Howell died suddenly of heart disease at his home in LeGrauge Monday at the age of about 60 years. Mrs. Baxter Swanson has sold her beauti ful suburban home, near LaGraoge, to F. 1,. Kid well, who will make the place his home. It is one of the most valuable plaoea about the city. The ladies of the industrial home of Athens are tireless In their efforts to secure a handsome and useful building for their organization. They have enough money Slew to begin work, and it U believed that work on the now building will begin this spring: Monday night, as the Georgia railroad train, Athen* division, was nearing Wood- Tiile on its way from Union Foiot, some unknown t arty burlwia large stone at the car, >%hicb atnasbad tbo car window and came very ncai injuring two young Indies cf the Lucy Cobb Institute, who were fit ting on the seat by the window. Monday a gentleman was at Grunt park at Atlanta looking at the animals. He was leaning on a leather walking stick, one of those made Ly running a wire through small pieces of ieni her. The elephant reached her *m.ut over to the stick, gathered it In, put 'Jt down on the ground and with snout and foot crumpled it up. stuck it in her mouth, chewed ail the leather off and spit out ths ■wire almost twfore the astonished visitor saw what she was about. Baker's store, one of the most protnluent at Lovejoy, was broken iuto some time during Hunday night. Monday morning when the proprietor opened up bo found Ills goods scattered about and on fuitber investigation discovered that S7OO had been stolen. Of this amount SSOO was in ■gild. Ths money nad been kept in b small safe over night. Mr. Baker imme diately offered a reward of $250 for the burglar, with proof to convict. There cau lie little doubt as to who will lie tue purchasers of the Macon street car system. The Thomson-Houston Electric Company are interested in the road to the extent of over $200,000, and as the system in its present condition is worth but little over that sum, it is not probable that any other syndicate will care to make a bid. It may therefore t* put down as settled that on March 111 next Receiver Winter will knock down the system to the highest bidder, and that that bidder will tie the Thomson-Uous ton Electric Company. The oity council of Forsyth failed to sus tain the mayor pro tern, in bis decision Bgaiust the young men who went serenad ing last Monday night and were fined for disorderly conduct. Never has any case before the counoil created such a stir. There were thirty-eight witnesses examined, and nearly the eutire male population was out to bear the verdict of tbe council. For several days tbe case be* been discussed by the town. Col. J. B. Williamson, for the defense, made a short appeal in behalf of the young men, and no one was surprised when tbe council reversed the decision of tbe mayor pro tens. A novel plan has boon proposed at Greeusboro for a platform for legislative candidates. It is as follows: That each aspirant frame three bills (without aid) which be believes will embrace the most meded and lmprtant legislation that cau be placed before the legislature, seal them and send them to tho lierald~Journal on May 1, and that the paper publish all of said bills as space will permit by July 1, which will give people a good idea as to whioh man will make tbe best legislator. Each man can demonstrate bis legislative skill before bis Inferior can wire work his way in ahead of bim, and leave tho wisdom of tbe state at home. , Walter Dean, Talbotton’s 15-year-olrt architectural wonder, is still amazing th* people. His plan for the new court house is the wouder of the town. The boy's oonrep tion and tbe mechanical work astonished tbe town, and all who see the plan are amazed at bis genius. Many are in favor of adopting ibe plan and lettiug tbe inscrip tion on the corner-stone be: "Bianned by Walter Dean (onlored),at the age of 15, who was born and reared in Talbot.” Tuesday a reporter banded tbe boy a large card board and asked him to enlarge tbe plan, whioh be did. Rod says the boy has several drawings at his sister's, who lives on bis plaoe, and Mr. Leonard pro nounces them wonderful. This goes to sub stantiate the boy's statement that tbe plan is his own, ar.d is uot a copy from any other likeness. He can draw anything with light ning-like rapidity. He i> a natural born architect, never having had any instruction in drawing. FLORIDA. The Sub-Tropical exposition at Jackson ville is in full blast.

