Death*.

Moultrie, Ga., Oct. 19.—The recent
killing of H. C. Nesmith, of Antrey-
ville, and his son Nathan, by Henry and
Robert Harris, has called out a strong
revelation.
W. R. Key, who is a member of the
family, declares that ho had Warning
through the cock crowing of the im
pending death of the victim. Says he:
“I hud two brothers who went to the
war, and a few days liefore the death of
each one of them the. cock crew about
supper time about nine times each night,
after which we heard of the deatli of my
brothers. Ever since that time before a
deatli in the family they keep it up. I
have killed some for the habit, to stop
it, but another will take it up. Since
the war my fat her and mother and two
of my childreu, my father and motler-
iti-law and others have died, and I was
forewarned of it by the cock crowing.
We have hud a young rooster this fall
that began 4 crowing nl.cut dark, and it
kept me so uneasy I had him killed a
few days ago. That same night another
took up .the habit. Since t he deat h of
Nesmith he has stopped.”

Dr. J. C. Orr, the efficient City Sani
tary Inspector, was plodding along
Clayton street yesterday morning.
The rain wa^coming down in tor
rents and Dr. Orr had an umbrella raised
above him.
The umbrella looked a little queer, the
ribs being white-tipped.
On inquiry it was found that the
umbrella had a history. It is forty-five
years old and has been in constant ser
vice for that length of time.
In 1852 Mr. Blanton M. Hill gave to
Dr. Orr this umbrella, and Dr. Orr has
been using it ever since.
The umbrella is of the very best make.
The ribs are of wlialeboue and the rib
tips are covered with ivory. The handle
is of the finest ivory.
Since 1852 the cloth portion of the
umbrella 1ms worn out once and a new
top has had to be put ou the frame, but
aside from this repairing the old um
brella is the same now as it was when
first presented to Dr. Orr.
It is a good-looking umbrella yet, and
no one upon looking at it would ever
suspicion its having seen many years of
service.
The use of whalebone for umbrella
ribs is not continued now, the introduc
tion of kerosene oil linviug destroyed
the whale oil market and rendered
whalelsme much more expensive.
The True Remedy.
W. M. Repine, editor Tiskilwa, Ill.
‘Chief,” says: "We won’t keep house
without Dr. King's New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs, and Colds. Ex
perimented with nmnv others', but never
got the true remedy until we used Dr.
King’s New Discovery. No other rem
edy can take its place in our home, as in
it we liavO a certain and sure cure for
Coughs, Colds, Whooping Cough, etc.’ f
It is idle to experiment with other rem-
edies, even if they are urged on you as
just as good as Dr. King's New Discov
ery. They are not as good, because this
remedy has a record of cures and lieeides
is guaranteed. It never fails to satisfy.

Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 19.—A cruel, heavy
blow with his hard fist in the face of bis
bride of a week cost Milo Witt his post
tion with the Atlanta fire department
yesterday.
Witt struck his young wife in a fit cf
anger, and Chief Joyner would

able. When he heard of the affair he
promptly discharged the fireman and

Mob Take* Penn and Hazleton Away from
Officers.
Rome, Ga., Oct. -29.—Reports from
Summerville, thirty miles from north of

Penn and Hazleton were lynched last
night.
The men were accused of arson and
had been arrested by the sheriff and
While returning with their prisoners
a masked mob overpowered the officers
and disappeared with the negroes into
the woods.
Nothing has been seen or heard of the
prisoners since.
A few weeks ago the editor was taken
with a very severe cold that caused him
to -be in a most miserable condition. It
was undoubtedly a bad case of la grippe
and recognizing it as dangerous lie took'
immediate steps to bring about a speedy
cure. From the advertisement of Cham
berlain’s Cough Remedy and the many
good recommendations'included therein,
we concluded to make a first /rial of the
medicine. To say that it was satis
factory in its results, is putting it very
mildly, indeed. It acted like magic and
the result was a speedy and permanent
cure. We have no hesitancy in recom
mending this excellent Cough Remedy

