On this attempt, near Goethte, a posse
headed by Deputy Sheriff Dexter. OF Bibb
County, got Morrison and a pal named
Davis in close place, and a desperate
duel resulted. Dexter was killed and Da-
Wis wounded and captured. Davis was
with Morrison in the mines, and escaped
with him. For a long time Morrison had
been living in disguise and under cover
near the scene OF his death, and Cole,
learning the exact location. determined,
if possible, to capture him. With the as
sistance of a Mr.. Hubbard, Cole went
to place where 1t was known Morrison
would come last night, and waited in
the woods for him.

TO throw up your hands," Instead of
doing this. he took his Winchester from
his shoulder. but was not quick enough,
Cole firing and landing five buckshot in
his body and heart from a double-barreled
gun.
Morrison lived but short time. He was
brC Ught here to-day and identified by two
of his brothers. in jail under indictments,

THE COLORED SUNS.
PLANETS That Have Plurality of VarIe-

Planets That Have q Plurality of Varie-
gated Luminarles.
For hundreds of years it has been the
dream of the speculative astronomer to
prove that life exists in some form on
part or all of the millions of stars which
1urround us. For ages, says the St.
Louis Republic, men believed that our
globe was the center of all things, and
that the stars and planets moved about
it like che automatic celestial bodies in
an observatory. To-day it is positively
, known that our little world is but a
grain of sand floating in the great sea
OF space, and that myriads of other
similar grains, some smaller and some
larger, also float in the same ethereal
ocean, and have so hoated for millions
OF years without coming in collision
with each other. So, too, it is with the
sun. Some imagine that the great,
warm, brazen orb which is Just now
forcing spring up; the valley is the only
one in the great universe. Astrono-
mers believe differently, and have
proven, to their own satisfaction at
least, that there are hundreds of such
bodies, each surrounded by his train of
planets. Some sets of planets, like our
own solar system, have but one sun;
others two or three. One of the great
est curiosities in the matter of plural
suns is exhibited in what is known as
the ''solar system of Gamma" where
each planet has continuous daylight
furnished by three suns, each of q diff
fcrent color. Neither of the three
blazing orbs mentioned is of the white
color of our sun-that solar trinity be-
ing composed of suns of yellow, blue
and green. They are so set in space
that when one is at the zenith another
is either rising or setting. What glo-
rious sight that must be to possible
observer in the system of Gammal

HOW A BRIDE WAS WON.

Sharp business Practice OF Young Mr..
Labouchere, n Clerk.
In 1882 Mr.. Labouchere, a relative of
the present member of parliament of
that name, was clerk in the banking
, house of Hope, of Amsterdam.
. One day lie was sent by his parervs
to Mr.. Barring, the celebrated London
: banker, to negotiate loan. '..+ =
He displayed in the affair so much
ability as to entirely win the esteem
and confidence of the English banker.

Barring, ''your daughter is charming

young man, you are joking; for,
seriously, you must allow that Miss
Barring could never become the wife of

But" said Labouchere, "if were in
partnership with Mr.. HopeP"
'!Oh, that would be quite different
thing; that would entirely make up for
I'll other deficiencies"
Returned to Amsterdam, Labouchere
said to his patron:
"You must take me into partnership"
My young friend, how can you think
Of such thing? 1t is impossible. You

Mr.. Daring?"
''In that case the affair would be soon

him into partnership, and he became

A Fair Rendition.

"What does the word '1ittorar meanP"
asked the teacher.
"Along the shore or pertaining to the
hore," replied boy who had studied
his lesson.
''Now," she said to the next one, who
was too bright to study very hard;
"how would you use the word in the
sentences: The passengers were trans
ferred from the stranded steamer to
the shore?'"
Possibly the teacher didn't mean it
just that way; in any event, the boy
didn't understand very clearly, but he
went at it just the same.
"Well," he replied, "I'd call it lit
toral and let It go at that. S."-Detroit

Athens, Ga, April 26.-The northern sec

for many a thrilling story OF mountain
life IL is prominently the home OF the

An incident that happened a few nights
ago an the adjoining county furnishes
story of thrilling interest. A highly es-
teemed lady figures in the incident. her
name being suppressed in order to pro-

This lady lived near an Illicit distillery
and two of her sons were so violently ad-
alcted 10 hquCl that they just lived at

would solve the question. She found out
the exact location OF the still and a few
nights since, in the darkness of the night
with an axe in her hand, she crept down
the gorge to the still house. II was a
lonely trip, but the brave woman never
ninched- When sh0 reached the scene no
one was around. With a. frw quick blows
or the axe she smashed the still and
turned out upon the ground a thousand
sallons OF beer and a quantity of whisky.

hour there was a constant stream of fire
men, carrying women down the ladders,
though, in many cases, work had to be
stopped, because the flames would break
out Unexpectedly at the very place where
the rescue work was going on.
The greatest horror came when three
hremen, Niau, Charette and Burwell, were
caught on the roof as the flames burned
through. Niau and Charette managed to
escape by means of a rope and ladder but
Burwell found every avenue cut off, with
the flames continually closing around
