And now Dr. Glover U being looked
(or bjr the officer* of the law.
Every reader of the Banner is famil
iar with the famous Glover case, in
which the charge ha* been brought
against Dr. Glover, a young and well
kiiOAn physician of Franklin county,
lor poisoning bis wife.
It will ti* remembered how the wife
suddenly died, was buried, and how be.
fore the acd on the poor woman’* grave
had grown dry ,the young ber. aved bus
band had taken unto himself anothci
better half.
The story of Dr. Glover’s arrest on
suspicion, and of his preliminary trial,
has already been recounted at length
by the Banner's reporter who was sent
in searoh of the facts up in the hills and
mountains of Fraukiin county.
TUK ANALYSIS.
In that story it was told that the body
of Mrs. Glover was dug up and the
stomach brought to Athens for a chem
ical analysis by Dr. Whit*! for the pur
pose of ascertaining if the soman had
been poisoned.
While the result of that analysis has
never been officially given to the rress
by Dr. White, it lias become a rumor
that no fears were entertained by the
fiLinda of Dr. Glover. This, however,
may have been genuine or may have
been a fiilse story told by them for the
interest of the defendant. No one
knows.
The sequel is interesting.
Dr. Glover has escaped jail, and is
now at large. It happened Sunday
morning ai d the full particulars are
given in the following telegram to the
JIanncr from Harmony Grove:
TUB FULL srOKY OK THE ESCAPE.
There was a big jail delivery at
Cariiesvillc yesterday morning and Dr.
Glover, charged with wife murder, and
a negro named Bunk R> idy are now u'.
large. From information received here,
wi; learu the following particular of
their escape.
The jailor fed his prisoners at the
usual lime yesterday morning at break
fast. About one o’clock in the after
noon lie went to the jail to give thorn
their dinner, but found that l>r. Glover
ai.d Bunk lteidy, colored, bad escaped.
There was one negro who preferred to
remain in jail, however, and he told
the Sheriff that Dr. Glover and Reidy
had made a skeleton key out of a piece
of old shears, unlocked their cell doors,
then relocked them; opened the
outer door with the same key,
reloeked it and departed for
“Helds new and pastures green.” Ami
all of this occurred in broad open day
light in the town of Carnesville. The
alarm was at once given and a large
posse of men have since been scouring
the surrounding country in search of
the escaped jail birds.
The news of their escape has been tel
egraphed in every direction and a re
ward of $100 00 is offered for the arrest
of Dr. Glover and $50.00 for the arrest
of the negro. Bunk Reidy.

Professor Branson’s Place-
All About tha Election.
Superintendent G. G. Bond it Is.
This was the decree of the board of
education yesterday at its meeting, held
for the purpose of electing a successor
for Professor E. C. Branson, superin
tendent of the city school*.
It is known that more than a month
ago Professor Branson served notice to
the board of education that he intend
ed to resign the office of superintendent,
and advised the board to go at once
about the selection of successor.
Profeasor Branson’s reasons for re-
signing were that he wanted to take a
position out west in the schools that are
developing so rapidly and interestingly
in order that he might become even
more thorough in his line of work than
the patrons of the Athens schools have
always found him to be.

