New York, Oct. 20.—The letter of
Robert A. Van Wyck, Tammany candi
date for mayor, accepting the nomina
tion, was given out last night.
It discusses municipal affairs solely.
A large ]xirt of t he letter arraigns the
present administration for extravagance
and calls attention to the discomforts
the people are enduring through "delay
in street improvements now in progress.
Mr. Van Wyck then takes up the city's
alleged grievances against, the state leg
islature, saying: -
‘‘The flagrant violations of the princi
ples of home rale, by the republican ma
jorities in recent legislatures, have
challenged the attention and excited the
indignation of our citizens. The usur
pations of the rights of our mnuieipality
and its people has become such an intol
erable wrong that it cannot be too
strongly rebuked. A cosmopolitan con
stituency exceeding the population of
the United States at the time of the
adoption of tiff, federal constitution
sh all,! not be required to protest against
such interference with the purely do
mestic concerns as attempts to dictate
even in its harnili-ss customs, habits and
pursuits. And yet again and again we
have been subject to legislation conceived
either in ignorance of or contempt for the
wishes and sentiments of our people and
enacted as a revenge upon- our politics or
ait assault upon our revenues.”
Judge Van Wyck condemns the
Raines liquor law and favors its prompt
repeal. He favors the enactment of an
excise law, conservative of' the public
morals and liberal in its provisions that
shall place its administration and reve
nues so far us shall apply to the city
within the control of the municipality.
Mr. Van Wyck pledges himself to
favor increase of school houses, the es
tablishment of a rapid transit system,
more bridges across East river, more
parks, better docks, $1 gas and enforce
ment of the eight-hour law.

