An Editor Kills a Druggist.
Willows, Cal., Oct. 8.—Editor W. A.
Schorn last evening shot and killed J. E.
Putnam, a member of a local firm of
druggists. It appears that during the
settlement of accounts on the 1st of the
month between Editor Schorn and Put
nam & Walker, there was a difference of
a few dollars in favor of the latter, and
they made a demand on Schorn for the
amount. At the meeting of Schorn and
Putnam last evening the trouble over the
bill was renewed. Angry words were ex
changed, then Schorn drew a pistol and
shot four times at Putnam, three of the
bullets taking effect in his body. One
entered the abdomen, the second the
diaphragm and the third lodged In the
neck.
NO PLACE TO FIGHT.
W. A. Brady and Martin Julian Have Been
Arrested, But Were Released on Bail.
After Dan Stuart.
Dallas, Tex., Oct. 8.—Papers arc out
for the arrest of William Brady, mana
ger of James J. Corbett; Martin Julian,
manager of Bob Fitzsimmons; W. K.
Whelock, secretary of the Florida Ath
letic club, and presumably for Dan A.
Stuart, Joe Vendlg and others. The pa
pers were issued from Austin, and ar
rived in .Dallas this morning. Wheel
ock's papers were served on him today.
None of the others have so far been
served. Where the Corbett-Fttzslmmons
fight will be pulled off is still a matter of
conjecture. President Stewart says it
will not be decided until Joe Vendig and
others arrive. The Hot Springs proposi
tion is under consideration, but the fight
will go to the highest and most respon
sible bidders. It may be several days be
fore it Is finally settled. Later papers
were served on W. A. Brady and Martin
Julian. Brady, Julian and Wheelock
gave, bail to appear before the Travis
county grand Jury. It is understood they
will leave for Austin tomorrow. Papers
are here also for Joe Vendlg. They will
be served by Sheriff Cabell when Vendig
arrives. There are no papers yet for
Stuart. The idea is said to tie that every
body is to be used as witnesses against
Stuart before the Travis county grand
Jury to indict him for conspiracy to com
pound a felony.
Prise Fighters Arrested.

tice Douglass this morning rendered a

Robinson, Charles Roden and Joe Craig
of this city, who were arrested on the
night of July 15 at the conclusion of the
Hudson County Athletic club's show at
Oakland rink and charged with prize
fighting. The court decided that the
bouts constituted prize fighting. The de
fendants were held in $500 bail .each to
await the action of the grand jury.
Still Talking Fight.
Austin, Tex., Oct. 8.—The supreme
court today heard arguments in the case
where the tax collector of Williamson
county seeks to make the comptroller
issue a prize fight license under the law
passed by the regular session of the
twenty-fourth legislature. While the
plaintiff admits that the law just passed
by the extra session declares prize fight
ing a felony, he desires an opinion on the
old law's, validity In case the new law
is knocked out, as is threatened. The
state contends that the new law knocks
the old law out, but even if it did not
under the bill of that legislature he
should have no authority to license a
fight between man and man.

