COUNTY SUICIDES.

Supposed to be the
Cause-
A ratbfr bold forgery game has been
tried in Athens for a day orso past, ard
two n-gro women did the work.
Last Saturday a couple of negro wo
men went into the store of Messrs. Da
vidson & Lowe, and made several pur
chases. In paying for the goods
bought they produced a check on the
Esnk of the University, payable to
Mary Jones, aud what purported to
be the signature of Miss M.
Rutherford. The amount that the
check called for was $7.40.
Nothing was thought of the pro
ceeding until this morning when the
bank refused to honor the check, know
ing that the signature waa not that of
Miss Rutherford.
Davison & Lowe at onee enquired of
Miss Rutherford as to the validity of
the check, and she responded that she
had not issued such a p- r er.
Yesterday morniDg it developed that
these same negroes had gotten off one of
their bogus checks, for the same
arnouut on Morris Bios., and had re
ceived from them some cash in change.
Messrs. Michael Bros, were presented
with another of the forged checks, hut
at this house it was not honored, as they
did not btlieve it genuine.
It is to be hoped that the perpetrators
of this forgery scheme will be apprehen
ded, and doubtless they will. All the
checks were for seven dollars, and were
payable to the same party.
No doubt the guilty parties
have other checks in their
possession, and it behooves all persons
to see that all checks cashed bear the
correct signatures of the party who is
sues them. It is thought that the guil
ty parties will be apprehended in
short time, and justice will speedily be
administered*

MR. A PHILLIPS DEAD.
He Passed over the River Yesterday
Morning.
Thursday morning about twoo’clock,
Mr. A. Phillips, an old and respected
Jewish citizen of Athens, passed away.
For sometime he had been in declining
health and his death was due more to
old age than any other caa-e.
Mr. Phillips had been a citizens of
Athens for quite a number of years,and
numbered his friend* by the scores. He
leaves five daughters and three sons to
mourn. his death among
whom are Mr?. S. Michael
and Miss Martha Phillips and Messrs
Felix and Hugo Phillips, of this oity.
The funeral services were held at his
late residence on Puliski street yester
day afternoon and were conducted by
Rabbi Jacobson in a most impressive
manner, after which the remains were
gently laid to rest.
Tbetxreaved relatives and friends
have the sympathies of all in their hour
of afSiotion.
For all derangements of the throat snd
lung-, Ayer,» Cherry Pectoral is the
speediest and most reliable remedy. Even

relief, checks coughing, and induces sleep.
News reached the city yesterday
morning of a sad suicide over in Wal
ton county. Mr. Otta Walker, who
lives near India P. O., about twenty
miles from Athens, is a well and favor
ably known young man who numbered
his friends by the score ;he was liked by
all who knew him, and his sad end has
cast a gloom over the community in
which he lived.
Mr. Walker had for some time past
been gloomy and in depressed spirits,
and on Sunday morning last, speaking
to his wife said: “If it were not for
leaving you, I would kill myself.”
Further than this, no intimation was
given that he had any inclination of
suicide. Monday he seemed in
brighter mood than usual, and it was
hoped that the depression had passed.
Late Tuesday evening Mrs. Walker
went out into the barn-yard, and was
milking a cow, when the sharp report
from a shot gun sounded and it was in
the house. She dropped the pail and
ran towards the house. Before reach
ing that place, however, she saw her
husband run from the hours, and was
coming toward her. He ran thus for
about fifteen steps, and fell at her feet,
the blood oozing from a wound in his
left side.
After firing the f-ital shot Mr Walk
er never spoke, the ahoctiDg proving
fatal almost instantly.
No reason can be assigned for the act
except that of mental depression.
Mr, Walker was a young man of abont
twenty-five years of age, and had been
married about three years. The rela
tions between himself and wife had al
ways been of a most pleasant nature
and no wonder the youDg wife is sorrow
stricken on account of his tragic death
In her hour of sorrow she has the sym
pathies of the community.
Mr. Walker had for some time been
an sceeptable member of the Baptist
Church.
