A Pair of Clever SVvfndlers.
 BOSTON, Aug. 9.-A few weeks ago 8 cer- tain G. A. Fuller, representing himself as a cotton broker doing business at 54 Kilby street, called on Daniel Goodnow, at 91 Con- mercial street, and represented to that gen tleman that he wished to negotiate for large amount of cotton which Goodnow was holding for speculation. He thought he could find a customer for Goodnow in the Pepperill Manufacturing company, of Bidde- ford, Me, who own several cotton mills. In few days he brought in and introduced to Goodnow finely dressed man with kid gloves, diamond studs, etc, and represented him as the agent of the Pepperill company. At length bargain was struck for $30,On0 worth of cotton, which Goodnow was in duced to ship to Biddeford in a barque bought by him for the purpose, and, after receiving the necessary notes, etc, from the agent of the Pepperin company, allowed the barque to sail. That was on July IS, and nothing has been heard of the barque since. But enquiry of the Pepperill company shows that they never had such an agent and that the whole thing was 8 carefully contrived swindle between Fuller and the alleged agent. On some pretext or other Goodnow was in- duced to ship several hundred gallons of wine and @ large amount of tea with the car go, and he is consequently out about 1885, 900.

The Hatcher-Luter DfffIculty


A deadly conflict occurred at st.
Bethlehem, in this county, on last
Saturday night, between Manton
Hatcher and George Luter, young
men who lived near the above nam
ed place, in which the murderous
pistol played its part, and consigned
to an untimely grave, George Lu-
ter. Many reports of the killing
and of the cause that led thereto,
are current, but after sitting the UNI
fortunate affair as best we could, we
believe the following account is a
correct versions:
The tragedy occurred in the store
house of Mr.. Theodore Walthal,
who had ordered his store closed
for the night, leaving it in charge
of his clerk, Mr.. Charlie Booth.
Mr.. Booth soon after closed the
store with Hervey Collier, Thomas
Waugh, George Luter, and Manton
Hatcher still remaining inside.
Soon after a quarrel arose between
Luter and Hatcher, springing out
of an old grudge which had existed
for long time between them. Dur
ing the controversy Luter made Sc
we're charges and insinuations
against the character of members of
Hatcher's family. One word brought
on another, and the affray was COM
menced by Hatcher pushing Luter
back against the counter, behind
which Hatcher then stationed him.
self. Luter Immediately regained
himself and let fly at Hatcher with
rock which he had about his per-
son, at the same time advancing on
him with drawn knife. (This as
sertion is, however, contradicted. J
At this point Hatcher drew his pis-
tol and commenced firing. The
first shot missed Luter and broke a
jar on the shelf behind Luter's
head. He continued firing, his Sec
ond shot taking effect in Luter's left
breast below the collar bone. Luter
then jumped behind the counter
and they grappled in what proved to
be death struggle. Hatcher Rugged
him tightly with his left arm, and
placing the pistol against his left
side, fired the fatal shot, the ball
penetrating Luter's heart, causing
death almost instantly.
Hatcher then ran Immediately up
to Walthal's residence and told him
of the affair. Mr.. Walthal, accom-
panied by neighbors, went to the
store and took charge of the remains
and summoned coroner. The YER
dict of the coroner's jury was in ae-
cordance with the above facts.
An open knife was found in Luz
ter's pants pocket. Hatcher disap-
peared soon after the difficulty, and
at last accounts had not been ar
rested. 1t is reported, however,
that he intends to return and stand
his trial. Luter's remains were in
tered in the city cemetery in this
city, on last Monday.
