LOSS OF LIFE REPORTED HEAVY Towns of Columbia, LaGrange and Lavergne, in Tennessee, and Others In Mississippi Badly Wrecked. Tuesday afternoon a tornado bounding through a narrow stretch of territory extending from a point three miles north of Lula, Miss., to LaGrange, Tenn., caused a heavy loss of life and property. The storm so completely interrupted telephone and telegraphic communications that neither the origin nor the end could be ascertained at once, nor could the extent of the disaster be learned. From the mpager details obtainable, covering only three points, it appears that nineteen lives were lost and the destruction of property was also very heavy. It is believed that in the cyclone's sweep between the towns heard from numerous farm houses and interior communities of more or less considerable population were struck, and these being cut off from the outside were unable to give notice of their distress. Accompanying the tornado was a rain-form of terrific proportions. The tornado struck the town of LaGrange, Tenn., forty-nine miles east of Memphis, on the Southern railway, in Fayette county, at 4:50 o'clock, and a result not a church in the town is left standing except the Episcopal. The streets are littered with the debris of destroyed buildings, merchandise, telegraph and telephone wires and poles. Several persons are dead and wounded. A long distance telephone message from Columbin, Tenn., says: "A terrific cyclone, moving in a westerly and northwesterly direction, struck this place at 9:30 o'clock Tuesday night and left havoe in its path. "The northern and western sections of this city, which are populated principally by negroes, were almost entirely swept away. Fifteen persons are known to have been killed and it is feared that this number will be largely increased by later reports. The cyclone lasted for about five minutes and its path extended about one thousand feet wide, which is clearly marked by devastation. Many houses, including a large number of negro cabins, were blown down, and many others unroofed and otherwise damaged. The fence surrounding the United States arsenal was blown away, but the building still remains intact. A freight train on the Nashville, Florence and Sheffield railway was lifted from the track, but as far as reported none of the passengers or the crew were injured. The cyclone was accompanied and followed by a heavy rain storm, with terrific lightning and thunder, which greatly retarded the work of relief, which was immediately begun by the citizens. In north Mississippi the tornado caused loss of life and much property damage. Reports from Lula, Tunica county, state that three negroes were killed, their dead bodies having been carried a distance of three miles by the wind. Many buildings were razed to the ground and damage to crops was not now be estimated. Meager reports from towns along the line of the Illinois Central railroad in north Mississippi state that the tornado wrought much havoc. Thirteen persons are reported killed between Love Station and Coldwater. The tornado made its appearance at about 8:30 o'clock and swept everything in its path. Trees were uprooted and fences and outhouses were leveled to the ground. Telegraph and telephone wires are down and details are lacking. The Nashville and Chattanooga depot and eighteen other houses were demolished by the tornado at Lavergne, station on the Nashville and Chattanooga railroad ninety-six miles south of Nashville. FAYOR NEW CONSTITUTION. Committee of Georgia Legislature Recommend Passage of Bill. The committee of the Georgia state senate on constitutional amendments has unanimously agreed to recommend the passage of the Ellis bill providing for a convention to draft a new state constitution. If the bill goes through both houses the convention will be held next July. Changes Voting Time. The Georgia house of representatives passed the bill to allow the most country prescincts to be kept in the same hours as those at the courthouse. GERMANY IS MODEST. A Berlin special dispatch says: In the Reichstag Monday, on the occasion of the presentation of the supplementary credit for China, Count Von Buelow, the imperial chancellor, emphatically denied the assertion frequently made abroad that the China embroglio was traceable to the German occupation of Kiao Chon. This statement was greeted by the social democrats with loud cries of "It is quite true!" Count Von Buelow expressed keen regret that such a cry should be heard in the German parliament. The chancellor further declared that he did not wish at present to say anything which might be prejudicial to the common objects of the powers in China, but he felt the need of placing himself in touch with the nation. Germany, he explained, had adhered to the aims and policy outlined in the circular to the allied governments. The allegation that the government had not foreseen the Chinese crisis was true. But most of the other nations likewise failed to anticipate that the storm in the far east would burst so violently or so soon. "But," added Count Von Buelow, "the premonitory signs did not escape us. We directed the attention of the other cabinets repeatedly to these signs. We at once agreed to everything our representative in China described as necessary to take as a measure of precaution and despatched a force, offering