A BLOODY FIGHT.
Two Negroes Have a Serious Dlfflcul
ty at Fowler's StHl.
Thursday about 12 o’clock Alex
Bostwick and Henry Foster, two color
ed citizens engaged in a fight out at Mr.
Fowler's still house, and a bloody fight
it was. The difficulty arose out of an
old feud which was ienewed yesterday
Angry words led to blows, and they
fell thick and fast, until Bostwick
seizing a rock threw it with terrible
force at Foster striking him in the fore
head. Fowler fell so soon as the rock
hit him, and for a time it looked as if
the blow would prove fatal. Dr. W. S*
Whaley dressed the woutd, and it is be
lieved that Foster will be all right after
gome days. Profuse bleeding was caus
ed from an artery being cut, and bad
Dr. Whaley arrived a little later the ne
gro may have bled to death. It is said
that Bostwick has left for parts
known.

EXHONERATED
MB. S. P. TANNERY
Writes that he Is Convinced of .the- In
nocence of Messrs. C. C. and J.
T- Crump—This ends the
Case Against Them.
Messrs. C. C. and J. T. Crump will
not stand their committal trial next
Friday in Athens on the charge of
horse stealing.
For they have been exhon- rated by
the prosecutor, Mr. S.
P. Tannery, of Ocmee
county, South Carolina, and of course
that ends the matter.
The Banner on yesterday received
the following letter:
CAKNESvH.LH.Ga., March 1, ’92.
To The Athens Banner :—
In justice to J. T. andC. C. Crump as
to a warrant I swore out against said
parties in Athens 27tb of February for
horse stealing, since my return to
Franklin court j 1 am satisfied J. T
and C. C. Crump did not steal the prop
erty, and ask the Banner to coirect the
matter.
S. P. Tannbet.
Witnesses—T. R Crawford, J. C. Me
Carter, Sheriff.
This letter will lift a serious charge
from off the shoulders of two innocent
men, and the Banner takes pleasure in
publishing it, and in thus correcting
the imifressioD that may have gon>
abroad by the arrest of the Messrs
Crump.
The case against these two gentle
men will be dismissed from the courts
TO REMOVE SOON
And Worship In the Christian Church.
In a very short while, the present ed
ifice used by the congregation of Em
manuel Episcopal Church, of this city,
will be torn away. It has already been
sold and the owners of the building de
sire to improve the property.
The churoh has secured the use
of the Christian Church, corner Pulaski
and Dougherty streets, and will hold
the regular meetings there until the
new chnroh building on Prince avenue
is erected.

HIS FIRSTS RMON
Since Being Ordalnad as Bishop of
Georgia.
Rev. Cleland KiDlock Nelson, the
new Bishop of the Diocese of Georgia,
delivered his first sermon Wednesday
morning in St. Luke’s cathedral.
Hi* text was taken from the 6th chap
ter of St. Matthew, 16t,h verso: “Whet
ye fast be not as hypocrites.” H<*
s.id:
“I notice that the Episcopalians ar
condition d to ho ld this day as a day of
charity and good work and fisting ai.d
orayer. Is tnia so? When ye fast be
not as the hypocrites.
*T take this for my text because I am
goiugto talk of Listing. But I edi
you to witness today that I btlieve Len
is for a more d-finite purp se. It i
the duty of every Christian man and
woman here to have only one object i>
view, on matter of what denomination,
namely: the er&dicatton of all that is
evil iu our nature and the exiention
and strengthening of r 11 our g oduess.
This is the meaning of Lent.
“If you arc going to go to church dur
ing Lent becauso you think your art
compelled to, w : tb sad f*ces and dis
agreeable looks, d->n’t I beg of you, bu
slay at home and read your Bible*
there. But on the contrary, if you
realize that you go to the church for
help and stiength to observe this sea
son, which has been observed by the
church for hundreds of years pa.t, and
you are in your simple way trying to
follow in the Lotpsthof the Mas
ter, go and you will find help ready for
you. It is only this way the season car
be observed properly. I charge you,
‘when ye fast be not aj hypocrites,’
Don’t be guilty at the time ol
your most solemn ser
vice of that crime, hypocrisy,
the only crime which walks alone am*
seen save by God alone. Tae lowest
thing a Cl ristian man or woman can do
is to be a hypocrite.”
