New York, June 7.?On her first visit to New York and her first ride in an elevator, Miss Lena Schoonmaker, 19 years old, one of a sightseeing party, was crushed to death this afternoon when her head was caught between the floor of the elevator and the sixth floor of the Flatiron building. The party was being chaperoned by Mrs. Charles M. Hall, daughter of Judge Alton B. Parker. When four of the girls started to descend in the elevator, Lena fell forward in a faint, her head near the door of the car. The car stopped but started up again. The head of the girl rolled over the edge of the car and the protruding ledge of a floor caught and crushed her skull, broke her neck and crushed in her chest. She died instantly. The elevator boy was placed under arrest on a technical charge of homiK. cide. | , Chick Springs. You will doubtlesss spend a week or two somewhere else besides Bamberg this month.

Frier, the pastor, attended the executive committee meeting of the Barnwell Association at Blackville last week. The inclement weather prevented my prayer meeting last Thursday evening. We had a good attendance at Sunlay-school Sunday morning and fair congregations at the preaching services. The pastor preached in the morning on the commendations of Jesus, viewed as his medals and diplomas, noting the things they were given for. The line of thought and Bible study seemed to be very much appreciated. The theme at night was Paul, the ever ready. He was presented as always ready for service or sacrifice in the service of his Lord. Friday afternoon will be the regular time for the Sunbeam Band to meet. ot tho 0V111 rr?V? SlinHflV luc uiuo&vs at tuv vuuivu ^ was as usual good, but especially so Sunday. Pastor 0. J. Frier attended the ministers' conference of the Barnwell Association Monday at Denmark. A goodly number were present, and the main topic of interest and discussion was the coming prohibition election in August and the attitude we should take and what we ought to do in the matter as ministers of the gospel. All ministers of every denomination in Bamberg and Barnwell counties were requested to' meet with the conference on further consideration of this question on Monday after the first Sunday in July. If you continually miss your children from the regular family meals, you become uneasy about them, and usually they are sick when they do not have appetite. So it is when the pastor misses some faces from the regular services, it is occasion for concern; for if a professed Christian has no relish or appetite for the "sincere milk of the word," It is evidence that such one is in a sickly spiritual condition * ROBBERY ON MAIN STREET. Automobile Repair Shop Broken into and Robbed. Last Wednesday night, between the hours of 12:30 and 2:30 o'clock burglars forced an entrance into the repair shop of Mr. Buist Brickie by smashing a glass in the back door and removing the bar across the door. The robbery was discovered by Mr. Brickie about 2:30 a. m., when j he came down to take the early | morning train. After a hurried in vestigation ne stanea on a searcn for the night marshal and reported the robbery to him. Bloodhounds were immediately put upon the trail, but as the robbers had provided themselves with bicycles taken from Mr. Brickie's stock, it was impossible for the dogs to do anything. The robbers were tracked in the direction of Denmark by the tracks of the bicycles, but the trail was lost at the ginnery about a mile from here. It is supposed that the culprits leit the dirt road at this place and took to the railroad track. Mr. Brickie is inclined to think that the job was accomplished by some one familiar with the place, as they seemed to find no difficulty in selecting articles of greatest value. An inventory of the stock revealed the fact that three Winchester rifles, two pistols, two bicycles and eight pair of bicycle tires were taken. The robbers left one bicycle standing outside the back door, however, it having a broken chain, and selected another one in good repair. It is thought that the same parties tried to force the back door of Mr. D. A. Kinard's store at about the same hour, but were frightened away by the night marshal, who arrived in time to fire three shots at a fast retreating from, none of which it is thought took effect. Gone to the Hospital. Wesley Banks, who was shot over a year ago by Preston Brown and who has never recovered from his wounds, left yesterday afternoon for the hospital in Charleston for an operation. It will be remembered that Banks was shot while guarding railroad property. Banks is a negro who has the respect and confidence of the white people of Bamberg, and they not only contributed to pay the expenses of his illness after he was shot, but they have contributed to pay his expenses at the hospital. Banks showed us the subscription list on Monday before he left, and we were gratified at the liberal contributions made by our best people. Banks desires us to thank his white friends through The Herald for their kindness, and