WINNIE DAVIS PASSES AWAY
DAUGHTER OF THE CGNFEDER-
ACY Is DEAD.
Stricken By Fatal Malady at Mar
ragansett Pier - Her Sufferings
Have Been Intense.

Narragansett Pier, r. l., Sept. 1S.-
Miss Winnie Davis, daughter of Mrs.
jefferson Davis, died at noon today at
the Rockingham hotel, to which place
she came as a guest in the early part
of the Piers season. She had been Ill
for several weeks, and a fortnight ago
her ailment was diagnosed as malarial
gastritis. At times her condition be-
came very serious, so that consulta-
tions of physicians were deemed neces-
sary; but the frequent rallies gave
hope that she would ultimately recov-
er. During the past week esJeclally
was her condition considered favorable,
and it was thought her removal from
the hotel would be possible in a few
days, as the hotel had closed for the
season, leaving the patient and at
tendants practically alone in the house.
Last night, however, relapse in Miss
Davis condition was noticed, and
throughout the night she lost strength
perceptibly. This morning the physi-
clans said that the end was not far off,
and at noon death came to end the
suffering, which at times had been in
tense. Mrs. Davis had watched I'M
remittingly at her daughters bedside,
and she is now bowed with sorrow.
The physicians of Mrs. Davis report
ness in her affection, and no fears are
at present entertained of her health
yielding to the strain.
Miss Winnie Davis, the Daughter, of
the Confederacy," was born in the con-
federate executive mansion at Rich
mond, Va, in 1868. She was educated
principally at home, owing to the
troubles surrounding her father and
the publicity which attended all the
movements of the Davis family. Miss
Davis attained her maturity at Beau
voir, Miss. Here she assisted her
mother in various ways, and took her
place in the many social functions of
the place. She was her fathers con-
slant companion. She assisted him in
all his work, and much of the infor-
nation which was required by Mr.. Da-
Wis in his writings was secured from
his daughter Her strong character
was marked from youth She was en-
gagged to Mr. Wilkerson of Syracuse. N.
Y, but shortly after her fathers death
the engagement was broken off. While
no public explanation of the rupture
was given, it is well known that it was
for the purpose of maintaining her
fathers name. She received the name
Daughter of the Confederacy'' in 1886,
when her father made his famous trip
through the south. Mr.. Davis being
unable to appear, Miss Winnie was
brought before the thousands at the
different points along the route, and
introduced as the Daughter of the
Confederacy."

THE EMPERoR's GRATITUDE.
Austrian Ruler Thanks the People
For Their Sympathy.

Vienna, Sept. 1S.-A rescript of the
emperor to Count Won Thunn Hohen-
stein, president of the Austrian council
of ministers, was published today, ex-
pressing in eloquent and pathetic Ian
guage the emperor's thanks for the ex-
pressions of national sympathy with
him in mis- great bereavement. In the
course of the rescript, his majesty says:
THE numbering hand, the instrument
of frenzied fanaticism, aiming at the
destruction of existing social order,
which was raised against the noblest
of women in blind and purpoSeless hate,
struck a. heart which knew not hate
and beat only for good In the unmeas-
ured grief by which I and my house
are stricken, and in the presence Of the
unheard of deed which has sent a shud-
der through the whole civilized world,
the voice of my beloved people first
brings balm to my heart in affecting
unison with the resound of universal
lamentation for our unreasonable loss,
like a faithful echo of all that moves
my own soul. From my deeply sorrow
ing heart, I thank all for this new
pledge of devoted sympathy. If the
festive peals which should have greeted
this wear should remain dumb, there yet
remains to me the memory of innumer-
able proofs of loyalty and deep SYM
pathy, the most precious gift which
could have been bestowed upon me.
Our common grief weaves a new
and intimate bond between the throne
and the fatherland."

Fatal Encounter Between Box Elder
County Farmers.
QUARRELED OVER HOGS
MAN NAMED PETERSON KILLED
BY JED ABBOT.
That Peterson Was Abusive
and Threatened Abbot With 3
Pitchforh-The Latter Secured a
Shotgun, But the Shooting, It Is
Claimed, Was Accidental.
(SpeciaI to The Herald.)

bingham City, Sept 1S.-A most dis
tresing event happened just outside
the city this morning at O'Clock, the
result of which is that Jed Abbot, a
brother of Sheriff Abbot of Davis coun-
ty, and formerly a lieutenant in H
company, First infantry, N. G. u, is
in jail, while his neighbor, a man
named Peterson, lies cold in death.
According to the accounts given, Pc
tersons hogs have been bothering the
Abbot crops for some time and early
this morning Abbot sent his little
brother to drive them away. The lad
performed his task and had returned
home, when Peterson came over and
demanded of Abbot what he meant by
such actions. He was quite abusive,
according to the accounts, and called
Abbot several vile names. He had
pitchfork with him and threatened to
run the same through Jed, who there
upon went into the house and brought
out the shotgun and demanded that
Peterson leave the premises. The lat
ter renewed his abuse, but began to re-
tire, Jed following him, and when a
short distance from where the alterca-
ton first began, Peterson stopped to
pick up a rock. AT the same instant
the gun was discharged, the contents of
the barrel taking effect under the right
arm of Peterson, killing him instantly.
Abbot at once notified the neighbors
of what had been DONE placing the
body in their custody, and then came to
the city and delivered himself to the
sheriff, who went over and viewed the
scene.
1t is claimed in behalf of Abbot that
the shooting was not altogether inten-
tional. Abbot did not have the gun at
his shoulder when the shot was fired
and his friends express the belief that
the weapon was discharged as the re-
suit of an accident
The coroner has empaneled a jury
and an inquest will be held tomorrow
morning.
Abbot is popular in this vicinity and
where he has lived before he came
here. He was by no means a quarrel
som person, but, on the contrary, has
always borne a good reputation for
peace and quiet
Hundreds of people f1ocked to the
scene of the shooting today, and the
excitement ran high. Abbot seems to
be sincerely pitied for the event and
has the sympathy of all who have had
any knowledge of the circumstances
surrounding the event. His friends in
Davis county have been notified and
will no doubt come here on the first
train.

If the necessary ships were here the
island could be evacuated and formal

days.
The American commissioners are
highly gratified with the spirit shown
by the Spaniards. The unexpected has
happened Where it was expected that
opposition and delay would be encoun-
tered, none has been found. In good
faith the Spanish commissioners have
met the Americans and arranged with
them the terms of evacuation Our
commissioners expect to see the Ameri-
can flag hoisted and the Spanish flag
