He was taken into the house and Dr. IIunter P. Cooper sent for. The physioian stated that his death must have been instantaneous. Was Always Healthy. Colonel Jones was always consider- «ed a very healthy man. Indeed, death had come like a bolt of lightning when he was in the best of 'health. Yesterday he was perfectly well. 'This morning he ate a hearty breakfast and was never in better spirits.

The General Assembly met again in joint session yesterday to oontlnne the eleetions of superior court officers. Mr. Boykin Wright, of Augusta, withdrew from the race for- Solioitor of the Augusta Clrouit, leaving noth ing in the way of his opponent, Mr. W. H. Davis. Everybody expeoted Mr. Wright to be eleoted, and when he withdrew it was evident that he did so because he saw defeat by a political combination staring him in the face. The Augusta Circuit enme up first and Mr. Davis was then unanimously eleoted. Judge Robert Falligant was unani mously re-elected as judge of the East ern Circuit. There was a warm light over tiie Holicitorship of the Eastern Clrouit between W. W. Fraser and T' D. Rockwell, resulting in the eleotlon of Fraser. All the Republicans and Third Partyltes but three voted for Fraser. It seems that the Third Partyltes ahd Republicans held the balance of power between the two faotions, und n trade was made witli them. It looks very muoh that way. Judge J. L. Sweat was eleoted Judge, and Mr. W. G. Brantley Solioitor, of the Brunswiok Cirouit, both without opposition. Judge Geo. F. Gober and Solicitor Geo. R. Brown, of the Blue Ridge Cir- cult, were also eleoted without oppo sition, as were, also, Judge B. B. Bow er and Solioitor W. N. Spence, of the Albany Cirouit, and Hon. B. D. Evans, Solioitor of the Midie Circuit. Hon. M. Griggs went through unani mously as Solioitor of the Pataula Cir ouit. During the session of the House a resolution was adopted providing for a joint committee from the Senate and House for the investigation of the charges against Judge Gober. Mr. Fleming, of Richmond,also introduced a bill to reduce the pensions of Wid ow’s of Confederate Soldiers from $100 to $72 per year. ease. Arrangement* For the Funeral.

The sale embraces all the city ami suburban real estate of the estate, ex cept n fow lots,and is the largest publlo sale that has ever taken place In this part of the State. The property sold, so far, has brought very good prices. An undivided half interest in the Tift store, oorner of Washington and Pine streets, and oceupied by N.F.Tift & Co., brought $6,000.

