In the early hours of yesterday morn on the slopes of historic Lookout Moun tain, the grim reaper gathered in one of Georgia’s choicest and most beloved flowenand transplanted it beyond the changing scenes of earth to bloom eter nal in the land beyond the skies. Around the bedside of a fair young lady, upon whose once rosy cheeks the pallor of death was fast gathering,stood a loving father and mother, a gentle aunt and a Jdevoted -brother. They were Judge and Mrs Sam Harde man, Mrs. J. W. Brumby and Mr. Frank Hardeman, and the struggle they were undergoing was the giving up of one who was the idol of their hearts. For three weeks, she had suffered from typhoid fever, pain and anguish had wrung her brow, but at four o’clock rest came to the tired frame, and tbe pure soul, free from earthly moorings, soared upward to the great white throne. Miss Mary Toombs Hardeman was dead. God’s finger touched her and she slept.” “No sleep so beautiful, so free from trace of pain or anguish. She seemed a creature fresh from the band of God and waiting for the breath of life.” Sorrow sits around many a hearth stone to-day as tbe relatives and friends who knew her and loved her in life re flect that she has gone from among.tbcm forevermore. .Not only in tbe borne across which has been thrown the shadow of afflic tion ; not only among tbe relatives who loved her as a kiuswoman; but all over Georgia with the friends who had ap preciated the pleasure of her charming company, wih the severity of the blow be felt. In Athens, there are hundreds of hearts that are sad as their thoughts gather around that flower-covered cas ket that to-day will be lowered by lov ing bands beneath the sod of Wilkes county. Mias Mary Toombs Hardeman was the only daughter of Judge Samuel H. Hardeman,Jof Washington, and Mrs. Julia Toombs Hardeman, and grand-daugbter of Mr. Gabriel Toombs, a brother of General Robert Toombs. She was in ber twentieth year, pos sessed of a beauty of form and feature and a grace and ease of manner that were the outward symbols of the pure and gentle soul that dwelled within Her numerous friends in Athens, now that tbe angel of death has stilled the gentle heart, love to recall her pres ence in their midst from time to time, the genial manner in which she always met them and the pleasant words she always had to speak. To the grief-stricken parents and sorrowing relatives go oat the sympa thies of many an Athenian heart, tbe sincere trust that God in his own ap pointed way will sooth arid solace them in this supreme hour of sadness. And as Christ came to the believing u.iri “the maid - is not dead, bat sleepeth,” so may He come to them with blest assurance that they will meet their loved one beyond the stars. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 2.—[Special.]— There was an important railroad bill in* troduced in the house yesterday ahd it was marked “by request.” »Mr. Pope, of Oglethorpe, introduced the measure, and it is .understood that Col. L. F. Livingston is .its author. The bill is entitled an act to carry into effect paragraph 4 of section ;2 of article 4 of the constitution of the State In regard to combinations of rail roads inten Jed to defeat or lessen com petition, to define what contracts and agreements are contrary to same, to pro tect the people of the State against monopoly and secure the benefits o* competition. The work before the bonse this morn ing was tbe discussion of a bill provid ing for an amendment to article 3, sec tion 7, paragraph 18 of the constitu tion. Tbe amendment strikes out the words “except banking, insurance, railroad, eanal, navigation, express and tele graph companies, V and adds to tbe end of the section the following: “All cor porate powers and privileges in bank ing, insurance, railroad, canal, naviga tion, express and telegraph companies shall be issued and granted by the sec retary of state in such a manner] as shall be prescribed by law.” This takes away tbe power ef granting charters from the general assembly. Mr. Whitfield, of Baldwin, opposed tbe bill. He thought too much power was being vested in one man. Mr. Fleming, of Richmond, favored “Asleep in Jesno, Mowed sleep.

Del Rio, Sept. 2.—Telegraphic news from Samuels, Texas, a small station on the Southern Pacific railway, located in a thinly settled section of this oounty, gives a thrilling account of a daring train robbery committed by mounted men at that place shortlp after mid night. Dynamite and Winchesters were need as a means of intimidating the express messenger and gaining en trance into his car. All the money and valuables in the safe in the express car was secured by the robbers as well as several sacks of mail and a registered package from the mail car. The amount ot- money ob tained cannot be learned, but it will doubtless reach into the tensofthon- The train was just pulling out from the stvtion when six masked men simultaneonsly mounted the engine, mail ear and express car, two men for each of these positions. Over forty shots were fired, literally perforating the baggage and express car without injury to any one, when an unexpected mode of procedure was adopted that of exploding a dynamite cartrade against a small window in the express car. The effect of this was to tear the window oat and otherwise damage toe car. The express messen ger was stunned, bat recovered in few hours only to be overpowered tbe robbers and made to give up I safe key. The robbeis took their time in doing the job, and with an exhibition of great nerve. Horses were in readiness for them and on the completion of their work the bandits rode rapidly away, and are now in Mexioo, beyond the reach of the authorities. The sherig of this was Telegraped to secure a posse and give pursuit. A ro of $250.00 per capita being offered for the capture of the robbers. ibarf. fa American Hex to En*er Hi Berlin, Sept. 2.—It is reported Hamburg that all restrictions on Amer ican pork will be removed. United States Minister Phelps when questioned upon the subject, refused to confirm toe report, but said he would repeat what he Bald six months ago to too effect that the American hog would en ter the Braden burg gate before this year’s acorns felL It is known, how ever, that Mr. Phelps in his last dis patch to the German Foreign Office, in timated plainly to the officials of that department that the patience of Presi dent Harrison and Mr. Blaine would not last beyond September. A MAMMOTH REWARD New Yobk, Sept. 1.—Colonel J. B. Montgomery, of Oregon, has just re turned from Germany and while at the Fifth Avenue hotel, he was asked about the crop failure fa Europe, and said: The crop failure in Europe is general, and distress is sure to follow. I was all over Germany and saw that the rain had mined the wheat and rye. In Ger many there will bo.a shortage in the grain .crop of 33 per cent., or just 1,009,- 000,000 bushels. The empire generally produces 240,- 000,000 bushels of rye and 80,000,000 bushels of wheat annually. With the great falling off mentioned the people will have to look to this country for re lief. Russia is short qqd can’t supply Germany, and France is not much bet ter off. The potato crop in continental Europe has been more or less a failure, aud the people look with longing eyes toward America. I am not a specula tor in grain, but I predict that by Christmas wheat in this country will sell at $1.50 i>er bushel, owing to the great demand in Europe. A GOOD WORK.

The city council will elect the three commissioners for the dispensary next Monday afternoon at their regular monthly meeting. And the public will then know who will be iu obarge of tbe new experi ment. # There has been a multiplicity of names suggested for tbe place, and it is hard to even predict who will be select ed, but if they will serve, the favorite ticket seems to be Judge A. S. Erwin, Jndge G. C. Thomas and Capt. John W. Brumby. It Is not known whether these gentlemen would serve if elected, but it is certain that their election would be pleasing .to toe citizens of Athens. There are otheis mentioned, too, who would be equally acceptable to toe people. When the commissioners are elected they will proceed to name the mana ger. There are plenty of applicants for t he position, in fact tbe woods are full of them, but they don’t know who will be the electing body yet and conse quently don’t know who to pounce down on for a vote.
