Mllburn and othfen was filed Tues day with the sheriff of Richland jttee count/. The charges are ter/ direct in their wording and the plaintiff aaks for damages In the sum of 1200,- 000 for the unsatisfactory manner In which the State house was completed through the alleged "fraudulent and oolluslTe agreement to cheat and de fraud the plaintiff." The summons was drawn by Messrs. Mitchell and Smith of Charleston, at torneys employed by a committee con- elating of Senator Aldrich and Repre sentatire T. Y.

The complaint avers that Eiward J. Moll vain, J. O. .Unkefer, S. B. Qoucber and Jas. C. Johnston, form ing the firm of Mcllvaln, Unkefer & Co., and Frank P. Mllburn, architect, are the defendants against whom the on suit Is Drought. The paper recites that In February, 1P00, the legisla ture set aside 1175,000 of the sinking fund for the purpose of completing the work on the State oapltol, and that the commission, with Qov. M. B. McSweeney as chairman, selected Frank P. Mllburn as architect, and op also-charged.

The complaint charges further that the firm ‘after said collusion and fraudulent agreement" carried out the work Improperly and furnished defec tive material n lt being well under stood that the plans and specifications bad been so drawn and would be so Interpreted by the mid F. P. Mittrarn fend literary bureau of the committee so as to permit the same to be done,” and that thereby they procured from the plaintiff the sum of $158,806 for the payment of work done and mater ial furnished "wholly defective, Insuf ficient and values to the plaintiff for the purposes of the completion of the State bouse.” It is charged that the contracting firm "obtained and converted to their own use a large amount of valuable material belonging to the plaintiff” and also "when acting in p ret entire performance of said contract exposed the enteilor of the State house to the weather," etc. ‘ In conclusion the complaint de clares: "The plaintiff is Informed and be lieves that by the aforesaid acts of the defendants done and performed under their aforesaid fraudulent And collu sive agreement to cheat snd defraud the plaintiff that plaintiff has been damaged In the sum of $200,000.”— The State.

The "keynote" of the Roo-evelt policy is taken from the president’s "Oliver Cromwell,” on page 52, be ing: "In great crises It may be neo- to overturn constitution, to dis regard statutes,” etc. This la given as the first quotation in the pamphlet. It then Is shown that President Roose velt, In the course of his writings, has taken occasion to excoriate each of oar chief executives from Jefferson to Lincoln, with the sole ex eptlon of John Quinoy Adams, it being stated the introd notion to these quota tions that the president’s apparent disregard of our national precedents aud traditions possibly may be ex plained by bis opinions of those who Million Bales. ^ ^^ u'.eans the totals of the 11th of August, IWQ.

