TOWER TRAP EoR cuNNeRs.
A Device Common in Europe, But I'm
l,rown in This Country.

known in This Country
The equipment Of the Pinehurst IN.
c. Gun Club embraces an interest
ing feature in the shape of tower
trap Such traps are quite common i'll
Europe but practically unknown in
this country.
In the top Of the tower arc two tar
get traps, one at the right and one at
tile left. The attendant is protected
by n heavy plank partition, which also
hides the traps from view. The traps
are pulled from the rear, in the usual
manner.
Birds may be thrown in five ways,
right. left, unknown, overhead and
doubles. In all Of these events, with
the exception Of the overhead birds,
the shooter faces the tower at the
usual distance. In the overhead shoot
ing he stands back to the tower and
directly underneath it. The sport fur
nished is novel as. compared with the
usual trap shooting.
The idea is to produce conditions
such as those the sportsman exper!
ences in wild water fowl. pigeon or
other such shooting, or in shooting
birds which fly from trees. Known
angles to the right and left are not
difficult and many gunners have a
knack for killing oveRhead birds, but
unknown angles puzzle the experts,
and doubles, two birds shooting off in
opposite directions at the same time,
call for skill and qulckness that few
possess. But doubles are not impos-
sible, and the shooting is wonderfully
fascinating because of its difficulty.

A Berlin Tragedy.

A dispatch from Berlin, Germany,
says Lieut. CaIl Beseke, (retircd,) }
after long and steady decay Of for
tune Wednesday took his last money
and gave q splendid dinner in honor
Of his nineteen-year-old daughters
birthday. Beseke then poisoned his
wife. daughter, two sons, respectively
y and Is years old, cadets at a mill
Jary academy, and himself, with syan-
ide OF potassium, which he seemingly
inserted in the mouth of each, in the
form Of a pill, after they had gone
into drunken sleep.
After a brilliant career and mar
riage with an heiress, Beseke had
reached the end Of his fortune and
his goods were to be sold by the sber-
if. He won the iron cross during the
war Of 1901 with France, married
the daughter Of rich hotel-keeper,
hereby having to leave the service, as
he married out OF his castle, and
started newspaper. The lieutenant
wrote we'll, but the paper was not sue
cessful, and he became sales agent for
a manufacturer and then manager Of
a map-making enterprise. He lived
beyond his means for thirty years.
Last night the Beseke family had a
box at the Iroquois. At 10 o'clock
dinner was ordered in from caterer.
Beseke was especially gay and tender,
and pressed bis wife and his three
children to drink lots Of champagne.
He died holding bis wife'S hand tight

Congressman Croft Dead.

A dispatch from Washington dated
March 9, says: Representative
George W. Croft OF the Secord con-
gressional district Of South Carolina
is critically il at his home here and
hope Of his recovery has beer aban-
doned. He is suffering from: blood
poisoning with complications OF storm
ach trouble and heart failure due to
protracted illness. Heart stimulants
and saline solution are being admin
istered, but they are giving only in
different relief, and his death is be-
lieved to be but question Of a few
hours. Mr.. Croft's brother, a physi-
clan Of Aiken, S. c., is with him. Mr..
Croft's illness dates back about eight
weeks when he suffered an inflamma-
tion Of the right hand, cue, it is be-
lieved, primarily to splinter which
was removed from the palm after he
had been sick several days. For a
time the Inflammation decreased and
Mr.. Croft apparently was better:
later, however, it again became acute
and spread with greater virulence
than before, the whole right forearm
being affected. Mr.. Croft is 81 years
Of age, is a well known lawyer Of
South Carolina and was leading coun-
sci for the defense in the Tillman trial
last year" He died Thursday.

efforts to burn the immediate business
district. At that, however, there is
grave danger of the tire starting in
the great outlying districts. among
the factories CT dwelling houses and
ten times the number of troops now
on hand would be entirely insufficient

The fire in East Washington street
has burned out exactly the district

no danger of it spreading either fur
ther east or west or to the north

Catholic church was for a while in

the flames.

headquarters all night, the police
fearing to remove him to the county

Insane Mans Freak

At Valdosta, Ca, negro named
John Wesley Stevens was adjudged in
sane and will be sent to the asylum.
He had been terrorizing the negroes
around Clayatteville and Olympia and
was arrested Saturday and started to
the city on the train. When some
distance this side of Olympia he
jumped head-foremost through the
car window and took to the woods.
He was found Sunday in lake, wad-
ing around in water up to his neck.
He was finally arrested again and
brought here for trial. The negro
has some lucid moments, though he
suffers periodic spells, caused by hav-
ing his head crushed under a wagon
wheel some time ago.

Senator Tillnlan Sick.

A dispatch from Washington says
Senator Tillman OF South Carolina is
very i'll with a serious throat trouble.
His friends are much concerned as it
is impossible for him to swallow and
a little liquid nourishment is all that
be can take. A thorough examination
was made of the Senator's throat
Wednesday and disclosed the fact that
al absceSS had formed on the left
torsil. 1t is sid to be very small
one and the physicians believe it can
be relieved without great difficulty.
An operation will be performed Thurs
day morning After that several days
of complete rest will be necessary by
which time the PHYSICIANS hope the
throat again will be in it's normal
condition. The statement was made
at the senator's house "Wednesday
night that his condition is not dang

A Good Man Gone.

The Columbia State says it was
but a week ago that many friends
were called upon to mourn the death
of Mrs. O. a. Darby, and now comes
the announcement of the death of
that faithful servant of the South
Carolina conference, Rev. O. a. Darby
of Sumter county. 1t was feared that
the blow caused by the death of his
wife had affected him very greatly,
and while the news Of DR.. Darby's
death was not expected it did not
create such shock as it would other
wise. The State "Wednesday night
received a telegram from Mr.. E. D.
Smith Of Lynch5urg stating: Rev.
o. A. Darby died suddenly Wednes-
day afternoon at : O'Clock. His wife
died suddenly just ten days ago. He
was in apparently good health up to
the time of his death. Funeral at
Washington Street church at noon

L. D. Gardner, importer of radilm,

The city Of Wilkesbarre and the
Wyoming valley in Pennsylvania, was
in turmoil Wednesday. The mighty
flow Of water spread cut north and
south west, making the north branch
OF the Susquehanna river vast, mad

At Plymouth the entire business
section Of tie town is under water.
Only few business houses escap-

water works Of Danville are under
water and the city is without electric
