Chambers Killed by Daughtry,

Another deplOrable murder has
been committed in Bossier Parish.
On last Monday morning Mr.. F. A.
DaughtIy shot and killed Mr..
Charles Chambers at the foot of the
approach of Red River bridge, about
forty feet from MIR. A. L. Bares'
store, in Bossier City. The origin
of the trouble, as we learn from the
Shreveport Times, arose from the
fact that Daughtry had been plow-
ing on Chambers place in this par
ish, under q contract at so much an
acre. The land plowed had never
been measured aud the quantity
was unknown. As Chambers rode
across the bridge Daughtry ap-
preached him and asked for q SET
element. Chambers drew out q
check for $125 and rendered it on
account for blowing, and said before
paying the balance, he must ascer-
tain the amount of the land plowed,
and if he had any balance due him
he would pay it. Dsughtry demurred
and demanded all the money at once.
Daughtry who was standing ut the
neck of Chambers horse, wrote
something on card and handed it
to Chambers. Chambers told bin
in reply, if the amount of the land
was not there, aud he overpaid him,
be didn't know whether be would
pay it back. Daughtry cursed Cham.
bers and slapped him in the face,
Chambers at once slapped Daughtry
in the face. Daughtry then backed
off and drew his pistol. Chambers
threw up his hand and reigned his
horse back, and waving his hand
said: "Let's have none of that
Daughtry then shot Chambers, who
lived nearly two hours after he was
shot, expiring on stretcher before
he could be conveyed to his res.
idence in Shreveport.
/ "From all the evidence that could
hbe cleaned says the Times, "th<
attack on Mr.. Chambers was unjus
tifiable, and not warranted by thu
facts, 40 Chambers was unarmeG
and evidently not anticipating any
difficulty. The concensus of opinion
is that it was an unprovoked anG
deliberate murder, and the citizen,

IEnnl<

Amos Dcnham Was DespOndent and
Took Morphine.
Amos o. Denham died yesterday at his
room in Mrs. Harding's boarding house,
219 I'd street northwest, from the effects
Of dose of morphine taken with suicidal
intent. Deceased was only twenty-one
Belt line railroad. He came here from mis-
home near Falls Church about a year ago,
and soon after he got employment on the
road he took unto himself better half.
When about six weeks ago he lost his place
on the road he found himself unable to
support his wife, and she left him, return
ing to her trade, dressmaking. They had
lived at 221 I'd street, but being unable to
pay the rent, Denham surrendered the key
and went to live in Mrs. HardiEg's board
ing house. He became Respondent and be-
ing unable to get work he concluded that
life was not worth living. and made up his
mind to end his days on earth. There were
two others who occupied the room In which
he slept and fearing they might detect him
before death relieved him. he went Thurs
day evening and rented a room in lodg-
ing house two doors from Mrs. Hardfng's.
evidently expecting to die there, but his
sister called TO see him before he took the
fatal dose, and when he had finished talk
ing to her, he went to his own room and
swallowed the morphine, after writing sew
eral notes. Yesterday morning he was un-
conscious, and DR.. Harrington. who was
called, was unable to save his life One of
the notes was addressed to his wife, and
its contents are known only to her. In
another note he requests that when his
wife dies her body be buried beside him.
The body was taken to Lees undertaking
establishment, and may be sent to Falls
Church for interment.

IN MEMORY OF ANTON FISCHER.

Services Attended by n Large Con-
course at COncOrdia Church.
Memorial services were held last evening
at Concordia Church, corner Of Goth and
G streets northwest, as a tribute to the
late Anton Fischer, who was lost on the
Inflated Elbe. The attendance was large.
and there was a heartfelt expression of
sympathy with the grief-stricken widow
and family. who were wholly unable to
hold back their tears. The church was
decorated tastefully with palms. ferns,
roses and violets in great profuSion. Baron
A. Won Saurma-Jeltsch. the German am
bassador, was present, as were many
prominent German-American residents Of
Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York.
The Washington Lodge of Elks and the
Armenian Lodge of Masons attended the
services in body.
Rev. DR.. Cole of Epiphany Church offered
prayer and Rev. w. E. Parson delivered
the funeral address. Mr.. Parson paid a
high tribute to the personal worth and
social good nature of the deceased, con-
trasting the sad character of the present
occasion to the happy time, four years
ago, when Mr.. Parson was present at
Mr.. Fischer's wedding. DR.. Cole followed
Mr.. Parson with an earnest and thought
full address, in which he spoke of Mr..
Fischer's high character and many friends
in the community where he was SO we'll
known. Rev. Mr.. Drewitz of Concordia
Church spoke in German, briefly paying an
eloquent tribute to the deceased. The
musical program embraced selections by
Mrs. Cronau, Mrs. Naumann and MIR. Tur-
pin.

DIVIDING THE DIOCESE.
Baltimore Episcopahans Not Showing
Much Enthusiasm.


It is now. said to be a matter of some
doubt whether the preliminary conditions
for the division of the Episcopal diocese
meeting Of the Maryland convention in this
city next May. These conditions. imposed
by Bishop Paret. aret that before he will
consent to a division Of the. diocese the
Baltimore bishopric atd the proposed new
Washington diocese lsnall each raise $4,000
as an endowment fund,in order to prevent
further assessment upon the parishes.
Washington has already raised over $41,-
600. and is m a fair way to get the full
amount Baltimore, however, has hardly
gathered $4,000. it is understood, and in
terest in the undertaking is said to be upon
the wane, rather than on the increase. If
Baltimore cannot get the full amount be-
fore the meeting of the convention in May
IT Is not likely that the plan for division
OF the diocese can be carried out.
The apathy of the Baltimoreans in the
undertaking is supposed to be due to sew
eral causes. 1t Is thought Baltimore may
be rather Indifferent about the matter,
having resident bishop already. The in
sition to resolve Washington into an Epis-
copal archbishopric is also thought to
have caused the Baltimoresns to lose some
Of their enthusiasm for the division of the
oloScSc, lcetuiuS them TO delay lurtner aC-
ton in this direction while the new move
seems to be pending.
The Washington clergy are not being in
huenced by the movement in favor of the
establishment of the archbishopric, leaving
that matter to work itself out as a sepa-
rate and distinct proposition, to aban-
don the effort for the division of
the diocese. which Is. their first wish.
The question of the proposed see and crea-
ton or primus is one for the considera-
tt0n of the general convention next Ocfo-
Der, and will be settled by the voice Of all
the bishops. 1t would require two or three
years to carry 1t out, and in the meantime
the local clergy want the diocese divided.
Is learned that when bishop Paret was
IN the city a short time ago he intimated
that next year when he visits Washington
Tor the purpose of administering the rite of
combination he will not be able to visit
each parish separately. as heretofore, con-
nrming the candidates in their own church,
put II Will be necessary to collect the can
didates In central place and confirm them
all at the same time.
