WAS KILLED BY TRAIN.
Body of Unknown Man Found On
SeabOard Track.

A dispatch from Greenwood says
the body of an unknown man who
had been ground to death by a train
on the Seaboard Air Line was found
Friday near rSalak, three miles west
of town by a. gang OF railroad labor
ers. The body had rolled down an
embankment after being run over by
the train and was hidden from view
by vines and bushes. From all indi-
cations the man had been dead at
least ten days.
The body was horribly multilated
and the examining physician, DR.. j.
B. Owens, could nat be positive as to
color. From the hair he judged it to
be a white man. A piece Of paper, a
bill for goods sold, had the name "W.
E. Hosty" on it, and this so far is the
only clue upon which to go upon to
establish the unfortunates identity.
Coroner Shadrack empannelled a
jury of inquest this afternoon but
the jury could do very little other
then find verdict that the unknown
man came to his death by being run
over by a train. Who the man Is
or when the fatal accident happened
will likely remain a mystery. The
clothing was of an ordinary quail
ity, rather cheap, and appeared to
have seen considerable wear.

ANOTHER HUSBAND
TURNS UP IN MIDST OF A BLISS
Full HONEYMOON.
Woman Deserts Her Husband at
Jacksonville and Mar1ies Another
Man at HendersoElyille.

Finding that his bride Of only a
few days was not divorced woman
and that she had deceived him into
marrying her, young E. C. Howard,
prescription clerk III the local drug
store at Hendersonville, N. c., was
placed in a very peculiar predica-
ment when the first husband, w. V.
Henry, of Jacksonville, arrived in
Hendersonville in search of his wan
dering wife.
A bit of romance in attached to
the affair in spite of the evil wrought
and the young man is not so much
to blame as it looks. Several
months ago, about Hhe first of the
summer season Mrs. Annie L. Henry
as she called herself, went to Hen
dersonville for visit.
Young Howard, who Is said to be
from well-to-do family in the east
ern part of this state. met Mrs. Hen
ry and a close friendship resulted.
Later in the summer Mrs. Henry,
admitting she was married at that
time, stated to young Howard that
she would return - Jacksonville
and seek a divorce from her hus-
band.
Last Tuesday Mrs. Henry returned
to the city and Informed the youth
full lover that all was well, that she
had succeeded in getting a divorce,
and that their future happiness
would be shadowed nc longer. Young
Howard proceeded to get out license
papers and summoned a local magis-
trate who before several prominent
local witnesses, performed the cere-
mony.
All went well until last Sunday
morning, w. v. Henry, the first hus-
band, arrived in the city and regis
tered at the same hotel in which his
wife and her new husband were
boarding. Mr.. Henry at first would
not believe that his wife had marri-
ed another, but wien shown the
papers he was convinced.
Realizing that his wife had chang
ed her love for another, Henry de-
cided that with the exchange OF all
the valuables each had given the
other he would not push the mat
ter. but would leave his wife in the
hands of one who, though at first
deceived, was now willing to take
the consequences of the blunder he
had made.
Mr.. and Mrs. Howard left the
city last Monday for parts unknown
and Mr.. Henry returned to Jackson
vile.

ELECTS A NEW MAYOR.
Blackville Has An Exciting Election
Over Booze.

A special dispatch from Klackville
to "The State says the municipal
election there Monday, which result
ed in the selection of A. B. Hair as
mayor, afforded enough excitement
to last for long time.
The whiskey question played an
important part, and the town was
worked up. The prohibitionists put
out ticket headed by Charles Will
son, but another ticket was later
brought out which was also headed
by Mr.. WILSON,. Then the prohibition
lists demanded that he repudiate the
use of his name in connection with
the last ticket, and misunderstand-
ing arose which resulted in the pro-
hibitionists taking Mr.. Wilson's name
off their ticket, and substituting that
of A. B. Hair.
Interest was at fever heat, and
personal difficulties were narrowly
averted. However, the election pass
ed off without trouble, and the pro-
hibition ticket won. The women of
the to an held prayer meetings on
election das, praying for the success
of the dry" ticket. This was said
to be crucial test for Blackville in
the matter of enforcing the law
against the illegal sale of whiskey,
and the mayor and council elected
are determined on this course.

on the N. S. C. railway and may
not recover, his injuries being con-
sidered serious. The man was seated

condition and was rush

HIDE WONT HANG
HIS CASE TAKEN TO THE STATE
SUPREME COURT.
Governor Blease Refused to Reduce
the Sentence and the Appeal Was
Then Made.

