BY HIS OWN HAND.
A Student of tlie University Suicides iu
Thomasville.
Athens, Ga. Banner.
Yesterday a letter was received by Mr.
Lewis Brumby, conveying the intelligence
that a Mr. Hawkins, who has been in the
junior class of the university during the fall
term, suicided at his home, in Thomasville,
a few nights since. Mr. Hawkins and a
fellow student, Mr. Frank Smith, had en
gaged rooms and board at Mrs. Brumby’s
for the coming term, and the letter notified
Mrs. Brumby of the tragedy, and told her
that she need not keep Hawkins’ room any
longer. From the few particulars given in
the letter ,i t seems t hat it was abou t some love
affair, that in Hawkins’ eye robbed the
world of all its charms, and made him a
traveler to “that country whence none re -
turn.” On the night of the awful deed Mr.
Hawkins had been to a social gathering,
whefft he had spent most the evening near
the object of his affection. He escorted h
home, and a gentleman who was pass!
that way heard him, as he was about to say
goodnight at her father’s door, ask her for
her answer, and she replied “It is no.”
“Then,” said he, “good-bye, forever.” The
next morning he was found dead in bis
bed, with his throat cut from ear to ear. He
was an only child, and his death is widely
lamented. In the university he was ago ’>
student, stood high in his classes, and was a
very popular fellow.
NEVER POSTPONE A WEDDING.
How a Macon, Ga., Merchant Eost and a
Railroad Conductor Won a Bride.
A special dispatch from Americus, Ga.,
says: The unexpected marriage of Miss
Georgia Laramore, of this city, to Mr. Ward
Holt, Conductor on the Southwestern Road,
has made quite a stir here. Mr. Holt being
aware that Miss Laramore was to marry a
prominent Macon merchant in a day or two
stepped over to the hotel veranda where she
was standing and congratulated her. Hold
ing up a letter, she said:
“Do you see this? It is a request for a
postponement, which I have granted.”
“Why,” replied the conductor, whee
train was ready to leave, “I would not have
agreed to that. Do not postpone a wed
ding. If he is not ready I am, and you
know I love you Will you marry me?”
She dropped her head; dropped her eyes,
and the next moment raised them to his,
and although filled with tears, the answer
was plain.
The conductor delayed his train for five
minutes, procured his license from an Ordi
nary who was within call, and in less time
than it takes to tell it, the two were made
one. The conductor then pulled out with
bis train, having first telegraphed to Macon
for a conductor to meet him midway. The
relief arrived at the place designated, and
Mr. Holt returned to his bride. The bride’s
letter of postponement to her jilted lover,
by the kindness the Postmaster, was with
drawn from the mails.
YOUNG LADIES AS PALI-BEABEKS.
The Strange Request of a Dying Girl Car
ried Out.
A special dispatch from Baltimore, says:
Eight young girls clad in white satin and
carrying white cal las, acted as pall-bearers
to-day at the funeral of Miss A. M. Tewes,
the daughter of Mr. Joseph Tewe-, formerly
a well known citizen of East Baltimore.
The services were conducted at St. Mi
chael’s Catholic Church, and attracted an
immense crowd. The girls were pall-bear
ers in accordance with the dying request of
the girl. The brother of the deceased girl,
Father Frank Tewes, celebrated requiem
mass, and another brother, Father William
Tewes, acted as sub-deacon. The young
lady pall-bearers were: Misses M. Timer,
Eva Naglegast, M. Deichelman, M. Wamp
bach, Jennie Ruth, M. Heir, A. Smith and
Kate Treuschler. The deceased was 16
years old, and was the leader of society in
her section of the city. Two large express
wagons carried the many floral offerings to
the cemetery.
Iu a Mood for Regeneration.
Wall Street News.
He placed his cane and hat on a chair
and took a seat, with the remark:
‘ Your wife has been a member of my
congregation for the last two years.”
“Yes, I believe so.”
“And I have felt it my duty to have a
short conversation with you in regard to
your own soul. I desire to speak with you
more particularly in regard to gambling in
grain. Do you realize the enormity of the
offense ?”