The city council
Met in regular monthly session yes
terday eveniug
And transacted a variety of work,
routine and otherwise.
It was a little past 4 o’clock when
Mayor Brown rapped on the table, with
his jack knife, and asked the gentlemen
of the council to come to order.
A solemn frown settled upon all the
members’ faces and they pulled them
selves together and were ready for
work.
Clerk Gilleland called the roll in his
most impressive voice aud read the min
utes of the last meeting, which were
adopted without objection.
. After that the work proceeded with a
monotonous hum drum and it was after
eight o’clock at night before it was fin
jahed.
THE WORK GOES ON.
One of the first things acted upon was
the petition of. Miss M. Rutherford,
principal, and Mr A. L. Hull, presi
dent of the board of trustees, of tlie
Lucy Cobb Institute, asking that the
steps leading from the street to the yard
of that institution be made eight inch
instead of twelve inches, as they are
now.
Street Commissioner Barnett was or
dered to attend to. the matter before
Commencement.
Mr. Ike Swift, appeared before the
council aud asked that rife council re
pair and rebuild the storm water sewer
where it crossed property which be
wished to improve. The matter was re
ferred to the street committee with
power to act.
Mr. D. A. Shackleford appeared for
several guano dealers and asked they be
taxed according to the amount of guano
sold. Referred to lh? committee dn or
dinances to report back to the council.
THEY DID WELL.
The city council did well when it ac
cepted the otter of Prot. C. M. Strahan.
This offer was to publish a hand book
of Clarke county, this hand book to
contain large 8nd accurate maps of the
county and the city and these maps to
he accompanied by a well written ac
count of the resources and advantages of
Clarke county and Athens. Mr. Strahan
offerred the city one tbousaud copies of
this book for $250. He told them that
the recent organization of a branch of
the Southern Interstate lmigraiion
Bureau, would be a good thing for the
city and that the need of such a hand
book as he proposed to issue would now
b*j seen more than ever. The motion to
the one thou and copies at $250, was un
animously carried.
Mr, James O'Farrell then appeared
and asked that the city council send
some one to Macon to examine into
bricks manufactured there and offered,
fortheC.&M. load, free transporta
tion to anyone whom the council might
send. Mr. O’Farvell, for his interest in
the matter, and hfs kind offer, was
given the unanimous thanks of the
council.
The petition of Mrs*. Compton, ask
ing for a reduction in city assessment
was laid on the table.
Petitions were received from the ne
groes asking that the unused reels of
the city be sold to them. This was re
ferred to the finance committee with
power to act.
THEY WERE RE-ELECTED.
The sewer commission. Messrs. W.
D. Griffeth, D. C. Barrew and E. R.
Hodgson submitted their report which
was received and they were unanimous
ly reelected for another year at the sala
ry. Atfer this was done Mr. Hodgson
moved that the committee be authorized
to continue the sewer Work and the
motion was carried unanimously.
IT IS VERY DANGEROUS.
A petition, with a drawing, was in
traduced by several citizens who stated
that the stand pike was very dangerous
and liable to fall at any moment, as it
was eight inches out of plumb. Mr.
Chas. Stern talked to the council and
told them that hi9 family was unable to
sleep at night when there was a wind
aud that the whole neighborhood was
alarmed.
Street Commissioner Barnett -being
called on, said that in his opinion the
tower was unsafe and, when empty,
would be blown over by a wind travel
ling at the rate of forty miles an hour.
This testimony created an impression
and, upon Mr. Hodgson’s motion, it
was decided that the Water Works Co.,
be notified that the tower was unsafe
and to appear at a called meeting of the
council, on the 15th of this month, and
show cause why it should not be con
demned.
TWO NEW SCHOOL HOUSES.
There will be two new school houses,
one in Brooklyn and one on the east
side of the river. These school houses
will be of wood and occupied by the ne-
pto school children; the present Baxter
Street school will be used for the whites.
Taese new school bouse will be erected
in a short time and will both be com
fortable wooden buildings.
After a lively discussion it was decid
ed to suspend such parts of the sewer
age ordinance as related to water from
bo*li tubs and wash stands and allow
sach water to be drained into the gut
tera.
TRAIL CRETE BRIDGE.
Mr. Orr, Chairmaii of the street com
mittee, reported in favor of building
the Trail Creek bridge at a costof $1051,
and the report was adopted, ibis
bridge will he a combination fOot and
wagon bridge, and will be built in a
very short time. It has been long need
ed and often asked for and the city
oonncil has done the best thing in the
world in providing for its erection.
After a lengthy discussion the special
committee appointed to select a site for
a new city hall; was granted further
time.
By the time all this work had been
done the members of tbe council were
tired and restless,, the hands of tbe
clock pointed to 7 and everybody
showed an inclination to hurry. 1 ’Gen
tlemen’’ said the mayor, as be grace
fully climbed oat of his cost, “any
member of this council is at liberty to
peel.” and CapL Talmadge followed
suit and several others lighted their
cigars and puffed away, comparatively
'Fhe reports of officers were dispensed
with and Webb A Crawford were given
the confract, as the lowest bidders, for
supplying feed for the coming mouth.
Tbe accounts and salaries were ordered
aid if properly audited and two electric
gbts were ordered erected on Broad
street.
The awning in front of Jester’s store
was condemned as a nuisance and or
dered taken down.
It was decided that the fire limits
should bo extended, and this matter
will be taken up at the next meeting.
Mr. Arnold then appeared and aAted
that he be relieved from paying a bond
that he had signed, for a friend, who
had skipped. It was finally decided
that he should pay $6.25. This ended
the work. '
“Gentlemen,” said Mayor Brown, as
Mr. Billy Orr glided out of the door
and Mr. Booth disappeared around the
corner, “gentlemen,” he repeated to
tbe empty chairs, “gentlemen,” he said,
as he turned to clerk Gilleland, the last
one left iu the room, “if there is no ob
jection this council stands adjourned,”
and he put on his coat and left.

