Roue* 8. Egelston, Union veteran
and ex-captain In the regular army,
dropped dead at the residence of J. M.
glmonton, 408 Gordon street, at T:20
o'clock Wednesday evening.
Captain Egelston tva* a native of
jfew York state, having been bom
Jnere In 1821. Ho entered the war aa
captain In the Ninety-seventh New
York Volunteers and was subsequently
promoted to the rank of lieutenant col
onel He was mustered out at the close
of th# war. and on account of his ex
cellent record waa given a commission
u captain In the Eighteenth Infantry,
l* g A., and was stationed at old Fort
McPherson, which was then located
in what 1* now West End. Captain
Egelston retired from the army about
jlIO and entered the railway mall ser-
ytet, where'he served until hurt In a
wreck In the Atlanta yards about four
or live year* ago. He had acquired
considerable property and retired from
sctlve work after that time.
Captain Egelston was married In
New York before the war and he and
bis wife lived together for more than
fifty years. After a long Illness his
wife died several years ago and was
hurled In Galway, New York.
Built Msmorial Church.
While very modest and retiring, Cap
tain Egelston was known for his char
itable acts, and several years ago
built at his own expense the Rouse
Egelston Memorial Methodist church,
which stands at the corner of Fulton
and Washington streets. Here the fu
neral services will be held, Rov. Isaac
Miller officiating, though definite ar
rangements have not been decided upon
pending the receipt of advice from rel
atives who were communicated with
by Mr. Slmonton Wednesday night. It
Is probable that the Jocal post of the
G. A. R. will also hold services, as he
was a prominent member.
Captain Egelston had no children,
and the only relatives known to Mr.
glmonton are his nephews In New*
York.
On account of the fact that Ct.
Egelston’* 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 when he
sank down on the lounge Just after
leaving the supper table Wedneaday
night hit wish was fulfilled to the let-

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOGOOOOOOO
TALE OF THE TALL GROWTH
OF CABBAGE IN GEORGIA
Remote Precincts Where Heads.Are Reached
With Ladders and Caterpillars Are Fought
With Shot Guns.
An ex-Georgtan, living In this city,
gives some Interesting Information re
garding the size to which cabbages
attain In certain section* of the
Cracker State," saye The Richmond,
Va, News-Leader. It eo happens that
every one of these communities Is at
a great distance from any railroad,
poetofflee or telephone station and so
this botanical fact I* not generally
known.
R stems that “way back up yander
whar the Bide Ridge fraszlee out In
Kennesaw mountain” the average height
of cabbage etalks Is fifteen feet. The
head spreads out huge, round and
symmetrical like a three-hundred-
year-old oak.
The great slia of these vegetables
has been brought about by careful se
lection of the seed. These are taken
only from the very largest plants. It la
a well-known fact that seed taken
from plants possessing some unusual
quality tend to exaggerate that quality
In the next set grown.
Following this line of reasoning, the
gentleman from Georgia think* It Is
only a question of time when a cab
bage half as large as the world can be
grown. If they should b* grown any
larger than thle there would not be
enough soil to hold them.
These cabbages are set out In orch
ards. Thty overshadow the ground
to such an extent that other vegeta
bles cannot be grown around them, ex
cept that sometimes the head le cut off
and the stalk it used’for a bean pole.
The use of the stalk In place of logs
In mountain cabins Is considered shift
less, for the stalks shrivel so much In
a year or so that great gaps are left li
the walls.
The leaves are used for tents, bath
tub* 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 are gathered thus: ..
ladder Is placed against the stalk and
the farmer ascends and saws them
off one ist a time. On one occasion n
four-year-old child climbed one of
these ladders and got up In the cab
bage head. His foot slipped and he
was drowned In five feet of water
caught In one of the leaves.
One farmer had a laborer who was
always disappearing during working
hour*. One day while this man was
off, duty terrific yells were heard com
ing from the cabbage orchard. Several
men hurried In the direction of the
trouble. They found the loafer up a
big cabbage, waving oft a alx-foot
cabbage bug, which was standing on
It* hind legs and pawing at tht man
with hideous green claws. One of the
fanners 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. i
The monster caterplller was skinned,
stuffed and Is now said to be In a
museum In the mountains of Georgia.
But as the mueeum Is forty miles from
any railroad no one has yet gone there
to get a photograph of the monstrosity.
MASKED BANDIT BOARDS
GERMAN EXPRESS TRAIN
AND ROBS RICH WOMAN
By MALCOLM CLARKE.
Special Cable—Copyright.
Berlin, July 24.—An extraordinary
outrage, smacking of the American
"wild weet,* rather than a European
country, occurred on an express train
from Berlin to Nordenery, the fashion
able seaside resort, during the nlrfht.
Frau Noelle, the wife of a high of
ficial In the ministry of finance, left
Berlin at 11 o’clock last night for Nor-
deney, accompanied by her two sons,
aged 12 and 11; her daughter, aged 6,
and the letter’s governess. The live
occupied a reserved flrst-clae* com
partment, constructed on the English
>lan. After turning the gas low, all
live settled down to sleep.
Robber Had Revolver.
Immediately after the train left
Rathenow station the door of the com
partment WO* opened and a strange
man entered, holding a revolver In his
right hand. The terrified occupant* of
the compartment could see by the dim
light of th* lowered ga* Jet* that hi*
face was partly covered by a mask,
being thus unrecognisable. >
The masked Intruder shouted—In the
regular “penny horrible" style—"Your
money or your life!"
Demanded More Monty.
Frau Noelle immediately handed him
three notes ot the value of 6 pound*
each. The masked brigand seised them
snd said:
"Not enough. You have more, hand
over all your money or I Are."
Frau Noelle produced another not*.
The robber then compelled her to turn
out all her pockets and hand over every
coin she had, afterwards repeating '
process with each of the children
the governess. The total plunder
•mounted to 2128. Pocketing thla sum,
he opened the door and disappeared aa
suddenly aa he had come.
Victim* Frlghtsned.
The victims wer* too frlghtsned to
think of pulling the 'alarm cord and
sat, shivering with fear, until the train
stopped at the next station, Sendai,
where Frau Noelle reported th* out
rage. The police have been unable to
solve the mystery of the masked rob
ber’s disappearance while th* train waa
running at full speed.
Frau Noelle and the governess are
III with nervous prostration.
