jury Says That Colonel COlson
Is Not Guilty.
CASE OF SELF-DEFENSE
OUTCOME OF FAMOUS KEN
lucky SHOOTING AFFRAY.
Occurred in the Lobby of a Frankfort
Hotel Last January, and Colson
Killed His Enemy, Lieutenant
Scott, and Two Other Men, By
standers-Cheers in Court.

Frankfort, KY, April 21.-Ex-COn-
gresham David G. Colson, who has
been on trial here for the last four
days for the murder of Lieutenant
Scott and Luther Demaree, was acquit-
ted by the verdict of the jury, which
was returned this evening. The jury
was out only eighteen minutes. The
crowd Of spectators had remained in
the court room, waiting for report
from the jury room. There was a 81
lence as the jury filed into the room.
but there was no demonstration until
Circuit Clerk Ford finished reading the
verdict, which read: I'VE. the jury,
find the defendant not guilty"
AS the last words were read the
crowd arose and sent up q wild cheer.
Colonel Colson, the defendant, was
standing near the witness chair. The
crowd took no notice Of the court Of
ficers, who pounded vigorously, but
piled over the ratings surrounding
Colson, and insisted on shaking hands
with him They gave an ovation to
the Jury and Colonel James Andrew
Scott, Cols0n's chief counsel.
The cheering kept up until Colson
left the room, and as he did so it was
taken up by the Beckham soldiers in
colonel gracefully returned a salute.
Tonight he is receiving dozens Of tele-
grams from all over Kentucky and
from other states. congratulating him
on his acouittai.
Story of the Tragedy.
The tragedy in connection with which
Colson was tried. occurred on Jan. 16.
In a duel with Ethelbert F. Scott, in
the lobby Of tie Capitol hotel, crowded
at that time by people attracted here
from over the state by the political con-
tests. Colson killed his antagonist.
Scott. and L.ther W. Demaree and
Charles Julisr, bystanders, and wound
ed Captain 3. B. Golden, who accom-
panied Scott, and whom Colson's
friends charge with having taken part
in the battle. Both Scott and ColsOn
emptied their pistols, fifteen or twenty
shots being fired in all.
Scott had seven bullets in his body.
Colson was wounded in the arm The
weight Of the evidence was that he re-
ceived this wound early in the fight,
and that Scott fired before Colson arose
from his chair.
Judges Charge Favored Colson-
The prosecution, after the instruc-
tons Of Judge Cantrill, today virtually
abandOned the charge of murder and
endeavored to get a conviction for man
slaughter on the theory that Scott was
killed after he had retreated and in
good faith withdrawn from the fight.
Colonel Colson was tried on the
indictment charging him with the MUIR
der Of Scott. While the Indictment for
killing Demaree has not been disposed
of. it viii be dismissed in view of the
failure of a conviction in any degree
for the killing Of the principal. The
Indictment will be filed away, on mo-
ton of the attorney for the common
wealth Monday.
Colonel Colson is entertaining a party
OF friends tonight. He will leave to-
morrow for his home at Middleboro.

A SMART LAWYERS MISTAKE.
MuIcted HIS Partners I'm n Deal But
They Afterwards Got
Even.

A well-known Maine attorney is especially
noted for his keenness IN looking out for
the best end of every bargain-and for his
ability in getting hold of that end. 1t has
made him unpopular IN some circles-has
that trait of his
On one deal not long ago he was in with
couple Of fTiends-men of wealth and stand
ing, says the Lewiston Me- Journal. Bust
ness was good the first year. There was a
generous division of profits. But the lawyer
wasn't satisfied with what was coming to
him, share and share alike with the Others
After receiving MS proper whack as a part
uer, he exacted $500 more tor council fees"
He said that as a lawyer he was worth that
much more to the deal. This was new way
of looking at the matter, but the bill was re-
signedy allowed by the friends.
They were pretty good business men, IN
derstand. In little while they saw that the
venture wasn't pannlng out very well. So
the shrewd men of affairs quietly unl-aGed
without saying anything to their partner.
Then a little later came the crash.
The lawyer hurried around to hold a conso-
lation meeting with the other two.
Gracious, isn't this too bad, moaned he.
Il lost so-and-sO. How much did you fellows
drop. You must have been hit pretty
hard
You're wrong. old boy" came the cheer

never lost a cent. Ira Ia"

Never lost a dollar! We saw it coming

square and above board, didn't you tell
me-"

FOR WOMAN'S HEALTH
Earnest Letters from Women Re-
heved of Pain by Mrs. Pinkham-

DEAR MRS. PINKHAM - Before /
commenced to take your medicine 1
was in a terrible state. wishing myself
dead a good many times. Every part
of my body seemed to pain in some
way. At time of menstruation my
suffering was something terrible. 1
thought there was no cure for me, but
after taking several bottles of Lydia

my bad feelings We're gone. 1 am now
well and enjoying good health. l shall
always praise your medicine. MIS-.

