How Prohibition Works In Georgia.

ATHENS, GA, July 2l.-It is now ten
days since the liquor saloous in Athens
closed their doors, and, although We have
gone through commencement, not one
arrest has been made by the police.
This Is an unprecedented record. Our
people seem well satisfied with the
change, and thus far the experiment
works like charm. The barroorns have
all turned their attention to the sale of
Notwithstanding drinks and cigars, but
their receipts are very small and will not
pay for keeping open doors. If there
have been any attempts at violating the
prohibition law, we have received no
intimation OF the fact. The city officers
are very vigilant and will use every effort
to ferret out offenders. One house is
under the ban OF suspicion, but if they
sell at all It IL to chosen few, as no
signs Of the traffic are seen upon the
streets. There are plenty of ings and
bottles kept In private rooms, but these
are fat running dry, and men who have
heretofore taken their drink regularly
are now doing without. But little liquor
is ahipped 10 Athens by express. There
are fwo bsrrooms within Eve milet OF
Athens that expect 20 do fno trade.
but thus far they have NOT received much
patronage. Prohibition has no percepti.
bic effect upon the trade Of Athens,
eithee one way or the other. But the
beat sign - d disposition Of that band OF
negro loateTs who bIockaded jackson
strest, being attracted by whiskey ard
billiards. They have either gone TO
work Or sought other fields. Our liquos
dealers are ail huntiag mp other busi1ess.
They will either move the remnants, OF
their stocks 20 wet counties or engage Ia
another aYocstion In Athcns. They
eccert the result like good citizens, and
express 9 liberalization 70 obey the law.

WORSE AND WORSE.

The Recent English Colliery Disaster
Worse In Its Loss Of Life Than at First
Reported.
LONDON, June 22.-The disaster in the
Pendlebuy colliery, near Manchester,
proves to have been even more terrible
than was at first reported. The number
of miners now known to have been killed
is 1863, and many more are still unac-
counted for. This disaster and the re-
cent one at the Philadelphis colliery, near
Durham, are more than usually severe ID
the hardships they indict on the
survivors, on account OF the pre-
yailing poverty caused by scarcity
of work for several months through
out the coal and iron country. Tho
golfers families have already Teen
pinched to the verge OF despair, but
there is greater misery ahead for many.
The number of wage-earners now killed
represents tully 500 widows and orphans.
Not one In tifty has shilling saved, their
ueighboks are equally poor, and zoe loss
of husband sud father Ieeves TO many OF
them only the alternative between star

A DEAD HERMIT.

Singular Exclusiveness of Sumner Hart
weIl-Living a Century Behind His Age
In the Midst of Modern Civilization.
BOSTON, MASS, June 23-Sumner
Hartwell, the octogenarian hermit Of
Shirley, is dead. He lived and died In
the room where he was born. He passed
half his life in locality where he could
hear the locomotive whistle daily, yet he
never rode on train of cars and knew
not the appearance of the inside of an or
dinary freight caboose. He had no idea
of the nature of the telegraph instrument
and had tailed to gaze upon the tele-
phone transmitter. Horse cars would
have been as strange to him as they would
have been to the North American Indian
in 1887. OF the several towns near Shir-
ley, he had visited only two. Tne city OF
Fitchburg, two miles away, he knew no
more about than he did OF Herat. From
the hilltop where he passed his days can
plainly be seen the church spires in
Lunenberg, three miles away, yet Sum-
ner Hartwell knew as much about Con-
stantinople as he did Of Lunenberg, He
had been to Townsend Harbor, an
adjacent village, and had paid
visits to a grist-mill on the edge
of Groton, but at that point be
WOULD NOT ALIGHT FROM HIS TEAM.
Neither curiosity nor desire for infor.
nation had ever prompted him to learn
in Just what manner his corn was turned
into meal. Hartwell never saw circus,
never attended county cattle show,
never heard of a thousand matters ia
miliar to every school-boy in the land.
For forty years he had not attended
church, but he made the request that
when he died the bell upon the Unitarian
Church be tolled, and it was. Politi-
cally, this odd fellow was Republican,,
but he did not follow closely the political
world. He voted for Blaine last year,
but he did not tarry at the polls. Disap-
pointment In love is popularity supposed
to have caused him to seclude himself
from the world, but nothing definite on
this point is known.

QUITE A JAM.

4 Specimen jam In the Maine Lumber Re-
gions-Fourtesn Million Logs Wedged In
to tho Kennebec Rivera Dynamite
Start and an Imposing Drive.
AUGUSTA, ME-, June 22.-Efforts to
break an immense jam of logs on the
Kennebec have afforded excitement for a
few days to people along the river above
Fairfield. A great drive came out of the
east branch of the Kennebec about ten
days ago. When two miles below Indian
Pond dam, the logs began to form jam
on the bend of the river where the banks
are nearly one hundred feet high. 1t was
not long before 10000, 900 logs were
hung up In great blockade.
The. drivers in charge hoisted the
gates at Indian Pond dam, and with a
head of eight feet of water tried to force
the jam through. The sudden rush of
water broke the boom Just above the jam
and let down 1000, 900 more logs upon
the pile, but without forcing the block
ade. The gates at the dam were then
closed to raise another head Of water.
Other logs accumulated until an
immense pile half mile long
and tossed high in the air, COM
pletely hid the river from sight. Lum-
bermen climbed out to the head of the
jam and deposited q large quantity OF
dynamite which was connected by wire
with battery on shore. Early Satur
day morning sufficient quantity of water
had accumulated. The gates at the dam
were opened and head of ten feet sud-
denly poured down through the valley.
The great pile of logs
CREAKED AND TWISTED,
but did not start until an electric button
on shore was touched. There was
tremendous explosion. Logs few high
in the air and sudden shower of spln-
ters fell for acres around. The jam
started en- masse down the valley. There
was strange crashing and rumbling that
grew into q roar as the immense body
gathered speed. The current runs at six
teen miles an hour for long distance
below where the blockade occurred and
the logs, moving as solid body, gained
nearly that speed. 1t was strange sight.
No water was to be seen, and the
great black avalanche rushing through
the valley with an unearthiy roar present.
ed spectacle which those who witnessed
will long remember. Lumber men say
there were fully 100000 logs in the
drive as it finally swept down stream.
After the mass got in motion it stretched
out so that its height above the water was
about twenty feet, many of the logs riding
down in an upright position. Many logs
caught upon rocks and projections, and
were broken or ground to pieces.
