FIGHT IN DARK ROOM.
An Italian and His Wife Battle to
the Death.

At Chicago, after locking their
two children in bed room and fast
ening all the doors Of their fiat,
Antonio Spizzirri and his wife, An
ma, went into the darkened parlor
and tried to kill each other.
- The woman was shot twice and
stabbed twice with a stilletto and
died before the police arrived. The
husband was shot twice also and he
were found near the sofa on which
may die. A revolver and knife
the woman lay dead, and another
revolver was found beside the hus-
bands body.
The disordered room indicated a
terrible struggle. Spizzirri turned on
his side as the police, called by
neighbors, broke into the room with
sledge hammer. He tore letter
into bits before the police could stop
him. This letter, when translated
from the Italian, may solve the mys-
terry. 1t is thought that Splzzlrrl
was Jealous of his wife.

LOCKER CLUBS TABOOED.
Alabama Passes Stringent PrOhi-
bitiOn Law.

Gov. Conner, of Alabama, signed
the Carmichael prohibition law pass
ed by the Alabama Legislature on
Monday.
Under this act it is unlawful to
sell or store any liquids containing
more than one-half Of l per cent
alcohol. Locker clubs are illegal
and the possession of United States
internal revenue license shall be
considered prima facie evidence of
guilt. Truly, Alabama is dry
State.
The Fuller bill and the Ballard
bill are still pending in the house.
They are more radical than the Car
michael bill and are designed to aid
in the enforcement Of the latter.
The Fuller bill prohibits any sort
of liquor advertising and throws
every safeguard around the law.
The Ballard bill provides for the
impeachment of officers who fail to
put the law into effect. Both of
these bills will be passed.

BOAR KILLS THREE HORSES.
Rips a Mans Leg Who Tired to Help
the Animals.

A boar, maddened by the heat,
recently ran wild on a West Middle
town farm and seriously wounded
one man and killed three valuable
horses before being shot to death,
says a dispatch from Washington,
Pa, to the Philadelphia North Amer
lean.
The animal, which was owned by
A. K. Rush, broke out of its pen
and attacked a pony in the barn
yard. Before the poney could es-
cape the hog had gored it to death
with it's tusks. The boar then broke
through a fence into a nearby field
and attacked a team of horses. Cor
nering the animals, the boar sprang
at them and dismembered them.
A number of men had gathered
by this time, and I. 3. Smith, who
owned the driving team, undertook
to drive the boar away. Leaving
the mangled bodies of the horses,
the boar turned on Smith and rip
ped open one leg from ankle to
thigh.
The Ihpg was shot as it stood
over Smith preparing to attack him
q second time.

DESTROY S WEEvILS
A BLACK Ant FOUND THAT EATS
UP THE PESTS ALIVE.
The Discovery Was Made by a Gov
ernment Agent, Who Thinks it
Will Solve the Problem.

Ants, the little black species
which frequently infest kitchens and
pantries, may be experimental with
near Durane, Okla. by the govern
ment next year to eXterminate boil
weevils. The discovery was recent
ly made by Special Agent S. w.
Murphy of the department of ag-
rsculture, who US located in that
city, that the ants will devour the
young weevil and the larvae before
they hatch, and that they are very
fond of the weevil as food.
The discovery was made entirely
by accident in the following manner:
Mr.. Murphy had visited local cot
ton field and secured several wee
wills which were about ready to
hatch. TheT%were taken to his Of
! fee for observation under magni-
flying glass to determine what effect,
if any, the recent hot weather had
had upon them. They were placed
on newspaper land left upon ta-
Bile while Mr.. Murphy went out to
. dinner.
When he returned scores Of little
black ants were deEouring the Wee
wills. He watched the ants with the
aid of his glass until he was thor
oughly satisfied that they were real
ly devouring the weevils and not
attacking them by chance. He then
wrote full report Of his discovery
and observations to DR.. Knapp, head
of the bureau of plant life industry.
under whose direction Mr.. Murphy
is working.
Mr.. Murphy has made further OBJ
servations of the habits of these ants
and is confident that in them he has
found an insect which will destroy
the boil weevil without damaging
the crop.
His explanation of the reason why
the ants have not already. extermi-
mated the weeVils Is that the ad-
vent of the latter into this country
is of comparatively recent date, and
that since their coming they have
spread and increased much more
rapidly than the ants.
He intends to colonize as many
ants as possible in a cotton field
near Durant next year, and to aS-
sist him in his efforts he has asked
that a government expert be detail
ed.
If the ants can be successfully
colonized and propagated Mr.. Muir
phys discovery will prove of un-
told worth to the cotton-growing in
dustry, and the ants, which are now
regarded as household pests, may
prove a blessing.

