Another Brutal HOmtefde-Escspe
of the Slayer

We have this morning to record another
brutal homicide to the many similar crimes
which disgrace the annals OF our city. The
particulars Of this Sunday tragedy, as we
have been enabled to gather them, are that
about half-psst six O'Clock last evening an
old colored man named Gabriel Brown was
sitting on a log on the sidewalk short dis
lance from the grocery store on River street,
near West Broad, engaged in doctoring his
corns, when he was approached by negro
man, who said: "You d-n black rascal,
you've been telling internal lies on
me-" Brown replied that such was
not the case, but he would go up to the
store and inquire about the internal lies,
the supposition being that the circulator OF
the falsehood could be found there. As he
was walking along the negro struck him
with large brick knocking him down,
when he hit him twice. The first blow struck
Brown under the ear and broke his neck.
The other blows were on the face, cutting
an ugly cash under the eyes and splitting
open the upper lip. Brown fell to the
ground dead, and his assailsnt walked OF,
remarkfpg to some colored men whom he
met in the vicinity. swell I've killed
that d-n old black ecoundrel and 1t serves
him right" Inc parties IL appears 0ld not
think Brown was killed, and made no effort
to detain the fellow, who escaped.
Four colored men, who were sitting about
the place at the time, were arrested and
carried to the police barracks. The Coro-
ner was notified and at once proceeded to
the spot, examined the body and made ar
rangements for holding an inquest at nine
O'Clock this morning. Officers were on the
look. out last night for the party charged
with this brutal crime, and it was thought
he would be arrested before morning.
The deceased was regarded as a worthy and
industrious old colored man. In August last
he was working on one of the plantations on
the river, IN a little house. During the
eventful storm Of the 9th his house was
blown down, his wife was drowned, and he
was rescued with difficulty.

The KImbalI House.

There is probably no better known hotel
10 the Southern States than the Kimball
House, Atlanta, which for years has been
acknowledged as the leading hotel in Geor-
gia. It is admirably constructed-modern
in all its appointments, and is superblY fur.
nished. 1t is the headquarters of the savan-
nah bar when in attendance at the Supreme
Court, and in fact appears to be the general
rendezvous where the people of the State
and the Atlantese meet in council, ana at
night its rot1nda is crowded with a restless
throng, presenting a scene the like Of which
is not to be witnessed in any hotel in the
country.
The cuisine OF the house is excellent and
its general management is first class In
every respect. The names Of the proprietors,
Messrs. l. w. Scoville and 4. S. Terry, are
familiar to the travelling public as the hosts
OF the Arlington" aud the "Norvell" at
Lynchburg. Va, the "Duval House." Jack
sonFilIe, Fla, and the "Ruford House,n
Charlotte, n. c., and travellers Of other
States who have In the past stopped at
either of these places and personally ex-
perieneed the excellent treatment accorded
guests by Messrs. scoville and Terry, viii
not fail to remember the Kimball House
when they visit Atlanta.

A Dishonest Cook.

William Hawkins, s colored deck hand on
the steamer Florida, who lives at Fernsn-
dina, when at that place on Thursday last,
got from his home a satchel in which he
had fifteen dollars in money, some clothes
and a pair OF boots. He gave the satchel to
William Kennedy, colored cook on the
stesmer, to keep for him until he
needed #. On Saturday evening after the
steamer arrived here, be went to Kennedy
and ask5 d him 90 go with him to the room to
get the saichel, as be wanted pair Of pants
that was in It. Kennedy refused his request,
when Hawkins proceeded to the room him
self aud opening the satchel discovered
that the money and his bOots were gone.
He a. once started to hunt up policeman,
intending TO have Kennedy arrested, and
