Decatur, Oct 29.-Late this afternoon.
Walkers store, rear the Louisville and
Nashville shops gate, was the scene of
horrible tragedy, as result of which
a bright young man is lowering between
life ard death, and his assassin is in
durance with charge of murder against
him.
The cause of the difficulty was a slight
misunderstanding that occurred between
Albert Martin and William Shaw day be-
fore yesterday. The difficulty was re-
newed this afternoon by Martin attack
ing Shaw The men c1inch.d and fell
to the ground together. Without any
provocation whatever a friend of Mar
tin named Wills Blanton, an ex- police
man of New Decatur, seized large
rock and struck Shaw over the left ear,
crushing his skull.
While lying apparently dead, Shaw
was fallen upon by his first assailant,
and cut and hacked about the head
and nsck until he presented a revolving
sight The two men seemed to be per-
feet demons. Shaw was quickly given
medical attention but was pronounced
in an extremely critical condition.
Blanton and Martin were indicted by
the grand jury which is now in session,
and were placed under heavy bond.
They are still in jail. The latest report
is that Shaw cannot live.

the most startling portent of our time"

Henry George, Jr., Nominated

henry George, DR., Nominated
Henry George, Jr., was rendered and
has accepted the nomination as the can
didate of the Jefferson democrats, to
take the place made vacant by the death
of his father.
Henry George, Jr., was born In Sac
ramento, Cal, in 1862. He was educated
in the public schools of San Francisco.
He was taken from school and put to
work in a printing office and helped to
set type for Progress and Poverty
He came east with his father in 1880.
Inn 1888 he went to England as his
fathers private secretary. After his re-
turn he was employed for some time on
the editorial staff of Truth, a daily then
published in this ety. Afterward he
was assistant to the late James Red
path, when the latter was editor of the
North American Review
When the STANDARD" was founded by
his father as the recognized exponent
of the single tax movement he became
managing editor of the paper, holding
that position until 1891. Then he went
to Washington as special correspond
ent for a number of Western papers.
In 1891 he spent six months in England
American dailies, writing letters ON So
cial and political topics.
In 1893 he went jacksonville Fla
to assume the news management of the
Jacksonville Citizen. He held that po-
sition for two years and then retired to
act as his fathers secretary and to as
sist him in the revision of the new book
on political economy, which was nearly
completed.
How the George Votes Will Go.
The practical politicians are all said
to agree that the democracy of Thomas
Jefferson, built UP by Henry George in
Three weeks will not be a principal fac
tor in next Tuesdays election. 1t had
been generally estimated that he would
poll more than 10000 votes IL he ma
survived the campaign, but these votes
are probably not transferable. Some of
the leaders were today in favor of
throwing the influence of the organiza-
ton to Seth Low, bui- the campaign COM
mittee decided not to give UP the fight
and nominated young Henry George to
take his fathers place. They also issued
a strong address to the Voters asking
them to support the substitute
Young George Eas none of his fathers
ability as campaigner and manager,
and it Is we'll known.
Tammany leaders have regained their
confidence that was shaken by Henry
Georges extraordinary campaign. They
have called in their anti-George litera-
ture, silenced by Georges death, and
are mourning publicly over George, de-
claring him good man and a democrat,
and expect, with reason, to gather to-
gether some of his strength. Some
thousand voters will probably stick to
young George, and as the Tracy leaders
here said all along that there was no
straight out republicans in the George
ranks they probably expect nothing.

FATE OF THE STEAMER BARN4RD.
Feared That She Is Lost With All on
 Board.

Board. Boston, May 14-There is a deep mys- tery surrounding the whereabouts of
 the steamer Bernard, owned by the
 Boston Fruit company of thisncity, and
 grave fears are entertained for the
 safety of the steamer and those on
 board. On Monday, May 3, the Ser
 nard, Captain B. Kitchener of Maiden,
 Mass, left Philadelphia for Port An
 tonic, Jamaica, in ballast, and was due
 there Sunday, May 9. She has not yet
 arrived, however.
 That the steamer was very near her destination when disaster overlook her Is attested to by Captain Hopkins of the steamer Brookline, (Br), which ar
 rived here last Monday from Port An-
 tonic, Jamaica, and who reported pass ing the Bernard in Crooked Island Passage, on the afternoon of May z. She was then proceeding under good speed towards Jamaica and in the or dinary course of events should have
 covered the remaining $50 miles in con- siderably less than two days.
 Since then there has not been the slightest trace of the vessel. At the of- | flee of the owners of the vessel in this | city it was stated that the Bernard was | five days overdue, but no theory was advanced as to the unusual delay. The officials of the company preferred to l wait for day or two before making a | detailed statement, hoping in the mean | time to hear some tidings of the miss | ing craft

A Burglar Alarm.