even more than asked for. I wish to reproach no one, least of all Baron Von Ketteler, who in endeavouring most earnestly, in the fulfillment of his duty, to bring the chief Chinese authorities to reason, went, almost without fear, to his death, worthy of the land he represented and the name he bore." Continuing, Count Von Buelow said: "In the face of the Chinese attitude we had to take the necessary measures for the protection of our rights and the defense of our honor. The other powers were in the same position and all the civilized people alike were compelled to act in self-defense. A dispassionate observer cannot doubt that the recent movement is traced neither to Kiao Chou, Hong Kong, Tonquin nor Port Arthur. It is directed against European civilization, with which Japan has thrown in her lot. What Germans desire is not a political adventure, but the assertion of our interests, our rights and our honor as a great people. "We are, waging no war of conquest on China. We only wish for atonement for Chinese misdeeds and a guarantee of reforms. We especially desire atonement, since otherwise such things might occur again. We desire the influence accruing to Germany in the present movement shall be preserved to her. We desire our share in what is to be won from China. We will not overreach any one and we will not let any one overreach us. "We have nothing to gain by a partition of China and do not desire it. We shall fare best if China recovers herself, so far as possible, under the best ordered administration obtainable, and remains solvent. We wish to confine ourselves to our present position and will not shake China unnecessarily. We have no reason for going beyond the convention of August 3, 1898, or strive for territorial acquisition which will place a disproportionate strain upon our resources." WAR SECRETARY IN CUBA. With General Wood He Inspects Morro Castle and Troops. Secretary Root and General Wood Monday morning inspected the Morro barracks and the garrison at Santiago. Mr. Root expressed himself as very much pleased with the condition of the post and the appearance of the soldiers. The party visited the San Juan battlefield and later rode over the new government highway. This thoroughfare, is probably one of the finest in the world. Tampa Strike Not Settled. Up to Monday night the situation in the labor troubles in Tampa, Fla., between the organizations in the cigar trade remained unchanged. No settlement of the difficulties has yet been reached and the laborers are generally in an unsettled state of mind. STOCKHOLDERS OF COAST LINE. Hold Annual Meeting at General Offices of the Company In Richmond. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad company was held at the general offices of the company in Richmond, Va., Monday. President Elliott's report says the gross earnings and receipts from all sources for the year were $717,758.15, and of this amount $716,744.16 was received from department roads and other sources. The CASHIER LOOTS BANK Institution at Newport, Kentuoky, Foread to Close Up. BANK EXAMINER TAKES FULL, CHARGE Women, Wine and Gambling Caused Frank M. Brown to Swipe Over. Two Hundred Thousand. A Cincinnati special says; United States Bank Examiner Tucker took possession of the German National bank, at Newport, Ky., Sunday and posted a notice that the bank would remain closed pending an examination. Examiner Tucker also announced unofficially that Frank M. Brown, the individual bookkeeper and assistant cashier, was missing and that a partial investigation showed that Brown was short about $201,000. Brown had been with the bank eighteen years, was one of the most trusted men ever connected with the old bank, and it is stated by the experts that his operations extend back as far as ten years. The capital stock of the bank is only $100,000. Brown's alleged shortage is double that amount, and more than the reserve and all the assets, including the real estate. While Alvord got away with $700,000 in New York, he did it in a large bank, but Brown did not have so much to go on, and seems to have gone the full limit for a small bank in a city of less than 30,000 inhabitants. The First National bank of Newport was wrecked two years ago by Cashier Youtsey, and now, with the German National closed, Newport has only one bank left. For two weeks there have been rumors that Brown was short and some depositors withdrew their accounts. Three weeks ago the bank examiners made a good statement for the bank and the officers and directors allayed suspicion by referring to the report of this examination and to their last statement. Last Wednesday Brown left, and it was announced that he had gone hunting on a vacation. He did get a ticket for Odin, Ills., but it is learned that he did not go there, and it is generally believed that he is out of this country with plenty of money in his possession. The alleged shortage caused a panic in Newport Sunday, so that the bank had to be taken in charge by the examiner. Brown, it is alleged, was living a fast life with wine, women and gambling. His career was not cut short by any discovery at the bank till a jealous woman gave him away. The only farewell letter that Brown is known to have left was to this woman, whose apartments are on Ninth street, in Cincinnati, and in this letter he admits that