The Alliance Sends up a Communica
tion and Something of a Sensa
tion Ensues,
Special to The Banner.
Atlanta, August 29.—Speaker Clav
received this morning a communica
tion from the Farmer’s Alliance
through its secretary, Mr. R. L. Burks.
The letter stated that ut the convenl
tion held at Macon last week, the fol
lowing resolution was introduced by
Hon. M. I. Branch, of Columbia countv,
and adopted unanimously.
Whereas, Paragraph 4, section^ and
article 4 of the constitution of Georgia
declares: “The general assembly of
this state shall have no power to author
ize any corporation to buy stock in any
other corporation in the state or else
where, to make any contract or
agreement whatever with any such cor
poration, which may have the effect or business, but determined to leave no
be intended to have the effect to defeat stone unturned to take full advantage
or lessen competition in their respective of
businesses, or to encourage monopoly;
and all such contracts and agreements
shall be illegal and void.”
Resolved, That the state Alliance, in
convention assembled, do demand from
the present general assembly some law
which will immediately and effectually
enforce the provisions of‘ the constitu
tion.
Mr. Glenn, of Whitfield, moved that
the communication and resolution be
referred to the railroad committee.
Mr. Lewis, of Hancock, said he want
ed to say that he thought it in bad taste
for any organization of alliance to “de
mand” certain legislation from this
body. He would vote for Air. Glenn’s
motion.
The motion prevailed.
The reading of the resolution from
the Alliance created a small sensation
in the house, and members listened to
it with close attention.

Summerville, August 29.—The Ga

too much poison to kill was taken.
Mrs. M. A. Dorsett, near Alpine, has
been having chills for some time.
Last Saturday she thought she would
take a big dose ofjquinine and stop the
chills. By mistake she took a teaspoon
ful of morphine.
So much of it made her nervous, and
she could not sleep, and she is as well
as usual. Half as much would have

the. unprecedented .large trade this
year. To this end Mr. Houston, of
Augusta, was engaged, and already has
he not only revolutionized the retail
business of his own firm, but his exam
ple has acted like electricity ine.iven-
ing the dry goods trade of our entire
city. This gentleman is recognized as
a leader in this line of business, and it
was certainly a great thing for Athens
when he was induced to come to our
city. Mr. Houston is not only a fine
manager, but a genial, high-toned gen
tleman, who makes a warm friend of
every one he meets.
When he entered the store of Julius
Cohen & Co. he found no dead timber.
This is not only one of the oldest, but
one of the most reliable and popular
dry goods houses in the South. Their
reputation has long been -established
for carrying one ®f the largest and
handsomest stocks of dry goods in the
State, and there is not a house in
America that ranks higher for fair and
honest dealing. A customer will know
that when he buys an article of Julius
Cohen & Co. that it will prove just as
:epresented. This house keeps no
cheap or shoduy goods, but always
buys the cream of the market. They
carry out, too, just exactly what they
advertise. The names of Julius Cohen
and Goodloe II. Yaney is all the
guarantee a man who knows
these gentlemen will ask. It is
synonymous of sterling integrity and
lair dealing.
A look to-day at the beautiful store of
Julius Cohen & Co., shows at a glance
that therehas been a comple change
made iu the retail department. There
are signs of activity and push bn every
hand. The business is being conducted
on the. department system, the same as
the largest retail stores in New York
and other Northern cities, and you see
from arrangmentof stocks, etc., that an
experienced dry goods man has been at
work, lu future the retail.department
will be kept up as well as the wholesale,
which is second to none in the State.
Mr. Cohen is now on his second visit
to New York for the season, assisting
their resident buyers in selecting anu
purchasing the fall stock, and this
great metropolis will be ransacked to
secure all the novelties of the season.
This bouse lias placed some time ago,
import orders for their rec*>il depart
ment in novelties, dress goods and trim
mings, that lew other houses in the
South can show you. These goods are
shipped direct, and will be arriving
very soon for inspection. We advise
the ladies of Athens not to make any
purchases this season until they see
Julius Cohen & Co.'s novelties—lor
fashion, style and economy you will find
in this popular store.
This house keeps a resident buyer in
New York all the. time, which of course
gives them a great advantage. He is
always ready to purchase the first new
gU&dsin the market, and the next train
hastens them onward to Athens. By
this means our citizens are able to keep
fully apace with the'New York fash
ions. This buyer also often picks up
great bargains, which Julius Cohen &
Co. always give their patrons the bene
fit of. While they do not permit ail in
ferior or shoddy article to enter their
store, at the same time they never fail
to take advantage of a bargain in first
class goods when offered.
Their bargain counters for the last two
.weeks have been a great success, and
they will continue this good work for
ten days longer, to make room for their
immense fall stocks. But speaking of
bargains, every department in this store
offers bargains. It is surprising- how
Mr. Houston is slaughtering prices.
His rule is to dean out the old stock be
fore the* neto goods arrive, and make
them go atjsome,price. Hence you see.
the finest and most stylish articles daily
slaughtered b'4re right diiti’ left. ‘The
people appreciate this j’tob,' for they
carefully read every line of his adver
tisements, well knowing that they can,
implicitly rely on promisesmade ;by
Julius Cohen & Co. .
W6 say to The Banner readers, take
advantage of the great bargains' how
being ottered and then watch > for - the
new fall goods, that are daily arriving.
This house will have a stock that will

