MULES AND COW DIE IN FIRE.
William Gnswaway, of Anderson,
Loses lin ni and Content?.
(Anderson Mail, Jan. 2.)
Three mules and a cow burned to
death, and another cow will die as
the result of burns received when
the barn of William Gassaway, who
lives two miles from Sandy Springs,
was destroyed by fire Tuesday night.
All feed stuffs, etc., In the barn were
also destroyed.
The fire was not discovered by Mr,
Gassaway until the roof was falling
in-too late for anything to be done
toward getting out the stock or any
of the other contents of the barn.
Mr. Gassaway was awakened by the
noise made by the animals in their
efforts to escape the flames, lt was
about 10 o'clock at night.
It is not known how the fire origi
nated. The barn was a good, big
building, substantially constructed,
and having six stalls with passage
way, and two sheds attached. There
was a large quantity of feed stuff
and other things stored inside the
building.
The loss will be heavy on Mr. Gas
saway, as ho carried no Insurance.
A Tennesse lady has a parrot that
speaks 200 words.
HOW TO RESIST
Chronic Coughs and Colds.
Strong, vigorous men and women
hardly over catch cold; it's only when
the system ls run down and vitality
low that colds and coughs get a foot
hold.
Now iBn't lt reasonable that tho
right way to euro a cough is to build
up your strength again?
Mrs. Olivia Parham, of East Dur
ham, N. C., says: "I took Vinol for a
chronic cough which had lasted two
years, and the cough not only disap
peared, but lt built up my strength
aa well."
The reason Vinol ls so efficacious in
such cases ls because it contains In a
delicious concentrated form all the
medicinal curative elements of cod
liver oil, with tonic, blood-building
Iron added.
Chronic coughs and colds yield to
Vinol because lt builds up the weak
ened, run-down system.
You can get your money hack any
time If Vinol does not do all we say.

EDE Y COMEDY ENDS IN TRAGEDY
Millionaire Who Married "The Fisher
Maid of Amity ville."
New York, Jan. 2.-The crimson
finger of Fate, and what neighbors
term retribution, wrote a new and
blood-stained chapter in the history
of the alleged unhappiness of Henry
C. Edey, the wealthy retired Wall
street broker, aid his wife, "tho
beautiful fishing girl of Amityville,"
to-day, when Edey shot his wife to
death, and then turned the smoking
gun on himself and blew out hiB own
brains.
Tho murder and suicide occurred
In tho bedroom of Edey's palatial
home on Great South Bay. Those
who reached the room first found
Mrs. Edey lying in the doorway,
where she had fallen In her vain
Hight lo escape from the bullet that
her husband sent crashing after her.
Nearby, Edey lay dying from a
bullet from tho same gun, which he
turned on himself, only after he had
made sure that he had wiped out his
revenge in the stain of his own wlfo's
blood.
Servants and neighbors who reach
ed the scene could not help acknowl
edging that tho double tragedy had
been well planned, because Edey's
last act had been sure that his wife
was dead and that the bullet he was
to fire into his brain would leave no
possibility of recovery. Efforts to
sav Ddey's life proved futile.
Story of Tragedy.
The story of the tragedy that ls
said to have haunted the lives of the
millionaire and his beautiful wife
could form tba plot of the most dra
matic . novel. The wedding of the
rich broker and the daughter of the
fisherman, after Edey had been di
vorced In 1897 from Mrs. Lottie
Carlton Edey, the sensational re
ports of how the young Amityville
beauty, soon after her marriage, had
quickly quit her husband's palace to
elope with his liveryman, the be
lieved gossip that Edey ? ad taken
the wife of his liveryman for his
compensation, and the announcement
of the reconciliation of all parties,
have formed chapter after chapter
for the dealers In polite scandal, until
to-day's finis was written in the
blood of the two principal characters.
Henry Edey first came into promi
nence for hlB fondness for fishing.
Ho came Into social notoriety by his
divorce In 1897 from his first wife,
Mrs. Lottie Carlton Edey.
Even while the divorce proceed
ings were on, it was hinted that
Edey had found and loved a girl
along the shores of Great South Bay.
