The Montezuma Boat.
The boat committee at Montezuma
have perfected their arrangements for

lumber has already been ordered and
tbe machinery will be ordered right
away. From the Montezuma Record
we learn that tbe committee, after
some little dUcessinn, decided to build
a boat 100 feet long, 20 feet floor and
3>fj feet hold, with a capacity of 350 to
400 bales of cotton. Tho pilot hou-e
will be so arranged that ibe top portion
can be taken ofi, if necessary, to pass
under the Drayton l ridge. The boat
will have five state rooms sft of the
pilot house for the accommodation of
the crew. Two 30-horse power en-
S 'nes, with cylinders 9x30 Inches, will
> necessary to propel the boat. These
engines. Including boiler, will cost
about $1,400. Mr. Collins is to receive
four dollars per day for his services,

A FATHER’S SUSPICION
Causes an Inquest to be Held Over the
Dead Body of His Son.
It will be remembered that yesterday
we published a notice of the sudden
death of Marshal! A. Burke of conges
tion of the brain. Burke was about
eighteen years old and lived with his
grandmother, Mrs. John T. Walker, in
this city. Yesterday morning Mayor
Grimes received a telegram from Mr.
Henry Burke, of Atlanta, father of the
youth, asking that he have the death
of young Burke investigated, stating
that his aunt had threatened to kill
him. Burke said that he could not
come himself, but would send a friend.
Mayor Grimes referred the matter to
Coroner Brooks, and he at once had a
jury summoned and held an inquest.
The testimony of Dr. Grimes and Dr.
Butts, the attending physicians, wai
taken. Dr. Batts testified as follows
“I attended this case. I was called
Sunday evening between 7 and 8
o’clock, and found him sensible. My
decision was that he had been exposed
to the sun all day and he was suffering
with severe headache, and had every
appearance of having an overloaded
stomach. His brain became implica
ted, he went off into a comatose state,
and remained so nntlt his death. I saw
him two or three times Sunday night
and nearly all day Monday. I was
with him when he died. I saw no
symptoms of poison. I would have no
ticed such symptoms had any existed.
Poison could not be administered with
ont symptoms being developed.”
The jury returned the following ver
dict:
We, the junr, find that the deceased
came to his death from providential
causes, as stated by Drs. Grimes and
with his brother, Jim Williams, this
evening, shot him twice. The wounds
nro fatal. Jim was whipping Bob’s
child. When remonstrated with, he
mado a murderous assault upon Bob
with an open Inife, with the above as
the result. No arrests.
KILLED BY AN A88A88IN.
A Case Whore tho People Acted Coolly
nnd With Good Judgment.
Amibici'S, September 7.—Tbe quiet
little town of EUavills waa on Saturday
night the scene cf a most willful, pre
meditated and cold-blooded murder.
Between 11 and 12 o’clock Sir. Stone
wall J. Tondee, who was salesman for
Mr. Jesse Carter, was standing Lu the
rear of the storenouse, which is a long
wooden building, leaning on a desk,
with his back to the door In tho rear of
tho building, which was open. One
or two persons were also in the boose.
Suddenly the report of a gun was
heard and Mr. Tondee commenced
running to the front of the store, ex
claiming “I am a dead man!” Just as
he readied tbe front door he fell dead,
five buckshots having penetrated his
body.
Behind the storeroom is a cotton
patch, the fence running very near the
store, and it was in this patch the
murderer stood and shot Mr. Tondee
through the back door. Upon exam!
nation of tbe cotton patch sev
eral tracks, made by tho same
person, were seen, the tracks being
made by a bare-footed person with
some peculiarity in the foot. Among
the crowd congregated around tho
tracks were several negroes, who in
stantly remarked, "Why that is Char
lie Blackman’s track.” Charlie ISki.-k-
man is a negro who works around Ella'
villeby tho day, and lias a peculiarity
in his foot corresponding with the
track. This evidence, coupled with
tbe report that Charles Black'
man had said there “were
two men in EUaville he
intended killing, Stonewall Tondee
and Doc Murray, a negro, led the
crowd to believe at once that Black
man was murderer.
On Sunday morning lie waa seen by
several parties nearEUaviilo and would
dodge In the weeds in an excited man
ner. Sunday morning ho and several
other negroes were arrested.
This morning a committal trial was
had in Ellaviilo and all discharged ex
cept Blackman, who is bound over to
the Superior Court for the murder of
S. J. Tondee.
SCENES IN ELLA VILLI.
The largest crowd over seen in Ella-
ville congregrated there yesterday, and
the feeling of the crowd to use severe
measures against Charles Blackman
was checked only by the efficient offi
cers and cooler persons. This morning
the prisoner was brought to this town
for safe keeping.
Mr. Tondee was an exemplary younp
man, a litUe over twenty-one years ol
age, and was at the time of his death
justice of tho peace for the EUaville
district. No cause for his murder can
be assigned. He will be buried to
day.

