o prominent citizen of Worth county, was
shot and instantly killed at Sylvester. by
his cousin, DR.. Ashton 7. Ford, last night
al 6 o'clock.
The killing was a most lamentable af-
fair.
DR.. Ashton T. Ford was an own cousin
n the dead man and had been his fam
nv physician since W. ]. Ford's removal
rom Albany to Sylvester about two
months ago.
From reports reaching the city to-day
If appears that the tragedy grew out of
the sickness of little nene, the daughter
Of w. J. Ford, and her treatment by Dr..
Ford. Ilene did not improve as fast as
her father thought she should have done
and he called to her bedside DR.. w. l..
Davis of this city.
DR. Ford was in this city yesterday
ana it is said that before reaching home
he made threats against the life OF W.
L Ford, saying the latter had made re-
marks about him that he would have TO
axe back DR.. Ford was under the in
duence of stimulants at the time and was
IN that condition when he reached home,
where. shortly after he arrived, he began
playing with w. J. Ford's little boy

Dr Ford says w. j. Ford attacked him
with a heavy stick and he fired in self
defense. He at once armed himself with

WAYCROss WATER WORKS.
The Commissioners Acting In the Iva.
terest of the city.

The Commissioner Acting I'm the Ia
terest of the city.
Waycross, Ga, Oct 23-It seems that
the object of the water works commits
sioners in abandoning the steam pump
for a new air system was to reduce the cost
of insurance by providing ample facili-
ties for pumping the water so as to OBJ
tain the required number of gallons per
hour. The Insurance companies refuse to
give favorable rates to Waycross unless
the pumping capacity is larger than IL
now Is, and hence the commissioners have
put in the new air system. The matter
of buying the air system was put before
the mayor and Council, who concurred
with the plan of the commissioners.
The present rate Of insurance Is 81
cents on the dollar, which is considered
unbearable by the business men.
As the rate of insurance is determined
by the water supply and the efficiency OF
the fire department, the commissioners
have done the city a timely favor in pro
viding the necessary FACILITIES afpr obtain
ing suilcient supply of water. lr
The cost of the air system will be saved
In the course of year or two by TIE re-
duction Of the cost of fire insurance that
Will result from the Improvement of the
water works facilities

TIMIDITY OF THE MORMONs.
Court officers Unable to Find Any
Threat in the Letter Sent Them.

Raleigh, N. c.. Oct. 2S.-Judge Coble of
the superior court referred to Solicitor
Pou the letter sent to the four Mormon
elders in this county notifying them to
leave, and which they referred to Gov.
Carr. Solicitor Pou says that unless the
Mormons can show conspiracy to force
them to leave he can not see how the
slgners of the letter can be prosecuted.
As long as the elders obey the law they
are entitled to preach, but any number of
tlllzens may protest against such preach
ms and may go so far as to request the
men TO leave the community and. yet not
violate the laws. He has read the paper
presented to the governor and fails to per-
ceve any threat He feels that so far as
me state is concerned there is nothing to
ne done. If any conspiracy is formed, or
any injury done the Mormons he prom
!seS them they shall have the same pro-
lection as any citizens The solicitor sug-
SestS that the Mormons are unduly SEN
sltlVe and that st. Paul would hardly have
taken fright at such slight provocation.

WOULD JUMP Off THE BRIDGE
John Benjamin Attempts 10 End His
Earthly Pilgrimage By the
Suicide BOute.
After Being Arrested He Tries to
Bntt His Brains out Against
the Wall.

John benjamin was arrested Tuesday
morning on the wagon bridge by Mr..
Gore, who seized him just in the nick of
time as he was about to jump off into
the swift current of the Missouri river
below. He noticed the man acting
strangely and as he approached him
Benjamin ciambered over the railing
and tried 10. jump just as Mr.. Gore
clutched him. After talking to him a
few minutes Mr., Gore became convinced
that he was insane and turned him over
10 the police. City Detective Germ, who
happened along opportunely, directed d
policeman to take him to the Jail while
he started out to learn something about
the man. 1t Wae impossible, how
ever, Tuesday to learn much about
his antecedents. When he was first
locked up Marshal Pontet was inclined
to think he had been drinking and the
attempted suicide was d grand stano
play, He changed his mind, however
last night, when his prisoner became
raving mad and attempted to kill himsel
by buttlng his head against the wall il
the jail like a goat. The prisoners CAV
the alarm and the crazy man was secured
He was so violent that he had to b.
~handcuffed, manacled and her wrapped
up in a blanket to prevent him from
doing himself an injury. The marsha
sent for the county attorney and an in
formation will be filed today charginI
him with insanity.
Affairs at the city Jail were quit
lively for a while after Benjamin becam
violent, for the revolution of the wheel
in his head started up another prisone
who is also considered somewhat insane
and whose name is Thomas Sheehy. H
is serving out a three day sentence fo
drunkenness, but the marshal says h
has also a full set Of wheels in his heat
and Benjamin's actions set them goin
so that for a time the city Jail resemble
a ward in the lunatic asylum.
