Tbe divorced Mrs. Dan Rice did not leave the country and dieof melancholy but shesoon afterward found one whom ahe thought to be more worthy other, and she became a Mrs. Warner. With the latter husband she lived very agreeable till hia death, a few years ago. Since then she has continued to abide in Girard, and is said to be a very estimable woman. Tbe fruit of tbe first union was two girls, one of whom »s now the wife of Charles Reed, ao equestrian of fame, and is now traveling in Europe. The second .laughter married Captain A. C. Wuizback, of a German family, and is now living in Oirard. Dan was at this time in the hey day of his glory, and be was worth thou sands of dollars where bis competitors were worth hundreds. He wooed and won Miss Itebecca McConnell, a daughter of Henry McConnell, a deacon in the Girard Presby terian church, and president of the Girard national bank.) The parents of the young lady were in no wise favorable to the match, which they considered quite unequal in point of s'icial station and age. The union so ex tremely dissatisfied the father ol the young lady that be went so far as to disinherit her, though she was bis only child. The prop erty, however, which was quite ati extensive one, was to go to the heirs. All opposition t-> tbeanit of tbe showman availed not, for tbe fates had decided otherwise. Dan used frequently to relate that he saw his present wife in her nurse’s arms at a show in which he was interested, and which exhibited in Girard along abont 1845. In this exhibition was a circus play of "Tbe Sultan’s Halt in the Desert,” in which Dan was tbe hero. The exhibition of the bespangled cam els and Dan’s gorgeousnets so delighted tbe little one that it attracted his attention, and from that time on, though he was a married man he regarded the child as it drveloped into girlhood with a special interest. After the second marriage Dan continued to prosper, and he built a resi dence in Girard which with ita surround ings, must have coat him anywhere from $100,000 to $200,000 He continued to make Girard liia headquarters, and tbe death of bis wife’s father hai conciliated matters to snch an extent that after his mansion had been disposed of he and his wife went to dwell under the paternal roof. During the show season Dan continued to •druggie on. With his ill luck and the de parture of his worldly possessions there came a coldness over his soul and his fain ily, then consisting of his wife and a boy- his very image—did not seem to have the charms for him as before. As a conse quence of all this comes the suit for divorce. It is said that Mrs. Rice has left Girard on a visit, and that her husband is unable to find her at the present time; also, that be is endeavoring to see her for the purpose of a reconciliation. max the l«ljr wm identified u that ol Htai ta-pqjnwajHewU. - « drug store oppotu e the era Ber nuuse—is ready to Jennie Cramer, eldest daughter of a respected j t&at be mw du-m come out together, and there is other proof, ol which I will speak present- e where the remains ly. that tbe two women wore iu company with -t Waiter Mxlley on Thursday night, eat beard testimony.

We leam from a gentleman living in this city that a company has been organized in Boston, with Mr. Llvenus Hull, of that city, asjtresident, F. A. Cushman, of Lebanon, New Hampshire, as secre tary, and M. C. Cushman, of Boston, as treasurer, for the purpose of working the river beds of the gold belt of Georgia. He says: "The capital of this compauy is two and a hall million dollars. They propose to work the river beds with boats made on a patent given to the International vacuum dredging company. It Is now operating in several rivers in British Col umbia and on the Pacific slope. The boats un der this patent are built with large and ample decks and with large covered pipes that reach from the deckol the boat to the bed oi tne river. When the boat Is in position and the pipe rests on the river bed the vacuum is made by condensing steam in the pipe and the atmospheric pressure forces the mud and sand of the river bottom through the pipe on to the deck of the boat. About five tons ol river bottom can be turned into the boat by the filling ol one * can be cleared about process is thus very rapid and immense quantities of dirt can be brought into the boat within the course o! a day.

Butit was of no use; his death was inevit able, and while protesting that his actions had been for the good of the Indians, whose chief he was, the drams vere rolled, a volley of musketry was h ard, and the career of Lera da waa at an end. Aa to his wealth during hia lifetime, there are many stories. One is that bar rels of gold and silver were carried at his order to the mountains and there deposit ed by four men, wbo after finishing their work were of course, shot, that it might not be divulged. There is at Santiago an old man who tells that he in company with another, Ateiro, came to Tepic in the night-time, escorting Lerada and aix mules heavily laden with gold and silver bars, brought from the mountains in the vicinity of Santiago, and which were deposited in Lerada’a house; that after their arrival he was s ent t > my mescal, and &9 he had a weakness for the "vine celestial" he drank too much, got drunk and did not return to the house. In the morning the mules were found astray. Lerada was on his way to Guadalajara, and the other man, his companion, never was heard of again. His ideas of discipline were as severe as his ideas ot many other things.

