Cnic.no, Oct. 28.—Mayor Carter
Harrison was assassinated to-night at
his own linmc tiy shrank named Eu
gene Patrick Prendergast. The as
sassin is a paper carrier, who says
that his only reason for the murder
is that the Mayor had promised to
make him city attorney, and failed to
doit. At 8:25 o’clock a smooth-facet
man rang the door bell at the Harri
son homo on South Ashland Boule
vard.
Mary llanson, a domestic, opened
the door. The man asked if the Mayor
was in, and snid he would like to see
him. The servant admitted the caller.
Mr. Harrison, who had been lying 1
down, started nut to the Imll as he
heard his name mentioned. His
caller advanced ten feet down the hall
and, without a word, began tiring. He
fired three tunes, the first and third
allots striking Mr. Harrison. The
third shot, hit just above hi i heart.
Mr. Harrison turned and walked
back to the dining room and fell on
the tloor of the pantry.
The B8snBsin turned and walked out.
The Mayor's son, twenty-live years
old, ran down stairs at the sound of
the shots and hurried to his father.
Mr. Harrison’s coachman ran into the
rear of the hall aa the murderer wua
passing out of the door. The coach
man had a pistol and fired twice at III.
assassin.
Persons running in from the street
to see what had happened prevented
the coachman from following the mur
derer. A neighbor living on the op
posite side of the street rushed across
and spoke to Prendergast, but did not
know that he was the slayer.
The Mayor bled rapidly. To ills
son and friend who stood by him he
said that he was shot through the
heart and would die. While speaking
he became unconscious and died be
fore the doctor arrived. Young Har-
rison bad turned on the burglar
alarm as he reached the foot
bf the stairs, and a patrol
wagon tilled with police reached tile
house in a few minutes.
The entire police force of the city
on duty was looking for “a small
smooth shaken man” within five min
utes. News of ihe murder spread like
wild fire. While tile police were look
ing for Ihe man nod picking up
suspicious characters, the very man
himself walked info ttie Desplaioes
street police station with a pistol in
his hand. He was trembling and ashy
pale. “I did it; lie promised to make
me corporal in council, and broke his
word,” Ihe man said. He was dis
armed, and said hiB^iiamo was Pren-
The Herald published a special
from Acworth, Georgia, one day last
week, in whioh it was stated th*t
whiteoaps had posted all the gin-
houses in that vicinity, warning the
owners not to gin any more ootton,
under penalty of having theft prop
erty burned, until the price of the
staple should reach ten cents a pound.
Now the farmers are taking steps to
proteot themselves. A special from
Acworth under date of Wednesday,
25th inst., says:
‘‘Six hundred farmers and glnners
met at Acworth, Oa., to-da.v to take ao-
tion to suppress whitecapiam. Last
week the gins in Cherokee, Bartow,
Paulding and Cobb counties were
posted with notices warning the own
ers not to gin any more cotton until It
advances to ten cents a pound. This
demoralised the farmers, as they were
threatened with Ore if they should
haul any more ootton to the gins, and
the ginners were notified that they
would be burned out if they did not
shut down their gins.
“At this season Aoworth usually re
ceives 200 bales a day. In the past
week Acworth lias not received 60
bales. ThiB Is true of all the towns In
the four counties named.
‘‘Tlie farmers and ginners pledged
themselves to subscribe liberally to a
fund fur the employment of detectives
to discover and punish the whltecapa,
They also recommend that all the gins
be started up again.”

daring along. The engineer did hot
see the girl with her preoions charge,
his attention being attraoted ^an
other direotlon.
On came the engine at a dashing
■peed. The lookers.-on held, their
breath in suspense. The girl seemed
not to understand the danger) or eim
did not see or hear the approaching
engine. It was a terrible situation,
and frightened men shouted in vain to
attract the engineer’s attention.
But, just in the niok of time, the en
gine camo to a stop just before it
reached tbe baby oarrlage, while the
girl, with great presenoe of mind,
thought of something she had neg
lected to pnrohase, turned the carriage
aronnd, before she reached the rail
road track, and started up town again.
It also transpired that the girl, with
equal presenoe of mind, had left the
baby at home, and there was only a
bar of soap, a pound of candy and a
■tick of chewing gam In the carriage.
Everybody feit relieved when things
panned out so nicely, and were loud in
their praise of tile rare presence of
mind of both the engineer and the Ne
gro girl.
And thus the item was spoiled.

About 10 o’clock Saturday morning,
in Sandy Bottom, A". Myers, white, a
tailor, went on the “rnmpuge” and
seemed determined to scnlp somebody.
Af er an extended and boisterous
incursion of the territory Myers re
turned to his place of business and en
countered another white man by the
name of J. H. Williams. They had
some words, and Myers, in genuine
Western style, started in to scalp
Williams. The latter was hemmed up
in a corner of'the room hy Myers who,
with his open knife, began to slash at
him in a vigorous manner. Williams’
clothing was cut in one or two
places, and, seeing that he was liable
to be “done op” sure enough, he made
hazardous exit through a window, tak
ing sash and all with him.
A city case has been booked against
Myers.

Ward is a country Negro, and be
lieving that he ought to be clothed in

ill-gotten goods Green appeared on
the spot and nabbed him. He was
turned over to the officers, and was