A HEARTRINDINO ACCIDENT.
Particulars of th» Drowning of TwoChtL
Oran In Coosa Rlr.r.
The Rome Courier furnishes the do*
tails of the drowning on Sunday after
noon of two children of Capt. F. SI,
Coulter:
■About 1 o’clock Sunday afternoon
Capt. F. M. Coulter, with four chil
dren, Miss Mary, fourteen year* of
age, Jose, Lillian and the baby# Viv
ian, a sweet little prattler nealy three
years of age, started down tho river in
a light bateau. Capt. Coulter’s eldest
daughter, Mias Imogene, has been vis
iting in Gadsden and was returning
homo on tho steamer Hill City, and it
was to meet her that the party started
on tbe journey that resulted in tho ter
rible death ot Alias Mary and the baby.
Capt. Coulter was sitting in the rear
of the boat, and with sturdy strokes
sont tho little craft down tho river.
Miss Mary was in tho front, sitting
in a chair, and her lap held the babe,
tho other two children wero sitting in
tho middle of tbe boat. About 3
o’clock, just as ths boat neared what is
known as the “eight-mile rock,” so
named from its distance from this city,
tho baby began crying for somo water.
Tho father of the child picked op a
muscle shell and threw it to his eldest
daughter telling her to give the
child some water in it, and
warned her not to lean over
too far, or tho chair in which sho was
sitting aright tarn over. Bnt ths ray
ing came too late, tor jnat as tho words
came out of the captain’s mouth the
girl leaned over to dip tbe shell in the
water. Instantly the chair tilted over
nnd tho young lady, with the baby still
la Mr arms, struck ths water. The
captain at this time was sending the
lioat spinning along by powerful
strokes of the paddle, and before he
eonld stop the exalt be WIS tsn or fif
teen feet from bis drowning children.
As quick as he could ho backed the
bateau towards the spot where the
children had fallen in, and with bis
hands on the paddle ana cyea strained
to their utmost, he looked In the water
for his lost darlings. Suddenly, ami
for but a moment, lie saw the feet of
the eldest girl, and with despair he
saw them disappear in the water be
fore he could possibly reach tho spot.
In tho meantime Die two little girls
remaining in the boat, frightened al
most out of their beads, began scream
ing and wringing their hands. Fearing
that they, too, would jump out of the
boat in their fright, the Captain was
made helpless, and as he saw his
child rise again to tho surface of the
water, this time tier head, hecoold not
plunge into the water after her. Al
most crazed he leaned over and
grabbed at the hair, bat alas, he saw
his darling sink once more Into the
water, never to rise again. One mare
stroke of the paddle would have placed
the boat alongside of the girl as she
raw for tbe last time, and would have I
saved a world of griel and painful sor
row to the diatreeaed parents. The
little baby, Vivian, was never seen
alive again after the fatal fall. Tbe
dlstract-d father, after aeelng that
be coaid do nothing to re
cover the dead bodies of bis
children, continued rowing down the
river until be was picked up by the
Hill City, five miles below the scene
ot the accident. Instead of the antici-
B ted joyful meeting with bit daughter
was the carrier of the terrible atory
as fold above. About 9 o’clock yester
day morning, • party went down on the
steamer Marable for tbe purpose of
dragging the river for the dead bodies.
Shortly alter arriving at the place Oscar
Fleming dived for his first time down
into the water, and when ha came u >

Lxsasos, O., September 8.—Senator
John fibermen delivered a speech here
last night—delivered mainly to reply to
the address ot Governor Hoadly. The

