-~-: IN THE TOILS IN ATLANTA./' Young Woman and Sister Go Prepar ed for the "Wild and Woolly." (Atlanta Georgian, 29th.) Pretty 20-j ear-old Gatha Train men had heard many wild stories ot the daily crime and wickedness of Atlanta, and so when lifo in the mountains becanie too dull for her and she decided to brave the dangers and invade this great city with her ? 8-year-old sister, Katie, she armed herself with a revolver and a plenti ful supply of cartridges. The two girls live in the gold min ing district, 20 miles from Gaines ville, and landed in the Terminal sta tion late Wednesday afternoon on Southern passenger train No. 38 from Washington. Ttey are now held at the police station In care of Mrs. Bohnefeld, the matron, until commu nication can be had with their par ents. When the revolver and cartridges were found in Miss Gatha's purse, she said: "Neither my sister nor myself had ever been in Atlanta before, and, as I had heard so many stories about how people were killed and butcher ed and robbed here I determined to protect myself as best I could. "I didn't know but that as soon as I stepped out of the depot I would be knocked down in the street and robbed or carried off somewhere and killed. And so I just put this gun in my pnrse, where it would be handy. 1 didn't Intend to shoot any one un less Borne attempt was mad*e to harm my sister or myself. 1 had always heard, however, that the people In Atlairn didn't have any regard for anybody, particularly country peo ple, a'id that they had as soon knock you down in the street as look at you. Well, I just want to say that th? first person who tries to hurt me will cet the worst, ot it." Girl ls a Crack Shot. And the big, strong mountain girl meant just what she said. There was no doubt of lt. She told of how she had been taught to handle a pistol in the country, and lt. was evident she is a crack shot. When informed that the stories she had heard were exaggerations, abe expressed much surprise.' The girls had grown weary of the life in the wilds of the mountains and the mines and came to Atlanta, at tracted by the glare and glitter of city life. They both expressed a de sire to become trained nurses and said they thought it would be easy for them to get into this profession. Lively Incident on Train.

Vicksburg, Miss., May 28.-Gen. Stephen D. Lee, the last susviving lieutenant general of the Confede rate army, died this morning at his home here after an Illness of seven weeks., ? Gon.. Lee was commander-in-chief of the United Confederate Veterans, and was the most popular of all the old Confederato officers of the South. Since the war he had been giving all his time to the upbuilding of the State. He was president of the State Agricultural and Industrial College, and alBo had large\ planting inter ests in the State. His interesting personality had made for him-warm friends all over the nation. A favorite saying with him was that no soldier of the Lost Cause, which Gen. Lee always be lieved ta, be right, need ever hang his head with shame. "The keeping alive-of the old Confederate sol diers." he said just a few hours be fore his death, "is a trust that should be sacred to the sons of veterans." Sketch of His Life. Gen. Stephen D. Lee was born at Charleston, September 23, 1833. of patriotic lineage. His great-grand father, Wm. Lee, was one of the forty leading citizens of Charleston, whose devotion tb the continental cause was punished by imprisonment on a prison ship and transportation to St. Augustine, Fla. His grand father. Thomas Lee, was appointed United States District Judge by Pre sident Monroe. Gen. Lee was ap pointed to the West Point Military Academy In ISfiO, and wa*? gradu ated in the class of 1854, in the I class with J. E. B. Stewart, O. O. ' Howard, Custis Lee, Pender a.id Pe gram. He served with the Fourth United States Artillery, and held the rank of first lieutenant and regimen tal quartermaster when he resigned in 1861. He was appointed captain in the South Carolina organization, and later captain in the regular army of the Confederate army, and assign ed to duty as aide to Gen. Beaure gard. With Capt. Chestnut, a bro ther officer, he bore the summons to Major Anderson for the surrender of Fort Sumter, and gave the subse quent notice of the opening of the bombardment. After the surrender of Fort Suin ter he went to Virginia and joined Lee's army, and there his rise was rapid and brilliant. He was repeat edly complimented by his superior officers, and promotion often came. He was a colonel at Sharpsburg and Second Manassas, and was made a brigadier general in November, 1862, and assigned to the commnnd of Vicksburg. He was promoted to Ma. jor General in 1863, and put in charge of all the cavalry in the west, and after this all of his service was in the west. He was regarded as a capable and daring oincer In every emergency. If one1 feels dull and spiritless in the spring or early summer they call it "Spring Fever." But there is no fever-usually, it is the after effect of our winter habits. The nerves are mostly at fault. Tired, worn-out nerves leave us lauguid, lifeless, and without spirit or ambition. A few doses of Dr. Shoop's Restorative will absolutely nud quickly change all of these depressing symptoms. The Re storative, of course, won't bring you back td full health in a day or two, but it will do enough in 4 8 hours to satisfy you that the remedy is reach ing that "tired spot." Druggists everywhere are advising its use as a splendid and prompt general tonic. It gives moro vim and more spirit to the spoonful than any other known nerve or constitutional tonic. It sharpens a falling appetite, aids di gestion, frees sluggish livers and kidneys, and brings new life, strength and ambition. Test it a few days and be convinced. ^_ J. W. Bell. The Hame Old Gag.

