THUS THE SHOOTING IN THE CHINESE RESTAURANT OLUMINATES IN
 MURDER.
A Special Grand Jury Summoned To Indict Wiley GOOde,
 the Murderer.
Poor Frank Howe is dead.

Poor Frank Howe is dead.
 He died at the Tnfirmary at 6 o'clock and minutes this morning.
 Thus, Fridays shooting in the Chinese restaurant has eliminated in murder.
 An innocent man, in the prime of his young manhood, while eating quiet meal in a public restaurant, has been robbed of his life by a ruthless rufflan.
 Wiley Goode, a notrious character who has engaged in many shooting afirays in this community, is the author of the murder, and he now languishes in jail. Today Judge Elliott ordered a special grand jury to investigate the case, and Sheriff Triplett has been out this morning summonsing grand iurymen to assemble at , o'clock Tuesday morning for that purpose. The Sheriff has summoned only good citizens to serve on this grand jury, and before tomorrow night Wiley Goode will stand in- dicted for murder in the first degree.
 On the streets today there has been some talk of lynch law, but that is the sheerest folly .Ourjailis strong and invulnerable, and Sheriff Triplett a brave and fearless officer, and what is the use Of talking about mob to lynch this worthless wretch, Goode, when it is likely to cost the lives of a number of good citizens? We have law in this land and public officers who will do their duty and enforce the law, and Wiley doode will be speedily prosecuted and brought to justice. His escape from his iron cage is impossible, and a jury of citizens of Jefferson County will try the case and mete out instice. We can rely upon our officers and iuries composed oi our fellow citizens to enforce the law; therefore away with this irrational,

AN ELOPEMENT.
A West Virginia Girl Runs Away From Home to Marry an
 Arkansan.

Sunday at 12:30 o'clock, after the conclusion of the regular service at the Catholic Church, Father Calla- han, pastor In charge during the absence of Rev J. NJ. Lucey, united in marriage Miss Mary Gertrude Dulin, of Parkersburg, ". Va. and Mir. Arlow Farmon, of Little Rock.
 The bride arrived in the city yes- terday from her home at Parkers- burg, W. Va, and 1t was not until her marriage was telegraphed homo yesterday afternoon that her parents had any knowledge of her where abouts.
 Her parents strongly objected to her marriage. She is fine musician, and especially as a viollnist, and her parents wanted to send her to Europe to finish her education, but she preferred taking an Arkansan for husband to going abroad. Her parents were not aware that
 
 she was conducting correspondence with MT. Farmon, and they thought the match between these sweethearts of long standing had been broken up. But not so. A few days ago the young lady became of age, and she immediately planned to steal away from home and join her sweet heart, with the above result.
 The bridegroom lives in Little Rock, but conducts a general mer- chandise business at Sleeth, Ark. He is a brother-in-law to Conductor Baldwin, on the Valley Road, and is n very worthy and estlmable young gentleman. Immediately after their marriage the newly welded couple repaired to the home of Mir. and Mrs. Toney Neideweiser, whose guests they will remain until this afternoon, when they will leave for Little Rock. The GRAPHIC extends it's congratu- lations to the newly welded couple and wishes them a long life of un- ailOyed happiness.

sweeter music ever heard in this ctiy than that listened to by the conrre- gation at the synagogue on this oc- casion. The solos by Mrs. Mehlin ger and Miss Blanche Altheimer were sweet and touching, and the duet bv Misses Lash and McGrary highly delighted the audience. Miss Lash also sang Il farewell solo which was appreciated. Messrs. Torbett and Leyerenz each sang 6 solo also which was highly appreciated by the entire audience.
 The address by Dr. Bekcer was eloquent and his remarks were very appropriate to the occasion, and were received with the closest in- terest and attention.
 The confirmation class was com posed of Misses Bessie Bluthenthal and Bettie Thalhelmer and Master Ryman Becker. The efforts of the young students eliclted admiration. The prayers of the class were de. liVered in a very deyout and im- pressiye manner, and their examiha- tion showed much study and un- derstanding, while Master Becker's admirable addres, made in free and easy manner, proved him to be a young orator of brilliant promise.

Wellington's conduct is a riddle.

for the divisions to march with a view

The birds sit on the sides Of the boat,
on sticks projecting over the water.
They perch in pairs. They are dirty
birds with ragged wings, plucked to
keep them from flying. In color they
are a metallic black, with notified or
creamy and even white bosoms. They
have long, narrow, curved bills Of the
desh-tearing character. Their perclies
are wrapped with straw, to give the
birds a good foothold. When fishing
is done their master tightens the moo
that each wears around Its neck. and,
putting a stick before each one, lifts

caught fish enough, or more likely.
have become so soaked that they must
be taken on board to dry, he rows
among them and lifts them back on
their perches. Their skill lies in their
greed, and their greed has doomed
them to servile labor. They are caught
on the sea coast when young, and are
trained by their purchasers until they
are worth ten dollars, Mexican, apiece.
When they are in the water they not
only dive for fish, but are said to swim
swiftly under the water after their
prey. When a fish is caught, the bird
rises to the surface and gasps and
chokes to get the fish down. The other
birds rush at him to wrest his prey
from him. The fisherman hurries to
the spot, beats the other greedy birds
away. and lifting the successful cor
morant into the boat, takes his tist
from him. loosens his throttling string
and pokes some food into his ayeno
benk as a reward of merit. When the
birds are returned to their perches he
prepares for them a fairly good din

beating those that are quarrelsone.
