TORE OUT HER LIFE
She Was Using a Rapid
Fire Gun Cartridge
as a Hammer.
(By the Associated Press.)

Detroit, Mich, Dec. 22.-Mrs.
Thomas f. Barnes was killed today
in her home at 203 Pine street by the
explosion of a "one-pounder' rapid
fire gun cartridge which it is sup
posed she was using for q hammer
in the Christmas preparations for her
two baby girls. How the explosion
occurred is not definitely known as
she was alone with the children but
it is said by friends of Mrs. Barnes
that she had used the cartridge for
q hammer at other times. The car
fridge had been in the possession of the
Barnes family for some time and is
said to have been given to Mrs. Barnes
by her brother, William Mayhem, a
gunner i'll the United States navy, and
who is thought to be attached to the
United States torpedo station at New
port News. The woman's right hand
was torn off at the wrist, her left hand
was mutilated. part of the cartridge
penetrated her breast and cut her
heart and lungs and her back was
also cut by parts of the shell.
Mrs. Barnes had left the children
in the kitchen so that they would not
see her preparing for the Christmas
tree which was to De set up in the
archWay between the parlor and sit
ting room. Evidently she had been
re-arranging the curtains of tn arch
way SO that the candles of the tree
would not set the curtains on fire.
Using the cartridge for tack ham
mer she was instantly killed by the
explosion that resulted.
Neighbors found Mrs. Barnes dead
on the floor exactly as the spot Sc
lected for the Christmas tree. Mrs.
Barnes and her husband had lived
here less than a year, coming here
from New York.

FOR THE FEDERAL BUILDING.
Raising Prices for Probable Sites May
Work Against Securing it for
ASheViIle.
Especial to News and Observer

NSptCtCtI " NEWS anu ODSeiNtis
Asheville, n. c., Dec. 22.-Through
the quiet workings of certain Influences
there is good reason to believe that
the present session of Congress will
appropriate before adjournment on
March 4th, a sufficient sum of money
for the erection Of a new Federal
court building in Asheville. It is said
that the necessity for such d flilding
has been thoroughly demonstrated
and that this necessity will he met
and the appropriation passed. 1t was
learned today, however, that there
may be one obstacle to the securing
Of such an appropriation. The ad-
Eancng of the price of sites in some
instances double what the land could
ordinarily be bought for, may have the
effect of causing an adverse report on
the bill and thus eliminate for time
being AShevilles chances of securing
a new government building. If des. r
able sites for the location of the pro-
posed building are offered at rex <ons
able prices, it is declared by those IN q
'csition to be Wen informed, that
there is little doubt that the appro-
priation will be secured.
