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

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.

MARCUS SAYS SO
HannaThinks Cleveland Will
be Named by Democrats.
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.

MAJOR WARREN KILLED.
Beloved Veteran Secretary of Georgia
Executive Department Horribly
Mangled by a Train.
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.

DEADLY ROCK-SLIDE
Overwhelms a Small Town
in British Columbia.
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

With Ceremonies Replete in
Pomp and Splendor,
A BRILLIANT AUDIENCE
President Roosevelt and Ex-President
Cleveland Principal Orators
of the Occasion?Imposing
Military Parade. ]
, i
A St. Louis special says: a be rites 1
which presented the Louisiana Pur- .
:'nase exposition to the world were performed
in the liberal arts building
Thursday with all the dignity and J
splendor befitting such an occasion, a
parade of 11,000 soldiers down Lindeli '
boulevard of the world's fair grounds (
forming a brilliant prelude to the cere- ]
mony of dedication.
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.
As the last syllable fell from the speak- (
er's lips and dedication of one of-the ,
i world's greatest fairs was completed, (
sixty thousand voices rose In a prodigous
note of applause. ^
President Roosevelt, ex-President j
Cleveland and an imposing company of j
diplomatists, governors, senators, con- t
gressional representatives of the expo- j
sition came to the liberal arts building 1
from functions which were served in
tents on the grounds. j
At the president's right sat tue visit- j

Across the aisle vas a brilliantly

ing wives of guests of the men connected
with the cermonies and the
board of lady managrs. m
Back of these rose tier on tier the
thousands, commonly spoken of as the L.
>"general public."
In every way the ?crclses were a
success. But the wather was bad.
The wind blew fierceljfrom the west .

BOTH TEDDY AND GROVER
Guests at Dinner Tendered Them by
Ex-Governor Francis at His
Home in St. Louis. 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. As Mr. Cleveland alighted
rrom the train, he was warmly greeted
)y President Francis, who had driven
apidly to the depot after greeting
President Roosevelt at Forsythe Junc:ion.

A New York dispatch says: The
strike of mechanics and laborers which
was looked for Friday did not materialize
to the extent that had been anticipated,
although a great many men, including
30,000 Italian excavaters, went
on strike.
An agreement reached at the last

the marine engineers to submit their
differences to arbitration put a stop to
the general tie-up of all freijht steamers
in the vicinity.
The 30,000 Italian excavaters ana
rock men who are out ask $2.50 a day
*> *
for all men experienced and inexperienced,
while the contractors say they
^n pay this to experienced men only. \
The strikers paraded the streets, each*
waving an American flag. This stril^
practically put a stop to work on the
subway and also on excavations for .
new buildings. ^
At Philadelphia more than 7 000 men ^
in the building trades went on strike.
The action directly affects 1,000 additional
workmen, and should the' strike
continue a week building operation#
will cease and over 40,000 men will be
rendered idle. The carpenters demand
50 cents an hour for an-elght hour day, J
the hoisting engineers ask $18 for^a
week of fifty-four hours. .
At Chicaga 2,500 members of the
Laundry Workers' Union quit work
during the day, precipitating a famine
of clean linen upon Chicago and its suburbs.
Chinese laundries, of which it
is estimated there are many, are to be; ;
involved. The employers have issued
a call for a meeting of every laundry
proprietor in the city and suburbs and
efforts are being made to induce the
Mongolian washermen to stand by the >
landrymen's association in its efforts
to withstand the demands of the work*
ers.
The boiler makers, ornamental and
architectural'housesmiths and station*
ary hoisting engineers in Pittsburg ^
and Allegheny, Pa. quit work, the employers
having refused to concede
their demands. Six hundred boiler- ;
makers and 400 helpers are idle. They
demand $4 per day and eight hours* *
work, an advance of 50 cents a day
and a reduction from nine to eight
bourn a day. In the towns of Fayette

sen and Donora, along the Monongahea
valley, building has been almost en-. - ;
:irely suspended by a strike of carpen;ers,
brick layers, stone masons, piasters
and hod carriers.
At Omaha Neb., eighteen hundred
nen, including teamsters, hotel and
estaurant employees and members of
he building trades went on strike,
md a number of sympathetic strikes
ire anticipated, which will bring the
lumber out to 3,000. Hardly a wagon
pas to be seen on the streets and all
he large restaurants were closed.
Not in many years has the labor sitation
in Boston, Mass., presented a
aore complicated aspect than it did
n May Day. The employees in nine
rades at least had made demands,
nd 10,000 men were interested. In
lany cases, however partial settlelent
had been reached.
A general strike of union workmen
l the building trades at Baltimore
Iso went into effect Friday morning.
is estimated that 4,000 men have
nit work, including carpenters and
Bliated workmen. Several of the un?ns
demand a readjustment of the
age scale and an eight-hour day, but
ie main issue is the union card sysm,
which will not admit of nonlionists
working on -he same buildg
with union men. About $8,000,0
of work now in progress will be
fected by the strike.
