SAD TRAGEDY AT ALBANY.
w. C. HARRIS SHOT LAST NIGHT by
c. ID. JAMES.

Harris Is Dying and James Is Under
Arrest-Bofh Are Men of Families
and Well Known and Popular
Citizens of AIbany-James Ia Agent
of the Southern Express Company.
He Thought Harris Was Using In
sulting Language to Members of
His Family.
Albany. Ga, March 2o-A deplorable
tragedy was enacted on one of the prin-
cipal streets of Albany shortly before s
o'clock this evening, and it's victim lies
dying in his home. At the hour stated,
a single pistol shot rang out on Jackson
street not fifty yards from the corner of
Broad.
Parties who hurried 20 the scene found
Mr.. Claud B. James with a smoking pis-
tol in his hand and Mr.. w. C. Harris
leaning for support against a convenient
wall.
Harris was heard to exclaim, 'Well, you
have killed me-" repeating the words sew
eral times. II hope not" replied James.
There were no eye witnesses to the diff
Guilty From the best information your
correspondent has been able to gather
tonight Harris had been drinking. While
James was on his way home, he heard
Harris talking rather boisterously in front
of the iatter's residence. James approach
ed the place, and whether rightly or not,
it is difficult to state, inferred that Har-
ris was making remarks 20 members of his
xybia II
protested to Harris, and after a few mo-
ments the two walked together down tns
street. When in front of Farka's stable,
it appears they stopped and began argu-
ing. Sharp words were heard by several
parties, and presently the pistol shot
rang out. Harris staggered back against
the wall of the stable, but did not faIl.
Mr. B. j. Mann, who CHANGED to be near,
assisted him to his home.
Harris walked nearly the entire dis
lance supported on one side by Mann and
on the other by James. Just before
reaching his gate, however his strength
failed and he sank down unconscious.
Physicians were hastily summoned, and
on examination they found that a thirty
eight calibre pistol ball had entered Har-
ris' head near the bridge of the nose,
ranging downward and passing out at the
base of the neck. The wound was pro
nounced necessarily fatal, and at IL
o'clock Harris is dying. James stated to
your correspondent tonight that he shot
Harris accidentally. He said: Harris
was about to strike me with a knife, and
I threw up my pistol to catch the blow.
The weapon was discharged without in
tent l deplore the unfortunate affair
more deeply than I can tell
James gave himself up to the author
tiles. He is under arrest at the home
of an officer. c. B. James is Albany S
agent of the Southern Express Company,
and man of high standing in the COM
munity. He is a prominent Mason, being
Worshipful Master of the Albany Lodge.

ANOTHER PIPE DREAM.
A Canadian Who Thinks He Is Heir
to the Millions of n Virginia

Holland, Mich, March BOT. r. Oat-
man, a Canadian, who came to this city
about year ago, and has since been en-
ployed by the Flint and Pere Marquette
Railway as a switchman. was to-day ad-
vised in a letter from his mother at St
Thomas, Ont, that he is an heir to Sc, 900, :
900, left by a distant bachelor relative
named D. P. Kline.
ID is said that Kline died about a year
ago on his Virginia plantation, and since
then his estates have been the source vi
continual litigation. 1t has been decided
that Oatman's mother and her two sisters
are the only relatives and therefore Dat
man is in line for his $2O00000 share He
does not know what relationship existed
between himself and the rich Virginian,
but the letter from his mother was ac-
companied, 1t is said, by the necessary
documents to bear out the truth of the
claim.
Oatman is a young unmarried man who
had been living with his mother in Can
ada until about a year ago when he
started out to earn his way in the world
he had shown liking for railroad work
and chose 1t for his avocation, securing
q position In the yards Of the Pere Mar
quette soon after his arrival. Oatsnan

Kline estate in Virginia, his only infor-
nation, contained in his mothers letter,
being that 1t consists OF a big planta-

SMUGGLING IN NEW YORK.
Startling Disclosures Result From
Recent Changes in the Gus
tom House.

Washington, March 2o.-Collector of
Customs Bidwell of New York, was in the
city to-day comforting with Assistant Sec
rotary of the Treasury Spaulding regard
ing the reorganized conditions at the New
York customs house. He brought figures
to show that the duties collected from
passengers on four steamers arriving last
Thursday, Friday and Saturday were $22.-
900 greater than from passengers aboard
steamers of the same lines on correspond
ing days last year.
The extent of the smuggling disclosed
by the new system in New York has sur
prised the treasury officials. Investiga-
ton resulting from these disclos-
ures has revealed the fact that
a large number of transatlantic passen-
gers, supposedly women Of wealth and
fashion, were in fact milliners and dress
makers regularly smuggling goods from
Paris and other European capitals. 1t is
asserted that the disclosures are likely to
result in the near future in some radical
changes at Boston, Philadelphia, Balti-
more and other large cities whence trans
Atlantic liners sail.

