Tho end was peaceful, thc aged mon arch passing away as though sinking into sloop. Among those in tin; doatli chamber at Schoenbrunn castle was tho. heir apparent, Archduke Ch niles Francis Joseph. Shortly after midday lhere was MI: appreciable rise in tho Emperor's temperature. Although ho had hoon about ?:. )>. to attend to state duties and had eaton a light meal, it was evident after L' o'clock that a crisis was approaching. About 6 o'clock j in tho evening the attending physi cians were almost ready to abandon hope, tho patient lapsing slowly i into unconsciousness.

Comments in the newspaper voiced regret that the Emperor had not boen spared long enough to soe tho end <?:' the war. which according to tho view hore, nobody regretted moro than ho, as he never tired of. assuring his intimates.

With Kmperor Francis Joseph, oassod tho world's oldest monarch, a ! man whose life was ono continuous tragedy which was to ond in the greatest tragedy of all time-tho present war. Francis Joseph was really beloved by hi.s people, who comprised half a score of races. They found in him. tho cornent which hold together the state structure ol' A ust ria-H u uga ry. To tho very last tho Emperor, who had no conception of tho value of money, spent prodigious sums in charity, never overlooking any of ! tho many old men and women who ? used to como to Schoenbrunn Hark to receive alms. Tho Emperor had a prodigious ca pacity for work, rising generally at t o'clock In the morning and taking 1 up various reports. During tho pro gress of tho war he took th? keenest \ interest in tho fortunes of Iiis own and allied armlos with never tiling /eal.

The nged monarch, although he had suffered serious Inroads upon ft is hear h lor many years pas?. was strong enough to keep a firm grip on an lirs of state almost to the last. There vere repeated reports of a se rious illness from a bronchial affec tion, and frequently rumors of his death, which wen- proven unfound ed, when official announcements were made noni Vienna. Some of the r-ports ass? ried that his mind had heroine affected through worry over the great war. 'un the truth of these rumors was not admitted. I ii November 10 15, on the occa sion of a visit of Emperor William of (Jenna ii y to Vienna, it was rumor ed that Francis Joseph was about to make a possible move for separate peace, but owing t>> the strict cen sorship in Austria there was no con firmation Of such a report. Precipitated War. The ultimatum of .Inly 2:{. 1914, which Francis Joseph sent to King Peter of Serbia, denouncing the anti Austrian propaganda in that country and demanding prompt punishment of the assassins of Archduke Ferdinand, was supposedly dictated by Francis Joseph himself, and it was this docu ment that directly precipitated the war now raging in Europe. Five days later, after Serbia had complied with all the demands with the exception of agreeing to allow Austrian au thorities to enter Serbia to stamp out the alleged anti-Austrian con spiracies. Francis Joseph declared war. In his manifesto of that date. July 28th. he said: "The intrigues of a malevolent op ponent compel nie. in defense of tho honor of my monarchy and for the protection of its dignity and the se curity of its possessions, to gras]) thc sword after long years of peace. "The hope that Serbia would keep ts word has not been fulfilled; the (lame of its hatred for myself and my house has always blazed higher. "In this solem!) hour 1 am fully conscious of the whole significance of my resolve and my responsibility before tho Almighty, I have exam ined and weighed everything, and with serene conscience set out on thc path that duly points." Saw Many National Crises. Asid.- from the meat war Francis Joseph's reign was one of the most ev ent nil in history. From his impe rial vantage point he saw the French monarchy no down, the Second Em pire rise and crumble, the Commune flare briefly, and thc republic of to day rise on its ashes: he saw th? black pinions of the Prussian eagle stamped on t i : ? . Hag of the new tier man Empire later to tower threat eningly over Austria itself: he saw tile papacy shorn of its territoria demesne, while a great blckcrinf family of pett> principalities was welded into united Italy: he saw Spain, once the greatest of colonia powers, lose tho last of her depend ernies in two oceans; ho saw .lupar opened to Western civilization, and later defeat the sprawling Colossi!; of two continents; he saw the mosi absolute despotisms' Russia.

