CRIMES AND CRIMINALS;
A Tragedy in the City of Nashville
Friday.
AN EDITOR SHOT DOWNIN THE STREET
Nashville, Teun., December 24.—[Spe
cial.] —lntense excitement lias prevailed here
to-day over the fatal shooting of John J. Lit
tleton by Joseph R. Banks, botli leading re
publicans of the state. Trouble bus been
looked for some days, as the National Review
—Littleton’s paper—of December 17, con
tained an offensive allusion to Banks. There
was consequently little surprise, but great ex
citement, when about 10 o’clock the report
came that Littleton had been shot. Soon
hundreds of people were making their way
to the scone.
As gathered from eye-witnesses, the facts
appear to be about these: Mr. Littleton was
coming from his home, on High street towards
his office, and had got as far as the door of
Howard Sebray, in Watkins institute, when
he was halloed at from across the street, and
at about the same time, the man who called
FIRED FROM THE STEPS
of a little brick house across the street. An
other shot followed quickly, Mr. Littleton
falling and crying “Oh, Lord!” several times.
Mr. Littleton was walking along with his
hands in his overcoat pockets, and as lie fell
he drew his revolver, or it dropped from his
pocket. Some witnesses declare that he fired
once at Banks, but others affirm that he did
not shoot at all. As Littleton fell, Banks
stepped inside the door, got another double
barreled shot gun and tired twice inorq. Lit
tleton staggered to his feet and calling out,
“Oh, you coward!” started back to his home.
Mr. Daniel Ryan came to his assistance and
helped him to the gate. Littleton’s strength
almost failed him when lie came to the house,
and ho nearly sank. The physicians and
Father Delaney, of the Cathmic ehurch, were
sent for. Mr. Littleton made his profession of
the Catholic faith and was baptized by Father
I telaney.
As soen as the shooting was over. Banks
walked rapidly down to Cumberland alley, got
into a buggy and drove to the jail, where ho
surrendered himself. On his way to the jail,
he called Allen Hall, w ho was passing, and he
accompanied him to the jail. Officer Hanley
happened to come up at the jail and Banks
surrendered to him. In the meantime an im
mense crowd had gathered about Littleton’
home and the scene of the shooting. The
house from which the shooting was done is an
old brick building, with two rooms above and
two below, one of the lower rooms being occu
pied as a shoe shop. In the adjoining room
Banks had awaited Littleton’s appearance
since about four o’clock this morning. After
a consultation Drs. W. L. Nichols, W. T.
Briggs and C. L. Eve decided that the wounds
w ere fatal, and that
LITTLETON’S STATEMENT
should be taken. Justice Mackenzie was
summoned and Dr. Nichols said:
“Mr. Littleton: Dr. Briggs and I consider
your w ounds fatal, and I suppose you think
you will not recover.”
Mr. Littleton said in a firm voice; “Yes, sir;
I know that I am badly hurt.”
“I was walking up the street toward my
office, and suddenly I heard a shot fired from
behind me. Quick as thought, I felt a shock.
That shot felled me to the ground and sud
denly I realized that I had been wounded, and
everybody said he would shoot me in the
back. I was on the ground. I raised my
head. I had a revolver, having been previously
warned of the danger. My arm was filled
with shot so that I could not
use it. The suddenness of the
shock caused me to fall. I looked
and saw a man standing in the door, on the
upper side of the street with a gun sighted at
me. That num was Joe Banks. I said: ‘That
is enough: don’t ure again.’ He fired two
iiiore loads into my legs that shocked me. He
shot me twice in the legs. My recollection is
that
FIVE SHOTS WERE UH:ED.
I raised up and saw Joe Banks. He broke
and ran. I said ’watch the cow ard run from
a dead man.’ He ran around John Croek
| roll’s house with a smoking gun in his hand.
; 1 got up and came down the street, and mcot
iiig a gentleman asked him to assist me home.
T’ <m 1 cried, ‘Oh nrv wife and child.’ He
ga . * inc r:o warning. He tired twice while I
w. .on the ground. I did not use my revolver.
I col nut 11 a retime to get it out.”
Justice MacKonzie then asked: “Air. Lit
tleton, you make this statement, believing you
are going to die.”
Mr. Littleton replied:
“Ido.”
Mr. Littleton then sent for his wife and gave
her directions for closing up his business mat
ters, being very safely poised throughout.
Banks was seen in jail but declined to be
interviewed. He, however, denied shooting
without warning, and said there were five shots,
lour by himself and one Iron: Littleion. Each
of the four barrels he Ifired contained sixteen
buckshot. Os these perhaps forty entered
Littleton’s body. The physicians pronounce
Littleton’s wounds fatal beyond a doubt.
Both tie n:en lire prominent republicans,
but belong to different sections of the party.
Ji: tiie roccnt municipal election Littleton was
the republican nominee for mayor, but was
bitterly opposed by the faction to which Banks
belonged, and, although an independent dem
ocrat drew largely from the democratic nomi
nee's vote, Littleton was defeated. In the
following issue of his paper—that of December
17—he published a long article containing se
vere personal reilections upon some of the re
publicans who took an active part in the anti-
Kerclreval movement. In that article T. A.
Kercheval, Frank T. Reid, J. R. Banks and
I!. T. Gregory were especially mentioned, but
the severest animadversion personal re
flection were wade upon Kercheval and
Banks. The reference to Mr. Banks was as
follows:

