SHOT HIS GUEST.
Who Was So Imp-Etunate About His Supper That His Host Acted
 in Self Defense

A man named Harry Cox was taken to the county hospital this morning minus q large portion of his face. The latter was lost by coming in contac : with the contents of a shotgun in French gulch yesterday. The man at the other end of the gun twas said to be Thomas Griffin. The story told the Journal-MineE of the affair was that Cox had been at Walnut Grove during the day, and through the effects of numerous appetizers taken there had developed big appetite. He, with two others, visited Griffin's cabin in the evening and ordered Griffin to prepare a supper for them. This the obliging occupant of the cabin pro- ceeded to do His movements, how ever, Were ncr rapid enough to suit Cox, and it is said the latter became very abusive in ordering Griffin to hurry the meal.

 A man named Smyres who brought Cox to the hospital and who was his companion 1t the time of the shooting, tells a slightly different story.

The en- tire party had gone to bed and Griffin arose about midnight CT 1 o'clock in the mcrning to get something to. eat. Cox said he was also hungry and arose to get something to e3t too. MT.

THE BLACK WARRIOR.
Perhaps the Largest Copper Deposit in
 the World

James A. Fleming, president of the Black Warrior Copper company, has contracted with the Colorado Iron works, at Denver to furnish all the machinery for teaching plant of 200 tons of ore capacity per day. The ma chinery will weigh all told about 100 tons, says the Silver Belt.
 It consists partly of a 100 horse pow CT Corlis engine, two fifty horse power marine boilers, one large Blake crush CT, two sets of rolls that weigh 16,0O0 pounds each, 2n air compressor, s7Verll lead lined steel tanks and eighteen tons of twelve-pOund T rails. All this machinery is to be shipped in forty days from February 15.
 The teaching plant is designed throughout by MT. Fleming and is un- like anything ncIw in use. The whole process is automatic and managed when in operation with four men for 200 tons per day Mir. Fleming has ap- piled for patent on his process.
 On the Montgomery claim, one of the claims owned by the Black War rior company, they have a depth of tbirty-fve feet of ore and have not struck the hanging wall yet. The ore averages abCalt IT per cent copper. This ore ledge at the surface, 300 feet above. is fifty feet wide, out of which 1000 tens have been shipped from the grass roots that averaged oyer 14 per cent.
 MT. Fleming says if this ore holds out ten feet more in width, making fCrty-five feet, he ventures to say that considering the average grade of tI1e ore, that it is the largest body of cop per ore ever found in this territory. if not in the world.

 was drinking in his words and smil- ;ng away, as conceited as cock upon a walk. when, all in q breath, back went his right hand over his shoulder. Some thing sung like an arrow through the air, 1 felt a blow and then a sharp pang, and there 1 was pinned by the shoulder to the mast. In the horrid pain and surprise of the moment-I scarce can say it was by my own voli- ton. and I am sure it was without a conscious aim--both my pistols went off, and both escaped out of my hands. They did not fall alone; with choked cry the cocllswain loosed his grasp upon the shrouds and plunged head first into the water.

CHAPTER XXVII.
p1rCTc OE FIGHT

OF
 Owing to the cant of the vessel the masts hung far out over the water, an'l from my perch on the eross-trees l had nothing below rte but the sur face of the bay. Hands, who was not so far up, was, in consequence, nearer to the ship, and fell between me and the bulwarks. He rose once to the surface in a father of foam and blood and then sunk again for good. As the water settled I could see him lying huddled together on the clean, bright sand in the shadow of the vessels sides. A fish or two whipped past his body. Sometimes, by the quivering Of the water, he appeared to move a little, as if he were trying to rise. But he was dead enough, for all that, being both shot and drowned, and was food for fish in the very place where he had designed my slaughter.
 l was no sooner certain of this than I began to feel sick, faint and terri fled. The hot blood was running over my back and chest. The diriI, where it had pinned my shoulder to the mast, seemed to burn like a hot iron; yet it was not so much these real suffer- inGts that distressed me- for these, it seemed to me, I could bear without a murmur; it was the horror had upon my mind of falling from the cross trees into that still green water, beside the body of the cccl1swain.

