Newspaper Borrowing,

Here is the latest story Of the man
who is too stingy to take his home
paper: "a man who was too economi-
cal to take this paper sent his little
boy to borrow the copy taken by his
neighbor. In his haste the boy ran over
a 81 stand of bees, and in ten minutes
looked like warty summer squash. His
cries reached his father, who ran to his
assistance, and failing to notice barb
ed wire fence, ran into that, breaking
it down, cutting a handful of flesh
from his anatomy, and running 81
pair of pants. The old cow took ad-
;antage of the gap n the fence, and
got into the cornGeld, and killed her
self eating green corn. Hearing the
racket, the wife ran out, upset a 4-gal-
lon churn full Of rich cream into a
basket of kittens, drowning the whole
fock. In the hurry, she dropped 81
set of false teeth. The baby, left alone,
crawled through the spilled milk and
into the parlor, running brand new
$40 carpet. Duling the excitement the
oldest daughter ran away with the
hired man; the dog broke up eleven
setting hens, and the calves got out
and chcwed the tails off four foe
shirts. kansas City Journal.

ONEKILLED. ONE WOUNDED.
a Paniteniary Guards Desperate Rn.
counter With Convicts.

Tuesday morning Eve con7icts, all
negroes, made desperate effo.s to
oyerpower and kill the one gcsrd who
was with them-Mr. Abe Harling-and
escape. The guard after q struggle
with his assailants killed one Of them;
wounded another and prevented all but
one from escaping. The story of the
affair is thus told by one familiar With
the facts:
Early yesterday morning Guard
Harling, with FIVE convicts, was sent to
some land near the city rented by the
penitentiary from Mr.. j. NJ. Roach.
The convicts carried rakes for the pur-
pose Of cleaning of grass and other
things from the laud. They worked
along very well and nothing unusual
occurred for some time. The guard
was standing close with the eenvicts,
when one Of them made a quick move
from the rear and throwing his arms
about the guards body pinioned his
arms to his side. Another convict
named Houghton took away the guards
gun and all CT them had rakes upraised
ready to disable or kill the guard and
escape. Houghton tried to work the
gun, but failed, not knowing how to
handle it. It was his intention to
shoot the guard, who was in the mean
time struggling with the convict who
first caught him.
The other negroes took hand in the
game too, and some of them struck the
guard with the rake, but though out
numbered and being considerably used
up he made great fight. In the
struggle he succeeded in drawing his
pistol and he shot Houghton dead.
The other convicts began to scatter
and run when the guard, again 'secur-
ing his gun from the dead negro,
opened fire on the fleeing convicts.
One, Dave Barton, he winged under
the arm and he gave up. Two others
fearing they might receive bullet,
halted and surrendered. Another,
swifter than The rest, ran on, and
though several shots were fred at him
be succeeded in escaping. Guard Har-
ing rounded up his captured con7icts
and took them back to the peniten-
tiary. The body Of the dead convict
was also taken there.
Roughton has always been bad NO.
gro. He escaped from the gang in
Edgefeld some time sgo and was re-
captured in Aiken. This gang has been
doing this work on that particular
piece Of laad and it is supposed that
they made their plot to escape the
night before. Guard Harling wss not
badly hurt by his experience. No set
of con7icts will hardly ever make
another plot against him under
similar circumstances. The coroner
held an inquest over the body Of the
dead negro Tuesday afternoon and
exonerated the guard from ali blame in
the matter.-The State.

Served Them Riskt.

Here is another illustration, re-
marked one OF the officials of the oper-
ating department of the Seaboard Air
Line recently of the fact that persons
who persist in throwing stones and
other missiles at moving trains must
sooner or later come to grieS. The
case in question is one that occurred
last December. The conductor on one
of our vestibuled trains reported q
widow light broken out by a stone
thrown into the train. Its likely that
few railroads in the country are as per-
sistent as the Seaboard Air Line in fol-
lowing up such miscreants, and this
case which started with barely no evi-
dence at all, has just wound up in
court proceedings before Jua ge Bu-
chanan at I'aurens, S. c., with the re-
suit that three negroes, Joseph Ball,
Thornton Boyd and j. Leak, res spective-
ly, were proved guilty Of this charge,
and sentenced to two ysars in the South
Carolina penitentiary.

AN INFURIATED DEVIL.
Norwegian Murders His Wife, Little
Girl and Stabs q Woman.

Ga last Wednesday at Washington,
D. c., in a paroxysm Of inexplicable
rage or possible insanity Olof Pale
SOB, Norwegian, stabbed and killed his
wife Josephine, murdered little Julia
Hengesbach, the 3-year old daughter
Of Charles +. Hengesbach, mail car
rier, aud murderously assaulted the
child's mother, Mary Hengesbach,
Wednesday afternoon in front of his
home, 1l2l Twenty. fourth street, north
west.
Mrs. Hepgesbach now lies near the
verge of death at the Columbia hos
pitai with seven stab wounds in her
body, inflicted by the infuriated Nor
wegian. Palleson narrowly escaped be-
ing stoned to death at the hands of a
crowd of citizens which congregated
about the scene of the killing, aud only
the prompt arrival Of the police pre-.
vented him from being roughly handled
by the people.
The motive !tor the crime is not deG-
nitely known. The only key to the sit
ua,ion is furnished by the mans year
old son, who told policeman that his
father had been sick and that his
mother tried to get him to take some
medicine and that he got mad.
palleson struck his wife with his fist
while they were in the parlor. She i'm,
medlately ran out and Palleson fol
lowed her into the front yard, where
he stabbed her near the heart, killing
Eer almost instantly.
Mrs. Hengesbach was in the house
with her child to have some dress
making work doue when the trouble oc-
Cured. and as soon as she saw What
had taken place she called for help
This angered the man aud he made a
luuge at her, but, missing her, stabbed
the child, who died some time after
wards. Mrs. Hengesbach sratched up
her child in her arms and started to
run. She had almost reached the cor
ner when Palleson overlook her AID
stabbed the hel pless woman frlghlfully
on the arms, face and breast. Palleson
is 35 years old, and painter by trade.

Will Be COMPLETED.

The State capitol is to be completed
in accordance with the terms OF the act
of the general assembly. The conmis.
sion, of which the members OF the sink
ing fund commission are members, met
Thursday aud it was not many minutes
before it was almost unanimously de-
cided to proceed under the act, the
only vote against it being that Of Sena-
tor Mower, who holds that the sinking
fnnd commission occupies the same
position as a trustee. The presentation
Of little Law in concise form by Attor.
ney General Bellinger convinced the
members that the sinking fund COM
mission was not trustee, but is the
ministerial agent of the real trustee,
the general assembly, and as such had
no right to question the acts validity,
but could only do what the trustee or
ders it to DO. Thus the stumbling
block was rolled from the path, and
the joint commission got down to the
business in hand, taking the first step
towards the commencement Of the
Tork.-The State.
