A special from Wilson to the Wilming ton Mesanger, " giyes an account of a shooting affair in that place some days a go. Rsaya: ,H - ' The party charged is .Minnie Sutton. The 1 murdered amen . is Jjoa Smith, the wife of a'.Methodist minister. "All the parties jWeJlOToi,; The, Sutton ynavMjfp aeon" waiting around the Colorpd, Methodist Church np to the time of the close of the serri oes and within a few, yards of the church a woman approached the "Smith woman in comptir with nncther-woman named Jones. She looked closely in the faces of the two and7 "ujwrilocating Smith, drew a revolver, placed it on the right breast of Smith and fired. Smith lived only a few moments. For some reason the shooting was placed on Sutton and she was arrested and placed in the lock up. This morning bhe confessed and told the ponce where the pistol could be found. It was found as she stated wrapped ub in a - tow sack, back of the garden where the murderess lived. As yet there is no verdict by the jury, and the case is yet pending. The Sutton woman's apology for the killing is that the woman has killed by 1 poison three members of her family. Our next court will have two capital cases to investigate. TRIED TO STRIKE PARNLL. Result of a Heated Discussion at the ' Polls In Carlo w. Dublin, July 7. The polling in Car low to-day for a successor in Parliament to.the late O'Gorman iahon proceeded without any serious trouble, though it was a hot fight.

In the midst of the disturbance a man tried to strike Mr. Parnell, but he was prevented from so doing by a number of bystanders. The result of the voting will not be known until to-morrow. The Climatic Advatages Carolina. Of Western Several years ago the editor of the .Manufacturers' Record, while in search of health, found in Polk county, in West ern Carolina, a section where the climate seemed wellnigh perfect. It was a reg ion peculiarly favored by nature. Nearly all of that county and most of the one adjoining, Butherfordton, lying at an elevation of about 1.000 to 1,500 feet above sea level, were surrounded on three sides by a mountain range averag ing about 3,500 feet elevation. This range was practically a horseshoe with the open part facing the South. The result was that the climate there seemed to be the concentration of the best quali ties of that .wonderful climate which has made Western Carolina noted through, out the world. It was free from the severe cold of the higher mountain sections, while the air was usually dry, bracing and exhilarating. Dews were almost wholly unknown, the early morn ing showing the grass dry, but still vegetatiion remained fresh and luxuri ant. In this section is found "The Thermal Belt," where frost is rarely seen even in cold weather, and early as well as late fruits are raerly endangered by this enemy of the fruitgrower It is a section of great natnral advantages and of surpassingly beautiful and picturesque scenery. It is, in fact, an ideal spot for a great sanitarium and for a large in creace in population based on climrtic conditions alone, even if nature had not bestowed so many other blessings on that country. j Flood at a Wedding Feast. Lokdoy, July 7. A broken water-pipe which caused the banquet hall to be flooded with water created consternation at Windsor Castle last night while the Queen was banqueting the royal pedding party.

"Ah?" "Yes. , He was too exact" "Indeed?" "And too conscientious." 'X never heard exactness and conscien tiousness made the causes of a man's dis charges before."
