Own Existence,

ALLENDALE, N. j., Sept. s.-A shock
ing double tragedy aroused great excite
ment here to-day. Isaac Carlyle of New
York City, while guest at the country
residence of the family of the late Civil
Justice Wandell, was shot down in cold
blood by William Doing, who had been a
coachman in the service of the family for
nineteen years. After numbering Carlyle
the coachman attempted to XIII Frank
Wandell, and failing in this turned the
weapon upon himself and sent bullet
through his own heart.
The Wandells and the Caryles have
been on intimate terms for many years.
The Wandells are very wealthy, owning
much property in the vicinity of Eighty
third street and Lexington avenue, New
York. The family consists of mother, two
sons and two grown daughters.
The Carlyle family consisted of Isaac B.

greeting discharged the contents of shot

Lodged in Jail.

Keeper Wells Saturday night and riddled
his house with bullets. The men, who
numbered over fifty, defed the authori-

Springfield if an attempt was made to
arrest them.
Yesterday at dusk the Sheriff arrested
Joe Settle, member of the mob, and
brought him in to jail at midnight. In
the meantime, however, the mans friends
got wind of the affair and moved on
Springfield, apparently to put the threat
to burn the town into execution.
The arrest occurred at o'clock, and at
o'clock the large tobacco warehouse of
P. w. Mclaughlin, within square of the
courthouse, was in flames.
The people, remem bering the threat,
thought 1t was being executed, and in a
few moments the streets were alive with
men armed to the teeth and determined
to give the incendiaries a warm reception
il they attempted any further outrage.
To-day business practically suspended
and every man is armed. The names of
some fifty participants in the outrages
are known, and the Sheriff has organized
posse 10 capture them.

The next match to attract attention was
the one between Jones and Harper, the
Monterey County champions. and Nichol-
son and Gage of Oakland. This match,
although not as high grade as some of the
others played during the day, attracted
much interest from the fact that there was
desire to see how the local men would
play against the city cracks After three
hard sets the Monterey team came out
victorious. and was heartily congra tulated.
Score: 6-3 Ga. Ga.

terey players, and although the latter
played well at times they were not able 10
handle Driscoll's drives and Hardy's
smashes. The score was 6-3, Ga, Ga

Whitneys, 81, 60. 60
Quite an ovation met Weihl and Suydam
as they stepped into he central court 10 try
conclusions with the Oakland cracks,
Hardy ami Driscoll. AS these teams are
from rival sections it was hoped by the
San Francisco contingent that their rep
resentatives would win, and then the
finals would be in the club. Driscoll and
Hardy upset all their calculations by win
ming in straight sets. AT one time, how
ever. the pony team was within point of
winning the second set. The score was6A,

BALLOON ON FIRE At SEA
Thrilling Finale to a Labor Day
Demonstration in New
Jersey.
The Airship and Its Occupants Plunged
Into He'll Gate Waters Leaving
No Trace Behind.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Sept. S.-Several
persons on Wards Island about $50 o'clock
last night saw a large balloon about 800
feet in the air drifting to the southeast.
When about 300 feet south of "Nigger
Rock" the balloon was seen to be on fire.
In an instant it began to descend rapidly
and striking the water at He'll Gate sank
Immediately.
Many persons who saw the balloon from
Wards Island state that there was q bas-
ket attached to the balloon, and in the
dusk of the evening they saw in it what
they supposed to be man, and from his
motions he was either throwing out ballast
or waving a flag. When the basket de.
scended into the strong current of He'll
Gate the balloon settled over it and the
mass disappeared so quickly beneath the
water that party which put out in a boat
at once could find no trace of it. Those
who saw it say the balloon was burning
when it struck the water.
The men on Wards Island believe that
the balloonist was unable TO extricate him.

which was passing at the time, kept up
constant whistling, and it was thought
that the balloonist had been picked up by
the craft, although those familiar with
the currents in this part of the river
say that this was almost impossi.
Bile. The man could scarcely live a
minute in the water near Niger
Rock in the food tide, no matter
how powerful a swimmer he might be-
The current was so swift that no one
could make headway against it. They say
it would undoubtedly throw a swimmer
against the sharp rocks with so much
force that it would stun him. If he es-
capped the rocks he would be borne up the
stream and his chances of making the
shore would be snail.
The balloon was of the kind ordinarily
used in making ascensions for DISPLAY.
1t came from the northwest and probably
was sent up at some Labor day celebration
in New Jersey.
The police are confident that the aero
naut was drowned, and the work of drag
ging for the body will be begun this morn
ing. Several places up the sound were
teegraphed TO last night, but at none was
there a report of steam launch coming
in with man rescued from drowning.

