HP |]ad Been at Work Loading Since the Strike—An Old Ne gro Man Won With Him nt the Time of the Shooting—Two The ories a* to the Motive. Darien. Ga., July 30.—Arthur Hamilton, , young white man who has been helping 10 load the ships at Sapelo since the strike 0 l (he longshoremen, was assassinated without warning Saturday night. He received a load of buck-shot In his body from a gun fired by some unknown |ar ty from the roadside. He died yester dJ y. and the remains were interred in g. Andrew's Cemetery this morning. Hamilton had been paid oft, and during ,bc evening had caroused around town until about 10 o’clock, when he s arted to bis room at Lower Bluff. He had a satch el which an old negro man carried for him , walking a little behind him. The negro says as the two reached a point where the road was skirted with oak trees for a short distance his hat fell off. He stooped to pick It up, and as he did so he heard a shot fired and Hamil ton limped away a few feet and felj. This cold-blooded assassination of a citi zen on the public highway has caused a great deal of excitement to-day, and many rumors are flying about. The coroner’s jury investigated the matter as far as it could, and rendered a verdict that Ham illon came to his death by an unknown assailant. No facts brought out at the Inquest pointed to any one as the mur derer. It is the theory of many that the deed was done by one of the striking long shoremen from a spirit of revenge against all the new men at work on the vessels. Others think the shooting was the result of a private quarrel. The fact that Hamilton was working at Sapelo, and that several others of the longshoremen have been fired at recently from the dark lead to the former theory as the correct one. The timber merchants and stevedores are greatly Interested, and are endeavor ing to have the matter thoroughly inves tigated. They will supplement any re ward offered by the state and county for the conviction of the murderer. McFAXHJEN WHIPPED O'BRIEN. Latter Could Stand Only Twelve Round* of the Scrap. New York.

Angelo dl Pietro, prefect of the Congregation of the Council, took it upon himself to inform the Pope of the assas sination of King Humbert He entered the chamber of Leo at an early hour. The latter was already awake. The Cardinal cautiously first stated that an attempt had been made upon the life of the King, whereupon the Pope imme diately asked if the wound was danger ous. The prelate replied 'Very danger ous.' but his anxious air was noticed by the Pope, who at once divined the truth. His emotion was such that he was una blie to speak for some time. When his distress had passed he wished to leave his bed and to celebrate mass for the repose of the King’s soul. Later, he summoned Cardinal Rampol la. papal secretary of state, whom he re quested to send a dispatch of condolence to Princess Ciothilde, sister of the Queen. The audiences fixed for to-day were sus pended. WAS A FRIEND OF ENGLAND. Queen Victoria Horrified at Assassi nation of Humbert. London. July 30.—Perhaps in no coun try was the news of King Humbert's as sassination received with deeper sympathy and greater horror than in Great Britain. For the last few years, and more es pecially for the last few months, during the South African war, the Italian ister’s reflection of the attitude of the throne have shown an undeviattng friend ship for Great Britain, even when the rest of Europe was inveighing against England and her policy. Queen Victoria was horrified at the re ceipt of the news. She immediately tele graphed her condolences to Queen Mar gherlta. It Is stated In official circle*, that the recent release of Slpido, the assailant of the Prince of Wales, as he was pass ing through Belgium, has been followed by an enormous increase in the circula tion of anarchist literature, advocating regicide. It is thought exceedingly like ly that the assassination of King Hum bert is directly traceable to misplaced leniency.

Among the early callers was the Prince of Wales, who expressed keen regret at the loss of a personal friend. NEWS RECEIVED IN FRANCE. President Lonbet Expressed Indig nation and Condolence.

