TRAGEDY IN HIGH LIFE.
Newport Shocked by the Suicide OF
Il Disappointed Lover.

pISappOlntmcntO over Il broken matri-
munial engagement is believed to have
been the cause Of the suicide at New
port, Il. L.. of Robert Reading Rem
ingtOn, OF New York Mr.. Remington
went over to the club house from his
rooms at the Lii Forge cottage about
/ o'clock Monday afternoon, and, after
reading the papers for some time,
went To the committee rooms on the
second floor. An hour and a half later
two mutlled reports were heard, but
those in the building paid no attention
to them. Later Mr.. Remington'S
body was found by Il member who went
to the committee room. Remington
evidently had been dead for some time.
local undertaken took charge of the
body.
Mr. Remington was well known
among the summer residents of New
port and had been closely identified
with the social world of that resort
FOR the last seven or eight years. His
engagement TO Miss May Van Allen.
daughter Of James Van Allen and
granddaughter Of Mrs. William Astor,
has been discussed for some time. At
first ii vas denied and then affirmed.
but it is generally believed there was
a definite engagement, which, how
ever, was broken some three weeks
ago. 1t is said that Mr.. Van Allen
was greatly opposed to the engage
ment from the beginning.
Since then Mr.. Remington has been
respondent. although when asked
about the engagement he steadily af-
lirmcd that ne WAS to be married in
the fall. He left the city about ten
days ago. breaking up his domestic
arrangements and sending away all
his elects. ON Thursday of last week.
however, he suddenly returned to
Newport. He had frequentcd the
leading clubs of Newport, but seemed
to desire to be left alone.
When the body was discovered blood
was coming from the mouth and a re-
vOlycr was found by the dead mans
side. y physician found that three
shots had been fired from the re-
volvcr, and an examination Of the
head showed that all three had taken
effect. The first bullet apparently
ploughcd across the forehead. cutting
deep cash. and the second glanced
up over the head, making a furrOw on
the top of the Uranium, but still not
entering the skull. The third shot
was fired through the mouth and the
bullet entered the brain, death prob
ably resulting instantly The revolver
was 3S-calibrc.

A Murdered Girl.

The Spartanburg Journal says: Miss
Minnie Mitchell, who was cruelty MUIR
dered in Chicago, a few days ago, was
a sister Of Robert II. Mitchell, who
married Miss Minnie TRIMMER, Of
Spartanburg, and who is we'll known
here. The Chicago papers recently
have contained long stories OF this
brutal and sensational murder. The
body of the young lady was found
buried under some rubbish in the very
heart OF the city, where it was discov-
cred several days after the murder had
been committed. A bullet hole was
found in her head and her clothes
were badly torn, which showed there
had been struggle. The American,
one Of Chicagos leading newspapers.
has taken great interest in the affair,
having offered reward of $1,000 for
the capture of the murderer, whose
identity has been ferretted out by the
reporters OF that newspaper. His name
is VIM. Bartholin and he was suitor
for Miss Mitchell's hand. Every effort
is being made for his capture.

Murdered His Landlord.

The cOronerS jury Investigating the
robbery and murder of Watkins New
man and the partial cremation OF his
body in his home near jefferson City,
Tenn, reported Wednesday, recon-
mending the arrest OF William Wat
kins. The accused was witness be-
fore the jury and was at once taken
into custody and jailed at MorriStown,
Tenn. The testimony brought out
showed that Newman had been muir
dered, tied to his bed and the house
set ON fire. His arms and legs were
burned Off, and an examination showed
that robbery had also been committed.
All the testimony was damaging to
Watkins, but that OF c. r. Rankin, a
lawyer, was especially SO. Watkins
had been elected from one of New
mans houses and went to Rankin to
consult him concerning suit for dam
ages. He asked the attorney what
would he The effect on the suit if
Newman was out OF the way and could
not testify. He made the assertion
three times In his attorneys presence
that he would get even with Newman.
Other arrests are expected.

SIXTEEN KILLED.
Terrific Explosion of Two Steel
Digesters.
MANGLED AND BURNED
Details of BIood-Curdling Occur
renee I'm Delaware Pulp Mills.
The Worst Is Yet To BE Told.
Many Persons Are Missing.

\ special from Wilmington, Del. =,
says sixteen workmen are known t.
have been killed, six are missing and
three others are badly injured by the
explosion OF two steel digesters in the
Delaware Pulp mills, i'm the Jessup &
Moore Paper company's works, on the
Christiana, Wednesday afternoon.
The dead are: Frank Harris, VIM.
Burke, James Nagle, John Mccormick,
Zacharius Collins, colored, JAS Stokes,
Joseph Lumbacher and Granville Wa
terS.
The missing: William Scott, Joseph
Henry, Joel Hutton and Wm. Ruth,
tiremen; e. IL. Mousley and James
Sweeney.
The injured: James Jeter, badly
burned, recovery doubtful; John Col
lins, burned and inhaled flames; Geo.
Durham, burned and scalded, recovery
doubtful.
The digesters were located in two
story building. There were ten OF them
in the building, each one resembling a
vat and about six feet in diameter
1ney were used for reducing wood
pulp. Eighteen men were at work
in the building. There were two ter
rifle reports, and the next instant the
building and other mills about the
structure were completely wrecked.
One digester was blown into the air
and fell TO the ground $50 feet away.
\ dense volume OF smoke for time
prevented the outside workmen from
Al F1fT To ha ri insa
who were caught in the ruins OF the
falling building. Several men made
their escape without any injury.
An alarm of fire was sounded and
the entire department OF the city and
a large force of policemen were soon
on the ground and the work OF rescue
was Immediately begun. Several OF
the workmen were taken out uncon-
scious, only TO die after being removed
to hospitals. The wreckage was piled
up for more than thirty feet and the
escaping steam made the work of res
cue rather difficult
Those who were killed outright were
nEangled and burned by escaping acid
that flowed over their bodies from the
broken digesters. Up to this writing
eight persons are dead, and according
to the officials OF the company at least
six others are in the ruins.
To add to the horror Of the siGua-
tion, the wreckage took fire, but after
some difficulty the fire department
managed to Subdue the flames and the
work Of rescue was continued.
Steam was used in the digesterS.
The officers OF the company think that
too much steam was generated in
them and that this was the cause of
the explosion. The monetary loss is
estimated at $50, 900.

