A CHEAT GAME OF BALL. Next Saturday la Tha Day. And A Special Train Is Coins Over From A t*ana-Dozens Of Ladies Will Join The Boys On The Trip. RAILROAD RUMBLINGS A SPLENDID CONNECTION FROM ATHENS TO THE SEA. TO NEW YORK BY THE OCEAN On to Oxford! N-,w get ready boys! Every body is going to get on the excution traiu to Oxford next Satur day, and aside from a hundred and Ally merry college boys there will lie a hundred or more people from the town. The excitement is Increasing every day over the coming game of ball be tween Emory and the University, and St is the talk of the town. Not only that, but it is becoming the talk bf the entire state. Wnat fascination and charm, what a thrill of excitement ml ways goes with an intercollegiate base ball game! No Auer sport is ever seen on the diamond hi Id than is to be found when the teams of two rival college get to gether and cross bats. Especially wiH there be exciting times when the Uni versity aud Emory college meet each other. A SPECIAL TRAIN. The chancellor is very touch inter ested in the coming game. He hue written to General Manager Greeu of the Georgia railroad and the £ eiieral manager of the Covington and I aeon asking if there cannot be a sp» - cial excursion train sent out for the use of the students and citizens that day, to go from Athens to Oxford. Tito scho lull! will be a convenient our if the special train i* secured, and there is no reason to believe that it will no' be secured. The train will lea\e Alh ens early Saturday morning and will Mach Oxford at noon. The game will be played in the afternx»n, aud the Ath- ens parir will return before bedtime S nurd y nigh'. There ..ill bo about one hundred and fifty college boys to go over from the University uud they will be accompa nied by a large crowd of citizens, ladies aud children. A large party of young la-lies is being organized to go over, and it promises to be a great game and a general picnic, too. The train will be dyked out In th-- Univeroky’s colors; and' the boys will wear ihe colors in flashy streamers on their coals. 8<> will the girls who join the excursion. SMOKY'S I1K3AT TEAM. Emory bus a good team. * It will be remembered that every time the Univi rsily boys have crossed bats with Kniory, the Emories have been downed most Disgracefully. The last game was played at Union Point, and tlie University boys whipped ttii- Oxford hoys to the tune of 12 to 1, without halt trying. But it won’t happen again, so easily. Ktoory, they say, has a splendid nine tins year, ami the University boys must “play mighty g oj ball,” if they want to b-at them. More than this, the Emory fellows have been practicing on the diamond ev.-r since Christmas while the ’’picked nine of the University has never yet played a single game together, owing to sickness among the men. It was Emory that has given the challenge, and the boys over there seem to beo rntident of success. But ‘‘Little tlerty” will ‘’see them one.” Won’t you Herty ?

Athena will have first rate connections with the sea when the Centiml takes entire charge of the Covington and Ha con and operate* that totd in direct connection as a through line to the Sa vannah steamship schedules. And this is just what is promised too by those who are in a position to know about the attain of the Central, and the Richmond ft Danville. It will be re membered that the Richmond A Dan ville made every effort to secure the Covington and Macon with a view to making it a connecting lice by Athens from the northeast to the south. Soon after the road was gobbled by the Richmond A Danville it turned up that the Central was leased by that com pany a a . And naturally enough the central secured the operation of the Covington and Macon very shortly after it was leased to the Richmond and Dmville. What does all this mean if it doesn't mean that the Richmond A Danville is after nothing less than a splendid throughline of freight aod passenger traffic from the rich Piedmont section to THE EP1SC0P. LIA1.S WILL MEET IN SAVANNAH THIS MORNING. A BISHOP TO BE ELECTED. Something About the Men Who Will Come Before the Convention—A Full List of the Delegatee-A Fine Memorial The Episcopal convention of the dio cese of Georgia Will meet in Christ church, Sevan nah, Wednesday, May 13, today, and will be in session about three days. The delegates consist of all the cler gymen of the diocese and three lay del egates from each perish.

