To Be Shot.

Recently there arrived in Atlanta,
under arrest by order Of United
States Lieutenant, a man named
Coleman, from Knoxville, Tenn. In
the year 1865 Coleman was FEEDER
al soldier, stationed with his regi.
ment at Knoxville. One night he
and a comrade went to the house Of
an old man, whom they supposed
possessed large sum Of money.
They began beating and threatening
the old gentleman, in order to force
him to show tae hiding place of his
treasure. His daughter. q bright and
heroic girl, rushed to her fathers as
sistance, when Coleman shot and
killed her. He was arrested, tried
and sentenced to be shot by the mill
tary authorities. Before the day of
execution rolled around Coleman
made his escape and left for parts
unknown. He was gone some six
or seven years, and finally he return
ed to Tennessee, suppcsing all dam
ger had passed with the military.
But he was arrested by the civil au-
thorities, tried, convicted and GEN.
fenced to be hanged for the same Of
fence. Now the military authorities
claim him for execution, and the
Tennessee authorities have given
him up. Whether he will be execut-
ed.on the original findingssentcnce of
the military courts is not known. 1t
is more than probable that, should
be held guilty without further trial,
the President will commute his sell.
tence to imprisonment for life. The
crime was committed over fourteen
years ago.

speak of him as quiet, reserved
young man who made few acquain-
tances, vas somewhat infatuated with
the stage, and frequently said he in
tended TO become an actor. Mrs.
Abeling, with whom Gray boarded,
and Mrs. Billings. at whose house
he lodged, say that he frequent
ly did strange and foolish things.
They thought he was half crazy.
He said that all of his relations
were actors, that he came of a
star-actor family, and was going on
the stage to do as his relatives had
done. Mrs. Bruin, cousin who al
most raised him, gays none of his
family were ever actors, but he has q
passion for the stage and is a great
frequenter of theatres. His father
died before he was born, but when
he came here last autumn from Keo-
kuk he said "my father is not dead.
/ know he is alive, for I sat at the
same table with him some days ago
and he would not speak to me, damn
him! But I will get even with him
yet" Mrs. Druin thinks that he had
an idea that Booth was his father.
and that he is not responsible for
some of his acts. The Katie to whom
the letter found is addressed is q
half-sister of Gray.
The prisoner, Mark Gray, remains
non.committal rs to his reason for
attempting TO assassinate the trage-
dian, but assumes a mysterious air
and talks of his wrongs, of his re-
grets at the failure and Of his aspira-
tions to become an actor. The: theo-
ry is advanced that he believes him.
self to be q blood relation of Booth,
and that his wrong consists in the
failure of Booth to recognize him.
Some of his words since his arrest
give color to this theory, but he has
not affirmed it, and on the contrary
has said the actor was no relative of
his.

THE ORDER IN A HEALTHY CONDITION
AND GROWING RAPIDLY.


O.
THE ORDER IN A HEALTHY CONDITION
AND GROWING RAPIDLY.
We direct attention Of our readers
TO the interesting letter, published
below, from the Supreme Dictator of
the knights Of Honor Of the United
States. The Knights of Honor is an
Order which econ or late mnst COM
mend itself to all intelligent men
who want an INSURANCE on their lives.
The Circular is dated at Boston,
Mass, April 10, 1879, and reads as
follows:
To all Subordinate lodges, knights of
Honor, Qreeting;
e is with great satisfac tion:that
the supreme officers submit the fol-
lowing statement relative to the Wi
dows' and Orphans Benefit Fund. 1t
is well-k4QWn that large number of
deaths occurred in our ranks from
yellow fever during the past year.
Aside from this cause we suffered an
unusually heavy death rate during
thei ihsummer months. Up to July,
1878, our deaths had not numbered
over twenty-one in any month.
In July the number Of deaths was. 80
In August, from yellow fever........33

from other causes. 143 making the
total deaths from all causes in the
periodsof five months, 336, and re-
quiring the sum of s67O,O0O to meet
the calls upon;thel Widows and Or
phans' Fund, an amount greater than
had been disbursed from this fund
from The beginning Of the Order, five
years previous.
TO meet this extraordinary de-
mand two assessments were laid in
November, two in December. three
January, three in February and two
in March, Much trouble was exper-
fenced by the supreme officers in
placing the deaths in consecutive or
der by reason Of the impossibil;ty, in
lodges disorganized by the yellow
fever, of making reports Of deaths
until long after they had occurred.
1t was not want OF sufficient evidence
of the death, but officers of lodges
were dead or scattered, and no one
was authorized to make the official
report.
These assessments have been met
cheerfully, and orders on the benefit
fund have now been issued upon all
deaths up 10 January "a, 1879, and
the assessment now in process of COL
lection will pay all deaths to March
first,
Since October /, 1878, orders have
been issued on the Widows and Or
phans' Benefit Fund for the following
amounts:

The fret death in the Order from
yellow fever occurred August 12,
and the order for the benefit OF the
sams was drawn October 10. The
last death from this cause took place
November Goth, and the order for
the same was signed March 21; Or
ders upon all other deaths by yellow
fever were issued between these
dates,
With total loss more than double
that Of any other beneficiary society,
we have paid in full every benefit
caused by the epidemic, and proved
to the world the ability of our organ
ization to successfully meet the Sc
verest trial. This work has been
done with hardly more than the usu-
al number of suspensions, and
though our growth was temporarily
checked by the extraordinary de.
mand upon its resources, rapid in.
crease Is now taking place all over
the country, and we now number at
least fifty thousand members.
These events have proved the
wisdom OF our system of one general
jurisdiction for the Widows and Or
phans' Fund, and the efficiency of
our laws for the government Of the
