Dr Orr’a work for the las. year has
been well done, and his report for the
year as returned to the Council yester
day furnishes interesting reading. It
isasfollowB:
To ihe Hon. Mayor and Mkmbbbs
of the City Council.
Gentlemen:
I herewith present my report as San
Belt Line Company was seen yesterday
by a Banner reporter in regard to the
lease and in an interview said; “We
have leased the road to the Richmond
& Danville for ninety-nine years at
terms perfectly satisfactory to our
selves, The leasees took charge a* few
days since, all the preliminary steps
having been taken and the lease per
fected ”
Wb&t prompted the leasing of this
property ?” was asked of Capt. Backer.
‘•Well,” said he, "we concluded that
itary Inspector for our city, giving the I affairajwould be better arranged

The number of interments in all the J
cemeteries has been as follows:

Total colored 97.
Total whites and colored 162.
The population for 1889 was 8,136,for
1890 it was 9,750; this would be an in
crease of about 550 per annum. Hence,
it will be safe to place the population
for 1891 at 10,300. This will make the
death rate 16 per 1,000. It will
therefore be seen that
thh rate is slightly higher that it was
last year, the death rate for 1890 being
only 14 per 1,000.
This incu ase probably due to the fact
that there was during the year, a large
intlux of railroad employees, and tbis
transient population was not included
iu the 10,300 upon which my calculation
was based, and, yet, quite a large sum
her of the deaths o< curred among those
railroad employees. Hence, it is safe
to conclude that the death rate* among
the boua fide residents was really low
er than it was last year-
when all the lines were under one man
agement, than they were when under
separate managements, so we leased
the road, and the Richmond & Danville
will run it in the future.”
The Athens Belt Line is a most im
portant atrip of railway. It was built
by a stock company, of which Mr, J
H. Bucker is president and principal
stockholder. It has been of great serv-
ioe in the transportation of freights and
in other ways, and under the control of
tbe Richmond & Danville it will con
tinue to be so.
FOR ROBBBRRY.
One of the most interesting' portions
of the Council proceedings was the re
port of Alderman Ruoker as Chairman
of tbe Water Works committee.
It was a scorcher, and the name of
the Water Works was certainly mud.
In pursuance of the instructions of
the council this committee had made
different tests of tbe pressure famish
ed by tbe Water Works company.
These tests are required to be 65 ft.
and the results didn’t average forty
feet.
They showed a plain case of faiiure
to comply with the contract .with tbe
city.
Alderman Bucker made an able
speech showing that the supply of wat
er in the reservoir was lower now than
ever, and that if tbe city is caught next
summer without a full supply, the city
would inevitably be swept by an epi
demic of sickness.
He stated that the contract had un
doubtedly been broken for the past
four months.
Alderman Hodgson suggested imme
diate action but after a long discussion
the matter was referred to'the city com -
mittee with iLStructions to proceed at
once to settle the matter.
During the running debate on this
proposition some pretty fiery speeches
were made, and it all evidenced tbe fact
that the city will soon have a new sys
tem of water works.
Under
A White Man and a Negro
Arrest.
The other night E. M. Saber was rob
bed of seme money and other articles of
value in this city.
The police authorities were put on
the track of the suspected robbers and
yesterday arrested a white man named
Jack Sailors, and a negro named John
Atkins.
Sailors gave bond and Atkins was |put
in jail.
Only a few days since, this same ne
gro, Atkins, was acquitted in Clarke
City Court of the offense of larceny
from the person, and after a brief inter
val of freedom finds himself again be

