The following-dispatch appeared
yesterday in the Danville Register
from Williamsport, Pa. "Mrs.

the motive for her attempt at
self-destruction. She nad been
confined in a sanitarium at Watkins,

she escaped and came here.'"
A dispatch from Baltimore says:
"M rs. John A. Benedict is from
Athens, (Ja. A sister, who is
the wife of Dr. Frank Martin,
resides in this city. Mrs. Benedict's
husband Athens two
years ago and grief over his death
is said to have induced an attack
of melancholia. Mr. and Mrs.
Benedict were prominent in social
circles in Athens."
The readers of The News will
remember that about two years
ago J )hn A. Benedict, at that
ume cashier of the Kxchango bank
of Athens left the city very sud

fifteen or sixteen thousand dollars
of the hank's money.
Benedict was last seen in Greenville
a few weeks after the bank
shortage was discovered. He
disappeared as suddenly and as
mysteriously as he appeared, and
it is said has not been seen since.
A number of his relatives, detectives
and newspaper men came to
Greenville and seached the city
and surrounding country in every
direction for the missing man,
but nowhere could he be found.

Florence, dune 15.?Sunday ,
reform has struck Florence.
Council inaugurated the movement
at its lust meeting by tacking
an ammendment onto the ice ordinance
that tied it hard and fast,
making the trouble to secure ice
un the Sabbath so great, that few
persons will care to bother about
it, even in cases of sickness.
To the cigar and soda water
stands the wave of reform has
spread and,beginning with tomorrow,
all such places will be forced
to suspend traffic on Sunday.
Chief of Police J. C. Brunson has
notified all the drug stores and
hotels to close their cigar and tob- j
acco cases, uud it is expected that |
all will comply, though the hotels '
are disposed to make a kick- No i
cold drinks; c?n lm t#?ld
The city ordinance relating: to !
j tthe
observance of the Sabbath is
strict, positively forbidding the i
sale of anything except medicines J
ind drugs, and ice when a cortiti- I
eate is presented. Milk can be
delivered at stated times.
City council takes tho position
that the ordinance is unnecessary |
if not enforced to the letter. The
policemen have orders to look out
for violators of the Sunday law,
the penalty for which is a tino of
not more than $*25 or imprisonment
of not more than lodays.

A Free Man Again.
The Governor Has Issued .John G
Ghaftin a Pardon. A Famous
Greenville Homicide.
The Stnte, 15th inst.
.John G. Ghaftin wan pardoned
yesterday. His is a celebrated
case. A little over 3 years ago he
killed Warren E. VI. Grube, an
architect, Ghaftin was a contractor
and had been doing some building
in Greenville under Grube's
directions. Gbaffin was convicted
of murder and sentence* to the
penitentary for life. The case
was carrid to the supreme court,
and he entered upon his imprisonment
in December, 188ft. Governor
NlcSweeney has for some time
been in recept of letters and petitions
begging for the exercise of
executive clemency *in this case.
The reasons suggested were that
the conviction was unjust; and
thut, even if Ghaftin were guilty,
the condition of his family calls
for pity.
Among those who wrote Gov.
McSweenev were citizens of
Shreveport, La., and of Johnson
City, Tenn., where Chatlin had
lived before ho came to to (irtonvillo.
Citizens of those places declared
that Chatlin was a peaceable
man. A great many prominent
public otlicial and ministers wotc
to the governor in Chatlin's be,
half.
The main point at issue was
whether or not injustice had been
done Chaflin. There were affidavits
submitted to show that
evidence on which Chaflin might
hnvo boon acquitted was not supplied
in the trial.
ino directors of the peniten
tiury unanimously recommended
'pardon. .Judge Klugh, who heard
tho case, declared that the verdict
| was a righteous one in all tho
! circumstances submitted. Solicii
tor Ansel declined t<? rwiln ?
recom mendat?on.
The two affidavits on which the
governor based his decision were
submitted to show that Grube-was

show tl*\t Gruhe was left-handed,
and thus da naged Chartin's self
defense.
Miss Stella Bobs has since the
trial made an affidavit that she
hud known Gruhe and tha* he was
ambidextrous. When playing
cards or writing he could use
either hand. Miss Bobs is herself
left-handed, and for that r< son
was particularly impressed
with G rube'a faculty.
Mr. W. II. Cely also made an
affidavit that Grubfe could use
either hand. This made it possit
ble forGrube to have bad a stick
in h's right hand with combative
intent when Chaffin shot him.
Gold in The Catawba
The Bed of the Itiver is a Vartiable
Gold Mine.
1 lie tlmr lotto Observer save
that the gold miners who have
been operating a hydraulic plant
in the Catawba river have made
the discovery that the black sand
in the lied of the river is rich with
gold. An assay of a quantity of
this sRnd recently made, allows m
yield of $350 per ton. This is an
extraordinarily rich yield, and if
' all the sand in the company "'a
workings holds up to it, the result
will be a veritable bonanza.
Inasmuch as the bed of the
Catawba has been washed out in
many places by the recent flood,
the bottom? along tho river must
i lio rich in gold dust and a retort

to the primitive system of panning
might prove profitable. ? Rock
