once.
The knife struck Wommack on the left

The wound was not long, but it looked
deep. Wommack lost great deal Of

something like 5000 PAGES. 1t is to be the
ideal dictionary of the English language,
and will supersede all pre-eXlsung au-

scholars that the English language IS de-

two dictionaries, that of NJ. Litre and OF

Pathological Society propose to NIL This
yawning gap in our reference books.
They hold that dictionary should be an
inventory OF the language and that its
doors should be opened to all words,
good, bad and ind fferent. THIS new work
Will not be confined TO definitions and
cross references. TIE he history OF each
word Will be fully gwen, with "A quotation

It's usage from one generation to another.

interrupted Its progress. Itis now hoped
that he cook may be pushed to its com

amount of research and reading yet TO BE-

DRAINED WITH AN AK.
SHOCKING TRAGEDY IN THE
EASTERN PART OF THE CITY.

THE Victims Huddled Together and I'm
able to Escape Until the Last One Is
KiIled-The killing Done in Broad
Daylight and Within a Stones Throw
of the Police Barracks-The Slayer
Stiii at Large.
The most bloody and brutal tragedy
that has occurred in Chatham county in
years was enacted just as the sun was
sinking below the horizon yesterday. In
less than ten minutes seventy beings fell
victims to one murderous hand. SO well
laid were his plans that never hasheesh-
,crazed Malay running a-muck through
the thronged streets of an Eastern city
destroyed half the number OF lives that
this slayer did. With an ak for a
weapon, he spared neither old nor young.
Each victim was ruthlessly knocked in
the head, and not one spoke a word or ut
tered cry after receiving the fatal blow.
From side 10 side the murderer glided
with quick, steslthy strides, swinging the
terrible ak above his nead and bringing 1t
down with fearful crash upon the skull
OF victim after victim, until seventy lay
stretched out in death. Nearly every one
was struck down from behind wholly I'M
suspectng danger, and without an OPP
poTtuHity TO mutter even mOnOsy Liable
prayer. As one after another fell the
mereiless SLAYER grlmy muttefed "A

The slaughter was terrible and sicken-

or raise a finger 10 stay the weapon from
which the blood ran in stream. But
