 FATAL RESULTS.

SETTLED WITH PISTOLS, AND PERHAPS
 FATAL RESULTS.
 SAVANNAH, Ga, Sept. 20.-A Morning News special from Sylvania, Ga., says; Sheriff L. B. Brooker of Screven county was seriously shot this evening by George M. Zsigler and his son Sol. The shooting occurred at zsigler st ttion, five miles from Sylvania.
 Brooker was coming from Savannah, where he went after a prisoner, and when he boarded the train at Rockyford George Zsigler was on the train. Brooker is a oemocratan candidate for sheriff. Zsig- Ter is populist. It seems that they en- tered into political discussion a little be- fore. the train reached z .igler station, and came to blows when Conductor West in- terfered and parted them. Whsn the :ran reached Zsigler station Zeigler got off and was soon joined by his son Sol. Soon after this the fight commenced.
 The shooting was done by Zeigler and Brooker. The latter was shot in the head and may die. George Zeigler is shot just a little above the heart, while his son Sol re- ceived a wound in the arm. The e;der Zsigler is perhaps fatally injured.

BLUEFlELDS NEWS.
No Change in the Situation Business Very Discouraging-The Americans
 to Have Fair Trial.

NEW ORLEANS, s 'pt. 20. The steamer John Wilson arrived this afternoon from Bluefields.
 On board the steamer was Capt. James Brown, agent of the Oteri line at Blue- fields, who has returned to the states for a short while. Captain Brown said to re- porter of the Times Democrat that affairs were practically in the same condition as reported by the steamer Gussie.
 The Nicaraeuans are pursuing the even tenor of their way and are administering tue government of tue reservation accord ing to their own way of thinking.
 Business in the town of Bluefields is very dull, and there does not appear to be much chance for revival of trade. The banana planters are shipping nearly the same quantity of fruit, but the demand is not as good as it might be for this season of the year. The disturbed condition of things in the reservation for the past several months has destroyed the confidence of the foreigners in nearly everything connected with the country, and it is useless to ex- pect much progress until all danger of more internal disruptions are over.
 The United States warship Marblehead, which has been lying off the bluffs, has gone to Port limon. She carried back the two Americans, Sim Hampton and Captain Millbanks, who had been carried to the country from Costa Rica by the British ship Mohawk.
 Captain O'Neill of the Marblehead had taken the two men to Bluefields with the intention of seeing them tried, at their own request, for the crimes which the Nicara- guau commissioners have laid to them, but both Madris and CabiZas, who still have supreme control of affairs in Blu6elds, would not grant permission for the men to be given trial, and would not allow them to be taken ashore. MT. Hampton and Captain Millbanks are anxiously waiting for per- mission to be granted by the commissioners for trial in Bluefieids, and when the Mar blebead left the bluffs without the desired trial taking place, they were greatly disappointed.
 It is said in Bluefields that the American secretary of state, MT. Gresham, has wired the American minister, MT. Baker, to have the two refugees returned to Blue fields and to see that they are given fair and impartial trial, with captains of the different vessels present at the trial.
 When the John Wilson left her anchor age at the bluffs the United States warship Columbia was lying off the coast.

THE DISPENSARY CASES.
SUPREME COURT THOUGHT TO HAVE AR.
 RIVED AT DECISION.

SUPREME COURT THOUGHT TO HAVE AR-
 RIVED AT A DECISION.
 COLUMBIA, s. o., Sept. 20.-The Regis- ter will publish an article in the morning in which it says it has reliable authority for stating that the judges of the supreme court have written their decisions in the celebrated dispensary cases.
 The in formation is that Justices Pope and Gary will declare for the constitution ality of the law in toto, while Chief Justice McIver will maintain its unconstitution- ality on the same grounds advanced by him in a previous decision. This is the way everybody expected the decision to be rendered, and the story is likely true.
 The opinions of the justices have not yet been filed with the clerk of the court. When such a decision is rendered the au- thoritios will resume their warfare on "blind tigers'' with increased vigor, and it will be strange If much trouble does not follOW..

GALVESrON'S MAYOR


CREATES A STARVATION BY SAYING THE
 CITY WAS BEING ROBBED.
 GALVESTON, Tex, Sept. 20.-Mayor Fly created a sensation at the council meeting this evening. He made speech in which, after calling attention to the refusal of the council heretofore to have the bond of the city examined by experts, said:
 "The city has been systematically robbed for several years. One corporation holds receipts for S170O, and no record is shown of 1t on the city's books. The books must be examined, and if it is not done at the expense of the city it will be done at pri- vate expense.
 The speech of the mayor had the desired effect-the council at once appointed com mittee to select experts to examine the books.

ANOTHER CHINESE DEFEAT.

LONDON, Sept. 20.--A dispatch received by the London News agency says the Japaness claim to have won a victory in the engagement with the Chinese fleet at Yula on the 17th.
 Advices from Yokohama state that the Japanese army, which defeated the Chinese troops at Ping Yang, and captured that city, are marching toward Wi Ju, from which point they will proceed to Moukdeu.
 The Central News says private dispatch was received here which states that nine Japanese and twelve Chinese warships were engaged in the battle at the mouth of the Yula river on the 17th. This dispatch says also that while the Chinese lost four ships the Japanese lost none, though their fleet sustained considerable injury.
 l. A dispatch to the Central News from Shanghai dated at 9:35 a. m., September 20 states that the Chinese warsnips, which were engaged in the naval battle at Yula on the 17th were the Ting Yuen, Chin Yuen, King Yuen, Pilg Yuen, Lai Yuen, Chin Yuen, Ching Yuen, Ts1 Yuen, Chao Yung, Yang Wei, Kuang Chai, Kuang Ping and four torpedo boats. This fleet was conveying six transports loaded with troops, which were en route to reinforce the Chinese army at Yichow.
 The feet arrived off the eastern entrance to the Yuia on the morning ot the l7th, in- tending to land troops inside the mouth Of the river. At noon of that oay the Japan ese fleet, consisting of nineteen warshps, appeared and immediately opened fire upon the transports. The Chinese fought hard until dusk, when the Japanese retired, supposedly on account of their shortage of ammunition. The Japanese warships Abushima and Yoshima and the transport Saikio were damaged, but to what extent, it has ot yet been learned. The Chinese fleet, with the exception of the King Ynen, Chih Yuen,- Chao Yung and Yang Wei, returned to Wei Hai Wei with the transports. All of the vessels were greatly damaged.
 It is reported that the transport Toonan was lost, but this is regarded as doubtful. The Chinese fleet will proceed to Port Ar thur for repairs. Admiral Ting and Colo nei Hanneken were slightly wounded, but havk resumed their duties.

O'Neill, Neb, Dec. 2S.-For some time
past stories Of extreme destitution have
come from Boyd county and various
parts of Holt county, but they had
seemed 50 improbable that the people
here hardly credited them. Inquiry
shows, however, that the stories We're
not exaggerated. The situation in
Boyd county is bad, and if the people
there are not helped soon they will
starve or freeze to death.
j. NJ. Smith, who lives on what is
called the Three Mile Strip on the state
line, was in O'Neill today, and he tells
many narrowing stories of the condi-
tion of the people in his part of Boyd
county. He says that what is true Of
the people there is also true in almost
all parts of the country. Mr.. Smith
came with commission from the peo-
pie of his section to collect supplies. He
gathered considerable -four and pro-
visions today and forwarded them.
