* HELD FOR DEATH OF GIRL.
Both Took Poison, but He Recovered,
Says Accused Man.
Westminster, Md., Feb. 1.?Investigation
of the death of Lulu Airing,
a young woman of Bruceville,
resulted in the arrest to-day of Ira
I Bohn, a young married man who
' lives ten miles from Union Bridge.
A coroner's jury charged Bohn
with having caused the girl's death
by means of a drug. He was committed
without bail for the grand
jury.
J. lie c?:ucutc, mm ?,uc v.~ ?
ft of Bohn's own story, is circumstanB
tial. He is 23 years old and the
W girl was 20. He says his wife left
| him three years ago and since that
ft time he has been attentive to Miss
Airing and intended to marry her in
April. He has, however, not been
divorced.
r
IBohn says the girl was despondent
because she could not find employment
and while they were out
driving yesterday both drank a quantity
of laudanum. Bohn says he recovered
sufficiently from the effects
of the drug to be able to take the
girl to a physician's office, where she
died last night.
Killed by Accidental Shot.
St. George, Feb. 2.?P. C. John- !
ston, Jr., one of the most prominent
citizens of this county, accidentally
- shot and killed himself while out
B hunting this morning about fivej
. miles from town. He was accompaB
nied on his bird hunt by Cal. WhetV
sell, of Reevesville, who was only a
? few yards away when Mr. Johnston |
I* in;some way stumbled and fell, caus\
ing the gun to be discharged, the |
I whole load of shot entering his head
I and causing death almost instantly.
I In the loss of Mr. Johnston, Dorr
Chester county has lost one of her
boat citizens. He served his county
) as clerk of court for 12 years and
' refused to offer for reelection at the
request and solicitation of his numerous
friends in order to retire to pri>
va'te life, where he has since run
successfully a very large farm.
Mr. Johnston was 49 years old and
is survived by his father, P. C. Johnston,
Sr., who is the present clerk
of court and who succeeded his son
- to that office.
Advance in Cotton Continuing.
\ New Orleans, Feb. 2.?The advance
in cotton was resumed this
, morning as soon as the market opened.
Initial prices were 11 to 14
t points over yesterday's close. Both
bulls and bears bought heavily in
' the early trading and in half an
, I hour's time had forced an advance
of 22 to 26 points, or a quarter of a
cent a pound. This is $2 a bale
above Wednesday's closing quotations.
The advance was caused by a highT
mortot than fvjrnected.
Ci lii T CI pwi uawi uvV r 7
coupled with a good demand for
spots there, and a continued good
inquiry at Southern points. The rise
. caught many stop loss orders on the
short side. Much fresh buying by
bulls was also.apparent. Among the
heaviest buyers, according to the gos*
sip of the day, were Memphis shorts
who accepted heavy losses.
The weather map was favorable
, and it was asserted that the present
rise, with roads getting in good condition,
means a great increase in the
marketing value of the cotton still
hfM nn farms and at ginneries.
Murders Detective, Kills Himself.
Knoxville, Tenn., Feb. 2.?Phillip
R. Yow, of Atlanta, shot and instantly
killed C. C. Cadle in the lobby of a
local hotel this afternoon and then
committed suicide. Yow was a son of
i E. M. Yow, a prominent business
L man of Atlanta, Ga., and was forB
merly engaged in business in this
city. He came here a week ago en
route to San Francisco. Cadle was a
B detective. The cause of the shooting
B is not known. Yow entered the lobby
with a revolver in his hand, and
I 1 walking toward Cadle, who was seat[
ed, fired the first shot which struck
Cadle in the left shoulder and pass^
ed through the back of a chair in
which another hotel guest was sitting.
Cadle started to run and was
* shot again. The bullet striking him
at the base of the neck and ranging
downward passed through the heart.
Yow then placed the weapon over
his own heart and fired two shots,
the bullet in each instance, according
to the physicians, passing
Vmirf a n rl entirely
Ciliuugii mc ucui b uuu - . ,
through the body. He then sat down
on a sofa and shot himself through |
the temple. Cadle was 26 years old
and married. Yow was 21 and un-J
married.
