CASHIER WAS INSANE
Capt, Murphey Kills Bookkeeper
Sliutze and Suicides.
BLOODY TRAGEDY IN COLUMBUS, GA.
Victim of Demented Man Was Led To
Hi* Death Unsuspectingly— Both
l’artlea Were l’rominent.
At Columbus, Ga., Tuesday morn
ing, Captain John W. Murpliey, cash
ier of the Third National bank, while
in a state of temporary aberration shot
and killed P. T. Shutze, head book
keeper of the hank, and then commit
ted suicide.
Murpliey called Mr. Shutze into his
private office for the purpose of getting
him to write a letter. He then locked
the door, as was his custom, to insure
perfect privacy. Mr. Shutze had seat
ed himself at his typewriter and had
taken hold of a piece of paper when
Captain Murpliey, seized by some in
sane impulse, drew from his pocket a
thirty-eight caliber Smith & Wesson
pistol and shot his bookkeeper twice.
Both balls took effect in the head,
either one of which would have proven
fatal.
Before those within hearing of the
reports could realize whence they
came, Captain Murpliey turned the
smoking revolver upon himself, plac
ing the muzzle iu his mouth, and
pulled the trigger. The ball went to
a vital spot aud death was instanta
neous.
Shutze probably never knew what
struck him. When found he was still
in a lifeless position, sitting in the
chair, his hand still clutching his pa
per, only his head was slightly dropped
on his shoulder. When President G.
Gunby Jordan unlocked an outer door
and entered the room a few minutes
later he could hardly believe he was
dead aud called his name. But there
was no response. Almost within
touch Mr. Jordan observed Captain
Murphey lying in a puddle of blood
and brains, a horrible sight.
The homicide and suicide created
the most intense excitement and shock
ed the city profoundly. Both men
were prominent and popular, and the
news could not at first bo realized, as
it was known that the personal rela
tions of the two had been most pleas
ant.-
Captain Murphey had been suffer
ing with Bright’s disease for a year
and had not had anything to do with
the business affairs of the bank. It
had been evideut for several weeks
that his mind was not right.
The coroner’s jury, after a thorough
investigation, returned a verdict that
Captain Murphey killed both Mr.Shutz
and himself while irresponsible for his
acts.
Captain Murphey was sixty years of
age and had been cashier of the Third
National bank since it was organized.
He was born in Harris county. He
represented that county in the legisla
ture two terms. He was a captain in
the confederate service. He was
assistant state treasurer under J. W.
Renfro a number of years. Politically
he was very prominent.
Mr. Shutze was thirty-eight years
of age. He was born in Greenville,
Ga., and had been in Columbus eleven
years. He possessed business ability
of the highest order. President Jor
dan spoke of -him as one of the most
reliable, painstaking, competent, con
scientious men he ever saw. Mr.
Shutze was also secretary of the Co
lumbus Power Company and treasurer
of the Interstate Building and Loan
Association. He is survived by a wife
and three small children.
RATES WERE ADVANCED.
Bight of the Southern To Purchase S. C. &
O. I* Questioned.
Representative Evans, of Edgefield,
has introduced a resolution in the
South Carolina legislature,' providing
for inquiry into the right of the South
ern to acquire control over the South
Carolina and Georgia under the state
law prohibiting purchase or lease of
competing lines. The South Carolina
road operated a spur to Edgefield,
which is on the Southern. Mr. Evans
affirms that since the lease or purchase,
rates from Edgefield to Augusta have
advanoed from 90 to 100 per cent.

