glar was at Mrs. Ventulett’s trying to
get into the house. Officers Raley and
James proceeded to Mrs. Ventulett’a

given, and Were released.

out in pursuit. The runaways were
overtaken out about the Collier place
and were brought to' town and jailed,
Warrants were sworn out before Mag
istrate Greer charging them with
horse stealing, und if the case is

It is unnecessary to speak of the abil
ity of Prof.Case as a musical instructor,
for his success In this line Of-his work
has given him an enviable reputation.
Musicians recognize the necessity
of taking advantage of every oppor
tunity for improvement in the pro
fession, and will surely not-miss the
valuable instruction to be received fit
the fifteen lessons that Prof. .Case
gives. Those but beginning the study
of vocal music will find the practice

OVTBAOEOVS.
A Villain Insults and Frightens Utile
flirts.'
From Wc.lncs.lny’s Daily II ahai.il
The Herald is called upon to han
dle a subject this morning which it
cannot do justice to without trans
cending tho bounds of prospriety.
On Monday it was learned that a
strange white man was prowling
around, in the Southwestern part of
the olty making indeoeat and in
sulting advances upon little, girls'that,
he would meet on the streets. Several
different girls, whose names
need not be.,, given, but
who, we may say, belong, to sonle of
the most respectable families of the
olty, reported to their parents when
they reaohed. home from school at
noon that they had been pursued and
insulted by a strange white man.. The
‘villain, it seems,' made Indecent dem
onstrations toward the children and
pursued them, in a way that showed
he,had evil designs upon them.
The stories told by tho children put
several gentlemen on the lookout for
the villain,' ahd yesterday hfe retuirritrf
to the same pdrt pi the olty and re
sumed liis outrageous conduct, which
led- to hia being apprehended by Dr. 0.
F. Gnmbatl and Dr. W. L. Davis. Both
gentlemen were on the saide mission,
and they happened to meet—each hav
ing been' put on trail of the villain by
a little girl who had met him on the
street and been insulted by him. The
Bame little girl had first met Mr. H. K.
Agar and appenled to him for protec
tion, and Mn A. had also started in pur
suit of the man, but,^elng lame from
the Injuries sustained in the gymna
sium last week, he fell behind In the
obaae, Drs. Davis and Gambntl were
more fortunate, however, and overtook
the scoundrel near the old Slma-Ruat
warehouse on the eorner of Commerce
and JaokBon streets. The miserable
oreature, when he-saw that ho wob
olosely pursued, ran up to Mr. A. L.
Burton, who wna passing down Com
merce street, and appealed to him for
proteotlon. The two dootors weTe hot
and wanted to do violence to the fel
low then and thero, but Mr. Burton,
riot knowing the cause of their Indig
nation, shielded him* as best he oould
when they first ran up to him ntid
until explanations followed nnd Drs,
Gnmbatl ami Davis lmd had time to
reflect. They took ohargb of the man
and started off with him. Meeting
officer James they turned their prison
er over to him and he wns looked in
the guard house.
Theistranger proved to be a printer,
who name to, tho pity two or three
.days ago. He is a young man, and a
printer’s union oard that was fqund in
hls pooket bore the name of A. C.
Vickers, and showed him to be a mem-
berpf the Atlanta typographical union.
After the arrest the extent of Ills
outrageous conduct became known,
and 1 public indignation ran so high
that threats of mob violehoe were
being quietly whispered. We . don’t
think it was the intention or desire of
anyone to hang tiie fellow, but the
prevailing idea was to take him out
and give him a lashing that !|e would
remember the balance of his life.
Hearing of the threats that were
made, Chief WeBthrook had yickers
transferred to the, county jail early
in tho night, and no effort was
made to get hold of him;
but it hi safe to say that he will bo
looked after, aiid that if ho esoapes the
ohalngang Jie will fare badly if turned
loose in Albany.
Vickers applied at the Hebald
office for work on Monday afternoon,
and proouredan order fo a restaurant
for something to eat, promising to re
turn and go to, work; but he never
showed up any more. . He had evi
dently been on a spree, and appeared
to be drunk when (irrested yester
day.
A HcalUiratlon*
Emma Whitfield was moving her
worldly possessions from where she
has been living near the boat landing
at the foot of Broad street, to her own
house out towards Southejde, Mon*
day, and Albert Breedlove Had a load
of hec.t.blngs on his dray driving out
Washington street, when the dummy
came along and^frlghtcncd the mule
and made him run away.
Beds, bureau, washstands and all
sorts of furniture were piled up on
the dray, and as soon as the mule
commenced to run the furniture com
menced to fly. Tho course was out
Washington street towards the brick
yard, and broken pieces of furnitnre
were scattered along the entire route
of .the cussed mule’s wild flight.
The wreck of the furniture on the
dray was complete, and the loss falls
heavily on the owner.
- Fell Down n FllRbt of Sloin.
Mr. Torn Winters, the engineer on
the S., F. & W. switch engine, hap
pened to a painful accident Monday
afternoon. He had been in his room
over Fields & DrinkWater’s store, and
as lie started down the stairs leading
to the sidewalk liipt foot slipped on the
fourth step from the top, and he fell
down the whole flight to the ground,
His upper and under lips were both
split open and his body badly bruised,
Dr. Davis attended to hls injuries.