' GROUNDS OK COMPLAINT. Failure to perform the contract is for HI03-04 amount to 10,011*374, charged In tbe foHowThg pprtlCulaxs^ ^gaiust 10,727,559 la*t year and 10, That the work done and the mate rial furnished was not equal In any re spect to work done snd and material furnished on the previously completed portion of the main building, marring tbe effect of the fiae work upon the main building. That the contractors removed the fine steel celling of the rotunda, and carried away the material, substitut ing therefor a ceiling of plain material costing not over $500. That the two granite oolumns Id tbe Inner part of the front portico were not placed as required by con tract. These columns, It Is alleged, would have counteracted a tendency of the portico to pull away from tbe main building. That In lieu of carving leaf work on the oolumns equal to tbe leaf work on the capitals of the old oolumns, "a coarse, unsightly and unfit leaf work” was substituted. That the columns in the rear por tico should have corresponded with the columns In the front portico. This was not done, no lintel stones were placed there and sheet Iron boxes to represent granite were substituted. "Defective glass flooring and cheap, shoddy, stamped iron celling” was used in tbe portiooa That the roof Is of tar and gravel imperfect In quality, It Is alleged, and with the gravel of Improper siz^s. The roof Is said to leak badly, flood ing tne main lobby. There are no ventilators to carry off the air be tween the celling and tbe roof. That the dome Is given 4 lot of space in tbe instrument It 4 said to have been constructed In a crude and unworkmanlike manner, full of crimps and kinks. The inner dome Is not securely supported, according to this complaint, sod there are other alleged deficiencies. After numerous other specifications In the complaint, all of secondary Im portance, It is alleged that no protec tion was Afforded for the interior of tbe building while the roof was being \ galleries were flooded snd tbe painting and feorsooing was ruined. « x C.HABGR8 CONBJ3ll4*,'Y.=i-^ The plaintiff believes thfet Mr.’Mil- burn and tbe firm of contractors "oollusively and fraudulently agreed together that tbe work to be done under the aforesaid contract should he insufficiently and Improperly done.” and that said Frank P. Mlluburn— well knowing tbe same to be defec tive, Improper and ineufflolent -falsely and fraudulently certified in writing that the payments for tbe same had become due." And onthis oertificate of Architect Mllburn tbe said contract sum was procured to be paid to tbe contracting firm and the plaintiff dal ms to have. been damaged to tbe extant of $200,000. The second cause of action reviews in formal way the matter of the ap- proyrlatlon and the making of the contract. The complaint then states: "Plaintiff la Informed and believes t the said Frank P. Milbnrn in- and purposing to cheat and the aald State of South Carolina so prepared his specifica tions and plans In the matter as tbe a m to leave tbs same open, general and vague and ambiguous in many reepeota so as to enable him by opllu- ■ion and confederacy with any contrac tor to cheat and defraud tbe State by performing the aamtalther well or 111 as tbe said Frank P. Mllburn migfft lledda.” It is obarged farther that the architect fixed the plana so that he "might require tha contractor to per* focus the Mine at great expense or be therefrom and also that he were given out Wednesday evening. They show receipts of cotton at all United States ports for tbe year, 7,252,222, against 7,724,104 last year; overland to northern mills and Canada, 939,943, against 1,083,383; southern consumption taken direct from tbe interior of the cotton belt, 1,819 209, against 1,920,072, making the cotton crop of the United States 680,680 the year before. GDI lonel Hester has made hla usual invest 1 # .Lieu iu o the consumption of the south and has received reports by mail snd telegraph from mills consum ing cotton In the cotton growing states, including woolen mills that have used cotton and the results show a total of 1,091, 252, but of this 100,- 043 were taken from ports and in cluded in port receipts. This shows that tbe mhls of the south have used up 81,477 bales less than during 1902,03 and 18,719 less than during 1901 02, the decrease being due to tbe unsatisfactory condition of the goods trade and the relatively high prices of the rsw material compared with the manufactured product during most of tbe seaton. Colonel Hester’s fall report will be Issued Thursday or the day after and will coatain interesting and valuable facts, showing tbe consumption of tbe south by states, tbe takings and con sumption of northern mills and the world’s consumption of American cot ton. He will also give the crop by states and facts in relation to the In crease in the spindles of southern mills. T0V8 OF P0WD1R BXPL0DR8. Played Havoc With Lite and Prop erty For Mllea Around. Eight hundred kegs of powder ex ploded Wednesday in.the press room of tbe Latin and Rand powder works, two miles east of Ponxsutawney, Pa., instantly killing one mao, se> iously in juring three others and causing costly destruction of property. The dead: Leoard Bair, 21 years old. The injured: , Lot Hair, superintendent of tbe press mill, probably recover. Wm. Van Dykei engineer, probably reo >ver. Sheridan Valhoun, boiler tender, believed to be fatally hurt. The press room, which was about ' ivmovMtHd ta consequence all of thef forty feet square, was totally destroy ed. Leodard Bair was in the building at tbe time of the explosion. When bis body was recovered among tbe ruins after the accident, it was> found that part of his head had been literally blown away. No other part of his body was In the least mutilated. The three other men were In an engine room 200 feet away from the press room. Each was severely cut aod bruised by piec?s of flying debris, and all were knocked unconscious by the terrific force of the explosion. Other buildings in the fee tory enclosure were wrecked, and every building within a mile of the powder works was damaged. The resi dence of Powder Boss Speno, 2,000 feet from the plant, was ruined. The cause of tbe explosion will probably never bfc known, as Bair was tbe only man in the bnlldlng at the time. Tbe violent shock of the explosion caused every building In Punxsntswoey to tremble on its foundations. j-*® Burned to Death. At Sprlgnfleld, Mass., Sister Gohn of the Little Franciscan Slaters of the Sacred Heart lost her life Thursday morning while trying to Mve that of her patient, Mrs. Fred Pssaina An oil stove exploded In the Pass!no home, where the sister bad been a nurse since Monday, and It Is thought her habit caught fire from the biasing oil. r in stead of Mvlng herself she ran to the aid of the sick woman. The fire de partment rescued Mrs. Paaslno snd her baby, but Sister Gohn was dead. A created those precedents.