“Who’s Yonr Friend?”
Tlie sixth trial of the case of the State
vs. Jesse J. Whitehead is now on.
Five trials in Oconee county exhaus
ted the venire of jurors in that county
and cost over seven thousand dollars.
Now the sixth trial is iu progress in
this county and Oconee county will have
to foot th<' bill.
This case started iu 1890 when Dr. E.
G. Ware was shot from ambush as he
was returning home. Whitehead was
indict,si and found guilty. Then came
new trials and mistrials and the case
htis had maiiy queer turns.
There are now two negroes in jail
cliarg.sl with perjury, arising from their
testimony at one of the triaLs.
finite a large number of Oconee
county jssiple were in Athens yesterday,
and the*court house was well-filled
when Judge Hntcliius called tlie case.
Judge _J. B. Estes, Judge B. E.
Thrasher, Col: H. C. Tuck, and Col. H.
S. West, representing the defendant,
announced ready. Then Solicitor-
General Brand, Col. E. T. Brown and
Judge George C. Thomas, representing
the state announced ready.
Tin- striking of the jury took up but a
few minutes, the following jurors being
sworn :
W. E. Reynolds.
J. D. Smith.
K. J. Williams.
C. W. Is,we.
R. T. Barnett.
W. II. P. Johnson.
W. H. Kytle.
B. H. Kinnebrew.
M. H. Sheppard.
.T. L. Daniel.
W. H. Wier.
J. H. Hancock.
Solicitor-General Brand read the in
dictment and outlined the State's case,
after which the introduction of wit nesses
began.
Whitehead’s wife and daughter sat at
his side during the progress of the trial.
The defendant seemed cool and uncon
cerned.
The Prosecutor's Testimony.
Dr. E. G. Ware, presecutor, sworn,
said : That he was shot ou 29th of May,
1890, about sundown. Had been to Ath
ens that day and was going home by
Burnt Factory and Monroe road. Had
gone to Athens by same route. White
head lived on this road. Was shot oue-
lialf mile beyond Whitehead’s house.
Passed Whitehead’s house coming to
Athens and didn’t see Whitehead there.
At the bottom of a little hill On right
hand side of the road was a dense cluster
of bushes and vines—a perfect ambush.
Before reaching ambush he saw a negro,
Bob Griffith, ou top of the hill. The
negro had been mad with witness, and
laughed out loud at him ; made him mad
aud he reached dowu to get pistol out of
buggy, but didn’t. At the bottom of
hill in front of ambush witness heard
report of a gun—thought he heard
double report. The horses jumped to
the left. The increased .speed threw
witness back. Tried to -get- pistol, but
•ouldn’t. •
The Description of the Shooting.
Dr. Ware iu describing the actual
shooting, said:
I found I couldn’t control my horses.
I saw blood and began to cry murder!
murder! About 300 yards from bushes
I caught the reins ill month. When
nearly home I called Mr. Malcolm to get
him to stop the horses. He ran out and
headed off the horses. Then some of my
hands come'and drove me home. I was
laid up till latter part of June. Just
after I was shot I heard Whitehead say
to some one, ‘God damn hint, did we
get him?’
I was shot with a shotgun loaded
with buckshot. I have known White-
head since 1871. Whitehead went to
school to me once. I am familiar with
his voice and able to swear positively
that it wtts his. Whitehead had been
very bitter to me for some time and had
threatened to kill me.”
Judge J. B. Estes conducted the cross
examination, during which Ware testi
fied as follows:
Admitted having difficulty with
Whitehead iu October previous about
some cotton seed. Whitehead got mad
because witness wouldn’t gin ‘.‘dog tail”
cotton with clean cotton. Witness ^de-
nied having refused Whitehead the use
of his wagon. Denied having met Mar
tin Payne ou road. Denied having told
Mr. Malcolm he didn’t know who shot
him. Didn’t tell sheriff he recognized
Whitehead’s voice. Sent for Squire
Jackson, but. Squire didn’t, issue any
warrant. Sent for Drs. • Steedly and
Garithers. both dead now. Told them
he knew who shot him. Never told
Haygood he didn’t remember anything
after he was shot.
When court convened in the after
noon Mr. J. H. Spratlin was put on the
stand. He testified that he heard White-
head make threats against Ware. At
Mitchell’s Hill bridge saw Whitehead
with a gun. Whitehead said to wit
ness “What do yon reckon J am going
to do with this gun?” Witness said:
I don't know, hunt I suppose.” “No,”
said he. “I bought this gup to kill Lish
Ware with. I am going to kill him if I
have to waylay him.”
On cross-examination stated that this
occurred iu August or September, 1889.
Said that he, his sou, Pat Jonas and his
