SHOT ON THE HIGHWAY.
MurderOus Assault ON Peaceaoie
and IuOHensiye Citizen.

Last Friday, while Messrs. 10 Wilson and
McCaslan were retui ming home In
b ,ggy, armed men came from the SIDE OF tne
O I'd and ordered them TO hold up thelr
hands. Thinking the parties were friends al
tempting a joke Mr.. Wilson dropped the
lines and threw up his hands.
Mr. Wilson was fired upon, being hit In the
body by ball. The firing scared the mule
which ran off. The wounded man was un.
able TO go home. and stopped at Mr.. 10 Thorn
toms, where he died Tuesday morning.
No cause Ia assigned for this murderous as
sault. Mr.. Wilson aud Mr.. McCaslan had
each a shotgun in the buggy. They had been
at shooting match that day, and fearing no
evil, both their guns were unl0aded. Ine
empty guns were no protection. The running
away Of the mule with them In the buggy
possibly saved their lives.
/ This occurrence, taken into consideration
with similar outrases in this county, Is
enough 10 create In the minds OF the citizen,
feeling OF Insecurity.
The enormity OF this crime, and the Ire
ouency with which similar ontrages nave
been com mitted should be enough 10 Induce
| Governor Evans to offer liberal reward for
The discovery and con viclion OF the assassin.
| Mr. Wilson was one OF the most exemplary
young men In the coun:y-always peaceable,
quiet and lnotfensive.
Upto this time we have heard q > reason as.
| signed for this uuprOvoked murderous assault
on him. Such citizens deserve the protection
of the law, and 1t Ia to be hoped that the Gov
ernor may take proper steps TO have the nigh
waymen brought TO the Bar OF justice, where
they may answer Tor thei- unlawful and
murderous deeds.

HAVANA, March 2s.-At San Juan de las
Yeras, volunteers and regular troops have
been engaged with force of 1900 insurgents
under Zayas. The government soldiers de-
fended themselves gallantly but thirty of
them were killed. The insurgents also lost
many men in killed and wounded. An in
surgent band recently attacked a detachment
OF troops near Batabano. The Spanish gun
boat Diego Velasquez was sent to the scene
and fired thirty-fiye shells at the enemy and
compelled the insurgents to retreat.
1t is again affirmed that Maxime Gomez Is
very sick man. and it is added that he has
requested the junta to allow him to leave the
island. Maceo, however, opposed his appliea-
tfon for leave, saying that he considered that
the absence OF Gomez from Cuba at this time
would result in the failure of the revolution.

F'IREMEN MUST PAY.
Their Salaries Not Exempt From
Attachment for Debt,

Judge Smith made a decision of great i'm
portance to merchants yesterday, when he
decided the case of the Sandwich Manufac-
turing Company against John E. Kiske
against the defendant.
The matter involved the question as to
whether or not any proceedings for the COL
lection OF moneys due could be had against
fireman In the employ of the city. Defend
ant, 1t was claimed owed the plaintiff a
bill of $50, and a judgment was secured. AS
no public money can be garnished, the at
torney, Mr.. Stocker, secured papers In sup
Elemental proceedings, and disclosure was
made thereon. The defense set up that the
man was public officer, and as such his
wages could not be reached by process.
Judge Smith himself had decided a case In
which policeman was a defendant, and had
decided in favor of the policeman and the
defendant based his argument upon that de-
csion.
In the case of a policeman, however. he
mas authority TO serve papers and Ia a
sworn officer for that purpose and hence
ny +oath becomes public officer. Again the
charter makes a difference between police
men and hremen, for they are appointed in
dinerent ways, one by an elected officer and
the other by an appointed officer. In de-
nverlng his decision against the fireman
Judge Smith took occasion to state that n
would be very bad thing for public policy
II 1t were to be the law that several hun
.dred men could be protected against process
Tor collection. He intimated that il wou1d
put a premium upon dead beats.
