THE ATHENS BANNER: ATHENS, GEORGIA, JANUARY 21, 1S90.
ODR NEW ROAD.
The Stockholders Hare an En-
The Road is Lined with
Thousands. of Hands.
Contracts (or Grading in Carolina all
Let—Within Thirty Days Dirt
Will be Broken on the Geor
gia Side.
Col. Smith’s Proposition.
It was an enthusiastic meeting.
The Georgia, Carolina and Northern
stockholder’s are overflowing with good
will, gladness and hope.
To be convinced that their hopefull-
ness is fully warranted needed but to
be present at their adjourned regular
annual meeting yesterday ;to hear the
reports made by tlie ottieers; and listen
to the words that fell from the lips of
the prominent railroad men that were
present at that meeting.
It was not a business meeting, for it
only lasted a half hour. It was not a
crowded meeting, for owing to the lack
of business many of the stockholders
were absent. But it was au enthusias
tic meeting in the extremest sense.
'. he meeting assembled promptly at
12 o’clock in the parlors of the Com
mercial hotel. Mr. £. K. Hodgson was
elected chairman and Mr. A. L. Hull
secretary of the meeting, and the ses
sion moved right oif to business with a
hearty earnestness. A number of
prominent railroad men were present,
who added to the general enthusiasm of Judge
the meeting. among those present
were President John M. Kobiiison, of
the Seaboard and Koanoke railroad,
viee-Presideut K. C. Harper, of the
same road, ltoth of whom are here from
Baltimore u their ear; President W.
G. Childs, of the Co.umbia and New
berry railroad, Gen. Hope, President of
the Georgia, Carolina aud Northern,
Hon. L. W. Perrin, of Abbeville, IJon.
W. A. Sliands, of Clinton, Col. Waller,
of Green wood and many others.
THE OFFICKlt’S HKPOKT.
As soon as the meetiug had been call
ed to order by chairman Hodgson, the
reports of the different officers were t
special order. The president, Gen
Hoke, made his report which spoke
volumes for the general view and con
dition of the road. The general mana
ger made a report which showed the
rapid progress that has been made in
the const) notion of the road, etc., all of
which the Bannkr has kept its readers
posted upon from time to time. Sec
retary aud Treasurer, A. L. Hull, made
a report which gave the immense fig
ures of outlay that have grown in
mammoth proportions upon ius books
since the work began on the road.
All of the reports showed the con
struction aud finances of the road to be
in a mos flourishing condition. They
showed that a great deal of capital
has been expended on the road
which itself speaks for the rapidity and
substantial manner in which the Voari
is progressing. The road that has thus
far been built is of a first-class order,
having had excellent officers in charge
of the work, and plenty of labor and
capital to back them. There lias been
no cheap work done on the road, and
although the forces have come most
rapidly this way their work of grading
aud equipping the road bed has been of
the best order. All of tlie reports evi
denced that fact.
THE CONTRACT’S FOB GRADING.
AU of the contracts for grading the
road in Carolina have been let, and the
grading is being rapidly pushed this
way. Within thirty days time the au
thorities hope to have the contracts for
grading cn this side of the river let,
and will hurry the work on this side
the SavanfaSiffi as much as on the other
side, it is intended to put two forces
of graders at Athens, one of which
will work towards Atlanta and the
other towards the Savannah. They
will consist of a large number of hands,
and will not be long iii finishing the
work of grading in Georgia. This is
tiie most encouraging news that has
yet been told about the G., C. & N.,
and will be read with much interest by
every Athenian.
THE DIRECTORS MEET.
Immediately after the meeting of
the stockholders, the directors of the
road held a meeting. Only the election
of several committees and a director in
place of Hon. T. E. McLure occurred.
To thisplace Mr. R. S. Lick was unan
imously elected.
The following committee on finance
was chosen: Messrs. Childs, Hoffman
and A. H. Hodgson.
Messrs. Perrin and Nicholson were
appointed inspectors of elections. The
directors’ meetiug was a continuation of
that of the stock-holders in point of en
thusiasm and general good will.
THE BRIDGE OVER THE SAVANNAH.
The contract has been let for building
the bridge over the Savannah river.
The work of construction will begin at
ouce aud the bridge will be finished in
season for the tracks to be laid from
Carolina to Georgia. In this wav it
will be seen that the authorities are
working every department of the road
to a simultaneous completion. The
tra"'' will be laid closely behind the
grading, and the road bed as it wends
>ts way through the two states will
bring with it the shrill whistle of the
“iron horse.” This is the way the
work goes on.
AN OFFICE IN ATHENS.
An office of the new road will be es
tablished in Athens within thirty or
sixty days time and will have control of
the letting of the contracts for grading
in Georgia. The officers have not yet
been named, but will be placed here in
short time. This will place Athens in
direct communication with the grading
forces and our citiaons will keep posted
fully as to the progress of the work that
being done from one end of the line
to the other.
BONDS ALL BOLD.
The treasurer’s report showed that
&1I of the bonds of the road from Mon-
roe to Atlanta had been issued aud the
jnoney warn in the treasury of the road.
The stock sold rapidly when placed on
sale and waa bought up by New York
and Baltimore in diad earnest. This
not only goes to assure a speedy com
pletion of the G., C. & N., but shows
with what good faith it is esteemed by
the railroad magnates of the great
metropolitan cities of the Northeast.
‘ WHAT ABOUT WASHINGTON?
The proposition of the citizens of
Washington about their project to tap
the Q., C. & N. at Elberton was dis
cussed briefly by the directors Messrs.
Hoke Smith and Asbury Hodgson were
appointed a committee to confer with
the citizens of Washington with regard
to their proposed road. From all indi
cations Washington means business in
the matter, and will make a strenuous
effort to build the W. & A. branch.
COL. SMITH TALKS.
Col. James M. Smith,jof Smithsonia,
came up yesterday to confer with the
directors of the G.. C. & N. with a
view of getting the road to come by
Smithsonia. there connecting with his
new road, instead of running by the
F ve Forks as the lsst survey makes it
to run. His proposition is an impor
tant one as it shows by this argument.
Col. Smith says that he will
build to Sandy Cross, in
Oglethorpe county,where he says Wash
ington will build a road to meet bis
line, both connecting,with the G., C. &
N. Col. Smith says that if the road is
cb inged and made to pass Smithsonia,
he will give the road at least 5,000 bales
of cotton annually that it would not re
ceive otherwise. Col. Smith says this
route would give the G., G. & N. at
least $30,000 in traffic each year that the
Georgia Railroad will get if tue route is
not adopted.
THE GENERAL ASPECT.
The general aspect of the Georgia,
Carolina A Northern is promising in
deed. W itn the road already finished
to Clinton and grading contracts for
Carolina all let, and those for the Geor
gia side to be let within thirty days,
most probably, it certainly seems that
the people along the proposed route
should rejoice. Gen. Hoke has truly
said that looking back over the progress
of our road we have but little to regret,
and .much, very much to be thankful
for. <■»' •' r t3 Jtl A
President Robinson of the Seaboard &
Roanoke says he confidently hopes to
have his private car drawn over the G.,
C, & N. when he comes to the next
stockholders meeting, and will have it
stopped right in the heart of Athens,
during his stay in the Classic City.
In all probability the G.,C. & N. will
be finished to Athens within eight
months, and will move the next cotton
crop from this section of the State.

