Christian's Two Young Daughters In

V'
*' Athens. Ga., Jan. 27.—Wash Chris
tlan, of this city, and Walter Harde
man, of Madison county, engaged in a
shooting scrape. In which both were
shot and also two daughters o? Chris
4ia^ r^Slypd several loads of shot In
tl^plr bodies. , _ ..
, From the story of the trouble as
given by Christian, who is a horse and
rauls trader in this city, it appears that
he had some two years sines been di
vorced from his wife, taking with him
his two oldest daughters and leaving
his wife In control of the two young
er children.
4
A tew; weeks since he let the two
girls, aged 11 and 13, respectively, go
to their grandmother’s. In Madison
county, and went to get them, and
found them at Walter Hardeman's,
Just over the line of Clarke county.
Hardeman had married the divorced
wife of Christian a short while since.
. Hardeman is alleged to have said
that he would kill them before they
should return to their father’s home
In this city, and when they started to
get Into the surrey with their father,
Hardeman Is said to have made good
bis attempt upon their lives.
They started to get Into the buggy,
and Just as they did so they Cried out
to their father to. drive away quick
ly, as Hardeman was fixing to shoot
tljem. Just then he discharged his
shotgun, and the load of shot tore
through the side of the carriage, and
struck one of the girls In the side.
He shot again, and tne other girl
threw up her band to protect her face,
and caught the full load in her hand.
The gun was loaded with bird shot,
and Hardeman was at some distance,
hence the wounds were not fatal. Had
be been closer when he shot, the girls
would no doubt have been badly in*
Jared.
After Hardeman had shot the two
girls, Christian says he emptied his
pistol at him, and was also shot at.
Christian received a number of shot ia
his right arm. and Is satisfied that he
hit Hardeman when ho shot at him.
as he staggered hack Into the room. It
Is reported that Hardeman was hit In
the arm and shoulder.
Proper attention is being given the
two girls, and they will recover. The
shooting ocurred in Madison county,
just over the Clarke county line.

The reader* of this paper will, be
pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has Ireen
able to cure in all its stages, and that is
Catarrh. Hall’s Catarrh is the only posi
tive cure now known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh bt-ing a constitu
tional disease, requires a coustitptioual
treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the sys
tem, thereby destroying the foundation
of the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitutiou
and assisting untue in doing its work.
The proprietors have so much faith in
its curative powers that they offer One
Hundred Dollars for any case that it
fails to cure, bend for liyt testimonials.

which contended with the Romans for

LIFE INSURANCE.
It* Earl? strmritleft and Reverse* la
Thl* Country.
The origin of insurance in this coun
try dates from 1752 and had its first
beginning in Philadelphia.
The first company was theJPhiladel-
phia Contributionshlp For tho Insur
ance of Houses From Losses by Fire,
and its insignia was four clasped hands,
which was its house tiadge. This mark
may still be seen throughout eastern
Pennsylvania and New Jersey on old
time houses...The company survived
till 1847. In 1792 the first life insur
ance company "i*as founded In the
same city^ It was called the Universal
Tontlnei The next year similar com- 1
panics were started in Boston and In
New Yoifc. Its avowed aim .was 4 *for
the purpose ot raising a fund upon lives
to be applied to charitable and other
uses." Its subscription books were
opened oo March 29, and five general
agents were appointed.
Bom* business was done during the
summer, but In November of that year
a general meeting of the subscribers
was called, and the idea of a general
Insurance company was suggested and
met with approval The preposition
was referred to a committee, and at on
adjourned meeting held at tbft^atate*
house oo Nov. 12 It was resolved that
“the. Universal Tontine association be
and la hereby changed frpmlts original
object and converted Into a society to
be called the Insurance Company of
North America,**^ Jtg first policy wan
issued to John Mftxwen NwrbT.v?
president, for $5,333.33. It wrote both I
fire and life insurance, but paid atten
tion chiefly to the former and gradual']
ly dropped life insurance altogether.
In January. 1794, it considered tl
policy of insuring persons against cal
ture by the Algerians and Insured Cni
tain John Collet “on his person agaii
Algerians and other Barbary corsai;
in a voyage from Philadelphia to L
don in the ship George Barclay, hit
self master, valuing himself at $5,000.*
The premium charged was 2 per cent
Two similar policies were issued, b®
the premium was Increase^ to 5
cent. Two similar policies were
sued, approved, one on the life of Jc
Holker, from June 6 to Sept. 19,
$24,000, at 1V4 per cent premium, ft*
one on the Hfeof Albert Briots de Bet*
tuea, for eighteen calendar months,
the sum of $5,000. The demand
Insurance on life was light and
business, which was finally abandt
by the first company, was not rerii
until 1820, when Hartford men took
up and. kept It running tin It
