It appears that her majesty was walk-

an Italian anarchist suddenly ap-

The empress fell, got up again aud was

not recovered consciousness the captain
returned and the empress was carried
to the Hotel Beaurivago, where she ex¬

The murderer is a man named Luc-

parents
The empress of Austria was born Dec.

Although she was a girl of the most
remarkable loveliness, the marriage
gave great offense not only to the im-
perial family, whom it served still fur-
ther to estrange, but also to the Aus-
birth and the emperor was regarded as
haying been guilty of a mesalliance in
wedding a princess not of a reigning
family, but merely one of the ducal
houses of Bavaria.

Chance of Becoming Next Executive
and If He Does It Will Be a Hard
Blow to Tillmanisin.
Columbia, S. C., Sept. 14.— In the
second Democratic primary election tho
vote has not been quite bo heaYy as in
the first. Prohibition Candidate Feath-
erstone is giving Governor Ellerbe the
closest race known here in recent years.
The vote so far stands: Ellerbe 22,498,
as against 22,299 for Featherstone.
Cooper leads Tompkins, present sec¬
retary of state, for that office by 2,836
votes; McMahon has a lead of 5,669
votes over Brown for superintendent of
education; Floyd beats Blythe for ad-
jutant general , by 10,000 votes; Railroad ,
Commissioner Thomas is beaten for re-
election by Mr. Garris, who has a lead
of 16,183 votes, much greater than
Thomas’ whole vote.
D. E. Finley beats Attorney General
Barber for congress in the Fifth district,
Returns from the primary are as yet
incomplete, but indicate a very light
vote. The race for governor is close,
with chances slightly in favor of Gov-
ernor Ellerbe. Featherstone shows
, strensth . and possibly
may win.
Featherstone’s strength is not alto-
gether from the Prohibitionists, but
largely from opponents of Ellerbe,
whose weakness has caused wide dis-
Batifaction with his administration,