THE new TEMPLE
The Great Masonic Day in
Boston.
GREAT CELEBRATION
OF Formation of the Grand
Chapter Of Massaehu>
sets.

Boston, Oct. 24.-This Is red let.
ter day for the Royal Area Masons OF
Boston, for today the grand chapter
of Massachusetts celebrates it's centen.
nial anniversary. TO the public in
general it will be an occasion of great
interest, in 50 much as it will be the
first notable gathering in the splendid
new Masonic temple.
The exact date upon which the
grand chapter of Massachusetts
received it's charter from The general
grand chapter of the United States
was March l3, 1898, and it was at first
intended to observe the centennial
anniversary on it's legitimate recur-
renee year ago last Marcl>4 Owing,
however, to the illness of the presid-
ing officer the celebration was post
poned for time and eventually it was
decided not to hold it unit. the new
temple should be completed.
This is however, a memorable date
in the history of the grand chapter,
as it is the anniversary O. the first
meeting held in this or any other state
to discuss the formation of a grand
chapter. The meeting occurred in
the old Green Dragon tavern. 1t was
composed of delegates from three
chapters, st. Andrews chapter of Bos-
ton, King Cyrus chapter of Newbury-
port, and Temple chapter of Albany,
New York.
These delegates met for the purpose
of organizing grand chapter, but
what they really accomplished was
the organization of the general grand
chapter of the United States. This
holy subsequently issued r'Irttrs to
the various grand chapters, that of
Massachusetts, as above stated, being
issued in the following March.
The centennial of the general grand
chapter was appropriately observed
two years ago in Baltimore, and was
one of the most memorable Masonic
events that has ever taken place in
this country. The centennial of the
Massachusetts Grand chapter is scarce
ly less notable. Distinguished Royal
Arch MaSOnS from all over the United
States will be present. The guest of
honor will be Judge Lennon of Ohio,
who is the general grand high priest
of the United States. a medal will
be struck for the occasion.

]. M. BATCHELDER DEAD.
Was One of Plainfeld's Most Success
full Business Men.

Plaintield, Oct. 24.-J. M. Batchel-
der, one of the oldest and most esteem
ed residents of the place, died at his
home at 7o'clock a. m. Oct. 23 after
an illness of about a week with pneu-
mOnia.
Mr.. Batchelder has lived all his life
in the town where he died. He had
always been in the lumber business
and was successful business man.
With his son he also conducted the
grist mill in the village and at one
time ran a store in connection with
his other business. He was one of
the prominent men of the place and
had the highest respect and regard of
all who knew him.
He held number of town offices
and represented the the place in the
legislature number of years ago,
when he made an excellent record.
He was man of strict integrity,
thoughtful of Others, and ever ready
to assist those who deserved and were
in need of charity.
He married Amanda Lawrence,
who survives him, and also leaves one
son, Arch, who was associated with
him in his later business ventures.
He was about 10 years of age at the
time of his death.
He was born in Plainfield in April
1929. He was one of the first in this
section to supply village with water
having put in system of aqueducts
in Plainteld in 1856, which has been
great convenience to the village,
and profitable to himself.
For many years he was engaged ex-
tensively in the manufacture of chair
stock, which was a help to the busi-
ness of the place.
He was one of the most atfable Of
men, and his integrity was unques-
toned.
The funeral will be on Wednesday
at 2 p. m.--Argus.

London, Oct. 24.-Canada s propOs-

from her former demand that was de-
livered to Choate by the Canadian
minister of marine and fishing and
despatched to Washington.
1t agrees that the boundary line be
arbitrated by Il similar tribunal to the

dent to arbitration, that the Skaguay
