Russian Boat Goes lo the Bottom and Whole Crew is Lost 24 DROWN AT SAINT PETERSBURG Accident Due to Excessive Number of the Crew, Mostly Novices, and Attempt or a Man to Escape While the Manhole Was Being Screwed Down. St Petersburg, By Cable.-Thc sub marine boat Delfin sank at her moor ings in the Neva, off the Baltic ship building yard at ll o'clock Wednesday morning, with the loss of an officer, Lieut. Cherkasoff, and twenty men. The accident was due partly to the excessive number of the crew, mostly inexperi enced men, and chiefly to the unfortu nate attempt o? a man to escape while his."comrades were screwing down the manhole. The officers and men detailed for sub-marine instruction had assembled at the Baltic yard, and three officers decided to go down in the Delfin, al though her captain was not present, relying on the experience of her skilled crew. A score of novices were anxious to go with the thTee officers. The Delfin's nominal capacity is ten men, instead of which number 32 entered the boat, bringing her manhole in danger ous proximity to the river level. Just then a tug passed, sending a heavy wash against the boat As soon as the water splashed into the submarine boat's interior, it created a panic among the novices and one of them tried to get out of the manhole, which the older hands were screwing down preparatory to the descent, the sub merging compartment having already been opened. The water rushed in and as the submerged vessel sank like a stone the officers and some of the men were saved, being blown through the manhole by a rush of escaping air. The Delfin shortly afterward waa rgised. Lieut. Elaguin, who was one of the officers saved, said to the cor respondent of the Associated Press: "The tragedy was like a dream. I remember a sickening sense of suffo cation from the fumes of the storage batteries and then a rush of air and water. The next thing I knew was that I was ashore." The Delfin is Russia's best subma rine boat. She was designed by Naval Architect Boubnoff and Capt. Beklemi Bheff, and underwent a successful trial In 1903. Cloudburst Near Pittsburg. Pittsburg, Special-Over 500 homes, business houses and school houses a short distance from Pittsburg, on the Pan Handle Railway, were inundated in from two to ten feet of water in Robinson's Run Hollow and the Char tiers* valley by the cloudburst there Tuesday night. Many buildings and bridges were washed away, horses and cattle were drowned and at least one life was lost. The loss amounts to $500,000. The Murchland sisters, who conduct a millinery store at McDon ald, narrowly eacaped death in the flood. Their store was washed from its base with the three women in it. They were rescued by Charles Cam eron, who waded out to the building and carried out the sisters one by one. Miss Blanche Bush/a clerk in a news stand at McDonald, had a narrow escape. The store was lifted from its place and swept into the stream. Miss BuBh was caught in the structure, and as it floated away she screamed for help. Her cries were heard by Geo Hemmerling, an oil operator. He plunged into the water and swam out to the building and swam back again, taking Miss Bush with him. Military Allotments.

BELIEVE MANY STRANGE THINGS Innumerable Superstitions Prevalent Among the Sicilians. People of Sicily are vastly supersti tious. The Sicilian believes-to give a few examples-in the existence of a double-tailed lizard which con descends to take in its mouth the win ning numbers of the lottery. He be lieves it is unlucky to marry or begin a journey on a Tuesday or a Friday. He believes in the pewer of maledic tions and of the evil eye and attempts to defend himself against them by wearing amulets-such as the corno, a coral imitation of the horn of the goat-by spitting three times on the ground while pronouncing a magic formula, or (in certain districts) by invoking the name of Virgil, who somehow acquired, during the middle ages, a bizarre reputation as a magi cian. He believes in sorcerers, of whom a goodly number practice pro fessionally on his island, selling to him, among other wonder-working charms, grotesque colored images of St. Paul to be attached to barren fruit trees and barrels in which wine has soured. He believes that a person born on a friday is able to predict the future, and that a person born on June 29 (the fete of St. Paul, who was unharmed by tho viper which en circled his hand) is able to do both these things and to charm serpents besides.

