E BANNER, ATHENS, GEORGIA, NOVEMBER 12, 1089. THE FREE STATE FURNISHES A TEA GEDY. Shot Through the Head—Bill Finch Fires the Fatal Shot—A Negro Row Over Game of Cards—Can’t Tell Whether it is in Clarke or- Madisen. England's Executioner Stands at the Head of His “Profession.” . Mr. James Berry, the public hangman,who lives in Bradford, Yorkshire, England, is genuine boss among hangmen. Mr. Berry has succeeded a line of exports who have some of them been famous. There was Jack Ketch, Calcraft and Marwood, all of whom made improvements on the old pro cess, and now James Berry has come in for a leather washer for the rope which outdoes all other innovations. Mr. Berry is not an easy man for a news paper reporter to get at. Some time ago he talked to a member of the press too freely, and was warned by the government that if he did it again he would lose his position. This frightened him so that he has never About three o’clock yesterday morn ing Mr. Bill Finch, who has been Keep ing bar for J. A. Fowler in Madison county,came to Mr. George Booth’s and .. woke him tip, and informed him that he had killed a negro aud asked Mr. Booth to help him or give him some advice about what to do, Mr. Booth seeing that opened his mouth since, till lately a reporter Mr. Finch was drinking declined help | of The New York Sun got bold of him, and or advice unless he (Finch) was sober. Finch left Mr. Booth’s residence aud came down town where he was seen early this morning eating his breakfast, and stated that after he closed up the bar-room he went dowu into the woods where there is a regular gambling den, and negroes play from morning until ' night, and from night till morning for stakes ranging any wne:e from live cents to one dollar. This place is in the woods and the ground h(is been worn as slick as an otter slide where the paste boards are used. Mr. Finch walked up to see th games aud it was not long before two negroes, who were playing for the high stake of 50 cents fell out, and a tight ensued, and rocks were used freely. Mr. Finch seeing the trouble stepped back in the woods, and a little negro boy named Ed Pendleton, who had been staying at Fowler’s bar called Mr. Finch and he answered. One of the negroes who had been in the r®w com menced throwing rocks at Ed Pendle ton, and one of the rocks struck Mr Finch. This made Mr. Finch very mad and drawing his six shooter fired hit ting Ed Peudleton in the back of the head, the ball going through and com ing out just above his eyes. He died immediately, and Mr. Finch left, and is now probably in the mountains of north Georgia. Brown Barefield, the uncle of Ed Pendleton came in yesterday, and is after Mr. Finch; lie says the boy killed is only 14 years old, aud gives a ditter- ent version of the killing to that of Mr. Finch. It is a disputed point whether the killing was in Clarke or Madison. The coroner of Madison county withhold an inquest. Mr. Finch left Athens very early yesterday and will be hard to find. SUCCESSOR TO POPE LEO. PROBABILITIES THAT THE CARDINALS WILL SOON HAVE TO CHOOSE HIM. S515SSSS phenomena of memory. / n. DEMOSTHENIAN SOCIETY- Mr. John R, Cooper, of Logransville, Elect ed Anniversarian. There was an exciting election on the Campus as well as out in Athens yester day. For several weeks the fight for Anniversarian has been waxing warm between Mr. John R. Cooper,of Logans- ville, and Mr. J. It, L. Smith. Both young gentlemen are very popular young men, and .hence the contest was very close and exciting. Yesterday morning the society met, when Mr. Smith withdrew his name. Mr. W. H. Pope, of Atlanta, in a neat and eloquent speech 'nominated Mr. Cooper. The nomination was second ed by Mr. E. A. Cohen, of Macon. He was elected by acclamation, and was warmly congratulated. Mr. Cooper is one of the best debaters in the Demosthenian Society and will reflect credit on her name. He is a member of the Law< Class, and has been in attendance upon the college for three years. • The Demosthenian Society is in a thriving£condition, numbering over one hundred members. Whatever tends to increase useful ness, by banishing pain and suffering, will certainly secure notice and approv al. We allude to Salvation Oil.