Lisbon, May 29*-The royal house hold of Portugal is being besieged by . its creditors, and the newspapers of Lisbon are Ailed with the notices of suits brought by trades-people against its members. The courts al ready have awarded a butcher $210' and costs, the amount of an unpaid meat bill against dowager Queen Ma ria Pia and the Duke of Oporto. This situation arises from the fact that there are members of the royal household who have not received a single penny from the State since King Carlos and bis son were assas sinated on the streets of this city nearly,four months ago, because the new civil list cannot be approved until after the financial accounting of the reign of the late King Carlos ls completed. This accounting ls held up by threatened revelations from Senor Carvalho, who WSB Min ister of Finance under Ex-Pr?mier Franco, regarding moneys which went to members o' the present gov ernment. Alfonso Costa, the Republican lea der has publicly proclaimed his readi ness, if' the government sincerely de sires it, to go to the bottom of the regicide plot and furnish the names of the Monarchist politicians impli cated.

Union, May 27.-A special from Reidviile this morning says that Rev. C. A. B. Jennings, pastor of a group of Presbyterian churches there, and who has hosts of friends throughout South Carolina, was drowned at Ber ry Shoals, below Tucapau Mills, on Tyger river, Monday afternoon, while seiniug with a companion, Dr. C. D. Leonard, and his body wfes recover ed this morning about 8 o'clock, though at noon to-day, Dr. Leonard's remal'.d have not been found. Yesterday afternoon Mr. Jennings and his three young daughters, the eldest of whom ls about fifteen years old, together with Dr. and Mrs. Leo nard and their two children, went for a little private picnic at Berry shoals, about two and one-half miles from ReidviUe. Shortly after their arrival at Berry Shoals Mr. Jennings and Dr. Leonard went in seining. About 4 o'clock Mrs. Leonard and the girls, seeing a storm approaching, called to the gentlemen who were a short dist ance down the river, that tney had better come ashore, as a rain was coming. Receiving no answer they called again and again, and finally having no response, went quickly to a neighbor's nearby the river, and summoned assistance. A searching party was then organized, as it was feared that something serious had happened. All search proved una vailing and the men then secured grappling hooks and dragged the river, continuing far Into the night, and early this morning efforln to find the bodies were resumed. Finally, about 8 o'clock, a quarter of a mile down the river from where Mr. Jen nings and Dr. Leonard had gone in seining, an expert swimmer in div ing found the body of Mr. Jennings In about fifteen feet of water; The body was standing upright and the hands were tightly clinched as if in desperation at the distressing plight he found himself In with no hope of rescue. From the position of the body and other evidences, lt is the supposition that pr. Leonard became entangled in the meshes of the seine, and that in his struggles, when Mr. Jennings went to his rescue, Mr. Jen nings was drawn beneath the surface of the water and remained submerged so long as to lose bis life. After the body of Mr. Jennings was recovered search for the body of Dr. Leonard was continued, but up to noon to-day, without avail. Mr. Jennings wat? extremely popu lar as pastor and man and the whole community, in and around Reldville, is terribly shocked and greatly dis tressed at this sudden and tragic cutting off of a useful career. The funeral was held at Clinton and his remains laid io rest beside those of his brothers, Rev. F. Cornwall Jen nings and Dr. J. Mac. Jennings, who died respectively just fifteen months and two and a half years ago. A Lesson in Health.
