A SURE-ENOUGH DUEL- AN ATHENIAN WHO DIDN’T FIGHT BY T£ : EGRAPH. A£t >vy of Cli Pen! e'fl School Days Rotoll —Mr*. Geo. G. Thoiriaa Plants Four Bul lets in Ilis Antagonist’s Body, and is Shot Once Himself. A« duels i.ro at this ii;ne the lending sen -ii.ion in Georgia, it may be interest ing to the Athenians to know that tve have in our midst a quiet, peaceful gen- temail, a consistent church member, tvii » once faecd the tire of his antago nist on the Held of honor; and these gentlemen did not have their pistols loaded with paper bullets, cither, that vino ll'rcd at each other from long range over the telegraph wire. The gcmlem.m to whom we refer is 31 r. George C. Thomas, a well known member of the Athens bar, the duel in which lie participated took place near Penth-fd, Ga., while he was attending college •there, His antagonist—who we alu’.l de.ignata as J iiu S.ni h — was also in uiesa'.nc school. Mr. Thomas was drily nineteen years of age at the time, but Smith was a couple of years his senior. Both were known to he game boys, who would light at the drop ota hut and drop it themselves; and when the news was made known that they hud a falling out their associates knew at once that the afla ; r would not end without fight. • Thomas was the challenging party, and when the cartel was delivered to ►Smith he at once accepted the chal lenge, and having choice of weapons li lined bowio knives, the antago nists to be stripped to their waist anu heade, 1 up in a large barrel, where they would light to their death. To this proposition Mr. Thomas re adied that .south was 41 fool to think lie ■would consent to such an arrangement; that his opponent being a much larger and stouter man, could overpower and disarm him and hack his body into mince meat, which ho would unhesitatinglydo. But lie would fight Smith with pistols at ten paces, and let him name the time and place. He would be on band. This proposition was accepted, and that same evening tiie duelists stood facing each other. Air. Fluker, who now lives at Union Point, was Mr. Thomas’ second, and the field of battle was on the outskirts of Peniield, in a secluded spot. It was agreed that five shots should be fired by each party before an attempt at settlement was made, and tq this preposition both consented. There were no signs of backdown In either principal, and they recognized the fact that it was to be a duel to the death, and that it was all-important to kill or disable the other man before he could return the fire. Smith was known as a dead-shot with a pistol, and the spectators looked to see dhosnas go down at the first fire. But he was as nerveless as a statue. lie stood sideways to Ins antagonist, and the desermined look in his keen eye showed him a stranger to fear. The words were given : Gentlemen are you ready ? Both men answered simultaneously, “Heady I” Fire, One, Two, Three, Ordered the second of Mr. Thomas. At the word ‘"Fire” Thomas’ pistol Wei it off, quickly followed by the re port of Smith's weapon. The haste with which the former gentleman shot doubtless ,-aved Isis life, for liis bullet p i-sed through the bridge of Smith’s nose, just belo v his eyes, and he was In st .utiy bli'idetl with the flow of blood. His shot whistled past Mr. Thomas’ Vkilhoi.t touching him. Then just fa-t as tiie men could pull their triggers these little leaden messengers of death were sent forth. Neither party moved out of his tracks, and Smith with his face streaming with blood, refused to a.-k for quarter but continued to empty liis revolver in the direction his antagonist stood, although lie could not see him. 3Ir. Thomas followed his tirstshot with three others, every one taking effect in Smith’s body, lie was as cool and deliberate as if shooting at four-legged game, and did his best to kill his opponent. As he tried to tiro his fifth and last shot his pistol refused to act, although- he had a dead bead drawn on the heart of his antagonist. Only one of Mr. Smith’s bullets struck its mark, which clipped a piece from 31 r. Thomas’ fourth finger, with which he was pulling the the trigger, and then passed through his clothes in close range to his heart. There being no more loads in either pistol, the seconds stepped forward and lead their principals aside. Both men insisted that their weapons be. re loaded that they might have another round, but as Smith was faint from loss of blood, the request was refused. At this time one of the Professors ap peared on the ground, which of course ended the affair for that day. Fortunately, while Smith had re ceived four of Mr. Thomas’ balls, not one infiieted a fatal or very serious wound, an 1 iu a few