Si SgKSKBi$S$35 AFTER THE MURDERER. posse scouring tub couk TRY BOB THE NEGRO WHO KILLED HABSHAL IIVEE AT PABBOT. ■e Wri Stvr inil Eh« at Lnl Night at Haaacr. Particulars of the killing of acting Marshal Lee Huff, at Parrot, by an At lanta Negro who was on the excursion train that came to Albany over the Columbus Southern road on Saturday afternoon, returning that night, were published in yesterday’s Hkrald. Our information yesterday was that the Negro had probably been captured in the neighborhood of Weston, and that he would be lynohed last night; but it seems that he is still at large. Last night he was discovered at Sasser, and several shots were llred at him, but he outran his pursuers and made good his escape. He was steal ing a ride on the train that was com ing to Albany last night, and was dis covered when the train renohed Sasser. He came down the rnilroad towards Albany, and when the train reached this oity last night this faot was re ported to the police, and Officers Mooney and Barron, in company with a man from Columbus, went out on the road to meet the murderer. He failed to show up on the rond, how ever, and the officers came back to the city after B o’olock this morning. Mr. I. P. Cocke, brother-in-law of the murdered man, left here this morning to organize a posse of men to scour the woods from Sasser to Albany, and it is thought that the murderer will be brought in to-day. The Atlanta Constitution of yester day had a report of the murder, and said that the Negro was an Atlanta Negro, and that he went by the name of Jules Spikes. He is a tall Negro, weighs about 160 pounds, and has a fresh scar on the temple, made by the whisky bottle that was broken over his head at Parrot on Saturday night. Ij liter* THE MURDERER TRACKED INTO* ALBANY THIS AFTERNOON The murderer of Lee Iluff is prob ably now in Albany. Mr.J. W. Sheppard, a bailiff from Terrell county, is positive that -he tracked the Negro into town to-day. Mr. Sheppard arrived in the city just before 1 o'clock tills afternoon, lie had been on the Negro’s track Bince yesterday morning, and followed it to where the public road that leads west ward from the city crosses the Blakejly Extension out just beyond the guano faotory. Here the Negro took the railroad track, and it was Impossible to track him further; but It Is certain that he catno towards the city, and he was heard from between where he took to the railroad and the guano factory. Mr. Sheppard started out with the Sheriff of Terrell county and posse yesterday morning, and, by direction of the Sheriff, crossed a creek and took a different route from the others. He soon got on the trail of a man whose description answered for that of the murderer, and followed it all day, los ing it at times, on account of the rain, but finding it again. He found that the Negro spent last night at the Walls place, in Terrell county, near the Dougherty line, and that a Negro tenant oil the place put him in the Albany rond this morning. From there Mr. Sheppard had no trouble in keeping his track to where lie struck the railroad half a mile west of the city limits. Mr. Sheppard came on into the city and reported to Sheriff Edwards and Deputy Sheriff Godwin. These offi cers at once set out to have a thorough search made for the murderer, and if he is in town he will be cauglit. If this man whom Mr. Sheppard tracked into the city to-day is the mur derer, then it could not have been him that they discovered and shot at at Sasser last night. Slopping u Kiiiiit,vnj- Horse. Prof. Gleason, noted as a tnmer and trainer of vicious horses, thus explains the manner of stopping a runaway horse by using nothing but a straight bar bit and lines. For instance, your horse attempts to run away. Let him go for a distance of fifty yards, then haul in your lines perfectly tight. When you get ready to give the com mand to stop, say “Whoa!” at the same time you pull the right-hand rein, giv ing a powerful jerk, and repeat the A Pualon With Ike Republican. •( Ike Tenth District l'rtksblr. Tom Watson was in Atlanta on Monday, on hia way home from Wash ington. He was in consultation with Col. Post and other leaders of the Third Party ail day, and left Monday night for Thomson, hla home, where he was billed to speak on Tuesday. Mri Watson, when seen by the report ers, refused, absolutely, to have any thing to say for publication, saying that lie had been so badly treated by the press that he did not wish to make any statement of any kind. On the subject of the “jag committee” he was particularly sore. It was learned from a reliable source that the mission of Watson in Atlanta on Monday was to bring about a recon ciliation between Winn and Piokett, of tha Ninth district. It is said that both Winn and Piokett, by the inter mediation of Watson, signed an agree ment on Monday, submitting their rival oandidaoy to a board of arbitra tion, the State Executive Committee of the People’s Party to be tho arbl-. trators. Watson's game. It looks very much like an effort will be made to bring about a fusion between the Third Party people and Republicans in the Tenth district. On Monday night, for several hours be fore leaving for home, Congressman Tom Watson was in a star ehnmber conferring with Collector Walter Johnson, a big Republican boss, an other one of Buck's lieutenants. Noth ing definite could be learned of the conference, but it is pretty certain that the subject discussed was a fusion in Watson’s interest. MUST GO TO PIECES. There Appear* to Be IVo Hope for (lie Terminal Myatrni. A United Press dispatch from New York, under date of August 9, says: The best opinion on Wall street is that since the last report on the condi tion of the Richmond Terminal there is nothing to conclude but bankruptcy. Disintegration is possible. The obli gations, $10,000,000, is an enormous embarrassment. Yet there seems to be an earning capacity which, wore it not for the stubbornness of some of the security holders, might be used as a basis for a successful reorganization. Theye is no hope that these stubborn security holders will do anything else than await the action of the courts and the complete disintegration of tho system. FASHION NOTES.

