BATTLE Tfi
THE 2EATH
Negro Murderer Dies' Rather
Than Surrender.
He shot at Kver thing in Sight,
Killing One Man and Des
peratly Wounding Two
Others.
Macon, Ga , Jan. 22. Two
negroes shot to death and two
white men desperately wounded
were the casualties in an attemot
A.
to arrest a negro murderer here
today.
J. H. Butler, colored, is the
man who did the most of the
shooting and who was himself
shot to death. His victims were
Armstead Bryant, colored, shot
through the heart and instantly
killed; B. Zeltman, white, shot
through the stomach and will
probably die and John Reed,
white, shot in the neck in a
precarious condition.
Butler threatened to kill a
negro woman, and ..hen Police
man I'earce attempted to arrest
him, began to shoot. The negro
ran up Fourth street, one of the
busiest streets in Macon, pistol
in hand, shooting at everything
in sight. His victim vvas Zelt
man, then Bryant, and last Reed
fell beneath his deadly aim.
In the meantime the sound of
the shooting attracted a number
of policemen and citizens. When
Butler fell mortally wounded,
five pol icemen and fifteen
citizens were shooting at him.
When examined it was found
that five pist&l balls had gone
completely through his body
aud there were other wounds.
An ambulance was summoned
and the wounded men were tak
en to the city hospital, while
the bodies of the dead men were
taken to an undertaking estab-!
lishmeut, where the coroner held
an inquest
Butler came to Georgia from
North Carolina eight years ago,
vnd was employed on a South
Georgia turpentine farm. It is
Siid that about a year ago he
killed two negroes at Pinehurst
Ga.
The Paper Trust.
The robber Paper trust, which
controls nearly all the output i
the paper mills of this country,
has steadily advanced the price
of paper for the past three
months until we are now paying
about 40 per cent more for the
newspaper upon which the
Baptist is printed, than we did
September ist. This trust has
a a chief cause, a tariff law
which lays a heavy import upv
on all paper material imported
from Canada into this country.
And we are the sufferers. This
unjust tariff aud its robber off
spring, the Paper Trust, is tak
ing from the pockets of publish
ers all over America a tax which
has reached the point of a heavy
burden. This tariff law is a tax
11- T 1
on intelligence. rapers ana
books cost more than ever be
ore. On every newspaper,
lUble, Hymn Book, tract and
almanac there is an extra cost.
The note paper and envelopes of
courtship, the invitation for the
wedding and the blackbordered
announcement of death all pav
tribute to this robber tariff,
which instead of enriching the
government only makes it poss
ible for the paper magnates of
America to charge more for their
paper, tiow long will we suffer?
There are those who count a
word against the trusts as a stone
cast against the innocent. "Let
these defenders of iniquity feel
the heavy hand of corporate
greed and their tune will change.

Divorced Ccuple Make Up.
Baltimore, Jaimqry 20. Af
ter five years of contest in the
divorce courts Thomas C. Chap
pell, a well-known lawyer, and
his wife have become recon
ciled j?.tvl Mie husband's suit tor
divorce was dismissed in the
Baltimore County Court to day.
Mrs. Chappell is now in Bos
ton, where she has been for the
past few years, but will k'o to
New York within .ae next few
days to rejoin her husband, who
has taken up his residence in
that city. Tne case has been an
extraordinary one. The bill for
divorce was filed in March, 1895
by Mr. Chappell, asking for an
absolute separation and divorce.
The bill contained about thirty
absolute and distinct sections.
One of the main allegations be
ing that his wife was laboring
under mental difficulties, and
that this existed at the time of
their marriage. The case has
never beed tried upon its merits
but has been to the Maryland
Court of Appeals at Annapolis
four times upon questions of ali
mony, counsel fees, and many
complex questions of law.
Accompanying the papers pas
pers filed to-day was a written
assent 011 the part of Mrs. Chap
pell to the dismissal of the case.

Murder out Years Too Late.
Sioux Falls, S. D., January
20. Information has reached
here that Mrs. Van Horn, who
recently died in the State of
Washington, confessed on her
death bed that she murdered her
mother, Mrs. Thos. Egan, near
this city, September 12th, 1880.
For this crime Thomas Egan,
the woman's husband, was hang
ed, protesting his innocence.
Mrs Van Horn was his step
daughter. Mrs. Egau was chok
ed to death with a rope, and her
head was bruised with a wooden
picket. The clothes Egan wore
were found in the barn covered
with blood, aud this caused his
conviction. The execution was
bungled, aud he was dropped
three times before death ensued
The first time the rope broke,
and the second time it slipped.
The physician at the hospital
where Mrs. Van Horn died took
down her confession and sent it
to Egan's relatives here.

The Man to Help.
So many of us forget that it
is the weak fellow who is in the
ditch, rather than the strong
man who is on the thione Oj
partial or pronounced prosper
ity, who most needs the helping
hand of the influential aud pow
erful. So many of us are ready
to help the follow whose path
way is easy, while we will pass
fy the unfortunate who really
needs a helping hand. So many
of us are prone to sneer at, if not
crush, the man who has been in
error and who is trying to do
better to make a new man of
himself while we will throw
more sunshine and more mater
ial help into the lap of the stal
wart citizen. Augusta Herald.
Transferring Electricity.
The Norfolk Railway and
Light Company is having made
a special wire and cable to con
duct voltage from its enlarged
plant, on Cove street, now beiug
erected, :o Berkley lor electtic
lighting purposes. The cable
will be laid under the eaastern
branch of Elizabeth river, and
the large wire conductor will be
protected from contact with the
water by a suitable encasement.
It will carry at least 2,000 volts
of electricity. The transferring
of electric power by cables un
der water for lighting purposes,
etc., is not a new thing, but at
the same time is by no means
common. The old receiving
ship Franklin, lying in the Eliz
abeth river off the navy-yard,
is lighted by electricity trans
ferred from the yard by a cable,
with the capacity of 100 volts.
The new bridge to connect
Berkley and Norfolk will be the
means by which to run the
Berkley street car system will be
transferred over trolley wires.

At The Old Year's Grave.
By the grave of the old year
stood a little child, with an arm
ful of flowers. The light of the
Morning was on his brow, the
faith of" the Future in his radi
ant eyes. One by one the flow
ers fell upon thp grave, till it
was hidden beneath a crimson
canopy. Some were flowers of
joy, and some were flowers of
tears; some were the roses of
sweet song, and tome were mem
ories of sighs. But over all
there fell the lilies of Love, and
that fair flower' whose sweeter
name is Hope. And gloriously
streamed the light from the far,
eastern hills. Glad voices float
ed heavenward. There was a
sound of silver trumpets a mel
ody of bells. And the child
still faced the Future, and if a
teardrop trembled in his eyes it
was kissed away of Light. And
he passed, singing, into the
r earts and homes of men, her
alded by Hope, and welcomed
by the music of the rejoicing
bells. Frank Stanton, in At
lanta Constitution.
An item is going the rounds
about a girl dying from tight
lacing. An editor commenting
of the fact sas: "The corset
should be done away with and
if the girl can't live without
being squeezed we suppose men
can be found vdbo will sacrifice
themselves. As old as we are we
would rather devote three hours
a day without a farthing than to
see girls dying off iu this man
ner. Office hours most any old
time."
Consumption
is robbed of its terrors by
the fact that the best med

one of the happy things
about it is, that its victims
rarely ever lose hope.

secret nostrums advertised to cure
consumption. Some make absurd
claims. We only say that if taken

properly observed,
