LONG-TAILED
COL. BALDWIN MAKES A START
LING DISCOVERY.
A QUIET
A Banner man dropped into the store
of our jovial friend. Col. C. W. Bald
win, yesterday,and found him in one of
Ids melancholy, moralizing moods,
that sometimes come.over him like a
dark shadow.
We asked that hejunbosom himself—
lay bare to us bis troubled thoughts,
and see if we could not pour a few
drops of the oil of consolation upon bis
mental wounds.
“There is nothing the matter with
me,” remarked Colonel Bandwin. “I
was only ruminating oyer the disap
pearance of the Jong-tailed hog from
the very face of the earth, and trying
to account for its exit. Do you know
that when I was a boy a porker minus
a caudal appendage was as rare a sight
as a one-eyed man; and you may talk
about your ambrosia, and chitterlings,
and angel’s food, and ’possum and ’ta-
tera ana all the-other luxuries so beau
tifully described by gluttonous poets,
but for the most delicious morsel that
ever tickled the palate of a hungry man
give me a hog’s tail roasted on the
«oals, with a sprinkling of salt. I tell
you, it makes a meal fit for the gbds,
and my mouth waters until this day
when I think of the feasts I used to have
when^the oldjman killed his hogs. I know
I am a poor, weak, erring sinner; but if
some enterprising preacher would dis
course in the pulpit about that happy
■Sand flowing with nicely browned hog
tails, instead of peaches and honey, I
don’t think a log chain could keep me
from marching right up to the anxious
seat. I haven’t lmd but one good bite
of hog tails since I swapped an innocent
and independent rural life for the
tinsel wiles of a city and Boston baked
beans. Why, the exchange of hog-
tails for beans was like trading the
throne of England for Tom Dooly’s
trash cart. The only oasis I came
across during the long and weary years
I was a small spoke in the Hub, was
one day, in passing an obscure little
market, I saw an old Irish woman with
a tray, full of hog-tails, that she roasted
on the coals and sold five for two cents.
I felt like the feHow on the stage who
bad found a long-lost brother with the
S Dverbial strawberry markon his arm,
dl invest? Why, I ate twenty-five
cents worth of hog-tails, and that night
dreamed that a Jacob’s ladder bad been
lowered from the sky to my bumble
oartbly cot, and every round of it was
made of a nicely baked pig’s-tail. I
have r.o use or respect for one of these
-modern breed of hogs that looks at
you as much as to say, ‘I can a tail un
sold,’ and yet a half inch of bis real
f i aid would cure a case of cholera-
eg whose tail has been amputated or
-driven up with a sledge-hammer, I
don’t know or care which. Several
years ago I attended a little country
lair at my old home. Americas, Gu.
and my friends decided that they woult I
honor me by appointing me to the re-
sponsible but not lucrative position to
award prizes to the hogs on exhibition.
1 was armed and equipped with a
bundle of blue ribbons. You
may judge my indignation
-and contempt on finding the
every hog belonged to that mongrel
bob-tailed species. Why I would al
most have submitted to decapitation
before one of them should have been
given a premium at my hands. At last,
an a little out-of-the-way pen I discov
ered a vision of my youth—an old-fash
ioned, Georgia-raised razor-back, with
a tail hung to him like a clothes-line.
Here was the hero of my dreams, and
I detenffined, let the consequences be
what they may, that I would reward
real meric. I hired a negro to catch
that swine, and then tied the whole
bunch of blue ribbons to its beautiful
tail, and reported to the fair directors
that I had made the awards, and I
hoped they would give entire satisfac
tion. I will not bore you
with the scene that follow
ed; The supreme delight of the
owner of the razor-back, and how he
had collected $43 in prizes with my
blue ribbons as evidence before the
bob-tailed hog men found it out 1 How
I narrowly escaped lynching, and hew
my friends smuggled me out of town
between two suus. This is the last
time I was appointed to serve in this
capacity. But I am straying from my
subject. The mystery that I am trying
to unravel is the cause of this revolu
tionizing and demoralizing chaugein
the anatomy of a hog, and I believe
can exclaim “Eureka!” If you remem
ber, there was an old legend in the
country—antedating the war, and evi
dently started by a lineal descendant
from Annanias and Sophi-
ra, with suspicion resting on
Munchausen as to his pater
nity—that it took a bushel of #orn to
fatten, a pig’s tail. Our fathers, who
did not keep their corn-cribs jp the
SYest, paid no attention to this ro
mance; but our modern farmers, who
-raise their corn in sacks, and count the
grains like a miser would his dollars,
evidently believed it, and began to
tiir-tatt their hogs, until the poor ani
mals have actually forgotten that such
an appendage is a part of their make-up,
and they have forgotten to put any
tails on their pigs. My mouth is now
watering for a nicely roasted hog tail,
and yon can state tl rough The Banner
that I will present with a bushel of
com any farmer who will bring me this
luxury. I will also give the best pair
of boots in my store to the man who
will encourage the cultivation of long
tailed hogs. If he can find one it will be
enough for seed. You may talk about the
dollars of our daddies, but what I am
-sighing for now is the long-tailed hog
of our daddies.” °
The election was as quiet as a funeral
paocession. Everybody took their time
about voting, and in fact seemed not to
care whether they voted or not as they
had already decided things definitely
by che democratic primary.