he had secured about all that he could get and that the time had come to say farewell. Brown was a great poker player, with the limit, it is said, never too high and he had been a plunger on horse races for years. His bets on the horses, it is alleged, were frequently too high for the poolrooms in Covington, Ky., and he had brokers in both Chicago and New York. The offices of the bank are all wealthy and responsible men, and they will be able to make the losses good. There are about 1,500 depositors in the institution, among them being nine building associations that have the savings of many people. Brown wrote to the Cincinnati woman that he was bound for South America, but The Enquirer says that it has good authority that Brown sailed from New York Saturday and that his destination is China. GOVERNOR HAS BILLS. Alabama Legislature Passes Governship "Succession" Measures. The Alabama senate, Saturday, passed house bills Nos. 1 and 2, which provided respectively that the president of the senate should succeed in the event of the death of the governor-elect; and that the governor-elect might take the oath of office otherwise than in the presence of the general assembly. As soon as these bills passed the senate they were enrolled and signed by the presiding officers of the two houses, after which they were sent to the office of the governor to await his signature. LUMBER MEN TO COMBINE. Iammoth Consolidation Scheme Is Under Way With Promise of Success. A Baltimore dispatch says: A mam moth consolidation of lumber companies will probably be announced within a week or ten days. Fourteen companies at least are to be included in the combination if the plans do not miscairy and several others, making, perhaps, a total of twenty, are expected to be added. It is understood that all the capital necessary to GROWERS OF COTTON Meet In Macon and Thoroughly Discuss the Stapl. INTERESTING ADDRESSES ARE MADE Committee Reports In Favor of Forming an Inter-State Association—Next Meeting In Atlanta. The interstate convention of southern cotton growers, called by the Georgia Cotton-Growers' Protective Association, assembled in Macon Tuesday. Two sessions were held during the day. The principal addresses were by Hon. Hoke Smith, on "The Cotton Product;" Mr. J. F. Dargan, of Atlanta, on the "Insurance of Cotton; Especially Its Relation to the Grower," and by Hon. S. Pope Brown, on "Cotton Problems." The convention was called to order by President Harvie Jordan, of the Georgia association, and he was subsequently made permanent chairman. Mr. Samuel Barron, of Jones county, was made permanent secretary. An executive committee consisting of Messra. Allison, Whittaker and Cameron, of North Carolina, re-enforced by Messra. Smith, of Fulton county; Longley, of Troup; Campbell, of Jasper, and Peek, of Rockdale, was appointed to make a report as to the organization of an interstate association. A committee was appointed to report upon the advisability of creating an office of statistical reports by the state. This committee was composed of Messrs. Longley, of Troup; Wray, of Jasper; Lawson, of Pntnam; Cobb, of Sumter, and Jordan, of Jasper, but the committee subsequently reported that Judge Longley had concluded to withdraw his proposition, and no action was taken. At the afternoon session the executive committee reported, through Mr. Hoke Smith, the recommendation that an interstate association be organized by a committee consisting of three members from each of the cotton growing states, these to adopt a constitution and by-laws, and that the chairman and secretary of the convention be empowered to call this committee into session at some convenient point and to arrange for the appointment of the state representatives. The recommendations were adopted and in this way the interstate association will be brought into being. It was then agreed that when this committee, representing the states, shall be called into session the meeting place should be Atlanta. NOT SATISFACTORY TO US. Game of the Powers Regarding China Is Disappointing. A Washington special says: The Chinese situation was the main topic under consideration at Tuesday's cabinet meeting. The administration is not disposed to join with the other movements in making demands upon the Chinese imperial authorities which the Chinese government cannot comply with. So far as our government is advised, the foreign ministers at Pckin have not yet agreed upon all points under discussion. Mr. Conger has reported from time to time the various propositions under consideration, but he has not yet indicated that the end is at hand or that anything in the nature of an agreement has been reached which is to serve as a basis for negotiations with the Chinese authorities. Mr. Conger has not, however, been heard from for a week. RURAL FREE DELIVERY Is Earnest Plea of Assistant Postmaster General Johnson In His Report. An enthusiastic plea for a wide expansion of rural free delivery is made in the annual report of W. M. Johnson, first assistant postmaster general. He says that the extraordinary development of this system during the past twelve months under the stimulus of appropriations of $450,000 for the fiscal year 1899-1900, and $1,750,000 for the fiscal year 1900-1, is conclusive as showing that hereafter it must be a permanent and expanding