On one occasion, at one of these reviews, wnen those present were in the line, one unfortunate arrived ten minutes late. He was called before the chief, and, after being reprimanded before the whole army, was led to a tree and shot. The family of Lerada, his wife and two daughters, reside at San Luis. She is ir very comfortable circumstances, and is rep resented as a very ladylike and amiable person. A BOLD HIGHWAYMAN. Thirteen Fnll-ffrown Hen Qnletly Submit to be Bobbed by • Single Brigand. Denver Republican. H. M. Barton, the alleged stage-robber, who was arrested in Pneblo, and brought to Denver in July, bad his preliminary ex amination before Judge Brazee yesterday afternoon. Barton is charged with rob bing the stage running between Del Norte and Alamosa, about midnight on Jane 29. The robbery was the most audacious in the annals of highway robbery, and links the name of the perpetrator with that of Billy Le Roy. The story of the deed is besi. told in the words of J. B. McMillan, of Del Norte, one of the victims of the robbery, and who was the first and principal wit ness for the prosecutiou in the examination of yesterday. He said in substance: "There were eight men and one woman in side the coach, four men besides the driver on top. I was among the latter, sitting beside the driver. It was about midnight, I should think, and abont twenty miles from Del Norte, when we were halted It was very dark, aud we were just turning a bend in the road when the word came to bait There was only one man visible, to •the left and about ten feet ahead of the coach. The robber was standing behind a piece of canvas stretched alongside the road, and had a revolver pointed directly at myself and the driver. He told us calmly to deliver ourselves, and he would not harm bat that if we made a bad break he would shoot. I was on the side next to the robber, and I immediately got down from my seat, followed by the driver. After we got down the robber came from behind the canvas and placed over our heads a cloth cap which came -down to our ahoulders and completely blinded us. He then ordered us to stand still, and himself went to the stage door and ordered the occupants to come out, one at a time, and take their positions in line alongside the driver and myself. "He told the passengers not to make any unnecessary movements, as they were all covered by the guns of his men iu conceal- AMWEG’S HEART BEWITCHED BY CHARMING NELLIE.

When sbe did go borne abe wm still accompanied by A MILLIONAIRE BRIGAND. Lerada, Who In Lowe, War and Gold- Letting Hade Tiling* Ham. Alta Californian. jt There are many interesting incidents re lated of Lerada, t e remarkable Indian wbo for eighteen years ruled tho Tenic part of the Mexican republic. When a boy be was engaged in herding sheep and cattle on a ranch near the town of jaieco. Every day there passed on her way to and from school a very pretty girl, of a good family, and an. acquaintance began between them. She always had her books, and on her return from school the two would retire to some quiet place, where she would teach him to read and give him his first ideas of arith metic and geography. He was exceedingly apt in learning and anxious to acquire knowledge, and he improved it in such a manner that ha soon became recognized among other Indians aa superior to them. Qis master often ill-treated him, and Lerada was often heard to say he would revenge himself. The acquaintance with tbe girl ripened into love, which was reciprocated. He had asked of her parents that he iarry her, a proposition that waa . iie family caling him a beggar. Bat he oue day killed bia maaterand then fled to the monntaina, taking a camber of In dians with him. After increasing the number to eighty men, be one night enter ed jaisco, went to the house of the girl, took her out, and killed those of tbe family whom he deemed bad insulted him. He forced the cure of Jalisco to go with him to the coup on the mountains, and when there made him marry him to the girl. Lerada afterward took to the road as a brigand aud was a terror for miles around. Many times troops were sent after trim that never returned. About this time came tbe French, who.hearing of his many exploits and influence with the Indians, made overtures to him to join them prom ising $30,000 per month to pay his men. Lerada accepted and went with 8,000 men to Mszatlan, received the first instalment came back to Tepic, disbanded them, and pat tbe money in bis pocket. He aterward received tbe same sum regu lariy and as regularly he pocketed it. This was the beginning of bis politica prominence, and he rapidly made advancement in his endeavors for a complete control of the government of this : eciion of the republic, i »e appears to have been a terrible reveDgeiul man, and anyone that he imagined bad done him any injury lived but a little time after. Oa one occi sion, at a ball in Tepic, he