Death of Col. Alston—Condition of
Capt. Cox.
Brief Resume of the Whole Affair.
[From the Atlanta Post.]
About 4 p. m. Tuesday the first
rumor spread fought, over the city that Alston
and Oox had and one or both
were killed. In an hour's time hun¬
dreds Evening of people were clamoring for the
Post to see an account of the
affair. Three editions were run off and
exhausted, giving a column or more of
the particulars as correctly as it was
possible to obtain them.
A BRIEF RESUME OF THE AFFAIR
will place our readers in possession of
all the material facts. Col. R. A. Al¬
ston had a power of attorney to sell
Senator Gordon’s interest in the State
Convict Lease. He first conferred with
Mr. Walters, of Burke county, but Mr.
Walters would not give the price asked
—$4,000. Therefore, Alston saw Mr.
Chess Howard, a co-lessee, who agreed
to buy at that figure. Cox, who had a
sub-lease of Gordon’s interest, preferred
Walters as purchaser his becausehe thought
he could sell sub-lease to him on
better terms. Tuesday noon, Alston
and Cox
MET IN A BARBER SHOP
Hutchins’, on Marietta street, and in a
back room Cox was heard to denounce
Alston severely, and threatened to kill
him, if he did not rescind the trade
with Chess Howard, which would ruin
him (Cox). Alston said he could not
do it, and stated he wanted no diffi¬
culty and was unarmed. Cox told him
to go and arm himself, which he did.
He repaired shortly after to the Trea¬
surer’s office and to Governor Colquitts.
He told the Governor, Treasurer,
Nelms, and others of the whole affair,
and that he did not want a difficulty.
Meantime, Cox sent a message to him
“TO COME ON.”
Alston was persuaded not to go, and
sent a message to Cox that he neither
wanted to kill or be killed, and that
each man should attend to his own
business. The Governor sent Mr.
Nelms, Keeper of the Penitentiary,
after Cox to dissuade him from the
have difficulty, but Cox, when found, would
no words with him. Soon there¬
after, Alston, standing with Governor
Colquitt, Capitol saw Cox approaching the
with his hand in his pocket, and
pointed him out to the Governor. Als¬
ton then passed out. Cox, meantime
went into the Treasury, and finding
Alston there, went out, after first, it is
said, mistaking Prof. B. F. Moore for
him discovering and half his drawing his He pistol before
error. then sought
the Executive Department, Alston,
meanwhile re-entering the Treasurer’s
office and seating himself. Not finding
Alston in the Executive Departmeut,
Cox returned to the Treasurer’s office,
and at last the two were
FACE TO FACE.
The quarrel was at once resumed,
Alston still insisting upon no difficulty,
mid Cox demanding it. Finally Cox
said it nlight as well be there and then,
and walked to the door of the office
and closed it in spite of Mr. Renfroe s
contrary command. The two men, in
opposite corners of the room, at once
began
THE AWFUL BATTLE,
firing five shots between them. It is
thought that Alston fired first, one ball
striking Cox in the mouth, another in
the hand, a third missing. Cox’s first
shot missed, but his second struck
Alston full in the temple, passing
through the braiu. Alston fell instant¬
ly, and Cox staggered to a lounge and
lay down, profusely bleeding. Col.
Alston was carried out to a room in a
neighboring building, where he died
shortly after 6p. in.
THE DEATH SCENE
was^ one of the most impressive that
ever roused human sympathy or sad-
dened the souls of men. During the
three hours before his death there stood
around his bedside a company of anxi¬
ous friends tearfully watching the pale
face that lay above the blood saturat¬
ed linen, all earnestly and prayerfully hope,
hoping for some faint cause for
but finding in the difficult breathing
and an occasional slight convulsion of
the limbs only food for appaling despair. and
Once only did the dying man open
close b’s eyes, and his lips moved in
the whisper, “I am dying to and see my
wife.” Mrs. Alston, daughter son the
arrived a short time after, but to