The polls were opened early in the
morniug at the several precincts as fol
lows:
First Ward at E. H. Dorsey’s office
on Broad street, with B.Chappel, Peter
Culp and J. P. Fears managers.
Second Ward, at J. II. Hull’s office,
with David Hemerick, H. T. Huggins
and C. J. O’Farrell managers.
Thiad Ward, it Cooper’s stables on
Washington street, with E. F. Ander
son, J. G. Evans and C. W. Parr man
agers.
Fourth Ward, at the court house, J.
A. Garebold, C. L. Pitner and Warren
Edge managers*
The voters showed up slowly and
with much indifference All day, and
when the returns were made out at
four o’clock the smallest count that was
ever made at a municipal election re
sulted as follows:.
First Ward : For Mayor, E. T. Brown,
70; for alderman, Wm. Orr 70.
Second Ward: Brown 36, McDow-
eil 35.
Third Ward: Brown 44, Rucker. 42.
Fourth Ward: Brown 35, Myers 35.
The total number of votes cast Was
185 all over the city, which is indeed a
small showing.
The primary election has done the
work, and has taught the people of
Athens a lesson for future elections.
Yesterday was the quietest election
day ever witnessed in any town the size
of 'Athens, and all on account of the de
cisive effect of the primary several
weeks ago.
The officers elected yesterday were
the same as nominated by the primary
and no dark horse showed himself in
the arena. The new officers are: - Col.
E. T. Brown, mayor, and Aldermen
Orr, Rucker, McDowell, and Myers,
each of whom are among the most
prominent and useful citizens. They
will make good officers, and will lead
Athens onward with increased vigor on
her march to prosperity.

ANOTHER RAILROAD-
Athens to Be Connected With the Wee
From Lula—Other New Railroads.
A company is now forming to build
a railroad from Lula, the Junction of
the Northeastern, to tap the Marietta
& North Georgia road at Tate. It is
said that the projectors mean business,
and arrangements are about perfected
to begin work on the line. This will be
a most important road for Athens, as it
will give our people a long-cherished
wish, viz: a short and direct route to
Knoxville and the West, and enable
them to lay down cheap coal in Athens.
We do not know who the parties are
hacking this enterprise, but certainly
wish them success.
Col. Machen has now a large force at
work grading a railroad from Machen,
on the C. & M., to Eatonton, and it is
also his intention to extend the line to
Griffin, where it will tap the Georgia
Midland. Capt.- Bradeen, formerly
Street Commissioner in Athens, is lay
ing the track, having resigned his posi
tion on the Covington & Macon. This
road will prove a good feeder for Ath
ens, as our city will be brought in close
communication with both termini over
the C, & M. Our enterprising mer
chants will lose no time in taking pos
session of the new territory thus
opened.
Our merchants are rejoicing over the
assured success of the Macon and Bir
mingham road, which will give them
another and direct route to the West,
and enable us to lay down grain, meat
and hay at much cheaper rates.
' In fact, Athens is now in such a posi
tions that it is hard to build a railroad
anywhere in the State without benefit-
tin^ her.
Work on the G., C. 4 N. is now pro
gressing rapidly, and early in the new
year dirt will be broken around Athens.
LATEST NEWS FROM THE OUT
LAW AS TOLD BY A BIR
MINGHAM MAN.
A prominent citizen of Birmingham,
Ala., was in the Athens yesterday and
gave some interesting points in the life
of Rube Burrows, the great Alabama
outlaw, which will doubtless be of in
terest to Athenians away out here
where such uncivilized and barbarous
things as happen in and around Bir
mingham are never witnessed. He
says that although much of the news
paper gossip about this noted character
is all clap trap, that still there is such a
person as Rube Burrows, and a pretty
wild chap he is.