I A Battle Between Outlnwa and a Vigilance
Committee.
Ozark, Mo., December 24.—Almus Stone,
of this city, returned from Stone county yes
< terda v.and says that a deadly w arfare,is raging
I near Galena, m that comity. Very little is
I known of the stoiy of the feud, but it seems
I that Hu- Terry brothers, five in number, living
I near Maybury ferry, on White river, have for
yi ars lielied the law and intimidated tire coni
' inunity. They have been chargeu with vari
! ous < rm: s, including l.orse stealing, and
I finally a vigilance committee was organized to
I drive them out of the county. Tire Terrys,
i with their fliends, overawed the leaders oi lire
regulating movement, and the outlaws held
I their ground. Two weeks ago one of the Fer
: rys wa-s shot from ambush and killed. Soon
| after this one Weeks, a member of tire anti
i Terry faction, was shot by an unknown
1 assassin.
; A few days after lire death of Weeks, Gar
' rett, a friend of the Terrys, was fired upon by
Grant Wagner and William Ambrose, who
i han secreted themselves behind a tree. Am
' brose was armed with a double-barreled
I brcai’li-loaiiing shotgun, and Wagner with a
i repeating Winchester rille. Garrett earned a
| M inchesti'i' rille, and when fired upon by the
I a;-m-difs, jumped from bis ho ire and took a
position behind a tree and about forty-five
, yards from Ambrose and Wagner. Tin- fight
' which ensued lasted about fifteen minutes,

The Cling Search of Two Brothers—The
Result.
Centre, Ala., December 24—[Special.]—
The jury has brought in a verdict of "not
guilty” in the case* of murder against Carroll
Mcßee. Ju ItWi Mcßee’s father moved from
Tennessee to Cedar Bluff, with his sou Carroll.
Tire latter always estimated himself the best
man In the comfnunity, and on reaching his
new home and learning that one of the Hard
wicks was the bully of the place, was anxious
to fight him. Ho boasted of his ability to
throw Hardwick in a wrestle. The boys urged
him on and w ent to the village store, where
young Hardwick and his brother Joe were
found. Mcßee here repeated his boast, but
Hardwick declined to enter such a test.
Then Mcßee, turning to Joe Hardwick,
who was sitting on the counter,
said, “If I can not get Hardwick to wrestle
with me 1 can throw his brother. In the at
tempt Mcßee was thrown to the ground.
Crestfallen, but si ill anxious to show his
strength, ho attacked Joo again, with the
same result. Mcßee then went out, mid, put
ting his open pocket-knife up his sleeve, re
turned and said: “You may be able to throw
me, but you can’t whip me,” accoiupaning his
words with what appeared to be a blow of the
Jist. but really leaving behind a fatal knife
stab. Mcßee ran to his horse, mounted it and
rodo off. The other Hardwick gave pursuit,
following him into Indian territory mid all
over Hie west, finally, after twenty-one years,
capturing him, and bringing him back to the
scene of his crime.