most pitiful and heart-breaking appeals
of his wife to speak to her only once,
to all the endearing words of a break¬
ing heart, he responded with no word
or look of consciousness. He was in¬
deed dying, but dying unconscious that
the wife whom he had so longed to
see was at his side. Mrs. Alston rais¬
ing her eyes for a moment from her
husband’s face and looking imploring¬
ly around the room asked for some one
to pray. At her request.
GOVERNOR COLQUITT KNELT
at the foot of the death bed, while all
bowed down around the dying man,
and poured forth an earnest appeal to
God. For a moment the silence was
only broken by the difficult breathing
of the sufferer, the low moan of some
breaking heart and the solemn appeal
to the Power in whose hands was the
issue for life or death. The clock struck
six—in such a scene a suggestive sound,
its harsh, unfeeling tones, forcing a
thought of time’s flight and death’s ap¬
proach. Before another hour had elaps¬
ed, Col. Alston was dead.
After the coroner’s inquest, Col. Als¬
ton’s body will be removed to his home
near Decatua, where the funeral will
take place to-morrow at 2 o’clock.
THE CONDITION OF CAPT. COX
is about the same. The ball in the
mouth tore away the upper and lower
teeth on the left side, and, spending its
ffcrce was spit out. Another ball grazed
the left breat of the coat. If Col. Alston’s
pistol had been as good as the one Cox
had, Cox would probably have been
killed. If the wounds heal well, Ccx
will be out in a few weeks. He was
this morning removed to jail.
HIS FRIENDS CLAIM,
it is proper to say, that he acted in
self-defense, and had great provocation
in the pending business transaction.
Hearing a current statement that Mr.
Ed. Thomas was with Capt. Cox all the
morning, a reporter of the Post sought
him to ascertain any facts that he
might have favoring Capt. Cox. Mr.
Thomas, however, informed the report¬
er, that he did not see Cox that day
till after the rencontre, or he feels sure,
from his long friendship with him, he
could have prevented it.
The Coroner’s jury rendered a ver¬
dict in the case of the killing of Col.
R. A. Alston by Edward Cox of “will¬
ful and premediated murder.” Cox is
in jail to await his trial.
Tlio Bonds.
At Last the Garrard Bonds are Afloat!
LIKE THIRTY PATRIDGE9 IN THIRTY
DAYS.
Mr. Renfroe gives us some notable
points about the matter of signing brisk your
name. It is well known that a
scribe can write on a general article the
in a day what would amount to
signing of his name probably and 10,000 he
times. But Mr. Renfroe says,
is certainly good authority, that the
best of scribes cannot sign their name,
in the same style and in the same place day,
on a bond, over 1,200 times per
in a six day’s trial, The most that he
has ever done was to sign 2,200 times
in one day, and then on the next day
he was so tired and cramped that he
could hardly hold his pen between his
fingers, and succeeded in signing not
quite 1000 times. The test is some¬
thing like eating He a patridge that frequently, a day for
30 days. says
after he has written his name lor four
hours without a moment’s cessation,
that the motion becomes purely auto¬
matic, and when interrupted, he actu¬
ally forgets how to “Rlroe”—leaving spell his own name.
Once he had it out
the “em” altogether—and he and actually
had to stop, rub his hand think
over the letter to see what was wrong
about it. He has to sign his name 44,
000 times on the present issue, aud he
said to us on yesterday, and as he undamp¬ the
ed his tired fingers let pen
drop, ‘I had rather split 44,000 rails.”
The governor signs about 1,000 a day,
being frequently “Alfred interrupted. H. Colquitt,” He
started to sign
but when he reflected what an amount
of manual labor was involved in the
mere writing of “Alfred” 44,000 times,
he was perfectly willing to drop to
“A. H. Colquitt,” which is the way the
signature stands .—Atlanta Constitution.
An old farmer who went to Mont*
gomery to who purchase a piano returned for home his
daughter hag just

