WANTED TO BE CALLED MISS
Colored Bishops Daughter Causes
Family to be Driven from Town.

Greenville, Miss. June 13.-Et-
forts of a negro girl to force white
women to address her as Miss re-
suited last night in the hasty depart
ure of the family of E. W. hampton,
bishop of the African Methodist Epls-
copal church. The girl is Bishop
Lampton's daughter. She has vainly
insisted that the title be used by
saleswomen in stores and by tele-
phone operators.
On Saturday, after some sharp
words addressed to one Of the tele-
phone operators, she said that her
father would see that she was spok-
en- to in a respectful manner.
Bishop hampton called on the
telephone manager and demanded
that all the young women at the ex-
change be ordered to address his
daughter as Miss hampton. The
manager declined and made the in
terview known. An indignation
meeting was held by citizens and
Bishop hampton was given five
hours to take his family from the
city.

KILLS MULE AND HIMSELF.
Singular Tragedy is Enacted in Hor'
ry County.

Conway. June 17.-Perhaps the
most peculiar suicide ev7r heard OF
was committed in this county yester-
day. Mr.. John S. Granger, a white
farmer about 20 years of age, who
lives near Green Sea, yesterday
morning shot and killed his mule
a ndthen turned the gun on him
self, dying almost instantly.
The facts as reported here this aft
ernoon from Loris by telephone are
that Mr.. Watts held a bill of sale for
$50 on the mule owned by Mr..
Granger and a few days ago sent
word to Granger that unless he paid
off the bill OF sale at once he would
send for the mule.
Granger, it is reported, stated
that Watts would never get the mule
and yesterday morning led the anil
NAL to the nearby woods and killed
it and, returning to the house, shot
himself, using the same weapon
with which he killed his animal.
No cause for the suicide other
than the above has yet developed.

A Curious Tomb.

One of the most curious tombs in
the United Kingdom is in County
Wexford. In it is laid the body of
one of that curious body-the Resur-
rectionists. One portion of the. tomb
is furnished chamber, with table
and few chairs. On the table will
be found at any time dainty meal
of considerable dimensions, with a
fowl, ham, leg of mutton and the
necessary drinkables. The departed
Resurrectionist provides by his will
that this meal shall be laid each
fortnight, and eff the meal is un-
touched in the meantime, it shall be
given to the poor and fresh meal
laid" So far the meal has been un-
touched, though eerie rumors spread
round the district from time to time
that in spirit form the gentleman
has appeared and has enjoyed his
meal. Curious stories are told Of
poor people to whom the ham or the
leg of mutton has been given being
awakened in the night by strange
rappings on their doors and win
dows, and even by demands in a
grim voice for a portion of the food
which had been distributed. AS a
consequence and probably for an
other sad reason, it has come to be
the practice to consume the food i'm
mediately it is brought home. It Is
the only way to counteract the envy
of the spirit, with whom apparently
hunger Is constantly present.-Dun-
dee Advertiser.

William Knox Found Guilty.

Aiken, June 18.-William Knox,
who killed Pickens Penn last year,
was tried yesterday for the second
time, and yesterday evening the jury
rendered a verdict of guilty, with
recommendation to the mercy of the
court.
The case created widespread inter-
est last fall, and not little editorial
comment in the papers. Knox was
tried and found guilty of murder in
the first degree, with no recommen-
dation. His counsel moved for
new trial on the ground that some of
the Jurors decided on their verdict
by means of tossing coin, or draw
ing, and fate was against Knox. The
judge set the verdict aside on this
ground, afidavits being submitted
from several of the jurors to this ef-
feet.
Knox will be sentenced to serve
life term in the State penitentiary.

RUFF KILLS HIS NEIGHBOR
ORLANDO WICKER, HIS FRIEND,
VICTIM OF "UNLOADED Gun"
Slayer Disappears After Shooting,
bit Will Surrender-No Quarrel
or Bad Blood.