Female Troubles Overcome
"DEAR Mrs. PINRHAM:-Ih had female
trouble, painful meases, and kidney
complaint, also stomach trouble. About
year ago l happened to pick up a
paper that contained an advertisement
of Lydia f. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and when / read how il had
helped others, / thought it might help
me. and decided TO give it a trial. L
did so, and as a result am now feeling
perfectly well. lwish to thank you for

"DEAR Mrs. PINKHASI Your Vege-

benefit to me. When my menses first
appeared they were very irregular.
They occurred too often and did not
leave for a week or more. l always
suffered at these times with terrible
pains in my back and abdomen. Would
be in bed for several days and would

THE FLOOD SITUATION.
A Bridge on the L. g. N. Is
Seriously Damaged.
Heavy Rains Falling-ContInuancs OF the
Railroad Blockade Feared and the
Millions of Damage Done
May BE Doubled.

New ORLEANS, La, April 22.-The
flood situation took a turn very much
for the worse today. A heavy rain be-
gan falling at noon, which seems to be
general throughout Louisiana and Mis-
sissippi. The chances are that this
means a continuance of the railroad
blockade, and if the bad weather keeps
up for any length of time the millions
of dollars damage already reported will
be doubled.
A special from Scranton, Miss, re-
ceived here tonight, paints the situation
in very gloomy colors. The Louisville
& Nashville railroad bridge, across the
West Pascagoula river had two spans
knocked out today by floating logs, and
a third span is six feet out of line and
liable to go at any minute. The big
bridge belonging to the same road at
Scranton is also greatly endangered.
This afternoon the road began to trans
fer passengers from Scranton to West
Pascagoula by steamboat.
1t is reported that the entire country
along the Pascagoula is under water,
and the inha bitants have taken to the
hills
AT Moss Point there is log jam made
up of quarter of a million logs.
The town of Merrill, Miss, is six feet
under water, and the loss to the mer-
chants and residents of that place is
great.
With the Louisville e Nashville Grip
pied, and the New Orleans & North,
western out of business, for the time
being, this city is now without COM
munication with the East. The mails
still get through via the Louisville &
Nashville, but not ton of freight can
be handled for several DAYS at least

Coal Production.

WASHINGTON, April 22.-According to
returns representing between so and 80
per cent of the coal tonnage, the pro-
duction of coal in the United States in
1899 is estimated to have amounted to
25s, $780, $50 tons As compared with the
production of 1898, when the product
amounted to PIG, 974, 667 tons, this indi-
Gates an increase of over IFS per cent.
These figures exceed by $4,000, 900 tons
the outside estimates heretofore made
on the coal tonnage for 1899. The pro-
duction OF 1898 was nearly 2O,OOO,00r
tons in excess of that of 1897.

SERIOUS Loss
Means Total Stoppage of Freight From
New Orleans.

Means Total StOppage of Freight From
New Orleans.
New ORLEANS, April 22.-The per-
sistent pounding of logs swept down by
swollen streams, knocked out the Pasca-
goula bridge, and threw this end of the
line out of business. The superintend-
ent of this division will begin repairs
tomorrow, and in the meantime the gap
will be crossed by boats with trains on
each side. Gen. Russell A. Alger and
most of the delegates to the B'Nai
Birth convention here were caught be-
tween the break and Mobile.
The bridge is steel span some 400
feet long, and its loss at this time is
serious, as the Illinois Central and
Northeastern have been using the
Louisville & Nashville to get out their
freight until they get their roads in
shape. The Northeastern cannot re-
sumo until Wednesday. The Illinois
Central ran its trains out today, but
another general rain has already played
some havoc, and by tomorrow all East
ern freight may lie tied up, or take a
roundabout route by the West.