hadn't one with a handle in the end,

while.”

London, March 12. — The Times'
Paris correspondent telegraphs as fol¬
lows : “A number of the Deputies of
the Left will, of course, only vote
against impeachment on condition that
its rejection shall be effected by pass¬
ing the order of the day, so couched
that no member of the Right could
agree to it. A very large majority of

New York, March 12.—At twenty
minutes past ten this morning the
scores of the pedestrians were as fol¬
lows : Rowell 231 miles and 4 laps ;
Harriman 215 miles and 2 laps; Ennis
201 miles and 2 laps; O’Leary 197
miles and 5 laps.
At 11 a. m. the score tvas : Rowell
235 miles and 3 laps; HarrimaD 219
miles ; Ennis 205 miles; O’Leary 201
miles.
O’Leary left the track at 3:01:30 on
his 216th mile. He returned again at
5:35:03 and walked one lap, and retir¬
ed from the contest at 5:37, having
walked 215 miles, 6 laps and 110 yards.
As he left the track he simply remark¬
ed to the scorers, “ I’m off.” He was
very sick, and was immediately driven
to the Metropolitan Hotel.
San Francisco, March 12.—At a

represent the views of the Republican
party in California, and the party de*

Paper Barrels.
It is claimed that the new paper
flour barrels are not only cheaper but,
more tight and durable, as well as
lighter, than those of ordinary construc¬
tion. By an improved method of man¬
ufacture, these barrels are composed ol
straw paper pulp, which is run into a
mould made into the shape of one-hall"
of a barrel cut vertically. The pulp is
subjected to a powerful hydraulic pres¬
sure, and, when reduced to the re¬
quired thickness, the the ends of the halves
are cut off, pieces are then placed
in a steam drier, the sides are trim¬
med evenly and the substance thorough¬
ly dried. It comes from the drier
ready for making up into barrels.
There are three heavy wooden hoops
and two hoops fastened together, and
into grooves cut in the staves,-4he
paper halves, which have an average
thickness of three-sixteenths of an inch,
are slid. The ends of the barrel are
made of paper of a similar thickness,
constructed on the same principle as
the sides. The barrels are manufac¬
tured entirely by machinery, and the
halves are cut so true that two pieces
of the same size will readily fit to¬
gether.— Trade Journal.
Quicklime a Preservative of

An English gentleman recently re
ceived by mail a packet of peas which
were taken from the folds of an Egyp
tian mummy, unrolled in the British
Museum, 3,000 years old. He planted
them, and .they have sprouted, with
good promise of growing vigorously.
New Idea Concerning Solar Heat.
New and somewhat startling theories
respecting heat, the mysterious supply of the
sun’s and of the constitution of
the entire solar system, were promul¬
gated in a lecture delivered in Boston,
Thursday night, by the Harvard as
tronomer, Professor Benjamin Peirce.
This distinguished authority in astron¬
omical science startles his hearers and
the scientific world by announcing his
conviction that around the entire solar
system is a spherical shell of matter, a
form of meteoric substance, from which
fall the meteors which supply the heat
of the sun, and to which outer shell
return the comets and meteors which
pass around the sun. This theory,
Professor Peirce stated, will soon be
propounded apparently to the scientific world.
He accepts the so-called
nebular hypothesis, or contraction
theory of the formation of the solar
system, that was originated by Sir. W.
Herschel and amplified and perfected
by Laplace. The theory may be popu¬
larly stated thus:
The entire space contained inside > f
the orbit of Neptune, and for a much
greater extent beyond, was once filled
with a mass of hydrogen gas, or “fire
mist,” which by rotation and contract
tion, continued for cycles of time
almost infinite, that developed (by contrac¬
tion) the heat has resided in the
sun and planets, and (by rotation) the
several planets themselves, one after
another, by throwing them off by cen¬
trifugal force, in the form of rings,
which, preserving their motion of ro¬
tation, and arrested in their outward
flight at the point where the centripe¬
tal and centrifugal forces were in equil¬
ibrium, paid tribute to the former by
ceasing to fly farther,* and to the latter
by continuing in motion, but hence¬
forth a motion forever in an orbit.
Five oi the whirling planets, thus
formed, in turn threw off from them¬
selves, while still in the gaseous form,
their own moons, under the same law.
One—with apparently matter enough
to form a world larger than Earth—
was thrown off at that stage of the con¬
traction of the vast central mass which
would leave it revolving in the enor¬
mous gulf of space between Mars and
Jupiter; but, owing to the constant dis¬
turbing influence of the attractive pow¬
er of the giant planet, world the substance of
this intra-Jovian could never
cohere in the form of a single planet,
but has revolved forever in the shape
of what are called the Asteroids—and
of these, nearly 200 have now been dis¬
covered, and every month or two
brings the announcement of the dis¬
covery of “another new planet” in the
number of these comparatively small
bodies .—Hartford Times.
Wives Not War,
If we are to believe the Cincinnati
Commercial, when the Crimean war
opened the Queen of England express¬
ed her : egrets that she had not a son
to take a part in the fighting. And
now her sons do not go to the front.
The Commercial slyly adds that, “they
are very busy with weddings and pre¬
siding where there are corner-stones to
be laid.” In this connection, the St.

