Dashed to Death.

During the performance Of Fig :
ing the Flames" at the P4ttsburg E4
position, Miss Janette Lawrence
twenty-five years old, vaudeville
performer, was dashed to her death
from a window, thirty feet above the
stage. The accident was witnessed
by about two hundred spectators
crowded in: a little theatre, but no
panic ensued. The scene in which
Miss Lawrence met her death is where
men are rescuing the iDmates OF a
supposedly burning building. The
women are taken from the windows
and carried to the ground. Miss
Lawrence is said to have jolted John
Herean, the man e1ecting the rescue,
causing her to slip from between his
feet which were wrapped about her
body, while he was clinging to the
life rope with her. Herean was say.
ed from death only by the prompt
action Of other men.

SEVEN HUSBANDS.
Mrs Forrest. Of Patterson. N. J. I'D
mits she Had That Eagy.
But the Police Believe That She has
Married and Deserted at Least
Fourteen Men.

When Mrs. Florence F.rrest, OF II
Hamburg avenue, Patterson, N. j.,
was arraigntd before Justice Abe Cob
en- on the charge Of biyamy preferred
by her husband, James Forrest, Ct 76
Ryle avenue. she admitted that seven
Of her husbands were living although
she could only remember the names OF
four. 1t Is believed that the woman
has twice that number OF husbands,
and her assertions that she does not
remember the names Of those she has
married a.:d deserted is not believed.
Mrs. Ferrest was arrested as she
was preparing to leave Patterson. She
married James Forrest eight months
ago. Neither he nor his wife will tell
the name OF the minister who per
formed the ceremony, nor that OF the
church In which the ceremony TOOK
place. Fe1rest said, however, that
she told him she was unmarried, and
wept with joy when they were niade
man and wife.
The fact that the woman had many
husbands was brought to light in June
last, when she was served with papers
In divorce proceedings by Uader Sner-
if Joseph Bergen. The proceedings
we're instituted by her first husband,
Michael Ca b5enou,a q French Canadian.
She was married to him In 1885 IN
Lsmbertvine, N. J. From the wo-
mans account there resulted from
this union child, that lived for two
years.
Mrs. Ferrest is about forty years
old. She is attractive and does not
look more than thirty. Her maiden
name was Florence Murphy, and hel
father Is James Murphy, OF New Hope
Pa, an uphols.er in the employ OF
the P Pennsylvania Railroad.
Mrs. Forrest was surprised at being
committed to Jail In defsult OF $1,000
bail. TIE woman is apparently sane

BOLD Thieves.

At Long Branch, N. j., profession
al safe crackers wheeled the big mat
vim safe from the Atlantic hotel Wed.
nesday morning and after blowing it
open decamped with its contents,
about $500 IN cash, gold watch and
some jeWelry. The cook at the hotel
was the first to discover the safe in
the rear Of the hotel, about two hun
dred yards away. She called the pro.
prietor, Simon Glaser, and a hurried
investigation was made. The safe
crackers had used table linen and bed
clothes to deaden the noise in wheel
ing the safe. They afterwards used
bed clothing to deaden the report, a
sledge hammer was u;ed to dispose OF
the hinges and combination. After
ward hole vas drilled in the door OF
the safe. MI. Glaser and Chief OF Po-
lice Jas. Layton think that the safe
crackers we're thoroughly acquainted
with the premises, as they not only
removed the big safe without awak-
ening the guests, but succeeded in
getting past the night watchman.

a strange portent that her boy had
been killed OF a train for she had
dreamed Of the tragedy coincidenta!ly
with her husband, but the details OF
the dreams had been different. She
had dreamed that he had fallen from
a train and that bis leg had been
crushed, and that be had 6ied while

mum OF 50 degrees at BlackVille and
Florence on September 1st and End,
and a minimum OF so degrees at
Greenville on August 2sth and 30th.
The week was generally clear with
increasing cloudiness during the last
two days. The relative humidity
was uniformly low.
Over the greater portion OF the
State there was GO rain during the

coming dry and the need OF moisture
is Indicated, especially in the coast
truck districts; showers were general,
though mostly light, over the western
half OF the state beginning on the
night OF the 1st and continuing to
the close; there were also rains in the
eastern tier CT counties with occasion
al heavy showers.
On the whole, the weather was IA
vorable Tor general farm work, espe.
cially for haying and saving fodder
and tor picking cotton. In localities
where the soil has bsen too wet here.
tofore, it dried sufficiently to permit
gardening and plowing. Some oats
have been sown in the central
localities.
Cotton continues to deteriorate on
sandy lands owing to rust and exces-
sjve shedding, so that practically the
plants have CEASED to grow or fruit,
and nearly all the top crop has drop

are better, but rust has appeared IN
places, On sandy lands cotton open.
ed rapidly, and picking made rapid
progress over the eastern aid central
counties and will be general over the
western ones during the coming week.
On clay lands it is just beginning to
open freely. Caterpillars continue
numerous on ea.island cotton.
Tobacco curing is finished. Rice
harvest is underway ard some has
been threshed. Peas and sweet pota-
toes are doing well. Pastures con-
tinue good. Strawberry plants being
set out. Fall truck being planted ex-
tersiVely in the coast districts, but
the soil is too dry for favorable
termination.

fifteen small police stations and two
large ones were destroyed. After mid
night another attempt was made
against The Kokumln Shimbun offices,

that two are dead and 500 wounded,

Two herds of cattle of Cameron

pectively are infected with black leg
and impaction of the stomach, the
young cattle chiefly being affected.
DR.. Geo. Weighton of Audubon and
Deputy State Veterinarian Miller of
! Harlan held council and came to the
I conclusion the cause was the feeding
of separated milk. If farmers would
skim off the foam from the separated
milk before feeding it to the calves we
would hear less about impaction of
the stomach in calves. The foam
causes bloat, which gets the system
out of order, finally impaction. Try
it friends and be convinced.
