For Liberty by the Supreme COurt--The
Prisoner Cheerful, and Hopes for an
Acquittal.
Homer Willis, the young Texas lad
who shot and killed George Outlaw at
the home of Mr.. G. Willis a year ago.
has been given a new trial by the Su-
preme Court.
The decision was handed down Thurs
day.
The particulars of the tragedy and the
trial and sentence of young Willis to the
penitentiary for twenty years are famil-
lar to the readers of THE News, as all
the details of the horrible shooting of
young Outlaw, while seated at his un-
cles supper table, were printed at the
time.
The prisoner seemed highly pleased
when told of the action of the Supreme
Court, and expressed hope and belief
that his next trial would greatly lessen
his punishment,
When Willis was first tried and sen.
fenced to the penitentiarv it was the gen,
eral opinion that he had been extremely
fortunate, and many now believe thai
his next trial will result more seriously
for him.

By the Marshal of PARROT While Resist
ing Arrest--Stin Alive.
A serious shooting affray occurred at
Parrott Monday night.
Mr.. Fred Foreman is seriously shot in
the abdomen, and Mr.. w. R. Pritchard.
marshal of Parrott, is under arrest for
doing the shooting.
There are conflicting stories about the
particulars of the occurrence. and it is
impossible to get the true facts before
going to press.
1t seems, however, from report. that
Foreman was intoxicated, and decidedly
boisterous. Marshal Pritchard attempf-
eel to arrest him, Foreman resisted. and
they became engaged in tussle, During
the struggle both had hold of the officers
pistol, the weapon was DISCHARGED and
Foreman was wounded in the abdomen.
The ball entered his stomach and
passed entirely through him.
Sheriff Christie went to Parrott Tines
day morning and arrested Pritchard, who
had preliminary hearing before Justice
Anthony. He was placed under a $500
bond for assault with intent to murder.
The bond was promptly given.
DEAD.
Sheriff Christie received a telegram

afternoon announcing that Mr.. Foreman
was dead.
Sheriff Christie re-arrested Pritchard
on the charge of murder.

Last week THE News noted the ac-
quittai of John Whidden on the charge of
murder at Fort Gaines.
When the verdict was announced
Whidden was gathered by hundreds of
friends and literally borne ON their
shoulders to his aged mothers arms,
who, at the residence of Mr.. j. R. Simp-
son, anxiously awaited the fate of her
cherished boy. When they met the
scene beggared description, and their
JOY was too sacred for words.

THE FIRMAN.
The English Very Much Dissat-

1t Makes the khedive a Mere
Governor General.

Complications Possible - The Youthful
Sovereign Uneasy-N agotiations in Pro-
gress to obtain Notifications from the
Sultan-Not Likely to Succeed-John
Bull on the Alert.
CAIRO, April THE day for reading
the firman is still far from being settled,
and serious disagreements are arising
concerning it. The English say that the
khedive is, by the terms of the firman,
assimilated to mere governor general
of a province, and consequently it is un-
acceptable
Sir Evelyn Barring is, with his usual
skill, making the most of the situation.
Complications are possible. The khedive
is greatly annoyed, but remains calm.
Active negotiations with Constantinople
are in progress for the purpose of obtain
ing notifications in the tirman which
are but little compatible with precedents
and wishes already expressed by the sui
tan. Some of the British ironclads re-
turned to Alexandria before the arrival
of the Izzerdin with Eyoub Pasha
on board. The Egyptian Gazette now
states that the departure of the British
squadron was a mere feint. 1t is said
that Eyoub Pasha is the bearer of rich
presents from the sultan to the khedive.

SUICIDE OR ACCIDENT?
A Baltimore Minister Found Dead in
Charleston, w. Va.

