The Revolutionists on Top in Nicaragua.
The revolutionists have practically
overthrown the government in Nic
aragua, and are in complete posses
sion of the Nicaraguan canal. The
government troops are no match for
the well organized troops of the rev
olutionists under the ex-president
Zaralla. They are well equipped
and have a supply of Gattling guns.
The government troops number 2,000
and are poorly organized. The revo
lutionists have 3,000 to .0,000 troops.

Americans in China will be likewise de

Murder, Most Foul.
Mr. I. J. Brown, an employee of the
Nichols Manufacturing Company, at
Nichols, on the Air Line R.R., was shot
and killed last night by a negro named
Ephraim Melcher. It seems that Mr.
Brown was having trouble with another
negro when Melcher drew a pistol and
shot him through the body, without
warning and without saying a word.
Mr. Brown lived only a few minutes.
The negro escaped and had not been
captured this morning. Mr. Brown had
had no trouble with the negro who shot
him, and did not speak to him all. A
reward of $200 is offered for the capture
of the murderer.
