' k MURDERER ARRESTED QUITMAN JOHNSON CAPTURED TUESDAY NIGHT. He Assassinated Perry Us*erj\ a White Man, in Barnwell?Taken to Columbia. Columbia, December 2.?Quitman j Johnson, the negro who was arrested at Aiken for assassinating W. Perry Urserry at Barnwell on last Saturday night, was brought to Columbia yesterday morning and placed in the penitentiary for safe keeping. Governor Ansel was notified of the capture of the negro at Aiken Tuesday night and his excellency at once Communicated with the authorities there, instructing them to lose no time in bringing the prisoner to Columbia. There was considerable feeling in Barnwell over the homicide and ? ^ 2 J J Willie no direct eviueuue iitiu uccu secured against Johnson it is said that the circumstances surrounding the case show that he at least knows something about it. A dispatch from Aiken says the suspicion toward Johnson for the killing is very strong, and the parties interested believe that they have the right man without a doubt. Cerv tain statements made by Johnson before the tragedy are very incriminating. > He went to Barnwell last week, but before going he is said to have told a gentleman of Aiken that what he would do in Barnwell would be heard about and also that he supposed he would get into trouble ^ret about the white people. It is said that he was seen a few minutes before the shooting with a gun and that he was seen a few minutes after with a gun. The parties ..interested are confident of having the right man. The case has excited a great deal of interest in Aiken and is the topic of conversation among many groups on the streets and any developments will be watched closely. Johnson is an Aiken negro, having been a resident there for several years._ He is said to have been rais ed in Barnweii county. A dispatch from Barnwell says the local autho;rites are sure that they have the man who assassinated Mr. Ussery last Saturday night. The officers and citizens have been unrelenting in their efforts to get the guilty man, and all are confident that sufficient evidence has been secured to lay the guilt on Quitman Johnson. - It seems that Johnson left Aiken i the latter part of last week to go to Barnwell and before leaving stated to some of his pals he had a special mission to' perform and that they would hear from him in a short time. % He stated that he would carry out his plans, but might have to hang for it. His ^ movements after leaving Aiken have been traced directly to Barn- j ? well and from there back to Aiken, j where he was arrested. There is a! great deal of evidence going to show' his guilt that it would not be wise to; give to the public at this time, sufficeth it to say that Johnson is the j man wanted, beyond a shadow of a} doubt. There is a strong desire on the part of many of the citizens to have Johnson tried at this term of criminal court, which is now in progress. As to whether this will be done can not now be stated. Solicitor Davis is of the opinion that a trial at this time will injure the case as it is likely to develop in such a way as to implicate outside parties. He wired i fimrArrmr Arisel to this effect late this afternoon. It is not known now whether Johnson will be allowed to remain in Columbia or whether he 1 will be brought back to the county jail. Johnson is a Barnwell county negro and has a very unsavory reputation wherever he is known. FOR SELLING PARTRIDGE. Three Parties Arrested and Fined in Charleston. On Friday W. J. Hanlon, manager of the Charleston Hotel, Melchoir Stelling, manager of the Palace Cafe, and. J. E. Baker, steward of the Argyle Hotel, were arrested on warrants sworn out in Charleston by James Henry Rice, Jr., of the Audubon Society of South Carolina, before Magistrate O'Shaughnessy, charging the defendants with violating the State game statute which prohibits the selling of quail or partridge. Before Judicial Magistrate Baker the defendants pleaded guilty and were fined $5 each or five days in jail. They promptly paid their fines. State Secretary Rice, who has won attention by arresting several milliners in South Carolina for selling non-game bird feathers in hat trimmings, stated that he had been unable to find any egret feather or other unlawful plumes in the windows of the rhariftston milliners, and had only seen one egret feather in a hat on the street. This was worn by a lady whom he presumed was a stranger there. Magistrate Baker imposed a light sentence upon the defendants, as these were the first cases against them.. The maximum fine is $30 or thirty days in jail. Mr. Rice wears an official badge which proclaims him a representative of the Auaubon Society of South Carolina. This badge is over the left lapel of his coat. He does not work secretly but enters a restaurant or millinery store openly and makes his investigations. The three convictions I there Friday make the total number | secured by the society 107 for the year. Mr Rice will devote considerable: attention to enforcing the law which j requires visiting sportsmen to get a shooting license from the clerk of court that can be procured for $10. J There is a fine of $100 to which visiting sportsmen are liable for not holding a hunting license and it is accumulative, according to Mr. Rice, who contends that it is possible to impose the fine for every day that | follows the offence.

Spartanburg, December 1.?The store of D. Batson at Woodruff, twelve miles from here, was broken j , into last night by burglars and the safe opened. Fortunately there was no money in the safe, Mr. Bates hav- < ing made a deposit the night before. ( The robber failing to find any cash set fire to the books and papers on the ( inside of the safe.

