JUDGE MYSTERIOUSLY SHOT.
JlcCliice of Jjrtiiderdrtlt* Has an Ugly
Pistol Wound In llis Face.
Florence, Ala., April N.— A most
mysterious shooting affair, which oc
curred nearly a week ago, has just been
made public in this city. Asa conse
quence. Judge W. B. McClure, judge of
the probate court of Lauderdale county,
has an ugly pistol wound in his face and
is unable to attend to his duties at the
courthouse. Where and how the wound
was inflicted, and by whom the shot
was fired are a mystery which will prob
ably never be solved.
The most generally accepted theory
is that the shooting occurred in the east
ern portion of the city on Friday night,
but it did not become known until Tues
day when minors began circulating that
something of the kind had happened.
Judge McClure has given out a state
ment for publication to the effect that
lie was waylaid 2 miles from the city on
Thursday night last, and that two un
known parties attempted to assassinate
him, firing upon him from ambush in
the dark while he was driving along the
road.
Certain it is that the wound is there,
but the authorities are in doubt as to
the truth of the report being circulated
by McClure's friends. It is claimed
that one of the city policemen saw
Judge McClure after midnight on Fri
day night in a ten pin alley in the city,
ami if this is true it would have been'
possible tor him to have made the trip
he says he made.
The affair has created no end of ex
citement, and lias been the principal
topic of discussion on the streets for the
past tiiree nays. The police are investi
gating and it is believed that they have
an important clew and that arrests will
follow in a short time.
CANDLER NAiVIES A MAYOR.
St. 31 ary*s tin* Only I'uivii Known That
Does Not Elect Its Officers.
Atlanta, April B. —Governor Cand
ler has appointed anew mayor and
council for the little town of St. Mary’s,
in Camden county. The government of
the town ot St. Mary's is an oddity, not
only iu Georgia, but iu the United
States, and so lar as is known, there is
not another incorporated town any
where in the country that does not elect
its officers by the direct vote of the peo
ple or by the people’s representatives.
Once every year the governor of Geor
gia is called on to select a mayor for the
border town. This condition of affairs
is the result of a legislative enactment
passed when St. Mary’s was incor
porated. Situated on the Florida bor
der, St. Mary’s has a population com
posed largely of negroes, and to keep
the village in the hands of its white
citizens the legislature was asked to
make the provision regarding the mayor
and council when the charter was
granted.
In the spring of each year the citizens
of St Mary’s hold a massmeeting, at
which nominations for the position of
mayor and conncilmeu are made by ac
clamation. These nominations are for
warded at once to the chief executive of
the state, and it has come to be an un
written law for the governor to accept
the nomination of the people and
promptly appoint those who have been
suggested by the citizens of the town.
Sometimes when you have
lame back and feel poorly,
you stop working for the day.
But all you do is take the rest
and go right to work again when
the symptoms quiet down. That
is no way to head off a terrible
disease that is fastening its grip
upon you. Stop the first leak or
you lose the ship.

GRAND JURY TAKES ACTION.
Thirteen of the, Alleged Lake City
Lynchers Indicted.
Charleston, April B.—ln the United
States circuit court here, Judge W. H.
Brawley presiding, a true bill was found
by the grand jury against 13 of the men
accused of lynching Fraser B. Baker at
Lake City, S. 0., Feb. 22, 1893.
Fifteen men are under arrest, but no
explanation of the dropping of two
names from the indictment was given.
Before giving the case out, Judge
Brawley delivered an impressive charge.
He sketched in outline the offenses of
which the prisoners are accused and de
fined the duties of the jurors in the
premises. The crime was one of the
blackest ever perpetrated in South Caro
lina, he said, and it was the duty of the
government to prosecute to the fullest
extent any or all of the men who might
have been implicated in its commission.
It will be remembered that on the
night of Feb. *22, 1898, a mob went to
the house of Postmaster Fraser B. Ba
ker, a negro who was obnoxious to the
people of the town. Oil was toured on
i shavings piled against the house and
fire set to it. When Baker, his wife
and his children tried to eecape, he and
his infant daughter were killed, while
his wife and two other children were
seriously wounded by men shooting at
■ them from the woods.
The men indicted are: Martin Ward,
W. A. Bebster, Ezra McKnight, Henry
Stokes, Henry Godwin, Moultrie Epps,
Charles D. Jayuer, Oscar Kelly, Marion
Clark, Alouzo Rodgers, Edwin M.
Rodgers, Joseph P. Newham and Early
P. Lee, merchants and farmers of Lake
City and vicinity.
The last two men mentioned have
turned state’s evidence. The trial will
begin Monday.

EVIDENCE HEARD BY ROSS.
Spt ein 1 aster hi ih<* Southern Rail*
way Case Takes Testimony.
Macon, April 11. — Ex-Judge John P.
Ross of the city court of Macon, wiij
has been appointed by Judge Speer of
the United States court special master
in the case of the Macon Sash, Door and
Lumber company et. al. versus the
Southern railway, has commenced the
taking of testimony.
This case was instituted in July, 1897,
by a number of Macon shippers who
claimed in the bill filed that there was
no proper competition for Macon busi
ness by the railroads meeting at Macon
and that this was not a competent point
because nearly all the roads were con
trolled by the Southern, contrary to the
inhibition of the constitution of Georgia.
The main point involved is that the
Southern Railway company is in illegal
control of the various lines which are
now included in what is known a9 the
Southern system. Asa consequence of
this condition the complainants contend
that rates are made absolutely by the
Southern and that there i3 no such com
petition as would ensue if these lines
were independent in fact as well as dis
tinct in name.
The case is of exceeding importance,
from the fact that it brings so sharply
into question the right of one road to
buy or control another.
REBELS ATTACK OUR LINE.
Driven Off by Troops Under General
Wheaton After Losing Heavily.
Washington, April 11.— The follow
ing dispatch has been received from
General Otis:
“Insurgents attacked McArthur’s line
of railway communication last night in
considerable force; repulsed by Wheaton
with heavy loss. Wheaton’s casualties
three killed, 20 wounded.”
The attack of the insurgents upon the
railway north of Manila indicates to
war department officials that while
General McArthur was pushing north
bodies of insurgents took to the moun
tains and jungles to the right of the
railway, and have been watching an
opno rrunity to capture the road at some
point and thus cut off the main body of
the army to the northward. The re
pulse of the natives shows that they
bad not sufficient force to accomplish
their purpose.
A Hoy of Twelve Suicides.
Charlotte. N. 0., April 11.—News
reaches here of a peculiar suicide a few
miles from the city. Charles Love, ft
12 year-old boy, committed suicide by
hanging. He went to an old blacksmith,
took a small rope, tied the noose, then
tied the end of the rope to a beam and
hanged himself. His body was found
by bis parents several hours afterwards.
Death was caused by strangulation.
His parents are heart broken at the
affair and say they can think of no pos
sible cause for the deliberately planned
self destructiou.

A. Robbe, has been brought to a sur
prising termination by the withdrawal
of the former. The latter is the only

course, will be chosen.
