A FREIGHT BLOCKADE,
And Several SHIFTS Against the Cen.
trail in View.

The close-fsted policy of the
Central railroad is about to gel
that monopolistic corporation into
trouble here.
The pending trouble is because
of the lack of sufficient force at the
depot to handle the busiaess.
MIR. w. j, Griffin, of Oglethorpe,
was installed as the agent of the
Central at this place on the secord
of january. After three days and
nights of hard labor tor the road,
Mr.. Griffin telegraphed to the su,
peiintcndent at Macon for an as.
sis'aat. The assistant was not
sent and Mr. Griffin sen: in bis
resignation, On last Wednesday
Mr.. j. w. Corcoran, OF Troy, Ala,
succeed Mr.. Griffin as agent. Af>
ter one days service he telegraph
ed for an assistant, which was res
fused MIN, He then telegraphed
his resignation to the superintend-
ent. Nothing was heard from that
Official, and On Saturday Mr.. Cor>
coran again telegraphed his resig-
nation. This was followed by an.
other telegram on Sunday morning
urging that the resignation be ac-
eepted. This brought a reply and
Mr., lorcoran is now awaiting his
successor and Dawson's fourth de-
rot agent in less than months
time.
One man is not capable ofre>
ceiving and discharging the freight
of Dawson, AID for several weeks
it has been accommodating and our
merchants have not been able to
get their goods.
Our little cd depot is lit
orally filed with household goods,
some belonging to parties moving
into our county and some owned
by parties moving away. These
are mixed W with all kinds of
good belonging to our city aud
country merchants, who have 3een
begging for and swearing about
them for weeks. in this lot are
one or Two carloads of Aour, the
sacks torn to pieces aud contents
scattered among other goods and
over the floor, which is covered
nearly an iich deep in mud. BE,
sides these goods there are
nearly twenty carloads of mer-
chandise standing on the track.
waiting to be unloaded, and others
accommodating daily. Several car
loads of goods that should have
been put off here have been passing
backward and forward up and down
the road ON a protracted cx-
cursion as it were.
Some of these are perishable
goods and were lost. Our mel
chants have demanded their goods
time and again, but all IN vain.
Oar several agents have been
helpless In the matter. They APP
piled 10 headquarters for assistance
every day during their terms of of
fee, and each resigned because the
requests were not complied with.
fthis state of affairs continues
much longer, our merchants will
institute claims for damages against
the Central
Dawson wants and is entitled to
larger and better depot and
large enough force in the Office to
handle a great amount of freight.

LATER DEVELOPMENTS.

When the grand jury met Mon.
day they began a searching
investigation of the case. Evi~
dence sufficient to warrant a bill
for murder in the first degree was
found and bill to that effect was
returned. When Sheriff Thornton
went to re.arrestthe woman Ray it
was found that she had jumped her
bond and left for parts unknown.
The Sheriff brought the wires to
his assistance and yesterday re-
ceived a telegram from the chief of
police at Montgomery that he had
the fugitive in custody. Officer
F. M, Jennings left on the next
train for Montgomery and will re-
turn tc~day with the prisoner.
The fact has developed that in
stead of being alone at the time of
the shooting, as she swore at the
coroner's investigation, there were
with her in the no use two young
boys of Dawson, 1t has also de-
veloped,that Suggs was not bois-
ferrous and was not trying to force
an entrance into the house when
shot.
This information was obtained
from a young man of 8 neighboring
town who had left the house only
few moments before the fatal
shot was fred, and was then IN
hearing distance.

SHOT DEAD BY A WOMAN.
A Planter Killed by Disreputable
Woman.

at ulsreputdble house IN this
city on last Friday morning about
one o'clock.
H.. A, suggs, planter who
lives in the southern part of this
county, was shot by Lula Ray, was
instantly killed aud was called into
the presence of his God while UNI
der the influence of whiskey and a
visitor at a house of i'll repute.
Suggs was about fifty years Of
age and had grandchildren.
Visitors to the scene of the tragedy
on Saturday morning saw horri-
bic spectacle. When the fatal ball
was fred suggs vas standing at
the door of the little frame house
just north of the depot, occupied by
Lula Ray, and was knocking for
admittance. The pistol was fired
from the inside of the house and
the ball penetrated the door and
entered the murdered mans neck,
cutting the jugular vein aud pro-
ducing almost instant death.
lie fell backward from the
steps and was found the next
morning. outstretched on the ground
With his feet resting on the bot
tom step. By him was large
pool of blood that had flown from
The wound.
The murderess heard her victim
fall and opened the door and look
ed at him. She then closed it and
left by the rear door for the
house of widow Harris, and told
her of the deed. The two women
then went to the house of Jack
Miller, who lives near by, and ask
ed him to go for Sheriff Thornton,
as the woman wished to give hers
self up. Sheriff Thornton was no,
f d about four o'clock in the
morning and at once went and ar
rested the woman.
When the fact Of the crime was
made known to Coroner Daniel he
said an inquest was not necessary
and left for the country. Solicitor
General Griggs took a different
view end called uptn Justice of the
Peace Statham to hold an inquest.
The jury was summoned, and with
Professor ,. w. F. Lowrey as
foreman the investigation was be-
gun.
The woman Ray claimed to have
been alone at the time OF tie shoot
ing and hers was the only material
evidence before the jury. She
gave her reasons for the shooting
as follows: About midnight she
was aroused by Sugys knocking
violently for admission. Size re-
fused him entrance, when he be-
gan using vile epithets and pushing
and kicking the door for the pure
pose of breaking in. She told him
to leave and warned him that it he
did not do so she would shoot him.
Suggs paid no attention to the
warning and she thereupon fired
one shot through the koor to scare
him. The ball accidentally hit
him and killed him.
The jury found verdict of inN
voluntary manslaughter, and JUS
tice Statham fixed the bond at
500, She remained in jail about
two hours, wher the bond was
signed and she was released.
Lula Ray lisa blonde, is ofmedium
size, has smooth and pleasant feat
ures and is rather progressing in
appearance.
