SHOT DEAD ON A HUNT.

A Load of Shot Intended for a Dove
Costs a Human Life.
AMERICUs, Ga, April S.-This morning
several gentlemen went to a field on the
plantation of J. W. Mize, two miles west Of
this city, to shoot birds. AT 8 o'clock, after
fine sport, Messrs. Lawson and Frank
Stapleton, Eshton Buchanan and others
were sitting in a group resting. A dove lit
upon the ground in front Of the party; each
in their anxiety to get the first shot probably
acted with more haste than discretion.
Buchanan was the first to aim and fire.
Frank Stapleton was sitting in front Of
Buchanan. He rose hastily from his seat
on the ground just in time to be killed. The
whole load from Buchanan's gun struck the
side OF his head, making frightful wound.
Lawson Stapleton fired twice at the retreat
ing bird before he learned the awful
fate of his brother. A shadow
is cast over the whole city, and darkest
gloom into two happy families. Both par
ties to the sad accident are prominent and
popular young men of this city. The de-
ceased was popular drummer, well-know
throughout all Southern Georgia. His pa
rents, g. J. Stapleton and his wife, cele-
brated their golden wedding in this city
two weeks ago. Buchanan is not 20 years
old, and is a son Of A. J. Buchanan, a lead
ing merchant. He is almost crazed with

Mr.. Turner raised point of order against

Messrs. Elliott of South Carolina, Nc

Mr.. Bynum's amendment was rejected, as
was also Mr.. Terry's.
The committee then rose and reported the
bill to The House.
Mr.. Turner gave notice that he would ask

The House then took a recess until 8
O'Clock, the evening session to be for the

FaEE COTTON BAaa1Na.

The House Devotes Another Day to
Talk About the Tariff
WASHINGTON. April s.-Interest In the
tariff discussion is steadily on the decline,
and the attendance in the House this morn
ing was small.
On motion of Mr.. McMillin of Tennessee
a resolution was adopted directing the COM
mittee on public lands to examine into the
circumstances under which certain leases
for parcels Of ground in Yellowstone Ma
tional park we're made in March, 1889, by
the Secretary of the Interior to.the Yellow
stone Park Association, and why they were
afterward rescinded and the same granted
TO one =. S. Hunuey.
Mr.. Enloe of Tennessee moved that the
House go into committee of the whole on
the private calendar. The motion WAS lost,
yeas 81, nays 104. And the House went
into committee on the cotton bagging bill.
Mr.. English of New Jersey opened the de-
bate in a speech against the bill. At the
beginning, he said, 1t was we'll 20 consider
the end. There was a jute trust in Cal
cutta, absolutely controlling the output of
the raw material. The moment the duty
was taken off jute American manufacturers
were placed at the mercy of that jute trust
Then bagging could be procured for cents

broken up, but when that was accomplished
the screws would be put on and we would
60 back to gunny at 30 cents yard.
HEMPHILL CHAMPIONS THE PLANTERS.
Mr. Hemphin Of South Carolina spoke in
favor of the pending bill. Under the exist
ing law the cotton planters Of the southern
states were taxed 10 cents on every dollar
invested in the cotton bagging industry
in the United States. All the talk
about the combine of Calcutta,
thousands of miles from the United
States, was not pertinent to the su ject,
when IL was remembered that in 1890 the
manufacturers Of cotton bagging in the
United States had formed a combine by
which they ran the price from or cents
to Is or Ii cents a yard. The cotton
raisers of the south asked to be relieved from
this burden of taxation.
Mr.. Simpson of Kansas announced him
self as an absolute free trader and he made
a speech in accord with his declaration.
The general debate having been con-
cluded the bill was read for amendment.
Mr.. Turner of Georgia, who was in charge
of the bill, moved to strike out the clause
which makes free "hoop or band iron, or
hoop or band steel, hared, splayed or

A SCHOOL TEACHER JAILED.

Mitchell, who has been teaching private
school here for several months, has gotten
himself into serious trouble by making i'm
proper proposals to some Of his young girl
students. The matter did not come to light
until yesterday. and Mitchell hearing of the
fact left town last night without giving any
one notice. Chief of Police Dampier wired
all the prominent points to stop him and
succeeded in having him arrested at Jesup
by the marshal of that town. Sheriff Har-
rell goes after him tonight and all of his
actions will be fully investigated and
justice melted out accordingly. Mitchell

ing some seventy-five scholars and was

WITCHES FIGHT ON SPARKS.

The Bill Asking the Receivers Re-
moval Now Before the Court.
MACON, GA, April s.-Another big rail-
road case is in progress in the superior court
here. McTighe & Co., who were the com
plainants in the petition to place the Macon
Construction Company in the hands Of a
receiver, now come before the court with a
petition for the removal Of w. B. Sparks,
the present receiver, and the appointment
Of another in his stead. The charges in
the bill are that Mr.. Sparks Is not
inn artial and is not proper person to
act as receiver. because 1t was through his
poor management that the property became
involved. The answer to the bill alleges
contract stretching and fraudulent collusion
with the former chief engineer, W. H.
Wells. Out of these charges have come SEN
sational personal cards in the public print
and at one time duel between Messrs.
Sparks and Wells seemed unavoidable. Mr..
Wells, however, announced that he would
vindicate himself in the courts Conse-
quently the interest is intense. The case
opened at 10 o'clock and after the examina-
ton OF few witnesses the argument began.
So far nothing sensational has developed
beyond reiteration of the charges of in
competency on the one side and fraud on
the other. The charges Of fraud against
MIR. Sparks have not yet come out. The
argument will conclude tomorrow. 1t ia
thought that the decision OF the court will
sustain Mr.. Sparks.

Jessie Brown, the fair "Galatea,"
the defendant, was widely known.in this city,

abused husband, based his case on an al
for the possession of a certain packet Of let
ters damaging to his wife's character,
which he wanted to use in obtaining a di-
vorce. The other parties to the tussle,
which took place in the house OF his father
inlaw, were the pretty "Galatea," her
father and her mother. 1t appeared that
these three had been too much

eyed, and the door having been

when the trap was set to rob him out Of the
letters, he eudeavored to retreat through

shown that he had cut himself by piece OF