A Close Shave with a Ghoulish Gang of
Eight. Men.
Augusta, Ga., December 24.—[Special.]—
An unsuccessful attempt was made nt 2 o'clock
this a. m. by a gang of eight men to rob the
negro cemetery of a dead body. The superin
tendent, by some means, heard that there was
n movement to rob the graves and stationed a
guard concealed in the shrubbery to watch a
newly made grave. At 2 o’clock’he observed
eight men stealthily walking towards the very
grave lie was watching. They lost no time,
but commenced immediately to dig up the
body. The guard waited some time, and then
commenced crawling towards them. He got
near enough to seize one of the party, but he
quickly broke and all tied. The guard gave
pursuit, and fired seven times at the fleeing
ghouls, but without effect. On tiie outside
they jumped into a spring wagon and quickly
drove off. The guard., upon returning found
their tools. He says it was very dark and lie
couldn’t sec their faces, but ho thinks they
were negroes. The negroes are very much ex
cited over the occurrence,and if the guilty par
ties are found, there will probably bo an at
tempt made to lynch them.
Results in Another M irder—Tlio Perpetra
tor Escapes.
Quitman, Ga., December 24.—[Special.]—
At Marven, in this county, twelve miles north
of Quitman, there was another outgrowth of
the Hendry-Riley sued. Yesterday, W. AV.
Hendry threatened A. C. Riley’s life, and this
morning they met at the neighborhood store.
Hendry offered Riley a cigar. Not being on
speaking terms, Riley was insulted, and some
words passed, and upon which Hendry push
ing him, Riley drew his pistol and shot him.
The ball went through the lungs and one
through the bowels. Hendry sank rapidly
and is now dead. In the excitement Riley
walked away, and is still at large.
A Slanderer Gets More Than He Bargained
For.
Clarksville, Ga., December 24.—[Spe
cial]—On last Wednesday, James Stewart, of
the I’orter factory, threemiles from this place,
insulted the sister of Ben and David
Crane. He was walking leisurely towards
the factory;, and when he reached the factory
store a crowd was assembled. Among them
was David Crane and also
Ben Crane David had a gun
with two big barrels and Ben had a cowhide
with a long leather lash. David halted Stew
art with a gun cocked and required him to
stand, and at the same time saying to his
brother Ben “lay it on.” Ben did lay it on
and Stewart stood still. One of our most
prominent citizens was on the field and saw
the whole occurrence and describes the
cracking of tire wip like unto that of a pack of
fire crackers when the main fuze is on fire.
The crowd stood still and no one interfered.
Mr. Stewart, when he. was let go, cried like a
child and as soon as possible Heil, not with a
mark about his brow but with marks from the
iop of his hat to the iict l of his shoe. Mr.
Stewart was always considered a very good
man and very well thought of.

A Soliooner Captain’s Body I'omul With
Marks of Violence Upon It.
Philadelphia. December 23. Captain
Walton, of the schooner C. G. Granger, makes
the following statement:
“On Tuesday morning, tire 20th inst., my
mate and crew boarded the schooner D.and F.
Kelly fifty miles east of Cape Henlopen, and
found the captain lying dead under the lazaret
and not burled at sea, as published. There
were finger marks on his throat and several
bruises on bis head. His pockets had been
ransacked and some of them torn. Nothing
remained in his pockets but the tow bill.whieli
had been paid at Norfolk. His pistol was ly
ing on the quarter deck with one chamber
empty. I think Captain Taylor met with foul
play a»d had tried to defend himself with his
pistol. His clothes were perfectly dry and he
was lying in a dry place, apparently hidden
away to cover all traces of the crime. His
body is still aboard the schooner.”

last night about 8:30, by an unknown person
concealed in the shrubbery of his front yard.
The, ball, of 44-calibre, entered his right side,

definitely executed. This fiendish attempt is
greatly deplored by our citizens, and their
indignation is at a high pitch.

