MURDER ArA CHURCH.
A Georgia Vendetta That Was Fought Out
During Service.

But before he could, bali went crash

1t was an old feud broken out anew,
and the work of death had commenced, :,
and another chapter in the Georgia

mitted.
The Central Baptist Association was in
session in Bethel Church, near Winifred,
Jasper county, Monday, and n thousand
people we're in attendance. Among the
attendants were representatives of the
Malone and Tyler families. Bad blood
had been existing between them for
years, and they had had bloodless en-
counters three or four times. Sunday after
noon during the erection OF rustic tenn
pie young Malone aud an old Tyler
had words, aud the minister who was
conducting the services, fearing trouble
between the families, sought out tho in
dividual members aud told them not to-
add fuel TO the flame or engage in
trouble at his church services. HIS sue.
cess was limited, Us tho rebuffs with
which he was met took the form of cur.
sec, and with n prayer for peace-for the
good man seemed to have forboding of
trouble-He turned his attention to his
ministerial duties.
All went along smoothly enough until
about IL O'Clock Monday forenoon. Sam
Tyler, in passing Jim Malone, was touch
ed by his elbow, when Tyler, called out
to Malone TO draw and defend himself
accompsn. ing the invitation with pis-
tol shot through the unfortunate Ma
lone's head. Malone fell dead. Tyler,
who, accounts OF the affray say, was under
the iLtluence OF liquor, calmly viewed
his victim, and as he attempted to
turn in the opposite direction, fell dead
fatally shot. Six men had drawn pistole
and were firing. Ed. Tyler rushed TO
the ARRAY and fell with two balls in the
bowels and one in the leg. While he was
lying PROSTATE on his back, still con-
scious, he saw Walker Malone approach
ing pistol in hand.
Spare me, Walker; spare my life. Oh,
God! Oh, God!'
The appeal was fruitless. Standing
over the PROSTATE man Malone fred two
shots into his abdomen-fatai hurts.
Fifty shots were fired. Walker Malone
was painfully wounded in the shoulder,
Albert Taylor was struck in the arm.
Frank Miedlebrook's life was saved by
his watch, ball striking it and falling
in his vest pocket. Others were hurt,
but left the grounds to avoid arrest.

SOAP FROM MOTHER EARTH.

Mines in Nevada With the Ready Made Article
In Nevada there are several deposits of
mineral soap. One of these mas been
worked for three or four years. The
soap is sometimes made up into cakes as
it comes from the mine, but usually il is
toned down by admIxure with various
other soaps. In Dakota and Wyoming
are also de posits of natural soap. In re-
giops where soGa, borax and mineral oils
abound il is only necessary to bling the
ingredients together and soap mine is
the result. Hot springs assist very
materially in uniting aud concentrating
the materials provided 10y nature. The
soap found about hot springs is therefore
generally harder and more perfect than
that produced in the dry way in and
about the basins of extinct lakes. The
waters of Owens aud Mono lakes are 20
thoroughly saturated with borax and
soda in solution that the addition of any
oleaginous matter produces soap. The
waters os Mono lake produce my raids of
grubs that after time become flies, and
are washed ashore and in some places
form beaches foot or two in sp,a.
The oily III alter contained in the grubs
or flies uniting with the alkaii in the
water of the lake, forms a deposit of
soap an inch or two in thickness each
year. Thus in the course OF ages a de-
posit of natural soap of great arpth has
been built up on the east eide OF he al
kali lakes where the worms are stranded
the prevailing winds being from the
west. These peculiar gruos are the only
living things found III the waters of
Mono and Ovens lakes. At certain sea.

Carter Of England attemp pied this in his

he calculated, cost the community 60; the
reduction in the annual death rate from
fever to 4S4 per million from the 1851 60
rate nf 9O8 million represented total
saving of 100000, "but of this no ore
seemed conscious;" while tho annual cost
of scarlet fever at the present time was
100000 year. If, therefore, we conld
trace scarlet fever to definite cause, AS
a bovine disease, communicable by milk,
we could adopt precautions which "would
save the country every year somewhere

conversion of stocks, besides much
misery" Here is new light upon disease.

Pacific Coast Wheat Exports.

