THREE SHOT DOWN. Fatal Result of g Political Quarrel ‘ ' in Mississippi Rev. Mr. Ratliffe Kills Representative Jackson and a Bystander at Kosciusko —Another Spectator Is Mor- ‘ tally Wounded. " A BOUTHERN TRAGEDY. Mewmpals, Tenn., March 6.—The most s¢nsational tragedy in the history of Mississippi occurred at Kosciusko, the county seat of Attala county, Saturday. S. A. Jackson, a member of the state legislature and one .of the .most prominent democratic politicians in the state, was . shot and instantly killed and Samuel Russell and William Sanders, two innocent bystanders, fatally wounded by Rev.: W. P. Ratliffe, also a member of the. legislature and one of the leaders of the populist party in Missouri. : e

The tragedy was the culmination of | a political feud of long standing which | was brought to a climax by a bitter ‘ newspaver controversy. Ratlitfe’ pub- ’ lished an editorial in his paper, the Vindicator, reflecting on Jackson’s | vote in the recent contest in the legis- | lature over the election of a sueccessor ! to. United States Senator Walthall. | Jackson replied in a card in another§ paper, in which he denonnced Ratliffe | as a liar. S l The two men met at the courthouse ; in Kosciusko Saturday for the firstd time since the publication of Jackson’s ! article. There was a large crowd on? hand attending a bankrupt sale by the ' sheriff. No one noticed the meeting of 4 the two men until they began scuf- | fling in the lcourthouse door. Both’.' -Ratliffe. and Jackson pulled their re- ! volvers and began a terrible duel to : the death. ' When the- smoke of battle cleta.red i away Jackson was found with a bullet i hole in his forehead, while his right! arm near the shoulder was shattered by a glancing shot aimed at his head. A | few feet away lay Samuel Russell and | William Sanders, two bystanders, with ‘ mortal wounds. - Russell was shot l through the head and expired in a I few minutes. Sanders was shot in the | thigh and is expected to die.. Ratcliffe : discharged every chamber of his re-| volver, and, finding that he had no } more ammunition, he coolly stood and | watched the writhing of his vietims! until the sheriff arrested him and took | him to jail. ; : ' l Ratcliffe was seen in theé jail and asked for a statement, but he refused to talk further than to say he shot Jackson in self-defense. Jackson was ' a prominent merchant of Kosciusko ‘and was reputed to be a wealthy man. | He leaves a wife and several children. |

Russell and Sanders, the bystanders who were shot, were farmers. The jail is strongly guarded to prevent Ratliffe being lynched by Jackson’s friends. | ‘ . - Mr. Ratliffe was leader of the popu--list party in this section, and represented this county in the legislature, He is a ‘“‘hardshell” Baptist preacher. GOT HIS RELEASE. @ Ed Willlamson, the Famous Shortstop. " Dies at Hot Springs. : CricAaeo, March 6..—A telegram from Hot Springs; Ark.,, or Sunday announced the death pf Ed N. Williamson, the famous ex-shortstop of the Chicago baseball club. His death was caused by dropsy. Williamson grew very portly after he stopped playing ball in the fall of 1890. His health, however, was not considered in jeopardy until last December. j j * [Williamson was probably the greatest allaround ball player who ever donned a uniform. In addition to his skill at shortfield Williamson was a good catcher and a first-clagss pitcher. He played little in the outfleld because his skill was in greater demand clsewhere, but he doubtless would have become ‘an unsurpassed outfielder. He was one of the best batters in the profession and was a brilliant base runner, being a clever slider. He wés also .the undisputed champion long-dis-tance thrower of the profession, and easily won the prize offered for that. feat in Cincinnati in the fall of 1889 - — g He was 37 years of age.. He played his first engagement as a professional ball player with the Newcastle (Pa.) team in 1876. Before the close of that season he accepted anengagement with the Allegheniqs, of Pennsylvania, a professional team, which, while a mem. ber of no organization, was one of the strongest clubs: in the . country. He remained there over a year and then accepted a place in the team that was being formed to represent Indianapolis in the league in 1878. At the end of the season he left-the Indianapolis and joined the Chicago club, with wnich organization he remained until 1890, at which time, owing to an injury received in Paris while on the famous tour of the world trip, he was compelled to retire. Since then he has been engaged 1n the saloon business in this city.] :

HAVE A RIGHT TO QUIT.

Admission That Judge Jenkins' Order Was Too Sweeping.;

v leLW'AéxﬁE, March 6.—The attorneys for the Northern Pacific receivers admitted Saturday that the. injunctional orders of Judge Jenkins might be too sweeping and said they would not object to their modification. This is an important concession to the railroad labor chiefs who are making the ficht and who want to know if strikes are to come under the ban of the federal courts. , .

