ATHENS $
Taylor Russell Indicted by Grand Jury
 for Killing His Brother

Athens July 22.-(Special.)- Gilbert has arrested Taylor Russell, a farmer liv- ing in the southwest part of the county on an indictment from the recent grand jury charging him with murder in the first de- gree, his brother Richard Russell being the victim. Some months since Taylor visited his brother at the latter's home and while there a difficulty arose over the correction of a grandchid of Richard and words led to blows and then Taylor drew an ugly knife and began to slash his brother, stabbing him so seriously that death resulted in a short time. He made no effort to escape but remained about home and worked a crop
 A negro man living near Harris station, in this county, came to town yesterday af- ternoon bringing with him a human skull that he had found in the woods near that place, and scattered about were several other human bones. The skull was clean of flesh and showed plainly just in the rear of the ear a bullet hole. There is no clue as to who it had belonged to, or how long the body had been buried in the shallow grave.
 Mrs. James Pepper, most estimable wo- man. died at the home of her husband, six miles east of Athens yesterday after a short illness. She leaves a husband and a num- Der of children to mourn her death.

CHARGE IS UNTRUE
No Convict Brick in Rich & Biederman
 Building

G. Hodgson. of the firm of Collignon & Hodgson, architects for the new Rich &s Biederman building now being erected in Second avenue yesterday gave out the fol- lowing statement in regard to the charge that the architects had authorized the use of convict made brick in the building:
 ''The charge that we authorized the use of convictmade brick in the Rich & Bied- erman building is untrue. We let the con- tract for the entire building to Messrs. Miles & Bradt, who, according to our speci- fications were required to use Ensley brick or brick equally as good. The contractors found it impossible to get Ensley brick and several days ago submitted to me a sample of brick from Chattahoochee Nothing was said about 1t being made by convicts and l told them that 1 could not judge by a single sample and a carload was placed on the ground, but have not as yet been ac- cepted Neither ourselves or the other par ties concerned were aware until yesterday morning that the sample brick were con- vict-made.'
 Our specifications call for workmanship and material and only that kind will be used"

The funeral of Hon. Ebon c. Ingersoll. brother of Colonel Robert c. Ingersoll, took place at his residence in Washington, D. C., June ?, 1879. The ceremonies were extremely simple, consisting of merely viewing the remains by relatives and friends and a funeral oration by Colonel Ingersoll. A large number of distinguished gentlemen were present. Soon after Colo mel Ingersoll began to read his eloquent characterization of the dead, his eyes filled with tears. He tried to hide them behind his eyeglasses, but he could not do it, and finally he bowed his head upon the dead mans coffin in uncomfortable grief. It was after some delay and the greatest efforts al self-mastery that Colonel Ingersoll was able to finish reading his address, which was as follows:
 My friends, 1 am going to do that which the dead often promised he would do for me The loved and loving brother, hus- band, father, friend, died where manhood's morning almost touches noon, and while the shadows still were falling toward the west He had not passed on life's high way the stone that marked the highest point, but being weary for a moment, he laid down by the wayside, and, using his burden for a pillow, fell into that dream less sleep that kisses down his eyelids still. While yet in love with life and raptured with the world, he passed to silence and pathetic dust.
 "Yet, after all, it may be best just in the happiest, sunniest hour of all the voyage, while the eager winds are kissing every sail, to dash against the unseen rock, and in an instant hear the boIlows roar over sunken ship For, whether in mid-sea or among the breakers of ule farther s'hore, a wreck must mark at last the end of each and all.
 s"And every life no matter if it's every hour is rich with love and every moment

