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- 10 BUILD LINK CONNECTING ROADS Bpsctnl to The Georgian.

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.

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.
