was created here this morning when
it became known that Constable
Whit. Broaddus had shot and killed

officer had a warrant for Aliens ar

OF the telegraph Office about 3 o'clock
this morning. Allen resisted arrest,
and to save himself the officer drew
his pistol and shot the offender dead.
Allen is noted desperate and out
law, for whom there have been sew
eral warrants issued in this county
for various offenses. The one held
by Constable Broaddus was an old
one, and Allen was not expecting the
arrest until the officer had him cor.
nered. He showed fight, however,
and met his deathsas stated above.
Mr.. Broaddus acted solely in self de.
| tense and will hardly be arrested for
the deed.

A Correction.


1t seems that the impression was
made on some who returned from the
Stevenson rally at Herndon, Ky, on
September I'd, on the special train,
that the GAINESVILLE Cornet Band was
not paid for their services forethat
day, as collection was taken up on
the train. To correct this, l will say
that the managers of the rally paid
me So in full for services of the band,
which was entirely satisfactory to the
members of band and myself. The
collection was taken up on train to
supplement expenses.

length is GO feet over all, including the tend
err. which is not included in the weight.
The size OF this locomotive may be estimat
cd from the fact that ordinary driving wheels
are only FIVE feet in diameter. There used to

SOME OF the northern republican

strange in that, and the papers referred

and Dudley, though they opposed the
nomination of Mr.. Harrison, will try to
buy bis election next November as they
did four years ago. Mr.. Daniel and
many other ofthe best and wisest DEM
ocrats in the country did not think Mr..
Cleveland the most available man for
the nomination, but he having been
nominated, and they being democrats,
there was nothing else for them to do
except to support him as earnestly as II
he had been their fayorite. But. be-

A GREAT RICE CRoP.-The New Or
leans Delta estimates that Louisiana
will produce this year from one and a
half to one and three-quarter million
barrels of clean rice. So far the season
has been excellent for the staple, and
now there is nothing to fear for it eX-
cept storms, which would beat 1t down
or excessive rains during the season for
harvesting the crop, and these are not
anticipated. The Delta says the large
quantity of rice planted this year is in
a large part due to the determination of
the Louisiana farmer not to put all of
his eggs in one basket" or, in other
words, not to plant exclusively cotton
or cane or any other one product.
