CONCERNING THE GENERAL. Something About the Famous Old War Engine- ONE OF ITS BUILDERS DIES- Tablets Markin* Its Abandonment and Its Capture Have Been Erec ted on the W <St A. Railroad. Ringgold New South. Most people in Chattanooga are familiar with the history and a great many with the personal ap pearance of “The General,” the historic locomotive engine which figured so prominently in what has passed into history as the “An drews Raid.” But few are aware that one of the builders of the fa mous piece of machinery has just passed to his reward, or, indeed, who the builder was. His name was George Fischer, and he was a native of Hesse Darmstadt, Ger many, born in 1823. He came to This country in 1854 and settled in Atlanta, which place he made his home up to the time of his death, a few weeks ago, at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. R. C. Rosche, of 402 Houston street, that city. He was employed in the carpen tering department of the Western & Atlantic railroad and was in that department when the war be tween the states began. He built the cab of the “General,” and after the engine became famous he watched her with great solicitude, and was familiar with evety inci dent in her career. Just a few weeks before the death of Mr. Fischer the Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis railroad, the lessees of the Western & At lantic, fixed upon the site and erected two monuments to mark the place of capture and abandon ment of the “General.” The en gine itself was brought to that city and permanently located in the Union depot, where it is viewed daily by many interested in the history of the trying days of the war. The monument to mark the site of the capture of the locomo tive is at B'g Shanty, as it was called, near Kennesaw mountain. The place of abandonment, now marked in marble and bronze, is at Ringgold. 011 the monument at Kennesaw is the following inscription, in bronze letters: “This tablet marks the spot at which the locomotive, •General,’ was captured by Andrews’ raiders on the morning of April 12th, 1862. “Captain Jas. J. Andrews, with nineteen volunteers from Siilis Brigade, Mitchel’s Corps, U. S. A., captured the‘General’ at Big vShan ty, April 12th, 1862, while the train crew and passengers were taking breakfast. The purpose of the capture was to destroy the Bridges on the Western & Atlantic railroad. Conductor W. A. Fuller, accompanied by Engineer Jeff Cain and Anthony Murphy, fore* man of the W. and A. shops, com menced pursuit on foot. They soon secured a hand car, and in spite of the obstruction placed on the track by Andrews’ raiders, made rapid progress. They found the engine ‘Yonah’ at Etowah and the pursuit then was at such a rapid pace that serious damage to the railroad by the raiders was im possible. The ‘General’ was aban doned by the raiders on account of lack of fuel and the close pursuit of Conductor Fuller and his party.” On the monument at Ringgold, vvljere the engine was abandoned, appears the following: “This tablet marks the spot at which the locomotive ‘General’ was abandoned by Andrews’ raiders, on account of the pursuit of Conduc tor W. A. Fuller and train crew,on the afternoon of April 12th, 1862." Then follows the names of those engaged in the raid, those who were hung in Atlanta, those who BEST FOR THE BOWELS If you haven’t a regular, healthy movement of the bowels every flay, you’re ill or will be.

LEAVE TRAIL OF BLOOD- Their Stilettos Flash and They Al most Wipe Out an Entire Family. South Danville, O .July 26.-One of the bloodiest affrays in the his tory of \VAst Virginia “Pan Han dle,” occurred at Wheeling Junction tonight and three Italians left a trail of blood behind their knives, almost wiping out au entire family. The dead are: Jacob Eidenaur, aged 80 years, stabbed in the heart. Wm Eidenaur, son, left jugular vein cut and stabbed in the heart. The injured are: Robert Eidenaur, son, cut in both arms. Philip Eidenaur, son, stabbed over the eyes, in the breast and on the leg, may die. Mrs. Jacob Eidenaur. aged 80, stabbed in left side may die. Mrs Philip Eideuaur, of Stub enville, savs she and her husband, with their baby, were visiting Mr. Eidenaur’s parents, and when they were leaving the old people’s home the father’s family went up on the main road to see them off. Three Italians, part of the gang working on the railroad, came along and one of them said something to Rob ert Eidenaur who called them a vulgar name. The three Italians then flashed stilettos, killed the father and William almost instant ly; cut Phillip frightfully and after stabbing Mrs. Robert Eidenaur, fled. The girl is the mother of the wo man just as “the boy is the father of the man.” The period when the womanly functions begin is one to be carefully watched and con sidered.

Be*M the x? Thß Kind Vw Haw Always Bought CARBUNCLES JSSb AND BOILS if? SYMPTOMS OF BAD BLOOD : |J There is a popular belief that every boil is worth many times its weight in gold, and the sufferer /|pF Jf patiently, even cheerfully, endures the pain under the W : : \Jy mistaken idea that these little tormentors are health |T \\n^ promoters; that they thin the blood when too thick, % and cleanse and cool it when too hot or too rich. On the contrary, boils and carbuncles are evidence of blood poverty, or a fearfully depraved condition of that fluid. | /& // There may be no external evidence of bad blood until | // ///fz, the warm days of spring set in motion the sluggish I J/ Jf ft J / circulation and the pent-up impurities, unable to escape j Jf through the natural outlets, gather near the surface of the skin, and a Carbuncle or a Boil is the result. When the blood is burdened with an undue amount of this impure matter, the Boils come in greater number, eat deeper into the surrounding flesh, and, being nearly always located on a bed of nerves, cause the most intense suffering. Robust and apparently healthy people are subject to Boils, and there is always some hidden agency at work within the blood and system that will eventually undermine the health, but those whose constitutions are broken down by previous sickness or other causes, are most often the unhappy victims of Boils and Carbuncles. Exposure to the deadly malaria destroys the red corpuscles and reduces the blood to such a weak and watery condition that it succumbs to the boil-producing poisons, and the pale and sallow DANGEROUS CARBUNCLES. Mr. J. B. Scott, a resident of Hazel hurst, Miss., writes: “S. S. S. cured a malignant carbuncle on my neck which the doctors had been unable to bring to a head. As soon as I began to use S. S. S.

To seek relief from the inflammation and pain produced by these terrifying erup tions through the application ©f local remedies h natural and right, but this method of treatment does not prevent others coming, or bring the slightest relief to the disease-burdened, deeply poisoned blood. Only a thorough regeneration and building up of the depreciated blood can bring about a lasting cure of Carbuncles and Boils and prevent their reappearance. S. S. S. restores to the old blood all its lost properties, re-invigorating and giving it the healthy red color that only pure, fresh blood can have, and through this new blood strength and vigor comes to the bodily organs; the skin resumes its functions, and impurities of whatever character are taken If up and filtered out of the system in nature’s way.