CYCLONE’S WORK.
The Town of Fayetteville In Ruins.
Fayetteville, Ga., Jan. 6.—A terri
ble cyclone, bringing death and de
struction, passed over village of Fay
etteville, in Fayette county, about
twenty-six miles from Atlanta, uu the
Atlanta and Florida railroad. The roar
of the funnel of elond and fire, th°
crashing of tbe bnildinga and the
shrieks of the dying made an awful
scene, and those who speak of it shad
der as they narrate Fayetteville’s night
of terror.
At 7 o’clock in the evening a great,
black, funnel-shaped cloud, fringed
with electric fire, the center of which
uras a roaring, seething mass, struck
Fayetteville, and dwellings and churches
and public buildings were swept away
and sonls hurled into eternity. No pen
can truly pictnre the terrible scenes in
the little village.
Blown IOO Yards A way.
At the home of Mrs. A. J. Henderson
a happy family were gathered about
the hearthstone. Mrs. Henderson, Mrs.
Travis, her daughter; Mr. Will Travis
and his two children, formed the happy
group. The lightning flashed from the
leavens—tbe rain came down. Hush 1
Is that the roar of an approaching
train? No. There was no train due at
that hour. The building shook a little.
Mr. Travis stepped to the door to see
what it all meant Just as he stenp-d
upon the porch the cyclone catne do
upon the honse. Within the little home
terror seized upon all. The roof of tbe
honse was first taken off. and then,
strange to relate, the floor of the house
was wrenched away, end the inmates
and contents were left within the walls
of the boose upon the bare ground.
Mrs. Henderson was badly hurt. Mrs
Travis and the children were seriously
injured.
Where was Mr. Travis? Search was
made for him, and he was not found
until 9 o’clock. Hie mangled remains
were picked np in an old field 100 yards
from the residence. ' It was not until 9
o’clock when they discovered him.
Both legs and arms were broken and
his ribs crushed to a palp. While
standing in the open door he had been
taken up by the snetion of the electric
fnnnell, and thrown 100 yards away.
His death must have been instantane
ous.
A Little Girl’s Awful Doom.
Twelve happy people were sitting to
gether at the residence of Mr. J. W
Graham, a bright aud happy family cir
de. The breath of the death-dealing
cyclone touched the happy home. The
walls were crushed like bits of paste
board, and the roof and ceiling were
torn away like chaff. The chimney tot
tered and fell. Beneath tha pile of de
bris one member of tbe happy family
group was buried, Sallie Kate Graham
aged nine. But a few moments before
she had been sitting bo the very fireside
that was now her bier, chatting and
laughing. All the other members of
the family were injured, but it
thought that none of th*na will prove
fatal.
Af-r the storm had passed away
sonuuody picked np a little dead negro
child. Whose it was or where it came
from nobody knows.
Altogether ten beantifnl homes
twenty other residences, the public
academy and the alliance warehouse
were totally destroyed. Many other
buildings were also seriously damaged.
TROUBLE IN KANSAS.
Troops Ordered to the Seat of War to
Preserve Order.
Topeka, Kan., Jan. 6.—Governor
Humphrey’s dispatch, sept to Adjutant
General Boberets, in regard to the
county seat of war reads as follows:
Independence, Kan., Jan. 5.
Col. Boberts, Adjutant General:
Take a company of men and go to the
scene of the trouble in Stevens county
at once. If more force seems necessary
as events develop, order it to yottr aid
Make all arrangements necessary for
transportation and supplies.
You will nse the military to preserve
the peace and protect life and property
where it is necessary to do so.
I will leave for Topeka tonight. Com
municate with me for further ordere.
Act judiciously but firmly. It seems
to me that more than one company will
be necessary.
[Signed] Lyman Humphrey.
An order was sent immediately upon
the receipt of this message, asking
Colonel BickseOker to meet the train at
Hudson's at 7 o’clock a. m., with Com
pany A, of the first regiment. Adju-

THE LONG DRIVE HOME
Of a
Young Couple V.'ho Hnd Braved
Parental Objections.
Crawfordsvolr, Ind., Jan. 6.—Ev
ert Lynn, who created such a sensation
here a few weeks ago by eloping with
pretty Carrie Moms, the 18-year-old
daughter of a prominent citizen, re
turned. As usual the father and mother
of the bride relented and wired Lynn to
return home at once from Nashville,
Tenn., where they were living. .Vs
Lynn did not have the price to secure
tickets to return, h«* managed to get a
horse and buggy, ^nd with it he mrtde
the longdistance from Nashville. They
averaged thirty miles per day, and
through all the snow and rain he and
his young wife bravely drove. When
they reached the home of her father,
the girl was completely exhausted, and
is now in a critical condition. Lynn
looks none the worse for his long ride.
The horse died a few minutes after
reaching home.

