GOV. STONES PATRIOTISM.
He Does Not Favor the Name of Gettys-
 burg For Cruiser.

Harrisburg, Pa, April 6.-In a letter which Governor Stone today wrote to W. S. Grenoble, of Gettysburg, declining to sign a petition addressed to the secretary of the navy urging that one of the new cruisers be named the "Gettysburg," the executive said:
 If naming a cruiser Gettysburg would alone honor and distinguish the excellent town of that name, I would not hesitate to join with you in this request; but to the whole country and to the civilized world that name typifies great battle, which set tied a controversy between the north ard south of our country To both sections it recalls great heroic struggle. The victory was with the north the defeat with the south.
 "In the recent war with Spain the north and south were blended as one in defense of our flag. Our battleships and cruisers are manned by sailors and marines from both the north and the south and I do not think it wise that a name should be selected for any of our vessels which will revive the unpleasantness which grew out of the civil war and existed for so many years.
 Let Gettysburg be honored and revered as the site of a great battle, wherein the survivors of the northern army and the survivors of the southern army can alike uphold the valor of their comrades. I am not in favor of giving any vessel in our navy name which will distinguish a bat tie fought by Americans against Ameri- cans"

 First, that it is undue preference for the Central of Georgia Railway company to charge any higher rates on freight from New York or other eastern cities to Daw- son than those which are maintained from the same points of shipment to i1ufaula. Second, that it is undue preference for tie Central of Georgia Railwoy company or of the Georgia and Alabama Railway com nany to charge any higher rates on freigt, from Nashville, Cincinnati and ,hat a. nooga to Dawson than those in effe ect from the same to Albany. Third, that It is un clue preference for the Central of Georgia CT Georgia and Alabama to charge any higher rates of frieght from New Orleans to Amerieus and Albany, Fourth that so long as the southern basng point making system of rate making s adhered to 1t Is UT due preference for the Central of Geor- eia or Georgia and Alabama to charge any higher frieght rates to Dawson thsa those which may be in effect to Americus from any of the points of shipment above men, toned.

MOST MYSTERIOUS
 SHOOTING AFFAIR
Probate Judge Mcclure Receives
 an Ugly Wound.
WHERE IT WAS INFLICTED
And By Whom the Shot Was Fired Cannot Be Ascertained Judge Me- Cure Says He Was Waylaid
 By Assassins.

Florence, April 6.-(Specal)-A most mysterious shooting affair, which occurred nearly week ago. has just been made public in this city
 As a consequence Judge ". B. Mcclure, judge of the probate court of Lauda-dale county has an ugly pistol wound in his face, and is unable to attend to. his duties at the court house. Where and how the wound was inflicted and by whom the shot was fired are mysteries which will proba- bly, never be solved.
 The most generally accepted theory is that the shooting occurred in the eastern portion of the city on Friday night. but it did not become known at all until Tuesday, when rumors began circulating that some- thing of the kind had happened
 Judge Mcclure has given out state ment for publication to the effect that he was waylaid two miles from the city Thursday night last, and that two unknown parties attempted to assassnate him, firing upon him from ambush in the dark while he was driving along the road. Certain it is that the wound is there but the au- thoritieS arc in doubt as to the truth of the report being circulated by McClure's friends. It is claimed that one of the city policemen saw Judge Mcclure after mid night on Friday night in ten pin alley in the city, and if this is true it would have been impossible for him to have made the trip he says he made.
 The affair has created great excitement and in fact has been the principal topic Of discussion on the streets for the past three days. Nothing definite is known, however, and everybody hesitates to give informa- tion about the shooting if there are any who are on tho inside. The police are in- vestigating and it is believed that they have an important clue, and that arrests will follow in a short time
