SHOT HIMSELF.
Sam Wallace Takes His Life in a Fit OF
DespondenCy.

Sam Wallace, who lived in this
city for several years, committed
suicide early last Thursday after
noon at his home on North Clay
street.
Wallace was formerly a bar
tender at the saloon Of Shuman q
Company, but for some months
prior to the 1st of January last,
worked in a similar capaclay for
G. M. Bailey.
When the saloons were forced
out January 1st, Wallace started a
small grocery store out Oh East
Innes street. This was conducted
under some disadvantages and
did not prove a financial success.
The deceased had been very de-
sponteut for several days and is
said to have told his wife that he
would Kill himself, but not be-
l%ieving him to be serious she paid
n, attention to the threat. Thurs
day afternoon about 1 o'clock the
victim of his own rash act went to
his room, seated himself on the
bed and shot himself through the
heart.
His wife hearing the report of
the pistol, rushed to the room,
broke the pistol from his hands
just as he dropped back upon the
bed, dead. The bereaved wife and
two small children who are left,

the commuaity,

GOOD ADVICE.
Judge Council Advises Young Man 70 Quit
the Blind Tiger Business,

"You'll never make any money
at the blind tiger business. Soon
er or later you will go into bank
ruptcy."
Thus remarked Judge W. B,
Council to Rowan Howell, a bright
looking young man, apparently
not over 20, who had been in Jail
since December on a charge of re-
failing liquor. His attorney,
Plummer Stewart, had just recited
to the court the fact of the hotly
contested trial his case had had at
the last term of court, the jury
trying, six to six. Consequently
he felt inclined to enter a plea of
guilty, thinking that his client,
even if guilty, had been sufficient
ly punished, rather than precipi-
itate another such fight. the con-
sequences of which were uncertain.
II won't punish him any MORE"
said the court. I want him to
understand, though, that it is not
because 1 have any idea that he is
not guilty, because 1 am certain
that he is"
"There are plenty of ways" he
continued, addressing the prisoner,
Gin which bright young men like
you can make money without re-
sorting to such means as this.
Make all entry there, that judge
ment is suspended"
And young Howell, who showed
no signs whatever Of his long con
Gnement, being as neatly dressed
as anyone in the courtroom, arose
with unconcealed relief on his face
and went out free for the first time
in months to the fresh air and sun
shlne.-Charlotte Observer.

complete control of the capital TO-
night. The Sultan is practically
a prisoner in the Yildiz palace,
His formal submission has not yet
been given, but he and the troops
with him are at the mercy of the
army of occupation.
Mahmond Schefket Pasha the
the commander-in-chief Of them
vading forces, desires TO finish the
work without further, bloodshed.
He is in negotiation with the Sui
tan's representatives. and has ex'
tended the period of grace, within
which the Sultan must make his
final decision. The Yild:Z Kiosk
may be rushed during the night,
for some 5000 infantry are dis.
posed within a mile and a half OF
the palace.
What disposition will be made
of the ruler of the empire when he
is IN the hands of the costitutiou-
alists is unknown to the embassies,
although the opinion is held in
authoritive, with the officials OF
the household largely responsible
to the Cabinet who in turn will be
responsible to Parliament.
The sending forward of the ad-
vance posts of the Saloniki army
yesterday afternoon to within two
and ont-half miles of the palace
foreshadowed the attack upon the
city, which began at 5 O'Clock
this morning. The bridges had
been picketed and small parties of
calvary had reconnoitred the
ground. After desultory firing,
lust before dawn, a strong ad-
u was made in the southwest
part CT Pera. The attacking
forces spread out in long line aud
made an ass sult;up n the Match a
and Taschkiachia barracks, south
of the palace. Here they met with
a stubborn resistan &c.
The number of casualties prob
ably will never be known, but il
is estimated far into the thous.
ands. Around the Taxjm bar
racks alone it is believed
that a thosand or more men fell.
There private houses within the
line of fire suffered greatly.
In one quarter some 5000 of
1000 troops were Engaged in the
conflict, but with the terrific ex-
change of shots, few non-combat-
ants were killed.
Gonstahtinoble, April 27.-Sul-
tan Abdul Hamid was deposed to-
day by joint action Of the national
assembly. which voted secretly,
and a religious edict was issued
Ivy the shiek vi Islam approving
and legalizing his disposition. 1t
is announced that the Sultan will
be removed from Yildiz Kiosk to-
day. Mohammed Rechad Efendi,
the Sultan's brother. was immedi-
ately proclaimed the new Sultan
amid the widest enthusiasm,
"The tyrants have fallen! Hail to
Rechad."
The ceremony Of Rechad's en-
thronement was Immediately held,
Sheik VI Islam, head of the Mo-
manned church, issued a decree
deposing the Sultan on the ground
that he had violated the Moslem
religion by numerous acts mimi
cal to the religion.
Despite the joy in the city it is
feared the country generally will
resent the deposition and that CIV
il war will ensue. 1t was reported
at noon that Abdul had been TAX
en- prisoner and held by young
Turks in the palace at Cheraghan.
Rechad is IS years old Oh the

strength and is expected to serve