Nearly IA Million Pensioners.

Congress has been running a race
with death, and congress has won, says
the Baltimore Sun. The civil war
pensioners are now dying at rapid
rate, and yet the pension list is In
creaSing. Thirty-seven years after
the close OF the war there are more
pensioners than ever before. The
number lacks only GA OF being a
round million. This was an increase
OF 1927 since 1899. The experts say
it is the high-water mark, and that
from now on the increasing death rate
will decrease the pension list. This
has been predicted each year for the
past twenty years, but each time con
gresS has rallied to the rescue OF the
list and added more names than death
could take Off.

The encroachment on the liberty of
the miners is greater with every ex-
ample OF this misuse of the power of
the federal injunction.
There was a time in the history of
the struggle between capital and its
employees that IL was q serious penal
OtfenSe for man to accept or demand
more than a rate of wages so low that
it seems incredible that workmen were
able to live at all. 1t was no mere
make believe law either and was but
tressed by another that made il pun
iShable by imprisonment to refuse to
work ut the prevailing rate.
1t was from this condition of Slav-
who do the worlds work
The injunction principle would again
bind the hands OF labor and make it
absolutely dependent on the generosity
of employers.
1t is not for the law to say that men
shall not join unions Tor their mutual
benefit or that they shall not endcavor
To get Others 10 join them or that they
shall not form camps or do anything
else that is not in itself unlawful, and
when the law Is turned aud bent to
make the! things criminal, to the end
that some man or set Of men may hire
workers cheaply, there is cDgendered
Il contempt for laws that may not al
ways be confined to the Judge made
rulings.
The progress Of labor has been over
the wrecks Of just such obstacles as
these, and it is absurd to suppose that
this progress can be halted now. The
injunctiOnS of Judge Jackson and
Judge Keller will never become prece-
dents. Whether they are sustained
for the present or not, they will soon

opinion, against the decisions of which
no injustice can stand in free coun-

Within generation these injunc-
tionS will he as great curioSitles in the
history OF the struggle for better con
ditionS for labOring men as the old law
referred to above that made il crime
to refuse work for small and arb-
trarily set rate of wages.
The law is what the people make it.
and the people Of the United States
will never be Il party to the erection of
such tyrannical and Onc-Sded rulings
as these into part of the legal system.

\ Sad Tragedy.

a special from Eorkvlle says: Early
Wednesday morning, at Pleasant
Ridge, about eighteen miles above
here, in GaStona County, y. c., Jesse
FarriS shot and wounded Harvey Dick
son and a short time afterwards shot
and killed himself. Both parties are
we'll known white citizens of that
section. The facts surrounding TIE
tragedy are as follows; FarriS had had
trouble with his family and as re-
suit had not been living at home for
more than a year. Yesterday he re-
turned in bad humor, being intoxi-
Gated. His wife and daughter were
afraid to stay in the house with him
without protection, and asked Dick
son, neighbor, to come and stay in
their home during the night and un-
til the husband and father became
sober. Dickson came to the house
after dark, and he and FarriS sat on
the front piazza and talked in a friend
ly manner for an hour or more, at the
end Of which time Dickson retired to
the room that had been assigned him.
subsequently FarriS went to Dickson
and said that he was going to shoot
him, and said TO his family that the
lights will burn all night tonight"
Dickson was not alarmed at the threat
and only realized that it was not an
idle one when some time later load
Of shot was emptied into his thigh
from a gun fired through an open win
dow by Jesse FarriS Immediately
after firing the shot FarriS went to
the rear of the house and shot him
self through the head, dying in Il
short time from the wound. 1t is
said that Dickson will recover, his
wound not being serious

THE retirement of Hon. VIM. E.
Lee from the state Board of Control
is a positive loss to the staet. Mr..
Lee was something higher and bet
ter than fine executive officer and
business mamie has been close
student of the relations of state de-
pendents to the body polite, a
branch of sociology that needs
close attention and study in order
that best results may be achieved
for such wardsor dependents and for
the state. He has given penology
his close consideration, and his ex-
perience at the bead of the St.
Cloud reformatory gave him rare
opportunity to study the science in
the concrete as well as the abstract.
The care of the insane, the feeble
minded, the deaf and dumb, as well
as every phase Of the criminal
classes, was made a matter ofstudy
