WAYLAID HIS yVIFE . AND KILLED HER J A Paris Sensatioa Const De tornoiier Found His Wife in Another Man's . Apartments. Br Cable to the Mornina Star. Paris, Noveaaber 17. Count de Cornulier this afternoon surprised his wife, the Countess de Cornulier, visit ing the apartments of a gentleman on the Rue de Provonco. The count met the countess on the stairway and fired three Bhots at her. She died on her way to a hospital. The count was ar rested. The family is a prominent one. The count's Brother is an army colonel and the count is well known in the highest Parisian society. He is aged 43 years. His wife was 81 years old. She was formerly Mile. Genevieve Bi neau de Viennay. A suit for s-para-tion was pending between the count and countess. , The shooting of the countess created consternation in social circles, where both the count and countess were prominently known. The countess was a woman of unuhual beauty and she was often seen at the theatres, race courses, and other resorts frequented by the elite of Paris. She was a daughter of Count de Viennay, whose family is highly respected. She was married to Count Charles de Cornulier fourteen years ago. and three children are the result of the anion, the eldest of whom is 13 years of age. The marriage proved an unhappy one, and acting upon the advice of her father, the countess separated from her husband four years ago and had since lived in a private house at Au teil. Recently a decree was rendered giving her possession of the children. The count then' began his espionage and discovered that the countess fre quently visited M. Leroux, one of her former admirers. Count de Cornulier claimed that a liason was maintained by the couple, but the best informa tion is that M. Leroux acted as the legal advisor of the countess: It is stated that her father chose him to manager her affairs. Yesterday the count watched M. Leroux home but the contess did not Siy a visit to her advisor. ' To day nding her landau before M. Leroux's door, the count secreted himself on the stairway and when the coubtess descended without a word fired three times, each shot taking effect. His wife never regained consciousness after the shooting, dying in the am bulance which was summoned to take her to the hospital. The count was exceedingly calm upon surrendering himself, saying "I did it- I am her husband." He was the first to give aid to his wife after she fell and asked that a priest be sent for. He asserted that he did not intend to kill his wife but wanted to create a scandal. REAR END COLLISION. Serious Accident on the Albemarle and Vicksbnrg Roid-KUIcd and Injured. Bj Telegraph to the Morning star. Jackson, Miss., Nov. 17. Two men were instantly killed and three others received injuries that will probably result fatally, in a rear end collision that took place on the Alabama and Vicksburg road, one mile west of this place.

Close by there was another broken spar, evi dently a boom with the ends sticking ont of the water, also what appeared to be a gaff with a sail on it, floating on the water.

By Telegraph to the Mernins star. Jacksok, Miss., November 17. The SUte Board of Health has re ceived official notice of two cases of yellow fever and one death at Brook- haven, the county seat of Lincoln county, about sixty miles from this city. The fatal case was that of D. E. Middleton. Dr. H. A. Gant. nreaident of th Board, returned to-night from a trip of investigation, but was unable to trace the source of infection. Owiog to the fact that several heavy frosts have occurred throughout the State no apprehension is felt. DAUGHTERS OF CONFEDERACY. Brief Session Constitution Revised. Funds Collected for Memorials. ' By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Montgomery, Ala., Nov. 17. Although the work of their general convention "was practically finished yesterday, the United Daughters of tne Confederacy neld a ' oner session to day. The constitution was gone over and some minor revisions were made. A fund of $235 was collected to enclose Bull Run Cemetery. A fund of (500 was raised for the Forest monument at Memphis. Two gigantic railroad deals, involv ing the Northern Pacific, Great North ern and Union Pacific on one hand, and the Atchison and Southern Pa cific system on the other hand, have been completed - and will shortly be announced. A dispatch from Bloemfontein says the Boers heavily attacked -the rail road at Edenburg, v November 