assassinated last night at his country
home near Callands, twenty-five miles

to move away. The dispute which re-
suited in the killing was about this mat
ter. Cabell was shot with a double-bar-
relied shotgun loaded with buckshot, and
instantly killed.
Dr. Cabell was "a years of age and in
feeble health. Hankins Is a stalwart
man. DR.. Caben was a brother of ex-
Congressman George c. Cabell and was
for many years a leading physician Of the
county. He moved to Danville about ten
years ago.
Later information from Callands is that
Hankins killed Cabell by knocking him
in the head with an ak and not by shoot

Induce the Queen Regent of Spain to

Washington, Aug. 27.-Gen Woodford,
minister TO Spain, has cabled the state de-
parment that he will leave Paris on the

regent IS spending the summer.
Recent reports from Spain said that the
queen regent would not receive Minister

DOINGs AT SEAGIRT.
Changes In the Ranges Not Regard
ed as improvements.

Sea Girt, N. j., Aug. 27.-During the past
year a great many changes have been
made in the arrangement of the targets
here, and some of the crack shots think
that the changes have not improved the
range. The firing point for two three. five
and six hundred yards is now one contin-
uous line, like the Avondale range in Sa-
vannah. The two and three hundred yard
ranges now have sixteen targets each in
stead of ten and five, respectively, as in
former years. The FIVE and six hundred
yard butts contain ten targets each. The
800 yard targets are now placed on top of
the sand dunes on the beach and the
bullets fired at those targets fall into the
sea. This year the commands of the reg
ular army stationed in the vicinity of New
York are using the Sea Girt ranges for
their annual target practice and the pres.
ence of a company of the Thirteenth In
fantry has interfered a great deal with
the preliminary work of the Georgia team.
Several of the regulars were interested
spectators during the practice a 200 yards
on Wednesday. After few of the Geor-
gians had fired and made fairly good
scores, one of the visitors re-
mared to his fellows that 1t
was time to go home, before
he became entirely color-blind, the white
disk indicating bulls-eyes having appear
ed so frequently as to impair his faculty
for distinguishing colors.
The shooting Wednesday was confined
to one round of seven shots per man at
six hundred yards, and one round of ten
shots at two hundred yards. Some of the
scores were quite good. and, considering
the conditions under which the team shot
at two hundred yards, the result of the
days practice was very fair.
Austin. f. c. Wilson and Dreyer did not
complete their scores at six hundred
yards, on account of the closing of that
range for the day at l o'clock.
The several scores follow:

The British loss consisted of one Sepoy
