MURDERED HIS WIFE AND SHOT IIIS MOTHER-IN-LAW IN THE ARM-M?OE HIS ESCAPE. WITHOUT !l 111) If WARNING The Fatal Shof Was Flrod-Tho Husband a Well-to-Do Farmori LITHONIA, GA., December 6. Hiram Sharp, a well known and prosperous farmer living four milos from this plaoo, instantly killed his wife this morning at 8 o'dook and painfully wounded his mother-in law. As soon ns the shotj woro fired, Sharp darted out ot his houso and ran into tho woods. l?o is now be ing ohnsed hy a large party, headed by tho deputy sheriff and his party. Tho neighborhood is greatly ox oited and thoro is muoh feeling ex pressed by tho neighbors. Just tho causo loading up to tho tragedy is not known, but it is gene rally understood that there has been an estrangement of soveral years' cxistonco between Sharp and his wife. A short time ago sh o left him, after a hitter quarrel, but she re turned, and sinco sho has been ap parently happy, and they have .been living together as man and wifo at their country homo. Mrs. Sharp was 50 years of age and of good family. Her husband is about tho same age, and Mrs. Sharp's mother is 6T> years old and very feeble. SHOTS vi lt Kl > WITHOUT WARNING. The shot which instantly killed Mrs. Sharp was fired this morning by her husband without warning. In fact, tho report of tho shotgun wae tho first intelligence of her husband's presence, so the only eye-witness tc tho shooting states. Sharp had been out in tho woodc with his shotgun, which was heavily charged with buckshot. Ile left thc houso early this morning, and hit wife and hoi* mother supposed thal ho would ho absent until tho noor hour. At 8 o'clock ho suddonly and un expectedly returned. Ile rushed in to the house without making ii it presence known until tho si" I was fired. As soon ns he threw tho door opoi he leveled thc gun at his wifo'i heart and deliberately pulled tin trigger boforo she could ovon ste] aside or mako an exclamation. Not a word was spoken by tin husband, who deliberately sin coolly fired. Tho shot made a frightful wound tearing away the breast and p?n?tr?t ing thc heart. Mrs. Sharp fell to tho lloor dyin< instantly. INTBNDKD TO KILT. TWO. The dead woman's faithful oh mother, tottering with age, spranj from her chair in tho corner uni attomped to shield *the prostrat form. Sharp turned'' in anger upon th defenseless old woman. His faoi was white with rago and uneontrolln bio frenzy. Again he levelled the shotgun am poured tho other barrel of huoksho into his mother-in-law. Tho second shot was fired hastil and after tho man was wild wit passion and excitement and his air was not so good, for ho all bu missed his second victim. She was struck in tho loft an and her arm from tho elbow to tli finger tips were riddled and tor with buckshot. Tho old woman is very weak froi loss of blood and the great shook < the tragedy and it is feared sho wi not recover. Ki.Kl) INTO TUB WOODS. Sharp was not in tho houso men than thirty seconds, so quickly Wi the bloody mission performed. As soon as he had fired tho la shot, ho turned and rushed from tl blood stained room, where his wi was gasping for breath and li mother-in-law was screaming f help. Ho sprang out of tho door whi< ho had mitered just a moment befo and in a second was lost from sig in the woods. Tho nows of the tragedy quick spread through tho neighborhood ai within an hour many of tho best ai most consorative and substantial ft mers of that portion of tho conn had gathered and plana woro bei discussed as to tho best manner which to attempt to effcot Shafj capture. When tho doputy sheriff was no ficd and reached tho scone of 1 , crime, thoro was littlo. difficulty delay in getting a large posso form and tho trail waa takon up. Tboro is much oxoitomont and evory ono is oppressing sympathy for the dead woman and tho wounded mother. 1IIE FAMILY VBUY X'HOMINBNT. The Sharp family' has boon vory prominent for a number of years and Hiram Sharp has been regarded as a good farmer and a law abiding citi zen, bo has accumulated sorao prop erty and had a lot of friends who aro dumbfounded at tho allocking detail? of tho tragody. On account of her injury and norvous condition, Mrs. Sharp's mother has. not recovorod her strength suflioiontly to toll tho details or to givo a conneoted account of tho causo which lcd to tho tragedy. The ooronor has been summoned, and it will not bo possiblo to got tho full particulars until he makes his investigation. Up to tho noon hour nothing has been heard from Sharp, and tho chances aro that ho has ronohed a railroad and got on sonic outgoing train before this. If ho is not captured by nightfall, an effort will doubtless bo made to have a reward offered for his arrest. Hiram Sharp has two daughters, who aro married, and a son, a suc cessful farmer living in tho imme diate neighborhood in which the crime was committed. LATBST.-Sharp has been arrested and lodged in jail at Decatur. No ono was hurt in making tho arrest. A mob came near lynching tho pris oner. Sharp claims that ho did not know what ho was doing and that ho is crazy. Thc samo old trick. Deafness Cannot bo Cured by local applications, ns they cannot reach tho diseased portion of tho ear.

