THE AWFUL WORK
LIGHTNING’S
BOLT.
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.

thing. Let Athenians exert themselves

“Coll ’ctioos are hard,” remarked a

Next Wednesday is to be a lively day
in Athens, politically Bpeaking. 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.
It is not believed that the People’s Party
hope to ehet their cauditate for Con
gress in this districb,but he wiltbe nomi
nated as a matter of course. There

Perhaps, it will be some consolation
o Tom Watson, when he wakes up on
tbe morning after the election, to find
>ut he “wasn’t the onliest one” defeat
ed. The Third party stands no more
chance of electing a Congressman from
the Eighth district than do the Repub
licans. The Sixth district will send
Hon. J. J. C. Black, as Watson’s suc
cessor, to Warhington, too. Mark
that.

Acqu6Ta, Ga., June 2.—The prohi

The ordinary, afti r a careful couLt

p tilion before the ordinary will have
authority to issue a call The prohibi

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. Colonel Richard Nevins was
asked if those love letters would be
published when his daughter arrived,
and he responded "certainly. ”
To lireak a Combine.
Trenton, N. J., June 3.—The move
against the Reading coal combine in the
court of chancery Tuesday, will prove
an interesting one. Governor Abbott
said: "I anticipate seeing the greatest
legal contest the state of New Jersey
ever had. I know this monster combi
nation can be broken. ”

COMPROMISING THE LAW.

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

health, and on last Saturday he pur

swallowed it all, dying in terrible ag

Brooklyn, June 3.—Miss Lillie Nor

Valuable Mines Purchased.
Milwaukee, \Vis„ Jane 3.—For a

Vanderbilt of New York, and M. EL
Hanna of Cleveland, of the Chapin Iron
mine, near Iron Mountain, Mich., and
the Menominee Transfer line, which
includes six steamers engaged in the
ore trade between Escambia and Lake
Erie ports. _ The Schlessingers were
forced to dispose of the Chapin mine
and the other properties to Messrs. Van
derbilt and Hanna last year because of
the stringency of the moqey market,
and are now obliged tcrpxy a big bouns
to get them back.

Hallister, a patient confined in the

She tied the stockings together, and
then securing one end arouud her neck

erect and support the Shakespeare Alms
house. The proposition made by the
grand jury meets with favor from the
press and people, bnt it is doubtful if
the legislature can pass a law on the
subject, as the constitution declares
gambling a crime.

A Defaulter Located in Texas.
Knoxville, Tenn., June 3.—Several
months ago EL Meek, then chancery
court clerk and master of Jefferson
county, mysteriously disappeared. His
accouuts were at once investigated and
found to be about $10,000 short Since
then nothing has been heard of him
until a few days since, when a Jefferson
county man who happened to be iu
Austin, Texas, came face to face with
him. When approached, Mr. Meek did
not deny his identity, but frankly ad
mitted he had opened a real estate office
at San Saba, Texas, where he went im
mediately after his flight from Jefferson
eonnty. No effort at settlement has
ever been made; but it ia expected, now
that hu residence has been made known,
that his relatives here, who are promi
nent people, will make up the deficiency.
Meek’s wife is an invalid, and resides at
Dandridge, Tenn.
Storm In Texas.
