ASSAULT BY NEGRO.
Attempt on Life of Well Known
* Florence Lady.
* I
Florence, April 21:?An attempt,
supposedly to take the life of a well
known Florence lady and her son,
Ferdinand, at their home, 104 East
street, this city, about 9:80 o'clock
Saturday night,was made by a negro
with the use of a part of a heavy
steel "S" wrench. But for their
screams and the prompt response of
neighbors and members of the police
force, both of them no doubt
would have been murdered. The husband,
who was at worK in the A C L
yard8,was apprised of the deed later
in the evening. The story as given
by Chief of Police H M Brunson,
who, with Foreman Mack Worrell,
of the chaingang, ran to earth the
negro supposed to have committed
the assault, is as follows:
The lady, the wife of an Atlantic
Coast Line trainman, and her 12year-old
son were alone at their home.
Some one knocked at the door and
upon investigation it proved to be a
negro, said to be named Herman
Kollv Vm/t hppn apnt thprp to
boy milk. He did not have a vessel
to take the milk in and was loaned a
pitcher which he was to return.
Later in the evening Kelly returned
with the pitcher and, according to
the police story, as he handed the
lady the vessel he caught her by the
arm and struck her over the head
with a part of a steel "S" wrench,
which is used by track forces for
tightening rail bolts. The blow partially
felled her and she began to
scream. The assailant struck her
- again and by this time her son, who
had been asleep, was awakened, and
he ran into the yard screaming.
minKing uiai ne naa prooaoiy
slain the lady, the negro ran out after
the boy, felling him. By this
time neighbors began to reach the
place and, fearing that he would be
caught, the negro, supposed to have
been Kelly, ran through the back
yard and attempted to scale a high
fence to the side of the premises. In
doing so, however, a board broke
with him and he fell heavily to the
ground. As he fell his arm was
caught on the end of a picket and
the skin torn off. In this condition,
and with blood from his victim's
wounds smeared over his clothing,
hp madp cnnH fnr the* timp his es
cape.
It was not long afterwards before
a great crowd gathered and the po- 1
lice officers proceeded to run down j
the negro. Chief Brunson and Offic- <
er Worrell followed a clue and i
shortly after midnight, at the home
of Jack Black, whose wife is an aunt
of Kelley's, they arrested Kelly, who
is charged as being the man who
committed the deed.
When arrested Kelly is said to have
had the scratch on the arm which it
is thought was made in the fall over
the fence.
The officers took Kelly before his
victims, who identified him as being
the right party. Kelly was then
carried to the station house and later
removed to the jail.
By this time there were various
rumors as to what would be done

talking soon gathered into a crowd. ;

A telegram to The World from a
Connecticut correspondent gave these
truly remarkable results of the explosion
of seventy-five pounds of giant
powder and three dozen sticks of dynamite
on the faym of Silas Pettigrew:
1. When Pettigrew tried to milk
Viio nriro Jprs^v. Tgabel. he found she
was loaded with pure creamery butter.
2. The prize Cochin Chinas laid
scrambled eggs that could be served
with minced ham from the ruins of
the smokehouse.
3. Seven cords of pine were splintered
ready for sale to the match
factory.
4. Tons of rock that had been
dragged near the explosives to be
blasted for fence building were
broken to ideal fence size.
Chorus of readers?That telegram
must have been from Wins ted.
Editor?Wrong; from Durham.
And here's another:
' Home Buttery of Broad River,
Conn, tried to steam a piece of plate
glass so he could bend it to put in a
bay-window.
Chorus of readers?Well, surely
that's from Winsted.

Morrisville, April 16:?Beautiful
in its simplicity was the marriage,
solemnized last Wednesday after
noon at the home of Mr and Mrs
Robert Marshall, when their accom-|
plished daughter, Miss Fannie, became
the bride of Mr J Ralston Larrimore
of McClellanville, Rev W 0
Henderson of Andrews officiating.
The parlor was most artistically
decorated with cut flowers and ferns,
the color scheme of green and white
being used,while the hallway, where
the many handsome presents were
displayed, was draped with ivy.
Promptly at S o'clock, to the
strains of Mendelssohn's wedding
march, beautifully rendered by Miss
Mae Miller of Spartanburg, the
bride entered the parlor on the arm
of her only attendant. Miss Althere
McKnight of Kingatree, while the
groom entered from a side door
with Mr J C Marshall of Morrisville
as beat man, the bridal party forming
a semi-circle beneath a beautiful
horse-shoe of roses, where the impressive
ceremony was solemnized.
The bride wore a handsome traveling
suit of tan. with hat. shoes and
accessories to match, and carried an
armful of roses and ferns. The
maid of honor wore a shimmering
gown of pale blue satin and shadow
lace. Miss Miller, wearing a lovely
gown of white net over blue, added
much to the occasion by rendering
several choice selections before and
after the ceremony.
Immediately after hearty congratulations
had been extended, the
