AM IMAGINARY REALM.
The Swim "(jombrooui" and How l)e
Uuiurj Originated It
. A gentleman at the Supreme
court building yesterday fished
out. an old paper that gives the
history of the name of "Gotn
broom," Senator Vance's home
on Black Mountain. It was
written by some one acquainted
with the writings of DeQuincey.
This history of the now fa
miliar name' of Gombroom, is
told as follows : .. .
"Thomas De Quincey created
an imaginary realm called 'Gom
broom,' which for years was
the subject of his most earnest
thoughts. Probably nothing
was ever more real to him, the
great essayist, than that exist
ing realm of imagination, all
compact, the far off Island of
Goombroom his dream realm
the joy of such escape from the
confines of space and of time
airy structure. Rousseau fled to
his Cload-land whenever the
world seemed cruel or neglected.
His dream real was peopled with
perfect creatures well defined,
carefully mapped out kingdoms
of the imagination are much
less frequent, much more in
teresting and valuable." News

ALVH, EOIt THE SHAME.
A Man and Woman Imprisoned on l'n
Serious Charges lilind Smniiiir and
Ignorance Were from Cubarrux.
Again the tale of shame was
told at the police station last
night. In different cells were a
white man and a white woman
They had fancied they were man
and wif, but, by a token of sin
tney were mistaken.
The man's name is Pink Kirby
and he is a mill operative. The
woman thought herself Mrs,
Kirby. In reality she is Mrs,
lines Blackwelder.
But three years ago she was
Peggie Frances Honeysucker, a
daughter of John Wesley Honey
sucker, of Cabarrus county. In
October of 1898 she married Giles
Blackwelder. In the following
June Blackwelder was arrested
for having counterfeit money in
his possession and was sent to
tlie penitentiary lor two years
His wife went to'tbehomeof her
father and came with her fath
er's family to Charlotte. On the
29th of last September she mar
tied Kirby without obtaining a
divorce from Blackwelder. The
ceremony was performed by
.squire Bailes, the famous mar
riage artist of Mouth Carolina.
bo the man and the woman
face two serious charges. Both
have honest faces, yet each is
stamped with ignorance that is
hapeless. They thought they
had a right to be married; that
Blackwelder's confinement in the
penitentiary obliterated all mar
riage vows.
"That's what they told us,"
said Kirby. "We didn't mean
to do any harm. 1 was never
before locked up for anything,"
he said, in a hurt, helpless sort
of way. "And I am 42 years old
She's 23, and a good woman." The
woman stood leaning on the bars
of a cell across the corridor; ill
dressed, toillineson her face, the
picture of weariness and misery
'Her father said we had t
right to get married," continued
Kirby. "We lived with him un
til about two weeks ago."
"And he bad us arrested be
cause we left him," said the wo
man, taking up tho sioiy. ''We
worked hard and paid him $2 a
week uutil we found we could
live cheaper by keeping hous
for ourselves. We lived on
Twelfth street. And we were
getting along all right. And we
didn't think we were doing
wrong," she added, laying her
head f gainst the bars and t igh
ing as if tired to the utmost.
In part, certainly, their story
is true. It was the woman's
father who made the double
charge against Kirby and his
daughter, and he will stand as
prosecutor in the recorder's
court this morning. Charlotte

JUMPED LNTO A FURNACE.
An Unknown Man Commits Suicide by

Pittsburg, Pa, Nov. 21. A
few moments after midnight an
unknown man threw himself
headlong into one of the fur
naces at Schoenberger's mills,
Fourteenth and Etna streets.
Almost his entire body was
roasted ;beyond identification,
his left foot being the only part
not disfignred. A few moments
before midnight the man was
seen to enter the mill yards and
stand at the foot of the hoisting
cage, wnicn carries ore and
ohter supplies .or the furnaces.
The moment that a warning was
sounded for the cage to ascend
with its load three workmen saw
the suicide jump on the platform
and siaud within a few feet of
thpm. He was pulled out about
three minutes later, every part
of his body resembling a piece
of half-cook9d meat.
No one can remember having
seen him before, and it is probable
he will never be identified. The
body was removed to the morgue
The man was about 35 years of
age, medium height, sandy mous
tache and apparently an Ameri
can. He wore black laced shoes.

P.ATIIAN AND HIS URIEF.
ill Ills Life He Worked for One Thing;
He Gained II; He Lost It Hanged
HiniKeir.
The suicide of Nathan Mc
Cleary, an aged negro, at Sandi
fer, Paw Creek township, th's
county, last Thursday, was a sad
climax to an humble, honest life.
L Nathan was nearly 0 years
old .and had been a rent-farmer
ikll his life. From early youth
the one ambition of his life was
to own a farm and with this end
in view he worked unceasingly
His oldest son, Aleck, helped
him in his work helped him
until Aleck married and was
raising a family. Some months
ago the old man and Aleck
bought a farm and stocked it
well. It was considered Nathan's
farm, and he and his wife and
his youngest son, Jim, went to
the new home to live.
But Aleck had managed to get
the title to the property in his
name and he allowed his parents
only a short time to enjoy the
sense of possession. He sent in
renters of his own, who took
charge of the farm and the stock.
And Aleck evicted Nathan, his
old father and his mother also.
They made no scene, but sur
rendered their rights quietly,
and went off and rented a small
farm.
The grief of Nathan was in
tense. All his life he had .la
bored to accomplish one thing
had accomplished it and had lost
it through his own flesh and
blood. The story is that Nathan
was an honest man, a good man,
who lived right by the white
man's standard. And the old
negro -must have suffered as a
white man suffers.
So he hanged himsolf.
He had pliyed the game for
nearly 70 years, and had sought
a bit of rest, on his own soil,
just this side of the grave. It
had been denied. So Nathan had
summary justice with bitter fail
ure and carried the matter into
the court of his Maker. And,
may bo, the soul was as white as
white. Charlotte Observer.

THAT WASHINGTON TRIAL.
Mrs. Bonlne Charged With Mnrdorlng
the Man That Tired or Her.
Washington city has the sen
sational trial of the season.
Sometime ago Jas. S Ayers, Jr.,
was found dead in his room in
the Kenmore Hotel and it was
evident that he had been mur
dered. In working up tho case
it seemed that in this, as in so
very many great tragedies of
criminal nature, there was a wo
man at the bottom of it. Mrs
Lola Ida Bonine was arrested on
the charge of murder.
, The man seems to have been
asleep in nothing but his sleep
ing habit. When the murderer
entered and departed after the
tragedy in a mysterious
way. The door was forced
open, being bolted probably
from the inside, and the man lay
on the floor in his blood. There
were stains on the window sill
and the theory is that his mur
derer left by way of the fire
escape.
it appears that they were
formerly criminally intimate and
that the woman's love turned to
revenge and murderous hate
when his devotions to her were
in a measure withdrawn.
This trial will be on deck now
a an item of sensational news
of the day.
