All Athens will beshoeked tills morn-*
ing to learn of the death of one of the
most whole-souled, generous-hearted
and popular men the city has ever
known. Tiii-d night, at. 9:25 the soul of
Mr. ( has. r>. Vincent passed from this
vale of tears to i better world, where
the hardships ami toils of this life will
he forgotten, lie leaves to mourn his
loss a loving wife and one young daugh
ter, besides countless numbers of devo
ted frieuds. llis popularity was attest
ed last year when lie was elected to the
position of Clerk of the Superior (’ourt
ol this county. This position he has
hehl since then, and has done his work
in a most satisfactory manner.
Mr. Vincent was horn in this county
some forty years ago, and has been liv
ing in and around Athens allliis life,
thus giving onr citizens a good chance
to learn h s true character, and the fact
of his great popularity is a splendid
te.siinionia! of his worth. lie li.nl been
in delicate health for some months, hut
no serious apprehensions were felt, and
even up to a short while before his deal It
lie walked around the room and talked
to those present, lie was taken with
convulsions about s o'clock, and died
at t he time mentioned.
All w ho heard tlie news la-t night
were intensely shocked, and as one gen
tleman expressed himself on hearing it.
“Impossible! Charlie can’t lie dead.”
No man in Athens had more friends,
ind his loss will he mourned to such a
degree as is seldom seen.
Friends and relatives flocked to liis
home last night to comfort the heart
broken wife and loving child. Mr.
Vincent was married some three years
ago to Miss Hightower, of Jonesboro,
and his devotion to her since then has
only been equalled by the tender love
bestowed upon him by this noble wo
man.
The shook upon Mrs. Vincent was
terrible, and all Athens extend their
heart-felt sympathy to the bereaved
wife and child. The funeral will occur
this afternoon, and the friends and rela
tives of the family are requested to lie
present at the Methodist church at half
past four.
Special by News Telegram Association.
Atlanta,.Ga., June 27.—A telegram
from Rev. Mr. l’ortit, one of the miss
ionaries of the Baptist mission to Culm,
announces that Rev. A. J. Diaz the
superintendent of the mission, has been
put in jail by the authorities at Havana.
No details are given except that Mr.
Porta says that “the authorities have
violated the law,” and that “protec
tion” from the American government is
invoked. It is supposed that the
charge against Mr. Diaz is something
affecting his work as a missionary, lie
is an American citizen, is the represen
tative of the Southern Baptist conven
tion, and has been an able, wise, con
servative, and very efficient missionary.
The home hoard of the convention,
located in Atlanta, have taken the prop
er steps to bring the matter to the at
tention of the state department at
Washington, and will do everything in
their power to protect their honored
in ationary.
nev. A. J. Diaz, is a native Cuban.
Several years since, while residing in
Brooklyn, N. Y., he liecame an Ameri
can citizen. About that time he was
taken seriously ill and while at the hos
pital, was carefully uursed by a pious
Bap.lit tad}’. Oil restoration to health,
he joined tiie Baptist church and soon
afterwards, on liis volition, began to
preach, having returned to Cuba, lie
was found out by the Baptists, and was
put in charge of the entire mission work
on the island of Cuba, lie was sub
jected to some rough treatment at that
time by the government, and for some
time afterwards. lie has made several
visits to Atlanta and has preached at
the First and Second Baptist churches.
He is personally known to thousands of
Southern Baptists. He attended every
session of the Southern Baptist Conven
tion.
More than a year ago lie persuaded
the Home Mission board, located in At
lanta, to buy a large theatre building in
Havana, as he could tind no other build
ing large enough to hold the multitudes
who wanted to hear him preach. The
Theatre Hane was bought at a cost, of
sixty thousand dollars, and he uow
preaches in the main auditorium.
lie lias established twenty-one church
es on the island.
lie is a hold and aggressive man. and
as no details are given as to why lie is
arrested, it is possible he lias, in prose
cuting liis work, run against some an
cient custom, or has shocked some
prominent and influential Spanish resi
dent, of < ’uha.

