Fifth Soldier Killed by Train.

Denmark, S. c., June 10.-Private
Meredith Rodgers, OF Company f,
First Infantry, was struck and in
stantly killed by fast freight train
on the Seaboard road this morning at
$50. He was guarding the trestle
over Salkehatchie river, near Scho-
field. From information received
here 1t seems that young Rodgers had
been left in charge Of the bridge
while the corporal took the others
back to their camp, about half mile
away, for breakfast, and in the mean
while a train passed. When they re-
turned to the trestle they found the
BODY IN the stream. There were no
eye-witnesses, and 1t was in broad
daylight. Private Rodgers lived at
343 College street. Spartanburg. He
was 8 years Of age, and leaves fa-
ther and mother. He is the fifth man
that has been struck by train and
killed since the First Regiment has
Deen on guard duty in this State, and
the second man to be killed on this
trestle.

mter, June 1O.-The hearing Of

After listening to the affidavits pre-

COUNSEL for both sides, Judge Wilson
ruled that the petition OF the mother
be eSEranted and that she be given the

know what these allegations were and

cona5tions. 1t is understood that
COUNSEL for Rev. Belvin intends to
appeal from Judge Wilson's order.
Case Takes Another Angle.
Late Thursday night another Incl
denYwas written up in this much
dise4ssed case, when Rev. Belvin was
alleged to have been assaulted and
sevsTely beaten by Bob Hussey, a
brother Of Mrs. Belvin. as he was In
theAct Of taking the night train for
ColHnbia. From what could be
learNed Of the affair, it is said that
boDMiussey, accompanied by other
members Of his family, went to the
statipn to see Rev. Belvin, and while
thenA q controversy ensued and the
fghA followed. No other particulars
couM be gotten, as 1t was at late

speculation and interest. Both par
ties are well known in this vicinity,
Mrs. BelVin being a former resident
Of this county. Rev. Belvin is well
acquainted and has many friends in
the community. 1t is sure that this
is only the beginning Of long legal
battle for the possession of the child.
Three other children are now resid-

Walhalla. What will be the ultimate

of last week Is problematical at this

Mutt and Jeff in an entire new dress
Their Wedding is the title of the story
that is to form a background for

brilliancy of the burlesque and the
harmonious art of musical comedy

ectrically embellished, including some
startling mechanical effects that
overshadow all previous attempts at
reIaism. Contrary to the general idea
of producing managers to frame up
their offerings for the second or
third years cheaply and clean up,
speaking in the parlanec of the pro-
fession. Mr.. Hill has spent more
money and greater energy in this

than on any of the previous produc-

ing qualities of the cartoon play. In
this seasons entertainment, there
isn't a thing left but Mutt and Jeff.
The story. music, lyrics, scenery and
electrical effects are all new. Mr..
Hill has selected a cast superior in
every respect to any he has yet been

The japanese are masters in the
manipulation of plants. Their
dwarf trees are wonderful as ex-
amples of human control over vege-
table growth. Dean Swift was evil

habitants. The japanese and espe-
cially the Japanese woman, looks
like a cameo. and all the works Of
japanese genius have the cameo
cut.
L have been looking at some pho
tographs OF japanese miniature
gardens. adorned with Lllliputian
trees. and 1 feel as if I had been
looking at the world through the

hundred years old. yet only a foot
tall and growing i'm an earthen pot
or in an enclosure no bigger than a
soup tureen, becomes a living jewel
rather than a plant. It makes you
think of magic, sorcery and Oriental
marvellousness. II is the reverse of
what nature did in the Carbonifer-

A tree can be dwarfed by starv-
ing the roots and trimming the
shoots, but that is only a small part
of the business. Bandaging, twist
ing, shaping and what not, must be
skillfully applied 10 produce the de-
sired result. There is profound
science in the apparently simple
matter of watering. The art is
sometimes kept within the circle of
a family. and handed down from
father TO son. There are several
different styles OF form to which the
trees are trained. for the artists are
not satisfied with merely making
them small Each style has its
name. Some lowering trees are
dwarfed and when covered with
tiny blossoms resemble Towering
plants.
IL is not alone in the training OF
dwarf trees that the japanese show
their singular mastery over plant
forms, for they train trees OF nor
NAL size with equal skill. giving
them forms that greatly increase
their beauty and grouping them in
their wonderful gardens with a skill.
taste and originality that excite uni
versal admiration.
