WRIGHT SCORES Great Triumph with His Wonderful Aeroplane. MAKES LONG FLIGHT In His Flying Machine He Sue- j ccssfully Meets the Government Endurance Test and Breaks the World's Aeroplane Record for Two Men as to Time and Distance. A dispatch from Washington says the world's areoplane record for two men as to both time and distance was broken Tuesday evening in a beautiful flight of one hour, I twelve minutes and forty seconds? upwards of fifty miles and at a speed averaging about forty miles an hour, by Orville Wright at Fort Myejr, with Lieut Frank P. Lahm, of the army signal corps, as a passenger. The former record was made last year by his brother, Wilbur, Joint inventor, with him of the machine in which both achievements wero performed at LeMans, France, with Prof. Painleve, of the French Institute, 88 passenger. That flight was one hour, nln<> minutes and thirty-one seconds. Wilbur was an eager spectator cf the flight by his brother. The cheering which heralded the setting of a new mark in the conquest of the air was led by President Tuft in person, who had sat an intensely interested spectator throughout the flight, and who insisted at its conclusion upon personally congratulating the brothers upon their success. This success was all-important to tiie V* rights, in that it completed the Prst of two crucial tes s of tu*!machlne Imposed upon them by the United States Government?the gv ca'.led "endurance tesf, ' wh'cu icquired them to remain one hour con tinuouly In the air with one passenger. Orville did nearly thirteen minutes better than that, and could have kept on indefinitely?three hours and a half, the limit imposed by the gasoline capacity of the supply tank. Poignancy was added to Monday's achievement of Orville Wright - by the realization by everybody present that upon his last attempt to navigate the air with a passenger, that passenger, Lieut. Selfridge, was killed and he himself terribly injured. His devoted sister. Miss Katherine Wright, who nursed him through the period of his recovery from that disaster anxiously watched him Monday from the doorway of the shed where the aeroplane Is kept, and when be returned unhurt from his flight, gripped him eagerly by the arm, nestled her face ugainst his breast and said: "Bully for you, brother, it was beautiful." It is a question whether this word of praise was not more to him man that which came a few minutes later, when the President of the United States, who had waited for him at the other end of the great parade grounds, took him warmly by the hand, and with the other grasping that of his brother, Wilbur, said: "I congratulate you heartily, sir. It was a great exhibition. You beat the world's record." "Yes. sir," replied Orville, evidently embarrassed. "I beat my brother's record." The President and everybody In the crowd about joined in the laughter at this sally. "How did your passenger conduct himself? Did hp talk tn ih? man?" asked the President. "He behaved very well," replied the aviator. "Well, I congratulate both of you, and I thank you for the privilege of witnessing such a flight," added the President, and again shaking hands with the brothers, he entered his automobile and rode away, amid cheers. "I was norvous at first," said Orvllle after the flight. "You know this was my first attempt with a passenger slnce^?since last year. Gradually |the ma?hdne .found herself, however, and I felt as sure as if I had been swung at the end of a string, with no such problem as direction or elevation or speed to solve. I could hear Lieut. Lahm at first, but the terrible racket of the motor soon deadened my ears, and we abandoned all attempts at conversation. I did not Intend to land as abruptly as I did, und was trying some low flying. I misjudged the elevation and before I knew it we struck the ground. 1 could have remained up another hour or so, but there was no necessity. I am a..v.?.>cu wuii me nignt and with having surpassed my brother's record." Shocked and Horrified. Any woman In the State of Georgia who rides astride will become a 1 felon, if the bill introduced in the house Monday by Representative Wright become i law. The statesman from Stu.ir' n.-uer saw a womau ride astride until he came to Atlanta. He wa? shocked and horrified by the sight of a pretty girl in divided skirts whirling along on the back of a meddlesome horse. Steam Line to Panama. Charleston is to have a direct steamjhlp line to Panama, beginning in the fall, and operating a boat, carrying mail and freight, every nine days, running independently of the government line, now running between New York and Tanama. f MAN SHOT DOWN ( IN COURT BEFORE THE JUDGE AND OTHER OFFICERS. The Husband of a Divorced Woman Kills Her Former Husband About Their Child. A tqrrible tragedy was enacted g at Little Rock., Ark., on Tuesday. Shooting over the head of United States Senator Jeffries Davis, W. Y. Bills, a resident of Pine Bluff, fired a bulllet into the heart of Nathaniel Parker Willis, owner of a liquor cure at Indianapolis, Ind., in the Circuit Court Toom at Little Rock s Tuesday afternoon. The shooting e was the tragic ending of a lawsuit ^ brought by Willis against his di- t< vorced wife, who had subsequently 1 married Ellis, for the possession of 11 his child. Willis died almost in- ll stantly after he was shot in the arms J of his mother, who was waiting across the room, and rushed towards u him as he fell In the hallway out- a side of the court room. J Willis secured his divorce a num- s ber of years ago, and recently started the litigation for the possession a of the child. Monday he secured c an order from Circuit Judge Fulk 1 to take possession of the child, who * has been for the past ten days in the custody of an uncle at Pine Bluff ' and Tuesday the parties to the suit * met in the court room to decide a where the child was to be delivered. 