E Mobile, Ala., Dec. 11.?When a R' Louisville & Nashville passenger train ffe- out of Mobile struck a cow, near Kirkland, late Saturday afternoon, & the results were as unusual and unit^' expected as they were fatal. &v\" The cow was hurled to one side, life- striking a negro watching the train V go by. The negro was knocked into jPg^ a puddle of water and killed. In j&vK'- falling he struck a dog which was also playing the part of innocent byVv |r = Stander, and the life of the canine mh- was snuffed out, too. lEv7; Held Records for Eccentricity. St. Louis, Dec. 12.?John MorBjgfe"-. rison-Fuller, formerly a banker in *^ -s" Glasgow, Mo., died here to-day from a fractured skull which he received by falling on ice last week. He was j jR a man of wealth. He took his wife's j s>'V.. name when he married. When his home town voted for loUjb cal option, Morrison-Fuller opcnd up Hi a free drinking place and in one year gave away $7,000 in drinks to his friends. He established a bank in > Glasgow so he would have a place to loaf, as he thought the bank then in existence objected to his loafing L J there. Some years ago when he disagreed with the opinions of the editor of a f paper already established, he began Ife publishing a newspaper of his own. 9 = VICTIM ANDERSON CARPENTER. Man Killed in Colombia Left Home Two Weeks Ago. Anderson, Dec. 11.?W. David Scroggins, the carpenter who was killed by a street car in Columbia early this morning, left his home in Anderson about two weeks ago and the telegram received this morning, telling of his death was the first intelligence the familv had of his whereabouts. He left here for An- j treville, this county, to do some carpenter work, and it is supposed that he went from there to Columbia. Scroggins was about 50 years old and was a splendid workman. He was a heavy'drinker and this probably accounts for the stupor, in which condition he was across the car track. The deceased is survived by his widow and four daughters, who are left in rather destitute circumstances. The body will be brought to Anderson for burial. Possibly Robbery Motive. Columbia, Dec. .11.?Local detectives were of the opinion that robbery may have been a motive in a possible injury to W. D: Scroggins, the man who was last night Killed by the street car. That his pocketbook was found some distance away is given as the basis. He may have then staggered across the track, where he lay before he was killed. The body of the dead man was today forwarded to Anderson. Shot from Ambush. Fort Mill, S. C., Dec. 12.?F. Nevin, a prominent merchant, operating a general merchandise establishment two miles from this place, was shot from ambush about 6 o'clock this afternoon, dying almost instantly. No clue as" to the perperator is obtainable to-night as the dead man made no ante-mortem statement. About a year ago, Nevin was attacked in a similar manner while entering his store. On that occasion he was quite seriously injured. A negro was arrested soon afterward charged with the crime, but was acquitted by a jury. While Nevin was in attendance upon the trial of the negro, his store was burned. A hew building was erected on the same site and it was while entering* this place that he was killed to-night. "Not Guilty" Verdict. Charlotte, N. C., Dec. 12.?In the federal court at Greensboro, N. C., to-day, two men, Quaster and Napier, charged with violating the white slave law, were found not guilty by direction of Judge Boyd on the grounds that the law was unconstitutional, in that it interfered with the principles of State rights. This decision will have great effect on other cases of this nature to be tried in this State. Propose Merger of Cotton Mills. % ?? Charleston, Dec. 12.?A number of representatives of cotton mills in which Lewis W. Parker is interested held a conference to-day at the Commercial club building with a view of merging the properties under one management and forming a syndicate with a capital of $10,000,000. The plan was generally approved, it is said, but not actually determined upon and probably will not be for a time to come. It seemed to be the opinion of the mill people that merging of interests offered possibilities of increased profits, economy of operation and a generally improved condition of the industry. The cotton mill people were not inclined to discuss the proposition in advance of the final action, yet to be taken on the matter. Risked Life to Save Women. Norfolk, Va., Dec. 11.?To prevent crushing two women and a child, Fireman George Little drove two horses pulling a hose wagon into an iron pole, killing one of the animals instantly and narrowly escaped injury himself. Company No. 2 was responding to an alarm of fire, which proved to be false, when one of the reins in Little's hands broke. With only one rein he could not manage the horses and they were dashing directly for two women and a child when he turned them into the post. Reduced prices on every article in our store.

R. Trimmier, located on the Forest road about seven miles from 1- the city. o The tragedy occurred Saturday y night about 8 o'clock. It seems that 0 Cary Palmer was engaged in a dispute with his wife, Emma Palmer, e over the ownership of some cotton bills. J list as the dead man was on a the point of striking his wife, hei f son entered, the room and was cursed a by Palmer. At the time Palmer had t shotgun. He put this we&pot y aside, however, and went to the yard - where he secured an axe. Returning e to the house, the quarrel was ret siimed and the testimony in the in1 quest showed* that Cary struck a Chambers with the axe. 0 When hit with the axe, Jim imt mediately fixed on Cary with the shot gun, the entire load taking effect in - the face and head. He died instantly. \ Coroner Turner was notified and went to the scene where an inquest was held yesterday morning.

U MUNICIPAL TROUBLES. ' Mayor Dukes and the' Aldermanic Board Clashes. A very harmless looking little mat- || is, ter produced quite a storm at the Jj meeting of the Orangeburg city coun- !M cil last Friday night, during which Mayor Dukes put the aldermen on frs notice that if they did a certain thing ,iy he would resign his office, After a j.-."' 3 1Sj little deliberation, Jhe aldermen did exactly what the mayor did not want ' || them to do, which was returning a M bail bond of $20, which had been re forfeited tfr a colored woman, who, ; gg it is claimed, bears1 an unsavory rep- .
