HIS BACK WAS BROKEN.
But Pickering, a Football Player, is
Recovering.

Utica, N. Y, Dec. 21.-Joseph
Pickering, Of Athens, Pa, the Gaze
novia seminary student who suffered
a broken back during football game
at Hamilton nearly two months ago,
and who was brought to hospital in
this city and operated upon by DR.: J.
H. Glass, is rapidly recovering. The
young man is able to leave his bed
daily for time, and in few weeks
will go to his home. DR.. Glass said:
Il have taken the cast of the pa
tient and do not think it will be
necessary to apply it again, as he
seems to be able to get along without
it. The paralysis is steadily subsid-
ing, and Mr. Pickering is learning to
walk with the support on either side.
The whole arch of the fifth vertebrae
is missing but new bone cells are
forming, and in time nature will, l
believe, completely restore the broken
part. 1 expect that the young man in
time will be perfectly well again.

JEALOUSY CAUSES TRAGEDY.
Miner Stays His Wife, Her Mother, 6
Neighbor and Himself.

London, KY, December 22.-A
triple murder and suicide occurred at
Pittsburg, KY, mining village, to-
day, when William Murray, a miner,
shot and killed his wife and her
mother and Elbert Cole and himself.
Murray's objections to the alleged at
tentions of Cole to Mrs. Murray are
given as the cause of the crimes.
Cole, who was son of Assistant
Mine Inspector Perry c. Cole, was 22
years old. He was manager of gen.
eral store, in which he was slain.
Murray entered the store and with
out word shot Cole. Then be went
to his home near by and shot his
mother-in-law as she was leaving the
house. He then shot his wife, who
was returning from visit to neigh
bor. He dragged his wife within the
yard, laid her dying beside the body
of her mother and fired a bullet

REQUISITION REFUSED.
Governor Of Tennessee Declines to
Surrender Man Wanted.

Columbia, Dec. 22.-The question
of the comfy Of States will very
likely be brought into discussion on
account of the refusal of Governor
Patterson, of Tennessee, to honor the
reuuisition of Governor Ansel for G.
J. Hebert, whom the Richland coun-
ty solicitor is trying to bring back to
Columbia to stand trial here for con-
spiracy in connection with the deal
between the Seminole Securities Con-
pany and the Southern Life of North
Carolina. Hebert has been arrested
in Chattanooga.
The refusal came in the nature OF
a short letter from the private Sec
retary of Governor Patterson, which
read:
Il am directed by Governor Pat
terson to inform you that for good
and sufficient reasons presented to
him he has declined to honor your
requsition for G. J. Hebert."
This is the first time in Governor
Ansel's administration that requi-
sition has been so treated. Governor
Ansel is in Washington; so, there
fore, little could be learned concern
ing the incident. When he returns
he will very likely write the Governor
of Tennessee for an explanation.
Secretary Bethea stated tonight
that Governor Ansel would very
probably take the matter up on his
return and ask the Governor of Ten
nessee why the requisiton had not
been honored. The proceeding is a
very unusual one, and the letter re-
ceived here to-day gave no intimation
of the reasons for the refusal to hon
or the request of Governor Ansel.
A few days ago it was announced
that Hebert had cen arrested in
Chattanooga and that requisition pa
pers had been sent.
The Seminole scandal is too well
known to need rehearsing and Hebert
is one of those who is charged with
wrong-doing in connection with the

SENATOR M'LAURIN DEAD.
Mississippi Legislator Passes Away
Very Suddenly.

Jackson, Miss, December 81
United States Senator A. j. McLaurln
died suddenly tonight at his home
in Brandon. Death was due to an at
tack Of heart failure and came with
out the slightest warning at $50
o'clock.
When the fatal stroke came upon
him Senator McLaurin was seated IN
a rocking chair in front of the fire
place in his library. He suddenly fell
forward, without speaking a word.
and life was extinct when members
of his family reached his side. The
swift summons of death followed
within a few moments remark by
Senator McLaurin that he was then
feeling better than he had felt at
any time since his recent severe i'll
ness, resulting from an attack of
ptomaine poisoning. No announce
ment as to the funeral arrangements
had been made at a late hour to-
night.
AS to a successor to Senator Nc
Laurin, it is pointed out that an ap-
pointment might be Immediately
made by Governor Noel, or selected
by the State Legislature, which will
convene early in January.

DOGS DRUNK ON FUMES.
Pittsburg Ours Not Mad, But Merely
EXhilarated Like Some of the
Speeders.

Pittsburg, Dec. 20.-The Pittsburg
police department, after an exhaus-
tive investigation, has decided that
the alleged epidemic of hydrophobia
among dogs here is little more or
less than a plain case of drunken
ness among the dogs-drunkenness
from the fumes of gasoline escaping
from automobiles.
Captain of Police Ford declares he
has discovered the dogs became drunk
like the chauffeurs who speed. Both
get intoxicated, he says, on gasoline
fumes. The captain explains that
there is a habit prevalent among the
chaffeurs of drinking gasoline. The
fumes from this oil exhilirates the
imbiber and gives him nerve to clip
curves and corners.
The dog acquires the gasoline fume
drunk habit through running after
automobiles. The dog then gets into
the same class as the gasoline ex-
hilarated auto driver and does wild
and ungovernable things. The dogs
are not mad, they're drunk, says the
captain.

Who Will Succeed Him.

Jackson, Miss, Dec. 22.-Former
Governor James K. Vardeman and
Senator-elect John Sharp Williams
are mentioned in connection with
the selection of a successor to COM
plete the urexpired term of the late
Senator McLaurin. Several months
ago, Mr.. Vardeman announced his
candidacy for the subsequent term.
Governor Noel stated tonight that
he would not announce for some days
as to whether he would appoint a
successor to Senator McLaurin or re-
fer the selection to the Legislature,
which will convene in regular session
early next month. Should he make
the selection, however, he stated that
the names of Congressman Byrd,
Bowers and Gambler and several 9TH
ers would be considered in connection
with the appointment.
