Slioppard, f t UeralliiiR Thrilling Scenes of '70, When South Carolina Was Redeemed Addresses Survivors of Famous legislative Body. Featuring a day devoted to memories of the past, the Reunion of the #, . survivors of the famous Wallace 'fclouse, in Barnwell Thursday, was an event notable because ol its uuique ?ees and. historical significance. It is the first Reunion ot men who com posed-a most radical and determined tJOdy. ' In -the course of history there were few such law-making bodies; in ' fhct, ,there have-seldom been such exigencies that necessitate such assom , 01 ages. , Tho Wallace House, convened No.vemJDer 28, 187 0, in the old Carolina .Han, at-Columbia, with Wm. 11. Wallace, of Unjon, as Speaker, was for _ tj)e purpose of redeeming South Carolina from Republican carpetbag and negro rule. Thursday seven of thp twelve survivors of that body met in 'Reunion in old Barnwell, rich in his tory and tradition. Jt was befitting; it was a happy thought of the Barnwell. Fair Association, of which the * Hpn. Harry D. Calhoun is the mov. Ing spirit. . . Of the events of th? day, which included a parade of Confederate Voterane, an elegant address to them by U. C. V. Commander B. H. Teague, of Aiken; a barbecue, horse races, a baby show and other things, was the eloquent speech of former Governor John C. Sheppard, of Edgefield. Time baa* dealt very kindly "with Oovernor . Shenpard, as his comrades to-day affectionately called him. He is not an ?Id man,, despite hla 6 2 years. These Jxo carries well and there remains much of the fiery eloquence of other ;;d?ys. ,On the trains almost two days .in a hiiTried journey from St. Louis he came Thursday .to be with his .comrades, veterans in millitant legislation. It was his first visit to Barnwelt since 18?2, when he and Capt. B. .R, Tillman spoke to a tremendous Crowd at Blackville, then came on there, and from there went to Allendale. Gathered' there were former Governor fifieph'ard, Major John VV. Holmes, of Barnwell; Majcn1 J. W. Oraiy, of Greenville; Capt. J. B. Humbert, of Laurens; John G. Gulngnard, of. Lexington, then of Aiken; M. A. Rountree, of Barnwell, and Claude 8. Sawyer of Aiken. It was an inspiring scene'when, *n tTie course of hi a, address, Governor Sheppard ln? fcroduced singly his six comrados, and they were greeted with outbursts of a.pplause by the large crowd gathered about the Court House. Following the formal exercises on ihe pu'blit square was an Informal res . nSeptlon at what Is now Known as the Brovtfn House, now owned by Mrs. . "Lena Davies, of that city. It Is of interest to note that this house was the headquarters of Gen. Kitpatrlck, of Sherman's army. On the mantel board in the reception room are tne heel prints of the "Yankee scounTfrel," mute' evidence to-day of luxaVlating comforts to which he treated himself. This little recep vtion, informal and not* scheduled, ;\waa the treat of the day, although the reception Thursday night was marked unbounded hospitality,, and the afternoon'.consumed with unabated attention to the. dist inguished guests. At the reception Thursday morn "ing good cheer prevailed. It was a happy gathering, an'd those who have mhde history in South Carolina revelled in the glories of backward glances through the corridors of time, down which they have come with honor to themselves and their posterity. Old stories were told, not the threadbare anecdotes of the chronic . *y.arn spinner, hut tales of real occurences. Much, love and humor was tdded to the oocaslon by the presence of Col. Alfred Aid rich, an honpred son of Rarnwell. To his distinguished father, Judge A. P. AMrich, Governor Sheppard Thursday paid a fnagnlflcent tribute. A .toast was drunk Thursday morning, proposed by Governor Sh^ppard, "Mere's to . tfcrt world: we came In It all naked and bare, we go through It In toil and care,, wo go out of It, no one ever knowns where, but a thoroughbred ' fte're la a thoroughbred there." To this sentiment each survivor and each guest responded with a will. ' The absent ones were: Cavt. Chas. JPetty, of Spartanburg; Wm. Hood, of CBar.tow, Fla.; J., Thomas Austin, of JTldew.ell, Ga.; John W. Wofford, of Hendersonville, N. C., nnd John B. Erwin, of Washington, D. G. Letters from each of tho last named wero read and to the absent ones a silent tOast was drunk. ' Seen on the street and participating1 in the parade was a negro, Joe A. Simon, pure Democrat and "Red Shi rter." the old fellow now quite an aged man. Ho rode In the great Hampton parade. Thursday he rode in an old ox cart of '7(>, was dressed fri the flaming red insignia of determination that characterized *7 6. "Old Joe" was the property of Dr. J. J. O'Bannon, father of Harry O'Uanj non, Esq., now of Barnwell. Members of the Wallace House ' were as follows: Abbeville?W. W. Bradley, R. R Hemphill, W. A. Conner, Wm, Hood T. L. Moore. Aiken?C. E.

