a DOUBLE KILLING.
Tillman's Dispsnsary Law Responsible for
Two Deaths.


COLUMBIA, s. c., Aug. 9s.-This after.
noon at $3.50 o'clock a bloody battle was
enacted at Blacksmith, whereby Solomon
Brown and John Gribben, dispenssry
constables, were killed. The double
killing was the result of an old foud
between Gribben and the influential
Brown family.
Gribben went to the depot yesterday
and opened case OF dry goods con-
signed to Solomon Brown, ostensibly
for the purpose OF seizing contraband
whiskey. Simon Brown, the father of
Solomon, met Gribben on the street
later and roproached him for opening
his package, accusing him of persecu-
ton. The quarrel waxed warm and
was joined by his sons, Solomon,
Isadore and Herman.
GribbeD offered to fight any one OF
them and Isadore, 90 years old. accepted
the challenge. Gribben struck at him,
but the blow was parted and Brown
knocked Gribben down. At this Juno
ture pistols were pulled and six or seven
shots fired in quick succession. Gribben
was shot through the left shoulder and
near the heart. He staggered into
store, firing at the same time at the
Browns.
A bullet struck Solomon Brown, who
fell half way to tho ground. Gribben
continued his firing and one bullet
penetrated Solomon Browns head kill
ing him instantly. Another bullet pene-
rated his heart. When Gribben's pistol
was emptied he walked through the
store to the back yard where ne fell
and died in ten minutes.

AT CHICAGO.
The Expected Rush to tho Revenue ONCE
VIII Continue for Thirty Days

CHICAGO, Aug. 2s.-Before o'clock
this morning ali previous records of
customs receipts at the port OF Chic .go
had been broken. BY that hour 500, 600
had poured in over the ledge at the
cashiers window. By 1915 o'clock
SOB, 260. 80 were the receipts from GUS
toms and all of this was in United
States Treasury notes or gold. No class,
certified or otherwise, not even ma
tionel bank notes, were current with
Uncle Sam at tho captains Office. The
receipts for the day, Collec .or Russell
thought, would run between Sl50,000
and $4,000 The largest receipts for
any day heretofore were 5000
The great mass Of the merchandise
withdrawn from the bonded warehouse
consisted of dry goods Large quaint
ties also arrived in bond in cars, and
within few hours hundreds of thou
sands OF dollars worth were distributed
around at the various railroad stations
ready for shipment to replenish the de-
pleted stocks all over the West and the
Northwest. Every big dry goods house
in the city had representatives at the
custom house early and all were in q
rush.
Taking all du table articles together,
the reduction in the tariff will amount
to about 90 per cent Goods in bond
placed on the free list by the law may
be withdrawn without duty, but there
is very little of this class of goods in
bond here, only little salt and some
burlaps on which the duties amount to
about Sl4, 900. The great bulk of with
drawals was dry goods. Collector Rus
sell expects the rush to continue for
fully thirty days. There is in bond
here now, not counting the daily re-
ceipts by cars, which will not go into
storage but will be distributed immedi-
ately. merchandise on which the duties

CHANGE OF TARIFF.
A Grand Ruth of Those Who Desire Not to
Lose by Difference in Duties.

BosToN Aug. 2s.-As early as 2
formed in front OF the customs house,
composed OF the clerks and brokers and
of importers to BIZ the first to take their
goods out of bond. When the doors
opened at o'clock the warehouse de-
par,ment was at once allod and the
double force of clerks assigned to duty
in this office was bosieged to make the
proper entries for the release of the
goods.
Although the bookkeepers and clerks
had worked until midnight getting
every thing in order for the anticipated
rush, they approached their task with
the utmost good nature and dispatched
the business with surprising celebrity.
The papers had all been so arranged
that every man was served in his turn
without annoyance, confusion or unnec-
essarv delay. As the day advanced the
crowd increased and, while all kept
their temper and were not disposed to
crowd, much impatience was shown to
get possession of their goods as fast as
possible. How long this rush will con-
tinue 1t Is impossible to say, but proba-
bly, until most OF the bonded goods have
been taken out.
1t is also expected that importations
will be very heavy for some time, or
until the stocks of goods, which have
been permitted to run low under the
operations of the Mckinley bill, have
been replenished. In anticipation of
tho great rush OF business to-day en-
ployes in the custom house, who were
on their vacations, were summoned
back and the vacations of others have
been cancelled until the department. Is
relieved of the great strain that has
been put upon it by the changes that
have been made in the tariff.

