Suicide of Alva C. Rooney.


Mr.. Alva C. Rooney. painter, we'll
known in Marietta and Acworth. commit
ted suicide in Birmingham, Ala, on the
9th inst, by shooting himself in the head.
His body was carried to Acworth and
buried there last Sunday afternoon. Peace
to his ashes
From the Birmingham Iron Age, we get
the following additional particulars ut
was soon ascertained that tie report of the
pistol proceeded from the candy store of NJ.
T. Ely. Those who first reached the spot
found the body of Iva G. Rooney, lying
PROSTATE across the floor with ii bullet hole
in his right ear During yesterday Rooney
was engaged in assisting in painting an ad-
vertising sign on Mathews Bros cigar store.
At 81 o'clock he struck OFF, and met a
friend, Geo. Hudgins, the bill poster, at
Scholtz gallery, from whence they proceed
ed to the saloon of S. Wise & Co, for beer.
After taking two glasses of beer he said !;
Lets go to Mac and Charley's saloon on
end avenue, and get my pistol l want to
shoot myself. Hudgins replied "No
you don't want to shoot yourself; you are
too great coward" To which Rooney
replied by Cd mean what l say. u"
They then proceeded to Mac and Charley s
but did not take anything to drink. There
Rooney, taking his pistol from a drawer,
left Hudgins
He walked into Elys at II and turned
half around and said, as if addressing
Messrs Ely and Gregg who were talking
together, "Well just end this thing right
here, at the same time placing his pistol to
his head. Mr. Ely turned and, thinking
that Rooney was only TESTING, said Don't
do that; don't dc that T. and turned from
him and said indifferently, "Well, let her
60" Mr.. Ely had not turned more than
half around when he heard the report OF the
pistol and turning quickly around discover
ed that Rooney had shot himself and was
falling to the floor. After receiving the
wound, under the influence of stimulantS
and restoratives, he became partially con
scious and spoke few words OF his home
and mother.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, April 7.-Alva c.
Rooney, sign painter, who came to this
place about a month ago, committed suicide
at 1870 o'clock on yesterday evening, and
breathed his last at about 4 O'Clock this
morning. He was young man. aged
about go years, and though he had no wife
TO create domestic strife and multiply his
cares and sorrows, yet it seems that he had
become tired of life. No cause for the rash
act is known. He had been heard to say
several times recently that he intended to
kill himself but it was when he was drink
ing, and no one ever thought he was in
earnest. He worked in Marietta before
coming to this place. His father is post
master at Acworth. The young man was
of good address and intelligent, and when
sober showed no signs of mental alteration.
He had plenty of work to do and seemed to
make money easy. When he remarked to
his friend that he intended to kill himself
his friend replied, You are too great a
coward, " and to prove his bravery he may
have fired the fatal shot, which occurred in
an hour afterwards.

THE NEW STATE HOUSE.
The Supreme Court Decides That It
Shall Cost 50, 100000

The case brought against the new State
House Commissioners by Charles Whitaker
was decided by the Supreme Court yester-
day in favor of the Commissioners. The
substance of the decision is as follows:
State House Commissioners VS.. Charles Whitta-
ker Marion G. G.
worden, c. Appellee filed a complaint to
enjOin appellants from making certain changes in
the new State House which would Increase the
cost of the same beyond $1,000 OOO, provided
all incidental expenses connected with the
erection Of the building. such as architects
AMI Superintendents salaries, travelling ex-
penseS of the Board, etc, are 70 be paid out of
said 81 600 coo. Answer: That the changes con-
templated, together with the original contract
price, would rot exceed 81 co., COO, provided such
incidental expenses were not required to be paid

be expended in the construction of the new State
House, and that in addition thereto all Incl
dental expenses may be PAID ont of the fund de-
nominated ''the new State House fund, - but that
these expenses are not 10 be deducted from the
81 100000 which may be expended In what may
be strictly called the construction of the building
Judgment reversed.
The above is about the same construction
that has always been placed upon the law
by the Commissioners. The Commissioners
contend that the outside expenses includ-
ing the salaries of the officers, Superintend-
ent, etc, will not exceed 5 per cent. of the
cost or the building.