Waf Oai fiassnn Mohammed, the “King of Tramps," arrived In Denver Monday evening at ; 9 o'olook. He was very muoh begrimeij with travel and glad of the prospect of a week’s rest. The “King” started on February 1 from Cincinnati on n wager to walk- 10,000 miles in 450 days for $10,000, on the .following conditions: He was to begin Ills journoy with one copper ocnl and stop at lirst-olass hotels. He was not to beg or borrow or steal, and wns to meet and marry on the road, a woninn he hnd never met before. He stated last evening that he had re ceived applications from 15,000 women whom he did not oonsider lit to become the “Queen of Tramps,” but on September 18 he married n young woman, a telegraph operator, at 0>*- den. He lost thirty day’s time by reason of injury received in falling through a trestle, and this time hns been added to the limit, whioh expires May 10 next. He oomes from San Francisco and is now 500 miles ahead of Ills schedule time. AN ELECTION ORDERED To Fill Ihe Yncaucj- Cannd hr the Five hundred new pnirs Shades just rcoeived at l-eod8t-wl Neuman & Tomas’. A Camp Experience. A Rhode Island soldier, while on picket guard, was rushed upon by a party of Confederate cavalry. He fired at the foremost of them and ran. Be fore him was an open field about fifty rods across, bounded by an oldlog fence, and beyond that a thicket of briers and underbrush. For this bushy retreat the soldier sturted, a half dozen horsemen after him. Fortunately for the fugitive, the rains had softened the soil, and the horses slumped through the turf so badly that pursuit was slow. A pistol ball passed through the run ner’s hat, but he reached the fence, and with one bound landed on the top, In tending to give a long spring ahead, bnt the old fence crumbled beneath his weight and down ho wont. But luck favored him again, for a hog had rooted out a gutter at this place and at the moment was lying in it. The soldier fell plnmp into the hole, and the frightened hog uttered one squeal and scampered into the underbrush, leaving the nowcomor in possession of the wal low and burled under the debris of the fence. A minute more und up dashed the horsemon. Hearing the rustle of the fleeing hog in the bushes, they supposed it to be the picket, and dashed through the gap in the fence and hastened on. When they were well out of sight the fugitive orawled out from the mudhole and ran back to camp. The following day one of the same horsemen was taken prisoner. Our hero recognized him at once. ‘I Bay,” he asked “did you catch that hog yesterday?” ‘We did that,” retorted the prisoner; “but it wasn’t the one we were afterl”— Youth'B Companion. A Cheap Remedy for Smallpox. “I’ve a cheap and safe remedy for smallpox,” said a medical man. “My father was a physician before mo and ho used it successfully. It’s snre, too, in cholera and yellow fever. Now gness it, gentlemen. It’e a simple ar ticle-one you’ve all used from child hood. No, you can’t? Well, sirs, it’s salt—common, plain, everyday salt. Salt, you know, preserves; prevents pu trefaction. The diseases we most fear, according to eminent medical authori ties, are due to putrefaction in our sys tem. Here’s where the salt works like a charm. Now, don't smile, but try it. If you take two teaspoonfuls of salt in a glass of water, say three times a day, you'll not have to bo vaccinated during a smallpox epidemic, shunned during a cholera scare or nursed during a yellow fever plague. Put a little vinegar in the glass to make the dose palatable and keep it up a week or so. Salt is a pre server of life, gentlemen, and if yon are ever in a position to test its efficacy you’ll remember this conversation.’’- Pittsburg Dispatch. Gen. Adlai Stevenson’s letter of acceptance has just been published. Cat**trophlo Denudation.. Comparatively email glaciers can under certain circumstances hold bock water so as to form lakes like the Marjelen sea behind the *35ggisch- hora, or the Mattmark sea in the Sans valley., 'What bodies of water may have been held back by the huge ice sheets of the groat glacier period—what inconceivably stupen dous events would the bursting of their bonds bo! Yet this is not al together wild speculation. Already much evidence has been brought to gether whioh tells of the former ex istence'of such masses of water, of a great ioe hander at Cincinnati dam ming hack 20,000 square miles of wa ter, and of another lake of the same kind farther north in the Red river re gion 100,000 square miles in area, 100 to 200 miles wide and 600 miles long. And the same evidence goes to show that these gigantic reservoirs (Lake Ohio and Lake Agassiz they have been called) did actually burst, not once, hut several times, just as the small temporary pond of the Bionas- say glacier gave way the other day. With such examples before us one cannot hut hesitate before assigning too uniform a degree of intensity to the various agents of denudation, nor can one easily avoid the conclu sion that, as rogards some of them, their rate of work was occasionally far greater in past than in present times.—London Athenmum. Gov. Northen hns ordered an elec tion in the Ninth Senatorial district, oomposed of the oouiittes of Calhoun, Baker nnd Early, to fill the vaeanoy caused by the death of Senator Reuben Junes. The officlnl order is as follows, and is addressed to tiie ordinaries of the three counties named. Whereas, By the deatli of Renbon Jones n vacancy exists in the Senn- torlnl branch of the General Assembly of this State, now, therefore, I, W. J.

W. J. Northen, Governor. Sir Doyle Roche'* Famous “Dull*." Sir Boyle Roche, too, whose hulls mode him famous, on 0110 occasion assured a wonder stricken body of voters that, if eleoted, he would put a stop to smug 1 fling practices in the Shannon by “liav- ng two frigates stationed on the oppo site points at the mouth of the river, and there they should remain fixed, with strict orders not .to stir, and so, by cruis ing and cruising about, they would be able to intercept everything that should attempt to pass between thorn.’’ Another time, when 011 the bastings, he observed, “England, it must be al lowed, is the mother country, and there fore I would advise them (England and Ireland) to live in filial affection together like sistors, as they are and ought to he.” This was only equaled by his- when opposing his antiministerial mo tion—wishing the said motion “was at the bottom of the bottomless pit.”- London Standard. His delay is excusable in that he has taken such an active part in the cam paign. He discusses, ably, the issues, but emphasizes, especially, those of tariff reform, finance and the force bill. It is a strong document and comes at an opportune time. Dliioa in Europe* Concerning the extinction of our bison, the general beliof is that our continent was the only ono that had an animal of this distinct species. This is in a measure true, hut few know that the European bison, or zubr (bison bonassus), bears the closest resemblance to our own bison. As Mr. Lucas describes him—and reference is made to a specimen in the United States National museum, there being a capital photograph of the animal in a Smithsonian report- bison bonassus looks so much like Americanus that it would take more than an ordinary observer to note the distinction. The European bison, first cousin to our own, is taller, not so heavy as to his fore quarters, nor is his head so big. At present the zubr is re stricted to parts of Lithuania and the inaccessible regions of the Caucasus. In Lithuania the animals are under government protection. Up to the year 1500 European bison were not rare in Poland. In 1514, in Tran sylvania, if old chronicles are to be relied on, the zubr trampled down the growing crops. There is fair reason to believe that in the middle of the last century a Polish king killed sixty bison in a day. In Lith uania. in 1880, there were 000 of these bison on the imperial range.—New York Times. The Hotel ITlnyo Omnlbu*.
