 BeSsener Affray WAS ORDERED 10 LEAVE BAR Negro Man and Wife Engage in Quar- rel and When Told to Get Out
 By Albert 5yrum Lat
 ter Opens Fire.
WAS ORDERED TO LEAVEBAR

Bessemer, November 2S.-(Special) )-Al- bert Byrum, who conducts barroom on Twentieth street. shot and almost in stantly killed Ernest Griffin, a negro. last night. The negro was attempting to shoot MT. Byrum. it is said and the kill ing was done in self defense. Griffin had gone in the saloon for the purpose of es- corting his wife out, who it is said, was drinking heavily. The negro struck her on the head with his pistol and it was discharged, the ball taking effect in the leg of Will Cole. a barber, who was talk ing over the telephone in an adjoining room.
 The negroes, it appeared. had been quar- reling previous to the time they entered the saloon. The quarrel was continued on the inside. When the couple was ordered to leave by Mr Byrum the man became enraged at MT. Byrum and drew a knife. MT. Byrum. seeing that his life was in danger started for his pistol. The negro then drew his weap and struck his wife on the back of the head, knocking her senseless. The negro then quickly turned on MT. Byrum opening fire MT. Byrum returned the fire, the two loads taking effect in the negro's abdomen. Griffin then jumped through a glass win dow, running over to the other side of the street, where he died in a few min utes.
 Griffin was formerly from Macon. Ga, and was not considered bad negro. His wife had caused him much trouble.
 MT. Bynum was arraigned before Mayor Huey this morning, but as all the evil dence showed that he acted purely in self defense he was acquitted. MT. Cole, who was shot in the leg by stray bullet from the negro's pistol, is In a rather serious condition. His leg Is badly shattered at the knee and it is thought it will be neces- sary to amputate the limb.

 A few months ago I caught a severe cold, which settled on my lungs and re- mained there so consistently that 1 be- came alarmed. I took medicine without benefit until my digestive organs became upset, and my head and back began to ache severely and frequently.
 'I was advised to try Peruna, and al- though I had little faith I felt so sick that was ready to try anything It brought me blessed relief at once and I felt that I had the right medicine at last. Within three weeks I was completely restored and have enjoyed perfect health since.
 T now have the greatest faith in Peru na'-F. E. Kenah.
 If you have the slightest symptom of catarrh of the lungs don't walt.
 Get bottle of Peruna.
 Use it according to directions.
 It will remove every trace of catar- rhal irritation from the throat, bron- chiaI tubes and lungs.
 catarrh cannot remain where Peru na is used
 No one need fear consumption whose mucous membranes are free from catarrhal inflammation.
 Give Peruna trial.
 It does all we claim as the following letters testify.
 catarrh Often Causes Consumption.
 One-half the ailing women of the Unit ed States are suffering from catarrh. They are doctoring for almost any other disease without benefit. A few bottles of Peruna would eradicate all catarrhal in- flammation from the system. With clean, healthy mucous membranes health inev- itably follows.
 If you do not derive prompt and satis- factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad- vice gratis.

wILHELM's TROUBLES.


Brooklyn Times.
Jonahs internal piscatorial investiga-
tons, Improbable and unpleasant as they
were, appear to have been quite needless
1t might have been simpler for Jonah to
have gone to Ninevah in the first place.
If Kaiser Jonah would draw the lesson to
himself he might discover some things Of
advantage He seems to be indulging in
the questionable logic of the hard luck
prophet just at present. His particular
cali of duty comes from the Socialists.
AS to lust what his duty i'm the matter
is, there is a diversity of opinion, but there
is never smoke without some fire. So
cialism is hereditary in Germany. 1t is an
issue of the times. Unfortunately the
mailed fist cannot be used in dealing with
it. It's adjustment must be untheatric, and
the great and noble Emperor could not find
occasion to show off more than two uni
forms a day. But instead of staying at
home and quieting the Prussian caldron
of discomfort he seeks to temporiZe after
the manner of Jonah. He believes the
cannon roar from the Panther, as she
hammers at the Venezuelan forts, will echo
back into his Reichstag and drown the
cries of socialism. Inasmuch as one of the
strongest attacks on the Emperor that has
1t does not seem that the war lords Ma
poleonic coup will carry. Certainly it will
but temporize with fate.
Meanwhile William is getting himself into
a pretty mess. He is placing himself in
the light of one looking for trouble, and
il is a matter of historic record that no
ting it. and generally getting more than
he bargained for. The bands which secure
Germany to Great Britain are becoming
very irksome to the people of the isles, and
the alliance of blood and commercial in
terest which secures Great Britain to
America are strong enough to tear the
petty continental cords to shreds. The
Kaiser has nothing to gain by making a
fool of himself in Venezuela. OF course,
there is some logic in going as far from
home as possible when he rises to these
characteristic heights of asininity. Every
one admits that the Kaiser is so constituted
that he finds it necessary to make fool
of himself quite occasionally. 1t is never
difficult operation for him. But why he
should choose such time and such a
place for the indulgence of his imbecile
whims passes all understanding.
So far his attacks on Castro's funny little
country have been anything but creditable
to the German ships. The Panther stormed
up to San Carlos forts the first time and
retired like a whipped dog. The second
time she did nothing more damaging than
the yowl of a cat on the back fence, and
the third time failed to materially discom-
mode the Venezueans. William is simply
wasting powder and losing friends, ana
there is big fish abroad in the sea wait
ing for him.
