A SERIOUS SHOOTING ATERAY.--

Charleston by j. A. Moore. Both OF
the parties are yOnng white mon and
have families dependent upon them.
The shooting occurred in Line street,
almost In front OF the South Carolina
and Georgia railroad depot. Moore
fired twice. The first ball miescd It's
mark, but the second struck ItOOney
under tho right shoulder blade in the
back. Nothing very definite could be
learned concerning tho trouble that
existed between tho two men. Moore
was secn at tho Station by q reporter
last night, but refused to 20 into the
"details OF the quarrel, II there worc
any. Ho said, however, that he shot
Rooney in sclf-dofcncc and that Rooney
struck him twice before he fired. He
stated that Rooney called to him from
across the street and then cursed him
and attacked him. Moore also claims
that on the day before Rooney stopped
him In tho street and cursed him. He,
however, refused to state tho cause OF
tho bad feeling on the part OF Rooney.
Rooney appears to be seriously in

a PRINCE DEAD.-Prince Henry, Of
Battenberg, husband OF Princess Be-
atrice Of England who went to Ashan-
teo in a special capacity and who con-
tracted fever there, is dead
Prince Henry was the third son Of
Prince Alexander OF Battenberg, uncle
Of Ludwig ", Grand Duke Of Hesse.
He married Princess Beatrice in 1885.
They have four children. He was
born October 5, 1858, and was Cover
nor Of tho Isle OF Wight and of CARTS
brook Castle.
From the few details received, it
appears that the Prince had relapse
while on board the British cruiser
Blonde, on her way to Madeira with
the sick 'uan. In spite OF the efforts
OF the special surgeon in attendance
and Of the ships surgeon, the Prince
died at 8 o'clock Tuesday evening.
The Blonde then returned to Sierra
Leon, West coast OF Africa, from
which place tho news was cabled to
the Admiralty.
The First Lord of tho Admiralty,
Hon. Geo. j. Gocschen, after consult,
ing with the Queen, has givon instruc-
tions that the Blonde be ordered to
bring the romans OF tho Prince to
England.
Tho death of Prince Horny will
make decided difference in the court
plans. The period Of mourning for
the late Prince will eXtond over the
coming season and all tho drawing
rooms have been abandoned.
While Prince Henry Of Battcnborg
was unpopular on the whole with tho
people, principally because he was Il
poor German Prince, and therefore
considered unworthy Of the hand Of q
Princess Of the royal house OF Eng land,
no was woll liked by all those who
had tho pleasure OF knowing him per-
sonally. Ho was a spledid. athletic
looking man, good sportsman, and
he sailed his own yatch skilfully. 10
those around him he was nnprctcnd-
ing and considorate and was a great
fayOrite With tho Queen.

Associate Justice Stephen j. Field,
of the United States Supreme Court,
in regard to whose retirement pcrcn-
nial rumOrs have been published for
many years, authorizes denial OF the
latest statement to that elect. The
venerable jurist says:
"Of course man at my time OF life
might retire from the bench at any
time. | my health should not permit
mo to attend to my duties easily, |
should not hesitate to leave the bench,
but so long as can attend to these
duties with ease, | have no intention
OF retiring.'
Born in 1916, and appointed to the
Supreme Court by Abraham Lincoln
in 1863, Justice Field has long since
passed the limit emitting him TO re-
tiro, on full pay whenever nc SO desires:
Only Chiot Justice Ma, sI"i' and
Justice Storey have cXGc""' n1m IN
longth Of service, and they on!y By a
few months.

CHARGES have been preferred
against Sheriff w. p. Cunningham,
OF Santa Fe county, by Hon. Charles
w. Dudrow, chairman of the board of
county commissioners, of that county,
and it is understood that the governor
has ordered a hearing thereon, on
Monday. The sheriff is charged with
having Territorial and county funds in
his possession, unlawfully and contrary
to the requirements Of the statute in
such case made and provided, and with
several acts Of misfeasance and op-
preston in Office. Now, let the gov

THE LUIS HERRERA CASE.
A Misleading Report Connecting the
Man With the Murder of Col.
Fountain and Little Son.
From the Las Cruces Republican.

" " y n u
The facts are as follows: Some
time ago Luis Herrera was arrested
and placed under bond for carrying
concealed weapons. Herrera was in
the employ of the parties who were
searching for the murderers of Col.
Fountain and his little son, and was on
the point of starting for Chamberino
for a man, who claimed he knew where
Col. Fountains body "a when he was
arrested. 1t was thought then that this
Mexican at Chamberino might know
something, SO nothing was said at his
trial, why he was armed, and
bond was given for mis- appearance
before the grand jury. 1t turned out,
however, that the Chamberino man
had passed the white sands, and saw a
bush, which looked suspicious to him,
and when he arrived at Chamberino
told that he saw the legs of Col. Foun-
tain stretching out of the sand.
Later, it was discovered that Herrera
LETT Las Cruces on the 31st Of January
and on the End of February, early in
the morning, his cousin at Tularosa
found him asleep in his corral, and
Herrera explained that his horse had
given out about five miles from Tular-
osa and he had walked in with his sad
die and left his horse at a ranch. He
then borrowed a horse from his cousin
and asked him to get bis (Herrera's)
horse and keep it until he returned his
own, the borrowed one. On the 7th,
he appeared at Prude's store, and then
borrowed a pistol, saying that be had
just heard of the murder of Col. Foun-
tain and little son, and wanted to 90
out and look for the bodies. He then
went to Ed. Terrell's place and there
borrowed another horse, leaving the
horse he had borrowed in Tularosa
with Terrell. A few days later, he
was on the plains and Joined Level
lyn's party, and helped to search for
the lost bodies.
Herrera's cousin at Tularosa told
Mr.. Banner when he was in Tularosa
that Luis Herrera had left Las
Cruces on the 3lst and arrived
there on the second of February.
If this is true, Herrera must have been
very near when the murder was CON-
mitted, and when asked where he was
on the LIST of February, he said he was
al Prude's store, and had not been in
Las Cruces, nor had he been In Tula-
since last August.

His contradictory statement caused
a suspicion against him and the sheriff
went to his b%ondsmen, explaining these
circumstances and bad them withdraw
his bond, and he lis now in Jail.

into his case and find out
whether or not he is connected with

NO TIME FOR COMPROMISE.

An eastern gold-bug paper, the Buff
falo Commercial, has the following,
which will be appreciated by the
friends Of real honest money, because
it puts the issue squarely between BIZ
metallism on the old basis and a single
gold standard. The Commercial is en-
titled to credit for its frank avowal of
the real issue, and we therefore give 1t
space, as follows:
The great majority Of American people.
including pretty nearly the entire bust
ness community, are thoroughly welded
to the honest money, the best money, and
wholly opposed to the dishonest schemes
of the silverites. and it is this fact that
makes it SO exasperating to see republican
and democratic politicians lying low, avoid
ing plain, unequivocal language on the
subject, and seeking compromise for the
sake of "harmony." One never hears of
any mealy mouths among the free silver
ties, whether Of democratic or republican
utilization. IL is silver or moth
ing with them. 1t ought 10
be gold or nothing with the
honest money men, republicans or demo-