1 Ellis appeared for his wife, the for- 1 mer Mrs. Willis, and Senator Davis * represented Willis. I' While Judge Fulk was seated at a a table In the court room, discus- r sing with Senator Davis the condi- ' tions of the transfer of the child, d Ellis pulled a revolver from his ^ pocket and fired point blank at Ellis, f who was seated across the table. A 1 court attache knocked up his arm r just as the weapon was discharged and the bullet was embedded in the c wall. f ,Willis ran round the table, with c Ellis close at his heels. The latter c rested his pistol against the door e jamb just as Willis ran out and 1 fired a second time. Willis fell to 1 the floor, dying, clasped in hiB moth- 1 er's arms. Sheriff Roberts seized F Ellis, pulling him into an ante room 0 to prevent any further shooting. He surrendered his pistol to Judge 8 Fulk and was at once taken to Jail. 1 Relatives of the man kilied have d been summoned to Little Rock. Fol- 8 lowing the shooting those in an ad- 8 joining room scrambled for an out- 8 let. and in the subseqeunt excite- 8 ment serious injury to several was 1 narrowly averted. Two attempted to leap from a 8 window but were restrained. That Senator Davis had a close call Is n declared by those In the room at ^ the time. Several assert that the c first bullet passed through his coat. Explaining a rent In his garment. r however. Senator Davis declares that c It was torn by catching on an edge T of the table as he hastily arose. a KILLS WIFE AND SELF. c t The Man Committed Suicide in the | 1'olfce Station. ' 1 In a state bordering on Insanity, t said to have been brought on by drink and the fact that his wife had a refused to live with him, Robert M. c Fanning, aged 2 8 years, went to the f police station at New Bedford, Mass., j front his home at West Port early f Monday morning, and after produc- / Ing a letter in which he had written of having murdered his wife, shot y himself in the head, causing instant c death. s Following directions given in his n letter, the officers went to West Port, i and at a spot indicated, about a half t mile from her home, found the body c of Mrs. Fanning, who apparently had c been killed with a hatchet. v Fanning arrived at the police station in his automobile. He was in t such u condition that it was with dlf- v Acuity he could make hmself under- j stood. He produced a letter from o his pocket, and, after making several t futile attempts to read it, half hand- v ed it to an officer. e After the ofllcer had read the let- v Iter he asked: a "What do you want me to do u about It?" "Just this," was the reply, and Faning with a quick motion, produced a big revolver, placed the muzzle to his mouth and fired. He fell dead instantly.

Pursuant to the procla- , nation of Gov.

After remaining out bout 15 minutes the grand Jury reurned and published the result of heir investigation in court, which raB a true bill against John Jenk- i as for assault with criminal intent s charged. Accordingly a petit Juy was drawn for the regular trial. Imklns did not have counsel for his lefense and the court assigned ilessrs. Walter Hazard and M. W. >yatt for the defense, while Sollcior Wells and James Wlngate repesented the State. The testimony began about 11 ('clock. The prosecutrix was th" Irst to be sworn. At the request if the solicitor and under the act if the last legislature, so providing, ivery one was requested by thejudgo o leave the court room, excepting he near relatives of the prosecurix, the attorneys and other necesip.ry officials during the testimony if the young lady. The prosecutrix while on th? land, embarrassed and in a falter ng tone, told the story clearly and listlnctly, positively identifying the iccusod who stood before her. Her tartllng story brought tears to the iyes of many who were preeent and is she left the court room, passing he prisoner in the box, she said: 'I hope I will never see that brute live again." Several other witnesses testified, imong whom were Deputy Sheriff Vard, F. L. Slau, Jr., and several olored witnesses. At the conclusion of the testlmoly the Judge charged the Jury, as leither side cared to make a speech, rhe Judge's charge was short, clear ,nd Instructive. The Jury retired about 2:15 'clock and returned in less than hree minutes with a verdict of gully with an assault with criminal inent, as charged in the indictment, or which, under the new act of the eglslature, the only punishment that nay be inflicted was death. At 2:25 p. m. Judge Wilson iolemnly pronounced the sentence j <f the court which was to the efect that John Jenkins, alias "Slip- j >ery Joint,'" must pay the penalty , or his crime on the gallows on tugust. 13, next. Jenkins appears to be about 17 , ears of age, perfectly illiterate and if a very stolid nature. While the entence of death was being prelounced upon him he smiled almost ncessantly and seemed to have ' hought that it was smart to be the entre of attraction of so large a :rowd, which almost bulged the iralla r%f pomri Kouoa - ?- ..UUOW. f Jenkins was quietly carried back ( o the Jail house and during the ( /hole trial there was perfect order. f udge Wilson highly commended the , eople for their action in the mat- , or, their orderly oonduat, and ^ /hile it was a case of a nature to f xclte the highest anger, the law /as allowed to take its full course i nd everything will continue orderly { intll the execution is consumated. t < SKIPS WITH THE CASH. , I lank Officer Takes Rank's Money f ? < With Him. i The First National Rank of Tifton, nd., has been closed because its asIstant cashier, Noah It.

