TOWN AND GOWN.
Bad Feeling Between the Students and
Villagers at Athens.

Athens, Ga. Jan. Some days since a
crowd of students were snow-balling the
citizens as they passed in front of the
campus gate. A very hard ball was
thrown hit yong man named W. l.. Hub
bard. who retaliated by using some rough
language and offensive epithets and throw
ing rocks at the students. That evening
c. H. p. Floyd Of Savannah. who was in
the crowd of students, asked Hubbard If
his remarks referred to him. Hubbard re-
piled that they did. If he was in the crowd.
Floyd then struck him and in the fight that
ensued got the best of it, THIS morning
Hubbard renewed the fight and he and
Floyd fought for about ten minutes on
Hancock avenue. Neither was hurt with
the exception of a few bruises
This evening a rumor got out that the
students were going to attack Hubbard
as he went home. A crowd of thirty town
boys accompanied Hubbard home, and it
looked as If a collision would take place.
The students, however, did not appear.
There is considerable feeling between
some of the students and town boys and
il may result In trouble. The authorities
are keeping a close watch on all.

Mr.. Mcclure says in his report that it
was found at the outset of the hearings
that they would be protraCted. and il
was then determined by the executors of
the estate to deposit with the controller
an amount. which, in their judgment.
would meet the taxes TO be paid upon the
property. The executors, therefore paid
100000 to the controller. upon the as
sumption that the personal estate would
not exceed $4,000. 600. Each of the six
children of Mr. Gould is entitled to life
estate, in trust, in one-sixth of the resi-
duary estate, with the remainder to their
children. Under a recent decision of the
court of appeals, il is held that these re-
mainders are not liable to taxation.
