Miller a telephone superintendent in an uptown hotel, at an carlv hour t himorning aroused the occupants of the apartment house where he lived in east Forty-third street, by shouting that some one had been shot. Horace Hodden living in the adjoining apartment, rushed out and followed Yliller to the latter's dining room, where a woman supposed to be Millers wife, fully dressed, and unconscious, was lying on the floor Miller fell to his knees and begged her to say she had shot herself, but there was no response. Hcdden hurried out for help. Returning a few minutes later with a policem \n and a doctor, he found the woman dead and Yliller gone. An all day search has failed to locate the man. There were no signs of a struggle. The woman's clothing was scorched by the flash of powder, but, the police say, there was no trace of powder on her lingers.

Tttanksflrivine Straw Hide. A number of the advanced and more advanced school girls of the town, and others of no less beauty and importance, accompanied by an equal number of [not beautiful] but handsome and jolly young men assembled at the modern homo of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Spivey, where they waited until all arrived. Tht wagons now being ready, the drivers with whip in hand, in extreme awkwardnoss, (for they were unaccustomed to driving such teams) drove to and down Main street to third avenue, whero they set out for a beautiful hillside on the vVaccamaw road about two miles from town at which point the writer, because of the mutuality of each and every one to join and assist in ihe suggested games, was reminded of by gone days where running base, drop the handkerchief, go front and face your lover, kiss and never tell, where all played in unother grove, where sat a log academy. While thi} occasion of scrambling over fruit, playing running base, and the boys tussleing over cane was not exactly like those spoken of above, yet, at the same time, it did resem ble them a little. Soon the (piestion was sprung as to who the prettiest young lady and most handsome young mas was, aud there was probably more excitement and certainly more electioneering over that, than over any subject, tlie cane scuffle not excepted: as this distinction was much desired by each and every one. it was sug gested that it be decided by vote and when each and overy one had wisely put his ballot, wo, for there were about thirty, found that Miss liurbageand Mr. Bpivoy had receivi ed Mattering votes for which they, with only an air of dignity, thanked . the whole of the crowd. At this junctureourleader informed us that it was time to go to town, k and wc all took our respective places f in the one and two hor^o stays and soon the faithful steeds shambled us into town and all in high spirits ' returned to their several places of ' abode. Wo present our many thanks to i Miss Sweet for planning and worki ing up this occasion. The having of Mr. J. H. and Prof. . S. A.
