flP fi
* home of his brother, William H.
Harper, near Martin's Station, as the
result of injuries sustained Monday

' , Vauglrn Appeal.
V,
Greenville, Jan. 3.?Attorneys for
T. U. Vaughn, now under sentence
in the State penitentiary for alleged
' wrong doing while superintendent of
the Odd Fellows Orphanage, Tuesday
evening served upon Solicitor
Bonham the proposed "case and exceptions
for appeal to the supreme
? * " court in the cause of the State, respondent,
versus, T. U. Vaughn, defendant-appellant.
In broad outline, the appeal to the
supreme court is based upon three
alleged irregularities, viz (1) the rejecting
by the presiding judge of
three talesmen and the refusal of
,
* the judge to bar another talesmen
from jury duty; (2) the fact that
Vaughn is sentenced to death by electrocution
when the crime he is charged
\yith having committed was punishable
by hanging at that time; and
(3) that Vaughn's confession was
considered by the court, jury and
others as an admission of guilt as indicated
(that is. guilt of rape) when
really it was an admission of guilt
jof great moral wrong.

BLAKE'S WOUNDS FATAL.
Young Man Shot December 23 Dies
in Columbia.
Columbia, Jan. 4.?John C. Blake,
who was shot on Monday night, December
23, at the Seaboard depot by
J. A. Parker, died at a local infirmary
to-day. His condition had been
critical since the shooting, though at
times he rallied and his family and
friends, hoping for the best, took
that he might eventually re
cover. The most serious of his two
wounds was the one inflicted in the
abdominal region, the bullet lodging
in the spine, making a wound that
was extremely dangerous.
Mr. Blake was 24 years of age. He
was born at Guthriesville, in York
county. When a mere lad he went to
Rock Hill, where he learned the
printing trade in the office of the
Rock Hill Herald. About six or
seven years ago he came to Columbia
and since then worked almost constantly
for both the Columbia State
and the Record, first as compositor
in the advertising department and
later as linotype operator. He was
a member of Columbia Typographical
Union, No. 34.
Mr. Blake's mother, Mrs. W. S.
Dubose, came to Columbia the day
after the shooting and was in attendance
upon him until a few days ago,
when she was compelled to return
home on account of pressing business
matters. She will arrive from
Of Charlie Snmfor nrmntv and thp
funeral arrangements will be made
in accordance with her wishes. The
remains have been taken to the home
of Mrs. J. W. Marshall, an aunt, at
No. 1,314 Bull street, pending the
funeral arrangements. Besides his
mother, of the immediate family, Mr.
Blake is survived by two sisters, Miss
Margaret Blake, a trained nurse at a
local infirmary; Mrs. W. P. Flowers,
of Bishopville; three brothers, Sam
and Alex Blake, of Rock Hill, and
Robert Blake, of Nashville, Tenn.;
Miss Carrie Irwin, an aunt, and his
grandmother, Mrs. Irwin, of Rock
iHll, and sister, Miss Blake, were
present when the end came this- afternoon.
Wouldn't Let Him Move to Town.
Williamson, Ga., Jan. 4.?Because
he wanted to move back to town and
his wife wouldn't let him is the reason
given for the suicide of Edward
McLendon, a prominent nurseryman
of Concord, who shot and killed himself
at his palatial country home,
near Jolly, Saturday.
There is no other reason of hig
self destruction given.
McLendon was one of the wealthiest
citizens of this conuty. He had
been associated with Dickson &
Means, of Zebulon, up to several
years ago, when he began the operation
of a nursery and farm near
Jolly. He builded a handsome country
home soon after he married. He
had been married tnree years.
Tried to Kill Col. Blalock.
Clinton, Jan. 4.?Yesterday morning
a man named D. L. Boozer, infuriated,
it is said, because Col. L.
W. C. Blalock had taken some negroes
off his place, came up to Goldville
with the intention of killing the
colonel. Several shots, it is alleged,
were fired into the Blalock home by
Boozer and some negroes who were
with him. Then Boozer proceeded to
the Blalock store, where, it is said,
he shot and kicked out all the glasses
in the store.
Most of the citizens of Goldville
left town as soon as the affair started.
Boozer was taken to the* Laurens
jail.
TROOPS GUARD SUSPECT.
Alleged Assailant of White Woman
in Jail.
Ocala, Fla., Jan. 5.?Troops were
called out here this afternoon to prevent
the lynching of J. J. Johnson, a
negro preacher, charged with assaulting
Mrs. John Hewitt, wife of a
Citra, Fla., orange planter, late yesterday.