son were there. Witness told White-
head he oughn’t to say such things.
Never told Ware about the conversation
until-after he was shot. .
Whitehead eame to witness after
wards, cursed him and said: “I made
Pat Jonas say he Red, and I’m going to
make yon do the same.” Witness told
him he didn’t want to testify against,
him, but if he did he would tell the
truth.
Witness went away to keep from tes
tifying against Whitehead. First testi
fied in the case at the last trial in Wat-
kiusville.
Bud McGaughey, sworn, said that he
had heard Whitehead make threats
against Dr. Ware. Witness went to
Mr. Ridgeway’s ou business. In the
stiUhonse there saw Whitehead, wlo
asked him : “What kind of *a man is
this fellow Ware?” Witness told him
he bud gone to school to him, and had
nothing against him. Whitehead then
said : “I have, and if I get a pop at the
damn rascal I’ll put an end to-him.”
W. H. Spratliiig sworn, said that he
was the sou of J. A. Sprutling, was
present at Mitchell’s Hill bridge aud
heard Whitehead say : “I have bought
this gun to kill Lish Ware, aud I’m go
ing to do it if it takes five years.”
Ou cross-examination said that besides
himself, liis father, Pat Jonas and son
were present. Said he never told this
till he went to court. \Vituess ran
away to Wilkes county once to escape
subpoena.
Mr. W. H. Gordon testified that he
went to Whitehead's on 2nd Sunday iu
Feb., 1890. Whitehead told him some
one laid popped a cap around his brother
Charles’ house and that if he come there
again he was going to kill him, whether
he was a negro or Lish Ware. Witness
said Whitehead showed him pistol and
cartridges. After trial at Watkinsville,
in hall of court house, Whitehead said
to witness: ‘.‘I had. rather paid your
flue for telling a lie, you’ve ruined me.”
On cross examination witness would
not s\\ ear positively as to the exact
words oi Whitehead.
Mr. T. W. Powell-swore that he ar
rived at the ambush about 12 o’clock on
the day after the shooting occurred;
that the ambush was iu a hollow be
tween two hills. ~ The dirt was wet
from the rain of the day previous, and
the tracks were easily discernible. Wit 1
ness followed tracks to Whitehead’s
field. Had experience iu tracking peo
ple from working convicts ten years. A
rigid cross examination failed to alter
his testimony in any important particu
lar.
Mr.’ W. P. Price testified that he was
on the scene of the shooting about noon
of the day after the occurrence. He
looked for tracks; found them leading
only one way. Also found stopper to
powder flask of the same kind of paper
as the wadding of the gun. Didn’t see
either of the Whiteheads at the ambush
that day.
Ou cross examination witness said
Ware told him he knew who had shot
him, but never gave any names.
Mr. G. W. Noiris of Oconee county,
sworn, said: That one day he came to
town and went back in the buggy with
Mr. Whitehead'. Whitehead told him
Ware had gotten next to him in a cotton
seed deal, and that he lutd set a trap for
him, and wonld get even with him.
Witness swore he . had never told this
before, because he was afraid of White-
head.
Mr. J. T. Pittard, said he was at
Ware’s three days after the shooting.
Ware told him he knew who had shot
him.
Mr. W. E. Ware, consin of the prose
cutor, said he was at the ambush next
day and followed the tracks to White
head's field.
Ou cross examinatiou admitted having
seen a man of about defendant’s size
ploughing- in the field. Did uot know
Whitehead.
Bill Smith, (col) convict, now serving
sentence at Sniithouia for hog stealing,
was nuxt introduced. Witness said he
knew Whitehead. Whitehead came to
him several times to make > trade, "to
sign a paper that he might get
new trial. Witness refused. A week
afterwards Whitehead came again and
renewed his request. Witness again
refused, but after having been given
several drams, told him he’d sign any’
thing, said he wonld pay witness #125.
Wanted witness to meet him on Wat
kinsville road. Charlie Whitehead came
to see witness, filled him with liquor,
and when drunk, witness signed paper
To best of witness’ recollection tie
contents of that paper were to the effect
that witness was there in the neighboi
hood of crime on his way to see Bob'
Griffeth.that he met a man coming from
the 'ambush who said “I’ve just-killed
Ware.” Smith swore he didn’t know
anything about the shooting, and signed
papqr while drank. At 5 o’clock the
State rested.
Counsel for defence asked for time to
confer with one another, whereupon
court adjourned until this morning.

