that the crack of the bourbon weapons
engaged in political murder resounded

fairness to declare that it was due to a

was Il tragic interruption to-day of the

Court. Some months ago a watch was
stolen from the express company en- route
from Montgomery to Pensacola. The
watch was pawned in New Orleans by

him arrested. He was brought to Mont
gOmery, but the court having no jurisdic-
tiOn, could not try the case. Goodwin
then sued the company for $50, 900
damages. The case was called
to-day, and had progressed
to the dinner adjournment. About (
O'Clock, as Goodwin was going up the
court house steps, he was stabbed by A.
A. Adams, one of the cOmpany's messen-
gers. His wounds are in the breast and
back, and are serious. Adams was a
messenger at the time the watch was
stolen, and Goodwin was a baggage mas
ter on the same train. Goodwin claims
that Adams gave him the watch to pawn,
whence the difficulty. Adams sued the
