ATHENS BANNER TUH6DAV MORNING MARCH ». I89t SUSPENDED ANIMATION ARE NOT A GREAT MANY PEOPLE JURIED ALIVE? A CURIOUS CASE RECALLED Where a F'y Blister Worked With ■"■.Great Effect—The Patient Recov ered and Lived to the Age of Eighty-Seven. A few days a^o the Banner contain ed vlie points in a easj ol suspended an imation The nr icle was fully discuss ed on the streets, some pronouncing ta hoax, and others, who li?d witnessed siuiil ir cises, believing t p'ausible. T'lose who have read the papers are familiar with the actor’s sister, who, in N -w Yo k,sbe last few days, has watch- e i by the colli a of her brother refusing ta believe him dead. These tbiugs bring to the mind of a Pannhr reporter acise that rc’ually occuired in Middle Georgia. While therejs nothing rcniutic in,the story, it is something stranger than fiction. The writer has conversed with the sub ject of this article at her home. You will be made acquainted with the young lady of whom we writ**, in her room wh«re she li q lire sick with a wasting fever. She has been for some time hovering be tween life and death, and as the au tumn evening draws to a close, it look- as if this young girl, only sixteen, the idol of fol d parents will,forever close h« r earthly pilgrimage. The shades of n’ght appear, and in tli" glimmer of the lights from an old- fashioned lire-pli-ce, her smile is s**n for the last time, a few gasps and her spirit has lied. Mess* tigers sre hastily dispatched fer a physician and her father. They ar rive about tlie same m< ment, and tin f-nner, after a careful examination, pronounces life ixtinct.

APRIL 2ND SUGGESTED As the Time of Meeting-The Work Be fore the Democracy of the County—It Is no Time for Idle Dreaming— Work Must be Done. The Democrat* of Clarke will organ ize for the coming fray. And they will go into the organiza tion with a determination to do good work. It is important that this meeting should be held at an early date,and that the organization should be perfect and enthuoiastie. Several citizens of Athens were talk ing over this subject yes'erday and they sgreed that Stfurday night week, April 2nd would be a good time to hold a monster rally in the iatei e3t of democ racy. Judge A. L. Mitchell, chairman of the County Executive Committee, and Mr F.M. Hughes, President of the YouDg Men’s Democratic Club, will be teen and the? will probably ar range a date for the meeting. The State of Georgia h democratic, tml she will go democratic this fall, but nevertheless there is work for the lent* crats of Georgi 1 to do. Clake County will do her full part, ind sn earl? organization and a stub born light will sc omplish much. THAT TEXT BURNING. WHOSE EGG IS IT? Interesting Litigation in Sight. >Vho®e erg is it ? W* 11 the courts may have to deter mine that question yet. Yesterday a farmer came along with nen, and meeting an Athens m r- *an .bey soon drove a bargiin, and « hi n was left at the inerc aant’i .tore. The farmer went off saying that hr tru'Ud call by a little later and get tie money. He had hardly gotten out of sigbj k ien the lien laid an egg. The f irmei toon came back and demanded the epg i i addition to his pay for the ben. The merchant paid him far the hen but refused to turn over the «gg to him. This cau-ed much argument and some feeling between the parties. Should the dispute get into the courts, as it seems it will, the case will be on j of intense interest. What The Brunswick Times Thinks. Toe burning of Bev. J. B. Culpep per’s tent in Brunswick brings Kditrr McCook to the f'ont with the following -c rching edit* rial: The burning f Revivalist Culpep per’s tent yesterday morning was a wicked and devilish ouir.ige. The Turns has no means of knowing who t ie parties were by whom the- crime was committed, nor can it fathom the dark end damnable motive which led to it. Why should Mr. Culpiepper be the ob ject of such vengeful wickedness? He c .me to Brunswick upon the iuyita cion of Brunswick peachers and the members of Brunswick chu r ches. He is no tramp goiDg where he is not wanted. He has put himself in touch with the best pet pie so far as he could He has not preached tin, his labors wili not result in making more and worse criminal?. If any mistake has been made by him, it is I he mistake of con -truing moral obligation too l igidly. Is he to l«« the object of wicked aud cow- aril y levenge because he preaches to men sobriety, honesty, pu- ity and re- I'gion, and because he presents to men and communities a high and rigid Stan dard in these things. Brunswick owes it to her goed name to catch the perpetrator of this Crime an 1 rot to let him go unwhipped«.f jus tice. The Times tbiaks the City Coun cil should oiler a reward for his detec tion, arrest, and conviction, and that he people of Brunswick should give to Mr. Culp-pper a spanklrg new tent Elsewhere will be found a list of subscriprion? already made and The Times will, from day to day, acknowl edge others with pleasure. A Subscription L'st. The citiz -ns of Brunswick are mak- ng up the ltss by subscriptions for a new tent. Over four hundred dollars have been fnbscribed. ADJUDGED SANE ANP WILL BE BROUGHT BACK TO GEORGIA. SHERIFF COLLIER LEAVES For New York City—A Theory as to How the Murder Occurred— Farmer’s Father Denies His Son’s Guilt, James Alexander Farmer was ad judged sane by the court of investiga tion in New.York city, and he is now held in that place until the arrival of the Sheriff of Jackson county, into whose custody he «ill be delivered. Sheriff Collier left yesterday morning for New York to take charge of his pris oner and Ir i g him back to Georgia. Mr. Henry Farmer, of Jackson coun ty, was in the city yesterday. He s the father of the alleged murderer. Mr. Farmer s outly denies the guilt of his son and says that a fair and impartial trial .wili demonstrate the truth of his belief. „ There are two other sons, Tom and Bob Farmer,who are indicted for rescue. If the principal is convicted of murder, they get the same sentence he gets; if he iB acquitted, then they are acquitted. The trials of the murder case and the two cases for rescue come off in Au gust, . and will be watched with inter est. A Theory Advanced. There were two tales tc ld at the pre liminary investigation just after the killing occurred. It appears that the three Farmer boys, Drake, McElhan- non, and a boy named Hawks, wore to gether. When they reached forks of the road, according to Hawk’s testimony, Drake went through the field, and Jim Farmer followed him. In a few minutes two pistol shots rang out aud Farmer ran back to the crowd saying: “You ought to have seen him run, I scared him like h—1.” On the other hand, Farmer’s state ment and the testimony of his brother- is tha*. at the forks of the road, Hawks left the crowd and was not seen by them any more until the trial. Between these two strings of testi mony the Stats and the defense will in troduce their theories as to the truth of the matter.

