Bennett Fatally Stabbed East Coast Not Sold.
BY HIS BROTHER-IN-LAW, HENRY SO SAYS VICE-PRESIDENT AND OEN«
HARRIS, NEAR MILLWOOD. ERAL MANAOER J. R. PARROTT.
A difficulty between Henry Harris
and John Bennett occurred near Mill
wood, In thia county, on laet Saturday
in which Bennett waa fatally stabbed
with a pocket knife. Bennett is now
lying at the point of death at bis home
near Millwood, with a terrible gaah in
his side and another in the thigh.
Harris and Bennett are brothers*ln'
law, the former haying married Ben-
nett’s slater. The difficulty between
them first started at a picnic at Eutah
church near Millwood last Friday.
While the picnic table was being pre*
pared, Bennett was requested to keep
the dogs from the table. Harris’ dog
camti near the table, when Bennett
struck him with a leather strap. This
action infuriated Harris, and there
came near being a difficulty at the
time. Saturday the two men met on
the public road a short distance from
Millwood, and after a few words, both
men drew their knives. Finally the
quarrel seemed to be settled and Ben
nett placed his knife in his pocket,
when Harris jumped on him stabbing
him as stated above. Dr. J. B. Bagley
of Millwood, Is attending Bennett, and
thinks there is little hopes of his re*,
corery. He is about 18 years old. and
Harris was probably 27. The latter
has not, as vet, been arrested.
Jacksonville, Flo., July 80.— J. R.
Pairott, vice-president and general
manager of the East Coast railway,
today stated that the report that Mr.
Flagler had sold ont to the Southern
was untrue. Among outelde sources it
is stated that the deal did not go
through because the Southern would
not buy the hotel properties owned by
the East Coast railway.

Boston, July 29.—The story of
bunco game in which the victim lost
82,500, waa told in police court today,
and, as the result, Frank Bernstein
was held for the grand jury on the
larceny of the 82,500, in five dollar
gold coins on Jnly 10, from Barnard
Bennett of this city. It waa In evi
dence that Bennett wae induced by
Bernstein and a confederate to go
into a plan to counterfeit English
eovengns. He furnished 500 gold
coins, which the other men apparently
placed into a tin can and into which,
a strong acid waa poured. After con
siderable juggling of the can Bennett
received it to carry home. He grew
suspicions, and concluded that it was
and infernal machine. A policeman
opened the can, and 89.97 in pennies
came out. Bennett had Bernstein
arrested, but the other man is free.
A Dry SecUon.
There is a certain section of Terrell
county, in the western portion, about
three miles in width end seven or
eight miles in length, where there has
been no rain in seven weeks. To the
farmers residing in this section the
crop conditions are naturally distress
ing. The corn, more especially, ia
suffering intensely—to such a degree,
ia fact, that on- some fields the pro
duction will not be a bushel to the
acre. On other farms the conditions
are more encouraging, one-*fourth to
one-half of a crop being the prospect.

Editors Herald:—
Referring to your notice in
yesterday’s issue, correcting an
error of the printer’s, in “Or-
montV* article, allow me to say
said article does not yet * ‘stand
corrected” in either this or an
other particular. It sounds ab
surd to refer to Pegasus as a
“mare,” recalling Longfellow’s
lines on “The Poet’s Winged
Steed”:
"Then, with nostrils wide distended,
Breaking from bis iron chain,
And unfolding fur his pinions,
To those stars lie soared again."
Why not, then, Mr. Ortnont,
Pegasus is a stekd that.it be
hooves genius,” etc. ?
Again, in the long sentence
beginning, (and as school chil
dren, wo. were taught, to eschew
these long sentences), “ The
plagiarist from Senator Ingalls,"
the syntax of the writer suffers,
as well as the Senator's literary
reputation. What is the subject
of the verb "was purloined” in
that sentence? Does the writer
want to say that “the literary
reputation of the Senator suf
fered from’ the discovery that
his speech was purloined from a
‘French divine,”’ etc.? The
phrase “of his speech,” can find
do relation to itself in the con
struction of this sentence.

The first water is now a hundred miles
