the Frenchman who induced several
Canadians to invest in a fraudulent

bia, has been anbsted by Indians at

croft.
Dr. Fissault, of this city, invested
$17,000 in the scheme, and Arthur La-
perrier went to look after his interests.
Samson threatened to shoot Laperrier

to he exposed, hut was overpowered
and escaped to the woods. Indians got
on his trail and eventually run him
down. When found he said he had had
nothing to eat for 20 days.

Washington, Aug. 12.—Before a
small audience of both members and
spectators, the silver debate was re

continued hisspeech. Mr. Morse (Mass.)
followed Wheeler. He gave his hearty
approval to the views of the president
relative to the repeal of the purchasing
clause of the Sherman bill, but believed
that the present business dejtression
was not attributable entirely to the
Sherman bill. It came from the threat
of the Democrats to pass tariff legisla
tion.
Mr. Harter, Democrat, of Ohio, in
speaking in favor of tfie repeal of the
proposition, likened Uncle Sam to a

upon their treatment; but Uncle Sam’s
doctors did not seem to agree in the
diagnosis.

nal, acknowledged his courtesy and hos
pitality.

terms than were heretofore offered to
the United States by Great Britain as a
settlement of the question involved.

Mr. Vest called up the resolution of
fered by him last Tuesday in favor of
bimetallism and free and unlimited coin
age, both gold and silver, and addressed
the senate on the subject.
He likened the Sherman act to a
houseless and homeless dog, with no
one to give it a bone, and without a
kennel to hide its dishonored head, hut
declared, nevertheless, that he would
not vote for its repeal without a guar
antee of silver as a money metal.

lllcElREE’S WINE OF CAR'UJI fur Weak Nerves.
Denied Exclusive Jurisdiction.
Washington, Aug. 16.—The secre
tary of state has received cable advices
from Paris which, in general terms,
confirms the United Press bulletin that
the decision of the arbitration tribunal,
on all points involving exclusive juris
diction over the Behring Sea, has been
rendered against the United States.
That is to say, the tribunal has decided:
1. That Russia did not assert and exer
cise exclusive jurisdiction in Behring sea
and in the seal fisheries therein prior to
the cessation of Alaska to the United
States.
2. That, consequently. Great Britain
never conceded any such rights to Rus
sia.
3. That Behring sea was not included
in the phrase “Pacific ocean’’ «s used in
the treaty of 1825 between Great Britain
and Russia; and
4. That, consequently, no exclusive
rights of jurisdiction over Behring sea
and over the seal fisheries therein passed
to the United States with Alaska under
the treaty of 1867.
Concessions to Tliis Countrj*.
The inference is that it is under the
last of the five points submitted to ar
bitration by article six of the treaty
that the concessions as to a close season,
a 60-inile protected zone the prohibition
of the use of fire arms, apply.
The fifth point was the one on which
the greatest stress was laid in the argu
ment by the United States counsel. It
raised the question whether the United
States had any right to the protection
of property iu fur seals frequenting the
islands of the Behring sea outside the
3-mile limit.
The preliminary abstract of the deci
sion received is regarded here as imply
ing that the tribunal to a certain ex
tent has conceded this right. Only in
the future, seal life will be protected
by virture of international agreement
entered into under the award of the ar
bitration and not solely by authority of
the United States statute. The full text
of the award is anxiously awaited.

