Unsatisfactory Change.
“Such a change,” sai.l Senator Till
man. apropos of a certain bill, “would
be about as satisfactory as the change
that a landlord once made.
“A woman came to see this land
lord. She wanted to look at a house
that was to let. The man sent a clerk
to show her over the house, and on
her return she said:
“ T like the house very well. There
‘ is only one thing that I object to.’
“ •Well, madame, any reasonable al
teration.’ the landlord murmured
suavely, “would be made provided
you took a three-year's lease—’
“ ‘I’d take a three years’s lease,’
said the woman, ‘if only the house had
more closets.’
“ 'The number of closets shall be
doubled,’ said the landlord.
“ "Very well,’ said the woman, in a
pleased voice, and she signed the
lease then and there.
“After she was gone the landlord
called in his clerk again.
“ John,’ he said, ’tak-e a carpenter
over to No. 37 and have him divide
each of the closets in two.

The People of the Community Are
Aroused—Several Theories As to
Motive of the Criminal.
(Special to Charlotte Observer.)
Selma, N. C., June 24.—Last night
between 11 and 12 o’clock, at the
home of her father in this place, there
was a bold attempt by some unknown
person to enter the room of Miss
Pearl Jones, but the attempt was
foiled by the use of a revolver in the
same steady hand that exactly two
weeks before so successfully des
patched her would-be assailant.
Miss Jones was relieved at the tel
ephone office about 11 o’clock, oame
•home and had just eaten her midnight
lunch and gone into the sitting room,
where she was talking with the rest
of the family, when the dining room
door was heard to open. Her grand
father. who was in the room at the
time, looked into the dining room but
found no one there, so he securely
fastened the Joor and returned to the
sitting room. Pretty soon, however,
seme one was heard walking on the
porch in front of Miss Pearl’s room
and her room-mate, Miss Josle.Hunt,
who had already retired, saw the form
of a man at the window of her room
through the space between the bottom
of the shade and the window sill,
whereupon she called to Miss Pearl.
However, before Miss Pearl could get
there with her pistol the form had
disappeared.
Miss Pearl and her father, who had
just returned from the railway sta
tion went up stairs and woke Mr. W.
G. Gatewood, a railway engineer who
has a room there, and the two of
them went out into the yard to in
vestigate, but could find no one. Mr.
Jones, hearing another noise, thought
it might be one of the night hands at
the fertilizer plant, of which he is
superintendent, that had been sent to
his residence to see him about some
thing and probably did not know
which door to come to. went to the
plant, where he found all the hands in
their places and no one had been sent
to see him. He returned to his resi
dence where, with Mr. Gatewood, he
made a more searching investigation
but could find nothing. Then, hoping
the trouble was over, he allowed Mr.
Gatewood to retire and soon the fam
ily retired.
Before they had gone to sleep. Miss
Jones, hearing another noise like a
man stumbling on the porch in front
of her room, shot through the win
dow, biu unfortunately the culprit es
caped, the ball entering the railing
around the porch. He was heard to
jump from the porch and the night
being unusally dark and cloudy he had
no trouble escaping without being
seen. There was a heavy rain soon
after this which blotted out his tracks,
if he left any.
This affair, while not so widely
known as the one two weeks ago, has
aroused the citizens of the communi
ty. There are different views of tha
affair expressed here. Some think it
was merely a case of attempted rob
bery of the house, others think it was
a case of contemplated criminal as
sault upon the girls, while others
hold to the theory that it was a mat
ter of some of the young negroes of
the place trying to avenge the death
of their former companion.
If either of the latter two theories
are ever proven to be correct a rep
etition of the trouble in Wilmington
in 1898 is feared. This is a specially
aggravated case in view of the fact
that thy girl has so recently, however
triumphantly, passed through an or-
oeal calculated to shake the nerve of
any ordinary person, and if the culprit
is ever found out it will not be safe
foi him to remain in this community
many minutes. The people here are
determined to give this girl the sup
port she deserves. Up to this time
there is no clue whatever.
Mrs. King, who lives just across the
strort. says that yesterday a neero
man came to her house and asked her
to change a $1b bill and while he
was talking to her and when he left
and until he was out of sight he kept
hie eyes fixed on the Jones home,
which fact impressed her to the ex
tent that she informed the Joneses of
j it and warned them to be on the
lookout. This being the junction of
two important railway systems it is
an easy matter for such person* to
catch any one of the many trains
passing here every hour in the day.
Atlantic Coast Line Passenger Train
Meets an Accident.
Goldsboro, June 20.—Northbound
passenger train No. 42 on the Atlan
tic Coast Line ran into a carload of
lumber just this side of Nurse river to
night and injured Engineer Tom Mc
Millan and his fireman. The passen
gers were badly shaken, hut no one
was injured.
A freight train which reached the
cltv just ahead of the time for the
jmssenger train had a carload of lum
ber attached to the rear end of the
caboose. The car was in bad order
and was being towed in. It broke
lose from the freight train without
being noticed by the crew and ran
down the track a mile or more before
it struck the incoming passenger
train. The timber on the oar was
telescoped over the engine and was
jabbed into the cab. The crew of the
freight train, which was shifting in
the southern part of the city, heard
the jam when the collision occurred
and went to the scene.
As soon as it was learned the en
gineer and fireman were injured the
freight engine crew came here for
surgeons and Dr. W. H. Cob!) .and
Dr. R. B. Miller went to the scene.
At this time they have not returned
and it is impossible to tell to what ex
tent the men are injured. The fire
man is a colored man and his name is
Chestnut. ,
Later the passenger train which
arrived from Norfolk was dispatched
to the scene to bring the passengers
and the injured men on to this city.
It will require a wrecking crew to
clear the track. One of the trucks
under the lumber car was knocked
off the track and in the darkness had
not been found. The passenger train
was due here at 9:35 and at 11
o’clock some of the passengers who
had walked the distance were arriv
ing in the city.
Woman Kills Big Grizzly.
Trinidad Correspondence Denver Re
publican.
On the Duling ranch In Stonewall,
a large grizzly bear was shot and kill
ed by Mrs. Duling, wife of the coun
ty commissioner, a few days ago. Mrs.
Duling was alone on the ranch and
was riding about looking after stock
when she saw the bear eating a heifer
it had killed. Mrs. Duling had a Win
chester and promptly killed the griz
zly.
She is known as a remarkably nervy
woman and during her many years
residence in the Stonewall has killed
several bears, at one time saving her
husband from what seemed to be sure
death, when he was attacked by a
female grizzly he had wounded. Mrs.
Duling killed the bear when it was
within a few feet of her husband.
Iodine, Cure for Snake Bite.
(Topeka Capital.)
For a sure cure for snake bite,
take about seven drops of iodine,
scarify and bathe the wound also with
iodine. This remedy was first used
by a medical officer in British service
in India. It has cured both man and
i number of animals; it never fails;
it is really wonderful in its efforts.
One instance I will relate. A young
man working for me in the harvest
field was bitten by a very large rat
tlesnake on one pf his large toes. I
gave him about seven drops of tinc
ture of iodine on a little sugar and
to make doubly sure repeated the
dose an hour later. His foot swelled,
but next morning he was all right. I
have had animals whose bodies have
swelled considerably, but all have re
covered from the bite

