TERRIBLE CRIME IN eR9rNvlLLr COUNTY.
Edward Hollis, Crazed with Drink, Kills Ills
Vile, Sisierin-Law and Himself

Greenville, December IA --One of the
most revolving aud heart-rendinr TRACE
dies ever known in this section of the
country was enacted yesterday afternoon
near Lima, ri miles northwest of the
city. The shocking story reached here
by phone several hours after the ocour.
renee, aud the horrible deed of a drunken,
crazy man created intense excitement i'm
the community whore it occurred.
1t appears that Edward Hollis, q white
man, who is a commercial traveller, had
been on spree for several days after
arriving at the home of his father-in-law,
Mr.. a. B. Poole, who lives on the Tram
NELL place, in few miles of Lima. Hol-
lis had come to spend the holidays, and
not long after his coming quarrel arose
between himself and wife, and this is
supposed to be the Foundation of the
trouble which has ended in the death of
his wife and her sister, Miss jamie
FOOL, at the hands of Hollis, who ended
his own life as the sequel of the awful
tragedy.
Between A and 8 O'Clock yesterday
afternoon several members of the family
were in the sitting room, when Hollis
entered with pistol in hand and COM
inenced firing upon them. He aimed the
first shot at Miss Poole, who sank to the
iioor In the embrace of death, with a
bullet through her head. His wife was
the next victim of his wrath, and his
aim at her was also deadly, as she fell to
the floor with life extinct. Their baby
was in her arms when the deed was
done, and the little fellow was shot
through it's finger by the bullet which
ended its mothers life. Then Hollis
sought to kill his mother-in-l law, but she
was fortunate to escape the shot, and
then with deliberate intent, he sent a
bullet into his own heart, which laid him
PROSTATE on the floor by the side of his
victims. The three corpses were quite
near together, and this was the gruesome
sight which met the head of the house
hold, Mr.. Poolo, as he returned with his
son, near dark, from hunting on the
farm.
Mrs. Poole was prostrated by the aw-
full occurrence, and her life was in
jeopardy from the shock received, but
undcr the care of physicians she rallied
from the prostration, and this morning
is reported fairly we'll under the distress
ing circumstances in her homo.
The Poole family went to Piedmont
four or five years ago, and it was while
there that Hollis wooed and won the
eldest daughter of the family They
were married about two years ago, and
subsequently the Pooles returned to
their farm, the married daughter going
with them, as her husband was absent
the most of the time. Hollis has been
travelling for the Arnold Hat Company,
of Atlanta, Ga, but he does not seem to
be known in this city, although his wife
has relatives here

Verdict Of the schley Court Of Inquiry.

Washington, December 13.-The yer-
dict of the Schley court of INQUIRY. as
submitted by Secretary Long. was made
public tonight.
There are two reports, the majority re-
port being against Schley on nearly all
counts. The minority report, submitted
by, Admiral Dewey, sustains Admiral
Schley in every particular.
The counts on which Schleyis centured
are considered technical and the opinion
still prevails here that he is still the real
hero of the battle.
The substance of che majority report
That Schley delayed in proceeding to
Cienfugos; that he did not maintain q
close blockade; did not communicate
with the Cubans on shore; DELAYED in
proceeding to Santiago from Cienfuegos
when is was possible to intercept the
enemy; that he should not have delayed
on account of the Eagle; should not have
made the retrograde movement to the
westward; that he delayed in obeyipg
the departments orders of May 25; did
not attempt to destroy the Spanish re-
serve near the, entrance to Santiago MAY
29-3O; did not do his utmost to DESTROY
the Spanish ships May 81; in making the
"loop" at Santiago he lost distance and
position and had to stop and back his
engines in order to avoid a collision; that
he did injustice to Hodgson in causing
only portion of their correspondence
to be published. Schiey's conduct in
connection with the campaign prior to
June 81 ives characterized, the report
says, with vacilation, dilatoriness and
lack of enterprise, and his report con
cerning the coal supply inaccurate and
misleading The report concludes by
saying, however, that his conduct in the
main at the battle of Santiago was self
possessed and that he urged the men to
tight courageously.
WHAT DEWEY SAYS.
Admiral Dewey in tho minority report
says there was no delay in the passage
from Key West to Cienfuegos; that the
blockade at Cionfuegos was in the main
effective; that Schley sent the steamer
Adular into Cienfuegos harbor to locate
the Spanish fleet; that the passage from
Cienfuegos to Santiago was made with
all possible haste in order to keep the
squadron together; that Schley was COM
manding the squadron at the time the
fleet attempted to escape ''and is abso-
lutely entitled to all the credit of the
glorious vistory."
Dewey concludes his report by reoom-
mending that tho whole matter be drop
pod.

