Atkinson, which occurred very un ezpectedly at his home, on Jackson street, on Saturday evening, at 7:30 o’clock. Captain Atkinson has been a sufferer from rhuematism for the last two years, and he seemed to recog nize the fact that bis end was near, for he made all the arrangements for the funeral a short time ago. He had been slightly ailing all day Saturday, but no worse than usual, but at dark he grew suddenly worse, and died before his family could be summoned to his bedside. He was born in Louisville, Ga., about the year 1838,and graduated at the Georgia Military Institute, in 1860. He entered the war as a lieutenant and served until the last gun was fired. He was a member of the Confederate Veterans Associa tion which body was present at the funeral yesterday afternoon. The body was interred in West View.

L’se Dr. Calhoun’s Liver Pills. VOTE FOR MYNATT. BECAUSE HR WILL REPHEKENJ TOL'IC INTEREST IN COMGHESS. Some Reasons Why the Citizens of Fnlton County snoutd Vote for a Man of the Peuple, To-Morrow the people of Fulton county will be called upon to cast their vote for a represent ative to the next Congress, or at least, for the Democratic nominee for thatoflice. Who shall it be? That’s a question that each voter must an swer for himself. And when the question is being answered, don’t listen to the pleadings of party or men, but ask yourself, “who is the best man to rep resent rrv intere-ts?” There are but two men before the people of Fulton county. Col. Pryor L. Mvnatt, A MAN OK THE rXOPLIC, and Mr. N.J. Hammond, the present encum bent. Both candidates have addressed the people. Col. Mynatt stated what his position was on various questions and showed exactly how and where he stood, so that the people might know how he would represent them if elected. Mr. Hammond claimed to have done all he could and failed at times because he could heli, it. The rest of bis talk in making excuses for not doing certain things which the people required of him. Mr. Hammond has done all he could do. Any man would have done all he could do in eight years. • Every man has a certain amount of ideas and plans, and Mr. Hammond has long ago car ried out all of his, and now it is time that a new man WITH NEW IDKAS and new plans was sent to Congress from this district. Mr. Hammond is a good man. But that is not the only requisite for a repre sentative in Congress. Mr. Hammond is a smart man. But that is not the only requisite for a repre sentative in Congress. A man may be brilliant and good, and yet do his people no good in Congress. Is this not Mr. Hammond’s case ? Col. Mynatt is a good man and a smart man, and he will “work,” that is it—work for the good of the people. In eight long years what has Mr. Ham mond done for Atlanta while she was OKOANINO AND STRUGGLING under the oppression of the railroads, while every line entering the city was discriminating against her? He enters into lengthy explana tions of “why nots,” but what has he done? Yon have beard Col. Mynatt speak, is not his position on this question the position of every merchant in Atlanta? Will he not do something for the good of the people in this direction? Most surely he will. Bow does Mr. Hammond stand on the labor ing question? When a representative of Congress takes his seat to represent the people, is it not supposed he will represent the laboring men? Are not they a large portion of our population? Has Mr. Hammond ever taken care of their interests? Has he represented them? * If not, has he done his whole duty? Can the LABORING MIN SUPPORT HIM, and do justice to themselves? Certainly they cannot, and it is not surprising that they will vote solid for Col. Mynatt. Who is running themost straight forward and most honest campaign? Who packed the courthouse convention? Why did they do it? Simply because Douglas county acts Thurs day and will go for Mynatt, and the Hammond men were afraid if "that county voted before Fulton it might have a bad effect. So they packed the convention and appointed to-morrow as the day to hold the primary elec tion in this county. What will the people do about such trickery? Just cast their vote against it and give Col. Mynatt a rousing majority. NO ARGUMINTS ARI NEEDED to convince a sensible, clea - -minded man that be should vote for Col. P. L. Myuatt. That is, if he wants a true representative in Congress. If he wants a man to talk and then come home aud make excuses, Col. Mynatt is not the gen tleman he is looking for. But if he wants a man to work and work hard, let him by all means cast his ballot to morrow for Col. Mynatt. Col. Mynatt is the people’s candidate, and is not run ny rings and cliques. The old wire pulling politicians of the county are not his sup porters. Then let the people rally to his support to morrow and give him a handsome majority. A DESTUCTIVE BLAZE. Six Hou ace Valued at *IO,OOO Destroy ed by Fire Saturday Nifflat. Saturday night about ten o’clock, just after a meeting of the Lone Star Lodge, of the Knights of Labor, in Loftis Hall, a blaze was seen issuing from one of the front windows. An alarm was turned in and soon the fire de partment were rattling over the stones on their wav toward the bright blaze in the northwest. A Capitol reporter was soon on hand applying the repertorial gimlet. The origin of the tire was supposed to be the explosion of a lamp left burning in the hall. The following is a list of those burned out: Mr. Jas. Loftis lost his store, a large two story building, the upper part used as a hall, lie also lost part of his stock of goods, pnd bis dwelling just adjoining. The loss falls very heavily upon him rs he buried a daughter 13 vears old on Friday. He was completely over come and was removed from the scene of his loss bv his friends. Mr. Robert Thomas lost two houses, one oc cupied by himself and the other by Mr. Y augbn as a store. Mr. Jordan’s residence was the next to catch and soon after the house occupied by Mrs. Wooten was enveloped in the devouring Hanies. On account of the distance from water, the tire men were well-nigh powerless. They succeeded, however, in getting one stream upon the flames, and thus held the fire iu check. NOTES. Three thousand two hundred feet of hose were required to reach the fire. Hacks were in great demand, as a great many were under the impression that some of the large manufactories were on fire. A special squad of police were employed to guard the goods piled up on the opposite side of the street, from the hands of pilfering darkies. Mr. J. S. Allen, while busily engaged in re moving some goods, had his watch stolen by a darkey who picked it off and disappeared in the crowd. The Merchanla fan Ferget. The merchants of Atlanta cannot get over Hammond's ignoring the “Cullom Bill.” Merchants, if you want laws made for the management of the railroads so that they can not discriminate against vou, be sure and cast your vote to-morrow for r. L. Mynatt. The merchants of Atlanta are not In faror of Hammoad’s re-election, because he is careless about her mercantile interest. Will vou countenance the courthouse business of last Monday night ? Mr. Hammond is pretty good on speech-mak ing, but Col. Mynatt can talk just as well, and will back his words with “work.” Has Mr. Hammond done this ? Laboring men of Atlanta, now the opportunity is offered you to have a representative in ton , gress. Will you avail yourself of it ? TUB EVENING CAPITOL; ATLANTA. SA- MONDAY, JULY 19, 1886 LODGELOKE. K. AND L. OF 11.

