His head and face were burned to a crisp and he expired in a few minutes after the family reached the room where he lay.

Poe of Macon received a letter from J. B Turner, an old veteran living at Providence Fla.. saying that he was in one of the Georgia regiments of cav alry. had crossed the Potomac five times., and lust a leg at Gettysburg. He was in vited to come to the reunion but wanted a badge as a souvenir. Mr. Poe sent the badge Ont of the 8.5.000 old veteran bad ges printed by the committe over 500 re main. Any old veteran can secure one by enclosing a stamp to G. JL Davis. Robert Bryce, of Brunswick, was last week “over the river” near Fancy Bluff prospecting for phof>hats. Whilst walking along tic- road he came upon several dogs, who suddenly conceived a violent dislike for him and rushed upon him, inflicting seriou wounds in his leg*. Mr. Piles, happening in reach, rucherl up and drove .ff the dog* Had Mr. Bryce fallen in the melee he would no doubt have been seized by the throat and aeriouslv injured. As it ts he is ha/lly hurt, and will be confined to his room for several days. When the train from Atlanta reached BarcorviUe Monday night, the depot was brilliantly lighted r.nd half the population of the town was congregated on the spot. The occasion of the demonstration was a fire in the cotton stored on the wharf. The Are was discovered in the cotton alout 8 o’clock. The alarm was given and an en gine was soon there and the firemen at work. At 9 o’clock the flames were confined to about a dozen bale* of the staple which were piled up apart from the hundreds of other bales which afforded stunting room when the Central passed for apparently as many people. Last Saturday Will Whiteley, of Gibson, •aw a ground squirrel jumping about in a tree, and took up a notion to climb after it. The result was the boy beat the squirrel at his own game, or whatever you may call it. He actually tired the squirrel so" that he ■ -aught it after a lively chase from one tree to another. There may have been something the matter with the squirrel.or it may have been a tame one which had strayed off, but according to accounts the capture was as hard to make u if the squirrel was reallv a healthy and wild one. This is the same hoy that killed a covey of partridges with one shot from a gun. A letter written by Tom Woolf oik. the Bibb county murderer, to Solicitor Harde man on Oct. 19 is a curiosity. He says he is an honorable man and should be acquit ted. On his acquittal ho will pay the Solici tor SI,OOO if a fair and impartial trial is given him. He also wants permission to walk the corridors with the other prisoners. He save he is the only one of about seventy or eighty prisoner* who is not allowed this privilege. Jailer Birdsong, he says, gave orders that he should be kept in a cell all the time. He believes that the Solicitor can get him the privileges; if not for his own sake, for the sake of his father. Little Billy Rountree a son of J. R. Roun tree, happened to a terrible accident at Hwain&boro a few days ago, while work ing around his father's gin. He was clean ing the motes away from the gin. and while so engaged, the gin caught his coat and pulled him in, and tiefore he could l<e gotten away, his right arm was horribly lacerated, and he received several wounds elsewhere. His father and uncle Wash was standing near, and immediately rescued him. or he would have been killed. The doctors who attended him, found it necessary to take off his right hand in order to save his arm. He bore it manfully, and is getting along well, under the circumstances. The Comptroller General is getting anxious aboutthe State taxes. His anxiety does not arise from the mere question of the taxes, but from the fact that they are not coming into the Treasury. The payment of the interest on the public debt during the summer, the payment of the heavy appro priations, the warrants for the civil establishment and the expense at taching to a protracted session of the Legislature have been heavy drains on the public purse, and the Treasury is in neea of money. It has been some two months since the" taxes were due. and tax collectors have been urged to press collec tions and make remittances, and yet money is coming in very slowly. The Comptroller General has not heard from more than a half dozen counties in the State. It is ex pected, however, that the receipts will begin to swell in a few days, and there will be Jnv in the offices of the Comptroller and the Treasurer. As soon as Dr. G. W. Gardner, of Atlan ta, charged with fornication, was incar cerated in the Fulton county jail, his health began to decline, and it hag been getting worse ever since. Dr. Stiles and Dr. West moreland have examined him frequently, and they concur in the opinion that his con dition is precarious, aud that if held in con finement his death will inevitably occur soon. This fact was brought to the atten tion of Gardner’s friends in the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and they resolved to come to his aid aud seek to obtain a reduc tion in the amount of his bond. They waited upon Judge Van Epps end he consented to reduce the bond from 93,000 to #m Monday Son. Gnitreil appeared in the City Court and made a motion for reduction in bail in Dr. Gardner's caw*, and a reduction of the Jins jin the case of Mary L. Hunt. Jud_e Van Epps granted both moti us, reduciug Gaid iier's nail to *ooo and Mary Hunt's tine from s.aj to $lOO. It is undersoxl that ; Dr. Gardner's friends will give bond and that Mary Hunt's friends will pay her tine. Both cas*-.- have teen appealed to the Su preme Court. There is a girl named Deila Burgess serv ing a life term in the Dade county coal mines. Oie story of whose crime is some what strange Her father, James Burgess ; lived near Start in, in the western part of the State He hail two daughters, the youngest of whom was Leila. About three years ago he joined the church, and became a regular church attendant. He woe pained to se.- that his twodaughters. now grown to y- 'Ung womanhood, did m t cun- to attend the religious services with the regularity that he did. and where all should have been concord the bitterts-t kind of dis-vri grew up. After a while Burgess told the girls that a revival was about to open, and '.hut he expected them to attend every service, and if they did not there would be somebody to whip. For three mornings the girls failed to ap. ear at the "sunrise' meetings. On the fourth morning Burgess pulled the girls out of bed arid began to chastise one of them severely. When he ha! beaten her into submission lie began ou tbe other. L-ila, who wie the one chastised, slipped out of the room, procured an ax. and with one stroke, buried the -slge of it in her father's skull. The gash was five inches long and penetrated the brain half an inch. Afterward the girl sat looking sullenly at the dead body of her father, oblivious of the crowds which pressed in tliehold t!ie s>ne of blood. She was convicted of the highest grade of man slaughter, and took her place among the convicts uncomplainingly, merely saying that she would commit the crime over again *nfore she would te compelled to go to eburen sij early in the morning. About 10:30 o'clock Mowlay morning the Rome and Carrollton train was ajyr aching Rome at a speed of ten or fifteen miles an hour. The train was composed of an en gine. three freight cars and one passenger coach. About two miles from town there is a trestle crossing a dry ravine. When within 150 feet of the trestle the passenger coach left the tra-k. but continued to run. The trestle was reached w hen the coach was disconnected from the truck, aud rolled over the trestle into the ravine thirty ieet below. The coach turn ed completely over and landed on its side. J. W.

