Mrs. Henry Willis, of Marysville.
Mo-. demonstrated the other day that
she waR an expert marksman with
pistol. She hit Lawrence Growney
five times out of possible six, while
the young man was running away from

a young man named Doran day be.
fore.
Mrs. Willis is the second wife of
Mr.. Willis, and he has a daughter by
his former wife who has been keep
ing company with Doran against her
fathers wishes. Doran and Willis
had met and were quarreling about the
girl, when DOran cast some asper-
sions on the character of Mrs Will
lis. Doran. it is said, gave Grow
ney as his authority for the statements
he made. This so enraged Mrs. Will
lis when her husband told her of it
that she armed herself, and the next
day. meeting Growney on the streets
of Clyde, drew her revolver and fired.
This shot struck him in the hand.
Growney turned and ran for Merri-
gan's store. Mrs. Willis was close
behind and opened fire upon him. Be-
fore he had got half way through the
store, Mrs. Willis had fired five shots
and all except the last hit the mark.
Robert Merrigan caught her arm just
as she pulled the trigger the last time
and the bullet went into the ceiling.
Mrs. Willis is a pleasant little wo-
man and no one would think by her
looks she would have the courage to
handle a revolver. She refuses to
talk about the affair, and when ques-
toned gives you pleasant smile and
replies: II have nothing to say"

peil at Express Speed.
News from the general offices In
St. Paul confirms the report that the
Great Northern has contracted to
transport train load of oranges from
San Francisco to Chicago in ten days
The fruit will be sent from the sea
port to Seattle in three days, and will
at that point be loaded into refrigera
tor cars and started across the cont
nent at express speed. st. Paul will
be reached in little over four days, anl
the final destination will be easil,
made inside of the stipulated limit ot
ten days. Just at present the facili.
ties of the Southern Pacific and Santa
Fe system are seriously crippled and
shippers count themselves lucky II
their fruit reaches Chicago in two
weeks. This is over a direct route
too. SO the undertaking of the Great
Northern to reduce the time nearly
i've days, over a longer and indirect
route. is more difficult one than
might at first be thought.
The orange crop in California Is,
this year, one of the largest on rec
ord. It is many years since the
growers have seen their labors re.
warded so bounteously. and they are
on that account anxious to reap the
full benefit. Last year early frosts a!
most completely ruined the crops, and
the season was disastrous from a fin.
ancial standpoint. At present, could
all the oranges available be market.
ed in good condition, the growers
would realize enough to repay them
for many bad seasons. This, however
they will not do, as reports from Los
Angeles, San Barnadino, Pasadena
and Pomona indicate that thousnds
of bushels Of oranges are rotting for
lack Of adequate facilities to move
them. These districts are the older
fruit-raising points, and the yield in
them has been simply phenomena
Higher up. in the central portions of
the state, extraordinary yields are re-
ported from Potterville, in Tulare
county; Centerville, in Fresno coun-
ty, and in fact from almost all the
fruit growing points in the San Joa-
chin valley.
The Great Northern is likely to do
considerable toward relieving the con.
gestion. and additional contracts to
transport train loads are expected.
The shipment which this road is now
taking charge of consists of sixteen
car loads. each of which is $4,000
pounds.

MORE CARS ORDERED.
AbercOrn and Barnard Belt VIII BE
in Operation shortly.

General Manager McIntire of the Savan-
nah, Thunderbolt and Isle of Hope Rail-
way Company, said yesterday that unless
something unforseen happens, the Aber-
corn and Barnard belt line will be in OPP
Grafton within the next two weeks. The
work at Whitaker and Fortieth streets is
now going on, and the curves and other
improvements will be completed in about
ten days. Cars will be operated both ways
on Barnard and Abercorn streets, and the
independent circuit win be known as the
A. and B. belt.
The new cars that have been ordered
for the summer service will probably ar
rive by the middle of next month, and,
if the weather permits will be placed in
service at once. An order was first given
for six cars, but this was later increased
to nine The additional cars will add
greatly to the service, and the wait be-
tween cars will not be as long as it is
with the rolling stock somewhat short,
as at present. The new cars will seat
seventy-five persons. -1.
Cars were run to the Casino, at Thun-
derbot, for the first time yesterday Many
people visited the railway company's re-
sort early in the afternoon, but
the heavy rain kept large
numbers from making their trip
later in the day. This work of i'm
provement is progressing nicely, and the
Casino will be open to the public before
the summer season really begins. A name
has not yet been selected for the new re-
sort, and the company may offer a cash
prize for a title for the building and park.
This was done when Lincoln Park the
colored resort west of the city, was
opened.
The Bridge car managed to remain on
the track yesterday, and ran schedule
time. A man was stationed on the line
south of Thirty-first street, and with the
aid of a shovel kept the sand off the

COLDER WEATHER TO-DAY.
First Dust and Then Rain Made
Yesterday DfsagreabIe.