dents have no iove, or even respect, ter

EXTERMINATION IN FLORIDA,
Hunters Wiping out the Alligators and
Plumage Birds
Gin. an no, Fla., June 2(5.—For years
th6 hide and plume hunters have been
systematically destroying the alligators
and aquatic birds of this section for
profit. A few years ago every lake,
pond and stream was full of alligators
A tourist might now spend half a year
in this state, and unless he made per
sistent ellorts he would not be likely to
see a wild alligator. The blue heron is
the only plume bird which is not nearly
exterminated, and that is because the
bird is very wary and the plumes are
not very valnahle. The water turkeys,
curlews,whoopingeranes and lisli hawks
are spared because there is no protit in
killing them. . ...
The destruction ot the ibis and white
heron is particularly unfortunate, be
cause one of their principal articles of
diet is small snakes.
The extermination of the plume birds
and alligators is so nearly complete that
it is not profitable to pursue them as
constantly as before, hut enough will
prohably bo killed to keep them from
increasing much.
This matter is attracting considerable
attention, and it is possible that the
legislature may do something for the
protection of the birds.

J. J. Patterson Goes to the Penitenti
ary for Seven Years.
Special by News Telegram Association.
Atlanta, June 20.—.1. J. Patterson,
who found liis wife with another man
mt at Grant Park and cut her throat,
lias been sentenced to seven years in
the penitentiary. I pon liis first trial
lie wa» given ten years; this time he
ets seven. Judge Richard II. Clark
created something of a sensation by the
strong language he used in delivering
the sentence. Among other things he
said:
FOUND GUILTY.
There is not a single circumstance to
relieve the crime of its enormity, and 1
am surprised to think there are many
who believe Patterson should not suffer
for nearly killing his wife because she
had been unfaithful to him. I am ut
terly surprised tnat anybody in this civ
ilized country should entertaimsuch a
sentiment, aud that even the jury
should recommend the criminal to the
mercy of the court. The sentiment
that a man has a right to kill his wife
for infidelity is one that should obtain
onl« among tue savages of the Congo
country that we read so inuch about
from Stanley and his men. Patterson’s
crime, notwithstanuing the sentiment,
still stares ns in the face in all its origi
nal enormity. The people of Georgia
have no idea of the embarrassment in
which solicitors and judges, whose duty
it is to administer the uiiminal law, arc
placed on account of the prevailing sen
timent of the people in favor of crimi
nals. Juries are so reluctant tocou-
vint. and even the supreme court tribu
nal is so prone to set aside eonvictious,
that, solicitors and judges find them
selves seriously embarrassed in the ad
ministration of the criminal law. _ Crim
inal law cannot be properly administer
ed unless public sentiment is in accord
with it. If public sentiment pulls the
other way, producing sympathy for the
criminal without regard to the crime he
has committed, it has the eflect of pa
ralyzing (lie judge and the solicitors.

MR. KUAFT*5 NOVEL TIMEPIECE.
F. T. Kraft, a German resident of
Brooklyn, while walking down Broad
way, New York, one day some six years
ago, saw in the window of a jeweler’s
storoaclock of peculiar construction.
The owner, who refused to reveal the
principle of its’ meclmnisw, told him
that the timepiece was unique, and had
been made in England twenty-five years
ago. Mr. Kraft went home resolved on
working out the problem for himself.
The result of his determination is a
timepiece supported by four polished
columns. Beneath it stands a small
brass platform balanced ou two pivots.
A groove cut into the 6urfaco of the
brass runs zigzag from one end to the
other. In this runs incessantly a steel
ball the size of u rifle ballet.
When the ball has gone from one end
of the platform to the other it strikes a
steel wire. The platform tilts up, the
ball rolls back, iui(l the process is repeat
ed at the o;q>osito extremity. Mr. Kraft
explained the principle of his clock the
other day as follows: “The two wires
which the ball strikes against at the end
of each trip are fastened above to a long
rod. From (lie upper side of tliis rod
runs a strip of steel, which rests against
one of four j>ms on an escapeiinmt wheel
in the works. When the ball strikes the
wire it releases this wheel, which makes
a quarter revolution to the next pin. On
the same axis is a cog wheel whose teeth
fit into those of another of half the cir
cumference. The smaller wheel makes
a half revolution while the otliqr is mak
ing a quarter. To the axis of this wheel
is fastened a rod, which is attached at
its other end to the platform, which is
palled up or down according to the wire
which the ball strikes. It takes the hall
just five seconds to make the Trip, a half
second for each section of the groove.
The platform acts os a pendulum, with a
five second swing.”.

