Attention is called by the Coal Trade Jour-
nal, In an elaborate article, to the fact th*t
the value of water as an aid to blasting, when
UFed in connection with explosives, is rapidly
becoming recrgnized in thi, country, as well
as in the larger mines and quarries of Europe.
Amotsg the favorable points psrtaining to this
procf bs special mention is made of the faat
tiiat the powder when exploding bursts the
tube containing the water, and—careful esti-
ma:>s showing—with Increased power or ex-
plosive violence; this is because the reniling
Icrce is exttndid through the water, in ac-
cordance with certain well known principles
of hydrostatics, over the enlarged interior
area of the bore hole, due to the apace occu-
pied 1 y the water tube. A much larger quan-
tity of the material to be mined or quarried is
thus brought down or loosened with a smaller
quantity of the explosive used. Again, th*
b<at given tif by the burning of the pjwder
and MiirourdlD/ gases converts a larger pro
portion Lf the water into steam, the elaitia
force of wl ieh assists in the operation of blast-
ing, tnd the Bteam and remaining water to-
gether extirguish the flames and Hash of the
pow dt r.

ful career by deatb, which ejccurred at bis
home in Washington, Ga. Early in October,
while in Washington, he felt that death was
upon him, and, bidding farewell to his friends,
told them that he was going home to die. A
couple of days later his mind was entirely de-
throned, and be has ever since imagined that
be waB fighting over the battles wblcb led to
secession. His family gathered close around
him and waited upon his slightest wish.
Last week a marked Improvement was
noticed in bim, bo much bo, that hopes were
entertained of his recovery. On the night of
Sunday, however, he suddenly relapsed. Dr.
G. H. Mulligan, bis pbysician, declared that
tbe end was at band. For two days he had
been in a comatose condition, unable to lift a
limb. His entire family of grandchildren
were called around his bedside at 5 o'clock
this evening and tearfully awaited the end,
which Dr. Mulligan declared to be near. At
6 o'clock the doctor placed bis ear to the gen-
eral's heart and it was still. " He is dead,"
said the doctor.
The arrangements for tbe funeral will be
made to morrow. The general's wife, who
was burled at the old family burying ground,
was disinterred to day, and will be buri vl by
the side of her husband in the Washington
turying ground.

