PROMINENT CITIZENS SHOT.
4 Cuban MGrtalIy Wounds Mr.. and
Mrs. Allen at Tampa.

Tampa, Fla, Aug. 14.-Mr. and Mrs.
Charles ]. Allen, highly respected resi-
dents of Tampa, were mortaly wounded
today by Manuel Chavez, a Cuban. The
shooting occurred at the residence of
Allen, on Seventh avenue in the most
fashionable residential section of the
city. Chavez was seen to enter the
house n in a few minutes several
pistol shots were heard by the people
in the neighborhood. Chavez ran from
the house n jumped in a buggy and
drove away.
Investigation revealed the fact that
Allen was shot in three places and
Mrs. Allen was desperately wounded.
Physicians a that all wounds are
mortal. Chavez was caught and placed
in Jail.
Many confusing accounts of the trag-
edy are current but the one generally
believed is that Allen returned home
Unexpectedly and found CheveZ In his
home and that he assaulted Chevez,
striking him a blow in the mouth.
CheveZ, it is said then drew a pistol
and began to fire. One bullet struck
Allen in the left side, another in the
mouth n the third in the abdomen
after passing through the body OF Mrs.
Allen who had rushed between h men
in an effort to separate them. The
shooting of Mrs. Allen is believed to
have been unintentional.
Immediately after the shooting Che
vez rushed from the house bareheaded
and drove off in his buggy that was
standing at the back gate. He subse-
quently surrendered to the sheriff.
An effort was made to get him re-
leased tonight. His fathers firm, n Of
the largest manufacturers of cigars
here, offered to put up Il hundred thou
sand dollars cash bond, bat as the
charge is murder Judge Rebbles re-
fused it. .
Prominent attorneys, including Con-
gresham Sparkman, nave been en-
ployed by the defense.
The preliminary hearing will be held
tomorrow.

LIGHTNING PLAYS HAVOC.
Almost Completely Wrecks "a Large
Residence-Morc Insurance New.

Correspondence of The Messenger
Greensboro, n. c., August Is.
During a heavy thunder storm here
yesterday just before night lightning
struck the residence of Mr.. j. NJ. Bandy
on Carr street, and almost completely
demolished the ten-room building. The
dining room and kitchen, forming an
ell, alone escaping. The chimney was
torn down, and weather boarding ali
over the house is drawn out by the
rails as if a giant charge of gun powder
had shaken it apart. Furniture in
every room was broken or shattered
and paper in one bureau draw was set
afire. There are two large holes. In
one room it goes from the plastering
outward as if made by a cannon ball.,
in the other room the stroke seems to
have come from the outside. The whole
building is a wreck, though standing
as if nothing had happened except for
the breaks referred to and the toppled
chimney. Mrs. Bandy and her daughter
were in the house alone, and were stun
ned. Their escape from death is a
marvel.
One of the most delightful social
events that the younger set has enjoy
ed in some time was a reception given
last night by Miss Katie Vanstory
complimentary to her guest. Miss Lora
Terrell, of Winston, at the h~ospitable
home of her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. c. P.
VanStory on east Market street. The
hall and parlors were tastefully decor
ated with evergreens and cut flowers
Japanese lanters were also used with
fine effect.
Something is brewing in fire insurance
Circles here for a number of special
agents of the outside fire insurance
companies are in the city. They de-
cline to say anything for publication
with regard to the fight with the
Greensboro companies. One of them
said that they were on their individual
business and this was not of a public
mature at all.
The Lindley lark pavilion was used
the first time last night for dancing
purposes. About 80 couples enjoyed it
from 10 until 100 o'clock, and the oc-
casion is said to have been delightful.

Rome. August 16.-It vas said today
that the vatican's idea of appointing
Manager Guidiv of the office of Cardi-
nal Rampolli the papal secretary Of
state to be apostolic delegate at Manila
has been abandoned because he does
not know sufficient English and that he
will be sent as apostolic delegate 20
India instead.
AS to Manager Conaty, rector of the
Catholic university at Washington,
whose possible appointments as apos-
tolic delegate at Manila has been ru-
mored at the vatican denies that his
name has ever been considered in con-
nection with the Manila post where it
is pointed out that the conditions de-
mand a thorough man of business,
speaking %fiuently English and Spanish
of unquestiOned impartiality anC
withal persona grata at Washington.
1t seems probable now that Manager
Merry Del V al, who was to have rep
resented the pope at King Edwards
proposed coronation, will De appointed
Papal Nuncio at Vienna, while Manager
Falconie the apostolic delegate in
Canada, may ultimately be transferred
from Canada to Washington.

THE THUNDER STORM.

Correspondence of The Messenger
Goldsboro, y. c., August Is.
During the storm here early this
morning lightning struck the bell tower
of st. Mary's Roman Catholic church
and tore the cross from the tower and
did considerable damage TO the wood
work The storm was very severe and
caused a great many people all over the
city to get out of their beds at the I'M
seasonable hour Of ) o'clock. The dam
age to the church is all tina has been
reported, but it is thought that this is
not all that was done as the lightnings
flashed with binding brightness at
times and the thunders roared with
defeaning constancy. There was also
considerable wind accompanying the
lelectTIc som and the rain fell in tor
lrents for Z short while.
Mr.. GEORGE G. Aornegay, who has
filled tho .lsi-iOn of register of deeds
for Wayne county for the past years
and whose term Of office would expire
December. resigned that position
today to accept the position of cashier
of the National bank of this city, which
position has been made vacant by the
resignation of Mr.. j. NJ. Hollowell, who
resigned on account of failing eyesight.
The resignation of Mr.. Kornegay as
register is quite a surprise to the public
Iin general. He has made a most eff
Client officer and while he had not pub
llicly announced himself it was gener-
ally understood that. he would be a
candidate for reelection. His retire
ment from the field leaves the contest
between Mr.. n. CT. Britt, of this city
and Mr.. o 3. Hooks, who have al
ready announced themselves and there
may be others. In the meantime and
until a new man is elected at the
lar election in November the office must
not go vacant and the board of county
commissioners will be called up to fill
the temporary position. Just who they
will select is all a matter of conjecture.
Whether they will choose one of the
candidates or not no one knows.
Mayor Geo. E. Hood and Chairman

BreSt, France, August 14.-Soldiers
n gendarmes left here last evening
to protect the commissaries in closing
religious schools at ~Piougonvelin and
Ploumoguer, Finisterre, and the schools
were closed this morning, despite pro-
tests by inhabitants of the towns. 1t
was rumored at first that the troops
and the ~peasantry focked to those
places, remaining on guard until 6
O'Clock this morning When it was learn
ed that the soldiers had gone to Ploug-
onvelin and Ploumoguer.
AT Ploudaniel the barricade of carts,
which barred the way to the sisters
school, has been replaced by a net
work of barbed wire and pointed
stakes have been driven into the

them being from the superior of the

his report the superior aid the sisters
had been ordered twice to leave their
schools, but these orders had not been
obeyed, owing to opposition by the
p~easantry and by the owners of the
property in which the schools are sit
