And when our feet grow weary lei US rest.

An uncanny book is "The King in yell
low" by Robert W. Chamber& The sto-
ries hat it contains are eccentric in the
extreme. Mr.. Chambers has genius. His
situations are poe.esque and he uses
colors rather than words to describe
them. The best story in the volume,
'Ihe Repairer OF Regulations" is a tale
OF a madman aud the reader feels the very
presence Of the asylum. Some Of the
stories are rather weak but the volume as
a whole will command attention. Pub

TRAGEDY IN MISSISSIPPI.
\ ROAD MACHINE AGENT SHOT
AND KILLED.
He Had Accused His Assassin of an
Infamous Crime-rhe Killing
Strongly Condemned.

BRANDON tMiss.), Aug. AT 9 A. NJ.
to-day Babney Marshall, a prominent
lawyer and member of the State Legis-
lature from Vicksburg. and two of his
friends, shot and killed r. t. Dinkens,
agent of the Austin Road Machine Com
pany.
While standing on the platform of the
depot Dinkens was approached by Mar
shall and two companions. II. II. Cole
man and 0. 2. Fox of Nicksburg.
Marshall said: This is Mr., Dinkens,"
and placing pistol at Dinkens' stomach
discharged the weapon. Dinkens grabbed
the pistol just as it was fired. and possibly
the first shot did not take effect. AS
Dinkens backed away from Marshall
there was fusillade from MarshalFs s
companions.
1t is thought that Dinl1ens fired Mar
shali's pistol at the latter. as it was found
in his possession when he was dead.
Marshall. Coleman, Fox and Marshalrs s
law partner, Nalens, surrendered.
Two weeks ago Dlnkens and Marshall
occupied the same room but different beds
at a house in Raymond. The next morn
ing Dinkens said Marshall was guilty OF
a crime similar to the one for W hich Os-
car Wilde is now serving term in an
English prison.
Marshall was the Democratic nominee
for Senator for Warren and Kinds Coun-
ties. The killing is strongly condemned.
ANOTHER VERSION.
JACKSON Miss }, Aug. 9.-Hon. J. Dab
ney Marshall, Senator elect from Morgan
aud Kinds Counties, shot and killed X.
Z. Dinkius OF Jackson at Brander this
morning. Marshall and three friends, S.
H. Coleman, r. p. Fox and w. Z. Vol
lens, drove to Brander this morning in a
hack, and met Dlnkins at the depot. AS
he turned a corner OF the building thew
opened fire on him and shot him fifteen
times. Dinkins was unarmed, but
grabbed MarshalPs pistol from him as he
fired the first shot.
The shooting was caused by sensa-
tioual report circulated by Dinkins that
Marshall had attempted an infamous
crime while he and Marshall had roomed
together. Marshall denounced the re-
port as lie, but Dinkins stuck to it, and
every body looked for a killing sooner or
later.
Marshall is little fellow, and weighs
about seventy-five pounds. He is highly
educated, 4 lawyer and man of letters,
and his family is one OF the most promi-
nent in the State. He has served Is term
in the Legislature, and was the nominee
for tloater Senator for Warren and Kinds
Counties. Dinkins' family is equally as
good. He was brother to W. L. Dim
kins of Madison. President Cleveland's S

prominent men in the State, being a
consul to Bishop Galloway.
Marshall and his companions are un-
der arrest at Brandon.
The body of Dinkins was brought to

BRITISH SHIP HOLTHILL,

Believed to be the Vessel Sunk in COL
llsion With the Prince Oscar.
NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-It is believed
that the vessel which with the British
ship Prince Oscar was sunk in a collision
off the coast of Brazil is the British ship
Holthill.
The survivors Of the Prince Oscar, who
were taken from their boats by the
steamer Capao and landed in Philadel-
phia yesterday. were unable to furnish
the identity OF the craft with which they
coliided. as she sunk Immediately. They
said, however, that she was four-m master
with all sails set, and sailing with the
wind, which was southeast. This pretty
well precludes the idea that she was an
American vessel.
The Holthill sailed from San Francisco
for Queenstown April 23d, probably car
rying only grain. On July 9th. four
days before the collision, she was spok en-
about 442 miles south of the scene of the
disaster. With a fair wind she would
have been on the 18th in about the posi-
ton indicated. The Holthill is four
masted steel ship of 2,269 tons register,
and was built in Glasgow in 1890. She is
