r KILLS FATHER; WOUNDS SON.
Fatal Shooting Affray in Vicinity of
Hartsville.
Hartsville, Dec. 12.?E. D. Bose(
man, a farmer about 65 years old,
was shot to death and his son, Otto
Boseman, aged 22, badly if not fatally
wounded by Coy Blackman, a
youth of 22 years, to-day about 12
o'clock. Blackman made his escape.
The shooting began in the house
of Cicero Byrd, a negro, who lives on
v; the plantation of S. W. Byrd, a
prominent farmer, living about five
miles west of Hartsville. The two
young men had met. at the house,
supposedly to get something to drink,
g?; UXIU was luuvweu uy cue ^uuii^ci
1^,: Boseman and his father, who had
come to the negro's house also. In
~the yard Blackman resumed firing,
his first ball strking the elder Mr.
Boseman in the heart, killing him instantly.
He then shot the young man
and seriously wounded him. The
physician who was called says that
it will be impossible to tell whether
the wound will be fatal until after
an operation, which will be performed
to-morrow.
An inquest was held over the body
i of Mr. Boseman and a veridct returned
in accordance with the facts.
Otto Boseman and Blackman were
companions and had formerly worked
together at Roanoke Rapids, N. C. It

Petersburg, Va., Dec. 10.?Lying
/ In a pool of his own blood on the
floor of the bank's vault, and with a
| bullet in his brain, S. H. Cruikshank,
aged 28, cashier of the First National
bank of Emporia, Va., 40 miles south
; of Peiersburg, was found dead this
' / afternoon.
The discovery was made by Miss
Everett, assistant cashier, and Miss
Kunes, bookkeeper, when Mr. Cruikshank's
unusual absence after the
- lunch ,hour was noticed. It is believed
Mr. Cruikshank fired the shot
, while all the others of the bank were
' at lunch. His accounts are said to be
straight and no cause is assigned for

Gen. Randolph Kills Himself.
Washington, Dec. 9.?Major Gen.
Wallace F. Randolph, retired former
B&fc..-- CILItfl UI LJU.O vuclol aiuiin;
ip:' ' committed suicide at his residence
in this city to-day. 1
Gen. Randolph shot himself
through the head. No reason is
fev'v known for the suicide and the only
plausible explanation is that he took
his life while suffering from an atpp
tack of kidney trouble, to which he
had been subject for several months
|p||f past.
Gen. Randolph wasjnainly instrumental
in the development of the
|?;, present system of field artillery.
During the Spanish-America^ war he
0'j commanded the field artillery with
Gen. Shafter's army in Cuba. Upon
P.: the establishment of the coast ar^
tillery corps in April, 1901, the President
appointed him to the chieftain|pv':
ship of the corps, in which capacity
?/% he served until January, 1904, when
he was retired as a major general,
- since which time he has made his
home in Washington. He was a naPl
tivc of Pennsylvania and was sixty~
nine years of age.
- and a quarrel arose over the owner
ship of a pistol, which was Jn Blackly",
man's possession, but which the
younger Boseman claimed belonged
<: to him? He demanded that the
weapon be given him and advanced
|- on Blackman brandishing a beer bot^
tie. Blackman fired, the ball taking
1|?? effect, but not making a serious
pb wound.
Blackman retreated to the yard

FIRE IX BUREAU DRAWER.
Sleeper Awakened by Smoke Saves
House?Fire Started by Rats
Cope, December 9.?Last night,
at 12.30 o'clock, Mr. Joe H. Clark was
awakened by the smell of smoke in
his bed room, and at a glance, saw
fire coming out his bureau drawer.
He pulled the drawer out, thinking
he'd empty its contents in the fireplace,
but as the whole thing was
afire, the flames burst forth, extending
several feet. He then pushed the
drawer back, raised the window and
called for help, and then got some
water in the meantime. Mr. J. C. Gray
his next door neighbor, answered the
call, and they soon had the piece of
burning furniture out of doors.
Mr. Clark says the accident was
caused by rats.
Thi> Wtrvncr Sppnt.
A prominent citizen of Washington
was traveling over a line of railway
with which he was unfamiliar. At
a certain point the road passes a
fertilizer factory, the odor from
which is offensive. It is particularly
disagreeably to a lady who is compelled
to make the journey daily.
As a protection from the obnoxious
atmosphere, she is accustomed to
carry a bottle of lavender salts.
As the train approached the factory
she produced the phial as usuair
hinstopped it, and applied it to her
nostrils. Presently the odors from
j the factory began to permeate the
car. The Washington man endured
it as long as he felt that he could.
At last he rose to his feet, and, approaching
the lady, said, in his most
polite manner:
"Madam, may I request you to replace
the stopper in that bottle?"?

