PINE BLUFF, ARK, July 5.-Warren
Anderson shot and instantly killed Horace
Williams, of the Oliver plantation, 13
miles from here, at 1 o'clock last night and
rode at daybreak this morning to the resi-
dence of Sheriff Frank Silverman, in this
city, and surrendered himself The muir
dered man was found dead this morning near
Anderson's house, with shotgun wound in
his back. When seen at the Jail to-day by
your correspondent, the prisoner spoke
very freely about his crime, and virtually
made confession of murder that appears
to be in all its details as atrocious as any in
the history of criminals.
He relates that at about I o'clock last
night he heard raps at his door but at first
paid no attention to them, thinking they
were scratches from a dogs paws Later
on, when the raps were repeated he arose
from his bed to examine into the cause of
the disturbance and through the glass
door saw the form of a man on the
gallery in front of his house
He took his shot gun and
opening the door, approached the form,
which he recognized as belonging to Horace
Williams, who last Thursday had worked
for him and whom he owed balance of 10
cents. He asked Williams what he wanted
at that time of the night and received the
reply that he had come for his 10 cents.
They both left the house and Williams
attempted to walk around the building,
when Anderson stopped him and asked him
to come to the gallery and have an under
standing abont the matter. They sat down
together, and Anderson proposed to call
Wright Hudson, neighbor, to settle the
dispute. At this Williams became alarmed,
not wishing to be seen at Anderson's house
at this unreasonable hour, and attempted
to run away, when Anderson shot him with
deadly result.
When asked why he shot Williams, who
was apparently unarmed, and who he ad-
mitted had made no threats, Anderson made
evasive answers and could give no plausible
Anderson is tough character
who has been in bad scrapes repeatedly.
Last spring he had a difficulty with Ellis
Wiley, his nephew, who stabbed him Sc
verely in the leg, the wound causing con-
pain.

NOT LOST, BUT DEFERRED.
What Mr.. Gompers Says of the Failure of
the Carpenters Strike.

the Carpenters Strike.
Samuel Gompers, President of the FEEDER
alton of Labor, reached the city from New
York last evening. He spent the night
with William Martin, and will leave this
morning for Steubenville where he will at
tend the labor celebration to-day. ,.
Mr.. Gompers was asked what he had to
say about the failure of the carpenters
strike. He was informed that they blamed
the Federation for not helping them
financially after he had assured
them of the organizations SYM
pathy and support. In answer he
said: 81 don't think the carpenters who
make this charge are sincere. This strike
has not failed, it has only been deferred If
the carpenters are honest they will not say
that we did not help them. The strike was
lost for the present for number of reasons,
and 1 haven't time to discuss them now.
One, think, was the stringency in the
money market, which kept many people
from building who otherwise would have
put up houses"
Mr.. Gompers was accompanied by Secre-
tary-Treasurer Evans, of the Federation.

MAYOR GoURLEY states that the story about
his not having invited Councilmen to at

wrong. He sent invitations to both Pitts

CHICAGO July 5.-Alf Kennedy, of Streator,
was in the city yesterday in consultation
with Frank Shaw and T. r. Cowles, of the
Minnesota Athletic Club with view to ar
ranging a match to take place before that
body between Billy Meyer and Jimmy Car
roll.
If contest is arranged between Billy and
Carroll, and l am sure I would like to see
them come together said Kennedy, "I
would much prefer it to takr place at st. Paul
or Minneapolis than at point farther away
from home. Not that we are in any way
fearful of unfair treatment wherever we go,
but st. Paul is much more convenient to
Chicago and a big Attendance could be eX-
pected from all over this State. That and
the fact that don't like the climate down
there is the only objection have to going to
New Orleans"
Carroll is now at White Bear Lake prepar-
ing Fitzsimmons for his fight with Jim Hall,
and fight could be easily arranged pro-
vided the men are willing and the club hang
up purse. However, Messrs. Shaw and
Cowles will do nothing thereanent until
they return home.
