Death of Captain McLain
Yesterday evening at 6 o'clock Captain L.D. McLain, surrounded by loved
ones and friends, breathed his last at his home on Jackson street, after
an illness of scarcely a week, which was critical from the first.
Just past the prime of life in the vigor of activity, when another
score of years could have been allotted, the grim reaper Death, the hour
of whose coming we know not, silently and softly entered his home and
with an icy touch stilled the beatings of a noble and generous heart and
the earthly spirit with the closing of the day winged its flight to the
great beyond to sleep until the resurrection morn.
In the midst of luxury and having just married scarcely twelve months
ago, it seems hard that the summons should come, but the workings by God
is beyond the comprehension of man, who must bow in submission to His
will. To the bereaved widow and other loved ones we offer our deepest
and most heartfelt sympathies.
No one in Monroe has been more liberal and generous in benevolent
causes and to charitable institutions than Captain McLain. He was one
of the first to champion the cause of the Young Men's Christian
Association, making very liberal donations from time to time; was ever
ready to render assistance in all church undertakings and promote the
interest and welfare of his town, and his death will be keenly felt by
the community, to which he has always been so generous.

A FATAL ACCIDENT.
R.H. Hawley Killed Himself With a Small Rifle.
Delhi, March 2.-The entire community was shocked yesterday to learn
that R.H. Hawley had accidentally killed himself with a small rifle.
Dr. Wilkins, coroner viewed the remains and the verdict of the coroner's
jury was that the deceased came to his death by accident.
Just exactly how the unfortunate accident occurred will never be known
as the deceased never regained consciousness although he lived about an
hour.
Mr. Haley was 55 years of age and had lived in this community over
thirty years. He was descended from an old and distinguished
Mississippi family and was a nephew of the late Calvin H. Moore who held
a Federal position during the administration of President Cleveland.
Mr. Hawley was a Knight of Pythias and Mason and the remains will be
interred today by the Masonic fraternity.

SAD DEATH TODAY.
Mrs. Prentiss Atkins Passed Away After Long Illness
It was with expressions of deepest regret that the news of the death of
Mrs. Prentiss M. Atkins was heard this morning. The end came about
10:30 o'clock and in a very short while the sad news was known all over
the city. The death, which occurred in her father's home in West
Monroe, is a peculiarly sad one, sad to see a young woman in the very
bloom of life taken from her husband and little children, besides many
other close relatives. Mrs. Atkins has been in poor health for two
years or more and she was forced to spend most of her time at Asheville,
N.C., away from home and friends. She came home recently and steadily
grew worse until death relieved her of all suffering this morning. The
untimely taking away of this young wife and mother was a great shock to
her friends whom she numbered by her acquaintances. Most of them knew
of of (sic) her illness but few realized death was so near.
Mrs. Atkins was the daughter of Hon. And Mrs. Uriah Millsaps. She
leaves besides them, her husband, Prentiss M. Atkins; two bright little
girls, three sisters, Mrs. George G. Weaks, Mrs. Claude Youngblood and
Miss Aldina Millsaps; two brothers, Benton Millsaps and Herbert
Millsaps, besides many other relatives and a host of friends.
The funeral services will take place tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock
and will be held at the First Presbyterian church. Interment will be in
the city cemetery immediately following.