FRIDAYS CHAUTAUQUA
Attendance of Session Large and the
 Crowds Enthusiastic

Talladega, July 22.-(special) During all the six years of the Alabama Cnautauqua assembly there has never been more en- tEusiastic crowds or larger general attend- ance than the session of 1899 just closed. Despite the hot afternoons fair crowds have sat in the hall from day to day and at night the throngs were immense Noth- ing has been more captivating than the musical numbers rendered by Merrilfs or chestra. The musical organization contains a large number of solo artists prominent among whom are Miss Cohen, first cornet- ist; Carl Laverty, cornetist, and Miss Clarkson, aocompanist. Friday was the closing day, and the weather seemed to be in sympathy with the occasion, the heavens seeming to weep in unison with the moist eyes of those who were saying goodbye to each other.
 After an intimation from Manager Van diver that there might be danger of losing the ChautauQua unless there was more universal support of it on the part of Talla- dega citizens, 113 men came forward and subscribed the amount necessary to pay all current expenses of the coming assembly for the year 1900, which will meet in July next year in Talladega.
 Fridays programme consisted of the usual afternoon orchestral offering, fol- lowed by pleasant lecture from Hon. A. w. Cozart, of Columbus, Ga. MT. Cozart has pleasing delivery, an incisive manner and quaintness of speech which gives pe- culiar effect to his sentences. He is a very taking Chautauquan lecturer, and our peo- ple were pleased with his eloquence and fun. He is a growing man, and Is sure to u'in first laurels on the platform
 In the evening a pleasant reading from Miss Linda Louise Harrison was enjoyed, which was full of fun and frolic. The Laverty family won vocferous applause with two musical numbers This family consists of q blind father and six children, all of whom are expert musicians The Colonels then followed in delightful pro- gramme of an hours duration, each se- lection being received with hearty hand olapping. Their voices blended beautifully in quartette singing. Their solo work is exceptionally good.
 J. Wellington Vandiver the manager of the Chautauqua, should be congratulated on the excellence of the programme and good sense and judgment displayed in the selection of talent, to say nothing of the patience and politeness which his exactiug duties as manager called upon him daily 10 exercise. It Is due to his untiring ef- forts that the Chautauqua of 1900 Is already an assured success. He has the united backing and approval of the entire people of this city.
 As indicative of tine political feeling of the Chautauquans, at the mention of Nor gan's name, cheer after cheer rang out long and loud during the oratorical contest between the colleges Wednesday.
 Thus ends the most successful assembly in the history of the Alabama Chautauuua. A hearty invitation is extended to the en- tire state of Alabama to come and partake of the feast of reason and flow of soul that will perVade the assembly of 1gOU

INGERSOLL'S ORATION AT
 HIS BROTHERS. GRAVE

jeweled with joy, will, at its close, be- come a tragedy, as sad and deep, and dark as can be woven or the warp and wool of mystery and death. This brave and tender man in every storm Of life was oak and rock. but in the sunshine he was vine and flower. He was the friend of all heroic souls. He climbed tae heights and left all superstitions far below, while on his forehead fell the golden dawning of a grander day.
 He loved the beautiful. and was with color form and music touched to tears. He sided Va the weak, and wi31 wiling hand gave aims; with loyal heart and with the purest hand he faithfully discharged all public trusts. He was a worshfpper o3 lio- erty, and friend of the oppressed. A thousand times l have heard him quote the words: For justice all place temple and all season summer He believed that hap piness was the only gooG, reason the oily torol, justice the only w0-shiper, humanity the only religion, and love tre priest.
 "He added to the sum of human joy and were every one for whom he did some loy- ing service to bring a blossom to his grave he would sleep tonight beneath a wilderness of flowers. Life Is the narrow vale between the cold and barren peaks of two eternities. We strive in vain to look beyond the heights. We cry aloud, and the only an- swer is the echo of our wailing cry. From the voiceless hps of the unreplying dead there comes no word; but in the night of death hope sees a star and listening love can hear the rustic of wing.
 He who sleeps here, when dying, mis- taking the approach of death for the return of health, whispered with his last breath, I am better now Let us believe, in spite of doubts and dogmas and tears and fears that these dear words are true of all the countless dead. And now, to you who have been chosen from among the many men he loved to do the last sad office for the dead, we give his sacred dust. Speech can- not contain our love. There was-there is no gentier, stronger manlier man."
