and became manageable. The horse
rushed down the road at a terrific
speed, and had run about a hundred
yards when the wagon was overturned

Nettie fell with such force to the
ground that her neck was broken, and
she at once became unconscious. Aid
was summoned from their home, which
was only a short distance away, but
nothing could be done for the unfor-

pired. She was about p years old and
quite popular, all being members OF

cupants were also considerably bruised
and cut by their fall, but their injuries
ere not serious.

THE DESPOILER OF HIS
HOME.

Marcus CLARK, . white man was shot
and killed while seated on bed in q
room occupied by g colored woman
named Savannah Brown and her sister
at ~ Young St, Atlanta, Sunday night.
The shot was fred from the outside
through a window pane and is thought
to have come from Winchester 10
the hands of King higgins, alias John
Brown, the woman's husband, from
whom it is said, CLARK had caused q
separation.
ut was about $40 O'Clock that the
people living in the neighborhood of
~ Young Street heard the sharp re-
port of rife. Among those who heard
the shot was Patrolman Stallings, who
resides near she scene. He FASTENED
to the house and found the outside
door locked. With q shove he broke
the fastening and entered the room.
By the dim light OF smoked lamp
he discerned q woman on bed max
ing strenuous efforts TO pack lot OF
quilts between the bed and the wall
When the woman saw the policeman
she jumped from the bed ana asked
him what he wantt d.
Without replying Stallings began
searching the place. After looking
around for three or four minutes he
fl q ly pulled away the quilts which the
woman had packed by the wall and be-
ne ath them he saw q white man whose
eyes were closed and from whose head
brain and blood oozed
hat-that-is-is-op only friend Of
mine.' stsmmered the woman, tremb-
ling WITH fright.
From the bed and from beneath the
quilts the dying man was taken and
laid upon the floor with a pillow I'M
| der his head. The ambulance came
from the Grady hospital and he was
conveyed TO that place.
The following is the account OF the
shooting as given by Savannah:
Mo Clark came to my house about
half past seven O'Clock to collect some
money owed on furniture He hadn't
been in the house long when he sat
down on the bed and began to tell me
that he had to have the money. The
| bed was in q corner and there was q
window near the head. Mr.. CLARK was
on the side nearest the wall and / was
on the side by the window. All Of a
sudden there was q deafening noise
and q crash OF breaking glass close by
my head. = jumped up and started to
leave the room, as was scared. But
heard Mr.. CLARK groan and went to
him. l saw that he was hurt. but
didn't think that he was so badly shot.
The reason tried to hide him when
heard somebody beating on the door
was because l knew he might not like
people to know he WAS in such a
place."
The woman's story was only partly
true, for she told q falsehood about
the cause of Clark's visit. IS letters
written to the woman were found in
his pocket.-CoLuMBIA, GA, CHRoNI-

HOSPITAL
Tries a New Remedy for
Rheumatism.
A Doctor from Paris Tempo
rarily in this Country.
We read in the New York Herald:

- 49,
"PolyDice Oil, the new remedy foe
rheumatism and similar diseesrs'
which, as already related in the Her
aid. was applied at Bellevue Hospital
by DIR. Alexander who represents DR..
Mabille, of Paris. the discoverer Of the
remedy, has cady in many of the
cases experimental upon ct the Belle
yue Hospital dispensary achieved ali,
and more than was claimed for it.
The physicians have been as much
astonished as pleased with the results
OF experiments, and an authorative
acknowledgement OF the indebtedness
Of the medical world TO Dr.. Mabille
may soon be looked for.
The most obstinate cases, it is under
stood, have yielded readily to the treat
ment. Patients who have been sfflict-
ed with lumbaRo for twenty years
have exhibited improvement after q
single application.
The most remarkable results, howev-
er. were achieved in a case where the
patient treated had been a sufferer
from aggravated rheumatic, which af-
fected tendons of the legs so that he
was unable to touch the ground with
his heels. One application relieve him
to such an extent that he ia now able
