An unsteady hand ami a bad a'.m tvas
all tliat preventeil a terrible'tragedj’ on
a Macon and Dublin passenger train
yesterday afternoon Just as It was pull-
ins out from the depot In tit's city.
There were a number of poswuHers
on tbe train and among them a young
man named I'Ytfcpafrlck from Twiggs
county. The conductor pulled the bell
rope nml rite train began moving off
toward Dublin when another passenger
Jumped aboard and, with a pistol in
bis band, entered the car, clos ng the
door behind him. For a moment be
stopped and looked excitedly ut each
passenger In the car until his eyes fell
on FMBjKtlrck, who was s uing with
bis back toward the man who had Just
entered. With the frenzy of a madumn
the mam with the pistol rushed toward
Fitzpatrick, who did not know of Ihe
presence of the man bcb'nd him until
be saw others In the oar looking behind
thorn, and he, too, turned to see what
wus the matter. As be did so. the man
with tho pistol quickly fired at him, at
the same time excitedly oxcdaimlng
something which no one understood.
Then ho raised his pistol to fire again,
but before tie could do so several per
sons In the car grasped tils p'stul and
held him. Tho young man struggled
to got away, but was held tight. Then
the train was stopped nud he was taken
off and turned over to the employes of
the road at the depot, who telephoned
to the police station for an, officer.
Officer Walter Clark answered the call
and carried Hie young man to the police
stat ou, where he gave his name as W.
A. Joiner. He was too drunk to give
any explanation of tlie shooting fur
ther tliim lo say that It was about some
property and that hard fectlqg had ex
isted between them. Ai * brand now
Smith & Wesson pistol was found on
.To'tier’s portion, which he hniLJust pur
chased, It Is supposed, fur thS'fcde pur-
oose of shooting Fitzpatrick.'' 5
Joiner was locked tip and, charged
with being drunk anil disorderly, llght-
'ng, carrying concealed weapons, shoot
ing In tho city mid sliootlng at another,
be Is a young man and '.s also thought
to be from Twiggs county.
•Fllzpatrlck was not Injured by the
shot nnd went on home on the train,
Ills escape from Injury Is miraculous,
as Joiner was within a, few feet of him
when ho fired.

Buena V’sta, Dec. 7.—(Special.)—Tho
dead bodies of two well known farmers
were found Just where they were huug
or shot down, near here, and naturally
no lltlle excitement exists throughout
this section.
There Is no elne to tho murderers,
nnd so far the guilty parties aro breatlt-
’ng tho air of freedom, unharmed nnd
unmolested.
Three or four days ago, tt Is said, the
body of n farmer by the name of Ed-
wants was found near his home, rid.
died .with buokshot. The discovery of
the dastardly crime created great ex-
ederuent, but the porpetnytors of the
deed left no traces beh'nd that would
lend to their detection.
Only a few days prior to this horrible
discovery some ono found the body of
toother farmer, a Mr. ‘Moore, hanging
from the rafters of n bam. This might
have beou a case of su’clde, but com.
Ins as It did Just before the last mur
der causes many n> believe that Moore
was killed by the same hand guilty of
tho munler of Edwards.
A resident of (Marion county yester
day said that one of tlie above men
foiled crimes was committed Just
across the line In Taylor county.
These killings, like tho terrible mur
der of Mr, Green IV el Is only a few
weeks ago, whose dead body was found
shot Into doll rags, la evMcntly the
work of "regulators." though theT mo
tive for crime Is unknown. Manyfth’.nk
tt tho work of "tn-Kmahlnors," while
others profess to believe that some po-
lit cal clique Is at the bottom ot It.
No effort should be spared upon the
part of the autherftes to hunt down
and prod-cute the perpetrators of these
terrible deeds. Superior court convenes
shortly and tho recent bloody affairs
will doubtless ho Investigated.

CHICAGO AND NEW YORK,
The Western City Is a Great Place to Meet
Acquaintances In—The Towns Compared*
[Special Correspondence.]
