V kbici.es Collide.—Saturday as Mr. Will Lea, of High Shoals was driving to Athens, bis buggy was run into by a wagon with a couple of Third partyitea in it, who bad evidently imbibed rather too freely of the ardent. The buggy was damaged considerably, but no one was hurt. I Timers on the' Fines Collected. As tbe old college bell tolled the hoar | of 10 yesterday morning His Honor Mayor Tuck marched up the steps of the connoil chamber in a very straight forward and steady manner. He found several of the old timers on hand and all in good keeping for tbe race. Allie Richardson had not done mnoh, but for wbat little he bad done a fine was deposited for sidewalk purposes John Booker, as bard looking a negro boy as can be found, said “I ain’t guilty.” He had talked very badly and for bis talk the mayor touched him for *15.00. " Perry Simpkins, like all good darkies sgid he was gnilty and only dished np $5 00. Lucius Clemens, a little boy had got drunk, eaid he found the whisky. Tnis the mayor didn’t believe, as he said that people might lose their money and pocktt knives, but their whiskey— never. Lucius was let oil for future r. Terence. The police will try to find where be found the whiskey. The Johnson family, from Lucinda down to Burges, was up, but by the witness who reported the case, they were all dismissed. E i England was fined $10, not so much for what he had done, bat for the place be was at. John Dixon plead guilty to getting a little drinky on some of the pure dis pensary whiskey. He tore up some of the furniture in the station bouse, and for this tbe mayor pinched him for $5, and told John to go and drink no more. This closed the entertainment and all that could di so, walked up to the hief’s table and cashed their accounts. Tutt’s Pills never disappoint the in valid.

THE LADIES MEET And Talk the Matter Over—Their Lot Has Been Paid for and a Good Sum is Over for a Building Fund—A Meeting This Week- UPON THE GOLDEN STRAND Five Fores Growing.—Mr. W. J. Hardeman is just in from Five Forks, and says it is one of the growing towns on tbe G., C. & N. R. R. It is a splen did cotton, new el ire 8 are* being built, and two gins are in operation that turn out a bale of cotton every 30 minutes. Splendid schools and good citizens are in the town. I of Got It Right.—In one of the schools of our city, questions are given to the young ladies, and tbe questions have to be answered on Monday. One of tbe young ladies was asked to give tbe greatest political event of the last month. The answer was, “Weaver leaving Georgia on the quality of eggs.” Another was asked if the Third party had any center. “No center nor cir- 0 inference,” was the answer. Fight With a Stallion.—There was quite a battle between a horse trader and a stallion yesterday morning. The horse had gotten out of the stable and had goue to where the cows were fed, and run them off and took charge of the food. His owner got a whip and at tempted to make the stallion leave and go back into his stable. Theiiorse showed fight and ran at his owner in a terrific manner. The whip was put on him at a lively rate, but it did not do much good until after he had eaten up a'l in sight. When Baby ivas tick, wo gate her Castoria.

Uncle Peter Culp is dead. This will carry to many hearts today a feeling of sorrow and sadness, for in Athens all knew and cherished with kindly memory the acquaintance of the aged pilgrim who has completed his earthly journey and go home to his re ward. Mr. Culp had been sick for some time. The weight of nearly eighty years rest ed upon his shoulders, and old age has tened his march towaid the tomb. Be died Koaday afternoon at three o’clock in the full possession of his faculties, prepared and willing to go. He real ized that death was upon him, and made all necessary provisions for bis funeral, going so far as to signs bank oheck for the amount he wished to be spent as funeral expenses. Mr. Culp was one of our oldest citi zens, naving bccnjborn in 1813, and be ing in his eightieth year. He moved to Ather s in 18G0 and since that time had been an energetic worker and good citizen.- He joined the Baptist church over forty-five years ago and Tn s lay hfe funeral services were conducted from tbe Second Baptist church, in East Athens at 3 o’clock. By reqiest of the deceased, Rev. SI lison D. Stone wi.l preached the funeral sermon, assisted by Rev. B. F. jylliot- Mr. Culp was especially beloved by the young people, of whom he was very fond. He was an honest man in tbe highest acceptation of that term, des pising all shams or deceits. Mr, Cu’p leaves four children to mourn his death,Messrs. B, F. and R K. H. Culp, Mrs. E. L. DUtery, and Mi srAlton Bisbi p. The Industrial Home is not yet four years old, bnt i(a history is well known to the people of Athens. How it started with a small number of members and without means. How it has stretched ont the circle of its in fluence untjl it now wields a giant in- flueaoe for good in our community. How it started the movement to pur chase a lot and how it was paid for How it stands today as a charitable in stitution of which Athens is proud and which she could ill aff-rd to lose. The Industrial Home is in a flour ishing condition. Tbe ladies who have its management in charge met Monday and talked over the business affairs of the Home with some of the gentlemen who are directors of the institution. The meeting developed tbe fact tha 1 the lot on Broad street next to Dr. S C. Benedict’s residence, has been paid for, and the Home thns has a place upon which to erect its new building. Over fonr thousand dollars are in the treasury, which in itself makes a good fund upon which to start the new building. And the building will there fore be commenced at tbe earliest day practicable. The ladies will hold a meeting in a few days to discuss this matter more thoroughly. The Indies are espec’ally anxious to re\ive the interest in tbe home formerly taken by honorary members among the gentlemen of the city. They urge every one who has belonged as an hon orary member to return, and those who have never been honorary members to become so at once. The ladies have bad recently many applications for work, but oo account of their present surroundings have been unable to accommodate them. They are very anxious to erect their new building, and tbe aid of the peo pie cl Athens will to highly appre ciated. Thirty-Three Homestead Men to An swer for the Crlmo- Pittsburg, Penn., Oct. 4.