A dispatch from Tallulah Falls. Ga., says: Swinging to a cross boam of "the ninety-four-feet trestle be tween here.and The Lodge ot escape a train which was bearing down upoh her, Miss Rossie Bradley, of Hagan, Ga., lost her hold and was dashed against the rocks below, Fri day. She was picked up by the engineer of the train, who witnessed the ac cident, and carried abroad his train, where it was found that she was seri- . ously, though perhaps not fatally 1 hurt. The strength of the young woman gave out almost as hands were reach ing to save her, as the engineer had seen youngi ladies on the trestle and 1 stopped his train before it reached them. 1 Two other girls, a sister and con- ? sin of Miss Bi-adly. ran from the trestle when they heard the train approach and they supposed that she had followed. When they turned and saw that their companion had ' remained on the trestle and sought ? to escape from swinging from it with I her hands -they became terrified and ' stood on the tracks. j Captain Jones, engineer of the Tal- ; lulah Falls railway, brought i. his train to a standstill, and leaping from " his engine ran towards the girl who J had suspended from the big bridge. 1 He had . almost reached her side 1 when with a scream she dropped to \ the gorge below. It was the work ' of a few moments to run beck across 1 the trestle and run down the path- I way on its side. He found the < young woman bruised and bleeding < and in an unconscious condition. 1 Passengers and the train crew who had followed the engineer assisted I him in carrying the young woman to t the train, which proceeded to the i falls, and the injured girl was sent 1 to the Smith house. * i FIVE PERISH IX CHICAGO FIRE.

Five are knotfn to be dead and ' more'-than a score of persons injur ed, several of them seriously, ss the result of an explosion followed by * fire in a five-story building, the up- I per floors of wheih were used as a hoarding house, at 141 Huron street, ' Chicago. Thursday. ? The explosion occurred in the pmnt of the Pabst Chemical Campany on the gruond floor. The dead are: Mrs. Nolan, jani tress of the buiidmg, and three of ' her daughters. Jennie, Emma and Helen: They had seemingly been hemmed in by the flames and suf- 1 located before help reached them. Th-* fifth is an unidetnified man, ! whose body was recovered fro mthe basement. The explosiou wrecked the front of the building and the fire spread rapidly owing to the inflammable na- | ture of the chemicals stored in the basement. The employees of the Pabst Chemical Company escaped, though several were injured by fly ing glass and debries. They were "nearly all girls, ihe building was almost a total wreck. * BURGLAR HAD A HARD TIME. Tie Sweltered Under a lied While His Victims Chatted. In order to rob H. E. Beagle and Louis Schaefer. a burglar t ittered a house in Seattle. Wash., early one afternoon and crawled under the bed. After cramping himself for about ten hours the men came to bed at. midnight. "Their first act was to move the bed ten feet across the room and the robber had to roll with it. Then the men began to chat and kept this up for three hours while the would-be robber was nearly smo thering from the heat and was sore from his hard resting place. Finally in desperation he crawled from the under position and demand ed gold and a $2.">0 diamond which he knew belonged to Beagle. He got a watch and chain worth $25, but that was all. The man made his escape. * GOVERNOR GRANTS PARDOX. Sentence Against Lexington Man \ Suspended. \ Governor Ansel granted a condi tional pardon to M. L. Fox, convict ed in Lexington County Court of gambline. and given a sentence of ?60 days' or $7f> flue. The petition was based on the fact that Fox was needed at home by hiswlfe and fam ily, and was signed by Solicitor Tim merman and many prominent citi zens of New Brookland, where Fox lives. The Governor granted the par don on condition that if Fox is ever convicted he will serve this Lenten TILLMAN ABROAD. HE IS RAPIDLY IMPROVING IX HEALTH. Senior Senator Writes for His Cou stitntes an Account of His Travels in Spain and Morocco. Senator Tili man Is well and.enjoy ing very much his trip abroad. Col. August Kohn has received the follow ing correspondence, which speaks for Itself: "Gibraltar, June S, 1908. "My Dear Kohn: I forwarded aerewith an account dictated by Senator Tillman or .his trip since we landed. It practically amounts to a diary. I will add that the* senator seems to me to be improving in health in every way; appetite good, sleep excellent and in fine spirits. Mrs. Tillman, too, is standing the hard work of travel very well. "I have had no personal letters since I left Boston, and don't expect to get any till I reach Rome, in about two weeks. "We met this morning on the streets Melton and Earle, who have fust returned from a trip