ATE RAT POISON TO DIE.
AUGUST HIRr SWALLOWS A BOX
FULL OF ROUGH ON RATS

Despopdency the Cause fnr the Rash
Act-Hirt's Life Not What 1t Should
Have Been-He Leaves No Doubt of
his Intentions to Kill himself
August Hirt, % years old, ate box OF
rough on rats with suicidal intent yester-
dav afternoon and died last night from the
effects of the poison. Dependency is sup
nosed to have been the cause of the rash
act.
Hirt has been living for some time at No.
1911 WAYNE street In a manner which
wasn't exactly in accordance with the
rules of Christianity, and his parents, who
live on Jefferson street, had been Gliding
him about it. He had been out of en-
ployment, and that together with the ex-
pressed dissatisfaction Of his parents at his
mode Of life seemed to wrong him TO a con-
siderable extent for quite awhile.
A few days ago Hirt determined to leave
the city, and purchased q ticket for Balti-
more by the steamer VIM. Lawrence. which
sailed yesterday afternoon. He changed
his mind, however, and either sold the
ticket or had his money refunded by the
company.
THE FATAL DRUG.
About o'clock be took box OF rough
on rats to the house and told the inmates
that be intended TO kill himself. He laid the
box down to prepare himself for the event,
and while he was making the necessary
arrangements one Of the parties In the
house stole the poison and threw it away.
When Hirt discovered that his instru-
ment OF death had been put out of reach he
said nothing, but quietly sat down and
seemed to change his mind about dying.
After conversing awhile he went out and
remained away a short time.
When he returned he had in his pocket
another box Of rough on rats, but he showed
it to no one. Going quietly into a room,
Hirt swallowed the contents of the box and
then told the inmates that he had succeeded
In poisoning himself and would die in q
short while.
TOO LATE FOR THE DOCTORS.
They sent for DIR. johnson, but when the
physician arrived Hirt had become uncon-
scious and was beyond medical aid. Every
thing possible was done, however, up 70
the time Of his death, but it awaited moth
ing.
Hirt had expressed himself several times
about committing suicide if his folks didn't
let him alone, but no attention wac paid to
him as no one believed he was at all seri-
GUS about it,

rumor is aaoat to the effect that as soon as
track laying is finished on the Macon and
Atlantic 10 Brewton, Macon will then have
new direct route to Savannah, composed of
the Macon aud Dublin and Macon and
Atlantic, operated under enc system.
Those who claim to know say this is
the exact reason for the two roads refus-
ing to extend their lines further 10 either
direction. The two roads were only two
miles apart at Dublin and it is said they
would not object to each diverging from
the original line and connecting at this
point. In fact this is openly said to be
the best thing left for the roads to do. 1t
is generally admitted that it would pay
neither TO parallel the other from Macon
to Savannah and 1t is believed now TO be a
question OF who shall buy. It Is said that
the Macon and Dublin would cell and SO
would the Macon and Atlantic, or both
might be willing to buy II they had the
money. 1t Is not improbable that the
Macon and Dublin can get the money.
Some say that IL neither arrangement can
be perfected the two roads will join issues
and operate under one management. Well
posted railroad men say the Macon and
Atlantic will never be built further west
than Dublin, and the Macon and Dublin
will never be built further west than that
place.

Alderman Harris, acting mayor, had his
misunderstanding saloonkeeper yesterday,
and he dealt it out with as much severity
and 1rmness as Mayor McDonough has
done.
Robert T. D. Lee who keeps a saloon a.
the foot of Huntington street by the old
Hebrew cemetery, was charged with selling
liquor last Sunday. A colored woman was
the witness against him and swore that she
bought liquor in the saloon that day. Lee
denied the charge, but Alderman Harris
considered that the evidence had conclu-
sively proven him guilty and imposed a
fine of 500 or thirty days.

AFTER THE ROBBERS NOW.

The Detectives Following Them as
Though There Was Million in It.
The express robbers are still at large, and
the detectives are still working on the clews
which they possess.
The stolen pouches have been found. w.
g. Ferrill, who lives near the six-mie post
on the Central railroad, discov-
cred them day before yesterday
under q pine tree on his place.
and brought them to the city and turned
them over TO Agent Cooper. The pouches
are badly cut, probably with razor. A
portion of the money has also been recov-
cred, and the robbers have but a small
amount Of money for their labor. What
the clews being worked on will lead to is a
matter of c.njecture yet
Col. William Garrard returned from At
lanta yesterday morning. He was one of
the passengers on the Central train for At
lanta the night Of the fige-mile post rob-
berry
Col Garrard says that none Of the pas
sengers knew anything about the robbery
until told of it by Conductor Cubbedge
when the train was several miles from the
scene
Col. Garrard, Judge FalIigant and sew
eral other gentlemen were in the smoker
talking when the train slowed down beyond
the four~mile junction, but thought moth
ing of it. Their attention was attracted by
the rapid firing OF pistols. and they saw the
fash OF the pistols from the car windows,
but not being accustomed to train robberies
on the Central railroad they supposed the
pistol firing was by lot Of men on a
spree.
When Conductor Cubbedge came through
the train collecting fares some minutes later
they we're greatly surprised to hear that the
train had been boarded by masked men and
the express messenger robbed.
The night was dark and the passengers
could see nothing from the cars but the
flash of the pistols.

THE ALABAMA SLING.
a Demand That THE Ordinance gainst
Them be Enforced.

SAVANNAH, GA, Sept. 15.-Editor
Morning NelOs: There is no doubs but that
the efforts that have been made by Mayor
McDonough to carry out the ordinances of
the city as far as they have come TO his
knowledge, or he has had the opportunity
TO look into them have met with the cordial
approval Of large majority of our citizens,
but there IL one ordinance that is entirely
disregarded by the police. and one that is SO
important that previous board of alder
men made it g penalty Of s95 for
any one to carry what is called an
Alabama sling. Hardly boy in
the city is without one, and
no bird is free from their unerring aim.
Policemen in uniform cannot arrest
these parties, as they are on the watch for
them, and generally are more swift Of foot
than the guardians Of the city but Police
man in citizens clothes can find good field
for his labors in almost any portion of the
city south Of South Broad street, and the
arrest of few Of the trespassers aud tho
payment Of the fine that the parents would
have to pay would soon put an end TO Ala
bama slinga, aud our singing birds would
have an opportunity to MARBLE their sweet
est strains. A SUFFERER.

who instructs her two daughters as regu-

ing. II consider shoppinga science, she
says, and an important one in the house
hold economy. How one respects clear
headed, sensible woman who knows how
to shop rapidly, economically, and well,
and how few such one meets. ! take my
girls with me in my rounds of buying,
teach them the different fabrics and dis
elimination in the choice as regards tho
use required. Nobody taught me this;
/ acquired my knowledge by a long line
of mortifying and expensive experiences,
which have determined my daughters
shall be saved from.
II have taught them 10 avoid bargain
counters as they would plague and
never to be drawn into the pushing, jam
ming crowd which strives to buy pair
of gloves for SO cents at an expense of 90
cents worth of vital force and self re-
spect, to say nothing of time wasted and
the possibility, after all, that they have
paid 98 cents for a rs cent pair. have
taught them, too, that the best is the
cheapest, which does not imply always
the most fashionable nor the most expen-
sive. Flimsy, i'll made articles consider
almost immoral-the influence of pair
of honest shoes or yard of first quality
cloth think outrGnks many a sermon.
