fe, FARMER'S PROTEST FATAL.
Objected to Picnickers Using His
House as a Target.
Paterson, N. J., May 23.?Two
men are dead at Little Falls, N. J.,
as the result of a revolver battle befpzp:
tween a farmer and picnickers,
whom he endeavored to eject from
the vicinity of his farm. Fifty snots
were fired by the disputants. The
farmer, Frank Costello, and one of
the picnickers, Frank Dorsey, were
each shot through the heart.
The picnickers had planned to
amuse themselves by revolver practice,
shooting at a target placed
against Costello's house. When the
f , bullets began to ping-ping against
the clapboards, Costello came out on
j a run and ordered the invaders away.
They laughed at him, and he returned
with his own pistol.
Mr. W. I. Johns Married.
Allendale, May 24.?A marriage
of much interest to the people of
Allendale and the immediate section
was that of W. I. Johns of the Baldoc
section, to Miss Montez Bramlett
of Gaffney, which occurred in
Greenville Monday afternoon at 5
o'clock, with Dr. R. W. Sanders officiating.
The bride is remembered
here as the teacher of the Davis
Branch school, while the groom is
one of Barnwell county's most
staunch business men, and one of the
largest land owners in this section.
Mr. and Mrs. Johns arrived on the
midday train from Greenville to-day,
and will be at home to their friends
near Baldoc.
'
X ' The many Barnwell county friends
of Mr. C. C. Califf, formerly of Barnwell,
will regret to learn that he has
been quite ill for some time at the
home of his brotherdn Denmark. The
last report received from him, however,
was encouraging.?Barnwell

THRILLING DESCENT.
Woman Performer Has Narrow Escape
from Death.
At Asheville, N. C., Floretta Forenz,
a triple parachute performer as
sociated with a visiting show, had
a narrow escape from death Thursday
afternoon when, after accidentally
cutting the wrong parachute
;rope, she fell at a rapid rate from a
height of nearly 1,000 feet.
Had not her parachute caught in
the street car and electric light wires
in the heart of the city, she would
have undoubtedly been killed. In
the last half of the descent Miss Lorenz
was virtually hanging to one
cord of the first parachute.
The young woman was carried into
a store in a fainting condition,
but she was otherwise uninjured.
She later stated that she carried
three parachutes with her and, on
reaching up to release the balloon
wherein she ascended, accidentally
cut the ropes of the second and third
parachute, which, however, did not
open.
The unusual weight of the two unopened
parachutes, added to her
own, caused her to descend at a
rapid rate and the hundreds of peoTtrVirw
orofhorod in rpntrfi of
Jfc/iw n WV V\4 V
the city saw that the young woman
was in danger of alighting on the
roof of the postoffice.
A sudden gust of wind, however,
carried her over the network of trolley
and illuminating wires which
cross and re-cross Patton avenue,
and there were loud cries from the
anxious hundreds when the swinging
ropes and then the parachute
itself caught in the wires and were
firmly held, allowing the thoroughly
frightened woman to descend
safely.

Strikes Twice in One Place.
New York, May 24.?Lightning
txcirp in the same nlace at
Hempstead, L. I., to-day, killing one
man and nearly killing another. The
bolts fell during a short, sharp electrical
storm, among six carpenters
working on the roof of a new building.
The first struck William Whiting
and rolled him, stunned, to the
eaves. His fellow workmen rushed
to his rescue, and had just saved him
from falling when the second bolt
struck the roof. It hit George W.
Collins of Jamaica, killing him instantly
and tearing off all his cloth-j

