KILLED THREE OFFICERS,
Wanton Murder Of Policemen by Jacob
White and Son, Who Were
Resisting Arrest.

Columbus. Ga, Oct H.-About $50
this afternoon Jacob White and Henry
White, his son, shot and killed two
policemen on Third street. There was
no cause for the crime other than the
men had been summoned before the
recorder tomorrow for some trivial Of
fense Richard Adams was the officer
who summoned them to court and i'm
mediately presented them with the sub
poeneas, both armed themselves and
returned to Rumseys bar. The elder
White deliberately raised Winchester
and shot Adams just above the heart,
killing him almost instantly. officer
william Jameson. who was patrolling
the adjoining beat, heard the shot and
ran to the scene. He was met by both
the Whites and they began firing upon
him. He was shot four times, but
lived until I o'clock tonight.
After the commission of the second
murder the two men walked leisurely
l,p First avenue to their home. In an
swer to knocks upon the door Officer
Roberts received bullet from
Whites Winchester through the
stomach. He staggered to the street
mortally wounded. and at this time
though alive, no hope is entertained fol
his recovery.
By the time the third policeman had
fallen a crowd of over 800 armed mer
had reached the scene and the MUIR
derer's house was surrounded. Tom
Jackson, marshal of Girard, and ZenC
Pickett. an ex-policeman of this city
volunteered to run White out of his
house Four other brave men Offered
to follow them, and the crowd charged
on the house, firing hundreds of bull.
lets into the windows and doors.
When the fusillade ceased Jackson
and Picket forced open the door, where
upon White began firing upon them
The two men rushed in upon him, and
after shooting him a half dozen times
dragged him into the street. Immedi-
ately after delivering Whites body tC
the crowd, Pickett fell to the sidewalk
from the effects of what is believed tC
be a mortal wound. He was taken tc
a nearby house, where he is still, and
though in a critical condition, there Is
a faint hope for his recovery. The
young White escaped from the house
and crossed the river into Alabama
where he was captured tonight. He
was brought to this place and put In
Jail. 1t is believed he will be lynched
though the town is quiet at midnight.

COL. INGERS0LL,

Uppermost in the tributes the
world paid to Gladstone when the
Grand Old Man laid aside the cares
of craftsmanship, was admiration
for the strength and brilliancy OF
the powers which decades ago made
him one of the century's greatest
men. The secret of the remarka-
bic preservation has been the care
with which Gladstones life has
been marked, and it is just such
care that makes Robert G. lnger-
soil one of the best preserved of
the famous men of today.
At sixty years OF age Col lnger-
soil is still a young man. He is in
the full flush of manhood. In this
day of dyspeptic men it is refresh
ing to look upon his wholesome per-
sonality, while his mind has retain
ed all the electrical brightness and
splendid vigor which first attracted
the attention of the world and his
eloouence still has its famed silver
tone and enchanting power. Time
seems to have fully matured the
rich powers with which nature gen.
erously endowed him,
Of all the worlds noted men, Col.
Ingersoll is oneof the most modest.
To nature he gives the credit of
whatever qualities of mind and body
he possesses, and unlike many other
distinguished Americans, he has
never proclaimed himself a self
made" man. 1t is this inherent
sympaty with nature that has made
him universally popular. By even
those who have most vigorously OPP
posed the views of the great Ag-
nostic he is warmly admired as a
man. Among his army of close
friends he numbers some OF the
most eminent divines of the
country, including such men as the
Rev. DR.. Henry H. Fields, of the
famous family of that name. 1t IS
not against individuals that Col.
Ingersoll makes war. 1t is against
institutions, and his love of truth
and Justice would as readily make
him the champion of priest and
preacher as the iconoclast. Above
all things, Col, lngersoll loves liber'
ty and nothing more than intellect
ual hospitality.
Col. IngersolI will be seen in this
city at Ghio's Opera House, Tues
day, February 4th, when he will de-
liver one of his great lectures.

MORPHINE ROUTE.
Thos. DAILY, a Stranger, SnuffS out
his Life at the Brunswick.

Yesterday there arrived in this
city a stranger, who made himself
known to ]. G. Watts as being in
need of a bed.
He told Mr.. Watts he was SICK
and unable to work and all he
wanted was bed to sleep during
the night, that he had a ticket TO
Hot Springs aud would resume his
jurney today.
Mr.. Watts wrctd him an order on
the Brunswick hotel for a bed aud
he went across the street and pre-
sented it and was assigned to a
room.
This morning at 8 o'clock he was
found dead and on a chair near
his bed was an open Morphine bottle
with two-thirds of the contents
gone.
R. j. Haywood, Justice of the
Peace, held an inquest and decided
that deceased had taken an over
dose of Morphine, whether with
suicidal intent or not could not be
said, The pockets of deceased was
examined aud a small slip of paper
was found on which was written
My name is Thomas Daily, | have

WAR WAR! WAR!!!
The Senators Are Full of Fire and
Birthstone and Want to Shoot.

The Senators of these United
States are now making speeches on
the jingo order. Mr.. Turpie, of In
diana, speaking on the Armenian
resolution, said, referring to the
concurrent resolution:
ave have already sent message
but the blow should follow. The
message should be followed by
shot which should go crashing
through the grand seraglio."
The Senator urged that it would
be glorious day when the destruc-
ton of this Turkish power was
brought about, He would have the
messages and demands sent not
only to the Sultan but echoed
through the mosques and nina
rets. 1t should thunder until these
murderers learned the power aud
advance of Christianity.
Senator Thurston, Nebraska, got
the floor while the Monroe Doctrine
was being discussed, and he was in
favor of war until the last Ameri-
can expired fighting for the princi-
pies it involved.
The Senator hit some hard licks
in his speech against British ag-
gressions. He wound up his spleu-
did speech in this grand burst Of
patriotism;
"Sir, believing that the honor of
my country is involved, that the
hour calls for the highest express
sions of loyalty and patriotism,
calmly confident of the verdict of
posterity; revently calling God to
witness the sincerity of my purpose
| shall vote for the resolution re-
ported by the Committee on For
eign Affairs. | shall vote for it,
not as an affront to any other ma
tion, but to uphold the dignity of
my own. l shall vote for it in this
time of tranquility, convinced that
peace with honor can be preserved;
but, sir, | would vote for it just as
surely were we already standing in
the awful shadow of declared war.
| would vote for it were the nayies
of all Europe laundering at our
harbors. l would vote for it were
the shells of British battleships
bursting above the Nations Capt.
tol. ! would vote for it, and main
tain it at all hazards and at any
cost, with the last dollar, with the
man; yea, though it might presage
the coming of mighty conflict,
whose conclusion should leave me
without a son as the last great
contest left me without a sire. y

A contemporary hits the nail on
the head in the following; "If a

county, so that people could see
how many wealthy and able-bodied
people were receiving support at
the expense of the taxpayers, there
