ACCUSES TWO WHITE MEN.
Alleged Attempt to Assault at Den
mark Station.

Bamberg, April 14.-Lee Bam-
berg, of this county, and Raymond
Marshall, formerly of Florida, now
night operator at the Denmark rail-
way station, both white men of prom
inent families, are in Jail at Bam-
berg, charged with attempted GRIM
inal assault upon young married
woman of Olar. According to in
formation here, the attempted as
sault is alleged to have been made
at Denmark on Thursday night, while
the young woman was awaiting a
train at Denmark. A preliminary
hearing will be held tomorrow
morning, and it is stated that the wo-
man will appear and testify. Both
the accused men are we'll known,
and of prominent families, and the
affair has caused widespread COM
ment. Consequently, much interest
attends the hearing tomorrow.
At Denmark Station.
Bamberg and Marshall were ar
rested by the Denmark town marshal
on Thursday night upon the COM
plant of the young woman, and
brought here to Jail. 1t is stated
that she was in the passenger sta
ton waiting for the train to Augusta
on Thursday night, and that while
there she was approached by one of
the men and told that her train was
nearing the station. 1t proved to be
an incoming freight. One of the
men, it is stated, carried her bag
gage into the station yards, and ac-
cording to the claims Of the woman,
an attempt at assault was made when
the trio reached the yards.
Summoned Town Marshal.
Summoning the marshal, the wo-
man caused the arrest of the two
men, following which She boarded
her train and went on to Augusta.
Whether or not she will appear in
Bamberg tomorrow and prosecute
the case, is not definitely known, al
though it has been stated that she
will be here. The friends of the two
men hold to the belief that there is
some mistake and that at the investl-
cation they will be able to clear
themselves.

Killed by Dynamite.

Rocky Mount, N. c., April 13.-
While blowing up stumps with dyna-
mite yesterday afternoon near Nash
Vile in some manner portion OF
the dynamite was accidentally ex-
ploded, the result being that Wood
row Parish was literally blown to
pieces, while Charlie Lucas sustain
ed serious injury.
How the accident occurred can
never be learned until Mr.. Lucas has
recovered sufficiently to give the de-
tails. owing to the fact that these
two gentlemen were the only ones
present. Mr.. Parish, who is broth
er to Officer Parish of this city, is
fraternal man of renown in Nash and
Edgecombe counties, being one OF
the most successful and highly re-
spected men in Eastern North Caro-
lima. He was picked up shortly al
ter the explosion and taken to his
home, and after lingering throughout
the hours of the early evening he
passed away shortly after l o'clock
this morning without regaining con-
sciousness. He leaves a wife and sew
eral children to mourn his untimely
end.

Up to the House.

While Eugene Field was working
On the Denver Republican he was an
earnest and ardent patron of BOD
Stockton's bar, Immediately across
the street from the Republican office
He ran a bar bill of $50 in one
month. The proprietor, says Every
body's Magazine, dunned him for 1t
frequently, but never cut OF his
credit, for the patronage of Gene
was worth more to him than the $50.
At last, despairing of ever getting his
money, and thinking to make
strong hit with "Gene,' he made out
a receipted bill, and, calling Field
aside, presented it to him.
Then he waited. But Field merely
stood in an expectant attitude, hold
ing the bill.
We'll, why don't you say some
thing?" Stockton demanded at last.
"Well, Bob" rejoined Field, what
does the house usually do when
man pays his bill?''

STEAMSHIP LOST AT SEA.
LARGEST SHIP AFLOAT LOST ON
HER MAIDEN TRIP.
Steamer Titanic Strikes Iceberg and
Goes DoWn-Estimate is 1872
People Lost.

