Dora Thorne.

Dora Th0rne.
The Beach and Bowers Dra-
matte Stock company, which
opens here for three nights Mon
day, Novem Der 5, at the Opera
house, will present a most elabor.
ate production of the actually
original dramatjzation of Bertha
M. Clay's world famous novel,
"Dora Thorne." The story of
this play alone is highly dra-
matte, intensely emotional and
replete not only with thrilling
dramatic scenes and situations,
but furnishes in it's text fine
oppor tunity for the Introduction
of some really refined but none
the less laughable comedy. The
story of 'Dora Thorne," the poor
simple country girl, daughter of
a gamekeeper on the estate of an
English nobleman, is the sad
story of many a similar girl in a
similar station of life. She is
ardent]y wooed and ultimately
won by Ronald Earl, the son of
an English aristocrat, who owns
the immense estate on which the
girl was born and on which her
father, Richard Thorne, worked
in the humble capacity of game
keeper. ,.:s-.si

love match. But love, as usual,
found the way and the young
couple were married. After the
marriage former but discarded
sweetheart of Ronald's, the
beautiful and wealthy heiress,
Valentine Charteris, appears on
the scene and out of spite and
villainy conspires with the villain,
Richard Holt, a rejat ted suitor
of Dora's, to separate the young
couple. This affords an intensely
strong scene, in which Holt and
Earl quarrel, and the former
tries to stab his hated and sue
cessful rival. Later, in the third
iact, Miss Charters arranges for
a meeting, at which she faints in
Earl's arms, just as his wife
Dora enters. Holt the villain,

wife apparent truth of her hus.

Some years later Ronald
suffers a severe illness from
which he barely escapes with his
reason, and later begins a long
and wearisome journey of the
world in search of his missing
wife whose innocence he has
established and whom he has
found out to be the innocent and
unfortunate victim of the wicked
woman and her villainous accom-
! plice. After many weary
months he finally finds his wife

The Ohio River on Fire.

Pittsburg, La, April 3.-The Ohio
river, at Sewickley, fifteen miles be-
low this city, is on fire and all efforts
to extinguish the flames have been un-
successful. Thousands Of people from
F F'lMttsbarg visited the river baak to-
day and watched what appeared to be
a startling phenomena.
From almost the middle Of the
stream covering an area as large as a
city block, flames issue from the water
and shoot up. All traffic on the river
has been abandoned.
The fire is not as strange as 1t
seems. The flames are fed by break
in the twelve-inch main Of the Manu-
facturers' Gas and Light company,
which crosses under the river. Yes
terday tow boat was passing and a
deckhand threw burning match into
the stream. A great tongue Of flame
burst forth, and if they had not been
moving fast it would have been set
afre. The man who threw the match
had all his clothing burned off. The
gas will have to be shut off to ex-
tinguish the flames.

New County of "Fairview.'

Messrs. A. S. Peden and j. E. De-
bard Of Fountain Inn on April 9TH,
filed with Governor Hayward the pc
tition. for the creation, Of the new
county of "Fairview." This propos-
ed territory will include parts Of
Greenville and Laurens and a little
of Spartanburg.
Saluda river will be the southern
boundary and Enoree river the north
ern boundary if the election is carried
in behalf of the new county. The
north and northwestern boundary will
be line running parallel to the line
between Greenville and Laurens coun-
ties, near the town Of Simpsonville.
Some of the best territory Of the state
would be embodied in this parallelo-
gram.
The petition for election is signed
by the required number Of property
holders in each of the parts of the
old counties affected.
From Greenville it is proposed to
take 22O square miles; from Laurens
159 square miles, and from Spartan
burg "a 81, making total OF 4G3 3-4
square miles. There would be 23,742
inhabitants in this territory and $2,-
314,126 worth of property. The only
railroad property would be Columbia,
! Newberry and Laurens extension to
Greenville.
The petition declares that all con-
stitutional requirements have been
met, but it is not stated IN the way Of
an affidavit. Governor Hayward sta
ted to Messrs. Peden and Debard that
he could not name the commissioners
Of election until all Of these facts as
to population and taxes should be
. submitted in affidavit from the audi
tors Of the respective counties.

promised to give the postoffice at
Chester an additional clerk to expe-
dite the handling Of the great bulk
Of mail matter now going through
that office.
Mr.. Finley learned that the receipts
Of the office at Camden up to March
81 have been sufficiently large to ad-
vance this office to the second class.
The new classification will take ef-
feet at the commencement Of the next
fiscal year, on July next. This ad-
vance will, Of course, entitle the
Camden office to additional clerks
and will warrant an increase in sal
ary of the postmaster.
Taking the present rate Of increase
as an indication, Gaffney will be the
next town in the fifth district to ad-
vance to the rank Of a second class
office.
From the present outlook York and
Lancaster should enter the second
class in two or three years.
Representative Lever also called at
the postofice department today in re-
gard to mail facilities at Goodwill,
Sumter County.
Postmaster E. W. Dabbs, of this
office, was recently elected to the state
Legislature, and since that time his
wife has been serving as postmaster.
Mr.. Lever requested the department
to continue this office until he can get
a rural delivery route in that section.
He succeeded in having the necessity
for a petition waived. This will re-
suit in making the case special one,
and it will be put in the hands of an
agent at once, who will investigate
this territory as soon as possible.

