The
"Vengeance Is Mine, I Will Kepter,"
Suith the Lord.
Marie Voksra, a Hungarian
who followed the murderer of
of hor husband 4,000 miles to
avenge his death by her own hand,
herself met a tragic death today
on the Pennsylvania Railroad
near Altoona.
After leaving this city three
weeks ago nothing was heard of
the woman or her strange mis
sion until this morning, when
the engineer of a Pennsylvania
Railroad., train saw her on the
tracks in front of his locomotive.
The engineer opened the whistle
wide, but the woman failed to
hear. She was struck and
hurled to one side of the track
with . both legs and an arm
crushed.
The woman maintained con
sciousness until her arrival in
this city. At the Municipal Hos
pital she realized that her death
was near and gasped out:
"God was not with me, as I
thought. Ho will avenge."
These were her last words. A
few "minutes later she died.
In the folds of her dress the
murderous dagger, which she
declared she would sink into the
heart of her husband's murderer,
was found. It and a few silver
coins, her sole wordly posses
sions, were turned over to the
coroner, says an Altoona, (Pa.)
Dispatch of July 26th.
WHO WON THE VICTORY?
An Unfortunate Accident.
A very sad accident happened
at Greensboro just as the parade
was starting Wednesday. The
bronze bird representing the
American eagle, which was
placed high on the Cleopatra
bronze float, was struck by a
telegraph wire and knocked
down on the head of Miss Ruth
Porter, one of the occupants of
the float, who was painfully,
though not seriously, injured. It
was necessary, however, that she
should be taken from the float
and carried home. This accident
to Miss Porter brings to mind the
fact that her brother had his leg
broken in two places a few weeks
ago by falling under the wheels
of a hook and ladder truck.

The Finest Haute of Itusilmll In a While
Charlotte Slays With l-A Man
Disabled and the (fume Culled Off
With An Even Score.
It can not be said that we did
not get a chance to see some
good basoball playing on the
diamond Wednesday afternoon
when the Charlotte team tried
us. It was a beautiful game
with but one objection we did
not score quite enough. Only
one time in the game there were
three men on the bases and
one time the visitors were
struck out in succession, not
one of them seeing the first base
It was good playing and
Charlotte stuck up to us splend
idly. Lattimer did tine work in
the box, and Jonts could not
compete against him when
came to strikes. Graves caught
the former and Brake the latter
In the first inning Maugum
put a ball against but not over
the fence, and scored it on Reed's
ball. We failed to score in sec
ond inning and three of our men
were put out on second base
Two of Charlotte s men were
struck out. In the third inning
Mangum reached third but died
ori the base. This time two of
our men were struck out. In
the fourth the opponents put
dduble play on us, putting out
Reed and Graves. This time
Charlotte scored for her first
time two runs. This irritated
our pitcher and throe Charlotte
men dropped their bats as fast as
they struck three times. Ciphers
only were scored in the huh. In
the sixth Mangum and LoGrando
were put out on a double play at
first and socond. For the first
time in the game three men
were on bases in the seventh
inning and then we had to lot
them die on their bases. Two
visitors again struck out. Char
lotte made another successful
double play in the eighth.
Now came the warm time
when "down in front" was not
heeded. Charlotte stood 2 to
our 1 at the beginning of the
ninth inning. Graves made
first and by Caldwell's centre
field fly was sent to third and
then scored us one which tied
the score. This was fortunate
but the unfortunate part came
next when Brake and Thompson
of the Charlotte team, attempting
to catch a foul collided in front
of the grand stand. It was a
hard blow the former roceived
knocking the breath from him
and giving the latter a bruised
eye. Brake recovered in
while but not sufficiently to play
his part and as no substitute was
on hand the game was called on.
When this happened we had one
man on bases and only one was
out.

COMPLETELY SHUT OLT.
Charlotte Sow at Kent After Meeting
ller Fate Again Friday-She Tried
Her Best But Sever Did (let to Homo
Base -The Closest (iiune on the Char
lotte Diamond This Season.
Last year nothing pleased our
people more and no game excited
our interest as when we went up
agrainst Mountain Island, but
this season it has turned and
Charlotte gets the interest and
enthusiasm but that's all they
do get. Completely shut-out
was Charlotte in the game Fri
day, the score resulting in a
score of 2 to 0.
But one thing must bo said for
Charlotte her boys certainly
did play ball well, if they hadn't
it would have been worse for
them. This was undoubtedly
the finest game of ball Latta
park has had this season and
one of the best in this part of
the State.
The Charlotte Observer gives
Concord the following:
"Poor base running and three
costly errors lost the game. It
" . ... m. , -l si
was a battle oi i nans, ana con
cord may well feel proud of hav
ing proved the stronger.
"Concord can everlastingly
run bases. Her pitcher Latti-
mnr was tier Ions' suit, Fridav.
I play with negroes and retired
I from tho league. Mr. Lattimer
jis teaching school near Boston,
.but he was born a Southerner,
and a Southerner in mind and
heart he will be until he dies.
" 'Regrets, ' as the -score card
called Rogers, stepped up first
for Concord, and he knocked a
beatiful two-bagger. An error
of Hunter's gave him the chance
of kissing the homo plate, which
ho did 'midst the plaudits by
mouth, feet and hands of the
large number of rooters in the
grand stand. Mangum followed
him, but got no further than
second base, his successors Le
Grande, Reed and Graves, going
out. While Concord made two
runs and Charlotte none, she had
only two men left on bases to
Charlotte's four Mangum in the
first and Card in tho sixth. 'So
you see' the game was no pudden,
no load-pipe cinch, after all.
Concord's second run was scored
in tho seventh by Reed. Ho hit
safe to first, went to second by a
fumble of centre fielder and
scored on a deep fly of Caldwell's
a fly too deep for the fielder to
handle in time to prevent the
runner scoring.
"Charlotte did well, but Con
cord did better. She deserves
all praise for capturing such
a trophy as Friday's game,
and Charlotte accords it to her
cheerfully and gladly."
The score was as follows :

That certainly is a nice and

regard to Uio calling off of the

is what it says:
"Concord did a clever thing
Wednesday in calling the game a

ot Charlotte s default in not hav
ing a substitute player, have
claimed the game. It was a white
act. All honor to the Cabarrus

also want to treat our visitors

Origin of Chaiilauiiiia.
In answer to our question
Tuesday, "Why is not the word
'chautauuua found in the die
tioiiarios, as it is used much like
a common noun?" A friend of
fers the following:
"Because it is an Indian name
for a comity and town in the
State of New York. Chautauqua
town was very pleasantly situ
ated, and a very suitable place
for locating a religious institute,
called 'Chautauqua Institute.'
Since that has proved a success
other institutes have been formed
and called 'Chautauqua' to let
tho people know that it was an
institute similar to the original
one in New York.

A Hotel of Aluminum.
One of tho most remarkable of
tho recent inventions upon which

filled a long-felt want by con
structing a portable habitation
for traveling circuses or cam
paign parties who do not wish to
be at the mercy of local hotel
keepers.
The hotel on wheels is made of
aluminum, and is so constructed
as to fold up like a railroad car,
and to appeal", when closed, to
be an ordinary bairgage car
When the stopping place is
reached, and the travelers wish
to camp for tho night, the side.
