THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN riltTRftPAY. JULY CAPT. EGELSTON HAS PASSED AWAY Was Officer in Regular Ar my at Old Fort Mc Pherson. House S. Egelston, Union veteran •nil ex-captain In the regular army, dropped dead at the residence of J. M. glmonton. 401 Gordon street, at 7:J0 o’clock Wednesday evening. Captain Egelston was a native of j>w Tork state, having been boro there In 1822. He entered the war aa captain In the Ninety-seventh New Tork Volunteers and was subsequently promoted to the rank of lieutenant cot on el. He was mustered out at the close of the war, and on account of his ex cellent record was given a commission as captain In the Eighteenth Infantry, V S. A., and was stationed at old Fort McPherson, which was then located in what is now West End. Captain periston retired from the army about 1870 and entered the railway mall ser vice, where he served until hurt In a wreck In tha Atlanta yards about four or five years agd. He ■ had acquired considerable property and retired from scllve work after that time. Captain Egelston was married New Vork before the war and he and his wife lived together for more than fifty year*. After a long lllneea his wife died several years ago and was buried In Galway, New York. Built Memorial Church. While very modest and retiring, Cap tain Egelston was known for his char itable acts, and several years ago he built at his own expense the Rouse S. Egelston Memorial Methodist church, which stands at the corner of Fulton and Washington streets. Here the fu neral services will be held, Rev. Isaac Miller officiating, though definite ar rangements have not been decided upon pending the receipt of advice from rel atives who were communicated with bv .Mr. Slmonton Wednesday night. It Is probable that the local post of the G. A. R. will also hold services, as he w as a prominent member. Captain Egelston had no children, and the only relatives known to Mr. Slmnnton are hie nephewa in New York. On account of the fact that Captain Egelston’1 wife died after a long Illness he had several times expressed a wish that when he died the end might come quickly and without pain, and wl\en he sank down on the lounge Just after leaving the supper table Wednesday night his wish was fulfilled to the let- ITHE TV/O BEAUTIFUL MARYS OF THE KINGDOM OF ROUMANIA The two Mary* of Roumanla.

The use of the stalk In place of logs In mountain cabins Is considered shlft- lese, for the stalks shrivel so much In a year or so that great gaps aro left In the walls. The leaves are used for tents, bath tubs and parachutes. They are not used much for making cigars, because a smoke made from these giants Is so strong that only men. with very tough systems can use them. The leaves ore gathered thus: ladder Is placed against the stalk and the farmer ascends and saws them off one at a lime. On one occasion a four-year-old child climbed one of these ladders and got up In the cab bage head. Ills foot slipped and he was drowned In live feet of water caught In one of the leaves. One farmer had a laborer who was always disappearing during working hours. One day while this man was off duty terrific yells were heard com ing from the cabbage orchard. Beveral men hurried In the direction of the trouble. They found the loafer up a big cabbage, waving oft n six-foot cabbage bug, which was standing on Its hind legs and pawing at the man with hideous green claws. One of the farmers ran to the house, got a shot gun and poured two barrels of buck- shot Into the poisonous creature. With a shriek of agony he curled up and died. • The monster caterplller was skinned, stuffed and la now said to be In a museum In the mountains of Georgia.

The terrified occupants of the compartment could see by the dim light of the lowered ga» Jem that his face was partly covered by a mask, being thus unrecognizable. , The masked Intruder shouted—In the regular "penny horrible" styW—“Your money or your life!” Demanded Mors Monsy. Frau Noelle Immediately handed him three notes ot the value of 6 pounds each. The masked brigand seized them and said: “Not enough. You have more, hand over all your money or I lire." Frau Noelle produced another note. The robber then compelled her to turn out all her pockets and hand over every coin she’had, afterwards repeating the process with each of the children and the governess.
