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. WHERE IS VICKERS ? Be PRO At ADI* If WILL NOT BE ■DSN IN AI.DANT AGAIN And Will Nut Parget Ills Visit Here 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. TUB NEW ORGAN FOR THE METHODIST CHURCH. The Order Given nnd Ihe Tnitrument fo Re in PInee In Tblrir Dn r». The committee to whom the pur chase of the new pipe organ, for the. Methodist churoli was referred, with power to act, at the congregational meeting held in the church on 'Wed nesday night, held a meeting yester day afternoon nnd made the purchase from Mr. Lane. TJhe new organ is to cost $780, and is to be put in within thirty days, The putting ih of the new organ will necessitate a change in the ar rangement of the pulpit and chancel, and the Organ Association proposes to raise enough money to cover the cost of tills change. They think that $1,000 will pay for the organ and the changes desired; Tlie enthusiasm with which. this organ scheme has been taken Up and carried.through to success in a very short time, shows that tlie Methodist church of Albany is a live church.
