Edward Robinson, colored, was buried
beneath the stone of falling wall in a
well in Clarke county, not far from the
Jefferson line, last Thursday. The fol-
lowing day rope hanging down the
we'll was cut, and was afterwards drawn
down through the rocks, giving evidence
that Robinson was still alive, and it is
thought he had gained some protection
by side cavity known to exist near the
bottom. Aid could not be given him,
however, although we understand Hon
Marshall Mccormick, of Berryville, of

rescue, and there is no doubt the poor
fellow has since suffered a horrible death.

"A DINING ROOM BRAWL IN THE KiMBAll
HOUSE.
Judge Berry Badly BelabOrs Editor Stein Tor
an 0ffiEsiye Article in his Looking
Glass Paper.

Atlanta, Ga. March 1.-THE dining
room of the Kimball Hotel was the
scene tonight of sensational encoun-
ted between Judge John Berry, of the
CITY Court of Atlanta, and Orth Stein,
the well known newspaper man and at
present editor Of the Looking Glass. a
weekly publication. The dining room
was we'll filled and the affair created the
greatest excitement, many ladies anu
gentlemen, on seeing the blood-besmear-
ed face of one of the combatants and Il
pistol flashing in the hands of the other,
becoming panic-Stricken.
Botn Judge Berry and Mr.. Stein board
at the Kimball and were at dinner nj
the same hour tonight. According to
Stein, Judge Berry walked up ito him un-
known and without a word struck him
across the forehead with a bottle of cat
sup, cutting an ugly cash, and knocking
Stein out of his chair 10 the floor. Berry
then. Stein says, kicked him several
times in the face, making bad wounds.
Stein drew his revolver, but in getting
il out of his pocket he unloosened the
br2ech Berry then seized the revolver
and pummeled Stein with it until he was
nearly unconscious and his face covered
with blood. The walters and some of
the guests who had by this time mus
tered up courage enough to approach
the two men, separated them and re-
moved them from the dining room.
Judge Berryis side of the affair diff
felgs somewhat from the statement made
by Stein. The judge says he walked
mp TO Stein and spoke to him, saying,
How do you do" Stein did not reply
and Berry then struck him. The re-
volyer, Judge Berry says, was drawn in
tact from STEMS pocket and in order to
prevent him using it he Berry un-
breeched it. Berry was arrested and
MS case will be heard tomorrow morn
ing.
The direct cause of tO-day's attack
was an article in the last issue of Stein :
paper, but the real trouble dates back
some months, and has bearing on the
support given Mr. STEMS paper.

So far as the other charges so the Re

pass as they have been fully met to their
entire satisfaction.
1t is said tonight that it is the little
Sharp interview given out by Judge

that he will come out all right. Senate
rial dignity is very sacred.

of having an order issued establishing