Pat Meehan Killed Robert McBride 1 or
Insulting Mrs. Meehan.
Atlanta, Aug. 16.—Three shots in
rapid succession, one man running rap
idly toward a neighboring drug store,
another lying dead on the ground while
a third moved quietly away, as if noth
ing had happened, is the tragedy en
acted at the crowded entrance of the
Union passenger depot in Atlanta Mon-
Say eveniug.
It is another story of wounded honor
and quick retribution.
Pat Meehan is the traveling sales
man of a large, liquor house, and oue of
the quiet, clever Irishmen whose good
nature is proverbial and whose friends
are legion in this city where he has
been known for many years. He is
about 40 years old and has a family
who reside in Newnau, while he spends
most of his time on tlie road.
Mrs. Meehan, who is connected with
some of the best families in Newnan,
occupies part of a house, where there
are other lodgers, and with her sister
and three little children keep house
while Pat is away at his work.
Two other occupants of the house
where the Meehan’s live were, until the
fatal tragedy occurred, were Will and
Robert A. McBride; two prominent and
infiu-ential citizens of Newnan.
Bob McBride aud the Meehan family
had spent the evening of the 7th in
stant until late bed time on the veranda
of the house in pleasant conversation,
and, not until the members of the house
hold had all separated aud were about
to retire, did anything occur to mar the
pleasure and good feeling of any of the
company.
Then it was that McBride, finding
himself alone with Mrs. Meehan, said
something to her that was objectiona
ble to her. Sho resented his advances
in an instant, and, McBride, seeing the
error he had committed, did everything
in his power to appease her auger and
make amends for his indiscretion. But
Mrs. Meehan was obdurate. Her chas
tity had been assailed; her honor in
sulted and dragged down, and she de
termined to invoke her husband’s pro
tection, telling McBride so at tlie time.
While in New York, attending to his
business, Pat Meehan got a letter from
his wife, telling him enough to cause
him to board the first train for the
south, and was soon with his wife, who
told him all.
It was one week, lacking a few hours,
from the time that Mr. McBride had
committed the indiscretion which cost
him his life, aud the fatal hour when
the two men met. Meehan arrived at
home Saturday night; spent the day
with his family Siftiday, and Monday
morning came to Atlanta. Meanwhile,
McBride, knowing the man whom he
had ^vronged, and believing that his
life was in danger, had spent the week
iff trying to have the trouble averted.
Friends had been called in and relatives
of Mrs. Meehan had been interviewed,
and their aid asked in securing the ac
ceptance of an apology from McBride
and allowing the matter to drop. But
to no avail. McBride had, after seeing
the blunder he had made, added fuel to
the flames of anger in Mrs. Meehan’s
breast by accusing her of indiscreet
conduct with other men; hoping, there
by, to silence her. In this he was mis
taken, and the possibility of a truce for
the first advances ottered was precluded
by these latter charges.
Meehan had armed himself with two
revolvers and a dagger and was quietly
awaiting his opportunity when, just as
he was boarding the train in this city
to return to his home, he saw McBride
standing at the depot entrance talking
to a friend. Without a word of warn-
he advanced and fired on his man
with the barrel of his pistol within a
few inches of McBribe’s head.
Two of the shots fired took effect in
the neck and face of the unfortunate
man and death followed in a few mo
ments.
The third man connected with the
affray received one of the bullets in the
shoulder, aud it was he who ran across
the street to a drug store.
His name is Charles Reed, and is con
nected with a business firm in this city.
He was not interested in the affair, and
was talking with McBride on a busi
ness matter when he was shot.
McBride occupied a prominent posi
tion in the business community of New
nau and was president of several manu
facturing enterprises of that town.
He was unmarried, and about 44
years old; is a native of Brooklyn, N.
Y., and his only relative in the south is
his brother Will, who came upon the
scene just after the shooting occurred.
Meehan is in jail, upon a warrant
sworn out against him by McBride’s
brother soon after the tragedy.

J. W. Mackay's Escape.
New York, Aug. 12.—John W. Mac-
kay, the bonanza king and California
millionaire, has been, according to re
ports circulated in this city, the latest
victim of the vermiform appendix. This
is the little sac iu the human body for
which science has been unable to find
any obvious purpose, aud whose func
tions in the economy of nature have
long puzzled the medical world. It is,
however, the cause of much trouble,
and Mr. Mackay has been more fortu
nate than the majority of its victims,
for no ill effects are believed to have
resulted from his attack of appendicitis.
Driven to Desperation and Death.
New York, Aug. 12.—Maddened with
jealousy and drink, John H. Meister, a
well-to-do boss baker 45 years old, of
Brooklyn, at 3:10 o’clock in the morn
ing put an end to the quarrelsome life
he had led with his wife, Meta. He
fired six bullets into her body. She
died within a minute after the third
one had struck her. He then fired a
bullet through his right temple. As
this shot did not end his life Meister
hanged himself to a clothes post. The
circumstances of the murder and sui
cide indicate that the deeds had been
planned early in the night.
La Grippe.
During the prevalence of the
grip the past seasons it was a no
ticeable fact that those who depend
ed upon Dr. King’s New Discovery,
not only had a speedy recovery, but
escaped all of the troublesome after
effects of the malady. This remedy
seems to have a peculiar power in
effecting rapid cures not only in
cases of la grippe, but in all diseases
of throat, chest and lungs, and has
cured cases of asthma and hay fever
of long standing. Try it and be
convinced. It won’t disappoint.

by local applications, as they cannot roach
tlie diseased portion of the ear. There is
omj one way to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an intiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube, hen this tube
gets inflamed you have a- rumbling sound or
imperfect iiearing, and when it is entirely
closed deafness is the result, and unless this
inflammation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamed condition of ihe mucous surfaces
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