The Glacial Balance. Tlie glacial balance is sensitive. A very slight continuous preponder ance of supply over wasting might, in a few years, betray itself by really formidable and altogether irresistible effects. Without one additional de gree of cold, it is conceivable that a persistently augmented deposit of snow upon the Gerstenhomer and the Schneestock, although otherwise scarcely perceptible, might enable the Rhone glacier to overwhelm Brieg. But this would be on exceed ingly small step toward the restora tion of a former state of things, wlion an ice stream close upon 260 miles in length, starting from the same source, crossed the frozen or nonexistent Lake of Geneva, and de- bouohed by Culoz upon Lyons. Without severe cold, as well as heavy precipitation, ice could not possibly have gained so great on as cendency. And this was no local phenomenon; it was simultaneously prevalent over widely separated tracts of the earth’s surface.—Edin burgh Review. Hints on What Untile* Wonr.

Many modish white wool gowns dis play sleeves of green velvet, that be ing the only bit of color in tile toilet., Yellow is a particularly favorite color this summer, and, if carefully chosen, suits blondes and brunettes alike. ' Russian colors promise to be more popular tints for early autumn, and they are emeralds, a dull blue, a deep red, and black. Velvet sleeves have come into favor again, and, oddly enough, aro seen in tea gowns and dressy home toilets of delicately tinted lawn. The sleeves are out in fancifully flowing shapes. Delicately figured bengoline silks are among the dainty novelties for tl^! coming season.

What makes their Bkill appear more surprising was that they managed the sling with the left hand. The men who came to David's--help at Ziklag were no less adroit. They used at will either the right hand or the left. The sling was also the fa vorite weapon of shepherds, who with it drove away wild beasts prey ing on their flocks. This makes David’s victory over the giant Goliath less surprising, as he had no doubt groat practice in the use of this in strument while guarding his father’s sheep.—Harper’s Young People.

The work of putting up the fire plugs has commenced, and something over twenty are now in position, ready for tile water to be turned on. The plugs are very neat looking ones, rising about two feet out of the ground, and are alt painted a light green. Each plug has two openings for hose, and will throw a stronger stream than an engine, and doesn’t have to wait to get up steam. There will be a plug at every street crossing, and one in the center of each block, so that every building can be easily reached by at least half a dozen streams of water. The plugs are being pat up at the rate of about ten a day. Juvenile Economy. Mr. Citiman—How in creation do you manage to wear out your shoes so fast?

