A FARM HANDS ROMANCE.
HE THOUGHT HE HAD KILLED A
DESPERATE RIVAL.
The Man Had Shot Hin and He, in

to Ohio.

A peculiar death, about which hangs the
ever a1luring shadow of mystery and ro-
nance. occurred at Shadeville. near CO.
lumbus, o. The victim was a farm hand,
who has been employed at different farms
in hat vicinity for the past two years,
and who went by the name of Robert
Floyd. though acknowledging to his
friends that name was assumed. Accord
ing to the story told by the few Of his as
sociates with whom the man became real
ly intimately acquainted. Floyd left his
home in Campbell county. ". Va. about
three years ago in the belief that he had
killed a man.
The story has it that while Floyd was
counting a young lady one Sunday evening
a rival slipped up to the parlor window
and fired at him with a shotgun charged
feet In Floyd's face and neck. while a
number struck the young lady. danger
ously, wounding her as well. Floyd's
wounds were sufficiently severe to keep
him confined to his bed Cor several months.
and the shot that remained in his cheek
and neck never ceased to cause him pain
full annoyance.
Following his recovery and that of his
sweetheart, Floyd sustained the time-hon-
oied West Virginia custom of going gun

What became of the woman In the case

to Ohio, dropped out of the knowledge ano

The man was about 40 years of age. and
had told different stories as to his past
one Of which was that he had several chill.

WHIPPED TO DEATH.
Trial of q Colored Boy for the Muir.
der of a White Com
nanIon-

Ono of the most interesting murder trials
in the history of West Virginia is that of
James Edward Jones. a 14-year-old colored
boy, which began last week at Mounds
vile.
Young Jones. who is regarded by physi-
clans as a degenerate. is charged with kill
ing Stanley Mason, a 10-year-old boy. and
the serious wounding Of his brother. Willie
Mason. 2 years of age.
The murder was committed last August.
The mother of the Mason boys had left
them at their home a quarter Of a mile
back of Moundsville. When she returned
from her place Of employment she found
the yard about the house spattered with
blood. In one corner of the yard back of
the house she found Willie, the younger
boy. He was conscious. but his body was
literally flayed.
A few feet further the body of Stanley
Mason was found. He was dead. and in
locations pointed to the fact that he had
been whipped to death. He had been tied.
hand and foot. before the whipping be-
gan.
Young Jones was arrested. and made a
| partial confession. He hadt whipped the
boys all day because Stanley told of his
theft of a bride from a neighbor. Jones
cut all the sticks he could find in the yard.
and when tired he would rest until he had
enough strength to proceed with the tor
turc.

lily for him.. he was taken to Rahad. where
the khalif Abdullah, impressed by his man
ner. knowledge of the country and linguistic
ability, spared his life and treated him
with comparative kindness. Slatin had to
pay for all this by taking the oath of
fidelity and allesiance to the mal,di; But:
potentate kept Slatin in chains for several
weeks. At last he was allowed i certain
amount of liberty.
In March. 1896. Slatin. after eleven years
Imprisonment. escaped from Omdurman
and appeared in Assouan In ragged attire.
ard one of them told ms that. after telling
them who he was. Slatin's first words We're:
Give me a brandy and soda"
There Is nothing particularly noticeable
about the pasha in ordinary dress. except
his bronzed face. which: when first he was
seen in the streets OF Cairo. looked like 4
piece of well-poliShed mahogany. He Is a
man of charming manners and a most de,
lightful companion. full of good cheer ana
good stories. He can take a joke well, but
there is one he does not enjoy.
When Slatin arrived in Cairo Baron
Keidler Won Exeregg. the Austrian diplo-
matte agent. invited all his consular con-
freres to meet the hero of the Soudan at
dinner. Everything went well until the end
of the second course, when Slatin made a
sudden exit, and not even the Persuasions
Of the entire. company could bring him
back to his place at the table. The truth
was his stomach could not stand the con-
glomerate mess of a civilized dinner. Eleven
years of bread and dates had not prepared
his stomach for the chef doeuvre OF a
French cook.
When the first expedition against the
mahdi left Cairo. last spring a year ago.
Slatin was appointed to accompany the
intelligence department. No man who
knows him will accuse the pasha of cow
ardice; yet he was heard to say that he
would rather go anywhere In the world
than there, because he knew that If he
should be recaptured by the mahdi the most
invent would be inflicted upen him. Time
has relieved him of that fear. and once
| again he Is the hero Of the Soudan.

From the Independent.
Perhaps no anecdote Of Mr.. Lincoln IL
Illustrates more forcibly his "longheaded-

his debate with Mr.. Douglas. which may
be told as follows:
One afternoon during the joint debate Mr..
Lincoln was sitting with his friends PLAN
ming the programme. when he was observed
to go of in a kind of a reverie and for some
thing around him. Then slowly bringing
in the air. and then letting it fan with a
quick slap upon his thigh. he said:

No one asked him what the question
was. but that evening it was the turn Of
the midst Of his address, all at once Mr.:
suddenly struck him, and said:

Suppose. jedge. there was a new town or
colony just started in some Western ter

Judge Douglas beat about the bush. but
failed to give a direct answer.
No. no. ledge, that won't do. Tell us
plainly what will be done about IT."
Again Douglas tried to evade but Lin
coin would not be put off, and he insisted
that a direct answer should be given At
last Douglas admitted that the majority
would have their way by some means or
other.
Mr.. Lincoln said no more. He had Sc
cured what he wanted. Douglas had an
