KILLED BY HER NIECE.
Love and Jealousy Followed by Tragedy
at q Georgia Dance


BLAcKsHEAR, GA, Sept. IA rustic
dance in the lower part of Pierce county was
the scene of a sanguinary encounter between
two country lasses last night. Miss Mabel
Smith and her niece, Miss Roxy Wilson,
both daughters of respectable farmers and
bellies of the evening, were rivals for the
hand of a country swain whose personal at
fractions were enhanced In the eyes of the
maidens by $4,000 estate, to which he is
the only heir. His preference for Miss
Smiths company was very marked, and
Miss Wilson became infuriated with ieal-
ousy.
At II o'clock she was so maddened that
she made open threats that she would kill
both her rival and her lover. Her brother,
who was present, shared his sisters anger,
and while they were all dancing In the
same set about midnight, secretly put an
open knife into his sisters hand and went
on with the dance. Subsequently raising
the knife above her head, the infuriated
woman sprang upon her aunt and at the
first stroke almost disembowelled her.
Before the Mortified spectators could recover
from astonishment she raised the knife and
plunged 1t to the hilt into the dying woman's
breast.
Without waiting to see the effect If the
wounds, the murderess sprang like tigress
toward the throat of her lover, but was
seized and disarmed before she could ac-
complish her purpose. The woman's
brother made no attempt to interfere while
the tragedy was being enacted. and after it
was over walked away and has not been
seen since. The murderess, who IL an un-
commonly handsome country girl of 19
years, is under arrest. Her father is said
to be worth $25, 900, and to have announced
bis intention to spend every cent, if neces
sary, to clear her.

Sneak Thieves Plying Their Trade-Sev-

Arrest.

sneak VhieveB Plying Their TrAd4-S0v-
eraI Houses Entered--One Eruitiess
Arrest.
1t is evident that the sneak thieves that
infest this city have no fear of the "model"
force as they ply their vocation with i'm
punity. Yesterday afternoon two private
residences were entered and several articles
during the absence of Mrs. Day, wife of W.
#. Day, who resides at No. 1901 Walnut
street, thieves entered the residence and sue
ceeded in carrying off q gold watch and
chain, gold ring; an Amethyst ring, half
dozen silver spoons, and other articles of
value. An access was gained TO the house
by prying open the back door, The robbery
was not discovered until alb nut O'Clock.
During the afternoon Mrs. Robert Liddell,
living at No. 1011 Walnut street, noticed
man with side whiskers and mustache and
wearing straw hat lettering In the neigh
borhood. She also noticed two young men
lettering in the vicinity at the same time.
1t fs the general impression that the man
wearing the straw hat committed the rob-
berry while the two young men kept watch.
Earlier in the afternoon the residence of
Holstein Harvey, No. 905 Tatnall street. was
entered and two silver spoons and kn. .ie and
fork carried off.
E. H. Rumford, living at 917 Tatnall,
noticed during the afternoon three men
answering the description given by Mrs. Lid
dell, lettering around the vicinity of Mr.
Harvey's house, and it is the supposition
that both robberies were committed by the
same parties.
Information, together with a description
of the men was lodged at the police station,
and sharp lookout was kept for the men.
Later in the evening Officers Vickers and
Cannon noticed man answering the
description of the one with a straw hat,
enter barber shop down town. He shortly
left and the officers shadowed him up Market
street and out Delaware avenue. His actions
being suspicious they took him In charge and
locked him up. The man gave his name as
Wallace and claimed te be a salesman for
E. Levering 81 Co., coffee dealers of Balti
more. He was taken before Mr.. Rumf rd
and parties on Walnut street, but as they
could not identify him he was discharged.
The suspected man claimed a relationship
with A. G. Osborne, deputy clerk of the
peace. Mr.. Osborne recognized him as
man by the name of Wallace.
