Kentucky Governor Has Narrow Es
cape.


Frankfort, KY, March 14.-Gov.
and Mrs. Wilson and their guests,
Mr.. and Mrs. Robert M. Lyman, of
New York, narrowly escaped death
to-day, when the horses attached to
Gov. Wilson's carriage ran away.
Mrs. Wilson was rendered uncon-
scious, two of her front teeth were
broken and her left wrist was frac-
tured. Gov. Wilson was bruised
about the body and Mr.. Lyman's face
was cut. Mrs. Lyman was not in
jured.
Gov. Wilson was driving the
horses and Mrs. Lyman was seated
beside him, while Mr.. Lyman and
Mrs. Wilson occupied the back seat.
One of the horses became frightened
at a street car and kicked over the
pole of the carriage, breaking the
whifletree Gov. Wilson managed
to guide the horses until the pole
was broken off short and then the
carriage skidded from one side of
the street to the other until the
horses, now frenzied, dashed to-
wards the sidewalk and the heavy
vehicle turned turtle. The horses,
being entirely freed Of the carriage,
dashed up the street. The governor
called for help and passers-by lifted
the carriage and freed it's occupants.
Mrs. Wilson was unconscious,
and it was at first thought she was
dead, but she later recovered con-
sciousness and her physicians state
that her internal injuries are not
considered dangerous.

GUILTY OF MANSLAUGHTER
NORTH CAROLINIAN CONVICTED
IN NEW YORK COURT.
Shot Harry Suydam in Latter's Of-
flee, Where Inventor Had Gone
to Collect Debt.

New York, March 10.-John G.
Lumsden, the young North Carolina
inventor, on trial tor the murder of
Harry Suydam, curb broker, in the
latter's Office, last December, was
convicted tonight Of manslaughter
in the first degree.
Several well known North Caro-
linians, among them Mayor James T.
johnson, Of Raleigh, testified in the
supreme court here to-day in behalf
of Lumsden. After all these wit
nesses had testified to Lumsden's s
good character the defense rested its
case.
William Henry Bagley, brother
of Ensign Worth Bagley, and mem
Der of the staff of the governor of
North Carolina, testified to the de-
fendant's excellent reputation, as
did Edward G. Powell, a musician
of this city, who had known Lums-
den several years ago in Birmlng-
ham, Ala.
Brig. Gen. Jos. F. Armfield, who
commanded the First North Caro-
lima mounted infantry, in which
Lumsden served in the Spanish
American war, and Col. q. P. Smith,
of Raleigh, who was first lieutenant
of Lumsden's company, were other
character witnesses for the defense.
On cross-examination both stated
that they had never heard Of Lums-
den being courtmartialed during the
war.
Mayor Johnson, of Raleigh, told
the prosecutor he believed a man
could carry a revolver and still keep
reputation for peace and quiet.
Witnesses in rebuttal were called
by the prosecution, after the defense
had closed it's case.
The rebuttal testimony was brief.
Former Governor Charles B. Aycock,
of North Carolina, summed up for
the defense and declared that the
evidence showed the killing of Suy-
dam was accidental, occurring in the
struggle for Lumsden's revolver be-
fore the latter had taken it from his
pocket.

Ashley Gives Bond.

Anderson, March 13.-"Citizen"
Joshua W., Ashley, member of the
house of representatives from An
derson county, came to this city to-
day from his home near Honea
Path and gave bond in the amount
of $1,000 for his appearance before
the United States circuit court at
Charleston on March 16 to answer
to the charge of peonage. The war
rant was served on Mr.. Ashley by
United States Deputy Marshal w.
M. Scott and the bond was filed be-
fore United States Commissioner S.
M. Wolfe, the bondsmen being
County Treasurer Jas. NJ. Payne and
Judge J. S. Fowler, both of this city.
The indictment against Mr.. Ash
ley was found by the grand jury at
the January term of the United
States circuit court in session at Co.
lumbia, while the legislature was in
session, and contained between 16
and 18 counts. Mr.. Ashley, it will
be remembered, offered to furnish
bond to any amount necessary for
his appearance in court, but there
was no disposition on the part of the
federal officers to Interfere with
Mr.. Ashley's duties as legislator,
and the bond was not given until to-
day. 1t is expected that the ap-
preaching session of federal court in
Charleston will not hear this case and
that it will be pos; coned to some
later date, probably until the next
session is held in Greenville.
The question of the federal gov
ernment arresting State legislator
caused some interest in this State
when the indictments against Mr..
Ashley were returned. According to
a recent decision of the United
States supreme court, in the case of
the United States VS.. Williamson, a
Western congressman, a decision
was handed down that member of
State or national law-making body
can be arrested while the body is in
session on any criminal action, but
in the case of Mr.. Ashley there was
no conflict, it being arranged that he
appear here to-day and give the nee
essary bond for his appearance at
court.

