Routkrra Life laturaaee Company.
General Colquitt, the Vice President of the Atlanta
Branch of this company, has just returned from
Charleston, where, in company with General Gordon,
be succeeded in organizing a large board of policy
holders, consisting of seventy-aix ot Charleston’i
citizens. We notice representatives of every class
Among the lawyers era such names as, W. D. Porter,
Samuel Lord, Jr., Isaac Hayae, C. Richardson Miles,
and M. P. O’Connor; among the merchants and bro
kers, such as Louis D. DeSaussnre, The*. D. Wsguer,
John Harckel, B. F. Huger, W. A. Courtney, J. Reid
Boyluton, and others, who are well known to tbe citi
zens of Charleston and the people of tbe State.
The Executive Committee consists of Samuel Y
Tupper, President; Wm. D. Porter, Vice-President;
Eben Coffin, Secretary; J. Richardson Miles, Attorney;
Henry Gourdon, Charles O. White, Louis D. DeSaus-
suss, J. Reid Boylaton. H. H. DeLeon, Theo. D. Jervey.
The fact that such gentlemen as compose this Com
mittee hare accepted the trust la tbe best seen ranee
that can be given to the polity holders who knew them
that this Pioneer Southern Company is fully entitled
to confidence sun patronage. This Company in
(ha most ranceroua opposition and uljuml assaults
from partisan Life Insurmuce journals baa gone or
iug as no other Southern Company ever did,
iw4t has accumulated over one and a halt mil
lion of assets and has an income of more than a rail
bon of dollars. Gen. Colquitt has recently
been directing his active energies to the
advancement of this great Southern enter prise. Here
where he le known it is needless to apeak of hia char
acter or ability. Ho is sarong the moat warmly loved
of Georgia’s sous, and hia r patation for honesty and
uprightness has no etain. The Southern Life in the
past has outstripped all competition, and from the
success which has attended General Colquitt’s efforts
in Charleston, we feel assured that henceforth it will
have no rival in South Carolina.

Fulton Superior Court.
HON. JNO L. HOPKINS, JUDOE PRESIDING.
E. J. Maahburn was excused from further service as
a Petit Juror. The jury was completed in the case of
tue State vs. Mrs Parser, who is charged with arson.
The following is a list of the jury: J. K. P. Lord,
Daniel Morgan, G. R. Dudley, E. Block, A. O. McGay,
J. B. Simmons, Young Garrett, W. H. Giossup, J.
Wsrlick, H. H. Witt. George F. Glasner, Thomas
Scrutchina.
The State proved toy M. M. White, \V. L. Joues and
W. A. Bonnell, policemen, that on the night of the
alleged arson at about one o’clock, the store house
of John R. Parker, defendant’s husband, was discov
ered to toe on Are. Ibey tried to enter It but found it
locked. Forced door of dwelling house open; found
defendant inside; furniture etc., almost all removed
from dwelling to various out houses which were
locked; fouud lighted pine burning between plat tar
ing and weatherboarding. Defendant said when told
that the house waa set on fire “do not implicate my
husband, I will bear all the blame.” The houses were
insured at an excessive valuation. Other witnesses
proved about insurance and valuation. Houses situat
ed within this city and county. The State closed at
five minutes to four o’clock.
The defense introduced Mr. Evans, a livery stable
man of Marietta, who testified that the day before the
burning at nightt John R. Parker came to hia
stable and hired a horse to go to Mr. Harding’s, near
Powder Springs; left in that direction; returned next
day; eaw accounts in Atlanta papers of tbe burning;
said he was ruined; saw that he was accused of burn
ing hia house and took witness’ address. Mr. Hardy
testified that at sunset of the evening that the house
waa burned at night J. R. Parker was at his son’s near
Powder Springs in Cobb county: saw him there lata at
night and early next morning; neither witness nor
hia ton is related to Mr. Paiker; don't known what
business Parker bad with my eou.
James Hardy testified that he lives cue and a half
miles from Powder Springs, twenty milea from At
lanta, thirteen miles from Marietta. My wile ia Mrs.
Parker’s niece; J. R. Parker came to my house the
evening of the fire; rode horseback; we sat up till nine
or ten o'clock; we went to bed together at that time; he
in bed when .1 woke at daylight next morning;
took breakfast with me; don’t think he could have left
during tbe night without my knowing it; left my
house between seven and eight o’clock, atying be waa
going to Powder Springs; he caine over there to g< t
up butter, eggs and chickens.
Benjamin Hardy, Jr—Knows J. K. Parker; saw him
at brothers night of evening; saw him at two or three
o’clock in evening and at niue o’clock at night; saw
him in the garden about sun rise next morning; left
between seven and eight o’clock in direction of Pow
der Springe.
Mr. House, blacksmith—Married; live at Powder
Springs; saw Mr. Parker Tuesday, third of June, at
my shop about two o’clock; left in direction of Mr.
Hardy'*; coxae back to my shop next morning at eight
nino o'clock; left in direction of Marietta; am not
related to defendants.
J. A. Tnttle, carpenter, knows defendants; where
they live; Parker’s dwelling waa put up three or four
years ago; not much variance in price of building ma
terial then and now; have seen the houses; houses
would cost $800 or $850 dollars; this includes store
house.
P. M. Parks, Mrs. Parker aud my wife are sis’.era,
Mrs. Little is also her slater; know the houses that
were burned; went into a detailed description of the
houses, style of buildiDg, etc. (The insurance poli
cies show that the houses, furniture aud wearing ap
parel were insured for $1,200.
The defense sre relying ou an alibi in the case
against John R. Parker. What their line of defense
will be in the case now on trial i« not so clear, bat as
the evidence against Mrs. Parker is purely circum
stantial, the probability is that she will be acqnited.
Great interest is manifested in the progress of the
case, as the crime charged is one rarely committed
thesa parts. TBe case will perhaps occupy all this
morning.

