The members Of his family. who were at

by the heavy fall, rushed into the room.
The PROSTATE man was carried to q
sofa, and on examination a bulleb
wound was found in his side. Medical aid
was at once sent for, and everything possi-s
BILE was done to relieve the sufferer. The
wound was, however, mortal, and Mr..
Forsyth sank rapidly until he died, a few

Howren, the evangelist, died here this after
noon after an illness Of several months. The
deceased was a welLknown journalist, hav-
ing been at various times connected With
newspapers In this and other southern
cities. He was born in Bai1bridge, Ga, in
1857, and was educated by Bishop Pierce at
Emory College. Georgia Shortly after he
graduated from college ne went to Florida,
where his parents were living. He was sent
to the Florida legislature when about %
years old.
Howren was brilliant writer and would
have attained eminence in the profession Of
journalism but for his one fault In April,
1880, he announced that ke had foresworn
rum, and that he intended to devote the
rest Of his life 90 preaching the gospel and
temperance. He received a big send-ofn
here, making his first appearance as an
evangelist at O'Neilps Grand opera houke.
There we're no clergymen on the stand on
that occasion. He made his debut sur
rounded by his newspaper friends, one OF
whom introduced him to the immense
audience After that he made successful
tour through this state and Georgia,
and subsequently was received in
the Methodist ministry. The Woman's
Christian Temperance Union took him up
and made him an honorary member.
About two months ago he had drinking
spell, and 1t proved too much for his feeble
constitution. A widow lady, Mrs. McCown,
nursed him faithfully through his illpess.
and his newspaper friends, as soon as they
were informed Of his illness, also proffered
their aid. He had tho best of medical skill.
