DOUBLE TRAGEDY.
THE HAVOC OF COLD LEAD IN THE TOWN OF
JESSUP.
Man Shoots His Wife and Her Traducer-An
Exciting Scene at the Littlefeld House
The Murderer Unnsrved at
Things He Saw.

ST. LOUIS, May 21.-A dispatch from
Jessup, Ga, to the PoSt-Dispdtch, gives
an account of frightful double tragedy
there early this morning. 1t appears
that j. NJ. Mccall, County Surveyor OF
Ware county, came TO Jessup from
Brunswick about 10 o'clock last night
and stopped at the Littleiield House.
He retired to his room and after staying
i'm bed two hours went down stairs In
his night clothes and asked for Mr.. Lit
tlefeld, but could not find him. He
then went TO Mrs. Littleiield's room and
knocked. She admitted him. Mr.. Lit
tleiield was on the front porch watching
him and finding them in com
promising position he rushed
through the window into the
room and shot his wife just over the
left eye, killing her instantly. He then
shot Mccall four times. One ball struck
him in the lip just under the nose, one
in his right side, one in the left shoul-
der and one in the small of his back.
Mccall ran into an adjoining room and
fell. Medical aid was summoned at
once, but he died at 2:20 a. m. Mr.
Mccall was about 80 years old, with
large family, having grown children,
and the family stands high in the esti-
nation of the community. Mr. Little
field is about the same age. His wife
was about i5 years OF age.

Miss Willard's Views on the "Original
Package" Decision.

ST. LOUIS, May 2l.-Miss Frances +.
Willard, President of the National Wo-
mems Temperance Union, is in this city to
attend the State meeting Of the Union.
In the course of lengthy interview on
the liquor question in general, she touched
upon the recent Original Package de-
cisiOn Of the United States Supreme Court
and said:
There is nothing to discourage us.
When the Fugitive Slave Law was passed,
and the Dred Scott decision was given, all
looked dark TO the workers for freedom.
Nothing. however, could have happened
so helpful TO the Abolition cause as when
il was decided by the highest legal author
itv in America that the negro had no rights
that a white man was bound 10 respect
That was the crack of the doom to the
slave power. Now, if a prohibitOry State
has no laws that the United States is
bound to respect-and this is exactly the
force of the Supreme Court decision-it
will prove the crack of the doom to the
whisky oligarchy.
''If politicians know the day of their sal
vation they will hurry through the bill ex-
empting the prohibitory States from any
action of the Interstate Commerce law so
far as liuuor is concerned. If they do not,
next falls election will make lively fighting

tory States like Iowa and Kansas are apt
to become provincial; but this decision
obliges them to cast their eyes TO the horl-
