THE ATHENS BANNEKi FRIDAY M0BN1NG, SEPTEMBER 9, 1898.
THROUGH THE RAIN ’
HE WALKED ASLSEP.
Private Wood, of Beusse’s Company,
III With Fever.
HE AWOKE IN THE NIGHT
And Thinly Clad Walked Several Hundred
Yards Through the Rain Before He Awoke
—He is Critically III With Fever
But May Recover.
A short while since Private Charles
Wood, a member of Beusse’s Company,
2nd Co. Regiment, came to Athens on a
furlough.
He was then just recovering from a
raio of measles contracted at Tampa,
Fla., and came to the home of his uncle
Mr. Tom Wood, who lives in Blairsville,
just beyond the city limits.
Dr. Dillard was called in a few days
later and found that Private Wood had
brought a worse disease than ifieasles
with him. He had typhoid fever, and
Er. Dillard began treating him for it.
It was not known that the yonng
soldier walked occasionally in his sleep,
and Friday night he slipped out in his
night clothes and started off to a neigh
bor’s house.
The rain was pouring down, but that
did not wake the sleeping somnambulist,
who went right on to a house several
hundred yards from his uncle’s home
and knocked at the door.
A gentleman came out and thought
the young man was drunk. Wood told
him he was not drnnk, and that lie was
simply hunting the lion^e of his uncle
Mr. Tom Wood.
The house was painted out to him and
he started back. On his way back he
fell down two or three times in the road.
The last fall woke him and he realized
his condition.
He hastened back home, but when he
arrived he was muddy from head to
. foot, and was drenched to tlie skir.
Dr. Dillard considers liis case a serious
one, but believes that with careful treat
ment and attention lie has good chances
of recovery.
Private Wood enlisted at Washington,
Ga., and up to the time of his first
illuess willi measles made a splendid
soldier.

REALIZED SNUG FORTUNE.
Admiral Sampson Gets Rich From Prize
Money He Receives.
New York, Sept. 5.—A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
At least $3,000,000 prize money will be
distributed among American sailors as a
result of the war with Spain.
More than one-half of this sum will be
paid in accordance with that section of
law providing for the payment of a
bounty for persons on board vessels of
war sunk in action.
It is estimated that the aggregate
amount due the Asiatic fleet as a result
of the destruction of the Spanish force
amounts to $187,500, which congress
will be asked to approprirte during the
coming session. One twentieth of this
sum belongs to Rear Admiral Dewey, as
commander-in-chief, and he will, there
fore, he $7,875 richer than he was before
the war.
Rear Admiral Sampson has realized a
snug little fortune as a result of the war.
As a commander-in-chief of the North
Atlantic fleet he will get one-twentieth
of every prize taken in North Atlantic
waters and one-twentieth of the head
money allowed for the vessels destroyed
off Santiago and in Cuba ports. It is
estimated that he will finally receive
abont $40,000 as his share of the prize
money.

ANGLO-GERMAN ALLIANCL.
One of the Latest /loves on the Diplomatic
Chessboard.
London, Sept. 8.—A report was cur
rent here today that a treaty of alliance
between Great Britain and Germany, on
the lines of the speech of Mr. Chamber-
lain, the secretary of state for the col
onies, was actually completed yester
day.
This is probably an amplification of
the gossip relative to the daily visits of
Count Von Hatzfeldt-Weidenburg, the
German ambassador, to the British for
eign office during the past fortnight,
which have been attributed to a desire
upon the part of Germany and Great
Britain to formulate a common policy
in regard to Russia and China.
Another explanation of the German
ambassador’s visits to the foreigh office
here is that they relative to mix tribu
nals of Egypt, the international agree
ment on the subject ending in February
Through French and Russian influence,
the court has always hampered the
British plans tor the use of the Egyp
tian savings and the advance of Egypt.
Now it is said an agreement has been
almost reached by which Germany will
support the British views relative to the
future composition and powers of the
mixed tribunals.

HOWARD GETS A YEAR.
His Fingers Stuck to a Pair of Shoe, and He
Plead Guilty to Theft.
From Tuesday’s Banner.
Willie Howard is a negro man who
don’t evidently believe that “human
liberty is the grandest thing on earth.’’
Howard has been out of the chaintrang
less than ten days, and another whirl of
twelve months duration is in front of
him.
Saturday night Howard lifted a pair
of shoes that belonged to the Bee Hive.
They were not his, but a little thing
like that didn’t hurt his conscience. He
was detected in the act of the theft and
the shoes were taken from him by the
officer who made the arrest.
Howard plead guilty before .Judge
Cobb yesterday, and was sentenced to
twelve months in the chaingaug. Judge
Cobb would not put a fine upou him,
but denied him the alternative of pay
ing out, on account of his past record as
a misdoer. Howard claimed that be
was dead drank when he committed the
crime, and didn’t remember a thing
abont “taking dem dar shoes ’cepn dat
dey were took from him by the police
man when he arrested him.” Howard
told the officer that he was a somnambu
list and tried to convince him that be
was walking in his sleep, but this didn t
work worth a cent. Howard now has
ample proof of the Biblical lesson that
the way of the transgressor is hard, even
for kleptomania fiends.