Newberry. June 2O.-A deplor-
able affair occurred in the st. Phil
lips section of this county, about ten
miles from the court house on the
Pomaria road, this morning between
s and 9 o'clock, which resulted in
the killing of Mr.. T. Orlando
Wicker, a young man of about %
years of age, the son of the late Or
lando Wicker, by Mr. Caldwell Ruff,
son of Col. D. A. Ruff, one Of the
best citizens of the county. The
shooting is said to have been acci-
dental. Wicker, the young man
killed, was bachelor. Ruff, who did
the shooting, is a young married
man about 25 years of age.
Coroner Felker was telephoned
for and left Immediately for the Ruff
home, where an inquest was held,
Sheriff Buford also going to the
scene.
From the testimony it seems that
young Wicker was in the habit OF oc-
casionally visiting Mr.. Ruff, they liv-
ing only about half a mile apart, and
being distantly related. This morn
ing he called at the Ruff home about
8 o'clock, where he, Caldwell Ruff,
Loamma Ruff and John Nance sat on
the piazza and chatted for half an
hour pleasantly. No argument or
dispute whatever took place between
any of them, when Caldwell Ruff got
up and walked into the house, re-
turning shortly. AS he reached the
door leading on to the piazza, where
Wicker was sitting, the pistol was
discharged. No one had observed
the pistol in Ruff's hands and no
mention of one had been made.
The ball from the pistol struck
Wicker in the right side Of the neck
passing through the carotid artery,
causing instant death.
When the pistol was fired, Mr..
Ruff unbreached the weapon and
said, Lord, 1 didn't know the pistol
was loaded"
AS soon as young Wicker died,
Caldwell Ruff disappeared and at
this time has not been apprehended,
but it Is understood that assurances
were given that he would surrender
by tomorrow when application will
be made for bail.
The verdict Of the coroner's jury
is that "the said T. Orlando Wicker
came to his death by pistol shot
wound accidentally caused by pis-
tol in the hands of Caldwell Ruff. -
Coroner Felker issued warrant for
Caldwell Ruff and placed it in the
hands of Sheriff Buford.
Both families are prominent and
are good people, and the affair is
very much regretted.

Duel in Florida.

Lakeland, Fla, June ia duel
took place at noon to-day at Carriers,
small station near here, between
A. J. Jonas, superintendent of the
Carter Manufacturing Company's
mills, and Clyde Carter, sawyer.
Carter is in a dying condition, one
shot passing through his head and
another through his body. Jonas is
seriously wounded, but may recover,
ball having struck him in the col
lar bone, passing through his neck.
The superintendent had been at
tempting to break up gambling
about the mills and Carter resented
his interference. The men met in
the commissary to-day and both be-
gan firing at once. A companion of
Carter's, Fred Jones, is in jail,
charged with firing the shot that
struck Jonas.
Carter is a member Of a promi-
nent Georgia family, his father hav-
ing been a candidate for governor
of that State.

TWO KILLED IN WRECK.
Fatal Accident on Southern Railway
Near Columbia. .-

The derailing of an extra freight,
No. 275, at Styx, a few miles south
of Columbia, on the Savannah line
of the Southern railway, last Thurs
day morning about 10 o'clock,
caused the death of Engineer W. H.
Turner, of Columbia, and Fireman
J. Y. Carlisle, a native of Fairfield,
but resident of Columbia, his home
being directly opposite that of En-
gineer Turner on east Laurel street.
Just how the derailment occurred
will probably never be known, but
it was thought to be due to defec-
tive tie or rail caused on account of
the rains. The engine and about 1S
cars turned over and several others
left the track. Engineer Turner
was fatally injured and lived but a
short time and Fireman Carlisle
was buried under the wreckage, his
body not being taken out until sew
eral hours afterwards.
AS soon as the news was received
a relief train was made up and sent
from Columbia to the wreck. Here
passengers on train No. 134 from
Augusta were transferred and the
remains of Engineer Turner brought
to Columbia and turned over to Un-
dertaker VanMetre.
Engineer Turner was one of the
most popular men in the employ of
the Southern. He Is survived by a
wife and four children. He was a
member of the Richlant: lodge of
Masons and of the local order of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers. The funeral was held at
the residence, 2315 Laurel street, at
4:30 o'clock Friday afternoon and
the interment was at Elmwood ceme-
terry with Masonic honors.
The body of j. Y. Carlisle was
taken to Winnsboro early Friday
morning for burial. Mr.. Carlisle
was a member of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Firemen and well
known throughout the State. His
body was buried under a mass of
debris and was badly mutilated. 1t
was necessary for the wrecking
crew to work several hours before
he could be located and one Of the
remarkable discoveries made when
his body was removed was that his
watch was uninjured and still run
ming. Almost every part Of his
body was covered with wreckage,
but his watch was uninjured. His
death was instantaneous.

