A funeral, with all the necessary accoutrements, except the most Important of all, the corpse, was the strango situation at Eldora, Pa Undertakers, pallbearers, mourners, friends, preachers, carriages, a full funeral cortege in fact were there, but no body to be buried. The "remains" had been lost on the way from Lancaster, and could not be found. The funeral was that of a colored woman, Annie Boyer, who died in Lancaster. The body was carried by trolley to Quarryville and was to have been transferred to the Lancaster, Oxford & Southern railroad, thence taken to Eldora station. In some unaccountable manner this transfer slipped up, and when the funeral party boarded the train the body was left on the trollev. Flnnl ly the undertaker arranged to drive back to Quarryville, where the mining casket was found at the trolley depot, and after a delay of six hours the services were held as originally planned.

MAKES LONG FLIGHT In His Flying Muehino lie Kueeessfully Meets the Government Fmluruncc Test ami Breaks the W iirid s .Aeroplane Keened tor Two Men us to Time aiul Distance. A dispatch from Washington says tho world's areoplane record for two men as to both time and distance was broken Tuesday evening in a beautiful (light of one hour, twelve minutes and forty seconds ? upwards of fifty miles and at a speed averaging about forty miles an hour, by Orville Wright at Fort Myer, with Lieut Frank P. Lahm, of the army signal corps, as a passenger. The former record was made last year by his brother, Wilbur, joint inventor, with him of the machine in which both achievements were performed at LeMans, France, with Prof. Painleve, of the French Institute, as passenger. That llight was one hour, nine minutes and thirty-one seconds. Wilbur was an eager spectator of the llight by his brother. 'Pli? ..ImA.'ln.r ,..1,1,.I, tli , X ?1|J V IIUV I HIP) V? III* II IH"I <\ IUI U I ll?" setting of a new mark in the conquest of the air was led by President Taft in person, who had sat ail in- I tensely interested spectator throughout the (light, and who insisted at its conclusion upon personally coibgrat ulating the brothers upon their success. This success was all-important to the V* rights, in that it completed 'lie Prat of two crucial tes 9 of ?hei" machine imposed upon them by the United States Government?(ho fiicalled "endurance tosf, ' wh'c'.i ioquired them to remain one hour continuouly In the air with one passenger. Orvillo did nearly thirteen miuutes better than that, and could have kept on Indefinitely?three hours and a half, the limit imposed by the gasoline capacity of the supply tank. Poignancy was added to Monday's achievement of Orville Wright by the realization by everybody present that upon his last attempt to navigate the air with a passenger, that passenger, Lieut. Selfridge, was 1 killed and he himself terribly injured. Hie devoted sister, Miss (Catherine Wright, who nursed him through the period of his recovery from that disaster anxiously watched him Monday from the doorway of the shed where the aeroplane is kept, and when he returned unhurt from his filght, gripped him eagerly by the arm, nestled her face against his breast and said "Bully for you, brother, It was beautiful." It is a question whether this word of praise was not more to him man that which came a few minutes later, when the President of the United States, who had waited for him at the other end of the great parade grounds, took him warmly by the hand, and with the other grasping that of his brother, Wilbur, said: "I congratulate you heartily, sir. It was a great exhibition. You beat the world's record." "Yes, sir," replied Orville, evidently embarrassed. "1 beat my brother's record." The President and everybody in the crowd about joined in the laughter at this sally. H I f n W /I M VAlIt* nnfio/\r? <v/v? J 1 . .X. < v >\ ; <'111 imnni ilf^ci CUIlllllUl himself? Did he talk to the motorman?" asked the President. "He behaved very well," replied the aviator. "Well, I congratulate both of you, ' and I thank you for the privilege of witnessing such a flight," added the President, and again shaking hands with the brothers, he entered his automobile and rode away,* amid cheers. "1 was nervous at first," said Orville after the flight. "You know this was my first attempt with a passenger since?since last year. Gradually |the machine found herself, however, and I felt as sure as if f had been swung at the end of a string, with no such problem as di rent Ion or elevation or speed to solve. I could hear Lieut. Lahm at first, hut the terrible racket of the motor soon deadened my ears, and we abandoned all attempts at conversation. I did not intend to land is abruptly as I did, and was trying some low flying. 1 misjudged the elevation and before I knew it we struck the ground. I could have remained up another hour or so, but there was no necessity. I am satisfied with the flight and with having surpassed my brother's record." Lightning Kills Mule. Mr. Reeder Pitts of Newherry county had a $200 mule, a fine animal, killed by lightning a day or two ago.

