Tnose two gentle* men met In Church street, in the rear of the Courthouse, and wlthou \ exchanging many words went U abooting each other with the resell djbove described. The tragedy caused {great shook to the tnitre communl ty, and for a time busir^sa was almost suspended nothing was talked about hardly but the terrible odour renoe that bad resulted in the death of ore gentleman and the deeperaU wounding of another. It wae abiot 'tidvdu onflool wher MTeral pistol shots rang out lu rapio suoossslon, which stanl d avdry out who heard them.

It is supposeo ahmt eight or ten shots wars fired in all. As Boon as potslbie people h eoeoe after the pistols had beet emptied. Immediately af the shoot big Mr. Parloi wasseen slowly walking baokward and sideways towards the Northwest corner of the Courthous, Square and Mr. Oovar slowly following him, both gentleman apparently re- ioaoing their pistols. When Mr. Parks reached the cornei he crossed over Churon street and en mred t*w> law offloedf Mdears Bjwmai * Bowman. Wnen he rescued the ifflje he gave bis pistol to L W. Bow an, «fcq . Who was standing In hit effloe door, having gone there on hear ing the pistol shots. At this time Mr Pqrks did not seem to be badly hurt, but he was verr pale, and said u those who fra** gathered that be was fatally shot. Mr. Parks ml dowh iL s chair, and it soon became apparent that he was seriously hurt Me ws-. who St fintl thought that he was not fa tail) hut but attar being removed U the reekUnoe of his brother in law Dr. J.

The " v - Ceasas Report Covers - Wve Y*ars. •be The bureau of the census hu Just published a report presenting mortal* ity statistics for the United States for the five calendar years 1900 to 1904. This report was prepared under the supervision of the late William A* King, chief statistician for vital stat istics. „ The annual compilation of statls- Jos of mortality was authorised by act of Congress establishing the rmanent census effloe. The statls- •los, however, do not cover the entire country, but, io accordance with the provisions of this aot, are restricted o what U; termed the "registration irea.” This area comprises those 4tales and elties which have laws re* ting the reg s r ration of death and records sffjrdlrg satisfactory md com parable data. In 1904 U .ln duding 11 States and a34 cities whWb tad at leant 8,000 population in 1900 Pbe 11 registration States are Don icticut, District of Golumbla, In bana, M.ine, Massachusetts, Mlohi xan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Rxode Island, and Ver mont; the 334 registration elties in ilude, in addition to the elties In the 11 registration States, a considerable ■umber whioh are lu non*reglstration State. , These States and cities, composing •he registration area, inolnded in 1904 •-% population of 32 996 989, or only a rlfla more than two-fifths of the estl oated population of the United Stater For the remainder of the United States we have at present no mortal! y statistics which are sufficiently re lie and complete to be included it report. The registration area, owever, is gradually increasing in ex ant, as the various States and citlet ome to reallxv the importance of hav ng adequate registration laws and ol ifLcJvely eafoiclng them. The number of deaths reported In •be registration area in 1900 was 639,* 939, and the death rate per 1 000 o population was 17 6 In 1901 the rate eouned to 16 6 sac* in 1902 the rati •eclined to 16. The rate increased It . 903 to 16 2 and in 1904 t(^ 16 7. Th .verage annual rate for the five yean waa 16 6 per 1.000. The average annual death rate Ir •be registration States was 17x8 pei 1,000 (n the cities of 8,000 or mon population in 1900 and 14,3 per Ij m rural distriote, which u the term s here used, includes everything out •ide these cltiae. Roods Island is tht •nly registration State la which tht rate was as high in the rural, district a in the elties. But In Mattaobusstfe Jonnsctiout and New Hampshire tb« xrban rate exceeded the rural by lest 1 per 1 000. The excess wet [greatest in Njw Jersey, New ton md Maine. The higher mortality for titles h sue largely to the fact that resident* jf rufal distriote when orlttoally ill re urt to the hospitels and institution* n the oittss for treatment, and that oe deaths cocurring la such cases an tabli bis Pnenmonia was seoond among the principal causes of death, the average annual rate b log 134 9 per 100,000 popu atiou. The death rate from tnis disease lx the registnttloa area of the United States Is considerably greater than in England and Wales and Scot land. Vm the principal oitlrs the Average annual rates were highest In Atle- gheney, Pittsburg, New York a.id Kansas City, Mo.; and lowest In S|. Paul, Minneapolis, fit. Joseph, 'Mo., and Toledo. Among the Iradirg esuses of death, diarrhea and enteritis was third, the average annual mortality from tht* disease for the five years being 113 1 | v per 100,000 Over 8<Tper cent of the deaths from these diseases were deaths of children under five years of age, and and over 66 per oept of children under one year ofage. F>r the principal cities the rate was highest In Fall River. It was high also in Pittsburg, Prov denes, New York and Ails gbeny. ~ . . Heart disease was fourth among the leading causes of death, the average annual rate in the registration area of the five yean being 129 9 per 100,000 of population. Over 76 per cent of the deaths from this disease occurred at tges above 44, over 46 per cent occur ring at 66 years and over. It is no tioeable that the mortality from heart disease is steadily Increasing, the death rate advancing from ill 2 per 100,000 in 1900 to 134 8 In 1904. Another cause of death with an In* creasing rate was cancer, the rate for whioh increased from 63 per 100,000 In 1900 to 70.9 in 1904 A compara tively small proportion of the deaths from cancer occurred at ages under 40 years.

After e Ilf a of erlme beginning with boyhood, "Lord Frederick Seymore Barrington, society highwayman, ra sourceful crook, bigamist, forger inA murderer, paid the penalty of his last otime on the oaffold Friday at Ooly- tod, Mo. The erlme for which Barrington was to die on the scaffold was the marder of ^Janaes P. MoOann, a well known sporting man of this tity, oo June 18, 1903.