L.D. McLain were held at Grace Episcopal church, and were conducted by
Right Rev. Bishop Sessum of New Orleans, a warm personal friend of
Captain McLain, and Rev. H.R. Carson of Grace church.
Long before the hour announced for the services his palatial home on
Jackson street was crowded to its utmost capacity with his personal
friends and friends of the family, the members of the elks Club, of
which Captain McLain was an honored member, also attending in a body.
Just before the funeral cortege left for the church, over the flower
ladened casket, which held the remains of one at rest, surrounded by
loved ones and friends, Rev. H.R. Carson read the prayers for the dead,
after which followed by a large concourse of friends and citizens of
Monroe, the remains were borne to the church and me at the entrance by
Bishop Sessum and Rev. Mr. Carson, Bishop Sessums reading the prayers
for the dead. The choir sand the beautiful burial chants, after which
Rev. Mr. Carson read the 15th chapter of Paul's Epistle to the
Corinthians. Bishop Sessum closed the service with the beautiful burial
service of the Episcopal church. During the services the vested choir
sang softly and sweely (sic) "Peace, Perfect Peace," and "There is a
Perfect Home."
Then was borne the casket to the hearse, flower ladened with the
choicest of offeings, by the active pall bearers, Judge L.E. Hall,
Messrs Henry Bernstein, J.C. Harris, H.R. Speed, D.A. Breard, Jr., W.H.
DeGraffenreid, Jack Murphy, Fred W. Curry. At the cemetery the services
were concluded and on the most beautiful of spring days, all that was
mortal of Captain McLain was laid to rest, the Benevolent Order of Elks
conducting their services, which closed with a prayer by Bishop Sessums.
Thus was laid to rest one of the most prominent business men of Monroe
and North Louisiana. Prominent in the affairs of his town and prominent
and benevolent when calls for charitable or church work was presented,
to which he never failed to respond with a most generous and lavish
hand.
The floral offerings which were numerous handsome and beautiful,
attested the friendship and esteem that was borne Captain McLain by
friends at home and from a distance. Among the offerings was a
beautiful floral Elk head of violets and ferns from his home lodge No.
454. Also a most fragrantly beautiful offering of white roses and ferns
with soft tule streamers, bearing the card of the Monroe Chapter
Daughters of the Confederacy, to which he had always been so kind and
generous. The honorary pall bearers were: Dr. R.W. Faulk, Dr. Graham

Mrs. Prentis Atkins-At Rest.
Never was there a sadder death, or one to cast more loom over the
community than the passing away of Mrs. Prentis Atkins, the young wife
and mother, who beautiful in her frailty had been an invalid almost the
entire period of her married life, as it was in her happiest days, when
the world to her was bright and fair, and roses and sunshine should have
ordered her pathway through a long and happy life, that the dread
disease, consumption, marred the brightness of her life, and though
bouyant (sic) in spirits with hopes almost to the last, she lived, but
not contented, realizing the end was drawing to a close.
Having spent eighteen months or more at Asheville, N.C., Mrs. Atkins
felt there was no further benefit to be derived so by earnest request
returned to her girlhood home, the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Uriah Millsaps, of the West Side, where surrounded by loved ones, a
devoted husband, two sweet little daughters, all in the power of man was
done to check the inroads of the dread disease, and save the young life
bu all to no purpose, for our Heavenly Father had made the summons and
the call was answered on yesterday morning.
This evening at 3 o'clock the funeral services were conducted from the
Presbyterian church, a large concourse of sympathizing friends having
formed the cortege, following the remains from her home where had
gathered relatives and dear friends, bringing with them many beautiful
and fragrant floral tributes to the young life so early taken.
At the church the services were conducted by her pastor, Rev. Geo. D.
Booth, who read the impressive service, making selections from the 39
Psalm and I Corinthians, and saying the prayers for the dead.
During the service Mrs. Akins' favorite songs were sung, Mr. H.G.
Prophit, in a tender and most feeling manner, singing "The Holy City" to
which home the young spirit had been taken. The choir sang the
other-the little Sunday School anthem, "Will There Be Any Stars inMy
Crown?" frequently sung to the frail mother by her two little ones on
their return from Sabbath School. At the cemetery, Rev. Mr. Booth
concluded the commitment service with a most
beautiful prayer.
Many out of town relatives were in attendance at the funeral. The pall
bearers were Messrs. V.M. Lynch, P.H. Chauvin, A.L. Green, D.A. Beard,
P. Weaks, Percy Sandel.
The floral offerings were many and beautiful.

