TUB FIRST TELGGB.M RECEIVED
From Athens Branch Office
in New York—The Case
Postponed Until October.
An Illustrated Bum*
ble-Bee.
The Banner's suggestion M to i
branch office of the municipal govern
ment of Athena being eatahlisbed in
New York see mi to have been adopted-
And the 11 rat telegram come to A li
en* therefrom yesterday. It said.
Mb B.I Smith,
Athena, Ga.,
Judge’s account case
postponed October. Everything is all
right. Bast easy.
A H. Hodgson.
It seems as if the judge who was to
have tried the case on his own account
put it off until Ootober,and neither si Je
had anything to do with the contin
uance.
Tae latter part of the telegram was a
little ambiguous to the people and they
didn’t know exactly how to take it.
They wanted to believe it to be trne,
but it appeared in such an ironical light
that they couldn’t swallow it.
That is about the tenor of the message
Mr. Hodgson brought back once or
twice before, but the people have learn
ed to regard his judgment as being as
f illible as that of the next man, and
probably a little more so. It is to be hoped
that all is right and that the people oan
rest easy, but things don’t look that
way.
The committee is'probably on its way
back from New York by now, and will
soon be back here to render an account
■of the tnp in that full and perfect man
ner that has characterized it in the past
WHAT THEY THINK ABOUT IT.
An interview with a large number of
citizens yesterday revealed the fact that
the business men and doubtless the
other citizens also are a unit on this
question. They endorse the stand ta
ken by the Banner, and say that th-
blatne should he fixed on the rightful
parties, and that in the future admin
istration of governmental affairs should
be more strictly guarded.
As n rule the people condemn the
j ldgment of the finance committee for
sending Mr. Hodgson to New York
with the bonds; they oondemn Mr.
Hodgson for violating the instructions
given him by the flna'oe committee,
and thus placing the city in a position
to he sued; they condemn Mr. Bucker
and Mr. Nottman for sleeping over their
rights in the matter of the Cartersville
D.cision, and they condemn all whe
knew of the existing state of aff >irs in
the oase and did not reveal them to the
oonnoil or to the people.
who advised it. ~
It is said that if the city was not a
party to the suit in the New York
courts she would not be bound by any
judgment rendered- She became a
party to the suit voluntarily at the in
stance of oounoil, noting under the le
gal advice of Judge Alex S. Erwin,
who at that time was representing Mr.
Rucker, who was at Washington, in
quest of the district attorneyship.
KNEW IT IN ATLANTA.
The intelligence of the true nature of
the case was known in Atlanta before
it was in Athens. While it was being
kept from the people of Athens, Mr
Bucker did not hesitate to tell it to par
ties in the Gate City. Why wasn’t it
told here?
THE REASON THEY WENT.
There has been some talk aa to why so
many sUizens should have gone onto
New York this time to defend the suit
pending. The answer of the oounoil is
this:
Alderman Vincent took the position
at the meeting of council Friday morn
ing that no witnesses would be neoes-
saay if the mere question as to who
broke the contract was all that was to
he settled. Mayor Tnck then told of
the failure to get in the Cartersville de
cision and the prayer for perpetual in
junction. Alderman Yinoent then fa
vored sending the witnesses on. The
oaae had to be tried on its merits with
out the aid of Georgia law, and the ne
cessity of witnesses was apparent in the
emergency whioh had arisen.
FIGHTING THE WORLD.
The oity of Athens is not fighting the
■bondholders alone. Folly fifty millions
.of dollars of invested capital is behind
the oppoeing party in this suit, for it is
N test case and a great deal depends on
it In the light of this faot it is not
surprise that delays and all manner of
schemes are being worked in New York.
B METHINO UNDER THE SURFACE.
The people are of the opinion that
there is something under tbe surface in
this matter of which tEe average. Athe
nian would not be dreaming under or
dinary circumstances. From the very
outset there have been curious move
ments in the matter.
Mr. Alonzo B’ohardson, cashier
the Atlanta Trust and Binking Com
pany, was in Athens trying to bay the
bonds. On the morning on whioh
bonds were sold, Mr. Btchardson show
ed Mr. McGowan a letter from the
X suitable Mortgage Company author
ising him to bid olj hundred and one
for tbe bonds, and said that he bad made
arrangements with the Equitable to uae
the money until Athena needed It at 3
per bent.
Later in the day Mr. Richardson
came into Mr. McGowan’S office in a
gleeful manner and said he had bought
the bonds at par and bad loaned fifteen
thousand dollars at 6 percent to one of
the parties negotiating the bonds, thus
pocketing 3 per cent on tbe transac
tion.
Later on in tbe transaction with the
Equitable Mortgage Company, that
company had tbe gall to advise tha oity
to compromise with Howell and boy
his old works.
And even now there is an sir of mys
tery over the. whole matter, audit is
hard to find out tbe truth of affairs- If
Mr. Howell had set down and deliber
ately laid hia plans to entrap the city
be could not have succeeded more glo
riously in his attempt.
AS ILLUSTRATED BUMBLE-BEE.
There were rumors on the street yes
terday of the early appearance of an
illustrated Bumble-Bee devoted to the
waterworks question and. its thorough
elucidation. There is little doubt but
that its columns would be breezy and
interesting if they oould be edited by
some one from on the inside.