Further documentary evidence on Mr. Roosevelt’s views Is now being gleaned from the President’s writings, and will form a good part of tbs cam paign literature of tbe Democratic campaign managers. ——‘-r— THE COTTON CROP. A Fall of Seven Points In tbe Staples Condition. The monthly oottdn crop report of The New York Journal of Commerce ss generally anticipated shows the condition of the crop to have declined during the month of August. According to the speolsl repot ts of this Journal there was t fall of 7 points during the month. R ports were received from over 1,300 corres pondents, their average date being August 24. The condition reported is 77.4 compared with 84 4 last month, and is about 2 points lower than a year ago, but between 8 and 7 points better than in 1902 and 190H The meet serious decline is In Te* ss, where condition Is repoiusu at 68, a drop of J.4 points during tbe month. Yftre advices received since these re turns suggest still farther deteriora tion owing to tbe hot and dry weath er.

E. cotton than Texas. Excessive rein followed by drought and then shed ding and rust were tbe principal caus es of lower conditions in most states except where In addition to unfavora ble wefether the boll weevil Is doing considerable damage. Dur correspondents express consid erable alarm over the ravages of the weevil, but a year ago, It will be re called, these pests caused much ex citement in tbe infected regions, al- the government statisticians, placed tbe damage to the entire cotton crop from this cause at less than 3 per cent, and the Texas yield declined only 26,900 bales with the previous year. In Texas tbe crop is fully one week early. In other states It is generally one week late, A year ago tbe crop was two or three weeks late. In Au gust, 1903, the condition advanced about 3 points, but dropped over 12 points daring September of that year On the labor question It is worthy of note that tbe correspondents gen erally report no important difficulty on that score. Missouri is the only state showing Improvement. This was three point to a condition of 89. Oklahoma remains unchanged at 92 Otherwise the declines extend from l point In Georgia to 14 points In Texas. Tbe condition in these states being.81 snd 68 respectively. 'North Carolina declined 8 points to 82, South Carolina 2 points to 80, Florida points to 81, Alabama 7 points to 7,9, Mississippi 7 points to 79, Louisians 9 points to 79, Arkansas 4 points to 76, Tennessee 5 points to 83, and In dian Territory 3 points td 77. Boll Weevil Increasing The Stats says tbs government is sending out in South Carolina, through Section Director Bauer, stat istics concerning tbe boll weevil. Tbe weevil is making rapid inroads in Texas and from July 16 to August 27 it became known In many new locali ties in tbe Lone Star State. "Cotton continued to make good growth and Is fruiting snd boiling well, with bolls opening and and some picking belcg done; on account of hot has suffered some damage over nearly all portions of tbe section, especla&y over the Chickasaw and Choctaw nations, where much shedding has been report ed; generally the crop condition and prospect continues good,” says the Oklahoma and Indian Territory re port. ful. It reads: "The cotton crop has suffered decidedly from tbe drouth snd high temperatures in the north era two-thirds of the State. Growth has been greately retarded. Very lit tle new fruit is being made and m at of that Is soon thrown off. The boll worms continue to be quite destruc tive in a number of northeastern counties. Boll weevils are punctur log nearly all the squares In the southwestern, central, eastern and coast divisions and are doing much damage as far north as Dallas, Kauf man and Hunt counties. The bolls open rapidly, in some localities prema turely, and picking is now In fall pro- Krjss. The staple Is generally re ported to be rather short.” Dropped Three Stories.
