How tho WARDS of the State
Tackled the Catfish.

Tackled the Catfish.
| The boys who saw the Orphan'f
Home contingent out at Washoe
Lake catching catfish on Wednes-
day, say the sight was worth going
miles to see. They went out In
Doc. Eenton's red wagon and tie
wagon was so packed with kids
that there was no room to bring
the fish back. When they reached
the lake all hands tumbled out and
made rush for the edge of the
water and some were in such a
bury that they tumbled in. AT
once they began to fight for places.
Each boy seemed to think that
there vas only enough catfish for
him alone and that if he failed 70
get 10 the lake in time some one
else would catch all his fish.
superintendent Parker was
obliged to divide up the claims
and accordingly staked the boys
out about fifty yards apart, and
when he got through the string
reached nearly TO the Harris mine
and Washoe city. About that
time a party OF Comstockers came
down to fsh but found the whole
South side OF the lake taken up.
When ever they attempted to fish
the boys would shout. "Here, let
20 there, this is our place." and ii
they did not move on at once a
wild mob Of orphans would
advance with clubs and rocks and
tell them that they must hunt
other ground, which they accord
ingly did. II one boy would move
down toward another the latter
would resent the encroacbment by
laying down his fish pole and pull
ng off his coat and vest, assume a
ougilistic attitrde at once. After
hey had waited patiently for about |
,wenty minutes, one of the boys
began to yell:
ooh I've got a bite, I've gotta bite"
md the word was passed along
he line.
"Jack's got a bite, Jacks got
,ite" Jack was about the
middle OF the line and the crowd
rom both ends came in on the
lead run. Presently he hauled up
quarter OF a pound catfish and
he instant it touched the ground
yer twenty boys had jumped on
0 it and were stamping it to
'ieces for fear 1t would get away.
n the excitement to get 70 it
eyeral were knocked down and
on and the Superintendent
Tas powerless.
Then all hands insisted on fishing
light in that particular spot, and
senty lines were in the water in
pace about ten feet square.
The next fish hadled out was
Lopped back and struck Superin-
endent Parker square across the
zee, knocking him down.
All the boys again dropped their
oles and began jumping on the
sh and walking on the Superin-
sndent. 1t was great sport.
Then the lines all got tangled up
/ a bunch and there was a scrim-
lage until they were separated.
hey then got over the excitement {
nd caught enough fish to last the
lone several days.
The boy who caught nine is cock
the walk. They all decided that
lev had more Jun on Wednesday I
IAN they had enjoyed for several
ears.
Yesterday the girls went out, and
that the days sport was

A Heightened Wedding.

Mr.. John VintOn Dahlgren and
Miss Elizabeth DreXel We're married
Saturday morning in the New York
Cathedral, the archbishop of New
York performing the ceremony. The
service at the Cathedral was followed
by wedding breakfast at the resi-
dence of Mrs. Drexel on Madison ave
nue.. Miss DreXers bridesmaids were
Miss Dahlgren, two of the Misses
Drexel, sisters of the bride. and Miss
Dudley, of New York. The ushers
were Thomas Jenkins, of Baltimore;
PIERRE De Chambrun, Harry Martin,
Edward Hosmes, Thomas Bayard and
George Drexel, the brides brother.
The bridal gifts are among the
choicest ever given to an American
girl. They were displayed in the
picture gallery and engraving room
of Mrs. Drexel's house before the we'd
ding. A chain and locket, with dia-
monds, came from Miss Dahlgren,
the bridegroom sister. An emerald
and diamond star pin was presented
by one Of the brides sisters. Dia-
monds and other jewels i'll profusion,
valuable bric-a-brac, paintings and
objects dart innumerable are included
in the gifts. The most unique Is the
gift Of the groom. 1t is IL curious
looking large silver ring, with a ruby
at the top, and is the famous engage
ment ring which Martin Luther gave
to Catharinev Won Bora, his betroth-
ed lit has been in the possession of
the Dahlgren family since 1928. Mrs.
Dahlgren's present was vellum-
bound prayer book, beautifully il
Eliminated Tiffany made the cover

jewels lot of gems were taken, and
a cross, crown, and anchor of dia-
monds, rubies and sapphires set into

enriched. Early Saturday afternoon
the bridal couple left for the home of
Mrs Dahlgren on South Mountain,
where they have spent the present
week in the privacy of her home. All

entertainments. A gay party of
young people have been invited to
become the guests of Mrs. Dahlgr EN-
and an elaborate programme of
amusement has been planned. The
large barn has been fitted up as a
ball room, and here each evening
there will be a reception and a dance.
After the weeks festivities the bride
and groom will go on wedding tour
to last until October

THE GUILTY ESCAPES.

