Killed by Demented Preacher.

Athens, Ala, Oct. 9.-News has
Just reached here of the killing late
Yesterday of Andrew Jackson, living
near the Lauderdale county line, by
a preacher named Livingston. The
men are said to have disliked each
other for a long time and when they
met yesterday Livingston fired on
Jackson. Livingston was later caught
wandering about the woods bare
footed and clad only in his under
garments. Later in the night ne
made his escape. 1t is thought that
his mind is unbalanced.

Tragedy in Pennsylvania.

Philadelphia, Oct. Capt. j.
Clayton Erb, of the 3rd regiment

A Young Man and His Mother.

A young man, a graduate of one OF
our leading universities, put an end
to his life last Tuesday In Phila-
delphia lodging house. He had no
money and was out of work. A letter
found beside his body, addressed to
his mother, begged her forgiveness
and Gods for wasted life. The
news dispatch laconically says, His
mother was informed of his death
and is expected from New York to-
night"
Instead of writing that letter to his
mother and giving his wrecked LIE
back to the mercy Of God, that
young. man should have prayed to
God and gone home to his mother.
He may have had no money and no
work-he had his mother. AS long
as he had her he had incalculable
riches. He may have drifted, va
grant and derelict, down to the gates
of hell; her mother-love would follow
after him and find him there. Filled
with the husks that swine rejected,
tatterdemalion, returning from a
far countryside would have welcom-
ed-not the prodigal son, but her
son, the son of her loving life and
living love.
A son may forget that his mother
loves him but his mother deos not
forget. She will go as far as to
the foot of the gallows tree with him,
and after that will intercede with
heaven. For she went to the very
gate of death for him when he came
into the world-and when he comes
to die, however shameful in the eyes
of man may be his exit from the
world, her soul goes with him as he
goes, and speaks to God for him.

A Prohibition Town.

Spartanburg is a prohibition town.
Following is what one of the Spar
tanburg papers had to say the day
after a big crowd was in the city:
Though yesterday was circus day
and there were many hundreds of
visitors in the city, the order preserv-
ed was almost perfect. There was
no drunkenness, and the officers had
occasion to make but three or four
arrests during the whole day

SCHOONER SINKS
 NEARING PORT

Chatham, Mass, December 25.--Drift- ing along without crew and with her rigging lights set. the Boston schooner Harry Messer crossed a portion of the Nantucket shoals last night without run ming into any of the many vessels passing through the tortuous channel and finally descended on the Handkerchief shoal. three miles off shore, where she filled with water and sank. It Is believed that the schooner will be total wreck.
 The ATesser was bound from Baltimore for Boston with 5000 tons. of soft coal. She had been held back somewhat by the gale of Wednesday, but she left her an- ehorage off Dennis yesterday and tried to work up the cape shore where she struck on the Shovelful shoal, springing a leak. The water gained on the men a the pumps and finally Captain Pierce gave the command to abandon the schooner. The men then rowed to the Shoverful lightship. Shortly afterward the tide turned and the Messer worked free from the Pollock Rip shoal and Grifted up the cape shore.
 The Harry Messer was built in Bath, Maine, in 1880. She registers 627 tons gross, is 1597 feet long. 35.5 feet beam and 15S depth of hold. and carried a crew of eight men, With her cargo she is val ued at $45,0O0
