The trouble that was to have taken
place Tuesday among tho mill employes of
Augusta has been averted. Mr. D. McGaw, on
whote account the trouble wu begun, and
whore overseersbip the men in the mill ob-
jeetrd to, prevented tho shut down by uncon
ditionally resigning bis position in the Alger
non mill, reserving the right to demand an
exhaustive examination of the charges pre
ferred against him, and asserting that a com
plete vindication would undoubtedly result.
“I cannot sec 4,000 people thrown out of
employment on iny account,” said Overseer
McGaw; “not that I care so much for the men
that ere employed in the Augusta milling in
terests, hot that the hundreds of helpless chil
dren and delicate women dependent on tho
mill labor appeal to me to sacrifice this posi
tion of mine.”
At 1 o’clock the strikers returned to duty,
and everything is working along as smoothly
a* before the happenings of the past week,
which have stirred op the town in no small
degree. Many were gathered about the nu
merous mills in expectancy of seeing a gen
eral walk out today.
Wednesday McGaw went out on a friendly
visit to fiuneriutendent Woodward at the
Algernon mills, and called on him at his
office. The employes seeing him sitting at a
desk immediately quit work, laboring under
the impression that he had been employed iu
the mill as bookkeeper.
A walk out resulted. Superintendent Wood
ward volunteered an explanation of the state
of affairs, and the men rctarned to work.
The citizens of Yincvillo wero startled
by the suicide of David E. B. Wells, at the
borne of bis brother-in-law, Horace Adams,
Tuesday morning at eight o’clock. Welts was a
man about thirty-five years of age, aud was
separated from his wife, having with him one
little boy five years old. He was atonetimo
possessor of considerable property, but habits
of dissipation and attendant evils wrecked
him mentally, physically and financially.
About the middle of last week he was dis
charged from the employ of Adams A Co.,
after which he grew very despondent, and
remained around his brother-in-law’s homo
until this morning, when ho went out to the
barn and sat down on a little platform. Bob
Parker, the stable boy, came out to look after
the horses and found Wells sitting there.
Wells remarked to him that he wanted him to
take a note which he held In his hand to the
house. ”1 am going away, 1 ’ said he
and he shook hands with Bob, who
insisted that he ought to wait until he, Bob,
could carry the note to the house. Bob then
left, and iuat ns he reached the door he hoard
a pihtol shot, and said to Mrs. Adams: “Oh, I
believe Mr. Wells has shot himsslf.**
Returning, he found the poor si
on the platform, grasping his pistol in his right
hand and gnsping for broatn. Bob rau aud
telephoned Mr. U. J. Lnmar, Jr., who arrived
on the scene In a few minutes, and
found the poor fellow dying. Dr. Hall was
s< nt for; and when be arrived he mado a hur
ried examination of the wound and saw that
tho poor fellow could not live and turned him
over ou his face and tried to staunch tbo flow
of Mood from the wound, which was just
above the right car, tho ball penetrating the

when his unhappy spirit took its flight.

