ATTORNEY GENERAL
KILLS NEGRO CHEF
Peoples Accidentally Shoots
Man at Elks' Club.
SHOWING PISTOL TO FRIEND
Sheriff Orders Deputy to Accom-
pany Attorney General to
Governors Mansion.

Columbia Special to Charleston
News and Courier, Dec. 6-Robert
Marshall, Colored, was killed tonight
by Attorney General Thomas II.
Peoples at the Elks' Club in this
city, where the negro was employed
as chef. The inquest will be held
at noon tomorrow According to
those at the club the shooting was
entirely accidental and Mr.. Peoples
is sorry beyond expression at the
happening.
1t was a pistol shot, the ball pierre
Ing the brain Of the negro. The oc-
currence was about 10 O'Clock to-
night. Mr.. Peoples rested tonight at
the governors mansion, where he
went just after the shooting took
place.
Governor Blease was out of the
city, being at his home in Newberry.
He made an effort, according to
friends, to come here late tonight
but could not reach the city. He is
expected to return early tomorrow.
The news of the shooting spread
about the city, although every effort
was made to keep It quiet Many
friends thought ii best not to pub
lish anything about the affair, but as
1t was an accidental killing, accord
ing to those at the club tonight,
others deemed it best that the facts
be known. The details will come out
tomorrow at the Coroner's inquest.
Sheriff Mccain was on hand per-
sonally at the club soon after the
shooting and on the suggestion that
Mr.. Peoples get good nights rest
at the mansion he sent a deputy with
him. Sheriff Mccain was heard to
express the opinion that this was a
matter of form, although the shoot
-shg was explained as accidental
]. F. Weaver, attendant at the
club, is quoted as saying that Mr..
Peoples was passing a gun over the
counter to him when 1t exploded, the
bullet piercing the brain OF the ne
gro, who was instantly killed. The
gun is said to have been a 44-calbre.
The ball entered at center of right
temple and came out of left temple.
A brother OF the dead negro was
present at the shooting. He after
wards stated that he had heard no
words pass between his brother and
Mr.. Peoples, and the first thing he
knew was the report of the pistol,
which he was very much surprised
to hear The brother is an employe
of the club also. 1t has been very
difficult to secure any coherent state
ment of the affair tonight, and will
be until after the inquest at noon
tomorrow before all the details will
be obtainable; all those present
agree, however, that the shooting
was accidental
Mr. Peoples was asked for a state
ment. and said he would make one
tomorrow.

CONGRESS LIKELY
TO HONOR GAILLIARD
work OF Late Canal Engineer APP
preCiated-SaCrifCed His
Life on Canal.

Washington Special to Charleston
News and Courier, Dec. 7.-Much
sympathetic attention has been at
tracted in Washington by the col
lapse Of Col. David DuBose Gailliard
Immediately after the close Of his
great work on the Panama cana. his
illness resisting all the efforts of the
ablest physicians and eliminating in
his death a few days ago.
Colonel Gailliard, as nearly every
body knows, was in charge of the
Culebra diision of the canal. His
problem was to dig the famous Guile
bra cut and overcome the landslides.
While there will be slides from time
to time at various places along the
route OF the interoceanic waterway,
as the report OF Colonel Goethals
warns, 1t is nevertheless beyond ques-
uon that the main battle has been
won and that the cessation OF the
slides is only matter OF time The
chief credit for this goes to the
South Carolina engineer. whose ner-
vous system gave way irretrievably
after the worst of the struggle was
over.
There is a peculiar pathos in the
manner in which Colonel Gailliard's
breakdown first manifested itself.
He had just accomplished the solu-
tion of what was regarded as the last
very difficult problem connected with
the completion Of his division. He
was taking a walk along the side of
the mighty excavation with a friend
contemplating the almost finished
achievement, whan all at once he
asked a question which startled his
companion by indicating utter ignor-
ance that such thing as the canal or
Panama existed.
In few more minutes il was an
parent that the coloners memory was
blank with regard to everything
that had occurred since he had come
TO the Isthmus. This remarkable
condition never changed; though, for
while, strange to say, the stricken
genius was able to recall clearly the
events and labors of his career prev
ious to his assignment to Panama.
All the circumstances of the case
prove that the man sacrificed his life
in this browning work as certainly
as ever a soldier did i'm battle-Oriv
in this instance the battle lasted fo'
years.
1t is taken for granted that Con
gress will suitably honor the memory
of Gailliard, hut just what form the
legislation will take remains to be
seen. If he had recovered he would
in all probability have received pro-
motion to the rank OF brigadier gen
eral.
