A Goora,a Sheriff Killed.

Sylvania, Ga., Oct 15.-Sheriff l.. B. Brooker was shot and killed last after noon at Goloid, five miles from Sylvania. by Sol and Callie Zeigler The Baptist Middle association was in session at Go Ibid. and Brooker and the Zeiglers were in attendance.
 The meeting had about broken up and Brooker was walking off to his buggy when the two Zeiglers ran up behind him with rifles and shot him. He fell on his face and they ran up closer and shot him twice in the head. Brooker died in few, minutes. The Zeiglers walked to their buggy and rode off towards home
 The killing is the result of a quarrel which began year ago, when Brooker and George Zeigler father of the two boys who did the shooting yesterday, got into difficulty on the Sylvania train in which Zeigler was killed and Brooker badly wounded. Since that time the two Zeigler boys have been layA ing for Brooker. having sworn to kill him on sight. Today was the first time they had seen him. and they put their threat into bloody execution.

 The prisoner, Napole, still holds that he did the killing, but that it was through mistake.
 Frank Canepa, in whose employ She rota was when killed, is also in jail, but protests his innocence.
 not stone unturned that will throw tha slightest light on the case
 Nothing new has developed thus far. However, it is rumored that a disclosure not yet made public may possibly occur at the inquest
 The wife of Canepa says that Sherota had been treated badly all during Sun day, and that Canepa had slapped his jaws and said. that he would kill him.
 The prisoner adheres to the advice of his lawyers and has but little to say. However, he sticks to his confession that he did the killing alone. zs- The body of Sherota was buried yester- day afternoon at o'clock by the Italian society.
 Mrs. Canepa was released from cus- tody late Monday night and allowed to go to her home.
 The countrymen of. sunny Italy are considerably interested in the case, not withstanding Sherota was not very pop ular as he was addicted to hard drinking and very troublesome when in an intoxi- cated condition.

REPORTED INCORRECTLY.
The Farmers Congress Declared for the Free and Unlimited Coinage of Both
 Gold and Silver.

Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 15.-Mr. w. G. Whid- by, one of the assistant secretaries of the farmers agricultural congress, says that the resolutions on his desk yesterday were improperly indexed and the report of yesterdays action was slightly er- roneous, though the convention declared heartily and by an overwhelming ma jor1ty in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of both silver and gold.
 The members today were very much vexed by the report which had been pub lished that they had taken adverse action in regard to silver, and state that their action has been grossly misrepresented, the resolution adopted not having been published. Major Whidby asks that the correction be made, and says that in justice to the congress it should be under stood that their declaration was clearly and unequivocally in favor of free and unlimited coinage.
 The following is the resolution as adopted in full and by an overwhelming majority:
 Resolved, That we favor the free and unlimited coinage of both silver and gold at an agreed ratio guaranteed by an inn port duty upon foreign bullion and for eign coin equal to the difference between the bullion value and the coinage value of the metal at the date of importation, whenever the bullion value of the metal is less than it's coin value.

SOUTHERN STEAM LAUNDRY Burned to the Ground Last I've

LUCKILY NO FATALITIES WILL RESULT

The Southern Steam Laundry. located on Twenty-eighth street. between Sixth and Seventh avenues, North, was de- stroyed by fire yesterday afternoon and several of the employees, in jumping from the second story window, sustained pain full injuries.
 The fire started about 5 o'clock, and was caused by the explosion of a gasoline generator, which was on the first floor Of the building. The generator al the time of the explosion had about three gallons of gasoline, the customary amount, and this was scattered over the floor, walls and ceiling of the lower story. The gasoline iguited and rapidly the flames spread throughout the building.
 It was frame building and the mate rial in it very combustible. The entire building was soon enveloped with flames and escape from the second story by the usual way rendered impossible.
 The employees who were a | work on the second floor finding it impossible to es- cape otherwise than through the win dows, began jumping to the ground, distance of 15 or 20 feet. In doing so they were all more or less injured. The injured are as follows.
 Mrs. Lou Miller, both feet broken and hip hurt.
 MISS FrOnle MlIIer, age Ll uduSntef of Mrs. Lou Miller, right arm broken and hip hurt.
 Miss Claudio Clark, age IS, of Third avenue and Eighteenth street, right foot broken.
 Girl whose name could not be learned, of Eighth avenue and Eighteenth street, hands and face badly burned.
 Orange Beckley, hands and face badly burned and his left leg sprained.
 Beckley sprained his leg in jumping from the second story, but notwithstand- ing the pain he was suffering from his burns and the sprain, he gallantly aided the women, catching several of them as they jumped, and thus probably prevent ing more serious injuries.
 A negro man and negro woman were working in the lower part of the building when the explosion occurred. The wo mans clothing was almost all burned off of her, and the back of the mans head was badly burned.
 The Southern Steam laundry was owned by Smith & Myers. who had been operating it the past two or three years. They employed twelve hands, mostly women, and did a good business. The house belonged to them and was valued at $500 and the machinery cost them s1200. The total insurance carried was $500, part of which was on the building and part on the machinery
 As soon as the explosion occurred telephone alarm was sent in and tha Northside fire department turned out, making a good run to the scene of the .conflagration, but the building had been almost reduced to ashes when they got there