Then followed the burning to death of a niece in Vienna; a sister met similar fate In Paris; and a cousin drowned himself in Stahrenberg Lake. Yet these were hut minor tragedies in comparison with that which befell the ancient house of the Hapsburg* in 18S0, when Rudolf, i the imperial priuce upon whom the ' Austrians planted their hopes, met death in a mystery which to this dav is not cleared. ! Craves hold the recret of that fate ! ful night at a hunting lodge in Me.v erling. There have been a dozen versions of what occurred. Cue "true story" relates that the Crown Prince was struck dead by Halta/./i, a Hungarian chevalier who loved the Baroness Marie Votsora and who was frenzied by duding tho girl and ! Prince Rudolf together in the castle j of Meyerling after the Crown Prince I had given 1rs pledge not to see the girl again. Another that the Crown Prince killed the uncle of the young i Paroness when he came to rescue her. and that both of the young lov ers afterward committed silicide. The truth is not known. Clouded in still deeper mystery, if possible, was the disappearance that same year of Francis Joseph's fav orite nephew, the Archduke Johann Salvator. Heir to the throne at the death of Rudolf, he renounced his imperial dignities and lied the coun try as John Orth, captain of a mer chant ship, never lo he heard ot' again. The next of kin, tho Arch duke Francis Ferdinand, who be came heir presumpth \ added a fur ther burden to his uncle's heart by morganatic marriage to Sophie, thc I countess of Cho'.ek. lt was ho and his wife who were assassinated at Sarajevo in June, 101 t. Empress Stal>l>o<l. But it is doubtful if any or all o: j these reverses weighed more heavily I upon the Emperor's heart than thc ' tragedy at Geneva, when the Em press Elizabeth, who had been called : the most beautiful woman in Europe was stabbed to death by a mad Ital ian anarchist, in 1898. True, she long had boen estranged from th? Emperor, but he had never ceased tc . resjK?ct and adore her. When a cou j rier brought him the news of th< crime he exclaimed: "Alas, not.hinf 'can be spare? me-nothing!" j After each blow he renewed his de ' votion to tho state, his only solaci ho'ng in harder work. He laboree prodigiously. He was beloved to his kindliness, his modesty and rec '.Rude, and his high moral courag< made it possible for him to hold ii loash the Czechs, tho Polos. th< Serbs, the RuthoHans and the Pul gars, who made up the mosaic of na t'.ci alities in hJa dual empire.

In addition to her beauty Elizabet was highly endowed with talents, bu she found no welcome at court.

I The estrangement widened. Th \ Emperor was fond of pretty womel and Vienna did not lack them.

Spec i latlon as to her relations with tl Emperor was wide and malicious. < course it found its way to the Bli press, and there followed an itu dent which testifies to her uncomnu delicacy and courage, Nettled by the continual humiJI Hon of such distasteful scandal-mo gering, she devised a way io end it. One day ?he took her youngest daughter by the hand, and, to the immeasurable astonishment of her guests, set out to pay u long call on Frau Schratt at her country place in Ischl, where all the world knew the Emperor spent hours daily. That ended it effectually. It was impos sible to gossip before the Empress about a condition which she herself had socially legalized by ber pres ence. j Whatever the truth about Katha rina Schratt and the Emperor, she had the good sense never to attempt to influence him politically. Those of her predecessors who had dared more boldly paid the penalty of sudden j and noiseless removal from his sur ! roundings. When upon the assassin - I ation of the Empress, the court went into mourning. Frau Schratt was seen but little. Shortly, the old in timacy was openly resumed, but it was impossible to continue malig nant about a friendship that length j ened into old age, and the sting of , criticism gradually died out. At ! Shonbrunn Castle, Frau Schratt ap I peared nearly every afternoon to keep the Emperor company for an hour or two. In turn, he delighted to call on her at her town house as a private gentleman, where he could ! meet a few friends of his own choos j ing, and not guests imposed on him by etiquette or reasons of state. > Frau Schratt had her own town ! house and her country house. to I gether with a goodly allowance, but . it never was objected that the Empe ror was lavish with her and she had j the discretion not to make her Osten? . talion a national scandal.

