CAUSE OF THE FEUD.
Fuss Between Jim, Joe and Bui
 Started It.


 Started It.
 As nigh as I kin remember" said the Kentucky mountaineer when aske ed what was the beginning of certain feud of long standing. Jim Sharpless had a hawg. Joe Parker had dawg, and Rud Taylor had jug of whisky. How the hawg and the dawg and the jug got mixed up together l dsrecol- feet, but long comes Jim and Joe and Bud and begius Il fuss, and two of 'em gifts killed, and since that time every body has bin shootin at everybody else whenever he had a chance. Maybe that dawg bit the hawg, or the hawg broke the jug, or the men was onery and ached fur fuss, but I reckon 1t don't make no difference. Bin 22 of em killed and 10 hurt, and It's still gwine on, and If yo'll jest ride round that turn by the hill it's likely yo'll find Sharpless waitin fur Parker or a Parker lyin low fur a Taylor, and yo'll git bullet into yo' fur meddlin with other folks bizness."

The coroner went out to view
the body yesterday afternoon and

taken shelter from the rain, aud
the guards were at the front, the
convicts being at the back of the
house. Westbnry was handling tho
Winchester belonging to Bray;

ing been convicted of criminal
assault on = negro girl in L.urens

Extensive Damage Done Southern
Railroads Property.

AsheviIle, N. c., Aug. II.
The Railroad situation today rs a
result of the heavy rains is worse
than it has been at any time dur
ing the iownpsur Of the past
week aEnins on. al Lines are
completely tied up and the Asbe.
vile and Spartsnburg division of

ed operations. No trains have
been heard from on this road to-
day.
Another big slide occurred on
Saluda mountain today. There
are several washouts and that tho
roadbsd is entirely submerged by
water for a long distance is re-
ported to he the state of affairs on
the entire line from Spartanburg
to Asheville.
There is serious trouble report
cd on tho Ashsville line between
Black Mountain and Round Knob.
BY cave in of tunnel one
man lost his life and this morn.
ings trains were delayed about 10
hours. The longest tunnel on the
mountain, Swsnnanoa, 1900 feet
in length, began caving in at one
end. A wrecking crew and work
ing train was sent out to repair
the damages. Section Master
Robinson was at work in the tun-
mel and in the very midst of the
slide, when the working train
pushed its way through running
over and killing him instantly.
Every effort possible is being
made by the Southern officials to
get The readbea cleared. All

The Shelby Murderer.
The Shelby Aurora Of Wednes-
1ay has the FOLLOWING.

The Shelby Aurora Of Wednes-
day has the following:
"Several arrests in distant
towns have been made due to
mistaken identity Of Jim Lowry.
AS yet no definite knowledge of
his whereabouts has been secured.
but it is hoped that the toward
and the diligent effort being
made will secure the capture of
the fleeing murderer. :"
1t has developed since the mur-
der was committed, that the name
of the murderer is not Jim
Lowry; but John Jenkins. He
is a York county negro, however,
as was originally stated, and it
seems that he has been living In
Shelby for several years under
the name of another York county
negro, the real Jim Lowry, who
has been behaving himself in the
meantime.
Jenkins, tho murderer, alias
Lowry, is wanted in York countv,
for burglary committed Novem-
ber 2, 1894. On that day be and
another negro named Oney Legg
entered the house of one Lemuel
Garner, colored, and stole goods
to the value of S3.s7. jenkins
got away and was never arrested J
Legg was tried on April 3, 1895,
convicted and sentenced to the
state psnitentiary for - years.
In the case of Jenkins q sealed
sentence was left with the clerk
OF the court.
Sheriff Logan, sometime back,
got from good authority, informa-
tion to the effect that Jenkins was
in Shelby and he wrote to Chief
Jones to arrest him; but was un-
able to furnish the chief with the
name under which the negro was
then going and consequently no
arrest was made. 1t did dot de-
vslop until several days after the
murdertbat John Jenkins and the
alleged Jim Lowry were ono and
the same negro.

WELCOME LOCAL CONTROL.
Enthusiasm in Cincinnati over
Probabilities of Baseball Changes.

CINCINNATI. Dec. 2S.-Locai enthusi-
asm o,sr the prospects of Cincinnatians
securing control of the local franchise in
the National League is increased by a
statement made by Director Billings OF
the Boston Club. to the effect that he is
positive that John T. Brush. President of
the Cincinnati Club. contemplates TAX
ing up his residence in New York in the
near future, an arrangement that practi-
cally would place him out of baseball so
far as the Queen City is concerned.
This report undoubtedly will give local
CAPITALISTS. who are willing to invest
reasonable amount of money in the Gin
cinnau franchise, additional confidence in
their prospects Of securing the property.
and as soon as the matter can be placed
in shape for a conference Mr.. Brush will
be asked to meet Judge Howard Ferris
and talk over the matter of transfer of
his interests TO the local company. In
case the deal goes through the local com
pany viii consist OF five stockholders. in
cluding Judge Ferris and Mr.. y. Ashley
Lloyd. the present secretary and treas
urer of the club. This syndicate is made
up of solid business men who are will
ing TO pay a fair price for the plant OF
the Cincinnati Club az It now stands. In
case MIR Brush decides that he does not
want TO sell. no effort win be made TO
secure the Cincinnati National League Club
franchise over his head.

EDIsoN's ILL-HFALTH.
Famous Inventors Condition Grcnt-
Iy Alarms His Friends.

Thomas A. Edison's condition is worry
ing his friends. The famous inventor has
recently been advised by several distin-
guished physicians to stop work. but he
pays no heed to their counsel. He is en-
crossed in the investigation of several
difficult problems and refuses to rest.
For a number of years Mr.. Edison has
been burning the candle at both ends.
He not only has taken no account OF sleep
but has forgotten when meal time comes.
The latter thing is what in the opinion
Of his physicians, has done most 10 un-
dermine his health. Hundreds OF times
within the past few years he has eaten
only one meal a day, and this hasty
breakfast. The result is a disorder OF
the stomach. which In the opinion of the
distinguished medical men can only be
remedied by long period Of quiet Lying.
Hundreds OF his friends and many OF the
leading physicians Of the country have
urged him to take a rest for the sake
Of his health. but he turns a deaf ear
10 all such appeals.
He il determined TO work out AS many
as possible OF the problems which are
vexIng his mind. and his friends have no
doubt that he will keep at ii until the end.

NEW BASEBALL TANGLE.
National League Mapnntc Wants to
Iense Milwaukee Grounds.

MILWAUKEE. Wis. Dec. 2s.-Another
taugle in the baseball situation has de-
yeloped here.
a National League magnate wrote to
Secretary Gross of the old Milwaukee
American League Club. asking on what
terms he would give lease TO the Lloyd
Street grounds.
According to the surmise of some of the
baseball men here, the National League
expects 10 place one OF its teams in the
field here. if peace compact is agreed
upon between the magnates representing
the American and National Leagues.
1t is believed that in case peace is de-
clared, the Robisons would bring their
St Louis Club to Milwaukee and occupy
the grounds on which the Brewers played
for many years.