As is well knowu to onr readers, laham Belton
O'Neal, of this city, was sentenced to be hung on the
13th of Jo oe, to day, iu the Fulton county jail yard,
for the
MUHDED OF MR. LITTLE
some year ago. Very great excitement lias beeu de
veloped In the case lately, aud ou yesterday at eleven
o'clock, a petition, very numerously signed, some
written statements from O’Neal himself, some argu
ments from the lawyers, and some additional testi
mony in the case, waa presented to Governor Smith
by the prisoner's wife, and mother, and father, sad
Messrs. Spencer and Westmoreland, attorneys for the
prisoner, and a
COMMUTATION OK RESPITE ASKED FOR.
The interview between this afflicted family, their
big-hearted counsel aud the Governor ia said to have
been very affecting. The Governor waa affected to
tears, and Col. Spencer came out of the room crying.
The father, motner and wife begged piteously for
time, stating that they could show up new evidence.
The Governor took the papers presented, promising to
give them a careful and just review, and, if there was
anything to justify it, to commute tbe seitence or
grant a respite, aod
DISMISSED TBE SUPPLIANT*.
Late yesterday evening a Herald reporter getting
a pass from Hon. Dan Pittman, called at the jail to
O'Neal. He found the yard full of spectators,
lounging aronud, seme on business, but the most
on curiosity. We were courteously met by Capt. Wiap,
the jailor, and invited in. We found Mr. Dickey,
Mr. Pattillo, Mr. Edens, and one or two other ministers
on the ground, earnestly working to save the poor
soul. On the knees of each gentleman’s pants
were great splotches of dust, telling plainly of
THE GREAT 8TRUGGLE THEY HAD MADE
for the mastery over O’Neal’s passion, and worldliness.
In an interview with Mr. Pztillo we found that there
was very little hope that he was as yet
state to meet his Maker. Said ibis
worthy gealleman : “He told me to-day that he
not prepared to die—-but that for the past six
weeks he had been praying all the time, and reading
the Bible a great deal; that in one day and night he
read the Gospel of Matthew through, and, waa beginning
to realize something of the scheme of salvation, and
on one or two occasions had thought he was blest. I
am afraid though he is not exactly in the right state
for the great event of to-morrow. ”
Reporter—“Mr. EdenB, have you anything to say
that will give us additional light on this subject ?”
Rev. Mr. Edena—“I have just left him, and am afraid
that he is noi fully changed nnto Christ yet, though
he is vory ranch melted, and very much softened.
He has been intense all day, and says that sometimes
he thinks he will be saved. One reason for this is
that about two weeks ago be gave up all malice towards
all his enemies; ceased to feel vindictive towards
them, and would not to-day
HURT A IIAIR OE T1IE1R HEADS.
He had hitherto been very bitter toward them. The
truth is the poor fellow can hardly compass the
scheme of religion, as he never thought of it at all
before. He says to me to-day: “It is so strange to
I hope for tbe best though. His mind is in a
good state.” And thus these big hearted preachers
strove and struggled with this poor murderer, no
where illustrating their profession more grandly than
in thi* poor fellow's cell, telling the story of redemp
tion to him as tenderly and as earnestly aa if he were
a king upon hia throne.
1 he reporter then went to ask O’Neal if he would
LIKE TO BEE A HERALD RETP.ESENTATIVE,
