A Panic I'm Atlanta,
jAtlanta constitutional

On the train from Chattanooga, which ar
rived in Atlanta at 10 o'clock on Thursday
night last there was found passenger VINO
had fallen suddenly i'll. AS he hailed from
the train to the effect that the man was sick
with yellow fever. The man was at once lsO-
lated, and in that manner brought on TO the
city. Upon the arrival of the train he was
assisted out upon the platform and left there.
Several persons approached him, but, had
no desire to. linger when the lntlma-
ton was made that he had the yellow
fever. Thus virtually abandoned and help
less, he remained in the depot more than an
hour, when some one went in search OF y
physician. DR.. J. g. Westmoreland was found
at his office on Lloyd street, and at once went
to the relief Of the stricken stranger. pr.
! Westrnoreand found him lying upon the
platform and suffering from q raging fever,
once Dir. Westmoreland had the man removed
| to the Fulton House, on Lloyd street. Inc
Doctor explained to the landlady the condl-
tion of the sick man and the necessity OF MS
sented to admit the patient and he remained
over night, attended by DR.. Westmoreland.
When the boarders in the Fulton House
| learned of what had occurred they gave uh-
mistakabe signs Of panic, and insisted upon
the immediate removal OF the SICK man. Inc
matter become SO urgent that the landlady
was compelled to yield and to require the
change DR.. Westmoreand and two others
| made search throughout Cne Guy lOi accoLn,,
modations for the sick man, but after several
hours of earnest pleading were unsuccessful.
! No one would permit the Introduction OF the
sufferer under his roof. Dr.. Westnore-
| land even went to the trouble OF hiring
O. vacant room upon a floor that had been
long unoccupied, but when it was learned
that he designed to put his patient therein al
entrance was refused. Nonplussed at TINS
treatment, Dr. Westm oreland determined, to
faithfully remain by and care for this un1or-
tunate, thrown, as by Providence, upon. ms
humanity He at once arranged for him
bed In the rear room of his Lloyd street ounce
and removed the patient to a comfortaile
position there. During the day the doctor
| gave him almost constant attention, and has
arranged to see him properly nursed. The
| Young man is named Brand, and IS from Lo-
Evansville, in Gwinnett county, Georgia. lie
| IS a stone-cutter by trade, and went to Mem
phis to work there. He remained after the
fever broke out. He lived in the most lnfected
part Of the city, and, becoming alarmed at the
| multiplying deaths, determined to return
home. En- route he was stricken with fever
When the news became disseminated, lt was
proposed by some persons to remove the pa
tient, but the brave old doctor remarked 70 TO
reporter who inquired about his patlent: ne
is here, and will not be taken out until ne II
cured or dead unless he is taken out over my
dead bodyr At the last accounts the patlen
was doing well, and the probabilities are tha
he will recover.

after having been defeated in convention,
comes into the field with the mask of stern

as serpent and as harmless as dove. He
affirms that he has an abundance OF common

$4,000 was made for the purpose at the last
session of Congress, with the proviso that the
owner of Monticello should convey to the

with right of free access thereto. The con-
ditions have been complied with, and the

According to an Arabian paper, Al .1ano!b
the abdIcation Of King John, OF Abyssinia,
was an act in keeping with the striking ro-
nance of his character and career Menelek
II, who claimed to be the rightful heir to the
crown in virtue of his descent from the queen
of Sheba. had, by his pretensions, excited the
and entering the territories OF Shoa, prepared
to attack Menelek in his capital, Aukobec
A band of PRIESTS however, met the advancing
King, and rebuking him for leVylng wal
him hi nj to abandon his sacrilegious enterprise
and recognize Menelek: King John was sc
affected by their words that, halting his
troops, he entered the city, and In sight OF his
army and the population laid OIL his crown
and royal robes and paid homage to Menelek
who embraced him and conferred new .digni
ties upon him in his original princeton O
Kasa. The story comes in very roundabout
way. but is quite likely to be true.

can.]
The houses of London are mostly built OF
yellow brick; but those OF O. more pretentious
character are of a yellow sandstone, which
soons become blackened with the smoke that
enshrouds the city. Iron buildings are not
known here-at least we have not net with
any in our wanderings over the city, they be-
ing entirely an American institution.
A stranger in London is astonished at the
appearance of most OF its public buildings
and churches. They are built mostly OF white
marble, but the smoke has blackened them TO
such an extent that were it not that their
bases and sometimes @ portion OF their cor
nces are white, they might be supposed to be
OF black marble. The columns In front OF
st. Paul's Cathedral are densely black, and so
is most of the vast structure. 1t O. pot OF
black paint was poured over the magnificent
statue OF Queen Elizabeth and her four maids
of honor, which stands in front Of the cathe~
dral, it would scarcely be noticed, 50 black
have they become. The National Gallery, on
Trafalgar Square, is decidedly black, and the
grand old church of st. Martin-in-t the Fields
on Trafalgar Square, is, II possible, blacker.
The walls under the porticO and most OF the
columns in front would never be supposed to
be of pure white marble. AS there is scat
folding being erected around it, the purpose
Is possibly to clean it OF the accumulated
smoke of ages. They probably think with the
garnin who when asked why he did not WASH
his face replied: whats the use? 1t will
only get dirty again. /

The question was broached yesterday, I'm

son, who has recently made himself and Men,
10 Park famous by the application OF NUM-
Der of what appeared to many to be fantastic
theories in science, as well as by the rapidity
with which he turns out the products Of his
ingenuity, had mortgaged himself for O.
period of thirty-four years to the Vest
ern Union Telegraph Company, who are
to pay him an annuity Oh $1,000, and 70
whom all Inventions discovered during this
period are to belong as exclusive owners
The discussion eicted no confirmation Of the
report, but tho Euenieg Post is now able to
state, and its information comes from an