publishing injurious statements concerning
Governor Nicholls’s official conduct, and for
refusing to correct them when proofs of their
falsity were presented. The Gazette, of which
Judge J. E. Trimble was editor, in its next
issue assailed tiie moral character of Ramsey.
Ou the 18th of November Ramsey published,
in the Farmersville Advocate, a card signed by
a number of citizcnsof Farmersville,certifying
to his high-moral rectitude and integrity, and
at the same time lie announced the tact that
by reason of his conscientious scruples Ire was
prevented from appealing to the dueling code to
wash out the affront put upon him by Editor
Trimble. The matter seems to have remained
in this condition until the two men had a
chance meeting Monday evening, when the
fatal altercation took place. Immediately
after the shooting last evening, the coroner
empaneled a jury and held an examination
over tiie body of James A. Ramsey, and after
taking tire testimony of witnesses a verdict
was rendered “that said Ramsey came to bis
death by a pistol shot from tire hands of J. E.
Trimble.”
The corc-jer and jury proceeded to hold an
inquest over the body of Judge J. E. Trimble,
and, after the examination of several wit
nesses, adjourned until tills morning, when a
verdict was rendered, “That J. E. Trimble
came to his death by being shot by parties un
known.”
Tlio bodies o f the men wore removed to their
homes after the inquest. In examining Ram
sey’s remains it was found that hehad received
one shot near tlio hip anil another in tho
heart, which caused his immediate death. A
pistol fully loaded was found in his pocket.
Judge Trimble was shot in both arm and tho
leit temple. Both men fell in
close proximity to each other.
Judge Trimble's revolver contained two
empty cbaiiilrers. Tho fnneraiof tho deceased
took place this afteinoon, Judge Trimble be
ing buried by tire Knights of Honor and Ram
say by the knights of Pythias. Judge Trim
ble loaves a widow uml seven children. Mr.
ftainsay was a prominent lawyer, deacon of
the Baptist church and president of the Bap
tist Bunday school. He h aves a widow and
two young children. Both mon are sadly
missed by tire community at large, as well us
by their relatives.

Terrible Murder all for Money.
Troy, Now York, December 19. -S. S.
Crandell, formerly a lawyer ami real estate
broker in Troy, today shot his wife, his moth
er-in-law, Mrs. S. S. Stone; his step-danj'hter,
Julia Bulkioy, and himself, at their Lome in
Ballston Spa. All are dead but the wife, ami
she is dying. The parties had a controversy
over money matters. His wife waa tho di
vorced wife of Crandell’s former lv'/ai a.s.?o
ciute. Crandell was once a candidate for
sheriff in Washington county, and defeated.
IL; was extravagant in his habits. His wife
had money, and the quarrel was over its con
trol.
The place known n.s the ‘‘Colonel Baker
place” was bought by Mrs. Stone about a year
ago. Her family consisted of Mrs. Stone, her
sisters, Mrs. Ellis, Mrs. Crandell and her
daughter by a former marriage, and her son
in-law Crandeli. Mr . Stone was about G2years
old. Her husband died several years ago,
leaving a large properly. The daughter re
fused to accept any property whiL her mother
was alive. The daughter, .Julia V. tTanddll,
was «’7 years old. It is said that Crandell rep
resented himself to be wealthy and worth 4 H),-
(XX), and finally manied Mrs. BnlUey. Their
married life had been unhappy. The family,
except Mrs. Ellis, were at the table eating
br<‘akfu t when Crandell began the shooting.
Tiie ladies ran from the table to the kitchen
and he ran after them, firing across the room.
JI is spite seem»-d to be against Mrs. Stone. He
fired promiscuously among the othi r.s at Mrs.
Stone. e
Mfrs. St( ne ran out <]<?ors in the snow some
rods from the house. He went to the doorand
shot at her. She fell exhausted in the snow
and died soon after, with a bullet in her
breast. Crandell then turned al»iut, loaded
his revolver and at short range tired at Ids
stepdaughter Julia. Tho shot took effect near
the navel. It was fired ho dose that the white
apron she wore was burned by the dcr.
Mrs. Crandell received two wounds in the
groin.
Crandell then ran from the room, and was
not seen again until ids dead body was found
in the cupola of tlu bouse. Mrs. Ellis at onc6
raised an alarm, and people noon came flocking
so the scene. It v. as too late to be of any as
sistance. Officers were placed in charge of tho
house, and noone outside was a«!rnftted. Tho
coroner was notified. When the reporter left
the house Mrs. Crandell was very low, and no
attempt to probe her wounds had lieee made,
A later reiK>rt is that Mrs. Crandell died at
about 10 o'clock.
V. hat a Chance!
A few short weeks ago that young girl was
the personification of health, vigor and licauiy.
Tho blush upon her cheeks rivalled that of the
rose ; her step was light and buoyant,her every
movement was a revelation of |>erfect phy L al
health. Yet now she is pallid end Laggard,
and her sup'-rabundant vitality has given place
to a strange dullness and lassitude. 'A bai has
caused this change? Functional irregularities,

Prescription,” a remedy to winch thousands of
