". !. CHANDLER DIES
Bl HIS Own HAND.
BLOWS TOP OF HIS HEAD OFF With
SCOT GUK--SUPPOSED TO BE
INSANE.

News reached here last Sat
urdav. March 80, of a shocking
tragedy which took place at
Cedar Swamp, about ten miles
east of town. About o'clock
on the morning referred to Mr.
Walter y. Chandler, young
white farmer of that vicinity,
while sitting on the side of his
bed, placed the muzzle of his
shotgun to his head and pulled
the trigger, blowing off the top
of his Uranium. His aged moth
er, Mrs Josina Chandler, ran in
to the room and found him
struggling in his death agony
but it was about two hours be.
fore life was wholly extinct.
The gun was a hammerlesS
breech-loader, loaded with no.

ploded.

The walls OF the room were
spattered with his brains and
blood.
For some time, it is said, Mr..
Chandler had been in 4 state of
melancholia superinduced by
his physical condition and it is
generally believed that he was
crazed by worry and trouble
when he committed the desper-
ate deed, insanity being heredi-
tary in his family on his faith
er'S side.
Another source of trouble v'ds
the tact that his wife has been
in the asylum for some time and
no doubt this contributed large
ly toward unbalancing his mind.
Coroner Gamble repaired to
the scene on Saturday, accom-
panied by DR. D c Scott, and
held tie inquest about 4 O'Clock
Saturday afternoon. The yer.
dict rendered was, "That the de-

Two CentS.A.Mile Fare For Louisiana q

Baton Rouge People: A number Of
states in various sections of the coun-
try have passed laws to reduce the
rate of travel bv rail to two cents
per mile, and in electing their repre-
Sentatives TO the next legislature the
people should vote for none who do
not pledge themselves to vote for a
similar law in Louisiana. Few. if any
other states have shown greater liber-
ality to railroads than has Louisiana.
Her people have voted special taxes
in aid of railroads. They exempted
railroads from taxation to encourage
their construction, and railroad prop
ertv has been assessed at a low rate.
Hence, the people of Louisiana are
entitled to receive as favorable terms
for freight and travel from the rail-
roads as are those of any other state.
