DEATH OF ROBERT TOOMBS
GEORGIA,S FAMOUS ANTE.BRL- LUM LEADER PASSES AWAY.
An Eyentful Career Ended by Death
 His Wife to be Hurled by
 KTss SRda Sl

ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. 16.-At o'clock Tuesday evening Gen. Toombs closed his eventful career by death, which occurred at his home in Washington, Ga. Early in 5 October, while in Atlanta, he felt that death was upon him, and bidding fare well to his friends, told them that he was going home to die. A couple of days later his mind was entirely dethroned, and he has ever since imagined that he was fighting over the battles which led to secession. His family gathered close around him and waited upon his slightest wish. Last week a marked improvement was noticed in him, so much so that hopes were entertained of his recovery. On the night of Sunday, however, he suddenly re- lapsed. Dr. G. w. Mulligan, his physi- elan, declared that the end was at hand. For two days he has been in comatose condition unable to lift 8 limb. His entire family of children and grandchildren were called around his bedside at in the even- ing and tearfully awaited the end, which Dr. Mulligan declared to be near. At the Doctor placed his ear to the Generals heart. It was still. stHe is dead" said the Doctor. The arrangements for the fu- neral will be made tomorrow. The Gen erals wife, who was buried at the old fam fly burying-ground, was disinterred to-day and will be buried by the side of her hus- band in the Washington burying- ground
 Robert Toombs was born July 2, 1910, and during his long career has served as State Legislator, Congressman and United States Senator.
 After Lincoln's election, he was one of the foremost in urging the South to arms He was Provisional Secretary of State for the Confederacy, and Brigadier- General in the Confederate army
 After the passions of war had cooled and he had returned to his native eorg1a, he lived quietly at his old home, being possessed of considerable property, but he could not forgive the North. He refused to accept pardon from the Government exclaiming, it is said
 Pardon me Why, haven't pardoned them vet PED

Agents of the Standard Company Ar
 ra1smed for Conspiracy.
 BUFFALO, Dec. 16.-In the Buffalo Lu- bricating Oil Company it seems the Stan dard has found foeman worthy of its steel In the Court of Sessions Tuesday afternoon Henry B. Everest and his broth CT, Charles M. Everest. were called upon to plead to an indictment charging them with criminal conspiracy. Their counsel, Charles w. Goodyear answered "Not guilty" and reserved the right to change his plea or demur. The other alleged con- spirators, John D. Archibald and Am prose McGregor were arraigned soon after the rising of the Grand Jury, and in their case a demurrer was read which the Judge promptly overruled. It begins to look as if the conspiracy charge, laughed at by the Standard at first, was not going to be 8 laughing matter Their detectives are raking up evidence all around. The lubricating company alleges that the Stan dard caused their paid workmen to so build stills as to explode and fire the refin- cries. Also thas they bribed their work men to betray business secrets and, lastly, that they procured witnesses to perjure themselves, and brought several malicious actions to injure the trade and credit of the lubricating company.

AMERICAN PORK IN FRANCE.
Need of Efforts O R eInOve the French
 PrOhibitOry Laws.

WILMINGTON, Dec. 16.-It has been ascertained that the paragraph of the Presidential message relative to probable free introduction of American salted meats in France was based upon information cabled by Minister McLane. The presi- dent of the French Syndical Chamber of Exportation has forwarded to the Ministry Of Commerce a letter requesting the repeal of the prohibitive decrees against Ameri- can meats President Person, of the Con- mercial Syndicate, wrote to the French government that Congress will surely re- talitate at the expense of importations here of Ftench wines luXuries and Paris articles, if prohibition is maintained in France against American salted meats. This was the basis of the declaration in the message. It is probable that the cases of trichinosis recently reported as occnrring in many sections of the country will fur nish new and apparently strong arguments to the Freuch legislators against the inn portation of American pork. The pro- hibition hy France still continues, and the American Minister in France should be aided by those interested in this country in having it repealed.

Leo XIII. Protests.

PARIS, Dec. 16.-The Pope has protested to the French Government against the &C., tinn of M. Goblet, Minister of Public h. Struction, in stopping the stipends of thirty mine priests for alleged interven- tion in recent elections for members of the Chamber of Deputies The Pope asserts that the suspension of religious stipends is an infringement on the provisions of the Concordat. Sharp letters have been exchanged be- tween M. Goblet and the Bishop of Pam iers. The Bishop vindicates the right of priests to talk politics with their neigh bots, arguing that they cannot remain pas Sive spectators of systematic attacks on the Church. The Bishop has addressed 8 pastoral to the parishes deprived of priests, in which he denies that the priests have misconducted themselves, and asks for prayer that peace may soon be restored to the Church.

Fighting Black Flag Pirates.

PARIS. Dec. 16.-De Courcey, Com mander of the French forces in Tonquln, telegraphed that Gen. De Negrier has cleared the Marble Mountains, north of Hal-Duong, of Black Flags and pirates capturing & number of fortified caverns and large quantity of arms and ammu- hilton stored in them. One cavern was desperately defended and 100 pirates killed before it could be taken. Several villages were also ably defended, but the French troops stormed their defences and completely routed the pirates. Numerous war junks were sunk between the Rapids and the Bamboo Canals. The country has been pacified
