has been that he must make every effort to bring

Democratic party.
Mr. Hin nearly every day receives visit from

MISS MARIA MITCHELL.
Birthplace of Americas First Woman
Astronomer to Be Preserved
by Vassar AIumnae.

The birthplace of Maria Mitchell, the
first woman astronomer in America,
where all her early years were spent
and her first observations made, in
Nantucket, Mass, is to be preserved
by Vassar alumnae. Vassar, incident
ally, was the first woman's college to
introduce astronomy in its curriculum.
Miss Mitchell went there as professor
of astronomy and director of the OBJ
servatory in 1865, remaining until her
death, % years later. Harvard col
lege at the time had no telescope bet
ter than that used by Miss Mitchell's
father in his Nantucket home. No

her father only that Miss Mitchell be-
came proficient in her life work.
She was the discoverer of a new
comet known to the world of science
as Maria Mitchell's comet. Her father
announced the event to Prof. Bond, of
Cambridge. A few years before Fred
erick VI, king of Denmark, had offered
a gold medal to the first discoverer of
a telescope comet. Shortly after the
kings death Maria Mitchell's comet
was seen in Rome, Germany and Eng
land, but the priority of the American
girls discovery was Immediately adj
mitted throughout Europe and Fred
erick VII. carried out his fathers de-
sign.
Soon after this Miss Mitchell was
elected to membership in the American
Academy of Arts and Sciences, and
also made fellow and honorary mem
Der of associations for the advance
ment of science. Miss Mitchell was
Gonized wherever she went, but moth
ing detracted her from her work. At
that time the chronometers of all
whaleships were taken to the Mitch

The Mitchell house was built in 1890,
and during the last IS years has been
occupied by some member of the
Mitchell family. The lower part of the
building will be used as museum, and

scientific library was left by will to her
brother Prof. Henry Mitchell, but he
will turn this over, as a gift in his sis
ter's name, to the library to be found
ed in the old homestead Many of
these books were gifts, and bear the
names of distinguished persons. The

hands of which the purchase and
charge of the Mitchell homestead are
placed, is composed exclusively of

advancement of the other Latin coun-

on which occasion an attempt was
made to assassinate him. His would

brought to trial. He was torn from

Dear Sir: In future would advise you
meyer, under any circumstances, to en-
deavor to intimidate a man with more
brains than yourself. If you want to
succeed in our profession, be less of a
coward, take equal risks with your ac-
complete, and for a time operate only on
such fools as yourself.
The reaction was too much for
Franllison. The rapid change from
anticipated success to complete fail
ure stunned him. For a time he sat
speechless with surprise, and when
at last he recovered some of his scat
tered senses he took the advice con-
tanned in the first letter, and made
speedy preparations for a departure
to more congenial climate.-London

speeches at each place. Ee then went
to Pensacola. where he, with Messrs.
Myers and Beard. spoke from the same
platform Thursday at the Dewey Day
celebration of the Ancient Order of
Hibernians in that city. Neither of the
candidates touched upon their candi-
dacy but all spoke upon subjects as
signed them.
The latest development of any note
in the campaign is the challenge of
John S. Beard, one of the candidates,
to Messrs Lamar and Myers for a
joint debate. Immediately upon receipt
of said challenge Lamar telegraphed
Beard his acceptance, while Myers has
taken no notice of the matter. 1t was
thought by many of Myers friends that
he would also accept but the friends
of Lamar have never thought so. 1t
is said that Beard has been making
record of the vote of Myers in the state
Senate on many important questions,
and that the purpose of the joint de-
bate was to have Mr.. Myers explain
these votes to the people. AS Lamar
is running on his record" he had
nothing to lose by accepting the chal-
lenge. Myers has not yet replied to
Beard, or the reply has never been made

bates. Beard is dead opposed to Ny
ers, and he will make his fight on him
during the campaign. He is very bit
ter on the senator from Leon, and will
not fail TO tell the dear people" what
Myers has done in the state Senate.
What effect this will have on the can
didacy of the Leon statesman it is hard
to tell.
Beard has made no engagements so
far, but he is expected to take the
stump in a very few days. Myers re-
turned to the capital yesterday, after
three weeks hard work, and win soon
start out for another tour. He is
scheduled to speak in Mariana next
week. Lamar returns to-day from Pen
sacola, where he has been for the past
few days, and will leave again the lat
ter part of the week.

THE SPENCER-SMITH TRAGEDY
Another Account of 1t Furnished by
the Undersigned.

Pinebloom, Ga, May 4.-Saturday's
report of the tragedy on Gray's tram
road was somewhat in error. There
had been no trouble in keeping a man
at the skidder to measure logs against
the sl1idder men for the Gray Lumber
Company And there was no man in
this section any more even tempered
than John Smith. He had friends all
over the county who knew him to be
a quiet sober, upright gentleman, and
any statement to the contrary is a
great injustice. The shooting could
not be called a duel, as no challenge
had been made and no one suspected
such an occurrence. Smith and Spence
had some words about a log, when
Spence shot Smith through the abdo-
men, when Smith fell to his knees.
Spence then ran off a few steps and
turned and fired again, which took no
effect. BY this time Smith got his gun.
though still on his knees and shot
Spence through the head, killing him
almost instantly.
Mr.. Smith had never threatened
Spence's life, as stated in the report.
The dispute over the log was not be-
cause the log was rotten, but because
ing to instructions. There was no man
present by the name of Thompson,
who appears to have been the reporter.
Mr.. Smith fingered until early Friday
morning, when he too passed away.
The friends of both parties were much
surprised and grieved to hear of the
tragedy. Mr.. Smith had been en-
ployed by the Gray Lumber Company
as woodsman for several years, and
had always given perfect satisfaction.
Mr.. Smith was Mason in high stand
ing with his order and was buried here
Friday afternoon with Masonic honors.
He leaves a wife and one child
to grieve his loss, as well as
his many friends. His brother, Mr.. j.
H. Smith, was summoned from Florida
Immediately after the tragedy, but did
not arrive in time to see his brother
alive. Drs. Wilcox and Hendricks were
anxious servants at his side to the end.

WATER TANK COLLAPSED.
Much Excitement Caused at Barley,

Much Excitement Caused at Bailey,
but No One Hurt.
Baxley, Ga, May 4.-This town was
suddenly thrown into great excitement
Friday afternoon by the falling of a
water tank situated in the midst of the
business section of the town. The tank
held about $4,000 gallons of water and
was about half full when it collapsed.
large number of people were walk
ing and driving over the streets, and
ii seems a miracle that no one was
hurt or killed. Several people were
quite near the scene at the time of the
wreck, but succeeded in making their
escape.
The City Council had recently con-
demned the old tank as being in an
unsafe condition and had just com
pleted a new steel tank in lieu of the
old one. A contract had just been en-
tered into between the town and a
party for taking down the old tank,
but these services will now be useless.