THERE seems to be en- idea among some of our
friends abroad that there is troublesome d.
vision in the ranks of the Democratic party in
Georgia. Thisis mistake. There is no lack of
harmony among the people so far as we can per-
ceive: certainly there is no lack of harmony in
the Democratic party. There have been, during
the past year or two, minor divisions in the Dem
ocratc party appertaining TO certain methods Of
organization in regard to which there was large
room for differences of opinion. But to-day, in
the presence of the new danger threatened by the
efforts of Stalwart Republican Administration
TO defeat and destroy the Democratic party in
Georgia these minor differences have been CON-
pOunded.-Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution Dem.)

Jesse James at different times killed over fifty
men. This would show that he must have been
soured by some great sorrow. No man who is
healthy, and full of animal spirits could kill the

Evidences of the Existence of Peculiar
Race of the Human Family.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, May PA remarkable
find is reported of relics of the Moundbuild-
ers in the Red River Valley, the only deposit
yet found in this region of this extinct race
A skull of heroic size and singular formation
has just been turned over to the Historical
Society for examination. The mound where
it was found is sixty feet in diameter at the
base and twelve feet high, on the top of that
wave of land running from Detroit to ST. Vim
cent, a distance of nearly two hundred miles,
varying in width at the top from forty rods
to half mile, and known through all that
country as 'the Pembina trail" The Snake
River cuts this range tweve miles from War
rem, running through a gorge with banks
full one hundred fee; high. Not more than
seven or eight rods from the south bank the
mound, which was penetrated by drifting
from one of the sides to the center stands in
lonely oddity. The mound itself is of sand
and gravel. and totally unlike the compo-
nents of ''the trail" proving that the build
ers must have carried their loads from the
lower ground. Near the center the excavat-
ers found the bones of more than ten per
sons males and females, and mixed with
them bones of badgers, horses and hogs. The
skull referred to is the most perfect speei-
men. The other one crumbled upon being
exposed to the air; but the skull in question
is as firm and whole as if taken from a
doctors studio. The upper teeth are
gone, and the interior maximillary Is,
of course, wanting. The pelvic bones
and femurs found near it are abnormally
large, and give conclusive evidence that the
owners were of giant stature. The skull is
not particularly striking, except that the
mark of the hair line remains, and shows
that of forehead little was possessed. At the
base of the skull is a protuberent formation,
which may nave been peculiar to the race or
the individual. The breadth between the
temporal bones is about the same as IN the
average Caucasian, but the dome is more
edge-like, and contains less cavity for gray
matter. The "Pembino trail" on which the
mound was built, is OF itself a peculiar
formation, and has been so regarded for
years One of the wise men of our Histor-
ical Society holds to the theory that when
land appeared from the primeval SEQ this
ridge was the forerunner and against it the
waters beat, piling up the gravel and stones
which form so large part of its material. A
thorough investigation into the mysteries OF
the mound is being instituted. and develop
ments are promised

a silent witness to the shocking tragedy
which crimsoned the waters Of the Tuscara-

south of the Monument another finger
board marks the spot where stood the cooper

were slaughtered.

was followed by a hymn from the choir

the day, then stepped to the front and de-
livered a very mastery Grafton. in
which all the details of the terri

entire delivery the audience consisting
of upwards of 5000 people, were held SPELL

esting feature of the eI ereiseS was the three
Delaware Indians from New Fairfield, Cana
da, who are the lineal descendants of one of
the families murdered here 100 years ago.
Jacob the older Indian, addressed
the vast assemblage by an interpreter,
in which he stated that his grand
mother was a victim of the massacre. The
other Indian, Stonefish, who is Eere with
his wife, addressed the audience in English.

Vance, took part in the massacre, was here
