THE FLORIDA SENATORSHIP.
Complicated Condition of the Fight

CcApIfcate0 condition Of the Fight
to Succeed Mr.. Call.
Special Correspondence of The Evening Star
TALLAHASSEE, Fla, April 25, 1897.
The Florida senatorial situation is more
complicated than ever. Since the ballot
ing began each candidate seems better
satisfied that he is to be the victor. and
there about dozen of such confident can
didates, the more prominent being Senator
Wilkinson Call. whose term expired March
4; ex-Chief Justice Raney, Col w. d. Chip
ley Of Pensacola, R. A. Burford, Circuit
Judge w. A. Hooker and Supreme Court
Justice NJ. H. Mabry. There are others in
the race. others who have been voted for,
but who have not yet shown much strength
either in number Of votes or in being TAXED
of to any extent as probable yicrors
Among the latter may be mentioned Rem

DRAINED WITH A HATCHET.
LnndOn LOvett Killed I'm a Desperate
Fight With His Nephew.


Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
ROUND HILL. Va, April %, 1897.
Landon Lovett was killed here this MORN
ing In fight with his nephew, jeff Lovett.
The alteration grew out of the trouble
some character of the man who lost his
life. During the warthe made a bad name
for himself as an outlaw, and was i'm
picated in number of crimes. Since
the war he served several terms in the
penitentiary. being sentenced twice for
horse-stealing. About year ago he was
released from the penitentiary. after serv-
ing a two-years' term. He came back to
Loudoun county and made his home with
his nephew, JEFF Lovett, at this place. OF
late he had been Quarrelsome and abusive
to the nephew and to the members of the
Waddell family, who lived in the same
house.
This morning Landon Lovett got into a
quarrel with some of the Waddells, and
began to curse them Jeff Lovett inter-
fered and told his uncle to behave like a
decent man, and to quit his cursing and
come into the house to breakfast
You must behave he said. "or leave
this place
Well replied Landon, 'ff / must leave,
I'll clean the platter first" and he whip
ped out a razor and made a slash at JEFF.
The latter dodged and seized hatchet.
Then began a terrific fight. The old man
was in his seventy-fifth year. but was
active for his years. Jeff was young.
agile and athletic. 1t was an unequal
struggle. and 1t was not long before the
old man received a blow that finished him.
JEFF escaped without a cut
The affair has caused considerable ex-
citement In upper Loudoun. Little is
heard that is to the credit of the dead
man.
Magistrates c. W. Hammersley and c.
c. Gaver were notified, and summoned as
a jury James Carruthers. John c. Paxton
Benjamin Cummings, ]. G. Powell ]. A.
Dowell and Henry BASQUE, who found q
verdict in accordance with the facts, and
generating JEFF Lovett on the ground of
self-defense. The local wonder is that the
old man had not been killed in the same
way long ago.
