a Store Keeper at Shiloh Dangerously
Wounds a Contractor.

Oak Mount, Ga, July 23.-Late last
night a serious alteration occurred in
Shiloh between John Neal, a prominent
merchant of that place, and William P.
Mcdonnell, contractor who came from
Macon few days ago. Mcdonnell was
drinking in Meals store, and commenced
cursing Will Pitts, of Wayerly Hall,
Neal's brother-in-law. Neal took the
abuse as a personal Insult and ordered
Mcdonnell to cease, which he refused to
do. Neal then knocked Mcdonnell down
with his fist.
When the latter arose he put his hand
on his pocket as if to draw a weapon.
Neal opened his pocket knife and made a
thrust at Mcdonnell, disemboweling him
and making wound that is likely
to prove fatal, though he is alive

The Veteran Actor Near Death and
Heroic Treatment Necessary.
New York, July 23.-The Press this
morning says Joseph Jefferson, the
veteran actor, is near death, and cancer
Gus affection of the neck is the cause of
it. Mr.. Jetferson's physicians have been
SO far steadily baffled by his disease,
which is attributed partly to inherited
tendency and partly to carelessness in
the treatment of boil that appeared
near his cervical vertebrB sometime
ago. However, the general mys-
terry thrown about the
malady renders diagnosis almost impossi-
BILE to obtain. Curiously enough, the
secret nearly leaked out week ago and
through misunderstanding, the come
dams warm friend, President Cleveland,
was credited with the cancerous trouble
instead of Mr.. jefferson. OF course
skillful physician may stave off the worst
for some time to come, but it can be
stated positively that radical measures
must speedily be resorted to if Americas s
comedian is not soon to go the way Of

T1LLMAN's DEsPoT1o LAW.
Judge Hudson Points Out One of It's
Dangerous Sections.

Dangerous Sections.
Columbia, S. c., July 23.-Judge Hud-
sons decision, refusing an injunction on
an order of search and seizure in the case
of J. M James, of Darlington, a saloon
keeper, reported for selling liquor, is fir
ing the hearts of the administration. It's
local organ to-day says it can no longer
restrain its indignation. It says Judge
Hudson ought to be impeached, and char
acterizes him as the liquor mans best
friend.
In refusing the injunction Judge Hud-
son says: whilst the court sitting in
equity has jurisdiction of an action to
abate public nuisance, yet an injunction
viii not be granted as long as the exist
ence of the nuisance is doubtful. In such
cases it will withhold its hand. until the
question of nuisance or no nuisance is de-
cided by the verdict of jury, nor will a
preliminary injunction be granted unless
the complaint is supported
and determinate; or if made on
information and belief, the sources of in
formation and grounds of belief must be
circumstantially and definitely given
The present complaint and affidavit are
so fatally defective in this respect, that
preliminary or lnterlOCutOry injunction
cannot be supported thereby. The search
warrant is refused because it is a Grim
inal process and wholly foreign to equity
jurisdiction"
A DANGEROUS POWER.
In discussing the section of the dispen-
sary act authorizing an officer to search
a mans premises and confscate his per-
sonal property Judge Hudson says: "If
the construction Of the act contended
for by the plaintiff be correct, or if the
act be enforced as its terms demand, then
no citizen of the land, high or low, in city
town or country, of whatever calling,
trade or business, is safe
from unreasonable searches and
seizures, and if perchance he shall keep
wines or liquors in his place of business
or residence for the private use of his
family and friends, the liquors and all
personal property are liable to seizure, to
abide the result Of the Indictment or an
action for abating a nuisance. Each and
every citizen is thus placed at the mercy
of the envy. malice and revenge of a Sc
cret SPY or hostile neighbor. The dan
gerOus consequences of such license and
immunity given to the malicious prose
cutors are too apparent to call for com
ment.N

WILD SHVERITES.

There was an exciting convention Of
silver advocates in Denver, Col, Thus
day.
The delegates were for free silver or
blood!
Governor Waite voiced the sentiment
OF the convention as follows:
eff the money powers shall attempt to
sustain its usurpation by the strong hand,
we viii meet that issue when it is forced
upon us. If it be true that the United
States is unable to carry out its govern
mental policy without the dictation OF
consent of foreign powers; if we are a
province OF European monarchies, then
we need another revolution, another ap-
peal to arms and we have won that bat
tie
The war has begun the same war
which must always be Waged against
oppression and tyranny to preserve the
liberties of man."
The governor remarks were endorsed
by unanimous vote.
1t seems to us this display of temper
and excitement will hurt the cause Of
silver more than it will help.it.
The Colorado miners make the mis-
cake Of supposing that they have the
sight to coerce the people OF the United
States.
The people are represented by congress
and the democrats have control Of every
branch of government. Until there is
proof to the contrary we mus give the
representatives of the people credit for
honorable motives. 1t is as easy to
charge bribery and corrup ion against
the silver mine owners as 70 charge it
against the money power Are they
not working for silver coinage because it
is their interest? and is there not as
much human nature in a silver king as
in a goldbug?
The governor of Colorado wants an APP
peal 10 arms to throw off the yoke OF the
m pney power of Europe. What absurd
talk that is! The southern farmers might
as well demand of Liverpool 10 cents a
pound for cotton and threaten war if it
is refused
All this wild talk shows that the Colo
RADIO people doubt the strength of their
cause, and are seeking to bully the rest