Jr, the young census Office clerk, killed
In the Kenmore Hotel last spring, tonight
returned verdict of not guilty, after
being out about four hours. Such cons.
clusion Of the trial was generally ex,
pected, the impression being that from
the evidence submitted tho prosecution
had failed to prove its case against Mrs.
Bonine. Mrs. BOnine maintained the calm
demeanor which has characterized her
conduct throughout the trial, and smiled
approvingly when the Jury returned It's
verdict Her husband threw his arms
affectionately around her neck and kissed
her, followed by her sons and sisters and
brothers, gho clustered around her, en-
bracing and kissing her. Others in the
court room also added their congratula-
tions. After leaving the court house
Mrs. Bonine accompanied her husband to

A Monument to Rev. A. W. McGuffin.

Rev. A. w. McGuffin, of Westminster,
s. c., died on the Sd day of December,
1901, in the 01st year of his age. He had
been minister in the Baptist denOmina-
tion II years, and, therefore, having been
one of the pioneers in the Baptist church
in Oconee county, it seems meet and
proper to many persons that monu-
ment to his memory should be erected
by generous public. Therefore, and to
that end, committee consisting Of j. NJ.
Sanders, NJ A. Terrell and j. w. Strib-
ling has been appointed to take up a sub-
scription for said purpose. All persons
who feel disposed to contribute to same
may do so by depositing tho amount with
either member of the committee or in
the Seneca bank, Westminster bank, or
the Walhalla bank to their credit.

SWindIers Indicted.

The agents of the Amos Owen Cherry
Tree Company have received notices
from the company that on account of
"unfriendly newspaper criticism" the
business would suspend for one month
in order to allow the unfricndly senti-
ment to die out. The United States
Conrt in Charlotte has found indict-
ments against the concern for fraudu-
lent use of the mails and it is said that
the officers have fled.
The Charlotte Observer of to .day saws
that after hearing the evidence of a num-
Der of witnesses, the grand jury of the
District Court yesterday found a true
bill against the Amos Owen Cherry Tree
Company, of Henrietta. The bill of in
'dlctment was drawn by District Attorney
Hoiton and postoffice inspector, and
by its terms the company, or the parties
now forming the company, will be tried
for fraud, and also for improper use of
the United States mails.
The bill presents that II. G.. Padgett,
George Poteet, Allen Biggerstaff, Drewry
ID. Harrell, Will Dellinger and Grandi-
son Ramsey did unlawfully devise
scheme and artifice to defraud Miss Ida
Cline, at Lawndale, N. c., and other per-
sons to the jurors unknown, by Offering
to make these persons. respectively,
agents for profit and reward and to
purchase of a pretended association and
cohSSih blIO Itlllc Ol UI6 Amos
Owen Cherry Tree Company, and by
inducing them to send and pay their
money respectively to tho said NJ. G.
Padgett, George Potcct, Allen Bigger
staff, Drewry Harrell, Will Delinger and
Grandson Ramsey for the purpose of
becoming such agents and purchasers of
certain valuable cherry trees.
A capias for the men named in the bill
of indictment was issaed and given to
Deputy Marshal Vance Scoggins of
RutherfordtOn, who will go to Henrietta
for the purpose of making the arrests.
District Court officials said that the
promoters of the Cherry Tree Company
had men in Charlottee on the lookout,
and had been informed of the action of
the grand jury. 1t is probable, then,
that Mr.. Scoggins will return empty
handed from Henrietta.
But it seems that the career of the
Amos Owen Cherry Tree Company is
ended so far as North Carolina is con-
cerned. .-Spartanburg Journal

go almost the whole length of the field

times as If the city boys were afraid to

AN ILLEGAL OCCUPATION.
German Alleged to Snare birds for
Millinery Use.

The police Of the Anacostia police sta
ton are much disturbed at the escape Of
a man who is said to have been making
a business of snaring the handsome
plumage birds in that vicinity, for sale in
the Paris market. He is said to have
made large amount of money at the
business. in which he has been engaged
for some months. Some of the wings are
said to have brought large prices. as they
were wanted in the decoration of ladies
millinery.
The matter was brought to the atten-
tion of Sergeant Anderson. who detailed
an officer to investigate. The officer
barely missed capturing the man, as he
is said 10 have left for Paris to dispose
of his stock the very day that the police
ascertained who he was ana We're pre-
pared to arrest him as soon as he should
have spread his snares.
The man is said to he a German. who
for some time has resided I'm the south
east part of the city. With him lived
youth of probably fifteen years of age.
Their outfit consisted of most remark
able net made of silk. Although fifteen
