and says it is one of the growing towns
on tbe G., C. & N. R. R. It is a splen

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.

an Aged Pilgrim.
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.

mourn his death,Messrs. B, F. and R

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. ”

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

Gresham would vote for Cleveland, h-

“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

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.

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.

VANDERBILT SUED.
Captain Jacob Charged with Having Sep

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 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’.
