A special dispatch from Tlridgeport, Conn., says live men engaged an automobile at the railroad station there Thursduy night and told Geo. Hull to drive them to No. lu5 South Atven ue. Arriving at this address one of tlie men entered the house and told Hose White* twenty-two, she was wanted by a man in the car who nad come from Chicago to see her. According to the story told by Hull later tbe woman approached tho car in fear and onco offered to retreat, but the men called to her in a threatening voice and ordered her to approach. As sho got alongside the car the man who said lie was from Chicago spoke woru kindly to her. He told her that she must get into the ma chine and go with him and his companions. Again the woman hesitated, but she was seized and ioreed into the machine. Hull then was ordered to drive towards Peck's Mills, near Stratford, a sur.burb of Bridgeport. He obeyed and was nearing the Mills when word mine from one of the fares to stop. slop. As soon as the car stopped the five men alighted. Hull later told the police that the man from Chicago seemed to do all the talking. lie had some grievance and was threatening the woman while his companions stood about. She appealed to them to help her and they laughed a: her. One of the men turned to IIull and told him to drive on. The chauffeur /aesitated, and was told he woul 1 he hurt unless lie obeyed. At the same time the man from Chicago, so Hull says, seized the woman by the throat, drew her close to him and, placing a revolver against her forehead, fired. Ah she fell he fired again. This time the bullet went through her throat, and t hen the man si x>d over her and -pumped three more bulletJ J _ i ^ i. .. . i. _ i ^ mm itrc Doay. Hull raced away and by a circuitous route reached Bridgeport, lie reported the case to the police, and Sheriff Williams, ox-sheriff Stagg, Constable Palmer and a squad of police hurried in automobiles to the mills. There they found the woman's body. The woods wre surrounded and three men hiding in bushes were captured after a hard fight. The men were shackled and a posse continued =to search for the other men. They ;had not been found up to midnight. In the pockets of cue of the prisoners were cards on which were printed "Andrew Lutz, Chicago." 'This man also carried a revolver . from which live shots had been fired. The other prisoners were Italians. 'They refused to give their names or anything about themselves, but the police recognized them as Bridgeport men. The men who escaped are bellieved to be Bridgeport men also. A later dispatch from Bridgeport *nys Chicago Joe Buonomo, one of the five men who Thursday night W1 n't a n nrlrl nf t h n 11 ti - rlerworld, into an automobile and drove bor to a lonely spot, near Stratford, whore she was shot to death, confessed that ho was h?r slayer.

MEETS AWFUL DEATH FEARFUL FATE OF A JIALLOOX1ST AND A FRIEND. Tlio (aii.s Huk of Their liallon Explodes While They Are Three Miles lp in (he Air. The announcement of the death .Sunday ot Lieut.

He was thrown lroni his . alioon at a height 01 tlug,e miles by Hie explosion ot the gas bag, which is b<l?eved 10 have been struck by lightning. His aide, Lieut. Steler, aiso was killed, (iencke and Steier were making a trial lliglit to test the new nalJooii, wlncii they expected to use in 1:?i L' international races. .Just above the town of Crossenhein they met a thunderstorm which they attempted to avoid by rising. When a mile in the air their craft was caught in an eddy and became unmanageable. After a terrific plunge straight upward the bag burst. Both men dropped three miles to the ground. They were dead when picked up. The shattered instruments which tho balloonists carried on their Might were examined. The recording apparatus showed they were riding at a height of six thousand feet when they were suddenly hit by a vertical gust of wind which pushed them straight up with the violence of a Hurricane to a height of over 15,000 feet. At this altitude the bag burst, either from tho sudden change in pressure or, as is more likely, from being struck by a lightning bolt. The balloon embodied all the latest ideas in gas bag construction and was regarded throughout Germany as the likely winner of the international cup in next Saturday's contest. Gericke i nd Sto'.cr had expected to try for an altitude record in (lie course of Sunday's flight and had equipped their car with oxygen tanks and apparatus to assist them in enduring the rarifl:d atmosphere in the high altitudes.

