SLEW HIS SWEETHEART
AND THEN HIMSELF.
Rarber Used His Razor Before the
Girls Mother.

Chillicothe, o., March 30.-Forest Nc
Cord, a barber, aged "a years living
at Borunville, this county, to-day kill
ed Charity Storts, aged 20 years. by
cutting her throat from ear to ear,
after which he cut his own throat in
a like manner.
The deed was done at the girls home,
near South Salem. McCord and a
number of companions were drinking
heavily Sunday, and he struck one of
them with a beer bottle. A warrant
was issued for his arrest He left his
home Immediately for the Storts home,
eight miles distant, and found the
young girl alone. Her mother was in
an upper room. He remained with Miss
Storts about an hour, when her
screams brought her mother to the
stairway. Then she saw her daugh-
ter in McCord's arms, covered with
blood, and her head almost severed
from her body.
She rushed down stairs, but before
she reached the first floor McCord
dropped the girl and drew the razor
across his own throat and fell to the
floor.
McCord and Miss Storts had been
sweethearts for several years. 1t is
supposed that McCord, fearing arrest,
was filled with remorse, and went to
the Storts' home and committed the
deed.

FOR EARLY INSPECTION.
Most of the States Report Their
Militia Prepared.

Washington, March 30.-Prompt and
satisfactory responses have been re-
ceived at the War Department from
adjutant generals of states and terri
tories to the recent telegraphic inquiry
as to when the organized militia will be
ready for personal inspection by an
army officer in order to determine the
number of magazine arms and equip
ments to be issued to them under the
provisions of the new militia law.
With few exceptions the state troops
will be ready for the proposed inspec-
tiOn during the month of April. Among
the states which have announced their
readiness for inspection, either during
April or at the convenience of the
War Department, are: Alabama, Geor-
gia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi,
North Carolina, South Carolina, Vir-
ginia and West Virginia.
The militia of Florida is being re-
organized, and that state suggested
that the inspection of her troops be
postponed until August. The new ad-
jutant general of Tennessee suggests
that the inspection of the militia of
that state be deferred until May or
June.
There are 2,065 organizations in the
several states, stationed at 1,165 places,
making the proposed inspection an un-
dertaking of great magnitude.

TRIED TO SHOOT PROVOST
Woman Made an Attack Upon the
French Author.

Paris, March 30.-Considerable stir
was created here this afternoon by the
news of an attempt to shoot the we'll
known novelist, Marcel Provost.
1t appears that as M. Provost was
entering the office of the Society of
Men of Letters, in the Rue Rougement,
where the election of officers for the
coming year was about to be held, a
stylishly dressed young woman, whose
name was afterwards given as Mile.
Emma Touret, alighted from carriage
and fired two shots from a revolver at
him, at the same time calling him by
name. The shots missed, and the wom-
an was about to fire a third time, when
M. Provost disarmed her.
She was taken temporarily in GUS
tody and explained that she had known
NJ. Provost in London some time ago.
His avoidance of her since that time
had prompted her to seek to avenge
herself, but she did not intend to kill
the novelist.
NJ. Provost refused to follow up the
matter and Mile. TOuret was set at
liberty. 1t is stated that the woman s
brother vainly tried to force a duel on
M. Provost.
M. Marcel Provost was elected pres
ident of the Society of Men of Letters
at the election, which followed the
shooting.

Been Discovered.
Newport News, Va, March 3d.
Heavy damage ashore and afoat was
wrought by wind and wave during the
storm which has ragged in the past
twenty-four hours. The storm culmi-
mated to-day in violent gale. The
tide reached a danger point within two
feet of the level of the floors of the
piers, and threatened to bring great
disaster to property along the water
front
To venture out into the raging seas
was equivalent to attempting suicide,
and many sea-faring men stayed on
shore last night rather than risk their
lives on the waves.
The twO-masted schooner VIM. B.
Hall, bound up the James river to
Norfolk, with $4,000 brick, sank at her
anchorage and will probably be to-
tai loss.
The captain and crew of two men
put off from the boat in an open skiff
as she was going down and attempted
to reach shore. The men. who were all
negroes, fought frantically against
the elements. They were finally COM
PEELED to give up the fight and sank
exhausted into the bottom of the boat.
The men were exposed to the storm
until o'clock this morning, when
they were rescued by the Chesapeake
and Ohio tug Alice. They were almost
frozen when picked up.
The dead body of VIM. Collier of the
oyster pungy w. H. Smith. which cap
sized in Chesapeake bay Jan. 80, was
cast up by the sea at Ocean View to-
dav.
The body of a negro, who probably
lost his life in last nights storm, was
found in a fisherman's net at the
mouth of Hampton creek this after
noon. The corpse has not been identi-
fed.

