Oat Lady Lnm Salt Cam, Aaothsr Two PlnaUafcreUM. On ibe way from her home in Lenoir to Mil too, Florida, where the goes to accept the position of rice-principal in the state school, Miss Madge White stopped in Gastonia ooe day last week to spend the time be tween trains with hen friend Miss Ida Pursley. Thinking it would be per fectly safe. Miss White left her suit case at the station while she was at Miss Parsley’s and was greatly perturbed on re turning to take the train to find that the case and its contents had disappeared. A thorngh search was made and telegrams sent to different points, but nothing could be learned of its whereabouts. The matter was reported to the police hot as yet no trace of It has been found. This is the second time with in a few weeks that an occur rence of this kind has happened at the staition here. Miss White’s name was plain ly written across the top of the suit case, which makes it all the more probable that it was stolen. Beside valuable toilet articles, a prised silver cap which belonged to her mother, Is among Its contents. Not many days ago a lady left two fine umbrellas in the wait ing room while she stepped ont to the train to see a visitor off. When the train palled ont, she stepped back into the waiting room to find her umbrellas, but they were gone. If these disappearances arc dne to the thievish ness of nimbi eC fingered loafers who hang around for the purpose, it is only a matter of a little tints before they will be nabbed by the POISONED IT BEEP. Twi.lbrtk Csnlliiia'i MiimI kf Eating Spoilt Boot la an Atlanta Beatanraat. aS^KSf*’* dispatch from Asheville says: Several day* ago « P»rty of gentlemen, including Sheriff J. H.

The party, not aware that the beef waa spoiled, partook heartily of the food and shortly became seriooe lylll. Mr. Hicks was the worst affected of the, trio. He was taken to hie borne near Atlanta and died from the effects of ptomaine poisoning. Sheriff Pranke and Mr. Conley were ill for several days from ptomaine P°taot|lpff but subsequently re OOVGTtd. . The relatives of Hicka have instituted suit for heavy damages against tkn proprietors of the restaurant and the case will be tried some time this f«ll igAt laata.

Kincaid (or mnrdar in the firat degree vu suddenly terminated at court Friday morning by tbe State's acceptance of submission by the defence to a verdict of manslaughter. It waa currently reported that this submission bad beeu offered to tbe Skate before tba commence meat of tbe trial, but that Solicitor Clarkaoa bad dadlaed to consider it, feel iag that a verdict of murder is the second degree waa tbc IcMt that he could consent to without going to trial. In drawing tba jury Thursday morning, when tbe usual ques tions were pnt as to tbe for nation and expression of opin ion m to tba prisoner's guilt or innocence, about 25 oat of SO men said uader oath that they regarded tbc prisoner m not gwlty. 11 **• “ impressive revelation of sentiment in favor of tbe man wbo «u ou trial for bis life. Bat s jury was finally obtained—a jury of intelligence and fine character. Thursday afternoon was spent in examin ing fiva or six of the State's wit aeaaM. These told tbe story of the shooting in tbe rear room— tbe ware-room—of tbe store. Brown and Kincaid bad come In about the same time, Brown in front. "Here's a man," said Brows to old Mr. Clark, tha dark, wbo was waiting on two negroes wbo wanted some flour, "who ac cuses me of mistreating bis sis ter and I did not do it." Kincaid—Yon did do it. I told yon as long as von came there and treated my mster right, yon could come os. Brown—Yes. you told me that. Kincaid—You didn’t treat her right. Brown—I did treat her right. Kincaid—Yon didn’t, yon lying— Mr. Clark, seeing a pistol in Kincaid's baud, implored bias not tp shoot. As the pistol was brought into position, Mr. Clark threw up bis am and the bullet entered the celling overhead. Kincaid reached around the large man and trad four times, kitbag Brown, who was a smaller man than bim.elf. Kincaid then went out and sur rendered himself, saying that Brown had ruined bis sister and that be had killed him—that Brown had promised to marry her and had married soother woman. The other woman, the bride of an hour, was la court. An other wife of Brown's was ■Iw? in Dallas, and it was generally understood that he had others. At s conference oi the oppos ing counsel Thursday night, the State agreed to accept a verdict of manslaughter, when court convened Friday morning, Mr. Clarkson’s announcement of an agreement to thin verdict waa by an appeal from Mr. K. T. Canaler for clemency—an appeal that waa strong, ar gumentative, touching, and Thera was something in this brother’s devotion to this weak sister that was akin to a mother’s love. An afflicted child, a stricken child, in a family circle always draws from the mother a peculiar measure of affection. The stronger, more robust chil dren would be prosed bv, that the needy one might receive the greater cere. It had been even so *n this brother's affection toward hit fritted sister. The imwiMtliw great, argued Mr. Caasler, while • deep sad solemn etlllnesa pre vaded the court room. When little mote than a child, thia statjer of Kincaid's bad been de ceived by some bad maa. Her brother bad takes her, a motherless girl, with this stain opon her, into hia own horns sod own protection, and for a namber of years bad carefully guarded her. When Brows came to aaa her. ha. was ad vised of these things hot was astared that if bis motives were proper there would be no objec tion to bis visits at the home. Then came the rumors that Brown was to marry another woman. The sister, deceived by Um, went to ber brother with her disquieting Aran,. Brown had promised to starry bar. 1 hold in my head, said Mr. Can slar, letters written to this girl by Brown ia which be lavished apon her the most aflectioaats tftam of endearment. indicating that he did all that he was charged with doing.
