AlmoBt at once tile some element
that had recognised Reyes as their

J. A. Bloomer, Manager of Tannic Acid
Plant, Cuts His Throat With
Butcher Knife.
News has been received here of tho
suicide at Old Fort, McDowell rounty,
yesterday morning of J. A. Bloomer,
manager of the tannic acid plant at
that place. The suicide of Mr. Bloom
er was a great shock to his family. He
was one of the most highly respected
citizens of that section and while he
had suffered with rheumatism for
some time he had showed no signs of
Insanity and it Is believed that the
rash act was committed in u moment
of temporary derangement. Mr
Bloomer was in a most cheerful mood
Sunday and with his family went over
the Sunday school lesson for next Sun
day, lie retired as usual Sunday night
and arising about 7 o'clock yesterday
morning said that he was going down
to the kitchen to start the fire. Re did
go to the kitchen and took one eye
from the stove. He evidently then
became deranged and picking up a
butcher knife from off the kitchen ta
ble went to the rear of an out-house
and cut his throat from ear to ear.
His prolonged absence alarmed the
family and search was made with the
result that Mr. Bloomer was found In
a dying condition with the butcher
knife by his side. He endeavored to
speak to his wife but could not be
heard. Physicians called in attended
the wound and sewed up the cut but
their efforts were In valu and Mr.
Bloomer died about 9 o'clock. The
remains will be temporarily interred at
Old Fort and later will be taken to
Pennsylvania for permanent burial.

Sheriff P. H. Corley of Lexington
Bounty, South Carolina, passed through
Ashevllle late yesterday afternoon
cn route from Kentucky to his home,
having In custody a negro charged
with being Implicated In the murder
of a young railroad man. Paul Wil
liams, dining the early part of Octo
ber. It will be rermetnberrd that
when the Hackenback & Wallace
shows was passing through South
Carolina October 2, a row occurred;
a general fight was the result and ne
groes on the train assaulted and mur
dered Mr. Williams and kicked his
body off the train
It was alleged at the time that some
13 negroes were implicated In the
riot and the murder, and the officers'
of Lexington county, South Carolina,
immediately set to work to bring Uu?
guilty persons to Justice. To the credit
of Sheriff Corley 12 of tho accused
hove been captured and placed behind
the bars while the sheriff in conversa-
lon with the Ashevllle officers yester
day afternoon declared that he had
the 13th man located and that he
would have him behind the bars in less
than one month. the negro that
Sheriff Corley had In custody yester
day was located In Kentucky, after
hard work and tho expenditure of
more than $200. The cost of capture,
however, was of little consequence to
the authorities of Lexington county,
and now that all save one of the ne
groes implicated have leen Jailed It Is
believed that tho capture of the last
negro will be an easy matter.
It is expected that as a result of the
foul murder of the railroad man some
one or more of those implicated will
go to the gallows and that the others
will serve long terms in the state's
prison. The riot and the murder on
the circus train was entirely unprovok
