THE I ATE AU ATA TRAGEDY.
The Funeral Services Additional Facts as to the
Killing -Interesting Incidents and
Reminiscences.
Condensed from the Atlanta Constitution of 14th.
The; early trains vesterdav. mornincr
brought in a number of people from the
other cities of Georgia, who came to the
city to pay their last respects to Colonel
Alston. , It was very soon evident that
an immense crowd would go down to
the funeral.
It was universally remarked that no
death that ever marked Atlanta's re
cord with blood caused such widespread
sadness as this. It was a sad and mourn
ful crowd that boarded the train for
Decatur. Nothine but praises of the
dead man and sobs over his untimely
taking off could be heard. At the
church the vast crowd could not gam
admittance, and as the cortege approach
ed and the corhn was borne across the
sward there were hundreds who bent
their heads and gave way to their grief.
CARRYING "WEAPONS.
Alston never carried a pistol in hi3
lite. The poor fellow was all frankness
and -'"openness. He never had a murder
ous instinct or habit. The very pistol
that lie defended his life with was put
into his hands a few minutes before he
used it, and he never saw it before in his
life. The world will never know of the
infinite gentleness of that man's heart.
It was often mistaken for lack of cour
age. "Cox had bullied him into a thing
once before," said a DeKalb man, "and
he thought he could do it again !" Had
Alston never seen a pistol, it would not
have been different. His was a gentle
spirit, kindled into passion only after he
had been hunted down. And how he
died with a smile on his lips and for
giveness in his heart. And if that poor
dumb wound in his temple could voice
his dying wish, it would call aloud for
mercy to his slayer!
THE DINNER AT BERRON'i?.
There has been a mystery as to how
Alston came to leave Berron's restau
rant so quickly after he entered it. The
Governor left him at the door, and he
promised to go in and eat his dinner.
The Governor therefore felt that he had
lime in which to adjust the matter, as
he calculated that Alston would be at
dinner at least fifteen minutes. He saw
Cox enter the capitol, and felt then that
he had him where he could talk to him
before he met Alston. He went up
stairs and sent Nelms immediately after
Cox. His haste was simply from the
fear that Cox would get out of the capi
tol before he could see him. He never
dreamed but that Alston was quietly
eating dinner at Berron's, where he had
left him not more than three minutes
previously. AVhen he heard the shoot
ing, he thought Xelms had become em
broiled with Cox, and never thought of
Alston. It appears, however, that Al
ston followed him almost instantly to
the capitol, and met his death in less
than five minutes after he had acquaint
ed the Governor with the news of the
difficulty.
Mr. Berron says that Alston came in
the restaurant looking worried and pre
occupied. He walked up to the bar and
picked up a cracker out of the lunch
bowl. BeiTon asked him if he didn't
want something. "Nothing but this."
he said, throwing down a dollar bill. "I
don't charge you anything for that, col
onel," Berron said, and Alston walked
out. It is believed that he wished to
get where he would be convenient to
the conference he exacted the Governor
would arrange betwreen himself and
Cox. Being informed as he entered the
capitol that Cox was looking for him,
he slipped quietly into the treasurer's
office. He was followed almost imme
diately by Cox and the end came soon
after.
COUNTING ALSTON'S SHOTS.
All the accounts seem to agree in giv
ing to Ed. Cox great presence of mind
during the difficulty, which is at utter
variance with the theory that he was
intoxicated. Mr. Ren f roe says that he
never. saw a man dodge with such ad
dress and skill. He literally jumped out
of the bullets' way. At times he would
drop clear to the floor and spring side
ways for several feet. His agility and
quickness were wonderful. It is said
that he told Nelms that he counted ev
ery shot that Alston made, anti knew
that his pistol was empty, when he rose
to take his turn.
SYMPATHY FOR MRS. ALSTON.
A Erreat number of dispatches have
I ben receiyed tendering full and, prac
tical sympathy to Mrs. Alston, uenerai
Gordon telegraphed the Governor, "Tell
nerthat I am utterly crushed, and j'say
-that I will be a father to her children
l and a protector trj-her," and gave many
other messages. He telegraphed on yes
terdav to haye Bob sent on to Washing
ton as soon as possible. He intends to
take care of hiim
TIIE PROSECUTION.
It is understood that the prosecution
of Cox will not lag an instant. Messrs,
Houkins & Glenn. Mr. Howard Van
Epps, Mr. Patrick Calhoun, Colonel
Willis A. Hawkins, and Judge Samuel
Hall have been, we understand, retain
ed for the prosecution, it is generally
believed that the trial will come off
week after next, when the criminal
docket is opened. There is a very deep
interest felt in the progress of the case
A REMARKABLE INCIDENT