CHICAGO TEACHERS FIGHT.
Not Each Other, But the Corpora

cry Assessed Tor luXat1On.
Springfield, Ill, March 2O-The Chicago
schoolteachers' fight with the State Board
of Equalization began to-day in the San
canon Circuit Court before Judge Thomp-
son, with the presentation of the petition
in the name of the state attorney of
Sangamon county for writ of mandamus
20 compel the state board to revise its
figures on the properties of the various
corporation which, the schooIteachers al
lege, are not paying their fair share OF
taxes. The first days proceedings result
ed in a victory for the schoolteachers, in
that Judge Thompson overruled motion
to dismiss the petition and ordered the
trial to proceed tomorrow on the issue
raised by the schoolteachers.
Several Chicago school teachers were
present when court convened. Each of
the several corporations involved in the
proceeding, was represented by one or
more officials and counsel These cor
porations are the Peoples Gas Light and
Coke Company, the Chicago Edison Com
pany, the South Chicago City Railway
Company, the Chicago Telephone Compa-
ny, the Chicago Traction Company and
the Chicago City Railway Company.
Attorney Greenacre, appearing for the
of the petition. In a word, he charged
that whereas the board of equalization
had assessed the properties of these cor
porations at something like $12, 900 900,
their real and fair value was about $685.
100000. He charged that the board had
signally failed TO do its duty and urged
that the state officials be compelled by
mandamus to correct the evils of which
the petitioners complained.
IN atf Co.,
the board, Immediately moved
to discuss the petition. He based his mo-
ton principally upon the fact that the
assessment complained of has been COM
pleted, certified carried out upon the tax
books and that, to a large extent, the tax
es have been collected. He held that it
was too late now for the court to inter
fere.
At the conclusion of the arguments,
Judge Thompson promptly overruled the
motion to dismiss and ordered the hearing
to proceed tomorrow.

CHARLESToNS EXPOSITION.

Grad States and Cities VIII
Have BuiIdings

Charleston, S. c., March 20.-The failure
OF Congress to make an appropriation of
SZoO,OOO for a government building and
government exhibit at the South Carolina
Interstate and West Indian Exposition,
to be held at Charleston, will not inter
fere in any way with the scope and pur-
pose of the undertaking.
The work of construction on the expo
sic1on grounds and buildings is proceeding
with all possible expedition. The bill
which Congress failed to pass simply
provided the means of covering the ex-
penses of the government building and
exhibit. Not one penny of the amount
asked for could have been diverted to
any other than government uses so that
the failure of the bill, while disappoint-
ment to those who lean upon government
support for the achievement of practical
ends, has not diminished the resources
Of the exposition company or caused any
change in its general plan.
The great manufacturing and Industrial
development of the South, and the oppor-
tunities which will be presented through
the exposition at Charleston of the cult
walton and establishment of closer trade
relations between the United States and
the West Indies, will make the participa-
ton of the great manufacturing and COM
mercial states and cities of practical
value to them.
The appropriation thus far of $4,000 by
the Legislature of Missouri for represen-
taion at Charleston as well as Buffalo;
of $4,000 by the state of Oregon for the
same purpose; of $4,000 for a Pennsylva-
MIA state building; of $4,000 for a New
York state building; $4,000 for a Philadel-
phia city building, and the assurance of
city buildings from Baltimore and Cincin-
NATL show that the business interests of
the country appreciate the value of the
exposition at Charleston.

Washington, March Ex-senator Hanna,
Representative Grosvenor and Represen-
tative Dick of Ohio, had a very extended
conference with the President to-day.
They were closeted with him for almost
two hours. Senator Foraker called during
the progress of the conference but re-
manned only a short time. The impor-
lance of the consultation may be judged
by the fact that Secretaries Root and
Gage who had busintss with President
Mckinley, after waiting for some time re-
turned to their respective departments
The consultation between the Ohio Re-
publican leaders and the President cover
ed quite a number of questions, national
as we'll as state, but were largely con-
fined, it is understood, to the political
situation in Ohio.
1t was decided that Gov. Nash and
most of the present Ohio state ticket
should be renominated this fall; also that
Senator Foraker should be indorsed by
the state convention for reelection.
