THE TlLLMAN TRIAL.
Rapid Progress Made, Many Witnesses
Being Examined.

Lexington, S. c., Sept. 29.--Good
speed was made, today, in the trial
here of Former Lieut.. Gov. James Fl.
Tillman. who is charged with the MUIR
der Of N. G. Gonzales, editor of the
State.
A large number of witnesses We're
examined. One line of examination
pursued by the State was with a view
to laying the foundation for the intro
duction of dying declarations. Four of
the physicians who participated in the
operation of Mr.. Gonzales after he was
shot were on the stand, today-Drs.
Query, Pope. Taylor and Griffith.
Much of the testimony of the physicians
was technical.
Ambrose l.. Gonzales, publisher OF
the State, and brother of n. G. Con
gales, was called to the stand when the
solicitor offered in evidence the files of
the State for the year, 1903 the purpose
being as announced by counsel, to in
troduce the editorials in the State
newspaper of which N. G. Gonzales
was editor from July l, 1902, to Dec. 81,
1902. The editorials in question are in
relation to James H. Tillman. The
reading of the editorials was postponed
so that counsel for the defense might
read then first.
On cross-examination, Mr.. Gonzales
said he could not say that he knew his
brother to have entertained bitter feel
ings toward j. H. Tillman, nor could
he say that he knew his brothers feel
ings toward the defendant to have been
hostile. His brother had been. he said,
in control of the editorials and wrote
them without consultation

An unsuccessful attempt at rob-
berry was made in the city, Sun
day evening. A young lady who lives
near the corner of Sewall5 and Court
streets, was going up the latter street.
not long after o'clock, having made a
call after church. and when opposite
the residence of Dr. L. L.sSDolliver,e a
man jumped from behindsa tree and
struck her in the back of the head,
telling her to the sidewalk. She had a
prayer book and an umbrella in her
hands. and as she fell the latter was
broken under her. The man then
grabbed the prayer book, at the same
time placing n hand over her mouth,
but she managed to scream. and the
man, fearing an alarm, turned and
fled 1t was probable that owing to the
darkness he mistook the prayer book
for purse, which prompted him to
make the assault. The young woman
was uninjured except from the shock
occasiOned by the fright. She did not
get q very clear idea of the man, eX-
cept that he was short and thick set,
aud had Il black moustache. She also
noticed that his hands We're dirty. The
mater was not reported to the police
until yesterday.

in the world of militant philanthropy.
AS the daughter of the founder and
commander of the Salvation Army,
she was actively and earnestly linden.

She shared the zeal and enthusiasm of
General Booth, and dedicated the

the condition of the submerged classes.
Her gentle pleadings were benedic-

brought messages OF hope and cheer.
They hailed her as good angel, and

who lost their lives. and that the prop

The dead are mostly Italians and
Slavs. the only other nationality
represented being Ireland, Sarah
O'Toole. There were number of
Halloween parties in the tenement, and
the fire started in the cellar. attacking
Immediately the only stairway leading
from the upper stories. There were
plenty Of FIRE escapes, however, and
the loss Of life resulted from the panic
Of the tenants, who struggled madly
to be first at the escapes, thereby
blocking the way and resulting In their
