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.

STORE BURGLARIZED.
Yeggs Breaks Into Woodruff Store
and Blow a Safe.
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. The flames were '
extinguished before any serious dam- '
age was done.
This morning at 5 o'clock Dr. S.
A. Wideman, who had received an 1
early call to visit a sick patient, in {
passing Mr. Beason's store saw a ;
bright light inside Upon looking
through the front window he saw that
the fire was burning inside the safe. J
He hurried to Mr. Beason's residence, ]
a few feet from the store, and gave ]
the alarm. An investigation was *
made and it was discovered that the 1

rear uoor 01 siuip waa uaivw.cu
The news soon spread over the J
town of Woodruff of the robbery and
within less than an hour's time 200 '
people were gathered about the store. '
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. The indictment followed
efforts of Brayfield and Mrs. Parrish <
to collect life insurance from frater- <
nal orders, of which the deceased
persons were members. 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.

Historic House Destroyed.
Richmond, Va., December 4.?Mai- 3
vern Hill, the historic colonial residence
in Charles City county, Virginia,
17 miles below Richmond on
the James river, belonging to Wil- ]
liam P. Hall of New York, was com- 1
pletely destroyed by fire this morning.
Mr. Hall was entertaining a
party of friends from New York who j
were out shooting at the time, leaving
Mr. Hall alone when the fi#e was dis
covered.
Malvern Hill house was built by .
Gov. Randolph 270 years ago. It was
occupied at one time during the Rev
olutionary war by Gen LaFayette and i

of Malvern Hill, the last of the Seven
Days' fight during the Civil war. Mr. j
Hall had owned the place about 20
years.
55 of Ohio's Counties "Dry."
Cleveland, December 6.?Fifty- !
five of Ohio's 88 counties are "dry."
This is the result of six months' work '
on the part of the Ohio Anti-Saloon
league since the Rose county option
* ' - r r
law went into eneci. cu iuc uu tuuuties,
five went dry under an old law.
As little progress was made?under
that law, it was displaced by the new
law, which has been successful. Voting
will be held in most of the re- ;
maining 26 counties within the nejt
few months. !
In point of population the State is i
nearly half dry now., and in point of
area, two thirds. .taos- of the dry j
counties do not contair. "arge cities. <
So far about 1,730 salooLd have been
voted out, about one-third of the ?
number in the State before the coun

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.

Washington, December 7.?South
Carolina's delegation was rather slim
at the opening of congress to-day.
Neither senator was present, although
Senator Gary came in tonight.

and Patterson were in their seats and '
answered to the roll call. With Senator
Gary is his secretary, Mr. C. C.
Wyche, Jr., of Newberry, Mrs. Gary
will not be present during the December

Pell into a well.
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

Mail Carrier Badly Hurt.
Spartanburg, December 7.?Jesse
L. Wood, a well known letter carrier,
was thrown from his buggy early
Sunday morning and seriously injured.
The horse Mr. Wood was driving
took fright on east Main street, just
in front of the First Presbyterian
church. He was thrown violently to
the ^sidewalk and knocked unconscious.
When taken to his home it
was- discovered that three of his ribs
had been broken and one of his
shoulders terribly injured. He is
threatened with pneumonia, which
makes his condition trebly worse.

A STEADY DRAIN.
Sick Kidneys Weaken the Whole
Body?Make Yon Dl, Languid
and Depressed.
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.
The pain has disappeared from my
back, my kidneys are performing
ther function properly and I feel better
in every way."
