Drowned in Augusta,

AUGUSTA, GA, March 10.-One of the
saddest of accidents shocked this whole
community this evening.
1t is doubly regretted because the lives
of two of the most prominent and popu.
lar young people ofAugusta were lost.
Mr.. Henry G. Lamar and Miss Louise
King Connolly were out pleasure.riding
on the canal, when their boat was drawn
into the race, or grating, at the bulkhead,
at the Warwick mills. The rushing cur
rent swamped the small boat, and both
were drowned. Their bodies were soon
found in the raceway, below the mill,
which is several miles above Augusta
where Lake Olmstead joins the canal.
The high water in the river did not
affect the canal or lake, but the millrace
was opened as precaution, in case the
canal banks we're injured by the high
water in the river alongside.
The two bodies were carried to their
homes to the grief stricken families, and
all Augusta is horror.stricken by this
terrible and double drowning.
Mr.. Lamar was nephew of Hon.
Joseph B. Cummings, and very popular
in Augusta. Miss Connolly was grand
daughter of the late Judge John p.
King, niece and ward of Henry B. King,
and niece of the Msrchioness of Angle
sey. She was a belle and beauty, and
her philanthropic and Christian works
made her the worthy successor of her
noted aunt, the late Louise King, who
was worshiped by rich and poor in
Augusta. Miss Connolly was also an
heiress and only nineteen. Mr.. Lamar
was about twenty six years of age

on their skill and kindness, and how the
loves and hopes of fathers and mothers
was centered in what the doctor could do
for the child or some loved member OF
the family. They say that doctors get
hardened to suffering. Maybe they do,
but they ought not to. If was doctor
I would make show of tenderness and
sympathy whether l felt it or not. 1t
goes long way with the sick and the
suffering, and with the family.
How much depends on the doctors
skill in saving life can never be known,
but a friend of mine in New York told
ME that very eminent surgeon said to
him some years ago, II am responsible
for Grover Cleveland's election. If it
had not been for me he would have been
defeated. That man Burchard who made
the speech about "Rum, Romanism and
Rebellion" was about to die from kidney
disease. He sent for me as last resort.
I cut him open in the back and took his
old republican kidney out and cleaned it
and put it back again and sewed him up,
and he got we'll and made that speech
that drove the Roman Catholics away
from Blaine and elected Cleveland. Don't
you see that if had made q mistake in
my diagnosis, or miscut with my knife,
Burchard would have died and Grover
would have got left. Eh?"
And there was that poor man Garfield, !,
the president, whom the doctors killed.
An eminent surgeon told me that he was
probed to death. They hunted for the
ball for three days, and bored new holes
with their probes until he was lacerated
all through, and for no good. He said
that pistol balls did no harm to stay in a
man, that they became incisted, and it
was better to let them alone than probe
Tor them, and that the present practice IN
London and Paris was never to probe,
but let nature go to work and heal the
wound. Garfield would probably have
lived if they hadn't probed him, and if
he had lived Harrison wouldn'. have been
president, don't you see? But We can't
get along without the doctors. They are
our comfort and our security by day and
by night. They are our hope and our
trust in times of afliction and peril.
Then hurrah for the new doctors. May
they live long and prosper. It is long
ways to the goal of their ambition, but
they must have patience if they would
have patients.

A Horrible MURDER.
A NEGRO BEATS HIS WIFE'S HEAD INFO
JELLY WIN AN AXE,
And Throws Her Body in a Branch
and Covers Il With Bark.

d
and Covers Il With Bark.
a horrible murder that was committed
two weeks ago to-day came to light last
! Thursday.
Two weeks ago to-day, on Mr.. James
Crawford's place, in the Twelfth district
of this county, George Mason, a negro,
beat his wife's head into jelly with an
axe and threw her body in branch and
covered it carefully with logs and bark
Since that time the woman had been
missing, and until Thursday no one sus-
pectcd her fate.
The son of the murdered woman wit
messed the horrible tragedy and through
fcal he had kept it a secret until last
Thursday, when he told his uncle of the
crime.
Sheriff Christie and Coroner Daniel
were notified, and at the inquest the
boys story was as follows:
yesterday week ago pa got mad
with ma, and taking her to a branch
near the house said he was going to kill
her. He made me go along and after we
got to the branch pa knocked ma in the
head with an axe. He then dug a hole
in the branch and put the body in it.
He couldn't cover it up we'll and he took
some small logs and the bark oil a
stump near by and covered part of the
grave. After doing this he took me off
and give me away, saying that he was
going away"
The boys name was Nick Mason, and
he told his story in straight forward
manner. The body was found buried in
the branch just as he had described
The last seen of George Mason he was
to leave. Sheriff Christie is
on his trail however, and this is assul-
ance enough that it is only question of
short time when justice will be melted
out to the fienlish and inhuman hus-
band.