“Where is he now, do they think?”
asked The Banner repirter.
“You must ask me something easier,”
replied the gentleman frem Birming
ham. “No one, of course, can spot
him, and the Southern Express officers
and all the detectives have almost given
up in hopeless despair of ever finding
the man who really seems to claim the
attribute of ubiquity.. Rube Burrows
is very much of a flea under the fingers
of the detectives, for when they think
they have him he turns up away off in
some other section of ,th« country, and
really there is no telling where he .is
today or where he will be tomorrow.
Rube Burrows has a father wheffwas
seen by several gentlemen lately, Away’
over tne Western part of Alabama and
was interrogated as to the whereabouts
of his daring son., He refused to talk
much but said that the newspapers
were totally off about him. He says
that the Constitution’s interview with
him was the greatest farce imaginable,
and that the Birmingham Age-Herald’s
yarn was more than ridiculous.
“What is the, latest heard from the
festive Rube?” the reporter asked.
“Well, there was a letter receivey
a few days ago, from a man aw
off in Indian Territory, by the
Express office, asking what the
Southern Express Company would give
him to catch Rube. Those who are
anyways acquainted with the famous
chieftain personally, say that the
handwriting is that of Rube Burrows
himself, and that they believe that he
has skipped ott to that Territory and
sent the letter down to Birmingham,
just as one of his defiant tricks. He’s a
saucy fellow as well as a mean one, and
is always assuming a defiant air aleng
with his diabolical exploits.”
“Are they still in search of Rube and
his band of followers?” inquired the
reporter.
‘‘Yes, there are a number of detec
tives at work, trying to trace the devil
to his hiding place m the mountains of
Northern Alabama, where they believe
the bandits are quartered for the win
ter. A few days since, a party of police
and detectives arrested a crowd of train
robbers, and believed them to be a part #
of Rube’s gang. One thing is certain,
Rube is a dangerous man, and should
be taken up if the counrry can do it."

FATAL RESULT OF A FRENCH
MAN’S EXHIBITION OF
DARING.
New Orleans, Dec. 4.—[Special.]—
Last Friday night a large crowd as
sembled on a vacant lot in this city to
witness a novel and dangerous perform
ance by Prof. Baptiste Peynaud, who
was to spring from a tower one hun
dred »hd fifty feet high and fall into a
net stretched a few feet above the
ground. The night was foggy, and it
was difficult ** 860 ff.ojj) pl)§ top of the
tower to the net below'.
The ropes of the net being damp were
drawn taut, but Peynaud, nothing
daunted, proceeded up the high struc
ture to mrke the jump. He sprang in
to the air and came down with fright
ful rapidity. He struck the net, but the
ropes, not having their usual elasticity,
would not yield, and he was picked out
of the net unconscious and carried to
the hospital.
•It was discovered that his spinal col
umn had received a severe shock,which
induced paralysis, and though he soon
regained consciousness and conversed
freely with his friends, the injuries
were fatal, and this morning he died.
Peynaud’s body was conveyed to Bon-
nat’s undertaking establishment,where,
after i( had been prepared for burial,
it was placed in tlie funeral parlor.
Hundreds of people visited it during
the day, and a contribution box which
stood beside the coffin, received many
nickels and dimes, donated by the sym
pathizing public. Mrs, Peynaud, who
is young and handsome, sat beside the
body all day and her forlorn condition
gained for her many friends.
A party of Lexington’s most enter
prising citizens, who have the capital
to back them, have originated a plan of
building a telephone line from Lexing
ton to Athens via Crawford, Smitbso-
nia and Winterville. It will connect
with the central office in Athens and
all telephone subscribers in the city
will be in communication with these
places.
Col.gH. McWhorter is leading the
enterprise, and is already under fair
headway of pushing it through to a
speedy completion.’ Thus far he has
met with a great deal of encouragement
from the merchants and business men
of the different towns through which
the line will run, and there is no doubt
entertained about the success of his
efforts to raise a stock company for the
purpose of putting np the line.
The Oglethorpe Echo speaks confi
dently of the success of the undertaking
and the Lexingtonians universally re
gard it as a certainty already.
The telephone communication as pro-
posed by this plan will be extremely
beneficial not only to the people of
Lexington and the other towns through
which it will run, hut will be a great
convenience to the merchants of Ath
ens as well. It will greatly increase
their trade, and will be of service in
many ways.
It will place Lexington, Smithsonia,
Winterville and Crawford in direct tel
egraphic communication to distant
points all over the world by connecting
with the telegraph office in Athens.
