Rut,sell Sage, 1 the many timet-million

ant in a suit to recover f100,000 for be
trayal under promise of marriage, has
been revealed by proceedings in Judge
Bookstaver's part of the court of com
mon pleas. The case came np on a mo
tion, which was denied by the court,
that an order extending the defendant’s
time in which to file an answer, be va
cated. The complaint in the case was
served April 20 last, and a partial an
swer was filed June 26. Several con
flicting motions have been made in the
court, apparently for the purpose of
concealing from the public the nature
of the action.
The plaintiff in the case is Miss Delia
Keegan. In her complaint,, which was
served April 29 last, she states that she
came to this country from Ireland in
1868. Her sister was then employed as
• cook in Russell Sage’s home, and Mies
Deha went there to stop temporarily
with her while she was Hooking for a
situation. She alleges that Mr. Sage,
who was at the time a widower, there
betrayed her under promise of mar
riage.
No reason is given why the plaintiff
allowed a period of 25 years to elapse
before bringing the present action.

An Accidental Shooting
Which Resulted Fatally—
He Had a Premonition of
His Death a Few
Days Since.
Five Forks was considerably stirred
up Wednesday evening about dark by
the aooidental killihg of one of its
most popu a young men.
The sudden report ot a gun in the
home of Mr. Fanlkner, of coat place,
put the people on notice that some
thing had happened and it was only a
few minutes until it was announced
that Mr. Polk Faulkner was dead.
Young Polk Faulkner had been out
to the oountry and was just returning
home. . He walked into a room in the
hoiue where his younger brother wss
sitting with a friend.
Over to the corner sat an old gun that
belonged to Jim Fanlkner, his brother.
The gun hadn’t been loaded for throe
yeare,but it to always the unloaded gun
that idoes the mtoohief. The young man
didn’t think it was loaded, but as it
happened it was loaded, and that too
with buokahot.
Polk Fanlkner took the gnn in hia
hand and said jokingly: “Boys, I be
lieve I will kill myself.’’ They toughed
and so did be. He then started to set
the gun awsy, and hit brother osught
hold of the gnn to help lower it to the
floor.
Just at that moment a deafening re
port came, and Polk Faulkner stagger
ed backward to the floor. The full
load of buckshot hsd entered just below
tha chin and ranged upward through
the brain. Daath was almost instanta
neous.
The family of the young man were
horrified beyond measure and their
gritf was inconsolable. The shooting
was purely accidental, and of course
greatly to be regretted.
Mr. Faulkner had a premonition of
early death, for only a few days before
the fatal aooident, he told his auht
good-bye, telling her that he would
never see her again.
The funeral of the unfortunate young
man took pl&oe yesterday.

DESTROYING CROPS.
The Work of an Army of Grass
hoppers.
The grasshopper is in truth a burden,
in Clarke county just now.
Fora regular army of those insects
bos taken possession of a certain por
tion of the oounty, and are playing
havoc with the crop*.
They were first noticed several days
since when they were near the old
Phinizy place. They were to a drove
and oovered the ground completely for
more than an acre of tpice. They
were then moving along rapidly and
entting down everything to their way.
Wednesday they strack the farm of
Mr. F. M. McLsroy, about three miles
from this plane and at 12 o’clock com
menced their work. By night they hsd
eaten ap an acre and a Half of oorn and
cotton and were still engaged to their
work of destruction.
At one place where they had to cross
a small branch, they literally damned
up the stream, and the army passed
over.
At last aooounts the farmers had got
ten together and had ten negroes at
work driving them back and killing
them. The most effective way of des
troying them seem] to be the toroh,
and the farmers are burning them np.
They are doing much damage but
will be stopped soon.
