been taking large quantities of chloral
sinee that time. Oa Sanday morning,
junt after he arose from bed, he asked
his wife for the bottle of ohloral, but
she refused to give it to him, saying
that he had had enough. Mr. Hall
then stated that he was going to kill
himself, and walked into the next room.
His wife followed him, but before she
eould reach him, he had pulled oat a
revolver and ahot himself in the back of
his head. Medical assistance was has
tily summoned, bat the woand was fatal,
Mr. Hall dying in half an hour after he
had fired the shot. Ever since his ill
neea, a month ago, Mr. Hall had been
more or less out of bis mind and
had threatened to kill himself several
times. All the fire arms had been sent
out of the house. Oa Saturday Mr.
Hall was up town and borrowed a pis
tol fr cm a friend stating that he was
troubled with rats at bis house and he
wanted to have some fun shooting them.
Mr. Hall wss a native of New York
city and had been living in Shelby for
four or five years. He was an enthusi

years of age and leaves a widow and
five children. , His remains were buried

WAfHiNGTON, Deo. 81. A spread of
fresh fallen snow covered the ground
this morning and the skies were over
cast and f ombre. At the Logan mansion
all preparations for the removal of the
dead statesman had been perfected dur
ing tbe night. The remains still lay in
the ohamber where the general died, but
had been plaoed in the casket, an elabor
ate receptacle, wbosd ' hermetic inner
oasing of copper was concealed by its
quilted lining of creamy satin, and
whose plate glass top not yet in position
was designed to reveal the entire length
of the form within. A rquare plate of
silver in the middle of the cover bears
the inscription, "John A. Logan,
United States Senator. Born February
Clth 182fi Tliol Ttwntir 9Ah 1SSA
Floral pillows with funeral legends,
crosses and anchors and other appropri
ate emblems were plaoed near the casket
and about the room .
At 11 o'clock the undertaker and his
assistants withdrew, when the immediate
family were summoned, and for a brief
tune they wereleft alone with their d?d
At an early hour this morning workmen
were busily engaged in draping the vast
rotunda or the capitol in mourning, and
in erecting the bier, upon which were to
rest the remains of the dead Senator.
Upon this bier have lain in atate Presi
dents Lincoln and Garfield, ehief justice
l hase and representative Tbr d Stevens
The heavy blaek drapery with which it
is covered, however, has been previously
used but en one occasion. It was found
in one of the Senate crypts, with an
inscription attached to it statisw that
it had covered the bier on which presi
dent Lincoln wss laid instate, aid it
was thought appropriate that it should
serve the same sad effice for another dia
tinguishe d son of Illinois.
The eon greraional committee took for
mal charge of the remains.the sergeant-at-arms
superintended the closing of
the easket and its alow and or
derly removal from the chamber
of death, down the broad stairway,
between the lines of the uncovered
escort u, d its placing in the hearse. The
fifes and unfiled drums sounded a salute
which merg-.d itaelf into "Nearer my

tor's carriage alcne, surrounded by pla
toons of Grand Army men in uni
form, and followed by a lorg procession
of carriages, moved slowly down the
hill ar d towards the Capitol.
WASHiHoroK, December 30th. As
early as 10 o'clock 500 persons
had assembled in the rotunda of the
capitol, although it waa not expected
that the remains of Senator Logan would
be laid in atate until 12.30 p. m. At
noon the crowd had swollen to 1,000
and patiently waited the arrival of the
funeral cortege which did not reach the
capitol until after half past one. The
interior of the vast dome was tastefully
draped; and upon the spot where many
who have made their mark in Amerioan
his troy have lain in state, rested the
bier prepared to receive the casket con
taining the remains of the dead senator.
As the furneral procession approaohed
the east front of the capitol, the doors
of the rotunda were opened and the as
semblage uncovered and stood in re
spectful silenoc. The eemmittec and
honoiary pall-bearers filed in, forming j
as they halted double lines, between
which the easket was borne to its place
of state. Then the pall-bearers retired
and the spectators were requested to
Withdraw. When at 'Z o'olock the doors
were again opened, the lid of the easket
had been removed. Military guards of
honor fully t uniformed and accoutred,
stood at rest at the head and foot and
on either side of the casket, while line?
of Grand Army men were drawn up
from door to door, between which the
people pasaed to view the remains.
Terrible Fate of a lrL
Ntw York, Deo. 80. A young Ital
ian girl named Latorre met with a hor
rible death on the elevated railroad this
morning. She wss upon a station plat
form accompanied by a sister, waiting
for a train. The girls were engaged
in lively conversation when one, turn
ing around, suddenly slipped of the
platform to the track in front of the
train which was but fifteen feet away.
The engineer did not aee. her, but
heard her saretm and reversed his en
gine instantly, but the tracks were slip
pery with ice and the front wheels and
one driving wheel had passed over the
body before the train stopped. The girl
waa crushed into a shapeless mass and
wedged between the driving wheels.
The body could not be reoovered with
out raising the engine After half an
hour's work, the engine was raised
enough to draw out the icdy. The
track in the meantime was blocked with
trains for over two miles to the tei mi
nus. Tlta Xxpreaa staabory.
St. Lotjis, Dec. 30. Robert Pinker
ton says all the accomplices in the rob
bery have boon eaptured. Five men
are under arrest and Mrs. Height. Be
ing asked if Fotheringham was guilty
hekreplied: "I am not ready to aay. I
prepared the evidenoe for the grand
jary and he was indioted. Draw your
own conclusion."
Oscar Cook made a confession yester
day, in whioh he stated that Fotherihg
ham know all about the plan to rob his
ear, and was a willing victim to the at
taek of the robbers. It is said he waa
promised $10,000 of the amount stolen
as his share of the booty, and thatsum
was part of the money whioh Fred wit
rock sent to his mother for safe keep
ing.
A special frcaa Kansas City states that
it was the intention of the eonspiratora
to rob the ear on the night of Oct. . 22.
and that the fi st "J'm Cemmings"
letter was written before that time and
dated on that dty. On that night, hew

