Thorn's Accomplish Tells How Gull.
densuppe Was Killed.
There was an extraordinary turn of af.
fairs Wednesday in the Thorn murder
trial in Long Island City. Mrs. Augusta
Mack, who was indicted together With her;
erstwhile paramount, Martin Thorn, fox
the murder of her former lover. William
Guldensuppe, appeared in the role OF
a states witness against Thorn. For two.
hours and forty minutes Mrs. Mack occu-'
pied the witness chair, while she told tho
terrible story of how she lured
Guldcnsuppe to his death, and III
telling the tale she knew full we'll that SHE
was bringing her paramount 10 the electric
chair. When she was asked why she COLI
fessed she replied she wished to clear lmr
conscience. and then burst into tears.
When Lawyer How began his cross en-
animation lie handled her unsparingly,
and made her own up to such acts of pre-
meditation that the majority of those who
heard her admissions said that she WAS the
greatest culprit.
Thorn's lawyers have decided To put him
oi lac staiiu WIcH tile proper tlnle comes,
and they promise that when lie tells all lie
knows the court and jury, as well as the
spectators and reading public, will be
treated tn another sensation.
There is scarcely any doubt AS to the
fate which awaits the barber, but as yet
the prosecution has not stated what immu-
nifty shall be given Mrs. Mack for the un-
looked for position i'll which she placed
herself.

Ofcourse Jurors refrain from talking
for publication on their action They
claim, however, that their prejudice
against the dispensafy system and the
manner Of its enforcement has nothing
to do with the case. They do not
hesitate to say in justification of their
action that they prefer to accept the
word of alleged "blind-tigers" to that

The action of the jury, of course, e1-
cited o good deal of comment. Their
action is not, however, condemned gen.
orally, but there are many people who
think that it would have been for the
best interests of the city if ''true bills"
had been found and the cases given to

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
The Useful Oil Stove.

A writer in Table Talk, descsnting
upon the use of the little oil stove, says:
"It is surprising how much can be
done on one of these toy stoves with
one or two burners, especially when
one buys bread and cake and cooked
meats at our delicacy bakeries. There
is one objection to the oil stove. No
body likes it breath, and breathe it
must. I have discovered a way of
sweetening this bad breath, which
works like charm. Set the stove by
q window on the windward side Of the
room, with no especial draft to make it
smoke, and out at the window, which
is down an inch from above, will es-
cape a good deal OF its exhalation.
Then, when the meal is cooked, set
above the tiny flame, left on purpose
for few minutes, t.sacupful of water,
into which is dropped spoonful Of
spice-ginger or cinnamon or cloves.
The fragrance of the mixture when it
boils creeps into every corner and
drives before it every bit of griddle
cake odor or sausage smoke. The dis
agreeable scent one often meets in the
parlor oil stove or the bedroom heater,
50 popular of q cool morning, can be
concealed by bit Of spice scattered on
the tubing"

The Case Is Now Under Amusement
BY the Court
The Agricultural hall, now known as
the State dispensary, was the subject
of litigation before Judge Simonton in
the United States circuit court in Char
lesion on the 22d. The case came up
on the order issued at the instance of
the attorney general, compelling E. B.
Wesley to show cause why 8. W. Vance,
who is at present in control Of the dis
pensary, should not have been made q
party defendant to the suit. The mat
ter of the authority Of an officer to dis
possess the State Of its building and the
motion for the staying OF the execution
of Judgment issued by the supreme
court to place Wesley in charge of the
building, until the claims and rights of
Vance have been adjudicated, were also
ably and fully argued by the learned
counsel in the case. Mr.. w. n. Lyles,
who represented Wesley, was first
heard. He spoke for two hours and
was followed by Attorney General
Barber, who occupied about the same
time. Mr.. Lyles was also heard in re-
ply to Mr.. Barber. The arguments pos
sessed little of interest to one outside
of the legal profession, as they dealt
almost entirely with the law in the case.
The case was taken under advisement
by the court.

At Bamburg, . difficulty occurred be-
tween Mr.. T. Heber Wannsmsker and
Mr.. Chss- F. Jones, in which Mr.. Wan
namaker shot Mr.. Jones il the head,
inflicting instant death.
The trouble was the outgrowth OF bad
feeling engendered between the two
during the noted Copes-Murphy trial
in Orangeburg about two years ago, In
which Mr.. Wannamaker gave some tes-
timony regarding Mr.. Jones character,
at which the latter took exceptions.
Mr.. Wannamaker is q member OF the
New York cotton exchange and con-
nected with the firm OF Robert Moore q
Co., and is now in the South travelling
in the interest of the firms business.
Mr.. Jones was several years ago
State constable, q man OF splendid
physique, and acted in the capacity Of
special detective in the Murphy case.
The two met on the street In front OF
Messrs. Jones livery stables, and after
some words and blows Mr.. Wanna
maker fred the fatal .shot, which, he
claims, was in self-defense. After the
shooting he surrendered to the sheriff.
