The assertion that postmaster Hig-

Dragging of his army record, or en-
deavoring to make any particular

AsaaSSinated by his Rival

MERlDEN, Miss. Dec. 27.-Word
comes tonight from town twenty miles
northwest of here and near the Laud-
erdale and Kemper county line, of a
most atrocious murder. On Thursday
night William Wright was married to
a Miss Phillips, at the residence
of The brides parents. Immediately
after the ceremony the bridal party re-
paired to the parlor, where the merry
making began. Suddenly a crash of
glass startled the party, and the next in
slant the groom cried out: "My God!
I'm shot" lie fell, and in few min.
utes expired in the arms of his newly
made wife. The assassin was a man
name1 Johnson, Wright's rival for the
hand of Miss Phillips. He waited out.
side the house until the ceremony was
performed and then discharged the con-
tents of a doublebarreled shotgun at
the form of Wright, which he could see
through the drawn shades. Johnson
was captured by a constable who hap
pened to be present at the wedding.
That official started with his prisoner
for Philadelphia, Miss, but it is sup
posed that Judge Lynch has meted out
just punishment to the assassin.

ORANGE, n. j., Dec. 2G-Frank f.
Williams, a milkman, was killed by an
electric shock on High street at IL
o'clock this morning. An old unused
wire OF the district messenger service
broke during the night and fell across
the wires OF the city lighting system,
which carry voltage Of 1000. This
morning while Williams was delivering
milk his horse went ahead and, coming
III contact with the wire, was knocked
down. Williams ran to its assistance,
and was struck in the face by the wire
which he caught hold Of with both
hands and held on to. No one saw the
accident. Williams body was taken to
the morgue. Roundsman Drabell
found the wire in dangerous condi
tion early in the night, and notified the
Essex County Electric company. The
engineer Of the company went to the
spot and made an examination and de-
cided that there was no danger.

Handful OF Gold.
AUGu STA, Ga, Dec. 25.-Tbere was

Ellis street, early yesterday morning,
Which vas transacted in a peculiar mao.
ner, and not in common with the gen.
crafty ot horse sales. 1t was a bargain
made on the spur Of the moment, and
now one man is out about $50. Early
In the morning Mr.. Nick johnson came
into the stables, having in one hand a
handful OF gold. Seeing Mr.. c. q. Dun.
agan, he said to him:
Il will give you ali the gold have

The receipt was then exchanged for
the handful of gold, and Mr.. johnson
went back and got the horse.
In the meantime, Mr.. Dunagan pro-
ceeded to count the gold. BY the time
MIR. johnson was in the act Of riding
out of the stables on his horse, Mr.. Dun
agau had finished counting the money,
and to his astonishment he found the
amount was only $75.
"Ho d on" said Mr.. Dunagan, "there
is only $75 here.'
Ies, l know it," was Mr.. Johnson's
reply, and started to ride off.

Joking when ma ie the bargain"
"Jo King or no joking, you have the
money and hold your receipt, and the
horse is mine," replied Mr.. Johnson.
The two gentlemen then entered into
an animated discussion as to the owner
ship of that bay horse. fIr. johnson
finally said that he wonld return the
horse, provided Mr.. Dunagan would re-.
turn The $50 and $40 additional. This
proposition did not meet with the ap-
probation Of Mr.. Dunagan, and he said
he would go before a magistrate and
swear out warrant against Mr.. John
son; The two men then went down to
Judge Hopkins court. Here, after
some more talk, seeing that the receipt
WIS dead against him, Mr.. Dunagan
SAID that he would give Mr.. Johnson
the SS5.
But the delay was fatal one for MIR.
Dunagan, for Mr.. johnson had raised
his ante $40, and now declared that it
would cost SIPS for Mr.. Dunagan to get.
his horse back. This was too much for
| Mr.. Dunagan, but he could do nothing
! The whole matter was finally settled
by Mr.. Johhsen promising to sell the
horse at the best price he could, and all
over Sl25 was to be turned over to Mr..
Dunagan. Mr.. Dunagan is now a sad
der but wiser man. lie is convinced
that it is by experience that we gain

The Augusta Evening Herald, the
first paper that charged Mr.. Leitch
with being drunk, sticks to its charge,
and on the 18th Instant published the
following:
"The Columbia Records informant is
considerably OFT. Mr.. Leitch, the noted
evangelist, who was spoken of in the
llerald'S article, was most certainly
drunk and good old fashioned drunk
at that. He came to the Augusta Hotel
In the afternoon and was assigned to
room No. 18. at this time he was So
ber. About ten o'clock Tuesday night
he was seen to vomit on the Office floor
and was so drunk that he did not know
he had done so. Night Clerk II. j..
Wilson then refused to allow him to re.
main in The hotel, statiug that he could
not have the rooms messed up. The
Herald never publishes what it cannot
prove, aud, if wanted by the parties
concerned, the above will be substan-
tiated by aflidavits from respected citi.
ZenS of Augusta. With all due respect
to Mr.. Pickett, the Herald is compelled
to inform the public that his statement
to the Record was a mistake and that
MIR. Leljch was very drunk"
In reply to this last article of the
lerald, lteV. IL. IL. IIckett, OF Colum-
bia, writes the Record OF that city as
follows:
81 see the Augusta Herald denies my
statements relative to the arrival of
Mr.. Leitch in Augusta at O'Clock
tuesday night. 1t says he came to the
Augusta Hotel in the afternoon. Inl
this the Herald is emphatically wrong.
Mr.. Leitch and Rev. J. Ware Brown
travelled with me from Catersville, Ca,
that day, arriving on the Georgia Rail
road tram at 8 p. m. st. Louis (their)
time, 8 o'clock Washington (our) time.
On leaving the depot Mr.. Leitch was
perfectly sober. l cannot answer for
him at later hour"
