SHOOTING ScRAPE.
G. T. Johnson Shoots chas. OgIesby
Near Lake Butler.

Near Lake Butler.
The Bulletin of June z3d furnish
es the following account of a
shooting ARRAY, which occurred
near Lake Butler Thursday, June
2ISt:
Thursday at noon a shooting af-
fray occurred in one of the shan
ties at Richards mill which may
prove fatal to Charley Oglesby,
young man well and favorably
known here. 1t seems that Mr..
Oglesby, E. ]. Adams and Chas
T. Johnson were in the shanty
during the noon hour, the latter
very much intoxicated. Johnson
fiourished a pistol around and
iOgIesby expostulated with him,
saying he did not like such acts,
even when done in fun, as acct
dents might occur "You don't
like it. Ell! Well take that" re-
turned Johnson, at the same time
grasping Oglesby by the collar
and shooting him in the right
breast. The wounded man rec ed,
and was released from the grasp
of his assailant, who free again,
the. bullet lodging in OgleSby's
back One more bullet missed its
mark, and two cartridges failed to
explode. Johnson then ran out of
the shanty and hid near by in the
woods. The alarm was at once
given. DIR. Seeber King was sent
for and the wounds dressed, and a
posse led by Deputy Sheriff BOWL
ing and City Marshal Odom, start
ed out in quest of Johnson.
When they, together with Mr..
| Langford, neared the mill, they
discovered the man they wanted
approaching a couple of Saddled
mules hitChed near by, and took
him into custody. They are Of
the opinion that he intended to
take one or both of the animals
and make his escape, but was
thwarted by their timely arrival
upon the scene. Had he succeed
ed in getting one of the mules
the chase would have been a live
ly one, for the animal is a very
fast traveller
J It's said that Johnson expected
to marry a young lady in this
county next Sunday,
Oglesby's wounds are danger
bus, especially the one in his back
but he has a strong constitution
and he may pull through. AS we
go to press we learn that he is
some tetter. He was conveyed tC
his fathers home, three miles from
town, Thursday evening.
Both men were employed by J
! R. Adams as teamSterS, and were
considered good friends. yet it wa:
noticeable that johnson was en-
vious of Oglesby because the lat
ter was superior workman.
Johnson came here from South
Carolina about four months ago
and consequently is not very wei
known here
The prisoner waived a prelimi
nary examination yesterday, anC
was remanded to Jail to await the
action of the grand jury.

still favor primary election for

To say the least of it, the situa-

at rest all doubt and speculation as

zen of June 27th makes the
following reference to the case:
"W. N. MOBILES who pleaded not
guilty to assault with intent to
murder, but guilty to assault and
battery, was fined $3.50 and costs,
or in Default to be confined in the
county Jail for six months. His
friend, +. L. Prescott, pleaded
guilty to carrying concealed weap-
ons, and was fined 500 and costs,
and in addition to serve a sentence
of sixty days in the county Jail.
Judge Doggett gave short lecture
on the habit of carrying concealed
weapons, and said that in white or
colored cases he should be severe
with every offender.
both Mobiles and Prescott came
1here in May from Bradford county
on an excursion and hired a hack.
On getting out they refused to pay
the driver, Harry Williams, and
Mobiles drew knife on him while
Prescott was getting ready to draw

KEMPFF HAS AUTHORITY

To Seize the Forts or to Fight for
American Protection.
WASHINGTON, D. C., June 1S.-The
instructions sent to Admiral Kempff,
relative to his participation in the seiz-
ure of the Taku forts, were broad, con-
sistIng of a direction to protect all
American interests and TO that end to
act concurrcntly with the representa-
tlves of the other powers,
II is explained that in the opinion OF
the authorities this order conferred up
on Admiral KempN ample power to
seize forts, to fight or to do anything in
fact, on the sole condition, that in his
Judgment, his acts should tend to the
protection of American interests.
Owing to the eccentric action of the
telegraph wires and cables which in
terfere with Admiral Kempfr communi-
eating with the navy department and
also with his superior officer Admiral
Remey at Manila. the navy department
may give Admiral Kempff Independent
command in the interests of quick dis
patch of business.