days he was oat again. Both men.however, will carry to their grave the scars that they received in this fight. The belligerent gentlemen never met again until the Cotton Exposition in Atlanta, when they came face to face ou the grounds. Neither party spoke or appeared to recognize the other. This is the story told the Banxkk re porter by an eye-witness to the affair. He said he never in his life saw two braver men. They seemed utterly in different to death, and stood as im movable in their tracks as statues^ 3Ir. Thomas was yesterday hunted up by a reporter and asked if the story o: of the duel was correct. “Oh, yes,” l.c replied, “but that is now a ehesnut.” “Were you not afraid ?” we asked. ‘fXot while the firing was going on, but as soon as it was over I think I did get a little nervous. But I am done with duelling now, unless you say any thing about this old affair, when I may change my mind.” “What do you think of lire Huff-Pat- terson affair ?” “Well, my idea is that if two men are anxious to fight they can always find an opportunity to de so. When a fellow’s blood is up he don’t stop to count the costs. There may be a fight j et bet ween these gentlemen. It sorter looks that way.” HAS NO 1101 Ray Hamilton—Eva Mann- Josh and Mother Swinton. SOME INSTANCES IN FICTION. Curious Csses in Kiibv Fainiing- dell-Cumiinghain Cuss — “A Temptation”—Children ner Born.” COM. HENDERSON iND HIS PROPOSITION ABOUT THE COT TON TARE. I»It*. Fo3gson T.iir.ks it AllEos'i—An Inter- v evv With This Prominent Cotton Man —Some Tacts and Figures Which Lvstrove What Mr. Kendarson Claims For the Tare. The letter of Mr. Henderson in yes terday’s Consti ution, purporting to .bring glad tidings to the farmers from the recent meeting in New Orleans about the tare question, seems to have fallen short of its intention. A close investigation made by Mr. Geo. T. Hodgson on the figures shows that Commissioner Henderson lias grossly erred in declaring that he has saved the farmer $1.4U per bale on ali cotton covered with cotton bagging and 6'.) cents per bale on all covered in jute. With the desire of giving the farmers this calculation as given by Mr. Hodg son, 11 Banner reporter asked him yes terday why this gain of $1.40 and GO cents of which Mr. Henderson spoke could uot be realized. “Well,” said ilr. Hodgson, “as it now stands Commissioner Henderson proposes to the farmers to take from t ie g oss weight of liis cotton sixteen pounds when covered in cotton bagging, an 1 twenty-four when covered with jute. This would seem to me a loss of $1.60 in one case and $2.40 iu the other.” “And why?” asked the Banner rep resentative. “For the very simple fact that all cottou has heretofore been sold gross, and the farmer has reaped the benefit and profit of selling jute bagging and ties that cost him from 4}do. to 5e. per pound at cotton prices, and this is in reality the cause of the whole fight against the jute trust, as the price asked by the combination was so high that the farmer made comparatively nothing on bis bagging. “Commissioner Henderson proposes to the farmer to lose the 1G pounds in one instance and 24 pounds in the other or, $1 GO and $2.40 to which must be addedAhe price paid for the bagging and ties in the first place. For exam ple : A farmer buys six yards of cotton bagging costing 7S cents, and six ties at 25 cents. He loses this in addition to the sixteen pounds tare or a total of $2.63 on cotton wrapped iu cotton bag ging, and comparatively more in jute agging.” “What is the difference. 3Ir. Hodg son, in this connection between the cotton and the jute sagging?” “Well, let’s see: It takes six yards of bagging to cover a bale of cotton. The bagging costs ^7S cents. At ten J cents per pound a ‘farmer would re- j eeive for this forty cents, a loss of thir- j tv-eight cents. In secondhand jute ! weighing 2pounds, costing him, say 1 ar ! ten cents at the outside, making sixty cents, for which lie receives at the same price as above $1.35,a difference of $1.13 cents iu cost of wrapping in second hand bagging, which is by no means overcome in the difference of tare of eight pounds . This shows that a far mer loses33 cents at the very least in the difference in wrapping in cotton and.second hand jute. The Alliance accomplishes the same purpose by wrapping their cotton in second hand jute, pine straw or cotton, by defeating the sale of new jute.” There is obviously much sound rea soning in 3Ir. Hodgson’s calculation, and his thorough experience in the Cot ton business is only a further voucher for its correctness. Hodgson Bros, are strong friends of the farmers and the Alliance, as maybe seen from the' closeness