similar to )urs. Both are weih "Sincerely, "J. W. Babcock." Senator Tillman's account of his ;rip follows:'. "The two weeks which have elaps id since our landing at Gibraltar lave been spent in rather strenuous .'ashion. The long rest on the boat lad brought such improvement that ;he morning' after we recahed Gib raltar and found a good steamer ibouLto start for Tangier, 40 miles southward on-the West African coast n Moroco, we yielded to the sugges ;ion of two Columbia friends, Messrs. Melton arid Earle, who had ust come in on the German Lloyd steamer, and put off for Tangier vithout seeing Gibraltar at all, ?eaching ! It. -about 4 p. m. After ?esting'at the hotel a saunter of an lour and a half through the narrow, ilthy streets, from seven to 12 feet vide and all crooked, gave us all he idea of Mohammedan and Moor sh life and civili^ationvthat we want fd, and there was no difference of ipinion about returning to Gibraltar text day. "After taking a view of Gibral Sr, through which we drove with he American counsel, Mr. Richard >prague. and whose courtesy was mich appreciated, we crossed over 0 Algeciras. Spain, on the opposite iide of the bay. where we spent two lights and a day resting and enjoy ?g the magnificent view of the fam >us Rock of Gibraltar, and the most gorgeous display of flowers that it las ever been our good fortune to :ee, hedges of geraniums five feet ligh white daisy bushes of even larg >r size, with other flowers too numev >us to mention. These are in the jarden or park surrounding the well Snglish hotel, the Reina Christina,, ind though it was the 1st of June ve had to sleep under blankerts, vhich has been necessary throagh >ut our trip in Southern Spain. Fri lay we went to Ronda, an old Moor sh fortress, in the midst of the nountains. with a most magnificent riew. Part of the journey upwards vas through the cork-woods. Most )f the way the fields are filled with' >live trees, wheat and barley occupyi ng occasional stretches. The wheat n most instances was very good, some of it exceedingly fine. After 1 night at Ronda and a walk through ;he old Moorish town to the cathe Iral we started for Granada Suuday uorning, and although the Spaniards ire perhaps the most devout people n Europe, there was no evidence :hat the people remembered the Jommandment, as they were at work everywhere in the fields. "We spent two whole days in ."Jranada and thou left for Seville, aking nearly all day for the jour-, ley, though the distance is less than 200 miles. 1 will not attempt any iescriptions. but will only say that we were not disappointed in the Al lanibra, though our expectations had >een raised very high by what we iad read, and in Seville tl.ere was i repetition of this experience. The .?athedral, with its numerous master pieces of painting, and the Moorish )lace must be seen to be appreciat id and then seen again and again, while the little chapel in La Caridad hospital will undoubtedly linger a joy forever in our memories. Here ive found the only evidences in Spain )f prosperity and modern city life, und undoubtedly, for we all agreeed in this point, our Columbia friends joining in the verdict, that the Sevill ian women as a whole are the hand somest we have ever seen or expect :o see. "Friday evening we went to Cor lova, famous for its Roman bridge milt by Augustus Caesar and for Lhe Moorish Mosque, considered by jxp.rts as the most wonderful archi tectural triumph of the Moors, who conquered Spain in the 8th century. The Spaniards marred in many ways the dignity and strength of this won derful building, but again I must not undertake descriptions. "We got back to Gibraltar last night. June 7. well fagged out and realized for the first time that it is just a month since we left Trenton, without having any news from home or seen an American newspaper. I have stood the strain much better than I would have thought possible and attribute it to an entire change of view, and the absence of anything to excite, and the admirable sleeping that the conditions have brought OBAKGEB ?-; ?_I_1 THE SOUTH CAROLINA GOVERNOR ANSEL TO ATTEND CEREMONF. OP LAUNCHING. Constructed on the Latest Designs For War Vessels and Has No Supe rior in the American Navy. A special dispatch from Columbia to The News - and Courier says: When the next battleship of Uncle Sam's navy is launched 1 it will be christened "South Carolina" by Miss Fiederica Ansel, daughter of the governor of this state. The launch ing of' fhe'ship will take place on the 11th of July at the Cramps* ship yard, Philadelphia. Governor Ansel has sent out let ters to his staff askin gthem to ac company him to the launching, and he' stated recently that his daughter .would christen the ship. The cere monies are in charge of the builders of the ship, who have requested Gov. Ansel to bring his part yand parti cipate in the launching, the ceremon ies of, which are simple. After the launching the party will be entertained at luncheon by the contractors, when two or three short speecnes. are to be made. The United States battleship South Carolina is one of the battleships au thorized by congress 7 in the naval appropriation act of March, 31, ,19OB, her sister ship being the Mich igan, which was launched a few weeks ago at the New York Ship Building company's dock. The South Carolina is being built by the Cramp Steamship i-ompany, of Phila delphia. The contract for her con struction *was signed on July 21, 1906. Her keel was lai'd December 18. and she will be finally complet ed and turned ove?