A FAMOUS MEXICAN BANDIT. Garzas Exploits Recall the More Dee perate One* of Joaquin Murtetta. From the Aew York Tribute. Saw Diego, Cal., Feb. 24. —The recent exploit* of the bandit Garza on tbe Mexi can border, which have given tbe Mexican and United States troops a great deal of an noyance, recall to old Californians the ad ventures in tht* state of one of the most daring highwaymen ever known. The name of Joaquin Marietta in the gold fever days was known all along the Pacifio ooaat. This outlaw was a Mexican. He was educated in the school of revolution in Mexico, here tbe line between rebel, robber, pillager and patriot had been to a great extent obliter ated. He was accused of horse stealing by Californians and fled from tbe law-abiding community where be had lived. He regarded himself as a champion of his conntry rather than au outlaw. Of medium hight and somewhat slender In figure, he was extremely active and athletic, and no leas graoeful in move* meet than bands me in person. Long, flowing hair of glossy black fell on his shoulders, and os his upper lip was a thin, silky mustache. His manner was frank and cordial, bis voice eiirery and of generous utterance, and though he was so youthful in appearance there was that about him which made him both loved and feared, and which impressed friend and stranger alike with profound respeot. Thus was Joaquin Munetta in 1853, when be lived at Lot Angeles, at tbe beginning of his desperate career. Tbe injustice done him by tbe horse-thief pursuers rankled in Joaquin’s mind, and be registered an oath of vengeance against Americans, which he relentlessly kept, rarely spring even the innocent. To avenge tbe wrongs inflicted on himself and hit countrymen, who were constantly kicked and cuffed and robbed, was now the purposo of his life. Wilhm a few months the dashiiig boy was at the head of an or ganized band of highwaymen, which rav ished the country in every direction. Mem bers of the bend who disobeyed their supe rior officers were punished with death. Joaquin was always splendidly mounted. Much of bis success depended on his horses, and the spocial business of oertain members of the robber band was to provide a supply of the best horses in the country. Tbe dar ing of tbe young chieftain was amazing. During a dance at Ban Jose, Joaquin be come involved in a fight, was arrested and fined sl2. Being in charge of Deputy Sheriff Clark, *ho did not know tee prisoner, Joaquin invited the officer to go with him to hie house to get tbe money. Clark had beoome obnoxious to Murietta for bit vigorous pursuit of the baud. On reach ing an unfrequented place the robber suddenly turned upou the officer, and with a smile said, “Accept the compliments of Joaquin," and drove his jewelled poinard to tbe biit in Clark's breast. One evening not long afterwards Joaquin was sitting at a monte table in a small town on the Feather river, when an American boastfully offered to bet SSOO that be would kill the scoundrel Joaquin the first time he met him. Carried away by one of his daro devil impulses, Joaquin sprang upon tbe table, and thrust ing his nistul hi the man’s face cried: *T tako the bet: Joaquin is before you." Then tossing tbe oorner of his cape over his shoulder he strode out of the room and rede away with some of his companions. While visiting in Los Angeles, Joaquin heard that Deputy Sheriff Wilson of Bauta Barbara intended to capture him dead or alive. The robber got up a sham fight be tween two Indians in front of Wilson’s hotel. When the latter came out to see the tigbc, Joaquin rode at biin and hissing his own terrible name in Wilson's ear sent a bullet through the officer’s head and rode away. One evening Joaquin rode into a camp where twenty-five miners were at supper, and sitting sideways on bis horse tiogan talk ing. One miner recognized the robber and shouted: “That is Joaquin! Why in the name of God don’t you kill him!" Spurring his horse, with one bound be cleared the camp anil dashed down tbo canon. Finding bis way blocked there he returned toward the camp, to avail himself of a narrow coyote trail around the brow of the preoipice that overhung the canon. A shower of bullets greeted his reappearance, but noue touched him, as bs dashed up and along that dizzy path, waving his dagger and shouting defiance. Once passing a saloon the robber called for a drink, and was just lifting it to his lips when an American fired a shot that out the plume of the brigand’s hat. The drink was never taken, but Joaquin, after wounding the American in the arm and another man in the abdomen, galloped away without a soratch. After three years of this bloodv work by Joaquin’s baud the California legislature authorized Harry Lave and twenty rangers to equip themselves for tbo capture of the robbers. Their trail waa followed closely and the Mexicans