There is business man in Philadel-
phia who is a terror to stenographers.
His amanuensis, who has been with him
for a long time, was recently taken
sick. The employer mailed a letter to
local business college to send him a
stenographer and typewriter. The
business man is very particular about
his vocabulary, and wants everything
written just as he dictates it. There
fore, in order to test the newcomers
accuracy, he, instead of debating an
ordinary business letter, gave forth the
following at rate of speed that would
do justice to u stump speaker: "In
promulgating your esoteric cogitation
or articulating your superficial senti-
mentalities and amicable philosophical
or psychological observations beware
of platitudinous ponderosity- Let"
But he got no further, for the poor
amanuensis broke his pencil in the eff
fort, after which he got up, wiped the
perspiration from his forehead and
quickly left the Office.

murder. When he attempted to
make the arrest at Palarm, Korr
opened fire on the officer. The first
shot struck Owens in the groin, the
bullet striking silver coin in the
trousers pocket, glanced and inflicted
serious wound. The money in
Owens pocket probably saved his
life.
Andry and Clarke went to Owens
assistance and Eve or six negroes
joined in with Korr. A pitched bat
tie enaued, in which over fifty shots
were fired When the shooting was
over Andry and Peters lay dead.
Clarke had got into his Office and
fell on the floor Ovens was lying
in ditch near the station, and Korr
and the remainder OF his companions
had disappeared.
The entire town was at the scene
of the shooting and posse started
in pursuit of the fleeing negroes.
Harrison Korr was found lying dead
in the road a mile away, literally
shot to pieces. blood running from
five wounds in bis tody. The other
negroes who participated in the
bloody affair continued their flight
and have not vet been captured.
The whole county is in fever oi