Monday of this week the largest
ocean liner afioat,. the Titanic, struck
an iceberg on her way to New York
from England, and was so badly
damaged that she sunk in less than
four hours. The wireless telegraph
summoned ships to her aid, but as
the nearest was $50 miles away, they
reached her too late to rescue any of
the survivors. The death list num-
bers a little more than 1900. Most
of those saved from the sinking ship
were women and children, it appear
ing that the men were heroic and
faced death in saving the small boats
of the ship for the women and chill
dren. The steamer carried more
than 1900 passengers and crew of
about 400. About S6S people were
rescued.
The steamer Carpath picked up
the survivors who took to the boats,
and she is proceeding to New York.
AS yet the full story of the disaster
is not known, but the loss of life is
appalling. Other ships went to the
rescue of the Titanic, but she had
already sunk when they arrived.
Many of the wealthiest people of the
country were passengers and were
lost. Maj. Archie Butt, military
aide to President Taft, is among the
missing. The awful disaster has
caused a wave of horror over the
entire country, and the affair is be-
ing discussed in every city and ham,
let. This was the first trip of the
Titanic, the building of which cost
about s1O,O00,0O0. This is no doubt
the greatest marine disaster which
has ever happened. The accident is
said to have been caused by the ship
taking a shorter and more dangerous
route across the ocean.

back here for?" the parent inquired
in no pleasant tone. Il sent you to

Il know you did," Willie replied;
but you see, it was this way. The

Murderer Cheats GalloWs.

A special from Columbus, Ca, Fri
day morning said:
James Jefferson, who was to have
been hanged to-day, committed sui
eide early this morning in his cell
by taking poison. Jefferson killed
Policeman Marion Merchant several
months ago while resisting arrest.
Repeated efforts to have Governor
Brown interfere with death sentence
being carried out failed. Jefferson
lost all hope. Where he got the drug
is not known.
In declining to commute the death
sentence imposed upon James Jeffer-
son, the Columbus, Ca, man who
shot and killed a policeman named
Marchant, Governor Brown complete
ly disregarded the unanimous recon-
mendations of the prison commits
siont
In the recommendation to the gov
ernor the prison commission declares
this case presents a typical case for
the exercise of the pardoning power. )"
1t is also pointed out that every
one of the jurors who tried Jefferson
have under oath declared if they had
been familiar with the facts which
have come to light since the trial
they would not have convicted the
defendant without recommended
ton to life Imprisonment.

YOUNG COLLETON MAN SHOT.
Jack Herndon Probably Mortally
Wounded by Killer Evans.

Walterboro, April 15.-Kiler
Evans, young white man of Stokes,
is in Jail, charged with shooting and
probably mortally wounding Jack
Hernndon. The shooting took place
Sunday afternoon about three miles
from Walterboro on the public road,
near L. H. Zeigler's.
Young Evans is son of B. w.
Evans and is about 20 years of age.
His version of the killing is as fol-
lows: Tudor Evans, cousin of his,
has been paying some attention to a
Miss Herndon and was told that
Killer Evans had made some deroga-
tory remark regarding her. AT
Grace church Sunday Tudor
Evans asked Killer about this report.
He denied having made the state
ment and asked Tudor Evans if that
settled it. Tudor replied that he was
going to trace the matter out. When
the services were over Killer Evans,
Jack Wilson, and Jim Hiott got in
Wilson's buggy and started home.
Tudor Evans and his brother, SWint,
and Jack Herndon followed them and
when short. distance from the
church, turned out of the road, and
taking a circuitous route, came out
ahead of these boys, and stopped at
place where they were certain to
meet them. Tudor Evans got piece
of rail, leaning it against his buggy.
Jack Herndon hitched his mule and
made a remark that he was going to
beat hell out of Killer Evans. Tudor
Evans then got on Herndon's mule
and started off to find Ben Herndon,
the brother of the girl, and to whom
the alleged statement had been
made. While he was gone Killer
Evans tried to go by on to his home.
Herndon came to his buggy ana
threatened to beat him and got in the
buggy after him. Evans jumped out
and ran around the buggy time or
two with Herndon after him, strlk-
ing at him with knucks. Evans told
Herndon to stop and shot one time
on the ground to scare him. Hern-
don coming on, he fired again, strlk-
ing him in the right side.
It is understood that there was
some whiskey in the crowd, and that
perhaps a number of the party were
drinking.
Young Herndon is in a critical con-
dition and the physician who was
summoned to attend him reports that
he is mortally wounded and that ne
can live but a short while. Killer
