DUEL TO DEATH.
After Being Shot Five Times, Man
Hacks His Brother to Death
With q Hatchet. ~

Winder, Ca, Jan. 14.-While alone
in a room of his home Last night, J..
H. Evans, after being shot five times,
killed his brother, j. G. Evans, with a
hatchet. -,
The head of J. G. Evans was literal
ly hacked to pieces, being split open
in more than half dozen places.
j. G. Evans, a brother of J. H.
Evans, came to talk over business
settlement. The two brothers had re-
Gently been engaged in the mercantile
business. The older brother, J. H.
Evans, about three months ago,
bought out his brother, but had not,
it is supposed, settled with him for
his interest in the business.
The men were alone in the home OF
J. H. Evans. The conversation grew
warm and very exciting, and J. H.
Evans says his brother sprang to the
bureau and seizing pistol, shot him
five times just over the heart, in a
place three inches square.
J. H. Evans, after having been
shot, seized a hatchet, so he says, and
buried it in the head of J. G. Evans
six times, splitting it open in several
places.
After this tragedy, J. H. Evans
went to a neighbor's home after his
wife and brought her home this
morning. He is in a dying condi-
ton. .: -...
J.. G. Evans was killed instantly.

Ships Cargo on Fire.

Pensacola, Fla, Jan. 14.-At 10
O'Clock tonight the fire in the $780,
900 cotton cargo of the British steam
er Matteawan, which started Tuesday
night while the steamer was in the
gulf en- route to Havre, and which
caused the vessel to put back to Pen
sacola, is still burning, having gain
ed considerable headwayN during the
day.
Four fire tugs have been fighting
the flames continuously for the past
two days, but the effort to extinguish
the fire or prevent it's spreading have
been unavailing. Two additional
holds filed with cotton caught this
afternoon and all the cotton in the
forward part of the steamer is burn
ing.
The suction dredge Fidget was sent
to the steamer at o'clock tonight.
Steam will be forced through her 10
inch pipes into the hold in the hope
of extinguishing the. flames with the
aid of the tugs by morning.

CHARGED WITH MURDER.
Sovereign Lowe and Lee Boyd Lodg-
ed in Aiken Jail.

Aiken, Jan. 17.-Sovereign Lowe
and Lee Boyd were placed in the
county Jail last night, charged with
the murder of Rainey Lowe, wife OF
Sovereign Lowe, at the home of Lowe
about 20 miles from Aiken, in the
Sleepy follow section.
The arrests were made as a result OF
an inquest held yesterday afternoon
by Coroner Johnson and post NOR
tenn examination conducted by ply
sician. Mrs. Lowe died last Sunday
night and was inferred on Monday,
but on the request of Mrs. Counts, of
Augusta, mother Of Mrs. Lowe, the
authorities had the body disinterred
yesterday and an inquest held. .',.,.
The evidence at the inquest showed
that Sunday night Lowe came to his
home, accompanied by Boyd, both IN
a drunken condition. During the
night Alfred Glover, negro, heard
a woman scream in loves house and
beg for her life. Glover lives about
200 yards from the house. The
screams were also heard by other par
ties. Next morning the woman was
found dead. Mrs Counts came over
from Augusta and says that she
found bruises on Mrs. Loves throat
and body and was not satisfied as to
her death. After the burial she be-
came so convinced that something
was wrong that she came to Aiken
and asked an investigation.
Boyd and Lowe, both; testified to
coming to Lows house after drink
ing. They said they retired soon af-
ter arriving. During the night Boyd
said he went to loves bed and called
him and told him to get up, that he
had a long ways to go to his home
and that he must have an early start.
Lowe got up and when he looked at
the clock he saw it was o'clock and
they went back to bed. Early Monday
morning, Lowe said, he called to his
wife, who was sleeping with him, and
she did not answer. He shook her
and found that she was cold. He
said he called Boyd and they found
her dead, with one arm on the back
of her neck. , =, :
When testifying Lowe is said to
have almost broken down. The exam
lining physician found bruises on her
throat and body and found that there
had been sufficient external violence
to have produced death. -,
The verdict of the jury Of inquest.
was that the deceased came to her
death from choking at the hands of
Lowe, as principal, and Boyd, as ac-
cessory. :,
The two men to-day staunchly
maintained their innocence. Lowe is
about 25 years of age and Boyd some
years younger. Boyd is unmarried.
Mrs. Lowe was the mother of four lit
tie children, the youngest of whom is
only seven months old, and was her
self about % years old.
The case has created good deal Of
interest here, and any further de-
velopments will be closely watched.
All the parties are white.

as Wonderful Rescue.

Annarvelous rescue of woman and
a baby from the cabin of a capsized
vessel came to light on the arrival OF
the liner Oceanic at Plymouth.
While II miles from Ruatan Island
the British schooner Annie, com:
manded by Capt. c. M. Decker,
was capsized by whfrlwind, &C.
companying waterspout, which
formed Immediately over the ship.
When the vessel turned over, Capt.
Decker and, the crew climbed over
the side. and clung to the keel,
Mrs. Decker was in the cabin, and
her baby was lying in its cradle at
the moment Of the accident. She was
thrown down, and pitched through
the door of her cabin into the COM
panionway. Although severely cut
and bruised, she managed to crawl
back to the crib, and threw her hus-
bands oilskins over it to protect the
child from being hurt by the debris.
BY that time her husband and the
crew had climbed around the, broad
side of the sinking vessel. Olsen
tangling the two boats as quickly as
possible, they went through a small
porthole to the rescue of Mrs. Deck
er and the infant.
Meanwhile Mrs. Decker, with ad-
mirable presence of mind, hurriedly
knotted rope out of an oil-coat and
other things and for few moments
there was a desperate battle for the
lives of the two imprisoned ones.
The vessel was rapidly filing with
water, and the cabin was half full,
when, the p1ucky mother managed to
make rope basket for the baby and
saw that: the infant was safely hoist
ed through the aperture.
Then her husband and the others
succeeded in pulling her, more dead
than alive, from the cabin.-London

BIG YIELD OF PoTAToEs.
Frank YonalIy Makes the Ground
Pay Wen.

SaIina Union: Frank Yonally OF
near Abilene was in Salina today with
one Of the finest loads OF sweet po-
tatoes that has been marketed here.
They were of the Yellow Jersey var
iety and were very large and the
quality excellent. He sold them at
81 per bushel
Mr.. Yonally told the reporter some
Of his experiences in raising sweet
potatoes. He has a piece Of ground
consisting of one and one-half acres
that is sandy and well fitted for rails
ing the tubers. He has dug from this
piece Of ground this season 1856 bush
cells Of potatoes. He will get out OF
the crop $16O. 7g
He has planted this ground to
sweet potatoes for five years In sue
cession. The receipts for the crop
for this time has run from $50 to
$3.50. This year has been an excep-
tionally good one. Ten years ago he
says, he paid $40 per acre for the
farm. Before the farmers commenc-
ed to raise sweet potatoes the sandy
ground was considered nearly worth
less. But now 1t is found very val
liable.
Mr.. Yonally brought sample OF
his sweet potatoes to the Union office
today. One of the larger ones meas
ured II Y inches long, IL inches In
circumference and another was nine
inches long and II inches in circum-
ference. Mr.. Yonally says his melons
were a failure and corn was about
half crop. He lives six miles north