Chicago, Doo. 6,—-Although loss
than ono-third of the territory between
tho oceans lios to tho east of Chicago,
this metropolis, as its inhabitants de
light to term it, is nearer the center of
the population of tho United States than
any other groat city. It is not surpris
ing, therefore, that the visitor here who
has any acquaintances to speak of in the
various states, east or west, is sure to
meet some one ho knows almost every
time ho goes ont npon tho streets,
I have not been in Chicago before for
eight yoars and havo never remained
here more than a few days at a time,
yet I have met on tho average half a
dozen persons with whom I am ac
quainted, more or loss intimately, every
day Binco I havo been here, I arrived
early on a Sunday morning, not too
wide awake, for my borth In tho sleep
ing car was not coudncivo to slumber,
and therefore felt n trifle bored whon I
stopped ont of thobns at tho door of tho
hotel by tho singular conduct of a man
who blocked my way and was looking
mo fixedly in tho face, A momont later,
however, my nnnoynneo vanished, for
the boarded face relaxed into a smilo of
greeting, and from his lips thoro issued
a lioarly “How aro you, old boy?”
By his voice I recognized him as ono
who had boon associated with mo lfi
yoars bofore, whon Wo wore both strip
lings, in the scrvico of nn eastern busi
ness house. Ho told mo that bo had a
ranch somewhere farther west and
was in a fair way to booomo rich ns
soon as tho improving timos enabled the’
projectors of a certain lino of rail, as
yet unbuilt, to go ahond with the enter
prise, for Ills ranch had been chosen for
a town site. Later in tho day, npon
Madison street, I was surprised by an
other old timo acquaintance, -whom I
had known in Omaha. Before ho and I
had finished talking a Buffalo friond
joined ns, and while wo three wore all
talking over old times a former Cin
cinnatian joined tho group. And so it
has been ovory day sinco I havo boon
hero.
Ono peculiarity ot Chicago that strikes
tho man who has for some years been
accustomed only to tho largo cities of
tho oast is tho provalenco of buggies on
the streets. In New York’s “down
town” business soction a buggy is al
most rare enough to exoito comment,
and tho sight of a dozen buggies stand
ing in a row by tho curbs, the horses
tethered, as they are to bo seen in smaller
towns, would bo an unwonted spcotaclo
indeed. Many of the solid business men
of the town drive from thoir handsome,
comfortable homes, milos removed from
tlie pulsating heart of things, to business
every morning.
Anothet peculiarity of Chicago, or
rather of Chicagoans, as compared with
Now Yorkers, is their delight in point
ing ont locally famous buildings and
places to tbe visiting stranger. I put
tho difference in this matter down to
tho foot that the Chicagoan has a great
deal more local pride than tho Now
Yorkc-r, The latter feels serenely oonfi-
dont of tho fact that Manhattanvillo is
"tho greatest town on earth," nud that
it onght to bo enough for tho visitor to
onjoy its glorios without having them
specifically pointed ont Besides, tho
Now Yorker reasons, everybody knows
about the interesting points of Now
York without being told.
Tho Chioagoan is qnite as certain
about tho supremacy of his city, both
as to size and attractiveness, but ho is
not so snre as to whether the visitor
agrees with him, and ho is desirous that
ho shall. Therefore there is no sign of
weariness in the matter ot showing the
sights.
Chicago certainly produces more of
an impression of sizo in tho stranger's
mind than does New York, This is dno
to tho fact that nearly all ot Chioago’s
streets aro long, broad and straight,
whereas comparatively few of New
York’s are long or broad, and many of
them aro crooked. Then, again, tho
smoko of tho soft coal used here renders
tho vistas dim and almost mysterious,
oven on tho clearest days, adding great
ly to tjio apparent distance of compara
tively nearby objocta.
In one point Chicago is far ahead of
Now York, and that is in the courtesy
displayed toward customers by tho em
ployees of the business houses. So far
as my experience goes at lost, the sajes;
men and saleswomen of tEis town are
qnite a hundred timos more solicitous of
pleasing a prospective purchaser than
aro thoso of Now York, and I nover
havo had any cansofor complaint of the
latter either. Chables Atplkbee.
