Monday night Kline awoke with screams of fright and said that some one was in his room trying to kill him. It was evident that he was suf fering from delirium. He was quieted, but remained restless during the night. Early Monday morning a young man "ho boards in the house passed the open door of Kline's room.

Philadelphia, Aug. 28.—The Real Es tate Trust Company this 4 afternoon closed Its doors, following the meet' Ing of the clearing house association. The failure amounts to $7,600,000. Investigation of the affairs of the institution, following reports clrculat ed after the sudden death last week of Frank K. Hippie, president of the trust company, disclosed a serious state of affairs. Despite the fact that the directors of the company, according to general report, h&d pledged themselves for several million dollars in an effort to preserve the institution, the clearing house association's investigation is be Ueved to have counselled an immediate suspension of business. There are/rumors to the efTect that Mr. Hippie's death, which was assigned to cerebrial hemorrhages, was not the result of natural causes. The trust company, according to its last statement had deposits aggregat ing $7,500,00. There were between forty and fifty bank presidents and other of ficlals at the meeting this afternoop. a While no official statement had ben issued up to a late hour, it was stated that the development at the outset was far from favorable and that many of those who were anxious to hepl the company out of Its difficulty earl; realized the Impracticability of sue action. The real estate company was Incor porated In 1885 and was always con sldered one o fthe strongest financial institutions In the city. Hippie was president continuously from the time of Its organisation. The Real Estate Trust Company’s last report was made on May 26. T £ FIGHT ffi Police Board Factions to Resume Con- • flict.

Americiui, Ga., August 28.— With the midnight train from Sa vannah last night arrived one of the deepest mysteries that haa ever developed in Amerieus. The conductor put off here the corpse of a man who seemed to have been about 45 years of age. He got on the train at Rochelle and died be tween Leslie and Amerieus. The cause of his death seems to have been consumption. He is entirely unknown here and no information can be obtain ed as to his identity. Paper in his pocket seems to indicate that he waa an inspector of insurance ap plicants. He is rather bald, with some black hair, blue eyes, fair complexion and weighs about 100 pounds, being five feet four inches in height.

For some weeks the plumbera have been at work getting evidence. There are some 8,000 houses In Atlanta without bath tuba.

It has been a bone of conten tion ever since and had It not been backed by Tillman’s political power and prestige the opposition claim would have been driven out of the state. Last year sixteen counties revolted and un der the Brice law voted the dispensary out of their respective counties. Ths Brice law was Introduced to permit York, Saluda and Horry counties to vote on the dispensary. There has been so much talk of cor ruption and graft In the state dispen sary that a committee was appointed to Investigate. The state waa on Are wltl) the revelations. Csndidatss In th* Rac*.
