Fred was near Dock. Fred had a rod of iron in his hand when he came up. Dock asked me not to strike another lick and asked Slaughter not to strike another lick. He said mean what I tell you. I don't want you to strike another Slaughter kept on at work, and made attempt to strike another lick and as was going down Dock Smith shot him. Dock told him third time not to strike the timber. Slaughter was standing with his left side to Smith. When Dock shot Slaughter caught hold of him, there was nothing between them. Slaughter pulled out his pistol from right hand pants pock- et, catching Smith with left hand. When Slaughter caught Dock. Fred went up to strike him. I could not tell whether Slaughter fired before Fred struck him. Fred hit him on the head several times ; there were two gashes on Slaughter's head. The iron was feet long J inch through.

Dock shot more than once, so did Slaughter. Did not swear that Fred struck Slaughter before he fired; don't know now whether he struck him before or after ho fired first, second or third shot.

I rode on left Dawson on right of buggy. Slaughters house is on right, saw no one at Slaughters. I found Dock out feeding cow. Asked him if we could work on mill that day. Said we could. He had not eaten breakfast and told me to get things ready while he was eating. Mill yards from house near. I went down to get up picks while Dock was eat- breakfast. Picks were bits of steel weighing about pound each. I came with picks before he finished breakfast, I then went back and got racket handle which I had forgotten. When I return- ed he came up with picks. Saw Atkinson coming up behind us. He caught up with us. We walked on till we reached this path. Dock said lets walk by yonder. I said you may get in ;. difficulty with Slaughter which you may regret Dock turned out when he reached that path- We saw them on our way. We heard a remark, Dock said Slaughter is working on my land. Brother said Slaughter work on my land if I know it. I was in road Dock was a few steps from me. Ho said he was not going to raise a fuss. We went to the place of tragedy turning from road at school house. We approached near them- The first man was Sutton, next Slaughter and were work- on same cut feet apart, between us. Nearest was Dock. Dock says I forbid you working on my Slaughter I forbid you working on says to strike there any j also to Slaughter. both not to work any more. I did not say a word to Did not open my mouth- Slaughter says to Hardy strike, on. Slaughter raised his to strike and broth I shot him- Slaughter shot taking pistol from pants pocket. Slaughter drew his pis- as soon as brother shot stepped across tho timber to brother. They hugged and shot as fast as they could. Both had self-acting pistol. They were hugging together with left arm and shooting. I approached or feet to separate them. Slaughter snapped his pistol at me- I struck him with the piece of iron, at same time I grabbed muzzle of his pistol with my left hand. Brother was then in Slaughter's arms. He had not fallen. Shooting had ceased by this time. My brother fell. We had pistol and iron together. When I saw my brother had fall- en I quit my hold and knelt by Dock and called him, he failed to reply. In a short time Mrs. Slaughter came out there. I picked up Slaughter's pistol and offered it to her. Said she did not want it. Don't know who carried it away. Saw Dr. Cox have both pistols. Slaughter's pistols was empty. I first knew Slaughter was out there working when Atkinson overtook us. Dock and I had no conversation about Slaughter that morning. His name had not been mentioned I had no knowledge of my broth- intent, simply walked as any one would with his- brother. We had no to hurt or in- Slaughter. Did not know my brother had a pistol until he shot. Did not say a word to Mr. Had forbidden no one to work on land. Got iron from mill, I was using it as a walking stick along road. Was taking the piece of iron from mill to have a handle welded on it. I first pasted Slaughter's about an hour before the fight from my house to brother's about sun- rise. Near yards to scene of fight. Between my brother's house and Slaughter's nothing to obscure view where Slaughter was cutting timber. Could not see them good from school house Line fence between Slaughter's gate and school house. Near yards from fence to school house, growth of pine Path back of school house running par- to fence. We took foot path to Slaughter. Did not say any- thing about cutting. Could have heard cutting and could have seen men moving about. We could tell whether men wore beyond fence or inside field. Brother staid in house to get breakfast while I went to mill. Did not see where he got pistol from, don't know whether he carried pistol or