DALLAS, TKXAS, July 10.-At 0.30 o'clock to-night ono of tho most startling tragedies Dallas has over known occurred in tho First Christian church, Ponrl and bryan streets, Inthomidstof protracted mooting services John T. Carlisle arose from his seat at tho rear of tho house nod walked to where I*rof. Wm. Lips comb, principal of tho Contrai High School, tho leading educational institu tion of the publie schools of thu city, was seated, on the first seat in front of tho altar, and shot bim without a word of warnie, , the weapon used hoing a ilS-calibro pistol. Prof. Lipscomb sprang up from bis seat, grappled with bis assailant and toppled over into tho aisle. Carlislo was seized and taken to .lie county jail. Ho appeared to ho almost helplessly drunk and could not, or would not, talk o? tho tragedy. Prof. Lipscomb was too badly burt to be removed from (he church. Ho was laid on the altar, his hoad resting in bis wife's lap and bis feet in a chair. Ho was reported dead itt 10.45 o'clock. Carl isle had for nearly a year been chief janitor of Hie high school, but failed to bo reappointed by tho school board about ten days ago. Carlisle attributed his defeat for reappointment to the pro fessor's influence with tho school board. If is believed this was the cause of tho murder. Prof. Lipscomb was a native of Nash ville, 'renn., and came to Dallas four years ago. John T. Carlisle is a native of Kentucky, a cousin of former secre tary of tho national treasury, John C. Carlisle.

ATLANTA, GA., July 0. - Bishop Mol lison spoke from the pulpit of the First Methodist Church to-day to tho Free Masons of Atlanta. In tho course of his sermon the bishop said: "ll has .seemed to me of late that tho prosent is an age of insincerity, an age el" falsehood, and tho status of society and of our business life will boar mo out. Thousands of men will not toll thc truth unless they know they cnn make some thing hy it. The moral decay of tho present age is due to this disregard for truth. Lies are put up in packages, sent ?ut in barrels and bung Up on hooks. Men are justifying themselves with tho fact that their acts are common. "Thal embalmed beef soul to Cuba is n<> worse than we get to-day. I behove llmt the large death list in this country, which is daily growing greater, is due directly lo the dishonest adulteration of food, which goes into tho homes of our country. The whole commercial world is hoiievcombed willi lint ruthi'illness, and tho inordinate love of money which lias laken bold of our people is at the bottom of it. "Thei'O are men in Atlanta to-day who have been running lo money so long that, while their wealth is live times as great as I or morly, their reputation is more dian live times as small as it was before.''

Lu ILK HOOK, AUK., July ll.-Tho details of a lynching at Corning, in Clay county, some days ago, came to light lune to-day through tho issuance of a proclamation by tho Governor, offering n reward for tho apprehension of the. mem bers of tho lynching party. Two years ago a young man named Ked Davidson was murdered in tho out skirls of Corning by a boy named George llrako. Tiie murder was tho result of a feud between tho town boys and thc boys from the surrounding country. Drake escaped and has never been enpturod. Recently Hud llrako, a bro ther, was arrested and placed in jail at Corning, charged with complicity in the murder. A few nights ago a mob of young men and boys, supposed to be the friends of Davidson, overpowered the jailer and took Hud Drake out ?md shot him to death. The G o vor nor offers a 1 reward of $100 for each of the members * of the mob and a like amount for the arrest of George Itlako. Engineer Assassinated. 1 NASHVILLE, Tenn., July 8.-H. W.

Tho Atlanta Constitution, which re cently published an elab?ralo report on tho Houndlap halo ol* tho American (lot ton Company, in discussing tho value of the new system of cotton handling, says: "It is quito clear that, in order to raise tho price whtoh should go to tho farmer for his cotton, thc commercial expenses in handling it must bo reduced. "Under present conditions, tho amount of money required to handle tho ero)), from tho gin to the factory platform, has grown out of all proportion, so that its commercial handling consumed tho profit wbioh should have gone to tho grower. Viewed from this standpoint, therefore, ovory movement which delivers tho farmer's cotton with least exponso to tho manufacturer must bo regarded as of tho widest public interest. "The new methods of round baling aro Oil this line, (hiing away with much of the clumsiness and oxtravagauco of the old system and substituting ono which can make of every cotton gin a compress us well. Tho claims of tho round bale advocates show that wo have entered upen an era of invention which means much to tho farnior, and much, there fore, to tho country." ?- . ^- .

Four MADISON, July IL-Editors Cou fior: Thovo luis boon a great deal saul n regard to tho big barbcouo dinner at ??onoca on Hie (tb of July. It hoing ad vertised in tho county papers boforo ?and, tho people naturally expected a rood timo and a freo dinner. 1 hnvo [teen tedd that thero were moro than two thousand people prosont, and lt would have berni a success but for tho fact that lhere was such a great contrast in tho principles of tho Farmers' Allianco . and the arrangements of tho barbecue dinner. lt scorns that ono man made tho an nouncement from tho stand that tho harbecue dinner was only prepared for thoir invited guesbs-about SOO in num ber-and that there wore lunch stands provided where others could get dinner ?it small cos!, when, at the samo time, on tho front of tho rostrum, upon which ho was standing, was au inscription: "Equal rights to all, ?md special privi leges to none." Now this is a good motto, but it is a little like Mark Twain said of tho good man. Ho said: "If you ho good you will be lonesome" I think that motto would seem lonosonio under those circumstances-.'100 invited guests or special privileged few and sovonteon hundred disappointed pooplo lo go homo hungry or pay for their dinner at thc Irnich Btnhd. Such arrangements as these wore not in hooping with thc motto and tho Allianco principles. Wo have been told that Mr. Tillman made the speech of his life that day. 1 would liked to havo heard it. lint I notice that Tillman nor l.atimer did liol mention the penitentiary muddle. They had better get things in shape down there. Tillman should remeinboi that when he was running for Qovoruoi of South Carolina ho talked a good deal about throwing stones and fighting w it! pitchforks. Ile need not ho surprised if in his next raco for tho Senate his op ponent has a whole carload of brick tc throw af him. Wo think Mr. Tillman and Mr. Latininr should pay up what they are due the State. They know Mr, Neal had no ht lok Ol' book casos of hit own to sell. As to Josh Ashley wo thinl< tho Slate, ought lo givo him a clear receipt and feed hi:; horse free again, simply for cleaning Ibo dead rats out. ol the dispensary whiskey. Though tin dispensary system is as rotten as Hu dead rats, but. it may not ho so unhealthy Therefore wo think Mr. Ashley did ? good deed. Yours, ?Vre, J. A. COOK. Constipation eau ho cured easily am certainly by Ibo use of Dr. Philco's Pleas ant Pellets. They aro perfectly si m ph -perfectly safe. Thoy aro not at al violent in their action, and yet they an more certain than many medicines wilie! are so strong that they put tho systen all out of onie. Tho great advantage o tho "Pleasant Pollets" is that they cnn permanently. You don't have to koo] on biking them. You don't acquire i "pellet habit," as in using other pills Take t hem regularly for a whilo, and yoi aro cured permanently. Aftor that, tali? thom only when you lind yourself sillier big from indigestion. Thero aro main medicines odored for tho saino purposi on which druggists make a big profit Jfor this reason, some druggists wonk rather sell tho othor things. If you: health is of more importance to you thai the druggist's prosperity, you will insis on having what you ask for. Connio Maxwell Orphanao.
