ried into that place 200 Jugs that, as
witty friend s1ys, "did lot all contain

deal OF drunkenness. But Atlanta
WAS not a'oue. The same company
carried from this city to neighboring
prohibition towns 2529 jugs, ranging
from quarts to two gallous, 100 keRs,
equivalent to 5000 quart jugs and thirty
barrels, equivalent to 4sC0 quart juss.

LITTLE Rock, ARK, December 27.-
News reached this city today from
Maj. John d. Adams, Cowpell town
ship plantation, fifteen miles below
here, OF fearful tragedy enacted there
late yesterday evening. The principal
sctor was Robert Sheppard, colored, a
church worker and a "gotl msn"
generally, who struck his stepdaugh-
ter, Matte Griggs, on the side OF the
head with an ak, aim ct killing her,
and then shot himself through the
hesrt with gun. Coroner ]. b. Bond
was sent for to investigate the horri-
BILE affair. A number Cf witnesses
were sworo, all of whose testimony
went to show that Sheppard had been
on terms of Illicit intimacy with his
stspdaughter, she being the mother Of
three illegitimats children and it
bsing understood in the community
that Sheppard was their fsther, not
withstandiDg he had a lawful wife.
The corOnei's verdict WAS that Shep,
pard came to his death from guushot
wounds caused by himself with sui
Cidal intent, and left word with
friends of the wounded woman to
bury her SO soon GB life became ex-
tinct without sending for him, as her
slayer was already dead.

TnR death Of Gen. John A. Logan
removes from the field OF American
politics a notable figure. He was by
nature ardent and impetuous, some
times intemperate, and therefore made
enemies among his fellow Republicans
as we'll as among Democrats. To the
South, ever since the war, he was bit
ter and implacable, and he largely
based his national strength upon his
ability to surpass Mr.. Blaine, the
present custodian Of the bloody shirt.
But we have survived his rancor and
can easily forgive an over zeal, much
of which was due to personal causes.
Gen. Logan was perhaps the ablest OF
the volunteer soldiers of the Federal
army during the civil war, and ross TO
well deserved rank and distinction.
He could be brave oven TO ,rashneFs,
but tempeIing this Characteristic by
discretion, he made an able com.
mander and was much beloved by his
officers and men. His death m axes a
clean field for Blaine, who has now no
opponent for the Presidency among
Republicans that he need fear.
