From Monday's Evening Herald.
Capt. Juo. W. Stephens had a lively
experience with a crazy Negro yester
day afternoon about half past 2 o’clook
in which he oame very near being
murdered. f
It appears that yesterday about 1
o’clock, Bailiff Wash Watson encount
ered Will Teemer, a country Negro,
on Broad street near Parkas’ stable.
Teenier was acting in a strange und
boisterous manner, yelling at the top
of bis voice that some one was after
him, and that they had out him open
and put bugs and snakes in Ills stom
ach. Watson approached Teemer and
induced him to go around to Godwin
& Son’s stables. Arriving there
Teenier found out that they were go
ing to put him in jail and proceeded
to raise a raoket. He Jumped on to
Watson, knocked him down and then
fought fast and furiously the others
who attempted to hold him. About
this time Deputy Sheriff Godwin ar
rived on the scene and Teemer was
OVERI'OWEHED AND CAKIUKD TO JAIL.
Teenier appeared strangely affeoted,
and Dr. Hilsman was summoned. He
examined the Negro and said that he
had a high fever and that it
would be best not to lock him up.
Following this advice, Teemer was
placed in Herbert Wilburn's hack to
be carried home. When the hack
reached the artesian well, Teemer
made a lunge at Wilburn, exhibiting
all the symptoms of a mnniao. In the
scuffle Wilburn knooked the other
Negro out of the vehicle and left him.
Finding himself again free Teemer,
started up Broad street to town, fol
lowed by a crowd of small boys who
teased and taunted him nil the while.
He stopped nt the door of the Albany
Drug Co, and seeing a base ball bat
lying on a center counter, seoured it
and made a dash at the boys who had
followed him.
On the sidewalk, near by, was Capt
Jno. W. Stephens, who, seeing the
Negfo after the boys, told him that he
had best stop making So much noise
or he would be looked up. .
Teenier stopped, looked at Capt.
Stephens for a moment, and then,
without saying a word, rushed
upon the Captain with the heavy base
ball bat which he still held in his
hand. The assault was so sudden and
unexpected that Capt. Stephens could
not defend himself from the
il TEBIFIO BLOWS
rained upon his head and shoulders.
Just as Capt. Stephens grappled with
the Negro, a Mr. McDaniel, who is car
inspector for the S., A. M. road, arrived
and wrested the bat from the Negro.
“ r Ih the excitement of the moment
the'Negro was allowed to get away,
g'oing South down Washington street.
But he did not go very far before Of
ficer McLarty overtook him. By this
time the Negro had secured a brick
bat and said he was going to kill
“him”—no one knew who. Advanc
ing unexpectedly' the Officer shook
the briok from the Negro’s hand alid
after a slight scuffle succeeded in
handcuffing him. no was then
placed in n hack and carried to jail.
CAPT. STEPHENS’ WOUNDS.
Immediately after he was assaulted
Capt. Stephens was carried into the
drug store where Dr. Strother attend
ed to his wounds. It was found that
there was a gash on the scalp about
two inches long anil that his arms were
badly bruised and the little linger on
Ilia right hand broken. None of the
wounds are serious, but they are very
painful. The wound on the head was
made by a glancing lick. If the full
force of the blow had been received
the skull would have been crushed
beyond a. doubt. It is thought that
the umbrella whloh Capt. Stephens
held in his hand at the time shielded
him considerably from the heavy
blows.
Teemer is a Negro quite well known
in this oity and county, und was, at
one time, an employe of Capt.
Stephens. He has some property and
has heretofore enjoyed the confidence
and respect of white and black alike.
He is a young man and a powerful one,
weighing, about 180 pounds and of
magnificent physique, and in his
crazed condition would have been a
formidable antagonist for a most pow
erful athlete. He has been aefing
strangely for some time, the first
symptoms of his insanity dating back
several tpouths ago when his wife
died. In his demented condition he
conceived the Idea that some one was
going to take away his property and
leave him penniless. He has been liv
ing on bis farm on wbat is known
as the “Smut-Eye”. place jn South
Dougherty. His strange hallucination
about the bugs and reptiles was
brought un, no doubt, by his supersti
tious belief that be had been conjured.
A CABD UP EXPLANATION.
Editor Kvkxinu Hkhald:
Having heard it rumored that I am
censured by many for reooniuiending
that the demented Negro, VVm. Teemer,
be placed at a private place for treat
ment, instead of a felon’s cell, 1 take
this means of explanation:
On visiting the man, by request, of
Deputy Godwin, I found him sitting
on the jail steps, and, on examination,
found him feverish and in a weak con
dition. I learned from his brother-in-
law that he had been siok at his home
in the oountry for about ten days and
having no one there to care for him
oame to town to get attention. From
his symptoms and history, I conclud
ed that the man was delirious from
fever, and that his condition demanded
good nursing and oomfortable quar
ters. He being amply able to defray
his expenses, I recommended that he
be placed in good private quarters
and a strong guard employed to at
tend him. A friend »f the man,
then present, said that he could man
age him and was employed to take
ohnrge as nurse. I then left the pa-
tieut in oharge of the officers and
nurse, and requested to. be notified
when they had him in quarters, when
1 would give him necessary medieal
attention. Under suoh circumstances
I cannot see how I could be held re
sponsible for his being turned loose
again without a guard.
Very Respectfully,

THE BANKS OBGANIZE.
Gelling Bemlv Is Unrrv Out the Plan
MillWeited bp Our Business Men.
Acting upon the suggestion, and in
compliance with the request, made in
the resolutions adopted by the busi
ness men of the oity at their meeting
held in Willingham’s Hail on Wednes
day night, the officers of the local
banks met Thursday afternoon and de
cided to form a clearing bouse associa
tion for the purpose of facilitating the
removal of the cotton crop and pro
viding ways and means for relieving,
in a measure, tile money stringency in
our own business affairs.
The Albany Clearing House Asso
ciation, to be composed of the First
National, Commercial and Exchange
banks, was organized by electing Capt.
Jno. A. Davis, President of tile First
National, as President, and Messrs. J.
S. Davis, T. M. Ticknor and A. P.
Coles, the respective Cashiers of the
three banks, as a Board of Managers.
Nothing eEe of public interest or
that is in shape to be given to the
public was done. The election of a
Secretary for the Association was de
ferred until a future meeting, and
each member pt, the Association had
important work assigned to him with
the view of getting everything in
readiness for putting the clearing
house scheme into operation as soon
as possible.

