Barnesvllle, Ga., Sept. 20.-Night Marshal Ben Porch, who was shot at 3 o'clock this morning by Ben Per due, a prominent planter, who lives near here, died at 2 o'clock this af ternoon. The shooting was Ihe sequel to the arrest of Perdue by Marshal Porch, lt is alleged that. Perdue was drink ing during the early part of Satur day night, and he was arrested and locked up by Marshal Porch. After being confined for some hours Perdue, was released, through the ef forts of friends, when, it is alleged, he procured a shotgun and opened fire on Marshal Porch as the latter passed up Market street about '? o'clock Sunday morning. It was thought at first that Mar shal Porch's wounds would not prove fatal, but he became worse about 12 o'clock, and died two hours later. Perdue fired both barrels of the glin, one charge passing through one thigh into the other, and the other load entering the officer's back. Mayor Cochran heard the officer's cry for help, and went to his assist ance, carrying him home and procur ing medical help. After shooting the marshal, Per due escaped and no trace of him has been found, though officers are searching for him. Both Peroae and Porch are mem bers of old families, and on accouat of this prominence and the circum stances of the tragedy, great excite ment prevails. CHOLERA IN ST. PETERSBURG. Virulent Type Appears-Sufferers Live Only Fifteen Minutes. St. Petersburg, Sept. 20.-St. Pe tersburg Is in the grasp of the Asiatic cholera, which already has exceeded in severity and numbers the visita tion of 1893. The disease is increas ing daily at an alarming rate, and unless the authorities show In the future a much greater degree of abil ity to copo with the situation than they have In the past, there Is every reason to fear that lt will get oui of hand. The government has threatened to apply the provision of martial law, and this threat has driven the munic ipality authorities to bend their en ergies to the campaign of clearing the city of the scourge. The alder manlc council to-day voted a prelim inary sum amounting to $2 50,000 to enlarge the hospital space, to pur chase and distribute disinfectants, the supply of which in St. Petersburg is well nigh exhausted, and to expe dite the Interment of bodies, which has been notoriously slow. The dead houses aro overcrowded and many corpses He unburied. Under his authority as prefect of St. Petersburg, Gen. Dracheffsky, on Saturday, prohibited the sale of li quor throughout the city, including the government ved?a shops, until September 22, end he has further or dered that after that date the sato of liquor shall bo suspended at 2 p. m. on Saturday until 10 a. m. Monday. This action has been taken In order to diminish alcoholic excesses, which very materially increase the liability to cholera Infection and the general spread of the disease. Sufferers Die In Fifteen Minutes. Tho situation, which has always been serious since the very first case was reported, assumes a graver as pect from tho appearance to-day of a very virulent type of the disease, in two cases of which death followed within fifteen minutes of the first symptoms. MANILA SITUATION si-: I (io rs. Fifty-Eight Nov Cuses of Cholera mid Nineteen Deaths Reported. Manila. Sept. 21.-Fifty-eight new eases of cholera and nineteen deaths aro reported for the 24 hours ended at 8 o'clock Monday morning. The infected areas in tho city and Buburba are spreading somewhat,but the health officers aro still confident that they will be able to speedily gain control of the situation. Governor Gen. Smith has summon- . ed a special meeting of the members of the Philippine Commission to dis cuss the plague situation and to lay plans for the campaign now waging. Federal troops are at prebent guarding the sources of the city's wa ter supply to prevent the throwing of any lufected matter Into the water, and it is probable that the force thus engaged will be largely reinforced. The army transport Sheridan, which bas been detained at the har bor quarantine station at Martvales for several days owing to the discov ery of two cases of cholera aboard, lias been completely fumigated and a clean bill of health has been given. The Sheridan will sall to-day for Nag asaki, Japan, on its way to San i Francisco. .S5,ooo,ooo FIRE IN PARIS. Post Office and Telephone Exchange Totally Destroyed. Paris, Sept. 21.-Fire broke out last night In the Central Telephone Building and spread with such rapid ity that the telephone employees were forced, after brief and ineffectual ef forts to extinguish the flames, to fly hastily to the streets. The entire ; building was soon in flames, and this together with the post office, which ls located close to Places des Victoires, was destroyed. The loss ls estimated at $5,000,000, but a much greater loss ls likely to be involved through the complete Interruptions ? of telephonic communication, lt will i take more than a month to re-estab- j llsh the service, and even temporary I installation will require a consider able length of time. The origin of the fre, lt ls be lieved, was due to a short cir cuit. It is asserted also that lt may have been of Incendiary origin, but nothing as yet has been found to prove this. Telephone employees, when they first discovered'the flames, tried to extinguish them, but were forced to desist on account of the volumes of black smoke, and the pungent fumes from the buring gutta percha. In a short time the flames enwrapped the entire five stories and were bursting through the roof, leap ing skyward like a blast furnace. Sunday was a record day In the history of the fire department, the men being out all morning and af ternoon for a big fire in a depart ment store in the ' Fauberg Saint Denis. Damage to the extent of $800,000 was done there. WRIGHT WINS CHAMPIONSHIP. Speeds Through the Air at Ense in His Aeroplane. . Lomans, France, Sept. 21.-In the presence of the officials of the French Aero Club, of Sarthe, the American ambassador, Henry White, Gen. Ba zaine-Hayter, commander of the 4t.h army corps, a large number of French and foreign experts and a wildly cheering crowd, numbering 10,000, Wilbur Wright, the American aero naut, this afternoon captured the world's record from his brother, Or ville Wright, with a flight in his pow erful machine of one hour, 31 min utes and 5 seconds, covering in that time an actual distance of 98 kilome ters, or the greatest distance covered by an aeroplane in 1908, and the aero club prize of $1,000 for the longest flight over an enclosed ground. The wind was too high In the morning to permit of a flight and when lt fell at 4 o'clock this afternoon Wright made three false starts. Finally at 6.15 the aviator got away'nicely, sailing majestically up the field. After rounding the upper turn Mr. Wright swept back and began de scribing elipses. On the 13th round Wright rose to GO feet, after almost skimming the earth. In the gathering darkness the aero plane could no longer be seen at the farther end of the field and it ap peared and disappeared in the gloom like a white phantom. Only the sound of the ceaseless churn of the propellers told the multitude that Wright was still In the air. Matches were lighted to keep watch on the fleeting minutes and night had fallen when at the end of the 33d round Wright came lightly to the ground. With a mad cheer the crowd rush ed forward, only being prevented from hoisting the American In tri umph on their shoulders by charging cavalry. . Notice to Local Secretaries.