PENCIL AND
INDSTINCT PRINT tk
From Thmeilay’s Daily Hhralti.
A. 0. Viokers, the villain whose
outrageous oonduot in thiB olty was
reported in yesterday mbrning’a Her
ald, is not within our gates this
morning.
He left tlie olty-early last night, and
has gone perhaps never to return. The
bare mention of tho name of -Albany
will bring painful recollections to him
tho balance of hia life, and for Borne
time to come lie will aigb and think of
Albany overy time he sits down.
Where is Viokers?
The Herald doesn’t know. It is
not supposed to know. He was re
turned to the guard house from the
c.oiinty jail yesterday morning. No
one swore out any warrantagalnst him,
and tho sheriff turned him
oyor to the olty offloers.
A case was dooketed against
him in tho : Mayor's court, but- the lit
tle girls whom he had Insulted
had not been summoned to
appear, and, they being tl;e only corn-
putent witnesses, the qase was con
tinued. The truth of this part of the
business may as well be told. The
parents of these Innocent girls natur
ally objeoted to having them appenr as
witnesses ih such a case ‘and tell
what they would have had to have told.
Having no witnesses, the olty author^
ities could do nothing hut turn the
mnn loose.
Fearing that he would, fare badly
at the hands of some of our outraged
oltlzens, the Chief of Police decided to
wait until night to turn Vickers out
the guardhouse. The Herald wasn’t
there to see him turned out, blit has
good reason to suspect tlmt ho was
given hts liberty enrly I11 the night
and told to Bliake the dirt of Albany
from his feet. But he didn’t
muvo on fnst enough to
esoape some unknown par
ties who must have been watching for
him, and he fell into their hands and
was escorted out of town—perhaps
aoroBB the river. Thera, In some se
cluded spot, it is highly probabio that
he was reasoned with in a
way that was calculated to bring
him to a feeling realization
of the seriousness of the crime that he
had committed against decent society
op the streets of Albany.
What was done was evidently done
very quietly; tor nobody -oould be
found in town last night Jwlio seemed
to know anything about It. Yet the
Herald will hazard the assertion
that the said Viokers received a frall-
tng that he' will never forget.
Death of IBn. Elnnleiii.
Albany was surprised and shocked
Tuesday morning by the death of
Mrs. Essie. Einstein, wife of Mr, M.
Einstein. :
Mrs. Einstein had been ill for a week,
though she was not thought to bo
seriously so until the day before her
death, whon.some doubts of her reuov-
erv were entertained. The question
of telegraphing her friends at Camilla
was dfsoussed, but ft was thought best
to watt another day and i(bt unneces
sarily alarm them.
She died, at 8 o'clock Tuesday, m'orh-
ing, and allthatremained pf the being
who had for a few years, discharged
the duties of wife'and mother, was
taken on the afternoon train to Ca
milla for burial.
Mrs. Einstein Was tho daughter of
Dr. R, C. Dasher, of Camilla, who for
many years has been Ordittary of
Mitchell county.
She leaves a husband to mourn her
loss and a little child to'feel the need
of a mother's oaro, beside numerous
friends here and in Camilla to grieve
the untimely end of one who had but
Just stepped aoross thd boundary of
woman hood.

changes desired;
Tlie enthusiasm with which. this