Up a Mountain bv Balloon.
(Chicago Tribune.)
A balloon railway is now running
up the mountains at Salzburg. Austria.
It consists of a large captive balloon
attached to a single steel railway,
which in turn is fixed firmly to the
side of a steep mountain whose pre
cipitous slopes no other form of rail
way could climb without making a
series of serpentine detours and pass
ing through tunnels.
The balloon remains balanced in
the air about ten yards above the rail
to which It is attached by a stout
wire cable, and it is moved up and
down the side of the mountain at the
wilj of the engineer. For an ascent
the balloon itself furnishes the lifting
foreo by means of hydrogen; for the
descent a larger reservoir attched to
the balloon is filled with water at the
highest station and senses as ballast.
Under the balloon is a circular car
seating ten passengers.
The wire cable passed through the
floor of the car to a speed regulator
beneath, which is controlled by the
engineer. The inventor, Herr Bald-
erauer of Salzburg, states that the
balloon railway will replace the fur-
nicular railway In the future.

(Topek-a Journal.)
There is great excitement over the
report that a bride who will come to
Topeka soon has a maid. This will
raise the limit and establish a new
record in Topeka. Occasionally a To
peka woman steals the housemaid or
nurse, exchanges her cap and apron
for the lady’s maid kind and takes
her out of town with her in order to
make a noise like an aristocrat, but
it is believed the new bride will be
the only woman in Topeka who has a

