W. H. Davis was granted a permit to

The question of heating the public
schools was discussed. Alderman Bar-
| row thought it a good idea to remove
the maut.lepieces from the recitation
rooms and build fires in the grates in-
I stead of purchasing stoves. He thought
this best on account of the smallness of
the recitation rooms, which necessitated

There was some discussion as co what

not entirely unanimous or harmonious
on this question. No'definite action was
taken.
Mayor Smith, who presided, read -a
complaint made by a citizen about there
not being a proper safeguard where the
Central railroad crosses Broad street,
and it was suggested to council that a
gate he placed at the Broad street cross-
I j ing to he operated by the lever process
in order to insure safety to pedestrians
and vehicles. The mayor stated that a
bad accident was narrowly averted some
time ago at the crossing, and seemed to
favor the erection of a gate. The mat
ter was referred to the committee on
railroads.
Several other complaints of various

Dr. Carlton says that the death of

w ho could have put him out of the way;
knew ^newspaper man, now deceased,
who was exceedingly clever with a pen
cil and conld gather more news than
two ordinary reporters.
The professor says that on one occa
sion there was a tearful railroad wreck
and the reporter in question started out
to get the details. Enroute to the scene
of the fearful catastrophe the train
which carried the reporter was also
wrecked, and the poor newspaper man
was divided into a hundred editious.
There were greasy spots where small
pieces of the newspaper man strnck the
ground, aud that was all, that was left
of a genins of the qnill.
The paper waited in vain for the par
ticulars of the big accident and was
wondering what on earth could have
hapnenod to prevent “the hustler” from
wiring the details. Just as hope was
becoming forlorn and the news editor
was pulling his hair in despair, in
rushed the belated reporter with a beau
tiful story, cleverly written, giving ev
ery detail of the fearful accident, in
cluding a list of the passengers killed
and injured and. embracing a graphic
description of the scene where the acci
dent occurred.
After hastily handing in his “copy”
the reporter rushed from the office, hat
in hand, and disappeared.
Before the “story” was in type an
other report came, giving the particu
lars of the second wreck, and telling
about the horrible death of the reporter.
The city editor was dumbfounded aud
didn’t know what to do. The situation |
was desperate. It would never do for ]
the paper to get “scooped” aud after a
moment’s thought the man with the
blue pencil determined to risk chances
and publish the story in hand.
The following morning the paper cre
ated a sensation and was praised on ev
ery hand for the enterprise. The story
was absolutely true and perfect in every
detail. The city editor was dumb
founded, because he was positive that
the enterprising reporter was dead, and
that death came before ho reached the
scene of tlio accident. Yet there was

Atlanta, Qa., Sept 8th, 1898.—The

and cooler weather with a fear of a
bullish government report Saturday.
Outride of the short covering there was
little activity and the market again

If government report bullish there will

amount. Richards testified that when
he “hung up” the ticker, that nothing
was said about a purchase, which the
young man claimed was the case. Rich

to pay 10c for the use of the money for
a day.
When asked the value of the watch
Richards answered that it was worth
about $2.50.

