Barnwell, Jan. 2?Information was ; received here yesterday of one of the i most shocking tragedies that has ever j darkened the history of the country. ; At the home of Mr. J C Griffia near j Rabbins station, a New Year's dance : was giveD. During the dance, one j Hobbs trod upon the foot, or in some I way fell against Hayward Dunbar, j Hobbs apologized, but young Dunbar was not satisfied and went to his father, George R Dunbar, telling him that he bad been insulted. Mr. Dnnhnr at occe drew his pistol and advanced towards the room where Hobbs was. As he was in the act of shooting, a bystander struck the pistol up and the bullet going wide ef its mark, struck Mr. Fletcher Bennett, one of the many guests in the room and who was in no way connected with the disturbance. Falling to the floor, Bennett drew his pistol and returned the fire, shooting Mr. George Dunbar, who fell dead with a bullet in his heart. Resting on his elbow Bennett continued firiDg and killed Mr. Dunbar's son, Harry, a 16 j vear old boy, and perhaps mortally j wounded another son, Arthur. Mrs. Dunbar, the wife and mother, was struck in the abdomen by a stray ball, which rebounded from her corset thereby probably saving her life. George Dunbar Kirkland, a nephew of the deceased, now rushed upon the scene and drew his pistol upon the wounded Bannett, who was * ? *? Ktr f ho iJ'Dg OD IUC 11 JUL suypyucu 1jj vuw arm of bis brother. The brother entreated Kirkland not to shoot but, with an oath, the latter ordered him to move and threatened to kill him also. Without any further fffjrt to save his unfortunate brother, he sprang aside, leaving him to his fate Kirkland put two bullets into the forehead of the prostrate man, who died instantly. The coroner and sheriff were at once summoned and an inquest held. Kirkland is in the county jail, having surrendered to the sheriff. The wounded boy was sent to the Augusta hospital a few hours after he wa3 shot. It is not known what the physicians there say, but the probabilties ere that he is mortally wounded. Mr. George R. Dunbar is a son of the late Mr. Win. P. Dunbar of the Millettville section. He was about 45 years old. He leaves a widow and several children besides those implicated in the shooting. All parties to the affair are prominent in the county. \ A Fireman's Close Call. i4I stuck to my engine, although every joint ached and every nerve was racked with pain," writes C. W. Bellamy, ^ locomotive fireman, of Burlington, Iowa., "I was weak and pale, without aDy appetite and all run ^ A ?

Washington, Jan. 2?W. B. Wat- j chett of this city, representing the ; government of Liberia, called on i Secretary Long at the navy depart- ; ment today and made a formal request that the action of congress, as j em bodied in tbe act of April 17, I860, j providing for tbe relief of Liberia, be > carried into effect. That act, whicb | was introduced in congress by Sena- ' tor Summer and Representative j Banks of Massachusetts, provides j that there shall be transferred to tbe , government of Liberia one of the I government gunboats of the United j States navy, acceptable to the gov- j ernment of Liberia and which in the i oninion of the secretarv of the navy j ? coald be epared conveniently for that i purpose. Nothing was done in connection , with this legislation until President j Cleveland came into power when j Secretary Herbert of the navy de- 1 partment set aside the old wooien ; j l * \ ' warship Swartara for the use of the j I Liberian government. For various ! j causes, however, the order for the J ! vessel was Dever carried into tfh-ct. | The proposition now made by Mr. Matchett is that the navy department set aside another vessel on the same conditions. Secretary Loner requested Mr. Matchett to put bis request in writing in which event the matter would receive due consideration.

The President Requested To Read the Constitution and Declaration of Independence. Washington, Jan. 2 ?Representative RichardsoD, of Tennessee, the minority leader of the house, today personally presented the president with a set of his compilations of the messages and papers of the presidents of the United States. Ia making the presentation Mr. R'chardson laughingly asked the president to read carefully the constitution and declaration of independence. The president took the joke good natured ly and replied that he would. Says He "Was Tortured. "I suffered such pain from oms I could hardly walk," writes H.

The temperature of the body of a healthy person varies from about 97f to 98? degrees F. It is lowest between 2 a. m. and 4 a. m., and highest in the afternoon between 4 p. m. The body may feel hot or cold at different times, but its actual temperature does not alter by as much as a single degree, whether a person in good health is at the hot test or coldest parts of the earth, eating or fasting, at rest or taking violent exercise. We Are All Familiar "With the deep, hoarse bark, grimly called "a grave-yard cough." It i6 the cry of the tortured lungs for mercy. Give them mercy in the form of Allen's Lung Balsam, a remedy for pulmonary trouble, eo highly esteemed that it is recommended even in the earlier stages of consumption. la the later stages mortal still is unavailing. Nobody can afford to neglect a cold. Miss Alice Roosevelt Will Christen the German Kaisers New Yacht.

This announcement was made attfce White House tods.v. The kaiser's invitation to Miss Roosevelt was extended through Dr. von Holleben, the German ambassador to the United States. Greenville, Tenn.

THE COST OF A WEDDING, j How a t-irl Reporter Cot the Slory j Kroiti a MiutNter. j An amusing and effective coup at ; the expern^c of several prominent cler- j gymen was executed recently hy an | enterprising young newspaper woman, whose tactics, if open to criticism on other scores, possessed at least tlie charm or originality. Demure and Quaker-like it! her clinging gray gown and modest toque. she y timidly entered a certain Fifth avenue study and with downcast eyes eonlidod to the reverend occupant thereof that she wished to be married on the ."Oth of October and might she have his church? "I can think of nothing to prevent." replied the clergyman after ti moment's reflection. "And would you mind telling mo how much it will cost?" continued the fair questioner in still lower tones. Her host hesitated a moment. "Why. | that would depend altogether upon the elaborateness of the service. If you wish to be married quietly in the presence of a few friends. I will gladly place the church at your disposal free of charge. Of course tlie organist charges for his services, but ^perhaps j-ou do not wish any music." "Oh. yes. indeed. I want music. 1 want a choral service, and there will be a great many guests." "Wouldn't you prefer to have your fiance talk the matter over with me?" "Why, you see." this time with a I tinge of pathos, "he lives in Syracuse. I and he will not be able to come on until the day of the wedding." 1 Even a man interrupted at tho cli- | max of what ho felt to be one of his 1 most eloquent sermons could not resist 1 the appealing glance that accompanied this rnm:i :-k fhishins aside I he close- " ly written sheets with politely conceal- " 0(1 regret. the clergyman patiently gave estimates on the probable cost of ihe service of the organist and the "full c choir" and even discussed with urban- 1. ity such trivial details as lights, awn <3 ings. opening carriage doors, etc. 0 It was finally discovered that $12"# a would provide nil those desirable acces- f series to the great event, and the pro- I spoctive bride departed, apparently sat- 1: isfied with the result of her call. The 1 clergyman resumed his literary labors t and thought no more of the episode for a week or so when he wondered idly r why he had heard nothing more of the c approaching ceremony and then dismisstxl the affair from his mind. It was about a fortnight later that c the elderly sexton came to him iu a a state of strong agitation holding at I arm's length a copy of a well known a daily. His trembling forefinger pointed } to some huge headlines, which convey- a ed to the reading public the startling ij tlwi* !+ onef 1 \t\ tnnr.
