Sketch of His Life,

Alexander Hamilton Stephens was born in
Taliaferro county, Georgia, Feb. II, 1872.
He graduated at Franklin College, Athens.
Ga, in 1882, was admitted to the bar in 1884,
and rapidly obtained large and lucrative
practice at Crawfordville. He was elected to
the Legislature of Georgia in 1886 and was
reelected for five consecutive terms In 1S42
he was elected to the State Senate In 1843
he was elected, as a Whig, to Congress, and
held his seat until 1859. In February, 1S47,
he submitted series of resolutions in rela-
ton to the Mexican war, which afterward
formed the platform of the Whig party. He
opposed the Clayton compromise in 1913,
and took leading part in the compromise of
1850 The passage of the Kansas and Ne.
braska act of 1854 in the House of Repre-
sentatives was strongly supported by him as
chairman of the committee on territories. At
ter the breaking up of the Wing party he acted
with the Democrats. At the close OF the Thir-
ty-ffth Congress, Mr. Stephens declined to
be again a candidate, and on July q, 1859, he
made a speech at Atlanta, Ga, announcing
his retirement from public life.
During the presidential canvass of 1860 he
sustained Douglass, and denounced those
who advocated dissolution of the Union in
case of Mr.. Lincoln's election, and in No.
vember, 1860, he made a speech before the
Legislature of Georgia against secession, on
which subject he had an interesting cor
respondence with Mr.. Lincoln in December
He was, nevertheless, elected to the seces-
sion convention which met at Mlledgeville
January 49, 1861, and there spoke and voted
against the secession ordinance He was
member OF the Southern Congress which met
at Montgomery, Ala, in February, and was
elected president of the Confederacy.
On March 81 he delivered speech in Savan-
nah, in which he declared slavery to
be the cornerstone of the new govern
ment On April %, as a special COM
missioner, he addressed the conven-
ton at Richmond urging the union
OF Virginia with the Confederacy He fre-
Quently differed from the policy of the Rich
mond government, especially on the subject
of martial law; and on Sept. s, 1862. he pro-
nounced the appointment by General Bragg
of James NJ. Calhoun as civil Governor of At
lanta palpable usurpation.
His letter on this subject created marked
sensation through the South. On Feb. 3,
1865, with R. NJ. I. Hunter and John A.
Campbell, he held an informal conference on
a steamer in Hampton Roads with President
Lincoln and Mr.. Seward, which had no
practical result. After Lees surrender STE
phens returned to his home at Crawford
vile, where, on May II, 1865, he was arrested
and sent to Fort Warren in Boston harbor,
but on Oct. IL he was released On parole.
February %, 1866, he delivered q speech
before the Legislature of Georgia favoring
the restoration policy of President Johnson.
In the same month he was elected to the
United States Senate but as the State had
not complied with the conditions of recon.
structon, he was not permitted to take his
seat.
In 1879 he was elected to Congress, and
again in 1874, almost without opposition,

WAsHINGToN, March 4.-There IS growing
belief that the Senate will not do much or
ganizing next winter. 1t is well known that
several influential Republicans are heartily
in favor of keeping Dick Bright in the posi-
ton he now holds, and they are not espe-
cially anxious to go into an alliance to oust
him. He has made fine record, and has
made an honest effort to keep politics out
of his office as much as possible, fully half of
his force being Republicans. He is popular
with senators and employees, fact which
had more to do with the indisposition of the
Senate to revolutionize its working force be-
fore adjournment than anything else. He
will hold over till next December anyway.

ATLANTA, Ga, March Sit was announced
last Monday that Governor Stephens was
seriously i'll. The excitement and fatigue of
his trip to Savannah had Frustrated him.
Mr.. Stephens lived in a temperature of
seyenty-three degrees or higher. When he
left Atlanta to go to Savannah he had his
car heated to sixty-seven degrees, and kept
it there all the time. As the car neared Sa-
vannah it ran into a heavy fog, that was
dense and chilly; perhaps the heaviest fog
known for some time in that section. An
ticipating trouble from riding through this
to his hotel, the Governor telegraphed to
Savannah for close carriage. Upon arrival
he found that it had been provided, but that
the windows were down and could not be
closed. He sat in the carriage with the
clammy fog penetrating his system and
chilling him thoroughly for about thirty
minutes. Upon reaching his hotel,
he went to bed so sick that he
did not have strength to rise
until about 1 o'clock, and he has never re-
covered from the shock his system received.
When he left Savannah the temperature was
about eighty degrees; when he reached At
lanta the temperature was about forty de-
grees and chilly. He drove to the Mansion
early in the morning, and Immediately took
to his bed and has never been out of it since.
At first he was only slightly indisposed, and
said to visitors who came to his bedside that
he was suffering from cold, but would be up
next day, which day found him worse and
weaker
His system continued to become weak day
after day, and last Monday he became very
despondent, and when Captain Veins asked
him how he felt, he said, 81 am going to
die" Captain Veins said he hoped not,
and remarked that the doctors did not think
his condition dangerous. "They may be
fooled about it," he replied; 81 know exactly
how much strength I have, and believe
am going to die" On Tuesday he repeated
the same thing to Captain Veins, except
more positively, and to several persons he
said, ''The time will come at last when I will
not have strength to rally, and this may be
the time"

der disturbed the quiet of this city tonight.
George Panton, the son of q Free Methodist
clergym an and himself a well-known resi-
dent, wound up spree by shooting William
Smith through the head, killing him almost
instantly. Smith was Panton's tenant,

There had been disagreements between them,
and this afternoon, i'll the absence of Smith,
his possessions were put into the
street. At 6:15 Smith arrived home
and was stepping into the porch
of the house when the infuriated and intoxi-
Gated Panton fired through the window at
him with a 3S-calibre revolver. The ball
took effect under the right eye and passed
out Immediately back of the left temple, in
ficting frightful-looking wound and caus-
ing almost instantaneous death. Smith was

about six weeks, coming from Chicago where
he had been employed for some time His
home is in Montreal, Canada. The murderer
has not been apprehended, but can hardly