Mrs Dai ly was taken to the resdenceot Mr. Jones, near by. where *he still is. All others were taken to Rome late in the afternoon, and are long properly cared for. Presi dent Wiihams.>n and the au thorities of the road did ail in their power for the comfort of the wounded. Dr*. J. B. S. Holmes. T M. Holme-, E. P. Lovelace. M Fank and O. T.

Mr. Frank Richardson sends to the Balti more Sun an interesting report of an inter view with Cardinal Manning in London, from which the following is taken: "The Cardinal evinced accurate knowledge of American affairs. He admire* our form of government, but thinks its administration could be improved it" we bad fewer elections and longer terms of offi'-e. He takes much interest in the proposition for the assem bling of a Catholic congress of Engiish *l eak.ug people, and said he had just re ceived a letter from Bishop Ireland in regard to that matter. I asked the cardi nal about the progress of Catholicism in England. He said it was If osfc grati fying: that it was not so much in compara tive point of numbers a* in the material progress and influence. The church now stood ou a happy basis in England, and was given as much consideration by government and people as any other denomination. The Church of England did not exercise or at tempt to axereise any direct i nfiuence ou legislation or politics, but of course its pat ronage controlled votes. He showed me from his window a splendid site, covering four acres, which he securest some time since for the erection of a grand cathedral in London. He said he should not, at liis advam ed time of life, attempt to begin the work of building this cathedral; that he must leave for his successor. In speaking of English politics, he said it was probable that no people were better satisfied with the structure of their government aud its institutions than those of Great Britain. In no government in the world was there *uch a degree of absolute personal liberty as in Great Britain. One never knew there was any law until he ran against it. Scotland and England were completely fused in identity of interest. It was different with Ireland l>eeause of the different treatment. That unhappy island had been ruled by England for more than three centuries by force alone. It was under Henry VIII. that the policy was inaugur ated which had made and kept Ireland "dis affected. Had it not been for this Ireland would have been as devoted and as loyal to the English crown as Scotland. He was an Englishman to the backbone, but he knew and loved Irish people. A more true, a more loyal and a more noble race never existed. They could be ruled with an up lifted thumb when kindly and justly dealt with, but they never would bow to force aud wrong. He had often been asked about bovcotters and moonshiners, and so on. He believed that injustice always developed the worst passions of men, and boycotters and moonshiners were the product of injustice. Proper and just land laws fie considered to be the essential element for the tranquiliz ing of Ireland, and one feature must be the requirement of absentee landlords to return or ]>art with their estates. There were sev eral big corporations in London which owned vast tracts of laud in Ireland. This was manifestly wrong, aud one of the first things to be remedied was that these lands should go into the possession of those whose labor gave them all the value they possess. The cardinal said he had never been much enamored with the name of “Irish Parliament." In his view the legislative body to be created for Ireland should not be one with the prerogatives of a Parlia ment a* commonly understood, but a cham ber which should have the control of legisla tion affecting local matters only. I said to him I had found no sentiment worth speak ing of in London in favor of Irish home rule, and inquired what he thought about the prosjiects. He replied tliat i xindou was intensely aristocratic, intensely wedded to custom, and therefore opposed to change. But it was not so in the province*. The feeling in favor of home rule was growing rapidly every day in the country, and he had the strongest belief it would eventually tie strong enough to control both Houses of Parliament, and force justice to be done the Irish. He could not venture to predict’"when this day would come, but he hoped to see it. Over-Worked Women.
