At 2 a. m., at the bunk house of the Carnegie steel works at Homestead,Max Newman, of New York, shot and killed a man supposed to be Maynard. Newman Surrendered Himself. He said: “I came from New York, and am working in the Thirty-two-inch mill. While sleeping, I was suddenly awakened by a severe blow in the face. I sat up, but was knocked backward by another blow. I jumped from bed and my assailant jumped after me, Will Treat Them Right.—Some of the negroes have been heard to remark that they didn’t kuow what the whit* folks were going to do with them now that Cleveland was elected. The Dem ocrats simply intend to run this gov ernment to the best interests of the masses of the people and no class of cit izens will receive more benefits from Democratic rule than the negroes. A Runaway Horse.—A horse ran away Saturday evening that came near proving fatal to one or more parties in the buggy. Mrs Isa Barrett was out driving with three of her little chil dren, and two daughters of Mr Ramsey. The horse became frightened at a train on the G. C. & N. and ran away and turned the buggy over on the occu pants. Lillian Ramsey’s arm was quite seriously and Mrs Barrett badly hur... Mr. Winn, being close by came to theii xescue. Marriage at W intk^ville.—Wic- tervilie was the scene if a happy mar riage yesterday afternoon in which Mi. T. J. Kerlin was joined in the holy bonds of wedlock to Miss Wessie Flei- mau. The marriage occurred yesterdav afternoon at five o’clock at the resi dence of the bride’s uncle, Mr. R. B* Matthews, the ceremony being pei- foruied by Rev. R. B.O. England. Both 3 oung people are well known and have hosts of friends who showered pongrat- ulatioiis upon them. ‘He Cried Out to Stand Back, “w he would shoot. He closed on me and struck me a stunning blow in the face. I fired, and without a word the stranger dropped. I don’t know who he is.” The bullet entered Maynard’s brain from behind the left ear. Later it was learned that Coyne is the name of the victim of Newman’s bullet. Coyne was drunk, and mistook for his own room that occupied by Newman and his four companions. Covne failed to answer when addressed, and stagger ed against Newman’s cot The shoot ing then occurred. Another Shooting Scrape occurred but fortunately without fatali ties. A number of non-union negroes attended a “social” at the African M, E. church. Their presence was not de sired, but although threats were made no outbreak occurred ui til the audience was dismissed. As the obnoxious men emerged they were assaulted by a num ber of men of the congregation. The crowd speedily sought places of safety. A dozen shots were exchanged, but without serious result. The Strike is Still On. The members of the Homestead advi sory board repudiate the statement that their conference in Pittsburg was for the pnrjwse of declaring the strike off. They say they intended to fight so long as there is a ray of hope of thei winning. soma Foolish People Allow a cough to run until it get-> be yond the reach of medicine.

The Georgia Agricultural Society Sore on Macon. Macon, Gk, Nov. 16.—The Georgia State Agricultural Society meets in an nual session February next. This meeting will be one of the liveli est and business will be transacted of a great deal ol importance to the society and of a nature that has bearing on the city of Macon, ▲ mighty effort will he made to get from under the contract the society has with the city of Macon. It the society can in any way they will get out of the contract that compels them to hold their fairs in Maoon and they will probably find some exouse for whatever steps they take in that direc tion. A prominent member of the society said that they have been treated shame fully by the citizenB of Maoon. In ex plaining this he said the merchants, with bat one or two exceptions, didn’t show the least interest in the recentfsir and unless the society has the fall co operation of the citizens of Macon it is a loss of time and money to the society to continue holding fairs in Macon. Other cities, said he, are offering, ns all kinds of inducements. They made these offers before the last contract was signed with the city of Macon, bat the majority of the society then thought Maoon was the established place and preference was given to Macon. There is no prospect for us if the fairs are held herein the future. Be sides not receiving the support of the Macon people we are checkmated by ontsidd people telling us the Macon merchants don’t want the fair. Mm Important Gathering In Haw York to Consider Rate*. New York, Nov. 16.—A meeting of presidents in the Southern Railway and Steamship association is in session here. EL B. Plant of the Charleston aud Sa vannah, is president. The committee was appointed to con- aider what had best be done to insure a maintenance of the rates. The com mittee will probably suggest that the executive committee be made of the presidents instead of the traffic mana gers. It is said the disturbance in rates has arisen largely from the too great power given to freight agents. The meeting will probably last for a week, when the traffic managers will meet to hear the result and take what ever action may be necessary. Desk Menu lecturer* Meet.