Harry Thaw sat in the Supreme ^ 3ourt at White Plains, N. Y., on Tuesday and heard a woman's tes:lmony that made his palled face lush. He saw a pearl-handled doe whip exhibited, nnd he heard the witness swear that she had seen htm wield it on the bare flesh of young Slrls. , The witness, Mrs. Susan Merrill, x buxom, pink-cheeked woman of ' ibout thinty-five years, opened a new uhaper la the life of Stanford 1 White's slayer. She told of alleged lets of his between 1902 and 1905, j when he was a young bachelor about | Mew York, before the tragedy on the i Madison Square Roof Garden that , resulted In his being placed In the . State Asylum for the Criminal Insane, from which he is now trying , to escape by proving himself sane. ] Summarized, her testimony was ] that during the three yearB named, | Bbc kept In succession two New York lodging houses, where Thaw rented rooms under assumed names, and to which he brought at various times more than two hundred girls. After Thaw's Imprisonment, she said, she paid these women at least $25,- , 000 as the price of their silence, and to "keep them from bothering Thaw's wife or mother." Tho woman told of finding Thaw on several uccasslons lashing the girls on their bare arms and bodies. Thatw, she said, had posed as a theatrical agent and had lured the girls to his rooms with promises, of engagements. She tesitlfled further that Thaw had frequently behaved in a violent manner In her presence, and that she considered his acts Irrational. LAME ANl) BLIND Bt sIprc i\ X?v York hunli hy Day and Night. a It Is reported that one of the most remarkable religious demonstrations ever witnessed in this country has been brought to a close in the Roman Catholic Church of St. Jean Raptlste, in East Seventy-sixth street. New York, wherein a little silver case are treasured two small bones that are believed to be from the wrist of St. Anne, mother of the Virgin Mary. On the first of the nine days of the Novena, remarkable cures were reported, among them being a woman who is said to have regained her sight. This and many reports of similar miracles caused the little church to be besieged day and night by the lame and the halt and many pitiful scenes were witnessed. vBellevelng parents sent to the shrine children who had been ill from birth, others brought men and women so crippled that they could not walk and scores of the blind were led to the altar rail to kiss the little silver case and frequently utter their prayers to St. Anne for deliverance from the physical woes. The rush of supplicants became so great that special details of policemen formed the crowds into lines and were always present at the churches to preserve order. Many persons seeking to be cured come from distant, cities, and hundreds came from adjacent localities. CHASED THE UMPIRE. , I H? Escaped But Twenty Other Peo- ' ( pie Were Injured.

