KILLED WIPES PARENTS
BLOODY SEQUEL OF A SUIT FOR
 DIVORCE.
Archie Woodin Shot MT. and Mrs. Gulick, Then Rode Six Miles and Murdered His
 Own Child.

Mount Pleasant, Mich, Oct. 16.-As the bloody sequel of a divorce suit, Archie Woodin. g years old, is under arrest here charged with a triple murder and this community was shocked today by a bloody tragedy in which Mrs. Woodin' s parents and the prisoners 1S-months-old daughter was shot and killed.
 Woodin was overpowered just as he had turned the revolver upon himself and inflicted a wound which will not prove fatal. He visited the court this morning and looked over the papers in a suit for divorce which his wife instituted October 10. From there he went directly to a hardware store, where he purchased a revolver There was no interruption in his career of crime from the moment his hands dropped the legal papers in the court house until his victims lay dead in two farm houses six miles apart.
 Having secured the weapon he first rode his wheel to the farm of his father-in- law, Joseph Guilick, who was the first victim. MT. Guilick was shot twice and instantly killed Woodin then turned upon his mother-in-law. who was sitting in a rocking chair. and shot her in the throat. She ran into the kitchen. Woodin fol- lowed and emptied three chambers of hls revolver into her breast killing her in- 
 Gulick came in at .he sound of the first shots and seeing the blood on her moth- CTS neck ran to her neighbors and gave the alarm. While running down the road she heard the last three shots.
 The murderer then dashed madly to his mothers home. six miles away. He rode his wheel for one mile. then tearing off his coat and throwing 1t with his wheel into a fence corner, ran mile and half through the fields. He made the last four miles on a borrowed horse Passing the time of day With a group of apple pickers on his mothers farm he entered the house as though nothing unusual had happened and picking up his littls girl carried her into sn empty room. In a moment a shet rang out and the little one was dead.
 Woodin was a soldier in the Cuban war. He was laboring under the impression that his wIfes parents had caused the divorce proceedings, though his wife's bill of complaint charged personal vio- lancA

FOUR MEN ARE CRUSHED
BODIES TORN TO PIECES IN AN
 EXPLOSION.
They Were Attempting to Blast in a Railroad in Talladega County. No One to Tell the
 Tale.

Talladega, Oct 16.-(Special. .)-News has reached here that four man were killed three white and one colored in an explo- sion at J. F. Graham & Co.'S camp on the Eastern Railroad of Alabama. twelve miles from Talladega last night. They were John A. Berger. foreman: Joe Mar tin and William Wilson, white assist ants. and Sam Donald. a negro.
 They were the only ones in the camp and no one was left to tell the tale.
 The terrible accident occurred about Il o'clock. It Is believed Mir. Berger was arranging to make a blast. The other two white men and the negro were help ing him. His idea was to have loose dirt for the men to handle today.
 Just what caused the explosion will never be known. The bodies of the four men were literally torn to pieces. frag- ments of flesh and bones were scattered many feet away from the scene.
 Mir. Berger was from Tennessee. Mir. Martin lived at Hain's Valley. in this county and the home of MT. Wilson was in Goodwater.

SOUFRIERE
 SPITS FIRE Volcano Again in Terrific / Eruption. IS A BOILING CALDR0N Both of the CraterS Were Ap-
 parently Active. Sand of sulphurous odor Ten Heavily Everywhere in Vicinity.
 News From windward
 Awaited with Anxiety.

Kingstown. St. Vincent. Oct 1s.--A tsr- riffic eruption of the soufriere volcano commenced last night
 During the preceding day (Tuesday) earth tremors apparently too slight to be considered important were experienced in the central and northern parts of the island.
 There were last night indubitous indica- tions of an eruption. Noises were heard, they increased until p. m. when tho roaring volcanic giant belched out its deadly contents. This eruption was fol. lowed by a brief Hull. Then. from D o'clock until { o'clock the upheaval con tinued. The outbreak was accompanie& by an incessant and confused cannonad- ing. There were incandescent clouds and sparkling matter was elected.
 After { o'clock the disturbance grad ually decreased. but the noise of the boil- ing caldron is still audible in the dis tricts near the volcano.
 Both craters of the Soufriere were ap- parently active; they have been steaming all day long. Sand fell heavily every- where from 1:30 until 2:30 this. morning. At southern points the sand is half aA inch deep. the depth gradually increased toward the volcanic -cone, where there was showers of large stones. pebbles and cinders.
 Kingstown and other points of the is- land have not been damaged. Reports from the windward district are awaited. The sand during this eruption has q stronger sulphurous odor than any pre- yiously thrown out and one superficial square foot of it weighs exactly one mound.

TALKS OF NEGROES.
Captain Capers Says Trouble Comes from Northern Colored Brethren.

Captain Capers Says Trouble Comes
 from Northern Colored Brethren.
 Charleston. s. C.. Oct 1e.-In view of Alabama and North Carolina on the ne- gro question and the holding of Republi- can conventions this week in the Con- gressfonal Districts in this State. Captain John c. Capers, United States District Attorney and Republican National Con- mitteeman from South Carolina was ask ed today what was the position of the Republican party in this State on the ne- gro question. He said:
 ''The organization and operation of pos litical parties upon purely racial ciassih- cation is, to my mind, wholly inconsistent with the spirit of our government; re- quiring, as our government does, well de fined duties and responsibilities from all of its citizens. In the exercise of citi. zenship when the negro asserts a right and demonstrates that 1t rests upon in. telligence and character rather than upon race prejudice or fancied and unearned distinction, his rights should be respected as an American citizen regardless of his color.
 'In politics, the negroes trouble in the South comes in a large measure from the advice he receives from his North ern colored brother, who ruins the effect of a protest against e white mans party in the South by a practical demand for . black mans party. There Is no good reason why the Republican party in the South should be all white and there is every reason why it should not be all black"