First a dust storm, with a wind blow
ing thirty miles an hour, sending showers
of sand in every direction, then a rain
ing which nearly half an inch of rain was
precipitated, made yesterday SO disagree
able that but few people cared to brave
its inclemencies.
For the first time in several days the
temperature was above the normal. The
maximum was 20 degrees, reached at 2
o'clock, and the minimum. 81 degrees,
reached at in the morning. The mean
was &C, while the normal is but 81. How
ever, there is still an accumulated de-
ficiency of temperature, amounting, since
March l. to 16 degrees, and since the first
of the year to 1874 degrees. The rainfall
yesterday, up to s o'clock was .S5 of an
inch. For the month there is a deficiency
of rainfall, amounting to 80 of an inch,
but for the year there is still an excess
of IS.
At 2 o'clock in the Afternoon the Weather
Bureau was notified to hoist southeast
storm signals, as there was a storm CEN
tered over Illinois and moving north Of
east, and that the winds would increase
to gale force during the next twenty
four hours. The same warning was sent
to Jacksonville, Charleston, Wilmington
Morehead, Washington, Norfolk, Newport
News, Fortress Monroe, West Point, and
Baltimore. The signals were displayed
also last night.
The forecast for to-day is for fair
weather, decidedly colder in the northern
and central portions; colder in the south
ern portion, brisk southwesterly winds be-
coming northwesterly. Tomorrow, it is
predicted, will be fair.

TO WAIT ON CARNEGIE.
What His Proposition to Savannah
Is Likely TO BE.

Mayor Myers letter to Andrew Car
negie, containing the resolution of the
City Council and the action of the man
reference to Mr.. Carnegie's understood
proposition to endow public library for
Savannah, will probably reach the mil
lionaire philanthropist to-day. AS he
leaves New York for Europe Wednesday,
it is not likely that he will consider the
matter before his return, which will be at
least six months hence.
1t may be stated, however, as almost
a certainty, that any proposition he may
make will be the same as those he has
made other cities where he has endowed
libraries. and that is, the endowment will
be contingent upon the city expanding an
nually at least 10 per cent. of whatever
amount he may donate, in the maintenance
of the library. If Mr.. Carnegie should
endow a public library in Savannah with
1915, 600, the city would In all probability
have to expend every year $500 in main
tanning it.
Whatever Mr.. Carnegie may do, 1t is
not at all likely that it will be done before
a definite understanding has been reached
with the city. The action of the Histori-
cal Society managers practically settles
the question of any aid from Mr.. Carnegie
for the society's library. Whatever may
be the outcome, Miss Hayward has done
her part, and it will be through her efforts
that Mr.. Carnegie's proposition is made.
Had 1t not been for influential friends in
New York it would not have been possible
for her to have reached him at ALL

Driver Glass Pet Lucy Caught Rob-
bling Hens Nest,

Lucy, the pet monkey at the central
fire station, is an egg thief and from
now on will be kept in the cage with
her brothers and sisters. The menagerie
at this engine house is owned by Driver
Robert Glass, and Lucy is that laddies
particular pet. He trained the human
faced animal to dance, act on a swinging
bar and do other amusing stunts, and
now he has discovered that she is thief
Fireman Glass has been in the habit of
letting the monkey out of her cage and
The monkey was never connected with
the stealing of the hen fruit, the disap-
pearance of which was charged to a
tramp dog that had been noticed in the
neighborhood. Lucy, however, was
caught red-handed on Saturday, and yes
terday she was not permitted to take her
accustomed trip through the back yards
of the neighbors. A gentleman who had
lost several eggs from under a bantam
hen notified the fremen that he would
shoot the monkey if she showed up in his
hennery again.
A china nest egg was responsible for
Lucys conviction on a charge of robbery.
The monkey took a glass egg out of one
hen house. and running around the cor
ner substituted 1t for a fresh one. She
was caught in the act of placing the nest
egg where moment before a hen laid the
genuine article. Lucy was positively iden-
titled by the servant who caught her, and
the monkey seems to feel her disgrace.
