A CITXZE1T OF HBFHSIBAH SAYS :
Hephzibah, Ga., October 29th, 1900.
Mr. E. J. Costello, Manager, Augusta, Ga.
Dear Sir :—Replying to your letter of recent date I beg to say that in May, 1891, I applied through you
to the NORTHWESTERN MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY for a policy of §5,000.00 on the
20-payment Life, 20-year Semi-Tontine Plan
I regard the NORTHWESTERN MUTUAL as one of the safest, strongest and best managed Life Insur
ance Companies in this country. The fact that the Company does not write any business in the unhealthy
portions of the United States in my opinion should commend it to all contemplating life insurance. I have
been reliably informed that the assets of the NORTHWESTERN are the cleanest, safest and best of any mon
ied institution in this country. The new policy now offered by your company is in my opinion the perfection
of Life Insurance. I unhesitatingly recommend the NORTHWESTERN MUTUAL to my fellow-citizens of
Burke County.
Very truly yours,
33_ ZF’ZRTSTIISIR,-
Tlie policies of the Northwestern, with its many benefits, lib
eral guarantees, coupled with the Large Annual Dividends of
the Company to reduce the cost of insurance, makes it the ideal
contract, the most attractive policies offered by any Life Insur
ance Company on earth.
For Rates, Particulars and for Information, address,
EDWAR J. COSTELLO,
Manager Eastern Georgia Department.

ATTEMPT TO WRECK A TRAiN
Alleged Perpetrators of the Crime Ar°
rested and Placed In .Jail.
Atlanta, Oct. 3d.—A dastardly &$-
tempt was made to wreck the night pas
senger train on the Seaboard Air Line,
4 miles from Lawrenceville, and the two
men engaged in the plot to plunge the
train with 300 passengers through a
trestle have been arrested aud lodged in
jail.
The men had been suspected and
watched, and were caught in the act of
removing the bolts from the rails.
But for the fact that the attempted
slaughter of many men. women and
children occurred so near Lawrence
ville, the prisoners would probably have
been taken from the officers by the in
dignant passengers and lynched.
The train left Atlanta with five
coaches all crowded.
The plan was to throw the train over
the trestle at Yellow river, which is 4
miles this side of Lawrenceville. If the
plan had succeeded the derailed train
would have taken a frightful leap into
a chasm, and the loss of life would have
been fearful.

NOVEL METHOD OF SUICIDE.
A. C. McCoy Attempts to Stover an
Artery With His Teeth.
Atlanta, Oct. 30.—A. O. McCoy, a
white prisoner at the police barracks,
attempted suicide by severing an artery
with, his teeth.
McCoy had been tried in the record
er's court and lined $5.75 for being
drunk on the street, which he was una
ble to pay.
fhc man was only prevented in-
dieting a fatal wound upon himself by
'he physical strength of the turnkey
aud janitor. lie was finally placed in
'he Black Mariak aud carried to the
stockade, bur he had to be watched all
toe way, and after he reached the stock-
uni- he again tried to commit suicide
"ith lbs teeth, but was once more pre-
Y'U"' 1 carrying out his singular suici
dal intentions.
McCoy is a printer by trade. His
homo is in Pensacola, Fla' He is about
•'■i,years of age, aud a man who looks as

Andrevrs Fired at His Assailant, In
stantly Killing Him.
Greensboro, Ga., Oct. 29.—About 6
miles south of this place Jesse M. An
drew’s’ barn was set on fire aud every
thing, including a valuable horse, was
destroyed. Andrews stated that he
would kill the man who did the work if
he ever found him. It is thought that
the negro who perpetrated the deed
either overheard or heard of the re
marks, and fearing that he would be dis
covered, determined to kill Andrews.
Late that night Andrews was awak
ened by some one knocking at his hack :
door. !
Suspecting something wrong, he took
his pistol and cautiously opened the i
door, whereupon someone struck at him i
with an ax. Before the blow could be j
repeated Andrews shot bis assailant j
through the the head. The man then |
turned to flee, but ran only a few steps j
and fell dead.
DISAPPEARED OFF HATTERAS
Lady Passenger on the Steamer Xa-
coochee Jumps Overboard.
Savannah, Oct. 29. — A young woman
giving her name as Miss Martin disap
peared from the steamer NacSochee,
from Hew York, off Cape Hatteras, and
the circumstances indicate she went
overboard with suicidal intent. She
told a young girl that she intended to
commit suicide, as she was despondent.
Miss Martin was missing from her state
room and she was not aboard the ship.
She had very little baggage,aud her
purse contained $10.04. She had an um
brella marked J. L. Maltby, Casenovia.
This is being used as a clew and the
officials of the company began an in
vestigation on the arrival of the Na-
coocbee here to determine her identity.
The woman is said to be Miss Jessie
Maltby, a schoolteacher of Casenovia,
X. Y., who disappeared from that place
some days ago.