To-day, if lie is so inclined, Malt Da
vis can assume control of the postollice
at Athens.
But Matt will doubtless wait until
July 1st before assuming the responsi
bility of the position he has been given.
Yesterday his commission was re
ceived, together with a letter stating
that his bond was satisfactory to Uncle
Sam’s P. M.G., John Wauamaker.
This commission empowers him with
the authority of postmaster at Athens,
and, if he desires, to assume charge of
the postolliee by presenting it to the out
going official.
Matt is also notified that the salary of
the office has been raised to $2,300—$300
more than was paid to the Democratic
postmaster.
Such is the system of corruption, such
the era of rewarding black bosses, that
has been inaugurated by Wanauiaker
and liis gang.
Hundreds of responsible white men
would accept the place at the salary
Capt. Burnett received, hut this illiter
ate negro, who could not make one dol
lar a day, is given $300 increase over
what honest, intelligent and brainy
white men were paid.
They are not satisfied with the distri
bution of the public offices of the coun
try to incapable parties, but begin also
the distribution of the national wealth
among these illiterate henchmen.
Matt Davis has not as yet secured men
to conduct the business of the office,
and it is possible that he may not claim
the olliee until the middle of July.
Remedy for Hydrophobia.
We reproduce the following as a rem
edy for hydrophobia, which we find in
the Xewnau Herald, ol a recent date.—
The remedy i< a simple one, and is well
worth trying in cases of snake bite or
hydrophobia.
Says the Herald : “Col. W. G. llill
says alum water is an unfailing specific
for hydrophobia. In liis youuger days,
when he was wont to roam over the
hills of Coweta in quest of deer and otli-
r game which ah mnded in t le forest at
that time, rattlesnakes were very num
erous, and it. was no uncommon occur
rence for limiting dogs to be hiten by
them. The remedy in such cases was a
trongsolution of alrtm [which was al-
ways carried along for such cinergeiic es]
with which the dog would he drenched
s on as bitten.
Usually, iu half an hour the dog
would lie up and on the trail again, and
as active and alert as if nothing had
happened. Some lime since his dog,
with several Olliers, was bitten by a
rabid canine, and remembering liis old
remedy for rattlesnake bites lie drench
ed the dog with alum water All of tin-
other dogs bitten developed hydropho
bia while his has never shown the
slightest symptom of ravies, though
nearly a year has ciapscd since it was
bitten.

one, too. On one case was engraved
the monogram “C. D. C ” and the op
posite case was “181)0.” On one ol
the inside cases was “Fresent-

A quiet perva led the room, when
Dr. Lyndon arose, and began a beauti
ful speech of presentation.
lie recited tiie esteem with which Dr.
Campbell was held by his people whom
he “had served faithfully, earnestly
and conscientiously for a decade.“They
esteemed him as a friend ami admired
him as a minister of the gospel. When
lie was laboring in Texas liis example
while here would ever remain one wor
thy of emulation. They knew him
well, and esteemed him as a friend. lie
would carry away their friendship and
their love. Tims did Dr. Lyndon con
tinue a brilliant eulogy of Dr. Caiup-
hell, and his voice often trembled with
feeling as lie progressed, although elo
quent and powerful, that showed his
thorough confidence iu the words of
praise in behalf of liis audience he was
speaking.
Dr. Campbell received the watch
with a graceful how,and/vitli a survey
of the friends that presented it, with a
tremoriu liis voice he begun liis s j evlu f
thanks for the handsome mid apprecia

