ATLANTA, va, VI aFcH o.--dieAauucI
H. Stephens, Governor OF Georgia, died
! at l. o'clock tonight. after a severe
illness.
ATLANTA. March 5.-Stephens's
death occurred at half-past 5. About ,
o'clock this morning it was evident
| that he was much weaker and the close
was approaching. The doctor placed a
strt n. mustard plaster on his wrist and
let it remain twenty minutes. When it
was removed not the slightest sign of
| inflammation as shown. At half-past 2
the extremities became cold and clam
| my and assumed purple hue. As tn e
end drew near St. phens was lying on bis
back, h,s head turned slightly TO the
right. The husky rattle in his throat.
that had been plainly percep.ible in the
night, had ceased entirely. There was
no more heavy breathing and Dot the
| slightest gasping. At quarter past
3 the family was called in. Sa-phens
| died uithout the slightest trem n. The
news OF his death created thorough
sensation. as twas not known that he
was 80 near deaths door. To-day
the remains lay in state at the ex
| ecutive mansion and We're viewed
by 10000 people. This afternoon a
meeting of citizens was held, and adj
dresses were delivered nv senator Col
quett, Judge Logan. IN b. Lackley
aud other prominen. citizens. A cltI.
zens committee was appointed to CO.
operate with the co nm,ttee from the
legislature and the State-house officers
IN the conduct of the funeral. The re.
mains will lie III state in the Capitol
until buried, on Wednesday or Thurs
dav. Colonel John Stephens, nephew
oil the G. werner, said ''I have never
known him TO speak so little OF death
as during his present illness. or to make
so few arrangements for the worst that
might come. In all other attacks he
has been especially careful to impress
on me minute details as to his wishes
AMI intentions IN his illness he has
not said a single word Of any desires. :"
This confirms the theory that his ILL
ness was exhaustion rather than dis
ease. Stephens made a will some time
ago. He leaves so, 600 to the children
OF his brother, Judge SteLheps. The
rest of the estate he leaves 10 his
nephew, Colonel John Stephens. WAT
the estate will foot up depends largely
upon the sale OF his new history Of the
Uoited States. He made about $50. 900
ON "Tne War Between the States,
his book selling well.

his father.

D.mz In New Orleans.
New ORLEANS, March 1.-The ban
ques given to General Porfiero Diaz
last night by Captain E,ds proved quite
an important atf,ir-over forty guests
were presen. including leading Next
cans and Americans. Ia response to
toast of welcome from Eads. Diaz made
very strong speech eulogistic OF the
Ea3s ship canal. He spoke OF the great
services which bad been rendered by
Captain Eads TO the commerce of the
United States and the world, and he
was selfish enough to desire that kim
dered services should be rendered to the
Republic with which he was more close
" identified. Ia the grand project to
Join the waters of the two oceans by
bands of steel be recogniz d provi1en-
tial scheme to render indisso!uhe ties
Of friendship between the two Repub
lies, and that scheme, he promised,
would have all the support he could
give it. Numerous other speeches were
made, all of which were of friendly
and fratecnaf character, and the
dinner was rot over until | o'clock
this morning. Considerable signi.
ficance IL being placed on the
very friendly speeches which Gen
eral Dias has made here, and to the
welcome given him, which exceeds any
ever given to any o:her visitor. He has
been besieged with invitations to ban
quets and receptions. He has been
compelled to deciiue many CT them.
Saturday he was breakfasted by Fed
erai officials, lunched by the Mexican
Exchange and dlned by Captain Eads.
To-day he has been breakfasted by
Major Burke. State Treasurer, and was
allowed to rest the remainder of the
day.