A MOB OF 1,000 KENTUCKIANS SEIZE A NEGRO ASSAILANT ANO BURN limp w$ Siako, Torturing Him a la Sam Hose-Ber.! His Head and Gouged Out His Eyes? MAYSVIXLK, KY., December 0. Dick Coleman, tho nogro murderer of Mrs. Lashbrook, waa takeu from tho officers by a mob of 1,000 mon to-day and bumed at tho stako. The mob, lcd by tho husband of tho ne gro's victim, drugged tho shrieking criminal through the principal stroots of tho town, bound him to a small trpo, sot lire to brush and wood about him and stood guard until ho was doad. Coleman arrived hore ot 10.20 this morning under n spooial guard of deputy shoriffs, sworn in by tho she riff, including Doteotivo Fitzgerald, Constable 'Dawson, Chiof of Polico Donovan, all tho polico forco and two deputy shoriffs. When they ar rived at tho court house they wore met by a mob of 1,000 people, headed by James Lashbrook, tho husband of tho murdcrod woman, and wont im mediately up Second stroet, through tho control portion of tho oity to tho hill, followed by fully 5,000 of tho citizens of this city.and county. Ail was dono that wns possiblo by thc sheriff and his guards to prevent a lynching, but in tho fnco of such a mob of people, irrespective of color, it was useless to attempt to do any thing savo deliver him up, which was dono. Tho mob grabbed tho negro and threw a ropo over his head and carried him to a small hol low, near tho railroad tracks, where they bound him tightly to a young sapling. Thou th / heaped a hugo pile of brushwood and timber around him and fired tho stack, whilo his eyes rolled horribly. IT WAS AN AWFUL SGBNJfi, Tho scone was an awful ono, and around the pyre woro thousands of maddened people, hendod by tho husband of tho dead woman. A dozen torchos woro applied simulta neously, and hugo tongues of iiro swept up and around tho agonized wretch. Beforo tho roasting began Cole man waa almost doad. Tho ropo had torn and lacerated his nook, and his fnco was terribly bonton up. Dino vitroil and cayenne popper wore thrown into his oyes, and his faco was smashed in with n chunk of wood. Coleman said fifteen minutes be fore ho was sot nfiro thnt ho lind nothing to sny. His denth wns slow, and, writhing in torriblc ngony, ho was hooted and glared nt by thou sands of pooplo stnnding on tho edge of tho pit. Mnny women were pres ent. Ho died nt 10.55 A. M. His oyas, nftor tho poppor nod vitriol were thrown into thom, woro gouged out, and somo say he was horribly mutilated.

A Long Story Cut ?hoi f 'Groat' Blessings Will Come to Cuba-Nit. Tho mcB8ago of President Mo K in . loy was formally presented to Con groes last Tuesday, although a gene ral outline of it had boon given out weeks ago. There is nothing remarkable about tho message oxcept its length. It. is an up-to-dato high tariff, imperialist dooumont with what is to bo an at tnok on trusts. Ho speaks in a vague sor? of a way of extending tho pres ent laws to control trusts and tho failure of States to do it, but, with an Attornoy Gonornl who is known to bo tho friend of all combinations, and Maik Hanna, who unblushingly up holds thom, as presidential censor nothing can bo expeotod of this ad ministration that will roli.ve tho peoplo of tho trust ovil whioh is sap ping tho vory lifo of tho body com mercial, closing faocorios, throwing skilled mechanics out of situations, and leaving commoroial travolors, who havo toured up and down the country for years, out in tho cold and nt tho samo timo raising the prices of all the loading commodities of trade His iinely rounded son tonces condemning trusta havo n'f> torror for tho trust kings, foi they know that it is idlo talk, and if Mc Kinley should be ro-olcotcd, trusts will rulo ovory nvonuo of trado and competition becomes an illusion. Tho situation in tho new foroign depondonoieB is roviewed at groat length. Talk of what groat bless ings will como to Cuba through tho restoration of agricultural and com moroial prosperity ia indulged in ; but no mention is mado of tho faot that a peoplo who fought for thoir freedom for yoars against tho most cruel monarchy on earth aro now in tho thraldom of tho greatest ropublio on earth-pleading-but for freedom and that denied. Special medals arc asked for tho sailors and soldiers who fought in tho Philippines, but no referenco to tho stricken homes of Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Ne braska, Kansas and Dakota, whose sons died in tho rico fields of tho Oriont, not for a groat prinoiplo, but that tho government of MoKinloy, lianna & Company might bo ex tended. Tho message contains referenco to tho situation of tho United StatOL oiti/.ons in Turkey, which, it is stated, is very unsatisfactory. But an administration that is using its powor to orush liberty in two hemi spheres has no timo to look after its citizens in othor countries. A judiciary is asked for tho Ha waiian Islands, and, if the imperial istic polioy of MoKinloy continuos for five years more, thousands of ofliccs could bo provided for his faithful henchmen, and ho would not bo compolled to fill Southern post offices with negroes. This is, at loast, a consolation. Summarized the moflsago moans, That trusts shall bo protect? .1 ; tho foroign posses sions retained and governed with a rod of iron ; all attempts at inde pendont government by tho peoplo of theso islands to bo crushod if it costs thousands of tho flower of our army and millions of our treasury. These aro tho colors under which MoKinloy expects to fight tho noxt campaign, disguise thom as ho may.
