Laurens, May29 sensational
shooting affair yoccnrred today / at
Goldyils, when John Anderson at
kelese anEe fired three times upon
Ibis erstwhile .sister:in.law and for
mer sweetheart, Mrs. Will Summers,
and y is singular that she escaped
SO lightly, as one bail passed ,llrongh
her brooch of hair and tho otksr
two through her clothing.
Mrs. Summers was Mrs. Ander-
son until last Sunday, when she
married Will Summers. John An
derson had been an unsuccessful
suitor for her hand. All parties
are mill operatives and board at the
same place.
Today, just after dinr er, accord
ing to reports telephoned here, An
derson asked Mrs. Summers to 90
on the piazza for a moment. Upon
reaching the piazza, Anderson de-
clared to Mrs. Summers that he had
rather see her dead than wife of
another, and drew his pistol and
shot at her three times in rapid
succession. The woman collapsed
and at first it was thought she had
been fatally shot.
Anderson made off immediately
but was captured at one of the Clin-
ton mills a few hours later. AS
soon as the shooting occurred, Su-
perintendent Wright of Goldville
mill offered reward for Anderson's s
arrest. The State.

Judge Purdy.

Judge Purdy, who presides over
the June term of court here has vol
UNFAIRLY resigned the judgeship, the
resignation to take effect in Septem-
Der. His successor will be Solicitor
Jno. S. Wilson, of Manning.
Judge Purdy rs a man who has
shown himself to be held in the
highest esteem by all good citizens
and one that the la@less greatly fear
ed. One hour spent in the court
room where he was presiding was
sufficient to prove the above asser
tions. He makes one feel that he
is trying to do his duty, his whole
duty without regard to consequences.
There is distinct loss to the cause
OF righteousness in the retirement of
Judge Purdy, the fearless, conscien-
tious and stainless gentleman.

SALE OF CARRIAGE co.

Purchasers have been secured for the plant, assets and business of the Sea- brook & Smith Carriage company of 12s Park street, which last February was placed in the hands of Edward NJ. Armstrong. receiver. Although the names of the purchasers are as vet withheld, it is assured that the busl- ness will be continued, extended, and that New Haven will not lose this old business concern which was establish ed forty years ago. Judge Gager, sit ting in the superior court, after a short hearing yesterday, granted MT. Armstrong permission to accept the of fer of purchase of the assets and busi- ness of the corporation.
 Mr. Armstrong has had charge as receiver since last February, when ap- plication for the appointment of tenn porary receiver in behalf of the com pany was made by Attorney Bernard Lynch, in accord with vote of the stockholders.
 The business declined with the fall- ing off in the use of light carriages in which this company specialized. It is the plan of the purchasers to take up the building of heavy carriages and to build automobile bodies. The hearing was called and the decision of Judge Gager granted after a unanimous vote in favor of such move passed by the creditors.
