BULLETS FLY AT a PRIMARY.
One Man Killed and Two or Three More
Apt to Die.


NEW ORLEANS, Aug. A.-A special to
the Picdyune from Vicksburg gives the
following particulars Of shooting which
took place this afternoon at Newman's
grove, in Warren county: "At the pavilion
where the vote for supervisor was being
counted fully fifty persons were present,
and they crowded up around the tellers
when an alteration arose between w. II.
Brobston and James Lanier. Brobston
struck Orpheus Lanier and the latter raised
a large stick, at the same time advancing
on him. Brobston then presented his pistol
at Lanier. At this moment w. 4. Brob-
ston, a cousin and brother-in-law Of w. H.,
drew his pistol and fired at his cousin, who
though seriously hurt, returned the fire and
short duel ensued between the two, termi-
mating in w. H. Brobston falling in a dying
condition, while w. +. Brobston also went
down severely wounded.
OTHERS OPEN FIRE.
"In the meantime fifteen or twenty shots
were fired by different persons in the crowd,
the confusion and excitement being 50
great that it was impossible to tell who
shot, In the melee Justice Hawkins and
Seymour Bobbs, who rushed in to stop the
atfray, were seriously wounded, the former
being shot through the hip from behind,
while ball passed through the latter's
grazod on the head by a shot also. w. F.
Brobston was shot through the upper part
of the right thigh from the front, also In
the left breast, both being flesh wounds.
SAVED BY A NEWSPAPER.
"The ball in the breast passed through
and was fatteued on a newspaper i'll the
breast pocket of his coat. and was thus pre-
vented from entering the cavity, though it
made a terrible flesh wound. The entire
affair was over in q few moments. Drs. Rob
bins and Purnell were telephoned for at
once, and securing a special engine, left at
| 5 o'clock D. m. for that place. They re-
| turned here between and O'Clock p. NJ,
bringing with them w. f. Brobston, who
is now at Mrs. Harper's boarding house,
and Justice Hawkins, who was take to a
| hospital. Mrs. Brobston came with her
husband, and Mrs. Hawkins is expected
here early. Mr.. Bobbs was taken home.
BRoTHERs-IN-LAw OF BISHOP.
"The principals in the affray are brothers
| in-law of Bishop Galloway, and among the
most estimable citizens of the county. w.
F. Brobston and F. w. Brobston were
| rivals for supervisor, the latter being a
| brother Of W. II. Brobston, and it is sup
posed some feeling existed between them on
this account. 1t isalso stated that an old
feud existed between the parties
| growing out of the settlement of
an estate. The Brobston family is both
numerous and influential. F. w. Brobston
| is, at present, supervisor, and j. II. Brob-
ston was member of the last legislature
and candidate for reelection. Consider
ing that the affray took place in the center
of dense crowd it is considered remarkable
that no more casualties occurred. Great
excitement was created here by the news,
mingled with the deepest regret at the
lamentable occurrence"

COUNT BISMARCK GOES To MUNSTER.
Count Herbert Bismarck, interrupting
his holiday, left Hamburg to-day for Mum
ster, presumably to consult the emperor
regarding the czar's visit. Tho belief now
is that the car will disembark at Stettin
en- route to Copenhagen, and have brief,
ouiet meeting with Emperor William at
Potsdam. There will be no military dis
play such as was presented for King Hum
bert and Emperor Francis joseph, all the
guards having departed the autumn
maneuvers in Silesia.
SMALL HOPE OF AN ENTENTE.
The Cologne Gazette says: whether
the car comes or not. there is small hope
that the relations between Russia and Ger
many will improve"
The North German Gazette reproduces
the official article of the Hamburg Cor
respondent, to the effect that the czsr's
visit cannot influence the question of peace
or war.
The Nouoe Vremia and other leading
Russian papers are making open bids for
Turkish support as a counterbalance to the
powerful combination Of the central
European powers.

A BAD PAIR OF OUTLAWS.
JUDGE BOYD WANTS TROOPS SENT
TO HARLAN COUNTY.

