of the stalwart silver men here yestet-

claimed: "Dugg, that's my only load !;
you can kill me now," and fell to the

witnessed by a dozen friends of the

and children screaming as they ran to
their vehicles and disappeared while

Jacksonville, Fla, July 19.-In a
moment of passion caused by dis
pute over a game of cards, W. w !.
HARRISON, Auditor of the Jacksonville,
Tampa and Key West railroad, dealt
a death-blow to Francis M. Ector, AS
sistant Auditor of the same road.
The tragedy occurred last night in
the reading-room of the Arlington
Hotel, where the two men boarded.
Ector and HARRISON were warm
friends, and nearly every evening
played cards in the reading-room of
their hotel. Last night they were
playing cribbage, when a difference

ests placed in his keeping.
We are informed that the Gas and
Electric Light Company is paying
quite well. The private consumers
more than paid the running expenses
of the plant, and the money pad by
the city for street lighting has paid the
interest and made slight reduction
on the debt.
Under Mr.. Baird's management the
property will not do worse than it has
done heretofore in the way of making
money. Mr.. Martin has done all he
could to get the water works under
way, but the unsettled state of tinan-
cial matters has conspired to defeat all
his efforts in this line.

Prof. G. ii. DIETRICH, representing
the American Book Company, was ia
our city this week. The books from
this company are to use in oil the
schools of this county, and in fact all
of the counties of the State, and 1t
does seem right and proper, and we
have no doubt but that the Board
will readopt the same series of books
that are now in use-children and
nearly always poor children, remov-
ing from one county to another find
the same series of books being used
in the school, and that awful and un-
necessary expense is thus avoided,
aud this is great saving to the
poorer classes.

 Roanoke, Dec 11.--(Special Correspon- dence. )-The suppositlon that the probate judges safe was robbed of the county's funds before the burning of the court house last week was luckily not true. The safe was opened in good condition, and the treasurer has placed his funds in the Bank of Roanoke. It Is also thought the building itself will not be a total loss, but that many of the brick can be used in rebuilding.
 About dark Thursday night another shooting scrape occurred. The scene was on Rock Mills street, near the residence of J. M Pittman. The participants were Bill Jim and Alex Denney, all colored and related. They were quarreling about the possession of pistol, when all three began firing and running. Bill was shot through the leg and the others escaped. A white man passing near by fiattened himself out on the ground, while the bull lets sang Home, Sweet Home in his ears.
 The annals of Randolph's history have been again stained with blood. And this. too, on the Sabbath day. The tragedy occurred in the public road near Omaha, about twelve miles north of town. The following facts were furnished us by citizen Of that community: There mas been some trouble brewing in which Jas. J. Rodgers, Isaac Daniel and man named Fincher were prominently con- cerned During all of last Sunday these parties were hunting for each other and making threats. That night they met and a general fusilade began. Rodgers was shot through the head and died in stantly. Daniel was shot twice, and is dangerously wounded. Fincher was placed under arrest and yesterday was appointed for preliminary trial, the re- suit of which we have not learned Sev eral others were present whose names we could not learn. The real cause of the trouble is left for you to surmise, as we have been unable to ascertain it.

 The first business transacted at this meeting was the election of officers, which resulted as follows Miss Laura Prout, president Miss Ira Welch, vice. president, and Miss Jennie Morris, sec officers all responded to calls for speeches by some eloquent addresses bearing on the welfare and purpose of the club.
 After these speeches everybody was "dry' from the effect of hearty ap- plause, be it known, and not from the ef- feet of the speeches), and Mrs. Baker. like all truly charming hostesses, antici- pating this, made a few delft passes and in an instant a most charming tea pot was simmering before the eyes of her guests from which was served the most delectable tea, (not the celebrated hop tea, however,; dainty sandwiches ac- companied the delicious beverage, all of which was spiced by the sparkling pleas- antness of conversation. and time fitted past so swiftly that the hour for adjourn ment came with surprise to all.
 Before adjourning Mrs. Baker told the members that she had a little memento of the evening which she would present to the one drawing the shortest straw, and exhibited to them the dearest little tea pot imaginable Mrs. J.