observed an offi cial of the government in conversation with a senorita with whom he was ena mored He directed one of his own officers to go to him and tell him to leave the house. Lerada, seeing the official still con versing with the young lady, again called his officer and asked if he obeyed trim,and at the same time pointed to the pistol wLich the officer carried, asking if he was aware to what use such an instrument was put. "Now go to that man,” he said, "and take him by the beard and lead him from the house.” The officer, well knowing that if he disobeyed his own life would be forfeit ed, cid as he was told. On another occasion he sent an Indian with a watch and a snm of monev from his place at San Luis to Tepic. the Indian stole both, pawning tbe watch. He was apprehended and shot, and so, too, the poor pawnbroker and the innocent purchaser of the watch from the latter—both were arrested and shot by order of Lerada. But bis ambition for ex*ended power rained him. His frequent successes Had led him to believe that be could cap ture Guadalajara, and with eight thousand Indians he started for that city, when, after a well-fought battle, he was routed and obliged to return to Tepic, having lost the prestige he had gained in eighteen years, as well as the confidence of his officers. The latter ’*went back on him,” and one "gave him away,” receiving, it ia sad, a conside rable snm for the information; and eo at last Lerada was explored and soon after was shot Draa Stanley's Will. near the bridge cro*sirg the river passing Loxdox.

He took nothing but money. Everything else he wonld place just where he got it from. I do cot know how much money he got From me he got about $140, which he took from my pccketbook, replacing the pocketbook after taking the money oat. He had a light burning in front of the canvas, behind which was a reflector, which 6h*d the rays directly in our faces. He occupied about fifteen minutes ia the search. He then ordered us to kneel, which we did, all in a row, and he proceeded to rifle the mail bags. The woman, at his bidding, held the light for him while he did this. He opened only two sacks, I believe. He kept ns kneeling about half an hoar. He kept talking all the time, using good language. In fact, during the whole time of the rob bery he was very gentlemanly. "He had a soft, mellow voice. He was not nervous or quick, but did the work i: business like manner. He was a man nearly six feet in height, smooth face, had a heavy, light moustache, and w6uld weigh perhaps 165 pounds. He bad on a dark hat and coat, and was not disguised in any way.

The people who read the papers, must have noticed the havoc, the (more than usual destruction done this year by the flashing eyes and palpitating symmetrical which range nightly behind the glamour of the footlights at Uhrig's Cave theatre. The Girl in Red'* had hardly passed from the heart of the town when Mr. Bir* rett found the light that lies in Mamie Taylor’s eyes had been bis soul’s undoing, and now Mr. Amweg’s achievement, of which the story will be found below, eclipses all the exploits of the season. The story is one which mu3t be taken with a great deal of allowance. Upon one ade there^s only a chorus singer, on the other, Miss 'Nellie Haseltine; but if the troubadour is to be believed there have been experiences of more than passing richness at the Cave daring the last two weeks. John Amwrg is a blonde, short built gen tleman with a fair voice, fine eyes and a good leg. He has held subsidiary positions in the Ford opera compauy for some time past, and this is probably the first time his name has appeared prominently in the newspapers. It appears, according to hi story, that three weeks sin ceayounglady 8 great beauty occupied the front seats at the Cave, and seemed only to take a i interest in the proceedings when he was on the stage. She looked at him fixedly and smil ingly, he says, until at last hisatttv t'on was drawn to her. and one evening—; ?itl be kemembered that all of this is An. weg’s tory- she took the bouquet from her breast, s issed it and by moving it about pinned his attention to it. Then, with a smile, she placed it under the seat upon which she was sitting. As soon as the curtain dropped Amweg haatened to the place and secured the flowers, among which there was a note, and then asked a friend who the lady was? "Miss Nellie Haseltine,” was the reply. “And who is she?” "The belle of St. Louis.” An interview was arranged, in the course of which, Amweg says the lady told him she had received ninety-nine offers of mar riage. one of them from an old man in New York worth fifteen million of dollars, that he was a democrat (meaning Tildenjand she was a democrat, but that she could not marry where she did not love He says she went on to tell him that he, Amweg, was the only gentleman who had touched her heart. Amweg said that he replied that