Athens gets the Federal Court.
A nd it ia something she richly de
serves.
For some time the fate of the bill to
establish the Federal Court at this place
has been in the hands of the Judiciary
Committee of the Senate.
That committee has acted upon the
bill and the result is favorable.
The following telegram received in
Athens yesterday afternoon explains
the whole matter:
Washington, D. C., Feb. 16,
Mayor E. T, Brown,
Athens, Ga.,
The Judiciary committee of the Sen
ate reported favorably this morning up
on the Athens Federal Court bill with
out a dissenting vole.
A. n. Coi.qoitt.
This favorable report of the bill means
practically the establishment of the
Federel Court at this place.
The bill will be called up before the
adjournment of Congress and put on its
passage. With the favorable report of
the committee, it will pass the Senate
without any trouble.
There is no teason to believe that
President Harrison will think of veto
ing the bill, and before the 4th of
March, the order will go forth for the
establishment of the district court at
this place.
To Congressman Carlton, the author
of the bill, aud Senator Colquitt, who
has managed it in the Senate, belongs a
great deni of praise. They have labored
unceasingly’for the success of the bill,
anil have alinosl reached the consum
mation of their desires.
Congressman Carlton says he thinks
there is no trouble in the way tow, and
that the bill will pass the Senate and
be approved by the president.
The establishment of the district
court at Athens means a great deal for
this city and for Northeast Georgia.
It will be a source of great conven
ience especially to those who have to
attend its sessions as witnesses. In
stead of having to go away down to At
lanta, they can now come over to Ath
ens without so much inconvenience.
it will supply a long-felt need in this
si cliou of the State, and the natioual
lators acted wisely when they
passed the bill creating it.
The people residing in Northeast
Georgia are all heartily rejoicing over
its establishment at Athens aud the peo
ple of Athens should be proud of secur
ing it.
In the efforts to secure this court,
The Banner has ever been in tbe fore
front of tbe light, and has urged upon
the citizens the importance of obtain
ing it.
Therefore to Messrs. Carlton and Col
quitt, and to Messrs. Barrow, Erwin
and Brown, who recently went to
Washington in the interest of Athens,
A RAILROAD WRECK.
ANOTHER SMASH UP ON
NORTHEASTERN.
THE
The Third Run-off on That Road
Recently—This Grows Monotonous
-Cars off and! Mails Delayed.
Another wreck—
The Northeastern of course.
It seems to be by force of habit, that
the southbound freight train on that
road drops into bad places every morn
ing on its way to Athens.
Nobody was very much surprised
therefore, yesterday, when the views of
the wreck of six cars was circulated in
the city.
It seems that the cars jumped the
track and scraped along the ground a
distance of more than two hundred
vards before the train could be stopped.
The train was running at the usual
rate it seems when tbe accident oc
curred.
DETAILS OF THE WRECK.
The freight was the one that leaves
Lula early iu the morning and meets
the mail train from Athens so that the
latter was prevented from leaving this
morning, delaying mails aud passen
gers.
No one was hurt but it was a narrow
escape to the train men.
The construction train left the city
with hands and implements for the
scene and the track will in all probabil
ity be ready for the regular passenger
trains to-day.
COMMON OCCURRENCES.
Nicholson was the scene of another
wreck Saturday.
One car jumped the track and the
train was delayed sometime. The con
struction train came veiy near running
int<> it but was prevented by the Hag-
man.
This is the third wreck on the North
eastern road that has occurred during
the past week. It is supposed the rain
has caused them all, dauipeui g the
road bed so lhat the crossties give way.
It is said that the Richmond and Dan
ville will thoroughly equip the North
eastern at an early date.

a successful raid iu Haralson county.
They captured Henry Williams and
destroyed a thirty-gallon copper still and

twenty-two vats.

the Ripper is Now a Proba
bility.
Siiccinl byjNews Telegram Association.
New York, Feb. 16.—The Loudon
correspondent of the Sun telegraphs his
paper the following: The renewal of
the Jack the Ripper excitement in Lon
don has caused much tribulation in
Scotland Yard. The cunning of this
criminal aud the easo with which he
appears to baffle all eflorts of the detect
ives make the whole metropolitan force
and soreheads of the department share
the general chagrin. But more than
this, they are unable to find sufficient
men efficiently to patrol Whitechapel
and at the same time to maintain enough
men at the docks and along the riverside
to protect the free laborers against the
attacks which are constantly being
threatened by the unionists. There is
little doubt in the minds of the police
that the murderer of the unfortunate
woman in Whitechapel yesterday morn
ing was done by the hand of the same
monster who now has ten ghastly erimes
to his record; but the mystery of the
identity of the criminal is increased by
yesterday’s tragedy.
When the policeman found the vic
tim uuder the railway arch her eyes
were still opening and closing and her
hands convulsively twitching in her
death throes. The policeman who
found the body must have been in ten
feet of Jack the Ripper when he cut the
woman’s throat, and yet he heard not a
sound of an escaping footfall or the
slightest noise of a struggle.
This lends interest to Dr. Dawson
Tait’s theory expounded to a reporter
of a Pall Mall Gazette that the murderer
is of the same sex as the several victims-
Said Tait: “Nothing is more likely
than that Jack the Ripper is some big
strong woman engaged at a slaughter
house in cleaning up, and new
aud then in actually cutting up
meat. Again in a number of in
stances, the womeu when found were
hardly dead; the bodies were warm.
The murderer could not be far away
and the fact that the police were so
close upon the criminal goes to prove to
a wonderful degree that the operator
was a woman. 1 will tell you why. On

St. Johns, N. F., Feb. 16.—The New

Portland, Feb. 16.—You asked my
opinion of Cleveland’s position on silver.
Tbe great masses of the Democratic
party in the United States favor the free
coinage of silver. Mr. Cleveland op
poses it. Mahomet refuses to come to
the mountain, and it is absolutely cer
tain that the mountain will not go to
Mahomet.
The importance of purifying the blood can.
not be overestimated, tor without pure blood
you cannot enjoy good health.
At this season nearly every one needs a
good medicine to purify, vitalize, and enrich
the blood, and we ask you to try Hood’s
Dof'iilior Sarsaparilla. It strengthens

creates an appetite, and tones the digestion,
while it eradicates disease. The peculiar
