state and people. He gave the best
energies of long and splendid ca
reer to the public. AS the moulder
of youthful minds. as legislator, as
chief executive, as publicist and as
preserver OF the records of our ia
theirs and as an advocate of civic
ideals and racial development, his
figure stood out as one of the no
blest and purest with which Geor-
gia has been blessed
His sympathies were with the
weak and lowly. His trust was in
God, to whose voice he was ever at
tentive and to whose divine will he
gave the best of his mind and heart.
His hope was in that reward which
is gained by unselflsh devotion to
eternal truths, a reward earned and
surely enjoyed by him. We find
recompense for our sorrow in the
lasting fruits of his work, not the
least of which is the enduring ex-
ample of a spotless life left to crown
his memory.
Therefore, T. Joseph NJ. Brown.
governor of said state, do issue this
my proclamation and direct that in
honor of the distinguished former
governor, now deceased, that the
flags on the capitol and other state
buildings be lowered and flown at
half mast during the next ten days:
that the rotunda of the capitol be
rendered the relatives of the de-
ceased for such period as they may
desire for the body to lie in state
therein, and that, If desired, a guard
Of honor be furnished by the adju-
tant general from the state militia
for same; that the capitol building
and the offices therein be closed
during the funeral, and that the
members Of the supreme court and
court of appeals and the heads of
the various departments assemble
in the governors office at such hour
as may be designated by those in
charge of the funeral for the pur-
pose Of attending the ceremonies as
an escort OF honor
In witness whereof l have affixed
my hand and the seal OF the execu-
tive department at this the capitol
in Atlanta, on this the 25th dav Of
March. in the year of our Lord one
thousand nine hundred and thir-
teen. JOSEPH NJ. BROWN.
Governor.

Two Narrowly EScape
Death as Locomotive
Crashes Into Motor
Attempting to Gross Tracks
Driver and Wife Are Dashed
From Car.

A badly smashed auto, piled against
the stone coping Of the Pryor street
undercut at the union station track cross
ing to-day, is mute testimony in the hair
breadth escape from death last night Of
T. o. Marks and his wife, IS Orange
street.
Marks. driving west in Pryor street,
was stopped at the crossing by fagman.
A cut OF cars stood on the tracks. After
waiting q minutes for a chance to cross
Marks finally saw an opening cranked
his car and started forward a moment
later
From behind passenger train stand
ing on the next to the last track a switch
engine puffed into sight. Before Marks
or the engineer could stop their vehicles
the auto had been struck, its front wheels
bent shapeless and the lights, radiator
and front wind shield demolished.
Marks and his wife were lifted bodily
from their machine when 1t reared on the
pilot of the switch engine, but miracu-
lousy escaped injury as the car settled
back into position after the impact.

Parents Victims
Of Indiana Storm

The home Of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Stoeckler. in Terre Haute, Ind, the
parents Of Mrs. Lewis 7. Miller. Of
Atlanta, was one of those destroyed by
the cyclone that devastated portions
OF Nebraska and Indiana Sunday
night Mrs Miller received a telegram
telling Of the destruction of her for
mer home, and left for Terre Hau;e
Immediately.
Little OF the details OF the storm
were given in the message received
by Mrs. Miller. The home OF her par
ents. 10 the residence district of Terre
Haute. was directly in the path Of the
storm, and within ten minutes after
the coming of the storm It was
wrecked. Both Mr.. and Mrs. Stoeckler
were thrown from their beds and forced
to crawl from under piles of wrecl1age,
but neither was injured.
1t is probable that Mrs. Miller will
bring her parents TO Atlanta 10 re-
cover from the effects of the storm,
and to stay until arrangements can
be made to rebuild their home

the debris that marks the path of the
disastrous tornado that struck this city
Sunday night. to-day dragged forth the
bodies Of fifty more victims. The to-
tai death list now. as It is prepared by
the officials, shows 902 recovered dead.
-Four hundred were injured
A heavy snow storm following in the
wake of the tornado that swept this city
hampered the work of the rescue par
ties that searched the ruins in the res
idential section
Bodies of the dead and injured still lie
buried In the ruins. Some Of those who
have been conducting the search say
that as many AS 100 are still wedged
under the fallen timbers and the mass
of rock and brick
During the night the work among the
ruins was pushed forward by lantern
light. The pickering lights moving
through the haze of falling snow pre-
scented a weird appearance to tine spec
tators who, drawn by curiosity, pushed
as close to the ruins as the soldiers
who stood on guard would let them.
The temperature fell rapidly during
the night and the work of search to-
day was hampered by the cold. Many
OF the volunteers who had been digging
about the ruins deserted before day
light and others were sent out about
dawn. They worked with increased
vigor, but the work was SLOW