RENEWS POSTOFFICE ATTACK.
Arkansas Senator Again Assails Alleged
Despotism of Department.
Washington, May 25.?In a written
speech, Senator Jeff Davis of
Arkansas, to-day continued his war
on the postoffice department because
J -i x ^ J r
mat department, reiuseu tut tuc actond-class
mail about 100,000 copies
of a St. Louis weekly paper oil the
ground that the addresses were not
bona fide subscribers. Mr.' Davis
charged that this action was an unfair
discrimination and due to a
feud that arose during Postmaster
General Cortelyou's administration
between the department and the publisher
of the paper. He asserted that,
the express companies co-operated
with the department in the warfare.
Charging the postmaster general
with despotism, Mr. Davis said that
official makes his own law to suit
his own purpose. "He is not deterred
by the rulings of the supreme
court that every act of his must be
founded upon some law," he said,
"neither is he deterred by the statute
which requires that all his regulations
be 'consistent with law.' He
introduces, in the form of regulations,
ruling or orders whatever
novelties he pleases. He is practically
without restraint. The citizens
nf the United States and esneriallv
publishers are at his mercy."
x Mr. Davis presented a resolution
providing for a general investigation
of the postoffice department, hut no
action was taken on it.
Senator Burton made reply, calling
the Arkansas senator's charge
"extraordinary and reckless" and
calculated to bring undeserved discredit
upon the postoffice department.
Well Known Lawyer Guilty.
New York, May 24.?Daniel O'Reilly
former district attorney, and wjsll
known as a criminal lawyer in connection
with the cases of Harry K.
Thaw and Nan Patterson, was found
guilty to-day of receiving stolen
goods by a jury in the criminal
branch of the supreme court. He was
remanded for sentence.
O'Reilly was charged with having
negotiated for Frank L. Plass the return
of $87,000 worth of securities
stolen on March 2 from Aaron Bancroft,
an aged broker. A reward of
$5,000 was paid for the return and
O'Reilly received $833 as his share
of the reward.

Washington, May 24.?The execi
tive committee of the Brotherhood c
Locomotive Firemen voted to-nigt
unanimously for a strike of fireme

Saving the Anvils.
A story to be good does not neces
sarily have to be new. The followin*
story, which was a favorite of th<
late Senator Carmack, falls witnn
this rule:
"A brawny negro," said Senatoo
Carmack, "was once employed as t
stevedore on the docks at Memphis
to help unload a cargo from the
steamer Anna P. Silver.
"The negro was carrying anvils
ashoire, and so great was his strength
that he carried one under each arm.
"In crossing the narrow gangplank
with an anvil under each arm the
negro slipped and fell into the water.
"He came up puffing and blowing.
'Frow down er rope,' he yelled.
"The men on board laughed at
him in derision.
" 'Frow down er rope,' pleaded
the negro, treading water vigorousMy.
"Getting nothing but jeers, the
negro cried excitedly.
" 'Fer de lab's sake, man, frow
down er rope or I'll drop one er
dese anvils.' "-Chattanooga Times.

Girls Refused Charity Cream.
a Washington, May 23.?A large ,
e number of the women clerks employ- > I
s ed in the census office refused a gift- .
e of ice cream from the women's wel- I
>. fare department of the civic feder*- /
e tion.
a Shortly before noon fifty gallons of
e cream were delivered at the office by
- n.dar Af fho Tadies' federation. V
whose sympathies had been aroused' 1
e at the thought of 1,200 'girl clerks %
e busily engaged in putting on rec~ 9
- ord the census of 1910 while ther- m
mometers in their rooms mounted' 9
i gayly into the 90s. The clerks had J^k
not known of the treat intended lot /9
them, and the appearance of the ' 9
freezers in the corridors at lunch 1
time was the signal for a general de* ; Jjj
. mand' for an explanation. 1 <
r When they discovered the purpose M
3 of the gift a number became highly M
L indignant. They declined the cream, T
with thanks, and bitterly criticised
. those who partook of it
t A statement given out by one of -o
} them, who draws a salary of 11,800,
> explains as gently as possible that
the census clerks as a rule go out to v
, luncheon every day and are not, as
L a class, in need of the assistance the ?
Ladies' federation had been kind fl
. enough to offer. JH
She was in the Same Fix. fl
A story is going the rounds of a I
couple of young people who attended fl
church recently. When the collec- fl
tion was being taken the young man V
commenced fishing in his pockets fl
1 for a dime. His face expressed hii "fl
embarrassment as he hoarsly whlspered:
"I guess I haven't a cent, I fl
' changed my pants." The young lady fl
who had been examining the un- if'
known regions of a woman's dress ^
for her purse,, turned a pink color, -fl
and said: "I'm in the