SOLUTION LIES WITH
THE NEGRO HIMSELF.
Views One of the Race Takes of
the Alleged Problem.

Chicago, March 30.-"The solution of
the negro problem lies with the negro
himself. 1t can be brought about by
his acquiring land, saving money and
, educating his sons. There is nothing
in the cry about social equality. The
negro does not want it and does not
expect it,"
This statement was made last night
at Bethel Church by B. j. SmallWood,
president of the Temperance, Industrial
and Collegiate Institute, a negro in
stitution at Claremont Va. "At the
close of the Civil War" President
Smallwood said, the negro had
nothing. Since then he has accumulated
$500, 900, 900 worth of property. He has
built up ninety-siX institutions of
learning, and the race has furnished
27 1000 school teachers. He has turned
his attention to buying land, and this
will eventually result in the solution of
the race problem.
Il have no objection to a law re-
quiring negroes to ride in a separate
coach on the railways. What l do
want is a division of the coach so that
we would not have to mingle with the
element in our race that is Stunned by
the educated whites in theirs"

Atlanta, March 30.-At a mass meet
ing of the citizens of Atlanta at the
Grand Opera House tonight, at which
about 1000 were present, a total of $S5, =
748 was raised on the citizens fund of
100000 for the proposed Presbyterian
University. All denominations and
classes of citizens participated and gave
freely.
: Nearly $4,000 of the amount was
raised among the working men and en-
ployes of Atlanta business establish
IN snts to-day. Rev. Sam p. Jones did
the money raising after number of
prominent speakers had been heard
from, and his remarks brought out the
giving qualities of those present.
One of the most interesting subscrip-
tions made was by the members of
the Atlanta Fire Department. who
gave total of $3.50. The subscrip-
tions ranged from $40 to $1,000 from in
dividuals.
Another meeting will be held to-mor-
row night at the Central Presbyterian
Church to complete the fund. The
Presbyterian part of the fund, amount
ing to $15O,O0O, is already assured, so
there is no doubt Atlanta will make
the offer of a quarter of million for
the proposed million-d dollar institution.

EIGHTEEN MEN ARE
HELD AT WATERBURY,
Those Who Committed Deeds of
Violence May BE Discovered.


Violence May BE Discovered.
Waterbury. Conn, March 30.-Eigh-
teen men placed under arrest on the
charge of assault with intent to kill
was the record of activity on the part
of the police to-day in their efforts to
discover the authors of some of the
outbreaks of violence which have oc-
CURED since the beginning of the strike
of motormen and conductors of the
Connecticut Railway and Lighting
Company eleven weeks ago.
The men arrested are charged in the
warrants with assault on VIM. r. Mer-
ner and George Marsett, with intent to
kill. These two men were the non-u
ion employees of the trolley company
who had charge of a car, which was
attacked at a lonely spot on the Wa
terville line. Both were assaulted, and
one was beaten into insensibility and
left lying on the rails.
This occurred a week prior to an at
tack of a similar nature on a car at
Forest Park, when policeman Paul
Mendelssohn was killed by a bullet
from a mob of masked men. Since
the murder was committed, detectives,
attracted by the large rewards Of
fered have been quietly at work. While
the arrests to-day are nominally for
the assaults of Feb. 20, the officials do
not deny that they hope from this
action to learn something that will
clear up the mystery of Mendelssohn's
death. Seven of those arrested are
members of the trolley mems union.
Although the officials decline to in
dicate the nature of the evidence on
which the arrests are based, a report,
which seemed reliable. was current to
the effect that one man would turn
states evidence.
