Town Marshal A.sas.inated.

Marshal J. P. Lamb of Palatka, Fla, left town the other day to join a party of bear hunters about 10 miles distant. The hunters returned two days later, and when asked about the marshal said they had not seen him. Search was instituted, and the body of Lamb was found about miles from town, concealed in undergrowth The head had been shot off, and the body riddled The trail over which the body was dragged to it's place of con- cealment was plainly visible. The place where the assassins waited for their victim was also found. Marshal Lamb incurred the enmity of the gamblers by the vigorous way in which he enforced the city ordinances, and it is believed they procured his assassina. tion. Feeling is very bitter.

Gray, whom everyone in Waxahachie thought to be a bachelor, died and left an es- tate valued at S25, 900.

The other day Judge Templeton received communication from Attorneys Duncan & Dew, of Perry, Ga, retaining him to look after the interest CT Miss Claudio Gray, of that place, who is said to be the 16-year-old daughter of the late P.

Judge Templeton will file suit in the district court at Waxahachie, which convenes in De- cember, for one-half interest in Mir. Gray's estate, on behalf of his alleged heir, whom none of Mir. Gray's intimate friends knew was in existence in all these years.

Over a Young Lady.

To settle quarrel about a young lady John Long and George Hiseler, young farmers, fought duel near Suwanee shoal, west of Lake City, Fla. The young men attended a party, and while there quarreled over a young lady to whom each was devoted In order to avoid a scene in the presence of the ladies, they agreed to let the quarrel drop until after the party. About 12 o'clock Long and Hiseler bade the young lady goodnight and took their departure. They proceeded about mile from the house, drew their knives and began to carve one another. Hiseler was the more powerful, and his work was more deadly. In few minutes he had cut Long so that the latter was helpless. Other young men, who had suspected the purpose of Long and Hiseler and followed them, appeared at this junc- tnre and stopped the duel. Hiseler had received several slashes, but was not seriously wounded, while Long was in dying condition Hiseler fled with his friends

NEW SHIP FOR THE NAVY.
Amphitrito Completed After Twenty
One Years. Work.

AmphItrlte Completed After Twenty
One Years. Work.
Another vessel was added to the
United States navy recently by the
completion at the Norfolk navy yard
Of the armored coast defense monitor
Amphitrite, which has been under
construction for the remarkable period
of twenty-one years. A telegram
reached the navy department from
Norfolk announcing the final compile
tion of this job, which promised to go
on forever, like Tennyson's brook.
So great was the rejoicing at this news
that, while the spell was still on, the
secretary gave orders to have officers
and crew ready to put the Amphirite
in commission at once. The Amphi-
trite has literally been built on the in
stallment plan. In 1874 her keel was
laid and work progressed for time
until the partial appropriation then
available was exhausted. Other things
then occupied the attention Of the de-
pa bAnChIJ anu q CcA VI LWO poo0Ou
fore more money was set aside to carry
on the work. When this was done,
work was resumed and continued in
earnest until this second appropriation
was exhausted. Then there was delay
again until more money was in sight,
and so it has continued spasmodically
ever since. In the whole history Of the
American navy there is no other in
stance where the construction Of
vessel was carried on for such re-
markable period. There has never been
pressing need for the completion Of the
vessel, and it is probably a wise thing
after all that her construction went on
by such remarkably easy stages. From
year to year changes have been made in
the plan of the vessel to keep abreast
Of the remarkable improvements in
naval architecture, and today the Am
phltrite is a modern ship Of war in
all respects, just as if she had been
originally designed year ago.