Is'oes growing ont ol tbe rendition of

and In the electoral college. They bad
r radically been denied many ot

the most precious ol which la tbe right to
free discussion, and they were now disfran
chised and thus openly and boldly depriv
ed ot all the sareauards by which alone

speaker claimed that there Is tcarcely a
district ol tha Booth where there It any
pretence ol a fair election, and the negroes
were openly detrended ol every device the
Ingenuity of crime eonld invent. The
speakar declared Gov. Hoadly could not

mony. This was not only unjust io the
colored people bnt unjust to the whites ot

This wai the flrat real impression that had

will, and the heavy sledge hammer blows
and the leverage of sharp crowbars finally
loosened this plate ana it tell forward.
The circular cage waa the next obstruc

the lock, the cage waa turned and the mob
poared Into the Jail cor. Idor. Jailer Belch,
who waa hidden inside, was enabled to go

mob proceeded lo the cell where the mur
derer was confined, and by means of s
pick ax. after long and ardaons work,
were enabled to shove the door open and
stand face to lace with the murderer. A
shout arose and tbe men exclaimed
"We’ve got him." Williams was ashy
pale, bnt seemed cool under the circum
stances. The only words he spoke were
"I'd Ilka to see my mother.”
They led the pruoaer from the corridor
Into the jail hallway. Tbere was no noise

behind hie back and hit feet were pin
ioned. He was lilted and the noose way
adjusted, bnt the mosqutto bar waa not
strong enough. Some oee by this time
found a rope on the first fioor, and it waa
paiaed up to the hangmen. In a moment
a noose was made and thrown over tbe
beam. Tne prisoner was again lilted, the
rope was Usd about his neck and be was

the same who In the cold winter ol 1801
gathered together al Cairo, Illinois, the
fragments of an army and led them up
the Tennessee river, the creator and lathi r
of the Army ot Tennessee, took his final
leave of earth at 8 o'clock and 8 minutes,
on the morning ot July 231, 1885, from
Monnt McGrogor, a spar of Ibe
AUeheneyn. lo plain view ol
the historic battlefield ol Saratoga. He had
finished bis life's work and had be
queathed to the world hla example. The
lightning's flash carried the sad tiding* to
aU parts of tbs civilized earth, and I doabt
whether etnee the btginning there ever
arose so spontaneous a wail ot grief to
bear testimony before high heaven that
manklni bad text a Kindred spirit
and h'i countrymen a leader.
\Vi, his first war comrades, concede to his
family tneir supreme right, bat claim the
next place tn the grand procession ol
mourners. We were with him in hla days
ot adversity •• well as prosperity, and were
as true to him as tbe needle to tbe pole,
we shared with him the trials and tribula
tions as well as tbe labors and hsttl-a of
Henry. Denelson. Snlloh, Corinth, Inks
and Vicksburg, when that transcendent
and most valuable ol all victories lamed
the universal gaze of onr bewildered conn*
try men to tbe Lew star In tbe West which
plainly foretold wbo bad dispelled the
cloud which lowered over the hoot* ai d
waa to lead to the triumphant victories ot
1865 and the stable and enduring prosperi
ty of 1885. Hundred!, yea thousands,
of busy brains and pens are trying to com-
prebend and describe this man, who did
so much In eo short a time, to trace the
mysterious causes ot his most wonderful
career, and to account for known results.
They look to ns. who were his dally associ
ates In that critical epoch, to aid them in
their commendable work, and, as your
president, 1 mutt on this occasion contrlb
ate a share.
“In the year 1S391 was a first class mao
in the United States Military Academy at
West Point—a position of exaltation never
reached eince, though reasonably success
ful In life— and there appeared on the
walla ot the hall lo the 'old north bar

which wai U. S GranL’ a crowd
of lookers-on reading United States Grant,
Uncle Sam Grant, Sam Grant and Son

Fourth Uolted States Infantry, It
afterwards Irani tired that bla
name was actually Uly»lr« Hiram

Hirmer, the member ol Congreae who
nominated him as a cadet from bis dis
trict. Cadet Grant tried to correct this
mistake at the beginning and end of hla ca
det’s life wllhont success, and to history

