TREMENDOUS HA1LsroRM.
1t Extends Over the Northern and Eastern
Portions of the County.

| Portions of the County.
From several people from the
country and neighboring towns in
the county who visited the city yes
terday the BANNER learns that por-
tons of the county we're visited at a
late hour on Tuesday night by one
of the heaviest hailstorms ever
known to have fallen in this section
1t came from the northeast, began
about eleven o'clock in the night
and lasted thirty minutes. Mr.. ]. c.
Muse, who lives on the Brennan and
Washington road, four or five miles
beyond Kuykendall, SAYS that it tore
shingles off of houses in his neigh
borhood, and that it only extended
in this direction as far as the Kuy-
kendall. He says that yesterday
morning after breakfast the hail was
still lying on the ground and could
have been gathered up in wagon
loads. Mr.. Andrew Rogers, man.
ager of Mr.. Joe P. Jackson's farm,
in the Graball neighborhood, says
that the hail accumulated there
eight inches deep. Messrs. H. o.
and Willie Robertson, who reside in
the Independence neighborhood,
says it was one of the heaviest hail
storms they ever knew of. Mr.. H.
0. Robertson says he picked up a few
hailstones> yesterday morning, and
that they were SO large he could not
hold but five in his hand at one time
with every finger spread out. He
intended to come into town Ia a
wagon yesterday, but concluded that
the roads would be too heavy after
the rain. He accordingly rode into
town horseback, and was much sur
prised to find after travelling three or
four miles that the road was almost |
as dry as a powder-horn. A
hailstorm also visited |
the eastern end of the county below
Chappell Hill. The people in the !
town of Chappell Hill knew nothing
of it, and when Jodie Routt, a
farmer, reported it yesterday
morning they did not be-
lieve it. He offered to wager he
could go out and bring in as much as
ten pounds not yet melted. A SO
wager was easily secured and he
went out and soon returned with
fifty pounds of hailstones. Mr..
Christian Meyer, who resides south
Of town, was visiting down in the
Hill neighborhood at the
line, and he brought some of the
that had been wedged
Ind compressed in solid mass up to
he BANNER Office yesterday after
loon, which at this writing has not
ret melted. When the farmers from
lifferent directions began to come
nto town yeste day and report the
lailstorm it was at first very difficult
o get anybody to believe them.
very heavy, as far as
earned the storm did not do much
lamage, except to split few shin
,les on the roofs of houses. It
would have been death to the corn
f the freeze hadn't cut it down.

F1attened Against His Skull.


Charley Johrson, colored boot
black sixteen OF eighteen years o.
age, the son of Ambrose johnson
who follows the occupation of a gar
dener, was accidentally shot at the
chill and tamale stand kept by Frank
Collins on West Sandy street, next
to DR.. Williamson's brick building
yesterday at noon, just after the
northbound Santa Feand westbound
Central passenger trains had pulled
out. The negro boy went to the
place and ordered a plate OF chill,
which was handed out to him, and
while young Collins was cutting a
slice of bread to go with the chill
the pistol, a thirty-eight caiber, was
in some manner discharged and the
ball struck and flattened against the
boys skull to the right and just
where the forehead begins to recede.
1t imbedded itself under the skin
and was cut out by DR.. Ed Becker.
The surface of the ball which struck
the skull was as smooth as a billiard
table and as fat as a pancake. Char
ley suffered no unpleasant effects,
whatever, from the wound, and DR..
Becker pronounced that the skull
had not been fractured or in any
way injured. Shortly after the oc-
currence the reporter Of the BANNER
interviewed both the young negro
and young Collins and got
their statements. The bootblack
says that the shooting was inten-
tional, that few words passed be-
tween him and Collins, and that the
first thing he knew Collins pulled
out the pistol and shot him. Collins
says the pistol belonged to his
brother Harry, who gave it to
him yesterday morning to take down
town and try to sell for him. 1t
was double action British bulldog
and was lying on the shelf He says
the negro boy asked permission to
look at it and that he handed it to
him; and that while he was slicing
she bread and paying no attention to
lhe bootblack it was discharged.
The bootblack left his plate of chill
and nickle which he had pulled |
out of his pocket to pay for it on the |
,ounter and ran out into the street,
which Collins said made him believe
It first the negro boy had shot at |
Inn. From all all that could be
earned the shooting was unques-
ionably accidental

Will Be Admitted,
Notwithstanding That the Law
Says They Shall Not,

And Prehiblts the Publishing OF tho
Details of the Execution The Two
Reporters to BE sworn as Jurors in
Order to Relieve the Prison OEiciaIs of
All Responsibility.
ALBANY, N. Y, April 1l.-There was
a consultation of the prison authorities
here Wednesday, to perfect the arrange
nents for the electrocution of KeInmler
atsaAuhuru, leisoEh Warden punkian,
superintendent Latlnop and BGsSai
Charles Mcdonald, commissioner of
lunacy, discussed the matter at length
The admission of representatives of the
press was the hardest part to arrange
The inflicl ing a new method of capital
punishment prohibits the publishing of
the details of the execution. The pres
sure, however, of newspaper men,
scientists and doctors Is so great that it
was decided to go so far as the law
would allow.
Two newspaper men -one represent
ing the United Press and the other the
Associated Press will be admitted
They are to be selected at the headquar-
tiers in New York, and must be proven
beyound doubt to be newspaper men,
and not interested in the success of any
company supplying electricity for any
purpose The officials are keenly on
their guard TO prevent the admission of
any representative of the Westinghouse
company, whose system is to be used,
lest some hitch may occur and color be
given to the points that company raised
against electrocution in the appeal Of
the Kemmler case.
The two press men will be sworn as
jurors, and if the newspapers publish the
details of the execution the warden and
prison officials will not be the ones that
will break the law. 1t is on this theory
that they are admitted. Among the
other ten jurors will be Elbridge T. Gerry
and his associates, who were on the com
mission who drafted the law, Referee
Tracy Beckerand Cayuga county's judge
and district attorney. Besides these
there will be five assistants to Harold

forwarded to her a certificate from the
clerk of that county to this fact.
Until a few months ago this certii-
cate was believed to be genuine, but
after nearly ten years Mrs. Brown dis
covered that the certificate was forged,
and that no divorce had ever been pro-
cured. She sued for divorce, and
Brown was served with the papers at
his home, but made no response, and no
one appeared for him when the case was
called before Judge Walker.