not. Had mill picks and ratchet. Had three picks. We left Dock's front gate together. He put tools over at school house. I carried the piece of iron to place they were cutting. The first man passed was Sutton. was at opposite end of timber from Slaughter. Distance or feet Dock was immediately in front of Slaughter. I was a little to the left. Dock was on my right. We were about even. I had no pistol that morning. Dock was the first to speak. Dock asked Slaughter not to another lick. I was saying nothing to any one. Never said a word to about work- on that land. Never had been on land with Dock and hauled off timber which Slaughter had cut Had been on land in dispute and carried off rail timber. Don't know where Slaughter was. Dock was with me Davies was in crowd with gun, he was going hunting. He had a gun. I never carried gun. Don't know who carried gun home. After work was done I carried gun to Dock's house. Gun was in the woods. Carried gun out in sight of his wife and children. Were not on friendly terms with Slaughter. He was on bad terms with Dock. I felt that Slaughter had no right to be on the laud. Don't remember whether I spoke to any one about going upon land or not I know Cory, a J. P. of that township. Knew it was against law to carry concealed weapons. Don't know I asked Cory whether I had a right to carry gun upon the premises. Don't remember ask- any one about carrying gun upon premises. Don't know whether conversation with on business was before or this hauling. Our was about a plank. was road-overseer. I asked him if ho had filled my ditch up. He said he would put plank back. I went to Ayden, the telegraph operator was the first man I saw. Did relate any particulars. Did not tell him where I was standing. Did not tell him I was standing down there in the road and tried to get Dock not to go and I staid there to wait for him; did not tell him was too far away to separate them the reason I did not interfere. Don't know I saw Chas. Smith or not Don't know whether struck log fore pistol fired or not. fired second shot. Firing was as rapid as a man could pull trig- His right hand was to me and he had nothing to do but to turn and snap. The time was so short it took me some time to re- cover, I did not make for Slaughter as soon as he put his down and drew his pistol. Did not strike him but two times. Did not count shots at time of firing. I picked up pistol, it was empty. Snapped pistol at me more. Slaughter had to cross over the timber or walk by end. Knew Slaughter and Dock were not on good terms. Don't know whether Slaughter went armed for Dock, had heard it. Never heard that Dock said Slaughter could not kill me and him too. Never heard Dock say if Slaughter came on that land while he was there that he would kill him. Mrs. Slaughter never forbid me going on laud. Never hauled any wood off land when Mrs. Slaughter forbade. HENRY I knew the time Dock Smith and Slaughter were killed- I was living at Fred Smith's Had been there or got up at hour and half to daylight to bring tobacco to town but abandoned the trip. From Fred to Dock's about one mile. Fred said ho was going to the mill after pick. Said I could go or stay. I saw him next after the men were killed. Don't know tho exact time, sun was an hour or hour and half high. Hardy came soon after I got at scene of tragedy. I re- marked that I never remembered where two men got killed in this way, and he remarked if had had an other ball in his pistol three would have been kill- ed ; said Slaughter snapped pistol at Fred- Did not know whether Fred struck before Slaughter snapped or not Did say Slaughter snapped at him after Dock fell; did not say firing ceased before Fred struck. Did not say that Fred said anything to him ; did not say that Fred said or did anything before began. I went out woods on the occasion the Smiths hauled timber off this land; started hunt- Dock got me to help load carts. I drove cart out of woods. Worked to yards from fence, fence is south of Slaughter's house Didn't know about the land being in dispute. First conversation with was about half hour after fight. Picks at mill needed sharpening. Dock worked black- smith shop. Fred said the et needed mending. Fred did not any gun with him. I was at Fred's at time of shooting. talked with also at Dock's house and at mill he left off part that he told me first time, did not tell about snapping pistol- from Per- son county, came here last Mrs. Slaughter was not there when I got there, she had gone back to house- No one mediately present when talked with me. Was not at in- quest. Don't know that I told what said to me. Don't know who I told first; reckon I told Fred soon after it happened. I know I told him. Don't know that I over told anybody else. Did