them over three hourson any occasion—
provided they would conic twice the
same day. lie continued a slow of pleas
antries, ami {then turned to deeper
subjects, lie said the watch would a so
remind him of the length of lime away

hands would make their revolution
slower when lie was away from them.
He assured them of bis love for the peo
ple of Athens that would continue dur

Tiie Old Reliable.—The old reliable
Georgia railroad always comes in on
time. Last evening by some means the
train on the branch road from hereto
Union Point got behind time and a re
markably fast, run was made to catch
up. From Winterville to this city the.
run was made at a speed never excelled
in the state, the time being at the rate
of more than a mile in a minute. This
time is certain, a dozen reliable gentle
men timing the run.

THE ATHENS FACTORY,
Is
And still they come!
Yet another railroad for Athens!
And one that means business!
To lx: pushed through to an early
completion!
Through the richest counties of Geor
gia ami Tennessee!
Athens the objective point!
* Athens’ greatest need has been more
railroads, and now they come. Appli
cation for charter was made under an
act of the legislature approved April
27, 1881, by the Chattanooga and South
ern railroad company. There can lie
no doubt as to the rapid completion of
this road, for reliable men and plenty
of money are backing it. The engineers
have been in the field for some time,
and that part of the line from Athens
to the Georgia line, a distance of 155
miles, has already been surveyed. This
survey passes through tiie Georgia
counties of Clarke, Jackson, Hall,
Gwinnett, Forsyth, Dawson, Cherokee,
Pickens, Gilmer, Gordon, Murray,
" bitfield, Catoosa and Walker, all of
which arc especially rich in agricultu
ral products or minerals, or both. This
part of the line has already been sur
veyed, and Hie engineers are now at
work on the short distance remaining.
The incorporators are W. A. Robinson
and E. II. Frazle, of Athens; J. T.
Robinson,of Athens, and 1C. R. Hal
bert, of Chattanooga. The names «>f
such gentlemen as the above, coupled
with any enterprise, gives assurance
that business is meant, aud licit the
scheme will surely be carried out, and
that at an early date. The capital stock
is $1,000,000, divjded into 10,000 shares
of $100 each. The benefit accrucing to
Athens from tlii** road cannot he esti
mated, but a slight idea of its value may
he gotten by looking at the rich coun
try through which it runs. The coun
ties above mentioned and that part of
Tennessee reached, abound in all those
things which go to make up a prosper
ous country, and the products of this
region w ill be put within easy access of
our city. Coal and iron can then be
brought to Athens as cheap as to Chat
tanooga or Birmingham, or any of imr
great Southern manufacturing towns.
Birmingham, with all its great reputa
tion, gets great quant ities of the iron
used in its many rolling mills, car
wheel works, etc., from Georgia and
Tennessee, and < ’battanooga itseif draws
from both Georgia ami Alabama. Then
Athens, placed by this road in » position
when> both coal and iron can be gotten
at no greater expense than these cities,
will add to her already numerous facto
ries, and add greatly to her wealth and
population. This road also gives us
direct communication with the great
grain and meat markets of tin*. West,
and these commodities will necessarily
be greatly reduced in price by the much
greater case with which they can he se
cured.
With the G., C. <fc N. nearing com
pletion, and thu Chattanooga Southern
being pushed to a finish as fast as men
and money can carry it, the outlook for
Athens’ future is as bright as that of
any city, in any State of tiie Union.
The various conn ‘ctions made by
these two roads place Athens in close
relation with the North aud West, and
give her what has long been the great
est drawback—easy access from all
points.
THE UNEXPIRED TERM.
An Election Will be Ordered for Clerk

“And besides all that,” remarked our
