the chagrin of the crowd it persisted in
going back to sugar. This is easily ex

REV. SAAI JONES TilE BIGGEST BLIZ
ZARD THAT EVER STRUCK
OMAHA AND AS HARD
TO HANDLE.
A Carelesss and Irreligious City Is Stirred
to Its Foundation by the Great
Southern Evangelist.
Special to The Courant.]
Omaha, Neb., Nov. 24, 1886. —“Uncle
Max” is a few days behind with his usual
letter for your readers, but when I tell
you that I hav’e been behind a big snow
bank and almost snowed in since last
Monday night, it will in part excuse for
this delay. We haA’e had a regular west
ern blizzard this week. It began snow
ing Monday night, continued for two
days, with the wind blowing at the rate
of thirty-five miles per hour, drifting the
snow in many places to the heighth of
second stories of many buildings, entirely
stopping all traffic for Tuesday and
Wednesday, and the trains upon all roads
were blocked for Wednesday, not be
ing able to leave the city befoie
Thursday evening. Many people said,
“this is the first blizzard Ave ever had so
early in the season, and certainly was
gotton up to show Rev. Sam Jones what
the West could do when it tried.” Rev.
Sam Jones says: “I have often read of
the wild West, but I can begin to realize
it now.” This, however, was soon over,
and the remaining days of the Aveek have
been extremely pleasant, with the finest
looking sleighing your correspondent
ever saw. As I haA’e not been in a sleigh
I cannot testify how good it is, but one
tiling I know, the bells are a reminder
that others are enjoying it, and your
“Uncle Max” takes it all in from his tine
view out of the window of “The Pax
ton.” To-day is quite a so ft one, and one
realizes the uncertainty of the AA’estern
footing. The sun has shown its great
power, and the result is, slush and mud,
and sometimes the ground will meet you,
the next moment you imagine you are a
stranger on strange land, not feeling
quite as comfortable as you did a feAV
moments before. The only satisfaction
is, you have found the softest spot in
Omaha, and no one knows you, neither
do you care, nor do you Avant them to,
until you have re-arranged your toilet.
Imagine poor old “Uncle Max” in such a
fix. T am last becoming acquainted with
the ways of Western navigation, and
.with what you undergo at times. No
bones were broken, and have fully re
covered, and am somewhat initiated, as
well as acclimated. I think I am fully
prepared to meet #ie demands of Ne
braska blizzards.
The Jones revival work is stiring up
the whole city, from its very foundation.
Under ordinary circumstances the bliz
zard would have captured the attention
of all hands, but your Georgia preacher
lias proven himself a bigger blizzard than
any that has ever visited Omaha, and i3
as hard to handle. So say many that
have tried both. He has held the fort
from the beginning, and is still pouring
hot shot and shell into the enemy with
powerful rapidity, with good results, and
many an old sinner comes out of his bid
ing place, with arms up, carrying the
white flag and surrenders. The Rev.
Sam Jones makes it warm for all. Such
telling wor 13 never have been spoken in
Omaha, and the p?ople have begun to
realize that there is one man in America
that can open the eyes ot Omaha upon
the matter of religion. For its size, I
think that Omaha cares less for religion
than any city 1 ever visited. True, many
a good Christian you And here, and some
of the most devoted ones one ever meets,
but the majority seem to be unconcerned
and careless, a kind of “I-don’t-caro,”
when the subject of salvation is dis
cussed. In other words, are perfectly
carried away with societj" pleasures of
the nineteenth century. However, the
exposition building is crowded nightly,
and the Rev. Sam Jones, after two
weeks’ hard labor, has been instrumental
in bringing souls to Christ, and awaken
ing all church goers, so that thousands
have expressed their intention of living
the ten commandments from this time
forward. The one great sight for the
people of Omaha was to see about 8,000
men at the Sunday night meeting. Never
were so many men gathered at a religions
service in this city before, and the little
Georgia preacher captured the whole
crowd by his magnetic words, and at the
conclusion of his sermon the invitation
was given, “all who desire tolive a better
life, and will commence from to night,
stand up,” the vast audience arose. Such
a sight I never saw, and thousands went
from the meeting “happy on the way.”
Next week I look for the greatest results
that have ever followed the labors of
Rev. Sam Jones, and that too, in the city
of Omaha, wherein it is said the devil has
a greater hold upon the people than any
city of its size in the United States.
“Praise God from whom all blessings
flow.” Weil can the people of Omaha
praise Him for sending the Rev. Sam P.
Jones here.
Thanksgiving day will be a great day
of thanks lor many in this city.
Letter No. 6 will be a special Thanks
giving one. I trust the many readers of the
Courant will not forget “Uncle Max,” as
they are seated around the well filled ta
bles. If I cannot be with some of you to
give thanks, I deem it a great pleasure to
be remembered. I shall never forget the
many pleasant hours and happy times in
Cartersville. God bless the people of
Bartow county. ‘-Uncle Max.”

