Some days since an invitation was
forwarded to General Adlai E. Steven
son by Dr. H. H. Carlton, urging him
to visit Athens the latter part of this
month, and if possible meet Weaver on
the stump here.
Those who were anxious that he
should come have eagerly awaited his

It came yesterday in the following

A Fatal Collision.
Waverly, O., Sept. 7.—A collision
occurred on the Norfolk and Western
railroad, four miles south of here, near
Pibeton, between a through freight and
the express No. 1, running from Ashland

curve under full headway, and both en-
ines were totally demolished. William
f. Foy, living at Columbus, fireman on
the express, had his right leg crashed
and died soon after. Several passengers
received painful wounds. Besides the
loss of the engines, a baggage car and
five freight cars were completely demol

MORE CHOLERA.
Yellow Flag9 Floating From Quar
antined Vessels at New York,
New' York, Sept. 9.—A dispatch re
ceived here from quarantine at 9:80 a.
m., announces that the quarantined
steamers Normannia and Rugia have
hoisted the yellow flag up again and that
the same signal is flying from Hoffman
Island. These signals indicate that there
are more cholera cases on board the Nor-
mannia, Rugia, and on Hoffman Island,
for it was agreed between the health
officer and the commanders of steam
ships that the yellow flag was not to be
hoisted unless as a notification that addi-
tsonal cases of cholera were discovered.
The record for Wednesday was eight
fresh cases among the crew of the Nor
mannia, and two more cases among the
steerage passengers of the same ship.
Consequently, since cholera arrived here,
there have been thirty-one cases of sick
ness from that disease, and eight deaths
from the same cause at this port. It
will be noticed, however, that this is not
an alarming state of affairs, considering
that there are about twenty-seven steam
ships detained either at the upper quar
antine or anchored in the lower bay at
the cholera anchorage.
It will also be seen that the dreaded
scourge has been almost entirely confined
to the crew of the Normannia and that
strobers of that vessel seem to be-the
greatest sufferers.
Eight of the steamer crew, all strong,
hearty men, were removed from the ves
sel and transferred to Swinburne island.
The doctor would not say that these
men were suffering from cholera, but ad
mitted that they had diarrhoea and other
symptoms that were very suspicions. It
is safe to say that the transfer of these
men to the pest island would not have
been made had not the health officers
been mortally certain that the disease
was cholera.
And now comes the moq£_ serious and
significant part of it. These eight men
wno were taken from the Normannia in
agony had only the day before been
taken back to a shin after a twelve hours’
stay on Hoffman Island where they were
scrubbed, fumigatedand disinfected with
all possible thoroughness. Along with
some five hundred others they \frere taken
back to the Normannia in apparently ex
cellent health and the following day
were prostrated with Asiatic cholera or
something very like it.
One of the health officials spoke of
these new oases rather lightly, as if they
were of little importance, and not the
cholera at all.
“It was all the result of washing these
fellows," he said, laughing. “The shock
of such an unfamiliar experience'was
too much for them. Yon can develop
pretty much any disease by treating
these unwashed immigrants with water.
They caught cold, rot cramps and then
diarrhoea, and that is all there is to it.”

A Man Kills His F.tther-in-Law Whose
Daughter Finishes the Murilerer.
Indianapolis, Sept. 9.—A special to
The News from Bloomington, Ind.,
Bay8:
A terrible affray occurred at Payne,
in this county, ten miles east of here, in
which two men were killed, one at the
hands of a son-in-law, and the other by
the enraged daughter of the victim.
Shortly after midnight Richard
Wright and his daughter were awaken
ed by a shout a short distance from the
house. The man recognized the voice
as that of his son-in-law, Dole Jndah.
He went to the door and started to the
fence, when the shot was fired by Ju
dah. Wright ran into the house, se
cured an ax and started toward Judah,
when a terrific scuffle ensued. The old
man was shot three times, once in the
head and twice in the neck.
During the struggle, and while Jndah
was on Wright, the old man called for
his daughter to knock Jndah off with
the ax, that he had dxot him. The
daughter secured the ax just as Judah
shot the last time. She strnck Judah a
terrific blow on the back of the head,
killing him instantly, and both men lay
dead on the grass.
Jndah was in Bloomington late at
night, and was drinking heavily. He
bad bad trouble with his wife that af
ternoon, and it is supposed he went to
the father-in-law’s house with the in
tention of killing the old man and also
his wife, but the wife was not there.
Wright was abont 60 years old, and
Judah 85 years old and a hard character.
Into Voluntary Exile.
New York, Sept. 7.—A well known
physician of New York city went into

Swinburne island. He is Dr. Byron, the

lecturer at the Loomis laboratory. He is
inclined to take a jfavorable view of the
situation, and thinks that the trouble at
quarantine will be over in probably five
or six weeks.

AN OLD CONFEDERATE
Writes About the Third Party Candi-
didate for Senator.
Editor Banner : Mr. J. C. Anderson
of Rockdale county, Third party candi
date for Senator, will be in Athens on
the 25th or 26th inst. He seems veiy
confident of carrying Rockdale and Oco
nee counties and a good vote from all
of the counties composing his district,
and says he is bound to be elected.
“Cay” was too gallant a Confederate
soldier to be caught in company with
such men as Weaver, Post & Co., and
many of his old comrades who ore scat
tered over the district will regret hav
ing to cast their ballot against their old
comrade. Personally “Cay” is one of
the writer’s warmest friends, and it is
with great sorrow and deep regret we
see “Cay” wandering and straying
from the good old Democratic ranks.

Horrible Fate of an Employee of Sens
Brothers’ Circus.
Maysvillb, Ky., Sept. 9.—The mo3t
horrible tragedy ever witnessed here
occurred during the street parade of
Sells’ circus. Among the attractions
was an open cage, in which were dis
played a huge tiger and its trainer, a
man known as “Animal George,” a res
ident of Columbus, O. The day was
very hot, and the parade, owing to the
roughness and activity of the streets,
was exceedingly wearisome. It is sup
posed that thesis trials drove the beast
to madness.
Without warning, the huge creature,
with a horrible scream, sprang upon the
keeper, knocking him prostrate. In
stantly it began tearing at his head and
face. The wretched victim yelled in his
agony and fought furiously, but could
do nothing. Spectators fled screaming
from the scene, while the showmen ran
to the spot and sought by all the means
in their power to rescue the wretched
man, bnt without effect, until he had
been mangled beyond recognition. The
skin and flesh are all off his face i n great
strips, bones all over his body are
broken and his body presents a sicken*
ing appearance.

New Orleans, Sept. 9.—Corbett ap*
peered in “After Dark,” at the opera
boise here.
President Noel banded him a check
for i 25,000. The champion was given
an ovation. Corbett replied briefly, but
made no allusion to the man he had de
feated until somebody in the audiem
shouted—“Sullivan ie a duffer.”
Quick as a flash the new champion
turned whence the voice had proce-'ded^
and exclaimed:
“No man ever told Sullivan that to
h*s face, and no man would behind his
back.”
His reply was received with a volley of
cheers.
Corbet bears his honors modestly,
Congratulatory messages from all par

Australia have been flowing on him all
day. The number is scmewhi t over one
thousand, and are still cpming.