To-night the prisoner is being
guarded in the Marion county
jail here by the local military company.
Johnson was arrested early this
morning. The sheriff's posse was
guided to his home here by bloodhounds
and the negro is alleged to
have made a confession.
When the news of the negro's capture
was made public citizens from
the surrounding country began tc
assemble here. Fearing a concerted
attack on the jail the local troops
were called out.
Mrs. Hewitt was dragged from a
vehicle in which she was riding, near
Ocala, by a negro and assaulted.
Later she returned to her homd and
gave the alarm.
"Did you ask your gin s fathei
for her hand in marriage?" "I did."
"And he refused you. I can tell by
the way you look." "No he didn't
He gave his consent." "Then why
the peculiar look you are wearing?"
"He was so darned willing."?
Houston Poet.
FOUR BROTHERS' TRAGIC END.
Break Through the Ice and Drown
While Coasting.
Utica, X. Y., Jan. 2.?New Year's
day brought death to four sons of
Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Kahler, of Croghan.
Ray, Roy, Francis, and Daniel,
ranging in age from 7 to 16 years,
were coasting near their home. They
went down a hill onto thin ice along
the edge of Beaver river. The ice
broke and all went into the stream.
Near Boardsmanville, Milo Williams,
14 years old; Homer Williams,
12, and Raymond J. Fath, aged 11,
were drowned. Young Fath broke
through the thin ice. While trying to
rescue him the Williams boys and
Charles Fitch, a companion, also
broke through. Fitch was the only
one of the four who was able to
reach shore.
Suit Against Saluda Man.
Saluda, Jan. 2.?L. E. Wheeler and
J. J. Wheeler, of this town, have been
served by a deputy marshal, R. L.
Werts, with a summons and complaint
answerable within 20 days in
$10,000, by A. A. Cannavan, of Boston,
Mass., for injuries to his person
while in Saluda recently.
It appears that some days ago Cannavan
with several other parties
were in this town soliciting subscriptions
for a farm paper. It is said
that Cannavan insulted George C.
Wheeler, father of L. E. and J. J.
Wheeler, on the street, although it
is said J. J. Wheeler was only an onlooker
and took no part in the altercation.
Cannavan left here the next morning
for Augusta and from that point
it was announced that his skull was
fractured and that his person showed
marks of a severe character. The
suit is for damages in the sum of
$10,000.
Kills Wife and Himself.
Bellport, N. Y., Jan. 2.?Henry C.
Edey, a wealthy retired Wall street
broker, sbot ana Kinea nis young
wife in their home on Great South
Bay to-day and then blew out his
own brains. The murder and suicide
followed by some six weeks Mrs.
Edey's reconciliation with her husband,
whom she left last summer.
Mrs. Edey's bedroom, where the tragedy
was staged, gave evidence of a
violent struggle. Servants on an upper
floor were awakened by revolver
shots and rushed in to find Mrs. Edey
dead and her husband dying. She'
had fallen in the doorway, apparently
in a futile effort to escape.
Mr. Edey failed to recover consciousness
and died before a doctor
reached him.
Mrs. Edey, 12 years younger than
her husband,# left Bellport last summer
and was gone until the latter
part of November. On the same
train which she took was a young
man with whom she was acquainted.
He has not made his home here
since. Both Mr. and Mrs. Edey have
declined to discuss her stay out of
town since she returned.
Mr. Edey retired from active business
several years ago.
BATTLESHIPS SAFE IX HARBOR.
Seven Reach Hampton Roads After
Battling with Storm.
Norfolk, Va., Jan. 3.?After battling
with the severe storm which
raged off the Virginia coast, seven
United States battleships arrived in
Hampton Roads. They were the
Utah, Ohio, Virginia, Georgia, Nebraska,
Minnesota and Idaho.
Several launches started ashore
soon after the battleships arrived,
but they were tossed about like
corks, and all but two put back for
safety. A launch from the Wyoming,
en route for the pier at Old
Point, with several officers on board,
was being, swept towards the ^sea
; when a tug went to her assistance.
Minor damage was reported on the
receiving ship Franklin, and the old
frigate Jamestown was burned to
the water's edge. The Jamestown
was anchored near the Norfolk navy
yard. She was blown away from her
moorings and when well off shore
was totally destroyed by fire.
The British steamer Berwinvale is
1 reported to have been in a collision
1 with an unknown vessel off the Virginia
coast, but no confirmation of
1 this could be obtained to-night. Unconfirmed
reports are to the effect
that several torpedo boats en route
to Norfolk were caught in the storm,
1 and that battleships have been ordered
to search for them.