he hadn’t a five dollar bill in the world, and that he had just as soon se !e in St Louis as anywhere. Several no.cj he al leges passed between them, and two pho tographs upon the back of one of which was written "Yours until death ns do part, Nellie.” Naturally all this good fortune, real or alleged, turned Amweg’s head, and he confided the matter to two or three dozen friends, besides writing home to his mother that he was going to get married, and sending her one of the letters which he claims to have received Of course the story spread. Last Monday night Miss Haseltine and her mother leit for the White Snlphur springs in Virginia, where they now are. At this point Amweg may be left for a little while and the attention of the reader concentrated on Miss Haseltine’s brother and Mr. Fred. Paramour, who, it was ex plained, "had aright to act in the prem lses.” These two gentlemen heard the .'loriesafloat and concluded that the proper course to pursue was to punch Amweg’s eye, and for this purpose that sweet singer was yesterday afternoon beguiled np into Mr. Paramore’s office, on tne fourth floor of the building on the southeast corner of Fourth and Pine. Mr. Haseltine had a&ked a Mr. Lion to be present as Amweg’ friend to see fair play. As soon as the party gathered, Mr. Haseltine asked Mr. Amweg if he had said he was going to capacity of the poorest people. Without an endowment tuition at Athens would be. $150 a year. Like the English, we have scholarships. We are allowed as many scholarships as there are members of the general assemble* in the agricultural school at Athens. An : l Franklin college we have 50 scholarships for deserving young men who are not ab. e *• pay. The university differs from the denomi national colleges in the state. Ana here let me say that I am not aa antagonist ot the two denominational colleges. It has been my fortnne to teach in both. I wish to see both flourish They exert a conser vative influence which we coaid not get elsewhere. They stand as a warning to the trustees of the State university that they must respect tbe religious sentiments * the people. There is always danger that universities under politica control that men of skeptical tendencies may get into the position of instructors. If this should ever happen in Georgia there would be fi cry, "To your tents, O, Israel!” and there would be tne tents ready for them. The difference between these schools and the university is that they give only the old A.B. degree, while we have various degrees in both colleges, giving advanced advantages in modern languages, in ancient languages, and in sciences. Young men who have left these schools have spent two years profitably at the university. Dr. Mell read an editorial from the The Constitution as to the true course of the university in fitting men for practica life. He said that able journal has always been the friend of the university. It has supported me well there, and when I see a criticism in Toe Constitution, I know it is the criticism of a friend. We are giving just what the edi torial asks now aud are turning out excel lent civil engineers and men who are pre pared for the practica work of life. If it is asked why we turn out so many A.B.’s aud so few practical scientists and business men, I say it is because they dou’t come ~ Harris, of the Richmond college, tells that this year Harvard turned out 182 graduates and only one bachelor of science. The reason why there are so many law yers and doctors graduate and so few civil and mining engineers is because there is a demand for the former and not for the latter. The demand will always regulate the supply. We ought not to be reproach ed for not graduating more practical busi ness men, when you don’t send them to us. We are prepared to educate men as well in in these practica sciences as any college in the south. It is objected to the university that there religion there. True, no religion taught there, neither is taught in any other literary college. Every professor at the university is a member of one of the great denominations in the state. The Bible is read to the students and one of the profe3 aors prays. I insist that there is more religion there .than anywhere else in Geor gia. The chancellor is required to preach to the students every Sunday, and they are required to attend. I thank God that such is uiy privilege to address one of the grand est audiences in the world—an audience of educated minds. There are no denom- inatioral teachU gs there and there are no such teachings anywhere in the state. At the university the professors of the different denominations teach in Sun day schools and each gathers around him the young men of his own faith and drills them in it. The university is a religious * very much to the track of evidence we "Does this tend to free the Malleys from eon cection with the death of Jennie Cromer?" asked the reporter.

