Last Thursday evening about an
hour after dark messenger arrived
in town with the information that An
drew Jackson Burns, a farmer who
lives about eight miles south of town
near the Crane Pond road had been
found dead on the public highway
about dusk that evening. The discov-
cry was made by two little daughters
of the deceased, who were walking
along the road to meet their father,
who had come to town that day with
load of hub logs. They were first
startled by finding the team, mule
and horse, standing by the the side of
the road, but their father was no where
IN sight. The children then bur
ried along the road and after travel
ing possibly a hundred yards found the
llfeless body of their father; the face
was covered with blood that flowed
from a terrible wound in the forehead
The body was still warm. The neigh
bors were apprised and the remains
were carried to the late home of the
deceased. The following morning cor
oner Farrar went down and held an in
quest. An examination revealed a
crushing wound in the forehead, occa-
stoned, so the jury concluded, by a
terrible kick from the mule; the theory
being that Burns had leaned forward
from where he was sitting on the front
Of the wagon 70 arrange or straighten
the harness, and while in this position
the mule kicked him, throwing him
the back of his head and
neck striking some iron bolts, which
alone inflicted q wound sufficient to &C.
casiOn death. AS stated Burns had
been to town with a load of logs, aud
a number of witnesses testified to hav
ing met him on the road home. The
accident probably occurred half hour
DR. more before the finding of the body. |
The verdict of the jury was in accord
ance with the facts as above stated. |
After the coroner had departed. how |
ever, and while some of the neighbors |
were preparing the body for burial |
they discovered the wounds in the back |
Of the head. They concluded they had |
been occasiOned by gunshot and came |
10 town insisting the coroner return |
and hold an autopsy. That official did /
not deem a post-mortem necessary and |
gave his and the jury's theory as to the |
cause of the wounds in the back of the
head. The neighbors did not agree to !
his theory, however, but as the coro-
her insisted that he had made a COM
Dlete examination and there was abso
utely no occasion for an autopsy, the |
'emains were inferred the following
lay. Burns was a man about fifty |
years old, and came to this country
rom Illinois about two years ago. A
wife and large family of children in
Door circumstances are deprived of a
husband and father by his untimely
leath.

A CANNON THAI is NoIsELEss.
Colorado Man, Stirred by Patriotism,
Sets New Pace for Inventors.

Colorado Man, Stirred by Patriotism,
Sets New Pace for Inventors.
From the Denver Republican.
The loosing of the dogs of war has fur
nished a new field for the inventive genius,
and Colorado although far removed from
the sea board and probable field of action,
is not going to be overlooked in the rush.
There are no navy yards, no dry docks,
no battleships in Colorado to furnish in
spiration in the invention of naval appa-
ratus, but there are duck ponds and feed
Ing grounds for wild geese and in this
matter, as in all others, love will find
way" Robert SCHNEIDER of Independence,
Col, having seen the necessity for a noise
less firearm while hunting geese and being
duly inspired with patriotism, as should
be expected of one living in a town with
such a patriotic name has taken out a
caveat and is now perfecting his patent
for a noiseless cannon, one that would
break more gently to the willy Spaniard
the fact that the American navy was pun
melting the life out of his navy.
The SCHNEIDER cannon is a double bar
releO dlalF, the llTSI DdII6l DSiAiS Aot jam
ming out the shot and the second for jam
ming In the air so that the war dogs of
Uncle Sam will be quiet, hard working
beasts able to do a whole lot of biting
without emitting single bark.
To accomplish this end the SCHNEIDER
noiseless cannot has trap door somewhere
on its insides and by the mechanism of the
extra barrel this trap is made to fit into
the steel of the business barrel as snug
IL hn
cannon is fired and its missile of destruc-
ton sent out to do it's duty In passing
out of the barrel the shot touches a trig-
ger that releases the trap and allows 1t
to cork up the business barrel of the gun
in such way that the thrush of air which
makes the bang will be thwarted and there
will be no bark. BY the same action a
valve into the second barrel Is opened and
the gas IS allowed to escape through it.
SCHNEIDER has written Congressman Bell
all about the cannon, and wants him to
get bill through Congress making an
appropriation for building a test gun after
mis- model He is confident that it will
work because he made a wooden cannon
with a spring to throw out a ramrod
and it went off several times without a
single pop after he attached to it his noise
less mechanism, while before that the
bang came out where the bullet went
in" just like it ought to in any well-regu-
lated popgun.
The inventor of the SCHNEIDER noiseless
cannon is but "a year old. The idea of
the invention, as has been minated, came
10 him one day While out goose hunting.
He discerned that the report of his gun
frightened away the geese, and began to
study the problem. Having decided that
if he had a gun and did not "shoo" every
time he shot he could bag lot more geese,
he set about to overcome the defect of the
gun. AS the occasion has ever in the
history of civilization brought forth the
man TO meet ii. so The danger of a war
between the United States and Spain has
brought forth Robert SCHNEIDER.

GOVERNORS DAY AT ALBANY.
SIXTEEN COMPANIES IN THE MILL
TARY PARADE.

The city Thronged With Visitors
From Every section of south Gcor-
gia-The Military Companies Es-
cort the Governor TO the new
Chautauqun AuditOrium-Iiundr
present to Hear the Governors Adj
dress on Patriotism.
Albany. Ca. March 29.-This has been
notable day in the history of Albany. The
city has been thronged with visitors from
all Southern Georgia.
In the calendar of the Georgia Chautau-
qua this was military and Governors day
of the tenth annual assembly, and IN the
history of the chautauqua movement 1t
has been a red-letter occasion.
Al 10 O'Clock this morning sixteen com
panies of Georgias volunteer troops form
ed on Broad street. under the command OF
Col. James o. Varnadoe of the Fourth
Regiment, for the purpose of acting as es-
cort to the Governor.
The following companies were in line:
Columbus Guards, Brown Fencibles of Co.
lumbus, Americas Light Infantry, Albany
Guards, two companies Dawson GUARDS,
Fort Gaines Guards, Cuthbert Rifles,
Brunswick Rifles, Valdosta V,dettes, Way
cross Rifles, Thomasville Guards, two
companies of cadets from Gordon Insti-
tute at GAINESVILLE. two companies from
Bethel College at Cuthbert
There were 500 men in line. The parade
escorted the Governor from the residence
of Col Ed L. Wight to the new Chautau-
qua auditorium on Pine street and his adj
dress was listened to by large audience.
Hundreds of persons who had heard the
Governor speak on many occasions pro-
nounced his effort this morning the great
est of his life. 1t was certainly a mag
nificent address. Though he spoke for
scarce half an hour he worked his audi
ence up to a pitch of enthusiasm sucn as
has seldom been seen in a Chautauqua
auditorium. Patriotism was his theme,
and he did not dwell on any other. He
had drawn inspiration, it seemed, from the
parade that had just followed him, and his
voice had a ring of fervent earnestness
that was irresistible. He spoke feelingly
of the country's position in the threatened
rupture with Spain, and his peroration
fairly raised the audience to its feet with
swinging handkerchiefs. and thunderous
applause.
Dress parade this afternoon on Broad
street was witnessed by several thousand
persons, and was perhaps the most i'm
posing array ever seen in this part of the
state.
State Inspector General of Rife Practice
George T. Cam of Savannah delivered a
stirring address to the nine companies. of
the Fourth Regiment this afternoon imme-
diately after the parade on the subject of
rife practice. Not an incident occurred
to mar the perfect pleasure of the day.