want your * patronage, and' are deter
mined to have it if first-class goods, low'
prices, polite attention and square and
honorable deaBn&urtll attract it.
Ladies will find it a great advantage
to Mo their shopping'-in a first-class
house, where they keep dqwn with the
'prices and , up with the styles. The
salesmen Can assist'ybir in getting tip -a
dress and in matching, combining and
blending coloia. You will .find at Ju-
keeps fully apace with |he times. There
is not a more beautifully arranged store
or a finer Stock of goods in the state.
It is worth a trip to Athens just to pay
a visit to this beautiful establishment.
The salesmen are all experienced men,
polite and attentive, ana a customer is
waited upon without delay, The stock
is so arranged that no time is lost in
hunting up goods.
We bespeak for Julius Cohen & Co.,
a magnifieient trade this fall, for they
certainly richly deserve it, if first-class
goods, square and honorable dealing
and low prices will count for anything.
There is not a better firm in the*South.
Too much praise cannot be acceded
Manager Houston for the manner
in which he is conducting
and building up their retail
department. He is cdftainly the right
man in the right place, and it is a big
riling for the Classic City when he con
sented to move here. He belongs to one
of the best families of the Palmetto
State, he being trained to this business,
and wherever he has resided won the
confidence and respect of the people.
He is doing a good work for his em
ployers, and his example will be worth
a great deal to the dry [goods trade of
Athens.

Rev. Mr, Hick’s Maps Give Septem
ber’s Weather in Detail-
About a year ago Rev. I. R. Hichs,
the St. Louis storm prophet, in his
“Storm Chart” for 1889, made these
prediction for September:
“At the beginning of September a
well developed storm will be in prog
ress. Heavy gales and general storms,
with earthquake disturbances, are more
than pmbable. The second storm pe-
riop is central on the 12th. Special at
tention is again called to .the fact that
September, from the 10th to the 20th,
is a crisis in the autumnal equinox.
Drop a regular Vulcan period into these-
exact days, during the Jovian period,
and phenomena of cn unusual charac
ter are certain. The greatest storm
period is from the 2d to tlte 28th. Here,
again the prudent watch on land and
sea will come out ahead.”
The above predictions, of a year ago,
are supplement in his “Word and
Works r ”a monthly journal published in
St. Louis, by the following enlarged
predictions, under date of August 10,
from which it will be seen that we are
to have another bad month of rain,
storms and electrical disturbances. But
here-is what he says for September:
"The first day of September is the
centre of a regular storm period, there
fore we put down in the calendar the 1st
2d and Urd as the days in which the
most active storm movements are liable
to occur. We write this forecast on
Friday morning, August 16, and dis
patches, as private advices, informs us
of snowfall within the past two or three
days at various places in Pennsylvania
and New Hampshire. This, together
with the fact that there was frost in
Northern Illinois on the first day of
August, not only continues to sustain
our prediction fora cool summer, but
our special announcement of ‘amazing
fights of the mercury up and down’ for
this exact time, in August Word and
Works. This couditiou, in all probabil
ity. will continue, making heavy frosts
to the northward more than probable
at the close of September’s first storms.
About the 7th the rise in temperature
necessary for secondary storm develop
ments will take place. First quarter
of moon on the 2d at 1 o’clock 34 min
utes p. m.
“The 12th of September is not only
about thedate of greatest electrical ex
citement during every autumnal equi
nox, but is, this year, the center of a
regular storm period. Therefore, from
about the 10th to the latli, may be ex
pected many active and perhaps violent
md destructive storms and gales. Sea
men and others will do well to prudent
ly 1 lieed all storm signals’ and indica
tions on or about the lltli, 12th, lfith
imd j4th. Earthquake phenomena at
this time, or indeed at any storm period
in tliy month, would be a most natural,
but perhaps harmless result. Full
moon on, the 9th at 7 o’clock and 52
minutes a. m. A general high barom
eter, with some freezing and much
frost, be looked for behind the storms
of this period. About the l$th warmer,
followed by.reactionary storms. Moon’s
last quarter on the 16th, 10 o’clock
IS minutes p. m.
“On the 24th falls the center of Sep
tember’s last regular period. This,
together with the earth’s exqninox,
Jupiters disturbing presence, and the
fact that the moon drops between the
earth and the sun at 8 o’clock 41 min
utest p. m. on the same day, indicates
violent autupmal storms and at
mospheric changes. If the ’weather
should be warm and' undisturbed, with
little or ho electrical warm the atmos
phere at this time, the chances will be,
increased for violent earthquakes. Wp