SWEEPING OPINION Judge Speer Hands Down a Ruling of Wide Application AGAINST CHAIN-GANG SENTENCES United States Court Judge Emory Speer, of Georgia, Orders the Rc _ lease of a Negro Prisoner Sent Up By a Recorder, Holding That There Had Been No Finding of Guilt or Innocence by tho Official. Macon, Ga., Special-United States District -Judge Emory Speer, of the western division of the southern dis trict of Georgia, has rendered an opin ion of far-reaching importance, involv ing the authority of municipal courts all over the country to sentence viola tors of municipal ordinances to local chain-gangs. The case came before Judge Speer on a writ of habeas cor pus, applied for by Henry Jamison, a negro, for release from the custody of E. A. Wimbish, superintendent of the Eibb county, Ga., chain-gang. Judge Speer in a lengthy opinion decided that the superintendent was without au thority to hold the prisoner and di rected his immediate release. In passing on the case Judge Speer called attention to the fact that the. commitment from the recorder's court was "a sentence and nothing more," and that there "was no finding of guilt or innocence by the recorder." The question Involved," said Judge Speer, "is whether the recorder of Macon, can, without any sort of criminal pleading, and without the intervention of a jury, convict a citizen twice for violation of a municipal ordinance and sentence him to seven months at hard labor on the public chain-gang, the punishment to be suffered in a branch of the peni tentiary." Continuing, he said: "Can it be main tained in the light of the constitution that one man, under any form of pro cedure, devised or to be devised, by local legislation, can consign, men, women and children to a chain-gang for such trivial offenses as are within the jurisdiction of a police magistrate?" Judge Speer severely scored the chain gang methods and said: "Indeed, it may be with entire accuracy declared that the voluminous and exhaustive preparation of the city attorney and the subsequent examination by the court has evoked no shred of author ity, either American or English, where a sentence by a police magistrate to a public chain-gang, with the ignominous accessories of fetters, the stripes, lash and of the degradation of convict life, has been sustained or even palliated. Tinder the American system the chain gang has no place in the jurisdiction and procedure of police courts where trial by jury is not a Tight of the ac CUSf.J." He declared the sentence of the re corder void for want of due process, of law and because one man cannot judge infamy. "Like thousands of the op pressed and down-trodden," he said, "through all the centuries since that glorious day in the histor yoi the un man liberty when the great ~'ch&0r: made forever imperishable the princi ple that 'no free man be taken or Im prisoned but by the lawful.judgment of his peers or by the law of the land," he applies for the great writ of right, the writ of habeas corpus; he humbly seeks the portals of the courts whose judges are sworn to know no difference be tween the rich and the poor, where jus tice ever bends the listening ear to catch the plaint of the humble and the lowly. 'If," he said further, "the prayer petitioned must be denied, then the statute authorizing the United States Courts and the judges thereof to issue the writ of habeas corpus to protect the rights of the citizen guaranteed by the national constitution, have at last been successfully nullified." Boodlcr Confesses. St. Louis, Special.-It was announc ed that Charles A.

"Columbia Etate, 25th. The dome of the State Capital Is safe. This is the report of the gov ernment expert sent here to make an investigation. Not only is the dome safe, but from his report it appears that the girders are not called upon to bear any unreasonable load. The issue was settled by the report of Mr. Kort Berle, chief structural engineer in the office of the supervising archi tect of the treasury department. This expert investigation was made necessary by the report of Mn C. C. Wilson, the well-known engineer and architect of Columbia. Mr. Wilson had been engaged by the committee to repair the Scate house, and he re ported that the dome of the capitol was unsafe and therefore it would not be advisable to construct the heavy steel ceiling for the main lobby. As so much surprise was created by this report, which was accompanied by calculations, Gov. Heyward decided to get the best talent available to in vestigate Mr. Wildon's charges. Upon applying to the secretary of tho treas ury, who has charge of all the federal buildings in this country, Gov. Hsy Ward was given Mr. Berle as the ex amining expert. The report which he submitted is entirely in opposition to the state ments of Mr. Wilson. Mr. Berle, in adaition to his official position, is a member of the American Society of Civil Engiueers. Gov. Heyward for warded- tho report together with all correspondence in the matter to Col. J. Q. Marshall, chairman of the com mittee to make repairs. After going into the matter at length and in minute detail, Architect Berle concludes as follows: The fact remains, however, that in J no place in this whole construction are there any signs of weakness, not one crack of brickwork or other masonry, no settlement or deflection of any kind; and such would certainly have ap peared by this time, if weakness ex isted, especially to such degree as was feared. In conclusion I beg to state that the government m)ed have no hestitation in substituting the present ceiling of lobby and the covering of the inner dome by a permanent, fireproof and suitable construction, provided the weight of same shall not exceed 15 to 20 pounds per square foot. This canJoe best obtained by light angle or "T" iron framing covered by metal lathing and hard plaster with the proper orna mental finish. If such changes be contemplated I beg to recommend that the two shorter brackets, supporting the inner dome on the ribs of the main dome, be first removed and replaced by similar but ' much longer brackets. It appears that 'one of those main ribs, is bent, and I think this is due to the fact that the bracket does not extend far enough down on the steel rib. The substitu tion of such new brackets can be ac complished without much difficulty, proper shoring being first erected. Attached to this report and forming part of same are sketch showing lay out of the girders and five sheets of calculations. Respectfully submitted, (Signed) KORT BERLE, M. Am. Soc. C. E.

