AFTER A THIRD DIVORCE. And Mrs. Walter Werner is Not Yet Thirty Years Old. New York, Feb. 10.?Justice Mc-j Call was asked to-day to confirm the| report of Referee Bruce and grant to I Harriet Werner a decree of divorce from her husband, Walter Werner, xnanaerer of a cloak factory, at 12 East Twenty-third street. There was no opposition, and the decree will follow. Mrs. Werner, who is not 30, has been married three times, divorcing her first two husbands?Walter Lapbam, son of former United States Senator Lapham, of Syracuse, and Morgan Marshall, a cigar dealer. Mrs. Mina Radford, wife of Guy Radford, well known in the automobile trade, was named by Mrs. Werner in her present suit. Part of the story told before Referee Bruce was about a visitation at 2 o'clock in the morning, in April last, to the apartment of the Radfords at 6 West Thirty-eighth street, when Radford, Mrs. Werner and a detective alleged they found Mrs. Radford and Werner. Mrs. Werner has been receiving $20 weekly alimony pending the trial of the suit. When she gets her final decree of divorce, she will be free to make a fourth matrimonial contract, if ehe desires. mm GAY LOTHARIO SKIPS. Sad Romance Revealed in Colored Society of St. Matthews. r St. Matthews, Feb. 10.?A romance in the higher circles of colored society, which would charm a dime i novelist has come to light here. It . appears that the gay Lothario, of a hue, where "tawdry yellow strove with dirty red," dropped into town about ten days ago. He claimed to be a doctor of Philadelphia, that he was on his way to Tuskegee to make an address, and was going from place to place through the benighted gf- South, "uplifting his race." His pedal extremities had barely hit the fertile soil of this favored bailiwick, when a pretty and petite little teacher in the colored graded school fell violently in love with the learned medi co or "The uity or jsrotneny juuve. ' He, too, avowed that his heart, hitherto as impervious as the hide of a rhinoceros, was now as susceptible to her charms as the gentle tones of the cooing dove are to its mate. It is needless to add that the courtship proceeded at a 2.40 gait, and long before the studious parson of the bride's church had sought his coach for pleasant dreams, his services were requested to tie the nuptial knot. Avowing early the following morning that St. Matthews was " -> too small a place for a man of his v * ; colossal importance, he would "hike out" for the city, allow her to arrange her school affairs, and he would either return or write for her in a day or two. Claiming that his pocket funds had surprisingly run short, \ he asked "the girl of his heart" for a "lift," and she freely invaded her neat little pile, salted down for a rainy day, and sent him on his way rejoicing. Time rolled on, and the Innocent little Dido stood bravely and trustingly "upon the wild sea banks . . waving her love to come again to Carthage," but all in vain. The truth finally dawned that she was buncoed, and applied again for her position in the school, where she has taught so long and so well, a good, old colored "mauma" sized up the situation by soliloquizing: "He upi; tiftin de race, indeed. He uplift de aeventy-five dollars of dat girl, and oughter be killed." ' /. Boiler Explodes. SB&\^ ! Bay City, Mich., February 10.?Six men were instantly killed and a number of others seriouly, if not fatally injured when the boiler in Princing's sawmill at Crump exploded to-day, wrecking the mill and scattering the debris 100 feet in every direction. The ; . accident is believed to have been caused by forcing cold water into the boiler when the water was Iqw, causing excess of steam. The accident happened during the noon hour while the men were in the boiler room of the mill warming themselves and waiting for the whistle to blow to start the second half of the day's work. Two of the dead men, William Coppersmith and Oscar Shoup, were married. The others killed are Ward Amidon, George DeWitt, Chris Johnson and John Flood. INDIAN WEDS AT RICHMOND. | Second Chief of the Pamunkey Tribe Marries White Girl. Richmond, Va., Feb. 9.?Thomas S. Dennis, a full-blooded Indian, second chief of the Pamunkey tribe, which makes its headquarters on the reservation near White House, on the Pamunkey reserve, was married here this evening, his bride being Miss Eva Steward, of New Kent county. He is 31 years old, and is employed by a local distillery company. Mrs. Dennis's age is 21. V /? 1 - RACE CLASH IN TENNESSEE. Three Negroes Killed in Pitched Bat- / tie With White Men. Chattanooga, Tenn., Feb. 8.?In a pitched battle between the whites and a negroes at Hales Bar, about twenty 1 miles south of Chattanooga early a this morning, three negroes were shot I to death. They are Leo Sloan, a la- p borer, "Daddy" Baker, a preacher, e and ring leader of the black rioters, j and one unidentified. 