Westminster Saturday by the news of the
death of his grandfather Fenelon Arnold,
of that place. He returned Tuesday to
his duties in the office of st. Louis, Iron

sion on Tuesday, owing to the bad condi-
lions of the sidewalks, caused by the
rain and thaw. The gong failed to re-
spond to the signal from the superin-
tendent's office and so some grades failed
to receive the warning in time.

A Tragedy Caused by Gossip.

Gossip often enstranges friends,
disrupts homes, blackens characters
and fills hearts with poisons never to
be eradicated, but its baleful results
are seldom so shockingly apparent as
in this story which comes from West
moreland county, Virginia.
The statement passed from mouth
to mouth that Herbert Marx, a young
lawyer from Brooklyn, who was stay
ing alone on plantation owned by
his family, had insulted Rose Tay-
lor, pretty girl Of II, daughter of
DR.. T. L. Taylor, a neighbor. w. P.
Taylor, a hot-headed young man, on
hearing the report started out in the
evening to avenge the insult to his
fair relative. He was accompanied
by three companions, all masked and
armed with rifles. Young Marx was
surprised by having two windows
knocked in, through which rifle bar
rels were poked, and he was ordered
to throw up his hands. Marx seized
his revolver and ran into an adjoin-
ing room, unlighted, but as he did
so a third man with rifle in hand
jumped through a window which he
had broken in this room. Marx
knocked up the rifle and fired with
the revolver at close range. and the
stranger fell. When Marx reached
a door leading to the porch the door
came crashing in and there stood
masked man with rife raised. Marx
fired and this man fell of the porch.
Marx supposed he was being attacked
by burglars, and as he started to run
toward an orchard on his way to the
nearest neighbours house he con-
fronted another man with rife in
hand. This person followed Marx,
but the latter brought him down with
single shot When neighbors
arrived w. P. Taylor was found dead
in the yard with bullet through the
heart. The man shot on the porch
had crawled into the house. His
name was Hefflin and he was lying
beside Stiff, the first man shot.
Hefiin, who was the son of a local
sheriff, died after being taken to the
emergency hospital in Washington,
and Stir is not expected to recover.
The fourth young man in the party,
Douglass. fed after his companions
fell. Marx was arrested. but the
corners jury exonerated him COM
pletely, and he was released. The
young girl in the case also cleared
Marks good name by stating that the
story of the insult was without foun-
dalton.