not think of his not saying any- thing about not snapping pistol. Don't know what he told me; did not swear to Gov. Jar vis that he left off telling about snapping pis- Don't remember what told me at mill. The gun I had belonged to Fred. I started from Fred's, got right smart ways from him ; yards was farthest. They stayed in woods and I haul- ed ; the gun stayed in woods. I think Fred took the gun ; he stayed at Dock's for dinner, I went to Fred's. I had heard them speak about tho disputed land. Fred always spoke to tor when they passed ; don't know whether Slaughter spoke to him. JOSEPH WILSON. I know where both Smiths live. I live this side of Dock's. A per- son going after Dr. Cox from of tragedy would pass my house. Saw going after Dr. Cox, he told mo Smith and Slaughter had about killed each other. Was standing in road and saw him or minutes later going back to Slaughter's. He told me how it happened; said Slaughter looked and said yonder comes the Smiths, and that Slaughter changed his pistol from hip to front pants pocket; Smiths were close to Slaughter; raised to strike timber and Dock shot him; they con tinned getting closer together and got there arms around each other, kept shooting till Dock fell; then Slaughter snapped at Fred and Fred struck him. Hardy came along behind the doctor and stopped long enough to tell me to gratify my curiosity ; he was excited; he is a man of character- MOORE, Remember the day of homicide, went there about o'clock; smart crowd there, about or suppose I heard tell how it occurred several times, ho freely and voluntarily. He said ho was at work with Slaughter when Slaughter said yonder comes the Smith's and then took pistol from hip pocket and put it in front pants pocket- Kept on working until they came up. Dock asked Slaughter if he had not forbid him working on land, Slaughter asked him same. Dock told him not work any fur- Slaughter worked on and Dock shot him. Slaughter shot, then they hugged each other and continued firing. Slaughter snapped pistol at Fred or times, Fred struck and they had over the iron. Cross about miles off. Dr. Cox had been there. Saw Fred Cox and Sam Was present at inquest and heard testimony ; he made different statements from what he did in woods. I did not volunteer to make state- that he made different state- from what he did in woods. I mentioned it to Gaskins while the examination was going on- He said after Slaughter snapped pistol at Fred he hit him; that Dock was in Slaughter's arms till he fell; that after second shot Dock and Slaughter hugged to- ; that Dock fell after Slaughter snapped at Fred. LAZARUS DAWSON. Remember day of homicide- Was going to Ayden. Passed de- about sun rise in field about yards from road; he hailed me and asked if he could ride up to mill with me. He got in buggy I drove on ; passed by Slaughter's house. I was riding on right side on left I was on side next saw no one when passing there. Nothing said about tor except where ditch was filled Defendant got out at Dock Smith's. C C. BLAND. Live near Ayden about miles from Fred's. Prior to this lived about half wile below him. Am Primitive Baptist preacher- Know Fred all his life, his is good. Know J. A. since he was years old, his char- good. W. S. Wooten, W. J. house, E- E- Powell and A- G. Cox testified that character of Fred Smith was good. JESSE BROWN. I went to of homicide minutes after it happened, saw Mrs. Slaughter and Fred Smith. Dock Smith and Slaughter were both dead. I went with Sam on cart; tied horse in yard and walked out to where dead bodies were, saw a gun be- tween Slaughter's house and the bodies- Fred was standing over his brother. Mrs. Slaughter ask- ed if he would not stand and notice her husband, her health was bad, said she would like to get him moved and asked if I would help. Fred said he would help carry him to house and said he would not had it done for all tho lauds, he did all he could to stop it but could not. Mrs. Slaughter told him she did not want him to touch him. THE STATE RESUMES. At this point the State took up the case again and introduced other witnesses. F. Q. BUTTON- I was at Slaughter's day of kill- He, and I went out to work. Had been there half hour or hour when Dock Fred Smith came out in woods where we were; they came in or feet of Slaughter. said I forbid you working on my land f Slaughter said j sir, haven't I forbid you coming over here on my Then Dock said stop, don't you strike another lick; told and me the same- Fred stood near his brother about feet from I was about steps from them. Never heard Fred say anything to was facing them, between them and me. Slaughter told to go ahead- As was going to make a lick Dock shot him ; was in or feet of him. As soon Dock fired they hitched.