Rome, Ga., August 31.—The cave
has been explored, and the
explorers tell some interesting stories
about their subterranean excursion.
a perilous Descent.
The discovery of the cave happened in
this way: Mr. Huffaker has leased a
bluff of limestone on Mrs. Gunn’s place
and is preparing to make a kiln to burn
it. In digging a well he selected what
is known in* this section as a lime sink.
When the well got down about twelve
or fifteen feet it fell in, and thus the
opening was found.
One of the well diggers, a negro man,
then put his foot in the loop and was-
lowered down the well until opposite
the aperture. Here he swung himself
to and from until he thrust himself
headforemost into the opening and,
eatcliing as best he could, crawled it,
disentangling his foot from the rope.
The rest of the party soon saw that
this was the only way to get in, and un
less they backed out they would have to
do the same way. One by one they were
lowered—pulled and scrambled in the
opening—and disappeared from the sight
of those above.
HOW IT LOOKED.
The lanterns were lit and the explora
tions began. The mouth of the cave
was about three feet high and the roof
formed of solid limestone. The party
were on their hands and knees, of sato
There were apparently two subterranean
passages.
The one on the right hand side, ren-
ning in a northerly direction, was first
explored. It gave promise of leading to
a large chamber, but after two of the
party crawled, following, a boy who
had been in the cave before, they saw
the walls getting lower and returned.
On the fioor, which was composed of a
seiuidried mud, they found a number of
curious bones. Only an anatomist
could tell the animal they belonged to..
Others seemed to he the hones of a big
bird.
The opening in this direction con
tinues under the Rome and Decatur
railroad.
WRIGGLING THROUGH A SMALL PASSAGE.
The next passage tried was that on
the left which ran almost due west. One
of the adventurers went through it and
reported he had discovered a chamber
large enough to stand up in. The two
smaller members of the party yelled for
him to wait and as the passage which
was very small, it was necessary to lie
flat on the stomach and wriggle through.
A lantern had to be turned sideway to
get through it. The passage gradually
broadened after this. The roof was
high enough to allow one to stand up.
In a small chamber further to the left
some l eautifnl white clusters of stalac
tites were discovered and broken off.
THI LARGEST CUAMBER
yet entered was arrived at. It was about
100 feet long and from 25 to 75 feet
wide. The roof was high enough for
the explorers to stand up. It shelved
down so the sides and passages led off',
it was tiresome work as a good deal of
crawling had to be done. The staltctites
hung down from the walls liks tacks
stuck through a piece of card bord ami
the baeks of the explorers suffered no
little.
A SUBTERRANEAN RIVER.
Tliq party were underground about
two hours. While the cave was not so
large as expected from the report in .The
Tribune yesterday, nevertheless, it is
very interesting and if a proper search
were made no doubt some enormous
caverns would be discovered*
A CRAZY WOMAN JAILED.
Put in Prison Because She Gets Happy
and Shouts.
Mrs. Lena Cobb has lived in this
county a number of years, and is pretty
w’ell known to the people in the neigh
borhood of Camesville and in the south
western part of the county. She is a
widow, middle aged, of good character
and partially deranged. Her derange^
ment is mainly of a religious character
and she is easily excited to a sort of re-
relious fervor or eestacy, in which con
dition she is apt to talk and shout and
is quite noj,sy. Though according to
our own observation, she is not more
likely to shout, nor more demonstra
tive, nor more ill-timed than some
others we have known.
She atended the meeting at Bold
Spring church on last Friday night and
while under the influence of religious
excitement, indulged in such demon
strations as are not usual with persons
in that condition. On Sat
urday, or it might have been the
same night,she was arrested n on war
rant charging her with disturbing re
ligious worship, and was lodge in jail ’
on Saturday evening. If her conduct
reported to us correctly there was noth
ing to justify arrest, even if she had
been perfectly sane. If it is admissable
to speak of such things as ill-timed, in
decorous or disorderly, her actions as
we hear them, before she was interrupt
ed,. were no. more ill-timed, indecorous
or disorderly titan we have witnesse
at church in times of great religious
excitement.—Carnesville Eegistere.
A SNAKE STORY.
A* Big one From Franklin County.
Mr. R. L. Freeman give us a snake
story, which we appreciate, as news is
always scarce. While on his way to
work the roads last week he noticed sev
eral young snakes in the grass on the
side of the road, and struck at them
with the pick, they all began to glide
away into the bushes with a a youthful
hiss. He follovveed them about 50
yards into the woods when they disap
peared into a hollow log. He began to
knock on the log with his pick,
when a huge rattler emerged and threw
himself in fighting attitude. He fought
for halt an hour trying to kill the snake
when he-became sick and faint from the
dreadful'odor. Finally his two dogs
came to* bis rescue and the snake was
soon ki-llep. Breaking into the log he
killed 26 young rattlers about 10 inches
long. The old rattler was 5 feet 3
inches long measured llj^
inches in circumference. In the
log was found the snake’s den, made of
leaves, seed cotton and [rags. Bird
feathers and numerous small bones
were found. But the strange part of the
story is this: Among the rags; tightly
sewn up, was a silver coin, supposed to
be Spanish, dated 1801. Bob prizes his
coin as highly as a darky would the left
hind foot of a grave yard rabbit.—