vessels and surrendered to tho allied
forces on the morning OF the 18th. The
department has instructed Admiral
Hempff to concur with theother powers
in taking all steps necessary to protect
all American interests.
"a dispatch from TaussiE, dated Che
Foo, 18th, says that the Taltu forts fred
on foreign gun vessels at 12:45 in the
morning, and reports that the British
admiral IS at Tlen Tsin."
Secret Plans Exposed.
The press dispatches from Manila last
night saying that the Ninth infantry
had been ordered to Manila for service
in China, exposed the secret plans of the
war department to dispatch troops to
the scene of trouble in China,
Secret orders were sent to General
Macarthur few days ago to prepare
for the prompt dispatch OF troops to
Taku, but It was not intended that tho
matter should become public until the
movement was at least under way.
Now that the matter has leaked from
the Manila officials of the war depart
ment. the administration has concluded
to send troops to China for the protec-
tion of lives and property of American
citizens.
Typhoon Prevents Ninth From Sail
The following cable message from
General Macarthur bearing on this sub
ject was made public at the war depart
ment this morning:
Ninth infantry. Col. Llscula, ordered
to Taku on Logan transportation port
Albert; probably start Gath; h;typhoon de-
lays movement"
The voyage from Manila to Talsu will
occupy at least week, so that under
the most favorable circumstances, 1t
appears that these troops will hardly
reach the Chinese port before July 1.
The Ninth infantry has rendered excel
lent service against the Filipino insur.
gents and taken part in many import
ant and decisive engagements.

OFFICIALS PUZZLED

By Taussig's Statement That the
British Admiral is at Tien Tsin.
Not in a State of War With China.
WASHINGTON, June 1s.-The state
department this morning received a ca
blegram from United States Consul
Goodnow, at Shanghai. repeating the
news previously conveyed to the navy
department by Admiral Remey and
Commander Tausslg.
The officials here are puzzled by Taus-
sig's statement that the British admiral
has arrived at Tien Tsin. They do not
know that more than one British adml-
raj was in the Pei Ho river and that one
was Admiral Seymour who led the in-
ternational relief column towards Pc
kin. If It is this officer who has return
ed to Tien TsIn, then the assumption is
that the relief column has failed and
has been compelled to retreat to Tien
Tsln. This assumption would explain
the statement brought by the japanese
torpedo boat that the foreign Legations
at Pekn had been taken, for that is the
only manner in which the news could
have reached Tien Tsin.
No Relief for Foreign Ministers.
In this case It is said that nothing can
be done for the relief of the foreign
ministers at PelSIn. supposing that they
are stnallvc,uut verymuch stronger
relief column can be formed and march
ed overland to Pellln. Weeks much
elapse before this can be accomplished.
As the Logan draws too much water
to get above TalSu. the Ninth infantry

point to light draft river craft in order
to get up to Tien Tsin. This regiment
represents all of the army which 1t is
proposed at present to employ. Colonel
Llscum has brcn ordered to report to
the United States consul at TiOn TsiE.
Not in a State of War.
1t is difficult to get n precise official
view or the status OF our relations with
China since this last news The conclu-
sion that we are in state Of war is em-
phatically uesatlved by the officials best
competent to speak. The Chinese min
lister, Mr. WI, was an early visitor to
the state department to-day. He docs
not believe that we are at war with
china. He said that there had evident
ly been great misunderstanding and
was confident thnt II 1t were true that

Turn Out, and the Line Of March
Covered Five Miles Of Streets.
Thousands Out to View the Parade.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. June 1s.-Five
miles of clubs, mounted, on foot, by
coach, flonts and in carriages, inter-
spersed with music, red fire, and cake
walk, is the shortest way of describing
the turn out of the visiting local polite
al clubs in this city tonight.
Thosc who have been complaining for
the past two days of the unusual quiet-
ude here during the meeting of ma
t,onal convention must have reflected
to-pight that they criticised too soon.
Those who have attended previous dem
onstrations, in connection with similar
occasions liken that OF tonight to the
great turnout OF clubs in Chicago that
was reviewed by Blaine and Logan pre-
ceding the election in 1884.
Police Fully Prepared.
The police had prepared for the DEM
onstratIan OF tonight by roplng Broad
street enrly In the afternoon, carrying
out the Washington idea of clearing
Pennsylvania avenue for parade pur-
poses. It was n wise forethought, for
before dusk Phladelpha's prominent
thoroughfnrcs was mass OF humanity
which tuggcd at the cables like an
ocean liner. The entire line OF march
was a crush, but that section of the
street between the city hail and the no.
tel Walton was conspicuously animated.
It was in this section that there was
the greatest and most artistic arrange
ment and display OF electric light,
The south facade OF the city hall was
outlined by strings OF incnndescent
bulbs which looked like Illuminated
beans. Ropes OF similar lights extend
cd from either side OF the building to
the summit OF the lofty DOME termt-
mating at the bnse Of the Penn statue.
Thousands Lined the Streets.
For nm hour before the head of the
column came in view ut the variant
part Of the street Mt the city hall, the
thousands who lined either side of
Broad street, and who occupied every
window from the ground line to the top,
waited good humorcdly. In part. this
was due to their control by the police,
1t hos been rnnny years since the police
Of Philadelphia have been called upon