and he replied that he would be very much pleased.
Tha iron bars were throwu back,the giated door swung
hoarse and reluctant upon it shinges, and we en
tered the murderer’s cell. Crouching af«r off in the
corner was a massive, bn ad shouldered, well knit
man, clad in heavy boots, with light cassimere pants
stuffed down in them, a light vest, and checked shirt.
A heavy wool hat was thrown back from off a broad
uuwrinkled brew. With
A QUICK AND CROUCniNG STEP
he met us at the door, and gave us his hand.
I am glad to see you,” he said, and then apologeti
cally, “I am very aorry that I have no texts to offer
you.”
Tbe cell had in it simply a pallet, on which tbe
prisoner could stretch himself. Not another thing,
movable or Immovable. The prisoner bad a chew cf
tobacco in his mouth, and a tooth-pick and a little
twelve inch wooden rnle in his pockets, both of which
he was continually handling rather nervously. Said
he.
“THE HERALD HAM BEEN VERY FRIENDLY
to me, and I am glad to see you. Yonr'e is tbe only
paper that wouid publish my statement, and I am
very thankful to you. Have yon heard anything from
the Governor in relation to hia action on my case?
Reporter—Nothing at all definite, except that be
says yon shan’t be hung, until he baa carefully exam
ined the papers submitted to him, which will probably
take him till morning.
O’Neal—Well, all I ask is justice. I do believe that
if I could get a new trial, I could prove myself clear,
easily; there ia a man named Kennedy that can clear
me; some in New Orleans that I will hear from to
night, that can giv«5 very important testimony. |
quiet and detailed manner O’Neal then
gave us his version of the killing,
which is so nearly exactly like his statement published
here some weeks ago, that we do not fee 1 it necessary
to reproduce it.] When he bad concluded, he says,
“And that is
THE TRUTH 5IO HELP ME GOP.”
Reporter—Do you intend to die to-morrow. If yon
must die, with that statement on your lips? Is that
your final determination ?
O’Neal, looking up quickly and firmly—Yea, sir,
that is tbe truth, and I am not afraid to die with it.
I killed Little in self defense, because I thovght he
wccld kill me if he conld. I did not intend at first to
kill him.
Reporter—Have you e\er had any serious difficulties
before this one ?
O'Neal—Yes, sir, one only. That was in 1462. 1
was then staying with Mr. Whorton, an old co&fec
tioner here that yon may hava known. He sold
chaeae, and we had a very long cheese knife which
was very dull, and be told me to go up to tbe State
Road shop to get it ground. While on my way back
I bad
THE KNIFE STUCK IN MY BREECHES,
and met somo six or seven hoys. They commenced
attacking me with rocks, etc., trying to run me
wouldn't run, but charged them. I was struck five or
aix times in the head with rocks before I ccnld get to
any of them. Yon can see the scars here, and push
ing a mass of heavy black hair, he allowed us several
ugly scars. At last I caught one of them. He had
big rock in his hand, and commenced beating me oveT
the head with it, when 1 drew my knife and ent him
once or twice from the lower part of his belly np
across his side. Some gentlemen then came np and
parted ns, bat I whipped the whole crowd out. And
hit face lighted np with a half smile as he stretched
hia brawny anus backwards and forwards yearningly,
In bis narrow cell. For several days they thought
the fellow would die, bnt he got over it.
HIS ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE.

