Sensational Killing.

AT Helena, Ark, ON yesterday after
noon Dr. Overton Moore was shot and
instantly killed by DR.. g. II. Shin
bault. Both palties TO the tragedy
are prominent and popular young
physicians Of that city. No previous
trouble so far as known had existed
between the parties prior to the diff
Guilty which led to the killing. The
difficulty is reported to have occurred
as follows Capt Dan Peck, well
known builder, had his leg broken
yesterday afternoon and sent in a
hurry for DIR. Moore, who could not
be found. The messenger did find
DR.. ShimauIt, however, and the latter
went TO Captain Peck's residence and
was at work setting the broken leg
when DR.. Moore arrived. Ascertain
ing that Shimault was there, Moore
sent for him and the two engaged in
heated colloquy at the front door,

A Deserved Compliment.

w. Il. Leroy has moved from Hon
ey Grove and will make Texarkana
his home in the future. II is with
deep regret that we part with Mr. Lee
Roy as he was u good citizen and one
of the best tailors within our knowl-
edge. In his trade he had few equals
and so far as we know, no superiors.
We are glad to know that he is not
so far off that he cannot look after his
old Honey Grove trade, as he informs
US that he expects to give Honey
Grove his special attention and will
extend our people the same courtesies
as when he was in Dur midst.
The above deserved compliment Is
paid to Texarkana's most excellent
and popular merchant tailor, Mr.. W.
r. Leroy, who, during his compare
lively brief residence in our city, has
succeeded, not alone in building up a
large and select trade, but has won
for himself high place in the esteem
and confidence Of this people. 2-17-2w

AT the home Of his parents, in this
city, at 8 O'Clock this morning, the in
fant son of Mr.. and Mrs. j. ID. Cook.
Many hearts will tbrob in sympathy
with these sorely afflicted parents,
over the sad loss Of their darling, who
came to brighten and make glad, for
brief space, the home circle, then to
vanish out Of the sight and keeping Of
its loved ones, borne by the inexora-
Bile messenger Of death to those realms
of eternal life. The earnest sympathy
of all friendly hearts goes out with
one accord to these bercaved and sor.
sowing ones.

SAD BEYOND MEASURE.

That the actual lives of men afford
real scenes Of acute sorrow and pro-
found suffering beyond the power Of
mind to conceive or pen to portray
even in the widest flight of immagi-
nation, is viyidly exempliiied in the
touching description of recent meet
ing between Count Ferdinand DE
Lesseps, the world renowned engin-
eer, and his son Charles, both under
sentence of Imprisonment, and their
once famous and honored name stain
ed with scandal and tarnished with
reproach. The affecting scene took
place at the family home in La Ches-
naye, France, where the aged and al
most demented Count has been kept
in ignorance of his own and his fami-
ly's disgrace. The following account
of the meeting reached this country
by cable yesterday:
"Charles De Lesseps remained all
yesterday with his father Ferdinand,
at La Chesnaye. The aged DE les
seps recognized and embraced his son,
ignorant of the judgment that had
doomed them both to imprisonment.
Charles managed to assume cheerful
aspect, in order that his father might
not suspect the truth. Charles intro
duced the detectives, whose prisoner
he was, as friends who had accompan-
led him from Paris, and Ferdinand re-
ceiyed them in as much of his old
debonnaire fashion as his condition
and weakened faculties would permit.
They all chatted together, and when
dinner time came Ferdinand invited
the visitors to dine, privilege of
which they would have availed them
selves whether invited or not.
"Ferdinand's mind still fingered on
the possibilities Of the Panama canal,
and now and then he spoke optimisti-
cally about the revival of the enter
prise and the eventual union under
French auspices of the waters of the
Atlantic and Pacific. Charles listened
mutely to his fathers utterances on
the subject, the remarks being of an
erratic character, which indicated
that the intellect Of the veteran diplo-
mat and engineer had lost its ancient
strength. The family, including
Ferdinand and Charles, dined at the
same table with their detective guests.
When evening came Ferdinand again
embraced his son and expressed u
hope that he would soon see him
again. Then the detectives, who had
never once left harles entirely alone,
escorted him back to Paris, and he
was lodged again in the Conciergerie
at 5 o'clock in the morning.
"JIenry Cottu, of the Panama de-
PENDANTS under sentence, Is In London
and will thence go to Vienna, after
wards returning to Paris to meet the
penalty imposed upon him, provided
his appeal against the sentence is not
euatainedD
