Killed by Lightning Bolt. Saluda, Aug. 22.?During a rain storm late yesterday afternoon which was accompanied by much lightning, Mr. S. H.

Soon after entering the building a bolt of lightning came tearing through the roof and striking Mr. Quarles, produced instant death. His son, although within a few feet of the father, was not hurt. EVADED THE CUSTOMSLAW WOMEN ATTEMPT TO IMPORT GOODS WITHOUT DUTY. Mrs. Jack Gardner Implicated?Government Officials to Push the Case. Chicago, August 20.?The United States authorities in Chicago, Boston, and Washington for the last eight weeks have been investigating the most remarkable attempt to "beat" the customs laws ever brought to their attention. The audacity of the scheme and the standing of the participants break all records. Mrs. Emily Rockwell Crane Chadbourne, who is now living on the North Shore, a daughter of Richard T Crane, president of the Crane Manufacturing Co., and Mrs. "Jack" Gardner, of Boston, are the unlucky persons involved. Mrs. Chadbourne brought into this country as her household goods under a false declaration, nearly $100,000 worth of articles belonging to Mrs. Gardner, on which she placed a valuation of $8,000. The result to date has been: First, the goods have been seized by United States Collector Ames, and are now confiscated by the government. , Second, an agent acting for Mrs. Chadbourne or Mrs. Gardner paid the government $70,000 in fines and penalties and Mrs. Gardner will have to pay $80,000 additional if she wishes to secure possession of the property. Third, the case in all probability will be placed in the hands of the prosecuting authorities and it is not 1,1 1? mAman nrill O VD UIlliKtily iuai uuiu nuuitu mu uu.v. to face indictments at the hands of the next federal grand jury that meets in Chicago. There are few persons in this country who read the newspapers who haven't heard at one time or another of Mrs. "Jack" Gardner, the eccentric Boston widow, and her famous Venetian palace, brought to this country, stone by stone, pilaster by pilaster, 3,000 miles from Italy. This palace, erected at great cost in Back Bay Fens and known as Fenway Court, is filled with rare paintings and statuary and other works of art that Mrs. Gardner coir lected in various parts of Europe, but chiefly in Italy. For years Mrs. Gardner has tried to evade the payment of duties on the art treasures that she has brought to this country on the plea that her home was a public museum, ! works of art for exhibition purposes being free. During Leslie M. Shaw's administration as secretary of the treasury, he proceeded against the $200,000. Mrs. Gardner had deposited and started proceedings to have it forfeited on the advice of Attorney General Knox, that the museum was not beine used as a public exhibi tion. Mr. Shaw then gave Mrs. Gardner the choice of throwing open her house to enable the public to view the art treasures without restrictions that were unreasonable or paying $200,000 duty, and she chose the latter alternative.

Portland, Ore., Aug. 19.?Alton B. Parker, who with Deiancy Nicholl, of New York, arrived here to open the Democratic campaign in Oregon today, is on record as prophesying a campaign of surprises. Mr. Parker said: mill ho monv etTOTlffP 1UC1U n Hi UV m. V4? U J velopments in the campaign before the fall. I do not wish to comment on them or to say what they will be. I will only say that there will be such developments that the men who speculate in stocks, basing their buying and selling on the outcome of the presidential election, will have to hedge more than once. "It will be an interesting campaign and filled with surprises. Any man who sits down and makes out a table of how the various states will go, will find when the returns are in that he has made many mistakes in his calculations." Fireman's Xeck Dislocated. Anderson, Aug. 19.?A peculiar accident happened near here on Sunday when Mr. William G. Thomas, afireman on the Blue Ridge road, dislocated his neck while in swimming in Rocky river. Mr. Thomas weighs about 200 pounds, and he plunged in the river. His head struck the bottom of the river, and his neck became dislocated. His left side is paralyzed. The attending physicians do not give much hope for recovery. He is a native of Walhalla, and was considered the best man physically in the employ of the Blue Ridge road. He is married and has several children. Mr. Thomas is 34 years of age. v y . SPECIAL NOTICES.!