Bishop Thompson will be the guest of Colonel Gordon during bis stay in the city. The clerical and lay delegates will be entertained at private houses and at the De Soto. Members of the standing committee will be entertained the tropic lands of Southern Georgia I at ^to. and the coasts. It is known that the Central railroad bag the best steamer connections of all the railroads leading to the Southern Atlantic coast. Speaking of the Central and its on nectiona. it lias now w< rked its way right into Chattanooga by way of the Chattanooga, Rome & Columbus. Gen. Alexander is in New York, it is understood, to arrange a consummation of the deal. The new line, it is understood, will be h part of the S ivannah and Western system. A proposition was submitted to the stockholders of the Chattanooga, Rome and Columbus last week for the l.urehaie of the prosperity, to indorse 1224,000 first mortgage 5 per cent, bonds •ssued by the Chattanooga, K .me ami Columbus, and now outstanding, and in addition there to transfer to the stock ■ i older* of the latter road $400,000 of Savannah and Western 5 per ceut.

The Central will now have a through line to Chattanooga. The Chattanoo ga, Rome and Columbus rims from Carrollton, where it collects with tne Savannah, Griffin and mirth Alabama to Chattanooga, main line and branch mineral roads’. The distance from 6avannah to Chattanooga is sev enteen miles greater than by Atlanta and the Western and Atlantic, but be ing over its own roads the Ceutral will have the advantage in freight hauls. The Chattanooga, Rome and Columbus runs through Chickumaug* and passes directly by the state military encamp ment ground. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. Dr. White is in Savannah. Mrs. D. W.

The deal has been pending lor two or *umo person. After the opening service, the con vention will be called to order by Rev. Wm. C. Hunter, of Orangeburg, presi dent of the standing committee. After the calling of the convention to order, the president and secretary will be elec ted, and the various committees will be ppointed. And Athens has sent down as dele gates to the convention. Rev. J. C. Davis, Hon. Pope Barrow, l>r. H. C. White, and ProJ. C. P. Wilcox. This delegation will be one of the strongest in the convention and will have weight uud influence in its counsels. THE ELECTION. The most important matter that will come before the convention, the election f a bishop, will probably be made a standing order ehrly in the session. In the election of a bishop, after nomina tions have been mnde, ti e secretary culls the roll of the c.ergv who deposit their ballots with the tellers. The name f the nominee receiving the majority is then handed down to the laity, who vote in a similar manner, each parish i-eing entitled to one vote. If the laity concur with the clergy the election is made unanimous, and the testimonials of the bishop-elect are then signed, if they fail to concur or select some other perron, the name is handed to the clergy who vote upon it in the same manner as before. The voting is continued until a majority of both orders vote for the WHO will rr 118. The position of bishop is one which calls for a man in the truest and best sense of the word, no oue who cannot be looked up to aud honored would fill the place acceptably, no one who is not acceptable to • lie chnruh all over the Uditcd States of Auaericn, as well as in Georgia, could fill the place if he would. It is an honorable and great position, and Georgia has given some of the greatest and best of men to the world as bishops.

Athens baa more graceful equrs- tnennes than any city its size in the Southern State. Athens will have better railroads in the future than she has ever had be fore. Every body joins the complaint that we are getting vary poor beef these days. The Southern Baptist Convention will be heln in Atlanta next time, and a b g crowd of Athens Baptists will go over then. Picnics are not over yet, it seems. The Baptist Sunday school and the Presbyterian Sunday school will have an outing next Saturday. The handsome new residence which Mr. A. L.

Spanish Government N«ivo Madrid, May 12.—The Spanish gov ernment has been notified by several na tions of their readiness to renew com mercial treaties with it. To these ad vances the government has replied that the would-be negotiations must wait for the rei»rtof the royal commission,which is now compiling a new protective tariff upon which all negotiations must be based.

Cumberland, McL, May 12.—Asbury Green, colored, who. was sentenced to 21 years’ imprisonment for an assavlt upon Mrs. Tol.ion, was lynched at Centerville, Md., shortly after midnight.