We want to fulfil our promise, made
some weeks ago, of anting a letter
about the successful men here, who are
natives of North Carolina, but sinee D.
B. Walker has written ao well and so
eloquently about the Tar Heels and the
sons and daughters of Tar Heels in the
great Northwest, we have decided to
"give up the job." Not because our
people here are not worthy of as high
praise as ! any people that ever left
the old Etate, for Dr. Gaston, the lead
ing physician in this State, Hon. T. M.
Arrington, who has just been elected
jadge of b.3 city court of Montgomery
by an almoet unanimous vote of the
state senate; Colonel J M Arrington, of
the law firm of Amngton and Graham,
and many others that ve eould mention
are here; bat beeaase we, beirg only a
"brevet" correspondent, d not fejl
equal to the tsek of followirg where
the veteran Walker has; in so cirque it
a vein, exhausted the vocabulary of
era's?. All North Carolinians that we
htve met, love North Carolina. Aa il
lustrative of th e Colonel Ee-s of L?e
county, Au., a desoei d tntof thatDav'd
Beeae, who waa one of the signers of the
Mecklenburg deelaration, tel a na of an
incident that happened in Alabama,
years age; A North Carolina horae
owner who was ' taken very siok down
beie, on being infornred that he was
bcurd to die, ard asked by h's latd!o:d
if h a could do anything for him, an
ewered: 'Nothing; ex cp to look in
my stddle bags in the leu hand pocket,
and take that piper of North Carolina
dirt and sprinxle it in my grave when
they bury me."
Rev Sam Small ("Old Si.") preached
here last Sunday before the Alabama
j&pd.sJ.eonference. For that subtle
be surpassed any man we nave ever
heard. At his will, he made his audi
ence of grave Method si preachers cry
like chLdren or laugh like men at a eir
eus. We were sorry to see that Dr. Black
nail and that noble bottle of brardy that
George Washington gave h'm when he
passed through Kittrell's are to vanish
from the Tucl erhoufe, and believe that
his many friends i mug the traveling
men of the country, will look forward
with pleasure to the tint, when the doc
tor shall return to hotel life.
We might give seme eurious facts
about the great Southern boom, but
must reserve what wc have to aay on
that tubjeet for a future communication,
only stating now that the latest sensa
tion here is the eaae of a negro barber
who bought, yesrs ago, some poor land
near where the city of Birmingham -now
stands, for a mere song, and a few morn
ings ago awoke to the fact that his land
was worth $400,000. But there is no
bottom to all this thing. The reason
why we will give in our next.

Biehmond Dispatch.
Day before yesterday Mr. Willie CIu
verius mailed to members of the Gener
al Assembly a circular from thepriso
ner praying them to sign a petition to
the Governor to reprieve the prisoner
until the two houses meet. It was not
designed that the newspapers should
know anything of this matter for the
present, and to farther that purpose the
circulars have not yet been mailed to the
Biehmond members.
From what can be learned it ia net
expected of the general assembly to
take any action in the way of interfering
With the judgement ot the courts. . All
that is hoped of them is to adopt some
measure in effect requesting' the Gov
ernor to commute the death-Sentence to
imprisonment for life.

! The Senator leaves his family only
moderately provided for. The elegant
residenoe where j his remains now are
was purchased at a reasonable figure
and on long time. It ia not entirely
paid for. A few weeks before he was
taken ill atf insurance- agent proposed
that he take out a polioy on nis life.
The General was then in good health
and was rather amused at the idea of
preparing for death.' His eye was bright,
nis form eree his step firm, and hair
and moustache were coal black. Un
fortunately the; Senator's aversion to
having his life insured was not over
come by the persistent insurance agent,
and in consequence11 his widow will re
ceive no more than the benefits from the
investment in 0umet Place and a few
others, not so valuable, in the West.