$10,000 Loss from Cholera.
Florence, Feb. 1.?It is estimated
that there has been a loss in this
county of $10,00*0 from the effects of
hog cholera that has been spreading
among the hogs at a great rate recently,
so that Clemson college has
had to be appealed to for a veterinarian
to come down and look into
the matter. He has been here for
several days trying to put a stop to
" the spread of the disease.
FRONT YARD 30 MILES DEEP.
That's the Size of One on a Texas
Woman's Ranch.
Mrs. Henrietta M. King's front
door used to be 30 miles from her
front gate. The front yard is still
30 miles through it, so now she has
a railway station only three miles
from the house.
The statement that "Mrs. King is
the largest ranch woman in the
world" must be laid to the St. Louis
Post-Dispatch. Maybe she is. But
it doesn't seem quite right to make
such statements about a lady without
backing them up with statistics
concerning her weight and greatest
circumference.
Whether Mrs. King is tne largest
ranch woman or not, it is pretty
safe to say that her Texas ranch is
the largest one owned by a woman.
It includes about 1,250,000 acres and
the value of the land, live stock and
other holdings embraced in the property
is said to be more than $50,000,000.
Not many years ago it was considered
worth less than $2 an
acre, but with the discovery that
practically all of it is suitable for
agricultural purposes and by reason
of the lower Gulf coast region of the
State by the construction of a railroad
down it the land value has
mounted up to about $30 an acre.
The nucleus for the great King
ranch was acquired in 1858 by Capt.
Richard King. As a boy he was a
homeless waif on the streets of NewYork.
He obtained a place as cabin
boy upon a steamship and for
many years was a seafaring man.
During the war between the United
States and Mexico he was sent to
Texas as captain of a transport that
conveyed soldiers for General Taylor's
army and military supplies to
points along the Texas coast.
After the war was ended he engaged
in steamboat traffic along the
coast for some years. He saw an
opportunity for the cattle industry
in the South Texas region, which
was then an unfenced and unbroken
wilderness of chaparral. With his
young wife he established a typical
frontier home upon the site of the
present ranch headquarters buildings.
The first structure was a combined
residence and fortress. It was
constructed of stone, and in each
corner was a cannon. The cannons
were used to defend the home from
attacks of Mexican outlaws. The
! ancient guns now ornament the beautiful
lawn that surrounds the modern
ranch residence.
About 80,000 calves are branded
each year. More than 300 Mexican
onwhovs. fence riders and other em
ployes live oil the ranch and are on
, the pay roll.
| Mrs. King has always displayed
enterprise in the matter of encouraging
the development of the region
! in which her property is situated. It
was largely through her liberality in
the matter of land donation that the
railroad which runs through the
ranch for more than 100 miles was
constructed. Her special pride is the
new town of Kingsville, the site of
which was formerly a part of the
property. She created a city school
building at a cost of $40,000 and donated
it to the people of the town.
ftives ud Husband for Job. j
Chicago, Jan. 30.?Mrs. Ruby
Brown, of Chicago Heights, whose
ambition to have "one good time"
led her to run up a bill of $102 in
nine days at the Hotel La Salle, has
arranged to work out the bill as
parlor maid. It will take her five
months to liquidate, though she will
receive board and lodging.
"Well," she said, "I'm going to
leave my husband. I've been offered
a job as a parlor maid in the La
Salle hotel. Ben has told me that if I
accept it he'll get a divorce. Of
course I'm going to take the job. I'm
tired already of this poky old Chicago
Heights. I've got to pay the
bill and I am an honest woman, even
if I did have one grand time. Say,
I liked making the servants step
around. I had been bossed so much
all my life I wanted to be boss just
once."
Another Mill Merger.
Augusta, Ga., Jan. 30.?Announcement
was made to-day of the conclusion
of the deal whereby the Langlev
Manufacturing company buys out and
takes over in their entirety the Aiken
Manufacturing company and the
Seminole Manufacturing company, all
located in the Horse Creek valley of
Aiken county. The capital stock of
the Langley Manufacturing company
has been increased, in order to consummate
this deal, from $800,000
to S2.000.000. The combined textile
enterprise will have a spindieage a
little in excess of 100,000.
