DISTRESSING TRAGEDY.

On Thursday morning about s
o'clock Mr.. Robert l.. Ransom
met death in a shocking manner
at his Office in the Delta Grocery
Company's store. Mr.. Ransom
and his brothers, Messrs. X. P.
and t. r. Ransom, had Just come
down as usual to business. Mr..
Robert Ransom entered a private
apartment in the building, and a
moment after pistol shot rang
out. Messrs. Richard .ica9!rs and Tom
tE.~lsom ran to the room and found
their brother with a pistol wound
in the head, from which he died
almost Immediately. Whether
the shot was fired by accident or
design it is impossible to say, but
opinion inclines generally to the
latter theory, as Mr.. Ransom had
recently suffered acutely from a
tumor or abscess in the head, and,
it is said had actually threatened
to take his life. During the par
oxysms of suffering ho was scarce
ly responsible, and it is presumed
that at one of these times he end
ed his agony with his own hand
Mr.. Ransom was a young man
and unmarried, in robust health
except for the trouble mentioned,
and no other cause can be assign
ed Tor so desperate an action.
The remains were conveyed to
his old home, Murfreesboro, Ten
nessee, where they will be inter-
red.

louder than any words of the welcome
which was felt in their hearts. When
the shouting and cheers and tigers

and when the applause had subsidized
again the President spoke as follows:
My fellow citizens:
II very much appreciate and value
the great receptions which have been
accorded to me and my companions as
we have passed OF our journey through
our beloved country. I never met a
great concourse of people as is here
assembled, representative of American
life and character, the veterans of the

Spanish American war carrying the
flags of the country and all expressing
the same love for that flag, but I
feel that the institutions so wisely
founded by our forefathers are forever

and a great surging, pressing mass of
humanity gathered at the station to
pay the honor due to the nations chief
executive. The reception of the Pres

of music, no marching bodies of men.