U. S. Deputy Collector M. A. B. Ta
tum met a horrible death yesterday
morning at ’three o’clock at the Seaboard
Air Line bridge over the Oconee river.
It was sudden, tragic, and awful in its
nature. The deceased hardly knew that
death was at hand until the breath left
his body.
A plunge through the darkness for a
distance of sixty feet, and all was over
with the United States officer.
By some mistake he stepped off the
platform of the passenger coach and met
death 0:1 the rocks below the big bridge.
As the train came to a standstill at the
Macon & Northern crossing, the passen
ger couches were upon this end of the
bridge. All was darkness outside and
Mr. Tatum for some reason, probably
thinking he was at the depot, stepped
from the car.
The trainmen soon went lelow and
picked np his mangled remains. Life
was almost extinct when they started
with him to the Seaboard depot, and
before they had proceeded far he was
dead.
Nearly every bpne in Mr. Tatum’s
body was broken by the full, and death
resulted quickly from the injuries and
shuck received.
The body was carried to the depot and
properly attended to. Coroner Rogers
was notified and held un inquest yester
day afternoon.
The Resnlts ol of the Inquest.
The jury was empanelled as follows:
W. F- Dorsey, foreman; C. H. C< Ison,
John McDormau, Abe A. Morris, J. M.
Allgood, and J. P, Fears.
A. H. Cook, the hack man, was the
first person who reached the deceased.
When the train got in, some one gave
him a grip and said the ower had Step
ped off file train. A half dozen men
with lanterns went down below the
bridge and found Mr.. Tatum. He was
breathing a little. They started back'to
the depot but hesdied in a few minutes.
The fall was about sixty feet, the body
being found ou a pile of loose rock.
Captain J. C. Cothran, the conductor
in charge of the train, said that Mr.
Tatum boarded the train at Elberton,
and that be noticed nothing unnsual in
his condition. The train came to a full
stop at the crossing. Capt. Cothran tes
tified that it was not the custom to call
out Athens before the crossing was
reached. He did not hear the statiotf
called until the crossing was passed.
Dr. Benedict was telephoned for hut
a few minutes later was told not to come
as Dr. Marion Hull, who had boarded
the train, pronounced Mr. Tatum dead.
John Cohen, the porter, was the only
one who saw him fall. He testified that
he told him not to get off. He said that
he didn’t call the station until after the
accident occurred. He saw the deceased
get up and move towards the door. He
told him not to get off.
The deceased moved on and just as
the traiu started stepped off. Just be
fore he stepped off the porter said .he
shouted at him uot to jump. It was a
dark night aud a drizzling rain was fall
ing. There never appeared to be any
thing wrong with deceased.
A. L. Mickel, of Elberton, talked to
deceased before reaching Athens. He
said that no announcement of the
station was made. .Ha saw deceased
pass out of car door and heard the porter
say to him “don’t get off here” in a
loud voice, and that deceased made no
reply.
Mr. Mickel testified that the porter
shouted the second time loud enough
to be heard three hundred feet, “Don’t
get off here. Good God that man has
jumped off the trestle.”

cheating and swindling has been with
drawn.

officers for- twenty four hours, he is
again a free man.

arrest, have been adjusted, and Mr. A.
L, Smith, of the firm of Dillard &

Tingling, of Denver, aud received the
cash for them. The goods didn’t turn
np and on being notified of the facts,

knew no such man as George Johnson.

him arrested in Atlanta.
Johnson was brought to Athens by
Constable Bailey, and at once consulted
his attorney, Col. H. C. Tuck.
Mr. Johnson said that he had in good
faith sent the money on to the firms he
represented and that they simply had
not filled the orders.
He made good all the amounts claimed
by the Athens druggists, and the case
against him was dismissed.

of education, consisting of Messrs. G.
H. Yancey, G. H. Palmer, and A. L.
Hull, have reached a conclusiou as to
the charge»againBt Prof. F. M. Harper
in the case of young Walter Rose.
The committee heard evidence on both
sides of the matter and after weighing
it thoroughly came to the conclusiou
that Prof. Harper did uot choke or oth
erwise brutally treat Walter Rose.
They found that he used only such
force as was necessary to be used in on-
der to compel obedience to authority,
such ns was necessary ou that occasion.
Therefore the exoneration of Profes
sor Harper was complete so far os the

Montgomery, Ala., Oct. 19.—It was a
gloomy time last night when the hoard
of health pronounced two cases under

Toduy the streets look like Sunday,
and knots of people are standing around

no earthly chance for it to become
epidemic os it is so late in the season,

for a panic.