“I think I do. Just read that.” It was
a telegram from Chicago reading: “Our
loss in the late deal will be about $14,000
each.”
The preacher didn’t stay for any farther
“wrassling,” being convinced that his
“hearer” must realize the enormity, and
somethin a to boot.
She Knew a Tiling or Two.
Hartford Times.
A Preston girl was caught in the belting
in the stockinet factory the other day, but
she knew better than to go sailing around
the shaft, spoiling her bangs and thumping
her heels through the ceiling. She just
screamed, fainted, fell across the belting,
and, knocking it off', stopped the machinery.
All she lost was one hair pin and five min
utes’ time. Preston girls know a thing or
two about manufacturing.

THE SAVANNAH DIALY TIMES, MONDAY, JANUARY 5, 1885.
WHAT IS MALARIA!
A Plan to Successfully Combat a Disease
That Defies Analysis.
The once accepted theory that malaria
flourished only in wet, swampy localities,
•and followed the clearing of large tracts of
land, is no longer tenable, as the majority of
the victims are now numbered among in
habitants of cities and long established set
tlements.
But laying aside all questions of theory
we come face to face with the vital question,
what is malaria? and how is it to be success
fully vanquished? To the first inquiry we
reply, malabia (bad air) from which the
word is derived, explains its character ex
actly. Bad air taken into the lungs and
disseminated through the blood, poisons t e
entire system, and typhoid fever, malarial
fever, diptheria and other dangerous dis- (
eases follow. Equally bad effects result ,
from contaminated water, bad drainage, or .
continued over-exertion, as they all cause
loss of nerve life, the essence of physical
well being. !
Malarial poison cannot be detected by '
chemical tests, and is only known by its
effects upon the system.
One of the worst cases of malaria was that
of Mrs. C. F. Bokhen, of 67 Fifth St, Troy, .
N. Y. Her experience, of great value, is
given, that others may receive like benefit.
She suffered not only from malaria, her
complexion being of a saffron hue, but also
from enlargement of the liver. Her appe
tite was ravenous, especially for acids. “One
day,” says Mrs. Boshen, “my physician
asked for a sample of fluid for chemical
analysis. I was then passing 7 ounces a
day, which he reported as ‘very bad,’ and
that he could do no more for me, as I had
all the indications of Bright’s disease. I
then went to a specialist on Madison Aye-
New York, who recommended electricity,
saying I had spinal disease. For six months
I did not have a natural movement of the
bowels. I took in all 125 electrical treat
ments. I was much bloated, and have
weighed as high as 175 pounds. I would
have periods of semi-unconsciousness, seeing
my friends, but being unable to converse.
Racking pains pierced the base of my brain
I became so dizzy I could not walk across the
floor without support. I also to a great ex
tent lost my memory. I then began to use
a preparation I had frequently heard of, but
confess I had but little faith in.”
“At first it made me deathly sick, but
after the bile had been eliminated I began
to amend and dismissed my physician.
When I commenced the new treatment I
weighed 160 pounds. In . three months I
was down to my natural weight, 140 pounds.
I have a good appetite,my liver performs its
- functions, my complexion is good, and no
one would think from my appearance that I
had ever been ill. My fluids are normal,
my bowels greatly improved. My headaches
and all dizziness have disappeared.” The
case of William Wallace Lounsbery, of 228
Lake street. Chicago, Ills , is another re
markable one. He says: “In addition to
being dizzy and having a sallow complexion,
my digestion was very poor and I suffered
i almost continually with severe pains in my
bowels. Finally I became too ill to leave
mv bed, and called in an old
allopath physician of thirty-seven years’
practice. He prescribed quinine. After being
in bed a week without receiving any benefit,
and having night sweats which colored my
linen yellow, I concluded to take my wife’s
advice and try Warner’s Safe Cure. . From
the first it helped me, and after taking six
bottles, with safe pills, I was cured entirely
of all pain, poor digestion and bloody dis
charges, a healthy color took the place of a
sallow one, and I felt like a new creature.”
From the above it will be observed that
malaria has no certain localities for its own,
but lurks wherever bad air and water pre
dominate. The only sure method to coun
teract its poisonous effects is to check its
first developments.