She was said to be the "daughter of
a fisherman and possessed the fatal
gift of beauty."
Shortly afterward the marriage
was announced of Edey and Miss
Katherine Llebenov, the daughter of
tho Amityville fisherman. Edey
brought his bride to one of the most
wonderfully built homes along the
bay, and the only , stories told were
of the happiness of the two.
Living as servants in the Edey
palace were Gardner Murdock, a liv
eryman and his wife, and fate de
creed that its web of destiny should
be woven around this liveryman,
woven until lt should enmesh the
beautiful fishing-girl wife, as well as
her husband, and could only be bro
ken by bullets that were to claim
the lives of the two whom Great
South Bay greetod as "the happiest
of couples."
All went nell In the Edey palace
i ntl] last August, when village gos
jips were thrown Into frenzied hap
piness by the statement that Mrs.
Edey had quietly left her home.
Gardner Murdock also was gone.
A few days later Mrs. Edey re
turned and stated that she had mere
ly taken a trip to see friends. She
did not account for the disappear
ance of Murdock, who also returned
about the same time Mrs. Edey came
back.
Hardly had tho echoes of theso
rumors died away, when villagers
learned that Mrs. Edey was fond of
horses. Edey bought her a hand
some pony.
Ho also bought Murdock a horse
and asked him to teach Mrs. Edey
how to become an expert horsewo
man.
The villago gossips again began
their speculations. Dally rides be
tween Mrs. Edey and Murdock wore
given as tho reason for tho reported
attachment between the two. Eager
tongues carried tho stories still fur
ther-not onl> wore Mrs. Edey and
Murdock involved, but Insinuations
grew Into statements that Edey, left
alone, had formed an attachment for
tho wife of tho liveryman-lover of
Mrs. Edey.
The reports came home and Edey
and Murdock met in a rough and
tumble fight In the drawing room of
the Great South Bay palace. In the
conferonco which followed between
Edey and Murdock, the wives of the
two were called and the four sat In
final iudgment as to the outcome of
the complex, abnormal and strange
conditions.
The conference was held In the
same drawing room of the rich

man had clashed In a fistic fight only
a few hours before.
It was agreed that separations
should follow. It was reported a
few days later that Murdock, the
liveryman, confided to a friend that
he and the separated wife of the
millionaire were to be married in
the latter part of August.
Friends of Mrs. Edey still tell how
the broker's wife must have felt
some restraint over leaving her hus
band. As she and Murdock, the liv
eryman, were at the Bellport station,
a truck rolled by with a coffin on lt.
The woman shuddered as she said:
"I would willingly change places
with the person in that box."
A day or two later Mrs. Edey was
found at the home of a married sis
ter ?n New York city. She said that
she had not eloped with Murdock
and that her husband had attempt
ed reconciliation and that she had
taken a week to think over the mat
ter.
After a week in New York, Mur
dock pretended to sail for Texas and
said he was going to have a vaca
tion. He denied the elopement story
as earnestly as did Mrs. Edey. But
before tho vessel left the dock he
jumped from the gangplank and re
joined Mrs. Edey, who was walting
for him.
Mrs. Edey immediately gave out a
statement ia which she said that by
.mutual agreement she and Murdock
were going to Texas, chaperoned by
Mrs. Edey's aunt. Seven days later
came the announcement that Mrs.
Edey was going back home.
What transpired in the setting for
the final act of the play will never
bo known, unless there are letters
that have been left behind. Murdock,
the liveryman, had evidently passed
out from the Hst of active players,
though he may have been a memory
of tho former scenes, and that mem
ory may have caused the tragic end
ing to-day. Mrs. Murdock had ceas
ed also to be among tho players.
When the curtain raised Thursday
on the final act only thc millionaire
broker and his wife retained their
original parts, and the last act of
death was fought out between them
alone. If fate had not decreed that
the play should end In secret, the
world might know what caused the
murder and suicide.
Mrs. Edey wras killed before she
could summon help. Edey died with
out regaining consciousness and car
ried his story to tho grave.
