Brooklyn on the 9th inst. The props
gave way under five story building
that was being repaired, and the whole
mass collapsed. Fire added to the hor-

painfully frequent, and the laws should
be more stringent regarding the con

" Of all the Southern statesmen Of

Cobb. Brown and Hill, he will
stand out in the history of GeOrgia's
distinguished soOns as the most elo'
ouent. Gen. TOonbs was a great
lawyer, a brilliantstatesman and a
successful fnancier. For thirty
years no politician exercised more
influence in Georgia. In the con

left a lasting impression, being the
author of the constitutional pro
vision regulating the railroads OF
the State
Gen. Toombs had been uncon-
scious for several days, and sur
