CITY INTELLIGENCE.
A DUEL TO TIIE DEATH.
>KPUTY SHERIFF BISHOP KILLS GEORGE
! SHELTON NEAR FLORENCE.
Xews reached the city yesterday of the
j.jfli„,r of a negro named George Shelton,
near Florence, Ga.,.by Mr. J. Munroe
liishop, Deputy Sheriff of Kussell county,
■Via.
It seems that Shelton had been indicted
for some crime committed in Russell
county several years ago. He fled the
country and could not be located until a
short time ago, when the officer ascertained
that he was near Florence.
Late Tuesday afternoon Shelton was
located in a house just on the Georgia side
( if the river. Officer Bishop, accompanied |
by two citizens of Jernigan, went over to j
the house and the officer started in, leav- j
ing the other men on the outside. As Mr. ]
Bishop looked in the door he saw four |
men playing cards, and rocognized one of !
them as Shelton, the man he wanted, j
Shelton also recognized the officer, and as
soon as he did so drew his pistol and be-
1'iui firing upon him. Mr. Bishop returned
ihi* fire and both men continued to shoot
until their weapons were emptied. Shel
ton was kill- d during the encounter, four]
bullets entering his body.
The other three negroes in the room ran j
as soon as the firing began.
Mr. Bishop went to his home at Seale j
Tuesday night and returned to Florence
yesterday to attend the inquest. He was I
accompanied by Sheriff Henry Ragland,
Hon. Lymon \V. Martin and Hon. J. V.
Smith.
Florence is remote from a telegraph
station and the result of the inquest could
not be learned last night.

was from 8:30 to 12 o’clock
last night. The handsome resi
dence of Dr. Hurt was beautifully
decorated and briliiautly illuminated, and
quite a large number of invited guests
were present. Supper was spread at 11
o'clock Iasi night, and a most tempting
menu was served. The evening passed off
delightfully, and pleasant memories of the j
happy occasion will linger long with all
those who were present.

