Death of Cen. Isnac w. Avery.

The telegraph yesterday brought the sad
news Of the sudden death of Gen. Isaac
w Avery at his home in Kirkwood, near
Atlanta. Though he never held a political
office, and never made a political speech,
no Georgian was better known in and out
OF the state than ike Avery. A volumi-
nous and painstaking writer, he contribut-
ed not only to the literature of the south,
but to the building up of the section. His
early years were passed in Savannah, and
here he studied law, in the office of the
old law firm of Law, Barlow & Lowell.
Though a nervous and delicate young
man, he was one of the first men TO volun-
teer for service in the southern army, serv-
ing with the Oglethorpe Light Infantry at
Fort Pulaski, and then enlsting for the
war as a private with that corps when it
went to Virginia May 81 1861. From the
ranks he rose upon his merits to the posi-
ton of a brigadier general in the confeder-
ate army.
AS colonel of the Fourth Regiment of
Georgia Cavalry, he was severely wound
ed, and was a cripple from the date of his
misfortune to his death. He became identi-
fed with Journalism soon after the close
of war, and was editor of the Atlanta Con-
stitution in its early days and afterwards
editor and one of the proprietors of the
Atlanta Herald, at one time the success
full rival of the Constitution. He never
ceased his connection with newspaper life
and only a few days ago he sent the Morn
ing News an interesting article upon which
we print comments this morning. He was
interchangeable in what he undertook new
err firing, never resting. For several years
past he has devoted much time to the de-
Velopment of direct trade between southern
and European ports, and also inaugurated
several schemes TO induce immigration. His
volume, the History of Georgia, is a most
valuable book to the student of state his
tory, giving it's history during the stirring
times incident to the beginning of the
war, and the end of the reconstruction
epoch.
His friends throughout the state, and es-
pecialIy his older friends in Savannah,
will never forget the gentle, brave and pa
triotic Avery. He leaves behind him many
who will regret his death more than they
would that of any other well known Geor-
gian of to-day.

A Ernnd netected.

II shall never forget an experience had
while playing the Widow in Cincinnati"
said May Irwin, according to the Boston
Transcript. zone night I noticed the
queerest-loOlking old woman down in front
She looked like a farmers wife, and she
kept peering up at me over her glasses
She didn't laugh once. and in all my life
never saw a human being take play so
seriously. She was with another woman
who was equally serious. Finally the old
woman jumped up, and, peering at me
over her glasses, and shaking her finger
in my face, said, with a rasping, western
tWang:
Il was fiustered, but managed to gasp:
Like whom?
Like the Widow Jones', she answered

said she, for 1 kuow'd the Widow Jones
an her husban nigh on to twenty years
ago, an you don't look like her. She went
off from these parts. and heard she was
a widow and that Jones was dead. and
then heard she was at this the-a-ter, and
l cum to see. You amt the Widow Jones,
and / just want TO say one thing more,
l don't see how you dare to take other
peoples names and use en-
with that she fiounced out, but the
next day when | appeared at a rehearsal
she was on hand to give me another blast
/ explained to her how it was. She'd never
seen a play before, and had come twenty
miles to see her old friend, the Widow
Jones. There was a time when such things
frightened the life out of me, but I've
learned 10 turn them TO good account"

Indiar.'s word of Honor.

ut is true that an Indians word is his
parole of honor" continued the colonel in
reminiscent mood, to a Chicago Times
Herald man. when we were stationed
near Tongue river, the Cheyennes killed
some men and ran away from the reser-
walton. Their father promised to bring
them or send them in at a certain time,
and We heard they would come in fighting
Fearing that a number might be killed be-
fore they were overcome, troops were or
dered from Fort Custer, and they came to
the reservation and waited for the two
Indian boys to give themselves up as
they had promised to do. Sure enough,
they saw them coming over the hill with
their war paint on, dressed out in all
their finery and firing as they rode. They
met the troops fighting like devils. One of
them fell, but the other actually fought
until he was shot by man in the rear
ranks. They kept their parole, but fought
every inch of the way to death.
And those Cheyennes were not bad In
dians-they were of the dime novel sort,
who long to emulate the deeds of other
braves, and become reckless in a fight
Then, knowing that they had to suffer for
their crime, they determined to sell their
lives as dearly as possible"

About the Next Governor.

