Illness of David Davis.—Indian
apolis, Ind., June 20.—The Journals
Bloomington, 111., ispecial say fa, A
point has been reached in the illness
of Ex-Vice President David Davis
said his physician to-day, at which it
“thought best by his family to give
the public a statement of the great
(rr-i vitv of his condition. Mr. Davis is
%Iry ffl indeed, and it will be but little
less than a miracle if Ihe should rally.
He was taken ill with a carbuncle on
bis shoulder at Chicago, on May 2.
Up to two weeks ago his condition,
though at times alarming, seemed to
be one of gradual improvement. Two
weeks ago severe erysipelas sat in,
and it is growing worse. For some
weeks his sufferings have been inten
sified and complicated by Bright’s dis
ease. Several Chicago doctors have
been summoned and a consultation
will be held to-morrow.
beyond hope of recovery*.
Bloomington, 111., June 21.—A con
sultation of Chicago and Blooming
ton physicians to-day pronounced
Judge Davis beyond hope of recov
ery.
Death of David Davis.
HE
PASSES PAINLESSLY AWAY, SUR
ROUNDED BY' HIS FAMILY.
Bloomington, III., June 2Uth.—
David Davis died at 6 o’clock this
morning. He sank! into a comatose
state twelve hours before the end,
and passed painlessly away, surround
ed by his family. During the early
part of last evening he appeared to be
failing, and it was felt certain that he
could not survive the night. At 11
o’clock he revived somewhat, and was
given milk and stimulants in small
quantities. The effect was worse,
however, for he at once relapsed into
a comatose condition, his pulse becom
ing very feeble. During the succeed
ing three hours he failed gradually,
his respiration growing noticeably
weaker until th« end came.
The cause of Judge Davis’ death
was Bright’s disease of the kidneys,
aggravated by a weakened condition
of the system dating from the time
when he became afflicted with a car
buncle. His last hours were calm and
peaceful.
. .The funeral will be held next Tues
day at 3 o’clock. The remains will be
buried in Bloomington Cemetery.
The death is received in Blooming
ton with profound sorrow. Flags are
at half-mast, bells are tolling, and
stores and houses are dressed in
mourning.
The end was peaceful, without a
struggle. Judge Davis’ physicians
say the immediate cause of death was
erysipelas, the outcome of a malig
nant carbuncle, which first appeared
April 30th, but that diabetes, which
must have been insidiously working
for two years, was the primary cause,
and to it is attributed his rapid de
cline in health. For a week before
the end he had been unconscious
most of the time.

Death.—Mr. Thomas M. Collins-
worth died in the Asylum last Tues
day. He had an attack of paralysis
last year, which gradually so affected
his mind that his family and friends
deemed it to be to his own interest to
send him to the Asylum to be under
the treatment of its excellent super
intendent, Dr. Powell. He was sent
there about two weeks since. On
Tuesday last he had another attack of
(paralysis, and died during the day.
His remains were brought up to his
home, near Eatonton, Wednesday
night, and after funeral services
Thursday morning the corpse was
interred in the family burying ground
near his residence where lie the re
mains of his father, Rev. John Col-
linswortli, and his most estimable
mother.
He was a Christian gentleman, and
a member of the Masonic fraternity,
by which order his remains were bur
ied. Thus has passed away another
of Putnam’s worthy, highly esteemed

“From a gentleman of Augusta who

is of local origin, but there is no clue
whatever as to who are the guilty
parties.”
The Savannah News says: “Some
very important matters will come be

that small men cannot handle wisely

people have a deep interest. In fact,
the welfare of tlie State is to a certain
extent dependent upon them. The
best men, therefore, in each county
ought to be sent to the Legislature.

A queer story comes from Clinton,

sickened and died. The body was
put in a coffin and the watchers set
up with the corpse for twenty-four
hours. At midnight they were sur
prised to hear a deep groan in the
coffin and all fied except one, a Ger
man named Wabbeking. This brave
fellow removed the lid of the coffin
and at once saw that Daniels was
alive. He seized the body and placed
it in an upright position. A few
gasps, a shudder and the cprpse
spoke. When the* frightened watch
ers returned to the room the dead
man, that is. the man who was not
dead, was sitting in a chair and talk
ing about his experience as a corpse.
He says lie heard everything that was
going on around him, even the sobe
of his relatives and the preparation
for the funeral, but could not move

Murder in Putnam.^-Eatontox,
Ga., June 18.—About dark yesterday
evening, on the plantation of Mrs.
Ward, about twelve miles from here,
Dave Johnson shot and killed Eman

Johnson procured a shot gun and
went to the house of Rhea and called
him to the door, and shot him in the

Johnson has fied to safer parts.
Liquor licenses in the city of Atlan
ta expire next Wednesday. The city
is now prohibition. The Atlanta Con
stitution has been recently interview
ing the business men of the city on
the prospect, the chief argument of
the liquor interest in thef special elec
tion being that prohibition would kill
the city. Without exception the per
sons interviewed pronounce business
in a perfectly healthy condition, and
the outlook more flattering than for
several years past.
Natural Language.—Years ago

who lived alone in the Alps, surround
