Eads and Fashions.

Special Correspondence to Bulletin.
New York, April 9.-The arrange
ment OF sashes and scaffs in Oriental
/ fashion is getting TO be a popular
finish on thin dresses. There are
numerous ways of draping them but
many of them are too extreme to be
generally accepted, although they are
graceful and picturesque. One very
pretty arrangement for a scarf of
supple satin or silk mouseline, is
wound around the waist in girdle
fashion. fastened in the back and
then brought to the front where it is
apparently tied with carelessness. yet
producing an artistic effect The ends
fall to the bottom of the skirt and
are weighted with fringe or en-
broidery. Wide ribbons are used
very effectively and are less extreme
in development. They are drawn
round the waist, the ends knotted
once in front rather low, and finished
with weighted sash ends.
The mushroom haI mas proved so
becoming, that it will doubtless re-
main popular style through the sea
son. The brims turn down all the
way around, but are a trifie wider
than before. Some are wider on one
side than on the other, and others
rome very litel broader in back
than In front but the exaggerated
shapes are not much worn. Usually
the crowns are completely covered
With flowers or on some straWs
fringed silk OF soft piumes are used,
Although the toque is not favored by
the French milliner for general wear,
still they are shown in the fashion
able houses I'm great numbers. They
are made Of fancy straw and trimmed
with silk. velvet and soft dropping
pIumes, according to the shape OF the
toque. The sole trimming on some is
velvet and big handsome buckle.

PLENTIFUL.

The peach crop has escaped and
the trees are full and the outlook is
great for one of the heaviest crops
for many years. Cherries are consid-

be more than a half crop. Apples are
not hurt and neither are pears to any
great extent. The danger is over.
After the 18th of April there is hardly
ever any damage done to fruit by
frost, in fact the Oldest citizens Of

there was any fruit killed after that

NEW YORK, April 17.-Mrs. Frank

wife of Jay Gould's youngest son. has
begun in the supreme court an action
against her husband for separation on
the grounds of cruelty and neglect.
Papers in the case We're served on Mr.
Gould in the Hotel Plaza on Wednes-

Mr.. Gould has fled no counter suit,
and so far as can be learned he does
not contemplate an action. save in the
nature of vigorous defense.
The nature of the cruelty and neg
.lect charges against Mr.. Gould has not
yet been made public, filing of the
papers in the court having been de-
layed, but in a general way it is
learned that the husbands extreme
jealousy is at the bottom of the diff

MURDE IN
ZION COUNTRY
soDV or ROBERT WEBSTER. COL
CRED, FOUND ~ PHos.
PEATE RCLE.
He WAS MURDERED YEEK AGO
coroner's Jury investigating Case.
Trail Of Blood Leads To Scene
Of Tragedy.

The body Of Robert Webster. a hand
on the farm Of Dave Fleming in the
Zion neighborhood. was found in
phosphate hole Monday morning on the
farm Of John F. Stephenson, after a
search all day Saturday and Sunday.
The negro had a wound over the right
eye, which the coroner and the ex-
aiming physician pronounced as the
effects of a discharge from shotgun.
Webster had been working for Mr..
Fleming number of years, and the
evening Of Monday, April 18th, Mr..
Fleming called the negro to him and
told him he was going fishing the next
morning and wanted him to feed and
look after things generally around the
place while he was gone and gave
him the keys to the barns. Friday ev-
ening Mr.. Fleming returned home and
upon inquiring as to how things had
been going, was told by his wife that
the Webster negro had not been on
the place since he left Mr.. Webster
began investigation Immediately, and
il occurring to him that he had in the
morning of Tuesday the 14th noticed
large pool f blood in the center Of
the road near Walkers gate on Zion
road as he was leaving on his fishing
trip. So this trail was taken up and
followed to the farm of Mr.. D. F. Full
ton where it was lost.
Search was made in all the sink
holes and the negros cabin was
broken into, but there was no evidence
as to his whereabouts. 1t was then
suggested that the phosphate holes
be searched A few minutes after
this process was taken up, the body
was found in one of the holes about
20 feet deep. It had been partially
covered up.
At the inquest held Monday morn
ing Beckie Williams, negro
woman who lives at Ashwood,
was placed on the stand and asked
several questions 1t developed that
Webster was last seen at her house
about eleven O'Clock Monday night
and that she did not know where he
went from there Two negro men
were put on the stand, but nothing
was learned from them.
The Webster negro and one or two
other negroes had been visiting this
woman and it is believed by the off,
GERS that there. was a plot among them
TO kill him. The woman has been
cooking for Mr.. D. F. Fulton and she
went away Sunday morning as was
her usual custom, but failed to show
up this morning The officers when
told of this matter, suspected that the
woman knew something Of the killing,
and they still think she knows more
than she has told No arrests have
yet been made. Deputy Sheriff Goad
went to the scene of the killing as soon
as it was announced and is now work
ing on the case.
The Webster negro was about thir-
ty-two years cid and was considered
one of the best negroes in the county
and always attended to his own bus
mess. This is the first murder that
ever occurred in the Zion neighbor-
hood according to the statements
made by the oldest inhabitants of that
section of the county.