YOUNG BOY DROWNED.
Julian Waller of West Monroe Meets Untimely Death.
Julian Waller, the eleven-year old son of Mr. and Mrs. E.W. Waller of
West Monroe, was drowned in the river late Saturday afternoon. The sad
accident occurred on the West Side just below the traffic bridge.
Julian Waller, with two companions, Lisso Goodson and Hubert Parker, had
been gathering driftwood from the river and loading it on a small plank
boat. They overloaded the boat and it began sinking while out in the
river some distance. They called for help and at the same time tried
hard to reach shore, but the little boat went under when they were about
twent feet from the bank. Lisso Goodson and Hubert Parker swam out, but
Julian Waller, unable to swim, was drowned almost in the very sight of
help. Some time elapsed before the body was recovered. Two physicians
and loving friends did all they could possibly do to bring life back,
but to no avail.
Julian Waller was a bright boy and his untimely taking away was a great
shock to his friends and playmates. He was a member of Mr. I. Cowden's
Sunday school class and of the First Baptist church. Short services
were held at the home yesterday morning by Rev. J.U.H. Wharton, after
which the remains were placed on the train and carried to Haynesville

"RED" JORDAN DEAD.
Killed Himself in Charity Hospital at Shreveport.
Shreveport, March 14.-The Times today says:
Despondent over his condition, Charles Jordan, known to almost
everybody in Shreveport as "Red" Jordan, a former ball player and an
ex-member of the fire department, committed suicide in the Charity
Hospital yesterday morning by stabbing himself in the heart with a
knife.
Jordan was in the last stages of consumption. For many months he had
been out of work and was taken to the hospital Friday. He was placed in
the consumptive ward-and according to

Dr. Calloway, house surgeon of the institution, he would not have
survived a day longer if he had not ended his life.
He got hold of a pocket knife and plunged it into his heart. The blade
did not strike the organ itself, but penetrated to within a short
distance of it. The physicians rushed to him in a few seconds, but they
only managed to prolong his life a few hours.
He had no relatives here that are known of and the remains were
interred in the Patter's (sic) field yesterday afternoon at the expense
of the city.
Jordan had spent nearly all of his life here. He was yet a young man,
but ill health had reduced him to a stage where he could no longer work
and take care of himself.
In his better days he was a ball player, and had he stayed with it and
his health remained he would probably be playing with some of the big
leagues today, as he had considerable skill.
He was at different times connected with the fire department and has
worked as a bill poster. He also worked at the Grand Opera House and
other houses controlled by the Ehrlich brothers.

TOOK HIS OWN LIFE.
Prominent New Orleans Man Used Pistol on Himself
New Orleans, March 21.-Thomas J. Feibelman, member of the well known
mercantile
firm of E. Feilbleman & Sons, and president of the Globe Coffee &
Molasses Co., Ltd., sent a bullet through his brain in the lavatory in
the rear of his store No.531 South Peters streets this afternoon about 3
o'clock.
Feibleman was a man of about 48 or 49 years of age and a man of family.
He had been a sufferer from nervous prostration and it is supposed that
in a sudden fit of depression he ended his life. He went to lunch this
afternoon apparently in good health and spirits. When he returned he
immediately entered the lavatory.

No one in the store seems to have heard shots. The discovery a
Derringer pistol, with which the deed was done, lying out side the door
of the lavatory, led to the finding of the body.
His business associates say there was absolutely no reason other than
mental trouble due to his physical condition, that could account for the
suicide. Feibleman was highly successful in business and was well lik-
(sic) by those who knew him.
The ball entered the skull just above and behind the right ear.
Coroner O'Hara viewed the body and gave permission for its removal.

Has Relatives in Monroe.
Thomas J. Feibelman, mentioned in the above special to the Shreveport
Times from New Orleans, had several relatives in Monroe. He was a first
cousin of Mrs. Sig Marx and was distantly related to Messrs. Jake and
