May Form Tri-State League. < The prospects for a tour or six-team ( baseball league in South Carolina, 1 North Carolina and Tennessee is grow- 1 ing more promising every day. Spar- tanburg has already gotten matters in 1 such shape that if three other teams 1 can be secured she will enter the 1 league. 1 Asheville, N. C., Columbia and Knoxville are now mentioned as towns likely to enter the league. Columbia has just organized a baseball associa- 1 tion and the matter is being taken up in Asheville. The prospects for league, bal lare regarded as very bright at 1 the present time. 1 i V* 1 Death of Colonel Gibbes. ' Colonel James G. Gibbs. state land 1 agent and one of Columbia's oldest and '' most distinguished citizens, died at his ( home in* that city the past week. He 1 had been in failing health for some * \ time, but the news that he had suffered a stroke of paralysis was a shock to < his many friends. His physical condi- 1 tion was such that he never Tecovered 1 consciousness, nor was he able to rally * in any way. Colonel Gibbes was mayor of Columbia when Sherman's army came through. Perhaps the most distinguished service he rendered his country during the war was the securing, from a wealthy German nobleman, the loan of $6,000,000, to repay which was pledged the product of the cotton fields of the southern states. Mr. Gibbes was born in Columbia on the Gth of January, 1S29. ^ Only a Few Children Affected. The child labor bill, known as the ! Marshall law. went into effect throughout South Carolina on the first of. this month. Under its provision no child * under 10 can legally work in any cot- 5 ton mill. ( There were so few of such em- J ployees that the enforcement of the law did not create a ripple at Colum- * bia. a great factory center, where about twenty children were affected. These reported for work as usual, but were promptly turned back and not permitted to work. An exception is made in the law in cases where the labor of children under the prescribed age is absolutely necessary to the support of a widowed mother or helpless father, but no ' case of that sort arose in Columbia. * * * Post Office Robbers Convicted. In the federal court at Greenville the past week Torn Hamilton, William Oliver and Joe Bird were convicted of robbing postoffices at Autan, Pendleton county, and Iva, Anderson county, the robberies having been committed on the night of February 2 and 3. respectively. Judge Brawley sentenced ^ the defendants to serve five years each in the Atlanta prison. f Twenty-two witnesses were examined for the government, while no testimony was offered by the defense. Dis- I ..trict Attorney Capers displayed mark- 3 ed ability in prosecuting the case. He v was ably assisted by E. F. Cochran. t The men were captured in Georgia c several weeks ago, and were incarcer- 0 ated in the Columbus, Ga., jail until I they were removed to South Carolina g upon an order signed by Judge Newman. It is probable that the cases pending in Georgia against the men will be nolle prossed. At the conclusion of the above case, the court began the trial of James Lang, Charles Rogers. H. B. Wilson, and Walter Wood, charged with rob- ^ bing the postoffice at Greers. Greenville county, on the night of January 16. Three witnesses were examined by ' which the government establisiied the 1 fact of the robbery. The case has excited considerable interest and crowds ' 1 I yrere present to hear the evidence. | The defendants are alleged to be members of a gang of postoffice robbers known as the Xolan gang. PRIEST HELD FOR MURDER. Sensational Aftermath of Mysterious Killing of a Young Girl in Lorain, Ohio. A special from Lorain, Ohio, states that Rev. J. Walser, a priest, was arrested Saturday on the charge of the murder of Miss Reichlin, and was taken to jail at. Elyria. Mayor King, who ordered the arrest, said he did at as much for the priest's protection as for anything else. The police have abandoned the theory that the murderer entered by the ladder and window. The hounds found no trail from the ladder nor in the yard. Rev. Walser was a guest for the night at the house and his room adjoined that of Miss Reichlin. The doors between the room could only bo locked from his room. Rev. Ferdinand Walser celebrated his silver jubilee at St. Joseph's college, Renssalear, Ind., March 15. He Is 51 years of age. On the Sunday fol lowing he was tondered a great reception at Sacred Heart church, lie went to Lorain on Wednesday last as a guest at the home of Rev. Charles Reichlin, pastor of St. Joseph's Catholic church in that town. The latter was called to Kelly's island to officiate at a funeral late Wednesday. At his home he left his sister and housekeeper, Agatha, and a younger brother, Ca<=imir, to entertain the visiting prie3t. During the night, according to the story of Rev. Walser. he heard screams from the room occupied by the girl and declared that he gained the hallway just in time to see a man disappearing through an open window. When Casimer Reichlin reached his sister's room she was dead, her head having been nearly pounded to a pulp with some blunt instrument. Bloodhounds were sent from Fort Wayne, Ind., and given the scent of the murderer. The dogs circled around the house several times and finally went to the room occupied' by Rev. Walser on the night of the murder. They again took the trail and led the officers direct to St. Joseph's hospital, where Rev. Walser slept the following Qight. He was found at the hospital and placed under arrest, the officers claiming there were many suspicious circumstances against him In addition 1 to the bloodhounds following his trail. Rev. Walser showed no excitement when placed under arrest and declared oe was innocent. The murdered young I * tvoman was handsome and had many 'riends and admirers.

