THE REMAINS OF AVGCITVS BIRO - Reached the City at Half Past 12 O’Clock To-day. The lifeless body of Augustus Bird, the noble and much loved young Atlantian who was killed by a train at Philadelphia last Saturday morn ing, reached Atlanta at 12:30 o’clock this after noon over the Richmond and Danville railroad. The train was met at the depot by Mr. Swift and a large number of friends and removed di rectly to Swift’s undertaking establishment, there to be opened and looked upon by his for mer fellow-men, who crowded in and beheld the fem'liar remains with saddened hearts and pro found sensations of grief. At 1 o’clock a Capitol reporter crowded his way into the room and to the side of the deceased. There he found the corpse of the much es teemed youth, surrounded by a score or more young men of Atlanta, who bad spent many a pleasant hour with young Bird, and who had learned to love, esteem and cherish him. Upon the advice of Prof. James White, who bad known the deceased for a number of years, the remains were carried to the.residence of the grief-stricken mother. The friends of deceased were glad to find he was placed in a costly casket and shrouded nicely. The burial will take place in Oakland ceme tery this afternoon at 3 o’clock. Another Case of Too Much Whisky Seems to be the absorbing topic of the day with both antis and prohis, the most interesting with the Recorder in the way of imposing fines thereby enriching the finances of the city to such an extent that if persisted in, there is not a bank vault in our growing and prosperous city that will hold the cash derived from such sources, but while the people are discussing the merits of spirits and the law as viewed by his Honor, it is necessary for the business men who are interested in the welfare of Atlanta and protection from imposition to remember that the United States Traders’ Protective Union is making it red hot for delinquents who are dis posed to not pay for what they get.

A Mail Agent Collides with a Freight Train. Yesterday afternoon at 3 o’clock Mr. R. S. Eggleston, mail agent on the Central road, came near being crushed to death by a freight train. Mr. Eggleston was walking down the State road with his umbrella held in such a po sition as to abstract the view in front. Just after he had passed under the Broad street bridge, he collided with a freight train which was backing down into the yard. Mr. Eggleston was thrown several feet from the track, but miraculously escaped any injuries except a slight cut on the left cheek. The umbrella was considerably worsted. Mr. Eggleston went out on his train this morn ing, but admits he still feels a little queer when thinking of his narrow escape. CRUELTY TO AN ANIMAL. A Negro Arrested for Driving a Dilap idated Mule. This morning Patrolmen Smith and Abbott pulled up at the stationhouse with Tom Bailey, colored, and a dilapidated mule. Tom was docketed for cruelty to animals and the piece of mule placed in a stall in the city stables. Tom’s mule was all right except the first half of him. The forelegs were devoid of bide, and it is with great difficulty the animal manages to move along. Tom contended that this was all a mistak*, and that his nag moved oil'so “peartly” that it wasidifficult to stop him. The case will be investigated to-morrow morning by the recorder.

Mr. Mayson requests us to make some correc tion on the reports printed about his having sold liquor to a drunken man. He was not arrested, but after the case was sworn out against him, the Judge sent for him, and Mr. Mayson went to bis office and took the papers and placed them in the hands of his law yer. Mr. Mayson also states that be considers the case more in the nature of persecution than anything else. As we learn about the case from others it looks very much that way. It seems that * drunken man went down into Mr. Mayson’s place of business and was refused liquor. He went out and sent five dollars in by a negro man who bought the liquor and paid $1 00 therefor, receiving back $4.00 in change. While the negro was receiving bis change the drunken man returned and Mr. Mayson s clerk told him to go away, that be could not get anything. Then the negro and drunken man went out and when on the sidewalk the negro gave the drunken man the bottle and change. Since then the drunken man has not been heard from. The case it seems was brought by two gentlemen that stood on the street. The case will be tried this evening at 3 before Judge Landrum. All kinds of furniture very cheap.

On examination I find that cf the articles placed on the board, those I 'advertise in the daily papers are quoted incorrectly, giving higher prices. Other articles appear that I do not advertise, but sell far cheaper thau I am quoted, and the remaining articles are so unsalable and unrelia ble that Ido not keep them. I also find that on this blackboard the prices of staple articles do not appear.