* to the United Isntes bovi rnment on December 21, 1909. The contract price,- exclusive of armor and armament, was $3 , 540,000. She will have cost the gov ernment when completed about $7; 000,000. The South Carolina will have a displacement of 1?.000 tons; a speed of 18.5 knots; coal supply. 2,220 tons; armor belt, 12 inches: case men side armor, 10 to 8 inches: barbettes and turrets, 10 'to 12 inches. Armament, eight 4.r)-calibre 12-inch guns, twenty-two 3-inch guns. Torpedo tubes, two submerg ed 21-inch. Her length between perpen Mcn.ars. 450 feet; brudtu oi load water line, 80 feet; mean draft, 24 feet 6 inches: full load displace ment, 17.600 tons; horse power, 17, ??0. Her total complement, includ ing officers and crew, will be about 900 men. ihe battleship South Carolina is of particular interest, becatfse she is one of the first of our battleships dc.-igned after the conclusion of the Russo-Japanese war, and her design ers have embodied in her construc tion the experience gathered during the naval oncrations of that conflict. The South Carolina and her sister ship, the Michigan, will be the two finest ships in the United States navy, until the Delaware, now in course of construction, is launched and put irto commission. LOCOMOTIVE EXPLODES. Engine Drawing Work Train Blows Up With Fatal Results. At New -Brunswick. N. J., three men were killed by the explosion of a locomotive on the Pennsylvania railroad at Steelton. two miles from there. Friday afternoon. The loco motive was drawing a work train. about.

Wife of Merchant Discovers Note In tended for His Clerk. An incident containingmany varie ties of emotion occurred at Rock Hill Thursday/" Happily all ended well. Seerai physicians were called to the Bedside of a lady living in the western suburbs who was in dire condition, weak from hysterical emo tion because her husband had left town without saying anything to her about it. ' Nor did he return during the night and by morning the good lady was prostrated. Thereby hangs a tale, pie good wife knowing this had. seemingly good reasons for the collapse. It seems that she and her husband, who runs a store in one of the mill districts, had some time in the past discussed- the' actT?TTof "some man who finding his business in bad shape had become desperate and com mitted suicide. To one friend the merchant had said that should he ever find himself in such shape he would not. think of coramiting suici de but would simple pick up and cut out for parts unknown. When he failed to come home and was not found at his store his wife imme diately thought of that conversation and was sure that her husband had got into .business difficulties and had deserted her. This belief was brought to a climax when--a note was' VcnXi in th esafe saying'tiw-t he had left town and didn't know he would be back. In the midst of a terrible morning for the prostrated wife the train from Yorkville came in and on it the missing husband, who had suddenly jumped the train yesterday and run over to a neighboring town on some business. The note found was one he had written to his clerk last fall some time when he was starting to the Jamestown exposition and It had lain un-noticed ;in the safe until this most in-opportune time before being found. It is un necessary to say that more care will be expected in the future. * SHIP STUCK IX MUD. j Steamer Outward Bound from Sarau / nah Driven Ashore. A dispatch from Savannah, Ga., says the British steamer Hutton wood. Capt. W. B. Boag, went ashore Friday afternon outward bound for Liverpool with a miscellaneous cargo valued at $346,897. ? The vessel was approaching the quarantine station when a tremend ous storm burst upon her. Tug and vessel were caught by the full force of the wind, and the Hutton-% wood was stuck hard fast in the mud. She lay broadside to the stream and all efforts' to dislodge her proved futile. ' Tugs kept busily at work, however, and the Hutton wood was floated that afternoon at. high tide by the tugs Cynthia and McCauIey. It was not necessary to lighten any of her cargo. She pro ceeded to sea. WOMAN ADMITS CRIME. She Confessed to Having Helped Cut Her Husband to Pieces.

