Wholesalers and Retailers of high-class Dry Goods at popular prices. Mt. Yebnon, November 21.—[Special] —A fitting day for the ghastly ceremony which launched Into eternity a sin- stricken soul. Cold, drizxllng, dark elonda scurrying across an angry sky as U to move as fast as possible from above the murderer’s bead. People have been coming into the vil lage for twenty-four hours, and at two p. m , to-day the hill on the side of which the gallows had been erected was crowded with perhaps five thousand souls, and in that waiting multitude was heard no sound of loud talking or boisterous laughter, only a subdued awe struck murmer arising. The thnsauds who waited in hushed expectancy to see the life which bore the Ineradicable stain of. wanton destruc tion of a fellow creature's existence, taken in Its turn by an outraged country. "An.eye for an eye,a tooth for a tooth. “Whosoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall hla blood bo taken." William Slash, col., who on the night of Oetober twenty-four, In cold premedi tation, took the life of Thomas Bone, at two-thirty o’clock to-day went forth to meet hialHaker with the blood marks on his Immortal soul. A pluckier criminal perhaps never stood under the hangman’s noose. At two o’clock be was taken from the eounty Jail In Mount Vernon and walked under a guard of eighteen men armed with Winchester rifles to the edge of the towu, where the gallows bad been built. A rope enclosure had been erected around the spot, embracing about 100 feet area, and inside this space were al lowed only the officers of the law, the physicians, the clergyman and repre sentatives of the press. Blash ascended the scaffold with Arm step, and faced the waiting multi tide, neatly dressed In a new blaok suit He looked as if about to attend a picnic instead of being upon the verge of eternity. In a few calm words he addressed the crowd, telling them to take warning from hla fate and lot alone all dime nov els, gambling and whisky. He said that he had made peace with his God and was resigned to hla punish mant—that he knew It was just and he was willing to go as an example.

Fields and his minstrel men de lighted a big crowd at DeGIves’e last night The well known and popular (bow man has been seen in Atlanta on) several previous occasions and at all times lie presented a good entertainment. That last evening was the best by far, and the twenty-seven people on the stage com bined to make up an exoellent attrac tion. There was not a single dull feature, and that la saying much in a show of that kind. From the time of the open ing overture until humorous W. 'G. Mack made a hit with hla negro dlaleot stories and songs, the spectators were given continual opportunity to display their appreciation. The fancy drilling of Kibble, thellglit nlng drill artist, was unusually expert and called forth enthuslastio applause. His grand explosive target and other surprises were very pretty and furnished a rare novelty to Atlanta spectators. Jimmy Wall, the versatile oomedtan, the Soottish highland danoera and “The New Indian Polioy" were all far above the average. The “Magnolia Quartet" was enoored four times, ao delighted was the audi ence with Its olever songs and dances.. Lewis Steadman In “She’s False to Me,” and other catohy alia was brought out three times. Tho phantpm patrol was a drill with several excellent features, arranged by Major Kibble. > : The aorpbats were all exoellent, and the spectators found the varied exhibi tions an exceedingly attractive one throughout It formed eue of the best shows of the kind given Id Atlanta in some time, and genial AI Fields may feel proud of the comblnstlou be has gotten together.—Constitution.