WELL-KNOWN IN PATERSON. Breast's Friend Faltered and He Went to Kill Humbert. New York, J(Jly 30.—Angelo Bressl lived in Paterson, N. J., for over a year. He appeared to have had various names. The one he gave last night when taken into custody for the murder of the King of Italy was one. Another was Angelus Bressi, and still another, the-one by which he will be known to those who knew him in Paterson, was Gaetano Bressi. He was employed in Hamil & Booth's silk mills. His ciose friend there was Caribonl Sperandio, the man who a few weeks ago shot down his foreman and then killed himself, leaving behind a let ter telling how he had been selected by lot to kill King Humbert, and, having no choice, owing to his living so far away from Italy, killed the foreman instead. A few months ago a man said to be Count Moleteeki. the head of the Italian anarchists, come to and during his slay Spernandlo and Bressi were his companions, and they showed him about the city and Introduced him to others. It would seem that his friend, having fal tered at regicide, Bressi took up his bur den where Sperandio refused it, and went across the ocean to carry out the decree that Humboldt should die. In manners Bressi was quiet. Men who worked beside him in Hamil & Booth’s mill say he was the last one they would select an an assassin. He went about his work quietiHe spoke little and volun teered nothing about himself. Each Saturday night he left the mill and hurriit away. He went to Hoboken, wher- his j ife and little girl are said to live. He na er brought them to Paterson. He remalil and awry until Monday morn ing. He roomed In the center of the an archist section. His ni.als were taken at the Hotel Bartholdi. The proprietor of the hotel says he knows the man well. He was tall and dark and had drooping shoul ders. To s me it was known that his rad ical ideas were extr. me and that he was of the inner circle of anarchists. Bressi entered the employ of Homil & Booth on April S, 1399. He worked steadi ly there until May 4, 1900. On that day he left the mill and was in Puterson but seldom afterward. On May 22 last he •sailed on the French steamer Havre for Europe. Where he spent the intervening time is not known. ITALIANS CONDEMN KILLING. Puterson tins Long Been a Hotbed of Anarchists. New York, July 30.—Among the better class of Italians nothing but words of re gret were heard to-day over the killing of King Humbert. A leading merchant of Paterson, who admitted his reason for not wanting his name mentioned, was that he. feared the anarchists and the Mafia, said he hoped the murder of the King would lead all nations to take vigorous steps to stamp out the organization. He said no one’s life was safe if he Incurred the enmity of' qny man in the organization. In dis cussing Bressi he said that he believed there had not been a drawing, but that Caribonl had been vouched for by Bressi: that Caribonl had weakened, and Bressi had to take his place and Caribonl killed himself. Paterson has long been a hotbed of an archists. Men here who are familiar more or less with the workings of the organization say that for years Paterson has contained more of the society than any other city in the United States, with the possible exception of Chicago. EFFECT OF ASSASSINATION. Italy Will Not Suffer Any Serious Consequences. Paris, July 31, 5:15 a. m.—One must go back to the time of the Lyons tragedy, when President Carnot wag assassinat ed under similar conditions and at almost the same hour, at the conclusion of a speech, to obtain a correct notion of the effect of the news of the crime at Monza. It was with Incredulity that the people read In the Eclair the brief telegram an nouncing the assassination, this paper be ing the only one that made that announce ment. but It waa not long before the real ity of the tragedy dawned upon them and the first feeling gave place to one of deep indignation. King Humbert, who knew Faria well, was a very popular figure here, and the diplomatic understanding that waa reach ed last year, blotted out all recollections of former division*. The general feeling la that Italy will not suffer any serious consequences from this unexpected event, the army being too devoted to the monarchy to permit trouble. The new Kkig is recognized as a worthy successor to his father, and In this the papers echo the opinion of Signor Luzzatl, former minuter of the Italian treasury, who was Interviewed Just before his departure for Milan. Signor Luzzatl, who saw King Humbert when hX" was about leaving for Monza, said that he came Into close relations with the Prince of Naples, finding him a highly educated man, possessing considerable knowledge of historical, military and ' economical questions. HU character seam ed resolute and firm and he evidently knew how to act with energy. Signor Luzzati accompanied the last statement with a significant Jesture, is though wishing to say that the young king was a man with a firm hand, and concluded with the words: "Italy in him possesses a vigorous sovereign.” An American Revolver. Monza, Jury 31.—1 t now appears that the revolver was of American manufacture, the calibre being nine millimetres.

OIIAATED A NEW TBIAU Bnpreme Conrt Saya l,sw of Altbl Should lie Cliurged. Tallahassee. Fla., July 30,-The Buprem Court has passed on the following cases: James Bong, Gettls Bong and Julius Oft, plaintiffs In error, vs. the state ol Florida, defendant In error, Orange coun ty. An Information was filed against the plaintiffs In error, charging them with trespass by taking and carrying away pineapple plants. Among the instruc tions requested by counsel for plaintiffs tn error to be given to the Jury was the following: "83th. It Is not necessary that the defendants shall prove an alibi beyond a reasonable doubt. It Is sufficient If the evidence offered to prove an alibi rnlaea a reasonable doubt In your minds whether or not the accused were at the scene of Ihe crime nnd participated therein. In such case it Is your duly to acquit the accused." This Instruction correctly stales the law us held by this court in Adams vs. stale, 28 Fla., 511. 10 South. Rep., 10. and we think the failure to give It constitutes reversible error. The defense Interposed by the defendants was an alibi, and they Introduced evidence rending to prove It. It was the right of the defendants to have the Jury lnsrrucf ed that they were net required to prove their defense lieyond a reasonable doubt, but that If Ihe evidence on that subject was sufficient to raise In the mind of the Jury a reasonable doubt that they were present when the alleged crime was com mitted and participated therein, that was all the law required to entitle them to an acquittal. • • • For he error pointed out the Judgment Is reversed and anew trial granted.

Darien, Ga., July 80.—The colored brother was more than usual In evidence in Darien Saturday. It was one of the happieet days In the year for negro poli ticians and their followers, being Ihe oc casion of the indorsement of county offi cers. The mass meeting was of more than usual Interest this year, owing to a con test over the chairmanship of the Re publican County Executive 'Committee. The action of the mass meeting was a sur prise in some respects, as two of tho county officers who have heretofore con trolled the support of the negroes with litile trouble, were this year turned down. Mr. Jesse A. Britt was Indorsed for ordi nary, In place of Mr. W. J. Donnelly, and Mr. A. C. Wylly for clerk of Ihe Superior Court, instead of Mr. 8. A. Way. The other county officers were all Indorsed, ex cept that as usual a colored candidate was nominated for representative. A mass meeting of Democrats has been called to take place at the Court House next Saturday, to select delegates to th* senatorial convention, elect an executive rommltlee and nominate or call a primary to nominate a candidate for representa tive. The failure of Liberty county to agree on a candidate for senator, this bo |ng that county's time to furnish a candi date. has thrown the contest Into the other two counties of the district. The friends of Messrs. Smiley and Warnell, the two candidates, are quite active here, and a lively time la expected at the mass meet in*. _ EA9TE.II9 TENNIS CHAMPIONS.
