FATAL FAMILY FEUD.

Dozen Dangerously wounded.
Jack-on. Miss, July i6-A terrible trag-
edy is reported from Learned, station
30 miles southwest Of here. this evening,
In which two men were shot to death and
a half dozen were more or less danger
ously wounded. Particulars are hard to
obtain, but from what could be learned
of passengers on the train that passed
the place just after the shooting, II ap-
peared that an old family feud existed
between the McRees and Terrels. At
church last Sunday one Of the Terrels
was severely beaten by three McRees.
They were arrested and a trial held in
the magistrates court at Learned to-day.
The belligerents were not satisfied, and
adjourned to an open field to fight 1t
out with their fists, but instead pistols
were used. Forty or fifty shots were fired.
Two men, Forest and LeaVel McRee,
were killed instantly, while three others,
two of the brothers McRee. were seri-
ously wounded, and 1t is thought one of
them will die by morning. The sheriff
was telgreaphed to come at once, pre-
pared TO enforce the peace, as further
trouble was expected.
Learned IS a village of 200 inhabitants
and the excitement Is so intense that the
telegraph operator cannot be prevailed
upon to stay in his office long enough
TO give full particulars. The country round
about is thckly settled with old families
Of prosperous farmers, most of whom are
related by blood or marriage and II Is
feared that gore will flow before the row

gain seats at White Haven and Stoke upon
the Trent The unionist and conserva-
tive gains in votes were heavy and the
liberal gains light.
The steady increase In the uniouists

ties follow the lead Of the boroughs. re-
Verting TO unionism in the same proper
tion, the party wire pullers estimate that
Lord Salisbury viii have "a majority In
the commons of 90 over the combined llb-
eral and Irish members. Such a sanquine
view, however. is In no wise assured OF
being realized. The liberals build their
hopes upon the results In the counties to
neutralize the early successes Of that

Sir William Harcourts temperance in
the arena and his acceptance OF the nomi-
nation for the west division OF Monmouth

ruler, who represented the division in the

The reading of the message was greeted
with round after rounds of applause. Mr.
Warrington, who is a well known Q. c..
in 1892 defeated his conservative opponent
w. II. Meredith, by such an overwhelm-
ing majority that the unionists had re-
solved not to contest the seat. Now, how

ROBBED BY FALSE WEIGHTS.
A Coal Mine Operator Accused of u
Contemplate Trick.


Pittsburg, Pa, July 16.-To-day Secre-
tary Warner of the miners organization
appeared at the Office of Alderman Mad
den and made an information charging
Coal Operator T. d. Stein of the Phoc-
nix mines at lakewood with stealing coal
from his employees. The weight master
T. r. Marshall employed by Stein, was
also made a party to the suit and war
rants were issued. For some time the
miners have suspected that they were the
victims of false weights and a strict
watch was set on STEMS scales. Last
week the weights used at the mines
were confscated and officially tested by
the Fairbanks Scale Company. The scale
manufacturers pronounced the weights
fraudulent and estimated the weight bal
anced the arm about 800 pounds on the long
side This falsty required the miner 20
dig from 1900 and 1900 weight for every
ton There are 125 men employed in
STEMS mine, and the fraud was carried
on under a 60 cents per ton basis.
The information is made under the
check weight man law and is the first of
it's kind. In every conviction on the above
suit the miners will enter civil suits to
recover what they have lost through
fraudulent weights, which in the aggre-
Gate amounts to hundreds of tons of coal.