The arguments on the motion to modify the anti-strike orders by eliminating the portions objectionable to the railroad chiefs was concluded late Saturday afternoon.. Judge Jenkins took the matter under advisement and his "decision-| will probably not be announced for a week or two.

. PAYS IN FULL. The Lehigh Company Has Liquidated Ite Debt of 81,250,000 . : Cuicaco, March 6.—The Lehigh Coal & Iron company, which went into 8 receiver’s hands in April, 1898, has been declared restored to solvency. In his chambers at Milwaukee Saturday Judge Jenkins of the United States circuit court entered an order discharging the receiver and directing that the estate be returned to the corporation. Duplicate copies of the order will be filed to-day in the United States -circuit courts in this city, Madison, Wis., and St. Paul, Minn. .Immediatel{y thereafter checks to the creditors for the full amount of their claims will be sent from President Doty’s office, and this action will relegate to history a failure which, both in its extent and the celerity with which the intricate complications growing out of it were settled, will, it is said, stand out prominently for a long time to come. "~ The company failed for $1,250,000.. Under the direction of Judge Jenkins it has transacted a business of §6,000,000 during the last year, and, as said, is able ‘to pay all its creditors in full : . [The collapse of the Lehigh Coal & Iron company last April, on account of the gloomy business outlook at the time, and the well-known public men interested in its affairs, was one of the sensations of the year. In a measure it may. be said to: have ingligurated the panic, for when the Lehigh tumbled consternation was widespread in the business world. ~ The largest coal company in the United States, it had long been regarded as the richest and most powerful in the fleld. It had almost unlimited dockage facilities for handling the products of its mines and its great freight steamers rode on almost every wave between Buffalo and Chicago. The company did a business of 2,000,000 tons of coal a yearand its coke ovens discharged 1,000 tons of coke in addition. Its coal fields extended from West Virginia through Pennsylvania and Ohio and up to the West Superior . region. Naturally the collapse of such a gigantic concern shook business houses in half a dozen states. - ; i

The failure of the Lehigh Coal & Iron company was precipitated by the collapse of A. G. Yates, of Rochester, president .of the Rochester, Buffalo & Pittsburgh railroad. Mr. Yates was also president of the Lehigh company, and while an attempt was made at the time to deny that his individual failure would affect the company, the crash could not long he postponed. Directly after the tumble of Mr. Yates, H. H. Warner, the patent -medicine man, sank and his failure was speedily followed by that of the Ohio Coal Exchange company, the Creseent . Coal Mining company, .the Ontario Coal Mining company, the Manitoba .Coal & Railway company, and the lehigh & Franklin Coal = company.. All these were feeders of the Lehigh Coal & Iron company, and the big company fell with them. For a time its furnace fires were banked and all its mines were idle. o |

Fifty-six banks were caught when the company tumbled. Among the most conspicuous creditors were the late Jaraes G. Blaine, Senator Gorman of Maryland, Senator Brice of Ohio, ex-Senator Sands of West Virginia and a number of other public men. ; When the company went down President Yates resigned and Capt. L. .R. Doty was chosen to succeed him, and a few days later Judge Jenkins appointed the new presidentreceiver of the company. * Soon after Receiver Doty took charge he and Judge Jenkins outlined the policy for the company and managed its affairs with the greatest care. They reduced expenses wherever it could be done, but it is doubtful whether either of them expected to discharge tha enormous debt in eleven months. The year's profits, however, were far in excess of their calculations, and after it became apparent that all creditors could be satisfied it was determined to ask for the receivers’ discharge. o Itis said that this affair is without paraliel in two respec¢ts—first, in that the judge permitted the receiver to be discharged before detts had actually been paid, and, second, in that such a gigantic concern earned enough in less than a year, under the management of a United States circuit judge, to actually pay all its debts.]

A GREAT CRUSADE.

Tenjperaﬁhce Advocates If,reparitig for an * Tmportant Movs. ' NEwW YoRE, March 6.—The World’s Women’s Christian Temperance union has been preparing a petition against the traffic in alcohol, opium and against’ legalized vice, to be presented to all the governments of .the world.

The petition itself has now reached an unprecedented length of over 2,000,000 signatures, and with the attestation of certain great societies there will not be less than 3,000,000. According to the forthcoming number of the Review of the Churches, Dr. Lunn, the editor, has been requested by these women ‘to. organize u demonstration around the world. With this purpose in view, a first-class - steamship is to be immediately chartered, and a party of 100 will be organized to accompany Lady Somerset and Miss Willard in this remarkable crusade.. : * The crusade will commence at the annual convention of the Women’s Ckristian Temperance union, to be held in the U[nited States next Oectober: The delegation will then proceed to Washington, where the polyglot petition will be presented to the government.

The reduction in this district during the last year has unsettled the wages of the men in Ohio, West Virginia, Indiana au¢ Illinois, and the miners here believe & general strike is the only way a better mining rate can Ye obtained. e s
