THS EVENING CAPITOL: ATLANTA, BUU MONDAY. AUGUST 2, 1886 ONE MOKE STEP AND JEFFERSON! GAULT WILL REACH MIN GRAVE. A Wrecked Specimen of Humanity 100 Proud lor tie Poor Hoose. “Doctori Oh, doctor I” And the reporter saw Dr. Ridley alight from his buggy and advance toward the stairway over the drug store at the corner of Peachtree and Decatur streets. A Capitol reporter heard the strange voice, ’though low, and he stepped hastily to the foot of the stairway to see what the trouble was. There sat an old frame who really looked as though he must remain in the sun an hour to insure a good shadow. The newspaper man could not understand what the old man was whispering to the doctor, but saw the man of medicine reach his band into bis pocket, withdraw it and band to the old wrecked body a piece of silver money. The doctor then got into his buggy and moved < ff. The reporter Blood for a moment and gazed upon the old man, who held the piece of money in bis hand, and seemed to be suffering almost the agones of death, breathing as though his lungs were not larger than a nut shell and the passages to them were closed. Looking up into the face of the scribe he managed to say : “ I’ve got asthma.” “How long have you had it?” asked the scribe. “Two years.’’ “How long have you been living in Atlanta?” “Ever since ’54.” “What’s your name?” “Jefferson Gault. Everybody knows me. lam an old plasterer, and have worked for the peo ple in Atlanta twenty years. “Have you got any folks?” “Yes, sir; mur daughters; two of them mar ried to men that are of no account, the other two can’t even help themselves, as they are sick most of the time.” “Where do you live?” “I live with my children on Marietta street.” The old man then seemed to be almost ex hausted, the paroxysms were so great. After panting for a little oxygen for a few moments, he suddenly looked up and said, “You are a reporter, can von do anything for me?” “Why don’t you go to the poor house?” asked the scribe. “Well, I am not able to work, but I do hate to go to the poor bouse. I was once well to do in this city.” The reporter turned to walk off deeply im pressed with the fact that for the lack of suffi cient oxygen and pure air the carbonic acid was fast destroying the lung tissue and that, under all conditions, no power on earth could sustain the life of this old fellow a great while. The reporter moved off, but the weak voice of Jefferson Gault came to him, saying: “Help me, if you can.” The old man is a perfect wreck, and is badly emaciated, but the scribe could not impart to him a great deal of sympathy since he would not go to the Benevolent Home, where he be longed, and where proper care and attention would be given him. After going a short way the reporter was asked by a negro boy if be had seen old Mr. Gault around there anywhere. The answer was given and the reporter learn ed that in a little cloth that the negro boy was carrying, was some food that Gault had sent after to a restaurant. Would it not be right and proper for the city authorities to press this old man to make his home at the poor house ? Some of these morn ings he will perhaps be found dead on a street corner. He is now almost naked, no coat and not a full garment. Be is continually on the streets. He was oonce in the hospital, but came from there of his own accord. He is another unfortunate, and it is the opin ion of many that he should properly be placed in a benevolent home. For tlze Ladies. The Marquise is the newest lace. Striped etamine is the ruling fabric. Jewelry is not worn with summer toilets. The rage for black stockings is on the wane. Bustles are less exaggerated in Paris than in Landon. Moonstone jewelry set in line diamonds iz very fashionable. Gauze fans have charming designs signed by artists of note. Straw embroidery is one of the novelties for dress trimmings. Marquise lace has small Spanish designs on Chantilly grounds. Tulle veils merely cover the eyes and keep the fronMttitiD order. Tight ik<nt» 1* pot practiced by the French women of fashion «the day. Puffed chemisette* of mull and nainsook are pretty and cool for summer wear. Pongee silks have twilled and frise stripes for harmonizing or contrasting color. Sailor hats, Cowes caps, and sailor frocks are correct seaside wear for young girls. Suede stockings are worn with black low shoes and black dresses, but not in the city. Reds and deep blues remain the favorite sea side colors for walks on the beach and bathing. Chemisettes to resemble pleated shirt fronts are worn with summer frocks, the finish of the deep linen collar and man’s