The Boys at Home :
Gee wblUkins! this is tbe jeems
dandiest town on earth. East Athena
ain’t a circumstance.”
We had beard of this place before
we eame here, but never had both tbe
money and the opportunity to come at
the same time till we "floated” here on
those, water bonds. Bat say, speaking
of fleeting, the floating capacity of
those Athens bonds is phenomenal.
Why, after we had first landed here on
them, they floated clear oat of oar
reach, way ont into a seeming bound
less ' sea of litigation, and that’s the
reason we had to go back to Athens for
more steerage timber to try to anchor
them.
We (truck a suoker catcher, by the
name of Nottman, experienced in the
floating and anchoring business, but
bis ballast gave ont too soon, and it
looks now as if our entire barque will
be oonfistiostad and gobbled by a for
eign coart.
Its "tight” times we have been hav
ing, bat speaking of "tights,” you just
ought to he here and take a swing
around tbe Bowery.- Tights are just
now getting ripe good. They were
cordially, cultivated daring the “sea
son” last winter, and they are just now
ready for the market.
Under ordinary circumstances, boys,
we would not be able to give yon all
these tips to store away for future
reference, in case yon should ever learn
to float, but yon see we are here as the
servants of tiu» people, at theexpena9
of the tax-payers aa it were, and we
feel it oar duty to serve every class of
society, otherwise we might be accused
of favoritism.
But with no desire to divert yonr
mind too rapidly from the beauties of
the Bowery we just want to say a word
in praise of tax-payers. They deserve
They are so liberal- and broad
minded. In fact the min’di of Athens’
tax-payers is just now stretched like a
Bowery stocking, all the way from
Georgik to New York. Then liberality
—they actually throw in the moat de
lightful summer trips to New York
with their mnnioipal offices to "ser
vants.” Who can gainsay the state
ment that the day of the servant is
dawning brighter, under the reign of
liberal government?
Bat talking about stretching, we
have had some experience. We never
dreimed that a little place like New
York eonld give ns the. big head, but
believe it or not, after we had dressed
two mornings in this place hat stretch
ers went np four points. It may he the
hats shrank, but we think it was a tem
porary “head swimming,” brought on
oy the "floating” process connected
with those bonds.
The most interesting character we
have met here from a servant’s stand
point is that individual Nottman. He
is exactly what his name, indicates—a
Knot-man, and he has got the Athena
case into a knot, by not winding np bis
plea before it was. too late, that we will
not get nntied for some time, if we are
not mistaken.
There is one thing that commends
this town above all others to the aver
age Athenian, and that is there., are no
Bumble-Bees published here. Of course
a respectable Bumble-Bee would not
tackle a servant of the people, bat then
there is a degree of relief in knowing
there is none about.

May Cause a Collision of Hia Head
With Hamp
Atlanta, Ga, Jane 27.—[Special.]
—Dr. G. W. Gardner, who has been
practicing medicine in this city for ten
years or more past, was arrested yes
terday charged with producing abor
tion upon Katie McEwen, a 16-year old
school girl.
Gardner, together with El Hollings
worth who caused tbe girl’s ruin, and
Lea Robinson, a negro who assisted in
the crime of harboring the girl daring
her illness and subsequently burying
the infant to his yard in a soap box, are
now looked up in the station house.
This is not Dr. Gardner’s firat offense
of the kind, bat it is likely to be his lest
for some time to come at least. He
was tried and' convicted of a similar
charge tome years ago, but never
sent to the penitentiary. He ia a man
of very good appearance, drives in a
stylish rig, and while scarcely known
at all in the regular oiroles of tbe pro
fession, has every appearance of doing
a thriving practice—a practioe doubt
less confined mainly to that class of
business which is responsible for his
present trouble.
It appears that those upon whom he
thrives are rather above than below the
middle classes and the police, who have
always been convinced of his rasoality,
have, found it impossible to tarnish
proof to oonviot. They now claim to
have him fast, however, and the evi
dence turned np today makes the oase
look that way. Besides having gained
notoriety, by reason of his former trial
for abortion, Dr. Gardner also figured
ia a disgusting scandal that came near
getting him a coat of tar and feathers
some years ago.
City Detectives Cason and Looney
brgged Gardner today. Katie McEwen,
who is the daughter of a oontraotor
and lives on the Boulevard with her
sister, Mrs. Paul Smith, tells a straight
story, though she begged the detectives
to keep it out of tbe papers and let her
marry Hollingsworth. Hollingsworth
has been paying attention to her for
several years. He betrayed her four
months ago, and two weeks ago took
her to Dr. Gardner, who performed an
operation. Afterward she was carried
to house of the negro Lie Robinson,
where she now is nnable to be removed.
It is believed that a oase of murder in
the first hegree will be made againBt
Dr. Gardner and that .his life will pay
the penalty of bis crime.
THIS' IS GOOD.