J- Warner, One of the Fathers of the Free Sliver Movement on the Floor of the House Watching: its Fate, Washington, March 23.—The senate on a motion of Mr. Sherman went into exeentive session presumably on the Bearing sea matter. The silver debate in the house showed the intensity of public interest in that great question which now faces the fifty-second congress for solution and threatens to become a political issue in the x presidential campaign of the autumn. The floor and the lobbies too, were well crowded with ex-members and senators, and on the sofa in the rear of the hall was seated Hon. A. J. War ner, well known as one of the fathers of (he free coinage movement. The gentlemen who pinned their hopes on the chances of a compromise at the last hour by the substitution of a bill proving for an international monetary congress are losing courage, and even the indomitable Tracy, of New York, concedes that the free coinage bill will have a clear majority if a final vote is ever reached on its passage. After some unimportant routine pro ceedings the silver bill was taken up. "I desire to give notice.” said Chair man Bland at the opening of the debate, "that at 2 o’clock tomorrow I shall de mand the previous question on the sil ver bill and pending amendments. ” This means merely that the general debate will close at 2 o’clock tomorrow, and that a final vote will .hen be taken on the bill and amendments, nnless its opponents inaugurate a series of filibus tering tactics. INTO MILLIONS. The Standard Oil Company Runs Its Capital Stock. New York, Maroh 23.—The Standard Oil company has filed a certificate with the county clerk of Hudson county, New Jersey, increasing the capital stock of its New Jersey corporation from $3,- 000,000 to $10,000,000. These increases of capital would leave $15,500,000 to be distributed among cer tificate holders, the profits of the Stand ard Oil monopolies are enormous. The exact amount of the income has always been a carefully guarded secret. The trust has never been compelled by law to make fqll reports of its business, hut those who have means of knowing say that the individual profits amount to the attractive figures given above. PREPARING FOR BATTLE. THE DEVIL AFTER HIM. *ev. J. B. Culpepper's Tent Destroyed by Fire In Brunswick. A prominent citizen of Athens Tv- ieived a letter yesterday from Rev. J B. Culpepper, who jit now preaching under the tent in Brunswick. The letter went on to express the Aiudest feelings of the writer for the people of Athens, and to tell of bis re membrance of his meetings here last summer. lie wound up by telling how last cunday night his tent was destroyed by fire In the words of Rev. Mr. Culpepper, ‘ the devil put it into the minds of some of his imps to burn us out, butthe good people cf Brunswick will not only see that the man who set it on fire will be P’operly handled,’but also will see that * “o' her tent equally as good, will bs pro cured.” This tf nt was the one given him by E li.

Nash, appointed by the supreme court as arbitrator to adjust the disputed ac counts between Jacob W. Payne of New Orleans, La., and J. Addison Hayes, Jr., of Colorado Springs, Col., as executors of the will of Jefferson Davis and D. Appleton & Co., has filed a report in favor of the publishers. The executors thought the estate should be benefited with interest of $2,050, money advanced to W. J.