A HANDSOME BRIDGE-
Herrington Refuses the Bide for
Building it.
Judge S. H. Herrington the worthy
ordinary went out to the paper mills
yesterday to look after the Building of
a long bridge across Barber and Mc
Nutt Creeks which fork at that place.
The County court has ordered a new
bridge to be built at this place and it
was at first intended by Judge Her
rington to have au iron bridge to span
the two creeks. Bids for such a bridge
were advertised for, and a number of
them poured in from Chattanooga,
Knoxville and Cincinnati. Upon in
vestigation, however, yesterday Judge
Herrington refused to accept any o
the bids for the iron bridge and has de
cided to have a lattice bridge construc
ted.
The length of the bridge will bo one
hundred and ninety feet spanning both
of the creeks, and will be higher than
the ordinary bridge. Bids will be ad
vertised for at once and the bridge will
be built before April lst._
Tlie great difference in tlie costs of
an iron and a lattice bridge caused
Judge Herrington to decide in favor of
the latter.
The Fruit Crop.—Those who profess
to know are predicting that the mild
ness and lateness of the winter will
cause the smallest fruit crop ever known
in tlie state, as the peach trees are be
ginning to bud all over the country
only to be blighted by the frosts which
will inevitably come in the course of
the remaining winter months. The
orange crop is perhaps the only one that
will not suffer.
Sixty and Costs.—J. O. Christian,
charged with selling whisky in Athens
plead guilty and was fined sixty dollars
and costs by the mayor. The city’s ex
chequer is ’getting full of b ind tiger
fees, and Mayor Brown is fast exter
minating the eyeless beast from the soil
of the Classic City.
Broke His Leo.—Last night about 8
o’clock as Mr. Bose Mathews and Mr.
William Mathews were riding iu a bug
gy near the upper bridge the mule,
which was attached to it became fright
ened and ran away turning over the
buggy, and in so doing breaking the leg
of Mr. William Mathews. At a late
hour last night he was restiug easily

