After It.iuHon Killed Frank Macklin amt Virgin Brook. He I" Overtaken by a I'oh.o »n<! Itiddled With Bullet*. Natchez, Miss., Juno 15.—As the result of the infatuation of R. W. Dawson, a white man, for Virgie Brooks, a coal black negro wench, Frank Macklin, manager of Natchez Island plantation, lies dead in this city with two Winchester balls through his body. 'Die Brooks woman is dead on the island. Roliert Carter, a negro boy, is at the hospital njortully wounded, and the body of Dawson, unshrppded, uncoflined and : riddled with bullets, occupies an unmarked grave near the water's edge on the Louisiana side'of, the river, where he fell while making a desperate resistance to arrest. Dawwou was a shantyboat fisherman, well and unfavorably known in this vicinity on account of his connection With the. woman and his general hard character. The woman bad been living with him, but left him a short time ago and took up quarters on the island plantation owned by Jim Conti and managed by his son-in-law, Frank Macklin. Dawson followed the woman and made himself so obnoxious that Thursday he was ordered off the plantation and for- I bidden to return. shooting of Macklin. He came to Natchez, secured a Winchester rifle and early yesterday morning reappeared at the home of his negro paramour on the island. Macklin learned of his presence, went to the I woman's house.and again ordered Daw- I son from the premises. Dawson started away as though to obey, but on reaching the gate turned suddenly and fired, at Macklin witli the Winchester, the ball passing through the latter’s thigh. Macklin, who was unarmed, turned to run behind the house, but Dawson fired j again just as his back was turned, the ball entering Macklin's left shoulder . and passing through the heart. Dn\v-ou Run Down. Dawson then re-entered the house and shot the woman through the breast, killing her instantly. The same bullet passed through the body of the boy Robert Carter, probably fatally injuring him. Dawson then made toward Louisiana, telling someone whom he ran across that he would return and finish th<? job by killing Mr. Conti and his wife. A posse from Vidalia, headed by Magistrate Brady, soon overtook the murderer and tilled him with bullets! Magistrate Brady impanelled a jury, held an inquest tin the spot, the verdict exonerating those engaged in the killing of Dawson, and the body was then buried where it fell and as it lay. A tugboat was sent from Natchez to the island and returned shortly after with the body of Macklin and the' wounded boy. Macklin was a young man well connected and highly esteemed in this Community. He came to this place from Baton Rouge. La. - MANITOBA SCHOOL MUDDLE. Archbishop Langevin Gives Out an Opinion on the Memorial. Winnipeg, Man., June 15.—There was no reference to the school question in the legislature yesterday. Premier Greenway returned from Ottawa last evening and a debate is anticipated on Monday. Archbishop Langevin was asked for his opinion on. Manitoba’s reply to the remedial order. The following is his answer: ‘‘l am sorry for the local government’s bad will. It is rather strange that after five years of public discussion their memorial should blandly charge the Ottawa government with ignorance and claim for themselves the monopoly of knowledge. I trust that the government and parliament of Canada will sustain the judgment of the privy council of England and stand by the constitution of the country.’.’ Seeking Aid Eor Drought Sufferer*. Denver, June 15. —Rev. George Secord, a clergyman of Grant county, O, T., is in Denver seeking aid for the drougth sufferers.

M(*«*ling \Vib Mhilf I p of All ('iMKMe* and Wa* an OecHHion Out of the Ordinary. fiepealM His Argument That I’ndervalued Metal Would He Driven Out by a Bimetallic System. Louisville, June 15.—The large personal following of Secretary Carlisle in this city and the keen interest felt, by all classes .in the currency question filled Music hall last evening with such a crowd as Louisyilb' never before saw congregated on a similar occasion. Loiiu before the hour at which* the address was advertised to begin the hall was filled to overflowing, the well-to-do and ‘ influential business men jostling with the laborer and mechanic for a convenient seat. Nor was the meeting a gathering of Democrats to honor a party leader. Republicans were, out m force and on every countenance could be seen the desire to learn. For some time it has been recognized that’this occasion would be something out of the ordinary and nearly all the Democratic candidates were present, (riven an Ovation. Promptly at 8 o'clock Mr. Carlisle came forward and was presented by ,Charles R. Long. Hi* reception should have satisfied the most expectant. When the tremendous applause subsided. in his clear, incisive voice, Mr. CarlLsle waded immediately into his subject. Mr. Carlisle repeated his argument that undervalued meta] would.bedriven out of the country by the adoption of a bimetallic system, and at Some length paid attention to the claims that the fall in the price of silver was due to its demonetization. He said: It is insisted, it is clainu'u that the fall in the price of -jlvi-r is attributable to the legislation in Germany, the United States. France and various other countries dnrins and since the year 1573. and most illoszii al ly it is also insisted that notwithstandinji the reduced price of that metal i,s the result of an unfriendly action- of a e r ,. ;l t many miVvrnna nts iieting in concert'and wit h a -ett led purpose, the Uniti d States alone can restore the value of silver, ill course if it required the action of .12’or 13 ditieii-iJ governments to bring the price of silver to its pp.-M.llt state, it woul.d seem, quite clear that no one of them alone could restore it; as. if the depreciation in the value of silver as compared to gold has been caused solely by the adverse legislation complained oL it follows that if that legislation had never taken place the value of silver as compared to gold would mm lie the same as it was in IS7U liefore that legislation occurred. What their would have been tinyresult? Not a single dollar of legal tender silver would have been in circulation in the United Stales at this time or any other since 1*72, because at that time the bitllion contained in the silver dollar was worth about 3 per eent more than the bullion contained in the gold dollar, and the two could not circulate toget her. In closing Mr.4,'arlisle said that the history of the trade dollar clearly illustrated tirat the fiat of the government does not make money. That was coined fr<-e of charge and delivered without expense to the owners of bullion, and contained 36 more grains than was contained in two half dollars or four quarters. It was legfil tender for all debts up to sfi. just as half dollars and quarters were. The trade dollar, more valuble intrinsically, but without the credit behiird it, sank to' 80 cents, while the less valuable of coins were maintained at full'par. What happened to the trade dollar would be exactly what would happen to all our silver dollars if free ami unlimited coinage were adopted. READY TO SURRENDER. Absconding: Treasurer Taylor Will Return Next. Tuesday—The Agreement. Sioux Falls, S. D., June 15.—An agreement has been reached between the friends of absconding Treasurer Taylor and Attorney General ('rawford whereby Taylor will return at once.

Taylor will then plead guilty, and Judge Gassy has agreed to call a special term of courj and sentence him to the penitentiary for two years.

Rosss, formerly a seaman in-the United States navy was the •principal witness at yesterday’s Golima investigation. He thought Captain Taylor and the other officers incompetent, adding that no effort had been made to savp the passengers, or even warning them of danger, and no effort had been made to set sail aft to steady the vessel.
