MURDERS ON CHRISTMAS.

Henry Perry, q well-known citizen
of Atlanta, was shot and almost in
stantly killed yesterday in house Oh
Madison street by John A. Milan. The
men had desperate fight for o revol-
yer, which Milan finally secured.
Florence Livingston, who lived in the
place, eudeavored to separate the men,
but failed. Sne af erwasds told the
authorities that she did the killing, and
presented a pistol as the weapon used,
but all the chambers were filled. A
pssser-by caught Perry as be fell, and
heard him say be had been killed by
Milan. Mike Day, II years Old, q
cripple, shot and instantly killed Frank
Foury 10 the same city yesterday
Day says he discharged the weapon
witnoua looking. Harry Fleury,
brother OF ;he dead hoy, says Day
pointed the pistol directly at the child.
Levi Paterson shot and killed Tom
Foster, who was intoxicated and trying
to pick 8 quarrel Special Officer A. j.
Lavender, of the Fulton Bag and Cot
tou Mills, was shot and perhaps fatally
wounded by Jesse Owen, an employee
of the cotton mills. Ovens relatives
were celebrating Christmas rather hi
lariously, and Lavender went to ARE St
Owen, who fired on him. The police
in the past forty-eight hours have ar
rested nearly 200 people on different
charges, which is believed to break the
record in Atlanta. The saloons were
closed as usual at 10 o'clock Saturday
| night, and were not opened Christmas,
by special order OF Mayor Collier.
Nearly every person taken by the po-
lice had hottie on his person, and as a
result the large vault at Central station
is well-filled with varied assortment
of liquors.
The Savannah police records since
Saturday night have gone to nearly 160
cases, including two murders. The
majority of arrests we're for drunken
ness, fighting and the usual disorder
attendant upon the occasion. Charles
Low and Charles Green quarreled over
two women, the latter taking part in
the engagement. Low fatally stabbed
Green in the abdomen. He died soon
after. Queen Martin, in a drunken
quarrel, stabbed her paramount, Joe
Hayward. to the heart, killing him in
stantly. Paul Canady assaulted Mayor
R. W. Olive, of Pembroke, Bryan coun-
ty, and was seriously beaten. Both
men are armed, and street duel is
expected. Besides beating Cauady Sc
verely with the butt end of his pistol,
Mayor Olive almost bit of his thumb.

came of here yesterday, was held in ,

volvers and looking for trouble. There
were several collisions in the audience
and blows were exchanged. After sew
eral rounds both principals were too ex-
hausted by the fencing TO continue. At
the close general melee was narrowly
averted. The duel will be resumed to-
night with new swords.

TUESDAY EVENING. DEC. 27. 1898

ACCORDING TO the newspapers the
Christmas holiday was more generally
observed yesterday than ever before IN
this country. 1t always was the cher
holiday of the year in the South, ana.
owing probably to the spread OF ca
tholicism, it seems to have become SO
in the North and West also. Ii is we'll
that it should be, for, whether 1t be
really so or not, there ought to be oil
least one season in which good will
should prevail among men and 10
which the sorrows of life, if possible
should be temporarily dispelled by Its
prevailing joys. To many, however
memory is too iDdelibly inscribed upon
the tablets Of the heart to be obscureo
even by the festivities OF Christmas
Their lot is most unhappy; but those
among them who are wise Will take
consolation from the fact that,
"But after all is done and said,
In the end this shall you tind,
He most of sil doth battle IN bliss
That hath quiet mind.

Trouble with the Transvaal.

LONDON, Dec. 27.--Frequent cable
grams from Cape Town indicate that
the trouble between the local authori-
ties and English residents in the Trans
vaal is not yet settled. The trouble
arose over the shooting of an English
man named Edgar by Boer policeman.
Military men here are convinced that
the Edgar incident will give England
an opportunity to square accounts with
President Kruger, for incidents arising
out of the Jameson raid. In support of
this, these men point to the gradual re-
Inducements OF troops made by Eng
land at Cape Town recently. The coz
sensus of opinion is that conditions in
the Transvasl have become intolerable
and caunot last.

From Havana.

HAVANA, Dec. 27.-The city is gay
to-day with an unusual display CT bunt
ing. The United States and the
Cuban flags are flying everywhere.
Fireworks are being exploded and
Cubans generally are celebrating. Gen
eral Brooke, military governor of Cuba,
arrived to-day.
The morning papers contained no.
tice from General Castellanos that the
American and Cuban flags could now
be displayed Inside the lines OF Spanish
Jurisdiction. Government buildings
were excepted. In remarkably bri~..
period the good news spread, and the
American and Cuba1 colors appeared
almost simultaneously in all parts OF
the CITY.
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1898-12-27
That hath a quiet mind"

INTELLIGENCE from Havana is to the
effect that General Fitzhugh Lee 10
tends to allow the insurgent negroes
and scalawags of Cuba to take prom
inent part in the celebration OF the
evacuation of that island by the Span
iards. This can hardly be true, as
General Lee has already reprimanded,
or is reported to have done so, Major
Russell Harrison, for raising flag III
his district prior to the prescribed time.
Then, too, the General has been ~
Cuba long enough to understand thor
oughly the character OF the insurgents
there; but, if otherwise, what they have
done in Santiago, and what they are
now doing in Havana, should teach him
that the less recognition ne affords
them, or the less he has to do with
them, the better, not only for himselt
and his own country, but for all the
people in Cuba, including the insur
gents themselves.
