TROUBLE IN M’RAE, GA.
ONE MAN KILLED AND TWO OTHERS SE
VEUELY WOUNDED.
Saturday night was a tragic evening ic
the town of McRae, Ga. One of her citi¬
zens bleeding from a severe stab in the
abdomen, another iying stiff in death
from a pistol shot through the bowels,
and still another bleeding from a shot in
the leg. While the evening mail was
being distributed a disturbance arose in
the postoffice between Mr. Wash Lancas¬
ter, bis two sons, Wright and John, and
a young man named Clark. The result
was that Clark was beaten pretty badly.
Clark was taken out of towD, and all
thought the matter was ended. But few
minutes had elapsed when every one was
startled by the rapid firing of pistols.
Six of Talfair’s prominent citizens
defied each other with but a few
feet of dirt intervening — three Lan¬
casters, father and two sons on the one
side, and the three McRaes, Edward,
John and Frank, two brothers and a
cousin on the other. When the cloud ol
smoke had cleared away it was found
that Mr. Ed McRae had been seriously
cut in the left side, and that Mr. Wash
Lancaster had been shot in the abdomen
and his son Wright iu the leg. There
are no more prominent families in this
section of the country than the Lancas
ters or McRaes. Each have held offices
of trust and honor in this county, and
deep is the regret on every side that this
tragedy occurred.
A ‘'DRAW” VERDICT.
THE HOWARD JURY RETURNS A VERDICT
OF ONE CENT DAMAGES.
After being out two days, the jury in
the celebrated Howard damage suit at
Jackson, Miss., on Friday returned a
verdict for plaintiff, giving him one
cent damages. The plaintiff seemed
somewhat disappointed, but the
defendants are pleased with. the
result. This suit was begun nearly
three years ago by the Rev. Frederick
Howard, D. D., against sixteen lead¬
ing Baptists and three newspapers. He
was charged with being under an as¬
sumed name and a “mass of corruption.”
The case will be handed down as one of
the most celebrated in the history of
Mississippi. Depositions were taken on
three continents to establish the charge
of identity. The town, county and sur¬
rounding communities have been greatly
interested in the result, as well as Bap¬
tists throughout the country, one of the
defendants, Dr. J. R. Graves, having
more than a national reputation, and all
being prominent citizens. The case will
not be appealed, and the people are glad
it is ended.
CIRCUS SWEPT AWAY.
A. CIRCUS WIPED OUT OF EXISTENCE—
SEVERAL*LIVES LOST.
A dispatch from Parkersburg, W. Va.,
says: Further details of the disastrous
floods iu Wirt county have been received.
The brother of Thomas Hughes, whose
wife and children were drowned Sun¬
day, arrived from Pittsburg to assist in
the care of his brother, who is dyiug
from injuries received. Thomas Black”
who lived close to the Hughes family,
and who was drowned with his wife,
had but recently been married. A cir¬
cus cloud-burst was showing on Tucker creek when
the struck that section. The
flood struck the show just after ijie per¬
formance began and tore the canvas to
shreds, utterly wrecking and ruining the
whole concern, carrying off horses, wag¬
ons and tents. M’Alma, who performed
ou the trapeze, was drowned. It is re¬
ported that some employes also lost theii
lives, but the whole section of country
where the misfortune occurred is still in
such confusion that it is impossible to
get full particulars. Saulsbury, on the
Big Taigart river, is virtually wiped out
of existence.
MONEY IN POTATOES.
IMMENSE PROFIT FROM ONE AND A HALF
ACRES—HOW IT IS MADE.
Moses L. Petty, of Ophir, Ga., is a
grand success as a potato raiser—sweet
or Irish, lie plants and cultivates a po¬
tato crop every year, because, as he says:
“It is a lazy man’s crop.” He says it can
be matured at less cost and labor with
better results than any other. He has
one and one-half acres in Irish potatoes
this year from which he expects to gather
not less than 600 bushels. Now multi¬
ply this by the probable amount per
bushel he will get, and you will see what
the acre and one-half will bring him—
certainly a great deal more than any other
like amount of ground will bring
planted in corn or cotton, or sowed iu
wheat or oats, or almost any crop you
cau name. He selects the early n se or
Goodrich, prepares his land well, ma¬
nures freely with st.ib'e manure and un¬
slacked lime, plants deep for a long root,
and then leaves the seedlings to grow
and get in their work. The result is al¬
ways satisfactory, as the crop nets him
well at a small outlay of work and ex
pense.

A STARTLING THEORY
THAT TIIE MANY WUIITECHAPEL MURDERS
WERE COMMITTED BY A WOMAN.
A startling and appalling story relat¬
ing to the Whitechapel atrocities, comes
from London, England, and if it proves
true, it will show that the really sensa¬
tional elements of the horrible crimes
have either heretofore been unknown to
the police, or, if known, have been suc¬
cessfully suppressed from the
public until now. The perpetra¬
tor of the Whitechapel butch¬
eries is a woman, so the story goes. It
is stated that this allegation is not based
on a theory, but a fact. The letters
3igned signed by JackjJ the Ripper, were thus
to lead to the supposition that the
murderer was a man. Great surprise has
been expressed at the fact that so many
murders could be committed in such a
thickly populated locality as is the
East End, and that the man who did the
killing could escape, especially as all of
the fallen women of London have been
on their guard for months past. The
murderess could approach a woman with¬
out being suspected, because she was a
woman herself. She could discuss the
murders with her dissolute companions,
and on the pretense of illustrating
how the butcheries were committed
would pass her left arm around the vic-
tem’s head, covering the eyes and pulling
her head back with the one hand while
she drew her knife across the throat with
the other. It is asserted that the fact
that the killer was a woman was devel¬
oped by harlot an unsuccessful attempt to mur¬
der a in Whitechapel,-made within
the last few days, and the arrest of the
would-be perpetrator, who is said to be a
Spanish or an Italian woman, whose mo¬
tive was to murder all the fallen women
she could, in the hope that by so doing
she would remove the one that had
aroused her jealousy, she not being posi¬
tive as to the exact woman who had
charmed her lover from her side. In ad¬
dition, it is alleged that the tigress mu¬
tilated the corpses of those she killed in
order to further satisfy her crazy desire
for revenge.
EIGHT PEOPLE KILLED.
A BUILDING BLOWN DOWN, KILLING EIGHT:
PERSONS AND WOUNDING FOUR OTHERS.
A terrible storm raged in Chicago
Saturday night in which an unfinished
building, iu process of construction at

outright, and four badly wounded. The
killed are: Miss Amelia Buch, 39 years
old; Auna Buch, 8 years old; Albert
Buch, 6 years old; Cornelius Ferdi-
naches, blacksmith, 33 years, and hi-
wife, and Cora, Alida and Lei, their
