this item about the trouble:
There was a fight on the Seaboard
Airline’s excursion train at the union
depot just before it left the city late
yesterday afternoon. In the fight
Albert E. Hawkina, a negro excursion-
ist, severely stabbed Mr. Larldn Arnold,
of Madiaon. The fight occurred on the
train and was witnessed by several
people, but the origin of it could not bo
learned. People who saw the cutting
attribute it to whisky. They only
know that the two men quarreled, made
for each other and then Hawkins drove
his knife into Arnold’s neck, making a
dangerous and bloody wound. Think

A BRILLIANT COMET
Has Been Seen by an Athanlan in tha
Northern Sky.
A gentleman in this city remarked
to a Banner reporter that for one or
two nights he had seen a veritable
comet lathe northern sky, and that
its tail was very lengthy. He requests
that Banneb readers be on the lookout
for It. After the remarks of this gen
tleman we read tbe following associ
ated press dispstob:
Ottawa, Oat, July 17.—Prof. Wig
gins says that in two or three weeks
very brilliant comet will be seen in the
northern sky. He had been watching
some weeks for a comet, which be says
is the large variable star seen by Cor
nelias Gemma in 1570 in tbe ocnstella-
tion of Cassiopeia, as Its reappearance
was abontdne. In 1864 be announced
that Gemma’s star, usually called tbe
■tar of Bethlehem, was only a large
comet at its perihelion when its tail
surrounded it and gave it the appear
ance of a star of the first magnitude,
He considers that his theory has been
proved now, for on the night of the 8tb
instant be saw tor a few minutes be,
tween clouds and near the pole of the
heavens a star of the sixth magnitude
moving rapidly sunward, which he
pronounces a comet, and which is seek
ing a nearer perihelion than in 1870.
On its return from the sun it will be
very brilliant. It is now, he gays, pro
bably below the horizon.

STOLE A BRIDE-
8Ixteen-Yoxrs-Oid John Collins, tha
Violinist Steals a Parmer’s Daughter
Atlanta, Ga, July 17.—Tha sixteen-
year-old boy who goes about tbe streets
with his younger brother playing a
violin baa stolen a bride and iR*ohargei
with tempering with the United States
mails. The polioe are after him and ao
the irate father of the young lady
whom he carried away from home.
Tbe violin-playing bride-stealing
young man haa been a familiar figure
on the streets of the oity for several
months. He came to Atlanta from
near Lawrenceville, where he learned
to coax musio out of the violin. After
getting proficient in his art he and his
younger brother came to Atlanta and
earned a good many niokles by playing
popular airs on tbe doorsteps of resi
dences. The youngster is named J. T.
Collins, and his father recently moved
to the city.
No one who listened to the music of
the youthful riolia player ever aus
pec ted that he waa in love and was on
the point of running off with a bride.
If suoh a thing had been suggested to
the numerous auditors of the boy
musician it would have been discarded
too preposterous to be thought of.
But auoh was the case.
The object of the young violinist’s
adoration was Miss Mary Msffstt, tbe
sixteen-year old daughter of Farmer
William Maffett, who lives a few miles
ont from Lawrenceville. The father of
the young girl strongly opposed the
love-making of the young mosioian and
tried to keep the two from meeting.
But it ia an old story that love knows no
barriers, and it oame to pass that the
two frequently met.
Last Thursday morning Mira Maffe'fi
disappeared from home and juquiry
soon elioited the faot that she left in the
company of the violinist. The tether
of the girl hurried to the ordinary to
warn him not to issue a marriage
license to the youthful pair.
Yesterday Farmer Maffett came to
Atlanta looking for the runaways. He
reported the ease to the officers and
turned over to Detective Green e huge
navy revolder which he had fonnd
where Collins had been stopping. He
could find neither Collins nor his
daughter, however.
Maffett ia sorely wrought np over the
elopement of his daughter with the
young musician, and declares that ho
will have Collins punished. He says
Collins is guilty of a violation of the
postal laws, as be went to the Law
renceville postrffloe and took ont his
(Maffett’.) mail, and opened it. He
says he will have Collins prosecuted
for this.
A full description of the oonple was
given to all the policemen and they
were instructed to arrest them. Maffett
says the two walked the entire distance
from Lawrenceville to Atlanta.
Cholera infantum has lost its terrors
since the introduction of Chamberlain’s
Colio, Cholera and Diarrhea i Remedy.
When that remedy is used and the
treatment as directed with each bottle
is followed, score is certain. Mr. A-
W. Walters, aprominent merchant at
Wsltersburg. HI., says: “It cured my
babv boy of cholera infantum after sev
eral other remedies had failed. The
ohild was so low that he seemed almost
beyond the aid of human hands or reach
of any medicine.” 25 and 50 cent bot