were found in comp near Tejon Bass. Hlx of them wore seated round a small Are, where breakfast was cooking, while tbe seventh, he qf tbe slender figure and graoeful limbs, and large black eyes and long black hair, a perfect Apollo, richly dressed, blooming in the pride of health and manly beauty, was washing down a superb bay _orse at a little distance from tbe fire. Joaquin was well known to the rangers, wh i dashed into tb* camp before they were dis covered and succeeded in cutting the robbers off from their horses. Capt. Lave rode up to tbe one standing by his horse, and in quired whitber they wero going. “To Los Angeles," the chief replied. Turning to one of the others, the captain put the same qestion, when an entirely different answer was returned. Joaquin bit his lip and spoke up angrily. “I command here; address yourself to me.” He then moved a few steps toward tbe fire, around which lay the saddles, blankets and arms of the party. He was ordered to Btop, and whoa he did not heed Lave told him to stand or he would shoot. The chief tossed his hair back soornfully, while his eyes blazed with tbe lightnings of his wrath, and, stepping backward, he stood again by the Bide of his handsome steed, his jewelled hand resting lightly on his mane. At this criti cal moment Lieut- Byrnes, with whom Joaquin was well acquainted, moved up, nnd Joaquin, realizing that the game was up, called out to his followers to save them splvee as best they oould, and threw him self upon his charger without saddle or brltldle, nnd aped down the mountain like a tempest. He loaped his horse over a precipice, when he fell, but was on his feet, again in a moment, and, remounting, the daring rider dashed on. Close at his heels came the rangers, firing as they rode, and soon the gallaut steed fell to tbe earth, and Joaquin ran on afoot. Three balls pierced his body and made an end to tbe bloody-handed robber. Satisfaction Is guaranteed to every one who takes Hood’s Sarsaparilla fairly and according to direc tions.

THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 2,5, 1892* PICTURES OF HADES. HOW SOME CHRISTIANS EXER CISED THEIR IMAGINATIONS. Tbe Tortures of the Damned Described With Words That Caused Terror Among the Sinners—lneffable Misery Was Portrayed. From tbe Pittsburg Dispatch. In one of bis moral essays Pope speaks of a “soft dean.” who never mentioned hell to "ears polite,” and adds, in a note, “This is a fact." The “soft dean" appears from the Guardian of March 81, 1713, to have been an eminent divine, “most ex actly well bred," who told his congrega tion at Whitehall that if they did not "vouchsafe to give thofr lives a new turn they must certainly go to a place which he did not think fit to name in that courtly audience.” Many Christian writers, says the Fall Mall Budget, have been less delicate than Swift’s dean, and have condescended to details with both definiteness and unotion. From the pictures which these amiable divines have drawn of the torture* of the damned James Mew makes an effective mosaic in the Nineteenth Century: It has been proved over and over again, Mr. Mew remarks, by others besides Jerome and Tertuliiaa that the Are of hell is a terri ble reality; that it is corporeal material; that its constituents are probably sulphur and fluid pitch. The sulphur stinks. This is satisfactorily shown by quite a swarra of learned authorities. Infidel quibhliugs have been easily quasbed. How can incorporeal spirits be burned! Answer: By inoorporeal fire. How can material bodies be burned for ever! Answer: By the analogues of the asbestos and tbe salamander, or again by a certain salting autiseptio virtue, or again by an omnipotent implanting in the fire of a certain f rce which burns hut consume* not. SATAN HAD HORNS LIKE A GOAT. Cmsarius, a Cistercian of Ileisterbach, says that in a town called Entbeniob, in Bonu, a certain Walter when aick saw Hatan, with a face like a monkey and goat’s horns. W alter ask him about tbe fate of his late master, Count William of Juiiers. "You know,” replied the demon, "ths dis trict between Woikenburgand Dracbenfels. in faith, I tell you that if that district and those mountains were both made of iron and set In that place where the soul of your master now is, they would be molten antequam ruperciHum tuperius inferiori junai posset— in a word, before you could wink.” Tbe color of hell fire is probably a lurid green, no light but rather darkness visible. There is cold in bell, but no water. It la not improbable that there are corporeal worms, in tbe sense of serpents, and immortal, of which some say they are as thick as the rushes on the floor. There iB no clock in hell. Bridaine represents a tortured being rising from his bed of appalling agooy, arid asking, Wbat is the time! And a dull voice out of the darkness answers, Eternity I In