Atlanta, March ll.-At 3:20 o’clock
p. m. the office of the State Treasurer, at
the Capitol in this city, was the scene of
a IL-ody tragedy, the parties being Colo
nel Rjbert A. Alston, member of the Leg
islature, and Captain E. 6. Cor, of De-
Kalb county. Alston fired three shots,
and Oox two. Alston was shot in the
right temple, the ball passing through
his brain. Cox was shot in the month
atd through the left hand. Alston is dy
ing. but Cox is not seriously hurt.
The difficulty arose from Alston having
a power of attorney from Senator Gor
don to sell the latter’e interest in the
State convict lease. Cox is sub-leasee
under Gordon and wanted Alston to sell
Gordon’s interest to Walters, who had
promised to buy Cox out. Alston sold
to another person. Cox threatened Al
ston at noon that be would kill him be
fore sundown if the trade was not can-
oelled and made with his man. Ho
hunted Alston down, ' Governor Col
quitt and others having detained Alston
at the capitol, the quarrel was renewed
and both drew their pistols with the re
sult above stated.
Latio.—Colonel Alston died at four
minutes after six this evening.

sity of tlodisg some general rule applica
ble to all oases of difference. It would
not be surprising if the idea of an event
ual reference of ali such matters to the
ambassadors at Constantinople, the deci
sion of a majority of whom would be
final, were revived as tbe only moans of
termiua'ing ’.be tedious negotiations.
The Daily Neves’ Paris dispatch says the

Tho Daily Hews correspondent at Ber
lin, disoussing the renewed rumors of
the dissolution of the Kelchsts;, says :
The personal altercations of the list two
days b ave certainly complicated tbe situa
tion immensely, apd if mere personal
irritation were to bo coasidered, Bis
marck would have enough reason for
promptly appealing to tho people, but
there is yet no occasion to doubt that
tbe financial measures will at least b9
submitted to the present Reichstag. The
National Zeitung seems to leer an early
dissolution. It admits that Bismarck
is all powerful in tho federal, council,
which would readily acoede if he pro •
posed the dissolution. Bat it add9 omi
nously a new election at present would
only result in the creation of a radical
party which now does not exist unices the
Socialist can be so considered. This is
supposed to relate to tho alleged inten
tions of Dr. Loskor to join tha advanced
Liberals. Soch a coalition of rational
and odvanoed Liberals would create a
regular and Very radical opposition.

million dollars in the Treasury. Con
gress appropriated money to pay these
arrears bnt made no provision for raising

brought to the attention of Congress at the

of the departments in cise the legislative
bill should not pas3 before July 1st, was
also considered.

railway mail service to-day issued a cir
cular letter to all tho division superin
tendents informing them that in order to
make up the deficiency in tho service of

ber of employes which can be epared ia

have reiterated tha statement that tbe
Pope, in ponsequenee of the pressure of
Cardinal Manning, or the French Bien
ops, has chaogea ms policy and ranged
himself behind the possnmers and re
vindication of the temporal power. We
are able to most decidedly contradict this

protest until such provisions arc nude as
right and reason require for the dignity
and liberty of the Holy See.

correspondent at Paris Bayr: The im
peachment motion is likely to have a
result which its authors do not contem
plate, viz: the beginning of a crusade to
pat down noisy demagogues who aim at
rendering government impossible under
every regime and who are now adopting
against the Republic maccauvres to which
they resorted against the Empire and
Monarchy of July. The feeling of irrita
tion is general tbronghont the country
agamet these mischievous fanatics who,
whenever things happen to be settling
down and the Chambers seem on a pome
of directing their attention to the busi
ness of the nation, start an interpellation
or defamatory attack against some min
ister, or a motion for impeaohment of a
former minister, or a resolution for the
rehabilitation of the Committee. The
time ana temper of the country, as well
as of the house, require protection
against these incendiaries, and if the
government shrinks from taking meas
ures to render them inocuoue,' the coun
try will get tired of the government.
The nnantmous outcry is, “We have had
too much of all this; we want to be let
alone, and havejoo more playing at the
1783 Committee of Publio Safety and the
Reign of Terror.’’

the impeachment are ihe Rappel, the

scheme in orderto secure the support ot
the majority of tho Republicans, mast bu
concluded in such terms that the Da
Broglie and Roehebonet Cabinets, while
escaping the judgment of spy formal tri-

support of a large majority of the Repub

doubtless be the tesuo of the debate.”