Atlanta, Ga., December 15.—A special to
the Const tution from Washington, Ga , gives
tbe following account of the death-bed scene
of General Toombs:
Tbe last time that any attempt was made to
give bim anything was this morning, when
Mr. H. O. Coliey attempted to moisten his
throat with a wet towel, but the general was
too weak to stand it The last distinct words
spoken was on Sunday night, when, turning to
Mr. H. O. Coliey, his grandson in-iaw, he Bald:
" Lend me one hundred dollani "
Ob Monday morning he attempted to speak
to bis colored Bervant; Riley, bat his voice
was so weak bis words conld not be caught
All during to-day his room has been filled
with bis relatives and near friends, watohlng
by his side, expecting every moment to tee
him breathe hla life away.
Hour efter hour passed by, and he lay
breathing weaker each moment, until just as
the old clock in the court house struck out the
hour of 6, and at that very moment his soul
took its flight There were gathered around
Mm Mr. Gabriel Toombs, bis brother; Mr.
Henry Coliey and wife; Mr. Toombs Dubose;
Dudley Dubose; Miss Lulle Dubose; Mrs. Hun-
ter; Dr. Mulligan and Mr 8. R. Palmer.
One or two of the relatives, a few moments
before he died, went across the Btreet to eat
their supper,thinking th» general would proba-
bly hold out till U orlOo'elock, but before they
bad returned he was dead. His physicians say
that his death was perfectly painless.
His body now lies dressed for burial In the
west room of tbe main building of his dwell-
ing. All arrangements for tbe burial have
been left to Mr. Gabtiel Toombs, to whom the
deed general alwayB referred, when speaking
of bim, as " my brother." He will be burled
on Thursday at tbe cemetery In this place. The
tody of his Iote wife was removed from
tbe old Toombs boryinc-groundj, five miles
west of Washington, to-day, brought there and
deposited in the vault of W. VV. Simpson, an1
be* will be laid to rest with the one to waom,
wbeii he was alive, be attributed a great deal
of bis successful life. The Masonic fr»
tensity, of whom General Toomln
was an illustrious member, offerel
to take charge of the burial if the family did
not object It4as not yet been decided what
will be done in the matter. The family all
express tbe wish that the burial Bhall be with-
out any demonstration.
bketch of general toomb3.
Robert Toombs was born at Washington,
Ga , seventy-five years a»o, the 21: of la?t
July. His father died when he was ye: a
vourg boy, leaving him in good circumstances.
Bis collegiate training, began at the Univer-
tity of Georgia, wbs completed at th} Union
collegp, Schenectady, N. Y , where he was gra-
duated in 1828. When 19 years oil he attended
u'law course at tbe University of Virginia,
and in 1830 was admitted to the bar, by a spa-
tial set of bis native State, about a year be-
fc re he attained bis majority. He opened an
ofl'ce in his native county. In 1536 ho took
pait as a captain in a campaign against the
Creek Indians, beaded by General Scott and
cci.dteted in Alabama, in which he served
with distinction.
Socn ofter bis return homo he was elected to
tbe Georgia legislature, in which he continued
from 18S7 to 1840. He was re elected and took
6n active part in its proceedings during 184'3
and IMS. 'Ihe next year after this he was
elected to tbe United States Congress. He
supported Harrison for the presidency in 1840,
and Henry Clay in 1844 Mr. Toombs was u
member cf the House of Representative! at
Washington from bis first election to 1853,
vi he n he took his seat in the United States Sen-
ate. In 1850 be was re elected to that body,
nnd retired when Georgia seceded from the
Union.
His name was among the leaders of the
secessionists. After having acted as a dele-
gate in tbe confederate Congress held at Mont-
gomery, he became secretary of state in the
cabinet of Jefferson Davis, but soon ret rod
from this position to assume a military com-
mand, with the rank of brigadier general.
When General Sherman invaded Georgia,
Toombs, who had resigned his position in the
confederate army, served as general of the
state militia. The failure of the southern
cause led to his leaving the country,
to which he did not return until 1867,
having lived meanwhile in Cuba, Francs
and England. Upon reaching home he
resumed the practice of the law, by which
be amassed large wealth. He never asked for
tbe removal of his disabilities, and gloried In
being an unpardoned, unrepentant "rebel."
Tbe office held by him since the war was as
member of the Georgia Constitutional conven-
tion. Ab the Btate declined to pay the ex-
penses of the convention beyond the amount
appropriated. General Toombs advanced tbe
Bum needed, and trusted to the next legislature
to reimburse bim. The legislature did reim-
bure him soon after its assembling. The pre-
sent constitution of Georgia ii very largely
his handiwork. He fathered it, pushed it
through, and advocated its adoption before
the people. •
So prominent and energetic was Toombs In
tbe secession cause that there was talk at the
time Jefferson Davis was elected president of
the Confederacy of putting bim in tbe plac»,
but Davis had tbe most votes, and was accord-
ingly elected. The relations of the two men
weie far from being friendly. Wheu Davis
wrote his book about tbe war he wanted
Tcombs's photograph to put in it, and wrote
bim to this effect. Toombs refused to send it,
endafterwaid said he did not want his pic-
ture to go down to posterity in iuch company.
Tccmts said: " Davis and I never had any
eiuariel. I have nothing against him except
his follies. It would have bsen a
great deal better for him and the 8>utb
if bis history bad never been written,
end the bulk of the people South pity Davis
rather than admire him. His chief trouble
was end is that he bas an exalted idea of his
own importance. He has Bome ability, but no
nerve, and be has not the slightest capacity
for managing men." Toombs's opinion of Gen
ersl I.ee was not at all a flattering one. While
in tbe army he was a brave soldier, but was
i,]roost constantly in conflict with his superior
officers.
General Toombs was the most eminent law-
yer in Georgia, and throughout life was very
jcpular with tbe people of his State. Hie na-
ture wfis in tbe main refined, and in g oeral
culture he was far advanced. Few men have
equftled bim as a conversationalist. His
n i,tked pcctiliaiities of disposition, uotably
his great pride and the strength of bis convic-
tions, were associated with u vast fund of in-
formation, a rich exmmand ot language, and
an impressive eloquence. Both in p'ivato and
I ublic life Robert l°oombi has be^n a striking
ard een rrsndirg figure.
L'uiirg tbe last few years of his lifa Mr.
Toombs has been nearly blind and sadly alone
in the world, his wife and children being
dead. A short time ago he was received into
tbe membership of tbe Methodist Episcopal
Church South, tbe denomination for which be
stems to have entertained a preference for
many years before. He had had, happily,
more than a sufficiency of money to procure
him every comfort, bis estate being worth at
leaBt $250,000.
General Toomts retired from active prac-
tice at the bar several years ago, though he
appeared in court from time to time In special
cases up to a year ago. He owned considera-
ble property lu northwest Texas, mostly in
lands, tbe enhancing of the value of which
tlnce be purchased ic added very materially
to his wealth Toombs was the last of tbe
groat Georgians.