MARROW ESCAPE
YOUTHS LEARN SOMETHING
ABOUT GASOLINE FIRE.
They Had Hot Time for While
and Will Not Forget Their Expe-
rience Soon.

A dispatch from Georgetown to
The News and Courier says a pleas
ures trip that came near ending in
a tragedy occurred on Sunday night
on the Waccamaw river, when a par
ty of young men, returning to
GEORGETOWN from Pawley's Island,
had an experience with the combus-
tible qualities of gasoline, which
none of them will ever forget. They
left Hagley wharf and had come
nearly into Winyah Bay, when one
of the party remembered that he had
left his suit case on the wharf, and
the launch was Immediately put
about to get it.
The baggage was recovered and
the boat was headed once more
homewards, but had not proceeded
far when the gasoline gave out. The
anchor was lowered and the crew
prepared to spend the night, when a
passing rowboat was discovered,
manned by negroes. The boat was
hailed, and with two of the young
men in her, proceeded back to Hag-
ley wharf, where the gasoline tug
Dudley was tied up. A bucket of
gasoline was secured, and the party
started out in fine spirits. In the
meantime some of the gasoline had
split in the ottom of the boat,
which was partly covered with wa
ter.
A lighted lantern was in the bow,
and the gasoline on the surface was
carried beneath, when an explosion
took place, enveloping the whole row
boat and setting the two young
gentlemen and the negroes into a
panic, causing them to jump over
board. Fortunately the tug Dudley
was not far off, and all Of them
managed to get aboard her. When
the excitement had partially
worn off a fresh supply of gasoline
was gotten. the flames on the boat
were extinguished and the boat crew
undertook once more to get to tie
launch, where the rest of the party
were impatiently waiting, full Of
anxiety, as they had seen the flames
of the explosion from distance.
The, party succeeded in getting to
the city without further mishap at 4
O'Clock In the morning. The young
men of the party were Messrs. D. X.
Montgomery, P. F. Doyle, NJ. M.
Thomas and others. Messrs. Mont
gomery and M. NJ. Thomas were the
heroes of the gasoline experience.

A Young Girl Choked to Death
at R chester by
UNKNOWN PERSONS
The Body of Young Woman Found
Crudely Burned in Cemetery
Points to Frightful Murder Which
Battles Police Broken Spade
Found Near the Scene Gives Clue.

Found Near the scene GIVES clue.
There seems to be no doubt but
that Miss Anna Schumacher, the sew
entAen year old girl whose body
was found Tuesday morning crudely
burned in Holy Sepulchre cemetery
at Rochester, N. Y, was shocked
and beaten to death, but many Of
the circumstances of the crime, even
to the exact place where it was
committed can still be only guessed
at. Although the authorities be-
lieve they have clue to the murder,
namely, broken spade found near the
scene Of the deed, who is guilty OF
the crime is matter OF specula-
ton.
For a time suspicion was directed
towards an employee of st. Ber-
nard's Seminary, which is near the
cemetery, but the seminary authori-
ties disposed of this in statemnt.
Some Of the people assert that they
have clues that indicate that the
guilty person is not tramp; that
he is probably now in that city and
that an arrest is probable in a day
or two.
The broken spade was taken from
pig pen at st. Bernard's, and its
use lends plusiblity to the fact that
the murderer was not unfamiliar
with the locality. 1t is thought that
probably at twilight or after dark,
he went after the spade, having
dragged the body into the shrubbery,
and with such care as was possible
in the darkness he buried the body
in shallow trench, covering it with
earth and leaves.
The autopsy emphasizs the brutal
ity Of the crime. The body was In
pitiable condition-the head, face,
chest and arms and hands were COW
cred with bruises and scratches; the
bone that supports the tongue, the
hyoid was fractured, when the as
sailant choked his. victim; the body
was covered with blood, and the hair
was full of dirt and leaves, indi-
eating. that the body was dragged
some distance, probably by the feet.
Part of the clothing had been re-
moved. 1t would seem that the girl,
who was of vigorous physique, made
desperate struggle to save her
life. The condition of the body
makes it necessary that burial shall
be at once.
The young woman left her home
Saturday morning to place flowers
in the family cemetery and when she
did not return at night her family
became greatly alarmed. A search
was Instituted, which was kept up un-
til the finding of her body Wednes-
day by two officers, about a hundred
feet outside Of the cemetery limits.

