FIENDIsH CRIME.
A Buggy Blown Up With Dynamite
and a Man Killed.

One Of the most fendish and blood
thirsty murders and robberies in the
history OF Washington county, Pa,
occurred Friday afternoon on the Mid
dletoWn road, about Is miles from
Washington Pa. Samuel T. Fergu-
son OF the Ferguson Construction
company Of Pittsburg, was instantly
killed and his secretary, Charles Mar
tin Of Cincinnati, was fatally injured.
The two men were driving along
the road in e buggy, carrying $4,000
in cash with which to pay off some OF
their men employed on construction
work along the line Of the Wabash
railroad, when suddenly an explosion
Of dynamite in the roadway literally
tore the rig to pieces, killing Fergu-
son outright and throwing Martin 200
Feet, tearing bis left arm almost from
the socket. It has been learned that
two men supposed to be Poles placed
the dynamite in the road for the
purpose of killing Paymaster Fer
guson and had arranged to explode it
by means Of an electric battery. The
satchel containing the money is miss
ing.
Two suspects are under arrest in the
camp Of the construction company
near the village, but the farmers OF
the section, who are securing the
county for traces OF the murderers,
believe they have one OF them in
abandoned coal mine about mile
and half northeast OF MiddletoWn.

Hon. Y. J. Pope, Chief Justice Su-
preme Court S. c., Newbery, S. G.
Dear Judge: 1t has been publish
ed in the newspapers that Judge D. A.
Townsend has been assigned TO hold
the term Of court for Lexington
county, commencing on the 2lst in
SAINT, owing to the inability OF Judge
Gage, who has been and still is indis-
posed. Under the regular assignment
made last December, Judge Townsend
would have been the presiding judge
at our term for Fairfield, which also
commences the 2ist instant
Monday week. The members OF oui
bar are uncertain in the premises
whether or not our regular tenn will
be held inaSmuch as it has not been
announced whether or not some one
will be assigned to hold our court al
the time mentioned. We have full
docket and it will be impossible to
have all the cases disposed Of at the
regular term. In this condition cf un-
certainty, I think it is the unanimUu'
wish of our bar that in the event
Judge Townsend will not be here, the
regular tern go by default, as it were,
and that We be allowed to have a
special term for four weeks, beginning
the third Monday in October. Will
YOU, therefore, kindly let me know
who, if any one, will be assigned to
hold our regular term?"
''We would prefer the special term.

Proper Dance Frocks,

Very finely accordion plated frocks
are de rigueur for dances; and the
fichu and wide berthe of lace and in
deed of ribbon, are both popular. A
delightful vieux rose crystalline frock
for young girl had both bodice and
skirt finely plated. Round the hem
were medallions Of cream Brussels
applique, outlined with black velvet
leaves. The plated bodice
was inserted with struggling applique
leaves on the lace and deep berthe
of the same fell over the shoulders.
The arm was bare at the top. while
the full sleeve was put on just above
the elbow and held in place By black
velvet leaves, which looked particu.
larly well on the white arm.

Fashions Of the Hour.

All reception frocks will be cut
very full, lying on the ground all
round and showing any amount OF
stitchery. The intricacies of dress
making are greater than ever and,
despite the attempt at apparent sim
plicity, the enormous amount Of de-
tail in every frock worthy of note Is
such that only experts can undertake
1t with any hope of success. The
woman who can afford two or three
superior frocks has good invest
ment, because there Is so much work
in them and the materials are so
sumptuous that they really ought to
last a longer time than usual. Fash.
ions Of the hour are costly, and it is
useless to pretend they are not.

In his memoirs. Adolf Kussmaui re-
lates curious story of Heidelberg
banker. This banker was known for
his naughty, forbidding manners; con-
sequently, DIR. MUM. the professor Of
anatomy, was much surprised one
day when the banker came and sat
with him in railway car. and, after
a pleasant chat, asked him all sorts
Of questions, especially about the
anatomy Of the heart. The next day,
he even called, by permission, in the
medical department, and watched the
professor dissecting one Of those or
gans. Then he drove home. and a
few hours it became known that he
had committed suicide by skillfully
plunging a dagger into his heart.

Reads Like a Miracle.

Friarspoint, Miss, Nov. 30.-The
Butler case still continues to be the
talk Of the towr Mr.. G. L. Butler, the
father Of the little boy, says:
"The doctor said my boy had disease
Of the spinal cord, and treated him
for two months, during which he got
worse all the time. Finally the doctor
told me he did not know what was the
trouble. The boy would wake up dur
ing the night and say that he was
dying. He would be nervous and trem-
bling and would wantzto run from the
house. saying he saw ugly things
which frightened him. After we had
tried everything else, read an adver-
tisement of Dodd's Kidney Pills as
cure for Nervous Troubles. I pur-
chased some and used them until he
uad taken altogether eight boxes when
he was sound and we'll with not sim
gle symptom of the old trouble. This
was some months ago. and feel sure
that he is permanently cured. We owe
to Dodd's Kidney Pills all the credit
for his restoration to good health"

Pettjcoats of Paris,

The flannel petticoat is seen once
more at the leading lingerie shops in
Paris. 1t is beautifully shaped and
trimmed with frills of silk, often in
serted with medallions of coarse silk
embroidery. In most cases these are
lined with thin silk. AS a matter of
fact. flannel is lovely fabric if it is
only treated properly, and nowadays
the manufacturers produce it in the
most beautiful colorings. Such gar
ments entirely upset all our old ideas
Of the red flannel petticoats Of our

laundering, slip out the asbestos and
launder as doilies.
Flarina Turbans Stylish.

In turbans, the canotier, or boat
shape, still holds first place, though
some round and box shapes are seen.
These hats are made in quilted silk,
IL chenille or braided felt, in beaver,
in velvet, in fur.
Little bouton roses will hold the
popularity they have gained this sum-
mer and the most famous of the Pa
rIsian milliners show a liking for the
mingling of these tiny roses in very
deep red and tea rose, or yellowlsh
pink shade. One black velvet hat
with high crown and broad brim has
prim little roses in these two colors
grouped around the crown like a high
dog collar, with cluster Of the flow
ers at the side, from which starts one
black plume curling over the brim
and down over the shoulder.

New Fancy in Gloves.

Soft gauntlets that pull on and
shape to the arm are the newest fan
cies in gloves. They fit snugly over
the wrist in the back and the little
fuIlness is gathered to the front with
an inside elastic band. If they are of
dark kid. they are lined with a deli
cate light gray or pink. An unusually
striking pair was of black lined with
soft yellow. Another pretty evening
glove is shaded from very light gray
in the hand up to quite dark in the
gauntlet.

Water Supply Important.

Many people who build homes in
the country fail to realize, until 1t is
too late. that the question of water
supply is the most important problem
with which they have to grapple. The
fac. is that an abundant quantity of
water should be provided for before
the location for house or stable or gar
den is chosen. Every additional foot
which water has to be carried in
creases the expense and often dimin-
lshes the supply.-Country Life in

1t costs the farmers of the United

their crops to market than 1t does the
farmers of Europe on an equal ton

cause the roads of Europe are three
times as good as the roads Of this
country on an average. The enor-
