London, June 2.—Peace has been
declared after nearly two years and
eight months, and a war which tried

nations has come to an end with Lord

ria that he, Lord Milner and the Boer

render.”

joy felt by all classes at the contusion
oi the war.

Africa, but the opinion is expressed J
in official quarters here that Cominan-
der Fouche and other Boer loaders in

that it will be possible to bring many
troops for the coronation.

United Kingdom Holiday Making Over
Conclusion of Peace.
London, June 2.—With the exception
of Ireland practieally the whole of the
United Kingdom is holiday making to
day in honor of the conclusion of peace
in South Africa. The streets every
where are thronged with people, who
every now and then relieve their over,
strung nerves by an outburst of hoarse
cheering or by braying penny trum
pets. The tone of King Edward's mes
sage to the people and the absence
therein of any note of exultation
seems to have set a good example, and
while giving free vent to their own
satisfaction the British are showing
small desire to crow over their late
enemies.
Flags and bunting are everywhere
displayed, church bells are ringing, sa
lutes are being fired and there is gen
eral jubilation on all sides.
Crowds of people poured Into Lon
don early and surged toward the usual
centers, the Mansion House, Royal Ex
change, Trafalgar square, etc., and
quickly bedecked themselves with tiny
flags, buttons and badges. At inter
vals some enthusiast started singing
God Save the King,” which was taken
up by the happy throngs and was
heard for many miles through the
neighboring streets from one end of
the metropolis to the otlmt.
The earliest demonstrations on the
Stock Exchange, where the members
arrived an hour earlier than usual,
commenced with the bidding up ot
South African securities and consols.
On the official opening "God Save the
King” was sung by all present and a
telegram was dispatched to Lord
Kitchener, as follows:
“The members of the London Stock
Exchange Join with the rest of the
British empire in rejoicing at the hap
py end of the lengthened campaign.
Peace with honor ia a fitting oreluda
to peaceful coronation celebrations.
Heartiest congratulations to your lord-
ship and the brave boys with you.”
Later in the day a levee at St. Jame*
palace and a cabinet meeting in Down
ing street attracted immense crowds.
Thousands of people waited the ar
rival of the cabinet ministers and th«
scenes which greeted the popular fa
vorites have not been equaled in many
years. Many of the ministers wore
court dress on account of having to be
present at the levee, which added at
tractiveness to the occasion. It Is al
most needless to add that Joseph
Chamberlain, the colonial secretary,
came in for special attention from the
masses. The police were unable to
hold them in bounds and crowds surg
ed around Mr. Chamberlain’s carriage
hurrahing and shouting congratula
tions until the colonial secretary es
caped within the building.
On the adjournment of the cabinet
meeting the crowds dispersed to Buck
ingham palace and St. James palais
and further relieved their feelings by
cheering the king and other notabili
ties who attended the levee, at which
United States Ambassador Joseph H.
Choate and &»1 the members of ths
embassy and a number of special coio-
TRAGEDY IN ALABAMA VILLAGE.
Mrs. Sol Grayson Shoots and Kills Her
Husband's Brother.
Decatur. Ala.. June 2.—Saturday
morning the'N'oung wife of Sol Gray
son. a well-to-do and respected citizen
of Beilemina, shot and killed young
Henry Grayson, her husband’s broth
er. with a double-barreled shotgun.
The fatal shot was fired just as young
Grayson was entering the breakfast
room in his brother's home to sit down
to the morning meal before going to
his work in the fields. Young Gray
son died almost instantly, the load of
shot, which was fired at close range,
entering his hack and head.
Shortly after the fatal shot was fired
Sol Grayson hitched up his buggy and
| drove to Athens, the county seat of
I Limestone county, and gave himself
i and wife into custody, and they are
1 now in jail.
It was learned through a telephone
I message from Mooresville that young
Henry Grayson had written his brother
a letter several days ago in which he
told Sol Grayson that he would have
to give up the work and leave, as
“Your wife is bothering me to death,”
but it seems that Mr. Grayson turned
it off as a wbun and told the boy to go
on with his work; that Mrs. Grayson
was only teasing him, or something to
that effect.
The .Graysons formerly lived at Gur
ley. Ala., and at one time were mer
chants in East Decatur, where they
have a number of relatives.

Once Under Death Sentence for Aid
ing Booth, Lincoln's Assassin.
New York, June 2.—Absalom Rug-
gles Bainhridge, who at one time was
under sentence of death for assistance
he was charged with having given
John Wilkes Booth while the latter
was making his escape after assassi
nating President Lincoln, is dead from
apoplexy at his home in this city.
Mr. Bainhridge was horn in Virginia
In 1845. He entered the confederate
army under Colonel Mosby when he
was 16 years old, and at the close of
the war held the rank of lieutenant.
When Colonel Mosby’s command was
dispersed Bainhridge and a cousin,
Major Ruggles, who died in this city
two weeks ago, were on their way
home when they met Booth, whom
they unwittingly assisted to cross the
river. The young lieutenant and his
cousin were arrested and sentenced
to death, but subsequently were re-
lased.
