Enraged because she had repeatedly
rejected his offers of marriage, B. +.
Names, prominent business man
of Abbeville, Ga, yesterday afternoon
shot and fatally injured Mrs. Virginia
Royal; instantly killed her sister, Mrs.
Cole H. Williams, and then turned
the pistol on himself, putting bullet
in his head. His wound will also prove
fatal. The tragedy occurred at the
home of Mrs. Williams, with whom
Mrs. Royal resided.
Names had asked Mrs. Royal, who
is young and wealthy widow, to wed
him, but she refused. Names thought
the refusal was due to the influence
of Mrs. Williams.
After drawing his will and paying
all his debts, Maness went to the home
of Mrs. Williams and asked fol Mrs.
Royal. Mrs Williams said her sister
was sick and asked Names to leave.
Names drew 4 pistol and shot Mrs.
Williams dead. Going into Mrs. Royal $
room, he shot her through the body
as she lay in bed. Then he turned the
pistol on himself, and fell across the
MORALLY wounded woman.
The husband of Mrs. Williams, who
is a physician, was summoned, and
found his wife dead and his sister-in-law
and her admirer dying. All the parties
are members of leading families and
are prominent socially.

Merry-(:o-Roun Bees Fight.

Beverly, N. j., Sept. 20.-Working
more than 100 feet in air, painters en-
ployed by ex-N1ayor Fish were attacked
by a vicious swarm Of bees on st.
Stephens Church steeple yesterday.
The reasons for the attack were that
the bees use the top OF the steeple for 4
hive and the weather vane surmount-
ing this as a merry go-round. Beverly
residents can never tell the real direc-
ton of the wind, rs the honey-gatherers
in thesr gambols fly against the vane
in punches, with such force as to set it
spinning, by which daily sport they
contrive to use it as a merry-go-round.
Although the painters were willing to
paint artificial honeysuckles on the con-
trivance, the bees were obstinately de-
elmined not to be disturbed, and
promptly descended on the men. As
soon as they could get the scaffold
working, the painters descended. ward
ing off the bees with their paint brush
es. They were severely stung.

Chandler and CavaIleri.

New York, Sept. 20.-Whatever
else he may have been, the friends OF
Robert w. Chandler, husband OF Lima
Cavalier, are satisfied that he wasn't
"pikcr" in his wooing Of the bust
ness like cnchantress. For proof. they
point to items in the bills OF various
creditors who are now suing Sheriff
Rob" among which are S24 pair
of trousers, twelve white waistcoats,
and little lunch at Martins that came
t, $S.15.
The lunch bill isn't considered cX-
cessivc as it included from cocktails 10
raw apples, nor are the twelve waist
coats thought too many for we'll
groomed wooer OF operate stars, But
every one on Br, adway is agreed that
S24 ought to buy dream Of pair OF
trousers and there is general regret that
Chancr didn't leave the price tag on
when he wore ha creation.

SEE END or CHOLERA.

The phenomenon Of the liquefactlon
of the blood of st. Januarius took place
in Naples after prayers lasting tlfty-tive
minutes. A great multitude was pres
cnt. The people interpret the rapidlty
of the liquefaction is proof that the
peril from cholera is over.
In the great church there are pre-
served the head and some OF the blood
'of Januarius, bishop Of Bcnvenuto, who
was beheadcd for the faith near Puteoll.
The blood, it is related, was gathered
from the ground by a poor woman at
the time Of the martyrdom, and IN
closed in two small glass walls.
On several occasions, it is recorded,
his relics were carried in procession
during eruptions of Vesuvius.
The standing miracle Of the lique-
faction of the blood Of st. Januarlus
consists in bringing the CONCEALED pieces
near to the head, the vials being placed
on the altar and prayer being made.
After a longer or shorter interval the
blood is said to become liquid and to
flow.

German Socialists.

Magdeburg, Germany, Sept. 20.-A bit
ter debate, threatening at times to split
the German socialist party, took place at
today's session OF the annual congress.

grand ducal government on numerous
occasions and is voting for the budget

dictment Of the alleged weakness Of the
Baden socialists sin thus comprising
with the grand ducal government" He
characterized their course as traitorous
and withstood violent attempt by his
opponents to cry him down. Bebel's
whole speech was a PASSIONATE plea for
adherence TO the undiluted revolution
AIRY principles which he declared to be
the foundation Of the socialist move
ment. The revolutionary socialists, as
opposed to the revolutionists. however,
seemed to be in the majority. DR.. Sude-

Roosevelt Will Not Talk.

New York, Sept. 20.-The barometer
was very low i'll the Office OF the con-
tributing editor at the Outlook this
morning and there was no welcome"
on the map for the score Of cores
pondcnts who sought from Mr.. Roose-
welt his impressions Of the success at
tending his conference with the Prcsi-
dent at New Haven yesterday. The
former president was late in arriving
ut his office and quick in shutting the
door behind him. Word was sent out
that there would be no statement for
the newspaper men other than that
there will be no compromise in the
state campaign" Just exactly what
bearing this had on yesterdays meet
ing could not be stated, but it was the
general impression Of those who have
been closely enough associated with
Roosevelt to know his moods and
methods, that nothing in yesterdays
encounter with the president had given
him grounds for cxutation.
Mr.. Roosevelt today accepted an
invitation to address the National
League of Republican Clubs at Car
negie Hall next Friday afternoon.
President Taft and Vice President Sher-
man will be the speakers at the leagues
banquet the following evening. Roose-
welt was invited to the banquet, but
pleaded a previous engagement.