[To The News.l
Ha ckenback, N. J., Docember 9,1885.—On
November 26 I sent a letter to Mr. John P.
Hopkins's printing office, 22 Commercial place,
New Orleans, La., in which I gave bim a de-
scription of the weather for the month ot De-
cember for the west gulf States, and I dis-
tinctly stated that between the 3d and 6th a
destructive cyclone would Btrike the coast of
Texas. 1 merely mention this facf so that If
any of your readers doubt my statement they
can find the facts by sending a Hue to the
above gentleman, who has paid for the
article. Now, sir, tho science ot fore-
casting the weather belongs to the science of
astronomy,and our government might establish
a signal station on every high hill throughout
the United States, and supply them with every
scientific instrument known to the scientific
world, and yet, if it were to Bave their souls
from perdition, they would not be able to fore-
cast tbe weather beyond forty-eight hours, for
the simple reason that our weather descends
from tbe heavens above, and can not ba seen
until it. arrives. When a man finds his vessel
is being torn to pieces by a fierce gale, it is of
very little consolation to bo told that he is In
a cy clone. But if be could bave bad that cy-
clone mapped out for him a month or evon a
»eek before, he would not have been caught
in it. I can not describe my system in a short
newspaper article, but all scientists know that
tbe torrid zone remains stationary with the
sun. Tbe fact that it changes its position
north and south of the equator is due to tbe
movement of the earth as it travels
around in its oibit. I have discovered
that the belt of tornadoes and cyclones
lemairs an equal distance from the torrid
zone tbe entire year, and as the earth swings
northward from the 22d of June to the 231 ot
Dtctmber, Bit we bave to do Is to follow them
up You will remember that we had them
itst July here in New Jersey, and now you
h»v(» rhe-en in southern Texas. Tbey oc;upy a
belt 1000 miles wide, extending around tbe
world, and move southward 550 miles per
month. Tbis belt will continue to move south-
ward till tbe 22d of December, when we will
reach the northern solstice; then this same
belt will move at the same rateof speed north
ward. The next severe cyclone will occur
about 400 miles south ot Galveston, between
tbe 1st and the 3d of January, 1S86; and tbe
second one will occur very close to Galveston
betw.en the 1st nnd 3d of February next.
During both of these periods it will be very
cold throughout Texas, and your cattlemen
should mske preparations to protect their
stock. Very respectfully, A. J. Da Voe,
Meteorologist.
The Merchant Traveler says: A rich old
farmer, whose daughter is in a Chicago

of the prisoners were convicted at the lait

Osborne Hunt, negroes They had appealed
their cases. Johnson's case was affirmed by
the appellate court last week, and the prison-
er was awaiting transportation to the peniten-
tiary when be made his escape. Hunt refuaed
to leave the jail. All the prisoners escaping
were negroes. The prisoners were let out of tho
iron cells every morning, and allowed the
privilege of the run-around or alley way sur-
rounding the Iron cage during tbe day, whan
tbey usually hung their blankets on the iron
gratings of tbe outside windows to air them.
By some means they got bold of some kind of

bars of a window and one end of another bar,
and then bent it, making an opening. They
then tied their blankets together, and let them-
selves down eighteen feet to tbe ground. They
had been gone some time before they were
missed, and had a good start of the officers.
