HOB0kEN MAN SHOOTS HIS WIFE,
HIS SON AND THEN HIMSELF
X. OFP. TO FIGHT
CASE TO The END
STATE LAW MAY BE ENFORCED
TO BAR The COLoRED
LODGES.

Savannah, June 13.-Hon. george
7. Cam, until last month grand chan
cellor of the knights Of Pythias of
Georgia, states that the decision of
the United States supreme court sus-
tanning the right of negro Knights Of
Pythias lodges to exist, will have no
effect in Georgia if the Pythians of
the state wish to pursue their fight
against the blacks further.
Under a state law all organizations
Of his character must be chartered
by the state and failure to secure such
charter before organizing is a mis-
demeanor. Although this law was
passed three years ago no effort has
been made to enforce it, pending the
action of the federal supreme court
upon the points raised in the original
petition against the negroes.
The state law was passed at the
request of the white Knights, and it
is expected now that its enforcement
will be urged

CUBA OBJECTS TO
COMING OF WOOD
PROPOSITION TO SEND OFFICERS
ON MISSION TO ISLAND is
DISFAVORED.

Havana, June 13.-Secretary of che
Interior Bru informed the Associated
Press today that the Irol losition to
send Major General Leonard Wood or
Brigadier General EnOch Fl. Crowder
on mission to Cuba would be regard
ed with disfavor by the government
if they came with authority to ar
range terms of settlement between the
government and insurgents.
The Cuban government fears that
if a mission from the United States
We're to have authority to arrange a
settlement, it might involve recogni-
ton Of some demands of the negroes.
The only concession the Cuban gov
ernment was willing to make was the
allowance of few days grace to the
rebels in which to surrender, after
which the only course open TO the
government would be 10 proceed to

ability to do this with promptitude

NO MORE ENTRIES
NOW EXPECTED
WALKER AND PARKER WILL
PROBABLY FIGHT 1T OUT FOR
CONGRESSIONAL 7oNoRS.

While there have been various ru-
mors Of new entries into the con-
gressional race in the Eleventh dis
trict ever since the retirement of Col.
J. A. J. Henderson of Ocilla, it now
seems more than probable that the
race will be between Colonel J.
Randall Walker of Naldosta, and
Judge T. A Parker of Waycross.
AS soon as Mr. Henderson announc-
ed MS retirement from the race re-
EOrts came from Douglas that two
or three prominent lawyers of that
place were contemplating entering
the race. It vas announced that Judge
J. w, Quincy had practically decided
to shy his castor into the contest and
that his formal announcement would
be Forthcoming within few days. but
it is now understood that Judge
Quincy has decided not to become a
candidate.
The race between Judge Packer and
Colonel Walker promises to be an
unusually interesting one. With FIVE
or six counties sure for each, it will
be a fight for the several doubtful
counties in the district, and among
these are the counties which were
previously counted for Colonel Hen
derson, therefore it appears that the
candidate that can control the bulk
of he Henderson strength will be
successful.
Bo-h candidates are unusually busy
at present and their respective cam
paign committees are making a hard
fight While thus far but little in
terest has been manifested in the
race in Glynn, it is expected that
things will get lively in this county
before the election.

TWO ABE DEAD;
OTHER DYING
HORRIBLE Tragedy OCCURRED
YESTERDAY AT STATION
UP oN'coAsT LINE.
Man is Thought to Have Been Suf-
terng from Temporary insanity
Husband and Wife Dead and Son
Fatally Injured.

One of the most horrible tragedies
ever happening in this section took
place yesterday morning when Bert
Mercer, farmer who lives about
three miles south of HobOken, a sta
tion en- the Coast Line in Pierce coun-
ty, shot and killed his wife and seri-
ously wounded his son, a young man
about % years old, and then com
mitted suicide.
The shooting took place in the yard
instantly, it is supposed, as she was
terribly wounded, as we'll as her hus-
band and son. The three lay in the
yard until a neighbor in passing on
his way to Hoboken saw the terrible
sight. Young Mercer will probably
live, although seriously wounded. Mrs.
Mercer is a sister Of P. d. Grimm,
whose farm adjoins the Mercer farm.
The shooting occurred yesterday
morning about O'Clock and aspfstol
was used. 1t is said that Mercer
was subject to spells of insanity ana
SPELLS the deed was done,
When discovered the three were
lying in close proximity of each 9TH
er, each in a pool of his own blood.
Mrs. Mercer was shot several times
and her husbands brains were scat
tered over the ground on which he
lay with a great hole in his head The
young man was lying a little apart
from his mother and father and un-
conscious when the discovery was
made. AS soon as the discovery was
made medical aid was gotten from
Hob0ken and the young mans injur-
les attended to, but the father and
mother were past all human aid =
This tragedy coming as it does to
we'll known PEOPLE of the section, has
cast a shadow over the community
in which they lived as they were
generally well known and liked.

The First Railway Gauge.

An interesting story was told by one
Of George Stephenson's biographers re-
Iating how the great engineer came to
adopt the four foot eight and a half
inch gauge for his railways. Some
time previous to the building Of his
Newcastle and Carlisle railway Ste
phenson had an opportunity Of inspect
ing some portion Of an old Roman wall,
through which the chariots used to
be driven. Deep ruts made by the
chariot wheels were still visible, and
on measuring these he found their
distance apart to be as near as possible
four feet eight and half inches. Ste
phenson thereupon came to the conclu-
sion that If a world power like the
Romans had made such use Of the
measure for It's chariots he could not
be wrong in adopting those measure
ments as a rule for his railway.

CHANGE OLD LONDON HOUSES


London. Dudley house, which was
sold by Sir Joseph B. Robinson, the
South African millionaire, to Hon.
John Ward, son-in-law of Ambassador
Reid, Is typical example of a great
mansion of the last century. It has
two floors of reception rooms and one
floor Of bedrooms
The Wards will probably reconstruct
some of the interior arrangements, for
nothing has been more striking in
London domestic architecture than
the change that has come over the
ideas Of the relative Importance of
public rooms and bedrooms.
Carlton House Terrace, which was
supposed to be the latest word in
magnificence when it was built In the
first part Of the last century. still
shows, in the few unreconstructed
houses that remain. some of the most
cramped and ridiculous bedroom ac-
commodations in the West End, espe-
cially in the servants quarters.
The early Victorian architects would
rub their eyes to see how all over Bel
gravia many OF the finest reception
rooms have been turned into bed
rooms.
The change which has come about
within the last twenty years is large
~ due to American women, who re-
fuse to put up with the stuffy Vic
torian ideas, represented in the best
houses.
Fashionable women. according to one
authority, now receive their init
mates in their bedrooms. and. indeed,
the wheel has come so near to the
full circle that the bed-sitting-room Of
the suburbs may now be found In
some of the finest houses In Bel
gravia.
