FOUR FATAL BULLETS.

{L Discharged Bartender Killed His Boss,
and Then Kills Ilimselt
Anniston, Ala., Ang. 11,—Talladega,
twenty miles south of here, was aroused
by four pistol shots in rapid succession.
Men hurrying to the secene found two
men lying on the ground, both of whom
died before a physician could reach
them.
It was a case of murdter and suicide.
R. L. Rasberry, a bar-tender employed
by N. Simmons, was discharged. Draw
ing a pistol he shot Simmons, on the
road, and then placed the pistol against
his head and fired. He then fired two
more ghots-at Simmons, who lay on the
ground already in his death struggle.
Garzaites Not Gathering.
Laredo, Tex., Ang. 11.—The rumor
that the Garza revolutionists were con
centrating in this section originated in
the rendezous of the forty-first Vaqneros
at La Gata in Encraal county, where
Catarhurearza organized liis band of
revolutionists in December, 1891. The
stock hunters were sent out by large
stockraisers in Webb and Encinal comi
ties to gather up scattered stock, which
has been made practicable by heavy
rains which have fallen throughout this
section. This information i3 reliable,
and any reports or rumors about the
gathering of Garza revolutionists on this
part of the Rio Grande frontier is with
out foundation. J
A Noted Murder Case Witness.
Montevista, Col., Aug. 11.—P. J.
Sheridan, a farmer, living thirty miles
north of town, while driving through
his gate with a hay-rack, was crushed
between the post and hay-rack. Several
ribs were broken, and it is thought he
cannot live. Mr. Sheridan gained a
world-wide reputation a few years ago
as being the man wba was supposed to
know something about the Phoenix park
murder. He has been offered large sums
of money to go to England and testify
as to what he knew of the celebrated
murder, but he has steadfastly refused.
Memphis, Aug. 11.—The indignation
against Governor Buchanan for com
muting King’s sentence found vent in
hanging and burning his effigy at the
corner of Main and Madison streets.
The crowd was composed, hot of toughs
and street arabs, but of well clad, unus
ually orderly and respectable young
men.
When the figure burned in two and
the lower half fell to the ground, the
crowd vented its wrath by kicking the
burning embers about the streets.
The governor was cursed and abused
with every contemptuous epithet imag
inable. The publication of the gover-
nor’sreasons has only added to the gen
eral indignation.
That he should review the case and
pass judgmeut oh the jury's trip to
Arkansas and pronounce that the judge
had eried in refusing a change of venue
after the supreme court and the federal
court, had passed'on.these very matters,
is characterized as the grossest presump-
■ tion and impudence.
."Would Have I/rnclied Kins’.
There is little doubt now but that
King would have been lynched had he
not been so hastily smuggled out of
town, and the mo3t conservative citizens
were heard regretting that so laudable
a purpose had been frustrated.
Men who are opposed to lynching be
fore a trial, openly say that when a gov
ernor, against public morals, sets aside
the verdicts of the courts, that justice
can only be obtained by uibbvlaW, and
that it would be a fitting rebuke to the
governor for his action.
Loyal as this people has been to Gro
ver Cleveland, he is criticised very se
verely for the letter he wrote Mrs.
White, the niece of Colonel King, and
which was laid before the governor; and
Senator Harris has very few.friends
left on account of the active part lie
lias taken in the matter. Nothing in
many years has so stirred up public
indignation at the escape of King from
the gallows. The public is as a tiger

Fort Worth, Aug. 11.—The Daily

judge and sheriff, tampering with the

armed Kolb men marched into town and
declared their intention of killing the
probate judge, sheriff and circuit clerk,

declared vengeance on all Jones men.
The sheriff summoned a posse and a riot
was prevented. The mob declared their

long count on the support of either of
the Irish parties. While he ignored
Redmond’s question, it is doubtful
whether the assurances given to Mc
Carthy will be satisfying to the National
ists either in Ireland or America. ?
The Chronicle says:
"We doubt whether tiie oration deliv
ered by Gladstone will berauked among
his’ finest efforts. It is only when he
stands at bay that lii3 oratorical genius
soars to its highest flights. Yet it was
a masterpiece of adroit allusiveness.
Everybody knew that while he dealt
laboriously with the speech-- of Goschen
and McCarthy, it was only Redmond’s
demands that troubled him, and he
solved the problem with consummate
skill and dexterity. Nobody, can say
that he ignored Redmond, yet nobody
can say that he even once recognized his
existence.” >
The-Chronicle contends that the most
important passage in the speech was the
promise to proceed with the -Newcastle
program, even if the house of lords re
jected the home .rule bill. "Nothing
else.” The Chronicle says" "is wanted to

To Head Uie New Government.
London. Aug. 11 — Mr. Gladstone
has received a communication from Sir
Henry Ponsonby, private secretary to
the queen, announcing that arrange
ments were beiug made for a reception
Friday at Osborne -house. the queen’s
residence ou the Isle of Wight. The
object of the queen in summoning Mr.
Gladstone is to entrust him with the
formation of a new government. Lord
Salisbury is expected at Osborne boast
to tender the resignation ‘of the present
government upon the adoption by the.
bouse of commons of a "no-confidence”
amendment to the address in replV tc

GOVERNOR TILLMAN’S STRENGTH.

He Will Press She.ppard Close Even
Hfs St^oasliold.
Charleston, Ang. 11.—There is very
little doubt now that the reform wing of
the Charleston Democracy will be al
most solid for Governor Tillman and re
form. The announcement of Chairman
T. D. Jervey, of the reform committee,
of his adhesion to the Tillman cause is
followed by the announcement of Wil
son G. Harvey, Jr., the secretary of the
same committee, that all the reform
candidates for the legislature were Till
man men, and the further statement of
M.'F. Kennedy, a prominent reformer,
that all the reform clubs’ were Tillman
clubs, that Tillman meant reform if it
meant anything, and that there should
be no compromise with the ring. The
club meeting at which these speeches
were made, elected two delegates to the
state convention, one a Tillmanite arid
the other a Sheppardite. A great many
people who labored under the impres
sion that state, politics would not enter
into the Democratic fight in Charleston
are awakening to the fact that this whs
a mistake. It begins to look now a3 if
Governor Tillman will give Sheppard a
close race even in Charleston, the bead
center of ring rule.

Phoenix. Ariz„ Aug. 11.—During the
preliminary examination of John
Rhodes, accused of being one of the
murderers of Thomas Graham, in the
Tewksberry Graham feud on August 2,
Mrs. Graham the widow of the murdered

feet from the prisoner, sprang from her

towards Rhodes, placed .the pistol
against his breast and pulled the trig
ger, but the pistol missed fire. There
was immediately a mad rush from the
courtroom and lawyers and reporters
hid under the tables, Sheriff Montgom

of several deputies, after a desperate
struggle. Mrs. Graham pleaded for the
revolver to shoot him. The justice or
dered her removed from the court room,
but she returned to make a second at
tempt, when her father, Rev. Mr. Mil •
toa, a Baptist minister, took her to her
