NEGROES RAID A SALOON
TEE PROPRIETOR AND BIS WIFE
FATALLY WOUNDED.

The Barroom Till Robbed Of $3oO-Ths
Black Thugs Escape In the Darkness
Detectives on the Trail-Cne Negro
Fractures Another's skull at Athens.
ATHENS, GA. March 9.-Particulars of
bloody tragedy that occurred four miles
scene was at Saulter's bar, which is situated
just over the borders Of the Clarke county
line in Madison county. At IL o'clock last
night two burly negroes entered the bar.
ostensibly for the purpose of buying
liquor. Both appeared TO be under
the influence of liquor and were
very noisy and boisterous in
their conduct. One approached Saulter,
ths proprietor of the bar, and asked him in
an insulting tone for some whisky. Saulter
drew the required amount and handed 1t to
him. The negro said: "What II haven t
the money to psy for itp "Wsll, l will
take the whisky back" responded Saulter.
BENT ON CAUSING TROUBLE.
"Ill have the whisky, and I'll be - IL
you shall have a cent" the negro returned,
MIR. Haulter made an effort to regain pos.
session Of the liquor, when the ruffian drew
q pistol and shot, the ball entering Saulter's
neck and infringing on the jugular vein,
making an ugly and probably serious
wound. The negroes then fled out OF the
door, but stopped some yards from the
house and began using very insulting Lam
guage and swearing that they intended re-
turning and finishing the job.
wIFE's FATAL BRAVERY.
Mrs. saulter, alarmed by the report OF
the pistol, hurried TO the scene, and, advanc-
ing through the barroom, stood IN the
door, bold target for the balls from the
deadly pistols. Again the report rang out,
and Mrs. Sauiter fell to the ground In q
pool Of blood, with her arm
fractured and bleeding profusely. The
negroes now dashed into the bar.
and, both taking deliberate aim at Saulter,
who was helpless and uua-med, opened up
lively fusillAde and emptied four more
barrels into their victim. One entered the
fleshy portion Of the thigh, while two en-
tered bis left side and one fractured his
shoulder blade. The two scoundrels now
proceeded 60 rob the bar and secured $500.
They fed under cover Of the night and
escaped. Saulter will die and his wife's
condition is precarious. Detectives are on
the trail, aud il the scoundrels are appre-
hended they will be summarily dealt with.
A SKULL FRACTURED.
A frightful and bloody difficulty occurred
here last night between two negroes named
Parrott and Lee. The bone of contention
was tho refusal OF Lee to be showed about
plRyfnlly, and in retaliation he struck Par
rott over the hesd, fracturing his skull and
otherwise injuring him. Parrott will die
and Lee is being pursued by the sleuth-
hounds OF Justice.

HARRUND1A's WIDOWS DEMAND.

The United States Asked to Give Her
100000 on Account OF the Killing.
WASHINGTON, March S.-Transito Hurite,
widow Of Hon. J. Martin Barrundia, in her
own name and as representative of her six
minor daughters. and Ramoa Begoechea, as
representative Of his wife, Tsreasa Barrun,
dfa de Bengoechea, have filed with
tho Secretary Of State a claim
against the United States for 81 900, 900
for having surrendered Gen. Barrundia to
the Guatemalan authorities, at whose hands
he lost his life. The claim, the petitioners
say, is based on explicit and precise declera-
tions Of the President Of the United States
in his last annual message to congress that
Minister Miner, in issuing his order
for the surrender of Gen. Barrundia, ex-
ceeded the bounds Of his authority and
acted in violation of precedents established
in similar cases. for which reason tho
United States government disayowed his
act and recalled him from his post
ARGUMENT OF THE PETITIONERS.
The petitioners argue that Minister
Miizner acted in everything he did as
United States minister and as legal repre-
sentative OF his nation, and it seems evil
dent, according to the unanimous opinion
OF all authorities, that if he is responsible
to his government, that the government is
responsible to us, in that it is bound to in
demnify for that injury that was caused to
us by its representative through his viola
ton in the person of Gen. Barrundla of the
guarantees furnished in such cases
by international law, and even by
the principles of humanity" In closing
the petitioners say: eve asked that the
sum of $1,000, 900 be paid to US, which we
hope will be granted, 80 that the United
States government may act consistently
with the declarations made in the Presi-
dents message to which we have referred.
and may repair 30 far as possible the injury
that has beea caused to US by its representa-
tive, for whose acts 1t is responsible"
A FATAL FLAW IN THE CLAIM.
There is defect in this claim which, In
the opinion Of the state department. officials,
will prove fatal to it, aud that is the fact
that it is made by citizens Of foreign
country without the knowledge and
consent Of that couutry. 1t is
said there that it is we'll established prin-
ciple in this country, as well as nearly all
others. that the claims of citizens of one
country against another are recognized only
when presented In the name OF the country
of which claimant is q citizen.

OF the national league yesterday and seized

sion followed. The members denounced
Mr.. Harrison in more vigorous than
polite language, and Tepudiated
the authority OF tho central league.
A number Of Mr.. Harrlson's friends arrived
upon the scene while the discussion was GO
ing on, and declared that the Dublin or CEN
trail branch Of the league had authorized
the seizure made by Mr.. Harrison, owing to
the disorganiEsd stand aud disloyalty Of the
Belfast branch toward Mr.. Parnell. Mr..
Harrison and his friends then declared the
branch dissolved. a free fight followed
between Mr.. Harrlson's friends and their
opponents Of the Belfast league fists, sticks
and chairs being freely used. Finally the
police appeared in force and cleared the
league buildings. Rival meetings. com
posed Of supporters and opponents OF Mr..
Parpen, were subsequently held. at which
it was resolved TO support Mr.. Parnell and
Mr.. Mccarthy respectively.

that ct II O'Clock the speaker instructed the
doorkeepers to prevent ths admission of

waiting only to pass necessary legislation.

The "WeepinS" Eye.

A great many people will remember
a practice thatswas common about fifty
years ago of rubbing the eye in pc
.u!iar way, from the outer to the inner
corner, the result being, as was sup
posed, to strengthen the Sight. The
practice originated with President John
Quincy Adams, who had what is called
"a weeping eye, disease having closed
ONE of the ducts, SO that he was forced
20 wipe away. the Overlooking moisture
about once in every five minutes. He
always wiped his eye from the outer to
thc inner corner, and some one, motto.