On Monday evening Inst the safe of tho ex
press messenger on the Columbus and Western
railroad was robbed of $21.50, aud while thero
was no cluo as to who committed the robbery,
tntplclon pointed to Will Chaffin, a young
white boy who solicits passengers on tho train
for Munday A Robinson’s transfer line. Tho
facts were reported to the Columbus police and
Policeman Koran arrested tho above mentioned
youth, t'hsffin, after being arrested, admitted
the crime and said he was drinking at tho
time. He claims that he spent the msney for
whisky. He bought a whole keg of beer aud
$2 50 worth of ice cream. He snout the money
freely, and aa a result of his indiscretion he
now languishes in the guardhouse charged
with a most serious crime.
Particulars have been obtained of a terri
ble accident which Tuesday befell Mr. Frank
M. Jones, a very popular young man of Thomti-
ville. Mr. Jones, together with two othor
young men from that place, left Monday for
the lake to fish and hunt alligators. While
Mr. Jones was walking through some bushes
along the banks of tho lako his rifle was
knocked from his shoulder, and as it struck
the ground discharged. Tho ball passed
through both leg*, above the ankle, crushing
the bone in both legs. One leg has been ampu
tated and at present Mr. Jones is in a critical
condition. It is feared he will lose both legs.
He was brought homo in an ambulance last
night.
When the Atlanta train reached Ylneyllle,
on the Central railroad,Friday.Engineer T. B.
Cleary observed a woman chasing a hog along
the public road, going parallel with the rail
road, just below the station. He sounded the
loud crossing whistle, followed by the station
whistle, and Fireman J. J. Sculta began ring
ing the bell, as is usual when nearing the
statiofi. The woman and her pig kept
moving, and the was apparently very anxious
to keen the pig off the track. The engineer
noticed the chase, but had little idea ttut the
womau would try to crosi the track ahead of
the train, which wm running at tho rate of
twenty-eight miles an hour.
About twe hundred yards below the station
the hog made a dash for the track and, with a
bound, landed safely on the other side. The
woman, in her eagerness attempted to cro>s,
but she was only about ten feet im front of the
flying locomotive. The “toot! toot!” of warn
ing came, but all too late. Just as she lauded
in the center of the track the pilot struck her
snd she was sent flying through the air aud
landed about thirty-five feet away, striking
ou a green bank by the roadside.
She was desd. She hsnlly knew whst
sttuck her. Life went oat like s flash, sad
there was not even s gasp when the manglod
b< dj fell on tho grass In front of her own
dtor.
A ipec’al from Darien says that Padgett
and Leaks, of Tatnall, brought Joe Cooper,
the murderer of John Mason, to Darien Fri
day and claimed the reward offered by the
governor. The capture was made twelve miles
from Beidsville, where Cooper was engaged to
woik under tbs name of William Anderson.
Athens Banner In the church yard on
Fdisto island, 8. C, stands s monument to the
memory of 34 persons who perished in the ex-
i It cion of tke steamer Pulaski, on the emit of
North Carolina, opposite Cape Fear. I lived
once with a Mr. Edings, who had lost his
n other and sister in this disaster, snd often
have I heard him speak of the event. His
father, mother and sister, with 37 other per
sons from this small island, were bound f*r
Saratoga from Charleston on a pleasure trip.
The Pulaski waa them running in opposition
to the steamer James Adger, and by her ad
vertisement to make the tnp to New York ia
52 hours had secured nearly all the pa mangers,
some 200 in number. The captain was drink
ing heavily and kept up such a head
of i team as to nuke some of the
wiser council to have hist arrested;
long. The day of the disaster wm a lonely
day in July, and when the committee went on
deck to remonstrate with the captain, he re
marked that he knew his butinOM sod would
put his steamer in New York or go to h*ll
(and little did bethink how soon he would
die.) The committee then went aloft to talk
over the matter, and while they were convers
ing came the explosion that wafted over 180
people into eternity. The few survivors,
about forty, had only two boats, and the rest
managed to make a raft of floating spars and
started away from the floating debris with a
hot July sun overhead, no food nor water,
end far away on the broad Atlantic, out of
sight of Isnd. When* night came on the boats
lost sight of the rafts snd mode for the North
Carolina coasts. After being turned over by
the breakers and several lives lost, the forlorn
found themselves on a sand bank, with no
food or water, snd to reach the main Isnd
had to wade across the marshy lands,
Nearly exhausted snd muddy from! head to
foot they reached a farm bouM and eventually
home. The raft, with eight persons, all men,
drifted out to sea and the next day, being a
fearful hot one. their suffering from hanger
snd thirst can hardly be imagined. Most of
them became delirious and the next morning,
m the sun rose in all her loveliness, found these
poor wretches adrift on the wide sea. Shortly
after, a sail wm sighted, and then they hMtily
tore off their clothing and mado a flag of dis
tress. The ship turned from her course and
picked them up and carried them to New York
city, but only three out of the eight lived, and
one, Mr. Eding’s father, wm paralyzed oa oue
side. He never again saw bis wife or child
Whst a terrible ending to that happy party of
wealthy southerners bound for Saratoga on a
pleasure trip.
Haraleon Banner: We leirn from Mr. E. B.
Barker that the lightning struck a telegraph
role on the Eastern and Western railroad in
tho corporate limits of Fisbcreek Tuesday af
ternoon and tore up tho poles for near a half
mile. Tbo electric fluid struck the depot and
set it on fire, which waa put out only by the
exertions of many persons present. Mr. Bar
ker mjb that the heaviest rain of the season
fell there that evening. It washed away fences,
bridges, etc. The rail road bridge across Ter
rapin creek was washed away, snd mauy cul
verts are gone. 3rr. John M. Stewart had a
larrel of oil in the depot at the time it wm
struck, which caught on fire.
A gentleman who has been visiting the low
er portion of Burke county says that on lMt
Sunday that section waa visited by a terrible
windstorm. He and a friend were at Mr.
Brack’s place, when they saw a heavy black
cloud approaching very rapidly. They also
noticed a huge, funnel-shaped cloud drat
to the ground, which they thought and a
wauls learned wm a cyclone,. It struck Mr.
Belt’s place, doing considerable damage to
timber, fencing, etc., sweeping the ground. A
field of cotton wm blown up by the roots,leav
ing the ground entirely bare and clean. Tho
track of the ftorm wm about 100 yards wide,
going in the direction of Mr. W. R. Driscoll’s.
Hearing a noise, similar to that made by a
moving train, Mr. Driscoll went out of tho
house to sco what was the matter, aud seeing
the storm rapidly approaching, called to hU
family who ran out iuit in time to save their
lives, for only a moment more and the house

Griffin, Gs., Juno 17.—[Special.]—The
prohibition battlo has been fought and
prohibitionists. When tho
. i saw that over two thou
sand voters had been registered, they felt
that they had a big fight before them,
and they went to work with a will aud activi
ty soldom seen. The young men especially
fell into ranks, and worked like veterans.
LMt night waa a busy one at both headquar
ters. Suppers wero spread for the colored
voters, and speeches aud music entertained
them until a late hour. Most of the colored
voters remained all night.
The prohibitionists marched from their
_eadqnarte» at four o'clock and took chargo
of the polls. In about a half hour the antis
came marching down, and then both lines
•food until seven o'clock, when the polla
were open. The^ colored prohibitionists
for
IS
the sutlea.
Nearly every colored voter wm
the Young Men’s Prohibition clnb,
one hundred strong, headed by tho silver cor
net band, marched to tho polls. There wero
many lad lea on tha route who waved their
handkerchiefs and cheered the boys aa they
passed, but the an tie* wero too strong. The
colored voters were almost solid for whisky.
The returns are all in, and the antias have
245 majority. The election will be contested,
and the prohibitionists claim that they will
throw ont enough illegal votes to give them
a nice majority. The antlee have nothing to
say m to what the result will be on a contest.
The negroes are parading the streets, singing
and holloaing over their victory.
