SHOT HIM FOR INSURANCE.
A Strange story of Love and Alleged
Attempted Murder.

Atlanta, Aug. 25-A sensational case of
love, intrigue aud an alleged attempt at
assassination was unearthed by the po-
lice this afternoon that reads like the pro-
duct of a veteran novelist.
Alexander Mitchell, a sprighty young
lad Of about IS years, is held at the bar
racks as the man who attempted the as
sassination. Mitchell so the story goes Is
in love with Miss May Mcclellan. Miss
Mcclellan is a sister-in-raw of w. A. Al
exander. Some time since some one way
laid and shot Alexander in the back. At
the time the affair was shrouded in mys-
terry
Alexander, 1t is claimed, was heavily
insured, and the plot in this unique story
is said 10 be that Mitchell shot Alexander
in order that the family of his inamorata
might receive the insurance money. 1t is
upon this grave charge that the young
man is now held al the police station and
il looks like it would require more than
fifty of the proverbial Philadelphia law
yers TO unravel the mystery.

Meny Industries VIII Increase Busi-
ness and Population.


Quitman, Ga, Aug 25.-For some time
past Messrs. Oglesby have been at work
in a private way arranging to establish
a large railroad car manufacturing plant
al this place. They have secured by
purchase a tract of land lying on both
sides of the South Georgia Railroad, about
200 acres in extent and inside the incor-
porate limits of the town. They have a
large saw mill at Heart Pine on :he
Georgia Southern and Florida Railroad,
from where the South Georgia Railroad
leads off to this place
Messrs. Oglesby have for several years
been furnishing car timber to large man.
Ufacturers I'm Pennsylvania and Illinois,
who find that cars can he manufactured
here at a saving of about one-third Of
what they cost to transport the lumber
and build them at their present locations
While the Og.esbys are men of very con-
siderable means, they will not lack for all
the additional money they may need.
Aside from this, they are two of the best
business men In Southern Georgia They
will employ not less than 500 men in their
car works, which, according to the usual
reckoning of five persons on an average
to the man, will give an additional popu-
lattOn of $500 persons TO Quitman.
The Atlantic and CUT cotton mill of
10000 spindles will as soon possible be-
gin operations. All of the money. except
$1,000 has been raised here. This mill
viii give employment to not less than $50
persons. The mill will no doubt employ
not less than 800. This viii give QUIT
man an additional population of about
900. There is a probability of a knitting
mill for manufactures underwear being
established here in the very near future
and fair prospect for two, if not three
other extensive industries. There is con-

police and they are looking for him.
If there are any two things Atlanta is

LIVING ARROWS.
Species of Gar That Make Fishing
Dangerous Near the Ara Island.

From Austin's Hawaiian Weekly.
This is a fish story, but it's true, II
the writings of man who signs IF. r.
G. S." after his name count for fact.
We all know the gar" a long, thin gem
tleman like an elongated pickerei that
often occupies a stall in our fish mar
kets They rarely attain length of over
twelve inches here, but at Aru, FIJI and
Whereabouts they grow much larger and
the bill armed with sharp teeth, Is
weapon to be dreaded.
The fish bask habitually a the very
surface of the water. and become ex-
tremely excited, and in the larger spec
linens, vicious at the slightest alarm.
The gentleman who describes the in
cident was collecting specimens of shells
along the reef in the Aru Islands. natives

byways. Tossing the useless specimens
and punches of coral overheard again, In
doing this he noticed that almost inva-

dash away at headlong speed. glancing in
and out of the water like a shot. One

De determined the native lifted up the
peculiar fiat basket that he carried and
held IT as q shield, at the same time rails
The idea of using a basket as a shield
seemed a comical one, but was neverthe-
less a good one, as a few moments later
a native, some three hundred yards TO
their left, lifted up, a huge branch Of
coral, and finding nothing in it, hurled
it back again. 1t fell with a loud crash,
and almost instantly four or five gars
darted from the water, rushing away
with incredible speed. Two of the largest
came flying toward the boat, clearing
three or four feet at a bound, striking
the water and glancing out again, and the
native had barely time TO utter a warn
ing cry, when one of them passed directly
over where his head had been a moment
before. The other came full at the native.
For second it was under the water, then

like a meteor
The quick eye OF the native, however
had followed it. and stepping back, he
raised the thick basket shield and receiv.

was so heavy that for the instant the
man staggered and was nearly thrown
