ties. After the last roll=eall there
were still unaccounted forH eight of
fcers and l1O men. Unfortunately
there is little doubt thatSall these
missing men perished. The sroll-call
was applied only to the crew of the
lena, but as it is believed athat some
IL or Is arsenal hands were engag-
ed on board the battleship at the time
of the explosion; it is feared that the
total number Of dead will reach 100.
In this belief the naval hospital here
was instructed to prepare Imortuary
space for that number:
Ministers of Marine Thomson made
second visit to the Iena,@after the
dry dock had been emptied6of water,
and made careful examination of
every part of the battleshipE that was
accessible. The interior steel plank
ing and the partitions Of the battle
ship shows signs of having been sub
iecte0 to enormous pressure. In
many places they are bulged out OF
indented. The gap in the side of the
vessel acted as q safety valve for
the vast volume Of gas generated by
the burning powder without which
the explosion would have had even
more disasterous results.
Fifty bodies were recovered during
the day, but only IL of them could
be recognized. The remainder were
formless masses of charred flesh.

south of Charlotte, Sunday night a
few minutes before 8 O'Clock. ]. T..
e. KmbMf; an employe ST tie Queen

slayer, he having admitted as much
to: MI. Oscar Hunter; his employer,
and to Sheriff NV: Wallace, who ar
rested lin. While nothing definite is
known as to the trouble which aross
between the two men; Kimball's wifi
is, said to- have figured in It. Whea
placed under arrest shortly after the
homicide, Kimball refused to talk,
saying that,he would keep his mouth
shut until he shad consulted with his
attorneys. About 10 o'clock he was
brought into the city and lodged Ill
the county Jail In the trial which
will follow, the unwritten law will
likely be the plea of the defense.
The killing occurred n.:the "big

hired horse and buggy from Wads-

hours later at point 300 yards on

that he did, for there were mo tracks
to indicate it: Owing!to the fact that
not one of The principals would talk
very little information of a. positive
nature could be learned.
Besides his wife, Kimball has one
child. His mule .and buggy was re-
ported to have been found in the
cotton patch near the scene of the

Prosecutor Clark ears
Same Flowers For Days
HAS BOTTLE WITH HIM
Is Attached To Flowers Be-
meath Coat Lapel
Prosecutor COncieves Little Ideal
That will Prove Valuable to all
Wearers Of Boquets.

Prosecuting Attorney John II. Clark
Is possibly the only man in Marion
who can boast of having at all times
a fresh bouquet OF flowers In his coat
lapel. No matter how hot the wealth
'er, Clark always has bunch of fresh
pansies or sweet peas adorning his
front. He may go to ball game,
which is one of his favoTite past
times, and sit i'm the hot sun the
entire afternoon, but when he returns
to the city the little bouquet Is just
as fresh and pretty as ever
For some time Clarks friends were
of the opinion that he raised scores
of flowers and changed his bouquets
every few hours. The fact is that
Clark wears the same bunch of flow
ers an entire day and frequently sew
eral days The secret of 1t all is
a clever little idea conceived by the
prosecutor himself.
Clark is very fond Of flowers and
declares that he does not feel well
dressed unless he has button-hole
bouquet. The hot weather at first
had such whiting effect on his lit
tie decoration that Clark soon came
to realize it was either matter of
inventing some way 10 keep the flow
ers fresh or not wear them.
He turned inventor. 1t was simple,
so very simple that probably nobody
ever thought of it before.
Clark secured a small one-eighth
ounce bottle and filling 1t with aqua
pura, pinned it beneath the lapel of
his coat and submerged the stems of
the flowers. The bottle is so small
that II is not visible and does not
spoil the neatness of the bouquet.
The prosecuting attorney says that
one bunch of flowers absorbs several
bottles of water daily. He says that
he has secured no patent on his idea,
and It is very probable that in the
future the scheme will be used by
number of the button-hole bouquet
lovers.

LIFE PAYS 20 YEARS DEBT.
Man Commits Suicide to Fulfill Old
Duel Compact.

London.-The Vienna correspondent
of the Express says Samuel Zeisler,
manager Of a large factory at Buda-
pest, has committed suicide because
of an American" duel arranged 20
years ago when Zeisler was serving
in the army. He quarreled with Ser
geant Vilaky, and as the rules forbade
an ordinary duel they agreed to draw
lots to determine which of them
should commit suicide within five
years.
Ieisler drew the black lot but as
the sergeant soon afterwards emf
grated to America, he thought 1t safe
not to fulfill the compact A few days
ago, however, Vilaky met him on the
street in Budapest and he insisted that
he keep his word. Zeisler begged his
enemy to overlook the bargain on the
ground that he was engaged to be
married. He offered Vjlaky his whole
fortune OF $3.50 as ransom, but
Vjlaky said he had made a fortune in
the United States and must see Zeis.
Ter give up his life. not his money. He
added If Zeisler did not kill himself
In 30 days he would shoot him. Zeisler
then committed suicide with a revol.
yer, after writing letters explaining
the circumstances.
The police are searching for Vjlaky,
as the American" duel is a criminal
otfense, punishable by ten years i'm.
prisonment.
