OFFICER McMURRAY SHOT,
An Unacoountable Assault Upon Tw
Policemen in Yamacraw,

An Unacoountable Assault Upon Two
Policemen in Yamacraw.
Civilization has not dawned yet on the
extreme southern portion of Yamacraw.
Yesterday a policeman was shot there by
two struggling negroes, who found no other
use for their weapon.
Officers McMurray and Maher went on
duty in Yamacraw few minutes before |
O'Clock yesterday morning, and they were
remarklng how quiet the "Craw" was. when
two negroes passed them on the street. The
ioificers were standing at the corner of Farm
and Indian streets. The negroes went up
Farm street In a few minutes they re-
.turne1, and, passing the officers again,
stopped within ten yards of where they
were standing and began shooting at them.
Both men ran upon the negroes after the
second shot was fired. Officer Maher fol
lowed in pursuit and fired once, but the
thugs escaped.
Officer McMurray was shot in the head.
The ball entered the skin just above the
forehead, over the left ear, and came ont
behind the ear. The skull was not touched,
and the wound is not considered at all dan
gerous. The officer was taken to tho bar
racks. and DR.. Drummer was summoned and
dressed the wound. He said that if the ball
had entered half an inch lower it would
have passed through the brain.
McMurray is confined to his room by the
wound. He said that the negroes were not
intoxicated. The were no shops or liquor
saloons open in the neighborhood. He had
never had any trouble with anybody in
{ Yamacraw and could not understand why
the negroes shot him. He describes the
negroes as about fset IL and feet inches
in hight. One was chubby and heavy set
man and was very black, while the other
was very small. Detectives are working on
been arrested.

REBATE ON JUrE BAaa1No.
Cotton Exporters Get a Drawback OF
30 Per Cent.


1t does not appear that the tariff on the
secondhand bagging will amount to much
after all. if the same plan is worked with the
secondhand bagging as with the new. 1t
has been the custom to pay s. per ton duty,
but there is an application made for draw
back on bagging usei AZ a covering for cot
ton, accompanied with the oath OF the ex-
porter that to the best of his knowledge and
belief it is manufactured solely from i'm
ported jute butts, and he gets drawback
of 81 so per ton-in other words, the gov
ernment virtually gets a 10 per cent duty
in the end.
A custom house official, in reviewing tae
matter yesterday, said that he could see no
reason why the drawback cannot be claimed
indefinitely in each shipment until the bag
ging is worn cut.
The decision of Secretary Fairchild, that
the secondhand bagging, if to be used for
cotton covering, must pay duty. does not
seem to have been revoked, although it is
claimed that it applies only TO bagging of
American growth" and manufacture. As
a matter of fact, there is no bagging jute Of
American growth.

day for the relief of the yellow fever suf-
ferers. Very little information can be OBJ
tanned of the spread of the disease in Fer

Gated that the people are in great need of
help.

tributions when they are needed.

FALLACY OF FAITH CURE.
A Young Lady Near Guyton About

A Young Lady Near Guyton About to
Die for Lack of Proper treatment.
The fallacy of depending upon the So
callel faith cure is exemplified by the re.
ports from the neighboring town of Guyton.
1t appears that an estimable young lady put
herself under the treatment of a female
friend, q year ago, who had become a con
vert TO the faith cure while visiting in Bos.
ton. The confiding patient continued in her
faith, but got no better; IN fact she grew
worse from day to-day until her case had
assumed such gravity that a physician was
summoned, but after he had made a dag.
no,is, he informed the family that while be
might have saved or prolonged the life OF
his patient if called ia earlier, it is now toe
late TO hope tor relief. The case has at
tracted considerable attention on account OF
the prominence of the parties.
