Death of A. H. Garland.

Former Attorney General Au-
gustus II. Garland was stricken
with apoplexy while addressing
the United States supreme court
at Washington on the 26th inst.
and died within less than
ten minutes. The occurrence
came with startling and tragic un-
eXpectedness, changing the usual
calm and dignity of the court in
to temporary confusion while the
dying man was being carried from
the chamber in futile effort to
alleviate his condition.
When the court convened Mr..
Garland resumed an argument in
the case of Towson VS.. Moore,
which had been going on in the
court. There was full bench
with the exception of Justice
Brewer and White. Mr.. Garland
spoke calmly and with no evidence
of agitation or effort. He had
read from ii law volume and had
followed with the sentence: "This,
your honors, is our contention. "
As the last word was uttered
Mr.. Garland was seen to raise his
hand and then gasp. He tottered
and fell sidewise, striking against
a chair and overturning it as he
fell heavily to the floor.
Deceased resided at Little Rock.
He represented Arkansas in the
Confederate senate. In 1874 he
was elected governor of his state
and in 1876 was sent to the Uni
ted States senate, where he became
a member of Mr.. Cleveland's
cabinet, being attorney general.
Since that time he has been prac-
ticing law at Washington.

Shocking Accident.

One of the most shocking ao-
cldents that ever happened in
Fredericksburg has just occurred.
Uddo Basse, eldest son of Mr..
Afford Basse, one of the most
prominent citizens and merchants,
and Felix Keller, each about ID
years old, were in the hostler's
room of Keller's stable where the
latter wanted to show something
about n 3S-calibre pistol, in hand
ling which he must have touched
the trigger and the discharge went
through the left side of the I'M
fortunate boys abdomen. Medi-
cal aid was summoned, but the
wound was found to be of so Sc
rious nature that no human aid
could help. His life gradually
ebbed away until death relieved
him of his sufferings. Uddo was a
bright and handsome young man,
the picture of health and had q
promising future before him.

A Bristol sportsman shooting at n

plate glass in the front of the Bristol
postofiice, The ball struck the glass
at an angle Of about 30 degrees and
glanced off. 1t apparently cracked the
glass, producing large, starlike i'm

impression will demonstrate that the
glass is really not in a cracked condi-
ton.
In the center of the impression Is the
image of bird much more perfect in
detail than could be produced by the
most skilled artist who engraves in
steel. The wings. tail, etc, are noted
for perfection in every detail and are
so delicate and beautiful as to inspire
instant admiration and wonder The
incident Is most singular one indeed,

pigeon on the window pane may never
be explained Nashville Banner.
