.yhe Dataro iof the wounds makes
it almost . hopeless ease. the liver
having been penetrated, and there
sre grave ddub,s of recovery.
The ded seenis to have been most
dsssardly one. It appearing that Nc.
New did the shooting on sight With
Out saying word. and at such close
range that wads OF Mir. Browns clo-
thing were carried into his body with
each shot.
The particulars leading up to the
attempted murder are as follows:
Mr.. Brown owns farm at wittens
, Mills and being away from home
travelling for r. J. II. Tobacco Com
i-pzuy. Ae;tew, Joan -sorne uno1piain-
able cause, was In tho habit or throw
Ing down tho fences around MIR.
Browns farm, thus permitting stock
from the highways to enter upon aud
destroy the crops. When spoken to
J by Mrs. Brown in regard To his ac-
tions, he became very abusive and
insulting 10 her, and instead Of
repairing the fences or desIsting In
his practice. he continued, and fur
thermore, refused TO allow Mrs.
Brown TO have the fences repaired.
When Mr. Brown reached home
yesterday Afternoon from a trip, he
met McNew near where the fence
was torn down in one place, and as
ked for an explanation OF his con
duct, whereuDon McNew, without re-
plying, drew revolver and began fir-
Ing. He was so close TO MIR. Brown
that he (Brown) struck the revolver
in an endeayor to disarm his antag-
onist.. and one ball passed through
McNus's hand
The hend continued 70 nre until
the weapon was empty. and he had
put Ave bullets into the body OF his
I victim.
McNew at once escaped TO the
mountains and posse OF citizens
was formed as quickly as possible
and started after him. Il Is TO be
hoped that no will soon be overta-
ken. Should he be caught while the
citizens are in their present excited
frame OF mind. the state Will proba-
bly, be saved the expense OF trial.
Mr.. Brown is a well to do and
highly respected citizen, while his
wouid-be murderer bears an unen-
viable reputation.

Society Women in Convents.

The conversion of Princess Ena to Roman Catholicism recalls to mind how many members of the ''old faith" are still to be met with in the smart drawing rooms of London. Among those who have recently joined the Ro- man Catholic faith may be mentioned Theodosia Lady Cottenham. and her daughter, Lady Mary Pepys. The lat- ter Is noted as a singer. a French schol- ar, and an amateur actress. and has studied under Mme. Thenard. of the Comedie Franchise. The Hon Mary and Hon. Margaret Russell. daughters of the late Lord Russell of Killowen, are now both nuns in the Convent of the Holy Child at Mayfield. Sussex, and also the Hon. Violet Gibson, the pretty daughter of Lord and Lady Ashbourne. The Duke of Norfolk has two sisters who are nuns. Lady Minna Howard belongs to the Carmelite order. and Lady Etheldreda Howard Is Sister of Charity. Lady Edith Fielding, sis ter to Lord Denbigh. is another Sister of Charity, and cheerfully endures ex- ile at a convent in China. Lady Maria Christina Bandini, daughter of Lord Newburgh, is at Sacre Occur convent on the Continent; Lady Frances Bertie sister to Lord Abingdon, resides in a convent at Harrow, and Lady Leopol- dina Keppei, sister to Lord Aibemarle, is a nun of the Sacred Heart

Returning to Montgomery yestanaay morning after a two weeks stay in Coosada. Mir. and Mrs. John L. Casey. of IT Mildred Street found that thair residence had been footed by burglars. The house was turned up side down. the locks of trunks and drawers had been broken and the contents strewn over the floor.
 After a Hhoroukh examination, it was found that only a gold watch. d gold pin, pair of gold cuff buttons and 75 cents had been taken. This leads to the belief that the burglars were after money and jewelry only.
 The burglary was immediately re- ported to the police but no arrests the robbery. the police saId they thought nothing was stolen from the residence.
 The burglary ia one Of many that have been successfully committed in Montgomery residences during the past few days. As yet no arrests have been made in any of the burgiaries
 The Casey residence was vacant tho greater part of the time during the absence of Mfr and Mrs. Casey. On leaving Montgomery, they left the house in charge of someone, but 1t seems that while away, the person iu charge also left Montgomery on a pleasure trip.
 An attempt was also made early yesterday morning to burglarixe the residence of John "A Fillmore on vfr- ginia Avenue. Tn the nick of time. Mfr Fillmore discovered that someone was tampering with his residence. He was aroused and. revolver in hand, instituted a fruitless search for the burglar. The police also appeared but were no more successful In locating the thieves. It Is supposed the house breakers were scared off and escaped.

 Unhappily, however, In this County of Jefferson. the home of both of the candidates for Governor, the reprehen- sibie methods to which we have re- ferred. have been used more unscru- puIously and energetica1ly than any where else in the State. The friends of the candidate opposed to Dr. Cum ningham have sought to array class against class and to sow the seeds of enmity in the Democratic. party it. self. It would seem that the disrup- tion of the party is nothing to them. provided their selfish interests are advanced. and never were selfish in- terests, the petty as well as the pre- sumptuous, more cunningly interwo- ven and giossed over with spacious virtues than thesel
