The tragedy was one if the most harrowing Oconee has witnessed In yearn. J. P. Htnckle shot and mortal ly wounded Mm. Emma L.

Within a few minutes he had expired before having spoken to any one. Mrs. Anderson lingered until it night, when she died ivlng regained consclous- fired three shota at Mrs one of which was warded Aeronaut Palls Five Hundred Feet to His Death. At Watervllle, Maine, in full view of 25,000 horrified spectators, assem bled on the Central Fair ground late Tuesday, Charles Oliver Jones ’ of Hammondports. N. Y., aeronaut, fell a distance of 500 feet to his death. Among the witnesses of the fright ful 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 accidet. Jones had been at the fair grounds with his dirigible balloon. "Boomer ang. known as a Strobe! 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 and 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. At this time the balloon had passed out of the fair grounds. Many per sons in the great crowd endeavored to apprise Joes of his danger, but several minutes elapsed before he no ticed the fire. Then he grasped the rip cord and by letting out gas en deavored to reach the earth. The nftchlne had descended but a short distance when a sudden hurst of flame enveloped the gas bag and the frame work immediately separating from the hag. Joues fell with the frame of his mo tor and when the spectators reached him hfe was lying under It: the gas bag was completely destroyed. The physicians who were in the crowd found that Jones had no chance to survive as he was injured internally and his spine was broken. Jones had trouble with his balloon the day before on account of the cold weather which caused a number of leaks, through the contraction of *he gas bag. It Is thought that the bag leaked again and that a spark from the motor caused the disaster, tones was 40 years old. o’clock without ness. Hinckj Andersol WHOLE FAMILY OF NEGROES EX- GVLFED BY FLOOD. CRASH AT CROSSING Two Arc Three Seriously tired. Not Seen Since Last Wednesday and on Thursday Nothing Bnt Top of Cabin Could be Seen. With the subsiding of the" floods come continued-stories of destruc tion of property and loss of Hfe. Mr. William Lyk4s of Lykeslaud 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 bfeen covered to the eves in the flood. The family consisted of a wife and five children, one Just four days old. They had » boat with which to make their es cape, but neither l>oat nor negroes have been seen. It is feared that he and his entire family were drowned. Coroner Walker has been notified and will make investigation at once. Thursday afternoon the house was approached in a boat_by Lawrence Erwin, and even then the water cov ered the body of the cabin. The cur rent there being so swift the boat man did not go very close, as he at hat time thought the negroes had abandoned the house. But as noth ing has been heard from'them, it is feared that the whole family has per ished. It would have been almost suicidal to have attempted to cross the river to the Lexington side and there were fearfully swift currents on the Rich land side. Even had Addison Fuller attempted to come back on the Rich land aide it is more than likely that he would have been swamped- and had he stayed. It is sure that they per ished. for there was no signs of Hfe shout the house. The boatman who approached did not go near enough to see whether the l>oat had been taken from the house. The house is yet surrounded by water and a party will go there in boats to Inspect the nr^mlses. Mr Lykes states that the place Is about 12 miles from him and he would have reported It sooner but 'y hurt and three seriously injured u>ar Ottawa. flTTThursday night when an electric car on the Illinois Valley railway struck a carriage. In which were seated Walter Snell, a wealthy farmer and a party of six persons. The dead are; Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Snell. 12 years. Son of J^rn. and Mrs. Snell. 8 years old. The fatally injured are: Mrs. Ma mie Townsend and daughter of Mrs Snell. 15 years-^Jrt The serloubTyNnjured are: Mr ind Mrs. Snell aukl a son of Mrs Townsend. 8 years/old. The crash occurred at a point wher the road crosses the electric line vtKHit six miles from Ottawa. The -oad was not well lighted and near 'he crossing there is a sharp curve whieb prevented Mr. Snell, who was driving from seeing the approach of a lar. The carriage was directly in •he center of the track when the car 'wming at top speed, crashed into it. h£T 4ftp and I _.AH_the_occupants of the carriage th« third entering her body between the seventh and eighth ribs and com tng out at the backwashing through her body close to the heart. Mrs. Anderson ran from the room and was caught by some one as she fell mor tally wounded. It Is stated that the first shot fired was aimed at Mrs. Anderson’s daugh ter, two of her children being in the room with her when she and Hinckle entered the room. Hinckle engaged Mrs. Anderson in a conversation under the pretext of wiahing to pay his board bill. It Is understood That he had been a persistent suitor foi Mrs. Anderson's affections for some time 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 Coronei Holiman. but their cintents have not been made public. For a number of years Hinckle was piliceman at‘ Seneck and was well thought of. For some time he and Mrs. Anderson had been quite inti mate. She was a wiman of beauty It face and figure ‘»nd had many ad mire^. Jealousy and Mra. Ander son's persistent refusal of him are generally thought to be the two prime factors that led to the murder and suicide. - Hinckle was about 50 years of age ant) a widower, and Idrs. Anderson several ^ara younger. Her husband has been dead about three years. DIES TO SAVE DAUGHTER, . was Woman Plunges Into Cistern of Scakh lug Water and Both Perish.