with which they study the interest of the farmers. Mr. Jim Crow’s Health. Last night about twelve o’clock par ties' brought the news to Athens of the death of Mr. Jim Crow, an old and re- , f injected citizen of Oconee eoiudy. He was stricken with paralysis yesterday about five o’clock and died in a short while. Ho was an old Confederate sol dier and fought four,years for the South. He was the largest man in this sec tion, being six feet nine inches in height and weighing two hundred and ninety pounds. The parties were unable to secure a cofiinfor hiutdn Athens. Fortune Follows a Fresno, Cal Disaster* Bernard Heringhi, a well-known broker on Pine street, between Monfro- ntery and Sansom,is the father of youV man who will hereafter speak praise concerning the Louisiana State Lottery. A few days before the recent conflagra tion at Fresno he bought the one-twent ieth part of ticket No. 42,758, for which he paid $1. His ticket No. 4*2,758 had drawn the first capital prize of $300,000 in The Louisiana State Lottery, < ’ winch he was entitled to $15.000—Sail Francisco (Cal.) Call, Aug, 8. Inspector Byrnes, New York’s big de tective, was right when he declared that for audacity, low cunning and shrewd depravity on one side, and blind infatuation on the other, the Robert Ray Hamilton-Kva Mann- Mother Swinton case, now before the courts, has no parallel in the police records ol New York. Here is a man, rich, so intellectually bright that he is chosen to represent his city in the szato legislature. He is descended from an aristocratic ancestry that comprises Alexander Hamilton, the Sebuylers, Van ■fteusselaers, Beckmans and more than a score of other old families, whose names are tinged with the purple and gold of inherited wealth, and are like an open sesame to “the best society.’’ He zisits, some four years ago, the professional habitation of a strum pet, and, falling in love with her, contributes liberally to her support. Meanwhile the woman, with the means thus supplied, supports one Josh Maun, and with the knowledge of Hamilton lives with him iu open concubinage, taking liis name. According to his own testimony Hamilton helps to find him when he goes astray from bis mistress, but the public confession is made with bowed head and skamod face. Mann is always shadowed by another crea ture—his mother, the so called Mrs. Swinton —and together they concoct a plan whereby, with the younger adventuress, u baby is brought into the scene. Hamilton is made to believe that it is his owp, and with a chiv alrous sentiment difficult to explain ha mar ries the woman Eva. Not merely one baby but three have been provided before. The scheme moves success fully. They were cheap children, however, being purchased for a song from convenient midwives, and died from inanition—a lack of proper food. A little thing like this not being permitted to interfere with the projects of the conspirators, they secured a fourth in fant, this time a $10 babe, and Providence, with its inscrutable ways, seems to have chosen this little innocent, now 8 months old, as an instrument of vengeance. A nurse, one Donnelly, was hired to take care of it. In a fit of wild passion the pretended mother seized a knife and sent the nurse to death's door. Then came the police, the investiga tion, the hastily concocted stories of Mother Swinton and of commonplace Josh Mann, the revelation that $10,000 had been expended on the crew during the last four years, and that the pretended mother, Eva, had forced a will from young Hamilton for the benefit of his child.' It was time now for the friends of the in fatuated dupe to step in, and they did so, although, still chivalrous, he attempted to shield the woman he believed to be his lawful wife and the legal mother of his offspring. Securing the services of Inspector Byrnes an investigation was begun and the plot above detailed unraveled. Is it a wonder that the chief of New York detectives should declare it to be one of the most cunningly and auda ciously devisea projects known in his wide experience to procure the transfer of a man’s property to an illegitimate heir? Not a - few people are even asking the question 'whether the sequel of the plot might uot have been a murder. THE CUNNINGIIAU-BCF.DELL MURDER. The incidents recall the tragedy that oc curred ou the night of the 30th of January, 1S57, when Dr. Harvey Burdell, a noted den tist of New York ci ty, was found dead in his own house on Bond street, then one of the fashionable localities of the metropolis. His landlady, Mrs. Cunningham, sustained the relation of mistress to him, and claimed to have own secretly married and therefore en titled to