Jose Diaz Ordaza, and all oliicers of the rebellious Mexican troops and marines a' Vera Ciuz, who were captured Wednesday, will be haled immediately bouro a Court-martial and doubtless will sutler the death penalty. Orders have been issued for convening the Court, which will be presided over by Gen. Heltran. Gen. Diaz, although not now a member of the army, is amenable in such Court under the law, which provides for trial of any civil- . inn under like circumstances. Soldiers of the rebellious troops will bo decimated?one in ten being executed. They will he chosen by lot to pay th penalty for all. The col- . lapse of the Diaz movement one week after its inception witn a minimum o' lighting and bloodshed, has created the greatest surprise in Mexico City. In administration circles, where optimism bus been the keynote since the beginning, the outcome is regarded as the highest possible vin'ication of the confidence always exprcssed in tlie loyalty of the army. Gen. Felix Diaz, after Gen. Reyes, has be< u regarded as the man who could wield the greatest influence with the army and the people generill.v. Fis rohclF m ending in a fiasco only slightly less pronounced than tnat of Reyes last December, removes a danger which has long loomed n t lie political horizon.

They have received males to reiurn .and will leave soon for the north to again 11 now the campaign against Orozeo. Five hundred troops have been disnatched to Tuxpam to restore order.

Tho Augusta Chronicle sava the Roosevelt peoplo admit that they do not expect success November f>. Mr. Paft and Mr. Ililles hope that the ' Republican party will win. Mr. Ililles is making superlative claims, but Mj*. Taft contents himself with 1 saying that either Governor Wilson oi lie will triumph. The Roosevelt people are content, for this time, to break up ihe Republican party, planning to win the presidency in 1010. The Democratic leaders are most saiuvuino. To 'Mr. Taft they concede Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, Vermont, Rhode Inland and New ITampahire. To Col. Roosevelt thoy givo Washington, Michigan and Illinois. Thoy consider California, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Minnesota and West Virginia "doubtful". For Cov. Wilson thoy claim all other states, giving the Democratic nominee 3 78 votes, or 11 2 more than the majority of the college. There may be miscalculations in hese figures -probably are -but enough Is known at this time to absolutely insure the success of tho' Democratic party. y??@??C??G@??< & jj BATTLESH1 ^ SOME COUNTIES MAY * CHARLTSTOX I NOVE 5) ?

Willio llugh, tlie cripple newsboy of Gary, 111., had Hie iuncial of a nero when lie was laid to rest at orin, J11. The boy, wiio sacrihccd his l.fe that a girl whom lie dnl not know might be saved, was buried amid more (lowers, music and mourning tiluii \v line ever louiveu. upon uunug a us lite. All Clary united in a memorial service in the Methodist Church in the altcrnoou. Only one person in the city did not feel a part of the general sorrow, uud that is Miss Ethei Smith, the girl lor whose life the boy offered Lis left leg for amputation and ultimately losing his life. Miss Smith, who is recovering from the operation l skin grafting, through which Hugh sacriliced his lite has not been told that he is dead. "1 dare not tell her yet," the girl's mother said, "if she were to know 1 am sure it would kill her." At the corner of Broadway and Sixth avenue a large crowd collected. They ' were gathered about a vacant newsstand. Across the stand had been placed a bit of crepe. Acioss i^io street, in the window of a drug store, a picture of Hugh had been placed. '1 he picture was bound in black, and beneath this line scrawled on cardboard: "Willie Hugh is dead. This hero sacrificed his life to save ail- 1 other." All the town bands offered their services for the funeral march and tho church was filled with dowers. A special train carried W illie's body to Orin, 111., where the lad was placed in a grave beside that of his mother. The special train bore many of Clary's prominent citizens, and all tho city's newsboys. The nature of the memorial to tho lad has not hern definitely decided. Ii is probable, however, that a statuo or tablet will bo placed on the corner whore stood tho newsboy's old stand. Upon tho tablet or statue, it is said, will be engraved Willio's own words: "I'm glad to just be a little help." ^ ? m f AUTO A \ J > CVCI JO CRASH. ?..
