THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN
riltTRftPAY. JULY
CAPT. EGELSTON
HAS PASSED AWAY
Was Officer in Regular Ar
my at Old Fort Mc
Pherson.
House S. Egelston, Union veteran
•nil ex-captain In the regular army,
dropped dead at the residence of J. M.
glmonton. 401 Gordon street, at 7:J0
o’clock Wednesday evening.
Captain Egelston was a native of
j>w Tork state, having been boro
there In 1822. He entered the war aa
captain In the Ninety-seventh New
Tork Volunteers and was subsequently
promoted to the rank of lieutenant cot
on el. He was mustered out at the close
of the war, and on account of his ex
cellent record was given a commission
as captain In the Eighteenth Infantry,
V S. A., and was stationed at old Fort
McPherson, which was then located
in what is now West End. Captain
periston retired from the army about
1870 and entered the railway mall ser
vice, where he served until hurt In a
wreck In tha Atlanta yards about four
or five years agd. He ■ had acquired
considerable property and retired from
scllve work after that time.
Captain Egelston was married
New Vork before the war and he and
his wife lived together for more than
fifty year*. After a long lllneea his
wife died several years ago and was
buried In Galway, New York.
Built Memorial Church.
While very modest and retiring, Cap
tain Egelston was known for his char
itable acts, and several years ago he
built at his own expense the Rouse S.
Egelston Memorial Methodist church,
which stands at the corner of Fulton
and Washington streets. Here the fu
neral services will be held, Rev. Isaac
Miller officiating, though definite ar
rangements have not been decided upon
pending the receipt of advice from rel
atives who were communicated with
bv .Mr. Slmonton Wednesday night. It
Is probable that the local post of the
G. A. R. will also hold services, as he
w as a prominent member.
Captain Egelston had no children,
and the only relatives known to Mr.
Slmnnton are hie nephewa in New
York.
On account of the fact that Captain
Egelston’1 wife died after a long Illness
he had several times expressed a wish
that when he died the end might come
quickly and without pain, and wl\en he
sank down on the lounge Just after
leaving the supper table Wednesday
night his wish was fulfilled to the let-

The use of the stalk In place of logs
In mountain cabins Is considered shlft-
lese, for the stalks shrivel so much In
a year or so that great gaps aro left In
the walls.
The leaves are used for tents, bath
tubs and parachutes. They are not
used much for making cigars, because
a smoke made from these giants Is so
strong that only men. with very tough
systems can use them.
The leaves ore gathered thus:
ladder Is placed against the stalk and
the farmer ascends and saws them
off one at a lime. On one occasion a
four-year-old child climbed one of
these ladders and got up In the cab
bage head. Ills foot slipped and he
was drowned In live feet of water
caught In one of the leaves.
One farmer had a laborer who was
always disappearing during working
hours. One day while this man was
off duty terrific yells were heard com
ing from the cabbage orchard. Beveral
men hurried In the direction of the
trouble. They found the loafer up a
big cabbage, waving oft n six-foot
cabbage bug, which was standing on
Its hind legs and pawing at the man
with hideous green claws. One of the
farmers ran to the house, got a shot
gun and poured two barrels of buck-
shot Into the poisonous creature. With
a shriek of agony he curled up and
died. •
The monster caterplller was skinned,
stuffed and la now said to be In a
museum In the mountains of Georgia.
But aa the muaeum Is forty miles from
any railroad no one haa yet gone there
to get a photograph of the monstrosity.

Berlin, July 26.—An extraordinary
outrage, smacking of the Aiperlcan
"wild west,” rather than a European
country, occurred oiy«n express train
from Berlin to Nordenery, the fashion
able seaside resort, during the night.
Frau Noelle, the wife of a high of
ficial In the ministry of finance, left
Berlin at 11 o'clock last night for Nor-
deney, accompanied by her two sops,
aged 12 and 11: her daughter, aged 6,
and the latter's governed*. The five
occupied a reserved Arst-class com
partment, constructed on the English
plan. After turning (he gas low’, all
live settled down to sleep.
Robber Had Revolver. -
Immediately after the train left
Rathenow station the door of the com
partment was opened and a strange
man entered, holding a revolver In hla
right hand. The terrified occupants of
the compartment could see by the dim
light of the lowered ga» Jem that his
face was partly covered by a mask,
being thus unrecognizable. ,
The masked Intruder shouted—In the
regular "penny horrible" styW—“Your
money or your life!”
Demanded Mors Monsy.
Frau Noelle Immediately handed him
three notes ot the value of 6 pounds
each. The masked brigand seized them
and said:
“Not enough. You have more, hand
over all your money or I lire."
Frau Noelle produced another note.
The robber then compelled her to turn
out all her pockets and hand over every
coin she’had, afterwards repeating the
process with each of the children and
the governess. The total plunder
-mounted to 1126. Pocketing this sum,