We congratulate Lejfington and Col.
McWhorter on the great scheme and
sincerely hope their plans will reach
an early maturity.;
A NARROW ESCAPE.
dr. gerdine and family
STRICKEN WITH A DOSE OF
POISON.
The w ole city of Athens was thrown
into a wild state of excitement yester
day morning about ten o’clock upon
learning that Dr. Gerdine’s entire fam
ily had been poisoned.
‘The news was not long in circulating
all over the city, and carried regret and
anxiety with it as it went to every
household, for there is not a more esti
mable family or a more beloved one in
A:.hens than Dr. Gerdine’s.
Yesterday morning after breakfast.
Dr. Gerdine got into his buggy and
drove down to his office on College ave
nue with his usual promptness and reg
ularity. He had not been there but a
short while, however, when he began
feeling a sensation of pain and sickness
seizing him, and was about to get back
in his buggy and go home, when a boy
came in the office announcing that his
whole family were in bed and believed
themselves to be seriously poisoned by
something they had eaten at breakfast}.
Dr. Gerdine drove’ quickly to his
home. When he reached' there, how
ever. he was quite sick, and growing
worse each minute. He was powerless
to render medical aid to* his wife and
child-en, all of whom were sick in bed
from the sudden and unknown cause.
IJe sent for Dr. Will Carlton, who came
‘in great speed to find that the
entire family were poisoned.
He gave them emetics, and made every
effort to relieve them of their intense
pain and suffering.
Dr. Gerdine was so painfully affected
with the mysterious dose that he was
compelled to take morphine to relieve
his suffering. It was
A FRIGHTFUL SIGHT
to see the family all sick in bed, and
unable to wait one upon the other.
There were eleven victims in all upon
the lot, and they were all equally af
fected by the deathly dose of poison
which they h;id taken unawares.
THE‘origin OF THE POISON
was naturally believed to have been in
something that the family had eaten for
breakfast, and investigations were
made at once. It was thought to have
been in.tbe'buckwh at cakes that were
served at breakfast, but nothing defi
nite could be ascertained. Finally an
old darkey that worked on the lot vol
unteered to make a practical test of the
suspicious buckwheat cakes, and ate
two or three. Within a short time he
was as sick as any of the rest, and vom
ited incessantly for several hours.
Having settled the question of the
buckwheat cakes being the origin of the
poison, several of them together with a
quantity of the flour was sent to Dr.
White to be analyzed, so that it could
be ascertained whether the poison was
in the flour, or whether it was put in
while preparing the batter. Dr. White
is now at work making the analysis.
Dr. Gerdine had partly recovered
the effects last night, but Mrs. Gerdine
was still quite exhausted from the
frightful scare and sickening dose. It
was a narrow escape from a horrible
tragedy, and the hosts of friends of the
family, who felt so anxious for them
yesterday, are glad to know that noth'
ing serious is now feared, and that each
member is getting over the effects, and
will be totally recovered soon.
THE SMALL YOTE
A Roaring Farce.
Columbus, O., Dec. 4.—[Special.]—
Ex Judge W. A. West,of Bellefontaine,
who headed Ohio’s delegation to the Na
tional Silver Convention at St. Louis,
to-day submitted his report to Gov.
Foraker. The report characterizes the
Convention as a farce so far as being
conducive to any general benefit, and
states that the entire affair was manip
ulated as a machine in the interest of a
ring combination of Western silver syn
dicates. J
Yesterday Means Sewers and Other Iir-
, provements for Athens.
Owing to the fact that there was no
opposition to the democratic nominees
for city officers, one of the smallest
votes was cast ever polled at a general
election in this city. It is not a good
policy for democrats to refrain from
voting wheu there is no opposition to
their ticket, but in this instance it is a
fortunate thing for progressive Athens,
as the future of our city is now trem
bling in the balance, and to keep apace
with the spirit of the age we must make
some needed improvements on
streets.
Next month an election v ill he held
to build a system of sewers in Athens,
and under the law it requires that two-
thirds of the votes cast at the preceding
general election must be polled before
a city can issue bonds. Hence it will
only require 124 votes to carry sewers,
and this number can be had without the
slightest trouble.
In plain English, the election means
sewers, better streets, a city park and
many other enterprises necessary to
build up Athens. We feel assured, that
under our able and wise municipal offi
cers, no unnecessary expense will
be incurred, for the Mayor and all of
his board of Aldermen are conservative
men, who haye large interests at stake
in our city.