the very entranoe and gate of Dante’s bell (quite a characteristic fourteenth cen tury one) are nlaoed the apathetic, the in different in spiritual things, a neutral soci ety, while on earth, in the matter of reli gious good and evil, whloh now fills the air with sighs and lamentations, an air stained by solid darkness and unpierced by the light of any star. Then In the first clrole or limbo the unbaptized, among whom is Virgil him self, desire without hope. SCENES THAT DANTE PJCTCHKD. In the second are cernal sinners tossed by warring winds where light Is silent. In the third gluttons bitten by Cerberus) are exposed in a stinking land to storms of hail. In the third|are the prodigal and the miser, each pushing a heavy weight up a bi.l with hit breast. In the fifth ure the irascible under the foul and tepid slime of tbe Btygiau lake. In the sixth aroh-heretios smart and agonize in tombs of flame. In the seventh tbe violent swim in rivere of blood, suioides are changed into gnarled trees and blasphemers writhe under a rain of tire. In the eighth, or Malebolge, are simonists with tbeir heads downward in euunl and circular holes, prophets with their faces re versed—both of these punishments are prob ably new and original—public peculators In a lake of boiling pitch, hypocrites under gilded hoods of lead, sacreligists stung by serpents, schlsmatioa, among whom it Ma hamrned, with malned limbs, alchemists, forgers and impostors, among them Ulysses, the hero of the Homerio poem, tbe victims of varied disease. In the ninth circle, which corresponds to tho seventh or nether most Moslem hell, A1 Eawlyah, which, 'being interpreted, is the place of precipi tous descent, the hell of bypooritee, the worst, the frozen, traitors are fitly placed; and among these, blue pinched, shrouded in ioe, and chattering ilka storks, are to be found the most fatuous of that crafty orew, Lucifer and Judas. AT THIS BOTTOM OK CHAOS. Milton’s boll is situated at the bottom of Chaos. Its description is, in short, an ant artlc region of fire and ice, of dire hail and over-burning sulphur. Its distance from heaven is thres semi-diameters of our mun dane system. The stature of Balan reaches the sky. Four infernal rivers are intro duced from tbe pagan theology. In this geographical view Lethe is also included. On the other side of the flood of oblivion is a frozen continent' Hither all the damned are haled by harpy-footed Furies from beds of fire to pine in ice. The gates of hell are guarded by Death and Bin in forms too well known to need descrip tion. By these ideal architects a long bridge is built from hell to to the “utmost orbs of this frail world,” which being in terpreted by Masson, is tbe uttermost oircle of tbe starry sphere. Milton’s torments are more poetio, but less painful, we may suppose, than those of the Christian fathers. An original idea of bell was tbe reeult of the speculative Inquiries of Jean Ha-douln. This most learned fool, as he has been some what Impolitely called by Feiguot, among the Jesuits, was a contemporary of Pina montl. Ho maintained that the rotation of the earth was duo to the efforts of the damned to escape from their central fire. Climbing up the walls of hell, they caused tbe earth to revolve as a squirrel its cage or a dog the split. BODIES BURKED BUT NOT CONSUMED. From the description of hell by Jonathan Edwards, that sturdy theologian, one sen tence will probably be found more than sufficient: “Your bodies, which shall hare been burning all this while in these glowing flames, shall not have been consumed, but will remain to roost through eternity!” But still, even according to this amiable ecclesiastic, the damned will have one satis faction. It is an ill wind that blows no body good, and theirs will be the unselfish consolation of refloating tnat tbe sight of tho hell torments which they suffer will exalt the happiness of the saints forever; for it will make them “ more sensible of it, it will give then a more lively relish of it,” Parents will soe their children,children their parents, wives their husbands, and husbands their wives, in ineffabla agoDy, and prize their own felicity the more—“a Bense of the op posite misery in all cases greatly increases the relish of anv joy.” Of devils, Oulielmus Farisiensis hasfound on an exuct computation that there are 14,435,556, but it has been said that they vastly exceed that number. Their external forms and internal characteristics have been minutely described. Their bodies are not terrestrial, but, according to the church scholastics, something analogous. John Wier, a physician of Cleves, convinced that this world is peopled by crowds of devils, wrote in 1576 a book of some th mssnd f"lio pages, which is one of our r -f sources of information on the subjee.. •> makes la princes Of devils with 7,4L , i,..'2i subjects.

