Love Causes Two Murders.

EAGLE PASS, Tex, Sept. 9.-The
little town of Leona, Mexico, twenty
Eve miles South of here was the scene of
a sensational double tragedy last night.
The Mayor Of the town is Julian Gre
dsntz, a young man Of fine personal ap'
pearance and much ability. he was
supposed to be the favorite suitor of Miss
Anita Lopez, daughter of wealthy land
and mine owner. Cerdentz had rival
in Lieut.. Rafael Soles, of the Mexican
Army, ho was sent here at the time of
the Cara excitement with his company,
and has been stationed here since.
Lieut.. soles became insanely jealous of
Mayor Cerdentz and threatened to kill
him and Miss Lopez if he ever saw them
together. He carried this threat into
execution last night at a fandango given
by the society people Of Leona which
WAS attended by the couple.
Lieut.. Soles met them at the door as
they we're leaving the ball room and shot
them both. They fell in each others
arms. Their slayer made his escape.
He is believed to have made for the
mountains. A detachment Of his own
company of soldiers is in pursuit.
There is great excitement at Leons
over the affair. Lieut.. soles stands high
as an officer in the Mexican Army.

A Tree Decided to Itself.

In one respect at least the Clarke
County (Ga.) court house is the reposi.
tory of the most remarkable legal docu.
ment ever drawn up by man. 1t is on
Gle in the Office of the recorder of deeds,
where it has been for nearly century.
The unique legal document is in shape
of deed, the grantee being an oak tree.
The tree as it now stands is in front of
the residence of Major Stanley at Athens,
on what was formerly farm owned by
Colonel VII. jackson. It Was an odd
transaction all round, one eminently
characteristic of the grantor, who was
known as man of strong loves and
hates, having many of the former and but
few of the latter. He and the old tree
grew up together, and the leaniugs Of his
peculiar nature caused him to reverence
the gigantic oak as though it were q
thing of animate life.
When in ripe old age the colonel re.
fected that he would soon be called,
Eence it grieved him to think of leaving
the tree to the mercy of any destroyer
capable of welding an ak. With the
thought in mind he went to the court.
house and recorded this remarkable in
strument: IT, W. a. Jackson, of the
County of Clarke, State of Georgia, of
the first part, and the oak tree (giving
location) Of the other part, witnesseth {:
That the said W. H. Jackson, for and in
consideration of the great affection he
bears for said tree and his desire to see 1t
protected, has conveyed and by these
presents does convey and confirm unto
said tree entire possession of itself and of
the land within eight feet of it on all
Sides" From the. tenor of the deed tho
tree is not only possessor Of itself, but is
Georgia real estate holder.

The Latest In Insurance.

LONDON, Sept. 21.-The Pro vident
Bounty association has published pros
pectus, recommending itself to the pat.
ronsge of all families, and especially to
that of young married couples. Its OBJ
ject is to insure married people against
twins and triplets. A married man,
expecting to become father, the pros
pectus states, must deposit five
pounds to become policy holder. In
case the policy holders wife has twins,
he will receive fifty pounds; in case she
has triplets seventy.five pounds. The
conditions of Issuing policies are simple,
and are intended to appeal especially to
the lower middle class, including the
young bookkeepers, shop clerks and
small tradesmen. The capital of the
concern is 100000. All the directors
are reputable men of considerable prop.

A Farmers Assurance Company.

On Saturday last at meeting in the
court house the farmers Of Fairfield
County organized branch of the Far
mer's Mutual Assurance Company. This
company was organized in Chester Coun.
ty sometime ago and under the charter
granted the privilege of organizing in
other Counties Was given.
The officers of the local branch are
President T. P. Mitchell, Secretary and
Treasurer T. z. Elliott.
The object of the association is to pro-
cure for farmers cheap insurance, as the
rates of insurance on country houses are
very much higher than on property situ'
ated within reach of fire service.
Each member of the association is re-
quired to pay an initiation fee of one
half per cent. of the face of the policy, no
further payment being made until the
occurrence of fire, in which event as
sessed in proportion to the value of their
policies.
A number of members were enrolled
Saturday and the association will doubt
less flourish in Fairfield Winnsb0ro

The l3lacksnake's Ways.

"You wouldn't believe me-" said old
Jacob Bloom of Laurel Run to gang Of
woodsmen the other day, ''you wouldn't
believe me if I'd tell you the blscksnake
is boss among snakes in this country, but
it's fact. A blacksnske will whip any
other kind of snake you can trot out,
and not half try"
Some of the boys laughed, says the
Punzutswney Spirit, and said they didn't
think blacksnake would be in it with
rattlesnake at all. There was a large
rattlesnake in the camp which the woods
men kept in box with glass cover on
to amuse themselves with after working
hours.
Jim Brewer, of this place, who hap.
pened to be there at the time and heard
MIR. Blooms observations, Clipped in
and said:
"I'll bet a blacksnake would not last
long if you'd put him in the box with
that rattler."
wouldn't p exclaimed Bloom, "Why,
he'd choke the rattler to death before he
knowed what Was the matter with him,
an in order to convince you O. the fac
I'll 60 out an capture blacksnake an
show you"
The subject was then dropped and the
boys forgot il, but about { O'Clock in the
afternoon the old man came in with
blacksnake q little over three feet long.
The rattler was nearly two feet longer.
"Now," he says, "rll show you how
it's DONE"
Ard he put the blacksnake into the
box with the rattler.
Both snakes seemed to be considerably
agitated. The rattler shook his tail with
an angry whizz and stuck out his tongue
in a menacing way, and the blacksnake
squi-med around and made several feins
with his tail. The rsttler was angry and
coiled himself to strike, but before he
was quite ready the blacksnake had
taken hitch around the rattler's neck
with his tail and begun to haul taut.
The rattler writhed and squirmed and
thumped himself around, but all to no
purpose. The blacksnake kept his hold
and drew tighter. Finally the contor-
tions of the rattler ceased. He was
dead. The blacksnake held on Eve
minutes longer, then calmly unfolded his
tail and hurled himself up iu corner of
the box.
'There p said the old man, triumph.
aptly. Hereafter when I tell you any.
thing about snakes you can put it down
as facts"

A Timely Legend.

The, fear of cholera kills more people
than the cholera itself was illustrated by
a story told by an old German citizen
yesterday. Many years ago, while the
cholera was raging in parts of Germany
and extending daily its baneful influence;
an old doctor, taking an evening stroll
outside the gates of his town, saw coming
towards him horrible object. Its form
and shape was human, butts aspect was
mass of corruption.
"Who aro you" asked the doctor.
81 am the cholera."
"Where sre you going?"
"I am going to that town"
The doctor, terrified, pleaded and beg
ged for the monster to change its route,
but to no purpose. It's road led through
the town and into the town it must 60.
But to compromise with the good old
doctor the cholera promised not to kill
more than five people in tho town. Next
morning tie physician was called to q
patient, whom he foand to have the
cholera. The cases multiplied hourly
and CONSERVATION spread among the peo'
pie of the city, and Gil those who could
get away did 30. There we're not five,
but there we're 5000 deaths in the town.
After the cholera had subsidized the doc
tor, in his walks, again met the cholera
spectre, and upbraided it for not
having kept its word with him. Said
the cholers:
II swear I have kept my promise-not
killed more than FIVE of your fellow.citi-
zens. The others died of fear."-Csn-
cinnat; Commercial.