L. J. Broughton, of Atlanta, a .?ilful, Malicious. Vlrlo?' _jir. Some of the Georgia legislators who are now in session In Atlanta ;ot hot on Tuesday and said some very naughty things. The trouble liegan when Anderson, of Savannah, who Is fighting the near-beer bill, irose to a question of personal privilege. Ho was white-faced, trembling, and had to moisten his lips several times before he found his voice. "I notice," he began, "that a lo:al minister named the Rev. Len G. ,rrV,t~~ 1- * - ? <.uu6utuii, is t|nua'u in me press as having said In a sermon that I was Fighting the near-beer bill because I had bought stock in a Savannah brewery after the prohibition bill was passed, and that I was the only man in tho State who had made money out of prohibition in Georgia. I desire to say that this preacher is a wilful, malicious, reckless, malignant and vicious liar. I fully expected to be assailed and villifled when 1 obeyed my constituents' will and opposed the Alexander bill. Out I never even dreamed that a minister of the Gosped, a follower of Him who preaehed charity and taught truth, would stoop to become a slanderer and a common liar. "In the first place, no Savannah brewery, nor stock in one has been sold since prohibition went into effect. Hence this is another lie of the reverend hypocrite. Al>out fifteen years ago I bought ten shares in a Savanrah?ferewery, and paid $100 a share. I was out of the State when tho prohibition bill passed, and when I returned and tried to sell my stock, I could not. It is now worth about $50 or $60 a share, but cannot be sold. "This Alexander bill is a new prohibition bill, and we already have the strongest prohibition bill ever drafted. If it be not enforced, then it is because the officers are negligent and the people do not want it enforced. I have never placed as much as a straw In the way of its enforcement. nut you know you cannot enforce an unpopular law." Anderson sat down in a breathless silence, and little Representative J. A. Slade, slight, dignified and minis terlal looking, arose. Slade Is from Muskogee county, and is a Baptist minister, the same denomination which Broughton serves. Every one expected a bitter retort to Anderson's outburst. What was the astonishment of all, then, when Slade went further than Anderson in denouncing his fellow clergyman. "I was astonished and insulted." he said, "to hear the slander heaped upon a worthy member of this Legislature by a man who professes to be a minister of the Gospel. I am a Missionary Baptist preacher. I believe in and practice temperance, but do n*:t believe in prohibition. In the name of all good Baptist, however, I want to resent this attack upon Mr. Anderson by a long-haired, loud mouthed, itinerant preacher, who has done more harm to the temperance cause than all the brewers and distilllers in the world. And the really honest temperance advocates should realize that unless they curb Ihese freak extremists, ?hey will see the pendulum swing to the other sxtreme." Speaker Holden did not let any :>ne else get the floor, declining to recognize several excitable members, and calmly forcing a resumption of the consideration of the tax bill. Ilmiigliton's Rejoinder. Dr. Broughton gave out the following statement in regard to the scathing denunciation he received at j he hands of Representative Anderson : "I am Rind, at loast. If I have lone nothing else than force Mr. Anderson to acknowledge in the :1ouse of Representatives, where he a posing as the champion against eglslation for the prevention of the tear-hoer e\ii. that he is a r'ocklolder in a brewery, one, at least, n Savannah, that is manufacturing nore near-beer than any other In he State. "It Is Immaterial, so far as the mint I made against his right to lit in judgment upon such leglslaion. whether he has recently bought itock or not. it is a fact thnt he >wns the stock and that lines up vlth the whiskey interests."

Jr., son of Senator Tiiimen, denied the alarming reports Monday that had been scattered throughout Washington concerning the serious illness of his father. The stories concerning tSenator Tillman's illness arose in all probability from the following, printed in the Washington Post Monday morning: "The shrill voice of Senator Benjamin Ryan Tillman, of South Carolina may never be heard in the Senate Chamber again. Senator Tillman is ill at his home, a farm, near Trenton, S. C. He has been at home for three weeks and his friends fay his condition is so serious that there is little likelihood that he will be strong enough to return to Washington to vote on the tariff bill. The rumor that he contemplates resigning his seat is revived, but Senator Tillman is following the same course he did last summer and refuses to confirm or deny the report. "Senator Tillman has not fully recovered from the attack of partial paralysis, which seized him last summer. He tried to cure this by an extended tour of several months in Europe. The health resorts of the Continent helped him greatly, and he returned to the United States much stronger than he was when he left. While the paralysis has not returned, a sreneral dianJillltv fmm noRs has made his life unhappy in tho last few months. "The going of Tillman will take from tho senate one of its most picturesque characters. Pitchfork Hen, as he Is called, is feared of nil other senators for the sharpness of his tongue, and the keenness of his wit. No man in the United States Senate is an abler, rough and ready tighter than Tillman. "Senator Tillman's brother, the late George It. Tillman, was a Congressman from the 2nd South Carolina district in the House. He was known as one of the most quiet and unemotional men that ever sat in the body. The name of Tillman was practically unknown until Senator (Tillman was elected Governor ot South Carolina in 1890. He celebrated his election by forcing through the Legislature the dlspen- . sary liquor law In that State. "Always interested In education, he founded his second college in the State after the inauguration. The ( first school established through his efTorts was the Clemson Agricultural ( and Mechanical College at Calhoun's old home. Fort Mill. S. C. The second school Is the Wlnthrop Normal and Industrial College for Women, ' at Hock Hill." ! 1 Two New Crop Hales. Two Georgia farmers Monday marketed new crop cotton. J. W.