Jordan Rogors, from Poekskill, N. Y„ was at tho Great Northern re cently. “The departure," he said, “of some of your militia for the state encamp ment reminds me of a little incident that occurred a night or two before I left Peeksldll, where the New York boyB were encamping. “On this night the countersign wu ‘Gettysburg,’ and some of the bat tery boys, who were stationed out on the edge of the bluff, ‘caught on.' Several of them had some fun with the guard after taps, and one inci dent in this connection has an espe cially humorous side to it. It seems that no enlisted man is ontdtled. to the countersign. If it is absolutely necessary for one to enter or leave camp after tape he can go past the guards only by means of a pass which las been approved at headquarters. In the battery detail from Brooklyn is a private who knows how to make the most of a good thing. 'He is a large, well built man, with a voice to match his size. He was one of several who got hold of Gettysburg’ on the night referred to. He has a coat with a capo fash ioned much like the regular officer's cape. Shortly after taps he put on his big cape coat, buttoned it closely around his throat, gave his private's cap the crush in tho back which, more than the braid, distinguishes the officer's cap after dark, assumed a majestic Btride and started for a walk around tho camp grounds. Ho was soon challenged by a sentry. The conversation which ensued was something like this. “ ‘Haiti who goes there?’ “ ‘A friend.' “ ‘Advance, friend, and give the countersign.’ ‘The battery private walked slow ly forward and said ‘Gettysburg’ in his deepest bass. 'The sentinel began to say ‘The countersign is correct; advance, friend,’ when the big private, assum ing an authoritative pose, said sharply: “ ‘Don’t you know how to hold your piece when you aro talking to an army officer?’ The sentry was in the correct po sition, and began to stammer that he thought he was holdiug It properly. Don't let me see any more of this carelessness,' said the private more sternly than before. “ ‘Point your bayonet down when a regular army officer approaches. Hold tho piece in your loft hand and salute at the same time with your light. Don't you know the new reg ulations regarding the salute to reg ular army officers?' “The rattled Bentiy admitted that that part of his education had been neglected, but added that he would profit by the advice given him. The big private left him standing there with his bayonet pointed toward the ground and his right hand in the air. “After instructing a couple more sentries in a brand new system of guard duties the private went to his tent and laughed himBelf nsloep.”— Chicago Inter Ocean. S.ved by the Big Dog. As little Cal Stephens, of Ossawat- omie, Kan., was playing around a well that worked with two buckets, a rope and a pulloy, he fell in, carry ing the top bucket dowji with him. His screams attracted the attention of Bob Layson’s big St. Bernard dog, Hadley, who, without a moment’s hesitation, sprang in tho well and either by accident or intention car ried tho other bucket down with him, overbalancing and bringing the other bucket with little Col clinging to it to the top.

Ho hadn’t been in the villago very long—about ton days—came up from New York to spend his two weeks’ vacation—und had brought his dog with him. an ugly, savage, vicious brute that hod already terrorized the canine contingent, while he and the dog were the center of a circle of wide circumference whenever they walked abroad. It was Saturday afternoon, and he strolled down elm shaded Main street radiant in a black and yellow blazer, a broad Rash and—a cigarette—dog following. He was out of matches, so he pulled up at the “grocery store and postoffice” to purchase some. He didn't inspire much awe among the congregated villagers, ns they had already “sized him up," so that when Cy Blossom drawled out “ 'Eke comes that striped dude from Mul- lenses boardin house,” it didn’t cause any great excitement, but when Cy added “with that dorg of hisn" there was a shifting of legs and a sudden grasping of canes, umbrellas and oh ail - backs. “Speaking of matches,” said he, as he passed two cents over the counter, took one out of the box and lit his cigarette, “aro thoro any of you gen tlemen about here that has a dog he would like to match against this dog of mine—great dog, gents—he's got a fine pedigree—he's a trained fight er and he can walk away with any dog of ton times his weight in this village—I’ll just bet twenty-five to one on that” Kind er think yor can’t get no bets on that,” said Seth Hawkins, tho grocor and postmaster of the villago; “there’s no dogsroun here that’s trainod tor fight, an I never heer’d of one that laid any claim to a ped-ped-er-greo. ” ’Hoi on, thoro, young feller,” said a toll, rawboned old fellow leaning up against tho counter. “Hoi on; what’s that ye bet, twenty-five ter one that dorg o' youm kin walk away with any dorg in the village ten times his weight?” “That’s what I said.” “Wa-al, 'ere is my one—plonk out yer twenty-five.” (He planked It out.) “Beth, you hoi tho stakes.

A sign over the door of the shed read, Samuel Bodldn—old junk—pigs for sale.” Now, mister, wo all understan that dorg o’ youm is ter walk away with mine or I’m ter git twenty-five dollars.” That’s it,” said ho, tugging at his dog’s dollar. “Where’s your pup?” “There lie is,” said the old fellow, pointing to a heap of rubbish about fifty feet away. “We ain't got no ped-ped-e-strol, it got broke, but ye can walk away with him perhaps all the same.” It was u cast iron one—weighed 260 pounds.—New York Herald.
