Fatal shootinE Anrny.

ATLANTA, GA, March 1l.-This after.

the Capitol, this city, was the scene OF a
bloody tragedy, the parties being Colonel
Robert A. Alston, member OF the Legisla-
turo, and Capt Ed. Cox. Of De Kalb Coun-
ty. Aston fired three shots and Cox two.
Alston WAS shot in the right temple, the
ball passing through the brain. Cox was
shot in the mouth and through the left
hand. Alston is dead and Cox is not SO.
riously hurt. The difficulty arose from
Alston having power Of attorney from
Senator Gordon to sell the latter's interest
in the State Convict lease. Cox is sub.
lessee under Gordon, and wanted Aston
to sell GOrlon's interest to Walters, who
promised to buy Cox out. Aston sold 10
another person, and Cox threatened Aston
at noon that he would kill him before sun
down il the trade WIS not cancelled and
made with his man. He hunted Aston
down, and found him at the Capitol, where
Governor Colquitt and others bad detain-
ell him. The quarrel was renewed, and
both drew pistols, with the above result.
