After leaving her dead, about 4.r> minutes later killed himself with the same gun,? which- lie managed to dis charge by pressing ii forked stick a^aiuhi im; ulggTi ?m ^uu, i**? muzzle of which he held against his heart. j An inquest held this evening over both bodies by Magistrate John L. j Caskey, acting coroner, was to the effect that Mag.

' I Flowing" Well on His Place. * Striking water at a depth of about Seventy feet, Mr. L. O.

Mr. Clarence Pitts lias been boring there for some time Jin<L on Monday struck water, which at tlrst came out ajL^lie jate of four th later the flow decreased iff eight gallons per minute ami has remained at that since. It is excellent water and very cold. Mr. Futtderburk will have the -water run to his dwelling by means of a-j ram. While boring for this well aj piece of piping over forty feet in length got away from the workmen and went down, and it has remained a mystery to Mr. Funderburk as to where it went to. They have made repeated efforts with pipes* and drills to con nect onto it, hut so far have been un able to touch it Mr. Funderburk says that the only explanation ho can give of its disappearance is that probably the sand around the pipe gave away and it sahk: to such a depth that they could not reach it. , There are others, however, in that section, who l>elieve rthat the pipe has gone on down and is now around where the pig-eyed China- j lfcen are holding funeral obsequies over Yuan Shi Kai. So far as we can learn J this is the onl jf . fldwlng well in ?this county. It will pr<)ve a great con venience to Mr. Funderburk, and no doubt others will Attempt wells of this kind on their farms.

"II. M. S. Hampshire was on Her way t*?. Uussla." As soon as the news of Fai l Kitchen er's death was circulated In special edi tions of newspapers crowds started to wards Whitehall, hoping the 'first re jiorts. were exa gga rated. They found no comfort. Fvery blind of the big block which house** the war office was drawn and the ting at half mast. The crowds grew so rapidly that it was necessary to call Out police re serves. The news was received with even greater evidence of regret than was llie first report of last week's naval battle. ? - In Fleet street newspai>ers were al most torn from newsboys' hands by surging crowds* ami the liicr<s\ub?us wonder with which the first report was received chrtnjji'<noToi)Hternall<)ii when It became known that It was no rumor, but an -official report which left no doubt ^is to the misfortune which had' befallen the eonntry. The Orkney Islands, off which .tin* Hampshire went down are off the north coast of Scotland. The Hamp shire was on her way into the Atlan tic and around the northern end of the Scandium via n peninsula Into the White sea. Karl Kitchener probably intend ed to debark at Archangel. -The Hampshire was one of^ the 1 >e vonshire class of six cruisers.- She was built In 1!H>4 and normally car ried 055 men. She displaced 10, *50 tons, was 450 feet long, IMS 1-2 feet beam, and drew 25 1-ii feet. She was urmwl with four T.fi-inch, hIx O-Iucn. two 12-pounders and twenty 3-pound guns, and two torpedo tubes. She cost $4,260,000. The Hampshire has Ihhmi in use as a scout boat and for carrying officials on various missions, having ample ac comodations for the latter purpose. She was lob old io iuke a place on the lighting line. When the war started she was in the far lOast. and was re ported to have Ihhmi worsted In a light with Germans in the South China sea. She was one of the British squadron sent to this country for the Jamestown exposition in 11H)7. . ..

He was given the thanks of Parliament, rais ed to the peerage and granted 30.000 i M>u nds. He was tlilef In South Africa successively from 1800 to 3002, pro moted to Lieutenant General and re ceived the Viscounty.

They were mak ing the long trip In a single cylinder Cadillac ear of the 190G model, and Mr. Ohelrich says that the little out of date car attracted a great deal of attention all along Jthe way and auto ists passing him gave him the merry ha ! ha ! bnt hor, kept agoing. He left his home in Katoonah on May~3*th. and when he reaches his Florida des tination he will have traveled K80 f miles. The longest distance cover**!