SHOCKING TRAGEDY.
Frank Shuler, a Farmer, Killed by
His Wife.

Elloree, March 12.-The news of
another shocking tragedy reached
here last night and it seems that
this community is suffering from an
epidemic of tragedies. Just one
week ago James H. Till, stalwart,
handsome young man, died as the
result of carbolic acid poison, admin
istered by his own hand. To-day
Frank Shuler, a farmer, residing
four miles east of here, was mortally
wounded as the result of a gunshot
wound at the hands of his wife. The
tragedy occurred at the home of the
couple last night about o'clock and
there were no witnesses, except the
four small children of the Shulers.
1T appears that the husband was
seated by the fire in the parlor of
their little home when his attention
was attracted by the screams of one
Of the children, whom the mother
was chastising. He demonstrated
with the mother, telling her to cease
whipping the child, and back came
the hot reply: Il will whip you"
whereupon the husband advanced
upon his wife with a fire poker in his
hand and she ran out of the room
where she was whipping the child
into an adjoining room, procured a
.32-calibre pistol and fired upon her
husband, the ball entering just below
the heart, passing through the lungs
and lodging in the back. Passersby
were attracted by the discharge Of
the weapon and assisted in removing
the wounded man to his room and
summoning medical aid.
Internal hemorrhage set in and
Shuler died at $40. The relation
existing beween the husband and
wife has been for some time the
source of comment, neither bearing
an enviable reputation, and the
tragedy is the outcome of continued
ill-feeling between the two.

The Antiquity Of Dice.

a 1AOhA AAoA - E
S"hoiars have delved In vain for the
origin of dice. which. In various shapes,
have been used in forms OF worship
and religious ceremonies since the dawn
OF history. Their earlier use was for
the ~forecasting Of events ana obtaining
Of divine guidance; their adaptation TO
q game of chance was, comparatively.
quite recent.
There is a surprising number OF varie-
ties Of dice, but they may be divided
into two general classes. The most
familiar form Is the cube. with two
exceptions-the Korean and Etrusean-
cubical dice have the spots SO arranged
that the six n one, Ave and two. and
three and four are opposite, making
the sum Of h opposite sides invariably
seven. In all ages the number seven
has been regarded with particular awe
and as having much mystic import.
The dice just described are not only
proper to modern Europe and America.
but to classical Greece and Rome, an
Client Syria, Persia. India, China, Japan.
Siam. The other form Is the long
square prism sometimes found amid
prehistoric ruins In Europe and exist
ing today In India.
A most interesting form Is the typ or
spinning dice with four OF DIX fdes,
which was twirled with the thumb and
second finger. of which a specimen was
discovered in the remains of Naucratis,
"a Greek colony Of 600 b. c. Two speci-
mems of dice have been discovered NJ

1t seemed to her to die for the cause,
for the faith, to die for Ireland.
True her country, her, Ireland, was
but this little corner OF Kerry beaten
by the Atlantic storms and sad with
the wailing cries of seagulls. But II
she knew no more Of Ireland than this,
she had read her story; and naught
is more true than that the land the
most downtrodden Is also the best be-
loved. Wrongs beget a passion of af-
lection, and from oppression springs
sacrifice. This daughter of the wide
swept shore, OF the misty hills and
fairy glens, whose life from infancy
had been bare n rugged n solitary,
and become, for that reason, a dreamer
of dreams and a ~worshipper OF the
ideal Ireland, her country. her faith.
The salt breeze that dashed her cheeks
and tore at her hair, the peat creek
and the soft shadows of the bogland
-ay. and many an hour of lonely COM
muning-had filled her breast with
such care as impels rather to suffering
and to sacrifice than to enjoyment.