l‘UCrsUTI(»a agiikst suicide.
From tha jailsr wa laaraod that through rcmaika
dropped by some of O’Ncxl’s follow prisoners, it was
feared that ho would attempt to commit suicide,
when he found that he must necessarily be hung.
Consequently fie wm to-day taken oat of his old cell,
and put In a new *®ue, where there was no
possible means for him to perform this
desperate set. The utmost caution was preserved, and
even two small biscuits that his wife brought him were
excluded as being the possible means of something of
this kind. We believe these apprehensions were
wholly unfounded. At about dark we left tlie jail,
leaving for the Governor’s office to hear the result of
his deliberation.
Tlxc (-allows.
Through the kindness of the officials wo were then
allowed to visit the gallows which is situated in tho
southeast corner of the jail yard. It was just being
completed wben we reached the spot. Two upright
beams twelve feet high are let into two sills lying on
tha ground, aud surmounted by a transverse beam
running from cse to the other. In the center of this
beam there is an auger hole one inch iu diameter,
through which the rope is to pass. Six feet from the
ground are two crocs-bars ou which the platform is
fastened by means of hinges attached to eaci'.
The platform is composed of two pieces coming nearly
together in the center of the scaffold. Here they are
supported by the triggers, which are exactly like trap
triggers, only much larger. When the triggers are
sprung the platform will immediately drop, each leaf
falling on one side and leaving the victim suspended
in tbe air. Besides this drop there ia ail additional
platform laid across the same lateral bars, intended
for the Sheriff, ministers, 4c. This will be removed
before the execution. Tho whole structure is neatly
and substantially built.
In the jail yard we noticed a large bull-dog, which is
kept chained in the daytime but is loosed at night.

