of the doctor. The boy Kraus was arrested and re mantled for an examination.

Dr. Swayne A t>on,Philadelpni»- PRESIDENT AND HIS CABI NET HOLD A CONFERENCE. Washington, Dec. 29.—The presi dent and his oabinet held a close con ference relative to the Chilian embrog- llo. Extensive preparations for war are going on at the ordnanoe department, while denials are being made that any idgnificanee could be attached to them. Much talk is caused by Minister Ea gan’s not attending the inauguration of President Montt, bat the latest indica tions are that Eagan was not invited. The order has been issued for the im mediate shipment of a new 18-inch gnn, which has had only one test at tbs proving grounds, by fast freight to San Francisco, where it is to be placed on board of the Monterey. A shipment of 42,000 pounds of pow der and 11,000 8-inch shells has also been ordered from the League Island navy yard to the same destination. In speaking of this bnrried shipment, a naval official said that it was under stood to be the intention of the depart ment to send the cruiser now finishing there to Chili, should it be necessary without her armour wbioh, he thought, would be a very hazardous proceeding. England is evidently “agging” Chili on, and now it looks like war. Many young; military men, hungering for dis tinction. have already applied for ChiNaa commissions. Chili’s haring applied for 100 metres space at the World’s Fair, indicates that if she expect* war it will bo of short duration. It is believed that before the time for real fighting t* begin, the shoe-string government will see which tide her iread it battered on, and make Unde 8am the necessary apologies.

Two More Companies of United States Troops Expected In Laredo—They Will Guard the Texas Frontiers. Lebedo, Tex., Dec. 29.-Thirty-three car loads of Mexican troops, comprising about 800 men, arrived in New Laredo, Mexico, from Satillo. This seems to- in dicate that reports of advantages gained ■long the border by Garza are not alto gether wrong. These newly arrived troops will pro ceed down the river at once. Two more companies of United States troops are expected to arrive in this city. _ They will leave at once for the lower Rio Grande to aid in guarding the Texas frontier from an invasion from the rev olutionists. Matters are-rapidly grow ing serious. Considerable uneasiness is expressed for the company of United States .cavalry who left last Friday for some point down the river without taking a guide. Nothing has been heard from them since their departure. McElree’s Wine of Cardul md THEOFORD’S BUCK - DRAUGHT ore ■•*r sale by the following memhanfr ip E S Lyndon, Athens, Ga.

Early in the morning groans and cries were heard in Riggs’s shop, and a fow minutes later be rushed ont enveloped in flames. His clothes were entirely burned from him, and in some places the flesh fell from the bones, while a hole was burned entirely through the right side.

Reducing the Acreage. Jackson, Mist., Dea 29.—The low price of cotton has created consterna tion among the fanners, and the talk of reducing the acreage next year is rife, and seems to be the only remedy, but can united action in the matter be had? Talk is cheap, and will the dis mission end in smoke? To illustrate hew it may end, the remarks of a {flan- tar, who was discussing the matter, are quoted. After an expression of his opinions that reduction in production was the only remedy, etc., and urging this course by the planters, a corres pondent said to him: ‘’Well, Mr. Blank, how much are yon going to cut down your cotton acreage?” With a slirng of the shoulders, he whispered, "None; am not raising enough now, but my neighbors and everybody else are plant ing too much." A Narrowly Averted Accident. Nxw York, Dee. 29.—An accident, with probable loss of life, was narrowly averted on the Sixth avenue elevated roud by the high wooden guard rail that ruu alongside the tracks. Oae of the engines jumped the track at Park place, M'jsing the delay of 1 hour ancl a block- ads that extended to worth street. Fin ally a train approached the blocked train*. There was uo perceptible lessen ing of speed. The engineer seemed ob hvions of the blockade before him until within seventy-five feet of tb* rear platform of the last car of the train in front. Then he put on the brakes. It was too late. The engine crashed into the rear car. Th* passengers were thrown from their scats. Tiv» rear car WHS derailed, and but for til* guard rail* would have toppled over into the street below. No one was hmT. There appears to be no good reason for the ac- ■' it. unless the brakes failed to work -rly. The company is very reti- t about the accident. BLACK-PRAUQHT tec lor Dyspepsia I’erlsH.d la a Slluard.

Three other men started over the summit on the Sunday previous. One of them was found dead twelve miles from Lake Tahoe. Fur ther search on snow shoes showed noth ing of the others. All stations have been visited by searchers, but none of the lost have been found. The nights have been very cold in the storm lately. It seems certain that all of the men have perished.

