Capt. Nuts Murder and his Daugh-
ter's Shame Avenged in the Blood
ofthe Wretched Dukes.
Uniontown, Pa. June 13.-James Mutt,
son of State Treasurer Capt. A. G. Mutt, de-
ceased, shot and killed N. L. Dukes, his
fathers murderer, this evening at 7:3O
o'clock. He shot four times, all the shots
taking effect. Dukes died instantly. Dukes
had been frequently informed of his danger
in remaining in Uniontown, and he lately
said he would either stay there or the Gem.
etery. It is said that he had expressed fear
of the son of Capt. Mutt, and was never on
the street after night. To-day James Mutt
was seen practicing with revolver at his
he was standing near the postoffce, when
Dukes came along. As Dukes was passing
he turned his head and noticed young Mutt.
just as he stepped from the doorway, and
fired a shot, taking effect in Dukes side.
Dukes started to rum when Mutt followed
and shot again. By this time Dukes was on
the postoffice steps, when he received an
other shot and tell inside the door. Mutt
followed and fred two more shot, into
Dukes PROSTATE body, one taking effect in
the neck. Dukes was dead before any one
could get to him. The revolver that did the
work Is the same that Capt. Mutt carried on
the morning of his death. Young Mutt
gave himself up and is now in jail. He was
calm, but pale as a sheet. Five shots were
fred, four taking effect. The coroners jury
are now sitting. Excitement is running
high.
THE PENALTY OF WARNING UNHEEDED.
Dukes had been frequently warned to
leave Uniontown, bu. he persi>tently re-
fused. His friends lad often advised him
to seek another home, and his answer was
always that he would either live in Union
town or be a corpse in the cemetery. As
far back as last December, young Mutt had
threatened to have Dukes life, and the lat
ter had always avoided him. The last of
the two shots fred after Dukes fell, pene-
trated his back. Toe shooting created in.
tense excitement, but at II p. M. everything
has quiet. Young Mutt is not quite twenty
years of age and has always been considered
quiet and inofensive. It is said, however
that he has been practieing with revolver
for some time past.
On Dec. %, 1882, N. L. Dukes, a lawyer,
and member elect of the Pennsylvania leg
islature from Fayette county, shot and
killed Capt. A. G. Mutt, state cashier, in the
Jennings house, Uniontown. The cause
was the alleged seduction of Capt. Nuts
daughter Lizzie by Dukes, to whom the
young lady was engaged. The jury much
to the establishment of the public and in
the face of the most conclusive evidence of
the guilt of Dukes, and the judges charge,
which was strongly in favor of the prosecu-
ton, rendered verdict of not guilty.

Comment on the star route verdict is still
rife in Washington. There is, generally
speaking, no fault found with the jury. It
appears from apoll of the jury but four of
them are republican and eight are DEM
ocrats. They are all considered honest men
by their neighbors, and incorruphble. The
real difficulty was in the indictment for
conspiracy. As was pointed out a
year ago, before the first trial, conviction
for conspiracy had never been obtained IN
this district.
The special agent sent to investigate the
alleged smuggling of Chinese laborers into
British Columbia, in his report to Secretary
Folger places the number at 10000, chiefly
employed by the Canadian Pacific. The
agent says it is not likely they were ever in
this country, and claims that no Chinese
from British Columbia have entered Wash

of previous residence in the United States.

sportsman will do well to consult the
pages of "A Paradise for Gunners and

ton, recently issued by the Passenger

This little pamphlet finds the sports
mans paradise in the Maryland and
Delaware Peninsula, and that section
is exhaustively treated with regard to
its hunting and fishing resources. Not
only are all its birds and fishes discuss
ed and described, but their habits are
decanted upon and their haunts dis
closed. Valuable hints are also given
as to the time and manner "A hen ang-
Ter or gunner may work with the best
success; and explicit directions as to
routes and stopping places accompa.

book. The book is handsomely illus
trated with plates of the principal
species of game, and is arranged so as
to be carried in the pocket with CON