Lord Chelmsford, Commander-in
Chief of the British forces at the Cape,
is the eldest son of the late nobleman
of that name, who was so well known
as an ex-Lord Chancellor, and who died
only last year. The present holder

ITEMS OF INTEREST.
An Oxford (Mich.) v a girl of 14, ’ de
siring to , marry and jr- fearing that ,, , her
youthfulness would be regarded by that
clergymen date as an objection, altered the
of her birth in the family Bible,
and took the sacred volume along when
she eloped with her lover.
The current feeling among thinking
men in Germany seems to be that how¬
ever ably Frince Bismarck may deal
with po,itios, he knows nothing about
finance. Sentiments of this kind have
been freely enunciated before the Sta¬
tistical Society of Berlin.
The following is one of the best rem¬
edies for colic in horses : Give half a
tumbler of spirits of camphor, in a pint
of warm water (cold will do.) If not
relieved in fifteen minutes, repeat the
dose. A correspondent of an agricul¬
tural paper said, “he had never known
it to fail in a practice of twenty years.’^
A witty lady was once told by a
gentleman of her acquaintance that
“he must have been born with a silver
spoon in his mouth.” She looked at
him carefully, and, upon realizing the
size of his mouth, replied : “I don’t
doubt it; but it must have been a soup
ladle.”
Mrs. Gamble offered $50,000 to the
Belfast College of the Irish Presbyte¬
rian Church for the privilege of putting
two memorial windows in the chapel.
A member of the Belfast Presbytery
led so vehement an attack upon this
dangerous and ritualistic proposition
that the lady became disgusted and
withdrew the offer.
The treasury agents have unearthed
a tobacco ring at New Orleans which
has defied the department for 15 years.
The full particulars are not given till
the culprits are brought to trial, but it
is public rumor that the ring has
counted among its chiefs a long and un¬
broken series of Federal officials, has
plundered has the connections treasury of vast sums of
money; asjMissouri, Kentuckyand extending as
far Virginia,
and ramifications which are curiously
interwoven with the structure of com¬
mercial society.
There are many strange anomalies in
French laws and French customs. A
young girl who recently shot her se¬
ducer because he refused to keep his
promise of marriage has just been ac¬
quitted at ^Bordeaux ; and yet French
law takes into no account breach of
promise : nor has a girl who has been
seduced any claim on her lover even
for the support of a child. The mur¬
dered man, therefore, committed no
illegal act, and the girl who took the
law into her own hands is acquitted, to
the great delight of a crowded court.
Queen Tr Victoria . , . , has always , , been most ,
rmnpfilinnq punctilious in in matters matters nf OI etiquette, ana ond
it is said that her maids of honor used
to i i be lorbiaden n tit to . sit down j or to , speak ,
in the royal presence unless specially
commanded. One, it is related, who
has since married a peer, was the for¬
tunate possessor of a magnificent voice,
and was one day bidden to sit down
at the piano and sing something. She
declined to do so, feeling nervous, and
forgetting that a Queen’s request is
tantamount to a command. The Queen
insisted, but the lady urged that she had
a bad cold. “Well, then, you had bet¬
ter go to bed,” said her Majesty. “No,
thank you,”- was the reply ; “but if
you don’t mind, I’ll sit down,” and she
did.
