KinU Carlos, ot Portugal, and tti- -I own Prince, Luiz Philippe, w -e assassinated today and the C'i.v is in a state of uproar. The Ki ti's second sim, the Infanta Ma u-i, ss r-lghtly wounded, Out Queen Amelie, who strove to av.-the Grown Prince's life by t u-wing hersell upon him, was u M hurt. A oaud of men, waiting'at the c ner of the Praco de Commer- ci ind the Kua de Arsenal, sud d -ni.v sprang toward the open ca rkm , m which the .family wvre driving to the palace and leveling carbines which they had concealed upon them, fired. The King and the Crown Prince, up on whom the attack was direct ed, where each shot three .times auu they lived only long enough to be carried to the marine arsen al, nearby, where they expired. KING FALLS AT FIRST SHOT- Almost at the first shot the King fell back on the cushions dying and at the the same mo ment the Crown Prince was seen to half arise and then sink back on the seat. Queen Amelie jump ed upaDd threw herself towaro the Crown Prince in an apparent effort io save his life at the cost of her own, but the Prince had received his death wound. The police guard tired upon the assas sins and killed threes! them. A CRUEL PLOT. The royal family were return ing from Villa Vicosa, where they had been sojourning and were on tneir way from the railroad sta tion to the palace. A strong guard was in attendance because of the recent uprising in the city and the discovery of a plot, to assas sinate Premier Franco and over throw the monarchy. But the band of murderers had selected the most advantageous spot for the commission of their crime, for they were concealed from the eyes of the police until the car riage had wheeled into the Praco de Commercio, a large square- oeiore any of the guard were aware ol what was Happening the assassins leaped toward the carriage and instantly a fusillade of shots rang out. In a moment : ail was terrible confusion, the King and Crown Prince being snot down without the slightest chance to save themselves. Police guards sprang upon the retricides, the number of whom is some wnat uncertain, and kukq ttiree of them and captured three others. One of these committed suicide after being placed in pris on. It is charged that one of the murderers was a Spaniard named Cordova. The bodies of the King and the Crown Prince were removed from the marine arsenal in two closed carriages to the royal pal ace, the Paco Das Necessimades, the late residence of the King, escorted by municipal guards mounted. The news of the as sassination swept through the citv like tire through dry grass To-night the populace is panie stricken, not knowing where the next blow may fall. There is the greatest dread for the future of the country, which seems on the verge of being plunged into the awful throes of a revolution with all the attendant .horrors and bloodshed. Throughout the city consternation reigns, and all the houses and business places are barricaded. Lisbon, Feb. 2. All Portugal is overwhelmed today at the Killing of the Kng and Crown Prince.

Now comes the most enjoyable feature of the occasion- It being leap year, the young ladies took advantage of providing them selves with suitable escorts, iuuch to the delight of the young men present. Thus hap pily paired, they were usher ed into the dining room, which was beautifully ana tastefully decorated with ferns and Bowers, to enjoy the sumptuous repast. The menu was served in two courses, which, for delicacy and taste, could not be. surpassed anywhere.

B- Malloy, of Fayetteville, in a short but appropriate speech. Miss Ruby Williams received the booby prize, after a tie wifch four others, which was a large tin horn decorated in the ; nation al colors, corresponding with the decorations in dining room and parlor. Delightful music, both instru mental and vocal, was rendered during the evening. Several beautiful vocal solos were sung by Miss Ethel Cosh well, to the delight of every one present, af ter which Miss Prevatt, at tbe piano, and Dr. J. C. McKenzie, with violin, charmed the listeners by some choice selections. j This proved to be one of the most enjoyable receptions ever! given at Barnesville.
