BLOODY SHOOTING AFFAIR.
Distressing Ending OF a QuarrcI In
Country Store.

The people living In the neighborhood Of
Miler's store, which Is six miles from Mat
thews Courthouse, in that county. have
been very much excited over q difficulty
that recently occurred between Mr. John
Adams, q merchant doing business at that
point, and Mr.. Herbert Jones, OF Essex.
Both are young men about the same age, OF
fine physique, and are well connected.
IL appears that on Tuesday night be-
tween the hours Of and 10 o'clock Jones,
who 1t il thought had been drinking, went
TO the store OF Adams aud called for half
pint OF whiskey. which was measured out
and placed upon the counter Dy Adams.
Jones then turned to Adams ana invited
him to drink with him, which invitation
was declined. After having drank near
about half OF the liquor ordered by him,
Jones asked Adams how old he was. Adams
told him his age, and rs he did so Jones
remarked that Adams had better say bis
prayers, for he intended TO "pop him." at
the same time drawing a cooked pistol
from his side-pocket and pointing 1t IN the
direction OF Adams. who Immediately
seized q double-barrelled shotgun from
behind the counter and fred at Jones, the
shot striking him in the face, knocking out
his teeth. breaking the lower iawbone, and
carving away the greater portion OF his
nose and tongue. and putting out both
eyes. The report Of the gun was heard by
n negro who was near by, and who started
for the spot as soon as he heard the report.
On reaching the store he saw Mr.. Jones on
the floor in front OF the counter. wetering
in his blood. and inquired OF Mr.. Adams
who shot him. The answer was, ~ did,
and want you to go at once to the nearest
magistrate and tell him about it." After
an absence OF short time the negro re-
turned, accompanied by the magistrate.
when Mr.. Adams gave himself up and an
investigation was had, which resulted in
Adams being bailed for his appearance be-
fore the grand jury in the sum OF $4,000.
There was no one but the principals pre-
sent at the time OF the difficulty. Jones
was taken to friends house near by,
where. Thursday morning, Drs. John H..
Savers and Luther Hundley. his physicians,
stated that there was no hope OF his re-
coyery.
Jones is about twenty-seyen years OF age,
and single. He was on visit to friends in
the neighborhood, and it is believed that
he and Adams were not on friendly terms.
1t is said they had had little to do with
each other for some length Of time, owing
to n difficulty that occurred between them.

A DETERMINED SUICIDE.
First the Knife; that Failing. Jump
from a High Window.

Wilson Il. Coots, white inmate OF the
City-Almshouse hospital. committed sui
eide yesterday morning.
The deceased was q wldower, siXty-three
years Of age, and plasterer by trade. He
was suffering with cancer OF the eye and
other diseases quite as bad, and had en-
dured great pain; but OF late was thought
to be improving somewhat.
Nevertheless he was greatly dispirited
and had said that he believed he would
end his miserable life; but such remarks
made no impression upon those who heard
them. They were taken rs the natural
outbursts OF man In his condition Of life,
called upon to endure such pains as he had.
Early yesterday morning Coots borrowed
milestone, and with II made blade Of
his pocket-knfe very sharp. When the
nurse came INTO the hospital to dress his
face he was missing. The nurse being told
that Coots had shortly before been seen
going up stairs, and hearing some noise
up there, followed after him, and in room
generally used as store-room found
Coots's knife on pillow and pool Of
blood on the floor. Coots, however. was
nowhere to be seen. A window, very
small one, in the room was open.
In the mean time, however. Coots's
body was found on the ground some forty
feet below the window.
The Coroner, who viewed the body,
learned that it was found about g O'Clock.
The skull was not fractured. Death was
probably caused by breaking the neck or
from conclusion.
He had attempted to cut his throat, and
had made an ugly cash on the right side,
but the knife entered over the jugllar
vein. 1t is surmised that having failed to
kill himself by this means, and hearing the
nurse coming after him, he resolved to
crawl ont OF the window, and thus court
certain death.
Deceased had several children, and the
body was turned over to them for burial.