The lluslmnd of a Divorced Woman Kills llcr Former Husband About Their Child. A terrible tragedy was enacted at Little Hock., Ark., on Tuesday. Shooting over the head of United States Senator Jeffries Davis, W. Y. Ellis, a resident of Pine Illuff, fired a hulllet into the heart of Nathaniel Parker Willis, owner of a liquor euro at Indianapolis, Ind., in the I Circuit Court room at Little Hock i Tuesday afternoon. The shooting was the tragic ending of a lawsuit brought by Willis against his divorced wife, who had subsequently married Ellis, for the possession of his child. Willis died almost instantly after he was shot in the arms of his mother, who was waiting across the room, and rushed towards him as he fell in the hallway outside of the court room. Willis secured his divorce a number of years ago, and recently started the litigation for the possession of the child. Monday he secured an order from Circuit Judge Fulk to take possession of the child, who has been for the past ten days in the custody of an uncle at Pine Bluff and Tuesday the parties to the suit met in the court room to decide where the child was to he delivered. 1011 is appeared for his wife, the former Mrs. Willis, and Senator Davis represented Willis. While J lid Re Folk was seated at a table in the court room, discussing with Senator Davis the conditions of the transfer of the child, j FUis pulled a revolver from his j pocket and fired point blank at Ellis. I who was seated across the table. A court attache knocked up his arm just as the weapon was discharged I and the bullet was embedded in the wall. Willis ran round the table, with Ellis close at his heels. The latter rested his pistol against the door jamb Just as Willis ran out and fired a second time. Willis fell to the floor, dying, clasped in his mother's arms. Sheriff Roberts seised Ellis, pulling him Into an ante room to prevent any further shooting. He surrendered his pistol to Judge Fulk and was at once taken to Jail. Relatives of the man killed have been summoned to Little Rock. Following the shooting those In an adjoining room scrambled for an outlet, and in the eubseqeunt excitement serious injury to several was narrowly averted. Two attempted to leap from a window but were restrained. That Senator Davis had a close call Is declared by those in the room at the time. Several assert that the first bullet passed through his coat. Explaining a rent in hie garment, however, Senator Davis declares that it was torn by catching on an edge of the table as he hastily arose. BURGLAR SHOT POLICEMAN. Was Making His Usual Rounds When He Was Fired At. Night Officer G. E. Montgomery, of the Tifton, Ga., police force, was shot and seriously wounded by a negro burglar. Montgomery was making his usual rounds just after midnight, and was going down the alley between Maine and Railroad streets. As he was passing in the rear of the dry goods store occupied by H. Nathan, he was fired upon from the doorway, the bullet taking effect in his right shoulder. Three shots were fired, only one taking effect. It is supposed that Montgomery accidentally walked upon the burglars while they were at work, and was shot by the lookout they left at the door.

L. (i. Ilroughton, of Atlanta, a Wilful, Malicious, Vicious hint*. Some of the Georgia legislators who are now in session in Atlanta got hot on Tuesday and said some very naughty things. The trouble began when Anderson, of Savannah, who is fighting the near-beer bill, arose to a question of personal privilege. He was white-faced, trembling, and had to moisten his lips several times before he found his voice. "I notice," he began, "that a local minister named the Kev. Len (J. Hroughton, is quoted in the press as having said in a sermon that 1 was fighting the near-beer bill because I had bought stock in a Savannah brewery after the prohibition bill was passed, and that I was the only man in the State who had made money out of prohibition in Georgia. I desire to say that this preacher is a wilful, malicious, reckless, malignant and vicious liar. I fully expected to be assailed and villi fled when 1 obeyed my constituents' will and opposed the Alexander bill. Hut I never even dreamed that a minister of the Gosped, a follower of Him who preached charity and taught truth, would stoop to bccomo a slanderer and a common liar. "In the first place, no Savannah brewery, nor stock in one bas been sold since prohibition went into effect. Hence this is another lie of the reverend hypocrite. About fifteen years ago I bought ten shares in a Savannah brewery, and paid $100 a share. I was out of the State when the prohibition bill passed, and when I returned and tried to sell my stock, I could not. It is now worth about $50 or $60 a share, but cannot be sold. "This Alexander bill is a aew prohibition bill, and we already have the strongest prohibition bill ever drafted, it it be not enforced, then it is l)fW411RO (ho ndlonro orn ? ??x/ XX *aa V/V/I u V 11 14" gent and the people do not want it enforced. I have never placed as much aa a straw in the way of its enforcement. But you know you cannot enforce an unpopular -law."-] Anderson sat down in a breathless silence, and little Representative J. A. Slade, slight, dignified and ministerial looking, arose. Slade is from Muskogee county, and is a Baptist minister, the same denomination which Broughton serves. Every one expected a hitter retort to Anderson's outburst. What was the astonishment of all, then, when Slade went further than Anderson in denouncing his fellow clergyman. "I was astonished and insulted," he said, "to hear the slander heaped upon a worthy member of this Legislature by a man who professes to be a minister of the Gospel. I am a Missionary Baptist preacher. I believe in and practice temperance, but do not believe in prohibition. In the nnnie of all good Baptist, however, I want to resent this attack upon Mr. Anderson by a long-haired, loud mouthed, itinerant preacher, who has done more harm to the temperance cause than all the brewers and distill 1 ers in the world. And the really honest temperance advocates should realize that unless they curb these freak extremists, they will see tho pendulum swing to the other extreme." Speaker TTolden did not let any one else get the floor, declining to recognize several excitable members, and calmly forcing a resumption of the consideration of the tax hill, liroughton's Rejoinder. Dr. Broughton gave out the following statement in regard to the scathing denunciation he received at the hands of Representative Ander; son: "I am glad, at least, if T have done nothing else than force Mr. Anderson to acknowledge in the House of Representatives, where he is posing as the champion against legislation for the prevention of the noilP.liniir /II il t-n ? ..I . ?V . v; ? 11, I 11 <11. lie I f> Jl SIOCK" holder in a brewery, one, at leaRt, in Savannah, that is manufacturing more near-beer than any other in the State. "It is immaterial, so far as the point I made against his right to sit in judgment upon such legislation, whether he has recently bought stock or not. It is a fact that he owns the stock and that lines up with the whiskey Interests." Two New Crop Hales. Two Georgia farmers Monday marketed new crop cotton, J. W.

