SHOT DOWN IN HIS STORE.
The Victim's Only Offense Defense of
His Three Wives.
Be Answered a Slurring Remark
About Them by Asserting That They
Were All Ladies. Despite the Fact
That He Lived Unhappily With
Them Further Words Followed by
Shooting.
Way-cross, Ga.. Oct. 16. —"William I).
McNeill, son of W A. McNeill, shot and
seriously wounded Moses Spence late last
night. Mr. Spence was seen this morn
ing at his residence. He was lying on his
right side and appeared to be suffering a
great deal from his wound. He said he
was waiting on a customer at his store
near the convict camp last night about 10
O’clock, when McNeill and lion Faison
walked in. They began to talk on some
trivial subject, and finally McNeill told
him he was nobody,and that he had always
married such sorry women that be could
not live with them. “I replied that al
thogh I had been married three times and
had not lived happily with my wives still
1 was satisfied that they were all ladies,
and I was proud to say so. McNeill con
tinued his talk about my family affairs
and I told him that 1 did not care to hear
any more of it. McNeill and Faison then
went out together. After a short time
they returned. McNeill held in his hand
a breech-loading shot gun. I was busy
behind the counter. Without saying a
word. McNeill took deliberate aim at me
and fired, the load entering my body be
tween the shoulder blades. I was
unarmed. Before I fell another load was
fired into my back, which threw me down.
I was unconscious. I understand that a
negro, who witnessed the whole affair,
came behind the counter and pulled ray
clothes off, which had by this time caught
fire from the gun wadding. Drs. Walker
and Redding soon arrived, and I was
taken to my Dome, and my wounds were
Pressed by the two physicians.’’
McNeill when he was asked what he
had to say about the affair, refused to
talk about it. He admitted, however, that
be fired the gun. but said that he
intended to shoot over Spence’s head
just to scare him. He said that Spence
shot at him twice with a pistol, but did
not bit him.
Spence denies the statement of McNeill.
The case came up this morning before
Judge Williams in the county court.
Spence was unable to attend the trial
end the case was continued until next
Monday.
McNeill is a young man in his teens.
His father furnished a bond for ♦SOO for
his appearance at court.
ACCIDENTAL MURDER.
A Brunswick Jury Brings In a Ver
dict That Deserves a Booby Prize.
Brunswick, Ga.,Oct. 36.—The coroner’s
jury to-day, on the murder of Curry last
night, added a farcical act to the tragedy
by rendering a verdict of “accidental
murder.” The jury, as a whole, was not
composed of representative citizens, but
it was the best the officer could get under
the circumstances. The verdict has sub
jected the jurors to bitter denunciation
on the streets to-day. Justice Coker, who
got out of a sick bed to hold the inquest,
stated to the Mousing News corre
spondent that he told the Jury, when they
handed in the verdict, that it was non
sensical, foolish and unknown to law. He
advised them to let the lawyers say
whether it was accidental or not.
Sheriff Berrie expressed surprise at the
verdict.
Assistant Chief of Police Robert lat vizor,
who was mainly instrumental in captur
ing the murderer, said tho jury acted
strangely.
Chief Beach could see no sense in the
verdict.
The murder was cold blooded, and some
of the witnesses before tho jury did not
stick to the, truth. Ben Hansen, the
chief witness, whose name was given as
Olsen last night, told so many untruths
that Justice Coker sent him to jail. Un
officially Judge Coker denounced the
jury’s verdict in unmistakable terms.