‘ The basest, lowest, meanest persoi
on the face on the earth is the man win.
pretends to be a man of Christianity
and in his heart t - be a servant of th<
devil. A hypocrite is not a man of tht
Christian church and if there is om
man on the face of the earth whom w<
can say is not wanted in the Chris
tian church, it is the hypocrite. If you
be Honest men and women then th
church wants you because yon are hon
est, and wants to lead you to something
better, and lead you forward for the
benefit and glory cf Christ, youi master
as he is mine.
“There are various reasons why you
might undertake to fast. The reasons
might be economical or business. If s
man is compelled to fast on account- of
his health or business don’t, ob, don’s
deceive yourself with the idea that it is
for the glory of God. But th -re are
other reasons, They are spiritual. **
* * * And lot Lent be a real ty to you,
my fries, da, and don’t, oh doit, be a
hypocrite.”

H* is Still Sick.—Mr. W M. Drap
er, who waa hurt some time ago while
playing on the campus is down sgain
with his arm which he released too soon
from the splints.
Atlanta, Ga., March 3.—This morn
ing’s Constitution omtained the ac
count of a sad occurr< noe in Atlanta.
It ran as follows:
Four gleaming pistole flashed in the
dim gaslight
Tt ree sin ti fired simultaneourly.
At d the son of a prominent veter
inary surgeon, in the guise of a burg
lar, fell oitrUlly wounded.
He was Harry Gray, a young man
nineteen year, of age, and the ton of
Dr. J. M. Gray, ana a boy who has
hitherto borue an excellent reputa-
ti«D.
The affair happened between S - n l 10
o’clock last nighr, at the home of Mrs.
W. B. Cox, at thj corner of Ivy and
Baker streets.
The lady h»r.*eif is at present out of
the city. The bouse has been left in
the care, dnring her absence, of a Mrs.
Waters.
Lastevenirg Mr*. Waters attended
church near by, carefully turning out
all the lights as she 1- ft. The services
were over at 9 o’clock and the lady re
turned immediately home.
She started up the long winding walk
leading t > the house, which ia set f r
back from the street. As she neared
the steps, she drew back startled.
A light waa seen moving about the
house. Retracing her itep-, Mrs. Wa
ters tread noiwksaly over tue grass to
the rear yard and notified the butler,
whom she found sitting up awaiting her
return, of the strange discovery.
Tbe man quickly went to the frontr>f
the spacious dwelling an-1 he, too, saw
the light flashing about np stairs.
By Mrs. Waters the neighbors, too,
were notified, and Mr. J. T. Williams
immediately telephoned to police heed-
quarters for an officer.
Call Officer Ivey responded in all
haste, and on the sidew.-dk in front- of
:he house found a crowd of excited peo
ple, who quickly informed him of the
rouble.
With tbe aid of Mr. Williams and Mr
Tom Smith the patrolman went to the
rent door at.d started to enter. Ashe
did so some one pulled hia arm and di
rected his attention to a window near
by.
A large pane of glass was brok»n
.hrough which someone bad reachtd ana
knocked ofi the heavy lock with some
sharpe instrument.
One of those present was stationed
there, heavily arm-d to prevent any
exit, at.d ttnn tbe oilier and his two.
assistants p ished their way into the
house.
A careful investig ition was then be
gun.
The first glance at the rooms give
conclusive evidence of a burglarious
visit. The chests and drawers were
open or else drawn al together out and
-efy lying about.
Their contents were scattered in all
directions and presented an unusually
disordt red app araace.
From that, time a c »rtful search was
institute d for the man who bad done
the work. Every nook And corner
d iwnstairs was examined, Officer Ivy
m.d thy two young men with him mov-
ii g about with urawn pistols.
