A dispatch from Walhalla. says Coroner J. W. Ilollinan received notice Wednesday at 2 o'clock to go t< Seneca to investigate a double tragedy, which occurred at Seneca, eight y miles from there, shirtly before 2 o'clock. The tragedy was one if the most harrowing Oconee has witnessed In years. J. F. Hinckle shot and mortally wounded Mrs. Rmma L. Anderson, proprietress of the Anderson boarding house while they were in a conversation in the dining room of Mrs ' Anderson's home, and ns soon as he had committed the awful deed. Hinckle turned the weapon upon himself firing point blank under his chin, the bull ranging upward and into the . brain. Within a few minutes he had expired before having siioken to any one. Mrs. Anderson lingered until S o'clock that night, when she died without having regained consciousness. Hinckle fired three shots at Mrs Anderson, one of which was warded off by her. one breaking her arm and the third entering her body betweer the seventh and eighth ribs and com ing out at the back, crashing through her body close to the heart. Mrs Anderson ran front the room and wai caught by some 'one as she fell mortally wounded. It is stated that the first shot fired was aimed at Mrs. Anderson's daugh tor, two of her children being in the room with her wheu site and Hinckle entered the room. Hinckle engaged Mrs. Anderson in a conversation under the pretext of wishing to pay Itlc Imaril 1.111 II l> / . it ?o imuviaiuuu Him he had been n persistent still or fot Mrs. Anderson's affections for sonn tiriic and that day's tragedy was the culmination of her refusal to marry him. Several notes were left by him and are in the possession of Coronet I loll man, but their cintonts have not been made public. For a number of years Hinekle waspilicenian at Seneca and was weP thought of. For some time he and Mrs. Anderson had been quite intimate. She was a wiman of beauty p face and figure and had many admirers. Jealousy and Mrs. Anderson's persistent refusal of him are generally thought to be the two prime factors that led to the murder and suicide. Hinekle was about 50 years of age and a widower, and Mrs. Anderson several years younger. Her husband lias been dead about three years. IHKN TO SAVK DAl'CIHTKR.

Y.. aeronaut, fell a distance of 500 feet to his deuth. Among the witnesses of the frightful plunge were Mrs. Jones and they were almost the first to reach the side of the dying man. Jones died an hour and a half after the accldet. Jones had been at the fair grounds with his dirigible balloon, "boomerang, known as a Stroliel airship, since Monday. He arranged a flight between 3 and 4 o'clock but such a high wind prevailed that a delay was necessary. At 4:30 conditions had modified trnd he gave the word to have the machine released. When the aeronaut reached a height of more than 500 feet the spectators were amazed to see small tongues of flame issuing from under the gas bag in front of the motor. \t this time the balloon had passed jut of the fair grounds. Many pertons in the great crowd endenv?i*?H I o apprise Joes of his danger, but several minutes elapsed before he noilced the fire. Then he grasped the ip cord and by letting out gas enleavored to reach the earth. The inachine had descended hut a short tlstance when a sudden burst of lame enveloped the gas bag and the frame work immediately separating from the bag. Jones fell with the frame of his moor and when the spectators reached lint he was lying under it; the gas >ag was completely destroyed. The physicians who were in the crowd round that Jones had no chance to survive as lie was injured internally ind his spine was broken. Jones had trouble with his balloon he day before on account of the old weather which caused a number >f leaks, through the contraction of he gas bag.

Not S?rii Siucc litisl Wednesday mm) oh Thursday Nothing But Top of Cabin Could Im* Seen. With the subsiding of the Moods come continued stories of destruction of property and loss of life. Mr. William Lykes of Lykesiand Monday afternoon telephoned The State of a pitiful case. It appears that a negro, Addison Fuller, and his family occupied a cabin which since has been covered to the eves in the flood. The family consisted of a wife and five children, Dne just four days old. They had a boat with which to make their es "ape, out neither boat nor negroes have been seen. It Is feared thut he :ind his entire family were drowned. Coroner Walker lias been notified and will make investigation at once. Thursday afternoon the house was approached in a boat by Lawrence Erwln, and even then the water cov red the body of the cabin. The cur-, -ent there being so swift the boatman did not go very close, as he at 'hat time thought the negroes had tbandoned the house. Hut as nothing has been heard from them, it is "eared that the whole family has perished. It would have been almost suicidal o have attempted to cross the river \o the Lexington side and there were fearfully swift currents on the Richland side. Even had Addison Fuller attempted to come back on the Richland side it is more than likely that he would have- been swamped, and had he stayed, it is sure that they per1 islied. for there was no signs of life about the house. The boatman who approached did not go near enough to see whether the boat had been aken from the house. The house is vet surrounded by water and a party will go there in hoa^s to inspect the iremises. Mr Lvkes states that the place is about 12 miles from him and he would have reported it sooner but 'bought that the negroes nearby had ione so. but the negroes have acted mi a singularly cold blooded and indifferent manner.
