Atlanta Constitution.
Am mucus, Ga ,—For resistance fo
the will of God a prominent citizen
near Andersonville, is under trial.
It is a church trial, aud the church
is located just five miles above AmJer-
sonville.
The church is of the Hardshell Bap
tist denomination and the accused is a
well-to-do and well-known gentleman
living at AncJwonville.
The charge preferred against him is
putting- lightning rods on his bouse,
thus seeking to interfere, as they con
strue ft, with .the will of God.
The Time«, In telling the story, says
(hat Mr. J. J. Dukes has scores 01

made quite a success in farming. No*
long since be had a neat home built,
aa<l it fitted np in a nice and com
fortable, manner. As is usual, he had
hardly completed his build
ing before the irrepressible light
ning-rod agent put in his appearance,
and with suave manner and smooth
language Drought forth the countless
reasons why protection should Le

Mr. Dukes finally decided to| *cc« p?

He has ior years been a member in
good standing of the Hardshell church
just north of this place, and after har
ing the work done continued to attend
faithfully services and perform h T s du
nes as a member. UIs co-workers In
the church, however, viewed with
great concern the heretical performance

sisters and brethren argued with him

wanderer from Ms fl *ck, but all to no
purpose. Mr. Dukes couldn’t see the

“1 have witnessed many curious
death-b* d scenes,” said Mrs. Jeafanetle

ployed at a prominent New York hos
pital. “I am now forty years of age
and have been a nurse for twenty
years, though I have been in this coun

It appears that the was a very lively
girl—a spoiled child—and had caught
» severe cold at an entertainment. In
stead of taking care of herself she went
about as usual every night in evening
dress. When I arrived at the bouse I
found her lying in a magnificent room
practically at the point or death with
pneumonia. Three physicians were in
consultation. The family was terribly
frightened. The girl was very lovely,
for pneumonia is a sudden disease and
she had not been in bed over two days,

She seemed to bait comprehend what 1

me a moment and inqnlred:
“ ’Will I be able to go to the ball?
“‘Ball! Mercy, child,’ said I, try
ing to soothe her, ’don’t think about
bulls. After a while ”
“ ‘Ring for champagne !* she ordered
imperiously. ‘I’m going to dress for

hum a waltz, then suddenly exclaimed:
•Champagne! Champagne! Bring
champagne! It warms the heart sol
My heart is getting cold! Bring more
champagne.”
‘She choked and gurgled and her
voice sank to a whisper.
The doctor* were at her side In a
moment. It was evident that her

ulant was brought. Rising on her
elbow she grasped the freshly opened
bottle from the tray, and before we had
time to recover from our astonishment,

ator Alfred H. Colquitt, of Geor
gia, left for home to-day much improv
ed in health. When the senator came
here several weeks ago his health was
badly shattered. The reports published
in New York, however,that be was in
danger of death, were gross exaggera
tions; but his condition was serious
enough tv alarm his friends. Since
coming here he has steadily improved,
and all traces of his ailment have dis
appeared.

SCOTT THORNTON IN ATHENS.

Athens, Ga., May 6.—The students
packed the opera house to-night for
the performance of “Richelieu” by
Scott Thornton.
The studeuts had things their own
way and the police were powerless.
Nothing like it ever happened before,
here or an? where else.
Scott’s fame had proceeded him. The
market lor bad eggs here to-day was
something unprecedented. When this
stock was exhausted—substitutes of all
sorts were provided. The entire col
lege attendance, practically, was on
hand when the curtain went up.
The scene beggars description. Pan-
deroouium was discounted.
The curtain tell about the middle ot
the fi^st act. R : chelieu disappeared
amidst a shower of cabbage , patatoes
egts and the like.
In reply to the appeals for order the
students promised to be quiet if Mr.
Thornton would make a speech.
The tradloian failed to respond, and
the students began hunting for him.
Mr. Thornton eluded them, and up
to a late hour tonight all efforts to lo
cate him have faffed.
Tbe students, who are still looking
tor him at an early hoar this morning,
say that no personal violence is Intend
ed or will be allowed—all they want is
a speech.
As the telegraph office closes In
Athens there is nothing to add, as Mr.
Thornton has not been found.

A-Bark'and Bjtee’j Ground.
A writer in the Carrollton Times
tells of a place ou the road between
to^.Buchanan and Draketown, with a n-
markably bloody record. T
More people, it is said, have lost their
lives on a spot of ground less than a
mile in diameter, on this road than
any other plat of land in the State,
taking iuto consideration Ihe sparsely
settled community. There is no grape-
shot stand, nor no public gathering
place on'this fatal plat.
To begin with, about dark on a June
eveuiug inlSSG, Win. Hall was fell
upon by Ed Franklin and beat todeath
on a wagon of oats. A certain reck
marks the place where the murder oc
curred. A little farther on the same
road, say 500 yards, a little later, a
man named Robeshaw was shot and
instantly killed by hfa brother-in-law,
Joe Moorse, while in a fight. Aboutl
230 yanls from where Robeshaw was
killed; Jim Thompson -tas shot and
instantly killed while sitting in his
cabin home with his girl ou his lap.
Thfa was just a few'years after Hall
wag killed. A few years later Wash
Golden shot and instantly killed o*’d
man Pearce, within a mile of the above
p>&ce. Just a little later Lige Lam
bert was shot from ambush by Chls-
lom, Jim Rome, Harris Gallamore,
Coon Nunn and others.
Then about two years ago old Adam
Golden, a negro, was pounced upon by
Bill Reeves and Joe Santord and beat

was square.. The sharper then pur
chases a cigar and also asks the delk
to exchange the dollar bill he had
h tmled him for the silver dollar he
hands him. He i* al-o lu a hurry. It
was a moat natural thing for the cleik
to band out the dollar bill in cxchauge
and 95 cents in change also. That a
man should < xchaugc a silver dollar
for a p*per was most uarural, and that
fie handed out a dollar in payment for
a 5 cent cigar he would be given 95
cents change was also natural. The
confusion of the two Ideas caused the
clerk to hand out $1 95 when he only
oWod tbe mat. 95 cents.
Nine men out of ten would do this
same thing when hurried.
It was a perfectly safe trick. The
respectable appearance of the sharper
precluded all suspicion and it the in
tended victim was sharp enough to see

Mrs. Cockery, the dead woman’s

the body from its conspicuous position

Little Rock, Ark , May 9.—Some
fishermen found in the Red river, near
Fulton, this morning the dead body of
a white man, believed, from papers In
the pockets, to be Rev. Father Zang,
who whs a resident of this Sts?e, with
a most romantic history. The rever
end gentleman was educated in Ger
many and possessed ability of the
highest degree. After coming to this
country lie was placed in charge of a
Catholic chnrch at Dixie, Art., and
under his administration It prospered
greatly.
Among Ids congregation was a
young girl named Annie Doyle, who
young and very attractive, and
with whom ic was reported the priest,
who was not 30 years of age, became
so infatuated that he renounced his
faith and church for the sake of marry
ing her.
The marriage is claimed to have
been a failure. Zang, after renounc
ing the priesthood without means,
found it difficult to make a living for
himself and his pretty wife. He tried
a number of rocations, but with indif
ferent success. Becoming despondent ,
he recently announced that he would
go to Texas, where be hoped to get
employment teaching. He was seen
Friday last in Southwest Arkansas.
He had started to make the long jour