Athens has indeed cause to he proud
of her officers, and the people can rest
assured that while the city will he kept
fully apace with the spirit of the[age,
their interests will be carefully guarded.

will occupy next year.
Mr. W. A. Dale, our popular tinner,
completed the cap-piece for the steeple
of our new school building on. yester
day, and it is being placed in position
to-day. Apropos: If the hall in the
new school building is completed in
time, Mrs. McSmith, our popular and
efficient music teacher, assisted by the
young ladies and gentlemen of the
school, will give a most interesting en
tertainment here on Friday night, Dt
cember 20th. Under the able and skill
ful management of Mrs. McSmith, this
entertainment promises to be decidedly
the most enjoyable one ever given in
our town.
There is an epidemic of measles in
our town now, and nearly every family
has one or more cases on hand.
Yesterday’s Banner was not received
here until thU morning, owing, we sup
pose, to the carelessness of the postal
authorities between here and Athens.
Everyone here is delighted with the
first issue of the Banner in its consoli
dated form, and predictions are heard
on every side as to its brilliant future.

She Won’t Come,
Atlanta, December 4.—(Special)—
The Journal publishes this evening a
telegram from their staff correspondent
at Wadesboro, N. (J., who interviewed
Mrs. Nutall, the alleged wife of Dr. W.
R. Dale, a Baptist preacher in Atlanta.
The deserted wife declared to the Jour
nal man that she would not go to At
lanta to identify the person said to be
her husband, aud moreover refuses to
see him in case he is brought to her
home. This considerably complicates
matters as Mrs. Nutall is the only wit
ness whose testimony can settle the
question of the identity of Nutall and
Dale. Meanwhile the committee of
Baptist pastors in this city headed by
our Rev. Henry McDenald, are continuing
their investigations.
OUR CONGRESSMAN TALKS.
Dr. H. H. Garlton Says a Few Things
to a Newspaper Man.
Washington, Dec. 4.—(Special)—In
conversation with your representative
today, Congressman Carlton expresed
substantially the following views on
the congress just convened. Said he:
“I do not anticipate a very bitter fight
on the part of the Republicans at this
session of congress.. The result in Ohio
and Iowa has created in the republican
ranks depressed feelings. If the result
had;been different then hey would have
shown a disposition to be overbearing
1 believe that if such a thing is possi
ble the republicans will try to get the -
tariff question eutirely out of the next
presidential campaign, J they realizing
that tariff reform is on the ascendency
in many states.”
Dr. Carlton is delighted with the
manner in which the democratic mem
bers have started off, aiid says that if
they stick together like they have com
menced the republicans will have
little chance to. carry out any
of their pet schemes. In drawing
for seats, the one formerly occupied by
the lamented Sunset Cox fell to,him,
and while, the doctor laughingly said
that he was superstitious and had
rather not have it, there are those who
think that he is the proper one to fill
it. He endeavored to trade seats with
Barnes, but that gentleman declined.
Society Girls On a Lark.
St. Louis, Dec. 4.—(Special.)—So
ciety is discussing a novel affair
which occurred a few days ago when
a sce"e from “The School for Scandal,”
with all the scandal left out, was play
ed within the classic halls of the Uni
versity Club on the occasion of a dinner
party. Two fair belles of the haute ton
bad the leading parts in this little
comedy not set down on the bill of
fare. Botli young women are preven
ted by family affliction from accepting
invitations to social events just now,
and their hearts thirsted for some ex
citement. They induced a gentleman
friend to fix up a screen for them, and
were smuggled in behind it so that they
could see "all the festlvitis, drinking’
anon sparkling champagnies brought by-
male gallants who were in the secret.—
During the evening the screen fell and
exposed two blushing eavesdroppers to
the astonished guests. A precipitate
retreat followed. The ladies weie
Misses Smith and Garrison, represent
ing the very creme de da creme of St.
Louis society, and their harmless ad
ventures has caused no comment more
unfavorable than that which censures
their awkwardness in allowing the creen
to fall.

Strangled by a Horse.
Newark, Dec. 4—(Special)—Just af
ter Charles Edmondson-, a prominent
farmer of Bernardsville, had returned
from church yesterday, he went into
his barn to gather some eggs in one of
the stalls. As he stooped, the horse in
the stall jumped back, and the rope
which was attached to the halter formed
a loop that encircled Edmondson’s neck.
Then the horse broke loose and ran out
of the barn, dragging the farmer with
it. In a moment, Edmo dson was
strangled to death.
Cotton Picking Retarded. — A
number of farmers were in the city yes