de Suggests Forming a Gordon
through Which the Desperadoes
VIII Be Unable to Break-The Men
Wanted Related to Nearly a Quarter
OF the People in the County.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Aug 24-Judge
Robert Boyd, of the Fifteenth judicial dis
trlct, in which Harlan county is situated,
came here to-day to request Gov. Buckner
10 send troops to arrest Wilson Howard, the
leader of band of outlaws that killed four
citizens last Tuesday. Judge Boyd spoke
III substance as follows: 81 think troops
are necessary to capture the outlaws. and
ther presence is essential at the criminal
court IN order that the law may be en-
forced.
HOW HE PROPOSES TO WORK.
=, 1t IS my plan to station officers at all
Ine principal outlets of Harlan county and
let them intercept all attempts to escaDe
from the county. Then let the troops raid
their tastnesses and either capture or drive
them into the hands of the officers who
guard roads and other outlets.
HARD MEN TO BAG.
IF Wilson Howard and Bill JENNINGS
could be taken the trouble would end. Bnt
they are related to about one-fourth of the
harlan county inhabitants, and have a
large number Of active supporters. Conse-
quently it would be hard matter to cap
tqre them without military support.
Howard and jennings offered to surrender
to me and sent Harry Eversole to negotiate
the conditions. They sent word that they
would surrender if they were assured that
bail would be allowed them, but | of course
demanded an unconditional surrender.
WANTS TO PUT THEM ON THE GIBBEr.
Il think the best thing to be done in case
OF capture would be to turn them over to
the Missouri authorities as quickly as posi-
bis. They are both wanted in that state
for two or three murders. They
murdered a deaf mute in cold blood
and think killed one OF two
persons afterward. Marshal Hunter came
near capturing Howard some time
since out in Rockcastle county. Howard,
however, was forewarned before Capt.
Hunter reached the house, and made good
his escape on a very swift horse. 1 shall
continue to hold court as usual"
Gov. Buckner is of the, opinion that q
strong posse would do more good than
troops.

Death on st. Simon's.

Real Estate on Big BOom-HOrrible
Death on st. Simon's.
BRUNSWICK, GA, Aug. 24.-AloDzo Swift
(colored) met with a sudden and terrible
death on st. Simon's island this morning.
He was employed at the lumber mill and
for some reason descend ed into the slab p t
where all the loose slabs are thrown, No
one knew that he was in the pit, and some
one let large slab slide down the incline.
Alonzo heard the sliding noise and raised
his face up. As he did SO the slab left the
incline and fell on end, striking directly on
his forehead and causing almost instant
death. No one, it is thought. can be blamed
for the accident.
Tonight about s O'Clock 5-ysar-old ne
gro child, daughter of Maggie Hunter, was
run over and terribly mangled by street
car. Both hands and feet were terribly
crushed, and it Is thought that death will
be the result. DR.. Butts was quickly called
in and did what good he could.
NEW sAw-MILLs.
To-day the machinery in the immense
saw-mills Of Dunham 81 Hotchkiss, on
Crispen Island, was set in motion for the
first time. A party of citizens were guests
of The firm, and they report that everything
worked perfectly. Durham & Hotchkiss
have about invested Sl00.000i in their plant,
and Brunswick will reap rich benefits from it
in the shape Of trade received from many
laborers.
Never before has real estate been on such
a boom as it is now in this city. Two days
ago Lloyd, Cunningham e. Branhain,
young business men, paid Sl3, 900 cash for
a building block on New Cooke street.
Brobstons real estate agency made big
trade also, but the figures have not yet

boan ordered to sail from New York to-
morrow morning for Hayti. She will take
At Iaast a week on the passage, providing
Sbo docs NOT run into the hurricane which
Is sunposed to be coming up the Gulf stream
in an opposite direction. Acting Secretary
Walker saws that it appears from Admiral
Gberardi's telegram that the worst Of the
tronble is now over. Still it viii be pru-
dent and necessary perhaps to keepa United
states man-of-war in Haytian waters for
some time to come, to provide against the
contingency of a riot or lawleSsnesS which
NAV endauger American interests.
THE GOVERNMENT IN A QUANDARY.
The department of state has not yet com
muncated with Minister Douglass on the
subject of his immediate departure for
Hayti, as suggested by Amiral Gherardi.
1t is believed that the request for his
presence is caused by belief that the re-
iations between the present United States
representative and the other foreign repre-
sentatives have become somewhat strained.
Meanwhile it is said as n reason for delay
in sending Minister Douglass to his post,
that this government is in grave doubt as
to the proper authority to whom he should
be accredited, and while this was something
of problem in President Legitime's ad-
miniStration, it has become even more
complicated since his departure, as the
state department is in entire official igno-
rance of the terms of capitulation, and the
tenure by which Gen. Hippolyte governs.

NEW ORLEANS, LA, Aug. 24-The sem
sation here to-day was the disappearance
of a prominent young lawyer and notary,

ferer, her tire estate having been mort
gagged. Phillips was married man. His
family at present are sojourning in Vir-

A Committee Unable to Suggest a
Remedy for Their Troubles.
CHICAGO, ILL, Aug. 24-Judge Gould
and DR.. Fred H. Wines, who were appointed
by Gov. Fifer as commission to investi-
gate and report upon the Northern Illinois
miners troubles, have presented a vo-
luminous report to the governor. The
gentlemen find that it is impos-
sible for the miners to subsist upon
the wages offered by the operators, but de-
cline to state any conviction that the present
market and controlling conditions will jus
tify the operators in offering higher rate
of wages. They state that the facility
with which coal can be worked in south
ern Illinois places the northern Illinois
miners under decided disadvantage i'll the
mat er Of output and wages. In the report
of $4,000 words, the commission fails to
recommend any panacea for the existing
troubles, and concludes with the reflection
that the situation is as hopeless as it is dis
treSsing.
