New York. .Tan. 3.?The town of 2 Hastings-on-Hudson received a tremendous shock yesterday when 3 Sheldon Vanderburgh, descendentt of a famous Knickerbcker family, t! sold his father's estate on the Albany Post road to a negro colonizer. Young Vanderburgh threatened to permit the old homestead to become the resident of several negro families a week ago, but his fashionable neighbors didn't believe him. They ' said the circulars he sent broadcast had been written in pique, and that - never, never, never would be "desecrate the neighborhood." The circular set forth that the rich neighbors had conspired to lorce a foreclosure of an $8,000 mortgage held by Charles D. Millard of Tarrytown for some persons unknown. and that these persons hoped to bid in the property January 6, for the amount of the mortgage. .Neighbors Sent Bidders to Sale. ! This. Vanderburgh declared. he would not permit if he had to find ? negroes willing to pay more. So he : called a forced sale, and this was attended yesterday by representatives of the neighbors, who remain, ed at home, hoping their agents ?night be able to bid in the property for a reasonable sum. Alexander Vanderburgh made a large fortune in this city selling wooden type and his son was sorely disappointed when his father's will left every cent of his fortune to charity. This forced Vanderburgh to make his own living and he took to carpentry. He is an excellent carpenter today, making fair wages. ; Young \ anderburgh managed to hold the homestead until the mortgage was foreclosed. Then he be came angry and sent out the circular. He said he was being persecuted. Billie Burke is Incensed. One of the show houses on the Post road is owned by Miss Billie Burke, the actress. Miss Burke spoke her mind freely when she heard her new neighbors might be negroes. "It is the most outrageous thing I ever heard of," she said. 41 don't understand how these things can be accomplished in this country. It could never occur in England." i Mr. Fender's Accident. We have learned further particulars of the accident which happened to Mr. J. H. Fender, of the Ehrhardt section. He lost three fingers, one of one hand and two on the oth- : er. He was leaning on the gun, with both hands on the muzzle, and a child and dog were playing around him. The gun was a hammerless one, and the safety was not on. Some one passed along the road and he turned his head to speak to them, when the gun fired, he does not know how. But the turning away of his head certa nly saved his life. As it was a few shot lodged in his face and neck, but the most serious wounds are to his hands Thev were both badly mangled, and he has suffered intensely since the accident. Kis many friends sincerely hope he v.*ili ' make a good recovery and that ne will not be disabled as a result. * Ep worth League. The Trinity Epworth Lecgue held I an interesting new year meeting Tuesday evening at the church. Mr. Guilds made a ' fine talk on a cii> cumspect walk. After a call by the pastor for workers for local missionary service, six young woman volunteered for the work. A mission study class was projected. Eight young people promised to become members. Prof. Merchant F will be leader. ; New Schedule. Commencing with last Sunday . morning there was a change in the , schedule of one of the trains pass s ing Bamberg, but all others remain the same. The morning train arrives at 9.37 as formerly, but the train go. ing West in the morning now arrives ^ at 11:42, about ^thirty minutes laier than formerly. The afternoon and I night trains remain the same. 6: u7 and 8:17. Mails do not close at the post office until about ten minutes 1 before the arrival of the trains, and patrons are urged to mail their let' ters at the post office and not on ~ the trains. It does not increase Lie business of the office or the salary of 3 the postmaster, but it does help the f mail clerks on the trains who have - to work very hard. The mail for the last t?ain at night closes at eiglit o'clock, all others about ten minutes e before the trains are due. We only 5 allow enough time for the mails to ? carried to the station. .Mr. W. P. Jones is now in the West 2 buying three car loads of mules for .Tones Bros. This will be the largest shipment ever made to Bamberg at t one time. They will have a fine lot - oi animais. so \\aii ana see mem, ror | they can sure suit you.?adv. | MRS. HITE SEES ATTORNEY. Hatesburg Woman Delighted at Husband's Recovery. Lexington, January G.?Mrs. Ella Belle Hite, the pretty Batesburg woman who is now confined in the Lexington county jail charged with being an accomplice to the shooting 1 of her husband, J. Milton Hite. 011 < the night of December 6, last, was several hours to-day in consultation with her attorney, E. L. Asbill, of Leesville, who has been retained b}' ] her relatives to look after her de fence. Mr. Asbill refused to discuss the case further than to say that Mrs. Hite was very much elated over the fact that her husband is getting well ^ rapidly and that his permanent recovery is hoped for. Walter E. Gurganous, who is charged as being principal in the crime, was yesterday released on bail. It is probable that Mrs. Hite's counsel will ask for bail at an early date. SELLS GOLD IX HE It TEETH Her Husband Losing His Situation, Woman Makes Sacrifice. A Pontiac, Michigan, dentist ceils this story: A woman, whose name was not given out. in the days of the prosperity attendant on "a steady job" held by the head of the house, came to him and had a god deal of v work done on her teeth. A number % or gold ninngs were maae ana me t bill paid. The husband lost his place. A lit- d tie credit was obtained for the neces- p sities of life, but horror of debt was I o strong in the household. There were a little mouths to be filled, though, and c the harassed mother cast about for e some help, too proud to ask for charity. It was then that she reappeared in the dentist's office and asked him 1 to extract the gold from her teetn f3 and buy it, that she might be able 11 to buy food and fuel for the weeks 5 before the better times promised ^ "the first of the year." a The case has been brought before some persons who will do what they can for the family.
