sational shooting at Waxhaw, which
is about 25 miles from Charlotte:
"a long distance telephone mess
age from Waxhaw last night convey
ed to officers in Charlotte intelli-
gence Of one of the most sensational
shootings that ever occurred in this
section of the State.
"While Rev. William Mcdonald,
of Waxhaw, was on his knees engag-
ed in prayer in front of the pulpit of
his church, and surrounded by his
congregation, three pistol shots rang
out on the night air, one going wild
and two striking the minister in his
left side. one inflicting wound that
is serious though not necessarily ia
tai. The shots were fired through the
rear window of the church and all
were aimed at the colored preacher,
one inflicting the fearful wound, a
second striking the watch. in his vest
pocket and glancing, and the third
burying itself in the floor. The con-
gregation Immediately dispersed,
some hurrying into the town to noti-
fly the officers while others scattered
to find out who had fired the shots.
No clues were discovered, no one in
the confusion being able to find out
anything. The shooting took place
in prayer and hence no one saw the
face at the window when the pistol
was sighted. Mcdonald had been
shepherding the Waxhaw flock only
about four months.

Help Mother Sees Children Burned
to Death.

Wilmington, Del, Feb. 4.-Trap-
ped in the attic of a blazing farm
house while their helpless mother
looked on, powerless to aid them,
four children were burned to death
late last night. The mother. Mrs.
Sarah Tatum, to-day is in critical
condition from the shock.
All were asleep when the fire
broke out. Mrs. Tatum fed from
her burning room, and when she at
tempted to return and rouse her
children, was driven back by sheets
of flames.
The children were awakened, how
ever, and though partly overcome by
smoke, were able to crawl to the
window. There they begged her to
save chem, but seemed unwilling OF
unable to jump.

MISUNDERSTANDING of Gridiron
Club.
Washington. D. c.. Feb'y s. 1910.
Special TO the The Caucasian:
The Gridiron Club. composed of
newspaper men in Washington, gave
silver dinner at the New Willard
Hotel Saturday night, marking the
twenty-fifth anniversary of the foun-
dation of the club. A great number
of prominent persons attended the
banquet President Taft, Cabinet of
GERS, Ambassadors, Senators, Con-
gressmen and the entire newspaper
fraternity were in attendance After
spending an evening of fun, produced
by the newspaper men, each visitor
carried away silver souvenir of the
occasion.
1t was stated tonight, though un-
officially, that there will be no pro-
vision in the postoffice appropriation
bill providing for an increase in sec
ond class mail matter. The bill,
which is now practically completed,
will be reported to the house some
time next week. 1t will carry an ap-
preparation of s245, 100000, or an
| increase of about $S,0O0.OO0 over
last year.
A joint resolution authorizing the
Secretary of war to loan certain tents
belonging to the army to veterans for
use at the Confederate reunion to be
held at Mobile. Ala, in April, passed
the Senate Monday with only one
dissenting vote. The Senate thus
shows that 1.-The war is over and
that all sectional feelings have pass
ed away. Some of the politicians in
the South who try to raise the issue
! for campaign purposes, would do
we'll to take note of the action of
the Senate.
Some facts were brought to light
before the elections committee of the
House to-day that may deprive Rep
| resentative E. w. Saunders (Demo-
crat) of his seat in Congress. John
NJ. Parsons, who was the Republican
Virginia District last fall, is contest
| ing Mr.. Saunders election, who, on
the face of the election returns re-
ceived plurality Of so votes. Mr..
Parsons alleges that a crazy man
named Elliott G. Matthews, was al
| lowed to place his name on the bal
| lot last fall as a candidate for Con-
gress against himself and Mr.. SauD-
ders, and that he (Matthews) re-
ceived a number of votes at the cleo
ton Mr. Parsons also alleges that
the district was unlawfully gerry
manded against him, and that many
| other irregularities occurred. The
outcome of this case will be watched
with a great deal of interest.
The federal incorporation bill was
introduced in Congress to-day and
was referred to the Judiciary Com
mittees for consideration.
| 1t is approximated that $40, 0,000,-
900 will be carried in the Rivers and
Harbors appropriation bill for the
next fiscal year. The bill will be
reported to the House probably on
| Friday.
