Shocking Tragedy i'm Peters.
burg.

PETERSBURG, VA, August g.
TIE M shocking tragedy within
IN annals of Petersburg's history
was enacted here this evening
about 6 O'Clock. The particulars
are as fellows: John w. Green,
a prominent young merchant of
Petersburg, returned on the four
O'Clock train from Richmond,
where he had beed in attendance
on the democratic convention. He
was very drunk when he reached
the city, and was introduced to
w. +. Lee, of LittletOn. n. G. Lee
was also drunk, and invited Green
to take drink with him. Green
refu .pd.at which Lee took offense,
and both parties went out to SET
tie the dispute. Lee drew q knife.
Green walked up to him, anu Lee
struck him several times in the
face, " hereupon Green drew his
pistol and shot Lee in the right
breast, the ball severing the artery
which feeds the heart. Lee then
clu ched Green and stabbed him
three times about the throat and
face, and in five minutes both fell
and expired. The affair creates
intense excitement here. Lee is
originally from Petersburg, but
had been living for some time in
North Carolina

Every once in the while tele-

An increase of 1875 per cent. The
output has increased from $780,

The barge shipments OF grain
this season from st Louis to New
Orleans have been: Wheat, 3 250,-

els; oats. 1878 bushels; rye, o.
423 bushels; a total of 9,S4S, l76
bushels. Corn shipments have
been made every week by this
route without any damage from
heating. In fact, the corn reaches
New Orleans in better condition
than when put on board, on ac-
count of the thorough and effec-
tive ventilation of the barges.
Guitea wanted to get out of jair
so he drew up a petition to be pre-
sented to the proper court to be
admitted TO bail. 1t is a remarka-
bic document, and the mans
shrewdness and cunning are well
displayed therein. He declares,
emphatically,that he Is dot insane,
but expresses great fear that he
may become so If kept in Jail.
His anxiety to get out, as set forth
by himself, is chiefly due to this
fear; but Is also prompted by a
desire to take trip to Europe and
prepare political lecture. He Of
fers fifteen hundred dollars bail,
but says this is not necessary as
his own recognizance is sufficient.
he assures the court he will be
on hand at the day appointed for
his trial, and will conduct his own
defence. assisted by the best legal
talent the country affords.

The death OF Judge w. A Carter,
post trader at Fort Bridger, causes sor-
row among a wide circle of friends. he
was one of the early pioneers Of the
west, the friend Of the soldier, settler
and Indian. by all of whom he was
highly esteemed. Although advanced in
years. having nearly reached the age of
80, he was hale and hearty, and his sud
den demise was q surprise TO all who
knew him. Judge Carter was known
as one OF the most hospitable of men.
His generosity has been accepted by
many prominent military and civil OFF,
cers of the government, who always
sound a hearty welcome at the Judges
home.
During the fall the judge was much
interested in the building Of the road to
Fort Bridger, and submitted to the
same hardships ola grading camp as
the younger and more robust men. The
results of this were prostration and
death.
Judge Carter will be long and favor
ably remembered by our people.
