ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION WILL HAVE ENTIRE CONTROL OF THE GREAT FIELD DAY. STUDENTS* MASS MEETING. It Wu Decided To Utv* tha Field Day Proframmt In the Hands of the Athletic Association—What the Boys Will Do. The Athletic Association Will have entire control of the Field day exercises And It.is needless to say that the erdaes will be, in every way, ble. The students, in mass meetingassen bled have so decided and their decis ion Is Anal in matters of that sort. Next Monday is the day set for the field day and the young gentlemen wfco contest for the prises will see a larg, crowd looking on. v Field day has always been well at tended her and this coming trial of akill will be particularly interesting. The Athletic Asaosiation has done a great work among the boys and they are now better muscled than ever before and will doubtless do themselves great credit on Monday next, tub association’s woke. The Athletic Association has done work that will be felt for many years among the a udenta of the University. It has fitted up a gymnasium and the exercise taken there has proven of great benefit. Under its fostering care the interest iu athletics of all kinds has in creased at a wonderful rate and bids lair to still grow. The interest the boys tske in base ball is very noticeable and they will soon be in n condition to do better athletic work than ever. The new gymnasium will probably be built, and, until that time, the preaent one will be used, and the apparatus in creased as fast as circumstances will p< rmit. There will soon be as flue and timsculr.r a set of boys over on the cam pus as can be found auvwhere. AS IT HAS I1KRN. Up to the preseut year the field day exercise* have been managed by the whole »cli«ol but now the Athletic As sociation will manage them. This the ftudents have decided iu mass mecting- Tliix was done because the athletes of tiie college-all belong to the association and it was thought only justice that tin y h>- permitted to make the arrange ments for the coming contest. FIELD DAY. The coining field day will be the beat liehl for many years and will doubtless draw a large crowd. There will be handsome prizes given to the successful contestant, prizes which will not only be appreciated for the victories they represent, but for their beauty as well. The following committees are now ac tively at work and the work assigned to them w ill be well and quickly done; Mr. Youngblood on prizes. Messrs. Coates and Lane, laying off grounds. llillyer, printing. Lane, reserved seats. Whclchel and lierty, apparatus. Mr. Youngblood will -call upon the merchants, accompanied by Prof. Herty, and solicit help from them for the purchase of these prizes, and it is hoped that they will contribute liber ally and lielp the boys out to a great ex tent. The other men will have their work finished by Monday and every thing will bn done tiiat can be to put the grounds iu the best condition. RKSERVRD SEATS. There will be reserved seats for sale on field day. Of course there will be no admission charged to the. campus but there will be reserved seats on sale and those who wish can occupy them. The. chairs will cost 25 cents apiece and it ia hardly necessary to say that the la dies will all be given chairs by their gal lant beaux. THK PROGRAM MB. The programme will embrace almost every feature that is -possible to be thought of. It is; 100 yards dash. Putting shot. Running high jump. Standing high jump. Standing broad jump.

Atlanta, Ga., May 3.—[Special.]— Delegates to the World’s Fair conven tion have begun to arrive, and every in dication points to x a convention of the character which the importance of the work iu hand demands. A number of prominent men are among those expec ted—some of them have already ar rived in the city. A few of the smaller counties have not been beard from, but the other, as a rule, will have strong representations. Among tbe names I notice in the list of delegates expected are: Hon. Pat Walsh, Mayor May,of Augusta; Mayor McDonough, of Savannah; Mayor Price, of Macon; Mayor Doxier, of Columbus; Mayor Walton, of Rome: Mayor Browu, of Athens, Mayor Baker* Cartersville, and, indeed, almost every city’s chief executive; Hon. Seab Reese, of Sparta; Hon. Hal Lewis, of Greensboro; Hon. R C. Jemison, of Macon; Senator Torn Lamb, of Bruns wick; Hon. H. O. Roebuck, of Elber- ton; Senator Hodges, of Hart, and many others. The list is a long one, and shows that the convention will be a thoroughly business gathering. All manufactures of tbe State have been given a special invi a ion to be present The programme for tbe convention bas not been definitely determined, but Gov. Nortben will preside at the organ- ination and perhaps at all tbe delibera tions. Bright, Gossipy Notes From Down ths Georgia Railroad.

We are told that in tho fifth century Sere- nus, a celebrated doctor, invented a mystic form of letters called Abracada bra, believed to be possessed of magical import, whereby they exercised won derful healing powers when used to permit their free scope. In the Six teenth century one physician claims to have cured two hundred cases of ague by banging the words about the necks of patients; while another claimed to care toothache by its use, though tbe paticut were teu miles off. In contrast to this, let’s look at tbe most wonderfnl remedy recent medical research has placed in the hands of suffering hu manity. Dr. Westmoreland’s Calisaya Tonic is prepared from a formula laud ed by leading physicians. It lends vig or to the generally debilitated, restores impaired digestion, is a sure cure for dyspepsia, and tones up a failing appo- tite. When tbe system is run down or over-wrought, by all means try Calisa ya Tonic. Then, too, it is an unfailing remedy in malarial districts, being a sure anti-periodic. For safe,by L. D.

A Gasoline Explosion and a Panic on a v Railroad Train. Atlanta, Ga., May 6.—[Special].— Passengers on the Central passenger train, which reached here this after noon, report a thrilling experience last, night, fourteen miles out from Savan nab, when the train was rushing along at the rate of thirty-five miles an hour. Something got wrong with the lights wheu the porter in endeavoring to fix things caused an explosion of gasoline that set the whole car on fire. It was crowded wi'h people and a great panic ensued. An effort was made to stop the train and the bell rope broke. Tbe porter who ran to tbe door was b- Jly burned, as was yard master Cabbage, of Savannah. Finally tbe train was stopped and tbe sleepers were pushed back by main force from tbe burning car which was entirely consumed. county judox. J. B. Edwards was today appointed county judge of Walton.