Speech and Presents Resolutions.
Col. August Kohn writing to The
News and Courier from Spokane says
the South Carolina delegation, tWen-
ty-four strong, has made quite an
impression at the Irrigation, Conven-
ton. South Carolina wants wet
land reclamation and that platform
is likely to be incorporated in the
general policy of the Irrigation Con-
gress. Commissioner Watson,
standing under the South Carolina
flag, whooped up things in great
style for South Carolina in the best
speech of the day. The Congress is
very largely attended and gives
promise of results.
At the meeting of the delegation
Tuesday the following selections
were made: E. ]. Watson, chair
man; A. ]. Bethea, secretary; D. F.
Moore, executive committeeman;
Samuel G. Stoney, committee on
resolutions; Samuel Dibbte, commit
tee on organization; James Cos
grove, although absent, was elected
honorary vice-president.
The delegates from South Carroll
ma enrolled are: E. j.. Watson, Co.

ney, Charleston; August Kohn, Co.

Our people at home have little
realization of the intense interest
the West is taking in irrigation and
how freely it is spending barrels Of
money for that purpose. South Car
olina's efforts to reclaim wet lands
is appreciated out West. All is well
in the party. On the strength Of
COL Watson's fine address, he was
invited to address the National Con-
servation Congress at Seattle on the
2Sth.
In the Congress Wednesday Com
missioner Watson presented strong
resolutions relating to Federal aid
for drainage upon the ground of
public health. These resolutions
were signed by Watson, as chair
man of the South Carolina delega-
ton; Governor Gilchrist, of Florida,
and members of South Dakota, Ida
no and Indiana and Minnesota dele
cations. Col. Watson also present
ed resolution relating to forest
preservation, which was likewise
strongly backed. Both resolutions
are in the hands of the committee.
At 1O:30 o'clock Wednesday
South Carolina delegates were en-
tertained at banquet by the El
Paso, Texas, delegation-an elegant
affair. President Barstow was
present and presiding with Col.
Watson on his left and the chair
man of the Texas delegation on his
right. There were noteworthy
toasts and responses, all ringing
with the progressive spirit Of the
South. The South Carolinians will re-
turn the compliment to the Texans

Johnson.-Ketcheil
Bout Postponed

After all, Willis Britt got his own
way as regards a postponement Of
the Johnson ketchell fight for the
worlds championship, which was
scheduled to come of to day.
Ketchell's bunch tried time after
time to have the contest put of till
October 81, but johnson would not
hear of change. Finally, however.
a compromise was arrived at, and
October 16 was decided upon as the
date on which Stanley is, to use =
familiar expression, get his"
One of the reasons that Ketchell
wanted the fight put OF is that his
bunch thought larger crowd would
be present at the ringside II the
match were brought of at Portola
time.
Although all sorts OF talk Is going
on about battles OF the past wherein
little men have managed to get away
with the scalp of much larger men
than themselves, the general opinion
seems to be that Ketchell has not
got chance against the big negro.
johnson has trained properly for
this fight and is not going to take
any chances OF losing his title to
