A FATAL TRAGEDY.
A WrOngsd Woman Seeks Revenge
with BuckshOt.

Gibson, Ga, Enterprise.
On last Saturday morning the
news reached us that a horrible
murder had been committed sever
al miles east Of here, just over the
Glasscock line, in jefferson, at
the house Of Mr.. John Ivey, at l
a. m. Saturday morning. The
murdered man was Jack McCau-
lay, of Warren, and his destroyer
was Miss Virsy Ivey, a young
lady nineteen or 20 years old, also
from Warren. The deceased has
recently turned his property into
money, and deserted his wife and
children, for the purpose of elop-
ing with Miss Ivey. On Satur-
day several parties went from
here to the scene of the murder.
They describe the sight as truly
horrible. Lying near the house
was the murdered man, the ground
for a yard or two around covered
with blood. On the side of his
face was a large wound made by
fifteen buckshot, evidently from
short range, for one side of the
moustache was burned away.
Lying near him were pair of
ladies' shoes, a box of clothing
and pile of money amounting TO
$3.50. Virey Ivey on being ques-
toned said that she killed Nc
Caulay and wasn't sorry for it
either. That some one had been
prowling about the house for two
weeks and she got tired of it and
determined to kill whoever it was.
On the night of the murder, she
said, the dogs baked so that she
could not sleep, and about 10
O'Clock, she heard a tap on the
window, going to it McCaulay
told her to come with him and he
would give her $1,000. She told
him she would not go, and he said
if she did not go he would blow
her brains out. Then to fool him
she handed out the shoes and box,
and as he stopped down she got
the gun, and when he arose she
fired.
No one took it upon himself to
arrest the woman, and after the in
quest she left and it is not know
where she went. Public opinion
is that Miss Ivey is innocent and
that her brother, Tom, committed
the crime aid she took it upon
herself, expecting to come clear at
the trial.

Hawinsvil, ,eGa, Dispatch.
The editor of this paper owns d
small black pony sixteen years
old. He is a wiregrass scrub, and
has learned quite a number OF
tricks. Some of our citizens are
disposed to make fun of him oc-
casionally, we mean they either
make fun of the pony or
us-which is the same. One of his
accomplishments is his expertness
in opening his stable door and
getting into the crib. On one oc-
casion during Superior Court at
Abbeville, when stopping at Judge
Johnson's this pony let himself
out Of his stable, opened the crib
door, and then went round and
pulled out the pegs and turned the
latches on all of the stables, and
let all the horses have picnic.
This pony is very feet-footed and
nimble under the saddle, and for
age and size, would be hard to
beat in quarter race.
We made the assertion the
other day that he could, with a
light vehicle, trot mile in 2:15.
That may be a little beyond his
speed, but we are certain he can
trot-a mile in 2;35. We are not a
betting man, but if there is Geor-
gia editor who doubts the asser-
ton there can be found in Hawk
insville several men with money
to wager ON the result.

BELvA LOCKWOOD.
WHAT she Wanted.


Last Saturday afternoon about
2 o'clock Pennsylvania avenue
presented lively scene. The de-
partments were dismissing their
thousands of employees. Neither
house of congress was in session,
and the capitol was deserted. The
wide sidewalks were thronged
with gay promenaders and the
smooth street was filled with every
description Of vehicles. Amid all
the rush of pedestrians, and the
hum of wheels, there was an OBJ
ject which attracted the general
attention. It was a combination
of tricycle. and late presidential
candidate. Yes; it was Belva
Lockwood speeding with wonder-
Gus skill up the avenue on her
three wheels, avoiding deftly the
milk wagon, the coal cart and the
elegant coupe. One Of the adj
vantages of soiourn in Washing
ton is. the opportunity of. seeing
this lady now and then. She and
her tricycle. make a familiar, but
always a welcome, break in the
stiff monotony on the swell prone
made of the capital Saturday AFTER
noon. She attracted more than
usual attention because the state
ly stroke which generally furnish
es the motive energy for her Curl
ous machine was quickened into g.
vigorous, almost plunging motion
that resulted in q speed worthy of
a prize wheelmar. Belva Lock-
wood evidently meant business.
AS she dashed past three cent car
and crested coach with the same
Indifference not few curious
thoughts followed her flying, fut-
5ering figure. She made the run
to the treasury in time which
must have brushed the record and
andi then whirling up fifteenth
street, soon turned into the con-
of the avenue and mo-
ment later was leisurely riding up
the graveled walk which leads to-
the white house. She went in,
q few moments, and re-
mounted her steed of
steel and rolled rapidly back down
through the crowded avenue.
The object of her visit to the
white house will never be known
TO many whosswondered what she
was after, but it was revealed in
her own words to party ofgentle-
men who were conversing with
4 prominent politician, who
IS a friend of Mrs. Lock-
wood. She said to- this friend,
rs her bicycle was brought to
halt near where the group stood
On a downtown corner, that she
had read that morning how the
president was going to touch off
5he New Orleans exposition. She
thought he might want the assis-
5ance Of the ladies'; that he would
at least desire the presence OF
some of the fair sex at that inter.
esting performance and she had
Just been up to tender her SER
vices. The president received
her cordially, bat said he had just
requested lady to stand by him
as he touched the button. Sof
despite her excellent time, Mrs.
Belva Lockwood arrived just too
ate to procure a place in group
destined to all Immortality that