Contending that the half-brother >f her husband, for whose murder lie served twenty-tnree years in tate prison made a deathbed confession that he was the slayer, Mrs. Charlotte Epps, now more than sixty ears old. is preparing to sue Indiana or financial reparation. Since Mrs. Epps was paroled six /ears ago she has been living with her daughter In Toledo. O. She appeared at Huntington, [ml., recont'j, old the story of the dying confession nd engaged a lawyer. Ifer story follows: "1 married John Epps in 1SS2. Fits .other had {ust died, and he and h'j> alf-brother, Ed Mise, were alona. 'datives and friends who sought his noney advised him not to marry m?. \t all times Ed Mise, who recently lied, was pleading with .tonn to deed him all of his property, as he (Ed * -aid he was older and had better judgment. This John refused to do "We had been married a few months when one day John went to rut corn. About 11 o'clock In the oorning he came home, saying that he was too sick to work, and immediately went to bed. I cared for him ih tenderly as any one could have lone. He had the best physicians .possible, but in a few days he died. "I lived at the house for two weeks after his death, until Sheriff Bowman came after me with a warrant for my arrest for poisoning my husband. I went with him and was put in the Huntington jail. "In November my trial was held and, although I maintained my innocence, they found me guilty on criminal evidence and sentenced me to prison for life. No one suffered as I did in those twenty-three years and six long months in that place. "Recently 1 heard positively that Bd Mise had died and that he made a complete confession before he died. Acting on the impulse I immediately "!?me to this city with a desire to find recourse against my persecutors. I have taken the advice of attorneys and will at least fight to clear my name." Since the woman told her story it has been impossible to find the man it whose house the murdered man's half-brother died. 1 Mayers ('both Republicans). . Chesterfield?J. C. Colt, D. T. Red fearn.

Convinced that she was a spy In he employ of the Chlcugo Law and >rder League, hired to Inform gainst the band of White Slavers, vhose victim she had' been, the potee of Georgetown, Conn., sent to the olice of New York, Chicago, lloston ud other cities Tuesday night reuests for the names of women missung from their underworlds in an ateinpt to solve the mystery of the nuider of the young woman whose ody, stabbed and mutilated, was ( ound wi ighted with a seventy-live ound stone in a pond at Redding, sear Georgetown Tuesday. New clews unearthed make it apear certain that the uni lentified wo- , ian was the companion of Genevi- , ve Cavalieri, who was taken to n onely woods near Stratford, a few veeks ago, by White Slave agents. , nd shot to death. On the bank of the pond was found i night gown perforated at the left shou-lder, as with a knife; and stained it the bottom. The victim had been stabbed under the left arm, and she wore the gown at the time she was slain. The immediate -cause of death was a stab wound in the left temple. The initials, "G. C." found on a bed spread, wound around the body, irdicate that she was a companion ( of the Cavalieri girl, murdered at Stratford, because in the latter's ef- ( lects were found many articles bearing the same initials. The girl who was known to have come to Stratford from Chicago with the Cavalieri girl, dropped out of sight soon after the latter's murder. The police believed she tried to secret herself nearby, knowing that she wouia suuer a iute like the other woman should the White Slavers find her. Apparently 1 she was murdered In the room in which she lived, and her body borne to the pond, and the police think she may have met death, possibly in New York and her body carried where it was found in an automobile. Richard Apelquist, a weaver, living on the Portland road, about three hundred yards from the spot where the body- was found, told of a mysterious incident he saw Friday night, which has convinced the' police that the body was thrown into the lake at that time, and that the crime was the result of a well organized plo. SOME FREAK BETS. Pulled off in Maine on tlie Result of the Presidential Election. Henry J. Winterbottom, of Sidelinger's Mills, Piscataquis County, made a wager with (Jeorge W. Bythere of Bowerbank, by the terms of which, if Roosevelt did not carry the state of Maine, he was to give Byther a large red apple for every vote of Wilson's plurality. Considering that Wilson carried it by about 2,500 votes, and that eacn ana every apple must be perfect in all respects and full red, Winterbottom may have to pick over his entire crop of apples to get the required number of the quality and description stipulated. In Jackson, Eli Saunders, another defeated Bull Mooser, must pay t*he penalty of poor judgment by polishing Ed Mosher's boots every morning for six months, while Ed sits on the postofflco steps. * In Macwahoe, Ansel dilley, a Bull Mooser, must pay for all the tobacco Lester Ordway uses until next Fourth of July, and In the meantime abstain from tobacco himself; and Ansel Is the champion chewer of Aroostock County.