Its subscription list has been completed for his sister? Mr. Amweg replied that that was his intention. Haseltine then struck Amweg with his fist, which was returned, and the two parties canghf each other by the hair and swung round and round as though practicing a new-fangled german. Mr. Paramore in the meantime produced a cowhide, which he had brought for the occasion, and was wating for some body's pants to get tight so that he cou.d have Alitte of the pie himself, when he was collared by M«*. Linn, who remarked that one at a time was enough for Amweg. Of coarse Paramore resented this interference, and fora time there was a double shuffle, in which much hair, many co liar-bo t tons, and considerable temper were lost. When everybody was tired of the circns they ai drew off and began to discuss the matter. "Yon know you must be mis taken,” said Will Haseltine; "yon may be iior.es! in what you believe, but my eister could rot have written you any letters.” "Bat I’ve got the letters.” "Where ?’ ‘‘Oat at my house.” He was compelled to give Haseltine written order to search through hia trunks, and that young gentleman soon returned looking very much annoyed and bringing two letters and two photographs, all of which were promptly confiscated. The iady’s friends still declared that there was some mistake—that Amweg had been im - posed upon by one of theSHaseltine ser vants, and he was asked to come out to the house and see if he could not identify one of the girls there. On the way ont Haseltine asked him to describe the position of the furniture in the parlor if he had really been there, and he did this very cor rectiy. At the house Haseltine snm' rnoned one of the servants, a very pretty laundress, upstairs, and aaked Amweg if that was not the girl he had met. ‘No,” he replied, "it was Miss Nellie Ha seltine that I met, her whose photograph yon have there.” No amount of question ing, no threats could turn him trom his story, and the idea was at last abandoned, and the party broke up on the Haseltine door step. All four of the gentlemen were pretty badly rumpled np from the fuss at Paramore’s office, Amweg being especially beaten np about the head and face so that he coaid not appear upon the stage last night. To day he says he will begin two suits against Will Haseltine and Fred Paramore, one for assault with intent to kill and the other for civil damages.

THE STATE UNIVERSITY. Address of Dr. Hell Before the Legis lature Tuesday.; Tuesday morning at 9 o’clock by re quest Chancellor Mell addressed t he gen eral a sembly in the interest of the 8tate university. There was a fail attendanca ot members and a goodly number of citizens ' i the gaieries. Dr. Mell said: Many mistakes are made aa to the character of the universities. S, many institutions are called uni versities that the public mind will compare us to institutions from which we are en tirely dissimilar. We are not like the Gor man system, which staling at the fak school and gymnasia culminates in the universities, of which there are twenty, the lower schools there is a regula curricu lum and a discipline. Id the university the course is eclectic, and each student regnlates hia 'own conduct. We treat our students on ground that most of them as boys; therefore place them under certain rules. They must attend prayer and recitations. We enforce the attendance of the student and we lay down the coarse of study which he is to pursue. Our university is con structed to meet the needs of boys as well as men. In the German universities everything theory—there is no practice. We unite tbe practice with tbe theory. The European colleges do not practice yoang men in writing or oratory, and they criticise us for doing so. Bat the genius of oar institutions is each that our people must be a writing and a speaking people. We also differ from the English people in some respects, while in others we ae like tne English. At Oxford there are twpnty three colleges all constituting the university. Cambridge hss nineteen col leges all mak ing one university. We have the Franklin college and tbe agriculturel school at Athens, and the branch colleges in the atatef are parts of the university. All degrees in England, as with us, ae conferred by the university. It is an error to suppose that the colleges ae lor the rich aone. The university is endowed and its tuition is brought to the THE DEADLY DRUG. [Ady who Proves to be the Wife of Ssv, i, of Weston, Takes as Overdoss jTpbiae—Tho Discovery of Her lintity—Her Sad Death. institution but not a denominational tution. As to the discipline at the university I cannot bear witness as it is in my hands. The government there is responsible. is respected. It government of influences, takes hold of the heat of the student and destroys ai disposition to college tricks. Itstndies the disposition of the boy. I challenge comparison with any stitntion in this matter. Our students cease to exhibit distinctive characteristics as students, and merge them in the char acteristics of the citizen. Why should not there be discipline at tho university? It ia said there are grog shops there. They are everywhere. In the college towns where liquor is prohibited, liquor is smug gled in, and as there is difficulty it getting it the boys procure it in goodjquan titles and drink it because they have it oi hat.d I taught fifteen years in such a school, and there wai more whisky drank there than is drank iu the university. The expenses at the university are very low. Room rent is nothing Thirteen dol lars and a ha'.f a month will boar* student There is no other place in Georgia where