his fortune; but the subsequent testi mony showed that tho certificate of marriage was based upon a fraud, and that her as sumption of widowhood was equally false. Two of her boarders, Eckel and Snodgrass, were committed to prison os pai ties concerned with her iu the crime. The trial created intense excitement throughout the country, being scarcely less celebrated than those of Professor Webster for the murder of Dr. Parkman, and of John C. % Colt for the murder of Adams. Like Eva Matin, the woman Lad led a vagrant life, lived in various places under different nunies, and with determined art had secured a hold upon Dr. Burdell which he found ditllcult to resist. Fiuaily a quarrel ensued over lost papers, and the next morning b*» was found dead upon tho floor of his office with fifteen stabs in his body. For want of legal proof the woman and her alleged accomplices were acquitted. Not content with this, she opened another chapter in the drama. Applying for letters of administration upon the murdered man’s estate, she “made up” in her physical appear ance those outwai'd evidences that indicated her alleged marriage had not been on un fruitful oue. Eventually she confessed that her apparent condition was pretended, and she offered a doctor a thousand dollars to pro cure her a babe. The then district attorney, Police In spector Dilks and Capt. (afterwards In spector) Speight being apprised of the plot, lent it every encouragement. One of Hie officers was in her house even when the child was supposably born. Mrs. Cun ningham on being asked by the atteuding physician, “Do you claim this child as the ehfid of Dr. Harvej Burdell?” replied, “Of course; whose else should it be?” The officers now entered the room and the fraud was ex posed. The doctor informed them of the fictitious birth, and the borrowed infant was sent back to Bellevue hospital and restored to its mother, a lying in patient in that in stitution. . . , Mrs. Cunningham escaped the penalty of ner crime owing to the irregular means em ployed in obtaiuiug the evideuce, but she failed to establish either her marriage to Dr. Bor dell or her right to any part of his prop erty. A TERRIBLE TEMPTATION. Numerous cases might be cited in which innocent childreu have thus been made the instruments of atrocious schemes like the above, but * they constitute the small ro mances oi life that rarely come to the trou bled surface of a police court, and hence are not of official record. Unless crime is sus pected, it is nobody’s business to go beyond the advertisements of “children for adop tion” that appear in the daily journals, and trace the careers of these little ones, but be hind them ali is some life story, and in not a few instances it concerns the rich as well as the poor and depraved. Charles Reade in his thrilling novel, “A Terrible Temptation,” seems to have “caught on” to the idea as a basis for its plot. A mere outline is sufficient. One Richard Bas sett believes that ho is entitled to an old fain ily estate that in tho line of entail rightfully belongs to his cousin, Sir Charles Bassett. Being unscrupulous, be resorts to every means short of actual crime to prevent the marriage of the latter and a possible heir. 1 Meanwhile hi himself marries and at the same time establ'shes a liaison with one Mary Wells, a* servant, and the daughter of a gypsy. Sir Charles also marries, and his bride takes Into employment this Mary Wells. A year or two passes and Lady Bas sett, knowing the feud that exists between the cousins, mourns over her failure to pro duce issue, fearing that the misfortune will cause nn estrangement between herself and The Bar- j LU j^urhig a fox hunt Rir Charles is thrown Terrible i f ro m his horse, epileptic fits follow the acci- •Xot to the Man- | (lent, and the scheming Richard avails him self of the circumstance to send his cousin to a lunatic asylum. At this juncture Mary Wells, in her great affection for her mistress, confesses to Lady Bassett that, having bean indiscreet, she is about to become a mother, and suggests that if Lady Bassett will simu late her own condition the child shall lie her own for all time. Sir Charles in his eagerness for an heir will be gratified, his health will be restored and the estate bo preserved in its entirety secure from the machinations of the cousin Robert. After a long mental struggle Lady Bassett agrees to the plan. Sue goes to London, takes quiet lodgings, the child of Mary Wells is born, transferred to the bed of her mistress, and in due time is produced as the time son and heir of Sir Charles. He re covers. The boy becomes the apple of his eye, but is nursed all the time by its real mother, Mary Wells, who has pretended to he a widow. As years pass the putative mother, Lady Bassett, yields to an inherent dislike for the boy, and Sir Charles himself wonders at his strange idiosyncrasies, his wild, reckless, untamable, gypsy like nature, his dark, ori ental eyes and other features so unlike any other member of his race. Finally Lady Bassett confesses that the lad is uot her son, but in tho loyalty of his affection Sir Charles refused to believe it. ELMON ELIXIR. A Pleasant Lemon Drink.

