The sad intelligence was re
ceived in the city Monday after.
noon that Judge Jno. T, Clarke
had been run over and killed at
Smithville by the passenger train
that Is due in Dawson at 2 o'clck.
From the most authentic ac>
count Of the accident it seems that
Judge Clarke had left home the
same day for Macon, where he was
to hold court. At Smithvijle he
recognized a lady friend on the west
bound train and went over to
speak to her. He remained too
long, and in attempting to jump,
while the train was in molten, fell
between the trucks, the wheels of
the train running over him and
severing his head entirely from his
body.
His remains were carried home
on the train that killed him.
Nothing could have so thorough<
ly shocked and aroused the sym>
patty Of our peopleas this calamity
"a calamity alike to this section
and the state. Judge Clarke was
enc OF the most eminent men ami
grandest minds in Georgia, and
his loss will be sorely telt During

After the match game ofball on

mere than twenty-five yards in a
hundred yards race.
GRIGGs DEFEATED.
Several drummers who witness
ed the race set about to find man
to defeat Griggs in a run.
Knowing that Eugene Doughty,
a Macon drummer, had been in
trainging at Cumberland, so We
are 'oid, for a month or m1le, he
was seut for and reached Dawson
on Thursday, The drummers said
that Doughty had not beenon the

very sore FROM the game Of ball
and the race OF the day before,
Griggs accep cd these statements
as true. AMI agreed to make the
race. In a one hundred yards run
Doughty came out about two feet

Helpful Hints.

Paper bags, in which many articles are
sent from the grocers, should be saved for
use when blacking stove. You can slip the
hand into one of these, and handle the brush
just as well, and the hands will not be soiled,
and when through with them they can be
dropped into the stove.
A very convenient way to poison rats and
mice is to mix arsenic with melted tallow
and cool it into a cake. Have the tallow
merely melted, not hot, when the arsenic is
put in.
According to Miss Parloa, soda should al
ways be dissolved in cold liquid, preferably
water, because dissolving it in hot water
causes an etfervescence, and the immediate
liberation of the carbolic acid gas. Dissolv-
ing in cold water preserves all OF its Tighten
ing" power.

Because Alderman Bolton Enjoins
Their Sale.
According to previous agreement of
the opposition and in pursuance of
his policy expressed in the meetings
of the city council, Alderman Bolton
this morning applied for and was
granted an injunction from the dis
trict court restraining the city from
selling the $500, 900 bonds that were
to have been sold this morning. Mr..
Bolton takes the stand that the city
did not vote for 10 per cent. interest
bearing bonds, but for 2 per cent. in
terest bonds.
City Attorney Bergstrom informs
the reporter this morning that the
city will meet the injunction half
way, and he is now getting ready his
papers preparatory to applying to the
district court to dissolve the injunc-
ton. If the injunction comes up next
week and is dissolved, he says, the
bonds can then be sold and the public
improvements contemplated will not
be delayed.
