b t. another. "Ed Sheehan. a cotton
mill 'operative at the Avon,
created a sensation at the Clara
Mill Sunday evening: just about
dark by shooting- his wife three
times and slashing- his throat
with a pocitet knife in an attempt
to end his own existence. That
he failed to accomplish his dia
bolical purpose was altojjether
accidental and was in no sense
due to his lack of purpose. Both
are still living: with good chances
of recovery, though the wounds
inflicted on his wife are of a
serious nature.' Only two of the
shots fired took effect, one in
the small of the back and the
other in the shoulder blade.
Physicians were summoned and
probed for the bullets. They
succeeded in extracting one but
the other remains in her body.
Sheehan and bis wife have
been married about two years,
though they have not lived to
gether all this time. Before
unarr.age she was OUie Hefner
and, it seems that she has re
ceutly been staying- witn some
of her people at the Clara Mill,
while Sheehan remained at the
Avon where he was working.
Sunday Sheehan went to the
house where his wife was staying
and endeavored, it is stated, to
persuade, her to return to his
house and live with him. This
she refused to do, whereupon he
told her that he wanted to die,
To this she is said to have re
plied, "Well lie down and die"
liut oneenan aian't want to go
alone so he proceeded to use his
pistol in a seemingly desperate
effort to put his wife out of the
way before starting- on the long
journey himselt. Thwarted m
this purpose, he turned on him-
self and slashed his throat with
a pocket knife, inflicting a seri
ous but not fatal wound. Phy
sicians ana omcers were sum- j
moned. Their - wounds were i
ressfcd-and, should "Sheehan re
cover, tie will nave a serious
charge to meet in the courts.
Both Sneehan: and his wife
have unsavory reputations
Only recently Sheehan complet
ed a term on the county chain
gang: for driving- a horse to
death. His wife, both before
and since marriage, has been - in
the police court on charges of
conducting a disorderly house.

The above is considered by an

in this simple mixture, yet those
who have tried it say the results
are simply surprisiug, the relief
being: effected without the slight

Asserts Also That Many
Classes oi Goods Are Scarce
Can't See Any Spots on the
Commercial Sun.
Geyer'a Stationer.
A most hopeful forecast of the
business situation was made in
New York on Tuesday of this
week by former Postmaster
General John Wanamaker.
Running over from Philadelphia
to atteud the ceremonies incident
to the formal opening of the
new twelve-story adjunct to his
great department store o n
Broadway, Mr. Wanamaker was
interviewed with regard to the
business outlook.
"There is nothing the matter
with business," he declared
emphatically.
"Manufacturing cannpt let up,
because I find that in many
classes of goods, particularly
the best classes, supplies are
scarce. Merchants are not spec
ulating, but they have funds,
made in business, which thev
are taking care of to discount
bills."
"Wall Street," resumed Mr.
Wanamaker, "is agitated, but
Wall Street is a world by itself.
It kicks money around as though
it was a football. In the main,
it is a great game of speculation.
"At times," continued Mr,
Wanamaker, "the country is fill
ed with wonder at the power of
a lew to tie up money and to
project it into great corporation
movements that for the time be
ins: make banks and trust com
panies their partners and indi
rectly affect the mercantile busi
ness. But the country at large
is not affected by the spasms of
Wall Street. The country can
be counted on to continue in
good financial health.
" wagesre nigner tnau ever
before in the history of the coun
try, and, I believe, fully offset
the high prices prevailing;. I
feel sure that it can be proven
that a'Uiajonty of the mercantile
world was never in so sound
condition.
The working population is
putting more money into sav
tugs lunds than ever before.
There may be spots on the
commercial sun, but we cannot
see them any more than we can
see the spots on the orb of the
day with the naked eye."