THE GIRL OF TO-DAY.
Castroville, (Tex.) Anvil )
If there is anything we know’ less
about than Ave think we do it is the girl;
and ot this the girl is glad, for there is
nothing she hates to be known about her
so had as the truth.
We have been acquainted with her for
a long time and watched her pranks from
afar, seen her cut the “pigeon-wing” and
knock tlie “back-step” in tire back yard,
when she thought she had no spectator;
but still we don’t knoAv her.
From the time she is big enough to
swing on the gate and tie a ribbon in a
double bow-knot, she begins to locate a
sweetheart, and she keeps tills up until
he is located in the back yard, exercising
his talents dissecting stove wood.
She may be a little dull on mathemat
ics, but invariably soh'es the problem of
putting a No 5 foot in a No. 3 shoe.
She will wear out two old dresses run
ning around to find out howto make a
new one in the latest style.
She will break the point of her broth
er’s knife making a crack (o peep at
strangers when they come vi-iiing.
She will greet you wiili the most be
witching smile and laugh at your stupid
ness when you are gone.
She will walk three blocks out of the
way to get a peep at her beau, and then
pass by without looking at him.
She will talk with you tw r o hours
without being able to repeat a word you
have said, but will know how long you
have worn your duds and how many
burtons have lost their grip.
She will attend church, listen Avith
absorbed interest to eloquent and pathet
it sermons, then return home and expa
tiate upon the horrible fit of Mrs. Se
nc.v’s neAV basque.
She w ill go to the table, mince over
delicacies with the mod fastidious taste,
then slip back in the kitchen and eat a
raw potato.
She will wear out her last pair of shoes
dancing all day, then attend a ball at
night and complain of being out of prac

She aa’i 11 spend all night writing a care
fully worded ’etfer, in the most precise
hand, to her Simon Suggs, then scratch
off a page to her sister tiiat Old Harry
couldn’t read.
She wiil be the most devout creature
on earth, and hate the earth that Sallie
Grimes walks on.
She will he industrious and economical
for a month, then spend her savings for a

She will slouch around the house for a

A PRIZE.
Another lottery wave passed over
New Orleans last Tuesday, and in its
course stiuck Mr. Adolph L. Beltran,
son of our well known fellow citizen, li.
Beltran, esq , commit si >n merchant on
Decatur street.
The blow was a severe one, and it
struck Adolth so unexpectedly that lie
lias not entirely recovered his senses,
though in possession of more cents than
he ever had in the course of his check
ered career. ’
On Wednesday, with a dollarous ex
pression in his eye, he visited the ollloe
of the Louisiana Slate Lottery company,
and inquired for the root doctor. This
singular inquiry excited the curiosity of
the office, and lie was invited to a scat in
the left-hand ward.
His pulse being felt, an extraordinary
contraction of the muscles of the digits
of his right hand was discerned. On re
ducing the same, a lottery ticket was re
vealed, bearing the number 91,552. A
quick diagnosis of hit case was made.
The Lottery wave had given him, in the
drawing on Nov. 9, for a one-dollar in
vestment, the sum of fifteen thousand
dollars.
The “root of all evil,” in the form of
very hard cash was at once administered,
and Mr. Beltran’s singular inquiry was
explained.
In a pleasant chat with the writer, the
fortunate holder who is apparently 21
years of age staged that he is a native of
New Orleans, and is now w’orking in the
laboratory of the Ifianters’ Sugar Refin
ery, learning the business under Mr.
John Reynolds, and that the sudder. ac
cumulation of wealth will in no way af
fect his resolution to master his adopted
profession.—New Orleans (La.) Picay

