MAKES FATAL LEAP.
High Diver in the Carnival at Colds

Especial to The Messenger.) }

| Especial to The Messenger-)
Goldsboro, y. c., May 13.-Amid
the gaieties of the carnival last night
had a tendency to mar the festivities
of the evening. There was the larg-
est throng on the grounds which had
been present during the week. The
different attractions had been doing a
good business and everybody, includ-
ing the several hundred visitors from
Wilson. had been enjoying the evening
to the fullest extent up to 11:45
Io'clock. when it was announced that
the sensational exhibition of the even
ling would occur. At the hour men,
!tioned the crowds who had been surg
ling through the different tents gath
ered around the 110-foot high ladder,
from which Professor Danton was to
make an exciting leap into a tank Of
water on the ground below. AS he
descended the tall structure, round
by round. every eye in the vast multi
ltude was riveted on him. He went
UP with that confidential air so char
lacteristic of showmen, and as he
stood on the little platform at the
extreme dizzy heights Of the ladder.
he was the center of attraction for the
whole carnival Two thousand peo-
lple stood breathless with admiring
gaze. He was then in possession OF
his mental faculties, and the gay
lthrong who stood by. as well as the
professor himself, had no thought that
in a few seconds he would not know
what was taking place around him.
He was going then to do what millions
lof people would not 60 for the world.
i nd was congratulating himself that
of the notoriety which he was winning
and was cungratiating himself that
he could perform such perilous feats
land receive the plaudits Of such a vast
throng-just the height of the show
iman's ambition.

and said: Mr.. Hill, you claimed a year
that no one need be out Of a job in this
part OF the country"
Il did" admitted Mr.. Hill
well, your statehent is Incorrect -
declared the young man. Il have been
Ihustling for jog for the past six
months. and can't get work at any
thing I can do"
That's just it, observed Mr.. Hill,
what can you do?"

ltising man; also a first class book
agent" said the young man in one
breath.

Yes. Tammany will not be allowed

too strong and too universal for the

ito go counter to it. Tammany will
have sense enough to recognize the

The dead mans saying will rest
most solidly, however, on his achieve

and without prestige. Mr.. Whitney set
to work at once to make the United
impossible for him to accomplish all
he desired in the short space of four
years. but he laid the foundation on
which the great navy of today was
built. The value of Mr.. Whitney's work
is best attested by speech delivered
by Senator Plum, Republican, of Kan

QUARTERS FOR MARINE GUARD
AT NAVAL STATION NEARLY
FINISHED.

Under the direction of Captain White
the civil engineer at the Naval Station,
the quarters for the marine guard are
being rapidly completed. 1t has been
decided not to roof the various parti-
tiOns allowing the high roof of The
main shed in which the rooms for the
various quarters are being built, serve
for that purpose.
The partitions are eight feet in
height. On the Waikiki side of the
shed is located the lavatory and wash
room. The main quarters are on the
mauka side of the shed. There will be
the kitchen, dining room, sleeping
quarters and canteen. On the Eva side
will be the store room, sergeant's room,
commandments office and guard room.
All of the quarters although amply
large for their particular purposes, take
up but little of the space in the coal
shed There is a very large floor spac
remaining and this can be utilized sOr
drill purposes when wet weather pre-
walls. The marines are to bring two
billiard tables with them. One of these
tables will be located i'm the canteen
room while the other can be put in the
dormitory if there is not sufficient room
in the canteen. No liquor viii be sold
at the canteen.
The idea in not covering the quarters
| is that the particular sides on which
the living quarters are located are not
| exposed to driving rains. ThebricE
warehouse of Davies & Company will
amord ample protection to the men from
wind and rain. There will be an en-

charge against her was called. A. G..
NJ. Robertson representing the defence
was in the police court this morning
and so was j. p BAN who is to assist
in the prosecution but when the case
was called there was no defendant pre-
sent.
The case was a felony charge but
there was no physicians certificate as
signing any reason for the absence OF
the defendant, presented by the de-
fence. No bail was declared forfeited
and no bench warrant was issued for
the appearance Of the defendant so,
without her presence i'm the court, the
case was continued until tomorrow.
Mrs. Turk was observed i'm the She
riffs office a few minutes shortly after
the disposition of the case however.
She seemed to be in good spirits and
| healthy enough to have attended the
session Of court. There is no elevator
in the police station so perhaps the
lady was too tired to climb the stairs.
The woman is charged with shooting
her husband Frank J. Turk, in the
right leg with q % Galore revolver.