feature of the postal administration. GEN. LEE GOES TO OMAHA. Will Take Immediate Command of the Department of Missouri, General Fitzhugh, Lee, who arrived at New York Tuesday from Cuba, will stay in the city for three or four days. After reporting at Washington he will Subscription: $1.25 Per Annum; 750 for Six Months, 50c for Three Months; Single Copies 5c. In Advance. Crazy Woman Attempts to Assassinate German Emperor By Unique Method. A news special from Breslau, Germany says: Emperor William was the object of an attempted onrage Friday, which, however, failed. As he was driving in an open carriage to the Cuirassier barracks, accompanied by the hereditary prince of Saxe-Meiningen, a woman in the crowd hurled and axe at the carriage. The rapidity with which the vehicle was passing saved its occupants. The axe or hatchet, fell just behind the carriage. The woman was immediately arrested. The missile, it developed later, was a short hand-counter. The woman's name is Selma Schnapke, and she is believed to be insane. She occupied a place in the front rank of the spectators, on the side furtherest from the emperor. The hatchet, it appears, struck the carriage. A crowd of people who witnessed the act said the outraged crew threw themselves on his majesty's assailant, but the prompt intervention of the police saved the woman from injury. According to most reports, Emperor William did not notice the incident, but the Breslan Schlesische Morgan Zeitung says he saw what had happened and turned very pale, but continued to greet the bystanders pleasantly. The entire Breslau garrison was immediately alarmed and drawn up in line on both sides of the route which the emperor took in returning from the barracks to the depot after lunch-eon. The news of the attempt on the kaiser created a great sensation in Berlin. It was first reported on the bourse, where the market weakened. The evening papers printed the details in bold type. The accounts agreed that the woman is demented. It seems' that she appeared Friday morning in the Breslau court in lunacy proceedings. While the attack upon the kaiser may not have formed any part of an international plot, there is no doubt that unusual anarchist activity is developing in various countries of Europe, and that the police are taking exceptional precautions against it. MORGAN IS RE-ELECTED. Alabama Legislature Ratifies People's Vote In the Primaries. The Alabama legislature Thursday night unanimously re-elected Hon. John T. Morgan to represent the state in the federal senate for the ensuing six years. This is the beginning of his seventh term. The senator was escorted into the legislative hall by a committee and addressed the assembly. He spoke feelingly of his affection for the people of Alabama, who had honored him so cordially. He said that while all political parties denied it, that sectionalism was even now the bane of government, and that the south would never have its dues so long as northern states had two-thirds of the votes in the senate. He favored the annexation of Cuba and other such recent acquisitions and the making of states out of them, for the reason that they would be free from sectionalism. He deplored the existence of the national bank system, by which the banks were enabled to control the money of the country. He had very little to say of local issues. THE BRATTONS ON TRIAL. Two Brothers Are Charged With Murder of William Brown, at Rock Hill, S. C. The trial of Paul R. Bratton and John S. Bratton, brothers, aged thirty-five and thirty, respectively, began in Yorkville, S. C., Friday. The defendants are charged with having murdered in his bed William Brown, of Rock Hill, a man with a family. It has been proven that on the night of September 13th the brothers drove from Yorkville, where the brothers live, to Rock Hill, fifteen miles, and that one of them went into Brown's house and fired two bullets into his body while he was in bed. Guard Bluffed By Wooden Pistol. Three convicts made a dash for liberty at the state penitentiary at Lansing, Kan., Friday afternoon. One was killed and two escaped. They bluffed the guard with a "dummy" revolver made of wood. GEORGIA VETS ADJOURN. Their Reunion at Augusta Closed With a Mammoth Parade, The reunion and convention of the Georgia Division of United Confederate Veterans at Augusta, came to a close Friday when the great parade of veterans and the local military was dismissed by General Evans Sr. who A BLACK FIEND DIES IN FLAME Colorado Citizens Avenge Onrage and Murder of Little Girl. ANGRY MOB SHOWED NO MERCY Burning Culprit Begged Repeatedly to Be Shot--Crimie Was Most Horrible One. A special from Limon, Col., says: Chained to a railroad rail, set firmly in the ground, on the exact spot where his flendish crime was committed, Preston Porter, Jr., colored, or, as he was familiarly known, John Porter, Friday evening paid a terrible penalty for his deed. It was 6:25 o'clock when the father of the murdered girl touched the match to the fuel which had been piled around the negro, and twenty minutes later a last convulsive shindler told that life was extinct. What agony the doomed boy suffered while the flames shriveled up his flesh could only be guessed from the terrible contortions of his face and the cries he gave from time to time. The executors, who numbered about 300 