DOVE season is now at its hight and
land. A few very large sized stories of
long distance shooting have already been
told, and as the season advances and the
birds become wilder the stories will
grow longer. Usually the man who sits
around the corner and tells day after
day of dropping bird at so and l00
yards over and over again couldn't take
the field and hit a straight-away bird at
10 PAGES. Those long distance shot guns
have not been made yet.

Prominent men Suspected.

Shepherd, Mich, Aug. IS Three
prominent men in this vicinity are
thought to be the murderers Of Cashier
Strubles, of the Farmers bank, bnt
officers will not divulge names, The
suspected men are being closely watch,
ed and cannot escape. Arrests are
likely to take place at any moment,
There is great excitement among peo-
pie here and at Mount Pleasant and
lynching is freely talked of. 1t is
thought officers would not dare to
make arrests at this hour, as they
could not protect the murderers. The
prosecuting attorney claims that
Cashier Strubles few moments before
his death gave the names of three men
whom he positively identified as among
his assailants. They are well-known
residents and are depositors at the
Shepherd bank. Many of the account
books of the bank are missing, which
seems to make it certain that the per-
petrators of the crime were not or
dinary burglars.

The Miners Strike.

PITTsBURG, August, 23,-Everything

but another attempt will be made to
march in the morning.
Antonio Todasta, the striking miner
who was shot yesterday at his boarding
house near Oakhill, was reported to
be slightly improved, although his
condition is still critical. The others
who were hurt in the fight were not
dangerously injured and will recover.
The Belatina brothers were arrested
shortly after the affair and brought to
Pittsburg to-day. None ofthe negroes
implicated in the shooting at Unity
yesterday have been arrested.
The campers are arranging for an
other big turnout of the farmers next
Tuesday night. At Greensburg this

A Sweeping Decision.

Richmond, Va, August 24.-Judge
Natgan Golf, of the United States
circuit court for this circuit, to-day
handed down decree in the case of
the Southern Bell Telephone and
Telegraph Company versus the city
of Richmond
When the franchise and charter of
the Southern Bell Telephone and
Telegraph Company expired some
months since, it was not renewed, the
company refusing to agree to certain
conditions which the city council
sought to place in the charter. Then
the company secured an injunction
in the United States circuit court
from Judge Goff, restraining the city
from interfering with it's lines OF
works till the case could be decided
by Judge Goff. One claim of the
company was that the streets they
occupied were post-roads and part of
the mail system.
The decree says: "The court,
without passing on the rights
claimed by the complainant company
under the laws of Virginia and the
ordinances of the city of Richmond,
is of opinion, and doth adjudge, or
der and decree, that the complainant
company has, in accordance with the
terms and provisions, and under the
protection of the act of congress OF
the United States, approved July "A,
1866, (Which is an authority para.
mount and superior to any state law
or city ordinance in conflict there
with the right to construct, main
tain, and operate it's lines over and
along the streets and alleys OF the
city of Richmond, both those now oc-
cupied by the complainant company
and those not so occupied, and to
put up, renew, replace and repair its
lines, poles and wires over and along
said streets and alleys, as well as to
maintain, construct and operate the
same, and to connect its lines with
new subscribers along said streets
and alleys; and the said city of Rich
mond, its agents, officers and all
Others are enjoined and restrained
from cutting, removing or in any way
injuring said lines, poles and wires Of
the complainant company, and from
preventing or interfering with the
exercise of the aforesaid rights by the
complainant company, and also from
taking proceedings to intlict and en-
force fines and penalties on said com
pany for exercising it's said rights"
The case will be appealed.

Desperate Negro Killed.

CHARLOTTE, N. G. August "a
Capt. H. A. Bason tells a News re-
porter that there was an exciting hand
to-hand combat with pistols in Angus
ia yesterday afternoon. Two police
men were after negro of desperate
character. They found him in an al
ley way in a disreputable portion Of the
city. The negro, as soon as he saw
the police were after him, pulled his
gun and began shooting at one Of the
oflicers,a at the same time backing The
other officer was standing at the Other
entrance to the alley and the negro
backed right into his arms. He turned
to shoot the second officer, when his
hand that held the pistol was knocked
to one side and he was instantly killeC
by one Of the policemen. The ball Ell
tered the forehead at the base of the
nose, crushing the skull and exposing
the brain to view i was an exciting
scene and one long to be remembered

Trouble in Arkansas.

Little Rock, August 25.-The re-
ported wholesale lynching in Cleve
land county proves to have been
premature, though it may occur at
and time. 1t seems that the ring
leaders in Saturdays riot at Kendall's
Mill have not yet been captured.
The only definite information received
from the scene of the trouble this
evening is contained in a special
dispatch to the Gazette as follows:
"Rison, Ark, Aug. 25.-Joe Smith,
Frank Matthews, Frank Wright and
George Callahan, the main actors in
the murder of T. T. johnson near
Kendall, on Saturday last, are still at
large.
"There is no mistake about the
murderous participation in this bloody
affair of the negro Wiley, lynched on
Sunday night.
There are six negroes in Jail here
at the present time charged with be-
ing connected with the murder of Mr..
Johnson. Two of the number are
thought to be innocent, but the other
four are believed to be guilty.
"Great excitement prevails, and it
is difficult to state what the outcome
will be. The sheriff is securing the
country for the ring leaders, and it is
thought they cannot escape"

Dry Goods rlarket'

NEW YORK, August 23.--The dry
goods market open with pronounced
activity in all grades. The market for
cottons continued active, the slight
falling off in the demand noted at last
week close being recovered to-day on
mail orders from all sections of the
country. The price situation is still
firm in all grades, being noticeably so
in brown goods, though sellers show
little inclination torecede in any grade.
Woollens in all lines show the same
strong front which has ruled for the
past week. In mems wear fabrics the
continued sales on the road at the ad-
vanced prices ruling are the subject OF
pleasant comment in the trade. This
is not confined only to the cheaper lines
but considerable amount of higher
priced goods have been disposed of re-
Gently.
Staple cottons are very firm. In
brown goods there are many buyers
ready to duplicate previous orders, but
sellers are, as rule, disinclined to
part with goods at anything less than
current rates. Export goods have
gained somewhat in demand, but are
not as active as those for domestic
use. Ducks and osnaburgs are firm.
