A NEGROES SLICK" TRICK.
It Was Robbery and Showing the Queer at the
 Same Time-He Makes His Escape,

Florence, Aug. 22.-(Special) l)-Last night at 10 o'clock a strange negro walked into the store of Charles Price, on Court street, and asked one of the clerks to give him change for $10. The clerk told the negro the cash had been locked up. The negro then informed the clerk that a lady across the street had sent him for the change, and insisted upon getting it. Emmet Cobourn, the clerk, took out his pocketbook and laid two S5 bills on the counter, when the negro threw down $10 in green goods, snatched the two fives and dashed out into the street and made his escape. The negro was bold in his undertaking, the robbery being com mitted on one of the principal streets of the city. The officers are on the look out for the highwayman, but his capture is an uncertainty, unless he tries to re- peat the game.
 Cobourn gives the following description of the negro. and it would be well for other people to look out for him in other towns: About feet inches in height, heavy built, ginger color, wore light coat black pants and Stetson hat.

SHOT SWEETHEART AND FATHER
And Then Jumped in the Basin, But He
 Weakened.

New Orleans. Aug 22.--A young man named Louis Gervais, aged 25 attempted to kill Miss Eugenia Methancourt and her father about 12 o'clock today. on Villere street, because of the refusal of the young lady to marry him. He has been courting the girl for more than two years, and claims they were engaged to be married, but her father interfered and prevented the marriage.
 Today he called at the home of the girl and demanded that she marry him at once. On her emphatic refusal to com ply he went away, but soon returned and renewed his demand. Again the girl re- fused and Gervais, becoming crazed with disappointment, drew a revolver and fired twice at the young lady. Her father rushed in on hearing the shots and Ger vais shot him three times.
 Making his way from the house he met young sister of the girl and knock ed her down with the butt of the pistol. He then ran to the old basin with the in- tention of committing suicide, but after jumping in he changed his mind and swan out, and was captured by the po- lice.
 Miss Bethancourt's wounds are slight, but her father is seriously hurt.

Seems to Have Been Trivial.

Washington, Aug. 22.-A statement re- ceived at the state department from Ma vroyeni Bey the Turkish minister to this country, indicates the reported attack on St. Pauls college, an American insti- tuition at Tarsus, Armenia, was erroneous and based on nothing more than a triv- ial incident. According to the minister's 5 account, which twas furnished him by his government, some Turks quarrelled with a servant employed by Professor Christi, formerly of Baltimore, Md, who is connected with the school, and the ser want was attacked and beaten by the natives. Mavroyeni Bey says in his statement that the offenders have been arrested and will be promptly punished.

sCIDENT TO A LITTLE BOY

Montgomery, Aug. 22.-(Special. .)-Th5 Seventh Day Adventists have for sey- eral weeks been holding a series of meet- ings at West End, and considerable in- terest has been manifested. The attend ance has been good and the proceedings full of interest.
 There Is nothing sensational nor calcu- lated to create an excitement or to play upon the feelings of the people, but the teachings Of holy writ are set forth in love and plainness, and left with the people to mediate upon in calm and so- Der moments.
 One feature prevailing their teachings IS their firm belief that the end of this world is near at hand, when Christ will separate the wheat from the tares by clouds of heaven. They are often mis- represented in respect to this doctrine
 Seventh Day Adventists have never been time-setters," nor had any con- nection with those who have fixed upon various dates for the end. They do. however, rest with perfect assurance upon the Saviors words, after He had spoken of the signs of His second advent.
 When ye shall see. all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors''- Mat. xxiv, 8.
 Also the apostles declarations: "Ye brethren are not in darkness that day should overtake you as a thief Ye are all the children of light."-1 Thes V. 4. For this reason the prophecies are care fully considered because they are plainly stated to be as light that shineth in a dark place, whereunto we do well to take heed. ''-2 Peter, l, 19