he is especially grateful to Dr. J. J. Cleckley, who not only attended him dnrine his illness and since without charge, but who accompanied him to Charleston for the operation. We trust that the -operation will be successful, and that Wesley will be restored to health, and in this connection we cannot too highly commend the big heartedness and Christian liberality of Dr. Cleckley, who has attended . Banks so long without reward or hope of reward. I Firemen do Heroic Work. Sumter, June 8.?What came near being a most disastrous fire, entailing the loss of many thousand dol- ' lows n/?o avartail rtnlu hv Vna ? /-,</? toapV jiaio) nog ut vi ti/u vmj ktj uva vav vi v?a ^ of the Sumter firemen. The twp- ! story frame residence of Principal A. ; U. Frierson, Kendal institute, colored, on south Harvin street, was , burned; loss about $2,000. The chapel, dormitory and main ! school buildings, in very close proximity, were in serious danger for1 A 1 long time. The chapel caught a number of times, but was saved final- ; ly with all other buildings after the hardest fight under great difficulties. To add to the danger, a pile of lightwood, about 75 cords, caught fire in the rear of the main building ' and for a long time it looked as if the fire would destroy all of the buildings. Delay in getting water on 1 the fire, owing to the distance from the nearest hydrant, caused a valuable loss of time at a very critical moment, but the work of the firemen ' saved the day. The total loss is ; about $4,000. Frierson saved most of his household goods. The fire is now under control. PICKENS NEGRO TO HANG. Haas Butler Found Guilty of Attempted Criminal Assault. Pickens, June 8.?The morning session of the court was taken up with the trial of the State against Haas Butler, colored, charged with criminal assault. The court appointed W. E. Fendley to represent the prisoner. The lady upon whom the assault was made is the daughter of one of the best citizens of Pickens oi UUUUty. out; is jcais ui age auu told the story of the assault in a cool and deliberate manner in open court. The summary of the testimony is that on the night of April 28, about 11 o'clock, the lady was waked up by Haas Butler. The girl resisted the attack and the brute was frightened away, escaping by the window through which he entered. Details of the crime were brought out in testimony not necessary to be recited. The moon was shining brightly and she recognized him with his blue shirt on. Butler works on her father's farm and she saw him nearly every day. The lady positively identified him in court. Reliable citizens heard Butler's wife say to him on the night after the arrest: "I told you not to go up there." Butler said, "Shut your mouth." Butler came and went from the lady's house in his stocking feet. He was tracked to and from the house. His socks were produced in court and sworn to by reliable citizens. Arthur Bray, colored, was a star witness for the State. He swore that Butler told him what he was going to do with the girl. No defense was offered. The jury remained out about three-quarters of an hour and found a verdict of guilty, which means a death sentence. Judge Dantzler sentenced the prisoner to be hanged on Friday, July 23. Bamberg to Greenville. Leaving the town of Bamberg at 6 o'clock Sunday morning and arriving in the city of Greenville early yesterday morning was the record made by a Ford runabout by Messrs. Jerald Quattlebaum and Vernon Brabham i of Bamberg. The route taken was j something in the neighborhood o. 200 miles, coming via Greenwood to this city. One of the gentlemen stated to the reporter that the trip was a delightful one in every respect excepting a few bad stretches of road, one between Bamberg and Greenwood and another on the route between Greenwood and the city of Greenville. The flying journey was minus a 1 - ?i ?:i xu ^ single inisuay umii me gcuucmcu reached the city limits and then the main front spring gave way while riding over the rough places on the city's main thoroughfares. This, however, did not stop the machine from running on into the city to a garage shop. Only ten gallons of gasolene were used in making the trip.?Greenville News. Dispensary Investigation. The dispensary investigation in Columbia is getting interesting, and it seems that the attorneys and the commission are going to get results. The sensational affidavit of C. W. Dudley is published in another column, and the testimony of H. A. Curiel, head of the New York and Kentucky Co., before the commission on Tuesday is decidedly interesting. Mr. Curiel testified that he paid commissions to James Farnum and Briggs Wilson, this money being paid to them as commissions on whiskey sold to the State dispensary. Mr. Curiel stated that Farnum seemed to have great influence with the board of directors and had kept his firm's account from being paid. It seems likely that former members of the board are going to be put to some trouble at least. PROCLAMATION. State of South Carolina, Executive Chamber.
