A daring highwayman was operating on Albany avenue, Kingston, N. Y., between midnight and half-past one o'clock Sunday morning. Hs first victim was Zeolite Stew art, manager of the Kingston City Beef Company, who was just returning from a business trip in the country. Stani! and deliver or IU flreT said a man who sprang from behind a tree on the sidewalk, close to' which Mr. Stewart was driving. Mr .Stewart yelled at his horse to "get up," and he gave it a smart cut with his whip. The highwayman was as good as his word he fired. His victim drove on rapidly, feel ing somewhat faint and with unaccountable sensations in the region of his stomach. When he went to put up his horse be saw that his clothes were bloody, and made up his mind that the peculiar sensations were caused by a bullet from the would-be assis sin's pistol. Help-was speedily sumraoneL Surgeous extracted the ball from his side, and Mr. Stewart is reported as doing nicely. The slightest change of the angle at which the murderous weapon was fired would have resulted in Mr. Stewart being a dead man, and (Kingston city would have a mystery 10 unravel.

He was walking along hurriedly and at about the same place where Mr. Stewart was fired at, a pistol was pointed let waea Mr. Ostrander's eyes and he was irquestedjto "stand and deliver" in true old fashioned style. He put his hands up over his heud and the highwayman went through him.

"Third, That any form of license, to xa tion or regulation of the liquor traffic is con trary to good government; that any party which supports, or by regulation, license or tax enters into an alliance with such traffic, becomes the actual foe of the Stare's welfare, and that we arraign the Republican and Democratic parties for their persistent atti tude in favor of the license iniquity, whereby they oppose the demand of the people for prohibition, and through open complicity with the liquor cause, "defeat the enforcement of law. . -; "Fourth, For the imtneuiate abolition of the internal revenue system, whereby our national government is deriving support from our greatest national vice, "Fifth.

While the docket was being called Mrs. Meckie L. Rawson was impatiently waiting for the di vorce case of her husband, banker Rawson, to be called. CoL H. CL Whitney, her hus band's attorney, was sitting at a side table writing when the court was suddenly start led to bear a pistol, and Col. Whitney at once disappeared under the table. The shot was followed by four more in rapid succession, and Mrs. Rawson was seen pursuing Whitney with a Smith and Wesson 38 calibre revolver. Mrs. Rawson succeeded in emptying her revolver at Whitney before she could be captured. Two of the balls hit the lawyer, one taking effect below the groin and thei other in the left leg. The wound near the right groin will probably be fatal. Judge Jamieson ot once ordered Mrs. Raw- son's arrest, ana sne was immediately taicen to jaiL j When the officers arrived at the jail with their prisoner, Mrs. Rawson had every appearance of being an insane woman. Her eyes were red and bloodshot and she com plained of being cold and faint As soon as the search had been completed she became more composed. It is understood that Mrs. Rawson has been in a desperate state of mind since the Appel late Court refused to grant her solicitors' fees, and said in passing upon the merits of her pending divorce suit, that the tessimony was overwhelmingly against her. It is also understood that Mrs. Rawson claims that lawyerj Whitney trumped up all the testi mony which went to show that she bad been guilty of infidelity to her husband. This i occurrence recalls the sensational shooting that occurred last winter, when Ralph Lee, a nephew of Mrs. Rawson, shot five ballets into Banker Rawson as he was leaving the third Presbyterian Church after the Sunday morning services. Rawson still has the five bullets in bis body, escaping death by almost a miracle. Lee is now serv ing a brief jail sentence for the crime. FAITH DID NOT SAVE. Medicine Discarded With Fatal Effect in a Caee or Illness. ' The first instance in South Carolina of a resort! to the "faith cure" is reported from Timmonsville, where it resulted in the death of Annette Manes, a bright girl, twelve years old, the daughter of respectable, intel ligent' and pioui parents. Annette was stricken down with measles, which finally developed into a dangenrous type of dysen tary. i A regular physician attended her and soon had the disease under control. At this juncture Miss Mattie Gordon came to the vicinity lecturing on prohibition and holiness, and claiming to tie a faith healer. Miss Gordon sxm induced the child to leave off the doctor's medicine and adopt the faith remedy. The mother protested, but the child, encouraged by II is Gordon, refused to take the doctor's medicine. The disease took a firm hold, and when at length toe family recalled the regular physician it was too late. The unfortunate girl died.
