His Death Occurred at His Winter Homo, Near
Miami, Florida.

Miami, Fla, January 9.--Gen. John
b. Gordon died at his winter home at
Biscayne tonight, after being unconscious
nearly all day. The beginning of the
end occurred this afternoon, serious
complications setting in, and by night
physicians had abandoned all hope, as
his kidneys refused to secrete and ufamic
poison was very decided.
Gen. Gordon became i'll Wednesday af-
ternoon with acute indigestion. He had
suffered with the same trouble in Mis-
sissippi several months ago.
Gen. and Mrs. Gordon had been in
Florida this winter only about three
weeks before his death, His health had
been unusually good prior to his fatal at
tack. He had bought winter home at
Biscayne three years ago, and had since
been spending portion of his winters
there.
Gen. John Brown Gordon was born in
Upson county, Georgia, February 9, 1889.
He was educated at the University of
Georgia, studied law and was admitted
to the bar, but had practiced only short
time when he entered the Confederate
army. He raised regiment of cavalry
for the Confederate service, but as that
branch of the military force was not
then required he organized body of in
fantry, offered it to the Governor of his
State, and went into the field with his
troops, who received the nickname of
"Raccoon Roughs," all the men having
been raised on the Raccoon Mountain.

TugaIoo Observations.

Tugaloo, S. c., January 12.-Every
thing passed off very quietly Christmas
more like week of Sunday to us.
Everybody has gone to work as if de-
termined to make big crops this year.
We hear great deal of grumblng
about bad roads in the section of Center
township, near the river.
Some Of US are at q loss to know whe-
ther there is a Commissioners residing in
Center Township. If there is he must
keep himself concealed, as we don't
know of any one who has seen him this
side of Oakway. Our genial and clever
Supervisor was seen once in this commu-
nifty and his attention was called to a
bad and dangerous place in the road
just below the residence OF the late W.
III. Sheldon, and we regret to say the
same condition is still there. We hear
he gave orders to two parties to fix it,
the overseer of the road being one of
them. He told us he would have fixed
1t, but the other party told him he had
the job and thus it lies. Mr.. Supervisor,
please explain and please do have that

horse or something worse occurs.
We do sympathize with our dear old
friend Of Pickens. We have had grippe
nearly all winter, not so bad as he, for
we believe Gf we had the opportunity
we would relish an eggnog. Poor c., he
must be almost gone We have an idea
of where he suffers most, as we once told
NJ off fho L..
point.

We have FIVE children and have given II

Held Regular Monthly Meeting Yes
terday Afternoon.

The city board of health held their
regular monthly meeting yesterday
afternoon IN the mayors office. The
most important matter taken up was
the adoption of an ordinance by
the board which requires that all
plumbing shall be done under the
city's supervision and that the same
shall be inspected by a regular in
spectOr before being accepted by the
city. A special committee composed
Of DR.. A. H. HarrisS, Marcus jacob
and S. p. Adams, were appointed to
confer with the ordinance commit
tee Of the board Of aldermen in re-
gard to the passing of the ordinance.
1t is said there is possibly not an
other town the size of Wilmington
in the United States which has not
got an inspector to examine plumb
ing. This matter will probably be
acted on at the meeting of the board
Of aldermen Monday night.
The board also decided to notify
the people again in regard to filling
up all sinks and sess-pools. All OF
the pools must be filled up before
March 18th.