INTERESTING INTERVIEW As for Himself, Mr. Hanna Says He Has no Aspirations in that Line and Concedes a Clear Road to Roosevelt. Senator Marcus A. Hanna is not a candidate for the republican nomination for president next year. In an interview at Chicago Monday he concedes the dictinction to President Roosevelt. He thinks there is much significance in the Cleveland revival at St. Louis last week. "This Cleveland revival certainly looks significant, he said. "Do you regard 4r. Cleveland as a democratic possibility?" "Yes, I think he is." "Does it look to you as if he would get the nomination?" "One can't tell this far ahead what a convention will do." "Do you think a party would go on record for a third termer?" "It might." "Do you think Mr. Cleveland could he elected?" "Oh. that's another thing." "Your friends seem to be talking a great deal about the likelihood of your nomination." "Oh. it is only my foolish friends who are doing that." "Then you will not be a candidate?" "No. I will not be. I shall not meet any of the political leaders here. I came only to attend the meeting of the civic federation." Senator Hanna delivered an address to the students at the Armour institute and shook hands, with hundreds of friends who flocked to the hotel. MARCUM ASSASSINATED. Attorney for Feudist Faction in Kentucky Shot Cead on Court Hou>s Steps at Jacksoni. Just after he had finished filing papers, reopening the contested election cases of Breathitt county, Kentucky, Hon. James B. Marcum was shot and killed by an unknown assassin. He fell in his tracks in the front entrance cf the court house at Jackson, and never spoke, death being almost instantaneous. He fell within a few yards cf where Town Marshal James Cockrell was shot down in July, the assassin being stationed in the court house in each instance. Marcum was counsel for the fusionists, who are contesting for the offices of county judge, sheriff and other places now held by democrats. As a result of his efforts end his sympathy with the Cockrell iaction in the Hargis-Cockrell feud, he had for a year been generally regarded as a 'marked man." Various plots to assassinate him have been reported and sworn to by affidavits. For seventy-two clays last fall he was a prisoner in his own home, daring not even to go out ;>n his porch. The bitterness of the feud somewhat abated, however, and the election cases were allowed to sleep until Monday. At 8 o'clock Monday morning he vent to the court house at Jackson and the papers were filed. He walked from the clerk's office to the tront door or the court house facing the street and engaged in conversation with Benjamin Ewing, a friend. The corridor stretching out to his back was full of men. Ewing was half leaning on Marcum's shoulder. The men had been talking about three minutes, and it was S: 30 o'clock when the shot rang out in the rear of the corridor. Marcum staggered and as he sank to the floor another shot was fired. The first bullet entered the back to the right of the spinal column and passing through the breast and body struck the door facing him. The next shot passed through the top of his hc-ad and was aimed as he reeled. The shots appeared to come from a doorway, or possibly from behind a door in the corridor. MRS. POST SEEKS LIBERTY.