Mr. W. H. Skalowski was convicted
by the city council yesterday of con
ducting a pawnshop in the city of Ath
ens withont a license, and fined $50.
Mayor Smith some time ago assessed a
fine of $100 on Mr. Skalowski, and his
attorney, Capt. W. B. Burnett, appealed
to council
Mr. Skalowski, who appears to be a
very intelligent young man, explained
to council that ho had no intention of
violating a city ordinance and that he
had never received an article in pawn
since his license expired.
The evidence showed that Mr. Ska
lowski had been engaged in the pawn
brokerage business up to a certain date,
and that he held a license to condnct
this business. When he decided to go
out of the business he stated that he
consulted the mayor about settling up
outstanding loans, and was ii formed
that this would be allowed. This Ska
lowski interpreted to mean that he
conld contiune issuing tickets to parties
for loans already made, who were
unable to pay the principal, but wanted
to pay the interest. This the defendant
did, and st. ted that if he had violated
the law that ho did so unintentionally.
Andy Hubbard, a colored man, swore
that he “soaked” an overcoat for fifty
cents last February to Skalowski aud
since that time he has been unable
1
to pay the principal but had kept the
interest up. He paid 15 cents per
month for the use of the half-dollar.
When asked by Attorney Barnett
where the overcoat was at present, he
statedthatChiefCnlphad.it, but neg
lected to say whether the chief had an
eye to cold weether aud intended wear
ing in, or whether the overcoat was sim
ply in that gentleman’s possession tern
porarily.
J. H. Richardf, a white man, swore
that ho had had several business trans
actions with the pawnbroker, bnt only
daring the interval when Skalowski was
a licensed broker,- He swore, however.
L. W. LEWIS DEAD.
Young Han of Much Promise Passed Away
Yesterday.
At 6 o’clock yesterday morning Mr.
Noland W. Lewis breatched his last at
the Victoria hotel.
Mr. Lewis was a brother of Mrs.
Sutherlin, wife of the manager of the
Victoria, and for several months had
been visiting his sister. He came to
Athens from Bainbridge, Ga , in hopes
that the change would prove beneficial
For several years he had been in feeble
health, and almost immediately on his
arrival in Athens he was forced to seek
his room.
Mr. Lewis was engaged in the tobacco
business and was a young man of great
promise. He was 26 years of age.
The remaius were shipped to Danville,
Va., last night, by Undertaker Colson.
Deceased was a native of Virginia aud
his father and mother are buried
Danville. His brother. Mr. G. N. Lewis

resting place.

Funeral of Mrs. R. E. Garrison Yesterday
flornlng.
The funeral services over the remains
of Mrs. Robert E. Garrison were held
yesterday morning at ten o’clock at the
home of Mrs. McLain, on booth Lump
kin street.
Quite a uumber of warm friends of
the deceased assembled to pay the last
tribute of affection to her memory, and
the scene was one of great pathos, the
husband and four little children being
gathered around the silent casket.
The choir consisting of Mrs. J. W.
Brumby, Mrs. H. H. Carltou, Mr. J. O.
Mell aud Mr. J. H. Huggins, Jr., sang
“It is Well With My Soul,” after which
Rev. J. W. Heidt, pastor of the First
Methodist chnrch, read the Scripture
lessons and offered prayer.
Then the choir sang “Jesus, Lover of
My Soul,” a favorite hymn, sung by
the deceased just before her voice was
hushed in death. Dr. Heidt made a
few appropriate remarks, followed by
Rev. E. D Stone, who had known Mrs.
Garrison from childhood. Mr. Stone
offered a most beautiful prayer.
After the choir sang “Some Sweet
Day,” the casket was borne to the
hearse by the pall-bearers, Messrs. A. R.
Nicholson, D. F. Miller, II. K. Nichol
son, C. B. Chandler, \V. C. Wingfield
and G. E. Lucas. The remains were
laid to rest in Oconee cemetery.
MOVE IN PULLMAN CARS.
THE PILLS ARE SPROUTING.
Mr. Luther Webb Makes a Navel Agricultural
Suggestion.
The wet weather has played many
pranks, hut none more curious than
those it played npon a box of vegetable
pills in the possession of Mr. Luther
Webb, of this city.
Mr. Webb secured these pills from
Dr. W. A. Carlton, aud tlieir splendid
medicinal qualities are thoroughly es
tablished.
''-'A few days since Mr. Webb went to
get one of those pills out of the box,
which was well covered aud almost air
proof.
To his utter surprise he found that
the wet weather had gotten in its work
and that the pills were sprouting.
Mr. Webb will buy no more of these
pills at the drug store. Ho says that, if
they will sprout in a box, they caii be
grown in the ground.
So the wet weather is not without its
benefits. It has added a new line of
agriculture.