MISSOURI JAIL LIKE HOME.
One Occupant a Guest and Hospital
ity Different from Other Jails.

If you intend to go to jail don't
linger in the unattractive stone and
brick structures of the East, where
the naughty jailer holds himself
above the prisoner and looks down
upon him as colonial dame looks
down upon mere woman. But go
to old Missouri, where the jailers
dispense old time hospitality, and
where your stay will be a pleasure
to both host and guest.
At Liberty, Mo-, there is the
model Jail. At present it has but
one guest-Edward Marshall, color
ed-and he appears to be a general
favorite. When the professional re-
former representing the Society for
the Friendless arrived at Liberty he
found that Marshall was the only Of
fetal prisoner, and the town was
proud of him. He wasn't friend
less;" he was serving out a sentence
for accommodating the prohibition
community with "moonshine," and
seemed to be regarded more as an
unfortunate philanthropist than a
convicted criminal. The reformer
wanted to convert him, but found
that Marshall was a leading light in
the colored church and never miss
ed a prayer meeting. He had re-
ligion and friends ''to burn" as
George Cohan would say. Further
more, he carried the key of his cell,
and when the reformer called was
out visiting a lady friend. The jail
has big iron key eight inches long,
and the prisoner takes it around
with him wherever he goes.
Thus Goes old Missouri win the
love as we'll as the. respect of its
prisoners, who cling to her as col
ored brother clings to the last chick
en-. What a contrast to our tails
here in the East! Some of these
Eastern jailers are 80 rude and in
considerate, some of them give such
poor accommodations and measley
fare that we wonder they get the
large patronage they do.-Baltimore

Dogs Remarkable Intelligence.

Thomas Jones, who owns a big
ranch on San Jaun Island, lost a COL
lie dog last fall for nearly a month,
and for several days searched the
woods about his place zealously for
the animal, without success. One
day he tossed a bone to another col
lie. Instead of gnawing it, he picked
it up and started for the woods. He
kept turning his head, apparently to
see if he was followed, and Jones
concluded to follow him. The dog
trotted along for about mile and
stopped at the edge Of an abandoned
we'll. He dropped the bone over the
edge of the well. Jones got ladder,
climbed down, and found the dog
that had been lost. There was only
about two inches Of water In the
we'll, but the animal would have
starved to- death had it not been for
the other. The lost dog was in
good condition, and as it had been
missing twenty-four days the other
animal must have kept it supplied
with food for nearly month.

S. j. P. Aston Drowned.

Charleston, June 19.-Advices
were received here to-day of the
death of S. J. P. Aston and the mar
row escape of lady from drowning
in the accident which befell launch
party last night, proceeding from
Young's Island to Rockville. 1t ap'
pears that the engine of the boat be-
came disabled and in some way filled
with water.
Aston safely carried one Of the Ia
dies ashore, but with much effort
and it is thought that he returned to
the assistance of another, when his
strength failed him and he was
drowned. The lady he rescued was
unconscious for many hours and il
could not be learned to-day whether
she had been later revived. The 9th
er two ladies in the launch were res

Convict Disappears.

Lexington, June 17.-This after.
noon about 4 o'clock B. F. Rushton,
white convict. disappeared from
the changing oslnp, and so far no
trace of him has been found. Rush
ton left the camp to 60 for wood
and soon after his departure heavy
thunderstorm came up. It is posi-
BILE, therefore, that he was killed by
lightning, but search for his body
has been unavailing, and the opinion
is that he escaped.
Rushton was convicted Of forgery
at the February term of court and
sentenced to eight months on the
chaingang. Rushton is a native OF
