hood days. His chief delight is to
come up from Aiken for an annual

.Edgefield shoppers have never had
a larger or more complete stock

recently Mr.. Belts Cantelou saw a
stock dealer fill an order for 100
mules from Pennsylvania at $4Oo
each. Of course these were excep-
tionally fine, but ordinary mules are
much higher thana year ago.

One of the most progressive firms
at P~arksville is Messrs. Robertson
Bros. & Elkins. They carry a
large stock of general merchandise,

NEWARK BANKS TO FIGHT
TAX ON MONEY ASSETS.
Notify Stockholders Not TO
Notice Assessments.

That the national banks of Newark
are going to fight to the limit the con-
tention of the local Tax Board that the
money circulation Of national banks is
taxable asset of the bank, is shown
by the fact that several of the banks
have sent supplementary notices to
their stockholders, following those of
several weeks ago, when attention was
first called to the proposed increase in
the tax rate.
The new circulars again ask the
stockholders not TO pay any tax assess
ment on shares Of stock they hold in
the bank. and say that even If the de. i.
cision in the end should go against
the banks the penalty the stockholders
will have to pay will be nothing more
than the interest payments attached to
delayed tax payments
All the banks are using practically
the same form of notice of which the
above is the substance. Several bank.

pRESBYTERIANS SUGGEST
LOBBYING AT LEGISLATURE.
Synod Committee Would Send
Ministers to Urge Local Option.
Especial to the Newark Star. /

ATLANTIC CITY, Oct. 20.-The
temperance committee of the New Jer-
sey Synod made it's report today, and
while lauding the work that had been
accomplished by the New Jersey Anti
Saloon League and the Lords Day AL
lance and thanking the people who
helped in any way in the advancement
of the temperance question, the reso-
lutons, recommended by the commit
tee were rather severe on the present
grand jury system and conditions in
Atlantic City.
The report was read by DR.. w. ".
Lauderbaugh, of Salem. The committee
urged that a lobbying committee of
three be appointed to look after legis-
Iation in the interests of church and
temperance, and specially indorsed the
work of Senator Plummer and Senator
Gebhardt for their stand on the local
option question last winter.
These two matters raised somewhat
of storm of protest on the part of
some of the ministers, many of whom
believed they would be doing the
church an injustice and would work
harm to the cause by undertaking to
carry on lobby.

TRIES TO
STEAL GIRL AND
LANDS IN COURT
Hearing Develops Peculiar Mix.
up Of Relationships for
Judge to Solve.

Who is who In relationship between
several families was a problem that
confronted Judge Herr in the Fourth
Precinct Court today. The case had
all the elements of kidnapping, as
sault and battery mix-up, family row
and about everything else that goes to
make up a nice little affair.
Todays doings started about a. M,
when Patrick Campbell, aged 40; Peter
Cleary, aged 81, and John Feely, aged
26. all living at 23S East Forty-sixth
street, New York city, called at the
residence of Campbell's daughter, Mrs
Peter Timony, SO Avon place. Incident
ally Feely is a brother-in of Mrs.
Timony.
Campbell came to this country sew
eral years ago from Ireland, leaving
two children by his second wife in that
country. 1t is alleged he neglected to
support the children. Mrs. Timony
made arrangements to have the chill.
dren brought to Newark and guaran-
teed the immigration inspectors that
they would be taken care of. She
brought them to her home In Newark,
where they arrived about two weeks
ego. Campbell had heard of their ar
rival, and three days after they were
safely housed at Mrs. Timony's nome
he called there and In the absence of
Mrs. Timony took the younger child, a
girl aged 49, back to New York with
him and lodged her with Mrs. Feely, a
sister of Mrs. Timopy.
That was the last heard of Campbell
until today, when, accompanied by
Cleary and Feely, all of whom are
said by the police of the Fourth Pre-
cinct to have been under the influence
of liquor, he again visited the Timony
home and demanded the eldest child, a
girl aged 16. Mrs. Timony refused to
admit him, but, with the aid of Cleary,
1t Sc said, he forced the door. Feely,
Mrs. Timony's brother-in -in-law, inter-
fered and stopped all trouble just as
the police, who had heard of the affair,
entered the house.
All three men were arrested and
taken to the Fourth Precinct. where
Judge Herr, after listening to both
sides of the story, fined Campbell $40,
with the alternative of sixty days in
Jail, while Cleary was given S5 or ten
days for his part in the affray. Feely
was released, as he had taken no part
in the alleged attempted abduction or
the rougher proceedings. Campbell and
Cleary paid their fines and went back
to New York. The different factions
of the family, it is said. win get to-
gether shortly and patch up peace
pact that is badly frayed around the
edges right now.

MRS. BATONY| IS
GRANTED DIVORCE
FROM SOCIETY WHIP
Sealed Verdict Opened in Court
Today UpholdS Charges
of Wife.