Than Other Consumers—Long Dis
cussion Over Other Matters.
Columbia. June 2(5.—The matter al
most of sensational interest before
the dispensary investigation meeting
today was the long-looked for report
of the sub-committee, consisting of
Messrs. Lyon and Christenser. on j
their several trips of investigation to ,
the whiskey housts from east and
west, which have had dealings with ;
the State dispensary.
The report goes into the details of '

of instances are pointed out of houses

at lower prices than to the State stuff
sold to the State dispensary, which |
is, in almost every case, the biggest |
purchaser. There are many pages of

along with the others and the whole
matter referred to the next legislature i
with the suggestion the body appoint ,
a board of expert accountants to can-1
vass the various claims in detail, and
say what should be paid and what not.
The sub-committee argued along the
line, that it could not give the claims
the searching investigation demanded,
as the members of the committee were
inexpert accountants, and that the
committee bad no authority, anyway,
to scale claims. The body of experts
should have authority to do this scal
ing and say what mrt of the claims
should be paid, or if any of them
should be paid.
The session this morning was of lit
tle Interest otherwise.
The Carolina Glass Company had a
lengthy statement to submit in de
fence of the various things that should
be insinuated against it and after
some skirmishing. Mr. Lyons with
drew objection to admitting this state
ment. he to have the opportunity to
canvass it through witnesses later.
Attorney G. Duncan Bellinger, offered
an affidavit from Boykin as to the
Lanahan incident, but this "'as held
over to he submitted later. The state
ment of the Carolina GDss Company
was admitted into testimony answer
ing questions from the case. Gover
nor John C. Sheppard, who wanted to
know the fate of claim for concern
here represented in the capacity of an
attorney, this concern not being men
tioned in the sub-committee report.
Mi;. Lyon said there were a number of
concerns the committee had discover
ed nothing against. Some of who ap
peared to have dealt fairly and honor
ably with the State, but the sub-com
mittee had not been able to go to the
bottom of these matters and had de
cided therefore to recommend that all
claims referred back to the legislature.
The committe spent about an hour
listening to arguments from lawyers
about whether the sub-committee re
port should be adopted finally adjorn-
ed till next Monday. Adjutant Gen
eral Frost, has not yet received a re
ply to his telegram of yesterday to the

Crops in Path of Storm Ruined—
Haj( Was Terrible.
Greenville, June 19.—In the Bell-
nie section of the county yesterday
rfternoon great damage was wrought
to the crops over a considerable area
by a tremendous hail and wind storm.
The path of the storm was a mile
wide. The hail storm touched Mari-
i etta and traversed the Bellvue sec
tion;* reaching within two miles of
Travelers Rest, where its course was
changed toward Tygerville.
From reports gathered today many
farmers lost their entire crops.
A farmer from that section in the
city today exhibited the best stalks
of cotton he could find in his crop.
Every leaf ami bud were stripped
and the stalks were cut half in two,
the portion of the stalk, which re
mained standing being badly scarred

chance of any cotton coming out.’ ii, is

complete. The corn was literally torn
to pieces and it is in the same condi
tion as the cotton. There is no way
to estimate the damage done.
With the hail storm there was a
blinding rain and a high wind. This
helped to make the destruction com

The Auto in Spain.
(New York American.)
Spanish royal society has just held
an unprecedented automobile parade,
complimentary to King Alfonso, as
automobiling is one of his pet' di
versions. There were 1S5 cars,
counting the detachment that came
from Barcelonia, all most elaborately
decorated. There was not a single ar
rest. as the pace was regulated bv
the slowest car, which led. One of
the chaffeurs, whose car had broken
down, remaVked to an American:
“What can you expect? Onlv two
cars broke down; onlv two ran into
each other, and the Marquis de Viana
fell out of his car and got run over by
another but was not seriously hurt.”
In the first car were the Queen
Mother and the Duchess of San Car
los; the second held the King's aid-
de-camp; in the third Prince Carlos
and the Princess Ena’s brother; in
the fourth the Infanta Maria Teresa
and husband: the fifth the Infanta
Isabella, and then came King Alfonso.
Princess Ena reviewed the parade.
King Alfonso and Princess Ena held

Cleanliness as a Habit.
(Boston Advertiser.)
Chicago, in the earnestness of her
■attempt to clean up the city (as to its
physical aspect), is forming the chil
dren of the city into an army of clean
liness with a set of four simple rules,
telling them to pick up at ietst one
piece of paper each day. to “slick up”
around home, to do missionary work
on the neighbor's children and to
keep more or less clean as to hands
and face. In this wav the optimists
of Chicago hope to plant the s.eed of
civic cleanliness. They will nurse
the budding plant (If it ever buds)
and try to develop i vigorous shrub
which shall sweep the tares of untidi
ness before it, so that in the next
generation the man with the muck
rake will pass Chicago by hurriedly
and hopelessly. The primary idea is
a good one; there is no doubt that the