Then Made.
A dispatch to The State from An
derson says a telegram was received
there Thursday from Governor Blease
brought the intelligence that he will
not interfere in the Samuel Hyde
case. The telegram came to Leon L.
Rice, who was appointed by the court
to defend Hyde, and who formulated
the petitions which were freely sign
ed, asking the governor to commute
the death sentence to life imprison-
ment. A counter petition was circu-
lated by Mrs. w. V. Beasley, mother
and wife of Hyde's victims, in the
Orr mill village, where the double
crime was committed. This petition
was signed by several hundred per-
sons.
Hyde killed his wife and her ia
ther on the night of July IS, was
convicted of the murder of the form
er at recent term of court, and was
sentenced to hang Friday, October
20. Hyde will not hang on this day;
however, as Attorney Rice has al
ready served notice on Solicitor Bon
am of an appeal to the Supreme
court. The appeal will hardly be
heard by that tribunal until next
January, and it is likely that de-
cision will not be handed down until
too late for the prisoner to be re-
sentenced at the January term OF
court be sustained. In that event,
and if the lower courts judgment is
affirmed, Hyde will be resentenced
next May.
Hyde sent for Attorney Rice and
stated that he understood the COVER
nor had stated he would not inter-
fere with the death sentence. Hyde
said he was ready to die, and. that
he was willing to let the matter stand
as it is and go to the gallows on the
day set. Mr.. Rice told Hyde that
he had determined to make as good
a fight for him AS he would for
wealthy client; that the court had
appointed him to conduct this case
and although Hyde and his family
have no money to pay the expense
of the appeal he intended to carry
the appeal up. Hyde then stated
that he was willing to do what the
attorney thought best to do in the
matter; that he was willing for the
appeal to be perfected, or he is
willing for the execution to take
place next Friday.

Well as Disease.

News was brought by the steamer
Empress Of Japan that thousands
are dying of starvation in Kiang Su,

The whole of the country was un-

dying daily from diseases.
In places the YAM. Use was thirl

said to be equally bad, beside other
forms of pestilence. The death rate
was reported to be between 200 and
800 a day. Food has been sent to
them, but it was almost impossible
for medical aid to effect any relief.

COOKED and EATEN
THE CANNIBALS CAUGHT AND
DEVOURED PEOPLE.
Rev. Frederick Daniels, a Mission
ary, and Others White, Victims
of the South Sen Islands.

A cablegram from Sydney, N. S.
W., says that news has just been
received of the murder. of several
Europeans in the South Sea Islands,
some of the victims being cooked
and eaten by the murderers.
The Rev. Frederick Daniels, the
Queensland missionary killed in the
Solomon Islands, was conducting a
Sunday service in the open air when
suddenly shot was fired by a
native who was concealed in the
scrub. The bullet struck the mis-
sionary in the breast. He fell back
wards, nurmured, Lord, save me-"
and then died.
1t is supposed that Mr.. Daniels
was shot because he was mission
ary. "The natives" says an officer
of the mission, take pride in get
ting scalps, so to speak. and the
murder of a white man Is special
glory. Mr.. Daniels Is the first white
missionary to be killed in the Sol
omon Islands.
From New Caledonia comes an
account of the butchering of
family of three, father, mother, and
child. The name of the victims was
devaux. There is no clue to the
perpetrators of the crime. The bod
les had been treated with great
brutality.
The French warship Korsaint has

rage at Maewo, one Of the north
ern islands of the New Hebrides
group, two French residents, named
Gerlin ad Baleu, having been killed
by natives and afterwards eaten.