Johnson, one of the oldest and most honored citi zens of Oglethorpe county, breathed his last. He was a noble Christian gentle man, and his long life had been spent in good works. Mr. Johnson was a pil lar in the Baptist church, and was hon ored and beloved by all who knew him. He was a father to Mrs. T. H. Olive, of Athens, and an uncle to Judge Samuel Bumpkin. He leaves a large number of relatives and friends, to whom we extend our deepest sympathy. GotoJJester’s, 241 Broad street, for Oysters, stewed, fried or boiled. Also steak, fresh ham and eggs.

There are pathetic passages In the lives of the lowliest—those most devoid of ordinary sensibilitiea Berry told the story of how be happened to become a hangman, and it is as affecting, though not so horrible, as his ac counts of the many deaths he has accomplished in a professional way: ‘You see, when Marwood dies and the ap pointment is vacant 1 makes application to the ’ome secretary at the same time with Bar tholomew Binns. Father was a carpet spin ner in Heckmondyke, about six miles of here. ’B owned a big mill and employed scores of men until ’e lost ’is property through *is debt ors being bankrupt. ’E ’ad twenty-one chil dren, and ’e gave every one of us a boar Jink school education except three. They was,” said Mr. Berry, counting on his Angel's, “our Herbert and our Sarah and our—no, it was only two. We all ’ad a boardiuk school edu cation but two. My people was the most respectable peo ple in Yorkshire, and when they ’eard as I ’ad made application to be ’angman, they sent word to th’ 'ome borfice that 1 was a lunatic and subjeck to fits, and they all begs me not to bring dis grace upon th’ fam ily. Well, what was 1 to dot I’d been in the coal trade, and I’d ’ad to go in bankrupt, and my brothers never offered to ’elp me then. Arf- ter that I was in th’ butter trade, Jame3 berry. and ’ad to pay my profits over to th* other creditors, and finally ’ad to quit that busi ness and go to work a’ making bootlogs in a shoe shopi None o’ my respectable brothers, as might well afford it, being in a good way o’ business, ever says to ipe: ‘James, ’ere’s a kindred pounds to gf yon anew start.’ 1 says: ‘It’s a ’onest business and it’s a paying business—ten pun and traveling expenses for each person what I ’angs, and fi’ pun in case of a reprieve—and PU follow it.’ I goes to my solicitor and tells Tin ’ow my sister ’ad sent word to th’ ’ome secretary as 1 was subjeck to fits—which I never 'ad a fit in my life—and be tells me to get th' affidavit of my family doctor as I was in perfick ’ealth, which I did, and 1 gets th* appointment. That night it was In all the papers in Brad ford, ‘A Yorkshireman appointed public ’angman,’ and what does one of our neighbors do, as is in Bradford, but be takes a paper out to Heckmondyke, and he finds my mother a standin’ on the steps o’ our ’ouso. He shows her th’ paper, and she just looks at it and says: ‘My James th’ hangman,’ and falls backward In a swouud. “Well, they sends one for me th’ next day, and tells me the mother is dying and wants to see me. 1 goes to th’ house right away, and finds her in bed. She sends th’others out th’ room, and then she puts her arm around my neck and cuddles me down to her. ‘James,’ she says, ‘it’s not true thou’et be ’angman f Thou’rt too affectionate,’ she says. ‘Mother,’ I says, ‘if it’ll save thy life Pll nof* be ’angman.’ *Ay,’ says she, ‘ft’ll save my life.’” The hangman’s tone had softened a trifle as he related this instance of filial devotion, and he went on in a more brusk tone, as if dep recating the follies of earlier daya “So I sends in my resignation, and Bartholomew Binns, he gets th’ appointment, but it don’t do no good, for the mother dies before she gets out of bod, and I was sorry enough, 1 can tell you, that I’d been such a fooL” There is something singular in contemplat ing a human being who had the heart to give up tho inestimable privilege’ of hanging peo ple to save his mother’s life, and regretting that he’d “been such-a fool,” when she for whom he made the sacrifice died notwith standing. However, he got the position after all, for Mr. Binns, who got appointed, botchod an execution, and the tender hearted Mr. Berry was soon put in bis place. It takes nerve to be an executioner, and perhaps Binns didn’t have sufficient. Hearing of the botch, Mr. Berry resolved to try again. “I was a member,” he said, “of the Young Men’s Christian Association, and I goes right over to that waiting room and sends word to th’ sheriff In Scotland without even telling my missua I tell th’ sheriff as ’ow I might have ’ad th’ appointment before, and what was my qualifications. He sends ms word back to get papers from the chief constable in Bradford that 1 am th’ right man, and not to breathe a word to nobody about it. Well, sir, I didn’t even tell the missus that, and when I wont to Scotland and did th’ Job, mo and th’ chief constable and sheriff in Scotland and th’ ’ome secretary was th’ only persona as knew I was ’angman until 1 come homo after. It was reading that in th’ paper that was th’ beginning that my father and brother died of.” Mr. Berry has assisted 178 persons Into eternity, and takes great professional pride in nevei yet having made a botch. “I breaks their