'111E COVINGTON & MACON’S
SPACIOUS NEW DEPOT.
Within a few «lays the Covington A
Macon railroad wiil begin the vrectum
of a handsome new depot ou the com
pany’s hind in Athens.
It wid be a large and spacious depot
and will be arrange*! to contain both
the freight and passenger departments
of the roads in Athens. The building
row used by the company is entirely
loo small for the immense bus ness of
the road and the necessity for a new
j nd larger one is growing more de
manding each day. .
A Banner reporter interviewed Mr.
Postcll, the Athens agent of the C. &
>1. yesterday, about the company's
plans for erecting the new depot. He
Sai “The building will be commenced
the first of next month and will be erect
ed by the company, there being no con
tract for its construction that I know
of. It will be a large depot, fifty feet
broad and one hundred and twenty
feet l >ng and will be placed upon the.
ground now occupied by the negro
church near our present depot. This
land belongs to the company, but the
church has been given to the negroes if
they will move it away. We have ask
ed them to move it at once. Our depot
will be arranged fn a most ccr venient
manner both for the passengers and
the freight traffic. We will have ticket
offices in front of the building which
will connect with two waiting rooms by
windows from die side. To the rear of
this will be our freight departments
which will have a platform built ex
tending full iii to the track ou the one
sill*; a ml a delivery platform extending
to the street on the other. In this way
we can manipulate our freights very
speedily and satisfactorily to all par
ties concerned. The building will be
constructed of wood, as we are out of
the lire limits and there is no necessity
of a brick structure. It will cost be-
tween four and five thousand dollars
perhaps, and will be as complete a de
pot as can be found in this section of
the state.”
It is said that the G., O. and X. will
unite with the Covington and Macon
at Athens and that the business of both
roads will be operated at the same de
pot. This will build up an enormous
traffic for both our new roads.
It is now no Ion era matter of doubt
that the Blue Ridge and Atlantic rail
road will be extended from Tallulah
Falls to Knoxville. Capt. W. B.TIiom-
as has made every arrangement for the
extension and it is Only a question of
time.

Some Reckless Miscreant Attempts to
Wreck the Georgia Train Last Night.
Fast night as the Georgia train
which reaches our city each night about
ha'f past seven, reached the cut about
a mile from the citv, it eamo very near
being wrecked, together with all of its
precious human freight.
The train had slowed up, as it always
does when it approaches the city, anti
just as it reached the far end of the cut,
the cow-catcher struck against an iron
bar, which had been placed by some in
human creature upon the track for the
purpose of accomplishing the destruc
tion of the train. The iron was dragged
by the engine for about two hundred
yards, when it became disengaged and
dropped along side of the track. The
train was quickly stopped, ami upon
going back to the spot where tho iron
lay, it was found to he a large bar,
weighing probably a hundred pounds,
or more. Xo elue was left as to the
identity of tho dastard who placed the
obstruction on the track, hut it is safe
to say that hemp would, wirhout much
ceremony or unnecessary delay, encir
cle i he neek -f the person to whom the
crime could be attached. The matter
created quite a sensation in the city last
night, and recalled the times, throe
years ago, when similar attempts were,
made to wreck trains on the same road.
It is certain that the perpetrator of such
an attempt had better lay low. He is
certain not to be the recipient of much
consideration at the hands of the
Athens people.
RAIDING IN OGLETHORPE.
Cdlocior Murray Runs Upon Two Stills
Near Maxoys.
On Saturday morning Deputy Collec
tor Murray made a raid down in Ogle
thorpe county about a mile and a half
from Maxeys, upon two stills
operation on the place of Mr. R. S. Gil
liam.
.Mr. Murray was startled at the dis
covery until he l-arncd that Mr. Gil
liam had not in any way been connected
with the operation of the stills. He had
not even been aware of their being oper
ated on bis place.
For more than twelve months Mr.
Gilliam has been an invalid suffering
great torture from that dread affliction,
paralysis, having lost use of one eye
during that time. The stills that were
at work on his place were run by some
negroes it seems whose lawlessness was
unknown to Mr. Gilliam.
lie is a worthy citizens of Oglethorpe
and is a gentlemen of excellent charac
ter Since Mr. Murray found the two
stills on his place he has set to work
and found others. He wrote to Mr.
Murray yesterday that he knew where
lie could find sixty-eight gallons of
whiskey near the locality of the two
stills. Collector Murray went down the
road yesterday afternoon to seize the
whisky and went on to Atlanta ou busi
ness for the revenue department.
Oglethorpe county is usually free
from such lawlessness, and every one
who knew Mr. Gilliam will be glad to
know that he had nothing to do with
the distilleries.