University has in his possession the
gold pen with which his father, Gener
al Howell Cobb signed the Constitution
of the Confederate States. It is made
of heavy gold with the antique work

Prof. Cobb, and surely it should be for

Tampa, Fla.,special to the New York
World: Slavery was abolished in the
United States more than a quarter of a
century ago, yet the “ ristitutiofi” sti 1
survives here in tlie State of Florida,the
slave owners being the remnant of the
Semiiiole tribe. The * retreat Of
these Indians is almost as inaccessi
ble as the North Pole; or the middle
of the dark continent. Nevertheless, a
party penetrated the morasses, visited
the Seminoles, and saw the slaves.
It was an exhausting and somewhat
perilous journey, as anybody who ever
saw a Florida swamp will readily ap
preciate. We left Kissimmee for a tour
among the hundreds of lakes that lie in
the morasses and amid the hammocks
between Lake Tobopettaliga and Great
Okeechobee and the everglades. We had
bought a steamjyacht in Jacksonville,
shipped it by rail to Kissimmee, and
there launched it at the northern end of
the lake. We had a guide John Pierce,
an old scout of the Seminole war, who
aided General Scott very much by bis
lerfect knowledge of this marshy region
n pursuit of Tallahassee, OSceola and
other Seminoles in that war. We steam
ed rapidly down the lake through one of
Disston’s drainage canals, then through
Cypress Lake, through another canal
ami then into the broad, low, unwhole
some sheet of mud known as Kissimmee
lake. ;
It is not generally known but it is
true that the Keystone Improvement
Company have lowered the water in this
lake nine feet arid recovered from the
marsh millions of acres of black muck
that is the finest soil in the world for
the cultivation of sugar cane. We then
make a detour and ran up the sources>of
the Arbucklc river, m ni-m
AFTER RUNNING INTO TIGER LAKE
we found t ic water dn the Btrait be
tween that lake and Rosalia so shallow
and obstructed by saw grass that we
were forced to leave the yacht and wade
though the marsh knee deep in slimy
water, filled with alligators, around the
northeastern shore of Lake Rosatia.' It
was a day’s march of the meanest walk
ing Ihave ever doneeven in the Florida
swamps. There was no stopping In tlie
mud. Onr ouly way out was to go
straight- ahead or go back, and none of
us proposed returning.
So we dragged our heavy feet and
weary frames through the mud and saw
grass from daylight until just before
dark, wheu we suddeuly emerged from
the most dismal of swamgs upon a white
sandy and shewing beach. It looked
like a Michigan lake taken up with its
beach and blue water and put down
amid thiswilu, savage-bunted morass.
On the further side of the.beach, at
some distance a bold bluff rose sheer
from the water and sloped away into
the morass in green hammock land, and
smoke could be seen rising from the
trees that .towered about the lower tang

