Calls Marriage BigamOus.

London, June 17.-As an outcome
of the alleged marriage of Reginald
Gray Coke, son Of the Hon. Henry
and Lady Katherine Coke, and ne
phew of the Earl of Leicester, to
Gala, sister of Mark Hamburg, the
pianist, in America last January, Mrs.
Reginald Gray Coke to-day secured
decree of divorce on the ground
Of bigamy and adultery.
The documents produced in evil
dence showed that Reginald Coke OBJ
tanned a divorce in Nebraska on the
ground of desertion on the part of
his wife. Sir John G. Barnes, in
granting the decree, said that Regi-
nald Coke's marriage to Miss Ham,
bourg was clearly bfgamous and he
sincerely wished that something
could be done in America to prevent
this sort of thing.

THREE ITALIANS KILLED.
Wine Merchant Meets His Extortion-
ers With Bullets.

- . .A-.N- n = = =
New Orleans, La, June 17.--Fol-
lowing series OF crimes attributed
to so-called t"Black Hand" societies
In the Italian quarter OF New Or
leans, one of the worst tragedies yet
connected with that section took
place early to-day, when three Ital-
iaDs were shot to their death.
According to the police these men
were killed as a result of an attempt
to extort money from Pietro Gioa-
coma, wealthy Italian wine mer-
chant. Gioacona and his son told the
police that these men had frequently
bought wine from them by the barrel
and had Invariably refused to pay for
It. According to their story the
three men forced them 20 ship a bar
rel of wine to a point in Louisiana
yesterday, and returned early to-day
and ordered them to prepare meal.
The elder Gioacona suspected that
trouble would ensue and hid re-
peating rifle near the table. When
one OF the visiting Italians drew
heavy revolver and ordered them to
produce money and other valuables
the elder Gioacona answered with
shot from the rifle. The man he
fired at fell dead and the two others
attempted to escape. One was killed
before he got ten feet from the table.
The other reached staircase, only
to receive bullet In his brain as he
started down the steps, his body fall
ing into the court yard below.
Only one of the Italians who was
killed has been identified. He Is
known to the police by the name of

AIKEN HAS MADE GOOD.
Congressman From Third District
Did the Work All Right.
(Anderson Mail.)s

Some weeks ago a gentleman from
Newberry was in Washington at the
time the house committee on public
buildings was holding public hear
ings, and he complained nightly be-
! cause Congressman Aiken did not
make an engagement for him to 20
before the committee and make a
speech urging an appropriation for a
post Office for Newberry.
Mr.. Aiken said he had no objection
to the gentleman making the speech,
but that 1t could do no pos s!ble good,
and would be an unnecessary waste of
the comn,lttee's time. Mr.. Aiken as
sured the gentleman that everything
that could be done to secure the ap-
preparation was being done
| Mr.. Aiken's Judgment has been
vindicated. The public buildings bill
has just passed the house, and it con-
tains an item for $4,000 for q post
oftice building for Newberry. And 1t
seems to us that this is smightyliberal,
for Newberry is not near as big
town nor as important as Anderson
was when she got her first appropria-
ton Of $4,000 for postoffice build
ing.
Mr.. Aiken was right in the course
he pursued. Public committee hear
ings seldom do any good and often
they do harm. Certainly they can
do no good in the matter of an ap-
preparation for postofhce building.
The committee has on file all the fig-
ures showing the amount of business
done at each postoffice in the United
States, and nothing that anybody
could say would be more convincing
than these figures. A iong-winded
speech from dull speaker might de-
feat an appropriation, while a little
judicious work at the right time by
the right sort of a Congressman
might land an appropriation in a
doubtful case. We have an idea that
the Newberry appropriation was Sc
cured in this manner more than any
other.
| Mr.. Aiken has made good in this
matter, and he is to be congratu-
| lated.
And when you come to think about
1T he has made nightly good Con-
| gressman. He Is now serving his
third term, and during that time he
has secured appropriations for four
public buildings in his district-for
Anderson, Greenwood, Abbeville and
Newberry, and has just secured an
increase for Anderson. What better
record could he have made? Can
any other Southern Congressman
show such a record?

Attempt to Rob Street Car.

New Orlans, June 17.-Three men
attempted to hold up and rob street
car on the outskirts of the city yes
terday. AS result Henry Odell, one
of the bandits, is at the hospital with
bullet wound in the thigh and
Earnest REVERE, the motorman, is
suffering from a similar injury at
his home.
Odell says he was persuaded to
attempt the holdup by the other two
men. The three bandits boarded the
car and after riding short dist
ance leveled revolvers at the con-
ductor and demanded ali the money
he had. The conductor sought ref
uge with the motorman, who grap-
pied with Odell. In the fight be-
tween the motorman and Odell the
latters revolver was discharged
twice and each of the men received
slight wound. The other two ban
dts made their escape.

TOOK Down ooFEDEKATE FLAG.
q. A. II. Officer Hauls Down Stars
and Bars that Hung too High.

Z
A dispatch from Osinning, New
York, says: A Confederate flag fly-
ing in the printing office of VIM. j.
down to-day by Commander Summer
A. Smith, of Morrell Post, of the
Grand Army. Physioc was cited to
appear before the post tonight and
explain his action in hoisting the
flag so that 1t overlapped the Ameri-
can flag, also flying from poles on
the roof. Osinning is In gala attire
because of a convention of farmers
and Physioc decorated his building
III honor of the convention. He de-
clared the flag belonged to his ia
ther, Virginian, who fought during
the civil war, and that he hoisted it
intending no .disrespeot 70 the Stars
and Stripes, but to add to the beauty
of the decorations. Physioc,' 1t Is
said, was a member of the Rough
Riders Regiment during the war
with Spain. He was not at his office
when Commander Smith appeared
there to demand that the flag be
lowered, and in his absence Smith
hauled It down and carrie 1t away.
Morrell Post met tonight and ad-
opted a resolution sustaining Smiths
action and deciding to keep the flag
as trophy. Major Physioc and his
father, Major Physioc, of the Con-
federate army, were present and told
the veterans the flag was displayed
as decoration. The explanation
was accepted and the Physiocs were
given a reception by the post.

Daring "Blind Tiger" Caught.

Bennettsville, Jane 1S.-One of
the most daring blind tigers" that
Marlboro has known seems to be
Cary Thomas, colored. All custom
ers look alike to him, and he had no
objection to taking the price from
the night policeman Saturday even
ing. The chief of police sent the
night policeman to Thomas to buy a
quart Of whiskey, and then from
short distance watched the proceed
ings. Thomas delivered the goods
In the bright moonlight to the off,
Ger and when arrested had another
quart on his person.
Mayor Breeden called the case
yesterday morning and upon plea
of guilty on the part of Thomas i'm
posed sentence of $50 fine or 30
days. Thomas took the days. He
will probably get more from the
State when those are properly used.

Eclipse Of Sun on Sunday, Junu 28th

There will be an annular eclipse
of the sun on June 28th. About two
thirds to three-fourths of the sun will
be obscured in this latitude at about
8 o'clock a. m. The eclipse will be
annular in Southern Florida. An an
ular eclipse Is where the moon does
not wholly cover the sun, but leaves
g. ring of light (Latin "annulus'D
around the moon. This Is because
the moon at the time is so far away
from the earth that 1t Is to the eye
smaller than the sun. A total eclipse
of the sun occurs when the moon is
so near the earth as to seem larger
than the sun, and consequently COM
pletely covers 1t. An annular eclipse
Is nearly or quite valueless for scien-
tific observation.