An employe of Francis, the Chapel street caterer, reported to Patrolman Cooper about o'clock last evening that three men were making their es- cape from a room over Loomis & Sons Co.'S store by means of the roof of an adjoining building. The officer tele- phoned to headquarters for men and also to notify MT. William H. Beecher that it was thought the men came from his office Patrolman Lautenbach went to Patrolman Cooper's assistance. MT. Beecher arrived very soon and joined in the search Patrolman Lautenbach in attempting to scale one of the walls slipped and fell. He sprained his right wrist and also hurt his head Dr. Park attended him. There are several theo- ries for the alarm. It is thought that some one was locked in one of the stores in the block and had to make his exit through windows and by means of the roof.

and Senators About to Draw Weapons.
 Frankfort, Ky, May 14.-A wild scene occurred in the senate to-day over an attempt of the fused gold dem- ocrats and republicans to force through a bill providing for putting one name under two different devices on the state election ballots. The silver denl- ocrats though in the minority outgen- eraled the opposition, got one of their number, Senator Goebel. in the chair, pending an appeal, and adjourned the senate The appeal was from the rul- ing of the regular republican prest- dent, who counted quorum present, although not voting.
 The majority refused to stand ad- journed in the announcement of the speaker pro tenn. President Worthing- ton was urged back into the chair. "Falsehood" and "indecency' were words hurled between Stephenson and Goebel, who seemed about draw weapons. Members had to get between the president and Bronson, but the president finally declared the senate ad- journed because the democratic clerks who left on the first announcement of adjournment would not do their duty, as he expressed it. The fight from this on will be against any quorum until the end of the session, and If the president again counts a quorum there will be trouble.

TWO MEN ELECTROCUTED,
Live Wire Causes the Death of William
 Casey and Patrick Gavin.

Chelsea, Mass, May 14.-William Casey, thirty-two years of age, and Patrick Gavin, his brother-in-law, aged twenty-two, were electrocuted by com- ing in contact with telegraph or tele- phone wire that had fallen to the side walk at the corner of Dudley street and Webster avenue, and had been charged from a wire of the Chelsea Gas and Electric Light company.
 The men lived In Casey's house, No. 35 Dudley street, and were on their way home together The street was practi- cally deserted, and just how the acci- dent was brought about cannot be learned. The first known that any mis- hap had occurred was when screams were heard coming from the locality. Several persons rushed to the spot and were mortified to find the two men lying on the sidewalk with the deadly wires around them and literally burning to death.
 Several attempts were made to pull every instance the would-be rescuers received a shock which deterred fur ther efforts in that direction. As quickly as possible the police and em- ployes of the electric light company were notified and the latter by cutting off the current made it possible to ex- tricate the victims By that time both men were dead, and by direction of the authorities their bodies were removed to Casey's home near by.
 Casey was a motorman employed by the Lynn and Boston Street railway, and leaves a wife and a ten-months-old child Gavin, who was unmarried, was rubber worker by trade. By the shutting off of the electric current the entire city was left in darkness tenn porarily. .--

 Joseph Clark, young man twenty years of age, employed by J. Smith & Sons, the oysternen at Oyster Point, was killed at the wharf at Oyster Point at e.30 o'clock last evening by being crushed between the edge of the dock and the hull of an oyster steamer.
 Clark worked on the oyster steamer Cambria, Captain Mcclellan, which had just come into the dock for the night The boat was coming to moor ings and Clark was letting down the bumpers to prevent the steamer bang ing against the piles of the wharf, when he slipped and fell just in time to be caught between the steamer and the dock as the boat was working in. The steamer then surged back and Clark fell down into the water. The oyster boat was at once pushed away from the dock and the unfortunate man was taken from the water. The men about did all possible to relieve the injured man, and an ambulance was summoned from the hospital. Before the ambu- lance arrived, however, Clark had expired.
 Dr. White, the medical examiner, was summoned and after he had viewed the remains they were taken to the resi- dence of Frederick Barney, brother-in- law of the deceased, at 131 South Water street, where he boarded.