They were hitched when I heard second shot. Fred was in there hitting Slaughter over the head with iron while they were shooting. Slaughter had hat on when fight began but not at end of it. Don't know who fell first. Each fired several shots. I did not tell Coroner Fred hit after shooting was done, told him what I have told here. did not snap at Fred. I could have seen it if it had been done. I so swore before the oner. Cross between and o'clock. Hoard them coming through woods. I looked and saw they were the Smiths ; don't know whether or Slaughter had seen them or not; I was nearer to them. Dock said to each one don't you strike another lick- Slaughter said to go ahead. Dock shot while he was making his lick. Did not see Slaughter take pistol from one pocket and put it in another. Don't know how many licks Fred struck ; he had hold of Slaughter with, left hand hitting with right. Know the land ; know when the Smiths went there and got some timber or rails. I saw them ; they came about yards from Slaughters house. Fred had a gun. It was last March. SLAUGHTER- I am the widow of Slaughter. Was in my kitchen fixing breakfast. He was about yards from house. Heard a pistol fire, then heard several shots. Looked out saw three men all together shooting. I ran out and saw Slaughter down. Dock Smith was dead and Fred kneeling by him. shirt was on fire and bin face covered with blood and a gash his head- I thought he was shot in head- In a few minutes Fred had the pistols in his hand, said he wished none had ever been made ; came up and handed me one saying it it was Mr. I did not notice him ; he laid it on stump. Don't know if he had anything his hand. I asked him what he came there for and killed Mr. Slaughter. The first persons who came were and Brown. I sent for doctor. Defendant said no need for a doctor here- Slaughter was dead when Dr. Cox got there- Fred said he was go- have Dock moved to his house; said he would assist me in moving Slaughter. I told him I did not want him to put his hand on him. Fred said it is all over now and hoped this would put an end to the enmity. I told him it was a dear way to end it, if he was the Christian he pro fessed to be be would have come and tried to get it right and not to kill; said he had done his part of the praying. He has not been at my house in years; had been bad feeling between them. Have seen him on the land several times. Dock and Fred walking. Fred had gun. Slaughter was away from at time. Fred had gun and passed my house whistling, apparently to attract attention. He offered no reason for being there that morning; pointed to Slaughter and said that man had no business on the land. I told him Slaughter had a deed for it ; he said we have a deed for it, but this is no time to discuss that. character is good. Cross living there years; they have been fussing ever since ; been enmity between them years. Dock lived nearest us.

Mr. Warren, late that evening took his gun and went to the fish pond and laid low for about a half an hour, when he discovered a ripple the water, looked and saw the head of something bobbing up and down. Grasping his gun he took aim and fired, and something jumped out of the water. Beaching it he found it to be a muskrat about inches long. A good shot for the Corporal. He killed another one later in the week about the same size. The rats had dug through the dam letting out nearly all the water.

THE ENEMY. Thia Well Has a Fox BETTER TIMES. There is assurance of better times. The probable early passage Great Marie Among I I h- a Sure Death or Dollar Lost to the Owners. The a pest about the size of a small strawberry, is working great havoc among the oyster beds in Delaware bay and streams. Capt. Moses of the oyster schooner White Lily, that the destructive powers of the borer have been known to oyster- men only a few years. He had fol- lowed oyster digging nearly thirty- five years, and the first borer he saw was about ten years ago, but their ravages in the oyster beds were comparatively unnoticed until last year. Capt. said year the number of dead oysters with holes made by borers in the shell became so great that were alarmed. This year the work of the borers has become a grave matter, and if it continues many bays will become depopulated of oysters. From one bed we dredged on this trip we got twelve hundred baskets of oysters, but out of these only two hundred were good, the dead oysters having been killed by borers. A peculiar thing about the ravages of the borers is their selection of the best oyster beds. We have found this to be true times this season. We have found a bed