HAPPENINGS OVER THE WORLD. 31 .id Love That Killed. Kinston, N. C, March'25. A fearful double tragedy has thrown its black shadow over this community. The red had of murder and sucide has blotted out two lives and the very dawn of young m;mbood and voting woman hood. Two pulseless figures found lying in a lonely place not far from -the outskirts of the city were t lie central figures in the Tina1, scene of what ap pears to bo a story of love and despair. The details of the tragedy are some what meagre. All that appears to be known as yet is that on Friday morn ing Lonnie Lane, a young man about twenty-two years old, and Miss Gleu nie Sauls, aged fourteen or there abouts, went for a walk together. Af ter that nothing more was seen of thein alive. In the afternoon their prolong ea aDsence aroused the anxiety of their iamthes and a search was insti tuted, the result of which was the find ing of the bodies. Both were members of well-to-do families. 11 u . . .. an me Liixurnstances indicate that the young man first shot the girl and then killed himself, as there is no reason to suppose that they were the victims of foul play at the hands of a third party. Young Lane had been paying atten tion to Mi3 Sauls for some time, but her family objected and finally forbade him the house. It is supposed that he had been brooding over the affair. and either induced the girl to accompany him with the deliberate propose of ending both lives or committed the deed in a moment of frenzy. No other reason, it seems, can be assigned Tor the deplorable tragedy. The grief of the -stricken families is pitiable. Thus twice within a week this com munity has been shoeked by a bloody tragedy, as it was only last Saturday that Sig Einstein committed suicide here, Lynching Threatened. Bowling Green, O., March 25. E. H. Weetenbaven, of North Baltimore, . one of the best known attorneys in this county, was tnuiderad at Hoyts ville shortly after noon today. He was trying a eace against Paul and John Zeltner, for attorney fees, and when -court adjourned at noon the brothers . demanded certain papers, which he refused to surrender, and was then .shot and killed. Aiter the murder .Zeltner's fled home, wireued by a .crowd of several hundred jjzen. The . Zeltners stood boldly in their yard all afternoon, and defied arrest. There was a frequent .exchange of .shots be tween the fugitives and the erowd at long range and cian named Witten- myer. wno crossed an open epaee, was killed. (sheriff Kingsbury and a posse of deputies were soon on the scene, but the fusilade of shots kept up by ithe Zeltners prevented .any effort being made to capture theei. Later in the day the .Zeltcers retired within the house and barricaded it. A hundred shots were fired into the house, but without effect. The sheriff then de cided to call for the Bloomdale Rifles Meantime a guard was stationed round the house. T&is evening a neighbor of the Zeltners went into ithe house under a flag of truce and tried to induce them to surrender, but they .declined to do so before morning, fear ing the mob. Every effort is to be made to prevent a lynching. KlUtd his Wife While Asleep Tacoma, Wash., March 26. Dr. Charles Corey shot and killed hfs wife this morning while the two were lying asleep. Corey was ill and his story of the affair is that he was laboring under a nightmare, believing his wife ivas be ing pursued by a stranger who was in tent on killing her. In his dream Corey says he followed the two from Tacoma to Washington and just as l,e fancied the man was about to stab her fired twice with his revolver. He awoke with a start to find himself sit ting in bed with a smoking revolver in his hand. Corey had drawn his re volver from its place under his pillow and killed his wife. The relation be tween Corey and his wife have been very affectionate and the authorities believe his story. He is nearly crazed with grief and friends are watching him to prevent his suicide. Mrs. Corey was a leader in social circles. She was afraid of a revolver and frequently suggested fear that she would some day be killed. Corey was not arrested. Are Still Picking up Bones. Sjmnteh Directions. Madrid, March 25. Spanish officers acquainted with the Philippine Islands continue to predict the failure of Major General Otis' campaign, notwithstand ing the American success. They say that while the Americans will un doubtedly win all the battles, they will lose the campaign itself, owing to the aptitude of the Tagalos to conduct' a war f surprises and ambuscades. MaloloB, the capital of the rebel gov ernment, they add, will fall Into the hands of the Americans, but, the Span iards insist, the war will rage as lo- g as the rebels desire it. Now York, March 20.
