TUe TrsKdji occurred at I lie Bat tery park Balurdav Mlicbt.and la Believed to Have Been Purely Accidental. A little before .11 o'clock Saturday night a pistol in the hand of Lloyd W. Smith, night clerk of the Battery Park hotel, was discharged, killing him in stantly. Mr. Smith had been suffering intensely for a day or two with boils on the back of his neck. About 10 o'clock hs called Dr. S. Westray Battle to the hotel office, and at his request the physician lanced one of the boils. The operation gave him great pain for a while, and he ex claimed, Doctor, yon don't know how that hurt." Mr. Smith weut about hit work, ap parently in a good humor, whistling and singing "Ta-ra-ra Boora-deay." Pres ently he went to the office desk and took therefrom a pistol and put it to his tem ple. "Don't shoot!" cried Sam Thompson, a colored porter, who was the only other occupant ot toe orb.ee at the time. As the porter uttered the cry the pistol was discharged and the ball,, a 32, en tered Smith's-head, above the right ear ranging downward. Smith fell to the floor and died almost instantly. Thompson called Dr. Battle and Manager E. P. McKissick, of the Bat tery Park, who examined the body. Coroner L. B. McBrayer was notified. and summoning a jury composed ot C F. Ray, J. L. Owens, E. P. Gilkey and F. A. Sumner, went to the hotel about mid night and held an inquest. Dr. Battle, Mr. McKissick and Thompson were ex- I amined, and the facts as recited were brought out. The mry rendered a ver dict that "deceased came to his death from a pistol shot wound ut his own hand." The remains were prepared for burial. and were taken yesterilny morning to Charlotte, accompanied bv rrank smith a cousin. The body was interred in the cemetery there, where the dead youth's mother is buried. Llovd W. Smith was a son of S.

Young bimth was h nrigu vmitli o sunny disposition, and had inanv friends here. The theory l spicule h:ta m-ei adopted by some, but there is little nothing to suppoil it. He was not des pondent, seemed to have had no trouble at all on lm mind, and a search of his effects disclosed no note or intimation whatever of taking such a step. The pistol which figured in the tragedy I was a Smith & Wesson, and had been left in the office bv a guest. xoung smith was a nephew ot Dr. 1, C. Smith, and a second cousin of White G.

BENT OX A LYNCHING NEISROES THY TO HMi INNOCENT MAN. Hill Made sm Speech lu Favor ol ConalderlisK the Repeal Kill FillbuaterlniE In the House to Defeat time A iiU Option Bill. Washington, Feb. G. In the House filibustering against the anti-option bill began before the reading of the journal, Kilgore raising the point that there was no quorum present. After a swift glance around the chamber the Speaker recog nized the correctness of the point, and directed the clerk to call the role. But it being understood that this important measure might be called up today, mem bers began to arrive, and at the conclu sion of the roll call, 219 members had responded to the quorum. Before the clerk'could begin the reading of the journal Kilgore was on bis icet with a motion that when the House adjourns today it be to Wednesday next, which motion he desired to supplement with a motion for a recess until 5 o'clock. The first motion wasrecognized hut before considering the second, the Speaker recognized McMillen to move to suspend the rules and approve the journal. Kilgore a filibustering against ap proval of the journal came to naught, except injtbat it consumedtime. He was unable to break the quorum and in his efforts to do so received nothing but very small passive support. He is now (2 p.m.) engaged in killing time by re quiring the reading of the journal in full. Z:U7 p. xtu Bltbustering continues. In the Senate the judiciary committee took up tbe nomination of Judge Jack son, but its consideration was post poned until next Monday on account of objections made by Democratic mem bers. It is understood that at the next meeting of -the committee an effort will be made to cause the nomination to be f.ivorably reported to the Senate. After the assembling ol the Senate Associate lust ice Brown of the Supreme court ap peared on the tloor and held a brut con ference wU li Mr. Hoar, chairman of the Judiciarv Committee. Uctore tne r-utn e moving business was concluded Mr. Hill presented a peti tion wl tliv business men ol Rochester, N. Y , irrcspec. ivo of parly in favor of the i-cc..i ol tlic aiicrina.i silver act, nnd said that in coiiiHCli .u with the presen tation of the ietilion he desired to sub mit to Hit- consideration of the Senate mi no remarks on nhat was known as the silver question. The vice president asked lie-, her th -re was anv objection Slu-rimm: ' I suggest to the senator from New York to allow the ordinary formal business to be concluded first. That wool l probablv be better and would be more ii. accordance with the usage ot the Senate." Hill, (resuming his scat ): " There isno objection to. thai." Routine business was resumed and concluded, and without making any motion to take up the bill Mr. Hill began bis speech. After the speech and a good deal of parliamentary wrangling the Senate was finally brought to a direct vote upon the notion of Hill to take up the bill for repeal of tbe Sherman act. The motion was rejected yeas 23; nays 42. They Also Trv to Burn a Depot, Hut are Prevented bv ibe Timely Arrival of a Sheriff's posse II all Crew Oat of an insult. Stafkokds Point, Tex., Feb. 6.
