Pitchforks at an Election.

Extraordinary scenes occurred at
the counting of votes during NUM-
cipal election at Florenzac, near Mont
pellier, France.
It was stated that the presiding Of
flcer and two of the assessors had ex-
tracted ballot papers and placed them
In their pockets. Upon the fraud be-
ing denounced by the opposition,
several hundred peasants, armed with
pitchferks and other weapons, at
tempted to break into the school
room wherei the counting was going
on, and threatened to lynch the Off
cials concerned.
It took 100 gendarmes all their time
to repel the infuriated crowd, and
several times they had to charge with
drawn swords..

The London Truth cannot imagine

The London Truth cannot imagine
why the Duke Of Roxburghe should be
looked on as fortune hunter. As ne
married an American girl, we are quite
prepared to believe that he married
from love. But, after all, the fact that
his own fortune is very great is hard
" sufficient defense against the
charge Of fortune hunting Although
all English duke could afford to marry
any one, it happens that he never does
marry any one who does not possess
a large fortune. The suspicion OF for
tune hunting is not entirely baseiess,

lncumbranee of Skirts Shown by Prac-

Two women well known in Vienna
were recently walking beside Lake
Geneva, discussing the latest fash.
ions, when one Of them suddenly re-.
marked that she wished she was not
obliged to wear a skirt, as she would
very much like to bathe then and
there in the cool lake. A warm argu-
ment followed, one maintaining that
petticoat would not prove an en-
cumbrance in the water and the other
insisting that no woman who wore
either a petticoat or 'corsets could
swim or even keep ahoat for more
than few minutes.
AS neither would give way to the
other, they finally resolved to test
the matter practically, and conse-
quently, after making a small wager,
they plunged into the lake. AS they
were dressed in the height Of fashion
their appearance in the water caused
sensation among crowd Of tour
lists who were on the bank, and at
once the cry arose that they intended
to commit suicide. A minute or two
later half dozen boats were on the
way to rescue them, but the ladies
laughingly said that they required no
assistance; and to show that they
were in no danger :hey swan out a
little way and then returned to the
shore. ..s..Ssssss.s .sss9s.s.lS
Thesone who had maintained that a
woman's dress was no encumbrance
in the water then candidly admitted
that She was mistaken, and vowed
that in future whenever she visited

says he reached there just at II O'CLOCK

was carried to the hospital, as quick

the trip with the boy. The woman
was placed on car and carried to
Dr. Nortons Office.
He says by iigufing on the time of

he does not see how they could have

track and the other half on the other.
The wagon debris was carried some
distance up the track by the force of
the blow. The boy had both legs
mashed by the car and the woman
was also cut up by the car. 1t is
not known whether the car hit the
man or not. He is not cut anywhere
and it is thought that his neck was
broken by the fall. He was probably
knocked high in the air.
The motornan claims he rang his
bell before reaching the crossing, and
that he was not running very fast.
Officials of the road say they have a
statement from negro who was OH

effect that the gong was sounded be-
fore the crossing was reached. 1t is
clear, open country about the cross

FATAL FIGHT At LUCKNOW.
white Man and Negro Lose Their
Lives I'm a Carolina Town.

Columbia, S. c., Oct. 9.-Last night
about 8 o'clock a fight occurred at
Lucknow, a town about eight miles
north of Bishopville, in Lee county,
between Harvey Land, a young white
man, and several negroes, and as
result Lang and one negro man named
Ezekiel Aral, died this morning about
daylight.
Harvey Lang, who was clerk in
the store of his brother, Ben Lang,
went to Ezekiel Arabs house to coll
lect Is cents from Arabs daughter.
She denied the account and hot words
were passed between Mr.. Lang and
the negro girl In a short time the
matter was related to Ezekiel and
when the negro met Lang ia j. s. It's
dal's store the row was renewed.
| Ezekiel Aral was then joined by John
Mack, his grandson.
After a quarrel with the negroes,
Lang went across the street to the
store in which he was a clerk and got
| a shotgun. Returning to where the ne
groes were, i'm Mr. TisdaHs store, the
row was continued. Lang, seeing that
he was UP against the crowd, threw
| his gun to his shoulder and fired. The
| load riddled the arm of Aral, which
he had thrown up for protection, and
went into one eye. About this time
John Mack managed to get the gun
from Lang. Aral got a stick and one
of them struck Lang across the head.
In the fight the boy John received a
painful blow over one eye. The fight
was here ended.
Lang walked some distance to a
friends house, who carried him home,
a distance of about mile. DR.. Bull
| lock was called to Aral and gave nedi-
! cal aid. Sheriff Smith was notified this
morning of the row and that the par-
ties were dead. John Mack was arr
| rested.
An inquest was held to-day over the
dead bodies and the jury found that
Ezekiel Aral came to his death by a
| guhshet wound from the hands OF
| Harvey Lang, and that Harvey Lane
was killed by Aral with heavy stick
John Mack was turned loose.