Strong Men.
Women love strong men. A weak
man may excite their sympathy and a
woman’s careful tenderness soothe and
soften tbe anguish of a weak man’s
soul, but the laughing, joyous, warm,
exuberant love of women dear, belongs
to the men that r.re strong and noble
and kind. Then why will a man con
tinue weak, and mean and peevish?
An old gentleman writes: “B. B. B.
gives me new life and strength. II
there is anything that will make an old
man young, it is B. B. B.”
Some men say, and women too, they
never feel weak and mean except in the
spring. Why then feel weak and mean
and nervous and prostrated in the
spring time when life and spirit
awakens with thrilling buoyancy even
the vegetable world ? Must you allow
sluggish blood, inactive organic func
tions, rusty joints and general weakness
to make your life miserable simply be
cause tbe long winter has restrained
your natnral activity? It need not be.
If only you will use that pleasant and
incomparable tonic blood purifier
known as B. B. B. or Botanic Blood
Balm your health in spring time will
be all that you can wish. Try it this
spring. Try it now.
P. A. Shepherd, Norfolk, Va., August

had to haves doctor.”

The Industrial Home.
Its members held an interesting meet
ing yesterday evening in the syna
gogue.
And did a great deal of work that will
be of great benefit to the Industrial
Home and a great plasure to everyone
in Athens.
The bazaar was, of course, the all ab
sorbing topic and received a great deal
of attention, attention which its im
portance merited.
The Result of the meeting was that the
ladies decided to postpone the bazaar
until after tbe electric line is finished
and in running order.
Mr. Voss, the superintendent, offered
to give-the Industrial Home $25 if the
ladies postpone the bazaar until afier
the line was running. After this offer
bad been considered it was accepted
and the bazaar postponed.

After this decision was made it was
decided that a theatrical performance
be given within the coming two weeks.
Mrs. E. T. Brown has the arrange
ments in charge and it is needless to
say that it will be a success in every
way. Mrs. Brown is a charming and
talented amateur who has had a wide
experience in theatrical affairs who
always carries to a successful end what
ever she undertakes.
The-play will be “engaged” by Gil
bert, and is one of the brightest that
ever camo from his talented pen.
Tbe caste will be a strong one and the
whole performance will be as finished
and smooth as it is possible to make it.
Mr. Haselton has very generously
offered the ladies the use of the opera
house at a low price, ol ly the actual
cost of the night’s expenses, and this
will,, of course, be a great help to the
ladies in their undertaking.
A DELIGHTFUL PROGRAMME.
The ladies of the Industrial Home are
in earnest in their work aud have pre
pared a delightful programme for tbe
summer months. Entertainments of
various kinds will be given at intervals
of two weeks whieh will be as enjoya-
able as summer entertainments, roam
aged by the ladies, usually are.
Two weeks after the performance in
the opera house a summer evening fes
tival will be given at the park and all
througlijihe summer these entertain
ments will be given. 'J hat they will be
well patronized goes without saying as
they will be giveu ih a good cause and
deserves patronage on account of their
excellence as well.

