Great Granddaughter of Gen. TOombs
Dead at Washington.

Washington. Ga, Sept. miss
Louise Colley, a great granddaughter
of Gen. Robert Toombs, and one of the
most popular young ladies' of Wash
ington, passed peacefully away at the
home of her father, Mr.. H. o. Colley,
yesterday. after a long period of ILL
ness. Hers is one of the saddest
deaths that has ever occurred in
Washington. She had been a sufferer
from heart trouble for a number OF
years, and in hopes of benef1tting their
daughter, her parents moved to Ne
braska. where they spent some time.
The change, however, proved of more
harm than good and upon their return
to Washington two years ago, Miss
Colley's health began to fail rapidly
until the end came yesterday after
noon.
Miss Colley was 10 years of age, and
a young lady of many noble traits of
character. She had scores of friends
who will deeply mourn her loss. The
interment was made to-day in the lot
where sleers her distinguished ances-
tor.
Washington received her first bale of
cotton of the season Saturday.

FIVE ROADS IN IT.
They Have Control of Line Betwee m
Richmond and Washington.

The break between Richmond and
Washington for the North and South
lines, operating through trains be-
tween far Southern points and Jersey
City, has been removed. The several
railroads at interest will control the
rail line between Richmond and Wash
ington, instead Of having to make
terms with former owners.
The Atlantic Coast Line Company of
Connecticut, has retired 50, 500 900 of
its 4 per cent. certificates of indebted
ness. These certificates were bought
by the company in the market at
prices ranging from SO to So. Money
for this purpose was supplied from the
company's treasury and from the sale
of the majority of the stock of the
Richmond. Fredericksburg and Poto-
mac Railroad Company. which was
purchased by new company formed
to take over the railroad lines from
Washington to Richmond.
In this company the Atlantic Coast
Line will have a fifth interest. The
Pennsylvania Railroad, the Seaboard
Air Line Railroad, the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railroad and the Southern Rail-
way will also each have a fifth inter-
est.
This Washington Richmond line is
composed of the Washington Southern
Railroad. which the Pennsylvania has
sold to the new company, and the
Richmond, Fredericksburg and Poto-
mac. The former runs from Washing
ton to Quantico. a distance of about
thirty-seven miles, and the latter from
Quantico to Richmond, eighty miles.
Under the original plan there were
to be six companies in the mutually OF
ownership scheme. Subsequently, how
ever. the Pennsylvania Railroad ac-

GRIEF CAUSED DEATH.
Unrequited Love and Failing Mind
Induce His Rash Act.

Eatonton, Ga, Sept. 1.-The death of
jeff Marshall the young man who shot
himself through the head Friday and
died Saturday night. has caused deep
grief in this community.
1t is said he went to Ridden, mile
or so from his fathers home, after the
mall that he received a letter from
Dawson, where he had conducted
drug business before returning to this
county last June; that the letter was
from his affianced, and that after
reading the epistle and just before
reaching home, he stopped at the farm
gin house, seated himself in a buggy
and deliberately fired the pistol ball
through his brain. The note, which
was found on his person addressed to
his father, had nothing to say about
the letter received from Dawson, but
stated in substance that in conse-
quence of declining health he
realized his mind was Civ
ing away, and rather than
run the risk of spending any part of his
days in the asylum, he preferred death
The pistol shot was heard by some
members of his family but nothing
was suspected. Sitting in the
buggy with a bullet hole through his
head, one eyeball suspended on his
cheek, the other bulging almost from
its socket, and covered with his own
blood and brains, his younger brother
found him about one hour after the
deed Thus he fingered, after being
carried home, for at least thirty-six
hours.
His father, Rev. Asa NJ. Marshall, is
a prominent Baptist divine. a good citi-
zen, and was a brave soldier in the
army.
The affair has cast a gloom over the
entire community, and a large con-
course of people from that part of the
assembled yesterday evening at
o'clock at Harmony Church, where he
was buried, to pay their last tribute
of respect to the dead.

Yesterday sixteen more were bap-

service, and they threw all the en-
thusiasm of two months practice into
the meeting. The preacher preached
with a voice of thunder. so loud, in
fact, that all the inhabitants of the
town, made up his audience, and with
that natural earnestness that carried
deep convictions to his immediate lis
teners. His congregation simply went
wild with religious excitement that
amounted to frenzy
Some of them went into frances,
many claimed to have received signs
and seen visions, and the meeting was
the scene of such religious excitement
as is rarely witnessed in this age of
