UK FIRE IN SPARTANBURG
HALF THE CLEVELAND BUILDING
COMPLETELY GUTTED.
Five Firemen and One Wofford Student
Injured?Insurance About
$15,000?Origin Unknown.
Spartanburg, March r!2.?Property
valued at $65,000 was destroyed
raj? here to-night by a fire in the very
gjP; center of the business section of thei
pg.;:'city, when half of the Cleveland
building, at east Main and south
^ v Church streets was completely gutted
and other portions of it considerably
8?& damaged.
The Harry Price clothing firm lost
' a stock of goods valued at $25,000,
and R. L. Bowden, the oldest dry
goods merchant in the city, sustained
a loss estimated at $20,000, while:
IP*' the loss on the building will probably'
^/. . exceed $20,000. The building is
y' ; J owned by J. B. and J. F. Cleveland j
; and is fully insured. Insurance so.:
jfe fan reported covers only about half j
4 the value of the stocks burned.
In the course of the fire five fire,v
' men and one Wofford College student
r> - were injured by falling walls.
The injured: W. D. Mitchell, as5
sistant chief, arm and hand mashed;
C. L. Stevens, scalp wound; Sam
PS Wyatt, left arm crushed; James Elgfk'
der, head cut; D. L. Varner, left
? - hand burned; Carolus Mosely, student
from Laurens, rendered uncon
scious. Aioseiy is at tne city nus|
r pital, where he is said to he regain.
Ung consciousness.
Besides the damage to firms burn.
v ed out there will evidently be considerable
loss to the office holders in
the building, whose property was de?&?*'
stroyed.
The threatening character of the
V.. -flames caused many firms to move
their stocks from buildings in the
block.
j; The flames were checked by a
double fire wall between the Cleveland
building and the Bank of Spartanburg
and the bank thus escaped
I destruction. A drizzling rain, which
fell during the evening, doubtless
f had much to do with the failure of
the flames to spread to other portions
of the city.
The origin of the fire is unknown,
but the theory is advanced that it
was caused by an explosion of gasoline
in the rooms of a pressing club
in the rear of Price's store.
This is the greatest fire loss Spartanburg
has sustained in many years. |
Future of Negro.
Washington, March 13.?Bishop
Gaines, of the A. M. E. church, had a
conference to-day with the president
about "The future of the race," as
he expressed it.
"I am convinced," said Bishop
Gaines, after the conference, "that
the president will treat the negro
race fairly. I mean that he will do
as well by us as his predecessor. We
have a good many offices in the
South, and hope to keep them."

"Had Family Quarrel Over Punishment
of a Child.
Elloree, March 12;?Frank A.
Shuler was shot and fatally wounded
at his home, about seven miles
from this place, last evening between
sundown and dark hy his wife, Fannie
C. Shuler. Reports received this
mrkrnin ?? u-(>rp that the WOUnded
man was not yet dead, but that there
was no hope for his recovery whatever.
The shooting was a result of a
family quarrel.
Shuler, who owns a very nice
farm about seven miles from here,
had been in Elloree yesterday afternoon
and returned to his home late
in the evening. When he arrived
home, it is stated that his wife was
whipping one of the children. The
husband interfered, and the wife
said that she would whip him. This
he said she would not attempt, and it
is stated that he picked up a piece of
j iron. Then it was that Mrs. Shuler
ran into the house, supposedly to get
a pistol, which it is alleged hed been
done before, and as Shuler entered
his wife opened fire on him, the ball
taking effect just below the heart.
The ball passed entirely through the
man's body and came out just at the
left of his spine. Dr. A. W. Browning
was summoned, and according to
the report received trom him, it will
be impossible for the wounded man
to recover from the wound.
It is stated that the wife charges
the husband with coming home intoxicated
yesterday afternoon, but it
was also stated that he was seen in
Elloree just before leaving for his
home, and that he did not appear to
V.Q nn/loi- tVio inflnonno nf linnnr at
that time.
Shuler is a man of about 50 years
of age, and was pretty well fixed.
He was a member of the Woodmen
of the World, and it is said that his
policy in this order had been recently
changed from his wife in favor
of his children. He also intimated
that he desired his farm to
go to them also, and therefore, he
has made no provision for his wife,
so it is stated.