East Athens had quite a Maze j ooter-
day.
About five o’clock the bell at Oconee
church sounded the alarm and the *ie.ise
smoke that curled threateningly '‘rom
one of the prettiest little cottages fn East
Athens became the object of tue gn/.eof
everybody on this side of the 0*->nee.
It seemed that the whole of Broad street
assembled at the summit of Uio bill on
South Broad, to watch the fiendish
fiames devour the handsome little cote
tage on the opposite hillside.
'The fire was rather inaccessible to re
lief from the fire companies, and for
quite a while the fiames preyed upon
tho house unprevented. When the
Hook and Ladder Company reached the
scene one house had fallen in and an
other which stood near by had caught
upou its root, and was fast becoming a
victim to the fire fiend.
By the strenuous and untiring efforts
of the firemen this building, howeyer,
was saved, as all of their attention was
given to it. The first house that caught
was completely destroyed,together with
ill of its contents except an organ an t
two matresses. The house belonged to
Mr. Lewis Connalton and was rented to
Mr. S. Schouse who occupied it.
The loss is estimated altogether at
eight hundred dollars, which includes
furniture. There was no insurance.
ORIGIN OP 1UE FIRE.
The fire originated in the kitchen
which adjoined the dwelling, and is
supposed to have come from the stove
pipe. There was no one in the house
except two little children, as Mr
Schouse is an engineer on the Coving-
ing & Macon road, and was on the
road, while Mrs. Schouec had come
over the river to do some shopping.
She had jnst gotten hack home when
the fire was discovered
REMARKABLE FAITH.
Mr. Connalton, the owner of the
building that was burned, was not at
all aggrieved at the loss, and professed
such child-like trust in the providence
of Heaven that he laughed outright in
the face of the fire fiend. When asked
by a Banner reporter about his losses,
he answered:
“Oh, I’ve lost nothing, I am young
and the world’s heforome, I eamcgaiu
alithut lias been taken away. Besides,”
lie continued, “the Lord knows bust
and he would not take anything from
me without paying me back in the long
run. Oil, no, I’ve lost nothing.”
When asked about insurance, lie said:
“Yes, my property and me too are
all insured in the mercy and grace of
God. My loss is all covered by ample
insurance in faith.” lie accepted the
situation gracefully indeed.

AN EXCELLENT SERMON.
Chancellor Boggs Preaches an Able Ser
mon at the Presbyterian Church-
Dr. Boggs preached a powerful ser
mon on Hubbath last at the Presbyte-
riuu church in our city, from the text:
By the deeds of the law shall no llesli
be justified in his sight; for by the law
is the knowledge of sin.” We give a
brief note of part of the sermon:
There are three reasons wiiy no one
can be justified on the ground that lie
has kept the commandments.
1st. Even if he has kept them in a
sort of general way and failed at a sin
gle point, “whosoever shall keep the
whole law and yet offend in one point,
lie is guilty of all.”
Many think if they keep one or two
or a few of tile ten commandments it
will he all right with them. If honest
and kind to the needy, they think they
are safe, but the wire think otherwise.
2nd. The heart, ns well as tho hand,
must keep the commandments. For ex
ample : Our Lord applies tho 6th com
mandment not only to killing but to
ang* r and abusive words.
3rd. To avail in entering heaven, the
commandment must be kept, every line,
from ehildhood to death. .“When
righteous man turns from his right
eousness and commits iniquity *
bis righteousness shall not be remem
bered.” Who can siand such tests at
these? But stepping out of self into
Christ by faith, we can be justified,
sanctified, saved. He closed with astir
ring appeal to all to accept the great
salvation.
The Sabbath afternoon lectures of the
Chancellor at the University to the stu
dents form a most attractive feature—
singular, nelpful and educative in the
things of a higher life. The Chancellor
has special gifts for this important
work. Many of our people esteem it a
great privilege to be allowed to attend
thfe service and some of them avai. them
selves of the opportunity. The minds
of old citizens aocur to former times,
when college revivals occurred more of
less frequently,and looked forward with
hope and pleasure for their return.
NEGROES’ON ^STRIKE.
They are Making no Contracts in Jackson
County.
It is said that the negroes around
Center, the first station on the North
eastern railroad have entered upon a
strike that is serious aud threatening
m its present aspect. They claim to
have grown tired of farm work aud have
determined to have, “no more of it m
their’n.” The white people have secur
ed no labor for the ensuing year on
their farms, and the situation is begin
ning to look squally for them, os the
negroes say they have no intention of
going to work for the whites, and are
determined in their course. They are
now working about by the day, cutting
wood or doing little jobs, jnst to the
extent of keeping the wolf from thei
doors.
Investigation discloses the fact that
negroes have formally organized

ity, and the cause seems to rest upon

Mr. C. K. Murray, of Charlottesville,
