r. E. L. Crawford. a young and
prosperous farmer residing about fif-
teen miles from Augusta, near Friend
ship Church. on the Dean Bridge road
accidentally blew off the top of his
head Sunday evening with a shotgun
loaded with bird shot Early in the
afternoon his wife called his attention
to a hawk that was sailing about the
house. Mr.. Crawford went in the
house, secured his shotgun and killed
the hawk. Returning, he laid the gun
down on the rear porch and, going to
the well. washed his hands. A little
later Mrs. Crawford called her hus-
bands attention to a cat that had been
giving trouble-catching chickens about
the yard. Going on the back porch
where he had left the gun, the butt
resting on the ground, Mr. Crawford
attempted to pull it up through the
balustrades by the barrel. Evidently
the trigger caught on one of the spokes
of the balustrade. pulled back as the
gun was lifted up, and the entire con-
tents of one barrel struck Mr.. Craw-
ford in the forehead. The range was
so close that the skull was torn open
and the unfortunate mans brains were
spattered as high as the ceiling. Death
was almost instantaneous.

Ter, Mutt Kiay, eleven miles west OF
Liam Dian Sian, July 12.-The oppos-
ing armies are grimly facing each
other on the nights across the Liank

grapple.
The Liank crosses the main Lao

eight miles east of Lao Yang. 1t
flows north into the Tai Use river,
which passes through Lao Yang and
empties into the Lao river.
The correspondent of the Associated

ty-five mile run from Saao-Lind il,
saw long lines of infantry and trans
port trains winding through the noun
tains. At Liam Dian-Sian a lookout,
stationed in a tree top. pointed out the
way to Gen. Kellers headquarters, near
Niut-Kiay. There the Russian eastern
army was found hidden in the hills.
In a plain tent the correspondent saw
Gen. Killer, living like a simple soldier,
his staff being quartered in native
hut near by. The General looked cheer
full and was bronzed by exposure He
talked enthusiastically of the engage

The whole army is anxious to fight
Gen. Kuroki, whose Headquarters are
at Vandiapudze, and whose men are
entrenched on the other side of the
river. The burning question is who
will be the first to cross the dread
valley of the Liank river.

From the New York Times.
The reason that J. Pierpont Morgan

cellent authority is a well-known Fifth
avenue jewelry firm The story came
out Yesterday
: The jewelry firm not long ago re-
ceived a very fine pearl. SO strikineiy
handsome was the jewel and so GER
tain were the FIRMS experts that Il
would appeal with most effect 10 a con-
f1osseur, that Il was determined TO Offer
II at private sale TO some one who
not only knew what was what, but
who was able 10 crafty his tastes
without regard TO cost.
The question was thoroughly thresh.
ed over in the private Office Of the firm.
Finally one of the partners said: Let
send this down 10 Mr.. Morgan and let
him have first say on IT,"
The idea met with unanimous ap-
prevail, and a stenographer was in
structed 10 write TO Mr.. Morgan that
II he wanted the pearl. which was
set In a scarfpin, he could have Il FOR
$4,000. In the event the pearl did not
meet with the approval--it was for

In due time the pearl. accompanied
by the firms letter, reached Mr. Nor

in tissue paper and inclosed In a leath-

cuss the conference. Regarding the
Craftsmanship of the. Democratic Ma
tional Committee. they We're silent
also.
1t IS known Mr. Sheehan is very
much averse to the, proposition that
he should take the possession himself,
believing he can be of more service 10
the party in other ways. At any rate
it may be said upon authority that
nothing has been settled on the SUBJ
iect.
There IS a rumor in Kingston to-
night that Judge Parker wants the
craftsmanship to go to Senator Cor
man. but no verification is possible.
1t is beginning to be a source of
some wonder as to what has become
of the telegram to Judge Parker, which
was formally adopted by the St. Louis
convention Saturday night. 1t has not
reached Esopus and Judge Parker
knows it's tenor only from the Assoc
ciated Press bulletin, which was tele-
phOned to him that night and from the
| newspapers of the next day.
Judge Parker sent to former Pres
ident Cleveland this afternoon let
ter in reply to the latter's telegram of
ngratulation and commendation. The
letter is of considerable length, but its
contents have not been made public.
Former United States Senator David
B. Hill has not come to Rosemont

known that he is coming. though he
has a standing invitation from Judge