A Proposed A teiety for tho Prevention of Younger Brother*. Suddenly appointed to the bookkeeper- ship of a prominent soap firm, Augustus De Wolf had availed himself of the oppor tunity offered to make a display suited to the occasion. Accordingly, in a spick and span new buggy, with a dashing pair of horses, he drove up to her door to take her for & drive in the park, and two little boys were 'prepared for him, though he knew it not. Unsuspiciously Augustus let them hold the horses while he weDt indoors to salute his inamorata. He had the necessary dime spare, which he presumed was the ob jective point of their unusual courtesy and accommodativeuess. When the young pair emerged from the palatial residence one young brother stood the horses’ heads while the other, who had made a hasty visit to the back of the premises, now stood ready to swath the young couple when they had mounted. Such politeness was so uncalled for and unexpected that he turned the presenta tion dime into a quarter. With a superbly condescending smile he waived the horse holder aside, and with elbows squared and the grande tenue of a prince he moved majestically forward on lis way. But he was a little surprised. As for her, she became suddenly indig nant. The looks of envy and admiration which they furtively sought in the faces ‘ the passersby were not forthcoming. On the contrary, every one smiled broadly and some broke into rude and boisterous laughter. It was inexplicable. He grew hot in the collar and unhappy. They scanned each other coldly for the telltale smut or smudge which might ex plain the situation. But both were immaculate in personal appearance. And so they might have gone on for an hour in blissful ignorance of the unknown joke. But the air was too exhilarating. A strangled yell of triumph behind them caused her to looki round. Then she grabbed at the reins and the horses came to an abrupt halt, while two abandoned little buccaneer brothers rushed forward and unhooked their little wagon from the hind axle, and covered with mud and happiness beat a hasty retreat. Womanlike, she visited all her available wrath upon Augustus’ unlucky shoulders. It should have been a glorious ride, but it was not. She made him pay the expenses of her lost dignity all the way home. Augustus thinks the young American brother an irritating and unnecessary wart on the face of nature. And that is why he proposes to get up a society for the prevention of younger broth ers.—San Francisco Cali. PECULIAR ERUPTION All Over His Little Body. Pain Night and Day. Best Doctors Baffled. .

One day the landlord announced that a nephew of his, a young man just over from England, was coming up for a few weeks’ sport, and he guessed we’d find him pretty near a dandy on the shoot. Well, pretty soon the young fellow ar rived, and our first glimpse of him decided everything. The boys said they didn’t be lieve he had ever seen a wild duck, much less shot one. “He was one of your swell huuters, all togged out in corduroy jacket and high top boots, with one of those patent reversible fore and aft caps and a pair of eyeglasses astride his nose. He showed up his gun—a double barreled pistol grip thing, and blowed a pile on its fine qualities and of tbe wonderful execution he could do with it. “Would he go after ducks with us in the morning! ’Oh, yaas, he fahncled’ he would, though it wouldn’t be much sport; he was accustomed to shooting woodcock, and ducks flew so beastly slow. “Well, we fixed up things among our selves that night. We picked out some of our oldest decoys and anchored them oat in a bayou a short distance from shore, then turned in for the night. “Our friend was np bright and early next morning and was anxious to show his skill. We made some excuse about not being quite ready, bat told him that if he would go over to yonder bayou he might get a shot before breakfast. He put off with much splashing of paddles and great show of caution and was soon out of sight in the reeds. Allowing him time to reach our decoys, we followed and soon heard the sharp bang! bang! of his gun. Before we coaid reach him we heard another double report. Exploding with laughter at the success of oar scheme we hastened to the spot.” “Did he fill the decoys with lead!” “Not Say, he had bagged four as pretty canvas backs as yon ever saw.”—Detroit Free Press.
