Macon, Ga., Oct. 19.-Eugene Ely, the world-famous aviator, was killed at the State Ealr grounds this after noon shortly after 3 o'clock when his machine refused to rise from a sen sational dip. and plunged with him fifty feet to the ground. Ho foll, in thc presence of nearly 8.000 people, to the middle of the enclosure of the mlle track, almost clearing tho ma chine hy a desperate leap that he made when ho realized his peril. Ills body was brokon in a score of places and ho died eleven minutes after the fatal fall, regaining consciousness just before the end, long enough to mutter: "I lost control-I know I am going to die." Ely made a remarkable flight this morning shortly before noon, ascend ing the atmospheric heights to an al titude of 3,100 feet. At 2.45 o'clock ho began bis second flight of the day, rising gracefully from the track en closure, which he circled In a few minutes, traveling at about fifty miles an hour. As he was completing the circle he made one of bis famous dips, seemingly to startle the thou sands beneath him who were watch ing with straining eyes. The bird-like machine shot down with tremendous velocity, the crowd applauded, thinking that the aviator would rise, as he bad done countless times before, in the manner of a hird. Hut Ely seined to lose his grip on the lever, and ho attempted to rise from his slight seat. In fact, he re leased the lever altogether and half jumped, barely clearing the aero plano as It crashed to the ground, lt was demolished, bits of wood and metal (lying hundreds of feet, so great was the impact, while Ely struck with terrific force. Scores rushed across the track to where he lay, a broken, bloody, inert mass, to offer bim aid, little think ing that be had received such Inju ries as would soon cause his death. He was tenderly removed from be neath the wreckage, which covered bim and strewed the ground, and carried to the shade of his hangar. Runners searched the grounds for physicians, while others telephoned for ambulances. Ely's Wife in New York.

L. Klee, before the adjourn ment of the recent term of tho Court of General Sessions at which Hyde was tried and convicted of the crime. The order of Judge Prince ls dated September 23d, and reads as fol lows: "lt appearing unto the court that the defendant was convicted of mur der and sentenced to be hanged on October 20, 1911 ; and, it further ap pearing that the defendant, by IIIB counsel, has duly served the solici tor with notice of his intention to appeal; it ls ordered. That the exe cution heretofore ordered, be, and Is hereby stayed, pending the outcome of said appeal." Petitions were circulated a short time ago In the Hyde case, asking Governor Please to commute the death sentence lo lifo imprisonment, it being agreed that if this was done the appeal to the Supreme Court, would he abandoned. The Governor, however, refused to interfere with the sentence, and the appeal will now he carried on hy Mr. Rice in the hope that a new trial may be allowed and his client dealt with less severely. The stay of execution and the ap peal to the Supreme Court means that the Hyde case will not be dis posed of until some time next sum mer. Cases from this circuit are not taken up by the Supreme Court un til spring, and this will, in all prob ability, mean that the case will come to thc attention of the May term of the Court of General Sessions either for a new trial or for re-sen tence for the prisoner. After a conference with Hyde, at his request, at the county jail a short Hem ago, Mr. Rice announced his intention to prosecute the appeal.

Wilsworth, Kans., Oct. 18.-That . aries Marzyek, ex-convict, sought tho cOttnty authorities in connee Q with the murder of the Ave . i embers of the Wm. Snowman fam ily here Sunday night, has been in Colorado Springs, where the six members of the Wayne and Burn ham families were slain and was ac quainted in Monmouth, ill., where three persons were murdered recent ly, was the startling statement made to the authorities to-day by Mrs. Minnie Vopat, Marzyek's divorced wife. All these 14 victims were kill ed with an axe. Samuel Showman, brother of Wm. Showman, head of the murdered family, to-day started at the head of a posse to search the county. Marz yek ls believed to be bidden in the neighborhood. If he ls found n bat tle is expected. Marzyek not long ago served a term for stealing grain from James Vopat. Last night Vopat, who Is the husband of Marzyek's former wife, saw the ex-convict in a held near his house. Vopat and his family, ter ror-stricken, locked their house and lied to the home of a Slav fellow countryman, live tuiles distant. All the members ol' the Slav com munity who had any connection with the conviction ot Marzyek went arm ed to-day, tor he is reported to have sworn vengeance on those responsi ble for his imprisonment, Ira Lloyd, the attorney who de fended Marzyek in tile wheat steal ing case, said to-day: "1 believe Marzyek will remain in the neighborhood until he completes his vengeance. After his sentence he told me that when he was releas ed he \.ould come back and kill the people who were responsible for his conviction, and also their children. 'I will put them all in hell,' he said." Evidence furnished at the trial by Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Showman, who were murdered Sunday night, is said to have been largely responsible for Marzyek's conviction. Nine persons remain here who fear his vengeance. These are all of the Slav's own race.

Long ago Senator Tillman said that all politicians would sooner or later meet their Waterloo. lt was true of Hampton In 1890. lt will be true of Tillman In 19 12. No man w;is ever more honored than was Hampton. In 187(5 he had the sup port of all South Carolina, so to speak. In 1890 Tillman had the vote of South Carolina in ms vest pocket. Tillman, like Hampton, has bad his day. The vote which Hamp ton received, as against the reform party in 1 890. was pitiful. Ho had fallen from his high estate. After twenty years of honorable and dis tinguished service in the Senate the people will treat Tillman In 1912 as they treated Hampton in 1890. Not in this generation has South Carolina had an abler Senator than Tillman. But his day has passed. Ile hits twice been paralyzed, and he is now at least a physical wreck. Ile has had all the honors that can be conferred upon him. ile has noth ing more to gain. He is well off in this world's goods. His terni of of fice does not expire until March I, 191 H. Even if lie lives until that time he is incapacitated for further useful service. In circumstances like these it would seem lo lie well for some of Iiis friends to advise willi him and suggest Hie prop ri ty of acting now like the great man he was, hy grace fully wit lidia wing from the race. Let him not walt to he thrown oui, as was Hampton. While we do not know certainly how any man will vote, yet we are confident that the great change of son tl men I and con dition will lie a disappoint mont to Tillman. If the people should treat him as they treated Hampton he will be mortified until tho day of his death. Even If ho were re-elected he will gain nothing. He already has all the honors thal, could come to any man in South Carolina. Take Your Common Colds Seriously.