The wheat market continues in a very
artificial and abnormal condition, and
Bradstreet's says the exceptional condi
tions sff scting it at Chicago, Minneape-

ports have practically stopped export of
that ceveai from the eastern seaboard,
only about 10000 bushels going abroad
for the six days ending on Friday
from Baltimore, Pniladelphia, Newport
Boston and Montreal. Not a bushel of
wheat ~as sent abroad from the port of
New York last week, and only $4,000
bushels in the previous week. This is
due to the unwillingness of European
buyers to accept the current Chicago

In other words, Europe believes that
American wheat growers aud dc .lers east
OF the Rocky mountains have put the
price of that cereal up too high. To
show that Europe knows where to get
wheat in large Quantities when wanted, it
is only necessary to say that neerly $685..

San Francisco and from Portland, Ore,

Which Is Right?

Mr.. Blaine in speaking of the repeal of
the tax on whisky, says; "Other consider
atoms than those of financial administra-
ton are to be taken into account with re-
gard to whisky. There is moral side
to it,"
Col. Ingersoll says: THE moral ques-
ton of the whole thing is to have the
burden of government rest as lightly as
possible" With Mr.. Blaine there is
moral as well as financial side to this
question, but, according to Col. Ingersoll,
the financial is the only moral side to it.
Again Mr.. Blaine says: "To cheaper
the price of whisky is to increase it's con
sumption enormously" Col. Ingersoll
says it will do nothing of the kind, and
asks if the tax that was put upon whisky
on the start made any difference, and if
any less whisky is drunk now that the
tax is on than there was before it was put
on, adding in words which will never for
get him, even though he should forget
them: II do not think that if the Missis-
sippi river ran pure whisky, and the
banks were loaf sugar, and the flats grew
mint, and the bushes were teaspoons and
tumblers, that there would be ono more
drunken man than now"
Now these are the utterances of tho
Two leading lights IN the Republican
party, One says that there is q moral
Tide to the whisky traffic, aside from the
financial and the other says that the
financial is the only moral side it has.
One says that to cheaper the cost of
whisky is to increase the consumption
enormously, and the other says there
would not be one more drunken man if
whisky was as free and as cheap as the
air we breathe.
Which is right, and which are we to
believe?

NO REGARD FOR LABOR.
Workingmen VIII Not support Harrison
and Morton-Vote for Fisk and Brooks.

The Labor Signal, organ of the work
ingmen in Indiana, says editorially:
The men who made up the Chicago con-
vention appear to have but little regard
for the wishes of organized labor The
nomination of Mr.. Harrison was genuine
surprise to the organized worlingmen of
this state, because their attitude toward
that gentleman is well understood, and it
did not seem possible that convention
of sane men would invite conflict with
large number Of voters in an extremely
doubtful state, by naming candidate so
obnoxious. The readers of this paper
will remember the opposition Mr. Farr-
sons candidacy for the senate aroused two
years ago among the labor organizations
1t found expression in scores of resolu-
tions adopted by assemblies and unions,
many of which were published in The
Signal at the time. This paper opposed
Mr. Harrison's election to the senate for
reasons that would prevent it from sup
porting him now. His public record, in
our judgment, has not been such as to
commend him to the favorable considera-
ton of the people this paper represents.
Hundreds of letters received from repre-
sentative workingmen in this and other
states, indorsing The Signals exposition,
and breathing intense enmity to Mr.. Har-
rlson, are convincing proof that our posi-
ton Is correct, at least from the labor
standpoint. Organized labor will decide
the presidential contest this year, and it
is almost solidly arrayed against Gen.
Harrison. In our judgment Mr.. Harri-
sons defeat is foregone conclusion. A
second source of weakness to the Chicago
ticket is Levi P. Morton, the Wall street
banker 1t looks as if Senator Ingalls, ad-
vice to the Kansas delegation had been

created furious uproar. Boutelle was
cursed right and left, and there were
fierce cries of PUT him out, and He'll
ruin the party" Many of the delegates
were at white heat, and for q time it
looked as though there would be an old
time row, By strenuous efforts quiet was
restored. The delegations saw that it was
only taffy for the teetotalers and adopted
the resolutions. York Sun.