Strange news come from South
Carolina. DIR. Mellow, the murderer
of Capt. Dawson, has been found 'not
guilty" by jury of his peers, and the
miscreant is again free to prowl
around and lead servant girls estray.
As we stated last week, there were
signs that the jury had been fixed.
But when the evidence was disclosed
il was hardly thought possible that
any jury would absolutely clear so
vile a wretch as DIR. Mellow was
shown to be. 1t was proved by the
most Improbable medical testimony
that Capt. Dawson was shot from
behind. 1t was proved that Nc
Dow had made of Capt. Dawson's
home a house of designation While
that gentleman and his wife were alb
sent. and that therefore the visit OF
Dawson was not only to try to save
tbe honor of the Swiss maid, but TO
defend the sanctity of his own home
as well. 1t was proved that Mellow
had boosted that his profession taught
him where TO shoot to kill, and that
he had only given himself up when
his efforts to dispose of the body had
failed and when he knew that the
police suspicioned him.
The evidence against the murderer
was most convincing, and was only
disputed by the murderer himself,
who had already by his own words
and actions shown himself devoid of
all honor and unworthy of the slight
est claim to truthfulness. The learned
counsel for the defense, of course, did
their best 70 save his neck. and spoke
Indignantly of the invasion of his
sacred home by Capt. Dawson-it was
sacred home indeed that could
shelter a husband and father, ply
stefan. whose whole efforts were de-
voted to the seduction of Il Swiss
nurse girl.
But alack for the evidence and the
terrible arraignment of the counsel
for the prosecution. The five white
men and seven negroes who composed
the jury could not even find him
guilty of misunderstanding acquit-
ted him of all blame, and he walked
out of the temple of justice-justice?-
free man, while hundreds Of negroes
cheered him in triumph to his home.
These same negroes, too, cannot help
but know that if one of their number
had committed the crime he would
have been tried, convicted and hung
long aso-even if Judge Lynch would
have had to be the eXecutioner.
We suppose if South Carolina can
stand such verdict, and can allow
such a monstrous crime to go unpun-
iShed, the balance of the country can.
The mark of Cain. though, can never
be whitewashed from DR.. McDow's
forehead by the perjured verdict of
an unfaithful jury.

Beaten by Masked Burglars.

The quiet town of Pleasant Unity,
six miles south of Greensburg, Pa,
was the scene of an atrocious outrage
at an early hour Tuesday morning.
The victim was DR.. l.. Il. Smith, a
physician of high standing in the
community. Between two and three
o'clock the Doctor was aroused by a
loud rap at his door, and upon asking
the cause was told by the party at
the door that he wanted tooth
pulled. The unsuspecting Doctor had
no sooner opened the door than he
was confronted by three men, all
masked. and with drawn revolvers
demanded that he hand over all his
money. Resistance was in vain. He
was Knocked down and beaten in a
most fiendish and inhuman manner
and left for dead. The desperadoes
then overpowered the other inmates
Of the household and proceeded to
ransack the house at their leisure
Between $400 and $500 was obtained
by the desparadoes, when they dis
appeared.

Married in Jest.

Mr.. j. Fletcher Marcum, of Cat
lettsburg, and Miss Laura Duke
Smith, of Lexington, attended q social
gathering in Ashland, KY, one even
ing last week, and a young minister
and the county clerk were among the
guests. After u while some one sug-
gested mock marriage. and Mr..
Marcum and Miss Smith volunteered
to be the bride and bridegroom. The
county clerk was appealed to and
made out the license and the minister
performed the ceremony. Nothing
more was thought of the affair until
Friday, when it was mentioned to u
lawyer, who declared that the mar
riage was legal one This view is
accepted as correct, and the make
believe bride and bridegroom are in
tensely distressed. To add to the
complication, Mr.. Marcum was en-
gagged to an estimable young lady of
Ashland. The courts will have to be
appealed to for relief Mr.. Marcum is

A Pond that Disappears.

Haw pond is about seventeen miles
east of Cordele, Ga, and is perhaps
one of the most wonderful natural
curiosities in the State. 1t annually
sinks with roar about this time of
the year, and in a few minutes every
drop of water disappears One day
last week about a dozen Cordelians
left for the pond. They carried fish
ing tackle in abundance and spent a
day and night catching any number
of the finest specimens of the finny
tribe. They met about fifty others
who had gathered at the pond to fish
and wait for the water to disappear.
Where the fishermen dropped their
lines to the depth of ten feet Thurs
day night there was scarcely a drop
of water Saturday morning. In a day
the water had disappeared completely.
For miles around the ground is said
to be unstable and liable at any
moment to sink. Only few weeks
ago the bottom dropped out in one
place, and now only the tops of the
trees can be seen above the ground.
Every year large crowds from the sur
rounding country gather to witness
the disappearance.

