COME FROM BlINO TIGER
The Preacher was Mor,ally Wounded
and Three Men 7iiledl 81 Meii,F
Who Had Visited

khoxtiAe. Tenn, Sept, 2S,--A
special TO the journal and Trfbuas
'ron' .,tlico, Tenn says one OF the
blood'est affairs In the history of
East Tennessee occurred near the
Tennessee-K Kentucky line, north OF
Anthras postoffice yesterday. The
scene was little Baptist church
within fifty yards OF which Is a blind
tiger which has been operated for
months. Just as the services had
closed yesterday, nearly all the
congregation had emerged from the
church a crowd OF drunken men who
had visited the blind tiger began fir
ing into the worshipers with pistols.
John Reuue:t, j. NJ Mckinney and
Edward Thomas were shot down In
the church door and died almost in
stantiy. streams OF their blood flow
ing down the steps OF the little
church. The preacher, Rev, Mr.. King,
was shot and mortally wounded,
falling In the church yard. Another
worshiper named G.iscn was also
shot down In front of the church but
is not dangerously wounded.
, The cause OF the tragedy Is moth
ing more than drunken mob s
work. Anthras is few miles of a
railroad and has no telephone con
nection. Jellico officers could not
learn the names OF any OF the men
implicated In the shooting, All the
dead and wounded men were Of fam
i.y except Bennett.

If such a feeling of apprehension can be created ly talking of the possibility of war a feeling of hopefulnoss can be created by talking of tho advantages of peace and the assured dawn of business prosperity If our political and com mercial leaders will talk in fact in the strain Admiral Evans talked to tho people of California in his address upon the occasion of the dinner given tho visiting fleet of battleships, an lm- mense amount of worry will be saved, From start to finish there was not one word of brag bluster or Intimidation.

PARK IMPROVEMENTS.


 The important part that the city beautiful commission with It's archi- tects is already playing in the pleasant problem of making New Haven more agreeable city in which to live was again shown in the action of the park commissioners the other night who passed a vote approving the plans of Messrs Olmstead and Gilbert for im- proving the meadows at the foot of East Rock before those plans had even been presented, which was an unusual but flattering procedure. Anything President Blake of the commission has said, which may be suggested by the architects as an Improvement will be accepted by the commissioners That certainly sounds as If the "eity beautl- flers" had become a permanent and inn portant fixture In the city The forth coming suggestions. therefore, will be awaited with interest.
 New Haven has always been good naturedly jealous of Its sster-clty up the state In one regard Hartford Is known far and wide for its parks. There can he no doubt that Elizabeth Colt. Keeney and above all, Bushnell parks. are, in their way, 0s beautiful as anything that New England offers. But New Haven has not gained a similar reputation. it may be considered to be due alone to the fact that the city has not sufficiently turned It's attention to the parks. The potential possibilities we have n plenty With every oppor- tunity nature can present they will he made a crownlng glory extending about the city Al present little Fdeewood park Is about the only well-cut jewel in that crown, but tho others promise well to outdo It on every hand
 The plans of the architects for the East Rock Meadows will provide for a l lake which should have two things to commend fl. namely its beauty and the l fact that it will do away with what Is now notable place for mosquito breeding The legislature has authoriz- l cd an issue of s1O.00O worth of bonds to carry out these improvements and something worth while should result l In addition there will be the new Sl0 GOO drive given by the late Miss ls3- phene Hillhousc under tho terms of her will It will be over a half mile in length, extending from Hemlock Grove to Whitney Peak along the edge of the cliff on the Whitney avenue side
 There is little doubt that the citizens dQ not realize what a beautiful anc ushfu spot Beaver Pond park, whicf is being filed In near Goffe and Cres- cent streets and which Ia rapidly near.
 ing completion, will be. Hopes are helc that the park will become reality within a year In if there will be public playgrounds for the children, for whom New Haven seems to have made too seanty provisions as compared witt other cities And so the park improve
 ments go on, the day seems not fal ahead when New Haven will have ar unexcclled series of breathing places extending from Fort Hale on the cas-
 to Judges Cave on the west, a crown
 ing glory to the City Beautiful.