lence. But that had passed; now her

to the Gazette from Helena, Ark, says:
Because of q breakdown In the engine

| Ones embarked, however, on the
terprise, vanity swept him onward. The
night which followed Colonel Sulli-
vans arrest was a night long remern-
bered at Morristown--a night to up
lift the sanguine and to kindle the
short sighted, nor was 1t a wonder that
the young chief-as he strobe among
his admlring tenants, his presence
greeted with Irish acclamations and his
skirts kissed by devoted kernes-
shifted h pleasing incense and trod
the ground to the measure of imagined
music. The triumph that was never to
be intoxicated him.
His people had kindled a huge o
fire in the middle Of the forecourt, and
beside this he extended q gracious well
come to a crowd of strong tenants. A
second fire, for the comfort of the
/ baser sort, had been kindled outside
the gates, and was the center of mer-
riment less restrained, while a third,
which served as q beacon to the valley
and q proclamation of what vas being
done, glowed on the platform before
the ruined tower at the head of the
lake. From this last the red flames
streamed far across the water, and
now revealed a belated boat shooting
from the shadow, now a troop Of
trymen, who, led by their priest, came
limping along the lakeside, ~ostensibly
to join in the services of the morrow,

to do something toward freeing old Ire

cursed Saxon.

knew the truth, and the bishop.
But the native gentry saw nothing
hopeless in the plan. The plan was
first to fall upon Tralee In combination
with a couple of sloops said to be ly-
ing In Galway bay, and afterward to
surprise Kenmare. Masters of these
places, they proposed to raise the old
standard, to call Connaught to their
aid, to cry a crusade. And faith, as Sir
Denny said, before the Castle tyrants

CHAPTER X-Continued.

--
Colonel John recognized the weakness
Of his position. Before him the young
men were five to one with old Sir Don
ny and Timothy Burke In the rear. or
his flank tho help which Ulick might
I give was discounted by the move Cam
mock had made. He saw that he couf'
do no more at present. Suddenly as the
storm had blown up, he knew that he
was dealing with desperate men, who
from this day onward would act with
their necRs in a moose, and whom his
word might send to the scaffold. They
had but to denounce him to h rabble
who waited outside, and, besides the
bishop, one only there, as he believed,
would have influence to save him.
Colonel John had confronted danger
many times; to confront IL had been
HIS trade, And 1t was with GOODNESS
and q clear perception OF the position
that he turned to Flavia. II will give
up my sword" he said, but to my
cousin only. This is her house. and I
yield myself"-with a smile and a bow
her prisoner" ...
Before they knew what he would
be at he stepped forward and rendered
his hilt to the girl, who took IL with
naccid fingers. II am In your hands
now" he said, fixing his eyes on hers
and endeavoring to convey his mean
ing to her. For surely. with such q
face, she must have, with all her reck-
lessness, some womanliness, some ten
derness of feeling in her.
Hang your im~pudence!" The Nc
Murrough cried. -
"A truce, a truce" the bishop inter-
posed. 1--WE are all agreed that Colonel
Sullivan knows too much to go free.
He must be secured" he continued
smoothly, "for his own sake. VIII two
of these gentlemen see him to his
room, and see also that his servant Is
placed under guard in another room?"
But" the colonel objected, looking
at Flavia, my cousin will surely al
low me to give"-
"She Will be guided by US in this"
the bishop rejoined with asperity. Let
what I have said be done" -
Flavia, very pale, holding the COLI
onePs sword as IL II might sting her,
did not speak. Colonel Sullivan, after
a moments hesitation, followed 4 of
the O'Befrnes from the room, the other
bringing UP h rear.
When the door had closed upon
them, Flavia's was not the only pale
face in the room. The scene had
brought home to more than n the
fact that here was an enc Of peace and
law and a bepInnlng OF violence and
rebellion. The majority, secretly un-
easy put on q reckless air to cover
their approximations. The bishop and
Cammock, though they saw themselves
in a fair way to do what they had come
to do. looked thoughtful. Only Flavia,
shaking off the remembrance OF Col
oneI Johns face and Colonel Johns ex-
istence, closed her grip upon his sword,
and in the ardor of her patriotism saw