citizens of Lincoln county, had not the least semblance of the ordinary mob. Their every act was deliberate, and during all the preparations, as well as throughout the sufferings of the negro, hardly an unnecessary word was spoken. Grimly they stood in a circle about the fire until the body was entirely consumed, and then quietly they took their way back to Limon, whence they departed for their homes shortly afterwards. Preston Porter did not seem to realize the awful punishment that he was destined to undergo. As he had exhibited indifference to the enormity of his crime, so he seemed to lack all understanding of its terrible consequences. For more than an hour, while preparations for his execution were in progress, he stood mute andullen among the avengers. When everything was ready hewalked to the stake with a firm step, pausing, as he reached the circle of broken boards, to kneel in prayer. He was allowed to take his time. He arose and placed his back to the iron stake and half a dozen men wound chains about his body and limbs. VICTIM'S FATHER APPLIES MATCH. Kerosene oil was applied to the wood, and, after a brief pause, Richard W. Frost, the father of little Louise Frost, whose crenelly mutilated body was found one week ago on that very spot, applied a match. For a moment a little flickering flame arose. Then the oil blazed up, sparks flow into the air and the wood begun to crackle. Almost instantly the negro's trousers caught fire. At first he did not utter a sound. The flames crept slowly up on his clothing, the sparks flew up in a cloud of pale smoke. Porter turned his head and a frightful expression came over his face. With a sudden convulsive tugging he stretched his head as far from the rapidly increasing flames as possible and uttered a cry of pain, "Oh, my God, let me go, man." The crises of the wretch were doubled, and he bagged repeatedly to be shot. Some wanted to, throw him over into the fire, others tried to dash oil on him. Boards were carried and a large pile made of the prostrate body. They soon were ignited, and the terrible heat and lack of air quickly rendered the victim unconscious, bringing death a few moments later. Throughout the entire affair but little was said. As they had calmly prepared for the avenging, so the people of the eastern part of the state carried out their plan coolly and deliberately. Not a weapon was drawn, there was no angry discussion. After the fire had burned low they told each other good night and then went home. They did not stop to discuss the affair. PORTER CONFESSED CRIME. While in jail at Denver the negro confessed every detail of the hideous crime. The little girl was the daughter of a ranchman living four miles from Limon and attended school in town, driving back and forth. On Wednesday last, while on her way home, she was waylaid, assaulted and murdered, her body showing no less than fourteen knife wounds. Notices have been posted warning Negroes of bad character to leave Lincoln and Elbert counties, and claring that if they do not get his escorted across the border Send us your Job work. We are prepared to do it Mr. G. H. Ralph left on Thursday for Camden S. C. Mrs. Fannie Gray wants THE TRIBUNE sent to her. Mr. W. B. Brooks is a recent admirer of our paper.

We are sorry to chronicle the continued illness of Mrs. Mary Rennair and wish for her a speedy recovery. Mrs Louis Collier who has spent about six weeks at Cordele and other towns, arrived home on Tuesday. Spend Thanksgiving evening at Mrs. Lizzie Milledge's residence 514 Hartridge street if you wish to spend it pleasantly The many friends of Mr. S. G. Webster are glad to see him on the streets again after quite a struggle with rheumatism. Miss Rena Cuthbert, who has spent the summer at Birmingham, Ala., is at home again. Her friends are glad to see her. About eighteen houses belonging to our people were destroyed by fire last week in Eastville. A large per cent of them had no insurance. Some few names will be dropped from our list this week, because the parties have moved and have not notified us where to direct their papers. The Bazaar of the First Congregational Church will commence on Dec. 3rd. Several institutions have signified intention to attend some nights. Fire partly ruined the home of Rev. Wm Gray early Sunday morning last, and in his endeavor to get out of the building he received very painful injuries. Miss Mattie Victory had to be called home this week from the Attanta University on account of the serious illness of her mother Mrs. Eva Victory. The Japanese Bazaar by the Wide Awakes has attracted much attention during the week at Harris street hall. Visit it next week if you wish to have an enjoyable time. Mr. Daniel Henriques of Philadelphia, in company with Mr. T. E. Ferrebee called on us Tuesday. Mr. Henriques has traveled extensively, and is an interesting talker. The large hearted and affable Mr. Cato Young came up to see us Monday. He makes friends with everybody. He has a fine place in the country which he intends fixing up in first-class condition. Parties Having real estate. to sell should see us. Those wishing to buy a home we can accommodate. We also loan money on improved real estate at reasonable rate of interest. J.E. Fulton & Son, real estate agents. Little Anathelia Dunham died the latter part of last week, and