 CHIN.
Was Resting the Gun Against His Breast with His Foot on the Hammers.-Lived at
 Double Wells.

News was received in this city Saturday of the accidental killing of Jim Caldwell, which occurred at Double Wells Friday at noon. Jim is the 13-year-old son of Mr. c. H. Caldwell, who resides at that place. About 12 o'clock Friday attention was attracted to the barking of his dog not great way from his house. He and his two broth CTS took their guns and went to in vestigate. Jim rested his gun on the ground with the barrel leaning against his breast, and looked up in the tree about which the dog was barking. He thoughtlessly placed his foot en the hammers of his gun, which drew them back. His foot slipped off and the gun discharged its load through the boys chin and into the brain.

RECEIVED A CALL
But DecIined1t Because Pine Bluffs
 Good Enough for Him.

The fame and popularity of the Rey. G. Gordon Smeade, of Trinity Episcopal Church, of this city, is in- ereasing. Although he has been in charge of this parish less than a year, his fame and energy in the cause of Christ have reached beyond the borGers of the State, and several parishes, in need of real live, ener- getie and eloquent rector, are en- deayoring to land him. Not satis- fled with having deprived Pine Bluff of one of her pastors, the par ish of Bowling Green, Ky, followed the example of the Baptist congre- gation of that city some time ago in calling a Pine Bluff minister, and extended the Rev. Mr. Smeade call to assume charge of the Episco- pal Church at that place. But the Rev Smeade, although brief resi- dent, thinks 9Pine Bluff is good enough for me, and returned his earnest thanks but emphatic decli- nation of the honor.
 The Rev. Smeade is modest man, and does not like to talk to a news paper reporter except when the latter is a member of his congrega- tion at preaching and prayers, or seeks ministerial aid and counsel, but tho GRAPHIC has got Q scoop" on the parson and no doubt he will be surprised when he sees the fore going lines in print. But the .GRApnIo congratulates MT, smeade on his good judgment, and also con. graduates his communieants on the fact that the Key. Smeade will re- main the rector of this parish, where he is doing such noble and lofty work.

 and Immoral Conduct.

J. l. Lowe, an African Methodist minister, has been suspended until the next meeting of the conference for drunken and immoral conduct.

THROUGH A CAR WINDOW
A Missile Thrown at the Valley Train at Jefferson
 Barracks.

As the Valley train. which arrived here this morning, was pulling up to the depot at Jefferson Barracks, q military post fourteen miles south of St. Louis, Mo, some miscreant threw n two pound rock through one of the car windows.
 The rock shattered the window by which MT. James Fentress. who was passenger on the train, was sIt- ting and passed just over his head. It was a ragged sharp rock and had MT. Fentress been struck1 the blow would undoubtedly proved fatal. The train returned to the station, but the person who threw the rock made good his escape.

BRILLIANT BOB TAYLOR.
A Peerless Lecture by Tennessee's Famous Governor Heard by a
 Delighted Audience.

Gov. Bob Taylor, Tennessee's fa- nous Adding and pardoning Gov ernor" and peerless lecturer, deliv- cred his lecture, The Fiddle and the Bow, at the opera house last Friday night to a fair sized and highly appreciative audience.
 The weather was inelement and the audience was not as large as ex- pected for so distinguished a lectur- CT, but what the audience lacked in numbers it made up in enthusiasm. But it was a representativ audience composed of cultured people, and those who were fortunate enough to be present were delighted.
 No newspaper article can give an adequate idea of the distinguished Tennesseean's lecture. Cold type cannot convey the warm and impul- sive feeling of words. No one can fully appreciate one of Gov. Taylor's lectures without hearing it. II is within his power to play upon the heart-strings of his hearers with as much power and pathos as upon the strings of his famous violin. His audiences are carried into the high est realms of ethereal bliss by his ravishing eloquence, moved to pity and to tears by his pathos, and con vulsed with laughter by his anec- dotes. Indeed, 10 spend an evening with Gov. Bob Taylor on the plat form is to run the gamut of human feeling and emotion. As a word painter he IS peerless, as an orator magnificent, and as a story teller inimitable. Pine Bluff audiences have heard the worlds mostrenown- ed lecturers, but on the American lecture platform today, in his pecul- far parts, Bob Taylor has no equal. His methods and manners are en- tirely original and unique. There is no one that can be compared with him, for so great is the variety of entertainment he affords his audi ences that an evening with Bob Taylor is to enjoy everything from the opera comique to high class lecture couched in the most beauti- ful language.
 But why try to describe Gov. Bob Tavlor's lecture? Who can paint the rainbow, describe Q sunbeam or adorn the rose? Even to print his words in cold type would give no adequate conception of the melody of his music and song, or his inimit- able manner of expression and de livery. Therefore, suffice it to say that all of life has not been enjoyed until Gov. Taylor's lecture is heard.
 Those who heard Gov. Taylor are anxious for a repetition oI the occasion, and hope for a return engagement at an early date.

AN INTERESTING CASE.
The Result of Duel Between Over
zealous Attorneys.

Mr $. NJ. Taylor leaves for Cam den today, where he is employed in q case which is attracting consider able interest. A summary history of the ease is as follows;
 In June last, in Union County, two young lawyers, one named Shep- pard and the other Coffee. were en= gagged in the trial of a law suit. In his argument to the Court, Coffee re- marked that Sheppard had admitted that his Sheppard client had lied. Sheppard resented this hy the use of an insulting epithet to Coffee and Coffee replied to him iu a similar way. Sheppard retorted and Coffee then threw d chair at Sheppard which missed him. Sheppard Chen drew a pistol and commenced firing at Coffee, shooting him first in the front and then in the back Hof his body. Coffee died in few minutes after the shooting. Mr. Goffee's wife heard the shooting and ran to the court room, and as she entered the door, her husband fell dying in her arms. The defendant took change of venue to Camden, and the cpse will be stried there, commencing Monday. The deceased and defend ant are highly connected. Much in- terest is being taken in the case, and splendid legal talent is employed for the prosecution and defense. A few of Pine Bluff will go down to witness the trial.

of the British. Arnold was willing, but
Andre was captured on his way through
the lines. was tried as a spy and hanged.
History has recorded the approval by civili-
cation of this act. Colonel Ruiz was as

seeking to corrupt an insurgent leader
He was seeking to bride him to lay down
his arms in an effort to demoralize the in
surgent forces. He was under no flag OF

to negotiate peace, sought out no respon-
sible leader with his propositions and con-
formed In every particular to the accepted
understanding of spy. Had he been
deputed by the captain general to propose
negotiations for an armistice and had he
with proper credentials, sought out Gen
eral Gomez with overtures for peace he
might with some degree of reason have
been considered an emissary entitled to
the protection of the flag Of truce. But, as