A Bear Story From Tennessee.

The Sweetwater (Tenn.) News, in a
recent issue, tells the following story:
The baby ola farmer named Charles
Yancy, who lives on the Chilihowee
mountain, fifteen miles south of
Athens, was carried off by black
bear last Monday. 1ancy went to
work in the morning, leaving in his
cabin his two children, one ten years
old and the other girl baby aged
five months. About noon Yancy
returned home and found his girl in
tears. She said she had taken the baby
to the yard and left it while she went
into the house. In few minutes she
heard a cry and on looking out, saw
the baby in the mouth "of something
black The father knew at once
that bear had visited his home, and
he summoned his neighbors to dis
tant portion of the mountain, for
which the bear had made. In about
two hours the sound of shot sum
moned the searchers together One
of the men had found the bear, and
was engaged in conflict withit. he
had emptied his gun at the big bear
and broken a leg, and was using his
gun as u club when reinforcements
arrived. The bear was finally killed,
and then the terribly agonized parent
saw his infant dead, the body badly
lacerated.n

A Dreadful Disaster.

A fearful accident occurred on the
Norfolk g. Western Railroad early
Tuesday morning near Thaxton's, 90
miles from Roanoke The train that
was wrecked was the passenger train
leaving Roanoke at 1905 a. III. Rain
had been falling almost continuously
and at times very heavily for twenty
four hours, swelling the mountain
streams greatly beyond their normal
state. Several trains had passed over
the road during the night, and it was
thought that the line was safe for
traffic, Notwithstanding the rains, and
that no danger need be apprehended.
At the place of the accident, however,
the water had undermined the road
bed and caused washout about 80
feet long and so feet wide. The wa
ter at this point was 8 to 10 feet deep.
Into this watery gulch the engine
made frightful leap while running
at the rate of forty miles an hour,
carrying with it the entire train. AS
the engine struck bottom the rushing
of the water into the locomotive ex-
ploded the boiler. This fact greatly
augmented the catastrophe. Debris
was thrown in every direction by the
force of the explosion, injuring some
of those on the train by the flying
fragments, and scattering firebrands,
which ignited the woodwork Of the
coaches. The flames spread and de-
stroyed large amount of mail and
express matter, besides spreading
panic among the already terror-stricll-
EN- passengers. The baggage, ex-
press, smoker, passenger and two
Pullman cars were burned. The rail
road officials refused to give any i'll
formation in regard to the affair, but
it is believed that the loss of life is
very great. The killed as far as pos
itively ascertained are: Patrick Dono-
van, Lynchburg, engineer; Chas.
Bruce, Roanoke, fireman; l.. b. Sum-
mers, Abingdon, mail agent; A. 5.
Frances. Marion, mail agent; Nathan
Cohen, merchant, Roanoke, en- route
to Germany to visit his parents; w.
G.. Stead, Cleveland, Tennessee. en-
route for Paris; A. NJ. James, Roa-
noke, travelling engineInan of the
road; j. w. Linsay, Roanoke, train
dispatcher; Dennis Melon, Roanoke,
janitor Norfolk and Western offices,
Ell route to New York to be married;
and little niece of Mrs. Judge Thorn
as, of Staunton. 1t is believed that
fifteen of twenty others persisted, as
there were nearly seventy passengers
on the train, and that number, prob
ably more, are unaccounted for. The
dead were horribly cremated
Bishop Alpheus w. Wilson was
among the injured, his wrist having
been badly cut and his body bruised.
He lost his clothes, his gold watch
and $500 in money. Fourteen thous-
and dollars were found in the peck
cts of Mr.. Stead when he was pulled
from the wreck. None of the passen-
gers in the sleeper saved any money
or clothes.

Were Lovers in Their Youth.

Society people in Port Jervs and
Binghamton, n. Y, have uncommon
interest in the marriage of two we'll
known persons in their respective
town who long since passed the sew
enty-year limit. The groom is Jos.
Conkling, aged eighty-three years,
long a resident of Binghamton, and a
fine-looking and active old gentle
man. He has an ample fortune The
bride is Mrs. Maria Edwards, of Port
,Jervis, aged seventy-three years, and
remarkably well. preserved and
sprightly old lady. The marriage rite
was performed at the brides residence
by the Rev. S. w. Galloway, of the
Methodist church. More than fifty
years have passed since Jos. Conk-
ling and Maria Tuttle were neighbors
and lovers, living with their parents
near Batavia, n. Y. 1t was the old
story of the penniless sutton frowned
upon and turned away by the ,maid-
ems well-to-do and obdurate parents
The disappointed lovers went their
respective ways and found other con-
sorts, who, after many years died
Thus bereaved, and after many years
of separation, the old time lovers met
again by chance, renewed their vows,
and were married.