of small oysters almost entirely from borers. This bed will be separated from another bed of larger oysters by two hundred feet, this latter bed will be so badly affected by the creatures that it will hardly pay to work it. what I can learn from the destruction wrought by borers Is more severe in Delaware bay than in other places. work of the borer this year makes a double misfortune, the oyster beds were badly damaged by the big storm in August and Very few people who are not in the oyster dredging business know anything of the methods of the borer. When I first took notice of its work I secured several oysters just after the borer had fastened it- self to the shell. When the borer fastens itself it holds on like a leech, and it is with difficulty that it can be removed with the lingers. the borer fastens it- self to the oyster shell near the edge and then the oyster is not killed. When the hole of the borer is made near the of the shell the oyster is attacked in its vital parts and dies in three or four days after the hole is first Some of the bed owners near Maurice river have lost large sums of money this year on account of the borer. Thomas Munsey, who has a number of largo beds, it is said, will ten thousand dollars. other men have lost nearly as much through this calamity, an la number of men have lost in the neighborhood of two or three thousand dollars. All say there can be no way of taking away the borer without destroying the oyster beds. the Wilson tariff has something to the improved aspect of affairs, not so much because of the intrinsic merits of the bill as on account of the promised basis for commercial dealings enterprise. But the insurance of better rests chiefly upon the more solid foundation of self-reliance in the manifold engagements of I life. The alluring hope of Govern- aid, which has beguiled our people, is being abandoned, and men looking more to i their own brave hearts strong arms to bring and Achieve fortune and fame. Nothing is more than the servile dependence upon the assistance of Ail men arc or less influenced their environments and the mutual relations existing between members of the same community, but, all, every man is artificer of his own Con may be ever so favorable. but the man will be a failure who hopes to float to affluence on the incoming wave of general pros- unassisted by his effort. There is a hop fill promise of better times in the assiduity with which men women of to-day pressing forward their individual fortunes.

What the Grip Is. is an Enterprise Thai Like OM Methodism Is Religion on Fire. oddest, sincerest, religious enterprise of the present day is the Salvation Army. The key to it is its to save men; nothing else. It docs not want lo do anything more and at- tempts nothing schools, no education, no religious training, nothing but to get men into the kingdom of God. It will get them in any way it can. It has no dignity to save, no conventionalities to con- sider. Why care for a sneer when there is a soul to save It is an army in in reality a church; but a very strange kind of a church. It is a cross between Methodism and like old Methodism, it is religion on fire, or charged with and, Quakerism, it has no sacraments. It knows and cares nothing about baptism and the Lord's supper, and yet it has its confession of the faith, in joining the army, which does the of- of baptism in tho early church; and every mooting is scarcely less than a communion with Christ and one another. Tho Salvation Army hand-book, doctrines and line, in answer to the the army consider baptism a that must not The army only con- one baptism essential for and that is the baptism of tho Holy It reckons with the Jewish rites of shaving the head, and other ceremonies never intended to be permanent. All it wants is to save men, and it holds that baptizing them is not saving them. Just so the Lord's supper is recommended to those who feel that it would help their faith, but it is not to membership in the army or to salvation. So the Salvation Army knows no formal church. Its members may or may not be members of the churches; but its theory is that the army takes the place of the church. Where the rest of us say church it says army. It asks no converts to join the church, only to join the army. Join- the army does not save anyone; he must be saved first, and then he is asked to join the army and en- gage in the of saving other people. Salvation is its only pose, and an army its form of organ- because that is the most to save Weekly. His Mr. Young be cook my- self, my dear, but I'll not set foot in an intelligence office again.