A FALSE ALARM SENATOIt TILLMAN'S SON DENIES STAKTLINC1 KEPOKT. (X)nrcrnlnj; the Serious Illness of His Father Published by a Washington Paper. The Washington correspondent of The News and Courier says B. It. Tillman, Jr., son of Senator Tillmen, denied the alarming reports Monday that had been scattered throughout Washington concerning the serious illness of his father. The stories concerning tSenator Tillman's illness arose in all probability from the following, printed in the Washington Post Monday morning: "The shrill voice of Senator Benjamin Ryan Tillman, of South Carolina may never he heard in the Senate Chamber again. Senator Tillman is ill at his home, a farm, near Trenton, S. C. He has been at home for three weeks and his friends ray his condition is so serious that there is little likelihood that he will be strong enough to return to Washington to vote on the tariff bill. The rumor that he contemplates resigning his seat is revived, but Senator Tillman is following the same course he did last summer and refuses to confirm or doil v f ho ronnrt "Senator Tillman has not fnlly re. covered from the attack of partial paralysis, which seized him last sum. iner. He tried to cure this by an extended tour of several months in ICurope. The health resorts of the Continent helped him greatly, and he returned to the United States much stronger than he was when he left. While the paralysis has not returned, a general disability from nervousness has made his life unhappy in the last few months. "The going of Tillman will take from the senate one of its most picturesque characters. Pitchfork Ben, as he is called, is feared of all other senators for the sharpness of his tongue, and the keenneee of his wit. No man in the United States Senate is an abler, rough and ready fighter than Tillman. "Senator Tillman's brother, thelate George H. Tillman, was a Congressman from the 2md South Carolina district in the Houee. He was known as one of the roost quiet and unemotional men that ever sat in the body. The name of Tillman was practically unknown until Senator Tillman was elected Governor ol South Carolina in 18S6. H? celebrated hie election by forcing through the Legislature the dispensary liquor law In that State. "Always Interested in education,, he founded his second oollege in the ^State after the inauguration. T^io first school established thrnnch Mi* efforts was the Clemeon Agricultural and Mechanical College at Calhoun's old home. Fort Mill, S. C. The second school Is the Winthrop Normal and Industrial College for Women, at Rock Hill." MAKES TRIPI>E PI,AY And Retires the Other Side All By Himself, Shortshop Neal Ball, formerly of the Atlanta and Montgomery clubs of the Southern league, and who wont to the New York Americans two seasons ago, and is now .with Cleveland, has made a record for himself that few ball players have ever attained. In a game at Cleveland Tuesday when his club was blaying against Boston, Ball made an unassisted triple play. In other words he retired the Boston club without any help when there were two men on bases and none out. This is how it happened : Wagner and Stahl led off with singles. The hit and run signal was given. McConnel was at the bat for Boston. lie landed on one of Cy Young's curves with a vicious crack. The instant the ball hit the ball both the base runners were off. The ball shot straight to Neal Ball. Coining in with great rapidity he sheared it in his gloved hand, and ran across touching second, thereby doubling Wagoner, who had started to third. Stahl had taken a long lead off first, base, and was almost at second when ho say Ball grab McConnell's hot liner. Stahl was running at fulT speed and did not have time to slow up before Ball touched him with the horsehide, thus completeing a triple play. This was in the second inning and the next time Ball came to the bat he hit a home run, practically winning the game for the Vnno Steam Lino to Panama. Charleston is to have a direct steamship line to Panama, beginning in the fall, and operating a boat, carrying mail and freight, every nino days, running independently of the government line, now running between New York and Panama.
