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.
Tboro is only ono way to euro deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of tho mucous lining of tho eusta
chian tube. Whon this tuhngots inflamed
you havo a rumbling sound or Imperfect
hearing, and when it is outiroly closed
deafness is tho result, and unless tho
inflammation can bo takon out and this
tubo restored to its normal condition,
hearing will bo destroyed forovor. Nino
eases out of ton aro caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condi
tion of tho mucous surfaces.
Wo will givo ono hundred dollars for
any caso of deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot bo cured by Hall's Catarrh

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.
Just before ho died ho rose to a
sitting posture nnd snid :
"if you tako tho flames nwny, I
want to sny something," then ho
sunk bnck nnd died.

MoKINLEY'S MESSAGE.
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.
Of conreo thoro will bo tho gold
question, currency, tariff, canal and
a lot of gloss to covor it over, but
this is plainly the issno as shown by
McKinley's messogo.-Spartanburg
