Brown.
nv means of a boat the murderer made
his escape and is still at large, having
ended the officers. who spent some hours
Yesterday in an effort TO overtake him in
tbe south channel of the Savannah river.
From accounts given by Coroner Goette
The killing was a cowardly one. The scene
of the killing was a surprise party
given by lot of negroes at a house a
short distance from Thunderbolt, and
which was attended by both the murderer
and his victim. Coming together at Thun-
derbolt before the time for the grand on
saught at the unsuspecting negro's home,
Washington and Brown got into dis
pute and did not stop until interfered with
BY men standing near by. A bitter feeling
was caused by the few harsh words they
exchanged, and their being separated be-
fore settling the differences only served
10 aggravate their troubles.
got a pistol, while Washington proceeded
10 the party. The latter is thought to
have concluded the figth was ended, be-
cause he mingled with the other negroes
and gave no thought to his assailant The
doors and windows of the house were
opened so that any one on the outside
could easily approach unnoticed. Taking
advantage of this, Brown surreptitious-
" crept up with pistol in hand and watch
ed for a chance to shoot down the negro
against whom he had a bitter spite. The
opportunity soon came when Washington
started 10 go from one room TO another,
and which necessitated his passing
through a smaller room, over which the
negro outside was keeping close watch.
As Washington went through this room
Brown made quick work and firing eau
tously, sent bullet through his victim s
breast.
Thank God I got the rascalr' cried
Brown as Washington fell dead on the
floor The surprise party then became a
thing of reality and the negroes dispersed
Without further ceremony. The news was
conveyed TO Marshal Lentz of Thunderbolt
who got information as to the course taken
by Brown and started in pursuit. Before
going far. however, he realized he could
accomplish nothing without help and re-
turned to the Savannah Yacht Club house
about 2 o'clock, at which time he inform
ed the coroner.
Coroner Goette went out yesterday and
with Marshal Lentz, the two started in a
naptha launch in pursuit of the murderer
The officers sped along a a lively rate
oyerhauling all craft along the way and
making a close surveillance of the shore
for their man. The fleeing negro however
is supposed to have gone by the south
channel and then turned into Lazaretta
creek. There was little chance to catch hin

From the Boston Transcript
Perhaps the best-known beard in the
United States is that Of ex-senator PETER
of Kansas, which was said to measure
three feet long, but there are many which
exceed that in size. The museums fire.
quently contain men five feet and over
whose boards sweep the floor when they
stand up. but perhaps the longest of all is
that of Legrand Larow and Lamar, Mo-,
which is said to exceed any other In the
world. 1t is seven feet In length, and has
measured seven and one-half feet. Mr..
Larow was born in Tompkins county, New
York, in 1882, and his relatives are noted
for heavy boards, but not extraordinary
length. He is six feet in hight and weighs
IT'S pounds. When standing with his beard
down 1t extends two feet upon the floor.
He has not shaved for over twenty years.
In the year 1877 Mr.. Larow came West,
and was a farmer and stock raiser for
many years. He wears his beard braided
and wound around his body or else wrap
sped and lodged inside his vest.

AFTER PART OF ST. GATHERINGS.
Suit of the United States Against ia
cob Rauers to Come Up To-day.

Suit of the United States Against ia
cob Rauers to Come Up To-day.
One of the most interesting cases on the
docket of the United States Court is as
signed for trial before Judge Emory Speer
this morning. 1t is the proceedings of the
United States against Jacob Rauers in
which the government seeks TO condemn
Rauers' domain known as st. GATHERINGS
Island, and to the reIinquishing of which
MIR. Rauers makes most strenuous objec-
ton.
The hearing will come up on what is
known as a plan of res judicata, a claim,
in other words that the suit has been dis
posed Of The suit came up before Judge
Speer on two occasions and was dismissed,
and the claim of the defendant is that
that action ends it.
The lighthouse board having decided that
the northern end of St GATHERINGS Island
is the most advantageous site for the
lighthouse to be established in that To-
cality, it seems to be the intention to press
it to the last degree, and to secure, if pos
sible, a portion of that island. The United
States is represented in the case by the
district attorney, Mr. Marion Erwin, while
the defendant is represented by Messrs.
w. w. Gordon and Denmark, Adams &
Freeman.
Other cases assigned for trial in the
United States Court to-day are those OF
the Darien and Sapelo Towboat Company
against the steamer Regulus, which is
claim in admiralty, and the suit of Thomas
Watson against Donovan & Perkins.
The session of the United States Court
Yesterday was a short one. There was an
admiralty suit assigned for trial, that Oh
Edward Willnk against the bark Carita
i. 1t was found, however that the suit
had been settled out of court, and 1t was
dismissed on that account as settled.
