KILLED AZ Dinner.
About noon Harvey came home 70 dinner
and was followed soon after by John Con-
merton and Samuel Dickerson The three
sat down at a table ia the kitchen and ate
their dinner, nothing peculiar being noticed
IN Haryeys actions Before they had quite
finished the meal Harvey arose, walked to
the mantel, picked up five chambered re-
yolver and came toward the two men, They
were quick to realize their danger ana made
an effort to escape. Harvey fired at Con-
merton, sending bullet through his head
and killing him instantly.
Harvey stood between Dickerson and the
door, and the latter, realizing the situation
made for the window, when Harvey again
fired, wounding Dickerson in the arm. The
latter managed, however to open the win
dow and slide down the fire escape into the
yard.
A Woman Shot.
The noise OF the shooting attracted the
other tenants, and all rushed exctedly
down the stairs. Among them was Mrs.
Mary Dickerson. As she passed the door of
the room in which Harvey was standing a
third shot was fired and a bullet passed
through her right hand
BY this time the dozen families who occu-
pied the house had all made their escape
with the exception of Mrs Catherine Duffy.
As the crowd stood looking at the house
from the outside Mrs Duffy was seen 20
come 70 a window on the second floor, and
before any one could shout 70 stop her she
jumped to the sidewalk She was picked
up and carried 10 a neighbor's house, where
her right leg was found 70 be fractured be-

THE BEST
IID'
Our plain Gold Rings are
made of fine i8K. gold U. S.
assay, and are manufactured
by an improved process, fully
covered by letters patent.
The usual method employed
in the manufacture of plain
Gold Rings is to take a straight
blank or half round bar of the
metal and bend it in a circular
form, then solder or braze it
together by the use of baser
metal.
Our rings are seamless, no
Joint, and made without solder,
no base metal being used.
BY this means a thorough
pressing of the gold is ar-
piled, leaving the Ring hard
and much more durable for
wear, superior in shape, color
and finish.
Our assortment of Watches,
Chains, Charms and Rings is
more complete than ever, at
prices that will interest you,

FIELD AGAIN INDICTED j
This Time on a Charge of
Forgery.
AN IMAGINARY CARGO OF WHEAT.

The strangest OF All His Many Peculiar
Transactions Payment Of the Fradu-
lent Paper stopped in the Nick Of Time.
Condition Of the Alleged Lunatio.
New York, Dec l9.-Forgery has now
been added 10 the crimes charged against
Edward NJ. Field Yesterday the December
grand jury brought in an indictment against
him on this charge in the second degree.
With an the risks attending so bold pro-
ceeding, It is alleged that Edward NJ. Field,
In November last, feloniously forged bills OF
hiding for a cargo Of wheat then said to be
on board the ship Triumph, IN the port Of
New York, bound for Queenstown, to which
the name J. +, Renpar was signed as mas
ter. With these fictitious bills Of lading was
drawn an order for ses, ,gl6 marks on 4 house
at Mannheim, Germany, on the supposition
that the wheat had been shipped This
shipment was never made, according TO the
statements Of the district attorney
Why lie Forged the Bill Of Iadlne.
The order was executed through the firm
of knauth, Nachod K Kuhne, Of this city
Some time previous to this transaction an
uncle Of Wieehers, one of the members OF
the defunot firm, sent the latter somethin.
over 100000 10 invest The firm speculnted
with this money and when the trusting
German asked for his funds there were mono
for him. To meet this obligation Field is
said 60 have perpetrated the forgeries 1t ia
said that both the vessel and cargo in ques-
tion were purely imaginary
Payment stopped.
The daring nature Of the alleged crime is
the strangest part OF it. That discovery
must come soon should have been patent to
any sane man. Fortunately it came in time
70 stop the payment Of the order by the
German firm.
1t is said that in connection with the evil
dence secured by the district attorney are
the names Of several well known flnanciers.
The hearing Of the creditors against the
estate Of lsaiah Ashton was called yester-
day in the surrogate court Of White Plains,
but was adjourned owing to the fact that
the executor Of the estate Is Edward M.

