But feed them on frappe.
But hope smiled on them ever,
At least, when first they came,
For Washington was heaven,
And they were all dead game.

SLAIN BY HER SON.
Atlanta, June ’26 .—Atlanta was
shocked by another horrible trage¬
dy of the Julia Force ord:r this
afternoon.
In some particulars it bears a
close similarity to that bloody
event. This time, however, it is
ma tricide instead of homicide
which lavs wasta* the family
circle, and insanity is the cause of
it.
About 3:30 o'clock this after
noon, while she was lying on a pal¬
let in the sitting room taking her af¬
ter dinner nap. Mrs. W. J. Fagan,
living near Bellwood suburb, had
her head almost literally severed
from her shoulders by an axe in
the hands of her eldest son, Thos.
Fagan.
Soon after the killing took place
the Telegraph correspondent vis
ited the semie. The home of the
Fagan family is a neat cottage lo
cated near the public road.
Stretching to the rear of it through
a fertile Valley the well tilled fields
and garden shows the industry
aud thri t t 0 f the llOUSeSold. Mr.
Fagan, before coming to settle
near Atlanta, had been a proeper
ous planter in Forsyth county,
wherr lie married the faithful wife
who met 0Ucb a horrible death at
the hands Ol her SOU touttV. folie
the daughter of Capt. Hardy j,
Strickland, „ . , . . a family e which ■ sUll ,,
holds a prominent place iu the an
nals of Forsyth.
HER HEAD CHOPPED TO PIECES.
Mrs. Fagan was f und K ing in
the sitting room, her head
literally chopped to pieces.
j> a ft of her skull was Cllt off,
and tin blow fcoin the axe
knocked it ac-ros the
room. The lady had been lying
upon a pallet on the floor ai'stated,
with the blinds down to make the
room dark so that she could enjoy
her after dinner nap. In another
j room just across the hall several
children were occupied in sewing
and playing. The family is a
large one—five girls and foui boys.
Thomas, who committed she hor
; ror today, being 19, and the oldest
of the family. The next younger
is a young lady of 1/. She was in
the room opposite at the time of
the killing, sewing and looking
after several ot the young children.
One of the little boys left the room
and went out to Lack yard,
where Tom was splitting wood.
This little fellow saw his brother
leave off splitti: g Wood and start
to the house with the axe. With
childish curosity he asked him
what he was taking the axe to the
house, for, and the reply was. “I
am going to put it away."
the lii m boy followed.
The little fellow followed to
ward the house. He saw his
lir -, htt w<tef th9 M whw Li .
mother was asleep very quietly,
“ d i““ « 113 ^ heJ *•
Tom came out with the bloody axe
in his hand. He had a strange ex
pression in his eyes, and at sight
of the little brother ran after
fiercely. The little boy,
frightened almost to death, but
not yet knowmg.the terrible
that had been done, ran for dear
life and escaped in a grove neir
by.
STRICKEN WITH HORROR.
Those in the loom across the
ball were horrified They heard
the blows, but could not
their terrible meaning until the
oldest sister ventured to enter the
sitting room as soon as Tom had
left it. There the horrible sight
of her mother'd lifeless body, with
the head severed from the trunk
and cut into an almost unrecog¬
nizable mass, and great pools of
blood running upon the floor met
her eyes.
Out in the back yard beside the
pile of fire wood upon w hich he
had been at work, Tom, the son
and brother who had w ielded the
death dealing axe, sat in a chair
with the bloody weapon in his
hands, laughing. There he con¬
tinued to sit while the neighbors
gathered, always laugnlug when
anyone spoke to him or'mentioned
his mother,
THE FATHER’S SHOCK
Mr. Fagan was at a store a quar¬
ter of a mile distant buying his
wife a pair of shoes when intel¬
ligence of the horror was brought
to him. When he got to his deso¬
lated home he was overcome by
the horrible spectacle and the hys¬
terical lamentations of the moth¬
erless children,
“Why did yap do it?” he at last
asked his son, who still sat with
the bloody axe in his hands be¬
side the woodpile, grinning in an
imbesiie way.
“A negto told me to do it,” he
replied.
Then after a moment,
“No. ihe negro did it himself.”
NOT OF SOUND MIN'D.
Young Fugan has never been of
sound mind, his father says, though
always capable of helping about
the farm. He was particularly at¬
tentive to his mother, and would
do more for her than for anybody
else. Last Sunday he w r as noticed
to act rather strangely by running
back and forth across the back
yard with an axe in his hand, but
no particular signfiicancft was at¬
tached to this on account of the
cloud that had always been over
his mind.
When the police arrived the
young ~man offered no resistance
to being taken to jail, He will be
tried for lunacy.—Telegraph. .
A UNIQUE SUIT FOR LIBEL.
Atlanta, Ga., June 29.—-“Judge”
D. A. Newsome, who has achieved
social fame by his sweet singing—
in fact the man w ho wrote “The
Lone Rock by the Sea,” and who
is a familiar figure about the state
capitol when the general assembly
is in session, to-day began suit
for i 10,000 damages against the
Atlanta Constitution.
The “judge” is a justly celebrated
local character, and his libel suit
is regarded as something very
unique. He wrote his own account
for the commencement of the suit
for the press, aud among other
things he says: “This suit is au
action of libel based on a sensa¬
tional publication which was print¬
ed in the Constitution on June 4,
reiterating that Judge Newsome
had presented au itemized bill for
bouquets of flowers aud other
presents made to an Atlanta young
lady for collection because she had
jilted him, and also reciting that at
various times the judge, by the
moonlight, had sung at the fair
maiden’s window much to the
annoyance ot the young lady.”
The judge and his friends ale hot
over the publication and say it is
both criminal aud civil libel, and
subjects the judge both to cotempt
and ridicule, wounding his pride,
his spirits and also effecting his
health. They further say that
the publication has already great
ly damaged Judge Newsome, both
m business and in social circles,
and therefore the judge seeks dam
ages from a jury of his fellow