Wby the Btaells Fired by a Certain Union Bhip Did Not Burst. From Frank Leslie's Weekly. Porhaps the most amusing part of the bombardment of Corpus Christ! affair was the way in which many of the confederates obtained a good drink of whisky. Numbers 'of the shells did not explode, one falling in a field belonging to an old German; ho looked at it long and covetously. Game was plenty, powder was scarce, aud this shell must have many pounds in its capacious sphere. How to possess it was the ques tion. If ha tried to drill out the fuse the bomb might explode, and he would lose not only the powder but his life. Seeing an old darky approaching, lie bailed him and with a few cents induced him to undertake tbe job. Giving him implements and a vessel to hold tfco powder, ho retired to his house, fearing an accident and not wishing to be held accountable. In a short time the negro appeared: “Dey ain’t no powder dere, sah; dis am whisky.” The German could hardly believe his eyos, but it certainly looked Ilka whisky— and it smelt like whisky—but taste it he would not, for it might bo poisoned; still, it was too rare to lose and—old Joe would not count —he would try it on him! He poured out a good cupful and gave it with the money to the negro. The man drank and smacked his lips. “Dat’s fine licker, boss; I’se 'bilged to you, mightily,” and he went off feeling the better for his potation. It was strong, for he was soon “drunk as a lord.” After a sleep he awoke to tell the story of his discovery, with the effect that there was an Immediate search for bombs; ten were opened aid tte contents helped to make convivial the celebration of the worst- ing of the fleet. Later event* brought the explanation of how the United States came to use whisky as ammunition instead of powder. Flower Bluff, fifteen mties from "Cor pus,” as the town is called “for short,” Is a great hunting ground, and during the war, as now, people resorted here for that pur pose—notably Capt. Kitredge of the United Ntates navy. Southern troops were too few to spare them for unimportant points; so he could with impuulty sail around tbe bay at pleasure, land at the bluff, and there hunt, and buy butter, milk and eggs from an old farmer who lived there. This he did nearly every other day, until at last the man came to town for supplies and told how the captain patronized him. Ware’s cavalry at once proceeded there, hid their horses In the sand hills and themselves in the house, and when Kitredge aud seven men landed they took them prisoners. They also at tempted to capture the stoam launch and three men who manned it, but these escaped back to the fleet with the news. The pris oners were taken to Corpus Christi and were given the freedom of the town. Col. Hobby allowed Capt. Kitredge to send a boat to his flagship and procure all the lux uries he desired. Once when these two were taking dinner together and enjoying some of the northerner’s fine liquor, the southern commander told the tale of the whisky In the bombs. Kitredge listened attentively and then laughed long and merrily. “I can account,” said he, "for the milk In the cocoanut —or, rather, the whisky ia the shell. Some little time before the bombardment a barrel of my best Bourbon disappeared. I oould find no trace of it, yet regularly after watch the men were found to be smelling of liquor. No one knew where it came from, how they got it, where they kept it' but liquor they had, that was sure. You have given the explanation; they must have drawn the charges from the shells that were piled on deck and filled them with the stuff, drink ing it when on watch. Evidently their store was not exhausted when 1 used the sheila I now comprehend why they would not explode—a fact which puzzled me at a _ a: tl tbe time.” There is still one of theso shells in Ccrpus Christ!, and the gentleman through whose house it fell keeps it, unopened, as a relic of the days whan the town was under fire.
