SHOT DOWN IN COLD BLOOD.
A Young Girl MortalIy Wounded by
Her Desperate Lover.

Young Girl MOrtalIy Wounded by
Her Desperate Lover.
William Roberts, the son of we'll
known farmer of oxford, says a Utica, n.
Y, special of Aug. % to the New York
World, shot and probably fatally wounded
Miss Jennie Tracey, to whom he has been
paying attention for some time, at noon
to-day. Miss Tracey has long been the
village belle, and has had many admirers.
Roberts had been among her most persist
ent suitors and had repeatedly urged the
girl to become his wife. She had given
little encouragement to his suit and re-
Gently, acting in accordance with the eX-
press wishes of her companions, had de-
cIined to receive his attentions and he had
been notified that his visits to Miss
Tracey had keen forbidden by the young
ladv's parents. She had not completed
her education and one objection to her
keeping company with young Roberts,
advanced by her parents, was her eX-
tTeme youth.
Roberts has been frequently heard to
say that if Jennie did not marry him she
would never marry anybody else. but no
attention was paid TO his remarks. To-
day at noon, just as Miss Tracey came
from the Academy, she was approached
by Roberts. She returned his salutation
pleasantly and he walked short distance
by her side. After some commonplace
remarks he turned suddenly towards her
and said in low but earnest tones:
'FWill you be my wife,"
The startled girl with equal firmness
replied quickly but firmly, mo, it cannot
be. will not marry you"
Roberts at once drew revolver from
nic yoalxof and taking dplibprqfn aim fired
at the defenseless girl. The ball entered
just below the left eye, crashing through
the head and lodging in the base of the
brain.
Miss Tracey, without uttering a word,
fell to the sidewalk, from which she was
raised and taken to her home. 1t is
thought that her wound is mortal though
she was alive at a late hour this evening.
Roberts made no attempt to escape and
was at one placed under arrest. He was
remarkably cool and collected and offered
no explanation for his murderOus act ca
cept the fact of Miss Tracey's refusal to
become his wife.
The parents of the unfortunate victim
are frenzied with grief, and the indigna-
ton of the community at the atrOclous
act is such that it is not improbable that
Roberts will be taken from the Jail and
lynched.s Upon being placed in a cell he
seemed for the first time to realize the
enormity of his crime, and, Selling a
small penknife, inflicted one or two tri-
fling wounds on himself, in order, it is
thought, to carry out the idea that he was
insane when he tired the fatal shot.
At late hour tonight crowds of eX-
cited men were gathered on the streets
discussing the tragic affair, and there
were open threats of hanging the would
be murderer. -

THE BUTLER CA
A Story of the General whf Exp
his Position FulIy&

his HOSIGlOn
The question of the day here, says q
Washington special is, which party will
Gen. Butler smite hardest? Blaine mer
say they believe he will damage Cleveland
most, and Cleveland men, with less conf.
dence, perhaps, say Blaine will fare
worst. Both sides profess to hope that
Butler will hold on and make good can
vass for the good he will do them, each
being confident of deriving the greatest
advantage. Butler himself has beer
questioned to find out what he thinks and
what his wishes are. The General never
leaves a single doubt in the minds of his
questiOners about his holding on.
AS for the rest he relates story as fol
lows: a married couple, somewhat ad.
vanced in years, took passage on a Hud'
son river boat for Albany. The husband
was a loving one in his way and his being
grabbed at times did not make any differ
ence with the ways Of his wife, who was
as affectionate as a wife should be. On
the way up the river the husband had the
misfortune to fall overheard. AS he went
over he caught a rope which dan.
gled by the boats side. The speed of the
boat caused him to bob up and down in
the water, his head now in and now out,
the good wife in the greatest alarm cry
ing out: "Hold on, husband! Hold on
for my sake!' the injunction to hold on
for her sake being particularly empha-
sized. AS soon as the boat slowed and
the half-drowned husband could gain
breath he shouted back: "Hold your
tongue, you fooll Don't you suppose Pll
hold on for my own sake?"
The General adds that while he doesn't
consider himself overheard in the condi-
ton of the husband, he intends to hold on
for his own sake, and he suggests that the
party leaders cease their unnecessary en-
coGragements to him and pay attention
to their own affairs.

An Opening for a Furniture Fac

tory.
Workers in ornamental wood work say
that yellow pine, hard finished in oil. is
the rival in beauty Of any wood that
grows. They DO not except the eostliest of
the hard species. Yellow pine is suscep-
tible of receiving and maintaining as high
a degree OF polish as any known WOOD
and has the advantage of being almost in
destructible when impregnated with Oil.
1t has another great advantage which
maple. white pine and various other
woods do not possess. 1t is that hot
grease and other substances do not
stain it.
The good qualities of yellow pine are
mentioned, not because it is thought they
are not generally known, but to suggest
that a factory for the manufacture of the
finer grades Oh furniture would be pay
ing institution in this section of Georgia.
There is reason TO think that such fac
tory in this city would pay, and If it
would paw here it certainly would pay in
a town like Waycross or ThOnasTille or
dozen other towns that could be readily
named.
Yellow pine in South Georgia is practi-
cally inexhaustible, and it can be had
very cheaply. No finer yellow pine tim
Der can be found anywhere. The advan-
tages OF this wood for furniture are be-
coming so generally appreciated that it is
a wonder that furniture factory hasn't
already been established in some one OF
the abOve-named towns.
There is no occasion to doubt that such
an enterprise would pay. In Georgia and
Florida there is a growing demand for the
better grades of furniture. Northern fac
tories almost wholly supply this demand
now. But why should the Northern fac
tories be depended upon, when all the con-
ditiOns for manufacturing furniture are
so favorable hereI The only thing want
ing perhaps is skilled labor, and how long
would it take to secure that?

Edmunds' Portentous silence.

The Republicans of Vermont appear to be
considerably worried over the position OF
senator Edmunds. 1t is reported that at the
recent meeting Of the State Committee this
feeling took form in the appointment Of a
committee to wait on the Senator and ask
him to make a speech in support OF the noml-
nations. The men appointed for this purpose
declined to act. when three others were chosen
in turn. ali of whom followed the fashion and
declined to undertake a mission so delicate.
As a consequence the cat of Vermont politics
