SHOOTING AT AUGUSTA.
An Escaped Negro Convict Killed by
Policeman.

An Escaped Negro Convict Killed by
Policeman.
Augusta Ga, Aug "a fatal shoot
ing affair occurred this morning about
daylight during the attempt of two po-
licemen to arrest an escaping convict.
Policemen Dave Murphy and John Rey-
nolds were on duty on a cark side street
and saw a man ahead of them hurrying
along with a bundle on his shoulders. In
all such cases their oaoers are to stop
the parties, and unless they give a good
account Of themselves to send them into
headquarters.
This man, when told to halt broke into
a run. The policemen gave chase. Murphy
played out but Reynolds finally caught
the fellow. The negro, for such he proved
to be, fought him like a tiger. They fell
to the ground and the policeman felt
himself being overpowered He drew his
pistol and fired. The negro them jumped
up and ran. About this time Murphy
came up again and renewed the chase.
The darkey lodged into yard and ran
under a house. They dislodged him and
he broke off down the street again. As
Murphy was still within ten or twelve
feet of him the negro yelled, If you
come to me I'll kill you"
Saying this he stopped, and the police
man also stopped Then the negro start
ed toward the policeman, and Murphy
said: Halt, if you don't, I'll shoot you,'
but the negro didn't halt, and the police
man fired.
The man fell to the ground and in a
few minutes died. When they examined
him he was found to be a convict named
Frank Maxwell who had escaped from
the county gang at the junction of Twiggs
and Campbell streets. He had on the
county stripes.
Maxwell was a notorious chicken thief
and has been on the gang more or less
for ten or fifteen years. The coroner S
jury returned verdict Of 'justihable hon.
icide.
Tonight a negro carpenter, Gibbes
Hayward, went to take dose of quinine,
and took strychnine instead. He is now
at the negro hospital in a precarious con-
dition.
The Charleston Young Mems Christian
Association base ball club came to Au-
gusta to-day for the game that was pre-
vented by rain ten days ago. They
brought an excursion of Charlestonians
with them, and Augusta turned out en-
Enthusiastically for the game. There were
fully three thousand people at the game,
which resulted in a victory for Augusta
by score of to 2. The Augusta rooters
are making merry tonight, parading the
asphalt with a bass drum, flying colors and
victorious college yells.

COL. ROMERO CONVICTED.
Sentenced to Years ana 4 Months
for Killing Verastegui in IA Duel.

Sentenced to 3 Years ana Months
for Killing Verastegui in "A Duel.
From the New York Herald.
City Of Mexico, Aug. 25, ls95-Aithough
the Mexican laws forbid duelling for the
first time in the history of the country
q conviction has been secured.
The sensational trial Of Col Francisco
Romero, who killed Col. verastegui in a
dual on Aug. of last year, was concluded
this morning, after an all night session
The trial lasted six days, and stirred So
ciety owing to the high standing of the
principals and seconds,
Mexican juries consist OF nine members.
and majority vote rules Romero was
convicted on every count on vote rang
ing from five to nine. The seconds were
acquitted. The judge sentenced Romero
to three years and four months impris-
onment, with a fine of $1,000, or 100 days
additional Imprisonment If preferred
Romero must also pay $4,000 annually
to the widow of Verastegui, in monthly
installments, for eighteen years, and the
costs of the funeral of Verastegui,
amounting to s46O. The costs Of the trial
he is also liable for.
Romero was remanded to the military
commandant, since he is an army officer,
to be confined in the military prison in
this city.
The result of the trial was entirely I'M
expected, and is the only topic of con-
versation in the city to-day. 1t is believed
that Gen. Diaz will eventually relieve
Romero from Imprisonment, but not from
the pecuniary penalty.
Verastegui was the head of the stamp
department. Romero is famous as a duel
list, but his conduct since the duel has
cost him many friends,
