A MINISTER SHOT DEAD.
Mysterious Domestic Affairs the Cause
of the Shooting.

LULING, Ten, August 15.-Yesterday
afternoon Lawrence Denman met Rev.
r. G. Sewell on the street, and drawing a
navy revolver fired at the minister four
times, inflicting wounds which in short
time caused his death. The causes lead
ing to the shooting are of a domestic
nature and can only be published on the

the victim of a conspiracy, as he asserted
in an ante mOrtem statement. Both par
ties are highly connected. Rev. SeWell
was Methodist clergyman, and the local
agent of the American Bible Society.

The concert at Krsch's nall, for the beriit
of the Second Baptist church (colored), passed
off very successfully last night. The attend
ance was good, though If more friends had
presented themselves, ample accommodation
would have been found for them. The pro-
gramme, set forth at length on the hand bills,
gave big promise, which was far from being
unfulhlled, as was testified by the hearty APP
plause accorded TO the deserving performers,
every one Of whom merited praise by the ex-
cellent manner in which they rendered their
several parts. The singing throughout was
good, especially the duets Of Miss Goodrich
and Miss Mamie Johnson, of Waco, with
Louis Jordan. Want Of space does not allow
us to mention each performance, as we would
like to do, but we may add that the comic
element was well sustained by Mrs. Denman
and Mr.. Warren. The actirg, too, was fair,
and the song, al Dreamt Dwell in Marble
Halls" was listened to with marked attention.
Mrs. Jordan was an excellent accompaniment
on the piano. The Rev L.. G.. Jordan was
obliged to remind the noisy boys at the back
that it was useless to hope for respect when
they paid so little Of it to themselves, and
begged them to put out their cigars and put in
a more quiet and orderly appearance.
