lire comfortably. His parents were In good
ctmistat.rea end shared gcneromly with their
promising sou. The financial ability of the young
man soon asserted itself, and hit moderate income
was rapidly increased.
He alwaya lived highly, bnt at the tame tlm* he
rayed a good portion of bit earning* and put it in
good Investment*.
At the bar, he haa figured in tome ot the mint
Important cases ever tried In the state and his fees
In several of these case* were very handsome.
Among the most Intricate filvil cases In which bo
engaged, was the Dul'reewlll case, In which sev*
cral hundred thousand dollars were Involved.
This rase, he gained after a loug and hotly con
terted fight, and his fee was large, but not as largo
aa la generally supposed.
Most of the fortune of General Toombs was made
in fees of five hundred dollars and leas.
A remarkable thing about the financial career of
General Toombs was the safety of his tnvostnwoU.
When he loaned money he invariably took a
mortgage with power of sale or a deed, giving bor-
rower bond for titles. Aa an old friend of hU re
marked one day, "General Toombs never rode
without a laddie.??? He alwaya preferred real citato
security, and rarely took any other.
Ue has alwaya been a great believer in real estate
as an Investment. Probably nothing demonstrates
his belief in land better than his Texas invest
ment. Between forty and fifty years ago ho and
Governor Crawford purchased about 100,000 acre*
of land in Texas, at a nominal figure???from ten
twenty-five cent* an acre. For over twenty years
there lauds paid nothing. Governor Crawford last
faith in them, and gave his half interest to his son
and ron-lik-law. Pretty soon after, the land begun
to sell for from |3 to 95 per acre. Hcverel years
afterwards, in about ???77 or '78, General
Toombs bought out the half Interest
of Crawford and Mays, (the son and son-in-law
Governor Crawford, paying 927,500 In cash. On
this purchase alone he realised {50,000 profit. His
last sale of Texas lands was made In 18*1, when he
sold what he had left to an English company for
120.000 cash. His Texas land Investment paid him
in all over 9200,000. In 1807 be bought a largo
plantation In Wilkes county for one dollar per acre
and in leas than a year he aold It for seven dollars
per acre.
General Toombs was Interested largely In real
estate In Atlanta. He owned a ninth Interest in
the old Kimball bouse, and when It was burned ho
immediately subscribed toward the budding ol
another. In the new house ho iuvested about
1311.000 and was a member of the syndicate which
built it.
tils least fitness#
General Toombs has not l>cen a well man for tho
past year, but not until tho past summer did hi*
powerful constitution show signs of giving away.
When In Atlanta, in August, he remarked to Hens-
tor Frank Colley that he was "going home to die.???
Shortly after his return home he grew worse, and
never again left hls!house. (Ills mind began to fall,
and for the lari three months ho has carried him'
self, in his Imagination, back to the stormiest b it
most striking period of bis career. He has fought
his battles, both In the field and the forum,
over and over again, and during the post three
months he hat continually believed himself to be
In other places than his own homo, but during tha
whole time his mind has wandered to tha placo of
his residence. With the decay of the mental or*
gans his body began to grow more fall*, and tho
healthy and magnificent frame began to wither.

The Funeral#
Washington, (!??., December 17.???[Special.
Toombs dead looked not lees eloquent than
Toombs living!
At one looked upon the llpe sealed in eternal
silnire and thought of tho stonny acenoa
through which he had paused, what a lesson it
tnught of human will and of the omnipotent
band of God. The Innly was pluml upon a
cot laying east and west. As one entered tho
room the first object wen was the corpse of tho
gnat Georgian whose eloquence had electrified
nates and whose power had thrilled million*.
Mighty Toombs, more powerftil even in death
than life! The ruddy flow of health was gone;
the foil face, the laughing eye, the haughty
manner???all were replaced by the closed lUla,
the pinched expression and the pallor which

the inanimate man; its dissemblance from tho
original of life shows how much of tho soul,
how much of the spirit and how much of the
heart there was in the cold clay which now lies
before us.??? As if standing sentinel over hi*
dead friend was placed the marble bust of
Alexander II. Btephcns, on tho side looking
into the dead face of the man who in life w i*
his Ixvt Wend. As one looked at tho m irblo
face of Stephens jpuing into tho dead
face of TiHtmiis, the mind was Involuntarily
drawn to thp other member of the great trium
virate???Ben. Hill. Three nobler name* w.*re
never given to history. While Stephen*, rack-
id by the pains of seventy years of life, was
riding for the first time into tbe governorship,
Hill In the ftill prime of manly vigor fell a
victim to the insatiate mounter and uuthcttd

lieot, weary of life, laid down ttie staff and has

About this time an old colored urvn joined

night before he died he laid, 'Dan aro you

raid: Tam going. Tho cud has come. Voa
hod better bo ready, too, for we mast all meet

