A GEORGIA sHooTING.BEE.
An Elopement Near Atlanta Followed By
q Bloody Tragedy-Three Men
Killed.



A bloody tragedy occurred at late hour
this afternoon on Davis street. resulting in
three men being MORALLY wounded and two
happy families broken up. John Maxwell
is prominent fresco contractor in this
city. He has son, Matthew Maxwell, who
is carriage builder. and three handsome
and attractive daughters. The second one.
Miss Ida, beautiful brunette, for some
time has been engaged, against the will of
the family, to John r. Shelton, a we'll
known young man of this city. This after
noon Matthew Maxwell learned that
ut o'clock Shelton would be at
the family residence for the pur-
pose of taking Miss Ida away and
making her his wife. To prevent this,
he went home at the hour named. and upon
arriving there found the house locked up.
After several Intellectual attempts to get in,
he broke down the door and entered. He
found Miss Ida within with her hat on, as
If ready to 60 out Seeing that she was
determined, the brother put her in a room
on the second floor, locked her up. and
then left to find his father, and inform him
of what was going ON. Returning in ten
minutes he found that his sister had es-
capped. Young Maxwell started out to hunt
his sister, and soon learned that she had
been married to Shelton by the Rev. Virgil
Norcross. Continuing the search, Maxwell
and his father visited the residence
of Skeletons mother. AS they ap-
preached they saw Shelton standing
Just inside the doorway. Father and son in
an excited manner advanced. and Shelton
met them with large claw hammer in his
hand. The old man opened the fight, and
as Shelton struck at him with the hammer
the son sprung in between. The hammer
came down with much force upon Matthew
Maxwell's head, crushing his skull fearfully.
Instantly two pistol shots were heard, and
the father and Shelton fell MORALLY wound-
ed on young Maxwell's bleeding form. The
father was found shot in the abdomen and
Shelton in the left side. While the three
men were lying on the ground in group,
with the life blood flowing rapidly from
their wounds, the bride fell on them, kiss
ing first one and then another The at
tending physicians say that young Max
well will not live an hour, while the father
and Shelton may live day or two.

Mr.. Larrabeee's Opening Speech in
Iowa.

During the active canvass that pre-
coded the nomination of Mr.. Larrabee
as the Republican candidate for Cover
nor OF Iowa no attacks whatever were
made on him, and it was generally con-
coded by Democrats as well as Repub-
icans that his record was invulnerable.
After eighteen years service in the
State Senate there was not even sus-
picion that he had ever been connected
with any kind of legislative jobbery,
nor could it be shown that during that
long period of activity he was an advo-
cate or supporter of unwise measures.
There was nothing in his record that
called for explanations or apologies.
Throughout his public life he had been
an honest, prudent, and diligent SER
want of the people. The only thing al
legged against him was that he was not
o brilliant stump speaker" and could
not tickle the ears of the groundlings
with the sound.and fury of electioneer-
ing oratory. IL appears, however, from
his speech of acceptance before the
convention that he is able to talk sound
sense in very instructive and forcible
manner This brief speech shows Mr..
Larrabee to be man of ripened iudg-
ment and sound views-one whose ar
guments ought to command the respect
OF all who are capable of understand
ing them.
Mr.. Larrabee's brief speech was de.
voted mostly to State matters, but il
left no doubt that he is sound Ma
tional Republican. He asked his hear
ers whether they expected to strength
en- the nation or increase the prosperity
of the people by an advocacy of the
sovereignty heresies that have
given rise to the worst evils ever known
In the United States. Testing the
Democratic party either by its theories
