The Alleged Suicide in Spartan
burg. — Another Registration
Content.
8PABTASBUBO, 8. C, Aug. •.—The
mystery of the murder of J. O.Caraon ia
to be cleared away, and a young man
by the name of Oreen, and Mrs. Carson
may be apprehended, as warrants hare
been issued for their arrest.
The killing ia one of the blackest
that has ever occurred in this county
and the direct cause which led to the
deed is far more black than the crime.
It is rumored that Mrs. Carton and
Oreen hare been on intimate terms for
some time and that Oreen became jeal
ous of her husband and killed him to
get him out of his way. It it said that
the suicide theory is all a myth and
that It was arranged to shield the
murderers.
Latib: A special to The State says
that J. H. Pain, a white man, has con
fessed that Mrs. Carson and Edward
Oreen, her paramour, did the killing.
Oreen promised Pain S100 not to inform
on him. Pain, Mrs. Carson and Green
have been arrested and lodged in the
Spartanburg jail. It was with difficul
ty that the officers prevented an infu
riated mob from lynching the prisoners
on the way to jail.

FLOOR BROKE IN
Washinoton, Aug. 7.—The Southern
Pacific Railway will commencing Oct.
I, run a semi-weekly “sunset limited"
between New Orleans and San Fran
cisco, connecting with Southern Rail
way trains between New York and
New Orleans. But one fast train a
week known as the “Sunset limited" Is
now being run between New Orleans
and the Pacific coast. Officials of tha
two systems are satisfied that the In
creased business between the Pacific
slope and the east will justify tha ad
ditional train and they also express the
belief that during the holding of the
Exposition at Atlanta, the passenger
traffic between Mexico and Texas will
be largely augmented. Under the new
arrangement, passengers leaving New
York on Tuesday and Saturday even
ings of each week will make a close
connection at New Orleans on Thurs
day and Monday morning* for San
Francisco. Under the present schedule
the travel between New York and Lo*
Angelea over the Southern and by the
“sunset limited” is seventeen hours
shorter than by the northerly routes
When the additional “limited" la es
tablished the time will be shortened
three hours.
The Southern Railway managers
have decided in view of the increasing
business over ther road from the Pacific
coast, that they will appoint a Califor
nia agent with headquarters at San
Francisco, on September 1. Heretofore
the road has had no direct representa
tive on the coast.
