FORKED THREE MEN KILLED Gainesville, Gi., June 3.—[Special.] —Tbe lurid lightning played havoc near this place today, and as a result three citizens of this place are lying cold in death, and two more are very danger ously ill. Today James Sweatman, his brother Zack Sweatman, and bis three sons, Walter, Reaves and Tillman, went fibb ing eat on the Chuttahooche river about three miles from this city, at a place known as Strir ger’s ford. About four o’clock a heavy cloud came up and it be gan to rain in te r rents. The cloud was heavily charged with electricity and the lightning’s forked flame leapt back and forth. The five men took refuge under large tree near 1 the banks of the river to wait until the fury of the storm bad passed over, Suddenly a blinding flash came, ttm great oak was riven .to its base by tbe ghting’s stroke ai d all five men were hurled to the ground. For several moments they were per fectly still. The n one of the boys re covered consciousnessAnn had presence of mind to dash water in the faces of tbe others, and another one of the boys come to his senses. But the old man, bis brother and Walter, aged sixteen, were dead. Those who bad been left alive mad' as mnch noise as they could, and attracted the attention of a man across the river who pre c rred a boat and cam to tbeir assistance. The news was carri< d to Gainesville and soon tbe be dies of tbe unfortunate men were brought into the city. They W( re all carpent< rs and citizens of Gainesville, tfhe two b» ys who es caped instant death, were very badly injured themselves, and their condition s serious. All Gainesville was terribly excited over this awful catastrophe. A FORMER ATHENIAN Weds One of Macon’s Charming Daughters- Thursday afternoon at 2 o’clock the residence of Judge M. K. Freeman,!

The Third party will hold a convention in Athens. The purpose is to nominate a candidate for congress from the eighth diotrict, and transact other business.

Tbe date was fixed upon by O dinary Walton this morning, fter completing an examination of tbe prohibition petition Tl e petition, as originally {resented by tbe prohibition Ists, contains 167 i snus. As it stands now after tbe verification, it contains thefignatures of only 284 qu&lifLd vot ers who desired to run tbe county dry The ordinary, afti r a careful couLt found there were 2,277 qualified voters on the tax digest. The lrcal option law requires that < ne-tenth of the qosl itied voters o^he ccunty shall sign lh3 p tilion before the ordinary will have authority to issue a call The prohibi tionists have fif y-six names mere tban the requisite one-tentb, as there are 284 lega’ized pi titioners on their list and all they needed was 228 signers.

BLAINE WILL ACCEPT, SO Says Senator Hate-Bets In New York on His Being Nominated and Elected Find No Takers—A Cabi net Officer Talks. Washington, June 3.—Within the last two days, Mr. Blaiue told a thor oughly reliable Washington gentleman who is not a politician, that his mind had recently undergone a change in re gard to the nomination, and that he would accept if it were offered him. Senator Hale, who nntil recently hue ridiculed the idea of Blntne’s acceptance, says now that he will accept. Hale seems to have gotten a straight tip. Thirty thousand dollars have been de posited in a Washington bank to be cov ered by all corners; $15,000 that Blaine will be nominated, and $15,000 that if nominated he will be elected. Similar bets are standing in New York with no takers. A cabinet officer says that Blaine told Harrison a few days ago that he was not a candidate. This state ment would not prevent oily James G. from accepting the nomination. THE LINE DRAWN. The Blaiue end Harrison Men ere Fairly In the Fight. Minneapolis, June 3.—The contest for the Republican presidential nom ination has fairly begun, and the two factions are vigilant and aggreeisve, with the dividing lines clearly drawn. Nearly a hundred politicans of more or less prominence from all parts of the country are now on the ground, and the Harrison and Blaine people have so far acknowledged the probabilities of the contest as to engage rival headquarters at the leading hotel. J. S. Clarkson, chairman, of the national committed, is recognized as tbe leader of the Blaine forces, and John C. New, gf Indianap olis, is in charge of Harrison’s head quarters. Mr. New has authoritatively announced that Harrison would be placed in nominaUon by Chauncey M. Depew, and that R. W. Thompson, ex- secretary of the navy, would second the nomination on behalf of the state of Indiana, Governor McKinley, of Ohio, iB the candidate of the Harrison dele gates for permanent chairman of the convention. MITCHELL WINS. Florcia Nominates Him by a Ft :ng Vote* v f Ocala, Fla., J JU± 3. -The Call tea have been overwhelmingly defeated at everj* point. Despite the desperate fight made by the minority, led by St. Clair Abrams, the Duval, Polk and Washing ton county delegations were kept in their seats. The two-thirds rale was adopted, a motion to adjourn was defeated, and Judge Mitchell, at 2 o’clock in the morn ing, was unanimously nominated for governor by a rising vote and and amid wild cheers. No other candidates were mentioned, the opposition yielding to tbe people’s role gracefully, and harmony now pre vails. Mitchell was a farmer boy, and says he is of the people, for the people, with the people. No rings, no corporations, no free passes for him. The delegates were np all night. Bnt the war is over and all are in harmony. Judge Mitchell favors tho unlimited coinage of silver. To Flcht the Father-In-Law. New York, June 3.—According to a local paper, Mrs. James G. Blaine, Jr., will take a prominent part in the forthcoming campaign if her distin guished father-in-law is nominated at Minneapolis. She is now abroad, but will sail for home June 28. She will fight Mr. Blaine throughout the cam paign.

Knoxville, Tenn., June 3.—"It’s done; I’m going home.” These were the words spoken by Michael French to bis horrified wife as he lay writhing on bis bed (lying from strychnine adminis tered by his own hands. French was one of tne county’s wealthiest residents, a prominent Allianceman, and resided six miles iu the country. Mr. French’s mind has been impaired of late from ill health, and on last Saturday he pur chased twenty grains of strychnine while in Knoxville, which lie secreted in his barn.
