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.

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 Liberty.
