Chnlonor Shoots (Hllard, Who Had I'iii'sikmI His Wife to the Home of Chnloner, Whither She Had tioiie to Sock Protection From ller Husband. Charlottesville, Va., March 16.?J. Armstrong Chaloner was this afternoon fully exonerated of all blame in connection with the death of John GlUurd, who was struck in the temple and killed by a bullet from Chaloner's pistol, for the possession of which the two were contesting. i ne victim was an rmgii^iiiimu, who came to Virginia about two years ago from Australia, and was living within three miles of Chaloner's country home, "The Merry Mills," near Cobhani, this county. Gilliard's wife yesterday sought Chaloner's protection from her husband, who had beaten her and threatened her life. She had arrived at "The Merry Mills' in advance of the man and, with her children, was waiting in the dining room to tell her story, when her husband entered and assaulted her with a pair of heavy tongs. At this point Clialoner and Erine E. Money, who was with him, entered the room and interfered. The Englishman was in a frenzy and, during the scuflle, Chaloner drew his pistol to restrain him. The man seized the pistol and tried to turn it on his wife. In the scuffle it " O" .llffihnrirn/1 U'llh f !1 t :l 1 A magistrate was at once summoned and made acquainted with the facts. lie held an inquest this afternoon, at which the widow told the story of her husband's brutal treatment. She was postive that her husband discharged the pistol in an effort to kill her, and other testilied to this fact. Her fourteen-year-old son, who was present at the tragedy, said that his father had fully determined to kill his mother, and that he would have succeeded but for Chaloner.

Fino Assessed First Two Months of This Your Are In Excess of Same Period Two Years Ago. Atlanta, March 16.?The Journal says fines assessed in police court i 1 * %- - ? i * ? - i, .. - r a.!.. <1 it ii it K i ne nisi i \n o ii I (i ii i iio in l 111 j-? year were larger than for the two corresponding months of any other year in the history of police court. Though the number of cases tried during the past two months were not as large as for other months larger tines were imposed. During January the fines assessed by the city recorder amounted to $ 1 6,047.7.r> and of this amount $6,964.50 was paid in, the other fines being worked out at the city workhouse. In February $ 1 3,354.25 in fines was assessed, while $6,82 6 was paid. This brought the total amount assessed up to $2 8,354.25 which is the largest in the history of the police court for January and February. The total amount paid i^i Was $13,790.50, which is considered unusually large. In January of 1907, the fines im posed uy in** cuy recuruer were 9 t i 880.r>0 and in the following month amounted to $0,070.75. At tho time this was considered unusually large as more cases were being tried in police court each day than at any other time. It was before the prohibition law went into effect and for this reason more cases were tried each day than are placed on the docket now. According to the figures at police headquarters, $0,550.75 more was assessed for the first two months of this year than in 1 007, at which time whiskey was here. The cases tried during January and February of this year numbered 3,047, while for the first two months of 1007 there were 3.4 5S tried. The first two months of 100S, the first of prohibition in Atlanta, were very small as compared to the fines assessed the first two of this year. For tho two months the fines assessed amounted to $13,421.75, which is but half as large as for the two months of this year than were assessed for the first two months of 1908. Though many fines have been paid during this year the city workhouse lias l>ooi) well filled at ail times, miring last week there wore more white 1 prisoners (loins work for the city than ever before. On one day last * week there were sixty male white 1 prisoners at work in the city workf house. The large number of negroes brought this number up to J almost 4 00. i _ t TART It R.MARKS SWAPPED 1 3 Ry Cannon and Clark?Opposing 3 j Leaders Cross Rats. "Washington, March 16.?Speakei r Cannon and Champ Clark, the mi0 nority loader of the house, swapped j tart remarks about each other at tlu j White House today.

BOLT THE PARTY Gulp Down Cannon And Vote For Despot's Rule THEY ARE TRAITORS Ami Should bo Treated as Sueli?The Insurgents Stand True to Their Promises and Vote With Faithful Democrats to Curb the Arbitrary Power of Speaker Cannon. Washington, March lf>.?Speaker Cannon is still on top in the House, t> 111 if it had not been for tiie votes of twenty-three traitors in Hie Democratic ranks he would have been routed horse, foot and dragoon, and ills despotic power in the House would have been a thing of the past. It is supposed that these recreant Democrats voted as they did because Speaker Cannon had promised them extra good committee appointments. This will come out when the commits :a are appointed if it is true. At one time the Democrats and insurgents defeated Speaker Cannon's autocratic rules, but when Champ Clark proposed to adopt the resolution agreed on in the Democratic caucus for a general revision of the 1 OO T (.w,l ..,1 i rums, ?0 i/uiiiwnum, nu.iumiit, nvi: Georgia members, bolted and voted with the machine Republicans for a mild revision proposed by Fitzgerald of New York, who led tlie bolt, and the bolters and the Cannon Republicans voted to give Cannon the power of appointing committers, including the rules committee, with practically the same powers as before. The five Georgia traitors were Livingston, Griggs, Howard, Edwards and Lee. The insurgents stood manfully to their guns and the fight against Cannon would have been won except for the bolt of the Democrats, all of whom should be excluded from future Democratic caucuses, as they have proven untrue to their party at a vital time. The bolt of Fitzgerald was genearly expected. He has been slated by Cannon as a member of the important. committee on rules. If the Democrats had won their fight today the appointment of committees would have been taken out of the speaker's hands and Fitzgerald would have missed the appointment. It is expected that all the bolters will be given good committee assignments. Only nine of them are from the South, the five Georgians, Broussard and Kstopinal from Louisiana, who, l?y the way, aro nearly always counted on to vote with the Republicans, Sparkman of Florida ; and Moon of Tennessee. Six of them wore Now Yorkers, the Tammany crowd, the other eight . are from different Northern and Western States.. The regular Democrats are very much wrought up over the action of the bolters, who may lie ruled out of the party cauqftis, because the 1 Denver platform is so explicit upon the question of revising the rules * of the house so as to take the autocratic power away from the speaker The rules adopted, it is true, take 3 away a small modicum of this pow * er, but leave him with the most im s portant and most dangerous power The Cannonites are jubilant to [> night, for although they did not gel * all they wanted, they got the com R promise which it is believed had tin sanction beforehand of Mr. Cannon and as soon as it was proposed b] p Mr. Fitzgerald word was passe< ' I rail J J 1 B 0 B IJ 16 ^ FJLN K WHISKIT irt a The above is our shi ?d. u k?at and quickest shipping f ICO H3B HATKE'S VIRGINIA Mi U N3 PRIVATE STOCK CG , he g HOLLAND GIN-Best G ed fa APPLE BRANDY-Thls PEACH BRAN DY?

Another reason why it is generally believed that the Fitzgerald substitute was prearranged with Mr. Cannon Is that the speaker was quick to recognize Fitzgerald after the previous question on the Democratic resolution was voted down. Several wanted to lie recognized but the speaker somehow saw only Mr. Fitzgerald.
