/ SUFFERS (KISHIXG DEFEAT. i Exhibition (?anu* With .Springfield 1 Je- I suits Disastrously. Manager Thomas's 'boys suffered one ot' their most crushing defeats of the season Thursday afternoon at Rhcad park at. the hands of the Springfield team in an exhibition game which we take pleasure in announcing did not counjt in the league standing. The final score of the catastrophe was 6 to 0. The Springfield team completely outclassed the loeal boys in every department of play, and Pollock with his wide cornfield out curve had ti.em eaung from his hand. Xo less than five double plays were pulled off by the winners and no such great exhibition of ball playing has been furnished by any visiting team at Rhoad park this year. Every break went against the Bamberg team, but to give credit where it is due, it must be said that some of those breaks were superinduced by exremely brilliant fielding on the part A the visiters.

They came with blood in their eyes to get revenge for the defeat administered to them in Springfield two weeks ago by the local team, and sweet revenge it was. < The visitors began the agony by slamming Kitts's offerings'to all corrers of the lot, an uncomfortable number of hits and one error netting them four tallies in the first round. 1 In this inning the visiting team had each man to take his turn at bat, four runs coming over, three outs and two men left on bases They followed this up throughout the game with fielding that woud lick any team in the world under a four run handicap. If Springfield did not play above form in this game they have the best amateur ball team in South^ Carolina. They also continued their smashing drives and forced Kitts to retire after the fourth tragedy. The home -boys did not play a bad fielding game, but no ball game can be put on the right side of the ledger without a run and precious few will go there with a to- 1 tal of four widely scattered bingles. There's the secret of our downfall in this game, but probably the batting slump is over now and the home hopes can be confidently counted upon to make some good pitchers feel cheap before many more games are entered on the pages of athletic his- j tory. "Gyp" Rentz earned more laurels tor himself by a dandy catch of a foul right at the visitors' bench and, too, got one of the four hits off stingy Pollock. Schultz pitched fine ball after relieving Kitts in the fifth inning. And the entire visiting team starred. Only one hom? player reached third.

NEGRO KILLS TWO. ______ Joshua Williams Kills Wife and Wife's Aunt. Two were killed and one mortally i wounded on last Monday afternoon . ' when Joshua Williams, colored, ran amuck and slaughtered his wife and his wife's aunt and shot a negro man N ^ named Henry Roberts through the neck and shoulder. Roberts is still alive but with little hopes of recovery. There were no eye witnesses except two or three small children and the details are very conflicting as given by parties who were on hand after the killing. It seems, however, that Williams was of a very weak mind and was given to spells of temporary abberation, and it-is thought i' " . that the slaughter occurred during one of these attacks. v The details of the manner im which he killed his wife and others is very - harrowing. It is said that he first crushed his wife's head with an axe / then laid her on a bed and shot her five times through the body. This is the information gained from two of his children who were present at the time of the crime. He then ran down the old aunt of his wife, a very old woman of about seventy-five and shot her down in the road. He then walked up the road to the house of Henry Roberts where he found the latter sitting at the table eating. s He proceeded to shoot him, firing only one shot, it seems. The wholesale killing was committed 'just over the line in Allendale county, near Martin, but it was 1--J * /-v cvri ff TCftVS nrst ryyui tt/u tu _ Sanders, of Barnwell county, who C with his deputies rushed to the scene of the crime. Sheriff Bennett, of Allendale, was then notified and ?. reached the place just a little later. In the meantime, however, Joshua had been making good time to a place of safety, thus showing considerably more intelligence than he is given credit for having. A posse of men from Allendale and Barnwell spent the entire night searching the swamps for the man but were > unsuccessful. They were so hot on his trail, though, that Josh decided that discretion was the better part of valor and taking the train at ~nelling he went to arnwell and gave himself up to Jailor Main. A party lookii.g for Williams passed tkrougn Snelling at the time he was there waiting for the train but they were so sure that he would not come out in the open that they didn't think or^insT to thft denot to look for auuui. buius vV ? him. They had found out, through J a nephew of his, that he was trying to make his way to the home of his brother, Henry Williams, near Barnwell and were following that trail. Sheriff Bennet went to .the Barnwell county jail and talked with Williams. The sheriff says that he is apparently without . intelligence as he would answer none of his questions and acted very strangely. It seems that a few weeks previous to this Joshua had had one of his bad spells and his wife had taken him to his brother and insisted that he be sent to the asylum. He became quiet, however, and promised to do beUer. This promise he evidently forgot to keep or else hemust have been a terible "nigger" before.?AJIendale Citizen. ^ ^ tmt ?

Madden, lieutenant in the recent great war, killed himself here Saturday night about 8 o'clock "by hanging himself with a leather strap," according to the verdict of jury of inquest, F. H. Ciinkscales, foreman. He left nothing to indicate the cause of his deed. It is reported that he had made threats of ending his life and had been very despondent. Prof. S. M. Martin,- who was one of the first to> reach him, thinks that Madden tied his belt around his neck and then to the cross piece of the iron bed and broke his neck by throwing himself off the bed. Mr. Madden, who was 34 years old, was a lieutenant in the recent war., He was in business in Anderson before and since the war, but was at the home of his mother at Clemson College for a wrhilo iT-T o loft hie wifo anr1 a fnilT* months old son.
