At MilJedftville, while the prohibition central was awyresting, as usual, Messrs. F. P. Ifopp and J. C.

After about an hour’s consideration, both side* •greed to the plan of these gentlemen, and the three points submitted to the Judge are: First, Was Judge Sanford’a action in throwing out the poll at Brown’s crossing legal. Second. Tho same as to Butt’s poll. Third. Did parties bolding tax-collectors' receipts, but against whom stood tax executions, vote legally. 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 hiain. lie lingered on unconscious until 10 o'clock, 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.

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 was entirely demolished, and blown away. The rain wm very heavy. George W. Warren is living on the Israel Johnson place in Doolv.