' Blood hounds were secured, but they 1 failed to strike a trail. Under Mr. . Beason's residence an empty gasoline 1 can was found and it is believed that the burglar poured gasoline on the 1 soles of his shoes to prevent dogs from trailing him. j Murder and Forgery Charged. \ Benton, 111., December 2.?Dr. B.* < F. Brayfield of Mulkeytown, 111., was ' indicted here to-day on charges of ] murder and forgery growing out of 1 the deaths of his wife and Reuben 1 F. Parrish. The case has caused a ] sensation.

Dr. Brayfield has long been one of the most 1 prominent practitioners of southern { Illinois. ] Dr. Brayfield is charged with pois- 1 oning Parrish, who was the agent of ' the Illinois Central railway at Mulkeytown. On the day that Parrish 1 died Mrs. Brayfield became ill. She was attended by her husband until March 15, when she died. Judge Creighton issued a bench j warrant for Brayfield's arrest. i Historic House Destroyed.

Tramp Cured. 1 Johnstown, Pa., December t4.? ; With one hand and both feet frozen : off as the result of a ride of S3 miles on the roof of a postal car on the fast "Manhattan limited," which leaves j Pittsburg for Philadelphia and New ; York, at 12:55 a. m., a young man \ who gave the name of Daniels { Sweeney, 4925 German town avenue, { Philadelphia, was discovered by the train crew at Mineral Point, near Johnstown, shortly after 3 o'clock , ths morning and rescued him from his perilous position. After he was put off in the yards at Pittsburg, the young man, without knowledge of the train crew, boarded the train again and rode between the tank of the engine and the postal car. When the train passed the "track troughs" he was saturated with water and almost drowned. Then he crawled to the roof of the postal car, remaining there until the train reached Mineral Point. He was discovered by the engineer as he peered over the top of the car. The man was on his hands and knees, stiff with cold. As the train was being brought to a stop, Sweeney slipped from his perilous position on the roof of the car and fell on top of the coal tank of the engine and from there he was taken V\xf oranr UJ VI v ?? . A company doctor was called to attend the young man, who besides , being frozen had received a bad cut on his head from falling on the coal tank. Later he was sent to the Me- , morial hospital, where he lies in a , precarious condition. Slim Delegation at Opening Session.

Vonng Lady in Pickens County Had Miraculous Escape. Miss Mar.ie Chapman, daughter of a well-known citizen of Pickens county, fell into a well forty-five feet deep wth five feet of water in it last Sun-! day. By a miracle the young lady escaped serious injury. The following from the Pickens Sentinel-Journal tells of the narrow escape of Miss Chapman: "Mr. Chapman tells that the day before his daughter, Miss Mattie, aged about 19, went to the well to draw a bucket of water. There was a sliding door to the top, and the box was badly rotted. As Miss Mattie was reaching to seize the bucket the entire top of the well gave away and fell in, carrying the young lady with it. The well was forty-five feet in depth with five feet of water. At the Lime of the accident Mr. Chapman was sitting out on his piazza reading. He 3aw his daughter start to the well with a bucket, and when he heard the noise caused by the giving away :>f the well-house knew that something had happened. 'One can imagine the father's feelings when he reached the scene of the accident and glancing down into the depths saw his daughter's perilous position. At first he did not know whether she was killed or not by the fall. He asked her if she was much hurt. The answer came back that she did not think she was harmed much. The rope windlass and bucket were left intact, and Mr. Chapman next inquired if she felt able to be drawn up or must some one go down for her. The brave young lady told tier father to hurry and carefully lower the rope and bucket and she sould ascend unaided. This was done, and planting her feet in the bucket and holding on to the rope Miss Mattie was safely landed on terra flrma. She was shivering with sold, having been completely immersed in the icy water, but with this exception not the slightest harmed?the water having broken the force of the box on which she was carried down. "Had the well been dry, she would have been seriously, injured if not killed. After changing her clothes and lying down a short time Miss Mattie resumed her domestic duties, as if she had not so recenty taken that frightful parachute leap into the well and an immersion in that chilling water." Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafuess is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, O.

Sick kidneys weaken the body through the continual drainage of life-giving albumen from the blood into the urine, and the substitution of poisonous acid that goes broadcast through the system, sowing the seeds of disease. Loss of albumen causes weakness, languor, depression. Uric poisoning causes rheumatic pain, nervousness, nausea, cricks in the back, gravel and kidney stones. Tne proper treatment is & kidney treatment, and the best remedy is Doan's Kidney Pills. Great Bamberg cures prove it. R.'M. Zeigler, living in the northern part of Bamberg, S. C., says: "I am recommending Doan's Kidney Pills in the hope that others may use them and be benefited thereby. I was bothered by attacks of backache for more than a year. The kidneys were also badly disordered and at times I had consderable difficulty in passing the kidney secretions. Upon learning of Doan's Kidney Pills, I went to the People's drug store and procured a supply. They have already given me a great deal of relief.
