THK LEFT BIND FOOT Of aOravarerd Rabolt FoIiIm! .Crisp Into the Spralnr*. Chair. Thu left bind foot of the graveyard rabbtt played a conspicuous role In the speakership drama on which the curtain baa just closed. There is an old ditty running: "LIUls drops ofwatrr, t.lttle (rains of sand, M ate the mighty ocean And the pleasant land.” This bears on the rabbit toot In so much that It thows bow often a small and apparently insignificant trifle will work miracles. Everybody In Americus knows Amos Cummings, the distinguished statesman of New York, who was the guest of judge Crisp last June, and everybody la prepared to relish the following tele- grapblo correspondence between two well-known gentlemen, originating In the rabbit foot Incident.

A bloody tragedy was enpeted in Ma rion county yesterday afternoon that shocked the whole community. Very meager details were available at slate hour last night, and many material points connected with the affair are veiled. It seems that Messrs. Upton, father and son, and Elder Upop and the Messi*. Storey, one of them a brother-in-law to a Mr. Upton, had some words about the line a road was tq take. Matters culminrted Id both parties drawing their pistols and opening up a deadly fusilade. One of the Storeys was shot and kill ed outright and the other was fatally wonnded- The spectacle was an awful one; one man lying dead on the ground and the other iii the very throes of death, while the Tptons stood with smoking revolvers in hand. The scene of the killing is near Buena Vis^a, in Marlon county. All the parties concerned with this deplorable affair are highly respectable and stand well In the neighborhood where they live. The coroner's jury left Buena Vista yesterday to sit over the dead body of Storey, and they may be compelled to ascertain the facte about tbe death of both, since tbe wounded man is not ex pected to live.