MeElree’s Wine of Cardiff for weak Nerves Smut In Wheat. Smut in wheat is a parasite fungus of a low degree. The spores, which an swer the place of seeds in higher orders of plants, are in the form of a minute black dust, and these are scattered over the field, in the grass, straw, chaff, also adhering to the sound grain after it is gathered, and may be sown with it the following year; and when conditions are favorable these smut spores germinate, their threads penetrating all parts of the growing plant and ultimately producing smutty wheat again. Smutty grain may appear in dry as well as in wet seasons, and the abundance of smut in the wheat- fields of a locality may be due to the continnous cropping of particular fields with wheat, oats or some closely allied grain. To prevent 6mut a system of ro tation of crops should be adopted and the seed wheat be soaked for a few hours in a solution of sulphate of copper, or in a weak brine made with common salt, for the purpose of killing any smut spores that may be oh the grain. A good way to prepare seed wheat for sowing is to dissolve one pound of sul phate of copper in two gallons of water, or in this proportion for any quantity re quired. The wheat should be placed in tabs or casks, filling up to within three or four inches of tb# top, then pouring in the solution until the grain is well covered. The wheat is then to be stirred thoroughly, and should any whole smut grains come to the surface they have to be skimmed off. After soaking for an hour or two the liquor is to be drained off, the grain spread out on a floor and dusted with dry lime or wood ashes after which it is to be sown as usual. Cheap Plan tor Warming a Tank of Water, Given by an Ohio Farmer. Mr. John Gould described the arrange ment shown in the cut for warming a tank of water, in or ont of the bam, in a recent issue of The Country Gentleman. Assuming that the water tank is thirty- six inches deep, get a tin pail as deep and ten inches in diameter, made with a cover, in which an inch hole is pat. Have an inch tube, B, two inches long, soldered on near the bot tom, and punch ed through, and to this tube at tach an inch hose, A, or pipe, mak ing a water tight joint at B. Sink this tin pail in the tank, and by hooks or other wise fasten it to the bottom, so that it remains fixed. Have the hose, A, fastened to the side, so' as to be a little warming a tank of above the top of water. the paiL Fill the tank with water to the dotted line, and arrange so that it cannot fill more, and submerge the pail Now put a 50 cent oil stove, D, into the pail, with oil enough to ran it one hour, and put it (lighted) into the bottom of the pail. Put on the pail cover and the water in the tank will soon be warm enough. It is best to have a cover for the tank that can bo shut down and hold in heat that escapes from the pail. The tube, A, supplies the air to keep the fire going. The fire of course goes ont when the oil fails and there can be no possible danger. A pint of oil, costing lees than one cent, will warm a tank of water. The cost of this apparatus all told is: Pail, $1; stove, 50 cents; hose, 20 cents; the rest—gumption. In the depths of the sea lived a carrier clam In a perfectly simple way; He lived on a rock near a seaweed swamp. And sang to himself all day. And early each morning at four or so. Or even ns early as three, This bright little clam on his rounds would go, In the depths of the beautiful sen. “Ho, ho,” muttered he, “I will get my aunt clam . _ * To flirt with the lobster above, In my own barn we dispense with this And while she is making it lovely ttor him, 9 a it * « a TH! hnnt.lA nwAv uritiR mw lnvn ” taking ont the water in buckets by hav ing an inch hose affixed to the bottom of the tank, the hose being long enough to reach to any part of cow or horse stable and box stalls. The pressure sends the water through the hose about as fast as four cows can drink; so large pails are set in the mangers, the water “hosed” into them, and three cows are thus kept drinking; when one cries, “Hold, enough!” the pail is set in front of an other cow and the process repeated. We then know just how much a cow has drunk, and if she is not “dry”—a cow usually driakteg about seven or eight gaTtowe er teteJa liMto, we then know b, and wrier is agate offered her later on; for if cows do not drink they will not give milk long or profitably. Wintering Bane Indoors. An advocate for wintering bees in a cellar, Charles Zillmer by name, in a paper read before a Wisconsin meeting of beekeepers, gave reaeons for his pref erence for indoor wintering. The lead ing one was that in a good,-dry cellar an even temperature can be most easily maintained^, during the winter season, and the warm spells in February, while making a decided impression on bees wintered ont of doors or in a house, passes without any effect to bees in cel lars. He said on the subject of chaff hives: “These hives do not let the heat in as quickly as do others, but when the heat is once in there it stays; the bees in chaff hives consume from twenty to twenty- five pounds more of honey during the winter than those wintered in a cellar. In single walled hives the cost is about half as much as it would be in a chaff hive, and one can save enough honey on fifty-nine colonies wintered in a cellar in one year to build a good cellar.” It must be remembered that the win ters in Mr. Zillmer's locality are very cold, hence a good cellar is the safest place in which to winter his bees. The important points in successful wintering in cellars are, The avoidance of exces sive moi8tnre and the maintenance of a temperature as-near 45 degs. as is possi ble from November to April. — Seeping Corn Fodder. Corn fodder keeps well when properly shocked in the field, although there is some loss from exposure to the weather, but this would not deserve to betaken into consideration if it were the only ob jection. Often it is desired to seed the field to wheat, when the corn shocks are found to be greatly in the way. Then hauling it off to be fed in the winter as it is wanted must generally be done un der such unfavorable conditions of the weather and the soil as to make it a very disagreeable business. I aim to husk my corn and haul the stalks from the field during good weather in the fall and take the best care of them I can to keep them from becoming moldy. One of the best methods of packing fodder away either in a mow, stack or rick, is to put on alternately a thin layer of dry wheat straw. This will absorb moisture from the stalks and if the fodder itself is dry when stored away, it will come out bright and sweet when it is wanted. When stored thus outside of the bam it must be covered with straw. A long rick is better than a round stack, for it can then be fed from one end without uncovering the whole, writes an Indiana farmer in the New York World. WINE OF cannUl « Taffeta Prince Bismarck narrowly escaped being the victim of a railroad-crossing accident on Chiistmas Day.
