Ex-Minister ot Japan Talks. © Paris, July 28.—Marquis Ito, the ormer Prime Minister of Japan, has ed an authoritative statement de- ing that any irritation that may be felt in Japan against Americans B due, not to Hawaii, but to the fact that Japanese goods have been so ila taxed in the United States.

Lambdin allowed his shotgun to fall to the floor and drew his revolver. With his right hand he clang to Will Kivett’s pistol, and with his left he pumped bullets into the body | Morrow is still alive, though weak ofhis adversary from his double- action revelver. Kivett continued to discharge his pistol, but Lamb- din, with his burned, wounded and bleeding right hand, pushed “the muzzle aside at each discharge and continued shcoting Kivett with the left hand. In this way the men strugglod over the floor back and forward, until Lambdin succeeded in getting a bullet into Kivett’s brain, and the latter sank to the floor a corpse. It was ateriible duel, and there was a gruesome sight when ii was over. The blackboard bearing the provision, cotton, grain and stock quotations was scarred with bullets, the screened door was riddled with buckshot and the floor was drench- ed with blood. When the “Globe- Democrat” reporter entered the two brothers were spouting blood from many wounde, and Lambdia, pale but collected, was standing holding his wounded hand contemplating the fatal effect of the shots he had fired. The Kivetts bore him a grudge, and they were men of courage. A woman is mentioned in connec'ion with the difficulty. The trouble began during a Sam Jones revival in this city three years ago. The Kivetts were building contractors. Their surviving brother in Waco, W. R. Kivett, is a prominent real estate dealer. Lambdin is a West- ern Union telegraph operator. He is lieutenant of the local infantry com- pany, and is en exemplary young nan. Afier investigation by the coroner his bail was fixed at $200, merely to carry out formalities, as the theory of self-defense will not be contested by the state. It is too apparent to question. Lambdia’s wounds are trivial. White Men Must Rule. Birmingham, Ala, July 28.—The special term of court, called to try the three negroes, Lewis, Thompson and Walter Neville, charged with criminally assaulting Nellie Lawton, a 12 year old white girl, and Rosa Burford, alleged accessory to the crime, convened at Decatur, Judge J. J. Banks presiding. The crime} occurred five weeks ago, and mob violence was narrowly averted. Judge Banks told the jury that the county must be cleared of all semb'ance of delay in the admiais-| tration of justice. the evils of mob rule He then warned the negroes not to gather | around the jail. “Now, you negroes go homs and, stay there, or you will get iato trouble.

This is a most lamentable affair, as ali the parties concerned are of hizk standivg. Both families are large ani have fintermarried, which makes the affair all the more shock- ing. It is now said that old maa Morrow found the young people in a compromising position when he entered ths parlor. His act was without premeditation. Death His Third Bride. Milan, Mo, July 28—J. H. Ster- ling of this city reseived a telegram |@ to-day from Prosecuting Attorney Irwin from Manilla, Ia., where he had gone to arrest James Kerr, a formar resideat of this county, on a charge of bigamy, stating that he airested Kerr, and that when ar- rested he asked to go into an adjoin- ing room to change his clothing. The request was granted, acd when he entered the room he drew a pis- tol and shot himself dead. Kerr came here from Iowa, leav- ing a wife and family. He was afterward married to a daughter of Thomas Mairs, a prosperous and wealthy farmer of this county. He lived with ber until about six years ago, when he wysteriously disap- peared, leaviag his second wife and two children. He was not heard of until about a month ago, when ke was Iccated through the Presbyter- ian church, of which he was a mem- ber, living with his first wife at Manilla. The affair has caused a profound sensation here. Senator Mills’ Oil Lands. Corsicana, Tex., July 29.—Two more o1] wells were completed to-day and are developing a heavy flow of crude petroleum, aggregating for the two wells about 150 barrels per day. There are now thirteen flow- ing wells in the oil district, whose output approximate 600 barrels. and a dozen more wells are under con- tract. The oilis almost the same as the Pennsylvania product, end the success of the new wells indi- cates that the supply is permanent. The wells, with two exceptions, are inside the corporate limite, and two large companies are engaged in developing the fields. one having 50,000 and the other about 30,000 acres of land under lease for the purpose. Senator R. Q. Mills owns 1,000 acres in what is pronounced to be the richest portion of the oil ter- ritory fame Must Live.