—Nothing done since the first trouble at Homestead, except possibly, the attempt on the life of H. C. Frick has caused more talk than the act of Chief-Justice Paxson in jggninfl warrants for the arrest of thirty, three Homestead men charged with treason. This is the first time that a charge of treason has been wrought in any State for acts arising from a strike or labor trouble, and it is the talk among the attorneys that it certainly is proper that the great industrial State of Penn sylvania should he the first to settle this question as to whether armed resistance to the law is treason. All the judges of the supreme court now present in the city consulted over the cases in their chambers in the court house. District Attorney Burleigh and P. C. Knox were sent for, and held a long consultation with the chief justice, after which the justices again consulted, and then District Attorney Burleigh and Mr. Knox were instructed by the chief justice to prepare the informations and County Detective Beltzer ordered by the chief justice to make the infor mation, and the chief justice signed the warrants for the accused. The most novel part of the cases will be their subsequent disposition. The Chief Justice will hear the applications for bail, and before the cases go to the C d jury be will call that body before and deliver to it a special charge on treason, fully defining the crime and commenting on the cases. Should true Mils be found, a proceeding never seen before will occur. Chief-Justice Paxson is an ex-officio Judge of the Court of Oyer and Term iner, and will sit in that Court for Al legheny County and try the cases. This will indeed be a novel and. heretofore unknown thing, and will attract the attention of the world, and make th$ cases by reason of their peculiar circum stances, of world-wide notoriety. Messrs. Brennan and Cox, attorneys for the strikers, are highly indignant over what they term persecution of the defendants, and made some very uncom plimentary remarks about the cases and those engaged in prosecuting them. They claim to nave no fear about the outcome, and say it will not be possible to make treason out of the acts of the advisory committee. They hinted that the long contemplated suits for treason against the Carnegie people would now be poshed. O’Donnell, Critchlow and Clifford, three of the accused, are now in iail, making nine already under arrest. ” ENGINE AND BOILER THROWN HUNDREDS OF FEET IN THE.AIR. ONE NEGRO HURT.

GRESHAM GROWS. CAPTAIN WILLIAMS RETIRES. , _ _ , _ .. 1 The People Respect a Man Who Dares to do Right Chicago, 111., Oct 4.—Is now devel ops that Judge Gresham’s intention to vote for Mr. Cleveland waB known to I several gentlemen in Chicago two I weeks ago, and that he had about agreed to writes letter, defining his position | and giving his reason. Judge Gresham was not at home to those who cslled at his bouse yesterday. < He dined at Judge Lambert Tree’s resi dence last night. Other guest* | were Franklin MeVeagh and. John W Doane. The distinguished jurists per- I sisted ia his determination not to set representatives of the press. Judg. | Tree was asked: *Do you know whether the repor published this morning, that Judge Gresham would vote for Cleveland, h- corrco:?” “Judge Gresham told me,” the ex- minister to Belgium replied “that be intended to vote for Cleveland and to support him. I feel at liberty to make that statement because Judge Gresham has been outspoken about it and it is not a matter of confidence. He states freely his intention to vote for Cleveland.” •Are his reasons personal or polit ical?” “So far as I know, they are not per- JL Last night just after dark the town of 80nal - He8u PP° rt8 Cleveland because Corporations Are Sometimes Not Un grateful. The news came to tbe Banner yester day morning that Captain Williams, agent of the express company would retire from the office, and a reporter at once went to see him. “Ye f ,” said Capt. Williams, “I will retire lrom the express company about the last of this month. 1 have been with this company tbirty-six years, and have been agent at Athena thirty-one years. I thought of resigning my place, and on notifying the company of my intention, they wrote me very com plimentary letters, and proposed to re tire me on half salary for the balanoe of my life.” This is certainly a grand thing for tbe oompany to do, and shows how they appreciate the work and man agement of one of their oldest and best «. ffleere. Captain Williams has no ene mies in this community, and every one will regret to not see his familiar face in in tbe express office. He will nit leave Athens, but purchase a nice little place in the suburbs and live, easy the balance of his life. A SERIOUS DIFFICULTY In Whloh Two Men are Shot. I Winterville was thrown into a state of excitement by a difficulty that occurred between Mr. W. L Tuck, of that place, and John Henry Patterson, a negro man. It is notknown what caused the diffi culty, but the result was that Mr. Tack was shot through the side, and gro through tbe head. Mr. Tack is not seriously won while the negro will probably die.