NEW YORK, Oct. 20.-Mrs Frances
Burke Roche Batonyi was granted an
absolute divorce today from Aurel Ba-
tonyi, the Austrian horseman, and
noted society whip, in verdict found
by jury in Justice OGorman's part
Of the Supreme Court.
The verdict was found last night, but
was sealed and not announced until the
opening Of court today.
The verdict will have to be confirmed
by a judge before decree will be
granted.
This verdict follows upon two years
of charges and counter charges be-
tween the daughter of Frank Work,
the New York millionaire, and Batonyi
who has associated with wealthy horse
fanciers since he came to this country
in 1899. Mrs. Batonyi sued for divorce
on statutory grounds. At the trial she
withdrew all but two of her ten
charges these involving her husband
with two New York women. A long
night ride in a taxicab with one of
these women and night spent in the
apartment of the other We're the allie
cations behind these charges.
1t was during a coaching trip on the
box of the public coach Good Times
that Batonyi met Mrs. Burke Roche,
then divorced from her first husband,
an English public man Of some note.
A brief courtship ended in August, 1905,
in their marriage A year later the
news was broken to Frank Work The
aged millionaire flew into a. passion, it
i ID Ill \
that unless his daughter beg :. steps
at once to free herself from the union
he would disinherit her. Soon after
ward an action for divorce was begun
by Mrs. Batoyni. The husband re-
taliated by bringing counter suit, In
which he named eleven correspondents
He also sued his wife's father, her sis
ter and brother-in-law, her cousin and
l-r. Works confidential secretary.
damages aggregating $500, 900,
for the alienation of his wife's affec-
tions.
The verdict was reached shortly after
an announcement that the jury in JUS
tice O'Gorman's court had been unable
to agree. There was rumor then that
1t was in favor of Batonyi. The basis
for this appeared to be the promptness
with which the jury's answer to the
two questions concerning the defend
ants conduct was recorded after re-
porting to the court that an agreement
seemed impossible.
The conclusion of the trial was some
what spectacular. Batonyi was In
rage and Mrs. Batonyi at one time was
in tears. Batonyi admitted that his
real name is Kohn, altered from
Batonyi was on the witness stand
several hours and got so excited during
his oss-examination that Justice
O'Gorman had to reprimand him. and
finally told him to step down. Batonyi
at that stage was standing and waving
his arms around like a windmill, utter
ing wholesale accusations against the
Work family and others.

Workmen Drag Ernest Schwab
Unconscious from Blaz-
ing Factory.
OVERCOME BY SMOKE IN
ATTEMPT TO RESCUE TOOLS
Fire of Mysterious Origin Des-
troys Boiler-room, Causing
$1,000 Loss.

Ernest Schwab. a foreman in the
factory of Zeh. Hahnemann s. Co., be
tween vanderpool and Poinier streets,
overcome by smoke during fire which
started in the engine room and threat
snsd the plant with destruction, was
saved from death by number of his
companions who, endangering their
own lives, managed to drag him
through a window to safety.
y The blaze was discovered shortly be-
fore a. m. in che combination engine
and boiler room. The factory is a
long, low one and a half-story brick
structure, and the boiler room, at the
southern end, Is a frame building. So
fiercely was the fire burning when 1t
was discovered that by the time firemen
arrived the boiler room had been des
troyed and the flames, finding an easy
passage through the belt hall, had
burned through the roof to the main
building.
All of the forty employees of the
place were at work when the fire was
discovered. One of them ran to the
Igoe Brothers wire nail factory and
sent in an alarm from the private box
in the building. Workmen in the main
building had no time to save their tools
or street clothing in the wild rush nee
essary to reach the street.
Schwab might have reached safety
with his companions. but he sought
to save his clothing and tools. He was
missed Immediately and relief party
went to his rescue. The foreman was
found unconscious on the floor of the
factory, carried to a window and lifted
outside
Mrs. Bridget Connolly who lives
with her son in small frame building
at 1a7 vanderpool street, directly IN
the rear Of the boiler room, was found

the flames, which threatened her home,
with buckets of water. Her son James.
asleep In the house, was not awakened
until q stream Of water was thrown
on the house. breaking the glass in his
bedroom window.
The quick work of Battalion Chief
Robert Morgan, who was In command,
and his men, not only saved the main
factory building, but made it unneces.
sary to send in second alarm. AS 1t
was the damage to the building and
the machinery was estimated at $4,000.
E. w Zeh, one of the members OF the
firm, declared that the origin of the
fire is a mystery He said there was
no one in the boiler room at the time
the flames started. but that he had been
in the room five minutes before the
alarm was sounded. A gas engine by
which the machinery in the place is
operated, and a boiler for the steam
heating plant were housed in this
structure Two large tanks of machine
oil in the place were found intact after
the blaze was extinguished. Zeh said
he believed two wires In the boiler room
had become crossed and formed a short
circuit. The loss Is fully covered by
insurance, he declared.
Another theory that there had been
an explosion in the boiler room was ad-
vanced. No report. however, was
heard. Much of the damage was caused
to material in the factory and to power
presses in the process of construction.