Major James W. Warren, secretary of the executive department of the state of Georgia, was run over and instantly killed by Georgia railroad train No. 1 from Augusta at 1 o'clock Mon day afternoon directly in front of his home in Kirkwood, a suburb of Atlanta. His body was horribly mangled by the train, it being necessary to pick up pieces of flesh for nearly a quarter o: a mile from where the train first struck his body. The accident was witnessed by Mis.? Hattie Warren, daughter of the major, j who was standing on the front veranda of her home watching her father cross I the tracks. She fainted at the sight, and it was necessary to summon a physician to look after her. Shortly after the noon hour Major Warren left his desk in the executive office of the capitol to go to his home in Kirkwood for dinner. He boarded a Decatur car and left it shortly before 1 o'clock directly opposite his home. Two years ago the major suffered a stroke of paralysis that affected his leg, and it was with great difficulty that he walked. After leaving the trolley car he began to walk slowly across the Georgia railroad tracks to his home, and had just entered upon the Georgia railroad main line when the fast train from Augusta dashed around the cu?ve. Major Warren, so bystanders say, saw the train coming and made every effort to get out of the way, but stumbled just before he got clear of the track. In another second the train was upon him, dragging his feeble body under it and carrying it for nearly a quarter of a mile along the track before the train could be stopped. Both arms were severad from the body, as was one leg, and the head was terribly mashed in. His brains were scattered along the track together with pieces of flesh. The sight that met the gaze of the trainmen and passengers-who left the train?which was stopped as quickly as possible?was a horrible one. Many people in the neighborhood witnessed the accident and rushed at once to the scene. Miss Hattie Warren, his daughter. ' r? v:? wno always watcnuu iui mm lv icarc the car and walk the short distance home at dinner and at night, saw the fast moving train strike her father and fainted. The remains were picked up and sent into the city on the train. People of Atlanta and of the surrounding country were shn eked when they heard of the horrible death of Major Warren. Monday mcrning he was at the capitol, performing his regular duties. He was in an exceedingly cheerful mood and laughed and joked with his associates. Several attaches of the executive department remarked on the major's jovial humor. Only three weeks ago he returned from Florida, where he spent the winter with his two sons who reside in Tampa. He was very much improved in health and spirits and walked better than since his stroke of paralysis. Since January 12, 1S72, Major Warren has been a familiar figure at the state capitol and was known and lovaed by every public man in Georgia. No man in the s ate had more friends or fewer enemies than Major Warren. Everybody knew him and everybody loved him. The news of his death will be read with regret by every Georgian. There is hardly a public man perhaps but that has been done favors by the major. Every governor since the time of Governor Smith -regarded Major Warren as the most competent secretary ever in the department, as he has teen repeatedly reappointed by the different governors. There have been changes in ,the executive department, but through every administration Major Warren has been renamed, not because of political affiliation. but because of nis great ability as secretary of the department. Tears were shed by many of' the capitol officials when they heard the Express Agent Forced to Open Safe and Give Up Valuables. Agent John Peterson, of the United States Express Company,- at Britt, Iowa, was compelled by two masked and armed men to open tne safe in his office Thursday morning and permil the robbers to take a package contain ing $10,000. They also secured othei packages of money, and after binding and gagging Peterson, they esoaped. LACK OF UNIFORMITY DEPLORED Confederation of State Medical and Licensing Eoards in Session. The thirteenth annual meeting ol J the National Confederation of State J Medical and Licensing Boards was | held in New Orleans Monday. Mayor Capdeville nnri Drs.