and out of that number I do notr think

expressed an opinion about this.trag-
elv. ,
It would be equally as difficult to find I
that many nave not suggested" a theory
as to how McGuire, the friend of Curtis,
should have acted to have saved the life
of his principal. You cannot walk half
a dozen blocks but you are stopped by
some one. The Curtis tragedy is brought
up. Before yon have an opportunity to.
exchange a donen words on the subject,
your friend suggests to you how Mc
Guire should have proceeded, and how
he, under the circumstances, would
have acted. Ah! what foresight w'e
all have when tpo late.
Mrs. (Jringan.xhe sister ot Mr. Curtis,
las been auite ill ever since the un
timely death of ker brother. She watch
ed at his bedside from the moment he
was brought irome until his remains
were moved from the house to the
church. She was so prostrated she
could not attend the funeral services.
Mr. Poindexter, it is said, has suffered
intensely since his confinement in jail.
t is rapidly telling on his health.
He has been under the treatment of
an eminent physician since his incarce
ration. His trouble seems to be ner
vous prostration, brought on, I sup
pose, by constantly meditating upon
the terrible work of that Monday
morning. Of course his confinement
greatly aggravates his physical trou
bles.
The grave of Curtis in Shockoe cem
etery is daily visited by a large number
of persons scarcely a day passes but
visitor to the cemetery who happens
in that portion of the groifnds in which
are deposited all there is of Curtis, will
not see a little group of people (all of
whom were people unknown to the de
ceased) standing beside the newly made
mound, telling each other in suppress
ed tones how he came to be beneath
their feet, instead of in the enjoyment
of life and health. This spot seems to
be especially attractive, as it is sacred,
to those of the gentle sex. I have heard
that it is not an uncommon sight to see
young girls standing beside this grave
in the afternoon and shed tears freely
over the untimely fate of the dead
boy.
The Two-Headed Woman and Her Adventures in
Europe.
Wilmington Sun."!
The only living and great American
double-headed woman passed through
the city the other day! on her way to
Columbus county, where she was born
and raised. She is none other than the
celebrated Columbus county two-head
ed colored woman, and is just home
from a trip to Europe. As it has been
so long since she has been -heard from.
there will be no harm m' saying a, few
words about her. If she were sitting in
a seat so that her body would not be
seen, one would suppose liex to be a pair
ot twins. She has two perfectly torm
ed necks and her ; heads are ; precisely
alike. A. strange tiung about her is
that pne mouth cant move- Unless the
other does, and when she gets to talk
ing any deaf man can hear "what she
says. Over in Europe she was received
wun as mucn russ as was uiysses
Grant, and had calls from crowned
heads. In Paris she was kidnapped and
taken to a ; medical ' university, where
the doctors were going to take:off one.
ot her heads, but she succeeded in mak
ing her escape by jumping out of a two
story window. iJiiring the rest of tuer
stay in Paris she was constantly under
tne protection or a policeman.
Her next adventure was at Heidel-
burg, where she was imprisoned in the
dungeon of a castle, and her keeper fed
her one week m the same mouth, and
never during the whole of that time
permitting a bite to. enter her other
mouth. This was an experiment, they
explained to her, to see if they couldn't
dry up her other head, and also to see
if one was dependent on the other for
its subsistence. The mouth that didn't
get anything to eat felt mighty hungry
while tha other was eating, Due as soon
as the meal was oVer the lranger sub
sided.
When she arrived in Italy she was
seized with .a. violent itoothache, and
went to a dentist fcaxhave .tiu& aching
tooth pulled.-a The midiile jaw tooin in

She was locked up in jail at Strasburg
for refusing to pay more than half of a
notel bill presented to her. Tne land
lord reasoned that as she would eat with
two mouths every day, she was worth
the price of two boarders, and charged
her accordingly. ;. The matter was
brought befdre a cohort, and the case go-

