Especial Correspondence of the Leader
GREENvILLE, MISS, June 10.-On
July 9TH, 1888, Rising Sun, q small
landing on the Yazoo River, and de-
pot on the Y. g. NJ. v. Railroad, sud
denly sprang into notoriety. Its fame
was heralded by the "whang" of the
Winchester and the ''neigh" of colts
40 calibre and the boom of breech-
leaders. To use highly original
phrase, when the smoke of battle
cleared away, Ivey and Aston lay
dead, Henry McCarty had five bullet
holes through him and Ben McCarty
had received one pistol shot.
Whitworth, Hoskins and Mclean were
indicted by the Leflore grand jury and
owing to the intense feeling in that
county, change of venue was OBJ
tanned to this county. At this term
of court a severance was demanded
and the State elected to try Whit,
worth first. A jury of more than or
binary intelligence has been obtained.
There is no suspicion of foul play or
stocked jury entertained. The States
theory is that WhitwOrth, Hoskins
and Mclean conspired to kill Ben
and Henry McCarty, and in the at
tempt to kill them casualties resulted
as above.
The facts developed thus far point
to business rivalry between Whit
worth and the McCartys over ferries
owned by each. Whitworth ordered
the McCarty's to discontinue their fer
ry and on their failure to do so, he, in
company with Ike Hoskins and Dan
Mclean went to the McCarty's place
of Observation-Disclosures armed with
a shotgun and As calibre pistol, Hos
kins with Winchester and Mclean
with shotgun. After a few words
between Whitworth and Ben McCarty,
WhitwOrth opened fire with his pis-
tol, shooting McCarty in the arm.
McCarty ran, pursued by Whitworth.
After McCarty ran few steps, he
turned and fired, but owing to the
paralysis in his arm was unable to get
his pistol on line. During the fusil-
AIDE, Ivey and Aston were killed,
both being shot in the back of the
head. Henry McCarty after being
shot, ran 3 or 400 yards into cotton
field and stopped. Whitworth saw
him and shot him through his body at
that distance, and thinking he had
killed him went in search of Ben Me
Carly.
Only two witnesses have been ex-
amined and these are about the facts
adduced. The theory of the defense
is that the McCarty's and others had
conspired to kill them and brought
on the attack.
The case is exciting great interest
and some feeling. Able counsel rep
resent both the State and defense,
for the former Hooker & Wilson, of
Lexington, Rush & Gardner, of
Greenwood, Wynn, Thomas & Griffin,
of Greenville and District Attorney
Parish; for the latter, Judge Cassidy,
of Brookhaven, Col. Nelson, of
Woodville, Edgar Cowan, of Licking
ton, Coleman g. Liddell, of
Greenwood, j. NJ. Jayne, ii.
c. Watson, j. +. Harris & Isaac
Schlessinger, of Greenville.

New Haven a Favored City-Enterprise
 of . New Haven Florlst-New York
 Prices.
 The New Haven public are fortunate in having florist of such characteristic and unwesrying enterprise as George A. Dioker- man. Every day he carries stock of the choicest roses at his greenhouses which is certainly magnificent. It is wonder by visitors to New Haven that 80 large a stock can be found in a city of New Haven's size, but MT. Dickerman supplies largely the retail trade and large proportion of the roses sold in New Haven, while his patrons always can obtain what they want in roses and other cut flowers equally as well as if they lived in the metropolis itself and at even lower prices than the same flowers are retailed for in New York. His stock of elegant cut flowers Is worthy of all praise. Mr. Dickerman's gener- osity to all charitable work in New Haven is proverbial. He contributes hundreds of dol lars' worth in this way gratuitously every year. Give him 8 bumper for his Christmas trade. He will supply the largest array of flowers ever seen in New Haven and he is now receiving orders from all parts for holly mas trees, of which he has grand array soon to arrive for his patrons. Look at the array of lovely English primroses, charming to be- hold in his conservatories. The magnificent floral piece at General Smiths funeral repre- sentinR all the grades of rank the deceased occupied, was made|at two hours notice and was a piece of work unexcelled in the State.
 Aarkdown sales are considered eheatnuts. but to get clothing at manufactuyers' prices and a Christmas present of an elegant Swiss watch is Q new wrinkle. Be sure and take anvantags of this ct Geeley's great sale of Boston clothing, S55 Chapel street, New Ha- ven Conn.

Caught in . Storm or Arecibo 1t Was
 Dashcd Against she Rough Porto Ri-
 c0an Coast.
 A New Haven brig, the Thomas Turull, was wrecked at midnight Saturday off the coast of Arecibo, Porto Rico. The vesael and cargo are wholly lost. The vessel was owned by the Armstrong;. She made many voy- ages to this port, and was always employed in the West India trade, bringing in sugar and molasses, and returning with breadstuHs, provisions, hoop-poies. staves, etc.
 Areeibo Is one of the principal ports of Porto Rico, and an important point for the loading of sugar and molasses. There are no wharves for large vessels and the cargoes are carried to and from the trading vessels in the island boats. The Turull was at ana chor awaiting the completion of her return ing cargo of West Indian products. when q sudden storm came up. The vessel went on to rough shors, and, pounding heavily in tho breakers, was demolished. For long distance up and down the coast the wrecked material from the old brig, and portions of | the cargo, was strewn. Tho crew had . narrow escape from perishing, but fortunate ly they were rescued. The vessel was thirty years old, strong and staunch, and had a l capacity of 250 tons. It was not insured and was worth about $3,000. The cargo is thought to have been worth about $8, 900. This was also not insured.