necks all to pieces,” he says, "inside, that Is, and leaves a beSutiful corpse always. Some of my corpses you couldn’t tell if they died a natural death, as many of ’em seems smillngand happy in their coffins. I consider as it’s th* bounden duty of a ’angman to make it ns pleasant as possible for Is man, and to leave os nice a corpse as pos sible for ’is friends.” Mr. Berry has often had difficulty in get ting, to the prison where he is to perform a job without being recognized. Many a time he has shaved off his whiskers and put on a woman’s dress. Putting his straps and ropes under his clothes, he goes in through the crowd unrecognized. “ That’s the way I got into Dublin jail,” he says, “ aud that’s the way I’ve done many a job.” Then ho opened a wooden chest aud took out the ropes aud straps, aud pulling tho straps about himself and adjusting a rope about his own neck, threw the end over a beam and directed his interviewer how to proceed to illustrate a hanging, thus present ing a fearful temptation to servo him as he had served so many others. But tho inclina tion was resisted, and Mr. Berry still lives to »ond new souls out on their dork journey. The largest university is that of Oxford, 3ng.

PABOCCBL He Will Be an Italian, and Probably Cardinal Parocclil—How Far Reasons Are Allowed to Influence—Meth od of Electing a Pope. # Pope Leo XIII is in failing health: it is conceded that, under the most favorable circumstances, his life cannot be greatly prolonged and so another pope must soon be chosen, and this fact brings into special prominence two ecclesiastics. One Of these is Satolli, papal delegate to the Catholic centennial at Baltimore, whose prominence at this great Ameri can assemblage is thought by some to have a special bearing on the question as to whether the pope shall leave Rome. Cardinal Maria Parocchi, vicar general, on the other hand, is a prominent candi date, perhaps the most prominent, and is just now especially noted for h is pro- nounced views on the relations of the papacy and the kingdom of Italy. He is young for a cardinal, having been bom in 1833, is a man of iron will and clear aims, and probably the ablest ex ponent of the policy of resisting the secular Italian power at every point of its encroach ment. While bishop of Mantua he boldly espous ed the cause of the Jesuits dur ing the struggle between them and the so called liberal Lombard clergy. Ho was made bishop of Padua and then archbishop of Bo logna, but to this last the Italian government objected, and Parocchi re signed and went to Rome. About this time Pope Leo developed his policy as one of resistance to the sec ularizing tendencies of the civil govern ment. So Bishop Parocchi was made vicar general, and wielded a power sec ond only to that of the pope. In fact, it was soon recognized that affairs of the Vatican were confided to Cardinals Rampollo del Tindaro and Lucido Maria Parocchi When the electoral conclave assembles, the power of Cardinal Paroo- chi will be supreme in all the arrange ments, and he will be supported by all the priests of conservative views—those whom the Italian politicians affect to stigmatize as the “black party.” Many shrewd observers in Italy look upon his election as already certain. Others spoken of are Cardinal San- felice, of Naples; Cardinal Alemonda, of Turin; Cardinal Battaglini, of Bologna, and Cardinal Monaco. The situation is so peculiar that it is thought out of the question to choose a Frenchman or Cor man, as, in spite of its spiritual character, the papacy is necessarily interested in European complications. Spanish, Eng lish, American and other cardinals are not subject to the same disability, but none of them are prominently spoken of. The Italian cardinals outnumber all others, and, in view of the peculiar rela tions of the papacy and the kingdom of Italy, it is conceded that the next pope will be an Italian. There is a curious lack of information among non-Catholics on thi3 matter of the relation of the pope to the local gov ernment, and they often assume that the conclave is not free to choose, or is in’ some way unworthily influenced in choosing, with any reference to the sit uation of France, Germany, the United States or other semi-Catholic or non- Catholic countries. They forget the many instances in Scripture where the people were told to choose rulers accord ing to their temporal needs, and God then accepted their choice as the divinely appointed, and that the pope is both spiritual head of the church when he speaks “ex cathedra” upon doctrine and a temporal adviser in Christendom, as free to decide upon policy as any ruler. It may interest such people to know that the first Catholio bishop in the United States was really chosen by Ben jamin Franklin, who would now be spoken of as a deist. Father John Car- roll and Franklin went to Montreal to gether during the American Revolution and became fast friends, so Franklin suc cessfully urged the claims of Father Car- roll to the first mitre sent to the United States by the Holy See. By thi3 ex tremely democratic feature in the Catho lic church the the last created nuncio at Paris) is lying point of the opposition to Cardinal Parocchi, as Cardinal Rende is thought to be a believer in the most pacific pol icy.