DROWNS WITH WIFE HER LEAP TO RESCUE SINKING CAPTAIN ENDS IN TRAGEDY. Drowning Occurred in Sight of Hun dreds Who Were Powerless to Pre vent It. Locked in each other's arms, in plain views of hundreds on shore and upon the awning decks of an chored yachts, Captain Otto Aubert and his wife were drowned Wednes day nigh toff the foot of East Twenty nintu- street;- New-York' in ?- the- stip known as "The Drowners." Five thousaud spectators watched the electric lights of the police launch and thirty of the yachts as they drag ged for the bodies. They were found finally not more than fifty feet from the barge Edgewood, which Captain Auhert commanded. Fully fifty persons have been drowned off the "Dumps." as that part of the river front is called, in the "drowners' " slip in the last twenty years. ' No tragedy has caus ed the sorrow of this sad happening. The spectators murmured in sympa thy when the bodies, still firmly held In a last embrace, were brought to the surface. If'was to save the life of her help mate that Mrs. Aubert sacrificed her own.. He had fallen overboard and she leaped in after him. For more than thirty years they had navigated the rivers and Sou rid. when their boat, the Edgewood, lad en to her deck-beams with grain in bulk, reached the moorings at the foot of East Twenty-ninth street. The grain was partially discharged when Mrs. Aubert rang the supper bell at 7 p. m. After supper the grizzled captain, once a Norwegian soldier, whose universal good nature had gained for him the sobriquet of "Happy Otto." lighted his corncob pipe and tuned his banjo. He was an export ton this instrument, and for an hour he entertained his wife. Finally he sang his wife's favorite song: "When are you coming home, my dear?" The stuffy little cabin had grown more stuffy, and the Captain sug gested that they get a little air on deck. lie preceded her to the rail and leaned upon it. It gave way 'with his weight just as his wife reached his side. Before he could make a motion to save her she was overboard. "Hannah, oh, Hannah!" he cried, as the current bore him away. Mrs. Aubert ran to the rail and plunged in. Daniel Sbeehan and John Dunn stood on the bulkhead! after trying to get a boat they jumped overboard I in their clothing and swam to where i the old captain was struggling to unlock the arms of his wife. But the woman, who was half strangled, only clung the tighter, and Sheehan and Dunn had to keep clear or themselves go down. They saw the couple sink together and then rise' again. The captain weaker than before, tried again to loosen his wife's hold, but in vain. Finally, with a despairing cry, he threw his own arm#s about his wife, and they went down for the last time. Nearly, sixty yachts were anchored in the East River north and south of Twenty-ninth street. Every one of them had, sent their tenders when they heard that u couple were drowning. The launches with elec tric lights on board aided the police launch in the search for the bodies later, while throngs covered the shore line and watched untii the grapplers of the police boat brought up the bodies. The captain and his wife will be buried in one grave. MARKING' TIME ON VENEZUELA. United States Government Simply .Awaiting' Course of Events. . -?A'- dispatch from Washington, says: The State department Is marking time oh Venezula. Events that have, occurred have produced ? situation thaf; promises little change for some time and this Government is await ing "the course of events. The guu bbai Marietta will leave Curacoa for ;Q)aantanamo with Mr. Sleeper, sec , retjary 'of the American legation at Caracas, and Lieut. Francis A. RUg gle, military attache, as passengers. Senor . Veloz-Golticoa. the Venezue lan charge at Washington, remains In that city, but will take up his resi dence in the suburbs where he will .continue to be in close touch with the1 State department if necessary. Nothing had been .earned, at the ? Venezuelan legation concerning the event in Caracas, so that no new light could be shed upon the diplo matic tangle involving the two coun tries. Some interest was attached to the fact of the ordering the Marietta from Curacoa to Guantanamo. No instructions were given for the re turn of the vessel to Venezuela. The reason given was that there was no further use of the gunboat to ploy between Porto Cabello and Willem stad. ? TALLY-HO TURNED OVER.

Suddenly a rush was made and a dozen hands clasp ed each officer and his gun. The ne groes were jerked across the rail road track and 100 persons pounced upon them, others still holding the guards. Through the wire fence of the railroad the mob shoved the ne groes and then started at a run across College Hill. For nearly half a mile they continued to the first oak tree in the old Cherokee nursery. Here an attempt was made to break the handcuffs which held the negroes together, but without avail. No one had a rope but a heavy trace chain which was locked around one of the negroes was broken apart and a -loop was soon made around his neck. Some%one mounted'the tree and from the first limb caught1 the end of the chain, tying it around the limb," while others held the alleged assailant up from the ground. He was then turn ad loose, his feet about two feet from Lhe grouud. The other negro, still dandcuffed to, the body of the hang ing man,' stood with hands clasped iround the tree. The mob stepping jack about-10 paces opened fire jpon the men,,hundreds of shots be-. ng fired into the bodies. .Many tried :o prevent the killing of the negro vlio was clasping the tree, there be- ' ug much doubt about his connec ion with the outrage.
