YOUNG FARMER SUICIDES.
! James Dixon Had Trouble with Hla
Wife and They Separated.
Waycross, CJa., July 1.?Jasper Dixon,
a prosperous young farmer residing
4 miles east of Blackshear, committed
suicide here by shooting himself
through the heart with a 32-calibcr
pistol.
Dixon was only 23 years old, an J
had been married six months. He
had slight trouble with his wife a
week ago, and yesterday they separated.
His wife went to the home of
her father, Jack Strickland.
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

last night. It was at first thought
the affair had some connection with
the race riot at I^ngley on Saturday

ever, that the killing occurred over a

Heat Intense in Macon.
Macon, July 1.?The thermometer
reached the top notch In Macon yesterday
at 4 o'clock. It went to 99 degrees.
The highest this summer,
previous to yesterday, was 97. The

Parade.
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.

guards was greeted with salvos ol
cheers, which increased in strength 1
as the spectators notloed that the or- y
deal of the past week had but little af- i
fected her majesty's health and noted y
the absence of any signs of anxiety as
she cherriiy acknowledged the con- ]
gratulatlons of the public at the uu- 1
interrupted progress of the king. <
The queen was seated In an open
carriage. 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.

with the recpients of. the Victoria 1
cross. Then followed the most pic- 1

troops, and faoing the Prince of Wales, 5
in clear tones gave the command: '

Washington. 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. Sen- .
itor Bailey cross?d the aisle and walkid
through the seats until he was U
acing Senator Rcveridge. I]
Bailey Soteks Beveridge.
"Beveridge," he said, "1 don't waifC
,o have any trouble with you, but 1
want you to withdraw those words
which charge me with making an unwarranted
attack upon PenfleM." t
"I didn't Intend to insult j*>u," re g<
?lied Senator Beveridge, "and there is
lothing in my language that you could
sonslder offensive." y*
"I don't allow any one to say that 1
libel a man, and that le what you do * .
n making the charge. 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.
Bacon as Peacmalmr. >A
Without further effort, Irowevdr, he
walked a way when Senator Bacon
urged him to be quiet and. led him to- i
ward the Democratic side. Senator Bacon
engaged Senator Ba lley In con- ?
reraatton for some time, : idvlslng hlra
to cool <"iown.
Senatoor Spooner also went acrose
the atrsle and discussed the i matter with
the Texas senator, urging him to ftpoluglfeo,
and if possible, fix ) It up at once,
burt Senator Bailey refu ted all such i
proffers, declaring that ; BenrUor BovBridge
had insulted him i ti lti>e senate |
and that he had taKen tb?t only * course
left, as the In<r,aw% repator \ lad refused
to wlthdm;# his remarket. I
Senator ftevortdge remained . in the

Due Store arftd Three Residences Are I
Destroyed. I
Jackson, Ga.? July 1.?One of the I
nost disastrous Ares in the history of m
his city visited here yesterday aften- I
noon.
The Are originated in the dwelling p
>f J. A. Pluaiket, in the eastern Dart of
town, and In a very few mlnntes tine
entire house was in flames. It Spread
rapidly and burned the store occupied
by N. R. MoCord and the residences of
ivacy Ma?VJox. El O. Qi 11 more and Rob*
ert Connor.
The citiaens responded promptly,
but owing to the dry weather aad the
absence of waterworks protection, they
could not do much but save the other
nearby residences. The storehouse J
of Dr. R. \y. Mays and the Southern
depot caught several times, but were
extinguished before much damage was
done.
Mr. Plunket had $1,000 Insurance
ort his residence, whfcch was about onethlKd
the value. His household artl- '
cles were not insured. The losa
amounted to between $6,000 and $7,000. j