| SESSION OF THE HOUSE.
Sorrow Over the Death of the Chap
lain Expressed.
The Senate’s Amendment to Mr.
Houk's Resolution of Thanks to For
eign Governments Adopted The
Engrossing by Hand of Bills and
Resolutions to bo Abandoned -Mr.
Hopkins Makes a Strong Speech in
Support of the Bankruptcy Bill.
Washington. Oct. 26.—Rev. Smithson,
of this city, who delivered the invoca
tion in the House to-day, referred, iu the
course of his prayer, to the death of the
House chaplain, Rev. Samuel W. Hadda
way, of Maryland, which occurred this
morning. later on Mr. Richardson, of
Tennessee, offered the following resolu
tion:
Resolve 1. That the House has learned,
with profound sorrow, of th : death of Chap
lain Haddaway. and as a mark of respect that
the speaker appoint seven members to
attend the funeral services.
The resolution was adopted, and the
speaker appointed Messrs. Compton, of
Maryland, Richardson, of Tennessee,
Dingley, of Maine, Kyle, of Mississippi,
Cockrell, of New Hampshire, and Cobb,
of Alabama. The Senate amendment to
Mr. Houk's resolution, extending the
acknowledgments of the United States to
foreign governments for their participa
tion in the world's fair, was adopted.
HAND WORK TO BE ABANDONED.
Mr. Richardson, of Tennessee, from the
joint committee to investigate expendi
tures in the executive department, pre
sented a joint resolution to abandon, at
the opening of the regular session, the
present system of engrossing and en
rolling bills and resolutions by hand, and
have them printed. The resolution was
passed.
The discussion of the bankruptcy bill
was then resumed, Mr. Boatner, of
Louisiana, taking the floor. Stripped
of sentiment, passion and vituperation,
this bill, he said, was a simple proposition,
first, to permit persons encumbered with
more debt than they can pay to come into
court, surrender their property and be
honorably absolved; second, that an In
solvent person who seeks to defraud his
creditors shall be judged a bankrupt,
its first pun>ose is iu the interest of the
debtor class, its second to protect mer
chants from fraudulent failures. Mr.
Boatner proceeded With his argument un
der a running fire of questions from
Messrs. Bailey, of Texas, Denson, of Ala
bama, and Ray, of New York.
Mr. Kyle, of Mississippi, opposed the
bill. This was a biil to secure the whole
salers for the debts of country mer
chants.
A STRONG SPEECH FOR THE BILI,.
Mr. Hopkins, of Illinois, interrupted to
state that all wholesalers did not favor
the bill.
Mr. Warner, of New York, supported
the bill. Under the present situation of
affairs, said he, the honest debtor has no
way under heaven to rid himself of the
incubus of past misfortunes, except ho
obtains the consent of every one of his
individual creditors. Such a state of af
fairs exists in no other country on the
globe. A hundred years ago the
federal government absolutely pro
hibited the states from enact
ing bankruptcy laws. The federal
government assumed the duty, and that
duty now remains unperformed. The
largo merchants of the country, whose
prosperity depended upon their being
able to do business in all parts of the
country, had the alternative of watching
rumors in all parts of the country, and
being ready to rush in as soon as a " debt
or's credit wasaquestioned, or to suffer
almost entire loss-when their customers
were driven into insolvency. This situa
tion was intolerable. The creditors had
rights as well as the debtors, qnd the
rights of both should be subserved.
The bankruptcy act of Iso7 had been ben
eficent to 'thousands, and had given them
a chance to start anew. The fact that
such a law was on the statute books had
forestalled attempts at fraud. It was tho
duty of tliis House to discharge its con
stitutional prerogatives and place a fair,
just and equitable bankruptcy law on the
statute books.
Mr. Brosius, of Pennsylvania, s[ioke in
favor of the bill, and at the. conclusion of
his remarks the Houso, at 4:45 o’clock
p. m., adjourned.
FLAMES IN A PENITENTIARY.
Nebraska Loses SBO,OOO and the Con
tractors $200,000.
Lincoln, Nob., Oct. 26.—Between 5 and
6 o’clock this evening, word was sent to

The building is four miles south of the
city, but the fire department was soon on
tho way, and escorted by thousands of
people who crowded the street car linos,
and blocked the way with private vehicles.

phoned in from the scone until it was
generally credited that the penitentiary
was being destroyed, and the unfortunate
inmates roasted alive. At one time it was
given out that fifty had perished. It was
two hours before the straight story could
be learned.
BROKE OUT IN THE FOUNDRY.
The fire bi-oke out in the foundry de
partment of the Lincoln Stove and Fur
nace Company, just before 6 o'elocK. B.v
this time all tho convicts had been
counted and put to bed in their cells. The
building was entirely consumed. It was
owned b.v the state, entailing a loss to the
public ol iso,ooo. The contractors will lose
nearly *200,000 on product and machinery,
although how much the loss will be can
not be actually stated to-night. Only par
tial insurance was carried. The peniten
tiary proper was untouched. Work in
the prison shops will be interfered with
for some days, owing to the cutting off of
power on the steam connections.

hearers and caused them to break forth
in vociferous cheers time and time again.
After the speaking Col. O’Ferrall re
paired to Murphey’s. where he was sere
naded by the First Virginia Regiment and
the Howitzers, who appeared in full uni
form, bearing their muskets or swords and
stepping to martial music. Col. O’Fer
rall acknowledged the compliment by
makings few remarks from a front win
d°w. During the music the streets were
lighted with pyrotechnics, while everand
anon the reverberation of a cannon could
be heard. Col. O'Ferrall leaves the city
to morrow morning for Augusta county,
where he will speak.