we managed to converse a little with
them. The man 'Who Seemed to be in

NOT THE BENDERS.
The Niles Women About to Be Relieved
From the Kansas City Jail.
. Kansas. City, Jan. 15.—(Special)—
It is altogether probable that the two
women alledged to be Mrs. John and
Kate Bender, who are now confined in
the Labette count}-jail, awaiting trial
for the murder of Dr. York, will be
liberated in a few days. Mr. James an
attorney of this city, represented the
women at the preliminary trial. Since
that time he lias been quietly at work
collecting evidence which will estab
lish the fact that the women are Mrs.
Almira Griffeth and Mrs. Sarah E. Da
vis. He now claims to have affidavits
showing that from 1870 to 1874 these
two women were in Michigan. The
crimes with which the Benders are
charged were all committed during
these years. On being acquainted of
this fact the prosecuting attorney of
Labette county wrote the attorney for
the defendants telling him that if he
could establish these facts by affidavits
he would discharge the prisoners. Mr.
James will leave for Oswego next week
with his affidavits.
Work of Fionas.
Oxford N. C., Jan. 16,—[Speeial.]—
News has just reached hereof a fiend
ish crime in Tallyho township, in this
cou nty, at Granville, twelve miles from
here. Mrs Slierrell, a respectable wid
ow lady and daughter of Stanford Dun
can, chanced to go out of doors about
9 o’clock Thursday night, when she
was seized by two men. They at once
told her if she made any alarm they
would kill her. They carried her a
short distance from her house, where
they assaulted her. Recovering con
sciousness, she returned to her house
and barred the doors, where she re
mained until the 'next morning, being
afraid to venture to the nearest neigh
bors to give an alarm. When day
broke she immediately proceeded to
her mother’s, and at once informed her
of wliat had taken place. Mrs. Slierrell
says she is uuable to say whether the
men were white or colored, but from
their voices she thinks they were white.
Ariried men are now seouring the
woods in every direction in search of
the rascals. If caught they will be
lynched.
West Virginia Legislature.
Charleston, W. Va., January 15.—
[Special]— i he legislature convened at
noon to-day to decide the gubernatorial
contest. Judge Fleming and General
Goff are both here, and politely but
firmly decline to be interviewed,
although both seem hopeful. Three
republican senators are absent on ac
count of sickness, as is also one member
of tlie house, and two democratic mem
bers have not yet arrived, leaving a
democratic majority of three on joint
ballot as the matter stands, but it is
understood that the democrats are not
disposed to push matters at this time.
No democratic conference was held
last night, and it is understood no defi
nite plan of action lias yet been decided
upon by either side. The general im
pression is that the session will be long
and interesting, resulting in theseatin
of Fleming; but this is not eonsidere
absolutely certain by his friends.
A STORY OF HORROR.
WANTED TO LEaPTO DEaTH.
Jacob D. Clevenger, a Maniac, Causes a
Sensation in a Chicago Court.
Caicago, Jan. 15.—[Spe-cial],—Judge
Prendergast had an exciting time with
a maniac for a few minutes yesterday
morning. The unfortunate was Jacob
D. Cleveuger, a clerk in the employ of
the Adams Express eompany. He is
thirty-eight years old, married, and a
cousin of Dr.’S. V. Clevenger, a well-
known specialist in nervous and mind
troubles. Dr. Clevenger said his kins
man had worked without a rest for
twelve years, and the strain had been
too great on hifn and resulted in Insani
ty of both a homicidal and stiicid&I
character. The man was taken by two
court officers to a small chamber back
eftheiudge’s court-room. It is here
that the judge frequently hears insane
cases when he has a case 'on trial in
court. The window in the small apart
ment had been left open for air, and as
the judge enteied the chamber he saw
Clevenger standing on the window-sill
in the attitude of a diver and jnst on
the point of plunging headlong into the
street-
“Grab him, grab him quick,” cried
the court, and two bailiffs caught the
man, but not a moment too soon.
Laughing, Clevenger went up to the
judge and tapped him twice on the
forehead, saying: “1 know you. lam
a phrenologist.” The judge smiled
and moved around to the other side of
the table. Clevenger was sent to
Kankakee.
Borrowing a Nuisance.
Of all the bad habits a housekeeper
falls into,borrowing is the w-orst. There
is no need to borrow anything at any
time. Three times in one week have I
been the guest at the same house, and
every time just as the. blessing was
asked a servant came in and announced
“the pests,” viz. the borrower. The
meal was delayed and everything
thrown out of working gear. A little
care and forethought would have saved
all the trouble;both to borrower and the
one borrowed from. No one likes to
be bothered to lend just one article and
then another. It is a great nuisance,
besides, lending is expensive; for the
borrower is nearly always a thoughtless
person and neglects to return borrowed
articles. Housekeeper.

