the veterans who had heard the weird bugle
cry-"at rest'-when it was not so signifi-
cant as yesterday. Chief Bugler Roscoe
served after the war in the Fourth New
Hampshire artillery as bugler. and is said
to be excelled by none in the use of the
bugles.
Justice Patterson, who lost a leg in the
army, marched in line yesterday with the
veterans. Yesterday was his court day,
but he adjourned it over until to-day. and
placed mourning placard, announcing
that his Office was "closed on account of
the death of President Davis"

A TOO WILLING BRIDE.
John Roilirs Gets Badly Tied up IN a
Matrimonial Tanele.


Matrimonial Tangle.
Justice McDermott concluded an srnns;re,
marriage case Tuesday by turning the
would-oe husband over to city court. John
hollns, the prosecuted, is an employe az
the Ocean Steamship wharves. He was
arrested Saturday upon a warrant chang
ing MIN With bresch of promise. The war
rant was sworn out by Matilda King. a
sfnacraw woman. When Rollins con-
1ronted his prosecutor in the magistrates
court, aud was told that if he would marry
the woman the case would be quashed, he
consented to do so, and asked the magis-
trate to let one Of the officers go with him
to the ordinary's office to procure the
license. Rollins then had in his pocket a
marriage license for himself and a colored
girl living in Lovers lane.
after the license was procured and every
thing was IN readiness for the marriage
ceremony, Rollins objected to being mar
rled by magistrate. lie told his affianced
that the people would twit them about
being forced TO marry IN a magistrate
court. and finally persuaded her TO go with
him to the house of a minister. The couple
led the way through the street followed by
crowd anxious to see the nuptials The
party went to one or two places, but the
minister at each house happened to
be out. They went down South Broad
street, and upon reaching Whitemans
saloon Rollins told the woman hanging on
his arm that as they were approaching the
place wdere they would be married his
nerves were becoming unsteady. and he
went in the barroom to get something to
steady them. That was the last seen of
him. 0le
The crowd waited for Rollins to come out
OF the saloon, but he ran through back
door and made his escape. and was not seen
again until Tuesday, when he was arrested

got her friends in different parts of the
city to locate Rollins. This was easily
done, as he returned the next morning to
his work, not seeking 20 evade the
officers. His re-arrest caused consider

thought the case was concluded.
Rollins was accompanied to the Justices
Office by quite a number of friends, who

Those to Whom Credit is Due.

DUPONT, Ga, Dec. 9.-Editor Morning
Ne,cS: In an issue of the Atlanta Constitu-
ton of Nov. Is appears special from Way
cross, Ga, purporting to give the details of
the arrest of the murderers in the Hughes
double murder case in Clinch county, Geor-
gia, which gives honor where honor is not
due.
Detective Mowatt OF Atlanta lays claim
to the honor of working up the case and
arresting two of the guilty parties, whereas
the facts are Detective Mowatt did nothing
toward the arrest OF either Robert Mccoy
or Williams Hicks, nor had he anything to
do with working up the case in which re-
suited their arrest.
The honor for taking into custody Mccoy
is due to Sheriff Potsdamer of Suwannee
county, Florida and TO Marshal William
Hinton, OF Jasper, Fla, for the arrest of
Hicks. Detective Mowatt did not appear
on the scene until the arrests had been
made, and "all danger was over" From
the facts as we know them Sheriff Pots
damer and Marshal Hinton deserve and
should receive all the honor in this matter.
The third man engaged in the perpetra-
ton of the murder is still at large. Now,
if Detective Mowatt will come down and
arrest him he can return to Atlanta very
much gratiied with his success" and not
until then. In case he should fail the little
Jewi, detective of Suwanneexand the big
cracked detective Of Jasper express per-
feet willingness to take up the case and
scoop in the third man as they did the other
two.
We, the undersigned citizens of Dupont,
respectfully request that you publish this
statement in justice to all parties concerned.

Of God might say that great man in
Israel has fallen. Mr.. Davis was identified
with those who fought for the lost cause,
but he was great man, whose peers are
few. Ii he had lived in some other age he
would have been knighted and honored.
He was distinguished for his bravery, his
courage, his zeal. He was the peer Of any
man that was born or ever lived in America.
No man net Mr.. Davis in debate but that
he found a formidable opponent and a foe
man worthy of his steel. Yet, there was a
tenderness and courteousness in his manner
like that of woman.
History, the speaker said, will place Mr..
Davis among the greatest men in America.
He loved the constitution, and when he
saw that it was being trampled upon he
rose up against it. The speaker did not
seek to bring up old issues Let them sleep.
he said. Mr.. Davis purity, honesty and
truthfulness were not wasted before the
nations of the world. They will live. Mr..
Davis was true to what he believed to be
right, and he followed his convictions at
any COSG. IN Cn6 great struggle
be held that be was right, and
he did his duty like a man. Right is
right, since God is God. He felt this, and
if he had faltered he would have been dis
loyal He was worthy of emulation.
When we die, then, many heart will
grieve." Jefferson Davis. the speaker said,
stands, and shall stand, as one of the i'm
mortals- Where the name of Lee, Grant
or Lincoln are, there shall be enshrined
that Of jefferson Davis.
Whatever be the causes that seek to
make us believe" the speaker said, "that
oblivion will wipe the name and the hero's
deeds out, they shall fail, and as the deeds
OF the past come crowding upon them, they
will forget their purpose. Let him rest in
peace, and in the last day may he rise to
the life immortal and to Him above, for
ever and forever"

DIR. BowHAN's EULoGY.
Rey DIR. Bowman was suffering from a
cold. and excused himself from speaking az
length, as his voice was weak; vet az the
pastor of the church, he said it was ex-
pected that one like himself, who had in the
beginning Of the struggle gone forth with
zsal and earnest purpose with Bible in one
hand and a musket in the other, should say
something of the great leader who is being
borne to the silent tomb He extolled the
life and character OF Mr. Davis. The posi-
ton the great chieftain of the confederacy
held was not of his own seeking. It was
due to the unanimous choice of millions of
his southern people. 1t was a great weight
Of responsibility put upon him It re-
ouired a master mind to frame a
governmental policy for a young rep1blic.
X required craftsmanship, political acumen
and human Judgment of the highest order.
IL would have been an herculean task To
have established such republic even If il
could have been peacefully accomplished.
To have held such a position no human
could have failed to err in honest Judgment

tian, to whom many messages
from the field were brought to
him when the messengers found him on his
knees in communion with his God. Then
history will enshrine his name among the

cluded with pretty poetical paraphrase of
a stanza,
