Gaffney Ledger, August 13: Mr.. Will
Hardin and Miss Charity Biggerstaff,
Of Caroleen, N. c., crossed over into
this state Sunday morning and stopped
at the home Of genial and obliging
Philip Ray, of State Line, and in few
moments that worthy pronounced a
life sentence on them that will either
be for the better or the "worser." We
hope it will be for the better. May
they live long and prosper, will be the
wish of their many young friends.

Bavarians Keep Dogs.

Bavarians are not eXtravagant, but
no family is so poor that it can not
afford to keep dog. Dogs are every
where in Munich, and every tram car
passing has a string of dogs after it
dogs whose owners are passengers. At
the entrance of the large shops groups
OF sedate, patient dogs can be seen
waiting for their masters. In the cafes
the dogs are prominent. Everybody
takes his animal with him-sometimes
two or three-and, after the dogS have
Tapped their beer or saucer of coffee
for the dog fares like his master
there is a great scampering and shut
fling under the chairs and tables, but
no one seems annoyed at the melee.
1t is from the banks that dogs are
rigiGly excluded, and a porter is placed
at tss door II each bank for the pur-
pose o. cheGThg your pet, like an UNI
brella or a parcel The Munich dog,
mostly a dachshund, is intelligent and
good-natured. He romps with the cats
without biting them, carries umbrellas
and canes much larger than himself,
and is never disobedient, except when
he has INDUCED in too much beer.

New York, Oct. 29.-Counsel for Roll
and B. Molineux has served notice Of
a motion to quash the indictment
against Molineux. The motion will
come up before Judge Mcmahon in
part No. l of the court of general SEES
sions next Wednesday. The papers
urge the dismissal of the Molineux in

insufficient evidence. In the event OF
a denial of the motion to quash the

ton for an inspection of the minutes

RIXEY REPORTS M'KINLEY CASE
Gangrene Cause of Death-Gives Every
Detail of Patients Progress,

Detail of Patients Progress.
Washington, D. c., Oct 2S.-''In the
line of duty, while receiving the PEG,
pie, was shot by Leon f Czolgosz" is
the official statement filed with the
surgeon general of the navy by DR..
Presley M. RiXey, medical inspector.
U. S. N, as the Introduction for his
report upon the wounding, illness and
death of the late President Mckinley
The cause Of death is thus stated:
"Gangrene OF both walls of stomach
and pancras, following gunshot
wound" The report itself is remark
able for its exhibition in the closest
possible detail of the exact state of the
patient during his illness. 1t is in the
shape of a ships log almost, showing
at Intervals of a very few minutes.
sometimes single minute, rarely more
than an hour, the patients progress
toward the end. But perhaps the most
valuable data contained from a medical
point of view are the accurate regis
tering of the medication of me case
not single nlorsel of food nor a dose
of medicine or bath is omitted in this
account. Included in the running story
at the proper intervals are the bulletins
which were given to the pubic as the
case progressed

Kills Pursuing Bloodhounds.
Fines for a Gas Comnanx.

Peoria, ILL.,, Oct. 29.-Judge Puter-
baugh found the Peoria Gas Light and
Coke company guilty of three charges
in the quo warranto proceedings insti-
tuted some months ago and fined them
$50 for selling outside the city limits
$3.50 for discrimination in prices of
Illuminating and fuel gas and $3.50 for
charging an eXorbitant price for j.
Eliminating gas. The fourth count,
conspiracy in illegally combining with
another company, was dismissed, as
there was no evidence showing such
combination. This will probably end
the matter, as the gas company has
rearranged its schedule in harmony
with the law.

Will Extradite to Austria.

not be given.

Ferry Hit by Steamer.

New York, Oct. 29.-The ferry boat
College Point was rammed by the
steamship Horatio Hall in the worst
part of He'll Gate. The passengers,
thrown by the shock of the collision.

crowded, would sink, and the panic
increased until it was discovered the
hole was few inches above water line.
The College Point was badly damaged.
The College Points crew shifted ev-
erything movable to the sound side of
the boat, and with resulting list, it
made Its way to College Point, where

QUERIES FOR ". 5. SCHLEY
Gross standardization Of the Admiral
the Next Step.
COURT WILL TAKE A HAND.
Questioning by Attorney Rayner and
the Judge Advocate May Occupy Two
Days--Rayner Will Ask 4 Complete
yindication of Schley.

Washington Oct. 29.-The next step
in the programme of the Schley court
of inquiry is to place the applicant"
under examination by Mr.. Rayner in
order to bring out more strongly the
points which he had made and to
make clear the ones which he left OBJ
scure. In the DISCRIMINATION of
Schley centers the greatest interest.
The judge advocate has prepared
long list of questions which he means
to ask the witness, and the court has
in store many more on which it needs
enlightenment. 1t was noted that
during Schley's recountal of the San
tiago campaign, which he gave dur
ing the two days he was on the stand,
Admiral Benham wrote on slips of pa
per questions which the court will ask
when the cross-examination has been
concluded. 1t is estimated that it will
require fully two days to complete
the cross-examination. Then will fol-
low these questions by the court, and
probably another day will be con-
finished, witnesses will be called in
rebuttal. By these the navy depart
ment will endeavor to show that