there are snch cheap rates. The majority of boys at the university are poor boys. The society of Athens is polished. Every student is admitted to be a gentleman aud every door h thrown open to him. Every boy needs three kinds of culture. The culture of the family, the culture of the school, and the culture of society after wads. The culture of the school at Ath ens is eqnal to any and superior to nearly all. The cnlture of society there is as fine as can be found anywhere. Religion holds its head np there. It is the dissipated tnan who is there put into Coventry. have spoken to yon of the condition of the university. It is yonr institution. Its interests are in yonr hands. You know what ita wants are, and I have confidence that yon will supply them. [Applause.] Drcdzlnf tbe Rivera. The article on dredging the beds of the riven that run through the gold fields of Georgia and working them for gold that appears in The Constitution of to-day provoked consider able comment. A representative of Tax Constitu tion met Dr. Utile, state geologist, and asked him If he knew anything of this new method: I understand,” he sad, "that there oe two computes organized for the purpose of working the river beds of north Georgia for gold, (toe of them is now building a dredging boat at Leathers over Martin’s ford, ad will be ready for opera tions ta abont four weeks.” Soon after the TVestern and Atlantic pas- senger train, due in Atlanta at 12:40 p m., stopped under the car shed yesterday, a Constitution representative saw two or three men emerge from the ladies’ coach, bearing tho apparently inanimate form of a lady, which was taken into the gentlemen’s reception-room and deposited on a large table in the center of the floor. Tlib unusual spectacle attracted quite a crowd, and in an instant the room was fall of people strong with curiosity to know the cause of the lifeless object being upon the table. Among those aound the table was Mr. Sanford Bell, the conductor in charge of the train from which the lady was taken, aid to him The Constitution representa tive applied for knowledge, but beyond the fact that she was a passenger on his train holding a ticket from Cincinnati to Macon, but little could be obtained from him. Mr. Bell, however, remembers that just above Marietta as ne was passing through the train, he saw the lady leaning back with her eyes closed as though asleep. He paid uo particula attention to her until the train stopped under the car shed when she was found helpless and unconscious, when he caused her remova to the waiting room. The lady laid upon the table perfectly im movable, and save the irregula rising and falling of the chest os the air passed through her lungs, there was not the slightest indication of life about her. She was a large lady whose massive frame would attract immediate attention. She was attired in a full suit of brown dress goods, over which was a new linen duster. Her general appearance indicated a posi tion above the average, .while her face gave evidence of great inteuigerice. Her once jet black hair, now well mixed with grey, hung in loose ringlets about her head, while her haf closed staring eyes told too plainly that she was rapidly near ing death. It soon became apparent that she was an entire stranger in Atlanta, and beydad the facts obtained from Conductor Bell nothing could be ascertained until Carrie, the stew ardess, came in. Then the inanimate form was recognized as a lady from southwest Georgia, who passed through Atlanta about the middle of July last en route to Ohio. When it was known certainly that the lady was a stranger in Atlanta, her pockets were searched for the purpose of ascertain ing who she was. In the right hand pock et of her duster was found a pocket book and a broken vial of morphine partly empty. The t aight of the drug soon led the crowd to believe that the missing por tion was the cause of the stupor that made the body lifeless, aud instautly messengers were sent for physicians. To the call Drs Oimstead and Kedwine responded, and at a glance they confirmed the suspicion that had seized tha crowd. In the pocket book was found a trunk check, a ticket to Macon and a small amount of money, but nothing to tell who she was. Then the dress pockets were searched, and from one of these was taken a letter addressed to Mrs. S. G. Binion, Leba non, Ohio, care of Dr. J. L. Stephens. The post mak showed that the letter had been mailed at Weston on the 4th of Augnst, 1881. It was found to be a letter from May Binion to her mother, but discussed only family affairs. From this it was supposed that the almost lifeless form was Mrs Binion, of Weston, Ga. In a short while this rumor bad spread so rapidly that it reached Mr Elam Johnson who was personally acquainted with Mrs. Binion. Immediately after hearing it Mr. Johnson hastened to tbe car shed and at once recognized the lady as Mrs. Binion. the wife of the Itev. M. B. L. Binion of Wetson, Ga., and then for the first time it was known who she was. Soon after Mr. Johnson reached the car shed another gentleman to whom the lady was known put in an appearance and and in a short while a telegram was sent to her husband, at Weston, in forming him of his wife’s perilous condi tion. The physicians did all they could to re vive the lady but without effect. The dose of morpine had evidently been a large one and had been running through*her system for several hours, rendering aid wholly im possible. Several hypodermic injections were given but without any good result. are very rich in gold there can doabL Experiment* that h*ve been made demonstrate this.