The Indications are that Attorney Cen
eral Terrell will not have a walk-over for
the democratic nomination for governor
of Georgia. although he may have the ben
eft Of all of the machinery and influence
of the state administration. He is a
strong man, and would probably make an
acceptable executive. In the event that
he should win in the convention, he would
bring out a fun vote. However, it looks
as il he would have opposition, and by
men in every particular worthy Of his best
efforts, IN the contest. Mr.. duBignon
IS well backed by the southern and eastern
sections, and has many friends through
out the state. In Northern and Eastern
Georgia he is a strong second choice, with
Judge Gambler in the race, and a first
choice with that eminent jurist out of the
Face.
1t is a question which even his close per-
sonal friends cannot answer, whether or
not Judge Gambler will be a candidate;
yet that old-line and true democrat seems
10 be the choice of a large constituency.
Ex-Gov. McDaniels friends are putting
his name forward, and he would have
gnu tldiGE lOT the AOiitidllDll III tLt
event that there was a hitch in the selec-
,ior of a candidate by the convention.
Mayor Meldrm has been prominently
mentioned for the nomination by some of
h!s GImirers, and the city of Atlanta has
a candidate for the honor, as usual! in the
person of ex-Mayor King. Bsides these
there are, of course, other Barl<ises, who
are willing to sit in the gubernatorial
chair and draw the half pay which tie
people of Georgia appropriate as full com
pe.sf ton for the services of the governor
Tho is not the slightest danger of ire
Office of governor becoming vacant be-
ca Use of the fact that mob Jay Is willing
ard anxious to accept it. The convention,
however, is still year Off, and there are
numerous contingencies which may arise
TO changes the aspect of things. At the
moment, however, 1t would appear that
the contest was between Mr.. duBignon
and Mr. Terrell.

The first night on the sleeper he Jared
very well. In the morning he put on his
neatly-pOlished russets, had his clothes
brushed, and then turned his back on the
bowling porter. Then the trouble began.
He received no attention except of the
most aggravating kind. Every once in a
while the porter would appear with
waiter from the dining car and they would
look at Springley as though viewing some
human curiosity or piece OF wax works. 1t
took an hour of threatening and buster
ing for him to get a table and deck of
cards. At dinner he was kept waiting till
nearly every one else was done aud then
his food was served in a heap as at ten
cent soup-and-hash cafe. There was moth
ing palatable and each attempt to get
something better was futile, though he
made enough fuss to attract everybody's
attention. The other passengers began to
look at him askance. That night he sept
in a bowling draft, with a hole in the top
blanket that he could have crept through.
Next morning he looked ike man in the
later stages of hay fever, and it took him
an hour to get a matutinal drink, that
would relieve his thing apparatus. His
shoes looked as though he had been out
in a storm, and his breakfast was one that
would not tempt a harvest hand, much less
an invalid. After vainly trying to call the
bet off Spring.ey paid it. From that on
he was munificent in his tips and he was

Hanging NImrderers.

H. S. Perry, the murderer of Belly La
nier, was hung yesterday at Decatur. The
murderer and his victim were white men
in the ordinary walks of everyday life.
The murder was cold-blooded The slayer
bounded the man for whose death he
suffered from place to place, until he
had a sure opportunity, and then shot him
to death. A plea was put up that Perry
killed Lanier in defense of his wife's
honor. That plea has saved many an as
sassln's neck from the moose, but, by
some extraordinary mutation of justice
it did not save Perrys The same plea
was made before the governor in behalf
of Communication Of Perry's sentence,
but fortunately for justice, the chief ex-
ecutive had nerve enough TO let the law
take its course
Hanging a man is a dreadful punish
ment, but the hanging of Perry will do
good. inasmuch as it will make men who
are ready to kill upon the slightest PROV
oeation hesitate when they think that
1.-THE dangling rope may be their end"
There is another murderer now on trial
in Middle Georgia for a similar crime, and
he is making a similar defense. His crime
is worse, If possible than was Perry's,
and no soft sentimentality, the nonsense
of southern chivalry," and all that stuff,
should save him. There are some other
Georgia murIerers near the gallows. There
is no bloodthirstiness in demanding that
the laws which are designated to protect
life should be enforced The demand is not
20 crafty desire for revenge, or to en-
courage a lust for human blood but it
is for the protection of society from
murderers. The handy pistol and the
sharp knife will disappear if those who
allow themselves to be always on the
lookout for an opportunity TO use them
realize the fact that their death may fol-
low that Of their vietlm's.

Than the railroads and the men who
furnish the freight there are no greater

should work together for the common
