AND DIDN'T GET THE MONEY Though They Crushed the Skull of their Victim. A MURDER NEAR TOADVINE Farmer Falls Goes Into Camp, Returning Home
 With Proceeds of Cotton-SIain
 in the Small Hours.
A MURDER NEAR TOADVINE

Randolph Falls was murdered yester- day morning between the hours of 1 and at the twenty-five mile post near Toad vine.
 MT. Falls was in the city Tuesday with a load of cotton, which he sold. He left here early Wednesday morning, and was accompanied on his OK wagon by two ne- groes.
 Arriving al the place above designated near nightfall, the three stopped and there camped for the night. The oxen were wa- tered and fed and after supper the three men arranged for a good nights rest. It proved the last sleep for MT Falls, as ere the morning came he was at deaths door, where he fingered but short time before entering in.
 MT Robert Vines, who lives near where the camp was struck, passed it about o'clock in the morning and saw the fire burning brightly and the men lying on pallets asleep.
 Returning just before light, he found the form of MT. Falls lying on his pallet and seeing that something was wrong went up to him and found blood ooZing from his head which had been crushed in with some heavy instrument.
 He gave an alarm, and some of his rela- tiveS at once came, while others went for physician. The physician, on arriving, made an examination and found the man in a dying condition, and despite all ef- forts on his part Mr. Falls died without regaining consciousness to tell who were his murderers. The negroes were nowhere to be seen.
 The mans pockets were searched and concealed where 1t was difficult to find 1t they found $66 and an empty pistol scab- bard. About 50 feet away they found an ax with blood on it, which clearly showed that it was the instrument used in kill ing the man.
 Sheriff O'Brien was notified, and as soon as possible sent deputies with the county dogs to the scene with hopes Of catching the murderers.

Cotton Letter.

New York, Oct. S.-(Special )-Cotton held it's own fairly we'll in the forenoon. January opened at 792 advanced to 7.95 and ductua- ted between those prices until after noon. The announcement of heavy receipts at New Orleans tomorrow caused liquidation among the room traders, which sent Jan uary down to 7S5. At that price prominent Wall street operator began to unload. His holdings were heavy and were not lquida- ted until January had sold at 775. Then a somewhat moro cheerful feeling followed and a reaction of few points took place. January closed at 7sGa7.S1, with the tone steady. Everybody is eagerly watching the receipts Until they slaclen we hardly ex- pect the confident buying that Is necessary to lift the market.

A New Parrot Story.

"a friend OF mine, fine old fel-
low, but rather hasty tempered, hav-
ing a niece, who had coaxed him to
buy her parrot, succeeded in getting
bird that was warranted good
talker. He brought it home, and
after putting it in cage, stood be-
fore it and said, "Say Uncle Polly"
The bird did not respond, and after
repeating the sentence dozen times
or more with no better success the
uncle put his hand into the cage,
and grabbing the bird by the neck
shook him until his head wobbled
round, all the time yelling to him,
Say "Uncle," Coll darn you--say
"Unclew' The bird looked limp and
lifeless, and disgusted with his pur-
chase, the old fellow took the par
rot out into the yard, where he had
a coop of thirty chickens. Thrust
ing the half-dead bird in with the
chickens, he exclaimed, There, by
gosh you'll say "Uncle" before you
get outP Next morning the uncle
went out to see how the parrot was
getting along. Looking into the
coop he counted 20 dead chickens,
and in the centre of tho coop stood
the parrot on one foot, holding the
thirtieth chicken by the neck, and
shaking it till its heal wobbled, and
screaming, Say "Uncle," Coll darn
you, say "Unclew'

U. s Minister Willis and Mrs. Willis
Thrown Out of Their Carriage
To-day.
With deep regret we have to an
nouuce sad accident which marred
the success of the Stanley wedding
this afternoon.
As the large concourse OF promin-
ent guests were leaving the Cathe-
dral grounds, after the conclusion Of
the happy ceremony, a scream was
heard at the Beretania Street gate,
and it was seen that Minister Willis
had been thrown out OF his carriage,
the horse having bolted
The carriage struck against the
gate post, aud Mrs. Willis was
also thrown out, but Immediately
jumping to her feet she ran to her
husband, aud to the offers Of assist
ance replied ''leave me, and look
after Mr.. Willis, for he is sick man"
Among the first to assist the Am
erican Minister were the British
Commissioners, the Chief Justice and
many other prominent people. All
were ready to volunteer help.
After few minutes rest Mr.. Willis
limped away with Mrs. Willis to the
residence of Or. Wood, where they
we're shortly called upon by num-
ber of enquiripg friends before re-
turning to their residence.
The carriage ran on towards the
old armory whero it became almost
a total wreck, the off fore wheel
having beeu detached at the
Cathedral gate.
We are happy to learn that no
very serious injuries were sustained
by any Of the party, although the
shock was naturally very severe
one to the Minister who was badly
bruised, a wheel OF the carriage
passing over him.

also sympathizes with Mr.. Rosa on
account of the sad bereavement sus-
tanned by the Judge through the
death OF his father, during his alb
sence from his home on his official
duties, and he acknowledges in
fattering terms the efficient work OF
Judge Rosa at his first appearance
as a Judge. Mr.. Dole's expressions
are highly satisfactory, not alone to
the recipient of the complimentary
remarks but to the many members OF
the Opposition" who claim that Mr..
Rosa did right in placing true pa
triotism and the interests OF his
country ahead of party feeling. An
editorial in the morning issue OF the
official organ is rather discordant
with Mr.. Dole's expression Of senti-
ments in the letter referred. II
reads as follows:
All things being equal it is always
policy for Government officials in
making appointments to favor theiI
friends. Throwing out sops to heal
injured feelings is simply allowing
an enemy to get his hand nearer the

neither satisfies friends or wins the