SAW A SEA SERPENT.

Captain J. E. Haggart, OF the gull
fisheries steamer Avalon, and six men,
beers of the crew swear they saw sea
serpent in the Gulf Of Mexico, just
north OF Campechy, Mexico, three days
ago.
The descriptions Of the serpent tally
precisely, except as to length, which
varies from rs to 100 feet. Attention
was attracted to a great commotion in
the water about 800 feet from the YES
sci at 9 O'Clock in the morning rs the
serpent rose to the surface.
1t appeared to be about 25 feet wide
and with fins stretching out about Is
feet from tip to tip, tapering to neck
and tail, The snake like head was Wis
blc and the mouth opened large enough,
to admit Il barrel.
An attempt was made to lower a life
boat for better inspection, when a
swish of the tail smashed the boat to
pieces against the side of the vessel.
After remaining on the surface OF the
water for half an hour the monster
slowly disappeared.
Two of the fisheries vessels have been
equipped with harpoons attached to
cables, whaling outfit and other APP
paratus 10 kill the monster and will de-
vote several days to the search. No At
tempt will be made to take the serpent

INVESTIGATION BEGUN.

The special committee created by
the democratic state central commit
tee to make an investigation of the
Congressional primary held in the
Second district OF Virginia on August
%. met yesterday in Norfolk, as was
stated in the Gazette of that day.
The committee is composed OF nine
members, one from each Congression-
al district in the state, except the
Second.
Major Mcintyre, OF Warrenton, was
designated by the central committee
as chairman. Mr.. Carson was made
secretary.
Chairman Mcintyre in a vigorous
sneech declared 1t to be the desire OF
tile committee to give every element
OF the democratic party in the district
A chance TO be heard. We are here"
he said, to find out what is the local
trouble with the democratic party
here. We expect to give what we
we're sent here for, full, free ana
fair investigation OF the primary,
not in the interest OF Young or May
nard, but OF the democratic party"
The question then arose as to how
the investigation should proceed. At
torneys for Congressman Maynard, ap-
parently defeated i'll the primary for a
denomination thought that they should
have five days in which to prepare their
case, and attorneys for Young thought
that they should have five days in
which to reply. E. A. Billisoly, one
Of the lawyers looking out for the in
tcrest of tho people and leader in the
fight for the investigation, thought that
FIVE days would be ample time for the
filing of charges by both sides, and the
committee finally determined that
the charges, specifications or bills OF
particulars rs to fraudulent, irregular
or unlawful acts in the conduct OF the
primary" be filed by September % and
all answers by September y.
Another resolution directed that the
democratic city and county chairmen
Immediately submit to subcommittee
composed of Nlcssrs. Mcintyre, Aiswortli
and Echols, the poll books and ballots
used in the primary, where they will
be at the disposal OF all parties con-
ccrncd. The poll books and ballots OF
The city af Norfolk were first called for,
but Chairman Schenck was out OF the
city and they could not be produced.
Under the direction of the sub-commlt.
lee the examination Of the poll books
will commence today.

VIII Drape Nude Statues.

Harrisburg, Sept. o0.-In a letter
from Paris to the Harrisburg Star
Independent. George Gray Barnard,
the sculptor, who made the marble
groups for the front ofthe Capitol, says
that the nude statues will be SO draped
with marble as to give no offense.
The state meeting OF the Ancient Order
OF Hibernians, at its meeting in Scran-
ton some time ago, protested against
the placing OF the Barnard groups be-
cause of their nudity, and other organl-
cations were about to follow suit.
Barnard says these groups were ready
10 ship to Harrisburg some time ago;
but by the orders Of the commission,
he held them Lack three mouths and
they will now arrive here some time in
October. He is particularly anxious
to impress upon the people the fact that
the statues will be draped.

LIVING in fats drives people insane,

Chicapo's institution for the insane at
Dunning and an authority on diseases
OF the mind. DR.. PodStata also credits
whisky with doing its share in increas-
ing the mentally deficient class, but he
repudiates the theory OF DR.. Forbes

within 40 years the insane will out
number the sane The cramped cx-
istence that f1aus and tcncments compel,
develops a nervous insanity never cX-
perienced by those who lived more out

asserts that the marriage laws should
be regulated so that degncnerates,
habitual drunkards and those afflicted
with blood diseases could not marry,
and that there should be sterilization OF
deperates and hopeless detectives.

New Jersey Republicans.

Trenton, N. j., Sept. 20.-When
the republican state convention was
called to order at the Taylor Opera
House shortly after noon today, it was
conceded that Vivian M. Lewis, state
commissioner Of banking and insur-
ance, would be chosen on the first bal
lot, as the gubernatorial candidate to
oppose Woodrow Wilson. Lewis had
no opposition, and, aside from few
complimentary votes, was expected to
roll practically the entire first ballot.
While Lewis was the choice OF both the
regular and progressive factions, he
and the state leaders were at odds al
most until the moment of the opening
OF the convention over some of the
planks in the platform.
As finally adopted the platform was
one OF the most radical ever adopted by
q New Jersey convention, rivalling in
many respects those adopted by west
ern out-and.out insurgents conventions.
