A thrilling incident, which is well worth
mentioning, occurred during Col. Beck's
eloquent speech at the reunion Of the
Thirteenth Georgia regiment mt Stock
bridge last week. Referring % the terrible
battle Of Chicamauga, he spoke Of the brave
c1l0r-guard Of the Thrtielh. who ,Obly
seized the falling flag from the stiiiening
fingers of the dying colOr-bearer, and
dauutlessy held it aloft until the close Of
the battle, through perfect storm Of shot
and shell. Col. Beck paused for moment,
overcome by his emotions. Re
covering himself with look
and gesture eloquent in itself,
he exclaimed in thrilling tones, How l
would like 10 grasp that brave soldier by
the hand" To the colonel's complete sur
prise, the secretary Of the ass citation sprang
forward, exclaiming eXcltedly, You shall,
sir: you shallr' Then, amid defeauing aD-
plause, he led forth a venerable gentleman,
VINO the soldiers recognized as their old
color-bearer, Thomas E. Moore. Col. Beck
grasped his hand, and for several moments
not a sound broke the silence except the
sobs Of the battlescarred veterans.
Brunswick Advertiser: A few nights
ago a well known citizen was awakened by
an agonizing scream issuing from the
lips Of his daughter, who had rushed into
his room aud was then standing over his
bed trembling a. if in great terror. He
tried to calm her but il was some time be-
fore she could compose herself enough TO
tell him that she was suddenly aroused from
her slnmbers by feeling the cold, clammy
hands Of some one closing with death-like
grip around her throat She opened her
eyes, and they nearly started from their
sockets, as She saw before her the out
lines Of a burly negro With an effort
she freed herself from his grasp and rushed
into her parents room Accusing himself,
the father waited to hear No more, but
rushed into her room. Darkness pervaded
1t, but lighting the gas, a search was insti-
tuted for the man The search proved I'M
successful. Window shutters and doors
we're examined, but they showed no signs
Of being disturbed and a council Of war was
held. IL then took only a few minutes
elaboration to arrive Mt the conclusion
that the young lady's fright was caused by
dream, and that dream was the result Of
eating hearty supper.
Fire broke ont at Rome about 9 o'clock
Saturday morning in the livery stable of
Barker e. Co., and spread rapidly in spite
of the efforts of the fire department, until
the entire block on Broad street, from
Fourth avenue 20 Third, appeared TO be en-
dangered The magnificent water system
Of the city, however, aided the well -directed
Efforts Of the tiremen III quelling the flames,
which were under control after consuming
the entire stable and the contents of the two
buildings adjoining ON each side, which
were almost totally destroyed The losing
parties were: Lowenthal 81 Bro, clothing
j. Brown, clothing; A. w. Hart, shoe man
ufacturer, and Satterfield & Rawlins,
dry goods. The latter sue
ceeded in removing their entire
stock, with apparently but slight damage
The magnificent Masonic temple, which ad-
joins the stables, was damaged but sli ghtlv,
owing to the protection Of a solid fire wall
and the well-dlrected and tireless energy of
the fire department. The building is one of
the finest in the city. of the sixteen
horses in Bankers stables but two
were saved, the remainder being consumed
befoTe the eyes of the spectators, who were
utterly powerless to aid i'll their escape, as
the interior Of the stable was a solid sheet
of flame. The property destroyed was we'll
covered by Insurance.
