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. HE CITY’S ELECTION. DAY AND VOTE. A SMALL THE FESTIVE RULER. 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." ATHENS AND LEXINGTON. To Be Connected With Telephone Wires Forced His Confession. Milwaukee, Wis. Dec. 4.-(Special.) —A man known as “Old Peck,” who has been for some time an inmate of the county poor-house in Barron, thinking he was about to die, confessed the murder of a woodman eight years aco. He was assisted by his son June. 1 he hones of a man were found in the exact place described by Peck. In stead of dying Peck is now in a fair way to recover. He still sticks to his story; The son Jane is now serving a term in Waupun for larceny. h The Bridal Dress the Shroud, rwnfnfl Dec * 4—(Special)—Miss China Heft, aged 16, died to-day at Bowmansville. She was to have been married on the day she was taken sick sar buri,id in A LEAP TO DEATH. 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. Harmony Grove, Dec. 4.—(Special) —Nearly everybody in our town moving this week into the houses they 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. Last Monday, Lucinda Taylor, col carried her infant child to the fielci where she was picking cotton and left it in a cradle, while she was at work The cradle caught fire from some adja cent burning leaves, ar.d the child was literally roasted a ive. Its face, eyes, arms and hands were burned to a crisp!, and death relieved it of its sufferings in about two hours after it was burned. -4, « » 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.

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.