makes some salty charges against the
keepers of the city prison in regard to
the treatment of prisoners.
The Atlanta Constitution of yester
day contained a very interesting tele
gram from New York in reference to
the Central railroad question. It was
as follows:
Nrw York, January 5.—[Special.]^-
It has been developed that Hon. Pope
Barrow, of Athens, Ga., met General
Samuel Thomas in Washington on last
S&tnrday, and he was instructed by
General Thomas to veto the stock held
by the Terminal company in ttae\ v ec-
tion on Monday at Savannah for direc
tors of the Central railroad for such
men to fill the vacancies of the board as
he might select from the most promi
nent citizens of of Georgia who are in
terested in the stock of the Cential rail
road.
THE PROXIES SENT TO BARROW.
The proxies were sent from New York
by General Sorrell and delivered to Mr.
Barrow Monday morning at Savannah,
and J he selected the
new members of the board
in the election on Monday. It is also
stated that Mr. Barrow was given in
struction at the same time by General
TLomas to reorganize the attorneys of
the road in Georgia, and by all means to
reduce the expenses. There are great
complaints here about the expense of
litigation of the roads connected with
tbe Terminal system in Georgia. Very
heavy verdicts have been rendered and
the law fees are enormous, and there
are very great complaints about the
whole matter in the Terminal board.
CERTAIN THINGS TO HAPPEN.
A reliable railroad man, who is w< H
acquainted with the railroad situation
ia Georgia, said today that we migbt
look out in Goorgiajfor certain things
to happen: First, tbe headquarters of
the Central would be
moved back to Savannah;
the headquarters of tbe Terminal sys
tem would go back toBichmond, not to
Washington. GeorgeS. Scott, of the
First National bank in New York,
would again be elected president of the
Richmond and Danville railroad; Wor
thington, of Washington, would be the
general counsel for the .Terminal sys
tem.
THE SYSTEM TO BE BROKEN UP.
The present Terminal system would
be broken up as follows: The Central
and Georgia Pacific wonid be put iu
one system, with Superintendent Mo-
Bee in charge; the Bicbmond and Dan
ville from Atlanta to Washington
would be in ch&Tge of Mr. Thompson,
who is now assistant general
manager of the system; and the roads
in South Carolina and western North
Carolina would be in another system,
the manager of this system to be select
ed.
A RECEIVERSHIP FOR THE CENTRAL
This gentleman thinks that alter tbe
toads are organized in this way tbe
East Tennessee road will be played to
injure the business of the Central, and
in that way the road will fail to pay,
and will eventually go into tbe hands
of a receiver. Tbis is bis idea of what
will result. All we can do is to wait
and see if his predictions are true. He
has given fu.l scope in bis prediction*,
so that as it occurs we can tell if it is
true. Of course, if be means any of
the important prophecies above made
we may know that be is -wrong as to
the results that will follow.
CAPTAIN JACKSON IN CHARGE
Captain Henry Jackson has taken
temporary charge of the Bichmond and
Danville’s law department.
When Calhoun, King & Spalding
were made general southern couns* 1 of
the system, Captain Jackson, who had
been general counsel of the Georgia
Pacific, remained as assistant counsel of
that company and ’ became assistant
counsel of tbe Biohmond and Danville
Upon the resignation of Calhoun,
King & Spalding, Captain Jackson was
wired from New York to act as counsel
pending a reorganization of the Bys
tem’s law department,
King & Spalding volunteered to as
sist Captain Jackson until the proper
transfer of the business can be arrang
ed. He stated yesterday that he has
not the force at present to dispatch the
enormous legal business connected with
the Bichmond and Danville.
Hon, Pope Barrow, of Athens, will
again be prominently associated in the
Bicbmond and DanviHe’s counsel, it is
said.
Judge Hammond, who represented
the petitioners in the application at Sa
vannah on Monday for an injunction to
restrain the Bicbmond Terminal from
voting its 40,000 shares of Central rail
road stock, says that he is not interest
ed in any movement on the part of the
minority to break the lease. If there is
such a movement he has nothing to do
with it, and no interest in it, he states.
The Change of Chief.—Capt D. C.
Oliver goes out of the position of Chief
of Police backed by tbe good w ill of the
people of Athens. They realize that ho

a large number are sorrv he was net re-

To Improve Faibvibw Heights.—A

Baby Afflicted with Bad Sores and

Curedbj tie Cuticura.
Daring the summer of 1889 my eighteen months’
old infant was so afflicted with eruptions that
ordinary domestic reiredles failed to givenny
relief. On hts hips would often appear the
seeming track of a little wire-’ilte worm, and on
o her parts of his body bad sores came and re
mained till I procured the Cuticura Remedies.
For some time I used the soap and salve w ith,
oat a blood medicine,but they did not do so well
as when all were u-e<£toeether. It has now been
nearly a year since the eioption was healeiI, and
1 very much feared it would return with the
warm weather of this year, but the summer Is
passed and not one sore has appeared on him.

Sore From Waist Down.
I had three of the best physicians in Paducah,
and they did me no good. 1 used your cuticura
Remedies, and they have cured e sound and S3<
well. I was sore from my waist down with eo-
aema. They have cured me with no sign of re
turn. I owe n.y llle to Cuticura, for without a
doubt, I would have been in my grave had it not
been for your remedies- Allow me to return
my slncerest thanks.'

These Messenger Boys were sent out to make special
delivery of Catalogues, and told to hurry. This idea so excited
them that they got all mixed up and don’t know which is
which. They want you to pick them out and put them in their
proper order, so as to show the name of a leading piano.
Here is a hint. The catalogues tell all about the famous
SOFT-STOP and other patented improvements. For further