The week ending 8 a. m., june 27th, had a mean temperature of 79 degrees which ls practically normal. The ex tremes were a minimum of 64 at Green ville on the 24th, and a maximum of 93 at Allendale and Blackville on the 22d. The relative tumidity was high in tho eastern portions and was below normal in the central and western ones. There was more'than the usual amount of bright sunshine| There were local high damaging winds early in the week in the northern anl northeastern coun ties. Scattered showers occurred early in the week in the central, uorthern and eastern counties, amounting to more than an inch in the Pee Dee sections of the State, and with variable amounts in the other sections: The reports of .correspondents in clude the rains at the close of la?t week and those of this, both of which were in the form of thunderstorms, and, as is characteristic bf such storms, the showers were heavier in places than in others in the immediate vicinity. The conditions of tho different crops re sponds very closely with the amounts of rainfall received during the last two weeks and varies from poor id localities where the drought is unrelieved, 'to ex ceedingly fine where the. rainfall was copious, and while it is difficult to de termine the comparative areas of these conditions, it is believed that over most of the State the conditions are very favorable. In general the Savannah valley and parts- of the central and northern counties are most in need of rain, although drought areas exist in ali parts of the State. Early corn is about all laid by in good condition; late corn ;s doing well generally but in places the lack of moisture is causing it to yellow. Cotton continues to make seasonable growth, but the plants are, as a rule, undersized on clay and red lands. Lice are less prevalent than last week. Fruiting is reported from all seztions, especially on sandy lands, but blooms continue sporadic. In parts of Chester and Lancaster counties fields are foul, but generally they are cfean and well cultivated. Sea Island cotton ha? made good growth during the week. . Tobacco was damaged by hail in Darlington; selecting and curing has begun in Marion; the tobacco crop is developing rapidly and is ojjite promis ing. Late rice sowing are up to good stands; in the Georgetown districts early rice will soon receive its harvest flooding. Melon shipments will soon be heavy. Peach shipments continue, and the commercial portion of the crop is fres from rot. Wheat and oats thrashing is under way; yields of wheat are generaly above the average; oats yields are variable. Wells are still failing, and water courses dryiug up in a few counties and cattle are suffering. The crop outlook is generally promis ing, but a general rain would-be ol great benefit to all crops. A Highway Attack. Spartanbui'g, Special.-Dr. Arthur O Thomas was the victim of a daring robbery am1 vicious assault Sunday night and the story of the sensational affair reminds one of the uorder days when holdups and highwaymen were the order of the da/. But what makes the event of still more exciting interest is the fact that it occurred just west of the Saxon Mills. Dr. Thomas was returning from a day's visit to friends I at Fair Forest and left there some time after nightfall. He was riding alone in a buggy and when passing an unfre quented spot along the road some one whom he thought to be a negro came noiselessly behind the buggy and struck him cn the head with either an iroD pipe cr thick stick. The blow was very heavy and Dr. Thomas was rendered unconscious. The perpetrator of the as sault then rifled the pockets of his vic tim and obtained about $25 in money and a valuable gold watch. The horse continued the way homeward with the ?lnrons/uons man in (he buesv. It was not until early morning that he recov ered sufficiently to relate an account of the affair. Officers of the police de partment at once went to work on the case and a negro, Tom Richardson, was arrested by Officer Cudd as a suspect. The negro, it is said, lives at Fair Forest and spent the day there Sunday. Dr. Thomas, after Richardson's arrest, left for Fair Forest for the purpose of obtaining evidence against the man in custody or getting information from various sources that may lead to the arrest of the guilty person.