their friends here wish them much happi-
ness.
PARNELL* S ANCESTRY REFERRED TO,
Dublin, December 34.—At a meeting of
the McCarthyite committee held here to- j
day, Michael Davitt denied that the priests |
had used intimidating tactics during the |
campaign, or while the voters were being j
polled in North Kilkenny. He described j
Parnell as being a descendant of a “com
mon Cromwellian soldier,” who was now
attempting to destroy Ireland.
Mr. Healy said that the league funds in
Ireland were overdrawn to the extent of
A2,000, as the bulk of the money credited
to the league was locked up in Paris.
Healy added that a compromise arrange
ment between Parnell and his opponent
was out of the question, and that the lat
ter would fight to beat Parnell on every
platform.
ACQUITTED OF MURDER.
Washington, December 24.—-The jury j
in the case of Frank M. Ward, for many |
years a well-known man about town, and
who during the last two weeks, has been |
on trial here charged with the murder of j
Maurice Adler, tonight, after a short ab
sence. brought in a verdict of not guilty.
The killing, which created a sensatioD at i
the time, took place in the Marble Saloon,
on Pennsylvania avenue, June 19, 1889. j
A TRAFFIC CONTRACT
BETWEEN THE GEORGIA MIDLAND
AND COLUMBUS SOUTHERN.
THE TWO ROADS TO BE OPERATED AS ONE
LINE—MR. G. GUNBY JORDAN
IS TO BE MANAGER OF
BOTH ROADS.
Yesterday morning a reporter of the
Enquirer-Sun heard rumors to the effect
that a change would be made, in the next
few days, in the working arrangements of
the Columbus Southern railway officers,
and to ascertain the truth of the reports,
undertook to get at the real facts in the
case. The officials in the Columbus
Southern railway office could only inform
him that they had been advised, unoffi
cially, that such an arrangement had been
made. Whereupon Information was sought
from Mr. Jordan, general manager of the
Georgia Midland road. From him the re
porter learned several facts which may be
of interest to the public, and they are pre
sented herewith:
“Mr. Jordan, is it true that any agree
ment has been reached between the Geor
gia Midland and Columbus Southern rail
roads looking to the operating of the two
lines as one?”
“Yes, the preliminaries have been agreed
upon, but fctbere has been no
formal or official agreement made
as yet; but it is confidently expected
that on January 1st, 1890, the authority of
the Georgia Midland officers will be ex
tended over the Columbus Southern Rail
road.”
“By what arrangement is this made?”
“Only by traffic contract. The direc
tors of the Columbus Southern Railroad
will probably elect or appoint me as
general manager of their road, and both
roads preserve individuality and will be
separate as now.”
“What is the object in this arrangement
then?”
“It is made simply in the interest of
economy, and to give the public better
service, and I trust will accomplish both
of these purposes.”
“Are there to be any new arrangements
made that the public are interested in?’’
“I can state that I have obtained the
consent of the parties who own the Colum
bus Southern road to immediately con
struct several new depots and improve
their terminals at either end, and put in
such necessary facilities as will promptly
and expeditiously handle their business
and build up their local traffic.”
“Any new schedules.”
“We expect to have such a daylight
schedule on the road as will insure comfort
and convenience, specially to the local pas
senger traffic of the road, and such addi
tional features as I hope will continue to
keep the road popular and build up the
section through which it runs.”
“Have you any objections to stating the
points at which new stations will be
built ?”
“No; I think I can confidently promise
that within six months; the Columbus
Southern will have new stations at Oebil-
lee, Gobler’s Hill, Renfroe’s, Pearson’s,
Sasser, Oakland and Albany, aud what
ever needed conveniences will be neces
sary to properly handle business in Colum
bus, Ga.
“Anything else we can say about this
matter now?”
“No; it is premature to say anything
about it, as the directors of the*two roads
have not yet met to confirm the contract,
but I suppose they will unhesitatingly do
so, as it is entirely in the interest of both
companies, which have been working
friendly together since the completion of
the Columbus Southern road.”
Besides this, it is learned that probably
on Friday the officials of the Midland
road will inspect the Southern railway,
and make such other suggestions as may
he of service to the public and the property.
Both these roads have been doing a
large and constantly increasing business,
and, as everybody knows, both are splen
didly built and well equipped. This new
move will make both properties more
closely connected, and result iu considera
ble saving to the inventors in securities of
both railways.
The Enquirer-Sun congratulates the
people of Columbus and the two properties
upon the veiy sensible arrangement which
has been perfected.

SMALL DEPOSITORS FRIGHTENED,
AND MAKE A RUN ON A WISCONSIN
RANK.
Green Bay, Wis., December 24.—Dur
ing the last two days there has been a run
on the Kellog National Bank, of this city.
It was reported that the bank had failed,
and there was a heavy run on the savings
department by small depositors, but busi
ness men continued making deposits, and
confidence has been restored.
A THREATENED STRIKE.
Brussels, December 24.— The coal
mining companies throughout the district
today came to the decision that, on and
after December 30, there must be a gen
eral reduction of wages of their employes.
This step has been contemplated for some
time past, and preparations have been
made, Doth by the companies and the work
men, in regard to the possible out
come of the policy now determined upon.
The coal companies having made the first
move in this new struggle between capital
and labor, it is considered certain that the
miners federation will almost immediately
renew the agitation of the past. As a
commencement, the federation has issued
a proclamation to the effect that a general
strike will be ordered unless Parliament
so revises the constitution to give the
miners protection against arbitrary action
upon the part of the companies.
THE world’s CHAMPION SKATER.
London, December 24—John O’Bon-
oghu, of Newburg, N. A*., an amateur

the course, one mile aud a half, in four
minutes and forty-six seconds, beating the
world's record.
MONEY FOR IRELAND.
Chicago, December 24.—John V.
Clark, president of the Hibernian bank,
cabled today to the joint treasurers, Alfred
Webb and Dr. Kenny, Dublin, £1250. The

from the Dillon-O'Brien mass meeling
held in this city at Battery D's armory.