Cheering People.
IT WAS STORED AWAY LAST NIGHT
Today There Will Be n Moat Elaborate Fu
rade and Formal Reception—There
Will Be Speaking and Muaic
by Gilmore's Band.
Dalton, Ga.. Oct. 8.—The welcome ex
tended to liberty Mellon Its entrance Into
Georgia was one of the warmest and at
thesame time most graceful yet received
in the south. As the train stoppetl an
opening was‘forced through the great
throng and thirteen little girls, dressed
to represent the original states, walked
to the platform. Each carried a wreath
of lovely flowers, singing: "My Country,
'Tis of Thee.” Grouped about the bell,
their sweet voices on the crisp morning
air blended charmingly, and the crowd
applauded wildly.
Then Mayor S. P. Maddox of Dalton,
in a graceful but brief address, presented
M. A. Matthews to formally welcome the
bell and escort.
Tall, straight as an arrow, with long,
curly hair and the face of an Indian
chief, the Presbyterian preacher looked
a typical Georgian. His address was a
marvel, flery, eloquent and patriotic, and
his words of welcome made a deep im
pression on the northerners.
When he concluded Mayor Warwick
voiced the pleasure of the bell escort
at the Georgia greeting, and the chil
dren hung their flowers on the old bell
amid hearty cheers, mingled with which
were some- of the ear-splitting rebel yells
as the train pulled out.
At Home.
Rome, Ga., Oct. 8.—U was liberty Bell
Day in this city. The public school chil
dren were given a holiday; the stores
were closed and flags floated from every
possible islacV AboUJ.the railroad sta
tion there was, a tremendous crowd,
which was held in control by the Rome
Right Ouat-ds. A band played, whlstels
shrieked ahd children Bang as the old
relic stowed up at the crossing. Mayor
J D. Moore welcomed the escorting party,
but the formal address was made by
I.awyerJV. J- Neal, and Mayor Warwick
of Philadelphia responded. The first 4o
clambor up into the car bell were the
girls of the Shorter academy, a famous
school in this section, and they speedily
seized upon thg, flowers placed upon tltt,
bell by the. children of Dalton, each fair
student taking one blossom as a souvenir
of the day: Then as many of the pub
lic school children as posible and spine
ladies were allowed the freedom of the
car, and several hundred passed by the
bell until the train was compelled to
start for Atlanta.
Arrives in Atlanta.
Atlanta. Ga.. Oct. 8.—The Exposition
City today gave the liberty bell the most
cordial greeting that that historic Mas
sachusetts of iron has ever received. It
was literally an outpouring of the people
such as has never been witnessed in this
town, and it would be impossible to con
ceive a more notable exhibition of pa
triotism. For fully two miles the bell
passed through a solid wall of cheering1
peopel. Th£y ?tood massed on tops of
freight ears, on .the'bridges that span the
railroad, on roof tops and, in fact, on
every place that afforded a foothold.
The Atlanta light artillery fired the pres
idential salute, and the first shot was
the signal for every steam whistle In the
city to shriek out ' its discordant weh
come. The scene in and around the sta
tlon beggars description. The crowd
seemed wild with enthusiasm, and from
every window of every factory, store and
dwelling t.hare were waving flags and
handkerchiefs. At the city limits Mayor
Porter King and a big committee met the
escort party, but t'here was no format re
ception until ‘the visitors reached the
Kimball house, Where they are comfort
ably quartered. Then Mayor King said
a few words of welcome, whloh were
supplemented by Ex-Mayor Hemphill,
and briefly responded to by Mayor War
wick of Philadelphia. The bell stood for
a time in the mHroad station, but later
It was taken to the shops, where it will
remain under guard until tomorrow
morning. There are plans for a most
elaborate parade and formal reception.
The school children, the local militia
and several patriotic orders will Join In
the demonstration. There will be music
by Gilmore’s band, singing by 3000 chil
dren and speaking by some of Georgia’s
most eloquent men. _

THE CHAMPIONS DEFEATED.
Cleveland Has Won the Temple Cup for This
Year—They Had a Tough Crowd
to Deal With.
Baltimore, Md., Oct. 8.—The Temple
cup goes to Cleveland, and, as last year,
the champions must be content with sec
ond place in the contest for the prize.
Tebeau and his spider aggregation took
today's game with something to spare.
Neither side scored until the seventh inn
ing. Despite the goose and cold weather
there was lots of enthusiasm because of
numerous brilliant plays. From the open
ing of the seventh inning until the teams
had left the grounds there was excite
ment to spare. Up to the end of the
sixth inning there had been but three
hits made off of Hoffer. Young was the
first man up in the seventh. He cracked
out a double; Burkett singled and Mc
Kean sacrificed. Young was, however,
held on third. Kelly’s error in dropping
a ball from Child's bat allowed Young
to score. Singles by McAleer and Te
beau and two dumb exhibitions by Uela
<ion and Carey gave the Clevelands two
more runs. Three singles and an error
netted them two In the succeeding Inn
ing.
Baltimore earned one run In the sev
enth inning. In this inning an Incipient
riot followed Tebeau's attempt to spike
Hoffer as he ran past first.-Returning
to the base Hoffer vigorously pushed
Tebeau, felling him to the ground. Ex
citement ran high as the players rushed
in from the field, while yells and impre
cations filled the air.
The champions added another tally to
their score in the ninth, and at one time
had a chance of winning the game.
With two out, McOraw and Keeler drew
bases on trails, and Jennings was hit by
the pitcher. The crowd meantime was
wildly encouraging the home players and
trying to rattle the others. With the
bases full Kelly was besought In frantic
terms to bring them in. The best he
could do was to single, scoring McOraw.
with a chance to win the game and pos
sibly the Temple cup, the rooters begged
and besought Brodie to punch out a
triple or home run, but he failed misera
bly.
The crowd left the grounds in bad
humor, hundreds of them laying up
about the players’ club house waiting the
Appearance of the Cleveland team. The
police were,, however, prepared for any
outbreak that might occur and quickly
drove'the mob back until a passageway
had been made for the Forest City men.
As they filed Into their stage a platoon
of mounted police surrounded It and
opened an avenue for the bus to drive
through. Several policemen rode in the
vehicle, while others rode on top. The
very formidable array of blue coats de
terred the crowd from making any hos
tile demonstration. The chilly weather
had a bad effect on the attendance, which
was a little less than 5000. Score:

