London, Jan. 1.-THE mysterious
disappearance and remarkable car
eer of Miss Violet Gordon Charles
worth are giving the public a sensa-
ton equal to that of the Steinheil
case in Paris. Miss Charlesworth, an
attractive woman of rs, who lived
with her parents in Bondera, st. AS.
apis. Wales, has been reported as
killed while motoring in the diree-
ton of Penmaenmawf with her sis
ter and chauffeur on Saturday. Those
who have examined the scene of the
supposed tragedy where the body was
declared to have been thrown into
the sea do not consider it possible
that the body could have been wash.

Nd DAMAGE To
FRUIT TREES HERE
FRUIT INSPECTOR DARLINGTON
SAYS THAT THERMOMETER
HAS NOT BEEN LOW ENOUGH
TO HURT THE PEACHES.

The report is that there will not
be a peach next summer in the en-
tire Spokane valley This is re-
suit of the late cold spell. r. A.
Jones, one of the big fruit growers
of the Spokane country, said Satur-
day that he was satisfied that the
late cold spell had killed all of the
peach buds In that section.
Fruit Inspector Darlington was
asked this morning by the World as
to whether there would be any dam
age to the peach crop of this valley
as a result of the cold snap. Mr..
Darlington stated that it would have
to be a good deal colder than it has
been In the past to kill the peach
buds here. He stated that he be-
Iieved that should the thermometer
get down to Is or 20 degrees below
zero for several nights in succession
that this cold would kill of a large
proportion of the peach buds. but
that so far 1t has not been cold
enough to work any damage.
The cold came in the right season
here. Had it come suddenly after
a warm spell there might have been
some danger.

and he Bavarian crown, cooked upon
h.s head. One day he summoned
Privy Councillor Won Lohr and COM
frunicated to. him a desire that a
kingdom should be obtained in which
ludwig aione should be absolute.
and It Is related solemnly as fact
that the councillor entered into corr
-aspondence with the sultan of Tur-
key as to whether the Ottoman mon

change the island of Cyprus for tie
kingdom of Bavaria.
It was Ludwig's Indebtedness
which contributed largely to the ca
tastrophe of 1886. The finances of
the royal household had been put in
order in 1884 through loan of ST.
875, 900, but before the year was fin
ishei Ludwig had accumulated fresh
debts amounting to $1,625,000. The
kings passion for building was res
ponsible for most of these debts, and
It was his wont to say when he spoke
at all. that building was his sole
pleasure, and II 1t was prevented
nothing would be left for him but
death or to leave 1.-The wretched
country" Pressed by debts, Ludwig
ordered agents to go to the capitals
of nearly every country in Europe to
negotiate loans. He sent them even
to Turkey and Persia and Brazil. He
went so far as to command the or
ganization of a band OF royal high
waymen to replenish his exchequer.
Loved Inanfmate Things.
The king was devoted to inanimate
objects. and there was tree on the
shores OF Lake Starnberg which he
never passed without raising his
hands In q gesture Of benediction.
There was q marble pillar In the Cas-
tie Lindenhof which he never passed
without caressing it. He made per-

was compelled to kneel before the
portrait Of a woman that is believed
to have been likeness of Marie An
toinette. That queen and Louis XIV
were Luiwig's favorite historical
idols, and in his imagination he
would entertain them sumptuously.
Toward the last the kings treat
ment OF his servants was brutal. A
|stableboy whom he hurled against a
wall Is believed to have died Of his
injuries.
A study of Chinese ceremonial led
Ludwig to make 1t part Of his daily
life, SO that servants who offended
him were compelled to PROSTATE
themselves on their faces before him.
Wanted to kidnap Crown Prince.
The mailman had strong antipa-
thy to the German crown prince, and
outlined a scheme to Hesselschwerd
to commission a band of robbers to
kidnap the prince, imprison him in
q cave and there feed him on bread
and water. This was in 1884, and
in that year Hesselschwerd also was
commanded to put War Minister
Meiliger, into a castle dungeon and
think out some terrifying mode OF
punishment for the minister of fin
ance because of his reports on the
royal Indebtedness.

tions concerning Ludwig have ap-

Chester, S. C., Oct. 2S.-Mr. H. C.
Riser, Of Whitmire, wss in the city
this morning with the remains Of his
son, Nj. Hugh B. Riser, who was in
,jured at Great Falls Monday after
noon at 3 o'clock by coming in con-
tact with a live wire and who passed
away yesterday morning at II
o clock, after lingering for that time
in great agony. Mr.. Riser was a
bright and promising young man, %
years old, and his tragic death was a
great shock to his aged father and
the other members Of his family. Af-
ter he was injured he fought heroical-
~ for recovery and asked that news
Of his accident be kept from his
mother.
From wha; information is avail
able it seems that Mr.. Riser and a
companion, MI Klgo, went to work
Monday afternoon in the transform
eer room. Mr.. Riser evidently being
under the impression that the cur
rent was turned off, or forgetting that
It was on. He mounted a ladder some
ten or twelve feet high, and the next
his companion, who remained below,
knew there was d flash and the body
of young Riser was falling to the
ground.
He was taken mp and tenderly
borne to. his boarding place where
DR.. J. B. McKeown, the resident
physician. did all that was possible
for him. He was found TO be burned
from tie chin down to the waist,
and was evidently injured internally,
Part Of the time he was conscious,
and at such times talked Of general
subjects trying to keep the minds OF
the others off the subject Of his in
jury. Finally yesterday morning at
II o'clock he passed quietly away,

he died Of "shock'
Mr.. Riser had been employed at
Great Falls for only six weeks, but
in that time had made many friends,
who deeply deplore the sudden and
tragic summons away from earth.
Mr.. Riser was a graduate of the
electrical engineering department OF
Clemson College, class Of '0S, and
was admirably fitted for his work. He
was very popular with faculty and
students. and there will be wide
spread grief occasioned by the news
of his tragic death.
