SHOT FIRST.
Two Would be Assassins Killed
and Wounded by Their
INTENDED VICTIM.
Tillman Barnes and Joe Barnes, Two
^ Colored Farm Hands and Brothers,
Tried to Assassinate Mr. Morgan,
Near Augusta, Ga? But He Surprised
Them, Killing One and Badly
Woundfug the Other.
At an earlv hour Sunday morning
week ago, says the Augusta Herald,
two negro brothers, Joe and Tillman
Barnes, went to the door of Mr. R.
J. Morgan, in this countv. and
him out with the intention of murdering
him. Mr. Morgan, with suspicions
aroused, went out his back
door and came around the side of
the house.
Tillman was standing 011 the
ground with a revolver in his hand,
while Joe was on the porch with an
open knife. Mr. Morgan ordered the
former to drop his weapon, and in
anyver the negro levelled it to shoot.
fllr. Morgan's pistol spoke barely
in time, and Tillman Barnes dropped
with a bullet through the heart. Joe
rushed from the porch with open
knife and was met by a bullet which
penetrated his right lung. He is at
the Lamar Hospital in a dying condition.
Mr. Morgan's residence is on the
Dean Bridge road, six miles from
Augusta. Coroner Ramsey held an
inquest at the scene of the shooting,
and the jury brought in a verdict of
justiflcable homicide.
The trouble began several days ago
when Mr. Morgan's house was burglarized.
He had strong reasons to
suspect the negroes of the crime, and
after an investigation reported the
matter to the city and county police
and orders were given for the arrest
of the suspects. The negroes knew of
this action, and it is believed it constituted
their motive for the attempted
murder.
Saturday night Mr. Morgan was
kept away from home until a very
late hour hv the aiftkn??i r?f ? nonr
relative. It was just as he had reached
home, sometime after one o'clock,
and was preparing to enter by the
back door, according to his usual
custom, that he heard a knock at the
front door.
He responded by asking who was
there. Joe Barnes answered that
it was he and that he wanted to
have a talk with Mr. Morgan, and
asked him to come to the door. With
suspicions thoroughly aroused Mr.
Morgan procured a pistol and quietly
stole through the back door, and approached
the negroes from the corner
of the house. Keeping well in
the shadow he saw Tillman Barnes
standing on the ground near the
porch with a arawn revolver. The
other brother was on the porch at the
door with a K???ie drawn and ready
to cut Mr. Morgan to pieces the moment
he opened the door.
Wishing still to give the men a
chance for their lives, Mr. Morgan
called out,
"Barnes, isn't that a pistol in your
hand? Drop it!"
"Yes, By G?d, it is," answered
the black, and levelled the weapon.
It was his last word on earth.
He dropped with a jagged hole
drilled through his murderous heart.
With a yell Joe Barnes was upon
the white man with his gleaming
knife, but he was arrested midway in
his course by another shot which will
probably send him to meet his brother
in Hades.
The verdict of the coroner's jury
was a full and complete exoneration
of Mr. Morgan. Me is well-known
In Angnsta and throughout Richmond
county, and is a brother-in-law
of Patrolman George Wolfe.

Five I>ie in Kxplosion of Carload of
Powder.
Five persons are dead as the result
of an explosion of a carload of
giant gunpowder on the Chicago,
Indiana and Southern railroad at
Boise, Idaho, Friday afternoon.
A car, loaded with matches, caught
afire, and a crowd gathered. It is
supposed that the burning matches
set off the powder in the adjoining
car. The explosion was felt for 20
miles, and many windows were broken.

