SK* A SAD OCCURRENCE.
A Young Mother Found Dead In Bed With
Her Babe In Her Arms,
Mrs. Ida McGinnis, the young wife of
John McGinnis, a railroad man living at
Vans Valley Station, was found dead in
bed yesterday morning. The circum
stances were very sad.
Yesterday morning when Mr. McGin
nis arose he built a fire hnd did several
chores'about the house before trying to
arouse his Wife who slept with her babe
ia the room.
Bttt the husband was ste kel beyond
when he placed his hand up
to find it cold and chill.
The young wife was dead, and nestled
agaiuht the still head was the tiny babe
of three months.
Death had come to her in the silence of
the night—came swiftly and
without pain, for the dead lips had a
tender smile lingering about them, as
though the gates had opened wide in
on instant.
The authorities here were notified
and Coronor Schlapbach, Dr. Will Shaw
and Deputy Redmond went to the scene.
The coronors jury returned a verdict of
death from heart failure.
’ TO# funeral will occur today at the
cemetery.
«ores indolent ulcers and
similal'twubles, even though of many
year’s standing, may be cured by using
DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve. It soothes
ktrepgthehs and heals. It is the great
pile cure.
MARRIED AGAIN
—
Mr. and Mr*. Mims of Atlanta. Victims of an
Unscrupulous Minister.
Atlanta, Oct. 9-In 1892 Robert
was married, as they supposed, to
•Mrs.’Mary Jones here. Several children
rn t 0 l^ern -
Today Mims had occasion for some
establish bis marriage. He
, ordinary’s office, ajid was
worried to find no record of
jtappeared there.
SHpn ’the facts gradually camo out,
When Mims was married he gave the
preacher, who was named Smart,
With a part of this Smart was to buy
the license and keep the rest on his fee.
But tbe preacher thought he would
eave the price of license and no one
would ever be the wiser. Mt. and Mva.
Mime, upon learning these facts were
married in> the ordinary's office today.
NO MORE JOBS NOW
Postmaster John Vandiver Will Hold on for
His Fall Term.
Washington, Oct. 9. There will
be little more business done at ths
Federal pie counter between now and
the meeting of congress. It is stated
about the corridors of the white
house. There are several reasons for
this, two being important ones in tbe
eyes of the administration. In the
first place it is not good politics to go
on making appointments while con
gressmen are not here. It puts a pub
lic man in good humor with himself
to see tbe president one day and have
an appointment, in which he may be
interested, made the next.
SMYTHE APPOINTED.
The Appointment for Atlanta’* New Postmas
ter Made Yesterday.
Atlanta. Oct. 9.—President Mc-
Kinley has appointed Maj. W. H.
Smythe as postmaster to succeed Dr.
Fox, whose term of office expires on
the 28.
The appointment was not expected
until next week, and the news will be
a big surprise to Prof. Wilson and his
friends who believed all the time that
Prof. Wilson would win.
Tbe Miniatiel Last Night.
Al. G. Field and his great company
minstrel artists played to a packed
house last night. Field is tbe same
inimitable and irrestibly mirth pro
voker of old. Tbe minstrel of today
resembles very little that of old times.
The specialties were all excellent.
Ollie Young, master of tbe Indian
club, Manola and Miller, acrobatic
comiques and the marvelous Cornalla
family of lady and gentlemen acro
bats were all features of unusual
merit.
A Study of Berlin.
Berlin is almost as discouraging in
its other landmarks of its notable Ger
mans as in its public statues. It is al
most as bad as New York, where few
houses now stand that were in existence
when Franklin and Washington were
alive. London is rich in buildings as
sociated with great men, and an Ameri
can can hardly walk from Westminster
to St. Paul’s without recalling a dozen
names of . men whose lives are dear to
him. Berlin has, however, been almost
built anew since 1870. I can remember
whole streets that were different when
I was a boy. . There are, to be sure, a
few instances of memorial plates being
affixed to houses where notable Ger
mans have lived, but even in these cases
the houses themselves are an uninterest
ing portion of an uninteresting Street.
The Prussian kings adored uniformity
in street architecture, as well as in the
dressing of soldiers, and that may be
the reason why today the Most beautiful
streets of Berlin furnish less interest to
a stranger than the grimiest alleys of
London, with their charming diversity
of dirty fronts.
The houses here are all equally high,
equally broad, equally gaudy on the
outside and equally devoid of individu
ality within. The Anglo-Saxon owns
his house and makes it comfortable for
himself and his family. The Prussian
lives in an apartment house, along with
perhaps a dozen more families, all of
them subject to the petty tyranny of a
porter whose duties are dangerously
near to those of a police agent. Thus
the individual taste of a Berlin artist,
writer, actor or other notable resident
finds no expression through his architec
tural surroundings. A Helmholtz, a
Mommsen, a Menzel or a Virchow is
in Berlin as little identified with his
house as a soldier with his barracks.
This form of living has its conveniences,
particularly to a bachelor, but is not
conducive to interest in those who seek
the literary landmarks of great capitals.
