struck a tenant house on MIR. ii.
T. Feller's place in No Z Town,

Pinckney, colored man, who
was sitting on the door steps OF
one of the rooms to the house.
There was no rain and very few
clouds were visible al the time.
The house was covered with
metal roofing and il is thought
this, probably, saved the house
from burning. Two other negroes
and a small child of Pinck S
were sitting on the steps with
him. Will Turner, one OF them
was injured in the leg from TIE
shock and had his leg badly
burned. Arthur Stevens, the
other negro man, was also injur-
ed in the same way. The little
girl was knocked under the steps,
but was not hurt. William Car

yard, was knocked down, but not
seriously injured. William Byrd
was in one of the rooms eating
his dinner and was not seriously
hurt. The floor in the room was
torn up and he received quite 6

His Predictions for this
Month--Storms and Hur-

(From the Chicago Record

ST. Louis. ALI August, this
month, three days of which have
been cloudy, chilly and rainy.
irst as he foretold, promises to
be rather stormy, according to
the predictions made by the Rev.
Irl r. Hicks in his almanac
Electrical outbursts are likely to
be severe, and Tor the close of the
month are predicted "counter
equinoctial storms out of the
Northwest, followed by sharp
change TO cooler"
From the 18th to 14th threat
ening conditions will prevail,
when rain, thunder and wind
will touch many localities IN
their eastward sweep. The fore
caster says some divisions will
get heavy downpours, but the
general shortage in rain will not
be relieved. Storm conditions
also will be prevalent on the
17th,to 10Th, when Southern Sec
tions will be subject to equator
ial rain storms, but 1t will te
bluster and thu nder, with only
moderate and scattering rain.
The crisis OF the full moon pc
riod will fell on the 23rd TO the
26th, when severe summer storms
may be expected. a seismic
period is predicted from the 2lst
to Goth, in relation to which the
Rev. Mr.. Hicks says: "Watch
telegraph reports" He adds
that a change to "much cooler
will follow severe electric storms
on and touching the 25th and
26th. Following this date serious
disturbances are predicted fol
Southern regions.
"The probabilities are" says
Mr.. Hicks, "that West India hur-
rIcanes will appear in the seas
south of our coasts during the las
ten days of August, and these
storms are apt to touch the Gul
and South Atlantic coasts abou
the last three days Of the month
Mr.. Hicks qualities the predic
tion by saying the storms may
not appear until September, add
ing: mo harm can result from

DR.. L. e. Emerson Accused OF Alien
ating Affections OF Mrs. Horner.
Baltimore Especially Seeking to
recover 100000 damages from DR..
and Mrs. Isaac E. Emerson, their
son-in-law, T. Mitchell Horner, has
brought suit against them, alleging
that his wife's affections have been
estranged. Papers in the suit were
filed here.
Mr. Horner does not know where
his wife is living at present, and he
has been unable to locate her, in spite.
of persistent efforts. He has written
many letters to her since last May,
addressing them in care of her. pa
rents, but has received no reply of
any character. 1t is said to be his
belief that she is at present abroad,
probably with her sister, Mrs. White,
in London.
Miss Daisy Emerson married Mr..
Horner in Baltimore in 1895, and
almost Immediately thereafter went
to live with him at Atlanta, Ga,
where they have resided almost con-
tinually ever since.
Mr.. Horner was made resident
Southern agent of the Emerson Drug
Company at Atlanta, position
which he held for nearly ten years.
About the time his wife came North
to visit her parents last May he re-
ceived an order from the Emerson
Company closing its Offices in Allan
ia and dismissing him from his posi-
ton. In spite of this, he remained
/ in Atlanta, where he had formed
many business connections, and open
ed an office as a broker. His repeat
ed efforts to communicate with his
wife during the summer having fail
ed, he came to Baltimore and con-
suited his brother, Mr.. Joshua P.
Horner, Jr. Then he decided to be-
gin suit

BLOODHOUND ON TRAIL.
Effort Being Made To Capture The
Assailant Of C. L. Souder.

