Marie Watkins, color ed,-thr?w a lighted lamp at Thomasi na Broom, colored. The latter- was sq badly burned that she will 'probably die. From the story' of Florence Geig nard, a small, mulatto girl of some 12 :years and-censiderable intelligence, it seems/' that these) two half grown ne igr?;.glr-ls were An. a- room in the old :bu?d?rg, -which waB .by common con isent/'of.th? many, colored families liv "mg there usecii-?s a parlor. There w?s a 'bed' in this room..and-the two were lying on it. The lampJ nearby on a table had little oihih-it and an alter cation-'arose as to who should fill it A friendly tussel began which merged itself into a'sharper attack.' ' The Watkins woman seized the lamp and threw it at the other woman as she lay on the bed. Her light cotton gar ments flared up and the room was Ail ed with smoke and fire.. So large a blaz? it was that the whole yard was lighted up although it was bright moon light outside. . The Watkins woman, terrified, ran from the room down the hall, down the steps and hid herself. She was found about 30 minutes later by. Officer James Dunning who pulled her out from under a( house and locked her up. The unfortunate Broom girl leaped from the bed and ran out of the room down the long hall screaming in ^ain and fright. As she neared the stair case some one threw a blanket over ber but she .did not stop, and it fel.l away and the flames'leaped higher and liigh?r above "her head: By this time spme. one-was on hand with buckets of water and-hs the' girl fell exhausted at the^stair case" the water was thrown upon her! The spot where she fell was .marked by. the scorched and burnt rags 'of "her clothing; Almost all of it was burned off. She was:-frightfully burned about the hips, back and shoulders. Dr. D. S. Pope, the city physician, was called in and attended the.womau. He said last night^that /while".she might live the nigh?-'through' it .was hardly., probable that "she could- recover. About midnight the woman's condi tion was about the same. She was still alive but was in a critical condi tion. It is hardly probable that she will recover. The case against Marie Watkins will be brought up this morn ing in-' the recorder's court and will probably be.carried up to the circuit court.

A patch containing one -3&:100. a?r?s has .produced--121- bushels^ or about 85 bushels to,the. acre. The very large yield is attributed to close planting. 'A bed five feet wide was thrown pp and the seed planted in -?two-rows 22 inches apart. The stalks stood 20 inches apart in the rows. "Al len's prolific" is the name of the seed used, which was planted during the first week in May. Two tons of cotton oil sweepings, costing about $2, was the only fertilizer used.

As, ... ..over, the tide sweens into the canal twice in every twenty-four hours no appreciable difference appears to be made in the level of the waterway. The danger lies in the possible undermining of the wall at this point. Tho "burst" has occurred at a point where there was experienced great difficulty in building the wall. It has been said that as many as 50, 000 men lost their lives by disease during the French attempt to dig the Panama Canal. It is evident that the United States will go'about the job in a better way, and is already taking '?steps to avoid such a scandal. Surgeon Major Edie, whose experience in Manil la should enable him to judge intelli gently, has studied the sanitary prob lem for our Government, and Col.

New York, Special.-Former Presi dent Grgver Cleveland in McClure's for November gives his personal estimate of Judge Parker as a candidate for President. He Bays of him in part: "We sometimes find features of char acter so prominently visible in a man's mental organization that, like the fea tures of his countenance, they need no proof of their existence. This is pre eminently true of Judge Parker's in tent deliberation in reaching conclu sions and his inherent judicial conser vatism. These qualities of his mind are so distincly apparently that they are at once seen and known by all who gain the slightest knowledge of the man. This should make lt thoroughly understood that those who love presi dential pyrotechnics must look else where. * "I have known Alton B. Parker for more than twenty years. He impressed me on our first acquaintance as a sin cere, honest and able man, and this im pression has, with, time and observat ion, grown to clear and undoubting conviction. I am sure that I venture nothing In making the positive asser tion that the guiding trait of his char acter is his constant and unyielding de votion to duty. "Judge Parker's experience in ju dicial investigation, added to his nat ural aptitude in the same direction,1 ought to satisfy the most cautious and c-iacting of his abundant ability to' dis? cover in the light of constitutional re quirements, and in the atmosphere of enlightened but conservative Ameri canism, the manner in which a Presi dent should best serve his country men, "I ara persuaded that the American people-will make no mistake if they place implicit reliance in Alton B. Parker's devotion to duty, in his clear, perception of the path of duty, in his steadfast persistency against all tempy tation to leave the way where duty, leads, and in his safe and conservative ^conceptions/Of. presiden.tiaL-re.<?DCinsi? Uilties." ' - - In McClure's for November, Sena tor Henry Cabot Lodge gives a glimpse of President Roosevelt as he S63s him. He says of him: "No man has lived the life of his time so amply as he; no one has shown humanity in so many phases, no one has wider sympathies or so many interests. It would be worse than idle for anyone, no matter how intimate his knowledge, to fancy that he could depict a character so many sided, so tried and tested in such multiform experiences, within the space allowed me here. His daily life does not differ in any respect from that of any other very busy man ?of great energy, who finds rest and relief not only in active out-of-door life, but in a wide and constant read ing of books-a habit, by the way, quite as characteristic as au yother, but of which the newspaper critics and humorists tell us little. "Theodore Roosevelt apprehends very quickly. When he has thought a subject out thoroughly and knows what he means to do, he acts prompt ly. When, after full consideration, he has made up his mind as to what is right he is unbending; but no man has been in the White House for many years who is so ready to take advice, who has. made up his mind more slowly, more deliberately, and after more consultation than Theo dore Roosevelt. "Every nation, or rather every his toric lace, has certain attributes in addition to the great and more ob vious virtues which it believes to be peculiarly its own, and in which it takes an especial pride. We of the .United States like to think of the typ ical American as a' brave man and an honest man, very" human, with no vain pretense to* infallibility.. We would have him sample in his home life, democratic iii his ways, with the highest education that the world can give, kind to the.weak, teador and loyal and true, never quarrelsome, but never afraid to fight, with a strong, sane sense of humor, and with a strain of adventure in the blood which we shall nveer cease to love until those ancestors of ours who conquered a continent have drifted a good deal further Jnto the past than is the case today. These are the qualities which all mon admire and respect, and which, thus combined, we like to think peculiarly American. As I enumerate them I describe Theodore Roosevelt." Telegraphic Briefs.