With all present it was a question as to whether or not the morphine was taken with a view to suicide, and until Mr. J P. Beatty, a member of the legislature from Webster, who is well acquainted with the Binion family, appeared, the doubt was not removed. From,Mr. Beatty it was ascertain ed that Mrs. Binion had beeu addicted to the use of morphine to such an extent that it was generally known throughout the place where she livid. For the purpose of secur ing freedom from the habit, she went to Lebanon, Ohio, some weeks ago and was, be thought, en route home when she took the overdose that rendered her uncon scious. Soon after making a thorough synopsis of the care the physician abandoned ai hope of saving the lady’s life but nev ertheless continued to do what they could for her. About four o’clock Mrs. Binion began to sink rapidly and in less than an hour sbe was barely alive. By those who were pres ent it was thought she could not live many minutes and what could be done wm done willingly and quickly by the friendly hands of thoLe around her. From the time she reached. Atlanta to the hour of her death she never spoke. During the entire afternoon she lay upon the paiet that was spread for her with half closed eyes and immovable limbs breath ing her life away. Around her stood the two kind-hearted physicians watching closely any change that might occur hoping yet to be able to save the life ot the lady dying among strangers, while beside her stood Carrie, the stewadess, fanning the fevered face, hoping to give life to the almost dead body. In the room beside the physicians were Mrs. Col. A. W. Starke, Mra^Greer, Mr. J. G. Medlock and Mr. Beatty, all anxious to do something for the dying woman. About half past nine she began to sink rapidly and at ten o’clock breathed her last. The body was then turned over to severa ladies who volunteered their aid and by them prepared for burial. After they had performed this sacred work Mr. G. R. Boaz, the Loyd street undertaker, placed the body in a handsome case and placing it aboard the Macon train which leftat 12:20that night gave it in chage of Mr. Beatty, who accom panied it to Weston for interment. Coroner Hiiburn was notified and with a jury of inquest sought to ascertain the cause of the death. Colonel W. T. Tram mell and Conductor Sanford Bell, both of whom saw her on the train, Drs. Redwine and Oimstead and Mr. J. P. Beatty were the witnesses, but nothing additional to what has been set forth wss adduced. After the evidence had been head the jury rendered the following verdict: Atlanta, Ga., Auzust 16,1881—We. the jury Impaneled and sworn, to toqntio into the cause of the death of the person before us, supposed to be Mrs. M. B. L. Binion, find from the evidence adduced that she came to her death from a ov erdose of morphine, evidently administered by herself. H E. cumhikcs. Foreman. F. A. Hilburn, Coroner. To this verdict the physicians attached the following: We, the attending physicians, believe tha the deceased came to her dtath by an overdose of morphine administered by herself. J. C. Olmstead, M.

New York, August 17.—The steamer Ply mouth Rock, on her morning trip to Ix>ng Branch with some 1,000 or 1,100 passengers at 11:30 o’clock, when about twenty miles from Iron pier, burst her steam flue, knock ing open tbe doors of the engine room, from which an immense volume of steam hisaingly escaped. A scene of terrible con fusion and tenor ensued, the passengers being- madly panic-stricken in the struggle for life-preservers. Men were seen to seize them eveu from women. For about half an hour there was a scene of dire confusion in the upper deck cabin. The struggling mass was wedged, the doors being blocked up, and to facili tate an escape the windows were broken out by the officers of the boat and the passengers passed through head first. Aa soon as the panic had somewhat subsided the band struck cp and this helped to reassure the pasrengers and restore order. The tug Germania about half an hour after the accident, went to the assistance of the Plymouth Rock and took her in tow. Before starting, however, the steamers Schuyler and City of Richmond also came up. The latter boat and the Germania towed the disabled steamboat some distance up the bay to smooth water, where her passengers were transferred;to the City of Richmond and brought to this city The Plymouth Hoik was towed to her dock by the Germania. In the panic there were a number of women and children knocked down and trampled on, but to what extent een a last brought to a satisfactory conclusion they were injured has not been ascertained.