The meeting will be well attended as
tbe work is important and the ladies

ladies who so generously give i t so much
time and attention should receive every
encouragement from the whole of Ath
ens.

and when the sewer work is finished, as
it is at present planned, the system as a
whole will be as fine as there is any

AT LUCY COBB INSTITUTE.
A Novel Entertainment by the Young
Ladles.
Tbe young ladies of the Lucy Cobb
Institute entertained a large audience
yesterday at one o’clock with recita
tions in French and Mental Arithmetic.
The recitations were highly satisfac
tory and were enjoyed by those present
to a high degree.
Tbe first exbibiton was by the French
Class. The young ladies were arranged
around tbe room, and Madame Metais
gave out the English words and sen
tences to be converted into French.
The ease and rapidity with which the
young ladies did this work evinced tbe
thorough and complete results of the
training afforded at the Institute.
When a young lady made three mis
takes she took ber seat. Gradually the
ranks were thinned out until only six
yonng ladies remained.
These were Misses Varnedoe, Calla-
wav, Richmond, Walter, Jackson and
Holcombe.
These had not made a single mistake.
They drew for tbe prize and Miss Car
rie Lou Yarnedoe was the lucky winner
of the prize.
Tbe class in mental arithmetic then
gave an exhibition.
It is oertainly wonderful how the
young ladies make such remarkable
calculations. Tbe trainibg given tbe
mind in this mental drill is certainly
fine, ,
At the conclusion of the recitation.
Prof. C. P. Willcox delivered the prize)
a good ring, to MiBs Carrie Lou Yarne
doe.
His speech was delivered in French
and was enjoyed hugely by those who
understood it.
He then gave a waiter of tbe finest
candy to the class in mental arith
metic.
The exercises were pronounced a
success by all present.

wood.”

when the wild Indian ruled this beauti
ful forest land of Northeast Georgia.
Mr. A. J. West was the author of

The Toccoa News gives the following
account of his death:
Col. A. J. West died at his home in
Turnerville, April 27th, 1891. He has
been troubled a long time with heart
disease which was tbe cause of his
death, though his last illness was quite
brief; he was taken away suddenly and
his departure at tnia time was wholly
unexpected by his family.
Col. Andrew J. West was birn in
Buncomb county, N. C., Aug. 12, 1833,
he was therefore a little over fifty-eight
years old at tbe time of his death.
He early engaged in the mercantile
business, and previous to the war was
partner near EUijay, Ga., with Mr.
John W. Grady, father of the late Hen
ry W. Grady.
When tbe war broke out be enlisted
and was chosen 1st Lieutenant Of a com
pany gotten up by him. His bravery,
ability end gallantry in the field wan
such that he was made a Lieut, Colonel,
and soon ro4b to the rank of Colonel,
which position he held till tbe close of
the war. He served most of the time
under Gen. Joseph E. Johnstor.
After the war he did business for a
time in Homer, Ga. From there he
moved to Buckhorn,. Habersham co.,
thence to Turnerville, which town ha
organized, and was chiefly instrumental
in building.
At the time of his death be waa agent
for the Railroad and Express Comoa-
nies,* and was Postmaster at Turner
ville. - .
His wife a most estimable lady, was a
niece of his former partner, Mr. Grady,
and consequently own oousin of tha
lamented Henry W. Grady. This lady,
and six children, three sons and three
daughters, survive him; they have the
deep sympathies of a' wide circle of
friends in their sad beravament.
Mr. WJest was one of nature’s noble
men, a warm friend, a kind neighbor, a
most genial companion, an honored
citizen, a beloved ohriatain brother.