The War IL Not Over,

WASHINGTON, May 2O.-The plan

at Chicago to be called ''The Blue and
the Gray" for the veterans of both
armies, in which war relics could be
stored, the veterans to camp in tents 10
be furnished by the War Department,
has received a setback by the adoption
of resolutions at a recent meeting of
Post No. 3 Of the department of the Po-
tomac, G.. a. r., setting forth that its
members were opposed to the pan; that
the cause Of the Union soldiers was right
from 1861 to 1865, and that their oppo-
nents were wrong; that, therefore, ifany
honor was due to anyone it was due to
only those who saved the nation. It
was further resolved that there was
room for only one flag within the con-
fines of the United States. and that flag
was the stars and strlpes-the elblem
OF freedom and right. These resolu-
tons were su 2sequcntlY endorsed by the
Department OF the Potomac.

An Imuortant p,oi,ion

WASHINGTON, May 25.-The United
States Supreme Court to-day rendered,
through Chief ustice Fuller, an opinion
on the liquor que stion, which is of
great importance TO all the States. The
importance of the decision is that it up
holds the State authority as against ma
tionsl authority, and that it settles be-
You'd all controversy that the police
regulations of "A State prohibiting the
Introduction of Intoxicating liquors
can he enforced despite the original
package decision of the Supreme Court.
The case came up on habeas corpus
from Kansas. Justices Gray, Harlan
and Brewer, while asserting to the gem
ecal purpose of the opinion, differed in
some minor particulars. The decision
Is gratifying to the prohibitionists.
Tbey regard it as entirely upsetting the
"original package decision Of about
two years ago, and sustaining in their
entirety the police powers of the several
States to regulate the liquor traffic
within their respective borders.

WASHINGTON, Ga. May 2O.-The

whatever he undertakes. He thought the
drought had lasted long enough, and he
determined to have a rain Fit took all tho

snakes and hanging them up. He first
went down back of his house, where,a
week or two since. a snake had bitten

fore he had his snake, and he hung him
up high and dry; and then it wasn't

only trouble about it is that Meriwether
ought to have done this thing several

ATHENS, GA, May 23.--Jim Jarrett,
who hges in Jackson county about
fourteen miles from Athens, and near
Jefferson, is a prosperous and contented
farmer who has a lovely daughter,
Fannier, mnch admired 10y all the young
men of the neighborhood.
+ Among her admirers is a young far
mer, Bob McRae, who had been par.
ticularly attentive to her, and who is
very obnoxious to her father. The
daughter, however, was fond of Bob,
and was determined to see him when
ever the opportunity offered, no matter
how much opposed her father might be
to their meeting.
Last Tuesday Mr.. Jarrett told his
daughter that she must stop seeing the
fascinating Bob, and if she disobeyed
him he would whip her. This threat
did not, however,, deter the daughter
from carrying out her plans, and she
met McItae and took a long walk with
him. This angered her father beyond
endurance, and when she returned to
her home he gave her, as he had prom
lsed, aisevere whipping.
After the whipping had been admin
iste,ed, the daughter went Off for a few
hours, but returned, seemingly as happy
as she had been. The next day Mr.,
jarrett had soup for dinner, which was
made by his daughter. He was taken
Violently sick soon after eating. and
when the physicians arrived, they saw
at once that he had been poisoned. The
poison wa discovered to be i'm the soup
and was rough, on rats.
The daughter when she saw herfather
apparently dying, broke down and con-
fessed her crime amid tears and protes-
tations OF future obediencs. she had
procured the poison and put it in the
soup intending to kill h~erfather because
he had whipped her. Fortunately for
the life OF Mr.. Jarrett, too much poison
was administered and he was not in
stantly killed and now in fact, he may
recover,
Every effort is being made to save his
life and these efforts may succeed.
The story is sick ening in the extreme
and although the daughter is pretty and
attractive she will in all probability be
made an example of.-&ugusta Chron-
iCle.