Of the most attractive curosites is
. the Devils Punch Bowl. Why Il
punch bowl, or why the peculiar
property Of his Satanic Majesty, or
why there should be so-called pulpit
in it, tradition has forgotten to keep
record. All that one knows is that
it is called the Devil Punch Bowl.
A drive of a little over three miles
over hard roads, II turn into the dense
primeval forest, and suddenly on top
of grand elevation surrounded by
magnificent hammock timber, the
Punch Bowl is at your feet.
There are several ways to reach the
bottom of the bowl. The most ex-
peditious is to let loose and roll down,
but that is rather undignified. Once
down its depths, its size is forcibly
impressed on the mind, for what you
took to be saplings and stones de-
velop into magnolia and wahoo trees
measuring five and six feet i'm circum-
ference, and the stones that looked
SO handy from the brink become
boulders of very respectable size
1t is hard to estimate the area Of the
bowl, but between one and two acres
will probably approximate its size at
the top, while the bottom is about
one-fourth Of this size and is from
sixty TO seventy feet below, the top
most boughs OF the trees barely
reaching the level Of the surrounding
ground. Its steep sides are draped
with beautiful ferns, mosses and
vines, and dotted all over with vio-
lets. modestly hiding away with the
delicate maidenhair fern under the
protecting leaves Of the palmettos
and vines. Looking up the sides OF
the steep slope the picture left on

a New verk Doctor Gives His Bleed
For q Patient.

The layman's invsriable test OF
surgery is implied in his question,
Did the patient get well?" IL the
answer is negative, he doesn't care
for the operation. The doctor s
views are not SO prejudiced. lie
knows surgery when he sees it, and
recognizes the merit Of il, when il
has merit, without regard TO idiosyn-
crasies of the patient. When the
doctor says that the operation was.
entirely successful, but the patient
died, the layman usually says moth
ing, but looks Respondent. But even
layman can understand the success
of that operation the other day at
the Long Island College Hospital,
whereby the blood of DIR. Franklin
Kemp was run into the veins OF Kate
Pomphrey. Kate Pomphrey had
been found almost asphyxiated with
gas, and was dying. DR. Kemp, the
house surgeon at the hospital, pro-
posed To try TRANSMISSION of blood, and
offered 10 contribute the blood. The
operation was done before two hum
dred students in the operating-room
OF the hospital, and though mis-
chances delayed its success and lot
of good blood was wasted, through
the efforts of two surgeons, and large
ly through DIR. kemp's own pluck and
persistence, il was presently made To
work right, and for five minutes blood
did run through tube out of his
veins and into hers. The effect was
Immediate. The woman. who had
been black in the face and very near
death, revived at once, and though she
died twenty-four hours later of other
complications (Bright's disease), it
remains clear that her life was

great changes in British politics.
History is full OF great events depend
ent on incidents quite as trifiing as
the accident to Mr.. Gladstone's eye
two years ago.
HISTORY repeats itself in the south
western Territories in the recent
building of great storage reservoirs
for the turning of the desert into
arabic land through irrigation. These
things were done in the same region,
in days before Columbus, by race
of Aztec kinship, now surviving only
in few scattered villages. Traces
of their old reservoirs, canals, and
bitches are still visible in tracts now
being again developed by town and
irrigation. companies. The town OF
Eddy, in Lincoln county, y. NJ, and
the productive country about il, is
one of the best examples of the re-
suits OF this modern application of
old modes of agriculture. The con-
struction of dams, with proper escape
ways for the carrying of of floods
and silt, has passed the experimental
stage and has been reduced To prac-
tical and profitable science applied
on vast scale. The cost of the dam
recently built at Eddy, which is to
form distributing reservoir, was
1928, coo. Above this a great dam
costing 5000, 600, built for reserve
storage of the rivers flow, expands in
a lake larger than Lake Chatauqua.
These reservoirs are indispensable to
the agriculture of that region at all
seasons, for already the farmers and
fruit growers are preparing to irri-
gate their wheat, alfalfa, and or
chards.

A man Of about sixty years OF age
went into store on Main street
Wednesday afternoon and stood by
the stove warming himself and listen
ing TO the conversation OF the men
present. Happening to glance at a
barrel Of apples by the counter, he
took one up and bit it. He stopped,
looked at the apple, and then stopped
refectively. After taking another
taste Of the apple, he broke out:
Say, I'd almost be willing 20 bet
dollar that / can tell where this apple
grew. There is only one tree on
earth that has the favor that apple
has, and il grew back OF the house