necktie being con sidered indispensable. Crazy cloth comes in cream and pure white, buttercup yellow, tan, ecru, pale rose, baby blue and delicate heliotrope. The traveling dress, this season, to be in high fashion, must resemble a riding habit in simplicity and severity of effect. Malines lace is revived for ditjss coverings and trimmings over white or fluted silk or moire. ’ Mousseline de sole is a favorite for evening dresses. It is to be had iu all the fashionable evening tints. White wool is the favorite fabric for the sea side, and is worn by persons of all ages—youth ful figures wearing it without accessories of color, while those of mature years use any of the sober fashionable tints to subdue its light. In th® mountains, grays, blues and heather mixtures, with a dash ot color to brighten them, are the favorites for utility costumes. To give an exact description of the present styles is very difficult, as the variety is endless in everything appertaining to a lady’s toilet, one must bear in mind that the individuality of the wearer must he carefully studied before de ciding upon the choice of any article of dress, from the most important to the smallest of its parts. In skirts, we can select those that are gathered, draped or plaited. There are whole tuniques and half tuniques; waists have single and double points, or they have belts and are plaited or gathered. It only remains to select from these styles, as well as from the different fabrics in use, and this is iu reality the hardest thing to accomplish. The fronts of waists continue to have pufied or gathered pieces, plain plastrons or rests. There is worn this season, in addition to the “corsage vests,” which serves for dresses for morning wear, a waist with a verv long body, with the smallest basque imaginable. Pointed basques serve for dressy purposes. There are also waists cut in two or three points, or with two Saps in the back and two uneven points in front. Peculiar coat waists have two long square ends falling to the middle of the skirt, and large re vers opening over a gauze plastron. Read Thorn’s Grocery “ad.” and save money.

The game was a loose one Atlanta, winning as she pleased, as the Central City boys were with out a catcher, Daniels having a sore hand and played in the field. Stearns, the first baseman, went behind the bat. Chamberlin, one of the boss twirlers of the league, occupied the box, but he soon found out that he could not do him self justice without sl catcher behind the-bat, so he gave way to Billie Geiss, the second base man, who pitched the game through, and was hammered unmercifully. The team was dis heartened having to face such a hard hitting and fine base-running team as the Champions with out a catcher was enough to make any team nervous and is an excuse for the errors they piled up, one after another. On the other band the home team played a fine game only one error being made, and Cline made that trying to get a ball out in left field which he should have left alone. Lyons and Stricker covered their respective bases in great shape. Conway pitched a fine game of ball, allowing the Central City boys only three scattering hits. Conway and Purcell led at the bat with the others close behind. SCORE BY INNINOS. Atlanta - -- -- - 3 4104 2—14 Macon - -- -- -00000 0 — 0 Savannah —Savannah fl, Charleston 4.

Cloth ing House, 30 Whitehall street. A Great Invention lor Farmer*. One of the most practical and useful inven tions we have seen for some time, is now on ex hibition at the Agricultural Department in the State Capitol. It is the Brosius Patent Axle Wagon, and is so constructed that a broken spindle can be removed and a new one inserted in five minutes. Below we copy a circular letter which will give a full description of the wagon and its advantages over the old time mode of transportation. The object in having the inner ends of the spindles of mv axles slotted is to make the axels adjustable to the gauge of track. It is a well known fact that when the tire of a wheel has been reset the wheel will be dished more than it was before, and consequently not track with the other wheels on a new wagon. To avoid this I draw the spindles out as far on the slots as possible when the wheels are new, and secure them by the nuts aud bolts, and as the tires get loose and require reseting, I move the spindles in by loosening the nuts on the bolts and tightening them after the spindles are adjusted. In this manner the wheels may be kept at one desired gauge of track and may be adjusted in a moment of time. J. M. Brosius, Patentee, Atlanta, Ga.