Race Conflict Averted.
Arlington, Ga., March 12.?The
prompt action and determined manner
of Chief of Police Ray prevented
a serious clash between whites and
blacks near here late last night,
brought about by an injury inflicted
upon John Price, a well known citizen
of Edison, Ga., who was shot by
Will Wakefield, a negro. The negro
received reinforcements and a band
of 50 negroes were in the act of attacking
citizens who went to Price's
aid, when Officer Ray arrived and
stopped the disorder by the arrest of
Wakefield and the leaders. The white
men and negroes alike were heavily
armed.

NO RACE SUICIDE.
Zioii Hill Negro Was Father of FiftyTwo
Children.
Hampton Ferguson, colored, the
father of more children than perhaps
any man in the State, died at his
home, near Zion Hill,' yesterday at
the age of about 90 years. The deceased
was married four times and
was the father of 52 legitimate children.
A son of the deceased came to
Spartanburg yesterday and purchased
a casket. He spoke with great
pride of the magnitude of his father's
family. He declared that his
father had been married four times
and 52 children had been born to
him and that these were scattered
in all directions of the State. Many
of them, he said, had children and
grandchildren. The negro said he
had never seen many of his brothers
and sisters for they had moved
away before he was born.?Spartanburg
Journal.
Negroes' Trial Delayed.
Greenville, March 13.?John Terrell
and Jim Lewis, the two negroes
who were arrested this week on a
charge of wrecking train No. 35,
near Harbin's several weeks ago,
will not *e tried at the present term
of the court of general sessions at
Walhalla. When the case was called
the attorney for the negroes demurred
on a technicality in the
wording of the indictment.
Both of the defendants have been
released on bail in the sum of $1,000
each, the bail to be furnished
by not less than two or more than
five. The case will come up at the
novt farm nf thp nniirt nf rrpnprali
sessions at Walhalla.
The railroad officials have worked
up a srong case against the negroes,
it is said, and feel confident that
they have the right men. The case
was worked up by Special Agents
James Alton and Inspector H. B.
Earle, and will be handled by them.
John Terrell was arrested on
Wednesday morning by Sheriff Kay
and Special Agent Alton near his
home. Jim Lewis had gone to Georgia
and Sheriff Kay arrested him on
Thursday morning. Both negroes
deny that they had anything to do
with the wrecking of the train.
As is remembered, Engineer
O'Neal lost his life in this wreck
near Harbin's. He was he engineer
on No. 35. The train was wrecked
by a bolt being out and when No.
35 came along it was wrecked.
It is supposed tha* the negroes
will be tried for murder. Arthur Agnew,
the negro who wrecked a passenger
train near Duncan's last fall,
was given a life sentence for his
deed, having been tried for murder,
as Engineer Fonville lost his life in
the wreck. '

MANILA'S WATER WORKS.
City Supplied From Protected Water-shed
140 Miles Square.
The inauguration of Manila's.new
water supply marks the completion
of a project of great importance to
the city. The new water supply is
taken from the Mariquina river, 20
miles northeast of Manila.
The watershed above the point of
diversion covers about 140 square
mjles of mountain and forest and is
withdrawn from settlement. Private
property within this reservation will
be expropriated, and the entire district
will be freed from human contamination
forever.
The reservoir is rectangular in
plan and measures 509 by 764 feet
and is 20 feet deep. Its capacity is
50,000,000 gallons. The water enters
through a concrete-lined conduit
four and one-half miles in
length, of which a small amount
lies near the surface of the ground
I and was constructed in an open
ditch; the balance is in a tunnel,
which at the deepest point is 180
feet below the surface of the ground.
At frequent intervals along the
conduit are inclined shafts with
steps for entering the tunnel to inspect.
clean or repair. At one point
the conduit sinks under the bed of
the Dulutan river, and at another it
is carried across a stream by a sixty-foot
concrete-arch bridge.
The water is carried from the
head-works to the tunnels by means
of a riveted steel pipe line forty-two
inches in diameter and ten and onehalf
miles long. The pipe is carried
under the Mariquina river, but this
section, in place of steel, is of cast
iron. Most of the other streams are
crossed by means of concrete
bridges; but at two points the pipe
is carried, across by steel truss
bridges, where the width of the
stream is too great for concrete.
The dam is 400 feet long on the
crest and about eighty-five feet in
extreme height. It is built of cyclopean
masonry, or concrete in
which large stones are embedded.
Behind the dam will be a storage
basin which will serve the city during
the dry months when the discharge
of the river is less than that
necessary for the supply.
Thp rnst nf thp rnmnlptpd wnrk is
about $1,500,000 as far as the Deposito,
and the distribution system
to be installed throughout the city
will cost $500,000 more.
The new system supplies 22,500,000
gallons of water each twentyfour
hours?enough to give every
man, woman and child in the city
100 gallons a day.

