The soul of Miss Mary Toombs Harde
man Takes Its Flight.
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.

STILL ANOTHER TRAIN ROBBERY.
Tmu Desperadoes Hold up a Train and
Get Thousands of Dollars.
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.

Berlin, Sept. 2.—It is reported

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

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.

THEY MEET MONDAY
And will Elect Three Dispensary Com
mtssloners.
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