Thomas Barrett, Jr., has been
made president of the company, and
meetings called of the Aiken and
Seminole on February 16 for the formal
transfer of stock.

I
THE TYPIST'S REVENGE.
And then the Head of the Firm
Got Wise.
Not long ago a clear-eyed, brave
young girl who had been reared in
the lap of luxury, and then left suddenly
penniless by the death of her
father, went out into the world to
make for herself what she called a
"career." Six months of instruction
in a business college enabled her to
obtain a position in the office of Jabez
Onderdonk, a venerable merchant,
in whose veins a few drops of
hot blood of youth still contrived to
circulate. Pleased with the young
girl's pretty face and winning manner,
the merchant raised her to the post
of confidential secretary, and for an
hour each day she "took" dictation
in his private office, says- the NewYork
Herald. Her employer's manner,
always kindly, soon developed
into familiarity of the sort described
as "fatherly," and he fell into the
habit of interspersing his dictation
with phrases of encomium and cheer.
All this was pleasing to the trusting
young stenographer, who was already
beginning to dream of wealth,
luxury and the other symbols of that
"perfect love" that marriage alone
can bestow, when suddenly she learned
that Jabez had a wife.
All night long she planned and
plotted for revenge, and the next day
this letter was forwarded to a house
that had long maintained intimate
business relations with the firm of
Jabez Onderdonk & Co.:
Messrs. Marriott, Dalton & Co.,
Baltimore, Md.?Gentlemen: We beg
to acknowledge receipt of your esteemed
favor of 6th instant, (You've
got very pretty hands, my dear) and
in reply would say that the goods
will be shipped not later than Tuesday.
(How would you like to take
in the "Henpecks" with your old
Bunny to-night?)
We trust that when next in our
city you will favor us with a call.
(We'd better have dinner together,
and you can telephone to your mother
that you'll have to work late.)
We're expecting some new importations
that we should be glad to show
you before placing them on the market.
(Did you ever think about going
on the stage yourself? I bet
you'd look grand.) Hoping to receive
a continuance of your orders, we remain,
yours very truly,

Former Fireman Wholesale Slayer.
Hartford, Conn., Jan. 30.?After
indulging in a wild outbreak at Collinsville,
to-day, during which he
shot and perhaps fatally wounded his
wife, attempted to shoot his sisterin-law,
set fire to their home, and
held off a posse until the house was
destroyed, John Keneflc, a former local
fireman, is a prisoner here tonight.
He t '.ef finally to end his
own life, but had exhausted his last
bullet when he snapped the revolver
against his forehead.
Kenefic has been separated from
his wife for some time. To-day he
went to the home of Arthur Johnson,
his father-in-law, in Collinsville,
to see her. After saying that he knew
he was "queer" and that he did not
blame her for not living with him,
the man suddenly drew a revolver
and pointed at the baby. His sisterin-law
grabbed the child and fled
frnm tho room, followed by a bullet
that struck the doorway. He then
threatened his mother-in-law, who
escaped by a rear door, and later
turned on his wife, who was on her
knees, begging him not to shoot her
mother.
Kenefic forced his wife into a corner
of the room and fired twice at
her, both shots taking effect in the
neck and arm.
He then set the house afire, and
taking the baby from the place it had
been hidden, went to the door. Holding
the child before him as a shield,
he made his way to a tree from behind
which he exchanged 40 or more
shots with a posse. After attempting
to shoot himself, Kenefic surrendered.
Many Things Happen.
Orangeburg is a great county for
running a newspaper in; so many
things happen down there. Last
week, for instance, two negro men
struck a horse that a young white
lady was driving; two lads of "prominent"
families burned down a fine
schoolhouse; a white man was committed
to jail for breaking into a
store; white men in Branchville
"shot up the town" and went into
* * 1 J
tne nign scnuoi ctnu wiwacu
piano; a white man was arrested
charged with burning another white
man's house and then died suddenly,
supposed from taking poison.
Not content with all these happenings,
numbers of white people down
there want to reestablish the dispensary.?Newberry
