DIED ALONE IN THE WOODS.
sad End of a Wandering Editor and
Typesetter.

Ocala, Fla, June 26.-The badly decom-
posed body of Thomas B. Dickinson of
ST. Louis was found near Kendrick. FIVE
miles north Of Ocala, this morning about
$50 yards from Whitehead's home. Nearly
all of the flesh had been eaten from his
body by vultures The head was entirely
severed from the body and was recovered
some fifty yards from where he was
found.
Deceased was a printer and about two
weeks ago worked on the Banner, when
he was taken iii, and after lingering
around until last Thursday night, left
with the intention of going to Nashville,
Tenn, to meet his wife. He was a men,
Der of the Typographical union and had
several letters of high recommendation
from metropolitan journals on which he
had been telegraph editor. He was 80
years old, and a Mason in good standing.
Justice Crawford held the inquest and
the verdict was death from an unknown
cause. 1t is believed he wandered to this
spot and either lay down to rest or drop
ped dead. He was last seen a week ago
to-day at Kendrick by the section boss,
who states that he was very sick. His re-
mains were buried where they were found
out in the piney woods.
His parents reside in Tennessee, while

Jacksonville, Fla, June 26.-The case in

of the steamer David Kemps, was charged
with assault and battery on Miss Eva
Dempsey, was tried in the criminal court

ed guilty by the jury.
The crime, as alleged in the informa-
ton, was committed March 7, 1897, while
the defendant and Miss Dempsey were out
riding in the road that leads from Ever
green cemetery to Panama Park
The first charge brought against Capt
Brown was that of assault with intent to
rape, and on this charge the defendant
was tried in Judge w. H. Bakers court.
When the case was carried to the crimi-
nal court Solicitor Christie changed the
ofense to assault and battery. as the evil
denee better supported that charge
Miss Dempsey was placed upon the stand
and testified that the defendant had made
propositions that were not proper
The defendant testified that Mr. Demp-
sey, the girls father, had instigated the
prosecution because Of a business misun-
Outstanding between he and the father.
He said, further, that what liberties he
had taken with Miss Dempsey were with
her consent. After a short elaboration.

WORK ON THE MISSISSIPPI.
The Commission FavOrs Both Levees
and Dredging.

The Commission FavOrs Both Levees
and Dredging.
New York, June 26-After working two
days on its report, the Mississippi river
commission completed its labor this af-
ternoon, and the nonresident commits
sioners left for their homes in the west
and south.
The commission has gone over the re-
port to the secretary thoroughly, and made
many important revisions. Congress ap-
proprlated 80, 993,033 for levees, etc. 1t Is
the duty of the commission to hear dele
gates from the various districts on the ap-
portionment of this sum and then make
out their report accordingly.
The commission apportioned $4,000
for dredging the river; 81, 10000 for levees
and $3.50, OS3 for the general expenses OF
the commission, preservation of the banks
and revertments, purchase of new plants
and the putting of the plant now at hand
in proper condition.
Advertisements for contracts will be
published in a few weeks and the much
needed work on the levees will begin at
once. The report to the Secretary of War,
which is kept a secret, 1t is said, will ad-
vocate liberal appropriations for levee ex-
tensions.
IL is understood, however, that the COM
mission recommends the levee system as
well as dredging, and will urge the con-
struction of levees where there are now
none in order to protect the levees that
are built.
The past three months, since the dis
astrous floods along the Mississippi and
tributary streams there has sprung up
some opposition to levees. 1t is claimed
that levees are inadequate to prevent
floods and it is further claimed that the
restriction by the levees tends to heap up
the water below. The antagonists of the
levee system are strong advocates of
dredging. Most Of the delegates who came
to the hearings of the commission favored
both the levee system and dredging, and It
is said that the report takes the same
view
One of the most interesting features of
the report is said to be the recital of
millions of dollars of property destroyed
by the last great overflow, and a sugges-
ton that the expenditure of only a small
portion of the value of the property de-
stroyed would prevent further devasta-
ton. Immediate and continuous action by
congress is strongly urged.

VICTIM OF A BOYS VENGEANCE
BLACK MAN FILLED WITH BUCK
SHOT AND BULLETS.

The Trouble Had Its Origin Earlier
in the Day in Dispute over the
Rspht-of-Way on Public Road.
The Negro said to Have Cut the
white Boy with His Whip-smnrt-
tDg Hinder the Identification, the
Rov seeks the Negro Out Later and
shoots Him.
Augusta, Ga, June ga terrible story
If vengeance reaches the city tonight
from across the river, and Will Allen, a
negro. lies in Lamar hospital full of lead,
and with the chances in favor Of his death
before morning
Allen was a driver for the Hankinson
Lumber Company, which does business in
North Augusta, on the Carolina side Of
the Savannah river.
John Catheny is a young white man,
about whom there are several stories,
and nothing authentic. One story is that
he is an Italian; another that he lives in
or near Hamburg and was also employed
bv the Hankinson Lumber Company.
The story is that the negro Allen and
young Catheny had words about the right
of way. and when the white boy refused
10 get out of his road, the negro cut him
with his whip.
The boy must have writhed under the
modification of being struck by the
negro's whip for this evening while the
employees were sitting around waiting to
be paid off for the weeks work, young
Catheny came up accompanied by his
father. He carried a double barrelled gun,
and as soon as he was close enough to AL
len to be 'sure of his man, he raised his
gun and fred. The negro sprang forward
with a scream of fright and pain, only to
receive the second barrel load of buck
shot. Some how this did not stop him and
as he started to run for safety, the boy
father is said to have handed the latter a
pistol. with which he Immediately began
humping the lead into the negro's body I'M
til he fell. At the hospital 1t was found
that the negro had ten buckshot and four
pistol bullets in his body. He is consid-
cred to be in a critical condition, but the
surgeons will not declare whether his
wounds are fatal until morning, when he
will have had time to rally from the shock
of the shooting.
This is the story as 1t Is gathered, largely
from hearsay. The young white boy has
not been arrested, and the wounded man
Is not in a condition to talk about the oc-
currence.

feet of the mile, where Bald let out a
link. Just as he was passing Cooper he
fell, and was out of the race. Cooper
went after Kiser but could not catch him,
the latter winning the heat and race by
about three lengths

cheered Kiser Justify. The time of the
second heat was PIG 2-5.
