Dixon came to Blackshear, procured cartridges for his pistol, transacted, some business at the courthouse, then returned home. Neighbors who entered his house at 1 o'clock found hira dead. Life had probably been extinct for an hour before the body was found. Before shooting, Dixon carefully bared his breast and lay on a bed. Dixon was one of the best known young tanners in that county. He was a son of Matthew Dixon, also of Piori-o rnnnti Fatal Gambling Quarrel. Augusta, (la., Juno 1.?A.iother nogro was hilled near Hamburg, S. C., last night.

London, July 1.?The reappearance today of Queen Alexandra as a participant in a public ceremony practically marks the end of the period of anxiety caused by King Edward's condition. Her presence at the re-' view of the color, tal troops by the Prince of Wales greatly increased public enthusiasm over what in Itself was a picturesque and interesting event. Upwards of 2,500 colonia's were brought in from the various encampments and marched through great crowds down Constitution hill, which was lined with people, past Buckingham palace, which, for a week has been the center of such supreme Interest and along the Mall to the horso guards' parade. The contingent present represented all parts of the British empire, with the exception of India, whose troops wWl be separately reviewed tomorrow. The smallest detachment consisted of three natives of the island of 8c. Lucia, Borneo, Fiji, Ceylon, the West Indies generally, Cyrus, the Gold Coast, Nigeria, Ugandl and other rei mote colonies, were represented by native troops in clothing of striking variety, while straight from the fighting line in South Africa were details from the Canadian scouts, Kitchener's horse and contingents from a number of local levies raised during the war.

Beside her was the Prln- 1 cess of Wales, and seated opposite 1 were the Princess Victoria and Charles ' of Denmark. Several carriages, con- 2 taining the Duke of Cambridge, the 1 Duchess of Connaught and other's, followed. i The Prince of Wales was accompa- 1 nied by the crown prince of Denmark, 1 Prince Frederick, Prince Charles, ol ?

Then he drove in and out ot the lines, and after closely inspecting 1 the troops, dismounted and. conferred 1 medals and crosses upon those who ' had merited the honors, shaking hand! with the recpients of. the Victoria 1 cross. Then followed the most pic- 1 turesque feature ofi the day. The Duke 1 of Connaught, at the head of tlii troops, and faoing the Prince of Wales, 5 in clear tones gave the command: ' "The parade will give three cheer* 1 for the king and start the hip, hip!" ' I Canadian Shouts: "And a Tlgerl" | In a second the refrain was taken . up, and there arose cheers such as ( lvondon soldiers seldom near, thfl Bound of which must havo reached almost to the royal sick room, half a mile away.

The queen drove slowly past the trees to Buckingham ' palace, constantly bowing and smiling acknowledgments of the people's greet, ings; the Priuce of Wales and the other members of the royal family fol. : lowed, the colonials formed in col* ' umns, and amidst hearty cheers from the crowds, returned to thalr encamp* 1 m?nt> 4 1 ' -'C??. - ?" *?

July- 1.?The floor ol he senate chamber was the scene, hortly after adjournment yesterday, >f a sensational personal encounter jetweon Senator Bailey of Texas, and lenator Bevsrldge,of Indiana. Senator Sailey had his hands at Senator Bev? bridge's throat and was endeavoring o choke him when other senators tnd senate officials pulled the two nen apart. Senator Beveridge made 10 effort to defend himself. | Senator Bailey, exaapsrated at the J 'allure of the Indiana senator to re* raot what he considered a personal ~~ nsult, endeavored to get at him to g rlap his face, but was prevented by | Senators Spooner and McComas atad I tesletant Sergeant-at-Arms Layton. The epAsode was the result of a heat' >d controversy wtilch the two sen* r itors had during the afternoon, when v dr. Beveridge had said that Senator 3alley had made an 'unwarranted U ittack" on Solicitor Penfield, of tfcw I itate department. In executive session Senator Bev ridge, like other senators who smoke, ighted a cfcgnr amd took tf seat on the Republican side. He was still sitting here when the senate adjourned.

Now, if you won't withdraw the words when I ask u rou I am going to make you withdraw them." Senator Bailey had been getting m more and more angry and excited as ~ lie talked. He had been sitting jlown I part of the time, or leaning against tho * desk immediately In fnont of Senator Beveridge. The lather in reply to Senator Bailey's last remark, still remaining In his chatf, eald: "I repeat that I did not Intend to lusuit you, and that I. bpive nothing to fe{ract" U 11 Beverldge Is Choksd. A As these words were utterekl Sena* tar Bailey threw himself upon Sen* 1 ator Beverldge, who Is a man hardly I up to the average Jn pTiysique, and gelzed him by the throat with both lands. The rush was so sudflen and fl(srca that the ohalr in Which Mr. Bevwndgs " ^Tas sitting was pushed back agalnfct a desk and the desk was toppled over. Before the aaeaalt could go any further senators who had been Bitting near had moved tip between the desks. /Senator Hansbrough, of North Dalota, seized Senator Bailey by one arm and Senator Spooner seined the other, i The Texas senator is a powerful man, and it was with great difficulty that the two senators were able to draft him away from Senator Beverldge, and < when they succeeded a part of the Indiana senator's neckwear was ripiped and torn away in the vigorous grasp ' Df Senator Bailey. t Senator Bacon, of Georgia, and Bar i ney I^yton, assistant doorkeeper, came quickly forward and assisted in < pulling the Tejcas senator flurrthef I away, Senator r/alley meanwhile atrug- < gllng to get free and lungln/{ toward i Senator Bever'/dge. 1 As he was ijemoved a little distance *. he was heard to utter Rowietlrilnnr - Bounded like a threat about kMling.
