Columbia, S. C , .Ian. 15.? N. G. Gonzales, editor of The State, is Ht the Columbia Hospital in a criticul condition, ns a result of a serious pistol wound inflicted by Mr. James 11. Tillman, Lieutenant Governor of South Carolina. The Shooting occurred on Main Street, just at the intersection of Gervais stroet, in full view of the State Capitol. It was an awful tragedy in broad 1 lU.. * v?-?j ii^uu uiiu uLi mo moki irequented street and corner in Columbia. The bullet which pierced through one of the most distinguished editors of tho entire South, may end that brilliant life, but if the bc>t of surgery, tho best of care and tho most ardent of pra>ers and wishes avail for might, that life ought to bo saved. It was just a few moments before 2 o'clock when the cry was passed along the streets that "Jim Tillman had shot N. G. Gonzales." It was a shocking and startling announcement. It went like a thrill through all Columbia and there was a rush towards the sceno of tho tragedy to learn the facts and condition of the distinguished editor. Lieutenant Gov. Tillman was arrested after the shooting &nd relieved of two JS calibre pistols before being taken to jail. The only cause known for the shoot iug ?? iuu opposition ot ltatitor Gonzales' to Tillman's election as Governor in tbo primary last August and tbo expressions used editorally against bill). There appears to bo no conllict wf testimony as to the essential features of the tragedy. Lieut.Gov. Tillman, iu company with Senators Talbird and Brown, Congressman-elect Aiken and former representative Dominick, on their way from tho State bouse, met Mr.. Gonzales, wbo^ was on bis way to dinner, jtast tprn W Main and GervaisStreets. "iVfhere Was no encounter, 110 list fighting, no laying 011 of hands. Lieutenant Governor Tillman, tbo testimony now all seems to be, simply drew bis revolver and fired into Editor Gonzales. Most of those who saw the affair say there was noth^ ing said until after tbo shot. One of Lieutenant Governor Tillman's escort says he thinks Mr. Tillman uai,i' KI .?1 ? '? o?>u> 3 icvvivvu JTUUI' UlUiSU^t!," and then tired, lie is not certain of this, but thinks so. The other escort of Mr. Tillman says ho did not hear anything and did not see (ho affair, but thinks ho would have heard any words, as ho was in tho vory midst of the affair. Two or three others say they heard nothing until after tho tiring of the pistol. Editor Gonzales and Lieutenant Governor Tillman have passed each other in full riow since tho opening of tho present session of the General Assombiy on Tuesday, but there has been no oucounter, no word passed, no nod or recognition of any kind, ard today it came liko a thunder clnp out of a poaceful sky when the shot was tired. As to tho shooting, that is a simple story. Licutenunt Governor Tillman met Mr.Gonzales on the street, drew his pistol and tired at him, wiped his pistol on hie coat sleeve, took aim as if to tire again, chang ed his mind and let his pistol fall to hie sido. Lioutennnt Governor Tillman was perfectly cool and collected, sober and uuexcited to ull appearance. Mr. Gonzales was unarmed. The shock froVn the magazine phtol paralyzed him and as Mr. Gor.zales saw tho deadly weapon aimed at him, perhaps for a fatal bullet, he cried out. "Shoot again, your coward!" If his life be spared, perhaps that expressI ion which mav have ihn J ? I? w" %,,xy second bullet, was tho magic ?>f Iho occash n There was only one shot fired and that entered the right side between tho eighth and ninth ribs and passed through tho fore part wf the body, coming out just ubovo the free border of the ribs. The most serious wound is the cutting of tho cransvorso colon for about an inch and a half, almost evering tho intestine. This and tho three other wound of the intestines j were carefully sewed. After tho ! operation tho physicians reported j that the patient stood the ordeal beautifully and that tlie operati on was as successful mm it could be. Lieutenant Governor Tillman was asked for u statement but said he had been advised by counsel to say absolutely nothing, and ho followed their advice to the letter. gonzai.es' general condition favorable. Columbia, 8. C., Jan. 1G. ? At 1:15 this morning the hospital bulletin says: 1'nlse, 113; respiration. !tO't<inint>riihii'o OU '.l.K Mr. Gonzales is sleeping quietly. His general condition is regarded us favorable, but the physiciuns say thero is no forecasting result until the expiration of 72 hours, the usual limit for peritonitis.
