The most hor rible nnd cold-blooded murder ever known in the history of Henderson county occurred at the postotliee here this afternoon at 0:50 o'clock. The shooting was done by John P. Jones, a prominent and well known young man of this place, the victim being L. U. Brookshire, also a well known and prominent citizen. Mr. Brookshire went into the post office and transacted some business with the postmaster and was walking iiiclly out when young loncs stepped up to him and commenced shooting at him. Brookshire went down at the second shot with a bullet through his heart and one in the left temple, expiring in stantly, and never speaking alter the first shot was fired. Brookshire did not have time to draw his pistol or even ut ter a word of remonstrance. The trouble is supposed to have origi nated from Brookshire's being too inti mate with Mrs. Jones. Several months ago Brookshire was tried at the last term of the superior poin t, charccd with assaulting I ones' wile, but was acquitted.

A most decided sen sation was caused on the bourse here to day by the report that Herr Jacdor, chief cashier for the great banking house ofthcRothschilds.at Frankfort, was a de faulter. According to this report Jacdor had succeeded in defrauding his employ ers of over 1,000,000 marks ($230,000.) Jacdor has held the position oi chiel cashier for 17 years. He was implicitly trusted and there has never been a breath of suspicion concerning him. Some time ago he was missing from his post and as time elapsed nnd he did not appear a partial examination of his books was made. This resulted in the declaration that he is nn absconder.

On the other hand it is claimed that he has the greater part of the stolen moncv in his possession and that under nn assumed name he is en deavoring to reach a foreign country, most likely the United States.
