FEARING THIEVES, SHE STARTS
FOR BANK AND IS KILLED;
BURGLARS ARRIVE TOO LATE
. Pittsburg, Pa., Dec. 3.—Fearing that
her home .would be visited by burglars.
Miss Nancy McConnell, an aged and
eccentric woman of Westmoreland
county, started for the bank with sev
eral thousand dollars in cash, which
she had kept in the house for months,
only to be run over and Instantly killed
by a train.
She had hardly left the house when
the expected burglars arrived and loot
ed the place. To add to the further
complications, at leant half a dozen
wills disposing of her estate, which Is
valued at almost $1,000,000, have been
found, and what will undoubtedly de
velop into one of the greatest will con
tests ever fought In the local courts,
has already been started.

New York, Dec. 3.—Chairman Shunts
fdenle* that his daughter. Theodora. Is
engaged to a French nobleman. And
his language was rather vigorous, too,
as he climbed off the Panama boat
"Yeit, Miss Shunts is an American
girl, and she has good American horse
sense, so 1 think there need be no
alarm.” said Mr. Shohts when asked
If he thought there was a possibility
that his daughter. Theodora, would be-
cotne the bride of the duke of Chauitet
and Picqulgny, as it had been reported
she would do.
Continued Mr. Shunts:
"The reported engagement Is untrue.
Both tny daughters are scarcely out of
school, and will not make their formal
debut in society until December IS,
when we open our new home In New
Hampshire avenue In Washington. The
girls nre grent friends of the duke's
family, and that may have been the
foundation for the report of the en
gagement.”

* 'hattuiiooRii, Tenn., Dec. 3.—For the
| third time the supreme court of Ten-
tneasee has evaded the Issue raised by
I attorneys as to the execution of the
[Hamilton county commission law In ex
cluding negroes from the Jury box. The
[-last time was when the court affirmed
( the decision of the lower court In the
case of Kd Smith, u negro convicted ot
1 attempt to assault May Fletcher, an In?
i mate of an orphans' home here, and
given fourteen years In the peniten
tiary. In his case the Issue was raised
by his attorneys charging that negroes
had been excluded from the jury box.
I which, they alleged. Is u violation of
[the fourteenth amendment.
In tht* Will Rivers murder case the
[ same Issue..was raised, as was also in
I the Floyd Westfield case, in which
[ West Held was sentenced to hang for
[ the murder of a constable, but whose
has been remanded for a new
I trial. Thesupreme court refused to act
this question, but derided these
cases purely on their merits.
New York, Dec. 3.—So sure Is Mrs.
Harry K, Thaw of the acquittal of her
husband at his forthcoming trial for
file murder of Stanford White, that she
is negotiating for the purchase of a
home in Paris, where the Thaws will
take up a permanent residence If the
young man Is liberated from 'the
Tombs.
Mrs. Thaw said:
"When Harry leaves the prison we
shall take the first ship from New York,
leaving America behind forever. I
have ulready made arrangements for
a piece of real estate for a modest
home. You see how certain I am of
Harry's acquittal.
"I would rather live In Paris than In
any other city In Europe. We both
feel It would never do for us to remain
here after the trial, so I am making
all arrangements to make our depart
ure for the French capital.
"Many theatrical managers have ap
proached me with tempting offers from
|50o to $3,000 a week. But, as I have
said, tny health is such that I am com-
1 adled to take the best care of It or
else find myself In a hospital."
TYPO’S NAME ALL
Their old officers
At the amnia I meeting of Atlanta Ty
pographical Union No. 48, held Bunday,
practically the same officers now serv
ing were nominated. These officials
have been so faithful and efficient that
members of the union felt that changes
were not advisable.
-ft was practically agreed that the un
ion would give $500 toward the new
Temple of I^ubor, and their moral sup
port was pledged to the enterprise.
A committee warn appointed to begin
work on the program for the annual
celebration of the birthday of the print
ers' patron saint. Benjamin Franklin,
which will take place January 17. It Is
expected that the celebration this time
will come up to any previous occasion
'-arranged by No. 48.