MUTUAL, DEPENDENCE,

Division of sentiment in local matters
insures an active investigation after the
underlying principles of truth and equi
ty. But such differences should never
assume the proportions of bitter partisan
quarrels.
A community is an aggregation of in
dustrial members with the same charac
ter of those existing between members
of a family. There is a community of
interests, each individual, in a measure,
dependent upon his neighbor. There
are reciprocal duties due by and to each.
Especially should each individual
recognize the duties he owes to the com
munity. He should discharge faithfully
and to the best of his ability every obli
gation of citizenship. He should be just
before he is generous. Obey the laws
in a spit it of reverence for their author
ity. He should manifest a lively inter
est in everything, progressive or re
formatory, that concerns the public
weal. Every citizen should inter a
serious ptotest against the communica
tion of any act oi injustice, either pub
lic or private.
A community is nothing more than a
collection of individuals, w hose interests
are interwoven, and whatever reflects
upon the community reflects equally
upon its members, and whatever affects
the public interests has a marked effect
upon the interest of individual mem
bers.
We are ali dependent one upon the
other for pleasure and profit, and a just
appreciation of this mutual dependence
will enforce a strict conformity of the

INTO A FRATRICIDE ANO SUICIDE.
Tlie Terrible and Tragic Death of Bob
and Tony Hill ill Atlanta.
A terrible tragedy was enacted in At
lanta FiMay last about noon, by which
two brothers met their death. The fol
lowing is a condensed account of the
frightful affair, taken from the Constitu
tion of the‘27th insf.:
Bob Hill, the well known young law
yer, shot his brother Tony to death yes
terday afternoon about half past twelve
o’clock in their sleeping apartment, at
42 l o North Broad street, and tlve minutes
later took his own life with the same pis
tol.
The tragedy was tiie most ghastly and
horrible ever enacted in Atlanta.
Bob and Tony Hill were as extensively
known as any two young men in Atlan
ta. They were the only sons of the Hon.
D. P. Hill, and were born and raised in
this State. They were both popular
throughout the city, and in less than ten
minutes after Bob had fired the fatal
shots the tragedy was known all over the
city, and great crowds were beseiging
the building in which the bodies oi the
brothers were lying in pools of their life
blood.
WHERE THE TRAGEDY HAPPENED,
The building in which the murder and
suicide happened is anew two-story
brick on west side of North Broad
slreet, near the junction of Broad, Peach
tree and Buckie streets. The lower floor
was once osed by Burt Lovejoy for a sa
loon, but since prohibition went into ef
fect it has been vacant. The stairway
leading to the second floor is within the
walls of the building and terminates in a
large hallway. In the front portion of
the building are two rooms, and on the
north side are two more. The rear of the
building is divided into two rooms,similar
to those in the front, and it was in one of
the rear rooms that the two brothers died.
The room is the one directly in front’of
the stairway, and is about fifteen feet
square. It was
FURNISHED NEATLY AND COMFORTABLY,
but not extravagantly. A bed, a dressing
case, a bookcase, a wardrobe, a wash
stand, some chairs, a couple of tables
and some pictures made up the contents
ot the room.
One of the front rooms is occupied by
Mamie Johnson or Mamie Biker, and the
rear room next to the one occupied by
the Hill brothers, is occupied by E. B.
Stanley, bookkeeper lor. the Hunnicutt
Rheumatic Cure Company; and as far as
can be ascertained these two were the
only persons in the building at the time
the fratricide and suicide took place, but
neither of them know anything about it
except that they heard the shots.
