SHOT IN THE BACK.
A Well-knOWn Business Man
Killed at Fulton, ny.

FULTON, KY, May 29.-On Thurs
day evening last, about da'k, Mr.. w.
W. Meacham shot and killed Mr.. ]. T.
Lyle at the drug store of McClain &
Co., in this city. The difficulty grew
out of bad feeling about non-psy-
ment of rent. Mr.. Meacham was his
bio'hers sgent, and as such had
called on Lyle sew raj times for rent
due, and finally served written notice
upon him, demanding payment or the
house after the usual form. This
seems to have incensed Lyle, who &C.
Cordingly, about 8 o'clock Thursdsy
exening, called Meacham, who was
passing, into the drug store.
MeaChsm went into the store in
response to the call, and Lyle
at once commenced cursiDg
him, using the most bitter oaths and
epithets Known to the dictionary OF
profanity OF the lingo of billingsgate,
shaking his fist under his nose, etc
Altthis Meacham seemed to take" at
the time; when he got home his wife
informed him that the matches were
out, end IS supper was not yet ready,
he went hack 10 McC. & Co.'s drug
store to get some, when Lyle invited
him to go back to the back end of the
store, say ing, "Meachsm, come back,
end let us settle that matter now"
Meschsm assented, both started back,
Lyle in advance. When Lyle had al
most reached the prescription case,
which is in the rear end of the store,
Meachs IN about four feet behind him,
Mr.. Me cham drew pistol and COM
menced firing upon Lyle, firing
several times, three shots taking
effect. One shot striking in the
heshy part of the right thigh, another
struck him on the right side, just be-
low the shoulder blade, and the third
and fatal shot entered between the
sixth and seventh lib on the left side,
piercing the heart and fIactur ng the
seventh rib on the opposite side, pro-
ducing instant death.
Meecham went out near the rail-
road track opposite the Green House,
and commenced reloading his pistol,
when Officer Pullin came up and took
charge of him.
The above statements are in accord
ance with the evidence taken by the
coroner's jury. Both men stood well
in the community.

JUDGE LEA OF HAYWOOD
THE FAVORITE FOR THE SU-
PREME COURT.
The Candidates for Circuit Judge
Glass a Candidate for Re.EIec-
ton TO CSDErsss-The Crops.



ToULeN, TENN May go People in
this neighborhood are making great
preparations for the Baptist Sunday
School Convention at Woodlawn
church to morrow and next day.
J. I. Fargason and family of Mem
phis have taken quarters at their fine
summer resort few miles from this
place
Hogs are dying y this section. 1t is
predicted there will be g eat mortality
among them, owing to the buffalo
Rnats. Every year the gnats come
hogs die in great numbers after they
have gone.
Joe Sternberger and Thomas KlyCe
of Brownsville were here to day. They
are buying cattl- through tbs country.
The ladies and geotlem of this
and the Carolina neighborhood had
deligh full ice-cream and strawberry
supper at James ID. Reeds Friday
night.
The cotton prospect is good in this
portion of Haywood county. The
stand is better than for many years,
and there is not near as much as usual
dying out" Many crops are worked
out the first time. The plsnt looks
healthy and gorous. Corn looks
very well, and is in very good condi-
dition. Some complaining is going
on vet. Wheat and oats are consid-
cred good, and harvesting of wheat
will soon commence. Hands are
working very well and do not seem to
be disturbed much about politics.
There will be county convent on
at Brownsville TO morrow to appoint
delega es to the Judicial Convention
at Mckenzie and the convention at
Nashville to nominate Supreme Court
Judges. Haywood county has a can
didate for Circuit Judge and At orney
General, and it is very likely the del
egation will be solid for them. From
reliable news it seems that A. G. Estes
of Brownsville will get the nomination
for Circuit Judge Haywood county
will be solid for him, and Gibson
county, one of the LARGEST counties in
the district, is understood to be for
him, and with his larger support in
many other counties, it is believed he
will certainly get the nomination.
The Office of Judge is a very impor-
tant one, and lass long time, and a
good man ought to be nominated,
Estes would fiji the bill, and would
adorn the bench. Judge Lea of this
county seems to be a iavorits for the
Supreme bench, and his success is
almost certain.
There is not much t'lk about the
Congressional race. Glass is a can
didate for reelection, it is said. He
is busy at Washington, and attends to
his Congressional duties. see he is
working hard to get $4,000 appropri-
ated to improve North Forked Deer
river. His speech in Congress on the
improvement of the Mississippi river
meets with general approval among
his constituents. Glass has the repu-
tation of being one of the hardest
workers ever sent to Congress from
the Ninth District.

The salvation Army Congress.

LONDON, May 29.-Ths Sllvaton
Army Congress opened in this city to-
day. 1t will ZEN avn in session a week.
Two thousand officers aud many thous-
snds of soldiers of the army from all
parts of tina world are present. A
breakfast was given to the delegates
this morning in Exeter Hall, which
was crowded to its fullest capacity.
At to-dsy's meeting Gen. Booth,
commander OF the Salvation Army, in
an addre S, gave statistics shown the
work performed by the organization
during the past year. He said that
Great Britain alone had contributed
100000 to the army's tressur Ten
thousand girls had been rescued from
life in the streets and 100 of the poor
and friendless had been established
and put in working order. The prison
brigade, the general said, was doing
good work. Delegate Smith, from the

army's work in America and greatly
moved the audience by his thrilling
stories of souls saved.
A Canadian delegate said he regret
ted that Canada had not given to the
army portion of the money which
the Dominion spent in killing the Riel
rebels. 1t the money had been given
to the army the rebels might all have
been converted and saved, and Riel
himself might have been now a major
in the army.
Miss Booth testified the French ard
Swiss members of the army were
amorg the most solid and devoted
workers it pose essed but that they
lacked fGT II, and the urged the

that the boiler of the engine had
burst and the engine lay on the track
