TIE LAST SUMMIT TRAGEDY
TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS BAIL

The Summit Times Of Thursday says, in
reference to the case Of young Hurst:
We stated last week that Mr.. Hurst had
| given himself up to the Sheriff, and asked
| an investigation OF the late killing BY this
| step he gave sufficient evidence that. in his
own mind at least. his defense would be
| good. The trial was under progress before
his Homer Mayor Quin. but was suspended
by order ct the Governor until the State
could be properly represented. Hon. Luke
Lea, being employed by the Governor to aid
i'll the examinations arrived here last Friday
morning, when The examination was re
sUmed.
i considerable number of witnesses were
examined on both sides. The testimony on
the part of the State was substantially the
same us that elected before the Jury of i'll
quest, published i'll this paper last week
We have cndcavored 10 procure access to
| the evidence adduccd tur the defense, but
have been unable to do So. However. it
WIS very clearly proved that deadly threats
had been made 10y the deceased against the
life of III. Z. Hurst, and also that these
threats had been followed up 10y ,lcInonStra
tons of an unini>t;tkable character. The
| deceased had. en- one or two occasions
hailed men (nistaking them for IInrSt).
with drawn pistol and demanded that his
| supposed antagonist should also draw. Dis
covering MS mistake, ne very pOilltlS apolO-
gized, but ma,e no disguise as to his inten-
tion 10 assault Young Hurst. The dcien>e
mainly rests on these reckless threats on
the part of the man who was killed. an,,
his attempt to execute them. There was
found OH tho person OF the deceased a
formidable revolving pistol which Bell Ia
gunslnithl testified woult. kill :, man at two
hundred yards.
Hon. Luke Lea managed the case for the
State with great ABILITY. His opening ar
gu,ncnt displayed a thorough familiarity
with the points of law bearing on the case,
which he presented clearly, boldly and with
marked force and effect.
Owing TO indispositon, Judge w. p.
Harris could not do himself 1ull justice in
his argument for the defense. He has been
unwell since his arrival last week. and on
the day of the argument was evidently Ia
boring painfully under the effects of his re-
cent illness. Still. notwith>tandm. these
physical draw backs there occasionally
flashed from him bright salics OF wit aud
profound interpretations of law points, Civ
ing abundant evidence of the true genius in
him. When he is fully himself Judge
Harris is without an equal as y lawyer i'll
this State.
After the close of the speaking in the
case the accused WAS admittedto bail i'll I;
bond of 100000 which was promptly given.

The canny Scotchmen look upon the mar

cold water. 1t is an excellent plan to drink
one or two glasses Of cold water on lying

We are glad to see by the apparent re-
suits of the action of the Legislature yes
terday that Governor Alcorn will. i'll all

tive affairs of Mississippi till the coming
autumn. His energy and ability can not he
spared to the State at the present time. At
some future day he may accept the United
States senatorship; but at present it is
not deemed advisable by him to leave the
State to till that position. We think that
no wiser or patriotic course could be pur
sued by the Governor than to remain as the

quiet and ordei. established throughout our

JOHN BRODIE's WIFE.
A story of the Two ''Panics. /"

