Eight hign school students, six 3
girls and two boys lost their lives! v
Thursday while boating on what Is ' ^
known as the Old Paper Mill dam, ^
at Huntington Mills, Pa. The dead (j
are: Ig
Maud Sutcllffe, aged 17 yearB; a
Carolyn Koonz, aged 16; lluth Bonham,

Twelve students of t,he Huntington
High School obtained two boats 1
nt 1 he* noon hour and started for a (}
row about the dam. The dam is "
nearly half a mile in width, and when
the two crafts had reached the centre I
of the body of water it was noticed ,
that one of them had sprung a leak. '
fl'he two boats were then pulled "
together by the young men in the
party and an effort was being made
to transfer the girls from the leaky
, boat to the safe craft. The last one a
of the party had successfully set foot *
in tiie boat when it began to sink
under the weight of the party.
11
The girls were helpless to save
themselves and the boys of the party,
with the exception of Dodson, j'
being expert s\jji miners, struck *r
out for tiie shore, which all reached
in safety. Minnich, in the excite- a
ment, it is presumed, thought that
all the young women had succeeded |
in roac.hing land. He had no sooner ; p1
gained the bank than Tie noticed the ^
girls hanging to the rapidly sinking
boat.
The boy dashed into the water and
swam swiftly to tne water-filled lf
craft. Only two of the girls were n
clinging to tho boat, the others hav- Sf
ing gone down for the last time. u'
Seizing Miss Davenport, Min- m
nich again started for the shore, but w
the exertion was too much for the I j"
gallant lad and the two went down J
together, when thoy were within a ! Kl
stone's throw of the Dank. All the *
bodies have been recovered.

VOn Tuesday morning after measrement,
Messrs. Forties and Yates,

TlX SOLDIERS SHuT
SHOOTING WAS ltKSUI/T OP ROV
WITH XKGROFS
Two of tlie Soldiers Are Seriously
Wounded While the Other Four
Are Slightly Hurt.
A special dispatch from Beau'orl,
S. C., to the Augusta Chronicle 8'\> t *
Six soldiers of the 125th company,
coast artillery, stationed at
Fort Fremont, on St. Helena island,
have been shot by negroes, just outside
of the reservation lines between
nine o'clock Monday night and one
o'clock Tuesday afternoon. Two of
the men, Private Quigley and McNally,
are seriously, but not fatally
wounded, while Privates McCarthy,
Callahan, Stansberry and Sleder are
less badly shot.
The negrooe who did the shooting
have left the neighborhood, and have
not been arrested up to tnis time.
About a wet'k ago, Isaac Potter and
and soldier from the fort, had a
fight on the road near Cusper City,
on St. Helena Island, which resulted
in Potter being cut by the soldier.
It is said that at this time
and afterwards the two Potters
threatened to shoot the first soldier
caught off the reservation after that
night.
On Monday night, Privates Callahan,
McCarthy, Stransberry and
Sled'Cr were shot from the bushes ,
while walking along a road a short ,
distance from the reservation lines.
The weapons used were shotguns and
the smallness of the shot was all
that prevented fatal results, as t.he
men were fired 011 from close range.
Considerable excitement and much
feeling was apparent among some of
the men after the shooting. On the
next day a party of six soldiers are
said to have gone *0 the Potter (
house carrying two shotguns along t
with them, to see the Potters and
find out whether or not they had
anything to do with the shooting of
t.heir comrades 011 the previous -evening.
It is said that the soldiers began
shooting up the house as soon as
they came up. As the soldiers entered
the home of the negroes one of
he Potters retreated upstairs, firing
into the soldiers as he went, the
first volley striking down Quigley
ind McNally.

lfightly Sensational Affair Follows
Acceptance of Resignation of J. II.

eran Churcvh of the Ascenrdon accepted
his resignation. Hev. I)r. J. H.
Wilson was soundly cow hided by
Mrs. C. 11. Monsees Monday at the
door of his study in the church building.
Her daughter, Miss Mota, who it
was charged .had been wronged, accompanied
her and when her mother,
worn out with h r exertions with the
whip swooned, the daughter was begging
her to hand the whip to her in
oidei that the belaboring might con
tinue.
J)r. Wilson made no attempt to defend
.himself, merely saying, "I will
not resist you." The pastor's resignation
and the cow hiding were the
result of an aflidaviV made by Miss
Mota Monsees before Attorney Albert
II. Propper, and which caused a
split in the church of whie.h Dr. Wilson
was pastor.
The father and In-other of Miss
Mouse s a few weeks ago were driven
from the of lice of the attorney a t !he
point of a pistol, all because of t.'iis
affidavit. Statements made by Dr.
Wilson, as alleged, about the affidavit
caused the sensational scene on
Monday.
Attorney Albert II. Propper's dis
' barment is asked in proceedings in,
stituted Monday in superior court.
Tliese proceedings, however, have
nothing to do with the horsewhipping,
but they show that Propper is
charged with unbecoming conduct in
some way as a lawyer.
PRAISES BRYAN'S SPEECH.
Before the Meeting of the Farmer's
Union at St. Ix>uis.
A dispatch from Atlanta to The
Augusta Chronicle says President
[ Charles S. Barrett, of the Farmers'
i Union, back from the meeting at
St. Louis, talked enthusiastically oi
the session there Friday.
"The meeting was a great success
and we started a movement which
will be felt throughout the country,'
said 'Mr. Barrett. "Tvnere was one of
the largest crowds in attendance yet
seen at a convention of the union.
Representatives of the various labor
organizations of the country were in
attendance.
"We have not yet made any alliance
with the labor organizations.
A resolution was passed to the effect
that the Farmers' Union and the
American Federation of Labor would
stand together on matters that were
to their mutual interests."
',Mr. Barrett was loud in his praises
of t-he speech made by Mr. Bryan before
the convention. He said:
"The speech which created the
most enthusiasm of miy made was
that of Willjiam J. Bryan. His
speech greatly overshadowed that of
Mr. Taft, although the president, was <
well received. Bryan completely
ujiLivjiit'ci i.no audience, anc ir was i
evident that they were with him from i

The Product ion of Circuit .Men.
Some nations are singularly deficient
in great men. They ha/* territory,
population, vast natural resources
and many other advantages,
yet they bring forth few or o?? gr? at .
men to benefit the world by their f
genius. Looking beneath the sur-J
face of material things the reason
for this dearth may be found partly
in racial characteristics but chiefly
in the existence of causes that re
press instead of stimulate thought
and action. These causes ma> be
found in government oppression am
in the repression of education where
by ignorance with all its accompanying
evils is fostered.
On the other hand nations upoi
which nature has not bestowed so
lavish a hand in the shape of natural
resources, but to which, on the con
trary, it seems to have behaved to
niggardly as to compel its peop<e to
work hard and live economically,
have been singularly fortunate in I
the matter of distinguished men. The
student who marks the great influence
which climate and soil have upon
national character and habits will
credit the fact with the production
of individual genius. Put unques
tionbly the character of the government
and other institutions, and
their relation to the people have at
least an equal influence. ?

rice of borax in Kngland is 2 1-2 I''