Explosion on Submarine.
San Diego, Cal., Dec. 10.?By the
explosion of a defective intake valve
of the engine of the submarine boat
Grampus to-day, three enlisted members
of the crew were injured, one
so badly that it is expetced he will
die.
The accident occurred just as the
boat was pulling along side the
wharf at Corroado, after a practice
spin in the bay. Herman Ley, aged
22, chief electrician, who had his
skull fractured and Is Drobably fa
tally injured, had just qualified for
submarine service, sustained the
brunt of the explosion, which came
when the motor was switched on to
start the engine which supplies the
motive power oi the craft. A piece
of defective valve struck him in the
face.
Previous to the accident the Grampus
had spent more than an hour
driving in the bay and running on
the surf.
A fond mother in Valparaiso hearing
that an earthquake was coming,
sent her boys to a friend in- the country,
so that they might escape it. In
a few days' time she received a note

along the earthquake."?Judge.
POWER OP HYPNOTISM.
#n"
v *Remarkable
Core of a Persistent
Case of Hallucination.
Writing in the American Magazine
of the remarkable cures effected by
four great medical experts through
the means of hypnotism, H. Addington
Bruce describes a case which was
successfully treated by Dr. Pierre
Janet, the noted Parisian specialist:
4 'HHV* ft on#ara/l f i?aiyi a
i lie pau^ui ouuu^u iiuui a pcisistent
hallucination of seeing a man
in the room with her. Her relatives
believed that she was insane and
wished to place her in an asylum, as
she occasionally manifested suicidal
tendencies. But Dr. Janet diagnosed
her case as one of hysteria and with
the aid of hypnotism made the interesting
discovery that the hallucinatory
image which she thought she
saw was the figure <of a lover who
had deserted her several years be-,
fore. It appeared that every time
she thought of her faithless sweetheart
his image rose before her.
"To Janet it seemed a perfectly
simple matter to 'suggest' away the
hallucination by impressing upon her
during hypnosis the idea that when
she awoke she would no longer see
the imaginary form. But he found
that for some reason the suggestion
would not 'take.' Day after day he
patiently hypnotized her, always
without success. Finally he began to
suspect that at bottom she did not
want to be cured and that the passionate
desire to see her lover, If
only as a phantasm, constituted too
strong a 'self suggestion* to overcome
by direct attack. Another
method would have to be tried.
" 'Very well,' he one day said to
her while she was hypnotized,' if you
want to continue''seeing your lover,
you shall see him. But, remember,
you will always see him with the head
and lace of a pig.'
"He then brought her out of the
hypnotic sleep into her natural state.
Five minutes later she uttered a cry
and covered her eyes with her hands.
" 'What is the matter?' inquired
Dr. Janet calmly.
" 'It is terrible! Terrible!' she exclaimed.
'I see a man standing' in
the corner of the room, and his. face
is like a pig's!'
" 'How absurd!' said Dr. Janet.
"After this he left her to her own
devices, no longer hypnotizing her.
For a few days she complained that
everywhere she went she sate the man
with the face of a pig. Gradually the
hallucinatory image faded and at
length entirely disappeared, leaving
her restored to perfect health. As Dr.
Janet afterward axplained,. the grotesque
hallucination which he had
succeeded in impressing upon her had =
brought about a profound revulsion
of feeling. Manifestly she could not I
love a man with a pig's head. She ho
longer wanted to see her sweetheart
or to think of him, and in proportion
as she ceased to think of him th?
hallucination disappeared."
A Lesson in English.

To make a long story short, says
Tit-Bits, the little minister and
Lady Landsdowne soon met again.
It was at the foreign office, and Lady
Landsdowne drew her new friend
apart.
"I want to make a little explanation,"
she said. "You talk English
all but perfectly. Indeed, I have
only heard you make one mistake, i
Now, instead of saying to me, 'I am
sorry to have cockroached,' you
should say, 'I am sorry to have en- g
croached on your time.' 'mat is the
word, encroached! You understand?"
;
The Jap was silent for a moment.
Then the cloud lifted from his face.
A flashlight might have passed over
it.
"i Rfte! T see!" he cried, vi may
say, then, when addressing Lord
Landsdowne, 41 am sorry to have
cockroached on your time,' but it is
to you, madame, I must say, 4I am
sorry to have hencroached on your
time.' "
Philadelphia's Advantage.
"Mother," said a thoughtful Bos- I
ton child, "is Philadelphia older than
Boston?"
"Of course not, my son. The first
settlement was made in Charleston
in 1630, while William Penn did not
arrive on the site of Philadelphia until
fifty-two years later."
"That was always my impression,
mother. VHow is it, then, that Philadelphia
is mentioned in thex Bible,
while Boston is not?"
TwAlrpi Women Sit on Jurv.
San Francisco, Cal., Dec. 10.?A
jury of 12 women sat to-day in a
superior court when Judge Graham
summoned that number of fair spectators
to pass upon a modification of
a decree of divorce whereby Mrs. |
Mary A. Black acquired the custody
of her son from Owen A. Black.
Not being accustomed to jury service,
the women failed to await instructions
of the court and agreed
on a veridct whitout leaving the box.
The court order was entered in accordance
with this verdict.
