In a quarrel over some trivial matter at

o'clock last night, James Kirby, a guard
employed by the Tennessee company,
shot and perhaps fatally wounded Fuller,
a fellow guard, and was In turn shot by
Guard Reed while attempting to escape.
Kirby, who is at No. mine, was in
company with Reed and another guard
returning from No. 8 to No. mine. They
were stopped at No. 5 and were asked
to inspect the guards on duty at that
place. While making the inspection Full

As soon as he fired the shot Kirby
turned to run. He was ordered to halt
! by Guard Reed, who drew his pistol and
fired on Kirby, the shot taking effect In

surrender Reed hit him on the head with

which felled him to the ground.
Fuller was carried TO the Cunningham

wounds are not necessarily serious.
Kirby's Statement.
Kirby was seen last night in the county
Jail by an Age-Herald reporter and dis
cussed the matter freely. Il did not even
know the name of the guard I shot" said
he. I'm company with two other deputies
was making a tour of inspection of the
guards. We came up to where this guard
and others were talking. Fuller began
abusing the guards who would, as he ex-
pressed 1t, sneak on the others. He called
me very abusive name which resented.
We came to blows and both drew
weapons, but I was quicker and managed
to fire first Seeing him fall, l turned to
run but was stopped by Mr.. Reed, who,
after shooting me, struck me on the head.
Il came to- Alabama several weeks ago
from GALLON, Tenn, to dig coal After
working several days the company placed
me on guard duty"

MANSION TRIAL
Expert Engraver is Charged
With Counterfeiting
is PROMINENT CHURCHMAN
Sister Testifies That He Was at Home
on the Night He Is Charged :
With Making the
Plates.

Atlanta, November 3.-(Special. )--When
the federal court adjourned this after
noon, the taking of testimony in the
Mansion case had not been completed.
Mansions sister, on the stand today
swore he was at home the night he is
charged with making the plates.
The case of Charles A. Mansion, expert
engraver, Sunday school superintendent
and leading Methodist. charged with
counterfeiting, has attracted greater in
terest than any other case before the
federal courts here In recent years.
Is an Expert Engraver.
Mansion is foreman for the Southern
Engracing company, the engraving de-
partment of the Constitution Publishing
company, and is considered one of the
best and highest paid engravers In the
south. The specific charge against him is
that Of making the plates from which
counterfeit money was made for the
printing and passing of which four men
have already been convicted and sem
fenced.
The only direct evidence against Man
ston is that of VIII Wynne, an engraver
who worked with Mansion, who says that
he contracted to make the plates for $780,

do and that Mansion, being a finer work.
man, he got him to make the plates,
paying him $50 for the work. When
Wynne was first arrested he confessed
to making the plates. taking all the guilt
on himself Later he implicated Man
ston.
Case Is Very Prominent.
Mansions standing in church circles
has given the case great prominence, and
at every session of the court numbers Of
prominent church officials and ministers
have been in the court room to show
their faith In Mansion and their interest
In his case. So great has been the at
tendance of Mansions church associates
that lawyer remarked that the court
room looked more like a Methodist con-
ference than United States court. The
best legal talent In the city is engaged
in the case, which promises a battle
royal. The government is trying to cor
roborate Wynne's testimony, which by
his own confession of guilt is invalidated
unless supported by unimpeachabIe evil
dence.

Princeton, Ind, November 3.-For-
mer Vice President Adlai e. Stevenson
o. Illinois addressed a political meet
ing in this city tonight. Mr.. Steven
sons address was well received. He
spoke, in part, as follows:
In my judgment the tariff is the
supreme issue in this campaign. Other
questions may be but of the hour-but
they will pass with the occasion-but
this is ever with us. 1t has to do with
providing needed revenue for the sup
port of our government. When per-
verted from its original purposes, as
under the present law, it becomes an
engine of oppression, and imposes
grieyous burdens on the people. Tariff
reform is imperative. This can only
come through the fundamentally of
the democratic party. No prophet is
needed to tell us that there will be no
reimbursement or revision by the party
now in power. | have no hesitation
in declaring the tariff the paramount
issue in This campaign. Upon this
issue-well to the forefront-the dem
ocratic party in 1892 achieved a vic.
tory unparalleled during the first fifty
years of it's history

Desired Clean Campaign.

1.-The work of the department of com
merce and labor had only been well be-
gun, when the President desiring a clean
campaign, favored the appointment of Mr..
Cortelyou as national chairman, and after
the national committee had appointed
him, removed him entirely from the de-
partment of commerce and labor, and
appointed Mr.. Metcalf secretary Of that
department N his place.
''Cortelyou does not collect, handle nor
oisburse campaign funds. Mr.. Bliss does
that and Parker dare not attack Bliss in
New York. Parker is ignorant of these
facts. He attacks in a laundering man
ner Mckinley, Roosevelt and Cortelyou,
Just as he misstated the facts about the
affairs in the Philippines, hoping to
reach the White House through the most
remarkable attacks on men Of honor and
honesty ever witnessed by the American
people. This Is the first time in our his
tory that a candidate for the Presidency
has set his head, shut his eyes. doubled