ooraess- i have tried all the remedies
advertised for theee diseases and got no

and my digestion were perfectly re

State Capitol Atlanta, Ga.. Aug. 5, *91
Dr. B. B. Davis, the popular and
well-known dentist, is & mechanical
and electric genious of the trueststamp.
And his ingenuity has put him on
the high road to fortune. In fact, it
waa authentically stated on tbe streets
yesterday afternoon that ho had been
offered and had deolined $50,000 for an
invention of his brain.
This will be gratifying news to Dr.
Davis’s scores of friends.
The invention is a bioycle support,
and its introduction will be hailed with
delight by the thousands of wheelmen
in tiie country.
Only a few days ago Dr. Davis con
ceived the idea of making a prop or
support for bicycles, while standing
to abviate the difficulty of hunting a
tree or wall to rest a -wheel against
when the rider dismountea. He sec tir
ed some brass bars and set to work on
the model in his miniature machine
shop in a p .rtaon of his office, in which
he employs his leisure moments.
After a week’s work he completed
the model and sent it the
patent office. To his great
surprise’ his maohine created a sensa
tion in the patent offiee, and congratu
latory letters and telegrams began to
pour in. But a pleasanter form of com
munications began to folUow. They
were flattering offers from munufao-
turers, and it is stated on good author
ity that Dr. Davis had a straight offer
oi $50,000 for his patent and priviligea,
whioh was taken under o'onaider&tion.
The support works automatically and
is so attsohed to tbe wheel that by a
thumb-press, the moment the wheel
stops, it falls gracefully to the ground,
holding the whole steady and erect in
dependent of any other support. It is
bright, pretty and ornamental and
does not inorease the weight of the
wheel materially.
Dr. D&vis will leave today to .inves
tigate the offers for his invention and
patent.

MISS FOBCE ACQUITTED.
Was Adjudged Insane and will Go to
the Asylum. .
Atlanta, June 27.—[Special ]— At 3
o’clock the jury brought in a verdict of
not guilty. .
This verdict is in the trial of Miss
Jnlia Force for the killing of her sister
Florence.
A consent verdict of not guilty will
be allowed on the other indictment for
the kilting of her sister Minnie.
Miss Force will be sent to the asy
lum.
Able speeches were made, by the
State’s solicitor and the defendants at
torneys. Judge Clarke delivered his
charge in an explicit and foroible man
n«r.
In referring to the enormity o f the
crime Judge Clark dwelt upon it and
said the jury could oonsider the prior
liie of the prisoner as well as the prior
life of the victim.
He said the crime, committed by
Christian woman, was enormous, the
only parallel to it being the Borden
mu der, if it was committed by Lizzie
Borden. He thought this crime even
more enormous than that.
At the reference to the prisoner’s
prior life her face grew softer in its ex
pression, there was a convulsive twitoh-
ing of the muscles about the month,
there was a running over oic the eyes
and with a quick movement she threw
her veil over her face, put her] handker
chief to her eyes and sobbed convul

A MUSIC CHART.
We call attention to the Internation
al Publishing Co.’s advertisement rela
tive to the “Nell’s Chart of the Rudi
ments of Music.” It is the most con
cise and simple method for teaching
the rudiments of masic ever invented
and all lovers and teachers of th*
grand art will bail with delight this
great work which lightens the labor of
both teacher and pupil to such an ex
tent that a small child can learn in a
few clays what it formerly took months
to acquire. This chart is indorsed by
the best musicians and teachers in
America, and has met with great suc
cess. Any one interested in musia
should call and investigate this chart.
It will certainly pimress those who see