Charleston, w. Va.
BALTIMORE, April Private advices
from Charleston, w. Va, received
Wednesday stated that the body of Rev.
j. J. q. Webster, d. D., presiding elder
of the eastern Baltimore district of the
Methodist Episcopal church, was found
near that place Wednesday morning. He
disappeared from his home in this city
Monday night and no trace of him could
be had until his dead body was discov-
cred.
DR.. Webster was married to Miss
Skinner, member of his church, two
weeks ago. 1t is supposed his disappear
ance and death are due to return of
nervous trouble which Frustrated him
Just before his marriage. He was fifty
years old. His bride is twenty-four.
A special dispatch to The News from
Charleston, W. Va, Wednesday, said:
A man registered at the Hotel Ruffner
as "John Worthington, of Washington,
d. c." and took room on the third
floor. This morning his dead body was
found on the pavement An incoherent
note left in the mans room read:
"Ruined-lost-stay home," and signed,
81. j. G. W."
1t is certain that he was killed either
by throwing himself from the window or
by falling out, His head and face were
badly crushed. His manner while at
the hotel was eccentric.
The fact that DR.. Webster went to
Charleston, where he had no friends, is
indicative of his unbalanced mental
condition. AS yet no facts have been
learned of his journey. The Methodist
conference, which was lately held in
this city, entailed much work and anx-
iety upon DR.. Webster and probably
contributed to his nervousness.
Webster's recent appointment as pre-
siding elder by Bishop Foster gave
great satisfaction to the preachers, a
burst of applause greeting the announce
ment, which is a rare circumstance in
the conference meeting. His bride and
family, including two children by a
former marriage, are prostrated over his
tragic end

China Threatens to Sever Dip
l0matic Relations
If the Chinese Exclusion Bill
Becomes q Law.

Senator sherman Refuses to Talk on the
subiect-Representa Hit Respons-
ible for the Statement That the Chi
nese Are Gradually Leaving the United
States.
NEW York, April IA Washington
dispatch to The Press states that the
Chinese minister had stated to Senator
Sherman, on the foreign affairs COM
mittee, that if the extreme Chinese ex-
clusion bill became law the govern
ment of China would sever all diplo-
matte relations with the United States.
Senator Sherman refused to say any
thing upon the subject when questioned
in regard to the report.
Representative Hit, who led the OPP
position to the bill in the house, said
that he had received intimation pretty
directly, though of course not officially,
that in case the bill became law diplo-
matte relations between China and this
country would come to an end.
He also said that there was reason to
fear that the government of China hear
ing of the passage of the bill by the
house would instruct its minister to ask
for his passports without waiting for
the action of the senate.
Representative Hit contends that in
stead of Chinese flocling to this country
by thousands, as has been reported, the
Chinese are actually leaving the
United States, $4,000 more Chinese
having departed from the country since
1888 than have arrived

Trust.
MACON, Ca, April 7.-The Georgia
Lumbermen's association met in Macon
Monday and organized lumberman's
exchange, which is in reality gigantic
trust, to have its headquarters in
Macon. Forty-fve of the most prom
inent milling interests in the state and
$50. 900, 900 of invested capital were rep
resented. s. r. Weston, of Albany,
was in the chair, with Merritt w.
Dixon, of Savannah, as secretary.
The committee appointed to draw up
a plan of organization reported, advising
the organizing of the local branches,
each with an executive committee,
which combined will form the general
committee, who shall elect secretary,
with an office in Macon. Through this
executive committee and secretary the
entire lumber business will be con-
trolled. The report was approved.
The general executive committee will
meet in Macon April 10 and will elect
president, six vice presidents and a
secretary.
The plan proposed is that all orders
Eudll COltlS W lll0 DCSlCbo1 WIZ pAlbAl
distribute them impartially. The prices
are to be uniform and will be fixed by
the executive committee, each mill
agreeing not to undersell fixed price.
The combine thus formed is intended to
eliminate the commission men, thus
throwing the middlemen out of work.
A prominent lumberman said: "This
will be the saving of our business.
Heretofore the supply cut has been
more than the demand. About 4O000,-
600 feet is cut annually, giving employ
ment TO 1000 hands. In future the mills
will shut down when the supply is too
large. The central committee will de-
eide which mills are to shut down and
at what other mills will be assessed
pro rata to make up the loss. The CEN
trail office will probably be in operation