had been left with young Estes
was noticed to be gone. The
raiders then hitched up, tied the
buggy on behind the wagon and
moved off and proceeded to Bark
Camp, where they were re-enforc-
ed by several citizens, armed with
guns. 1t was about night when
they reached the camp.
Prater was put on his mule and
sent to Gainesville for help. In
the meantime the firing of guns
and general uproar continued.
The raiders went into camp in a
pine thicket and put out sentinels.
The watch was kept up until
NEAR MIDNIGHT
when Prater returned with the
following reinforcing party;
James Findley, Jesse Davis and
John Martin.
Deputy Marshal CASTOR had, in
the meantime, gone to the resi-
dence of Jap Carter, near by, and
summoned him to aid the officers.
1t appears that when the moon
sinners attacked the wagons they
were headed by Anderson Grant,
the owner Of the dlstillery. Grant
took possession of the horse, as
the officers learned, and all the
afternoon and into the night rode
him very hard getting up the
moonshiners of the country. The
horse had been run nearly to
death, as was reported by parties
who saw him.
After help arrived consulta-
ton was held as the best thing to
do. 1t was decided to let a party
remain at the camp and another
squad go out and make an effort
to capture the stolen property,
namely, the horse and the rife.
Just before midnight the party
was
DIVIDED AS FOLLOWS:
To remain in the camp and take
care of the teams:
Revenue Agent Lofand,
Deputy Collector Estes,
Thomas Robinson,
Thomas Robinsen's son, and
A man whose name is unknown.
The party that went out to bat
tie with the moonshiners was then
as follows:
Deputy Marshal CASTOR,
James A. Findley,
Jesse S. Davis,
Jasper Carter,
Alf. Prater, the guide,
John Martin.
When Prater was shot at he saw
the white horse in the possession
of the man who had shot at him.
Clearly, it was desperate un-
dertaking to make a midnight at
tack upon the moonshiners.
GOING INTO FIGHT.
All the men were armed as they
started down the road in which the
moonshiners were known to be.
The party had gone along the
little road about half a mile when
they came upon a body of the
moonshiners. 1t was decided to
wait until the moonshiners came
up and arrest them. The moon
sinners were firing pistols, cursing
and swearing, and by the flashes
of the pistols the white horse
could be seen. After few mo-
ments there was sudden volley
of pistol shots fired in in concert,
and the horse was heard to 90
crashing through the woods. The
moonshiners had literally riddled
him with bullets. The officers
went forward at once then to make
the arrest, if possible. The moon
sinners had gone a quarter of
mile down the road, but in a short
while they we're overtaken by the
raiders. The night was dark and
at the place where the contending
parties met and confronted each
other there was
A HIGH BLUFF
on one side Of the road and a field
on the other. The moonshiners
withheld their fire until the officers
we're within few feet of them
when the flames suddenly belched
forth from several guns right in
the faces of the officers. A bullet

Church Services.

The usual order of church services in
nor-episcopal churches is invocation,
hymn, reading the Scriptures, prayer, no.
tees, collection, sermon, prayer, hymn,
benediction, accompanied by slamming
of pew-doors. Now, according to the
Congrtgationalist, out of three hundred
and fifty churches in Massachusetts, one
hundred and sixty-three have responsive
reading in some form in one hundred
the congregation unites with the pastor
in repeating the Lords Prayer in sixty
five there is chanting in some form, gen.
orally the Glory be to the Father -; and
in ten the Apostles Creed is repeated.
The same changes are observable in
churches of other denominations. Aud
in very many the prayer after the sermon
gives place to the hymn, and then the au.
dience bowling down the last prayer is Of.
fered, the benedction is pronounced, and
short period of silent prayer is observed,
after which the audience quietly disperse.
This is great improvement on the old
time method, ard will be found 80 by any
church adopting it.

that were spoken were uttered with such
tones, or in such a manner, as to be worse
than silence.
Mrs. Forest thought of little Mabel,
and would blame herself for not appre
ciating her dear child, while she was yet
living. She now recalled her many win
some ways, and those sayings also, which
made her wonder how the child could
have known, at her age, so much that was
truly wise. The only solace to her griefs
was, Mabel had been taken away from
the evils that come from a drunken
father, and his wretched home. The
present was dark, and the future for
bidding.
Thus sorrow upon sorrow came to Mrs.
Forest, and great evils we're daily coming
to the inmates of Elsmore cottage. Rum
and other strong drinks were the cause of
all the wretchedness Of those jewellers at
this cottage among the hills.