The road is pushing its way right along to Athens as fast as human hands less energy, but with all its labor be one which with its many rewards will be more than grutifying. The three names that will probably be brought before the convention are tuose of Bishop Wingfield, of northern Cali fornia; Rev. Cbaucey C. Williams, of Augusta, and Rev. Mr. Gailor, of the University of South, Sewanee, Tenn. Each one of these g ntlemen is Well known throughout Georgia and' all knowii favorably.

And is trying to play the insanity dodge. So the news comes from Carnesville, the county seat of Franklin county, where tLe genial doctor is confined. The Banner readers will renumber that some days ago Dr. Glover escaped from jail, shoeing that he had a pretty good bead on bis shoulders. It took shrewd work to plan the es- cape and carry it out but the doctor was equal to the emergency and skipped. He was recaptured, however, in a few days, and once more placed in jail. Immediately after his second incar ceration a change, quick and percepti ble took place in his behaviour. His -harp and steady eys commenced to roll in a queer way; his still tongue commenced to way at both ends aud to wag in a funny manner. He told jokes, danced and sang snatches of song. To all api>earance8 he was insane. And m all appearance is yet. But the people in Carnesville believe him sound in mind and propose to let che trial go on and have justice done. In spite of his antics the doctor will jrobably stand his trial aud probably le convicted as well. Clabkk Always in the Lead.— Speaking of the work of the World’s Fair Convention the Atlanta Journal says: Clarke county, always at the front in the movements for the advance ment of her State’s interests, was a lead ing factor of the convention, the opin ion ef her ralented sou, the Hon. An drew J. Cobb, influencing the action bf the b >dy more than any other one thing. Dr. Newton, president of the Clarke County Farmers’ Club, took an active part in the proceeding-; and was one of the most enthusiastic delegates on the floor. Ahead of the Government. Brussels, May 12.—Tlie striking work men of France and Belgium are commu nicating by means of carrier pigeons. This is done to prevent the opening of thoir letters by tlie governments of either country. There are no bridges to make, all of I before all the bishops and all the stand them being ready now to go up in a I ing committees of every diocese in the moment's notice, and it will only be a I country.

If you decide, from what you have beard or read, that you will take Hood’s Sarsaparilla, do not be induced to buy any substitute instead. It is with the greatest gratification that the Banner calls notioe to the new schedule of the Northeastern. The passenger schedule that was run on that road until lately was a shameful slam on Athens, for the train left this city at 5 o’clock in the morning and returned at <2 at night. The improvement consists in leaving at 8:30 and returning at 11:10. The full schedule as changed may be found I Dunn'“coIo? in this issne of the Banner. It will be present and assist in the laying on of hands. All of this takes time, and it may be the latter part of the summer or- early in the fall before the new bishop will be at his post ready tor work.

Not a Very BaB Ego.—The Ban ner’s museum (all newspapers have museums) bas received its latest curios ity in the shape of a queer hen’s egg. The egg is a double one, which means that it has two ovals linked together. One of the ovals contains the white and the other the yellow of tbe egg which both of them are supposed to form. The shell is perfectly soft but tenacious, it being more of a leather binding than a shell. This curiosity comes from the phenomenal store of J. S. King ft Co Hr. Jim King the genial -member of the arm who compliments the Banner with this queer egg, found the concern in one of his hen’s nests.

I have never for gotten the assurance I gave, in the presence of thousands of my Buffalo friends, during the presidential campaign of 1684, to the effect that whatever the future might have in store for me, 1 should endeavor so to perform my duty as to merit their approv al nud friendship. As I visit these mends again, self-examination brings to me no reproaches. I know tha‘. I have done no violence to the sentiments and resolutions which, when I lived among you, received vour approval and endorsement. I feel that I can but feebly express my apprecia tion of the courtesy of this occasion, because language is weak. You must know how I have enjoyed the kindly meet ings of my old friends, and 1 hope Ineed not tell yon how it delights me to witness the growth and increased beauty of my old home. I assure you that, from the fullness of a peatful heart, I wish for tbe city of Bufla- i boundless prosperity and advancement, and for the people of Buffalo heaven’s choicest blessings and happiness and con tentment, which find their abiding place in generous and unselfish hearts.
