AN UNPRoVoKED KILLING.

The Hon. Alfred Harrington Of SWANS
boro, who reached Savannah last night
says that a nephew of his, Manning Her
rington. was shot and killed Saturday
night at Gertman, Emanuel county, by a
man named Berry Hail.
The act, he says, was without provoca-
ton or excuse. The victim. together with
number of young people, had spent the
evening at the home OF Hall. The host
had been drinking heavily during the
course of the evening, and about II
o'clock when the party broke up and the
guests were about 10 start for their
homes. Hall was quite drunk. and used
very Objectionable language IL the pres
ence Of some of the ladies'. Young Her
rIngton, who was just about to get in his
buggy, spoke to Han about his breach of
politeness. and asked him to desist. This
remonstTance. it seems so angered him
that he told Harrington that he intended
10 shoot him, and Immediately put his
threat into execution by firing at him
three times with a revolver. One ball
struck the man in the right temple and
caused almost instant death.
Hall, after the commission OF the act
took Winchester rife. and getting
astride mule, left his home. going in
the direction of the Ohoopee river. At last
accounts he had not been arrested He is
bout 10 vars old, is feet inches high

THE INDUSTRIAL ASSOCIATION.
Meeting VIII BE Called ms Soon as
Members Return TO CITY

There having been some inquiry recent
~ as to the intentions of the Savannah
Industrial Association, it is stated on au-
thority that, owing to the absence from
the city Of many members of the Indus
trial Committee the association will not
be called together until later in the year
when fun attendance of the members
can be assured.
The president, Col. ]. H Estill, has re-
ceivei reports from all the canvassing
committees, or at least, all of those which
have dore anything. The reports show
the total amount of subscriptions to be
something over $500 BY the conditions
under which the subscriptions were made
no assessments can be collecte until the
amount subscribed has reached $50. 600.
This being the case, the hands of the
Committee are tied al present. An effort
may be made this ia TO get the SUBJ
scribers TO consent to a change so that
work may be begun if desired with a
lesser amount subscribed.
The indications are that the industrial
movement will take on new life when
the members of the association return
from their summer vacations. Many of
the members Of the committee are just
a enthusiastic as ever and just as much
determined to push the work.