Rockville Especially. - Hurricane
Branch, of Suffolk, Va, arrived in
Rockville with a bloodhound, and
will make an effort to run down the
negro who shot and robbed Charles
L. Souder, the young Virginia school
teacher, near Redland, this county,
about two months ago, and who is
also wanted for several other crimes.
The man is believed by some to
have been lurking in the vicinity of
Redland ever since young Souder
was attacked Several posses spent
considerable time securing that sec
ton of the county for the desperate,
without, however, locating him. The
negro was supposed to have been
tracked to Frederick County, where
all trace of him was lost.
The citizens of the vicinity of
Olney, however, are of the opinion
that the negro either never left the
county or has returned, and it was
at their Importantly that the coun-
ty commissioners requested Capt.
Branch to bring his man-hunter on.

DENIES FIRING FATAL SHOT.
Warner Accuses Another Colored
Man OF Murder At Avenel.

Rockville Especially Wesley War
ner, the young negro who is in Jail
here charged with the murder of
Bernard Smith, also, colored, it be-
ing alleged that he shot Smith
during a quarrel over a game
of craps near Avenel, this county,
Sunday afternoon, denies emphat-
ically that it was he who fired
the fatal shot. He says that when
the gun was discharged he was ly-
ing on the ground, having been
knocked down by some one, who hit
him with a chair, and declares that
he did not see who did the shooting,
Warner states, however, that his
sister told him that she saw Joseph
Ennis fire the shot, explaining that
he was only about ten feet away
from Smith when the gun was dis
charged. Deputy Sheriff Quinter
went to Avenel for the purpose of
arresting Ennis, against whom a
charge of murder will be preferred.

A Giant Mule.

The high water mark on the price
of the world famous Missouri mule
was set last week. when the largest
mule in the world was sold in East
st. Louis for $500. The enormous
size of the mule was the star attrac-
tion recently at the East St. Louis
charity carnival. The mule is a
native of Culver. Mo. 1t was shipped
to Pittsburg, and upon its arrival
there will take it's place beside hair
less horse. The animals will be
used for exhibition purposes. The
mule weighs 1860 pounds, almost
twice the weight of an ordinary mule,
and stands more than eight feet
high, with his head up. There is
not a blemish ON him, and besides
being the largest, is said by experts
to be the most perfectly formed large
mule in the world.-Kansas City

The Courage OF A Woman.

''Is Marriage Failure?" is sub
ject which men, many of them, have
tackled, but they have never quite
reached the heart of the matter, be-
cause it seemed to involve an arraign-
ment of the fair sex which no mere
man is brave enough go undertake. 1t
remains for woman to point out
the weaknesses of her sex, and Mrs.
Anna A. Rogers, who tries to tell
the world why Marriage Fails" in
the curren Atlantic is evidently
a woman of more than ordinary
courage. Most of the blame for the
failure of marriage Mrs. Rogers puts
on the shoulders of the women. The
steady discomfort with married life
which is rife in the land--in our
land particularly-she attributes to
three causes: ID Woman's failure
to realize that marriage is her work
in the world; GU her growing in
dividualism, and go her lost art of
givin~ Instead, she always wishes
to take.
On the point that marriage is
woman's work in the world, Mrs.
Rogers shows that the workout in
the battle of the world is mans part,
and she thinks that much of the
trouble comes because woman is not
content to do her own duty, which,
if properly performed, is the high
est duty, but must, perforce, come
interfering in mans work and neg
Meeting her own. Under the head
of Her Growing Individualism,"
Mrs. Rogers classes the selfishness of
women, largely fault of her edu-
cation. That education is almost as
good as her brother receives, but "it
is an indiscriminate and undigested
education which deprives us of good
servants and good wives at once"
No nere man would have dared thus
to put servants and wives" in
juxtaposition!
Surely the men are often, far too
often, to blame. But it is good that
there is a sane, courageous woman
who can point out that in the great
work of saving the home-that fun
damental hope of society-there is
great task for the women to set
about.-Washingt Herald.