THE REASON WHY
Work Has Been Stopped on the i
Electric Railway.
South Carolina Public Service Corporation
Meets with Opposition in I
Some Towns.
A dispatch from Spartanburg re- ^
cently stated that the engineering
corps of the South Carolina Public
Service Corporation, which has headquarters
In Charleston, had discontinued
all field work. The surveying
corps has been at work for some
seven months and extensive surveys
have been made.
It was said in the dispatch that
the cause of calling in the engineers 1
from the field was tardiness shown I
by some' cities through which it was <
proposed that the road passes in '
granting franchises. The News and ?
Courier says: Mr. C. R. Van Etten, !
general manager, when asked about '
the discontinuance of work iu Spartanburg
gave out the following state- <
ment: <
"A number of towns have already
granted franchises that are fair and
equitable to all parties, but there are
several towns where franchises are
being held up that may necessitate a
change in route. In some cases the
limitations and restrictions are such
as would make the investment of
capital a matter of questionable prudence.
"Some of the conditions imposed
are typical of the position that has
been taken by the city of Chicago.
The street tail way situation at that
point Is eloquent of its results.
"The city of New Yorkk has recently
been unable to find any one
willing to undertake t lie building
and operation of further subway railroads
under similar limitations and
restrictions.
"If these conditions retard investment
in centres of deuce population
and heavy traffic they will be found
prohibitive in smaller communities,
and we are therefore obliged to await
action in the cities concerned before
further plans can be definitely determined."
A letter has been issueu by the ,
South Carolina Public Service Corporation
to the commitees co-operating
with the corporation in a number
of towns and cities in the state, announcing
the discontinuance of the (
field work until satisfactory franchises
have been grated. The letter
is signed by the vice president and
general manager of the corporation,
and the following is a copy: ,
T have received the following instructions
from the executive committee
of our board of directors:
" 'On account of opposition that
has developed in certain municipalities
to granting franchises that will
permit the corporation to construct
11 o roUrnorl uiul t ro nou/?t ii m l\nal nouo
VO I UIII VUU ItllU tl It UOUV< U 1I.O i;UOIIl\yOO
on reasonable terms you will discontinue
active work in the field until
such time as the lines being surveyed
are practicable of construction.'
"As matters now stand several
changes may become necessary. It
is manifestly unfair, both to the corporation
and the property owners
with whom rights of way are being
negotiated, to establish a line that
subsequently might be abandoned for
want of franchise in adjacent towns.
In the mutual interests of all conecorned
I would, therefore, respectfully
ask that the committee in any
town where the franchises are being
withheld use their good offices towards
an early solution of this difficulty."
The News and Courier says "the
construction of the electric lines
through the state, which have been
proposed by the South Carolina Public
Corporation, would mean a great
deal for the development of the state
and it is earnestly hoped that matters
may be so arranged that the preliminary
work can be pushed forward
until completed."
That is very true, and as soon as
the work of constructioni is commenced
the Public Service Corporation
will find no trouble of getting
the right of way and other privileges
desired. The people are afraid that
it is only a promoting scheme, and
they are slow to give such a conccern
anything. Put if the public is convinced
that the company mean business
there will be no trouble.

WANT A ROW. I
The Japs Are Mad and May Da- 1
mand an Apology
FROM THIS COUNTRY. I
iVasliington Officials Are Surprised I
At tho Attitude of the Japs, and
Can Figure Out No Act That In
Likely To Have Ke-opened a Dispute
That Has Hern Considered As
(Closed.
A dispatch from Tokio, Japan, says
i deputation from the progressive
;>arty in Japan personally urged Fordgu
Minister Hayashi to tuke action
to prevent a reoccurrence of antiJapanese
outbreaks in San Francisco
and explain the government's apparent
inaction in ihe recent outbreak.
The oppositnon Japanese newspapers
prominently quote Count
Okurna as urging the< concentration
of Japanese national efforts toward
the settlement of what is known as
the San Francisco question; that Japan
should demand a public apology
from the mayor of San Francisco,
and also that the Japanese should receive
treatment similar to that given
to Anglo-Saxons in the United States.
It is said by the Japanese, who
seem determined to pick a row with
the United States, that herein lies tho
sole hope of definitely settling the
question. Otherwise, if necessary,
demonstrative measures will bo tak
en which It will be Impossible to regard
as precipitate in the circumstances.
Seven Japanese university professors,
famous for agitation in molding
public opinion before the war with
Russia and during the period when
the peace negotiations were in progress.
are again bestiring themselves,
although, this time, in the direction
of a generally more stalwart foreign
policy, including Japan's dealings
with Korea and China.
It is said that the opposition, by
means of public meetings and otherwise
soon will begin a campaign
against the Caionji ministry on the
basis that is is showing itself too
conciliatory, and too much disposed
to make concessions in the matter of
the persecution of Japanese in San
Francisco.
Leading Japanese persons in and
out of politics seem to have a feeling
of apprehension regarding Japan's*
future relations with the United
States. The action of the progressives
is believed to indicate a desire
of certain elements in Japan to make
the issue with the United States
prominent.
Japanese belligerency over the
Francisco affair caused surprise in
ofllcial Washington, chiefly because
no incident of recent date could be
suspected of having served to re-o|>en
what was generally considered a bit
of ancient history, tlenernl Kuroki's
recent tour through the country, with
its attendant felicitations and expressions
of good will, had strengthened
the friendly feeling of Americans
toward their Oriental neighbors
to such an extent that the reports of
belated indignation in .Japan came as
rather a severe shock.
As it stands, the state department
is on record as having informed the
Japanese government of all the facts
it had been able to secure, all tending
to show that that last trouble in San
Francisco was merely an incident to
the great railroad strike, with its
accompanying riots.
In the case of the school question,
the state department did point out
the limitation imposed upon the federal
government by the constitution
and its dealing with individual states
but it had reason to suppose, from
the reception according its notea and
in Tokio, that the Japanese government
fully understood the situation
of the federal government here and
was satisfied with the arrangement
of the school question obtained by
the president and Secretary Root by
the exercise of almost extra-official
influence upon the legal authorities
of San Francisco.
Hence, the officials here can only
conjecture that there has not been a
publication in Japan of all the official
correspondence, which, it is believed,
would favorably affect public opinion
toward the United States.
The attacks upon Japanese restaurants
and bath-houses in Sau Francisco
are still under investigation by
the State authorities of California,
and when that inquiry is con
eluded doubtless me japanese k?#vernment
will be informed of the result,
and, if necessary, a proper expression
of regret will be made.
A Ql' 10Kit CHANGE.
A Man Accused of Making His Sister
Swallow Needles.
Forcing his sister to swallow needles
is tho queer charge brought
against a man living at Tassin, in the
department of the Rhone, France.
The slater who ia twenty-two years
old declares that he made her swallow
needles which he stuck in pears
and oranges, because he wanted to
get rid of her in order to add her
share of the fortune to his own.
When she was taken to the hospital,
not fewer than 7 2 needles were
extracted from the girls body, and
more were taken from her afterward.
Although she has suffered
fearful agony, her life is not in danger.