Absoluto No Alum-N ??????GMBanBaMani HOKKIHLK CK I.M10 IN DILLON. , Negroes Kill Prominent ('itiy.cn, At tacking Wife Also. Dillon. Nov. 22.- After being trail ed by bloodhounds from the scene of I the crime to the bed room of his home, Archie Campbell, a negro, sus pected of being implicated in the murder of Mr. Ha nelson, a white man. and the aitaek on Mrs. Har relson. was placed under arrest to day and lodged in the county jail heic. Posses are scouring the coun try for John Johnson and another negro suspected of being accessories to the crime. Feeling here is intente and a lynching ls feared. Mr. Harrclson, one of the mos' prominent and highly respected citi zens of the Pleasant Hill section, was foully murdered at an early hour on Tuesday evening. The death blow was indicted with a plow point and Mr. Harrclson died within an hour without regaining consciousness. Af- j ter committing the crime the mur derer, or an accomplice, went into the house and attacked Mrs. Harrel son with a club, Inflicting severe wounds on her arms and back. lt was about 7 o'clock Tuesday night, while Mr. and Mrs. Harrelson j were at supper, when a negro came to the house and said he wanted to buy some groceries. Mr. Harrclson told the negro he would go to the commissary with him as soon as he finished his supper. Finishing the evening meal Mr. Harrelson went out of the house, and that was the last time he was seen alive. Ileaten With Club. It was about ten minutes after Mr. Harrelson had left the house, when Mrs. Harrelson heard some one come in the front door. She thought lt was Mr. Harrelson and paid no at tention to the matter. Her back was turned toward the door, and when she faced around she was confronted with a huge negro, whom she said was John Johnson. Before she could utter a word the negro told her that If she screamed he would kill her. At this moment he began striking her with a heavy club, and she threw up her arm to ward off the blows. Fight ing her way backwards from th?; brute she continued to ward off the ? blows with her arm, which was beaten almost to a pulp, Complete- ; ly exhausted she fell to the door. The negro, thinking she was dead, fled from the house through the re i door. Screamed for Help. Mrs. Harrelson upon recovering herself screamed for help, and when Mr. Harrclson did not come to her rescue she rang the farm bell. Neighbors rushing to the house in response to her screams found the body of Mr. Harrelson in front of tho commissary, weltering in a stream of blood. Mr. Harrelson's body was lying directly in front of the commissary, dose up to the steps. A bruise over the right eye and a few strands of hair clinging io the bottom step, showed that in fall ing his bead had hit tho step. His store keys were under his body, in dicating that he was about to enter or leave the commissary when the fatal blow was struck. Late Tuesday afternoon two plow points wore on the commissary plat form, and as one of those plow points was found to be missing shortly after the tragedy the theory is that the murderer used ono of them in inflict ing the death blow, and then threw it away. Motive Probably Kobbory. Circumstances surrounding the tragedy seem to indicate the motive was robbery, although it is said Mr. Harrelson bad some trouble with a negro. Arch Campbell, who has been arrested and ls now in Dillon county jail. One of the hip pockets had been ripped open and a purse which Mr. Harrelson was known to have had was missing. Mrs. Harrelson is pos itive that the negro who attacked her was John Johnson, who had boen liv ing in tho community for a number of years and bears a bad reputation. Bloodhounds on Trail. When the bloodhounds arrived this morning they took up tho trail of the negro who was supposed to have at tacked Mrs. Harrelson. The dogs j followed the trail through the cotton field and down the public road to C. house of Arch Campbell, whore they J wont to the bed where Campbell had slept. The negro wa* arrested hy the sheriff. A shirt and overalls found in the room showed faint signs of blood. Tho dog-- were brought to tho Dillon county jail, where tiley stopped at Campbell's cell. The the ory is that one ot the negroes killed Mr. Harrolson while the other went, to the house and attacked Mrs. Har relson. The negroes might have met in th? back yard after ' committing the crimes and there parted company. The dogs were carried back and put on the trail of Johnson and at Ind reports were pressing his trail close ly. The negro Campbell was spirited away by officers this afternoon, due to the intense feeling and as a mat er of precaution.