BRIDE OF Is
ASKS DIVORCE
HUSBAND QUIT HER AND THE
BABIES
He Preferred Moving and Accused
Her Of Acting Too Much Like
child-TestIfIes She Walked
Through Snow for Aid

"ff you called your husband pet
names as required in all well regulated
households, cooked three meals a day
I'm order that he might partake susie
nance therefrom and then In return he
gave you but thirty small and elusive
centimes per every three months and
repeatedly deserted you, taking money
from the baby's bank upon which to
make his departure; wouldn't It make
you mad?
Such was the gist Of the testimony
given by Mrs. Goldie Chambers In her
suit for divorce from Melvin Chambers
yesterday, and after Judge Trask had
heard the testimony, he readily agreed
with the plea of the woman and
granted her an interlocutory decree of
divorce.
The couple were married in War
saw, Ind, September 10, 1896. The
bride was thirteen years of age and
the groom about seven years her
senior.
According to the assertions OF Mrs.
Chambers on the witness stand yes
terday, her husband was of a rowing
disposition and although he could make
a good living at lathing or Singing he
preferred to move rather than pay
rent.
He was alleged to have told his wife
lie did not like her because she acted
like child and to have deserted her
while living in the jungles Of Michigan,
about fourteen miles from the nearest
neighbor, several years ago. Chambers
was alleged to have deserted his wife
and baby and disappeared, while the
young mother was compelled to walk
through the snow for assistance.
1t was further testified that Cham
hers spent most of his time gossiping
over the back fence with the neigh
bors and the neighbors' servants and
talking neighborhood politics and petty
scandals, when he should have been
putting in the ribs of some abitious
cottage.
On the 26th day of last July, Cham
bers is alleged to have made his last
disappearance. Mrs. Chambers testi-
fled yesterday that she did not miss
her husband so much because he
usually supplied the family with about
thirty cents every quarter with which
to lay in new stock of clothing. eat
ables, furniture, wood and coal and
other necessaries of life.
But according to the statements of
the woman, Chambers collected all the
money in the house including quite a
neat little sum in nickels, dimes and
pennies, which he was charged with
having foraged from the baby's saw
ings bank, before his departure.
The decree was granted on the ground
of failure to provide.

LUNAR ECLIPSE
MUCH OBSCURED
CLOUD BANKS DISAPP0INT
THE OBSERVERS
Moving Wraeks Lift Long Enough to
Afford Good View of Moon Over
Los Angeles During Time
Of Phenomena

Black clouds spread over the sky
disappointed the thousands OF An
gelenos who watched the face OF the
heavens to see the predicted eclipse
of the moon.
Full and round the queen of night
arose I'm the early evening, and UP To
an hour before the scheduled eclipse
the fates seemed favorable for clear
sky.
The weather department however,
was unrelenting, and clouds of inky
blackness ruined the view.
Shortly before midnight last night
the obstructing cloud wracks cleared
away, and the eclipse could be plainly
seen. The small ring of light sur
rounding territory of darkness told
the story of the earth intervening be-
tween the sum and the moon, throwing
o shadow on the latter body.
The lunar eclipse, which occasioned
the attention of automatically in
clined persons, was caused by the in
terpositlon of the earth between the
sun and the moon and the moons con-
seuuent immersion in the shadow OF
the earth.
AS Astronomer Explains 1t
This can occur only when the moon
is in opposition to the sun on the
heavens or at the time of full moon
moons nodes, or the point where her
orbit crosses the plane of the ecliptic
According to astronomers, If we lei
the sun, moon and earth be regarded
as spherical bodies and their centers
ranged in right line, then the sun
will project beyond the earth a conf
cal shadow called the umbra, In
which the moon is centrally immersed
The surface of this cone will be best
described by a line tangent to the
same side of both sun and earth and
moving about the line joining thei1
centers. The apex of the shadow cone
or of the umbra, is on the average
about $4,000 miles beyond the earth's
center, and the diameter of the um-
bral cone at the point where the moon
crosses it is on the average about two
and two-thirds the diameter of the
moon, with variation from scarcely
twice to more than three times the
lunar diameter.
Offers Interesting Sight
The lunar eclipses may be either par
tial or total, as the one last evening
was according as the moon is i'm
mersed either partly or entirely in the
earth's shadow.
The phenomena of the total lunar
eclipse were of a simple character. The
immersion of the moon in the penum-
bra could be observed only with diff
ficulty. The edge of the shadow itself
presented hazy outline when seer
through a telescope, and the times OF
contact could not be observed with
accuracy.
When completely within the earth's
shadow the moon was still plainly Wis
ible in a dull copper-colored illumina-
tion which was produced by the sun
light shining through the earth's at
w., ,Ilf-xN. &c
higher tints and experiencing detection
into the shadow cone through refrac-
ton.
The most interesting physical obser-
vations effected during it's eclipse con-
cerned the light and heat radiations Of
the moon.
The moon entered the shadow of the
penumbra last evening at s.: 45 o'clock
the dark shadow at 1857 and was to-
tally eclipsed at 10:5S The moon left
the shadow at 1886 and was totally out
from under the eclipse at 1877 a. m.