Yonr correspondent next saw Dr. O. W.
Mulligan, who bad been the general???s lifelong
physician. Said he: ???I knew Toombs from
my boyhood. I grew op under his influence,
and I can say that a more considerate man to
ward his friends, a kinder man toward his ser
vants, a more devoted husband or fonder father
never lived. When he returned from his hut
visit to Atlanta he said; 1 Doctor, you cannot
minister to a mind diseased. I feel that tho
end has come. I am ready to go.??? I tried to
talk him out of it, but it waa no use. His intel
lect became rapidly clouded, and for aix weeks
he had been unable to recognize even his clos
est friends. The day before he died his little
granddaughter, Louise Colley, about three
years old, clambered up on the bed to him*. To
her he gave his last smile of recognition, pit
ting her cn the head and calling her by
name.??? The lost man to look upon the fkco was
William F. Alexander, who had been the hus
band of tbe general???s eldest daughter, Mr.
Alexander stooped low and looked critically
Into tbe face, nrooe with a sigh and stopped
back. Then the lid wot slowly screwed on and
the faro of General Toombs was bnt a memory.
Tbe Toombs mansion is aet about three hun
dred yards back from the street, which is
reached by a bricked walk through a shrubbery
of mignonette and arbor vide. Tho pall
bearers at once took places, and lifting the
coffin, proceeded slowly down the walk to the
street^ where they deposited it upon
the hearse. Undo Billy and Dun,
the general's two old servants, claimed and
were accorded the placo of honor to lead tho
horses by the bits at the given signal, and at
Jl:.*i0a. m.
This was retd with effect, and was followed
by a selection from the fifteenth chapter of
the first Corinthians. Tbo choir then sang:

While tlio uudicnco was singing this beauti

heard to ring out clear above the rest of the
singers until at last It seemed m if he was
carrying the hymn alone. Daring the tinging
of this hymn,
a crmors inc ident
occurred. Mrs. Toombe, when living, a had _
pet shepherd dog. named Julius. Julhiiwent
to all the funerals and became an expected
participant. When his rooster died, the dog
bowled pittifolly, and from the house to tho
church kept making demonstrations around
the hearse. An effort was mado to koop
him out of tho church, but during the singing
of tbe hymn he slippod in and, walking down
the renter aisle, stood a moment In front of tho
coffin and taking his stand at the head of the
coffin kept it until tho services were O'

It waa with a sense of relief, therefore,
ben Bishop llt ckwith took tho platform, that
tho better *ido of Toomlie was spoken of.
Bishop Beckwith stated that when tho grand-

Balt Laks City, Utah, December 19.???
Charles W. Uemeuway, editor of tho Ogtlcn
Herald, was convicted lost night of libeling
Chief Justice Zane. The trial was had in tho
first district. Justice Powers ??? presiding. Judga
Zane did not know of tho libel till after tho
proceedings had been begun. The art ido
charged Judge Zane with being responsible in
his ruling for the ???murder??? of McMurrin hy
Deputy Marshal Uollius, and of shielding offi
cial* and others guilty of lewdnoas. It stated
that the action of Judge Zane ???mode it rea
sonably evident to the anti-Mormou villain* iu
Utah that federal justice would permit no
atrocity committed by an auti-Mormon against
a Mormon to be speediiyand condign ly pun
ished according to justice.???
Then followed tbe threat that if this thing
continued the Mormona would defend their
persona families and property with necessary
force. The article declared that there was a
limit to endurance even of Mormons and bade
???anti-Mormon a???wins, aspersers, judicial
malefactor* and robbers??? beware.
It said that Judge Zane rendered a
???coorked???decision in the Yandercook lewd and
lssrivious case, and that dozens and dosens ot
Mormons had been slaughtered in cold blood,
bnt in every single case tbe murderers escaped
punishment at the hands of the justice Which
thu* practically licensed murder.??? There was
more in the article of tbo some tone. Hemen-
way will be sentenced on January 4,18&6.