The Albany Hebald was In error
when it publised to the world that
Tifton quarantined against Bruns
wick. There was not tbe slightest
idea of suoh action expressed by the
mayor or any member of the city
council. No, Bro. McIntosh, she
threw her doors open to all who de
sired to come, and if any of the refu
gees did not come it was because they
did not desire so to do. It does not
matter a great deal now that tbe scare
is over, but we dislike to see our oity
misrepresented in any matter, be it
ever so small.—Tifton Gazette.
Tlie Hebald reported just wbat tbe
telegraph wires said. Maybe every
body in Tifton was asleep at the tima.
and the operator took it for granted.
It was 3 o’clock Sunday morning last
when we received tbe news.

Probably, one of the saddest deaths
that ever oouurred In this oounty' was
that of a comparatively unknown wo
man in East Albany last Thursday
night about 12 o’ulock.
About two months ago a man and a
woman oame to Albany from Gordele.
The man’s name, whloh ft was after
wards learned, waa George Laracy, of
near Oordelc, found quarters for tbe
woman in a house of questionable
oharaoter across tbe river, where he
left her, saying that he would return
In a few days and make amends for
the wrong he had done.
But it was the same old story of
man’s dupiiolty and worse than wiok-
edness; there was a cruel desertion,
and a eontldlng woman was left desti
tute and penniless among strangers.
Since the woman came to this oity
she has been almost a recluse, holding
herself aloof from tile miserable com
panions with whom she was thrown.
About a week ago Bhe was prostrated
from a severe attack of malarial fever
whloh grew more scorohlng eaoh day
for want of medical treatment. But
she never oomplained; never telling
any one of her Bufferings, saying once
or twice that she preferred to die, now
that all her people and the man she
loved had forsaken her.
On Wednesday a near neighbor
called upon the woman and pro-
vtoed some nourishments, and then
left her. Thursday morning thiB
neighbor called again, and the sight
that met her gaze caused her to reooll
In horror. The news spread rapidly
and reaobed the oity. Dr. W. L. Davis
learned of tbe plroumstnnces and Im
mediately went to the woman’s assist
ance. Arriving on the soenO, Dr.
Davis found the woman lying on the
floor in an exhausted and unoonsoious
condition, while by her side lay a still
born babe! bummoning assistance,
Dr. Davis tenderly placed the woman
on the bud and did all in his power to
alleviate I H,*sufferings. But the oase
was a hopeless one; tbe obtld bad evi
dently been born the night before, and
tbe mother and the little dead babe
bad lain upon tbe Aoor seven or eight
hours.
Thursday afternoon the child was
burled somewhere aoross the river,
and last night at 12 o’clookthe spirit of
the unfortunate and hapless woman
took Its flight to the Great Beyond
and the tired body was at rest.
Friday morning a Hebald reporter
was present when the undertakers
laid the remains away in a rude pine
coffin, preparatory to an Ignominious
interment in the Potter’s field at the
expense of tbe oounty.
From those who were present when
the body was placed in the coffin it
was learned that the woman' went by
tbe name' of Amanda Jackson. She
was, apparently, about 25 years old,
but her former natura.1 features had
been so contorted by her intense suf
ferings that she bore little human
semblance. Among her effects were
found only one letter, written by the
deceased to “A. J. Owens, Ty Ty, Ga.,”
in which she called him “dear
brother.”
When the woman came to Albany
she brought a two-year-old boy with
her, but it is not known whether it is
bar child or belonged to tbe man Lar
acy who brought her here, The boy
has been living with a Mrs. Farnell in
East Albany, where he is at present,
not knowing and being ton young to
realize the sad circumstances sur
rounding his mother’s death.

The olearing house certiflcate plan,
as suggested by the meeting of busi
ness men on last Wednesday night,
aud whloh all the business men of the
oity have pledged themselves to sup
port and aid In every way possible,
will be in operation in a few days.
The bank oushiers of the oity met
this morning and agreed upon the
form of oertiflpates to be used, and the
order for printing the certificates was
at onoe placed with the Herald job
ollloe.
The certificates will be In denomi
nations of $1, $1, $10 and $20. These
oertilloates will bo issued from the
different banks and certified and guar
anteed by the associated banks or
Olearing House Association.
It is well enough to state that the
aertifleutes whloh the Albany Clearing
House Assoolatlon propose to issue
will be after a form approved by the
Comptroller of the Ourrenoy at Wash
ington, and will not, therefore, be in
violation of the law whloh applies to
State bank Issues and other ourrenoy.
In order to be certain that they would
not subject themselves to the ten per
cent, tax imposed by the Government
upon State bank' issues or other issues
intended to be used as ourrenoy, our
banks conferred with the Comptroller
of the Currenoy through Congressman
Russell, and feel assured that the oer-
titloates whloh thoy will issue will bo
exempt from any suoh tax.
The certificates will be out within a
few days, and will be ns good as Bllver
or bank notes In any bank or business
house in Albany.
