SPREE ENDS FATALLY
Mysterious Shooting Of Railroad
Man in Drunken Friends
Room.

Columbia, S. c., April 13.-Capt.
John B. Griffin, commercial agent of
the Norfolk & Western railroad, was
shot to death this afternoon in the
rooms of Major Barnard B. Evans, in
this city. The arrest of Major Evans.
subsequently. created a pronounced
sensation.
The two were alone. the occupants
of the adjoining apartments being at
dinner. Major Evans summoned a
physician, saying that a man was
hurt in his rooms DR.. R. w. Gibbs
found Captain Griffin lying in a dying
condition and speeches. on Major
Evans bed. A "A calibrc Cclt's re
volyer bullet had entered just above
the right nipple.
When DR.. Gibbs announced that
Griffin was dying he declares that
Evans. who had been drinking heav-
lily, became excited and exclaimed
that DR.. Gibbs lied; that DR.. Gibbs and
not he, himself. had killed Griffin. The
physician under the pretext of replac-
ing a broken instrument, managed to
get out of the room, although it is
thought Evans declared that he should
not do so. DR.. Gibbs summoned the
police and they were refused admit
lance until Judge Ernest Gary, cousin
Of Evans, arrived and demanded adj
mittance and submission to the Off
GERS. Evans struck Judge Gary and
was taken to Jail in a state of hys-
terics, having declared that Griffin had
taken his own life.
In the room were evidences that one
or both of the men had been drinking.
Aside from this there is no reason
why Griffin should have killed him
self or that Evans should have shot
him.

HAS NO JURISDICTION
Judge Parlange Dismisses Suit for.
Injunction Brought by
Boer Agents.

New Orleans, April 13-Judge Par
lange, in the United States superior
court. today dismissed the suit for
Injunction, brought by the Boer re-
personalities here to prevent the ship
ment of mules and horses to the
British army in South Africa.
Judge Parlange holds that the tran
actions between citizens of the
United States and the British gov
erment were conducted under the or
der of private citizenship and that
the courts had absolutely no jurisdic-
ton to interfere. The horses and
mules, the court said, were bought in
a neutral territory. Judge Parlange
says:
THE principle that neutral citizens
may sell to b~elligerents has long
since been settled in this country by
the highest judicial authority"

would be no strike on the Jersey Cen

been definitely decided upon. The
company has made concessions to the
men and has granted to the engineers
and firenen the 100 miles a day limit
which they demanded.
Shea said that the demands of the
telegraphers had been dropped for the
present. The operators were to con

fore until they could bring evidence
to convince the company that they
were not paid as much as t~elegraphers
