TOOMBS’ LIFK «OKS OUT.
LETTER FROM LIBERTY.
Death Cones a» Sweetly as a Child’s
Sleep.
Washington, Ga., Dec. 16.—As tbo
old town clock was striking the hour
of C to-njght the spirit of the illuatri-
ons Robert Toombs wingod its flight
to tbo God who gave it. His life bad
been hanging by u thread for somo
months, but a few weeks ago, to the
surprise .of everybody, he seemed to
improve. He slept better'and bad a
better appetite, but about the middle
of last week be began to foil more
rapidly, and Wednesday sat iu bis
easy chair for the last time. Friday
, ho grew much worse, and sank rap
idly till to-night, when the cud came.
Remarkable for his physique, as well
as for his intellect, ho has clung to
lifo with great tenacity.
THE CAUSE OF DEATH.
Paralysis was the cause of his
death. Ho showed symptoms of this
disease from tlio first, and during tin-
few days, tho left side of hi* fact* ami
neek became very much drawn and
distorted. His death a as peaceful,
and not •marked by any exclamation
ponds. Ho had been perfectly un
conscious for several days, and did
not. Miller at all during his illness,
his mind would seem perfectly clear
at times, and ho would conver6o as
I'fdinmillv as ever. At other times he
drifted into ineohdent discourse.
Nearly all tho while, however, his
lnimt was clear as to eveute of the
past.
TO UE LAID BESIDE HIS WIFE.
His remains will bo interred iu tho
cemetery in this place on Thursday.
To-day the remains of Iur wife were
removed from the old family burying
ground iu the country, and in death
they who loved each other so devoted
ly in life will rest in the same grave,
i'nlil the past few years Gen. Toombs
often expressed the desire to bo bu
ried on the place where he was born,
but a year or two ago he changed his
mind, and it was his wish to bo bu
ried in the town where ho had so
long made his home.
Thus lias gone out the third and
Inst of Georgia’s great trio—Hill,
Stephens, Toombs—Georgia’s great
est statesmen.

EniTor.fi ADTxanun asd Aiteal:
The centennial celebration of the
Liberty Independent Troop, has been
postponed from the 22d of February
next* to fbe 4th of July, that time be
ing .better suited for the occasion.
Tbeps are some people who seem to
question the centennial of this troop
being due in Februnry, but this fact
is proved, not oDly by the inscription
ou -.the company's medal, but by re
cords in Atlanta. If the ceoteuninl
of tbo Chatham Artillery is not due
before May, why then is not the Lib
erty Independent Troop the oldest
military company in the State ?
Our colored Justice, the successor
tQ “Old Necessity," who “knows ro
law,” has been requested by the grnnd
jury to resign, uud notified that, upon
his failure to do so, he will be indicted
for malpractice at tho uext sitting of
tho Superior court. At the election
uunary lust, many candidates o f
colored fraternity were iu the Held,
but since the legality of this official's
deliberations bus been called iu qties
lion, few of their uumber desire the
office. It is time that incompetent
office-holders should reulizo tin* truth
of the old adage, “Where ignorance
is bliss, ’tis folly to be wise." Our
grand old commonwealth has a name
abroad, and should sustain her dig
nity at home by providing suitable
and competent judiciaries, even down
to the humblest courts of equity, to
bear the bnnuer of “Wisdom, Justice
and Moderation.”
Our Superior court, which sat in
November, continued four days uud
disponed of tnnny important and in
teresting canes. Among them *vas
the prosecution of a negro for selling
a hog to a Mr. Hogg. Upon trial of
the case, the jory could not see where
simple larceny would lie in simply
turning oue bog over to another, nu t
acquitted the prisoner. Before the
case was determined, however, Mr,
Hogg got the impression that the
grand jury was about to indict him
for buying the hog, and asked permis
sion to go beforo that veoerable body
and make an explanation how he got
on such familiar terms with his
namesake. Mr. Hogg, tho gentle
man with two legs, obtained admit
tance, and feelingly explained how
innocently he came in possession of
tho Log with four logs. Of course,
under the circumstances, Mr. Hogg
could not be blamed, and the whole
raottor was dropped. This turn of
the case was also a happy ono for the
door-keeper, who thanked his stars
he was not indicted for turning a hog
iuto the grand jury-room. Uxome.

Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 17—This morn
ing in the United States Court Judge
McCay decided tho contested election
cases growing out of tho recent pro-1 the liage
hihition election in Ibis county. Hclaml when tin

announcing tho result of tho election,! morning and tbo
which was lor prohibition. The Judge passengers were
refused to continue the injunction, in a small house
deciding tho ease against the liquor Pacific depot,
men on every posnt. There is in tho
bill adopted a provision that Georgia
wines may bo sold, but as wines from
other States were excluded that por

TEN KILLED OUTRIGHT AND BIX
FATALLY INJURED,
Atlanta, Dee. 16. — At midnight
Inst night, on the Georgia Pacific
road, seventeen miles from this city,
a Georgia Pacific train was run iuto
by an East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia railroad train. Ten persons
were killed instantly and six were fa
tally injured. Of the latter, one has
eince died, and the death of the others
is expected.
The East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia and tho Georgia Pacific
roads use the same tracks from At
lanta to Austell, sixteen miles from
Atlanta. Just ono milo east of Ans-
tell, toward Atlanta, is a water tank
used by the Georgia Pacific railroad.
THE FATAL START.
The Georgia Pacific train pulled
out of the depot last night at* 10
o’clock. At 10:45 o’clock the East
Tcnnesseo train pulled out. The
Georgia Pacific train stopped nt the
water tank, and while tukiu,
water the East Tennessee train came
up behind, and rail into the rear end
of the Georgia Pacific train. The
Georgia Pacific train was composed
of stock curs and two coaches. Tho
stuck cars were nearest tho locomo
tive, and next was a coach divided
into a baggage ear and a smoking
coach. The last coach was divided
iuto compartments, one with sleeping
berths and the oilier containing the
regular seats for first-class passengers.
A TUKMENDOUS CRASH.
The Georgia Pacific train had not
yet fully stopped, hut was still run
ning a little, so tho conductor stated,
when the East Tennessee train came
thundering along at tlm rate of about
twcuty-live miles uu hour. Iu tho
passenger coach of tlio Georgia Pa
cific train some of the passengers
were sleeping anil others were awake
and talking. Without warning there
came ii terrible crush and the scene
was immediately transformed into
ono of confusion, destruction and
death. Souls were hurled into eter
nity, uud the air was filled with the
grouns of the wounded and dying.
Just this side tho water tank there is
a trestle, and tho rear end of the last
coach (yf thOSeorgiu Pacific train was
standing on tho edge of the trestle.
TELESCOPING THE COACH.
When tho East Tennessee locomo
tive struck tho coach it plowed its way
through as far as the dividing parti
tion, splitting tho car in half. The
shock moved the Georgia Pacific
train liftcon or twenty yards, and
when it stopped the escaping steam
from the East Tennessee locomotive
filled the rear coach, and immediately
all tho lamps were extinguished, the
darkness making tho scene more
Ireadful and appalling. News of tlio
accident was telegraphed hack to At
lanta and a special train sent out. In
tho menntinio tho passengers and
railroad hands who were unhurt, re
moved the dead and wounded into
on tho two trains,
special arrived they
Atlanta. The special
fie* city early this