THE KILLING WAS UNSUITABLE.
Result of an Inquiry Into Case Where
an Officer Orders MutinouS Soi-
der to Be Shot

NEW YORK, N. Y, Sept. S.-A Tribune
special from Washington says: The War
Department has made public the proceed
ings OF the court of inquiry recently con-
vened in the Department of the Platte to
examine into the circumstances of the
killing of private in Company c in pur-
suance of an order from a commissioned
officer to a soldier who shot the private
The case has attracted considerable at
tention among the officers of the army
owing to the question involved of the
right of an officer to order man under
his command to shoot comrade in time
of peace. In several cases in the West
soldiers under certain conditions, but the
case here referred to differs from those
previously decided in many respects.
The officer who ordered the shooting is
First Lieutenant w. o. Clark of the
Twelfth Infantry. The circumstances
were these: A private of the Twelfth In
fantry named Weaver assaulted First
Sergeant Livingston OF the same regi-
ment. In the course of the scrimmage
which took place Weaver broke loose
from the sergeant and running TO gun
case IN the Guardroom picked up a musket
and fired at the non commissioned officer.
The shot killed him.
After killing Sergeant Livingston
Weaver assumed a threatening attitude
toward other soldiers standing by. Among
the witnesses of the killing was Lieuten-
ant Clark. Fearing that Weaver would
fire again ne ordered Private Strine to
shoot to kill Weaver. This Strine did,
Weaver falling dead. The court of in
quiry, after investigating all the facts,
found that the shooting of Weaver by
Strine was proper and necessary and the
action of Lieutenant Clark in the case was

NEW YORK. N. Y, Sept. S.-A Sun
special from Dublin, Ca, says. Mrs. Fan
ME Twiggs is the young and beautiful wife
of Judge H. D. Twiggs. Her name has
been involved with that of George NJ.
Brinson, wealthy real estate owner in
Emanuel County.
Brinson and Mrs. Twiggs have been in
correspondence with each other for sew
eral weeks. Sunday Brinson visited Col
Inns, small station on the Georgia and Ala
bama railroad. He remained until even
ing. On going to the station to leave
town he pulled his handkerchief from his
coat pocket and letter dropped to the
ground. Some men picked it up and be-
lore they could return it TO the owner the
train left.
The men read the missive. 1t was from
Mrs. Twiggs, inviting Brinson to go on a
pleasure trip to Tybee Island, a summer
resort near Savannah, and also asked him
to bring along friend, as she had a young
woman friend who would accompany her
The letter was mailed to Judge Twiggs
de was very angry ON reading it and q
scene ensued when he confronted his wife.
He then sent challenge for a duel to
Brinson and requested an immediate re-
ply. Brinson studied the situation and
decided not 10 accept the challenge. Judge
Twlggs then sent him word that he would
kill him on sight. The matter stands in
this way at present.

SENATOR oARTER,s COURSE.
AdUiseS All Montana Republicans to

AdUiseS All Montana Republicans to
stand by McRinLey.
HELENA, Mont, Sept. S.-Senator Car
ter's statement regarding the course of
conduct he pursued as a delegate to the
st. Louis convention is published to-day
in the form OF an open letter to the men,
bers of the Republican State Convention
of Montana which the Senator says he
will be unable to attend. The Senator
lauds the Republican party for its achieve
ments, and in reciting the action of the
National Convention on the currency
question declares he was dissatisfied with
the declaration in favor of the gold stand
ard. The platform of the Chicago conven-
ton, however. is denounced as "load
greater than silver can bear" He adds:
do not believe in free coinage coupled with
free trade, and do not believe both can be
successfully established and maintained by
our Government. The free-trade policy will
render the establishment of bimetallism an
utter impossibility. After looking the whole
situation over 1t will be found that the Repub-
lican party has not declared in favor of the
gold standard, but in favor of the restoration
OF silver.
Mr. Carter regards the Republican de-
claration as too conservative, but as be-
tween its acceptance and that of the Chi
cago platform with its free trade, States
rights, free riot and other Objectionable
features the Senator finds no room to
hesitate, and urges on the Montana con-
vention the placing of Mckinley electors
IN the field as its duty.
He denies the right of the delegates to
nominate Bryan electors, and advises the
silver Republicans who support Bryan to
keep their hands of the convent tion, while
asking the "broadest possible charity" for
them at the hands of the delegates.
In the future as in the past the Senator
says he will stano for protection and free
coinage, and will give Mckinley his sup
port because he thinks the best interests
of the State and country will be suDserved
by Republican victory. He advises the
State Convention to declare for tree COIN
age in its platform and indorse the rest of
the National platform. In conclusion the
Senator predicts The return of the bolting
Republicans 'in due season."