Her last trial was, 'tin the steamer, on
the return trip across the ocean. The
captain compiatned that it was incoiv
yenierit ; when she became seasick, and
exacted double - passage money trom
her. She h had many strange adven
tures, and expresses herself glad to be
again at her native home, where she in
tends to remain until one or both of
her heads die.
Gen. Johtioon Retires
...Genu Bradley T. Johnson has address
ed a letter to Gen. James (1. Field, the
attorney general of Virginia, in winch
he excuses himself from further parti
cipation in the Rives case as counsel
for the State. He bases his action on a
recent publication from the attorney
general, in which Gen. Field stated that
Gov. Holliday suggested' or requested
him to associate Gen. Johnson in the
case, partly to oblige a dear friend of
the latter and partly because such enx
proyment would be without cost to the
State. Gen. Johnson says he accepted
the invitation to go into the case in the)
belief that Judge Robertson and him
self were on the same footing, and that
no one was authorized in any way to
intimate or snggestttrat he would aet
without fee. He says that having of-f
f ered the resolution providing for the
appointment1 of associate1 counsel, he
would" have felt Dound to decline
compensation when tendered on that
ground alone,but that Was a matter sole

A Visage Rivalling in Yellowness
That of a "heathen Chinee," If belonging to one
of out race, can scarcely be described as attractive.
But Worse than this, It is the Index of a disordered
liver, of a liver that needs arousing and regulating.
The remedy is at band, prompt, efficacious. A
course of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters will expel the
misdirected bile from the blood and divert it into
the proper channel.open the bowels jemove the dys
peptic symptoms which. Invariably accompany bil
iousness and counteract the rapialy developing
tendency to dangerous congestion of the liver,
which must always exist when the skin and whites
L of the eyes assume this yellow hue. The pains
, through the right lower ribs, side and shoulder
blade, the nausea, furred state of the tongue, and
unpleasant breath which indicate liver complaint,
in short all its disagreeable concomitants are soon
remedied by this sovereign corrective, which in ad
dltlon to its regulaUng properties is a superb In
Ylgorant, and a pure and agreeable medicinal
sximuiant, appetizer ana nervine.

Good cheer Tor Consumptives.
There Is a form of consumption which was better
indicated by the old lashioned name or "decline."
It is the dreaded scourge of some parts of the
Southern States, claiming more victims every yesir
than are swept away by the most terrible visitations
oi tne yeuow lever, xne niaiaay arises irom tne
inability of the patients' system to take up and as
similate tne nourlsninE ingredients ol tne rood
that Is eaten. Some years ago the medical profes
sion with remarkable unanimity, agreed that Cod
Liver Oil contained Uie most concentrated and
easily absorbed elements of nutrition. If the nau
seous taste and smell of the oil could be avoided it
would unquestionably be the most sovereign reme
dy that ever shea a healing blessing on tne human
race. ; And these Tepulsrve properties are success
fully removed by the union of pure Cod Liver Oil
with the Hypophosphites of Lime and Soda in
Scott's Emulsion. The combination Is a most ele
gant one, pleasant as sweet milk In flavor, conge
nial to the stomach, and acting directly as a power
ful yet gentle tome of tne brain and nervous sys
tem. A Legitimate Triumph In Medicine.
Dread and despair fall upon the community
when a terrible ephlemks. like the cholera or yel
low fever, suddenly desolates our homes: yet, all
the while, a more insidious, but no less ratal foe
enters thousands of households every year and
carries off the flower of the family in the early flush
of manly youth and budding womanhood. People
all it consumption, or "decline." It is not. in
most cases, the tubercular phthisis or consumption
of the lungs, which is the peculiar malady In cli
mates like those of the British Islands and Mew
ngland, but a general decay or arrest of the vital
?rocesses of nutrition. All the doctors agree that
here is no remedy for this but Cod Liver Oft but
they are constantly met by the obstacle or Inability
on the part or tne patient to swaiiow or retain it,
This repulsion is entirely overcome by Scott's
Emulsion of the Oil with the Hypophosphites of
Lime ana soua wnicn is furreeaoie to tne taste. ana
an unequalled nutrient and tonic for the body nerve
