KIIIed by az. Adopted Son.

ATLANTA, Ga, June 12.-Hon. S. Z.
Fields, state senator from the Forty
third district. was shot and instantly
killed at his home, eight miles west of
Dalton, at an early hour this morning
by an adopted son, named Dennis
Taylor, 20 years of age. They were
feeding the stock, and Mr.. Fields
charged Taylor with some neglect and
threatened to whip him, and proceeded
to put the threat into execution, when
the boy, who thought he was too large
to be whipped, retreated to the house,
followed by Mr.. Fields, who had a
switch. The boy took loaded shot
gun from the rack and turned on Mr..
Fields, who followed him to the porch.
When in six feet of him the load was
discharged into the left side of Mr..
Fields neck, almost severing the head.
Mr.. Fields staggered backward and
exclaimed, ''Oh, you have shot me!''
The boy threw down the gun and
caught him and laid him down gently.
and called someone to help, saying he
had shot Mr.. Fields.
Mr.. John Edmonson, nephew of Mr..
Fields. found the boy standing in a
quivering attitude over the body which
was lifeless. The boy made no effort
to escape and was taken IN charge by
| Mr.. FdmonSon and placed in Jail.
The boy was taken to the asylum
some two years ago by Mr.. Fields in a
demented condition. He only re-
manned two weeks and ran away and
came back to Mr.. Fields, where he has
since resided. He has spells of the
same nature at intervals, and when
pursued by Fields it is thought the ex-
element was too great to overcome
and in his passion he took the life OF
his friend and guardian.

manned up to the last, but they are now
moving off as fast as means of trans
portation are afforded them by that
large-hearted national charity which
has led countries and islands to re-
move their destitute fellow country
men from the Isthmus. In all, up
wards of 1900 Jamaicans have been
sent back to Jamaica, and so in pro-
portion those of other countries have
been removed by the international
feeling of charity which has moved of
our international canal workers. Mat
tiers of course are dull as can be, and
the city of Panama has resumed that
quiet appearance it wore over twenty
years ago.

Murder Ora NIiniat. RS Son.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, June IA
Joseph Smith, son of Rev. Jonathan
Smith, of Roanoke county was shot and
instantly killed yesterday by Joseph
Cummins, a neighDor. 1t seems that
Cummins accused Smith with being too
intimate with his wife and approached
him about it. Smith indignantly de-
MED the charge and the two men had
some high words. Smith turned liDal-
ly and walked away when Cummins
went into his house and came out with
his rifle. Taking deliberate aim at
Smith he shot him through the back.
Smith pitched forward on his face and
never moved again. Cummins was ar
rested and taken to the Jail at Spencer,
where he is now confined. There is a
great deal of excitement among the
people in the vicinity, where Smith was
great favorite, and there are fears
that Cummins may be lynced.

SURPERIoR, Wis, June lS.-A ter
rible fire is sweewing the FORESTS
south and west of here, and unless the
weather changes soon, the loss will be
enormous. Already over half a mil
lion dollars worth of pine have been
destroyed. The districts tributary to
the Nemadji and st. Louis rivers in
Wisconsin and Minnesota are suffering
terribly. The smoke from the burn
ing districts is obscurinR the sun and
rendering difficult the enarance of
vessels into the harbor. Much of the
pine on the CIoquet reservation is al
ready wiped out. A strong south
west wind is blowing and rural towns
are threatened with destruction. The
fire is raging from the st. Croix to the

MOreTroubIe as JOhnstOwn.

JoHNsTowN, sumo l3.-The first real
work under the supervision of the
state commenced this morning at six
o'clock. The whistle at the Cambria
Iron and Steel works was the signal
for the men to commence, and about
! 500 started in with their picks and
shovels. The early morning was warm
and cloudy, and the fumes and odorS
from the decayed bodies was some
thing almost unbearable. As the
morning advanced the weather grew
warmer and by ten O'Clock the sun
was shining brightly and every one on
ing the morning a crowd of
worthless lOafers in some manner Sc
cured An entrance to the town and
wanted to inaugurate a strike
among the Workmen. Some of
the labores were already dissatisfied at
having new bosses over them and
wanted chance TO complain. James
A. Mcknight of PIttsburg, one OF the
state contractors, got wind OF the
trouble brewing and went among the
men and informed them that he would
have no kicking, and that all the men
who wished to quit would have to do
so Immediately, and about one hun
dred of the men left, but the loaferS
remained around and Mcknight went
to General Hastings and demanded
protection for the men. A detach-
ment of militia from the 14th regiment
were detailed to the place and they
drove away all the men who refused
to work. This caused General Hast
ings to issue an order TO the soldiers
not to admit any one to JohnstOwn
without an order. The business men
of the town seemed to have awakened
to their senses and this morning a
number of them were preparing to
start over again in business. Two gro
Gerry stores were started near the Penn
sylvania railroad freight station. Both
places were doing land Office business
and this encouraged other merchants
to start up, and the probabilities are
that inside of week at the latest u
hundred stores will be in operation.
Already two barber shops and one jew
elry store has been opened.

YOUNGSTOWN, Pa, June l4.-The rain

Wreckage at the stone bridge, which

stops soon that invaluable work will
also come to standstlll. The crowd
around the commissaries, which seem
to increase with each day, are mud

flesh, which was unbearabIe last night,
is scarcely noticeable. General Hast

Schaller wished to recover possession
of her child and applied to Mrs White

NEW YORK, June 13.-Intelligence
from Jamaica of the date of June 6,
substantlates the London report Of
Hippolyte's victory and Legitime's de-
feat. Legitime has sought the protec-
ton of the American consul at Port
au-Prince. Hippolyte's officers had
entered Port-au-Prince and taken pos
session of the town. The victorious
warrior, however, is not popular with
the people generally, and could prob
ably never be president of the Black
Republic by the vote of the inhabi-
tants. A man named Mariann, Leg
times minister of foreign affairs, or an
ex-president of the Republic would
doubtless appear as the next candidate
for the presidency.
