A SHOTGUN AND A PISTOL USED Christian's Two Young Daughters In ths Carriage with Him When Harde man Opened Firs, Wounding Both Them. V' *' Athens. Ga., Jan. 27.—Wash Chris tlan, of this city, and Walter Harde man, of Madison county, engaged in a shooting scrape. In which both were shot and also two daughters o? Chris 4ia^ r^Slypd several loads of shot In tl^plr bodies. , _ .. , From the story of the trouble as given by Christian, who is a horse and rauls trader in this city, it appears that he had some two years sines been di vorced from his wife, taking with him his two oldest daughters and leaving his wife In control of the two young er children. 4 A tew; weeks since he let the two girls, aged 11 and 13, respectively, go to their grandmother’s. In Madison county, and went to get them, and found them at Walter Hardeman's, Just over the line of Clarke county. Hardeman had married the divorced wife of Christian a short while since. . Hardeman is alleged to have said that he would kill them before they should return to their father’s home In this city, and when they started to get Into the surrey with their father, Hardeman Is said to have made good bis attempt upon their lives. They started to get Into the buggy, and Just as they did so they Cried out to their father to. drive away quick ly, as Hardeman was fixing to shoot tljem. Just then he discharged his shotgun, and the load of shot tore through the side of the carriage, and struck one of the girls In the side. He shot again, and tne other girl threw up her band to protect her face, and caught the full load in her hand. The gun was loaded with bird shot, and Hardeman was at some distance, hence the wounds were not fatal. Had be been closer when he shot, the girls would no doubt have been badly in* Jared. After Hardeman had shot the two girls, Christian says he emptied his pistol at him, and was also shot at. Christian received a number of shot ia his right arm. and Is satisfied that he hit Hardeman when ho shot at him. as he staggered hack Into the room. It Is reported that Hardeman was hit In the arm and shoulder. Proper attention is being given the two girls, and they will recover. The shooting ocurred in Madison county, just over the Clarke county line. Youth is Killed py Car.- • Birmingham, Ala., Jan. 27.—Robert R. Lee Matthews, C-year-old son of Mr.* and Mrs. C. E.

The first company was theJPhiladel- phia Contributionshlp For tho Insur ance of Houses From Losses by Fire, and its insignia was four clasped hands, which was its house tiadge. This mark may still be seen throughout eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey on old time houses...The company survived till 1847. In 1792 the first life insur ance company "i*as founded In the same city^ It was called the Universal Tontlnei The next year similar com- 1 panics were started in Boston and In New Yoifc. Its avowed aim .was 4 *for the purpose ot raising a fund upon lives to be applied to charitable and other uses." Its subscription books were opened oo March 29, and five general agents were appointed. Bom* business was done during the summer, but In November of that year a general meeting of the subscribers was called, and the idea of a general Insurance company was suggested and met with approval The preposition was referred to a committee, and at on adjourned meeting held at tbft^atate* house oo Nov. 12 It was resolved that “the. Universal Tontine association be and la hereby changed frpmlts original object and converted Into a society to be called the Insurance Company of North America,**^ Jtg first policy wan issued to John Mftxwen NwrbT.v? president, for $5,333.33. It wrote both I fire and life insurance, but paid atten tion chiefly to the former and gradual'] ly dropped life insurance altogether.
