Captain John Coker, who was wounded al
McEwen's Mill, on the Tennessee river, on
Thursday, died. yesterday morning at boudon
five minutes before ten O clock, and was perfect
ly conscious up to the time of his death.
! His wife and physician who left Knoxville on
the night he was shot, reached Loudon at four
o'clock yesterday morning, and were with him
to the last. For short period in the earlier
part of the evening. he suffered comparatively
little pain, and slight hope was entertained
that he might possibly recover. But soon it
was made manifest that the fatal bullet had TO
surely fulfilled its mission and that death was
inevitable. Capt. Coker had not shared the de-
lusive hope of his friends. however, and when
some one spoke of conveying him. home, said
he was willing to be guided by thejadgnsht of
his friends but that he would never reach
Knoxville alive We learn from friends yres-
ent that he conversed intellgently almost to the
last, and professed, perfect willingness to meet
hislCreator, and died in the tfultriumph of the
Christian faith. '7
From gentleman who arrived from Loudon
yesterday we learn that at the time the fatal shot
was fred it was entirely unexpected by any one.
As was stated; yesterdays Capt Cocker was en-
deavoring to prevent his boat and the Hugh
Martin from coming together with violence,
when Capt. John Fritts stepped from the cabin
Of the latter boat with Spencer rife at his
shoulder pointed at Cocker and immediately
fred. Several men :on the Hugh Martin
stated that Fritts called out If you move I'll
kill you," or Stand still, or I'll shoot you,,i
before firing, while others assert that no warn-
ing at all was given. All argue, however, that
Capt Coker had no time to draw weapon
much less get out Of the, way, alter Fritts
stepped on the deck, before he was shot.
3 We are also told by friends of Capt; Cokcr,,
that brother of Capt. Fritts was with him and
drew repeater to fire on Coker,, but was told
the shot had taken effect and therefore it was no
use. 1t was rumored that the brothers Fritts
were at Kingston Thursday afternoon and that
during the night they came to -Loudon and
crossed the river there though twas not posi-
lively known. - = Il = IA - -

but nothing ola positive nature has yet been

8 We are informed that before his death Capt
Coker made provision in his will, appropriat-
ing athousand dollars toward prosecuting the
cause in court and bringing Fritts to justice. =

of the deceased, on Main street, at four o'clock

Lookout Mountain Educational Inssitu


The closing exercises of this rising institution
took place last Tuesday. There were orations
during the day by sixteen of the most advanced
students, and essays by several of the young
ladies, variety and interest being added by ex-
ercises at intervals by the music class. The
productions were highly creditable to all
concerned, and it was pleasing to notice the
absence of that bombastic and grandiloouent
style, which is such common fault among
young speakers. Knoxville was represented on
the programme by Mr.. VIM. L. Rhea, who
presented in forcible and entertaining man.
ner the subject of Representative 0rators.''
Four other East Tennesseeans sustained them
selves upon the rostrum with much credit
In the evening, the graduated exercises took
place, and four young ladies received the high
est honors of the Institution, and babe farewell
to Alma Mater.
Prof Bancroft deserves the highest credit for
the success with which he has placed such great
literary advantages within the reach Of young
men OF The South of average means; and the
exercises of commencement day gave good
evidence Of the thoroughness of his instruction,
and OF his fitness for educating our aspiring
young men.
