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

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.

Disappointment in' a Ix?ve Affair if
8 Thought to be Cause.
/
Lake City, Dec. 12.?Susie Gore,
k the 15-year-old daughter of Henrj
Gore, of Vineland, N. C., to-day be
tween 10 and 12 o'clock deliberately
took her own life by hanging herself
She went in the barn near the house
of her cousin, where she had beer
6 staying for the past five months,
placed a rope over the joist by stand1*
ing on a barrel, then around hei
neck and jumped off the barrel. II
t is thought that she could have easily
saved her own life even after she had
r jumped had she felt so inclined, at
* there was a wall near, to which sh<
% could have easily caught with hex
il hands.
On the barrel she left a note, die
rected to her cousin, in which she
e gave instructions as to what disposid
tion they should make of her body,
if She also mentioned the name of the
:, young man with whom she had bees
it going recently and it is supposed thai
she had been disappointed in a love
affair. There seems to have been nc
other possible reason for the rash
act
j. Her body will be sent to her home
in North Carolina to-morrow foi
jj burial.

y of T. R. Trimmier, located on the
Forest road about seven miles from

o The tragedy occurred Saturday
y night about 8 o'clock. It seems that

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

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

U MUNICIPAL TROUBLES. '
Mayor Dukes and the' Aldermanic

cil last Friday night, during which
Mayor Dukes put the aldermen on

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- . M
