ThornweH Orphanace.

The Thornwell Orphanage, under the
presidency Of its founder, Rev. DIR.
jacobs, is IN institution for the education
and technical training of orphan boys and
girls. 1t is located in Clinton, South
Carolina. Nine handsome stone cottages
house the children. In addition
there are school buildings, general
dining-haIl, Industrial and Technical
schools, library and shops. A farm of
one hundred acres gives the boys oppor-
tunity for learning that business.
These orphans represent fifteen differ
ent States, s,-(every Southern State) and
their parentage was of eleven different
denominations of Christians. They are
received at the tender age of six, and
after being taught to take CAFE of them
selves, go out to lucrative situations.
The cost of support is comparatively
small. Five dollars will board, clothe
and school boy or girl for month.
This could not be done were it not that
the young people are busy set and
practice self-help. The money that
cares for them is that which each be-
nevolent individual gives as moved by
his own beart, or the Father of all.

Shooting Scrape.

Yesterday about noon the town was
thrown into furry Of excitement by
a report that Balaam Lyles had shot
Mr.. James Long, the Deputy Sheriff.
Several grabbed up their pistols or
guns and went hurrying to the scene
Of action and as the place was about
q mile out Of town, through Main
street, the women and children were
greatly excited by such a commotion.
1t seems, from what we can learn,
that Balaam, who has not the best
reputation for honesty, has been ac-
cused Of assisting his neighbors in
gathering their corn crop-at night.
Consequently search warrant was
issued and placed in the hands of
Deputy Sheriff Long to execute, he
took Chief Of Police Culp along with
him to assist in the execution. They
found Balaam at home, on Mr.. VIM.
Munro's place. and after reading the
warrant insisted ON the crib keys
being turned over to enable them to
make search. Balaam demurred at
first but at last agreed to get them
and went into the house for them.
AS soon as he entered the house he
reached over tho door and instead Of
tho keys, got his shot gun and opened
fire on the officers without any warn
ing--when he had emptied his gun he
took leg bail and though both officers
unlimbered and opened fire, they
failed to bring down their game and
the negro is still at large. The report
Of the shooting was soon in circula-
tion in town, with various versions Of
the wounded, and the friends who
heard that one Of the officers had
been shot were very indignant. It is
lucky that Balaam ran 50 we'll for
had one Of his buck-shot hit either of
the officers his hide would not have
been worth much when caught.
But its all we'll that ends we'll, the
corn has been located, nobody hurt
and tho darkey still in tho woods
where he will have the pleasure of OBJ
serving the Meteoric shower from the
blue dome above instead Of from tho
blue steel in the rear.

premises Nos 2O7, 2O9 and 2ll West Forty-second-
IT.. adjoining the Victoria Theatre. George NJ.
Jansen is co-paintir with Mrs. Davidson. Jansen
claimed to have had agreement for forty-six
years lease of the property the agreement having
been made on May l. Hammerstein claims that he
had a prior agreement with the trustees Of the
Davidson estate and that he paid $3.50 to bind the
agreement.
From the testimony before Justice oGorman yes

were oral. Jansen intends to build theatre next
to the Victoria, which project is very distasteful
to Mr. Hammersteln. The latter testified that his
