time of admirable behavior. Our

their part can hinder us. They might
offer large retainers, but death would
not take the fee. The breath will fail,
and the eyes will close. and the heart
Will stop. You may hang the couch
with gorgeous tapestry, but what does

to exchange your body that has head |

innumerable, that limps with the stone

hames on the funeral pyre of fevers,
for an incorruptible body and an eve
that blinks not before the jasper gates

about which no man should be reckless

but tell you that you will want some

KILLED.

An unknown negro was killed at
Austell by Southern freight train Just
before day Sunday morning The train
had just left when the operator Stun
bled over something while walking
along the track. He found it to be a
piece of human flesh. A close search
showed that the body had been liter
ally ground to pieces, the head being
the largest piece left. He is supposed
to have gotten on the passenger train
in Atlanta to go to Peyton and, being
asleep, passed his station and went to
Austell, and was killed while on his
way back to Peyton on the freight
train.

Furthermore. operations FOR the short

morning there were few persons who sup
posed thar the Metropolitan Street Rail
nay would purchase the control OF the
property under any circumstances. The
definite issue Of the matter resulted. as al
ready noted. ia sensational price move
mants in Third Avenue. The company
affairs undoubtedly assumed an entirely
different aspect by reason Of the change Of
ownership. Great economies in operation
are made possible through the Metropoi-
tan's control. while the great resources OF
the purchasing company will undoubtedly
simplify the reorganization Of the Third
Avenue system.
The advance in Third Avenue started

ceedingly rapid advances were scored,
particularly in those stocks in which the
bearish commitments were the most eN-

Transit advanced over seven points. while
Metropolitan rose over eleven points.
There were also noteworthy movements In
other stocks. Peoples Gas. American To-
hacco. Continental Tobacco. and Baltimore

more urgent buying for the short account,
the trading fell away. in respect to ac-

velopments in Third Avenue affairs, there
was very little OF particular or general
