Terrible asd Fatal Bowie Knife Con,ba

Near shelby, NC.
SHELBY, Jan. 8.-A terrible and fatal knife
combat took place about 10 miles from here
yesterday. For some years past vendetta
has existed between the Lepaugh and Runyam
families, both of which have large connections,
Philip Lepaugh was this morning driving his
wagon to Paw mill, when Craige Runyam,
accompanied by b is father and brother, made
an attack upon him. They pulled Lepsugh
from his wagon and cut and hacked him with
bowie knives, inhictipg terrible wounds. They
left him for dead in the road. AS they wers
fleeing, the wounded mau's two sone-in-law
came up, and he urged them to follow his
murderers and ayenge his death. They im-
mediately galloped after and overlook the
Runvam party. A desperate han6-to-band
conflict ensued. G. McSwaim and Reuben
and Joseph Runyam were soon lying in the
road with CHASTITY wounds. Masters McSwaim
and Craige Runyam were the last two 10
stand up, and they cut each other literally in
shreds. The former, early in the conflict
had his left eye cut from the socket. Some
farmers came up in time to see them groyel-
ling in the road, cutting at each orher, al
though they had not strength enough to stand
up. Last accounts state that none of the par
ties ara alive,

SOUTHERN SUFFERERS.
Results of the Recent Cold Weather in
Georgia.

ATLANTA, Ca, Jan. 8.-The severe weather
OF the past week caused great suffering among
the poor. On Saturday it was learned that
hundreds of poor women and children were
huddling around their last burning stick of
wood, and the Constitution of Sunday morn
ing made an appeal to the citizens to send to
the office of that paper money, provisions and
fuel, which would be distributed by its busi-
ness department.; At noon there were gather.
ed together about 60 wagons, containing wood
and provisions. Merchants worth hundreds of
thousands of dollars took their places as driv-
'ers, each with a wood wagon and provision
wagon under his charge, and started on tour
of the city, working all day until nightfall. To-
night the weather is bitterly cold, vet the
sting has been taken out of it. The valne of
the provisions distributed is between So, 900
and $4,000. No distinction was made in the
distribution in regard to color.

FINANCIAL.
Condition of Boston Bnuk,

BosToN, Jan. 8.-Today is bank day in this
city and vicinity and the various institutions
are holding annual meetings. The reports
presented by the directors while showing the
banks in fairly prosperous condition, are not
quite as favorable as year ago, owing to the
heavy failures of last summer coming as they
did in quick succession and bringing losses to
many institutions. This condition Of things,
however, resulted in a general overh auling by
the officers of the institutions, of papers, col
lsteral and other assets and the destruction of
all OF doubtful character. Extraordinary
precautionary measures have been adopted
and the general policy has been made much
more conservative. The result of this has been
the prevention, in very large measure, of
further financial troubles.s