Large Scenes the Artist's Sheets Adorned by Him Through the Laundry Without Losing Any of Their Original Brilliancy. A Chinese artist came here on the last oriental steamer, and has been selling some queer things in red, green and yellow to his admiring countrymen. He paints on silk and linen as a rule, but will turn off genre pieces on white paper. His taste, however, runs to large on grass cloth, painted in a panoramic way which permits him to paint a scene along several linear feet of space, says the Hawaiian Star. Accustomed as he has been at home to paint by the acre and with both hands, he is not dismayed by a huge canvas, but with calmness and industry will proceed to a whole set of bed sheets with blue elms and green roses and Chinese gods and women and lovers. One picture that he showed a re- porter was said to represent a gar- den party, though it needed some assurance at first to dispel the idea that it was a catastrophe at sea. What looked like the raging main, however, was really a Chinese turf, and the bent and bedraggled object in the foreground was not a wreck, but a tree. An awful print of a lost celestial maid in the grasp of a devil-fish proved to be one of an damsel twined in the leaves and tendrils of a flowering shrub. Instead of slippery squids, as one might have supposed, were tambourines, and a rock in the boil- surge was only a pagoda set in heather and bushes. A series of small paintings told a story very dear to the Chi- heart. The hero of the tale was the strongest man in the empire, having become an under the teaching of his wife, who was a female Sampson. To- they challenged the world without soft gloves, and In course of time, however, war came and the wife was overpowered and taken away, leaving the band very miserable. As the artist paints him, standing mournfully at the door of his lavender house, great vermilion tears roll down his mauve complexion, stain his green vest and trickle along his chromatic trousers and sink into the scarlet and yellow earth. Then twenty years go by and an- other war ensues. Two armies meet and the strongest champions go forth for a preliminary combat. Be- hold I The man and wife are sent against each other and the artist rises to the occasion. He shows the husband holding his Dulcinea out at arm's length by her belt, and, as he bears her away to a saffron river which runs between sky-blue banks, he has a fierce be whiskered joy on his that invites not a pearl- tinted breeze but a crimson cane to blow through it. Mean- while the captured giantess, demure sweet, has surrendered without a murmur. The visiting knight of the -brush uses pigments that will wash, and he says that one of his pictures can go through a Chinese laundry with- out the loss of the natural blue tint on a maiden's cheek or of the deli- bronze flush of an i flow- or leaf. SAVED FROM A TIGER. How Russian Soldiers H the Man. eaters of Siberia. It is quite a remarkable fact that the tiger, which we ordinarily ex- to find only in African wilds or Indian jungles, also roams through Siberia's northern latitudes. The terror caused by these marauding monsters was so great and they car- off so large a number of work- men that work had to be stopped some months ago until a plan for protection should be devised. Fin- ally the governor of eastern Siberia decided to send for a corps of marks- men to systematically hunt down these terrible tigers and rid the vi- of them forever. On July last the soldiers struck tho trail of a beast whose move- they had been watching for several days. The pursuit led them into a wooded district some distance from the railroad camp, and toward nightfall, finding themselves be- lated, they resolved to halt and bivouac. First of all they built a cheery fire were standing in a circle around the ruddy blaze when an ominous crackling noise in the brushwood caused each man to grasp his rifle. In another instant, almost before they had time to think, the underbrush parted and like a flash there sprang out of tho gloom the brilliant-striped terrible form of a gigantic Falling like an avalanche upon tho ferocious animal bore him to tho ground, fastened its teeth in his left shoulder and would soon have crushed out his life but for the courageous action of his comrades. threw himself flat upon the ground, and taking exact aim sent a bullet through the tiger's eye. Had his hand once faltered he must have killed poor who lay prone and helpless in the animal's grasp. Hardly had bullet gone home when Private Schmidt, rush- forward, buried his long hunt- in the beast's neck directly below the skull. was saved and tho dead tiger carried in to camp. By this time its magnificent skin has become the property of tho governor of eastern Siberia, who will keep it as a trophy.

This third rail is not continuous, but laid in sections, none of which is or dangerous, except the one over which the car is passing. As the sections are only eight feet In length, and the smallest car about twenty feet, it will be seep that all danger from contact with a live section is entirely avoided. The third rail being connected with automatic switches, one section of rail becomes as soon as a car passes to the next section. Be- neath tho car arranged two brushes, fore and aft, which are just far enough apart to insure the car reaching one section of the third rail after leaving one. It will be seen, therefore, that the ear must be pres- to make any section of the rail and then the rail is covered by the car. The wires are entirely buried, and therefore cannot come In contact with anything which could be harmed. The operating switches can be placed either inside the rails or in an alley running par- with the street, thus doing away with the necessity of digging up the street if anything should get out of order under th heavens makes that baby howl Mrs. is its alt; that's it, is it Well, why can't tell its without informing the whole Life.