was the end yet. After this great battle
three armies were a-oembled on that
bloody field—Buell’s, Pope's and Grant's
—and Geo. llalleck came in person from
St. Loots to command tho whole, with tire
declared purpose to ateume a bold ollen-
■Ive. These armiee wore reorganized.
Bnell'a army became Ihe “centre," l'cpe's
the "left” sod Grant's was broken up.
One part, under Gro. H. Thomas, was
styled the “right,” while ibe other, under
Gen. McClernand, composed tho "re
serve.” Gen. Grant was abso
lutely left ont in toe oold,
with the title ot second In command,
unknown to American lew or bletory. All
moved forth to Gorlutb, emsuming tbe
whole month cf May, and during that
month became cemented the personal
friendships between ui which lasted till
the end. Not one word ot complaint
came from him, no critlciam on the acta
of his superiors or the g jvernment, yet the
trembling eye-lid, silent tear and averted
bead told that bis big heart was troubled,
thousands of Ihe best men on the con
tinent, who eonld, If nutted, have march-
ed to Vicksburg orjMobite were dellbe*
rut* ,y ■ - ull-n-il. Gen. li mil, who Hie
Army ol the Cumberland, which Thomas
rejoined, was sent eastward toward
Chattanooga, anfl the others were scatter-
ed dtfenaively from J-bstport to Memphis.
Gen. Grant wee sent to command the dis
trict of Memphis, and Gen. Halleek blm-
-II I- ing summoned to Washing! n, rn-t
about for a new commander of the Army
of Teuneasee. He offered the post lo a
most worthy quartermaster, who had the
good sense to decline, and himself being
compelled to leave tbe command at the
West devolved on Gen. Grant, not by se
lection but by virlne ol hla superior com
mission. Henceforward his career was
ever onward end upward, and when
on 'the t-.h ot Jnly, 1803,
Vicksburg surrendered to him and the
mighty Mississippi went unvexed to the
sea, the whole country arose and recog
nized In him a giant who was distinedto
guide anil lead us all to dnat victory
anil triumph. These circumstances
were all known to you at the time, but
were little appreciated, aDd were in
trnth tbe fires designed by providence to
teat the ability, courage and endurance of
him on whom the whole epoch in history
was destined to hinge. Gibers have told
tha whole story ol war and still others
are repairing and elaborating it.
Kven he himself, almost in bis dying
hoars, was engaged in re-corllng his ex
perience, and we all await the pub ication
with profound interest.I have seen some of
the manuscript, and have been told of the
rest, but I prefer to await the whole publi
cation, certain that whatever he has re

were the most valuable of his whole life.
In that brief period be discovered tbe pow

personated the great mass
of onr b-st people who
abhorred war and only resorted to it when
toe national honor and safety demanded
IL He knew little and cared
Las about 'strategy,' and I doubt
if he ever read Jomlnl, Grotius
or any books on the art and laws ol war,
except the Weat Point text bonks. So with
tactics.’ He never, so far as I cart recall,
expressed preference forllardee over Scott.
Casey or Mcore. Slid ha loved
to see order and system, and wanted
his corps, divisions, brigades and regi
ments handy and well inatrncted when
called for. He aimed lo achieve resnlta,
caring little lor the manner by which they
were accomplished.
“He promised and always asserted the
most perfect faith in the jutce ui our
case and always claimed that suotteror
later it would prevail, because the Inter
est ol all uiauk ud demanded the existence
ol just such a republic as wo
had inherited, and that bv a concurrence
of political canset a coLtllet bad fallen

He la a widower, but Mveral ol hU chil
dren lived with him, among them a iod,
Matt, and a ftlxtceu-jear-old daughter,
Ida. John Xeiiou, a youug man, paid
court to the daughter, but fearing oppcai-
lion to tbe marrUge pertuaded her to
elope with him to-day. This after
noon the escaped from a back window
of the house, and joined N’eI»on, who
took htr to Weat Hod, where they w$re
marrie.i. Tb*y went to hit home on Da
vit street. Later, when Jarvis Max
well and his son heard of it, thi y were
ereatly incensed, aud determined to kill
Neiioo. Thev armed themselves heavily
and went to the houte of Nelion, entered
and attacked him. His wife tried to In
terfere, screaming, which aroused the
neighborhood. Tbe people rushed to the
houie. but young Maxwell stood lu
the door wiin a pistol and swore
he would kill the first one to enter.
While the crowd was intimidated, Jar?Ii,
who was inside, after laying oat Nelsou,
prccee led to beat hU young wife. The
crowd in the street! increased to hundreds,
andiomeliad the courage to rush In to
prevent farther bloodshed and per
haps murder. Tbe Maxwells reaisted
and some one struck young Maxwell in
the back of tbe bead with a heavy ham
mer, crushing In the skull. This put an
end to the bloody scene.
Police otllcera arrived and took charge
of matters. Jarvis Mexwell resist
ed them, and waa handcuffed, and
both he and hla eon carried to.the station.
The former wai locked up but the letter
seemed fatally wounded and waa carried
home to die. At 10 o’clock tbe attending
phyiiciana sent to the fetation laying young
Maxwell could not live through the night,
and made an urgent re
quest that the father be
allowed to come to the bedside and slay
Um night. The request waa granted, and
lb* father permitted to go, attended by an
officer. Nelson wai badly hurt, but will
probably recover.
The authorities are unable yet to discov
