ON SUSPICION.
TWO NEGROES ARRESTED MON
DAY IN ATHENS.
MURDER THE CHARGE
That Is Marked up Against Them-The
Man Murdered Was Found on the
Railroad Track at Bradley’s
Station.
When the Macon & Northern train
rolled into the depot Monday 'at noor,
Policemen Rose ‘and Jones •were there
to take charge of two .negroes who bad
been ‘‘nabbed” at Bradley’s Station
just below Monticello.
The two negroes were brought to the
station house, and Conductor Ayer, of
the M. & N. road swore out a warrant
against them, arresting them on a sus
picion of the charge of murder.
The negroes gave their names as John
Bufllagton and George Vaughn, and
vigorously denied any knowledge of
any murder that had bsen committed
Conductor Ayer’s story was as fol
lows:
“Sunday night the body of an un
known negro was found on the track of
the Macon & Northern road just below
Bradley’s Station, and upon the inves
tigation of the case the coroner’s jury
found that the dead negro had been
killed by a train. The body was not
mutilated, however, and was lying on
the track in a position where it would
have been impossible for the train to
have passed over it without cuttihg it
to piece?. The only wound was a deep
gash on the back of his head, the skull
being crushed in.
Monday morning the tram passed
Bradley’s and these two negroes got on
and acted in a suspicious manner. Con
ductor Ayer at once telegraphed Ath
ens aud on the arrival of the train they
were put iu custody.
The policemen searched the negroes,
but found only two knives and a pack
of worn and soiled cards.
They will probably be carried back to
Bradleys at once.

Two Trains Meet on the M. & N. and
Try to Pass Each Other.
There was a wreck Monday on the
Macon & Northern road just below the
gas works aud the conse quence was that
both the engines are badly damaged
The passenger train on the M, & N.
came in from Mscon and the engineer
started up to the “y” to turn his engine
and tender around, preparatory to go
ing back to Macon last night. The en
gineer, Mr. Calloway, had only been
here a short time, and did not know of
'the schedule of the Northeastern train
and went up the track at a very lively
gait. The freight train No 45, was run
ning on schedule time, and seeing the
engine and tender of the passenger
train coming around the curve, put on
the breaks and was nearly at a stand-
s ill when they came together.
The two engines came together with
a crash, breaking the cow catchers and
and tearing a bole in the front of each
boiler aud driving the tender of The
freight train back into a car loaded
•with cotton.
Fortunately no one was hurt much,
only one of the firemen receiving a few
slight bruises. The engines and ten
ders are nearly a complete wreck, and
it will be some time before they can be
put in running condition.
A large crowd collected to see the
wreck, but the railroad men were equal
to the occasion, and all trains will run
in cn time.

Taking Calomel for Quinine for Neu
ralgia.
Mi. John Moore, our popular gro
cery man, has been suflering very
badly for several days with neuralgia,
and his doctor told him to take quinine
to ease the pain. Mr. Moore went to
the drug store and asked for calomel
with empty capsules in which to put it.
The druggist put up tbe amount of
calomel asked for and put in the re
quirecl number of capsules. He went
home and had them put up in the cap
sules and commenced taking them, and
did not receive any. benefit from tbe
medicine but seemed to get worse, and
kept taking the capsules and continued
to get worse until a doctor was
sent for, and on -examination of the
medicine it was found to be calomel
instead of quinine tbat he bad taken
He had swallowed 130 grains of calomel
which salivated him very badly. Mr.
Moore will pull through his mistake
and will be more careful in tbe future
in calling for bis medicine.

Hull street about voting the third party
ticket. The Democratic brother-in-law
asked the third party brother-in-law if
he was going to vote for Weaver for

law answered that he would. Tbe
Democratic brother-in-law replied that
if he voted for Weaver, who had done
all he could against the South and the
Confederate soldiers, then the third
party brother-in-law should never put
his foot in his house. And then came
the fuss.

