CARPETBAG POSTMASTER.
Carolton, Miss, and 10
Killed.

CARLTON, Miss, Dec. 25.-A fatal
tragedy occurred on the principal busi-
ness street IN this town to-day at y.
noon, in which John Prentiss
Mathews, Republican postmaster at
this place, was killed by
young W. Smith Mcbride, a well-known
and prominent young druggist here.
Matthews was coming down the street
towards the drug store OF Mcbride s Co.
armed with q Winchester rife, when Nc
Bird. stepped toward him and fred the
fatal shot while Matthews had his
gun uplifted and was preparing to shoot
Mcbride. The cause of the difficulty as
CLEANED by your correspondent was about
as follows: On last night Matthews had
an eltercatiou with Mcbride at the post
office. Mcbride went TO the office for his
mail, and Matthews began cursing
and abusing him which led to q personal
encounter. The hostile feeling was re-
newed this morning by Matthews appear
ing on the street armed with q
Winchester rifle and with large pistol on
him, whooping and hallowing, abusing
and threatening to kill young Mcbride.
He paraded the streets several hours this
way until he was placed under arrest by
the sheriff. He was carried before the
mayor and released under bond
to appear tomorrow morning.
Matthews then returned to his store,
in which is also kept the post
Office, and holding his guns in his hands,
stood in his door and began carrying off
goods and cursing every one who came in
his hearing. After q few minutes he
came down the street toward the drug
store Of Mcbride & Co., where
he was killed, the first shot from the
double-barreled shotgun of Mcbride
killing him instantly. Matthews is the
youngest son of Joe Prentiss Matthews,
who was killed at Hezlehurst in 1884,
and is brother of J NJ. and s. Mat
thews, the latter of whom is
United States marshall for the
Southern district OF Mississippi. He
has rendered himself very obnoxious to
the people of this community by his Of
fensive conduct while he has been here
as carpet-bag postmaster of the present,
administration. He has been before the
officers almost every week on various
charges of drunkenness and carving
concealed weapons, assault and battery
and other offenses. He took possession of
a passenger train on the Miss ,ari Pacific
railroad while drunk, and was only
conquered by q porter and conductor
beating him down and disarming him for
which he Is now under indictment In the
courts of Webster and this, Carroll,
county. His administration of tbs post
office here has been miserable IN
the extreme, and public senti-
ment was highly inflamed against
him. Mcbride is very peaceful
and quiet young man, industrious and
popular. Public sentiment is highly in
his favor, because he was goaded into
the difficulty by Matthews conduct.
Both the sheriff and mayor had remon-
strated with Matthews this morning, but
to no effect. The preliminary eXamina-
tion will be had to- morrow.
