AS the scow Jim was coming into
port Monday morning the man at the
anchor held on till he struck bottom.
Some who witnessed the operation
thought he did it purpOsely to inspect
the anchorage, but such was not the
case. In throwing the anchor over
board, he thought it was going to foul
with the cable, and held ON to it to
prevent that, but the anchor having
got the start took the man with it till
it struck bottom, then he loosened his
grip and came To the surface, spouting
like a porpoise.

Shocking Tragedy.

A Dover, Delaware, special to the
New York Herald, dated October 25,
says: Jerry Scanlan, a large land
owner living near here, went last night
to the house of Curtis Williams, whose
farm adjoins his, and called him to the
door, There have been frequent dis
putes between the two men over the
boundary lines of land, and the feeling
between them has been very bitter. When
Williams appeared the contention was
renewed and Scanlan finally cut it short
by shooting Williams in the left shoulder
with a double barrelled shotgun which
he carried. The gun was heavily charg.
ed and the muZzle almost touched
Williams shoulder when it was
discharged. Williams fell terribly
wounded and ct once became
senseless. As soon as he saw the deadly
effect of his work Scanlan directed the
gun toward his own body and discharged
it, the load tearing a terrible hole in his
abdomen. A doctor who was summon
ed to attend Williams pronounced his
wound fatal, and he is now lying at the
point Of death. Scanlaa after shooting
himself crawled away from the scene of
the tragedy and was not found until
this morning. when brother of his vic
tim discovered him suffering and help
less in ditch near his home. Scanlan's
wound will also prove fatal. 1t is be-
lieved that Scanlan was suffering from
mental alteration when he shot Will
liams. He was in Dover yesterday and
had been drinking, and when he left
said he intended to kill himself, but
made no mention of an intention to take
the life of his neighbor."

UNSUITABLE HOMICIDE.
An Alabama Man who Avenged In
suits 10 his Wife DISCHARGED.

GreenviIe. Miss, Special to NJ Y. Herald
Lanier, who killed D. s. Love here last
Friday, was examined before Judge Valli-
ant, Mayor of Greenville, and acquitted.
Mayor Valiant is one Of our most highly re-
spected citizens, and his decision is indorsed
oY the entire community. The details of
the libel by Love on the wife Of Lanier are
utterly unfit for publication. 1t appeared
at the trial that Love was an unsuccessful
suitor, and prosecuted the lady before her
marriage, and after that event sought the
revenge of blasting her character. In thus
discharging the prisoner, Judge Valiant
said: 81 have been a practicing lawyer for
more than twenty years, and have never
seen or heard of such a case as this. There
is no law to which the defendant in q case
like this could appeal. II any one In po-
sition like that occupied by him had sued
for damages he would simply have been
laughed at. 1t is therefore my opinion that
he did just what or any other man of hon
or would do, and I therefore discharge the
prisoner and bid him go hence without de-
lay" This decision was received with
shouts of applause,

THE IRISH CRISIS.

MunsLer-A COX AgitatOr's Al
legged Record.

LONDON, October 27.-Mr. O'Neill, the
organizer and paid secretary of the Cork
branch of the Land League, has been arrested.
The Cork correspondent or the Times
says: "The process Of dissolution OF the
Land League in the south Of Ireland pro-
ceeds steadily and peacefully. The branches
quietly submit to the prohibition of their
meetings. The government, to justify their
course in rearresting Mr.. John Heffernan,
one of the most violent Of the Leaguers in
Cork, have published an appeal, which he
made for clemency, after his first arrest.
The appeal concludes:
81 will guarantee to take no further part
in public matters relative to land reform,
knowing as l do that the land bill is per-
feet"
"Mr. Heffernan since his release deni ed
that he signed any conditions, and resumed
the agitation"
