LOUISVILLE, December GA special
from EIizabethsown, a quiet and some
what aristocratic neighborhood of Heiyes
Valley, fifteen miles from here, was yes,
terday and is to-day the scene OF the
widest excitement, on account Of ter.
rible tragedy enacted there yesterday,
which may prove double one.
David ]. Carter, an old and respectable
citizen, and Bud Harrington, also highly
respectable citizen, both farmers in good
circumstances, the former about tifty.five
years old and the latter about thirty.hVs,
had lawsuit about the settlement ot some
outstanding accounts between them,
which was heard yesterday, and after
its hearing 1t became the subject
Of q conversation between the liti-
gants, when from words 1t came to
slows, and Harrington drew pistol and
shot Carter, the ball entering his mouth
aud coming out at the back OF his neck.
Young Carter, q son OF the wounded man,
ran home and returned in few minutes
with double-barreled shotgun, both bar
rels OF which he discharged into the body
OF Harrington, apparently killing him in.
stantly. he fell seemingly lifeless and lay
perfectly still where he had fallen.
-Qld man Carter seized smiths sledge
which was lying near, and walking up to
the remains deliberately crust ned the head
OF the victim and then fell over him, ap-
pareutly in dying condition. The wound.
ed Carter and the remains OF Harrington
now lie in the same house, that OF Mr..
Randolph, one awaiting the Coroner and
the other the result OF his wounds.

The boomers have been very active ali
day to make themselves comfortable for
the winter. The Colony meeting held to.

camp and maintain their organization.
Leave OF absence was granted to the men
living in the neighborhood TO go home
to spend the holidays. Since the colony
came here over 200 men have joined and
hold themselves ready to move at any
time. A complete change in the sentiment
OF the merchants OF the border
towns has taken pIacs In regard
to opening the territory. The merchants
here are to q man for the opening, They
to-day subscribed over 81 900 in provis.
ions TO aid the colony. The prominent
merchants that have heretofore opposed
the movement made liberal subscriptions,
and said: am now for opening, Tor
see two or three cattle combinations are
getting the central territory and excluding
the small owners, and these monopolies
buy their goods in the East, and do not
patFonize US. Those familiar with the
early history oil Kansas say this Is deep
seated movement, and net game oil bluff.
Most OF the colony will repair to their
homes for the holidays, but each one
signs pledge before departing to return
early in the new year.

persons, aud that in 1879 there were 81 in
operation, employing 1884 persons, and
that this year there are II mills in opera
ton, employing lo,746 persons. Three OF
these mills are in Belmont county, en-
plsyipg $50 persons, and two in Jefferson
(Only one in operation), employing $50
persons. The weekly wages paid in 1873
averaged as follows: To heaters, s27 so;
to puddlers, $50 40; 10 rollers, sS2 sSi to
helpers $40 so; to laborers, 81 AZ; to
nailers, $S5 46; to nail feeders, =; 70
,catchers, -; to mechanics, s1s 65, and to
