Whole4*i®r»'Md Ijitijlfr* > ' b wounded man died Wednesday morning. From all that can be learned ft seems that John Fulton and Freeman Partee, while playing cards last Thursday, be came involved In a difficulty, which was soon settled amicably, and they separa ted with apparent good-will towards each' other. But a woman, who has con trol over Partee, and who probably had some private spite against Fulton, per suaded the former that ho had not been treated fairly and that he should take revenge. Partee foolishly allowing himself to he influenced by the designing woman, went to Fulton’s house about S o’clock In the evening, and calling him to bis door, shot him, The pistol used was a .i8-callhro and in flicted a a terrible wound. Fulton lin gered until yesterday morning and then died from the effects of his hurt. Partee was arrested immediately after the shooting and lodged In jail in this city, where lie now awaits tbe action gf tbe grand jury in his case. The coroner’s jury, after an inquest held over the body yesterday afternoon, returned a verdict of “willful murder.” THE CORRECT TIME.

DEADLY DASH. Horrible Railroad Accident In Illlnola. Five Were Killed and Fifty Injured. Monmouth, Ill., October 21.—Five persons were killed and fifty or sixty in jured in a railroad wreck here at o’clock this morning od the Burlington road. Tbe Omaha and Denver fast express, which left Chicago last night, ran into an open switch and tbe entire train was thrown from the track. Engineer Emmerson and tbe traveling engineer of the road, who hail gone into tbe cab a half hour before, were killed outright. A lady passenger was found pinioned under the trucks of the sleeper, who evidently had been hurled through the window by the crash. Her body was crushed Into an unrec ognisable mass. Near her were a man anil woman, both dead under the sleeper. The train con sisted of three sleepers, two ehair cars, one smoker, one baggago, one express and two mail cars. Tbe sleepers were heavily loaded, as also the chair cars. The train was speeding along at forty-five miles an hour when it struck an open switch. Tbe engine dashed along for a few yards, when it turned over on tbe side, burying Engineer Emmerson, and a trav eling englncr of the road beneath it Emmerson was found with his feet touching tho fire-box. There was a deep wound in the head and his body was terribly crushed. After the engine left the track the bag gage and cars behind It also were hurled from the rail. Must of the passengers In the sleepers lud retired, and the first Intimation they had of the danger was when tbe coaches crashed against each other. Men, women and children were hurled from their berths. The lights went out, leaving the cars in total darkness. A terrible panic ensued, anil the women screamed frantically for assist ance. It is said none of the pnssongers in the sleepers were killed, but many aie severely injured. ONE IS VETOED And the Other Signed l»y the Governor Insurance Bill Signed, School Bill Vetoed.

The pacer Johnston may be turned over toSplan again. It was Splan who gave him his record of 2:06)1 at Chicago over the West Side track.

P®* 3 * A resident of Parker’s Ford, Pa., is said to have a ring dove which in 21 years old, and has been in one cage all its life. The jelly flsh hasn’t any teeth, but user himself just as if he were a piece of papei when he is hungry, getting his food and then wrapping himself aliout it. It Is said that n red fox guards the barn yard of a farmer in Butler county. Pa., and the cbidkens and geese are perfectly safe from thieves when he is around. The greatest bird cage on the continent Is said to be the Grand Central railroad station in New York. The noisy English sparrows swarm there by thousands and nest in the great arching roof girders. Australia has some gigantic caterpillars. Mr. A. 8. Orliff, of Sidney, mentions one moth larva, abundant during the Mummer, which is from seven to twelve inches long. Species are numerous which vary from six to eight inches In length. It has been found impossible to keep os triche* alive in the London "Zoo.’* Their omnlveroue throat** diiterimfnnte against nothing, sod poisonous coppers which mis chievous people feed them are an eagerly devoured as any other delicacy A veritable curiosity has licon captured In Africa. It is an elephant larger than the late lamented Jumbo, peagreeti in color, trunWess and has tusks that branch out something like the horns of a deer, it la in possession of a native king, who will not part with it. It is reported that a shark nearly t wenty four feet In length was recently caught in the harlwr of Panama. The skin was about half an Inch thick. It was captured hy a harpoon throwu from a steamer, and the 1 whs turned completely Around by the powerful flsh when tint made fast. Ten species of North American birds are put down by the ornithologists as "miss iug.’* Of these, two—the great auk and the laAbrador duck—are believed to have become extinct within the memory of liv ing men. Perhaps representatives of the other eight will yet be found. Most of them are very diminutive. A curious fish was recently caught at Atlantic City, struggling in the surf close to the shore. It was about five feet long, with big fins, more like flippers, fore and aft, and an immense mouth armed with four rows-of teeth. The body was flat, after tbe order of the flounder, and its skin brown and ns coarse as sandpaper. It weighed ISO pounds. PRESIDENT OF JAMES FRICKER & BRO. 409 Jackson St- AMERICUS, O-a, H.L. MOMATH.
