a sYMPToMATIc CRIME.

Gallagher's murderous attack upon
Mayor Gaynor is symptomatic of a deep
seated disease in the body polite, as
Guiteati's assassination of President
Garfield was; for, in the one case as in
the other, the assassin could not hope to
change the genius and policies of SOW
ereign State, but struck down a chief
executive with no higher motive than
the lust of Office. Brutus and his fellow
conspirators imagined that they might
save the republic by Staying the man
who was felt to incarnate the spirit of
empire RavaiIlac drove the dagger to
the heart of Henry " under the inn
pulse of religious frenzy; Booth slew
Lincoln to help the South's cause
Times-Democrat.
This is nlisstatement as it applies to
Booth and the South. Indeed, it re-
fleets diseredit on the South, and there
fore should not be permitted to go UNI
noticed.
In what sense could the assassination
IF President Lincoln be helpful to the
South?
The ASSASSINATION Of President Lin
coin was calamity. in which the South
had no part or connection or counte-
nance, directly or indirectly, or in any
manner or sense whatever.
# the Times Democrat will inform it
self it win discover that the assassina-
ton was due to a resentment by Booth
against Mr. Lincoln, who, as it IS
claimed, had failed to interpose elem
#ency in the case of one Of Booths dear
friends
The conspiracy to kidnap Lincoln and
take him South and hold him for ran
som. is also one of the links in the chain
Of circumstances attending the assassi-
nation Of President Lincoln. In fact,
detailed statement of the assassination,
eSen if abbreviated, would take more
space than we could give in this issue
Of the Caucasian
The plot to capture Lincoln and his
associates and the escape of Booth from
Washington, including his pursuit, is a
narrative thrilling with sensationalisrn.
Il has been claimed that Booth was
killed il stable on the Carrot farm in
Virginia, but there is authority for the
statement that Booth escaped, and died
several years afterwards in Mexico un-
der an assumed name. The man killed
On The Garret farm is said TO have been
named Rudy He had no connection
with Booth OF the assassination.
i may be declared as a fact. which
can not be disputed, that Jefferson Da-
vis nor any one Of his Cabinet nor any
Of the leaders in the Confederacy had
connection with Booth.
The first intirnation of Mr.. Lincoln's
assassination was given Mr.. Davis at
DangilIe, Va. when he was on his re-
treat south after the fall of Richmond.
When apprised Of this assassination.
Mr.. Davis was visibly moved and with
fearful eyes exclaimed that the death of {
Mr. Lincoln would prove to be the
greatest calamity to the people of the
South, which was experienced during
the days Of reconstruction.
There is much which is associated
with Booth and the South which is fan
cifssl and untrue Instead of helping
the South. Booth in assassinating Lin
coin dragged the South to the utmost
depths Of humiliation and shame and
II was made to pay the penalty for a
most horrible and horrifying crime
which The South should and will never
cease to deplore and condemn.

YOUNG LADY STEP.
PED IN A HOLE AND BEING UN.

ACCIDENT OCCURRED NEAR

Miss Aliese Creary, daughter Of Mr..
and Mrs. H. L. Creary, and one of the
most prominent young society ladies
OF Santa Rosa county, lost her life
while in bathing in bayou near Bag
dad yesterday afternoon, while Miss
Minnie White Norris had a narrow
escape from drowning when she went
to the rescue of the young lady. This
news was received last night over the
long distance telephone from Bagdad.
and will cause much regret in Pensa-
cola and vicinity when 1t becomes
known this morning, as the young lady
who lost her life was well known here,
as well as members of her family.
According to the information re-
ceived a number of ladies had gone to
Oakland, near Bagdad, to enjoy bath
ing in the bayou there. This was
about $3.50 o'clock in the afternoon.
Miss Creary, one of the party, could
not swim, and ventured out too far.
She evidently stepped in a hole and
sank beneath the water. She screamed
and Miss White, who could swim
"a little, went to her assistance
and endeavored to save the
drowning young woman, but she
could not succeed. Miss White sank
twice, and finally, when her strength
was st'uost gone gave up the attempt
and ju2 succeeded In reaching shall
low water rben her strength gave out.
In about twenty minutes some young
men in a boat arrived on the scene,
having been notified, and the body Of
Miss Creary was recovered.

DlckERsoN GUEST OF HONOR AT
THE CAMP-SAYS JOHNSON HAS
NOT THE POWER IN HIS BLOWS
AS JEFFRIES.
BY Associated Press.

Reno, June 29.-With Gov. Dick
erson as the guest of honor, Jeffries,
after tricking the public Monday and
refusing to work Tuesday, boxed six
rounds with Joe Choynski, Sam Ber-
ger and his brother Jack, in the pres
ence of a thousand admirers today.
The rounds with Berger were a battle
royal, Berger fighting for all his worth,
but Jeff finally slowed up in order not
to put his manager down and out. The
workout in every feature showed Jerf
to be in the pink of condition.
Governor Dickerson appeared to en-
joy the visit to Jeffriess camp greatly
and the meeting put the retired cham
pion in good humor. The betting is
increasing in volume, and Jeffries the
fighting favorite at ten to six at
Reno and ten to seven at San Fran
cisco.
Charles White, of New York, was to
night named as the second referee of
the big fight, being acceptable to both
Jeffries and Johnson. Judge Nelson
withdrew because of other engage
mentS.
Governor, Dickerson tonight made a
statement comparing the fighters and
said Johnson is the faster, but has not
the power in his blows that lie behind
Jeffries's punch. Johnson will hit of
tener. but not with such telling effect
He would venture no opinion of the
outcome.
