Short of Funds.

State Treasurer Jennings will have
to borrow s309,000 for current state
expenses this fall, the full amount al
lowed by law and still the appropria-
tions go on. The levy has, been raised
from year to year and still the ex-
penSeS of the state increase. The to-
tai amount Of the deficit is expected to
be about Sl30,000 with no prospects
of matters getting any better under
the present method Of large unneceSs-
ary appropriations and high salaries
for public officials. 1t is up to the
next legislature to attempt a remedy
for some Of these evils but we can
only judge the future by the past-in-
creased appropriations.

a WARM TIME
Toughs from Augusta Started a Row
on q Train.

The Augusta Herald says news
reached that city on Wednesday Of a
riot on the excursion train run Monday
from Augusta to Savannah, via the G..
& ". C. and Coast Line by William
Kelley. The excursion was of the
dark variety with two coaches reserved
for white people, and it was in these,
when the train was about ten miles
from Savannah, that the row occur
red. Two negroes engaged in a tight
and rushed into the white coach. One
negro called Dynamite" and having
a bad reputation, broke bottle over
his antagonists head. Then the panic
began. Men rushed to QuieJ the
fighters, some with drawn pistols,
while the negroes resisted, with much
cursing and swearing. This of course
set the ladies screaming. The bellig-
erents were quickly hurled out OF
doors and thrown off the train, where
they were left behind to have it out
as they felt disposed. AS the train
was pulling away Dynamite" az
tempted to again board it, when some
one in the crowd fired a single shot
from the rear, saying, kill the ras,
cal. he's going to board the train
again" The negro was seen to fall
Immediately after the fire and turn
over, but it was the general belief that
he was untouched and fell to keep
from being fired at again. The negro
passengers, when they heard that
their friend had been shot, became
very much infuriated and wanted to
avenge him by putting an end to the
party who did the shooting, but he was
quickly hid and several white men
acted as peacemakers at the earnest
request of the ladies to please have Or
der and avoid a riot which seemingly
was pending. Everything was quiet
after that and the train pulled in as
peacefully as if nothing had occurred.

WRECKED 4 HOTEL.
Frank McKie, Blows Up the Golden
Eagle With Dynamite,
THEN He COMMITS SUICIDE.
Guests Blown from Their Beds. a
Young Woman in the
Case, But Vet 1t is
Mystery.

The Golden Eagle hotel, on the
corner of New Jersey avenue and D
street Washington, D. c., was dy-
namited Tuesday morning at 4.3O
o'clock by Frank McKie, one OF the
guests, who subsequently committed
suicide. Between 20 and 80 guests
were thrown from their beds by the
explosion, but only the proprietor.
Louis Brandt. and bis wife were in
iured. The roof of the building was
blown off and the falling wreckage
crashed through to the basement,
leaving the structure as if wrecked by
tornado. Every pane OF glass in the
building and the adjoining structure
was broken. The explosion called ont
the fire department. The affair is
involved in some mystery. The pro-
prietor gave banquet Wednesday
night in honor of his wife. who had
just returned from Germany, and Nc
kie was guest.
McKie had boarded at the hotel
four years and had been treated as a
member of the Brandt family, which
includes a daughter, Sophie, with
whom McKie, is said to have been in
love. Brandtd enieS that there was
any understanding between the two.
McKie remarked Wednesday night
that be was going to wait until
Sophie returned from Germany with
her mother, and then he was going to
his old home in Philadelphia. Mrs.
Brandt and her daughter returned s
o'clock Wednesday night. The at
tempt at wholesale murder followed
Thursday morning. Mckie with
a pistol in his hand was seen by
an enploye of a lunch room op-
posite the hotel just before the
shots were fired. When the explosion
occurred a slight blaze sprang from the
debris, but it was quickly extinguish-
ed by the fremen. Brandt and his
wife were quickly rescued before
many Of the 80 guests of the establish
ment had reached the part OF the
building in which AIckie's room was
located. McKie, with a revolver in
in his hand, was found lying on the
floor, with his head in pool of blood.
A bullet hole near the right ear had
caused instant death. Brandt was
bruised about the body and shaken up
badly and received severe cut on the
leg. Mrs. Brandt sustained bruises
about the body and a cut hand. When
the wrecked building was searched
Thursday enough dynamite was found
in McKie's trunk to wreck a block OF
buildings. There were six whole
sticks and parts Of two or three broken
sticks, together with box Of caps
and a quantity of wire for long dis
tance explosion. He had had at least
nine sticks Of dynamite in his posses
sion.
McKie was about % years old. He
was formerly Of Philadelphia and had
relatives in Chicago. His brother,
Harry McKie, was killed in Chicago
last year, according to a telegram in
the dead mans room.
McKie was machiniSt in the navy
yard here, but resigned on inheriting
upwards of $4,000 about four years
ago. This amount he said to have
lost on the races and his act is ac-
credited by some to this loss. Detec-
tives are Investigating the case.

The Nevada Republican platform
declares for the election Of United
States Senators by direct vote of the
people, favors the largest use OF silver
as money metal in all matters CON-
patable with the best interests OF our
government, and pledges the nominee
to Congress to exercise his best endea-
vors to secure the greatest possible use
of silver. Organism must be making
some headway among the Republicans
of the West, and there are occasional
signs of disloyalty to the standards OF
the East.

The Florence Times says Ed Bryant,
a Savannah negro who was hoboing
home was struck Wednesday night as
he was entering Florence, by a piece
of wood that fell OFF 55, the evening
train from Wilmington. 1t seems
that he had gotten on a train at
Richmond and found it convenient to
get off at Marion and was walking
from there here when as 50 passed
him piece of wood fell of and struck
him on the left arm, fracturing the
arm very badly above the elbow.

Blnst-Furnace Gas-hotors.

In western Europe, and particular
ly in Germany, the employment Of
motors utilizing gases from blast fur
naces is increasing. 1t is said that
the use of these gases, which is not
so common in England or the United
States, effects a considerable saving
in the cost of founding. The motors
thus driven are employed principally
for actuating air compressors and
electric generators.-Science

DEFINING "THE EVER WOMANLY..,
Many writer's, says the New York

hair, but this has not been accepted
as the last word. Maeterlinck is rather
nicer, when he speaks of her as "the
only mystic" Meredith says that by
virtue of her abundant hair she is more
of vegetable than man. Isobel Os-
bourne Strong, the step-daughter of
Robert Louis Stevenson, voiced one no.
ton of womanhood at a tea given Sfn
her honor by Prof. Eugene Lamb Rich
ards of Yale. She had spoken of Mrs.
Stevenson as about the perfect wo-
man. Some one asked if she could
write. Mo- was the reply. A fire of
questions developed the admissions
that Mrs. Stevenson was not peculiarly
gifted in any artistic direction, and that
she had no great interest in charities or
women's clubs. Just what is your
mothers speciality" finally asked a
young tutors wife. "Oh," replied Mrs
