ancient bed of the Thames river.
There Is no reason to believe that
the elevation or depression Of the
land, which leads to the rise and fall
in the level of the river, has not been
uniform. The past must be judged
from what we know Of the present,
and on this basis the land movement
which formed the terrace, and which
has scarcely changed since the Roman
period, has been deposited at the rate
of one foot in 1000 years, this as

years since the high-level terrace was

People Are Liberal In Their contribu-

Associations.

This year Young Mems Christian as
Bociations are likely, 1t is said, to
break all records in amount Of money
raised for new buildings. The success
at Philadelphia, when $1,030,000 was
secured in twelve days, has given
stimulus both to Young Mems and
Young Women's associations. Added
to it was the $2,O0o,0O0 campaign for
buildings in foreign capitals. Brook
lyn women, with the aid Of few men,
have just secured $415,00O; Atlanta
men, 100000; Reading, s217OO0;i

fnittee asked for but 100000; Charles
ton, S. c., $4,000; Raleigh. N c..

and Ishpeming, Mich, $22,50O. Asso-
citation leaders say three things help
them in getting these large sums:
Christian unity, short and public ap-
peal, and real results accomplished in
buildings already erected.

coming down slipped and with one
foot caught in the forks of a limb,
hung head downward.
A careful investigation of the vi
ctnity shows that the hunter for whom
he was driving might have been ap-
preaching this tree from any one OF
several different directions where a
glimpse through the trees would
show him Bonner's head but not his
body. Men who went to the scene cir
cled around the tree and found sew.
eral places where such view might
be had.
At distance of 80 or rs yards 1t
can be easily understood that hunt
er seeing some strange object hang
ing from a limb of tree would fire.
Even If he were thinking of his COM
panion he would not expect to see
him hanging head downward from
tree.
Bonner had been shot twice In the
head and once in the jaw. The theory
of those who have been working on
the case Is that the Missourian when
he found he had shot his driver,
walked back to a railroad station and
left the country. The man supposed
to have done the shooting is bust
ness man of considerable property,
who was here looking after some In
vestments.
Any robbery theory that might sug.
gest itself Is disposed of by the rela-
tive financial condition of thu two
men. The hackman had nothing.
while the Missourian had plenty OF
money.
Bonner's team was found In posses
sion OF farmer near by. The farmer
said two men came to his place and
left the team, saying they. would be
back In a few hours. They never came,
and the farmer has been using the
team In putting in his crop.
The authorities have not considered
arresting the Missouri man, but he
will be asked to make statement OF
the affair. On account Of his stand
ing and the absence OF any ground
for suspecting the shooting to be pre-
meditated, the coroner and sheriff
have declined to give the name OF the
Missourian. There was no acQuatnt-
ance between the men prior TO the
tfme Bonner was hired to take the
hunter out into the country.
