During the early part of the week a
young widowed mother and her two
children, little boys. four and six
years old. lay at the city morgue the
silent subjects of idle curiosity seekers
who came to see them as they lay
there in their last sleep. 1t was a sad
sight; all three dead from a pistol
shot by the mothers hand. Sad, be-
cause the young mother had SEEM
ingly thought that nothing but power
ty and parting from her children lay
before her. She could not, would not
give her children away to others. and
she had not the strength nor the
means to provide for herself and her
BOYS. And so, in her despair, rather
than go out into the cold world
this bounteous world where there
should be and is enough for all
rather than face the trials which a
woman must endure, in the struggle
for uncertain existence, with two chill
dren, she chose to end her troubles
and anxities by killing her little boys
and taking the life of herself. \
young woman in the morning of life
and two bright children consigned to
the. tomb from poverty when under
other conditions it should have been
their happy privilege to live.

One of the astounding inventions CT
& the present century is a machine that
produces liquid air ut cost OF "bou:
: twenty cents galr,H. The temperate
!, .ure of liquid al: is' abon: 4oV degrees
below zero. Its commercial u'es arc
: almost innumerable. The expansive
force of liquid ar is twenty times as
great as that Of steam, and engines
are. being run by it :i.l New York. But
The most astonishing thing is the
latest statement thatan engine con-
& suming three gallons of liquid air WILL
by the force it generates, produce
\ seven gallons; that is, this invention
lis four-seyenthhs better than perpetual
motion. All this seems incredible, but
& the public exhibitions given in the
8 presence of prominent scientific
gentlemen and the endorsements they
ssallave given the claims of the inventor
seem to establish the claim that
great motive force hitherto unknown
B has really been invented. The machine
s. that produces liquid air is small, occu-
pies but little space and costs but
little to cons truct it. This is the.
most tremendous discovery of the age.
AT one fell swoop it displaces coal
and electric workers, miners, en-
arineers and firemen on sea and land
all over the world -millions and mill
/ 5 ions and millions Of them--7-all that are
/! & IN any way engaged or: contributing
!. their. labor, to converting force into
useable form. All our industries are
carried on by power-the method OF
getting power has been by round
about and tedious ways-such' as dig
cling coal, Harvesting water power,
5Sc,1alt ting and hauling wood and raising
horses and rules, etc. But the uni
verse. every atom of it is force, and
now itsappears that a method has been
found whereby this energy may be
directly appropriated with scarcely
any machinery and absolutely with
ssout3 human labor. Readers, we would
advise you to think, to read, other

The tragedy which occurred in our
city this week is certainly one of the
saddest that ever attracted the at
tention of the public. Two baby lives
snuffed out while in peaceful sleep
by tn hand of the mother and her
own following them into eternity with
but the span of Il few seconds, is a
tragedy-we cannot call it a crime
to arrest the attention of the most
unthinking. What mental suffering
and anguish endured by the mother
no one will ever know. What ter
r;ble circumstances drove her to such
a terrible deed no one will ever tell.
but that it is directly attributable to
the lack of friends. and unjust condi-
tons: the inability to earn decent
livelyhood for herself and children is
il well-known fact, over which angels
may well weep.

OBITUARY.

DIED-At the home Of Captain and Mrs.
l.. Nj. Grist, in Yorkville, on Sunday
morning September "a, at $50 O'Clock,
Miss MARY NJ. WISE, aged G3 years, !
months and 81 days. The deceased was q
native of Spartanburg county; but has
resided in Yorkville with her sister, Mrs.
Grist, since 1856. She had many friends
among the older people of the town and
community; but on account Of broken
health, which kept her in doors, was moi
so well known to the younger generation
She was 4 member of the Methodist
Episcopal church, and in conducting the
funeral service last Monday morning al
II o'clock, Pastor Brunson saw fit to de-
part from his usual custom and pronounce
a eulogy of the dead. He said that hel
life had been an ideal Christian-a minis
tration of sweet resignation, of unselfish
suffering-one of the most perfect exam
pies he had ever known. Pastor Brun-
sons remarks were based upon his own
observations. His observations were cor
rect, so far as any mortal is capable OF
Judging. There are those who knew Miss
Wise better than he; but their testimony
would neither add to nor take away from
what he said.

BULLS GORE The BEARS.
New York and Liverpool Waking Up to the
Short Crop Situation.

