NEW ORLEANS, July ga. w. Alex
ander, labor agent, 80 years old, was shot
and killed by his brother law, A. H.
Jones, 26 years old, at the door of the
latters residence last night Alexander
was native of Admission, Ala. A few
years ago he kept fancy goods store in
Oxford, Alabama, and there wooed and
won Miss Jones, daughter of Joseph
Jones, real estate agent. A few
months after their marriage Alexander
left Oxford and with the Jones
family went to New Orleans. From
this time the trouble began-Alexande
badly treating his wife whom he finally
deserted. At Cincinnati he met a
handsome young woman, a member of
an influential New York family, who be-
came infatuated with him. Together
they left Cincinnati for Birmingham
where he deserted her leaving her al
most penniless. Driven to dispair the
woman committed suicide in one of
the hotel rooms. After leaving Cincin-
natti Alexander returned to New Orleans
and sought his wife but was refused ad
mission to the house by her father, with
"hoih oHo was living. by continual
begging and entreating he gained the
fathers consent and once more was re-
ceived in the household He worked
occasionally but was mostly depend
ent for his bed and board on the
Jones family On several occa-
sions during the past two years he has
threatened to kill his wife and her con
nections. Yesterday afternoon Paul
Jones, aged II, brother of Mrs. Alex
ander, was playing on the street. Alex
ander walked past the lad, called him,
and showing him sword bayonet said
Il will be home to night and kill the last
one of you" The boy ran home and
told his sister what he had seen. A,

house, and on the door being opened by
his brother-inlaw, A. H. Jones, Alex
ander making a motion in the direction
of his hip pocket, Jones drew a revolver
and shot him twice, death being almost
instantaneous. Jones was placed under

THE COLUMBIA LAUNCHED.
MISS MORTON BREAKS THE hot.
TIE AT THE PROV.
The Construction of the ship IA Tri-
umPh TO American skill and
Work m an.hip.

By Telegraph TO the State Chronicle.
PHILADELPHIA. Pa, July 26.-The
baptism of the Columbia this afternoon
at Cramps ship yard is triumph of
American skill and workmanship. There
is not a single portion of the vessel
which was not wrought and wholly pro-
duced in Uncle Sans domains. And so
she will be when she floats complete and
ready to scour the seas, for the law
authorizing her construction requires her
to be wholly of American manufacture.
The young lady who was selected to
break the bottle at the Columbia's prov
was Miss Edith Morton, the daughter of
Vice President Morton, and accompany
ing her were the vice-president, Mrs
Morton, younger daughter and few
friends. There were also number of
naval officers present. Heading the list
was secretary of the navy Tracey, and
with him was nearly all chiefs of
bureaus. AS she slid off the ways Miss
Morton christened her Columbia" with
gaily decorated bottle of champaign
The cruiser gracefully slid from the ways
and beautifully settled in the water. As
The stern struck the river every whistle
in the vicinity began shrieking and the
pandemonium continued for some min
utes. The Columbia's anchor was cast
when the middle of the river was reached
The first keel plate of the Columbia was
laid December 30, 1890, and the work of
construction has been carried on with
unabated energy. 1t is estimated that
the vessel will be put in commission
within a year. Her complement will
consist of 426 men, and 30 officers.
In appearance the cruiser resembles
closely an ordinary merchantmen,
the sides being nearly clear of projec-
tions or sponsors, which ordinarily ap
pear on vessels of war. Twenty -one
payments have been made the contractor.
on account Of the hull and machinery
amounting, with the ten per cent reser
vation on each payment, to $1,716, 765
The general plan of the ship was tn,
conception of the secretary of the navy
aided by the heads of his departments.