tlce Joseph Kennql of Weehawken,

of himself and family. Between the
wall and a chest of drawers In the
office was found a bomb containing
sufficient dynamite and giant gunpowder
to have wrecked the whole
house and blown the occupants to
atoms.
The office of the Justice is on the
Hackensack Plank lload, near the
West Shore station at New Durham.
It is a room in the two-story frame
building he uses as his residence. In
addition to the Justice, who is sixty
years old, his wife and three children
and his mothe-in-law there are three
boarders in the house.
The office is a semi-public place to
which outsiders have access. About f>
o'clock in the evening the Justice
noticed what he thought was a string
sticking out from the space between
the wall and the chest of drawers.

piece of the fuse w\.s used. A bright
(lame flashed the instant the spark
readied the stone.
There was according to tlie ponce,
enough explosive in the hon\b to have
killed the whole family and demolished
the house. After this, the police
looked around for a means by
which the bomb could have been exploded,
and belleveu they found it
in its location. The machine was so
placed that, it was only a few inches
from the telephone on the wall, and
directly beneath it. They believe the
men who placed it. there planned to
connect it with the telephone in some
manner so that whoever rang the
'phone after the connection was
made would have been blown up.
There was dust on the bomb, and
the opinion is that is was placed
there at least two days ago.
Justice Kennel in the past lias been
very severe on members of the Black
Hand brought before him. Ho has
held them all for the higuer courts
and many threats have been made
against him just as they were against
justice Cortese, of Patterson, who
was blown up in his office.
Several times he has been warned

the Patterson tragedy that the police
were quietly warned that Justice
Kennel might be next. Nothing came
of uie warning, hut while the police
were on the alert, and the friends of
the Justice, while not permitting him
to know it, never allowed him to be
alone when "liiack Hand" cases were
being investigated.
Some of the men the justice has
held for the higher courts have received
sentences, and it is thought in
some circles that their friends planned
to kill Kennel. The failure of
the plot to work is ascribed to the
men having been frightened away
before they had the opportunity to
make the necessary fuse connections
with the 'phone.
Three months ago four men found
with dynamite in their possession
were sent to prison for three months
by the justice. They were suspected
of being members of a gang of
thieves that was dynamiting railroad
cars when unable to pick the
locks.
The sentences of this quartette expired
a couple of days ago. They
have been released from prison, and
in this the police and the justice see
a coincidence that may prove to be
a clue.

Four thousand people were killed
tn an earthquake in the province of
Using Kiang, China, recently. The
first news of the catasrophe was
brought to America last week by the
steamer Shawmut on Its arrival at
Victoria, B. C. Tlie officers report
that a telegram announcing the disaster
was received at Toklo, Japan,
frotn I'ekln, just before the vessel
set sail. It reported that many inhabitants
of the province were left
without homes and food by the -.saster
and that suffering was intense.
The province of Using Kiang lies
in the tibet region, and comprises
nearly the whole of Central Asia. It
is thickly populated, but beyond all
telegraphic communication. The news
of the disaster was carried for many
miles by runners before it could bo
telegraphed to flu* emnress dowaeer
at Pekin. Urgent instructions were
Issued to the governors of neighboring
provinces to take Measures to relieve
the distress. It Is now reported
that thousands of injured lost their
lives through exposure and hunger
and on account of lack of proper
care.
The entire city of Hslng Kinng.
capital of the province of the same
name, is in ruins. It is located in
the northern part of the province in
a deep valley surrounded on all sides
by towering mountains of volcanic
origin. It is one of the most remote
of Chinese cities and the home of tho
most progressive architects of the em
pi re.
Many of its buildings ure construct
ed from stone and brick, manufactured
by crude devices. The city Itself
is surrounded by a wail. Most of
the buildings were thrown down,
crushing their occupants to death in
their crowded quarters. The town
wall is also In ruins.
Hsing is tho capital of a province
which luis nd area of 585,500 square
miles. Its valleys are fertile beyond
description. Its inhabitants are numbered
by millions, though the exact
number has never been ascertained.
Under ordinary conditions food could

all supplies that could be spared have
been disposed of for the relief of
famine stricken regions.