The memoir* were subsequent ly completed by Judge W. J. Tenny, iu the employ of the publishers, with the consent of Davis. GETTING IN-SHAPE TO MANUFACTURE ALL K<NDS OF SHOES. CAPT. TJRUMBY’S FACTORY To Start Running inside of ten Daya— Twenty-Odd Hands Win be Em ployed—Athens Needs More industries Like This, Capt. John W. Bruinby’s shoe factory will be iu runn ; ng order iu less tbaa ten days. And when it starts it will turn out a very huge number of shoes of all kinds. Capt. Brumby was seen yesterday and in a talk with the re porter said: “I have just received the last shipment of my new machin ery, and as soon as it is all in position, the factory will be in a position to be gin work. The maebioery is all new, is of the latest make,'oJ will serye its purpqse most excel ently.” “What kind of shoes will be manu factured, Captain?” was asked by the repo‘ter. “Weil, for the greater part, they will be cheap shoes, nothing more cost ly perhaps than a tb’ee dollar shoe. But we propose to turn out a large number of the best shoes of this grade to be found air. where on the market. “How many workmen do you propose to employ ?” “The capacity cf ibe factor*r is fifty, but at pieieat it will be run by twenty odd workmen. . From time to time this number will be inciea ed.” This is an industry that means a great deal for Athens. It is just such indus 1 ‘ ies the city need'. And they a e coming, gradually it may be but surely. Small nmu-'aciories will make a gar den spot of almost auy place. PC ISON ED COFFEE Makes Mr. Pau’ Romare and Hla Family Sick. Atlanta, Ga., March 23.—P isooed by coflee. Th8t was pie experience* f Mr. Paul R tinare tn 1 bis family yesterday morn ing. and the tireless efforts of a pby i ian was ail that saved them loom it; terrible eff cts. A discharged cook is supposed to be re=p insibld for ir. The family, consisting of Mr. Ro mare, his wife and four daughters, ate breakfast at an esrly hour yesterday, as is their custom. A peculiar taste was noted about the coffee by those who drank i f , but only passing attention was given the inc dent. A few minutes later it \v s no 1* ng r thought of and was al-ogether forgot ten. In a yery short while afterward, however, one of tue young ladies be come violently ill. The family physi cian was hastily summoned. Before he come one after another of the family took sick. The doctor found six patients suffer ing greatly. Almost immediately he saw that they had been poisoned, and with tireless energy set about to relieve them. . He worked hard, yet it was some time before he could pronounce the family entirely out of darger. The proper remedies were applied, and they are now res-ing easily. The sufferers were all the time won dering what bad caused ir. Suspicion was directed to the coffee, and a por tion of it was furnished the physician for examination. He at once saw that it had been tam pered with. The bever, ga’was then submitted to Mr. McCandless, the cheinest. A care ful analysis showed that it had been DRUGGED WITH ARSENIC. The discovery proved a very startling one to i he already thoroughly alarmed household. They were at a loss to ac count fer it and seemed una ble to recall any one who could have committed the dastardly deed that might have ushered six souls into eternity. But further invest’gation threw a cloud of su piciou about the cook. A few days ago she was informed that she was to be discharged and since then she has been unusuallv gruff and ‘ ,; sagreeable.

Austin, Match 23.—Horace Chilton addressed a letter to a caucus of his friends, announcing his wiihdrawel from the race for United St ates senator, thus leaving the field clear for R. Q, Mills to pass f/Om t he lower to the up per branch of congress. Senator Chil ton assigned as hu only tea son for with drawing that he found that the toia; vote of his friends in ibe legislature would not be sufficient!t o elect him, and he did not want to gjembarrass those who stand by him. The ballot for senator resulted as fol lows: lathe Sena'e for Mills, 37; Wash Jones, 1; J. D. Savres, 1. In the House, for MiJls, 93; Chilton, 3; Culberson 1; Barnett Gibbs. 2; J. H.

Throughout the day the fatni- suflered the effects of the ly drugged coffee, and not unt’l last night that any of them felt well enough to be about. - At that time, Mr. Romare and his wife were still confined to their rooms, though resting somewhat easily. The affair attracted the wildest at tention, and the excitement in the neighborhood and the prominence of the poisoned people found expressions of the deepest indignation am >ug their many friends throughout the city. The matter will be thoroughly inves tigated, and the guilty party will un- doubt* diy be made to suffer the conse quences. AN IMPORTANT CASE A Terrific Explosion.

Some few weeks since the name of Judge James R. Lyle, of Athens, was mentioned in connection with the Con gressional race In the Eighth district, and in fact it was the belief of many of bis triends that he would make the race. However, Judge Lyle said to a repor ter yesterday that his health, which had been in a wretched condition for some time past, would not permit his enter taining an idea of running for Con gress, even if it was bis desire so to do. A Fire In the Capitol. Washington, March 23.—A fire oc curred in.the folding room of the house of representatives, which destroyed a large number of public documents, mostly agricultural r* ports and memo rial addresses, which had been prepared for mailing to different parts of the country. The fire department was promptly on hand and soon had the fire J »ything*reasonable, under control. In accomplishing this the office and corridors, which were closely packed with documents, were flooded to the depth of several inches, and the dense smoka caused thereby permeated the entire building, .includ ing the bouse of representatives. It took some time to clear the hall of smoke so as not to interrupt the pro ceedings of the evening session of the bouse. The origin of the fire is un known, but is supposed to have been the carelessness of an employee in neg lecting to distinguish a candle or a lighted cigar dropped on the floor among some loose papeis.