Washington. Oct. 8.—The Interior de
partment and certain prominent citizens
of Florida have for some time engaged
In a controversy as to the proper place
for the filing or certain of the public land
records of that state. The commissioner
of the general land office recommended
to the secretary of the interior that they
be transferred to the office of the survey
or-general of that state, but It appears
that the Spanish archives of west Florida
are In possession of Mr. John De La Rua'
and others at Pensacola, and a demand
for them by the surveyor-geneiHl re
ceived only dilatory replies. Letters of
remonstrance against their removal were
received at the Interior department from
Hon. S. R. Mallory and W. A. Blount of
Pensacola, who state that fully 90 per
cent of the matter embraced In the ar
chives relates to lands and titles In Pen
sacola county and but a small fraction
has reference to lands within a reasona
ble distance of Tallahassee. The depart
ment, after an examination of the law on
the subject, concurs In the commission
er's recommendation that theBe archives
are held without legal authority and
should ho in the hands of the federal au
thorities of the state and directs that
steps looking to that end be taken.

President Cleveland Does Not Want a Military
Escort to Atlanta.
New Haven, Conn., Oct. 8.—President
Cleveland has declined the escort ten
dered him by the Second company, gov
ernor's foot guards, of this city on the
occasion of his visit to the Atlanta ex
position about the middle of this month.
The president in his letter, which bears
the date of October G, says:
"I have already expressed my prefer
ence against an escort to the exposition
by the military of Georgia, and I confess
that 1 am desirous of having my journey
to and from Atlanta as free from dis
play as possible. 1 shall be accompanied
by nearly if not all the members of my
cabinet, and perhaps their families, and
I expect we shall go and return by the
Southern railway, though I have not been
finally notified as to that.
"In considering the situation I think
it would be better to abandon your pro
ject, though 1 assure you I am fully
sensible of the kind consideration which
prompts your offer and desire to return
my thanks for same.”
RECEIVED $50,000.
Interest Paid on the City’s Money Went
Into Private Pockets.
Pittsburg, Oct. 8.—Comptroller Gourley
and the city council's sub-finance com
mittee, engaged In an investigation of
the affairs of the office of City Attorney
Moreland, today obtained the desired In
formation from the Tradesmen National
bank as to the amount of Interest the
bank had paid to Assistant City Attor
ney House on the city's money deposited
in that institution. The bank has paid
to Mr. liouse the total sum of $21,316 in
terest on city money between April 14,
1885, and December 20, 1894. This swells
the total paid to Mr. House on the city
money deposited In the name of the city
attorney to $50,44.r>. The statement from
the Tradesmen National bank completes
the evidence required to show that the
funds belonging to the city of Pittsburg
had been made to earn money for others.
An unconfirmed report Is current that
ihe next move will be to compel City At
torney Moreland and his assistant. Mr.
House, to say as to what was done with
the interest money collected from the
city depositories. This action, it Is said,
will probably take definite shape tomor
row and may lead to further sensational
disclosures.
