PROMISES TO BE GOOD. What One Fellow Did to Get Girl He Wanted. + _____ Chicago, 111., Sept. 28.?Edward Matt, who to-day married Miss Gertrude Ellis, sought to avoid future domestic infelicity by filing with the county recorder a guarantee to be as X nearly the model husband as possible. The guarantee, signed and witnessed by a notary, promised: "She may do as she pleases, she is free to go and come when she likes, to go with 3 t n v.? wnom sue cnooses a.uu 1 win uv?, uc * jealous. I will not go gunning for a fellow because he admires her beauty * and because she smiles when he ** speaks to her. I will not interfere with any of her plans. I-will be kind and good to her, I will give her all my earnings and it will be her privilege to do with my income as she likes, so long as she feeds me well. "When we have a surplus and* it goes to the bank I agree not to hold the keys; the checks may be signed ? by either of us. I agree to come home at a proper hour each night or give her a valid excuse, and I further J agree that I will let her get a diforce if I fail to behave as a kind, loving | and gentle husband." When the guarantee had been duly placed on record the couple sought a minister | and were married. I Blease Voted for Irby. ! Columbia, Sept. 30.?At the Red Shirt meeting in the Columbia theatre Wednesday night, in his address to the followers of Wade Hampton of 1876, Gov. Cole L. Blease elicited great applause by his a - * -*- ?? L1?? ? ? w, Vi/\w nf declaration uiui its a iu^uiuci vi the house of representatives in 1890 he had voted for Wade Hampton for senator. An examination of the ' Journal of the house of rcpresenta tives for that year shows that while Mr. Blease did vote for Hampton on the first ballot, which was purely ^ formal, he voted on all succeeding ballots for John L. M. Irby, who was elected over Hampton on the seventh ballot. The Journal shows that in accordance with the federal law each house balloted separately for senator on Tuesday, December 9,-1890. The vote in the house stood: For Hamp \ ' ton, 31; for Irby, 50; for Donaldson,' i 33; for J. J. Hemphill, 2; for E. S. Keitt, 2; for G. D. Tillman, 1; for . Robert Smalls, 3. None of the candidates received a majority, either in the house or senate, and in accordance with the law, the two houses , ( met in joint assembly the following day, when the first joint ballot was taken. ' The Journal for Wednesday, Def oember 10, 1890, pages 221 to 223, shows that on this, the second bal1 lot. Irby received 63 votes; Donaldson 45; Hampton 42; Hemphill 3, and Smalls 1. Those recorded as voting for Irby (page 222) are as j follows: Messrs. Alderman, Bissell, [ Blake, Blease, Browning, Buchanan, Buist, etc. The thira oanot, on iflursuaj, December 11, 1890, pages 244 and 245 . ? of the Journal, show again that | 5 Blease voted for Irby as he did on the . other three ballots taken the same I day. On the fourth ballot of that day ' December 11, which was the seventh t?i-n on Trhv elected, the t LKtHUl XU aiit A* vj t I vote standing as follows: Irby 105; | Donaldson 9; Hampton 43; necesfj sary to a choice, 79. The record therefore shows that while Mr. Blease did vote for Wade I 1 Hampton, on the first formal ballot, in the house, he did not vote for ? Hampton at all in the joint assembly | when the really decisive ballots were h taken, but voted for Irby each time, ? six in all. It is interesting to note that Mr. Ira B. Jones, .then also a member of the house, and now candidate for f governor against Mr. Blease, voted for Irby all the way through, having m been appointed chairman of the ways I . and means committee by Irby, who was then speaker, and Jones suci| ceeded Irby as speaker when Irby r?j| signed to take Hampton's place. f BROTHERS IN BLOODY MilLi', One Dead, Other Dying, Result of Family Feud.

C., Sept. 28.?Resenting, it is said, the efforts of his alleged rival to persuade his sweetheart to leave him, Clyde Childers shot and killed Hank Morse at the girl's feet to-night, at* Rockingham, N. C., and then turned the pistol upon himself, inflicting probably fatal wounds. Competition for the hand of pretty 20-year-old Beulah Stone had been keen for months, and on the strength of a promise that she is said to have given Morse, he secured a marriage license to-night and started to her home. She had gone for a walk with Childers and when Morse, in his buggy, overtook them he alighted and tried to persuade the girl to go with him. To this Childers demurred and Morse, it is alleged, struck at him. Childers then drew his pistol and fired. As Morse staggered away, desperately wounded, Childers fired two more shots into his sinking foe and then shot himself twice, falling within a few feet of his victim. The marriage license was found in Morse's pocket. Rallying on his way to the hospital, Childers laughed over his deed and declared he had no regrets ox-' cept that he had not finished himself. / BROWN STILL FUGITIVE. Posse Continues Search for Woman's Alleged Assailant. Lafce City, Sept. 23.?All day long the people of this community have been expecting to hear that Willie Brown, the negro who, it is alleged, attempted to assault a lady near Johnsonville Sunday night, had been captured and summarily dealt with, but the news at 6 o'clock last night is that he still is at large. However,^ those near the scene and iij touch with the pursuing parties assure all that Brown will not escape but will be caught within forty-eight hours. The lady is advanced in years and lives with her mother, who is probably 75 years old. The negro first attempted to enter the window but was detected by the lady, who fastened the shutter. He then broke open the door and rushed in and caught the lady, who had risen from the bed. As already stated, her screams and plucky fighting frightened him away. It is now reported that Brown earlier on the same night assaulted two negro women, and that two other negro men were accessories to the three alleged offences. Brown has a very bad reputation but his father is one of the best negroes in the county. WOMAN DEFIES TRADUCER. / Promises Warm Reception to Anyone Molesting Her. Emporia, Kan., Sept. 22.?"If any one is going to molest me for something I did not do, just come on and I will sure give Dr. Patton a job picking out a few shot.?Mrs. Frank Hurtig." The above notice appeared in the Optimist, published at Olpe. Mrs. Hurtig has received threats of violence if she does not leave Olpe, and takes the above method of defying her enemies. It is believed that some one suspects her of giving information to the'county officers of violation of the prohibition law at Olpe. TO PLEAD "UNWRITTEN LAW?" No Light Thrown on Killing of Garland by Mrs. McCrea. Opelousas, La., Sept. 22.?A complete cloud of mystery still surrounds the details of what led to the killing of Allan T. Garland, by Mrs. J. P. McCrea, a young society woman, in a room of her home yesterday morning. Other than to say that she killed young Garland to protect her honor, Mrs. McCrea's lips are sealed and neither she nor her husband will cliscuss any phase of the case. The district attorney said to-day he would fight any application for bail. The defence has not yet outlined any definite course of action, but it is strongly intimated that the "unwritx? 1 '' ? - ? irvinnrf??nf nart ttii-l law ilia J' JJltt* au irnyui m .^vt The body of Garland was found beside an upturned chair and it is said that the prosecution will contend that from the direction the bullets came indications are that Garland was shot from behind as he sat in the chair. Posse Rescues Negro. Birmingham, Ala., Sept. 30.?Ed Houghton, a negro, was rescued from a mob at Warrior, a few miles from her&, to-night by a large posse j of deputies from Birmingham and is now in jail under strong guard.

The mob took the jail keys away from the town marshal and th*e deputies arrived just in time to prevent them from securing the prisoner. The negro had written an insulting note to a popular young woman at Warrior.
