KILLED BY AN OFFICER.
UNKNOWN NEGRO AT THE MORGUE
Commanded to Surrender the Negro Drew
a Knife and Attempted to Cut
the Officer.
An unknown negro Is lying on the cool
ing boards at the Warner & Smiley com.
pany undertaking establishment.
He was killed last night by Deputy
Sheriff Oscar Jones.
The shooting occurred about 8 o’clock
near the Alabama Great Southern yards,
on Twenty-sixth street. Deputy Sheriff
Jones was in that vicinity in quest of an
other negro for whom he had a warrant.
The railroad officials had requested the
county officers to keep an eye on their
coal cars when passing them at night.
Officer Jones saw the negro on a coal car,
and called to him to submit to arrest.
Instead of heeding the command, the
negro Jumped from the car and tried to
get away with a basket full of coal.
The deputy followed, and caught up with
the negro after he had gone a short dis
tance. The fugitive, It is said, made a
savage assault on the officer with a knife,
inflicting a gash on his hand and cutting
his overcoat in several places.
Deputy Jones is much smaller in stat
ue than the negro, and says he could
see the knife flashing dangerously near
his head and throat, and, thinking that
his life was in danger, he fired a shot at
his assailant’s face. The ball struck the
negro full in the forehead, and he
dropped to the ground a corpse. He had
• his hand In the officer's collar when he
received the fatal bullet.
His fingers did r.ot relax their grasp,
and the determined little officer was
snatched to the ground with the dead
prisoner.
Deputy Sheriff Jones notified the "War
ner & Smiley company of the shooting,
.and returned to the county Jail, where he
gave himself up to Warden Will Reeves.
The body of the dead negro was viewed
at the morgue last night by a large num
ber of people, but none of them recog
nized him.
Thin and Impure blood Is made rich
and healthy by taking Hood's Sarsapa

HE USED HIS RAZOR,
Eugene Walker Badly Stabbed by Another
Negro Who Makes Good His
Escape.
Eugene Walker was badly cut last
night about 8 o’clock on Avenue B and
Twentieth street by an unknown man.
Both parties were negroes.
Walker was seen by a State Herald re
porter at the city hospital, where Dr.
Gibson dressed his bounds. He said he
had just entered the door of a fruit
stand adjoining a place known as "Fer
guson’s dive,” when some one dealt him
a heavy blow from behind. Before he
could rise he says a light ginger-cake
negro fell upqn him and cut him with
a razor in several places on the head and
body. Walker yelled for help, and two
negroes ran out of the saloon and came
to his assistance. The other negro ran
to the door and,raising his razor high in
the air, cursed his partners and dared
them to follow him. He escaped, and has
not been captured so far.
Walker has been an inmate of the
prison for several months, and was re
leased only a short time since. He Is
considered a dangerous character. When
asked by the reporter if he himself was
not a right bad negro, Walker said: "I
ain’t near as bad as the nigger that cut
me. He is a bad nigger. And I tell you,
boss, I didn’t feel good but one time dur
ing the attack, and that was when that
nigger was getting oft of me with his
razor.” _-_

Thanksgiving Day is with us once
again! According to presidential and
gubernatorial proclamations we are
called upon once more to offer public
thanks for the manifold blessings which
have been bestowed upon us by a gra
cious providence. And it is mete and
right so to do. During the past twelve
months—twelve months that held their
sorrows and disappointments for many
a human heart, as has been the case with
all the months in all the calendars of the
ages—there have come mercies without
number to each one of us. Even if we
tried you and I could not count the good
things which have come Into our lives,
with barely a consciousness on our part
of their coming. Many a blessing has
"slipped through the gates of Heaven"
into our hearts and homes as noiselessly
as the falling snowflake. Now that a
year since last Thanksgiving has passed
into the records of eternity who can say
v/e are not better off and happier than we
were twelve months ago. The financial
'depression, with its heavy burdens, is
quietly tilting about the horison. where
there are rays of prismatic glulky which
foretell the perfect day to come. This
great nation of ours is steadily growing
in power among the other nations of the
globe, and human freedom Is making
constant strides towards a universal ful
fillment.* Through those tremendous in
strumentalities, almost divine in their
appointment and service—the- pulpit, the
press and the schools—the human race is
reaching upward. Heavenward, and con
stantly climbing closer to God. Each
year marks the bringing into closer re
lationship the peoples of the earth; each
year carries the gospel of Christ into
more hearts and homes. That there have
come into tvery soul during the past
year disappointments dire and -dark you
and I well know; but we also, know that
sorrow and disappointment bring into
every life their twin angels, hope and
faith, provided our hearts are true and
right and wo trust in the great God who
doeth all things well. So on bended knee
this beautiful autumn day we shall
thank our creator for the countless mer
cies with which he has crowned our lives
and filled our homes.
ft ft ft
And while we send upward, through
the blue of autumn skies, the praise of
grateful hearts this Thanksgiving Day
let us not forget those upon whom the
burdens of life press weightily and those
homes where want and hunger stalk un
bidden and undefied.. Heaven is as close
to us as we care to make it, my friends,
and such a day as this brings its portals
to our very doors. It is our own fault
and because of our own blindness if our
eyes perceive not the gate, behind which
God and His angels stand.

magnetic woman and has already made

and her personal beauty. Across from
the parlor in the drawing room the ele
gant punch bowl stood. This room, rich
in ornamental colorings, was decorated
with many yellow chrysanthemums,
which were banked on mantel and ta
bles. In the library stood the choccolate
table with its pretty appointments. Dark
red chrysanthemums mingled their rich
beauty with the tints or paper and drap
eries. In the dining room, which is in

fied by candelabras holding pink candles
and pink chrysanthemums: also a great
bowl of the same pink blossoms, pink

embroideries. Pink chrysanthemums
were banked on the mantel, and Jars of
them stood about the room. Delicious
refreshments were served during the af

hind a bank of great palms and ferns in

THE BEST OF ALL
In All Things All The Time
THERE are many GOOD life insurance companies, but among
them all there must be one BEST. THE BEST is THE
EQUITABLE. If you wish to know why, send for: i, the
report of the Superintendent of Insurance for the State of New
York on the examination of The Equitable; 2, for actual results
of maturing policies; 3, for statement of death claims paid in
1894. Then you will know the three great reasons of The
Equitable’s supremacy: First, its financial stability; second,
its great profits and advantages to living policy-holders ; third,
the promptness of its payments and liberality of its settlements.