New York, March 12 —An accident
occurred at Gilmore’s Garden to-night
causing a* panic and terrible excitement.
A' 23 minutes past 8 o’clock, and while
there were nearly 10,000 people in the
building, a crash and roar was heard and
a long section of the upper gallery in the
south floor of the building snddenly sank
downwaids with tho mass of living
and struggling humanity - on it. Then
arose shrieks, prayers and curses; a panic
ensued, and men rushed frantically and
wilily around. A rush was made for the
doors and a cry of fire rang out.
The soene that followed beggars de-
sorip ion.and for a time it looksd as If
hundreds of lives would be lost. Seme
men endeavored to stop the panio by
ehontingont that there was no danger. In
less than ten seootds every window in
•he building was smashed open and many
dezms of persons jumped out and went
home es quickly as possible.
When the ace fdent ccccncd Rowe
Harriman and Ennis ware all on
track, aad hey lemaiaed there at 1
n gent request of parties who wete the
i: g to' allay the panic. When it the
found that the building was nob on fire,
«Ld only a portion of the gallery bad fal
len, the panio subsided.
TIE CHAMPION SHOT.
Captain ucaraui ul San at the
Park this afieraovn.
This afternoon, commencing promptly
at 4 o’clock, the great champion shot of
the wot 11, Captain Bogardtu, will aston<
iah all who go with some of his re*
markable shooting at glass balls from
the celebrated Bogardua trap. The
■hooting will take plaoe in front of the
grand stand. An admission of twenty-
five cents will be charged. The
tests laid down in the programme
for the occasion are numerous
and will folly display the skill and ability
of tbe matksman. Master Eigene Bs-
gardns will handle the rills, and w.U give
an exhibition, whioh is said to bs tally
as fiae as that. given by Dr. Citver.
Yesterday afternoon, at the Park, in ex
hibition was given before a few gentle
men. Captain Bogardas, of coarse,
handled the shot gun with tbe touch of a
master. One of the most wonderful ex
hibitions we have seen, was the shooting
of the young son of the Captain. Four
teen glass balls were thrown into the air,
and every one broken with a thirty-two
Caliber Scott xifl9. A one cent piece was
bit the first shat, and sent singing to*
wards the Ocmulgee river.
Fragments of rook, bricks, etc, were
successfully hit and the young man
plainly demonstrated the fact that he,
even at his age, is one of the most won
derful rifle shots of the world. A large
number will go down this evening. La
dies, especially, will be welcome to the
exhibition.

their esteem and in death elicited their
praise. The deceased was as well known

as a voluntary, “Come, ye disconsolate,”
in a very eolemn manner. Rev. G. G. N.

Rev. Mr. Clisby. Rev. Dr. Key. pastor
of the church, then rose, and after read
ing the burial service of the Methodist
denomination, delivered a very appropri
ate tribnte to the deceased, fall of feeling
and a truthful portraiture of her who bad
lately fallen asleep fall of the praises of
her people.
She was indeed a remarkable lady, of
strong intellectual powers, and for fifty
years a member of the Methodist Church-
Rev. Dr. Skinner next read the hymn com
mencing “There is a land of pare de
light.” After it was song, the remains
were returned to the hearse and conveyed
to Rose Hill Cemetery, followed by a
eortege of carriages.
The following gentlemen acted as pall
bearers : Messrs. "VT. H. Boss, Emory