NEARLY HUNDRED KILLED Great Mass cf Boulders Dislodged from Top of Turtle Mountain Hurled, Withcut Warning, Upon Sleeping Villagers. Overwhelmed before daylight Wednesday by countless tons of rock hurled from the top of Turtle mountain by some unknown force, which killed near a hundred persons, Frank, a mining town in southwestern Alberta. British Columbia, was threatened with destruction by a flood. Old Man's river, which flows through the middle of the town, was choked with the fallen rocks to the height of nearly 100 feet. The waters of the river tacked up for miles and the entire valley above Frank was flooded. A dispatch from Frank says: "A tremendously Joud reverberation shook the whole valley of the Old Man's river this morning at 4:10 o'clock, and before the inhabitants had awakened to a realization of the impending danger from the top of Turtle mountain there were hurled millions of tons of rock. "The Frank mines, operated by the French Canadian Coal Company, across the river from the town, were seen to be buried under hundreds of feet of rock just as *~e morning light was breaking. Inside of five minutes from the first thunderous shock, and before half of the town realized what had happened, a small force of men had started to the relief of the miners,' despite the great risk they ran of being buried under the rocks, which were still being precipitated from the lofty mountain tdp. The volunteer relief force was unable to get into the mine. "The disaster was not confined to the vicinity of the mine alone', for many of the dwelling houses in the town of Frank were demolished by the falling rock. Some of the occupants I +v,/ia.a lirmcoc P?;ranp4 death. but ?J1 av/uwvw vwW^r many others were instantly killed." At 4 o'clock in the afternoon the following conservative estimate of the loss of life was made: Men, women and children killed in their beds, 82; miners working outside the mines and instantly killed, 12; imprisoned in the mine, 18. Later News More Cheering. Information from Frank later Wednesday evening was somewhat more reassuring than earlier news, in that there now seems to be less danger than was at first anticipated of an extensive disaster through the threatened flood. A large force of men went to work to create a new channel, that the dammed up water of the Old Man river may run off. Most of tho men imprisoned in the mine, whose death at first seemed certain, got out alive later in the day. There were seventeen men in the mine. Two died from suffocation, but the other fifteen worked their way out uninjured after cutting their way through thirty feet of debris. One of * 1 Vir\ma afipr saa news, several 01 ine uiu negrues who had worked for the major during his long period of service broke down and wept like children when they learned that he was no more.

The sight of the marching thousands from the point occupied by President l Roosevelt's reviewing stand was in- J spiring. For a half mile to the left ] and for an equal distance to the right i the winding column was in complete ( view. The president watched them . march past with eager attention. From ' end to end of the line of march the , cheers of the immense crowd were as j cordial as President Roosevelt's approval. The parade in all features was a most beautiful and imposing inaugurai of the ceremonies. \ Sixty thousand people were crowded Into, the big auditorium, where, in the , presence of official representatives of , all the c. tlized nations of the world, , the words of dedication were spoken , by the president of the United States.

J President Roosevelt arrived in St. Louis Wednesday afternoon to participate in the dedication ceremonies of the Louisiana Purchase exposition. To avoid the great crowd, arrangements were made to have him leave the train at Forsyth Junction, three miles from the center of the city. Members of the national commission of the world's fair, a reception committee, headed by President Francis and a' crowd of spectators were present at the junction to welcome the president. After an informal welcome to St. Louis, the president was at once driv-. en off to the Good Roads convention at Odeon hall. The hall was packed with a crowd which had been waiting patiently for hours. The president spoke of, good roads in tones which showed, as well as his words, that ho was thoroughly in sympathy with the abject of me associations. "Roads," he declared, "tell the greatness of a nation. The influence of the natinna whirh have not been road builders has been evanescent. Rome, the most powerful of the older civilizations, left her impress on literature md speech; she changed the bounda*ies of nations, but plainer than anything else left to remind us of the Rotnan civilization, are the Roman oads." * i At this point in the president's speech the crowd rose and cheered, waving handkerchiefs and hats. The president declared that good oads probably were the greatest igency for regulating the flow from :he country to the city of young men md young women. From Odeon hall the president was iriven at a sharp trot to St. Louis university. A few minutes were spent here, after which the president and )ther guests repaired to thb home of President Francis for dinner. President Cleveland arrived over the Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern at >:50 o'cloek p. m., twenty-five minutes ate, and a large reception committee was waiting for him. The members )f the diplomatic corps arrived shortly Defore.