TATUM WAS NOT DRINKING.
False Report Put Out as to His Condition Before
He Met His Death.
Ill giving an account of the tragic
death of Mr. M. A. B. Tatum, the At
lanta Journal published a statement,
attributed to some informant- in railroad
circles, that the deceased was under the
influence of whisky at the time of his
death.
Justice to the memory of the dead
man leads The Banner to make a cor
rection of such a statement. The
evidence of all the railroad men, aud of
all the passengers who saw him before
he took the fatal Step off the bridge was
to the effect that he was sober and that
nothing nnnsual was apparent in his
teQndfW^|^ '
Deputyu. S. Collector B. F. Carter
said yesterday: “I have known Mr.
Tatum eight years, have known him in
timately, and no one can tell the truth
and say that he ever got under the in
fluence of liquor. I have been with
him often amThave never knowu him
to take a drink of whiskey, but have
often known him to refuse.”
The remains of Mr. Tatum were car
ried to Trenton, Ga., yesterday morning

Court House Removal.
MOVEMENT PROGRESSES.
Tbo a rand Jury Will Probably Appoint a Com
mittee to Further Confer With the City
Council and rtake a Full Report
Next April.
The committee of the city council nu t
with the grand jury committee yester
day morning for the purpose of discuss
ing the proposition to move tlie court
house dowu town and use the present
court house for school purposes.
Messrs. A. H. Hodgson, T. P. Vin
cent and W. A. McDowell represented
the grand jury and Messrs. J. F. Rhqdes,
J. F. Foster aud D. C. Barrow repre
sented the city council.
The entire committee favored the pro
posed exchange of .properties, aud were
satisfied that such a change would be
very beneficial.
The only hitch in the way is that of
patting the matter in more definite
shape, so that the people of Clarke coun
ty and the people of Athens may see
everything clearly aud 'understand the
proposition in every detail.
The general opinion is that the county
should retain the jail audjtheriff’s house,
aud thus would be relieved of the extra
cost of building a new jail and sheriff’s
house.
It is thought that for #40,000 a thor
oughly convenient aud suitable court
house aud city hall can lie built ou the
city lot ou college avenue.
Tlie grand jury will in till probability
appoint a committee to confer with the
city council obtain all necessary data as
to the proposed transfer of properties
aud report hack to the grand jury next
April at which time definite action will
be taken.

for sale to his patrons. He has made a
specialty of this business for years, and
knows an excellent piano when he sees
it.
He is sole agent here for the celebrat
ed Fischer pianos, aud has sold quite a
number iu this city. He now has at his
.music store on Clayton street a piano
that he is anxious for every lady in Ath

It is simply a beauty iii every respect.
It is a Fischer piano, a “Cabinet
Grand.” aud is one of the loveliest ever
seen here. It is of the finest maliogony
and is exquisitely carved and adorned.
It possesses all of the qualities that go
towards making a piano a joy forever in
a household.
Such a piano as this has rarely, if
ever, been seen In Athens. Whether
one has a good piano or not, it is well

R. E. Graham, one of the most pope
lar comedians with our theatre-goers

ols have surrounded Mr. Graham with a
remarkably strong cast of well known
artists each and every one of whom are
especially adapted to the parts assigned
to them. “Who’s Your'Friend?” is a
legitimate comedy, fn|l of startling sur
prises and laughable situations, and does
not depend upon specialties or horse
play to fill in time, and it is expected
that the play will be greeted with roars
of laughter from the rise to the fall of
the curtain.'.
An Army of Bandits Slaughter Chinese Inhabi
tants.
_ Tacoma, Wy., Oct. 20.—The city of
Knang Yang, in Hunan province, has
been captured, and its . inhabitants
massacred, by a hand of rebels forming
part of a rebel army which is devastat
ing Hunan and Knang province, in
Southern China. Ou the 27tli of Au
gust the bandits sealed the walls of
Kuang Yang, with the intention of
capturing the provincial prison aud re
leasing three of their members confined
therein.
One band tore down the prison, set-
ling free several hundred murderers,
and thieves, aud imprisoned debtors.
Another gang attacked the" central
part of the city, first murdering the
magistrate who had sent the three ban
dits to prison. His entire family num
bering thirty-two, including servants,
were killed. The night was spent iu
slaying and plandering all mandarins,
and every civil and military officer in
the city was beaten. The number killed
and injured exceed 14,000.
The insurgents numbered 15,000 men
—half of them armed. They avowed
their purpose to destroy the existing
government in China. The government
is greatly alarmed, but has no adequate
means of suppressing the insurrectiou.
Those who believe clirouic diarrhoea
to be incurable should read what Mr. P.
E. Grisham, of Ga&rs Mills, La., has to
say on the subject, viz.: “I have been
a sufferer from chronic diarrhoea over
since the war aud have tried’all kinds of
medicines for it. At last I found a
remedy that effected a cure and that
was Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera aud
Diarrhoea Remedy.” This medicine
can always be depended upon for colic,
cholera morbus, dysentery and .diar
rhoea. It is pleasant to take and never
fails to effect a cure. 25 and 50 cent