Mary Wells, the real mother, however, now appears upon the scene, and In revealing her maternity and tho plot of which she has been one of the central figures, confronts Richard with the fact that it is he and not Sir Charles who is the father of the criminal, and that his own early follies with her, like chickens, have “come home to roost.” Without following the story further, it will bo seen that the novelist has utilized some of the many possibilities that may attach to transplanted babies. The playwright has given usaunique plot in “Little Lord Fauut- leroy” which concerns tho use made of strange children, and Gilbert, in “Pinafore,” makes tho bumboat woman sing: When I was young and charming, And practiced baby farming. I mixed these children up. But, as a prominent police official said to the writer, “There is no case on our records where, reaching over a considerable period of time, a fraud like that of the Mann girl has been successful. Now and then a party is brought out, like the Buffalo girl the other day who scared a youn# fellow into fits by showing him a baby in bed which, as she claimed, was his own and all ripe for adop tion; but when tho old ladies in the boarding house put on their spectacles it was found to be two or three months old. Incidents of this kind are common, especially among the lower classes. But do you remember the Rochester case?” “Some twelve years ago,” continued the official, “a young fellow of means fell in love with an up town giri, bright, ambitious, but compared with him poor. They were mar ried and after a time lie went abroad on commercial business. She remaiued iu New York. During his absence a child was ‘born.’ That young chick came from a foundling asylum, and if you knew the par ties you would see them driving through Central park almost any bright.day in the year—the husband a thoroughly deceived man, but in all probability his will has been made in favor of that boy.” I The part that on illegitimate child may play iu the affairs of life may be further il lustrated by an incident or two. “Massa,” saiu an old time colored servant to the scior. of one of the richest families in the south, “young mistis tell me to bring do baby ’roun’ Cor see yo’.” It was his oyvn :hiid born out of wedlock, but she was adopt ed by him and grow to bo a woman. Pos sessing a magnificent voice and handsome presence, she became famous iu social circles as a musician, and finally, while traveling abroad, wus courted and won by an Italian count. There was no doubt about his ances try, but he was impecunious and a rascal. By the generosity of her “father,” she was enabled for & long time to keep her husband supplied with funds, but when those gave out he rfesorted to blackmail and something worse. Incarcerating her in a lunatic asylum, the villain demanded blood money until thou- sauds of dollars were expended for her care, yet used by him. When the end came, it was found that she had been deliberately •hut off from friends and home, that she was anything but insane and had died from cruel ty and a broken heart The father, too, now bos a broken heart, for the story is known to thousands. Another incident within the knowledge of the writer, which illustrates the importance of “a baby in tho house,” isos follows: Father and baby were both desperately ill at the same time. By the terms of a will, if the father died first an Umnense property was to revert to his wife or child. If the child died first the property was to go to his side of the house. Representatives of the two factions sat in adjoining rooms for two days, trying to prolong these valuable lives—a mother and relatives ou oue side and a grandmother, with a host of sisters, cousins and aunts, on the ether. Fate threw the dice for the baby, nowever, and turned up trumps. It lived just five i minutes after the father breathed his last, iu less than a year the mother remarried. Today another generation is enjoying the thousands a year because a battle was suc cessfully fought over a baby’s last sigh. Who will say, after all these incidents, that ; the pickaniniea are not big factors in our social life?
