contracted a bigamous marriage in the
United States. The carl was met at tho

court, whore be was formally charged.
The nobleman appeared to bo quite un
concerned
About n year ago it was announced
that Earl Russell had obtained a di
vorce in Nevada and hail there mar
ried Mrs. Mollie Somerville, daughter
of the late George Cooke. She had
also obtained a divorce in Nevada
from her husband, George Cumber
land. Later the earl and his new
countess went to England, and tho
first ooufitess threatened to have the
earl arrested for bigamy.
Earl Russell was remanded iu £L000
bail.
While Earl Russell waited in the ante-
5om the summons to appear before the
magistrate, tho woman he married iu
America joined him. When the case
was called a representative of the pub
lic prosecutor said the prisoner was
charged with feloniously marrying Mol-
lie Cook iu America.
Tho prosecution proceeded to ontliue
the earl’s marriage to Mabel Scott (his
first countess), their separation, his sab-
sequent disappearance from England
with a neighbor, Mrs. Somerville, and
the discovery that ho and Mrs. Somer
ville were together at Reno, Nev. Ou
April 14, IflOO, Earl Russell obtained a
license to marry Mollie Cook, otherwise
Mrs. Somerville, and a judge performed
the ceremony on April 15.
Counsel for the earl pointed out that
tho prosecution omitted mention of tho
divorce proceedings instituted by his
lordship in America.
In the event of a conviction tho case
will be taken to the house of lords, as
Earl Russell is entitled to a trial by bis
peers.

was relieved of the danger. It was
sharp pointed, and the child had a
narrow escape.

Hon. G. W. Whisonant and Mr. P.

that Mr. Webber has so far recovered

respondence some months ago, as to
be able to make a fall hand in tbe
field. Pink will work as long as he
can kick and nothing will keep him

which we fear has been seriously in

all about work and insists upon doing
it. J. L. s.

JacksonviiXK, Fla., June 17.—At 1:20

was discovered on lire in the third story.
This is occupied by the Jacksoxurilie
knitting mill, a new corporation, of u
$25,000 capital stock.
The tire department was largely iu
Ka*t Jacksonville, fighting a fire iu a
cottage, and tho response was slow.* In
the meantime locomotives in the rail
road yards were arousing the town with
a series of whoops, and in a few min
utes West Bay street was full of e texted
and panic-stricken people.
When tho department arrive! tbe
flames were bursting fr<.ni several win
dows iu the knitting mill, and fur sev
eral minutes it looked threatening. Mer
chants and residents in the neighbor
hood began moving stocks and fur
niture. The department kept tile flumes
confined, however, and in an hour it
was under control.
The building is owned by G. R. Fos

the building will amount to about HO,-
000, to the kuittiug factory about $10,-
000, to the Three Brothers Cigar com

cupants of the butidmg about $5,000.

Stopped.
The farmers just now are very
much behind witli their work on ac
count of the incessant rains of last
week, and some of the crops have
perhaps been considerably damaged.
During the storm of Friday after
noon, which seems to have been par
ticularly severe in and around Spar
tanburg, Mr. Robert G. Tilloteon, an
employee of tho Southern railway,
was struck by lightning and instantly
killed at the Spartanburg Junction,
just above the city. Mr. Tillotson
and two other men were in a building
used as a telegraph office, yard office,
etc., of the Southern, and had just
stepped out ou the piazza to watch
the progress of the storm when the
shocking tragedy occurred. The other
two men were not hurt.
On Saturday the dwelling house of
Mrs. E. A Judd, in Spartanburg, wa«
struck by lightning and one chimney
torn down. The inmates of tho
house were badly frightened, but no
one was hurt.
So far as we have learned, there
has been no damage by lightning in
this immediate vicinity, nor in Cher
okee county. Several severe storms
have passed around us, but so far we
have been fortunate enough to es
cape any serious injury to life or
property.
Cherokee farmers are having their
hands full keeping the grass in
check, which article seems to be
abundant in all parts of the county,
and they can ill afford to lose any
time from their work. The ground
is getting in working order again,
and there will probably not be a very
large attendance upon court this
week from the county.

IneaU’H KugUali,
Of all the intellectual sattelites—
comet-like in their brilliancy—that
ever appeared in the public life of
America, John James Ingalls, of Kan
sas, was the most unique and pecu
liar. His view of death is expressed
in the following brilliant dash of rhet
oric: "In the democracy of the dead
all men at last are equal. There is
neither rank nor station nor preroga
tive in the republic of the grave. At
this fatal threshold the philosopher
ceases to bo wise, and the song of the
poet is silent. Dives relinquishes his
millions, and Lazarus his rags. The
poor man is as rich as the richest, and
the rich man as poor as the pauper.
The creditor Joses his usury, and tho
debtor is acquitted of his obligat ion.
There the proud man surrenders his
dignities, tho politician his honors,
the worlding his pleasures; the
invalid needs no physician,
and the laborer rests from
unrequited toil. Here, at last,
is nature’s final decree in equity.
The wrongs of time are redressed,
injustice expiated, the irony of fate
is refuted, tbe unequal distribution
of wealth, honor, capacity, pleasure
and opportunity, which makes life so
cruel and inexplicable ia tragedy,
ceases in the realms of death. The
strongest there has no supremacy,
and the weakest needs no defense.
The mightiest captain succumbs to
the invincible adversary, who disarma
alike the victor and the vanquished.”