was buried on Sunday last. She had a very sweet disposition and was well liked by her little friends. Her parents have the sympathy of friends in their bereavement. Mrs. Clementine Campbell McDonald died on the 12th and was buried from St. Benedict Church. The funeral was largely attended by the many friends of the deceased. She leaves a mother and other relatives to mourn her loss. Miss Carrie and Miss Lizzie Hendrickson have been confined at home sick during the week. The former was able to return to her school on Thursday out the latter is still at home. It is expected that she will be able to get out by Mon- Stir in Military Circles. Military circles were somewhat stirred during the week caused by the visit of Inspector General Obear. The boys of the First Battalion were thinking that a call to arms would be issued and there were many anxious inquiries about it. If an order is issued the inspector would find everything in apple pie order. The arms and equipments of the companies are kept in first-class condition and the records are kept faultlessly. In the matter of drills and discipline the Battalion would compare favorably to any in the state. Col. Deveaux, the commander of the Battalion, with the aid of its untiring officers, has been diligently laboring in this direction with good results According to the state law seven infantry companies and one artillery company are allowed the colored citizens. Heretofore we have had six infantry companies and one artillery. Last week the other infantry company was mustered in. Its headquarters is Augusta and it has fifty men on its roll. It is named the Maceo Guards, and has been assigned to the First Battalion and lettered Co. G, thus giving the battalion seven companies, which is as large if not larger than several of the regiments in the state. Besides these companies, the Georgia Artillery is also under command of Col. Deveaux for administration and discipline, which places in his control the entire colored military force of the state. THE TRIBUNE is proud to state that out of the eight companies in the state, five of them are in Savannah, Atlanta, Macon and Augusta having one each. Savannah also has the only Negro Artillery company in the United States. Heard Rey, Sheldon. Quite a good crowd was present at the Second Baptist church on Sunday afternoon to hear the Rev. Dr. Sheldon. It seemed that about all the colored churches in the city were represented, and had not the afternoon been an inclement one, there would doubtless have been an immense crowd. Rev. Sheldon was accompanied by the Rev. Dr. Smith, who has just severed his connection with the pastor of the First Presbyterian church. Dr. Durham, the pastor, introduced Dr. Smith to the audience and spoke of his regret that he was so soon to leave our city. Dr. Smith introduced Rev. Sheldon, who in a very soft but forceful manner spoke to the audience. The theme of the discourse was simple, but the thoughts advanced were unusual, and throughout the sermon the words were helpful and encouraging, and verified the fact that Rev Sheldon is indeed a great preacher. The choir seemed to be at its best. Miss Monroe, the efficient organist, and each member seemed to vie with each other in performing his or her part. The music was enthusing to say the least. The hearing of Dr. Sheldon was certainly a treat to our people. Thanksgiving Services. Thanksgiving day will be generally observed in the city, next Thursday. Several of the churches will observe it by holding services in the morning. The Second Baptist Church, Rev. Dr. Durham, pastor, will have service at 11 oclock. The pastor will preach and the music for the occasion will be the main feature. The choir of this church is noted for its excellent singing and they will be heard at their beat at this service. At the First. Congregational Church a special effort will be made for its observance. A committee has been appointed to decorate the church and to secure articles for the poor of the Church and others too. The sermon by the pastor, Rev J. W. Whittaker, will be in keeping with the day. One of the features of the service will the part taken by the Sunday School children in the singing. Some of the other Churches will hold services at night. A sensational murder occurred on Monday night last. Detective Shea was killed without much ado by J. J Hart. It seems as if the tragedy was caused by a woman with whom both of the men were enmored. Two shots were fired, but who fired the first shot is somewhat contradictory, but Hart's proved more fatal. Hart was arrested immediately. The coroner's jury rendered a verdict of involuntary manslaughter, but the next day a warrant charging him with murder was sworn out. The grand jury found "no bill" against the accused and he was therefore released. Death of Mrs. Williams. Death of Mrs. Williams. Mrs. Georgia Williams died on Wednesday of last week at the residence of her sister Mrs Laura Smith. The funeral services took place on Thursday, conducted by Rev. J. B. Epton, who spoke in glowing terms about the life of the deceased and pointed to our christian life as an example for others to follow., Mrs. Williams was a member of the First Bryan Baptist Church. She leaves another two sisters, other relatives and many friends to be born here. Lecture on Education. Prof. N. B.
