Pittsburg, Pa., June 13.—A
bright young inventer of this place,
Leander Riggs, i» supposed to be
the victim of a hypnotist, and is
lying at the point of death, while
his doctors are looking at each
other ia •astoniehin'ent. Last night
Doctors Gentry, Luther, Rach
man and Dickson were called to
the Riggs reeidence, where they
found the yo*ng man suffering >m
awful agony..
A ax-inch incision was made in
the stomach, and it disclosed a
stick exactly-eight and one-,q«ar

half an iuok m diameter. Slow

FAM ANIMALS DYING,
Tenibte Ravages «n Louisiana,
Messissiooianil Arkansas.
Vicksburg, Miss.,.June 13. — The
planting interests in this section
are seriously nietiaoed, and at a
critical time, by 4he ravages of
oharbon, or anthrax, which, hav
ing-broken out io.North Louisiana
a weeks age is killing stock
and cattle of all kinds in igreat
numbers, and hoe more recently
invaded both Arkansas and Mis
sissippi.
The iLouisianaiDarishes effected
are among the-vichest in tbeState,
iiwiuding Madison, Morehouse,
Frenalin, Richland, Tensae., Con
cordia and Eaat;and 'West-Carroll.
Phillips and Chicot counties, in
Arhaoeas, are also affected.; and
tbc-disease has appeared iu Boli
var, Hesaquena, Warren and Clai
borne-counties, (though in these
the«cases are few tin number.. It is
no exaggeration tto say’ that ithou
sat&de of mules, Ihorsea eowe and
hog* have died,-sad the disease is
still spreading.
Many plantations have ny'work
stock left. To matee the siuation
worse, old remedies for oharbon
seem'ineffectual lit) the moat of
cases, the disease being either
more virulent or entirely different
and, owing to the -exhaustion of
the American supply, planters are
j now waiting for importations from
I Paris of the only preventive, -the
the Pasteur lymph.
Several cases have occurred
among the negroes, aud two deaths
are reliably reported in Tensas
Parish. Tqe disease, -so far, has
been most virulent in Tensas and
Richland parishes, where the lose
to planters is enormous. Cows die
in 24 ncurs after being attacked.
Hogs and dogs, which devou the
carcasses, speedily die. Die dead
animals are being burned in or
der to destroy thh infection.
Davis Monument Site.
Richmond, June 12. — The de
sign committee of the Jefferson
Davis Monument Association met
yesterday. It is understood that
they selected a design but owing
to the absence of out-of-town
members they adjourned until the
27th without formally accepting
the design selected. From the
plan of the foundation which is
to be laid, at once, it would appear
that the monument will take the
shape of a mausoleum, not unlike
thaterected to the memory ot
President Garfield.

SAM-LAMB THE VICTIM-
His Elder Brother Georg's shot
Hint Three Times And
Claims the Act was
Self Defense
Washington D. C. June IS.—
The shocking details of a myrder
pxs assault iu Alexandria last
! .--light in whicn an elder brother is
responsible for his younger broth
-er’s blood, recall unpleasantly
the story of the first es aid murder
’tragedies.
George Lamb, on the provoca-j
tions of his younger brother at-1
tacking him with -a knife, replied
with the ever-ready pistol, and
not content with the first shot,
fired three times at the assailaet,
with the fierxUsii and 'brutal de
termination to have his brother’s
blood. It was a reenactment of
the tragedy of Cain and Abel.
George Lamb is naigtht engineer,
of Portnerls brewery .in Alexan
dria.
For a lowg time there has been
bad blood between thf two -men
aud Sam threatened several.times
to “do” his brother »t the first
opportunity. About midnight£aai
went .to the brewery And the .two
became involved in a quarrel «du
ring which Sam made a vicious
attack on George with a knife..
The latter, in it if
claimed, fired five shots at his
brother, three of which .took ef
fect.
The first w.wuiid Sana recewed
was in the nae-lc, the ball burying
itself .deep in .the flesh.. The sec
ond wound wae in tne back, the
seriouaness of .the injury here be
ing as jet undetermined. The last
bullet broke the left arm of the
younger brother and this put a
stop to his intended assault ou his
brother George with the knife.
Lieutenant Smith of the Alex
andria police heard the report of
George Lamb’s pistol aud going
over to the brewery found Sam ly
ing on the floor in a semi-couscious
condition, writhing in pair.
Ihe story of the shooting was
told the lieutenant, and aftei plac
ing the injured man in Dr. Jones’
care George was ai rested and lock
ed up.
The direct cause of the shoot
ing is unknown, but the story told
by George Lamb is believed to be
true. It has been generally known
that Sam has threatened his broth
er, but that he intended to carry
out his threats no one for a mo
ment believed.
George Lamb is a married man,
thirty-four years old, and is re
garded as an honest, steady fellow.
His brother, who is thirty-one
years, bears an unenviable repu
tation. The injured man, after re
ceiving attention from Dr. Jones,
was sent to the Infirmary. His in
juries are believed to be fatal.
DIDN’T AGREE TO MARRY
Viscount Sudlgy Wins b u t he
will Provide Handsomely
London. June 13. The trial of
the breach-of-promise brought by
Miss May Gore, the actress, gainst
Viscount Sudley, eldest son of
the Earl of Arran, claiming $75,-
000, developed some features of
interest today.
The Yiscount swore that he had
never mentioned marriage to the
plaintiff either by word or letter,
and that her statement in this
connection was pure invention’
when he asked her to leave Lieu
tenant Stourton he had not offer
ed her any inducement except as-
sect i< n. IL loved and respected
her, and his long association with
had not changed that feeling. He
did not intend, however, to make
any sacrifice except. a financial
one, and if he maintained his re
lations with her he had to give up
his allowance.
This caused the Chief Justice to
remark that this was not a high
order of love and respect.
Counsel for the plaintiff referr
ing to the “God bless you’s’’ in
the defendant’s letters asked;
“Do you mean that you com
mended to God in ydur prayers 1
the woman you were trying to I
purchase with a portion, of your
allowance?"’
“Certainly I did,” replied the
Viscount.
The defendant’s answer caused
a sensation in court.
Viscount Sudley said he had in
tended to provide a permanent
home for the plaintiff ; he admit
ted that he prevailed upon the
plaintiff to sign a couvenant not
to sue htm, and erven if he won
the present action he in tended to
invest =515,000 in her behalf.

It had a spring-lock. Baby Hollis
