ternoon between two Young men of
good standing in the town, Ben c,
Parker and Z. j. Fuller. The for
mer used a pair of brass knncks
freely on the latter, who in the
meantime drew his pistol and shot
Parker dead. Fuller Immediately
gave himself up and is now in the

ture from the burning residence,

most a total wreck. There was an
insurance of $500 on the property
burned, including the furniture. The
fire caught in the gables, supposed
from a spark from the kitchen chin
ney, and burned so rapidly, that
the entire second story, back, was
engulfed in flames before the family
discovered the burning or the alarm
was given.

mean when i dduclared last year al
Chicago that "the dollar unit OF
coinage of both metals must be OF
equal intrinsic and exchangeable

and pron:ees OF his party,