The Frightful Combat of TWo Painters Over Niagara Fans. Niagara Falls, N. Y.,Oct, 4.—A ter rible life-and-death struggle took place about dusk between two painters em ployed on the Cantilever bridge. It was unseen by those on land, bnt is de scribed by the few witnesses who saw it as blood-curdling in the extreme. A gang of painters had been employed by the railroad authorities to repaint the cables, guys and stays. They were all Canadians. They swung scaffolds at intervals beneath the bridge, and were working on these perilous foot holds about 200 feet above the rapids. One of the men was a French-Canadian from Montreal, named Joseph Greaves. His companion on the same scaffold was William Garnet. While working they engaged in an altercation, in which Garnet lost his temper, grasped a hatchet and threatened to brain Greaves. Their load talk attracted the other workmen, but nobody could interfere. Then ensued a dramatic duel. Greaves grasped Garnet by the wrist to stay his hand, but Garnet was tbe stronger and threatened to throw the other into the seething waters of the river. He pushed him to the edge, when Greaves released his hold on his assailant to save himself from falling, whereupon Garnet struck him three times with the hatchet. All three blows were aimed at the head, bnt Greaves writhed and dodged and was struck twice on the shoulder and once behind the left ear. The last blow staggered him and he fell and would have dropped into the river had he not been caught between two braces. With the blood streaming from his cats he climbed hand over hand to the bridge floor. Garnet followed, hatchet in hand, to complete the murder, bnt wap inter cepted by the other workmen. Garnet, when overpowered, hissed, “The next time I catch yon, I will kill yon.” The wounded man was carried to the Canadian shore, where his wounds were dressed. It is doubtful whether Greaves will live. If he should snrvivethe shock, is believed that he will to a maniac for life. Garnet escaped while others were attending the victim. Canadian officers were Bent after him, but all they could learn was that he had been seen on a Michigan Central freight train. It is supposed that he went to Buffalo and will try to escape through the states. Officers on both sides of the river are warned to keep a lookout for him. He is a sailor and may try to skip by boat.

Lee, at Richmond,” giving as her reason “she Would be forced to meet Miss Winnie Davis, daughter of Jefferson Davis, on that occasion.” Mr. W. F. Findley of this city, wrote to Mr. Cleveland, asking whether this was true. He has received the follow ing reply: Gray Gables, Buzzard’s Bay, Mass., Sept. 27.1893. W. F. Findley, Esq., Gainesville, Ga.: My Dear Sir—I have received your let ter of September 24th. bringing to my at tention the newest falsehood 'which has been circulated on the southern stump for the purpose of prejudicing Democrats against the support of their ticket In this canvass.