Howard Douglas, of Cincinnati, who was re cently elected .Supreme Chancellor Commander of the world at Toronto, Ont., was initiated a member of the Knights of Pythias in May. 1869, and took such an active interest in the workings of the order that in December of the same year he formed Douglass Lodge, named in honor of its organizer. This lodge is to-day one of the strongest in membership and wealth in the State of Ohio. He was elected Past Grand Chancel lor for merritorious services in 1870, and at the session of the Grand Lodge in the same year was made Supreme Representative; and in 1883, at the Supreme Council in New Orleans, he was honored with the Vice Chancellorship. MASONS. A Masonic journal, in answer to the question, “What are lodges to do?” says: “Make their balls tidy and attractive; put competent men in office; do good work. If King Solomon is rep resented—represent him consistently, as they would do in a chapter, etc , and cause Hiram to be appropriately clothed. It would be esteem ed absurd for a man to play the part of Richard 111., while dressed in a business suit, dusty boots and slouch hats; and yet lodges do just such inappropriate things. A master describes a dirty cotton apron as a lamb skin—the em blem of purity I and presents .it to the candi date, only to take it from him a moment after wards I These are but samples of the absurdi ■ ties practiced in the lodge, and yet we wonder why men seek the ‘higher degrees’ where they partake of the beauties of consistency and ne glect the incongruous mixture that is found in the lodge.” CI TY NEWS.

"Colonel, what are those four gay red wagons doing there?” and the stranger pointed to four red wagons drawn up in line on the side of Ala bama, at the time and place spoken of in the head. “Why do you ask?” “I did not know but that it was a funeral pro cession of the Red Antis preparing for the fun eral of the dram shops.” “Why no my kind sir; those are delivery wag ons for a live grocery house. Swing around this way and you can read the man’s sign.** They did so, and upon the sides of the wag ons were “T. C. Mayson, groceries, etc., 3 and 5 Marietta.” Well, well, well; I was mistaken sure enough,” said the stranger. “I thought it might be con nected with the red badge veterans, but does Mayson use all those wagons for his little store?" "Little! well that’s heavy. His store is small, but it is crammed full of the nicest, purest, freshest, cheapest groceries, staple and fancy, that there is in the city. He has more goods in that store than anv of the big store grocers.” “You don’t say?’ “Y es, but I do, though, and talk about four wagons. He just keeps them on the trot all day long except at this hour, when the stock is get ting dinner.” “His trade is big for a fact to keep four teams. What is the cause?” “That question is one not easily answered briefly, but it can perhaps be summed up in the fact that he has been in the business for many years, and when he tells you anything about the quality or prices of the goods he sells the pub lic know they can rely upon it ” “And then, stranger, there is another thing Atlanta has gained, her reputation with such men as him. A fine grocery store selling pure goods, a great variety of all fancy, as well as staple articles, at reasonable prices does a great deal towards building up a city. Y'ou can get at bis store all table delicacies relishes and appetizing specialties, pure Jersey butter, de licious hams, breakfast bacon and Fulton mar ket boneless corned beef, fresh vegetables of all kinds: a plenty of I*. P. P., Diamond Patent and all other first-class brands of flour, and almost anything you can call for.” Here the Colonel stopped, wiped the perspira tion from bis heated brow, and after a moment said : “ I beg pardon, stranger, but when I get to talking about men like him, I But what are you doing in the city ? ‘‘l am prospecting.” “For business or for for a home?” “Both.” “I wish you Iqck. Shall be glad to assist you," and the Colonel handed the stranger his card and bid him good day. FORAN Y STYLE Ot Picture Frames, go to Sam Walker. 2q Marietta street.