"Straight Tip" From President Taft
to That Effect.
Chicago, March 12.?"The passing
of the professional Southern negro
politician as a federal officeholder by
right of color has been made an essential
feaure in the proposed policies
of President Taft," says the
Tribune to-dav in a news article.
"Hereafter Southern white Republicans
will receive the utmost consideration
in fillihg 'big' places of the
Federal service below the Mason and
Dixon line. The places which have
been allotted to the negro Republican
as a matter of custom will go to
Northern negroes rather than to the
Southern black men.
"News of this complete change in
administration policy has arrived in
Chicago directly from the White
House. The information was disclosed
in connection with the candidacy
of Col. John R. Marshall, commanding
the Eighth infantry, Illinois
National Guards, the negro regiment,
for post of receiver of deeds of
the District of Columbia.
"Col. Marshall's candidacy has the
tentative backing of Senator Cullom,
and he is seeking the support of the
Republican organization in Chicago
as a necessary step in taking up the
matter officially with President Taft.
"The statement is made with authority
that Senator Cullom had discussed
the proposition with President
Taft and that the president disclosed
his views on the negro Republicans
to Senator Cullom as has been indicated."
Fatal Fire in Greensboro.
Charlotte, N. C., March 11.?In a
fire which destroyed Biggs sanitarium
at Greensboro this morning
Frank Greene, of Goldston, Chatham
county, was burned to death
and a number of other inmates more
or less seriously injured. Four women
jumped from second story windows
and escaped alive/one of them
having an arm broken. The most
miraculous escape was that of the
infant of Dr. Biggs, proprietor of the
sanitarium, which, though thrown
from a second story window, escaped
without a scratch. The property loss
will reach $22,000.

long, deep wounds in her scalp, Mrs.
J. T. Donaldson, of Blakely, Ga.,
rushed her husband, seriously injured,
to this city for medical treatment
late this afternoon, after lifting
the car from his unconscious
form and repairing the mechanism
so the machine would make the trip.
In the accident Mr. and Mrs. Donaldson
were hurled beneath the car,
but the woman managed to extricate
herself. She lifted the machine from
her husband by the use of a fence

""""""""" '
Relatives of Mr. Nat Anderson Have ' "
Body Exhumed.
Greenwood, March 12.?The body \<
of Mr. Nat Anderson, who died sev- '*
eral weeks ago, was exhumed yesterday,
the stomach taken out and sent
to a chemist for examination. Cer- /
tain developments made the family
suspect that his death was not due
to natural causes. Mr. Anderson was y
a well-to-do farmer, living about five
miles west of town. He was found
dead the Friday night before the
very cold weather in February. He
had left his house after dinner to 4o
and fix a pasture fence. He did not
return and when searchers found
him he had been dead several hours.
The ground around his body .was
torn up, indicating that he had died
in a great struggle. The night of
his death a cat at the house died ina
peculiar manner and the next day
all the other cats there died very peculiarly.
The chemist selected was
recommended by Solicitor Sease. His
report will be made in a few days.

State Treasurer Short.
Salt Lake, Utah, March '3.?
James H. Christianson, former State
treasurer of Utah, is under arrest, a
self-confessed embezzler of over
$70,000 from the State treasury.
Mr. Christianson spent the night, at
the Hotel Cullen, in the custody of
a deputy sheriff. An attempt is being
made to secure bondsmen for ;
him to-day.
A clumsy attempt to tamper with
the books in the State auditor's office
led to the discovery of the embezzlement.
Christianson was .out
of the State at the time, but upon
the word of a friend he hurried back '
to Salt Lake. He gave himself into
custody shortly after arriving here
and followed that shortly afterwards
with a confession of guilt. Christianson's
bondsmen will make good
the amount of the shortage.