' The wreck was caused by the failure of the head brakeruan to clom the switch to. a siding on which b heavy freight train had been run tc let the rapidly running passenger more than an hour late, pass. Carl Gross, the head brakeman, hat assumed blame for the disaster. He is under police guard at a hospital where he lies with a broken leg. Late in the day, after the wrecking crews had completed the search for the demolished passenger ears, tin coroner's ollice gave out a corrected list of the dead, as follows: C. F.

Burg, fireman on passenger train. The pasenger train, No. 3 6, from Cincinnati to Chicago, was more than an hour late and at the time of the head-on collision was running more than forty miles an hour. The engineer had been given a clear track Both he and his fireman were found dead in the cab of their engine. All of the passengers found dead were in the smoker* and day coach, which were immediately behind the steel reinforced mall car. Both passenger cars were of wood and completely demolished. The Injured In many cases remained pinned under heavy timbers until chopped out with axes. The Injured were removed to nearby residences and later taken to the Deaconess Hospital there, where several died. The bodies as fast as irh f r tKo tl/ 1/ Q If, IIIV/ WOIC UiUll(S"l- II Ulli lll^ m vvnubr were conveyed to the morgue there to await Identification. Passengers who were not injured and those in Pullman cars, continued their Journey. Inspectors tor the State railway commission were on the scene almosi immediately and began un exhaustive Investigation. Albert Seed, of Louisville, one of the passengers, told of his remarkable escape. "1 was awake,*' said Seed. "1 felt chilly and was putting on my overeat when suddenly I heard a crash and the next thing I knew I was sitting beside the wrecked traino. I could hear men and women crying for help with the help of others 1 found un axe and chopped a hole in the side of the car. Firemen soon arrived and began carrying out the bodies." The sound of the collision aroused the neighborhood. Many homes were thrown open and the injured carried in and given first aid treatment before being sent to the hospltnl.

At New York on Friday night Governor Wilson annoijnced that immoddiately after his inauguration as President of the United States he would call an extraordinary session i)f Congress to convene not later than April 15 for the purpose of revising * " "t ppst speculation as to what he would do with regard to tariff revision, he issued the fol?OV> J.0 CCvtiV.uVlU) "1 shall call Congress together In extraordinary st'ssion not later than April 15. I shall do this not only because I think that the pledges of the party ought- to be redeemed as oromptly as possible, but also bet-niiso r Iftmw It tn he in the interest of business that all uncertainty as to to what the particular items of tariff revision are to be, should be removed as soon as possible" Beyond this brief announcement the Governor said he had nothing further to say. Most of the opinions he had received from public men seemed to be in favor of an extra session. ho declared. The Governor did not Intend to express himself about an extra session so soon nfter his election. Although he has fovored the Idea of an extra session heennse the present arrangement would not bring the new Congress into session until thirteen months nfter his election, he had expected to snend more time in ascerr>. v??o on'n'on With the time to be consumed in discussion tn.? ?v?v. et nor u.-k that if an evfra session were not. cal'od. the benefits of tariff postponed for practically two years. i i,. <> u .. i. ee campaign the Gov< ". till' tl.1 fj "ql rn(f an Immediate revision of the tariff, and that ihe Democratic leaders know perfectly how to prbceel about it. The Governor was ininrpqqo(j by the argument also that with an early announcement ns to an extra pension Democratic leaders In Cr>u<rrotss could V begin to take counsel at an early date T so that much of the preliminary detail could be worked out before Congress corvened on Anril 15. The Governor was prompted.