8 Forty determined, though un- c armed, white men, prevented an at- f tack of two hundred armed negroes v last night, until reinforcements and p munitions of war could reach them, s and this morning, with the first dawn t of day, led by Capt. Will Burk, of the o Chattanooga police department, an v advance was made on the negro set- o tlement. Not since the hostile armies p of the sixties pelted each other with h shot has such a scene been enacted t< in the Tennessee River Valley. c All night long the handful of white t] laborers, "bluffed" off an attack of a the two hundred armed negroes, r There was no time before the arrival t< of the squad of police with riot guns t< and cartridges loaded with buckshot tl that the negroes could not have cap- A tured the white camp. But they did e: not know it. s< With the break of dawn the first n shot was fired. A fusillade followed, and the crack of rifles did not cease a until the negro camp had been va- fi cated and every weapon that could h be located in a negro's hand or house h had been seized. The negroes man- r< aged to make away with most of their a weapons, but the police and others a captured quite a number. n Bad feeling has been brewing for a some time between? the white and f( black employees of the lock and dam t< contractors, and an assault upon one of the negro laborers by a number of white men yesterday, coupled with a liberal distribution of bad whiskey S and guns among the negroes, brought the trouble to a climax. To-night there was comparative 1 quiet at the dam, but as a matter of precaution the Chattanooga police de- tl partment was again petitioned to send some men to the scene. In view A of a possibly serious menace to hu- e! man life, and to property, and of the ii fact that the place was without ade- o quate protection, a force of seven a: men was sent down to-night. b< There is little likelihood of further outbreak. However, the white work- ci men fear the negroes may return w under cover of darkness and attack li them while they sleep. cu tl Cha~ged With Horse Stealing. l( Orangeburg, Feb. 9.?F. D. Wynd- g ham, who hired a horse and buggy trom Julius H. Albrecht, a local liv- 7( eryman, last Friday and is alleged to CJ have sold it to Otto Rhame at Holly Hill, has been arrested in Augusta c and brought to this city. He was C) arrested in Augusta, while he was buying railroad tickets for Savannah a for himself and two women who were G with him. Wynd ham denies having been in Orangeburg, and declares that he < traded his own team with a stranger ^ he met on the road last Friday, the ^ stranger's team being the Albrecht R( outfit and that Wyndham took the Q, team on to Holly Hill, where l^e sold n, it to Mr. Rhame. G Wyndham is identified by the negro > ( keeper at the stables, and Mayor w Dukes states that he saw this man in town Friday morning. Mr. Albrecht has secured his team, and he with Mr. Rhame will prosecute Wyndham. A preliminary hearing was held be- a; fore Judge Brunson of the magistrate court and Wyndham was bound over q, to the court of general sessions. He g; was committed to jail on default of j $600 bond. ^ Wyndham attended Clemson colleg a few years ago and is from a good family in lower Berkley county, p Wyndham is accused of having stolen a horse and buggy from Aiken. o Shoots Blind Tiger. C bManning, Feb. 12.?Henry Spring, p, colored, a porter at the Central hotel j at Pinewood, was probably fatally bl wounded'at an early hour this morning while resisting arrest on a charge n of unlawfully selling liquor. The shooting was done by Special Deputy b R. F. DuBose, who had been sent by ir Sheriff Gamble to make the arrest. n When told by the deputy to consider' c] himself under arrest, Springs asked "What for?" and started to back p away. He then drew a pistol and commenced to run, firing twice at the S officer and snapping the pistol three times more. By this time Mr. DuBose, who is a one-armed man, got n out his pistol and fired twice, the first w shot striking Springs in the right h arm, disabling it, and the second en- a tering the body in the small of the U back near the spinal column. The p wounded man was put on the Orange- d burg-Florence train and brought to b the jail in Manning, arriving here in tl such a state of shock that an opera- h tion was not deemed advisable. The fi deputy was not struck by either of n the shots fired by the negro. ? WARNING FROM THE LORD. i Durham County Negro Sells His ! Property. This morning in the sheriff's office . citizen from Patterson township re- ] ated the wonderful and curious 1 .ctions of a negro by the name of < tansom McClam, who sold all his < ossessions in order to give the mon- < y to the poor. 1 Tho ctrtrv crnoc that thp npcrn in a A IIV WVVi; V41MV v^v ^ vo. w V| ;ood old soul and a member of one >f the churches in that vicinity.

Let me tell you one thing. 1 .nnanias held back part of his possssions when de Lord told him to i ell and he was struck dead.

The entire sale l ealized him about $700 and this c mount will be distributed by him mong the poor of the county.