Bryan Wll* Be Asked to Make Imperial
ism and Trusts the Main Issues.
In connection with the approaching
visit of William Jennings Bryan to
New York, the evening Post of that
city says:
“It was learned today that great ef
fort will be made to induce Mr. Bryau
to speak while here on the lines indi
cated in recent interviews by Eliot
Danforth, chairman of the Democratic
state executive committee —that is, to
make imperialism and trusts the main
issues of the campaign and avoid giving
'indue prominence to the 16 to 1 issue.
BRITONS’ FEARS
NOT RELIEVED
By the Arrival la South Africa
of Lord Roberts.
THE WAR OFFICE IS SILENT
Movements of Buller a Hystery
and Suspense Is Great Regard
ing Safety of Ladysmith.
A London special under date of
January 15tli says: Lord Roberts’
enigmatical • announcement, "No
change in the situation,” does nothing
to allay publio anxiety or to explain
the mystery surrounding General Bul
ler’s movement on the Tugela river,
and although there is a disposition to
regard the dispatch as disposing of
Saturday’s adverse rumors, the week
has opened in a 6tate of suspense, al
most equal to that of last week, bo
cause it is recognized that failure in
General Buller’s present attempt
would seal the fate of Ladysmith.
Presumably "no change in the sit
uation” refers to previous dispatches
sent to the war office, which have not
yet been revealed to the public. Ex
cept the announcement of the seizure
of Potgleter’s Drift, and of ihe adr
vance of General Warren, there has
been no news from the Tugela for
a week. A ray of hope is in the fact
that the silence prevails from the
Boer side. Thus it may perhaps be
fairly inferred that General Buller has
not yet met a serious check.
If the announcement of General
Warren’s movement be correct, it is
evident that General Bulle'r’s forces
are spread over a very wide front—
perhaps twenty-five miles—and in the
event of a sudden fall of the river his
operations might be full of danger. It
is believed that General Buller has no
good survey map of the district. This
will add to his difficulties. General
Charles Warren’s advance probably
means an attempt to sieze Hangwane
hill, the main post of the Boers south
of the Tngela. Upon the success or
failure of these operations depends
the whole future of the campaign.
Until the result is known, Lord Hub
erts will be unable to decide how to
dispose the two divisions and the re
inforcements now arriving.
The news from other points is of no
great importance. Boer accounts tell
of another sortie from Kimberley,
January 9th, in the direction of Kam
fers dam, with a brief exchange of
firing, but no result. A heavy detona
tion was heard on January Bth within
Kimberley.
A dispatch to The Daily Mail from
Modder river, dated January 10th,
gives a rumor that Kimberley was be
ing bombarded.
Bastards Nek, mentioned in Lord
Boberts’ diipatch as the locality of
reconnaissance, is northwest of Coles
berg. . . , , . ,
Doubts are beginning to be raised
whether it will be possible to get to
gether anything like 10,000 yeomanry.
Only a very small percentage of the
applicants satisfy the standard of rid
ing and shooting. A large number of
officers from the Egyptian army have
just left Cairo for South Africa to re
place those killed and wounded.
NEWSPAPER MEN SHOT.
Denver Attorney Turn* Hl* Gun Upon
Owned of The I’ot.
At Denver,Col., Saturday, Frederick
C. Bonfils and H. H. Tammea, propri
etors of The Evening Post, were both
shot in their office by W. W. Ander
son, a prominent local attorney. It
is not believed that either was mortal
ly injured.
It is understood that Anderson ob
jected to something that had appeared
in The Post and demanded retraction
and that Bonfils and Tammen both
attempted to put him out of the office.
Then he commenced to shoot.
Frenchmen Take Possession.
The steamer Elf Branch brings news
from Shanghai that French warships
have taken possess.on of Kwong-Cahu-
Wah bay, where a boundary dispute
has been pending for several mouths
M’LAURIN HAS PNEUMONIA.
Retiring Governor of Mississippi Won’t
See Hl* Sncce*or Inaugurated.
A special from Jackson, Miss. say.s:
Governor McLariu has been confined
to his room at the executive mansion
for several with pneumonia. The
disease has affected both lungs and at
tending physicians repard the case as
very serious. This is the governor’s
third attack of the disease during the
past three years.
Owing to the governor’s illness con
sideral change is made necessary in
the arrangement for the inauguration
of his successer, Governor-Elect Lou
gino, as he will not be able to be pres
ent.
SAMPSON’S CLAIM.
Court Will Decide Whether He
Took Part In the Santiago
Naval Fight Or Not.
"And the attorney general avers that
all the herein above named vessels of
the king of Spain were sunk or de
stroyed on or about July 3, 1898, by
the libellant (Rear Admiral W. T.
Sampson), and the vessels under his
command.”
This is an extract from tho answer
just filed by Attorney General Griggs
to the libel filed iu the supreme court
of the District of Columbia by Rear
Admiral Sampson, in his owu behalf
and also in behalf of the officers and
enlisted force of the North Atlantic
station who took part in the Santiago
naval engagement against the lufauta
Maria Teresa and miscellaneous sailors
and supplies captured upon her and
other Spanish war vessels.
It forecasts the purpose of the de
partment of justice to support the
contention that the armored cruiser
New York actually participated in the
battle with Cervera’s fleet, and that
her addition to the force made it supe
rior to the Spanish squadrou. It is
expected that the court of claims and
the district supreme court will deter
mine the question of whether the
New York took part iu the battle, and
by its decision an end will be put to
the controversy which has been agi
tating the navy and tho country since
the battle occurred.

BERRY BANTERS BEVERIUUE.
Calls Incllanlan To Task For Remarks
Ma<lo In Imperialistic Speech.
In the Senate, Monday, Mr. Berry,
of Arkansas,’had read the resolution
offered by Mr. Bacon, of Georgia, and
also of Mr. Beveridge, of Indiana.
Those who desired to discuss the
Philippine question, he said, were met
by the objection that they were aiding
those who were in arms against the
United States and were responsible
for tho loss of life among our soldiers.
He regarded this position as absolute
ly unwarranted, and declared that no
man who was a man would be deter
red from speaking by charges that
were absolutely unfounded by facts.
Mr. Berry believed that the two res
olutions which he had had read from
the desk fairly represented the views
of the two great parties in this coun
try. He was certian that the resolu
tion of Mr. Beveridge reflected the
sentiment and feeling of the adminis
tration because it had been favorably
commented upon by the administra
tion speaker and newspapers through
out the country.
The resolution had been endorsed
he said, by the administration leaders,
yet it conferred an authority power
upon this country as absolute as was
possessed by the czar of Russia.
"What is imperialism,” Mr. Berry
asked, "if it be not the assertion of
such apporerw r er as is asserted by the res
olution of Mr. Beveridge?” He de
clared his unalterable opposition to
such a declaration, and believed the
people of the United States would not
approve so pluin a violation of the
constitution.
Mr. Berry referred to that part of
Mr. Beveridge’s speech in which the
Indiana senator hail asserted that God
had selected the American people as
His trustees, whose appointed work
was to extend to the Philippines and
the Filipinos the civilization and lib
erty with which the American people
as His chosen children woro to en
lighten the world. Mr. Berry did not
admit that the American people were
the trustees of the Lord ia the Philip
pine matter. He said that when men
asserted that they were the trustees of
the Lord he wanted some more sub
stantial proof of the assertion than
their own word.

Unique Situation Ke*ulta From Hines* al
Governor McLaurln, of .Mississippi.
At Jackson, Miss., Monday, Lieu
tenant Governor Harrison took the
oath of office of governor and imme
diately assumed the duties of the office
of governor, made necessary by the
illness of Governor McLaurin. The
Mississippi laws require the minor
Btate officers to be jworn in the day
prior to the inauguration of the gov
ernor, and before the minor officers
could be installed it was necessary to
have a governor to approve their offi
cial bonds. Lieutenant Governor Har
rison only acted as governor until
noon Tuesday.
