ADISTREssING SCENE.
The Saddest Accident Ever Wit
messed in Dawson.


Tue saddest result of the tirc
was the killing of little Russell and
Claude Query, sons of Judge
Query, ami colQred boy, by a
falling wall en- last Friday after,
noon.
The coolest aud hardest of hearts
were melted when the forms of
the two little innocents were
brought forth from the debris.
AT the time of the awful catas.
trophe Judge Query was in At.
lanta with young son, Goode,
and the awful news was at once
telegraphed him. He who hath a
son can but feel the depth of sor,
row that sinks into the heart of a
father who was ip distant CITY
when the gloom of death settled
upon the family,
The grief stricken parents have
the sympathy of this entire section.
May the dark cloud thot has
lowered over the home be bright
ened by the smile of a wise Father,
who doeth all things Tor the best.
The burial took place Saturday
afternoon, when Russell and
Claude were laid to rest, side by
side, as they died.
Saturdays Atlanta Constitution
says;
One OF the saddest scenes ever
witnessed in Atlanta occurred at
the Kimball house last night.
Judge James Query stood bes
tween his two friends, President
duBignon and Solicitor General c.
d. Hill.
They were in jepial mood. -
Life was bright to all tLree.. To
none of them more bright at that
moment than to Judge Query.
He had lately beens raised to The
judgeshirbY an overwhelming ma
jority of the legislature. lie had
warm and legal friends and their
was not on the horizon a cloud the
size Of u man's,hand.,
al at once the scene changed
and everything. was. as black as if
the sky had.turned to brass above
him.
Mr. duBignon had just battered
him with a friendly Jest when
Judge Guerry was handed tele-
gram.
He opened it calmly, glanced at
the contents, and in an instant the
strength and the brightness OF life
was gone. He almost sank to the
floor.
hr.duBisnon read the telegram.
1t contained these wor ls:
Claude and Russell killed by a
falling walh Come home.
The poor broken-hearsed father
vas accompanied to his. room by
his irieade and there he remained
for long time utterly PROSTATE.
The first thought was to get hcme
as quickly as possible. but it was
soon found that he coaldenot leave
before morning.
Sympathy vainly tried topper,
form its poor office. Il could not
do nothing.
In few minutes the sad news
went all through the hotel and flew
over the city. All the legislators
know Judge Query. He is a
warm>h carted, magnetic man, who
has host of friends, and the blow
that crushed him fell with painful
weight on them all.

Disease Among the Porkers.

The planters report a very ma.

disease is very fatal, the hog sue

what we can gather cholera has
been playing havoc with the. hogs.

IN ASHES.
An ENTIRE BLOCK C0ys UMED
BY THE FLAMES.

hHted BY Failing Walls.
Dawson has been eayclopetl in
gloom for week.
One entire block OF business
houses is in ruins, and a once
happy and bright home isnpw
desolate and sad, mourning tie
untimely and horrible death OF two
of lis loved, innocent and pra.tling
inmates.
About eight O'Clock the alarm OF
of fire was sounded, and LowreyNs
warehouse was discovered to be on
fire.
The front door OF th e warehouse
was hurst open and Immediately
the flames rushel out with light
ming rapidity, tapping every thing
in reach. In a few second, the
cntired block vas a solid sheet Of
red.
The fire started in the cotton yard
Immediately in front OF the gate in
the rear Of Mics store, and was
undoubtedly OF incendiary origin.
The firemen did heroic work and
it is well they did, or else the en-
tire business portion OF Dawson
would have to-day been a smoul-
dcring heap Of ashes.
After about two hours OF hard
work the fire was checked at the
National Bank, adjoining The
News Office, and Dawson is yet
the most vigorous eli in South
west Georgia, aud with the excep-
ton OF those who were bnrnel cut
our merchants are to-day as bIsy
as, bees waiting on those who come
from far and uear to trade in our
city.