An Interview With a Nashville Man
About “Shooting Into Libby.”
Nashville, Tknn., Jan. 15—[Special]
—The American lias published an inter
view with Mr. Tom W. Neal, an old
journalist of this city, concerning tlie
recent fanning of sectional strife by
certain papers. The interview narrates
some horrible stories, which have
caused no little interest here. In speak
ing to the American-Mr. Neal says:
“I cannot look on tue Maxwell bouse
as I did this morning, without renum
bering as bloody arid gratuitous a trag
edy as ever stained the records of our
civil war.
“In the winter of 1864, ,1 was city
editor of the Daily Press, with editorial
rooms over Demovijle’s drug store. Op

unfinished condition, then used by tlie
Federate as a prison for Confederate
soldiers, and it was often crowded, too.
“One morning as I cauie down stairs
and turned down Cherry toward Union,
I saw a Federal guard taking his smok
ing gun from his shoulder, while peo
ple were standing around with ex
pressions of horror on their faces. .On
asking a citizen what was the matter,
he answered with indignation anil sub
dued fear: ‘Look! That- Federal guard
has murdered a Confederate soldier.’
“Looking to the fourth story of the
Maxwell house, I saw a dead Confed

window and blood streaming from him
down the, walls,.and spattering the
pavement below. The guard had orders

to go back or he would shoot. The boy

responded by playfully waving his
hand at the guard.': In an instant a
bullet went crashing through his brain,
and he was a dead man. The Confeder
ate prisoners declared they had received
no intimation of any sneb order.”
Rumors of Resurrectionists.
Raleigh, N. C., Jan. 36,—[Special.]—
Two or three wild rumors gained enr-
rcncy here on the streets to-day, and
for a time created considerable sensa
tion. One was to the effect that J. C
Parrish, who was hanged here on Fri
day, had fallen into the hands of his
friends and had been restored to life.
Another rumor was that Parrish had
been exhumed by body-snatchers from
the burying-ground for the country
poor, where he was interred, and his
body had been taken to Shaw Universi
ty, a colored institution here, for pur
pose of dissection. Investigation re
vealed the faet that Parrish had him
self agreed that his body should be dis
sected after he was executed, and that
that part of the story was to that extent
true.
Abducted Dixie,
Chattanooga, Jari. 15,—[Speoial.]—
Constable Jack Muncy and a notorious
woman named Naomi Cavenaugh were
arrested to-day charged with abducting
Dixie Smith, a girl barely tenyeaasof
age. The child, when found by the
lice, was in a state of intoxicaton,

Brice Elected Senator.
Columbus, Ohio, Jan. 14—[Special]
—The alleged bolters of the democratic
nomination for United States senator
did not materialize in the legislature
this morning.
Calvin S. Brice was elected to the

The Sick Czar.
London, Jan. 15.—[Special]—It

most Incredible rapidity, until the lower
tion of the little fellow’s person from the n
of his back down ' o his knees was one solid rash,
ugly, painful, blotched, and malicious. We had
no rest at night, no peace by day. Finally we
were advised to try Cntlcnra Remedies. The ef
fect was simply marvelous. In three or four
weeks a complete core wos wrought, leaving the
little fellow’s person as white and healthy as
though he had never been attacked. In my
