Anthony. one of the oldest and most I
respected ministers OF the Methodist /
Church in that State, was shot Oh
the 10th inst. at AnGcrsonvllle, While
performing IA marriage ceremony. 1t t
seems that Mr.. Anthony, while mar
rying a couple, was interrupted by
the stcpfather of the lady, who or
dered him to desist. He remonstrat-
ed with the intruder, telling him 1t
was to late then, and that he ought
not to be guilty of suct unSeemly
conduct. The mans response was
the raising and firing, at almost
point blank rage, of a double barrel
Shot Gun loaded with buckshot, the
entire load taking effect i'll the low
er part of his victims stomach. The
brave old man fell TO the floor. but
by tremendous effort raised him
self up, and saying, " | will finish
the job, proceeded with the cere-
mOny and pronounced the couple |
man and wife. He then fell down I
/ completely exhausted, and it is be /
/ lieved cannot recover. Indeed his /
death was momentarily expected at
last accounts.