ENGLAND’S NEW WAR SHIPS. The Most Armor Clad Victoria Is the Powerful of the British Fleet. The British are getting out war ships notw Ithstanding the fact that they have quite an effective navy already. One of Brittailia’s late productioc 3 is the armoif clad Victoria, the most powerfully equipjied British war ship afloat. How different her appearance from any of the late cruisers built for the United St&tes! With a very low hull and high built amidships she resembles one of the steam ers plying between New York and Al bany on the North river. Those two ugly, lean looking barkers that shoot out from the turret in front weigh 110 tons each. Those smaller noses projecting from the openings on the side are five-ton guns. There are box on each side of the vessel. Aft on the upper deck there is a gun weighing thirty tons. choosing pov may consider all secular and spiritual, politi cal and civil rea sons for choosing any man, but once chosen and inducted he be comes spiritually supreme within his functions. Nor is it claimed that tho choosing powers are ex empt from error, but it is believed that they have a measure of divine guidance. Much is said in France just now of the uncompromising attitude of the quirinal (meaning the Italian court) against the papacy, and the extremists, Renan being their chief spokesman, predict a speedy removal of the pope from Rome; but as that class of men have so predicted at intervals for some 400 years, it need ex cite no present concern. It should not be forgotten that the pope is bishop of Rome, as well as head of the church. Pursuant to the democratic principle above set forth, the election of a pope as a purely business proceeding is conduct ed with as scrupulous regard for fair ness as that of any official in the world. Each pope creates many cardinals, their terms being usually short, as they are generally old when appointed, and Leo XIH has in eight years almost entirely recreated che conclave, for of the fifty- eight cardinals only sixteen were creat ed by Pius IX. It should be added that H. M. S. VICTORIA. The Victoria is very large for a war | of Middleburg, who knew by heart the works of Virgil, Cicero, Juvenal, Homer, Aristophanes and the two Pilnya. If this was an example of “rote” only we have in Mezzofanti, the celebrated lin guist of Bologna, one of the most strik ing instances on record of what, by dis tinction, we call intelligent memory. He was described by Lord Byron as “a walking polygot, a master of languages and a Briareus of parts of speech.” At the age of 50 ho was thoroughly versed in fifty languages—perfect in pronuncia tion, idiom, grammar and colloquialisms —and before his death lie added twenty or thirty more to the list. He used to say himself that lie never forgot any thing that he either heard or read. It is recorded of La Fontaine, noted for his absent-mindedness, that he once attended the funeral of one of his most intimate friends, and shortly afterward called to visit that friend. ; When re minded by the astonished servant of the recent • death he was at first terribly shocked, and then remarked, "True; of course, I recollect now that I went to his funeral.” A curious instance of memory in sleep is related by a Frenoh writer on dreams. He says he once saw in a dream a num ber of men passing out from a feast. He observed them all very attentively, and the face of one struck him so much that he remembered it after waking. Exercising his thoughts as to where he had seen the face before he at ollected having seen it some days ously in a book of fashions, which he had carelessly glanced at and cast aside. Reichenbach, a German writer on mental phenomena, says: “Waking,* 1 cannot with whatever ' effort recall the features of my wife, who died some twenty years ago; but if 1 think of her in a dream, and her image Futures.
