TALE OF GIL WARD
How He Killed a Woman Fled
to Texas, and Was Ac-
quilted.

About Gil Ward, one Of the eleven men
concerned in the killing at Wilson, hangs
a tale.
Yesterday a Wayne county man living in
Raleigh remembered that Gil Ward had a
history In his county. He used to live in
Fremont, and about 1894 or '95, after a
prolonged drunken debauch-he killed a
woman whom he had kept as his mistress.
After the killing Ward fled to Texas
and lived there several years. Finally he
was traced Town and brought back to
North Carolina to stand his trial for muir.
der.
Popular feenng seems to have been very
violent against HIM, for he was brought
to Raleigh and put in the Jail here for
safe-keeping, until his trial could come off
at Goldsboro.
The trial was in 1898. and Ward was fl
nally acquitted on the ground that he was
afflicted with alcoholic insanity at the time
of the murder.
Soon after that he went to Wilson
to live.

From the New York World.

From the New York World.
 The greatest tunnel problem in the world is now being worked out to a fin- ish underneath the great Mount Simplon, that stands on the boundary line between the countries of Italy and Switzerland. Four years ago two boring parties started work on the Simplon tunnel with twelve and a half miles between them. One party began in Switzerland and the other in Italy.
 During that time they have been boring toward each other at the rate of forty feet a day, and at the present time it is calculated that they are less than a mile apart.
 The greatest question which is. inter- esting engineers in all parts of the world is this: will the two boring parties meet in the heart of the mountain or will they miss one another?
 Smaller tunnels have been bored suc- cessfully by this method but the Sim plon vii be the longest tunnel in the world. If the slightest error has been made by the engineers in working out their calculations the two boring par ties may never meet, and the project, which has already cost millions of dol- lars, will be failure.
 All the boring has cen made through solid rock. For four years the two gangs of excavators have been digging and delving in the darkness, guided only by a few matematical calculations.
 The interest in the work has become in- tense especially among the engineers. who will be held responsible if the

adelphia and Baltimore have sent more representatives than New York.
 Life at Bar Harbor has not been quite so strenuous this last week, but there has been enough going on to make it noticea- ble as a summer resort and to insure as much amusement as it is possible to crowd into the twenty-four hours. Even without the presence of the naval officers there have been many means of enjoy ment there this season, and there has not been so much both of hard times and ne- cessary economies. Lunches. dinners. dances, drives and walks have furnished many opportunities for amusement. There are an unusual number of pretty girls, and attractive, if not always eigi- ble, men; many yachts in the harbor, with the guests thereon only too anxious to join the gayety, and while the weather has been cold there as elsewhere it has not served as a damper as it did else where. Philadelphia, Washington and New York are all well represented al Bar Harbor this season, and 1t is really one of the summer resorts which has had and is having a gay season.

Singing Into a Phonooraph.

"When singer is up before an audi ence he or she csn tell whether the effect of the voice .s pressing or not by watch ing the conferences of the listeners, '' says Thomas A. Edison in Popular Me chanics. When, however, one sings into dead instrument, like the phonograph, without the slightest recognition as to whether the voice is properly tuned and pitched. the singer becomes rather nery- ous. l know some very capable singers who can sing splendidly before an audi enoe, but when 1t comes to getting their voice into the pEonograph they gre dumb. I have brought people of great note out to the works and paid them handsomely for their vocal efforts only to find when I came to reproduce these attempts on the photograph that the records were utterly worthless"