Application for habeas corpus or a demand for a preliminary hearing are also open tc them. This was a brutal murder of Kit Bookard, without even a semblance of sentimen tal justification and Governor Heyward has been working several months on the case with Pinkerton men. There has been heavy expense (hiring the sev eral months the Pinkerton men have been working, but the Governor met this out of his own funds, the contin gent fund having been exhausted. This is the first time a Governor of this State has employed Pinkerton men to ri.'n clown lynchers, anti it is expected to liave u salutary c:ect. Governor Heyward is determined that-lynchings in this State shall cease, and this will not he the last case In which he will employ detectives to ferret out evi dence. At a meeting of the State board of health it was decided to take up the matter of recommending to the Legis lature the turning over to the Federal Government of the coast quarantine service of the State, 'me president of the board, Dr. T.

The Decem ber meeting will also hear from Secre tary Evans as io the report of vital statistics from Columbia, which the city board has for many months been endeavoring to get from the city physi clans. The Governor last week issued a re ward of ?200 for the capture of Sam Brown, the negro who killed Mr. Allen P. Hettington, at Meggets, in August. This was a particularly brutal murder and it aroused much feeling in that section of the Stale at the time. For a time it was thought Brown had been lynched, but he seems to have escaped the mob that was after him. A reward of $150 was also offered for Jim Thomp son, who killed Isaiah Jeter in York county a few days ago. The Governor has appointed two spe cial judges in the persons of J. Y. Culbreath and J. P. Garvey, the former to preside over a two weeks' special term, beginning in Picliens on the 24th of October, and the other to hold a special two weeks' term, beginning in Abbeville on the 7ta of next month.

Mr. Lee, of counsel for the defense, stated that they wore anxious to go on with the case and that if Captain Woods cared to disclose what he ex pected, to prove by Mr. Durrette he thought It very probable the denfeuse would agree to admit Captain Woods did not make this disclosure, but said that he had sent several telegrams af ter the witness and would like a little time to ascertain the result of these messages. Without disposing of the question, the court took a recess until afternoon. A large crowd was in attendance in the court room when the case was call ed. The special venire from Petersburg, from which a jury will be drawn to try the case, was present. Mr. McCue, when he came into court, was affection ately greeted by his children, all of whom were present except Samuel. Ula youngest daughter cried bitterly while seated in her father's lap. Comment was made on the fact that Mr. Durette, the chief witness, should have gone to Ronceverte, where the children of thc accused were taken sev eral weeks ago and from which city they returned.

Changing each gray rock Into a mass of gold. And gilding all the cloud waves fold on fold. Your twilight spell upon me scaled down: Your softly sandaled feet touched minc. Your gown rou gently wrapped about me, and grief lied. For I forgot my heart had over bled; No longer sobbing pine or ebbing sea Had power to sadden either you or me. Unto the soul those deep eyes mirrored near. I fondly told each, secret wrong and fear. And loved you more because you heeded me; Then came thc day when I did chance to see A glistening tear upon your cheek, and knew With tender pity, that you suffered. Few Had broken from so brave a.heart. The te?r Hung self-confessed, for lo! your sorrow, deflr, Was strangely like to mine; the likeness told.
