FEARFUL CRIME IN FLORIDA.
TWO MEN AND A WOMAN STABBED
BY A DRUNKEN MAN,

The Host Horribly Slushed and Ex-
pected to Die-His Wife and the
Other Man Not Fatally wounded.
The Dying Man Asks That His As
sailant he Not Punished as He Was
His Best Friend and Did Not Know
What He Was Doing.
Puuta Gorda, Fla, Nov 2S.-Late Satur-
day afternoon John Lucas, Dennis Sheri-
dan young man named Love and a
man named Tendall left the cattle ranch
and went to Lucas house, where, with
the exception of Tendall, they dismount-
ed from their horses and intended to
spend the night. After Tendal had rid
den off a short distance from the house
he heard pistol shots, followed by the
screams of a woman. He returned, and
a frightful spectacle met his gaze. John
Lucas was lying on the floor literally cut
TO pieces, and both Mrs Lucas and Love
were wounded, but not seriously. Sheri-
dan, it appears, had done the bloody work
in a drunken frenzy.
First he fired his revolver in the air
doing no harm. Then he drew his knife
and, accusing Love of being detective,
made for him, but succeeded only in max
ing two slight wounds.
1t is supposed that Lucas involved him
self by attempting TO interfere. He was
cut across the forehead and right Shout
der, stabbed in the neck and abdomen,
and one of his lungs was cut in two.
Mrs. Lucas received a painful but not Sc
rious wound in the arm.
Lucas was yet alive when Tendall left
for assistance. but he said the man would
not live many hours. Lucas himself was
conscious of this fact. He tod Tendan that
he could not live. but said he wanted no
harm to come to Sheridan, his murderer;
that Sheridan was his best friend, and
would not have killed him had he known
what he was doing.
John Lucas is the man who killed James
North the desperate murderer of Steve
Sauls, in attempting with others to cap
ture him.
Later Lucas got into trouble with Demp
sey Crews, a large cattle-owner and prom
inent citizen of the county and succeeded
in killing his adversary after he himself
had been shot to the ground.
Dennis Sheridan is said to be very
dangerous man, especially when under the
influence of liquor. He is charged with
having killed man years ago. for which
he served a term in the penitentiary.
Up to last accounts the murderer had
not been captured 1t Is thought that he is
in hiding somewhere in the lower part of
Lee county.

Brunswick, Ca, Nov. 2s.-No better evil

of Engineer Dan Devereaux, and the ships

number the trip was commenced
around Marsh Island. The Passaic

gram of the torpedo division, on the upper
deck Seaman Eustace Butts and in the
steering tower and superstructure Ensign
McBrown and Seamen Deming of torpedo

Numbering Nine Men.
Knoxville, Tenn, Nov. 2S-John Farrell
and Jesse Mabe were brought TO this city
to-day from Rogersvlle, where they we've
yesterday convicted of counterfeiting and
bound over to court without bond.
These men have for years been regarded
as desperate characters in Hawkins coun-
ty. Farrell is the murderer of nine men,
and he confesses to five of these crimes.
His family. however implicate him in the
four additional. He has served six years
in the state penitentary for larceny, and
was pardoned out of the Kentucky peni-
tertiary, where he was sent for murder.
When the federal government gets through
with Farrell. he will be turned over to the
state authorities, who will attempt to pun
ish him for his numerous violations of the
state laws.
The men were arrested for passing coun-
terfeit money last August, about the time
OF the constitutional convention election.
They had made a quantity of spurious
dollar and five-cent pieces. and the like
ness was so near perfect that it was diff
ficult to detect the imitation.
United States Deputy Collector Alton
learned of the passing of this money and
began an effort to capture the men. They
then fled for the west, at returned TO
Hawkins county about two weeks ago.
Deputy Alton located them aud effected
the arrests yesterday. They were arraign-
ed before United States Commissioner
Jarvis at Rogersville, and at the trial
may be told the whole story of how he
and Farrell had made the money and sub
sequently passed it, He stated that they
had destroyed the moulds.

UNION SOLDIERS MUST PAY.
House Kills the Amendment to Grant
Them Licenses Free.

Them Licenses Free.
Atlanta, Ca, Nov 2S.-The Georgia leg
islature has proven that true southern
sentiment is not yet dead in the south.
That body has just killed a
bill introduced by Mr.. Calvin Of
Richmond county, which provided
for granting free license to yankee soldiers
who might now be living in the state. The
bill created much surprise, and was strong-
ly condemned. Two men spoke in favor of
the bill, but their speeches received little
attention.
Several men who opposed the bill said
that they loved the unicn, and had no feel
ing of hostility against the north or
against the men who fought against the
south in the days of the civil war, but
they were unalterably opposed to a meas
ure that would be a reward for the men
who came to Georgia in 1864, and burned
the homes of the people who are now ex-
pected to help and pension the union SOL
diers.
A number of members spoke, and said
that the national government made ample
provision in the way of pensions for the
aid of the union veterans, and they
thought Georgia should confine her aid to
the men who bled in her defense during
the war There was no hostile sentiment
uttered against the north during the whole
progress of the argument, but the men,
bers seemed to regard the bill as ridicu-
lous.

LAWS OF ALASKA.
Gov. Brady Wants Congress to APP
point a Commission on Revision.

Gov. Brady Wants Congress to APP
point a Commission on Revision.
Seattle, WASH, Nov. 2S-In an interview.
Gov. John G. Brady of Alaska said: 1.-The
business men and officials of Alaska are
concerned in effecting some change or am
plifcation of the laws as they are at pres
ent in force. They will combine to sub
NIT to congress a resolution to authorize
the appointment of a com mission which
will consider the needs of Alaska. My idea
is that the commission should consist of
senator and representative and three bona
fide residents of Alaska. If we are able 10
get a commission, something may be ac-
complished for the practical good of Alas
ka. Otherwise, time devoted to Alaska will
be fitted away in the consideration of in
dividual bills of no benefit to the country
as whole.
MANY think Alaska should have a ter
ritorial form of government. The objec-
tions to this are manifold, chief among
them being the sparse population of the
country. A territory means taxation, and
they are not here to be taxed. 1t would
be of little avail to submit to congress
resolutions for change in the code now
in existence. These things must be in
vestigated by a committee who can as
certain the needs of the people by per-
sonal observation. We want an extension
of the land laws, the status of the natives
declared, regulation of the fish industry,
the right of appeal, and laws for the pres
servation of game,
1.-THE smuggling evil must also be dealt
with by the commission. Last year q, 900
gallons of Canadian whisky were struggled
into Alaska"
Gov. Brady thinks Alaska will be as
great an agricultural and farming coun-
try some day as a mining one

NARROW ESCAPE FROM LYNCHING

Camden Mob on the Point of Hang
ing a Man to a Pole.
Camden, N. j., Nov. 2S.-John Brump,
who claims to live in Philadelphia, mar
rowly escaped lynchng to-day at the
hands of an angry crowd because of an
attempted assault on a 12-year-old mulat-
to girl, Florence Pierce. The girl, who
lives in the lower part of Camden, was on
her way to Sunday school, when Brump,
who is a white man about 80 years of age,
is said to have dragged her into the
bushes. Her screams frightened him
away and he took refuge in a house close
by. He was captured by some citizens,
a crowd gathered and preparations were
being made to hang him to an electric
light pole when the police arrived and took
him into custody.