15th. It is reported that the Boers were com pletely cut up. One report has it that seventy-five of. the party were killed or wounded. . CONSOLIDATION OF LUMBER MILLS Twenty or More Companies in ; i Virginia and North Caro- j Una in the Deal. j PLANTS VALUED AT $25,000,000 Combination to lontrei the Market for Csroiina Pine Belmonts, of New York, to Finance the Deal-All the Capital Forthcoming. Bt Te'.ecraDh to the Mot tuns SU-r Baltimore, November 17. A mam moth consolidation of lumber compa nks will probably be announced with in a week or ten days. Fourteen com panies at least are to be included in the combination if the plans do not miscarry, and several others, making perhaps a total of twenty, are expected tube added. A list of the corpora tiocs now interested in the cegotia tiocs and including the largest of them is as follows : Atlantic Coast Lumber Company, bf Georgetown, 8. C. ; Ban ning Lumber Company, of Edenton, N. C. ; Camp Lumber Company, of Franklin, Va.; Cape Fear Lumber Company, of Wilmington, N. O. ; Gay Manufacturing Company, of Suffolk, Va. ; Greenleaf Johnson Company, of Norfolk, Va. ; E. E Jackson, & Cora- pany, of Washington, V. U. ; Koanoke ittailro&a ana iiumosr company, oi Norfolk, Va.: Roper Lumber Com- nany, or jNorioir, va. ouhojk oaw Mill Company, ot eunois:, v a.; curry Lumber Company, of Baltimore; Tunis Lumber Company, of Baltimore; W. W. Tunis Brothers' Lumber Company, of Norfolk; Virginia Saw Mill Com pany, of Norfolk, Va. It is said the deal is a result of a meet ing held in this city prior to the election. Among those who participated in this conference were August Belmont, of the New York banking firm, Chas. B. Flint,. Dr., Joseph O. White and Joseph Auerbacb. of New York, and representatives of nearly all the com panies named above. After the conference the party pro ceeded to Norfolk and inspected the plants of some of the lumber com panies. Conferences have since been held in New York, and the negotiations have, it is said, practically reached a sue cessful termination. It is understood that all the capital necessary to secure the consolidation will be forthcoming and that the Bel monts will finance the deal, the total value of the various plants being about $25,000,000. Mr. Auerbacb. is to at tend to the legal side of the proposi tion. The combination is to control the market for Carolina pine, which is said to have been much demoralized by competition between the numerous concerns in the trade. This class of lumber figures extensively as building material, being used in every way that lumber is necessary in the erection of all clas&es of structures. According to a prominent lumber man, it is not proposed to advance prices, but to make money by economizing in the operating expenses and also not to in crease the export of lumber. Gossip about the deal was frequent in trade circles to-day. Ex-Senator Tunis, of the Tunis Lumber Company, liiflk Viaa it a mMm at ' TOlfl fe- turned from New York but declined to discuss details of the combine. He admitted, however, that negotiations are in progress. Governor Smith, of this State, is heavily interested in the Surry Lumber Company. He is also interested in the 8urry, Sussex and Southampton Railroad, which penetrates the timber- lands of the former company, it is a narrow gauge line twenty-eight miles in length and would doubtless be in cluded in the deal. FIRE AT PH1L1PPI, W. VA. Business Portion of the Town Destroyed. Lois Estimated at $100,000. By Telegraph to toe Horning star. Philippi, W. Va., Nov. 17. At 9 o'clock this morning fire broke out in the Valley hotel here and destroyed a large portion of the business area of the city.- The fire is supposed to have originated from a defective fine in the hotel. The loss will approximate $100,000. The heaviest losers are Crim & Bosworth, hotel. 420.000: no insu ranee. The losses above insurance are great. There is significance in the comparison between the increase in the native population North and South during the past ten years. With little or no for eign immigration, the population of the Southern states has increased from 19,300,000 to 23,200,000, or very nearly 20 per cent. The rest of the country has increased from 43,500,000 to 53,000,000, or, if we leave out the 4,000,000 immigrants, from 43,500,000 to 49,000,000, which would mean a natural increase of only about 12 per cent, for the country as compared with the South's 20 per cent.
