 Friday morning, il. f Iatton. d prominent merchant of that place. was found near his store braincd, and with his throat cut from ear to ear. The ground was soaked with blood. show ing he had evidently struggled for fife To the last. His pistols. lead pencil and broken lamp were found on the platform of the store, where he was just going to close the door After dragging the body to the rear of the building, the murdetcrs rifled the pockets of the dead man, secured the store key, and robbed the store of clothing. The confusion in the build ing showed that the robbers were in great haste.
 FOLLOWED AND CAUGHT.
 The store is situated a considerable distance from MeGhee station. hence the crime was not discovered until Fri day morning, when the sheriff of Desha county followed the murderers here. where they arrived on q freight train, and were promptly arrested by Chief of Police J. A. Langford, who had been asked to be on the lookout In their possession were found SIS and lot of new clothing, which they attempted to leave in the caboose, when the brake man handed them to the officers.
 CONFESSED TIE CRIME.
 They were takan back to the scene of their crime yesterday morning, and were taken charge of by mob at the station. They made full confession of their crimes The sheriff, being without assistance was powerless, and could make no resistance. They were taken to the spot where Patton,s body was found and strung up to a telegraph pole, nearly every man in the party emptylng his pistol into the swinging forms of the assassins Some 300 per sons. whites and blacks, participated in the summary execution.

 Fight at the Mouth of the Yalu.
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-Thc seere- tarY of the navy has received two eablegrams from Admiral Carpenter. commanding the Asiatic station, both dated Tien-Tsin, September 2l. The first says:
 Chinese routed, Ping Yang, 18th. Sixteen thousand killed or wounded. Niceroy lost feather and jacket under edict prior to recent defeat
 The second one, which is regarded as very important as it is the first official dispatch from naval source, is as fol lows:
 Naval engagement, Yalu, 17th Chi nj SC loss: Chaotong, Ching Yuen and Ciih Yuen sunk; Yang Wei on shore partly burned; Chin Yuen vanished during fight, probably sunk. Re ported Japanese loss, threen dN The eablegrams were unsigned, a9s..y as Admiral Carpenter is the only officer in the east authorized to send unsigned messages, no doubt is entertained that he sent them. Confidence is also ex. pressed ut the navy department that he has fully verified his statements as to the Chinese losses, proba bly, by per- sonal observation, as his flagship, Mo noeaey, is the enly vessel of the fleet on the Chinese coast. the others being in Corean or Japanese ports.
 The naval intelligence bureau ex- presses the conviction that no Chinese armored vessels have been lost, as all the ships mentioned in the dispatch are small unarmored cruisers.

 Ellis was formerly a teacler in Bryant's college, but about six months ago difference arose between thcm and Ellis severed his connection with the institution. Bryant was very jealous of the patronage of his college, and when he learned that Ellis would open an opposition school hc became very bitter in his denunciation of him, and set about to. convince the public that Ellis was a bad man and entire ly unfit to train the youth of the eoun- try He entered into correspondence with parties in other states where Ellis had previously lived, and from these secured a number of letters which were very damaging to his character These he showed to a number of citizens and then invited Ellis to go to a hotel with him, saving he would read them.
 ACCEPTED TIE INVITATION
 Ellis was sitting in book store on Broad street at 9 o'clock when this in- vitation was extended. He promptly accepted il and followed Bryant to the hotel, where, after q short quarrel, Bryant suggested that they adjourn to d point outside the city limits and set tie their differences with q fist fight. Ellis accepted this invitation also, and they walked to point about a0o yards distant, where they stopped and pulled off their coats. Bryant then whipped out q pistol and began faurishine it in the bright electric light which was close hy. Ellis insisted that he was unarmed, and asked Bryant to put aside his pistol, but the latter said: No, l am going to shoot you now