Tony Hill had boon drinking heavily
for some days past, and tiie night before
the tragedy Bob began drinking also.
When sober the boys werekind and lov
ing to each other, but the reverse was
the case when they was- mitler the influ
ence of liquor.
FIVE PISTOL SHOTS.
About 10 o’clock Bob Hill was seen on
the street near the Lovejoy building.
He was then apparently under the influ
ence of liquor, and was going toward the
building in which he roomed. This Was
the last seen of him alive. About the
same time Tony Hill was seen on Ma
rietta street. A short time before twelve
o’clock Tony went to the room, and as
ho passed from the street into the stair
way met a friend, to whom he said:
“I want to go up and straighten Bob
out.”
With this remark he passed from
sight, and when next seen was dead.
Soon after twelve o’clock E. B. Stan
ley went to his room, and in a short time
walked out and across Peachtree street.
He was gone a few minutes only, but
during that time
FOUR PISTOL SHOTS WERE FIRED
in rapid succession. The woman, who
was alone on the floor, opened the door
after the shooting ceased and looked out
into the hallway. She felt certain that
the shooting had occurred in the Ilill
brother’s room, and after waiting a sec
ond or two stepped out into the hail way.
Just then Mr. Stanley came up the steps,
followed by a boy with his dinner, and
as he reached the top step the woman
said:
“Mr. Stanley, the Hill boj-3 are shoot
ing at each other again. I counted
five shots just a minute ago.”
Just then another shot rang out in the
room, and instantly a dull, heavy jar was
felt by the man and woman in the hall
way, just such a jar as considerably agi
tated those two people, they sent for po
lice officers who responded at once. They
were unable to force the door, but by
the aid of a table and a chair, they peer
ed through the transom, and after some
effort the officers eyes were greeted by the
terrible spectacle of two men lying in
their life’s blood upon the floor. The
Constitution thu3 describes the scene in
the room when the door was finally
opened by the officers.
Upon tlie floor at their feet they dis
covered Tony Hill lying flat upon his
back. His face was smeared with blood
and his hands dyed the same red color.
11 is head was just behind the door and
his feet near ttiecorner of the room. He
was fully dressed, and his hat even be
ing upon his head. Across his
FEET WAS LYING HIS BROTHER 808 FLAT
upon his back, too. The right side of
Bob’s face was covered with blood while
a stream was trickling from a’ wound
above the right ear. His hands were
dyed in blood. One foot Tvas upon the
floor and the other on the edge of the
bed. He was without his coat, shoes
and socks, and presented the appearance
of a man just retiring or just getting up.
Near the right hand upon the floor was a
large thirty-six calibre self-acting pistol
from the muzzle of which smoke seemed
to be coining, while the room was yet
full.
T HE SMELL OF BURNED GUNPOWDER.
The spectacle was a horrible one. A
glance showed the officers that Tony was
stone dead, but Bob appeared to be
breathing. The negro boy, who had re
turned, wassentfor a physician, and Drs.
Avery and Bob Wesmoreland responded.
When the physicians entered the room
they glanced at Tony, and seeing that he
was dead, turned quickly to Bob. He
was breathing heavily and irregularly.
“Push him on the bed,” said Dr.
Westmoreland, as he felt the pulse.
The officers raised him carefully and
tenderly from across his dead brother
and laid him upon the bed.
“He's dying now, l believe,” said Dr.
Avery, looking at the bleeding wound.
“Oh, ves; he’ll be dead in a minute,”
replied Dr. Westmoreland. .
bob’s death.
•
Bob’s eyelids quivered once or twice, a
heavy breath or two was drawn, the last
ending in a soft sigh or groan, and then
the ch#st settled down to move no more.
He was dead, and the physicians crossed
his hands, straightened his limbs and

