THE HANDY RAZOR,

Plays a leading part In tragedy at the
Metropolitan Hotel.
A terrible shock was given to the COM
munity on Friday of last week when the
news was made known that an alterca-
ton had taken place between Dennis
Pickens and John Smith, walters at the
Met1opolitan Hotel, in which the former
had cut the latter and and that he had
died from the effects Of the cutting The
trouble arose over a trivial matter and it
is the general opin'o, that there was
nothing premediated about it. as both
were known to be nice clever men
Pickens was very quiet sort Of a man
whose only weakness seemed to be an
inordinate f,ndness for fine hashy dress.
ing. Smith was perfect gentlemen in
manner and was liked by all who knew
him. Pickens alter doing the cutting
went to the office drew the money COM
ing to him and left for parts unknown
and has not been herd from since,
though every effort has been made to
learn his whereabouts. Smith was taken
to thu hospital where he died in a few
hours from the shock and loss of blood.
His funeral took place at St. James A
M. E. church Monday afternoon, Rev.
l.. II. Reynolds officiating The friends
of the murdered man throughout the
city literally contributed enough money
to pay the entire expense If his funeral
and leave little surplus for his young
widow. Smith was p years OF age and
had been married about Is or Is months.

A Steady Pull or Seventeen Miles on q
Chilly October Evening.
The longest swim ever made without
the aid of artificial help, such as life
preservers, life suits, etc, was made by
Samuel Brock, Yarmouth ENG
beac hman, on the night of October Ia,
1855. On the afternoon of the l4th
Brock had noticed n ship at sea signal
ing for a pilot He, in company with
nine other seamen, started for the ves-
sci in the yawl Increase. At 4 o'clock
they came up alongside the ship, which
proved 10 be the Spanish brig Paquette
de Bilboa A pilot and three beach men
were put on board and the Increase then
headed for shore, which was twelve
miles distant AT $3.50 o'clock. when
the nearest land was still six miles off,
a squall sunk the Increase and drowned
all on board except Brock From the
way that flood tide was beating Off
shore it soon became evident TO the man
in the water that il he ever did manage
to reach the land alive he would have
TO swim about fifteen miles in round
about way. A swell sea drove him out
over Cross-sand ridge before the 0 o'clock
bell tolled ut ST. Nicholas Gate, and IL
was long two hours and half later
before the nearly exhausted swimmer
caught sight of the bell and light buoys
themselves. 1t was now nearly mid
night and Brock had been in the chilly
water about five hours. Within the
next hour he sighted n vessel at anchor
and by an almost supcrhuman effort
managed to get within about two hun
dred yards, when he hailed the lookout
A boat was Immediately lowered and
the half-drowned man taken on board.
The vessel proved TO be the Betsy of
Sunderland and her place of anchorage
about sixteen and three-fourth miles
from where the Increase capsized.
Thus 1t was proven that Brock had
made the remarka BILE distance Of nearly
seventeen miles in seven and half
hours on that chilly October night. st