Then they went upstairs. In the
ball the p trolman struck & match
•gainst a door and lit the gas.
Wbat tt md bebir.d the door remain
ed for him to discover later. A thril
of horror afterwaids ran through the
fiames of the young men when they re-
c lied tbe incident.
The door led to a closet a 1 d was tem
porarily passed by, the three men hav
ing their backs to it L-r two or three
minutes.
The rooms were all looked into and
just before the patrolman started back,
Mr. Williams stumbled ov»r the rem
nants of a burned o ndle.
That made them more cautiously in
vestigate. i
Mr Ivy reachfd the dof-r on which he
had struck the match and pulled it open,
as he had done the rest.
As he did so, tbe barrel of a shining
revolver was shoved into his face.
No sooner did it flash than three trig-
g. rs were pulled and three loud shot*
shook the building
The man in tbe closet fe’l in tently
before he himself bad time to fire. Had
Ivy been alone there is hardly any
doubt but that he would have been
killed.
Mr. Willhms started to shoot again
through the cr-ck in the open door, bat
the trembling officer said : /
“Don’t,” snd he dropped the weapon.
The patrolman bent over tbe pros
trate man, who was gasping for. breath.
He was astonished to find his face cov
ered with an ugly, black mask.
It had to be cut before the officer
could draw it off. Taen a startling dis
covery was made.
“Harry Gray,” burnt forth immedi
ately from the men st-nding over him.
“Ye«,” groaned be, “kill me, ob, ull
me. P,ease shoot again. Oh—” and he
gasped as though strangling.
The crowd down tkairs bad rushed
up, and as quickly as possible the younjr
boy was carried into the hail below.
Blood flowed steadily from-a wound in
hi-t neck and immediately preparations
were made to take him home. Gray
lived almost across the the street.
His home is opposite the school house,
at 266 ilvey street. The young man
was carried'there, greeted by a distress
ed family.
He was placed upon a mattress and
his coat .removed and his pockets
searched.
These were placed with the mask and
pistol, a forty-t -ro call-<er.
As the young man then lay back, a
stream of blood spurt d from his neok.
KneCling down over hid’, the boy’s fa
ther, tbe venerable Dr. * Gray, placed
his thumb against the swelling vein.
All the family but be had gone.
In a voic ■ clicked with grief and dis
tress, he murmured, ‘ Oh, H«rry, could
a father have done more for von ?”
Tears fell from his face. The young
man groaned snd begged rto be killed
and put out of the vra>.
Looking into his pale face, the white-
haired f toer con nued in tremu'ous
tones:
“I have talked to you—remonstrated
He shook his bead thoughtfully and
relapsed into silence. An officer was
detail'd on duty at tbe home, ai d all
but he and the father and son left.
A physioian bad been summoned. Dr.
Lawsbe soon came aud found a danger
ous wound. The ball had passed
through the nack, severed an ar erv
and gone out into the young man s
head.
• ‘He’a in a crit cal condition,” whis
pered the di c’or; “can't tel* the result
yet. Must await development.”
But one thing saved Tom Ivey’s life.
Tbe mask on the young man’s face
slipped over his eyes. He started to
adjust it, and then the three shot* were
fired.
That alone, he afterwards acknowl
edged—and it was all he said- prevent
ed hia shooting instantaneonsly.
An<* it was a lucky si p.
Gray is bat ninete*n y*ars of age,and
a very light comp! cted, boyish look
ing young maa. His hair has a whit
i8h color, and he would easily be recog
nized in a crowd.
For sometime he has been working at
the Troy steam laundr .
A more qniet, peaceable, innocen'
young man—to the outvsr world—would
be h.r i to find. Gray has hitherto
borne an almost enviable reputation,
and his “break” will be hailed with uni
versal surprise
Later.
Atlanta, Ga., March 3—11 p. m.—
[Special].—Young Gray is still alive
hut may die at any moment. His phy
sicians entertain little hope of his re-
cov< ry.