left him to the policemen. By this time
the room was full of anxious people the
ha 11 wav was alive with them, and the
stairway and sidewalk crowded. Cap
tain Moon quickly placed a man at the
doorway and prevented anyone, except
relatives and friends, from entering the
DUlldlng. Those who were Inside began
searching for another pistol. 'Die wo
man stated most positively that
SHE ITAP HEARD FtYF. SHOTS
before Mr. Stanley returned and one
after. The pistol found upon the floor
was examined and found to be a live
chamber weapon. This induced those
present to believe that the brothers hail
shot each other. The woman’s story was
strengthened by finding two bullet holes
in the hook case and one in a picture
frame, two in Tony’s body and one in
Bob’s head. The pistol vy&s empty, and
as the search progressed interest increas
ed until Mr. Hinton Wright, a warm
personal friend of the dead boys, came in
and stated that the shots in the book case
had been made upon a former occasion.
WHERE THE BALLS WENT.
Dr. Boring, the county physician,
reached the room with Coroner llayncs,
and made an examination of the bodies,
lie found that Tony Hill had been shot
through the left breast, the ball passing
through the heart, and had also been
shot through the muscle of the left arm.
The ball which ended Bob’s life entered
the head just above, and slightly in
advance of the right ear, and came out
on the other side of the head a little
higher up. The room was then searched
for the ball, and in a short time it was
found upon the floor, near where Bob
had been found.
In tiie examination it was ascertained
that Tony’s clothing had been torn about
the throat. It presented tiie appearance
of having been torn in a scuffle. On his
BREAST WAS FOUND A BRUISE
made in falling against something, prob
ably the bed. Over Bob’s left eye was
found a bruise which was made probably
by falling against the book case.
A jury of inquest was soon organized
and an investigation made and a verdict
ia accordance with the facts preseuted
rendered. The father of the dead men,
Col. D. P. Hill lives in Dallas, Ga., tele
grams were sent notifying him of the
horrible transaction. Tonv Hill was
about 3G years old and his brother Bob
about 30 years of age. The former was
employed by the West Point railroad as
bill clerk, the latter was a lawyer.
Mr. Hinton Wright, an intimate friend
of the brothers, in describing his concep
tion of the cause of the trouble, said :
‘•lt occurred just this way: Bob was in
the room and Tony eame In drunk. Bob
began abusing him tor it and Tony struck
him. That bruise on Bob’s head was not
made by a fall but Tony struck him.
Then the fight began. Tony had Bob
down and was choking him. Bob had
the pistol on the bed and shot Tony
through the heart. He then opened the
door and that’s the way that blood got on
the door knob, lie returned to the room
and placing the pistol to his temple fired
the last shot and fell over on his brother
dead.”
STRANGE COINCIDENCE.
Scott Ilill, a negro, aged about-thirty
years, was brought to the station dead
drunk the night of the tragedy, and he
died In his cell, supposahly of heart
disease. He was the serve it who waited
on Bob and Tony ilill.
A PEN PICTURE OF CHRIST.
The following is a translation of a
dispatch written ty Publius Lentu
President in Judea, to the ifoffintfrfteMerr
concerning the Redeemer, the original of
which is preserved in the Vatican in
Rome:
“There hath appeared in these our
days, and is at present living amongst us,
in Juderf, a man of singular virtue, whom
they call Jesus Christ. Of the Jews lie
is accepted and believed to be a great
prophet of truth ; but his own disciples
adore him as being descended from the
immortal God.
He raiseth tiie dead to life and healeth
all manner of human maladies and dis
eases by the word or touch.
“In statue he is tall and of perfect
form; his countenance and air sweet and
reverent, such as the beholders may both
love and fear; his hair is of a color that
would be difficult to describe—something
resembling the color of the ripe chest
nut —from the crown of his head to his
ears, whence downward it is more of tint
or of golden hue, and falls waving and
curling into ringlets, and spreads itself
in graceful profusion on his shoulders.
In the center, from the forehead to the
crown ol his head, his hair is parted by
a seam or partition, and falls over each
ear, after the manner of the Nazarenes.
His forehead is lofty and pale, and his
face without spot or wrinkle, beautified
with a slight tinge of comely complexion.
His nose and mouth are formed with the
most admirable symmetry. His beard is
thick, and of the color of the hair; not
of any great length, and dividing in the
center at the chin, takes nearly the form
of a fork. His look, innocent and ma
ture. His eyes* blue, brilliant and se
renely beautiful. In reproving he is
awful and majestic, in admonishing,
courteous, sweet, friendly and persuasive,
and speaking or acting he is grave, tem
perate, wise and modest. It cannot be
remembered that any have ever seen him
laugh, but many have seen him weep.
In a word, he is a man, who, bv his ex
ceeding great beauty and his perfections,
surpasseth the children of men.”
MRS. CLEVELAND'S INDEFINABLE
CHARM.
Boston Post.]
Decidedly, the president’s wife made a
most agreeable impression in Cambridge.
Of course every one expected to see a
pretty woman, but most people were
taken by storm by what is hard to de
scribe—the indefinable charm of sweet
unconsciousness and a graceful simplici
ty of her bearing. Little kindly ways
denote “a heart at leisure from itself,”
and it was pleasant to see at Mrs. Eliot’s
reception the evident sympathy ot some
of the most attractive of the young mar
ried women for their fair guest of a day.
Speaking of art matters: A few even
ings ago a tine looking, well-dressed ne
gro, black as black can be, entered a drug
store and inquired semi-confidentially of
the cierk: “Do you keep lampblack?”
“I can give you some,” was the reply.
“How much do you want?” “Well, you
see, suh—ah —is it very nice? I would
like a little, sah, in a pretty box—like
these,” pointing vaguely at boxes con
taining toilet articles in the showcases.
“Well,” said the clerk, dubiously, “I
dunno; what do you want it for ? “For
de toilet, sah; for my wife —she powdahs,
sah!”— Buffalo Express.