Marry her if you viii, sir, but
the consequence be upon your own
head. Mind that"
And Silas Brodie as he thus spoke
gazed sternly upon his son. He
was very angry and his lips were
compressed until their hue was
bloodless.
"She must be my wife, father"
John Brodie returned. calmly and
decidedly.
''Austg VIII you set at naught
fathers authority?"
@You have no right to put the
question in that way" the young
man said. reprovingly. "Tou know
very well that in all things just 1
will obey you, but not IN this-I
cannot. I love Alice Darcy-I
have loved her a long time-and I
cannot sacrifice my whole JOY and
peace for coming life to a false, per-
nicious idea of fashion or eSpedi-
ency."
every well, sir,n cried the old
man, with a wave of the hand; "go
I will not retraet. Marry with Is
abel Ogden and a hundred thous-
and dollars are yours. Marry with
this low girl and-aa0t one penny u
"My father, one hundred thous-
and dollars cannot buy your sonr'
and thus proudly speaking, John
Brodie turned from his fathers
presence.
There was a CLEAN of pride upon
that fathers face as he gazed upon
the erect handsome form of his
boy; but it faded quickly away, and
his foot came down with a stamp,
as though he would crush forever
the emotion he had for a moment
experienced.
SIlaS Brodle had retired from bu
siness, and he was very wealthy
John was his only child, and he had
long held a plan for a ''brilliant al
lance" for his heir. He had even
made arrangements with the pa
rents of Isabel Ogden for a union
between her and his son. Hence,
when he found that John had shap-
ed his own course and resolved to
marry q. poor, unknown girl, his
rage was deep and bitter. He
would not think of it-he would
have the low girl apprehended for
robbing his son of his love-he
would stop it in some way. But
when, in the end, lie found he could
not stop it, he took an oath that he
would disinherit his child if he per-
sisted in his rebellious course. We
have seen the result.

WIN Am ! Mo- a Christian2

1. Is it because I am ashamed
of ridicule, and of what others will
say to me?
"Whosoever shall be ashamed of
Me and of My words, of him shall
the Son of man be ashamed"
?. Is it because of the inconsis-
tencies of protesting Christians?
every man shall give an account
of himself to God"
3. Is it because I am not willing
to give up all to Christ?
.What shall it profit a man if he
shall gain the whole world and lose
his own soul?'
4. Is it because I am afraid I
shall not be accepted?
''Him that eometh unto me I win
in no wise cast out"
5. Is it because I fear I am too
great a sinner?
"The blood Of Christ Jesus
cleanseth from all sin"
6. Is it because 1 am afraid I'll
not hold outY'
"He which hath begun a good
work in you viii perform it until
the day of Jesus Christ"
7. Is it because I am thinking
that 1 viii do as well as I can, and
that God ought to be satisfied with
that?
"Whosoever shall keep the whole
law and yet offend in one point, he
is guilty of all"
8. Is it because I am postponing
the matter without any definite rea-
son?
Boast not thyself of tomorrow,
for thou knowest not what a day
may bring forth.

In the home of an humble arti-
san, and engaged in kitting, sat
Alice Darcy. Her pure, handsome
face was lighted up by a happy
smile, for a little child-a child Of
her only brother-gamboled by her
side. Alice had been spending the
winter in the city with her brother,
and had intended to return in the
spring to her home in the country,
where she had been living with an
uncle, her-parents being both dead.
In a little while the child went
away, and then Alice stopped knit
ting and became sad and thought
full.
',Eh? how now, Alice, my dar-
ling?" cried a stalwart man of some
five and thirty years, whose garb
bore upon it the dust and wear of
toll. "Why so sad, tell me?'
"Sit down, Tom, and I viii tell
you"
So the brother sat down and took
both his fair sisters hands in his
own. There was an earnest, hon
est loving look upon his face, which
gave Alice confidence at once.
''Now, what is itY'
"Pll tell you, Tom; I must not
'Not whatY'
"Not-not-"
"Oh, fudge! don't tremble so and
tell me what you want to say. You
mean to say that you mustn't mar
~ John Brodie, eh?'
"Aye, Tom, the very words !
would have spoken" returned she,
bowing her head and trembling
more violently still.
'Why, what silly girl! Pooh
nonsense! Look up here, darling
mine, You don't know what you
are talking about. Not marry John
And why noty
Because" said the sister, with
more composrre, u shall only rot
him of his patrimony. His father
will disinherit him.
-"And what of that2 John Bro
die has made his own selection, and
let me tell you, he has made a good
one. When I started out to learn
his true character I found him all
eould wish for the husband of my
sister. And I found out one more
thing, too; I found him one who
| could count all the gold of all th'
world as dross and a curse were i
heaped up in one great pile and of
fered to him if he would sell hi
heart. No, no; John Brodie loves
you too well-you love him toe
we'll; you would both be miserable
if YOU were to leave him. But theF