Atlanta has a big sensation in the ar rest of Dr. Mell Martin, city physician for fourth ward, and a prominent De catur street druggist. Today the grand jury had a special session and the re sult was the indictment of Dr. Martin on the charge of seduction. The complainant is Mrs. Brogan, and thO/principal witness is her fourteen- year-old daughter Katie, who, it charged is Dr. Martin’s victim. Mar- tin indignantly denies, the charge.

Dougel Blacks His Face and Puts on Sldawhlakers—Goes to His Uncle’s—Gets Him Away From Hie Moms New York. May 5.—From 4 o’clock in the afternoon nntil midnight the phy sicians pumped 305 gallons of oxygen into his longs. At intervals brandy and sparteine were injected. The devoted wife remained at his bed side all night. At dawn the life lamp still flickered, whilst at intervals daring the day he would brighten np and re cognize those about him. Occasionally he became very feverish, and his poise beat 180 and his tempera ture went np to 130. Shortly after 0 o’clock his attendants thought he was dead. He rallied again for a few min utes and then lapsed into unconscious ness. At 9:20 the end came. It was fifteen dare ago that the cork was swallowed which caused his death. One of his children was sick and he sent for medicine, which came in a three ounce bottle. Placing the child on uis knee ho drew the cork, which he placed in his mouth. His other child was look ing on aud sisked for some of the medi cine. Dr. Bothwell laughed at tho re- •raest and the cork slipped down his throat and entered the windpipe. Sev eral physicians were sent for, but they could not remove the obstacle. Then he was taken to the Brooklyn hospital. His treatment and suffering there the public 1 ~ familiar with. The reverend gentleman was 41 and a native of Ohio. After graduating from the Adrian (Mich.,) college he entered Yale. Dr. Bothwell became a Congre gational minister in 1876. His ministry St Newcoinerstown lasted nntil 1878. when he went to Fostoria, and his preaching there -attracted a large circle of friends. His next field .of labor was the Straight university, in Louisiana. Then he went to the Southern universi ty. He was president of both institu tions. Then he accepted a call from the Second Congressional church in Oak land, Cal. Last January he located in Brooklyn, and became pastor of the Church of the Covenant. During his brief pastorate he made many friends, and the congre gation gained many new members. He was a snnple, genial, whole-souled man, and everybody who came in contact jyith him liked him. He lived with his wife and two young children at 928 But ler street. Prayers were offered for Mr. Both- well’s recovery at the Tabernacle, the minister’s own church, and various Pro testant churches, At one of the Cath olic churches prayers were offered for * one who was in great suffering. ” This was understood to relate to Dr. Bothwell. It is probable that no autopsy will be held in the case—Mrs. Bothwell is op posed to it. ' With hope abandoned, there was noth ing to be gained by keeping from the too the mournful fact of her husband’s approaching end, and the news was jently broken to her. The developments n the case during thq past two or three days had partly prepared her for the shock, but her despair was heart-rend ing. and the gravest fears are entertain- ' for her condition. Charlotte, N. C., May 5.-It has been learned here that the murderer *f did man Conoly, in Robeson county, this elate, which occurred last week, was committed by his own nephew, A. Mc- Dongal, a prominent merchant of Lau- rinburg. * McDougal boarded a freight train,and left It a short way from Shannon. He blackened his face and put on sido whiskers. He was seen by several, and they all say it was a white man in dis guise. About dark he went to his uncle’s— Simeon Conoly—and in a disguised voice called him ont, and asked to be shown a path that led to Wilkes. Wheu 200 yards from the house he shot Conoly, and after he fell McDmgoI placed the pistol to the dying man’s head and fired a second time. The bullet was found in the ground about six inches deep, when Conoly’s head was lifted up. McDongal then started hack, and at the river tried to wash the blacking off and change Uis clothing, hut must have been frightened away, for he left his old pants and iui uudershir£, handkerchief and box of lampblack. He explained his dirty, greasy appear ance by saying he liad been riding on an engine. When he came back to Maxton every one noted his restless manner. For a week McDongal bas been very active in liaving Moore, Purnell and Kelly ar rested. When he heard that his effects had been found at the river, he went and got them and said they had been stolen from him. McDongal lias been held in high es teem by every one. He was a prominent member of the church, is unmarried, :uid for some time had been paying his uncle’s debts, s A few months ago, Conoly wanted a horse to run a farm. McDongal refused to advance the money unless Ids uncle would have his life iusnred for him—Mc- ■ Bengal's henefir. This was done, afid this, it is supposed, is the motive for the murder. It bus also come to light that Conoly’s life had been insured for about a year, and last Call McDongal tried to poison him by giving, him candy which con tained strychnine. Officers are in pur suit of McDougal. who left, going in the direction cf Charlotte. JESSUP ERECTS AN ALTAR, A Horrible Accident. Troy, N.

Jessup, one of the most prominent citizens of the town, has gone insane. He was taken violently ill a few days ago, but refused to allow a doctor to come to the house, and he relied solely on the faith-care advocates who sur rounded his bed day and night. Jessup at length conceived the idea 1hat he was a second Abraham, and that he Lord required a human sacrifice. Qn Thursday, being left alone for a few minutes, he prepared for the horrible affair by constructing an altar out of his bed-room furniture, around which he piled a heap of combustibles. Then he caught his little grand-child, 1 year old, and placed her on the altar and prepared to ignite it. The child’s cries attacted a member of the family, and the old man was marly killed in the straggle to re- strain Reading, Pa., May 5.—The heavy shower which fell Monday morning did more than the hands of men who have been fighting the fire on the Bine mount ains could accomplish in three days.