and he always txpreaeed tha hope and belief that
Smith would respite him.

and says, “Com# down again to-night and ace ms.”

Kciult of (be Application for Commuta
tion.
At eleven o'clack last night a Herald reporter called
at the Executive Department aud found the Governor
closeted with his private Secretary, Colonel P.W. Alex
ander, in consultation about the case. After waiting
in the ante-room a considerable length of time they
came out looking like they were very much fatigued
and the Governor looking 6adly as though he felt the
heavy responsibility resting upon him.
His decision on tbe application is best expressed in
the language of his letter to O’Neal’s counsel of which
the following is an exact copy.

A sense of duty to the public constrains me to
decline to grant tbe application. Tho affidavit
of witnesses submitted to me in support of
the application, are not sufficient, iu my opinion, to
warrant the belief that the testimony therein con
tained would have led to a different verdict If it had
been laid before the jury upon the trial of the pris-
•. The interest of society requires that tLe laws
enacted for the protection of the people against crime,
should be enforced with promptness and
certainty, and that the Executive should
interpose only in cases where it is made clearly to
appear that the cau*e of public justice
will be advanced and not defeated by sneb interfer-
i. This letter Is addressed to you as the Attorneys
of O’Neal and I respectfully request that you commu
nicate its contents to him without delay.
• Yours respectfully,
James M. Smith.
Thus was closed the last possible hope. Nothing
can dow save Belton O’Neal, and to-day’s suu is the
last that will ever riso upon his mortal body.
To-day at between eleven and three o’clock he will
be hnng by the neck nntil he is dead.
Well, it may be the best after all. But whatsoever
onr sense of retributive justice may briug us to think
of O’Neal himself, there is and can be nothing but
genuine heart-feit pity in onr heart for tho pale, weary'
eyed woman that innocent of crime must bear in her
heritage of error and despair tbe heaviest part of the
punishment. May God—the blessed Ruler—in bis
infinite mercy give sure ease to her poor soul!
How lie received tlie News-A visit to Iris
cell at one o'clock.
As soon as Colonel Alexander deliverid the Gover
nor's letter to Colonel S. B. Spencer, lie set out for
the jail in order to acquaint O'Neal with his final ac
tion sealing his doom. Arriving there at one o’clock,
he handed the following note to the Jailor, who
tcred ihe jail, and after waking O’Neal, who •
sleeping soundly, told him to strike a light, that ba
had a note lor him. He struck a light sod received
the note, of which the fol.owing is a copy:
12 O’clock m., Thursday Niuht.
Dear O’Neal: The Governor declines to commute
the sentence of death to imprisonment for life in
penitentiary. The paper sealing your file
handed me a few minutes ago by the Governor’s Secre
tary, in which we, your attorneys, were requested to
communicate tbe contents to you without delay.
This I do, so that the short time yon have left may be
devoted to your spiritual intersts. To a merciful God
I commend yon. The Governor, I know, has douc-
what hia convictions of duty requiro. None of us can
blame him. Duty alone to the public controlled him,
Having done all in my power to the last for you, I
leave you now to your own reflections and a merciful
God. Yours truly,
After reading the note it was some minutes before
he spoke when with a despondent voice he exclaimed,
“It is all over with me, J ohn.” Yes. “I have done
all in my power.” Yes. “My God, It is terrible.’
Yes. “And he refuses even to respite.” Yes, be
leaves nothing bnt for the sentence of the law to be
executed.” O merciful God,” then after a pause added
“Ihtre is no other chance, is there?” ‘ None that 1
know of except to try to bear it as well as you
Yon were sleeping sweetly and I am sorry I waked
yon.”
During the whole of this interview choking sobs
could be heard from the prisoner. God grant that
none of onr readers may ever have to suffer similar
feelings.
RIOT AT TAYLORSVILLE.
A MAN SHOT IN THE LEO.
Three of the Parties Bound
Over.
One of the Participants Escapes
Ou Saturday last a difficulty originated at Tayiuia-
ville, in Bartow county, twelve miles from Cartcrsville,
on the Cherokee railroad, which, before it waa termi
nated, involved a number of persons. About three
o'clock, p. if., three or four men cugaged in a quarrel,
making demonstiationa, when Constable W. J. Sim-
mervillo went up to them for tbe purpose of separat
ing the parties. At this juncture, while talking to J.
II. Walker, Tim ltobinson came np behind and
struck Simmerviile a blow on the head. Walker then
drew his pistol and fired, the ball taking effect in the
calf of Simmerviile’s right leg, where it still remains
The wouuded man is steadily improving, bist confined
to his room. Walker was arrested and carried to
Cartersville aud lodged in jail, but Las since been re
leased ou giving bond, for bis appearance at the next
term of the Superior Court. On Monday Robinson
and five or six of his friends placed themselves ou the
roadside, where young Frank Gilbert, with whom
they bad the first difficulty on Saturday, would pas c ,
aud as soon as ho came along, Robinson
set iu upon him with a stick. The contest was soon
changed to a fisticuff between tho two, which resulted
in the worsting of Robinson, at tbe hands of Gilbert.
The timely arrival of some of Gilbert’s friends only
prevented him from being roughly handled by those
who had evidently accompanied R jbinson for that
purpose. On Tuesday, all the parties w ho waylaid the
road were arrested, except one who managed to eff«*t
his escape on leg bail. Of tbose arrested, all but three
have been set at liberty, aud the last named number
held under bond* for their appearance at court,
learn from a gentleman residing in tho community
where it occurred, that the affair created intense
citrraent, aud that the conduct of the parties who
led young Gilbert, has aroused the indignation of
the people of the whole section. The precise cause
of the origin of the trouble, we did not ascertain,
aud cannot therefore intelligibly pass upon the merits
of the transaction,

Dear Sir—In rep la to your inquiry, I would
state that my opinion of PETERS’ EUREKA
TANNING PltOCF.SH may be inferred from
the fact that I am now wearing a pair of
boots, Ihe leather of which was tanned by
t lyit process before the same was perfected
and a patent obtained; that the said boots
have now been in wear for he period of three
years are tbe most pliabe aud easy to the
feet ol any boot I ever wore, and lire in a
good state of preservation yet

The undersigned take pleasure in affirming
their knowledge of the facts, and tbe truth of
the statements set forth, in the loregoing let
ter ol their fellow-townsman, S. M. Nichoald*,
and also in attesting the unsurpassed excel
lence and great superiority of tho leather
tanned by ihe Eureka Tauning Process.
