The FIRST News of the End.

Late yesterday it became known
in certain circles of Atlanta that
Governor Stephens's life had been
dispaired of and that he would
probably die during the night.
The mansion was filled from that
time forward with anxious inquir-
ers as to his condition, but the ex-
tremity of his case was not gener-
ally known and the news of his
death which we print this morn
ing will be read with surprise by
thousands who had counted on his
wonderful vitality to pull him
through this last dread struggle.

{ terment of our lamented governor,
the Constitution says that the thou
sands who passed through the
mansion yesterday were undimin-

brought crowds from this and ad-
joining states. The funeral ar
rangements were perfected. Hon.
Robert Toombs, the lifelong
friend and political associate Of
Mr.. Stephens, has consented to
speak. Others Of national promi-
nence will do the same. The
soldiery of the state will be there;
the officials of state, cities and

A TALK WITH DIR. MILLER.

Miller came out of Mr.. Stephens's
room, and in response to an inqui-
ry from The CONSTITUTION, said:
"You have read the story of the
wonderful one-horse shay. With
all respect say that Mr.. Ste
phens's death is reproduction of
that story. 1t is a simple wear
ing out. He has undertaken more
work than he was able to stand at
his time of life and in his physi-
cal condition. The result is ner-
vous exhaustion that has ended in
DEATH"
"Do you think his death was
hastened by his trip to Savannah 2"
Il think not. He was very care
full of himself on that trip and
while he may have taken cold he
had commenced to decline before
he went to Savannah. He had
called my attention to his increas-
ing by indispotion several days
before we started to Savannah, and
l had myself noticed it. Shortly
after his return from Savannah
and his illness had increased / be-
came satisfied that his condition
was entirely different from what it
had been in his former fits of