A HIGH COMPLIMENT
Paid to Rev. Luther R. Gwaltney, of
this City.
The Edgefield (S. C.) Chronicle of the
27th inst., pays the following high
tribute to Rev. Luther R. Gwaltney, of
this city:
“That was a pure, holy and happy
hour we all spent with tbe Rev. Luther
Gwaltney on Thursday evening of last
week. To be sure, for the greater part
of the time, he was in the pulpit, but
even then our souIb were close up
around him. And he looked at cswith
bis old ineffably tender smile and said
“Sing me one of the songs of Zion. 1
And we remembered the Zion of long
age, and took down onr harps and
sang: “How Finn a Foundation,
“All Hail the Power of Jesus Name!
and “There is a Fountain Filled with
Blood. ’ Our soals sang no less than
ourlipB; and tbe good man with tears
welling up into bis eyes, said: “If
forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right
band forget her cunning.” It was but
an hour with Lather Gwaliney, but
was a'precious one. It did us all good
The water works bonds were floated
Monday at noon.
And will be delivered to the pur
chaser in a few days.
They were duly adveitised and yes
terday the fiaance committee, consist
ing of Messrs. A. H. Hodgson, W. D.
O’Ft rrell and E. I. Smith, met to con
sider the bids ar.d mske their award.
After looking into the bids the com
mittee decided to sell the bonds to the
Atlanta Trust and Banking Company,
The bid of this company was on the
entire lot at par. The bonds run for
thirty years and bear five per cent, in-
erest- The interest is payable semi
annually in gold, and one thousand
dollars of tbe principal is to be paid
each year for twenty-nine, years and the
entire issue to be taken up within
thirty years.
The Atlanta Trust and Banking Com
pany is one of the strongest companies
in the State. Mayor W. A. Hemphill,
of Atlanta, is president of ttoeCDinpiny,
and Mr. H. T. Inman is vice president.
Mr. Alonzo Richardson is cashier.
This company is young but powerful.
It is well officered and is doing a mag
nificent business. It is will backed by
capital and is a strong and solid insti-
ution.
Speaking yesterd v afternoon with
Capt. James While, cashier of the Na
tional Bank of Aden?, a reporter
learned that it was his opinion that the
sale of the bonds at par was a very ad
vantageous one.
The finance committee is to be con
gratulated on its successful placing of
the bonds, and the award will meet the
commendation of the people.
Mr. Neely, the contractor, will begin
work on the construction of the new
works shortly after the presidential
election.
Everything is working smoothly and
Athens will have her new system of
water works by next July.

them.
Mrs E. K. Lumpkin has decidedly
tbe largest display of flowers and veget

This was brought about by a misun
derstanding between the Senate and

Tbe General Assembly was

Messrs. W, C. Glenn and C. D. Maddox,
of the Atlanta bar, preferring charges
against Judge George F.
Gober, of the Blue Ridge circuit, in re

which they had been summoned to

which was published in several papers

Is Being Made a Grand Success.
Macon, Ga , Oct. 31.—The State Fair
is a great success, and the farmers and
people generally are happy over the re
sult. Tens of thousands visit tbe
grounds, and the exhibits far exceed
those at previous fairs. County dls
plays are made by Richmond, Bartow
Worth, Tolbert, Sumter, Floyd, and
Hancock. The stock exhibit fully dou
bles that of former years, embracing
the finest strains. Every department
of the fair is complete, requiring ad
ditional structures to accommodate the
demand. The amusements are varied
and fine. The Elk and Moose race dai
ly is highly entertaining to the crowds.
The four grandest days of the fair are
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday, Nov. 1, 2. 3, and 4 The one
cent a mile railroad rate brings great
crowds.
GEORGIA’S FAIR.
The Best Showing Ever Known in the
State’s History.
Macon, Ga., Oct. 31.—Never in the
history of Georgia has there been so
good a state fair in all the essentials
that make a successful agricultural ex
hibition. Truly the displays made by
the counties of Bartow and Floyd, Tal
bot, Hancock, Sumpter and Richmond
prove the wonderful agricultural re
sources of our state, and demonstrate
our ability to produce, all the necessities
of a comfortable living.
At a fair like this one, the people can
learn the best methods and means of di
versified farming. For this reason, the
attendance is always large onthe part of
our farmers.
But there is no more gratifying ex
hibit than in the stock department.
The Georgia raised horses, mules, cows
and hogs are as fine as any ever brought
to Georgia, and prove conclusively that
stock raising is a lucrative business, and
should be speedily enlarged.
The fact that Atlanta is the leading
stock market of the south still further
insures success.
But all departments of the fair are
complete, and beyond question exceed
all former exhibits at the State fair,
and afford rare opportunities for pur
chasing. Besides private sales by ex
hibitors, there will be auction sales on
November 2d, 3d and 4th of stock, farm
produce, preserves, jellies, etc.
* Tha four biggest days are Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday and Fridar'of
this week. Great crowds attended on
the closing days of last week, and as the
railroads give a one cent rate, tens of
thousands will crowd the grounds tho
last four days of this, Georgia’s biggest
agricultural fair.
THE ROUMANIA WRECKED.
Lost on Her First Trip After Being Re
leased from Quarantine,
* Lisbon, Oct. 81.—The steamer Rou-
mania, which was so long kept at quar
antine in New York, went ashore here
in a severe gale and alt. on board were
lost.
Seven bodies in a nearly nude condi
tion have been washed ashore, and the
fact that they were unclothed was taken
to indicate - that mnny people on board
were in their berths when the steamer
struck and had no chance to dress them
selves.
The place where the steamer went
ashore is moqt difficult to get at in
stormy weather, and, as the sea is so
high, it is impossible to say with cer
tainty whether she has broken np or
not.
Her decks must he gone, however, for
her light cargo has apparently floated
out or her and been washed ashore. As
Boon as the news of the wreck spread,
great crowds of people, many of whom
came from places a considerable distance
inland, gathered along shore and seized
upon wreckage as it came to land
Two men saw something floating in
the water and that they thought would
prove a valuable prize, and rnshed into
the surf to seize it. Just as thoy were
abont to grasp it they were picked up
by a rolling wave ana carried out into
the water where they were drowned in
sight of hundreds on shore. .

