REFUSED TEN THOUSAND.
Methodist Minister Couldn't Be Brib-
ed to Marry Them.

That a Methodist minister OF a
little church near Newport, Il. l., re-
fused a check Of $4,000 to perform
the marriage ceremony of Col. John
Jacob Astor and Miss Madeline Tai
mage Force, was the announcement
of Bishop John w. Hamilton, of New
York, before the Methodist Confer
ence at Antio, Wis, Friday.
The information was contained In
letter which the Bishop read, but
refused to divulge the name of the
Clergyman who rejected the PROPOSE
ton. The minister's self-denial was
great, the Bishop said, because of the
fact that he was burdened with debts.
When the story leaked out, accord
ing to the Bishops information, a
wealthy layman of the Methodist
Church offered the clergyman of the
humble parish an equal sum to re-
compensate him for the loss, but this
tender was refused, the ilergylan
saying he had only done his duty.
The name of the minister is F. l..

KILLED IN WRECK
Passenger Train Crash Into Switch
Engine and Cars.

Passengers, aboard the Southern
railway, train that collided with a
switch engine on Peachtree Creek
trestle near Atlanta Friday night
were forced to spend the night in
the coaches OF the train at the scene
Of the wreck. Marooned above the
creek were nearly $50 persons, many
or them injured, waiting for relief
which the inaccessibility Of the place
rendered difficult.
All night long members of work
ing crews struggled to remove mass
of scrap iron, oncs the switch esgine
which toppled over when struck by
the passenger train, to rescue the
.mangled bodies of Engineer j. A.
Ferrie and Fireman N. M. Robinson,
the only persons killed.
On one side of the passenger train
were the wrecked freight cars that
were attached to the switch engine.
A single plank across the deep, swift
running waters of the creek afforded
the only means of access to the train.
After crossing the plank high bank
had to be scaled before the train
could be reached.

HYDE WILL HANG.
Many Think That He Is Not Right
in the Upper Story.

Samuel N. Hyde, who was recently
convicted at Anderson, of the muir
der of his wife, was Friday afternoon
sentenced by Judge Prince to hang on
Friday, October 20. When asked by
the Court if there was any reason
why the death sentence should not
be pronounced, Hyde, in d strong,
clear voice, stated, in substance, that
the witnesses, referring to the mother
Of Mrs. Hyde and brother-in-law, j.
P. Moore, had sworn falsely when
they testified that he had made his
home unpleasant and that he was
cruel to his wife; that his wife was
the only woman he ever loved.
"If," he said, 1.-The jury and Court
believe it to the best interest Of my
little son that I forfeit my life, then
am ready and willing to pay the
penalty"
There are many who followed the
case of Hyde closely, who believe
that he is not sane man, and among
those there is some talk of circulating
petitions asking Governor Blease to
commute his sentence to life impris-
onment.

MAN STUNG TO DEATH.
Mosquitoes Attack His Nude Body as
1t Lay in Swamp.


The wreaking of terrible vengeance
upon q foe is believed to have been
the cause of the death of white
man whose body was found in the
swamps of White Grass Island, in
the Gulf of Mexico, last week. The
hands and feet were bound by cords
to a stake driven into theearth. The
man had been dead for over week.
Hunters say that in his nude condi-
ton he must have been stung to
death within a few hours.
The police believe that the man
was the victim of revenge. That part
OF the swamp where the body was
found is alive with unusually large
MOSQUITOES, and hunters who go there
fer ducks must muffle their faces
and encase their hands in heavy NIT
tens to protect themselves.
The authorities, convinced that
the man was a victim of revenge,
have set about trying to solve the
mystery and that, because Of the ex-
quisite torture and extreme cruelty
to which the victim must have been
subjected before death relieved his
sufferings, there must have been a
woman concerned in the mysterious
death,

term expires In the early part of next
year.
Mr.. Norton is former member Of