Captain Jacob Charged with Having Sep arated a Loving Couple. New York, Oct. 4.—One of the early casee on the calendar of the supreme oourt is an action against old Captain Jacob Vanderbilt, brother of the late Commodore Vanderbilt, brought by hiB daughter-in-law. The suit promises to develop some sensational incidents, arises from the action for separation which Mrs. Mary E. Vanderbilt brought four years ago against her husband, Jacob H. Vanderbilt, a son of the cap tain. Mrs. Vanderbilt is suing the old cap tain for alienation of her husband’s af fection. She claims it was through his father's influence that her husband de- her. There is a lot of letters , the captain to his son and to the , itiff, which will be brought in as evidence on the day of the tnai. Mrs. Vanderbilt asks the court "to grant her $100,000 damages. She considers that Captain “Jake” has caused -her much inisory by his interference with his son and the latter’s subsequent desertion of Will Make a Strong Fight. Cleveland, O., Oct—Hon. Tom L. Johnson, the President of the Brooklyn Street Railway Company of this city, Was nominated for Congress . Saturday liy acclamation by the Democratic Con vention of the Twenty-first District. Mr. Johnson was nominated fonr years nd although he ran ahead of his ; was defeated. Two years ago he j again distancing the other S ididates on the Democratic ticket, is now in a republican district, but is hopeful of a re-election, and it is conceded by the Republicans that he will make a gallant fight EGG THROWING IN RICHMOND. General Weaver Meets with the Same Fate He Did In Macon. Richmond, Va., October 4 —Generals Weaver and Field, Third party candi dates, re peotivcly, for President and vice-Presid-mt of the United States,and Mrs. Lease, of Kansas, addressed a large audience tonight at Old Market ball, composed mainly of D-.mocrats. A goad number of ladies were present. This accompanied with the fact that a lady was to make a political speech for the first time in the history of Rich mond, doubtless accounted for the un usual good attention paid to the speak ers in the bnilding. Bad boys, howev er, on the outside were not so couaidef- The telephone bell rang about one o’clock yesterday and Mr. John Z Cooper asked for a reporter to come at once as there had been an explosion at at Yerby’s old place about three miles from Athens on tfce Danielsvtlle road. A Banner reporter was very quickly at the stable and with Dr. Sorrells who had been called to attend to the wound ed. We went flying out to tbe gin of Edwards and Smith. Every few hun dred yards couriers were met who ask ed the Doctor to go as fast as possible. Arriving at the gin house and found large crowd of whites and blacks and the house wheie the en gine stood a complete wreok. Tne en gine and boiler had been lifted by tbe blast two hundred feet in the air and carried over large oak trees a hutdred yards, falling to the ground it bounced and the engine and boiler .parted strik ing the bouse of Mr. Edwards tbe en gine went through tbe door of the hull breaking it to pieoes. The boiler broke through the weatherboarding of the house knocking nearly all the Bide of the house down, and striking the bed upon which Mrs. Edwards and a little baby only four days old were lying, and a little niece of Mrs. Edwards lying in a orib beside the bed. The bedstead was broken into a hundred pieces and completely demolished. Mrs. Edwards only reoeived a slight wou id on Ih head and the litt'e babe only a slight scratch on the head, the other child was not hurt. Mrs. Smith, an old lady, tbe mother of Mrs. Edwards, ran into the room and seeing the terrible condition of affairs fainted, and Mrs. Edwards tried to get off of the broken bed to as sist her mother. Mr. Edwards and sev eral others oame up and picked them up and carried them into another room. The reporter next visited the engine house, and before we got there found where one of the large wheels had got loose from the engine while it was in tbe air and the belting banging in the top of an oak tree. Here we found Milledge Hampton, a negro b*y about 18 years of age, tbe fireman, at the e - gine. He must have been standing by the side of the eegine, and letting tbe water get too low in tbe boiler, and taming on cold water, caused tbe ex plosion. He was blown fifty yards down in a field in an opposite direction from tbe way the engine and boiler went. Milledge was lying on a pile of loose oatton, and Dr. Sorrells had him carried to his home only a short distance. The doctor made a careful examination and found that hiB jaw and teg was broken, and that he might be injured internally. Large pieces of bone wjere taken from his jaw, the boy suffering considerably all the time. The doctor thinks his case very critics’. Henry Carrington, n o'.d negro who was having some cottofl- ginned, was having some cotton ginned, was * truck by a piece of tbe flying timber, but not badly hart. It was a 10-horse power engine, and it was thrown so high that a negro a mile distant heard the report and looked and saw the engine and boiler falling The gin bouse is completely broken up. They were doing a good business and large loads of cotton were standing at tbe gin house ready to be unloaded. Tbe dan>8ge io the house and engine will amount to several hundred dollars. Ib was said by old men that it was the worst blow up they had ever seen. Great interest is being token atpres- ent among the gentle sex i-t the offer by tbe state fair of $200 for the moatexpert and graceful equestrienne, the award to be made by competent judges of horse manship. Jute bagging seems to be without a rival this year. Last season and the season before cotton bagging and the substitutes tried to drive it from tbe market. Their efforts were all unsuccess ful, and instead of driving they seem to have been driven from the field. A cotton factor in Savannah said that he had seen nothing but jute bagging so far this season. It is selling at seven cents per pound, and at euoh a figure is beyond competition.