So Hard and Fast Rules Can Be Laid
Down for Everybody—Individual Pe
culiarities Must Determine tho Partic
ular Food Needed for Each One.
Whether the old saying that a man’s
heart is reached through his stomach is
or isjiot a true one, it is a scientific fact
that the stomach is a highway to the
brain. The exhilarating influence of a
good dinner is sometimes shown in
brilliant impromptu speeches, without a
doubt. The cook is responsible for
many of the accidents, the failures and
successes of life. Not long ago a well
known lawyer in summing up a case
acquitted himself so wretchedly that the
jury promptly brought in a verdict
against his client. The lawyer after
ward acknowledged that hot muffins at
breakfast were responsible for his hav
ing lost the ease. They made him ir
ritable and insolent.
Curious to know upon what sort of
food men of note do their best work, I
recently interviewed some of the lights
of the medical profession, law, com
merce, theology and society.
Genial Dr. George F. Shrady, Presi
dent Grant’s stauch friend, declares
that he must vary his food in order to
develop and nourish, separately and col
lectively, the organs of his body.
“I have an excellent digestion and can
take all kinds of food without feeling
any discomfort,” said he, "but 1 believe
tbat the brain is most nurtured by sleep
and rest. If we gratify our intellectual
tastes we are feeding the brain vastly
better than by any sort of material food,
and consequently obtain better Results.
“A friend once had as a patient a
voung author, who had been recom
mended to follow a strict diet of pump
kins. On this sort of fare he wrote a
novel. Well, the offspring of pumpkins
—roasted, boiled and stewed—is still
looking for a publisher to launch it on
an unsuspecting public!
“No one kind-of food exclusively is
good for the ordinary man. ‘To be
healthy, wealthy and wise,’ as the old
maxim goes, study the likes and dislikes
of your stomach and regulate your diet
accordingly (as I do)and all will go well.”
Judge Roger A. Pryor laughed heart
ily when told that every briefless lawyer
in town was anxious to know whether
his spirited speeches might be attributed
to squab, lobster or partridge.
Tell them from me,” said Judge
Pryor, “tbat 1 am extremely fond of
birds and dainties generally and that
lobster a laNewburg is a toothsome dish
I don’t despise and that my brain works
best when I’m free from indigestion.
Tell these young men to follow the old
Roman maxim and secure for tliein-
ielves ‘a sound mind in a sound body.'
Hot breads, salads, ices and sweets
form part of my daily menu, and as they
give my body strength 1 am able to do
my allotted share of mental labor. The
body must first be ministered to by food
and exercise, and then tbe mind will
soon be ripe for cultivation. The rea-
8i u, memory and imagination must ea.ch
be nourished with the food it requires—
logic, law, mathematics, poetry or art.
Upon the idiosvncracies and constitu
tional peculiarities of each man depend
the kind of food he assimilates.”
Dr. H. P. Loomis thinks men pay too
much attention to tlie specific uses of
certain foods.
Look at the enormous sale of phos
phates and so called brain foods,” said
he. “There is nothing iu them. If in
stead of wondering whether this, that or
the other is good for him a man would
simply follow tho dictates of his owu
appetite we would be much better off.
Nature places a safeguard upon excess
by creating the sensation of satiety.
“When 1 have eaten some rich food
that causes me some annoyance 1 take a
horseback ride or other pleasant exercise
and rid myself of the ill feeling, and in
the future avoid that Welsh rarebit or
venison that caused the trouble. Rest
is really the best tonic for tbe brain. In
two words 1 .would give this prescription
for happiness—‘Avoid worry’.”’
A prominent member of Sorosis, a
really brainy woman, declares that the
amount of food people require or think
they require is largely a matter of
habit. Said she: “It is possible to train
the stomach to do with very little or to
make its requirements border on the
margin of gluttony. When the hunger
is satisfied, brain achievements depend
upon heredity and environment, and to
them must be attributed all success or
failure. The gardener who only cares
for the blossom of his plant instead of
directing his efforts to the root, will
have but sorry fruit as a reward. Let
mankind look to their physical perfec
tion, and the mental and moral are sure
to follow.”
The Rev. Dr. Henry Van Dyke, the
author and clergyman, believes the
brain to be touchingly appreciative of
aU kindness shown to the stomach, and
sullen and unmanageable when the lat
ter is oppressed. At the same time al
lowance must be made for individual,
tastes.
“My food,” he said, “must be taken
at regular intervals and Vie largely of
the farinaceous "kind, while yours, pos
sibly, may be taken when aud as yon
chose. A single sandwich of caviar
would incapacitate me for several hours.
So, 1 say, be kind to the machinery of
the body. After all, the best diet for
the brain is a constant variety in the
quality and qnantity of onr intellectual
food.”
There seems to be no particular edible
which holds a magic power over “the
realm of thought but by selecting food
with a view to digestibility’. In indi
vidual cases the body is aided -in per
forming its various functions, and the
brain, with its other organs, is thus en
abled to discharge its duties properly as
