THE ROME TRIBUNE. WEDNESDAY OCTOBER L'O. 1897
A. B. TATUM KILLED.
Stepped From Tram Near Athens, And
Fe’l 70 Feet Through Trestle.
HE THOUGHT IT WAS HIS STATION.
Father oi Gurdon Tatum, Court Bt.noj.’ap ll
tr Rome Circuit—One of Heat Known
Men in the Revenue Service.
Mr. Gordon Tatum, court steno
grapher of the Rome circuit received
a telegram yesterday morning stating
that his father, M. A. B. Tatum had
been instantly killed at Athens early
that morning.
Mr. Tatum was deputy revenue col
lector, and made his headquarters in
Athens. He was on the train en route
to Athens when he stepped off the
trestle over the Oconee river and fell
70 feet to the shoals below, breaking
every bone in his body and killing
him instantly.
Deputy Marshal J. M. Wheatley
was on tbe train with Tatum and
gives the following version of the af
fair:
“The train was stopping and Tatum
said to me. ‘Here is where I get off,’
and just as he got up to leave the
coach, the porter came to the door
and called out ‘Athens Junction,’ Ta
tum said ‘good bye, Wheatley, ’ and
went out the car door.
“The train stopped just as begot
on the platform, and he stepped out
into the dark and fell 70 feet, It was
not Athens Junction, but the Northeast
ern railroad crossing, and the train had
merely stopped there because the law re
quites it to do so, and was standing on
the trestle.”
Wheatley and the train hands went
down to the shoals and picked up Ta
tum’s body, put it in the express car and
brought on to Athens, where they put in
the station. Every bone in his .body was
broken.
Tatum was about 48 years old, and
was appointed deputy collector by Tram
mell, and has served four years.
Mr. Tatum was well known in this sec
tion, and the news of his terribis death
will be heard with regret. He was one
of the best known and most efficient men
in the revenue service.
Mr. Gordon Tatum left at once for
Athens.
The inquest over Mr. Tatum’s remains
was held in Athens yesterday afternoon,
at 4 o’clock and the coroner’s jury re
turned a verdict attaching all blame on
the Seaboard for stopping on the trestle.
Those who believe chronic diarrhoea
to be incurable should read what Mr. P
E. Grisham, of Gaars Mills, La., has to
say on the subject, viz : “I have been a
sufferer from chronic diarrhoea ever
since the war and have tried all kinds of
medicines for it. At last I found a
remedy that affected a cure And that
was Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy. ” This medicine
can always be depended upon for colic,
cholera morbus, dysentery and diarrhoea.
It is pieasant to take and never fails to
effet a cure. 25 and 50 cent sizes for sale

WILL LEAVE ROME
Prof. Hodges and Children Will Move to Tai
ladega. Envtertainment For His Benefit
Prof, Hodges, the blind musician and
his two blind children wi 1 leave next
week for Talladega, Ala., where they
will reside in the future. Prof. Hodges
goes there in order to educate his little
ones, who are forever shut out from a
view of the beautiful woild about them.
For years Prof. Hodges has been a
familiar figure on the streets of Rome.
In spite of the fact that he is totally
blind, he could make his way to any por
tion of the city, with no guide save his
stick and own unerring instinct. His
sense of hearing and touch is marvelous.
He would walk into a store and instant
ly locate those present, almost it seemed
with no other aid than their breathing.
He is a good man, and a true one.
Since he is to leave Rome the Young
Ladies Missionary Society of the Second
Methodist church deem it a fitting tri
bute to give a public entertainment foi
his benefit.
So next Friday evening from 7:30 to
11 at the residence of Mr. J. A. Glover
in the Fourth ward an “Art Museum,”
will be given for his benefit. An admis
sion of ten cents will be charged. A
good time is in store for all who attend,
and there will doubtless baa large
crowd present.

EUGENIE BLUR ILL
Th<> Brautiful Actress Very Sick in Atlanta,
And Date Cancelled Here.
A telegram was received by Mana
ger Nevin last night from Atlanta
stating that Miss Eugenie Blair (Mrs.
Robert Downing) was quite ill in that
city, and the date here would have to
be cancelled.
This will be a distinct disappoint
ment to the theatre-goers of Rome
who were looking forward with much
pleasure to the presentation of Alex
ander Dumas. Jr.’s great drama,
“Camille.” Her production of "East
Lynne” hsre last season won for her)
a ver}- warm place in the hearts of
Romans.
It is hoped that her illness is not of
a serious nature.
A few weeks ago the editor was taken
with a very severe cold that caused him '
to be in a most miserable condition. It
was undoubtedly a bad case of la grippe
and recognizing it as dangerous he took
immediate steps to bring about a speedy
cure. From the advertisement of Cham
berlain’s Cough Remedy and the many
good recommendations included theriu,
we concluded to make a first trial of the
medicine. To say that it was satisfac
tory in its results, is putting it very
mildly, indeed. It acted like magic
and the result a speedy and perma
nent cure. y We have no hesitancy in
recommending this excellent Cough
Remedy to anyone afflicted with a cough
or cold in any form.—The Banner of
