FILLED MS FACE WITH SHOT.
A COIored Man Accidentally wound
ed by a Hunter.


ed by Hunter.
John Thomas, a negro, about 20 years
old, living on the Thunderboit road, near
the toll gate. was accidentally shot in
the face yesterday afternoon by Mr.. Lee
Beck, a son of Mr. j. l.. Beck of the Gecr-
gia and Alabama road.
Mr.. Beck and a friend were returning
from a hunting trip and were on the
Thunderbolt road, a short distance from
the city. The gun was carried on the
young mans shoulder, and with some
quick movement the hammer caught on
his coat and the piece went off over his
shoulder. The negro was walking about
five feet behind and received the entire
charge of No. shot in his right cheek
The young men, on seeing the result Of
the shot, did everything in their power
to assist the wounded man. They put
him in a wagon ana brought him into the
city. He was taken to DR.. j. c. Whites
office who, with the assistance of Dir.
NJ. X Corbin, dressed the wound and the
negro was carried to his home.
The doctors say the wound was a very
difficult one to dress, and will be trouble
some in healing. The shot, at that short
distance had no chance to scatter and
the penetrative power punched was very
great. A hole was torn in the cheek and
the bone was shattered. Portions of ii
were taken out. Some of the shot pene-
trated the nose and mouth cavities
The shooting was purely accidental, and
the young men were not in the least 20
blame. Mr., Beck regretted the accident
deeply and did all in his power to make
the wounded man comfortable.

PEORIA, ILL.,, June 23-John P. Altgeld
is the nominee of the democratic party

imously placed at the head of the ticket
this afternoon. He had no opponent
and few moments before the honor
was thrust upon him declared he did

sion of one of the most impressive
speeches ever made before a democratic
convention he said he was physically
unable to lead the fight, and his fnan.

he mentioned his desire to retire from
public life Than there came an impas-

from the delegates, but from the thous-

the hall.
1t was a strange convention and viii

Spanish butchers "Beeause They

New YORK, June 24.-News Of fresh
atrocities was brought by the American
schooner, Mabel Hooper of Rockland,
Me-, which had just arrived in this
harbor.
The Hooper sailed ten days ago from
Sagua, on the north coast Of Cuba, and
in Santa Clara province. While at that
port the American consul told the cap
tain in substance this story:
"The Spanish commander of the post
there had orders from Havana to see
to it that all tobacco planted near
Sagua should be taken to that city. A
large tobacco plantation about three
miles south of Sagua is owned by Mr..
Gonzales, said to be an American citi-
zen. The Spanish commander sum-
mOned Mr.. Gonzales to his headquart-
ers and asked why he had failed to
comply with the captain generals proc
lamation. Mr.. Gonzales explained that
the Spanish troops had taken all his
horses and cattle, and he could not
cart his tobacco. I am satisfied with
your explanation, said the commander.
you may return TO your plantation
"The Spaniard then sent for young
lieutenant and instructed him to take
a guard and escort Mr.. Gonzales to his
plantation. Upon arriving at the plan
tation Mr.. Gonzales was met by his
wife and their five small children. You
may enter your house, said the lieut.

Statement

What Re Has TO say OF the Whitney Panic
Statement
CHICAGO. June 23.-BeIng asked to
answer Mr.. Whitney's statement that
the election of a free coinage president
and congress would plunge the country
into a panic, W. H. Harvey, author
of "COin's Financial School, said:
son the election Of a president and
congress in November committed to
free coinage, the danger of a panic will
pass in a day. We will cross the dan
ger line the moment that facts known.
The next day silver will begin to ad-
vance and gold to decline. Declining
gold will come out from its hiding in a
few days after the election, in hurry
to seek investments and will go active
ly into circulation. 1t will seek to in
vest itself in the things that are
rising, for it will fall in value. This is
a law memorable as any of the certain
laws of trade. The wheat in existence
is sure to fall in value whenit is known
that large new crop is coming; the ef-
feet is felt before the crop is harvested.
So it will be with gold when it is known
that a new crop is coming. Mr.. Whit
ney's statement of predicted ruin is
the threat of Wall street aud is intend
ed to brighten business men and to in
timidate the people. If it is true that
the money power can do what is threat
ened, it is sufficient reason for its over
throw, for treating it as the enemy of
the republic"

GEN. LEES LETTER.

Washington Post Says That He Gives the
spsniards a Black Eye.
WASHINGTON, June 23.-The Post TO-
day will say:
A very interesting letter was received
to-day by relative from Gen. Lee. 1t
was written on the 18th and deals pref
ty fully with Cuban affairs. The Span
ish authorities, the general says, have
treated him with great courtesy and
Capt. Gen. Weyler has granted every
request thus far preferred, even allow
ing him to visit the prison where the
captured Americans are confined. The
Spanish troops, he says, are fairly well
drilled, but under a system of tactics
and manual totally different from any
thing the general had ever seen. AS
to the insurgents, they practically had
control of the island. Their emissaries
come in and go out of the towns and
cities as they will, and he believes the
native population is in sympathy with
them. AS to the inhumanity of the
Spanish commander, Gen. Lee express
ses himself in the plainest terms.
"They do not regard the laws of mod
ern war nor the usages customary
among civilized nations at all.
"FTom either quarter there is the
same testimony concerning the bar
barities of the Spanish soldiers. Some
Of the evidence I have heard would be
beyond belief did I not know it to be
most reliable. Violations of woman,
the plundering of inoffensiye citizens,
murder, every form of rapine. have
been inflicted on natives of the island.
and it takes very little indeed to place
you under suspicion"
Gen. Lee doubts if peace could be
made now short of basis Of absolute
independence and freedom from
Spanish control.