New York and Liverpool Waking Up to the
Short Crop Situation.
Mondays developments on the New
York Cotton Exchange were of sen
sational nature, says an Associate
Press dispatch of Monday night.
As long as two weeks ago bull ira
ders asserted that the market was un'
justi6ably low considering the charac
ter of the crop reports and the excel
lent trade conditions in the cotton
cloth markets of the world. They al
once began to back up their convic
tictions by purchasing in all the weak
er intervals and at times adopting even
more vigorous policy. At the open
ing of last week the opposition of the
Liverpool market and the European
cotton trade in general was added to
that of the local bear interest and q
battle royal began. But day after day
the bulls forces scored signal gains,
until at the close of Saturday a gener-
al rise of 40 points had been recorded
Believing the market to be entitled to
substantial reaction, shorts looked
for change of fortune today. But
events proved that even worse set
backs than previously experienced
were to be met with, and the bulls ad-
ministered a drubbing long to be re-
membered. On the first call prices
shot up IL to II points and further i'm
proved during the first hour on tremen'
dous buying from all quarters, though
notably from the short side. March
was carried to 6.74, a rise of So points
since the upward movement was be-
gun. The bear forces were in utter
rout and the greatest excitement pre-.
vailed. Though there were relapses
later under wild spurts of proft-taking
the market showed inherent strength
and wonderful recuperative ability.
Sensational rumors were circulated
to the effect that the Liverpool market
had broken away from the bear clique
which had dominated it for months,
Public advices seemed to bear out these
stories, as did an influx Of large buying
orders from Manchester and other spin
ming centres of Europe. Reduced crop
estimates, gloomy crop testimony, &C
tive and higher spot markets in the
south and talk of smaller receipts from
now on in the interior belt where in'
fuences bearing on sentiment in the
local market today. Speculation as a
whole exceeded any single days busi.
ness for many months.

Third Mistrial For Mrs. Hughes.
Greenville News, Sunday: The third
mistrial in the Hughes murder case
was ordered by Judge Gary yesterday
morning between 7 and s o'clock, al
ter the jury had been trying to arrive
at decision since 20 minutes past 6
on the proceeding afternoon. The
fourth trial will be held next January.
In the meantime, Mrs. Hughes will
run her restaurant and confectionery
store in North Main street to make
money to pay her attorneys with. 1t
is now felt more than ever that no jury
will ever be obtained in this county to
convict Mrs. Hughes, and it is gener-
ally believed that she stands better
chance next time for an acquittal,
though many fear that the county
will have to bear the expense of sew
eral more mistrials. The jury agreed
among themselves not to tell how each
voted in trying to get at a verdict but
several of them talked about the vote
without giving names. According to
the statement of three jurors, the vote
up to early in the morning, shortly be-
fore the mislrial was ordered, stood 7
for not guilty, 4 for guilty of murder
aud 1 for guilty of manslaughter
Early in the morning the juror voting
for manslaughter went over 10 the
seven, and the vote was for not gull
ty and 4 for guilty. But perhaps the
most reliable version of how the jury
stood is that given directly by Juror
Calvin Boiling, of 205 Broad street.
When seen in his room yesterday by
a representative of The News, Mr.. Boil
ing talked freely about the voting in
the jury room but said it had been
agreed among jurors not to divulge
names. He says he recognized haitian
hour after being in the room that there
would be a mistrial. The first ballot,
be said, resulted seven for acquittal,
four for conviction and one for man.
slaughter. This vote was unchanged
until after midnight, when one ofthose
voting for guilty said he believed he
would 60 with the majority, and voted
for acquittal. So the final ballot
stood eight for acquittal, three for
guilty and one for manslaughter. Mr..
Boiling understands that those who
voted for conviction wanted to attach
n recommendation clause TO the ver-
dict. Mr.. Boling's account of how the
ballots stood is accepted as the correct
one by the attorneys on both sides.
On discharging the jury Judge Gary ex
pressed the opinion that the case in.
volved too serious a charge to be mol
pressed. When the mistrial was or
dered, Mrs. Hughes was not in court.
She was just entering the door down
stairs. Colonel Jobnstone, he attor.
ney, waived her right to be present.
1t was suggested to Sheriff Gilreath
on Friday night when he was casting
about in his mind for place to get
supper from for the jury, that he apply
to Mrs. Hughes that she would prob
ably be delighted to serve them. He
rejected the suggestion with emphatic
gestures and words. The jury did
not get any supper.
