NUMBER 9 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. The Texas Flood Rising. A Movement is on Foot Thursday’s Daily, More Corrections. Hold Turns to Copper. 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. —Dawson News. Attempted Suicide. Wilmington, N. C., July 30,-Maj. Abraham Weill, loeffi soliciting agent of the Atlantic Coast Line, died at his home in this city todey, aged 71. Phy sicians pronounce the cause of his death appoplexy, possibly hastened by a supposed attempt at suicide by drowning in one of thei city docks yes terday. He was rescued at. the time torers ana sent ft 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. —X. Phoenix Hotel Arrival..
