In the daily newspapers of Sunday
? ' a week ago there was published the
names of the counties in this State
who wanted loans from the sinking
> f' fund commission, and in the list
Bamberg county was put down as
wanting to borrow $5,000 for ordis
nary county expenses and $5,000 for
- a new jail. This was clearly an error,
as Bamberg county is out of debt and
&ry; lhas money to pay all her expenses
without borrowing, and our jail is all
right. This building was built when
the county was created, and was
given to the county by the town of
My. Bamberg. They must have meant I
Barnwell county, for Bamberg does
* .. not need to borrow money for any
purpose.
Moon Defends His Bolt.
Washington, March 29.?A break
* : in the monotony of the tariff debate
occurred in the house to-day when
Mr. Moon (Tenn.), one of the 23
whom the recent Democratic caucus
"disciplined" for having voted with
; the ReDublicans in the adoption of
the Fitzgerald amendment to the
!^?; c rules, defended his action in lan*
guage most vigorous. He scathingbsv
ly denounced the attitude toward
him and his 22 associates by the mit-..'i
* nority leader and the other Democrats
in the house, who, he said,
*p"': had shown an intolerance unspeakable.
Mr. Moon sarcastically said that it
-- imight be well for those Democrats
V who had pressed upon Mr. Clark a
p?;v. losing conflict to give up their rights
into his keeping, and to have turned
over their power, "but why
& * v * should they attempt to turn over the
power of men that have stood by
them? Why should they denounce
??' :' men as % traitors to the party who
have stood for Democracy in its
p"'" purity and the platform of their
party in its integrity?"
He characterized the Democratic
caucus resolution as "humiliating,
dishonorable, contemptible and pusillanimous."
The bolting Democrats and Re;'
' publicans loudly applauded Mr.
Moon as he sat down.
Gov. Patterson (Tenn.) occupied
a seat close to Mr. Moon and followed
the speech with interest. So impressed
was Mr. Harrison (N. Y.),
one of the bolters, that he rushed up
the aisle and warmly congratulated
r~?. the Tennessee member.
?
Big Fire in Habana.
Habana, March 29.?The two piers
of the Habana Central railroad in
the upper part of the harbor were
/ totally destroyed by fire which broke
out at 11 o'clock this morning. It is
reported that the fire was of incendiary
origin. The total damage
done is estimated at $1,000,000,
which is covered by insurance.
A number of lighters loaded with
sugar were lying at the piers when
the fire broke out. They were cut
loose and were blown to sea by the
strong southerly gale, threatening
destruction to steamers and other
craft in the harbor. Some of the vessels
hoisted their anchors and
shifted their position to escape the
peril. Several blazing barges drifted
to the mouth of the harbor, being
stranded off Morro rasfae.
The Hamburg-American line
steamer Altonburg, which was lying
at the second pier discharging her
cargo of rice, was unable to get
away. Tugs could not render her
assistance on account of the dense
smoke and the crew of the steamer
were compelled to abandon her and
take refuge on the adjacent pier. It
was thought at first that the steamer
was totally destroyed, but the fire
was checked after it had damaged
the vessel to the extent of $80,000.
Both piers, which contained a vast
amount of miscellaneous freight,
were consumed, practically nothing
on the piers being saved. The crew
of the German cruiser Hamburg,
which entered the harbor while the
fire was in progress, rendered much
assistance in towing lighters out of
reach of the flames. There was no
loss of life.
K ,
A STRINGS SENTENCE.
Punishment lor Murder That Was
More Cruel Than Death.
in 1801 a man died in the CatdKiiis
who haa been condemned by
one 01 tne strangest sentences on
record. Ralph Sutherland was
corn in 1701, and lived in a stone
i.ouse near Leeus. He was a man 01
violent temper and morose disposition,
shunned by his neignbors and
generally disliked. Not being able
to get an American servant, he imported
a Scotchman, and, according
10 the usage o. the times, virtuan^
uela her in bondage until her passage
money had been reiunded.
Unable to endure any longer the
raging temper of her master, the
girl ran away. Immediately upon
discovering her absence the man set
off in an angry chase upon his horse
and soon overtook her. The poor
woman never reached the house
alive, and Sutherland was indicted
and arrested on the charge of murder.
At the trial he tried to prove that
his horse had taken fright, ran
away, pitched him out of the saddle !
and dashed the girl to death upon
the rocks, but the jury did not accept '
the defense, and Sutherland was '
sentenced to die upon the scaffold. '
Then came the plea of the insuffi- ,
ciency of circumstantial evidence and
the efforts of influential relatives. :
These so worked upon the court that ;
the judge delayed the sentence of ;
death until the prisoner should be
ninety-nine years old.
It was ordered that the culprit ,
should be released on his own recognizance
and that, pending the final !
execution of his sentence, he should ;
keep a hangman's noose about his ,
neck, and show himself before the .
judges of Catskill once a year to
prove that he wore his badge of infamy
and kept his crime in mind. It
was a more cruel decision tnan tne
sentence of immediate death would
have been, but it was no doubt in
harmony with the sprit of the times.
Thus Ralph Sutherland lived. He '
always lived alone. He seldom i
spoke. His rough, imperious man- <
ner had gone. Years followed years.
At each session of the court the i
broken man came before the bar of !
justice and silently showed the noose
that circled his neck. 1
At last his ninety-ninth year came,
the time when the court had ordered <
that the utmost penalty of the law I
should be executed. For the last i
time the man tottered before the 1
judge's bench, but new judges had
arisen in the land, new laws had ;
been made, old crimes had been for- ]
gotten or forgiven, and there was
none who would accuse him or execute
sentence. Indeed, the awful i
restriction that had bound his life <
so intimately to the expiration of his
crime w^as now legally removed.
But the spirit of self-punishment i
continued, and when Sutherland,
after he had passed his hundredth
year, was discovered dead, alone in
his house, his throat was found to be 1
encircled by the rope which had been
placed there nearly three-quarters of
a century before.
What the l>ollies Had.
Little Mary was really very ill.
Mother said she was sure it was an
attack of appendicitis, but grandma
was equally sure the little one was '
threatened with convulsions.
The argument waxed warm in
Mary's presence, and appropriate (
remedies were used, and the next 1
day she was better.
Coming into her mother's room 1
during her play, she said:
"Mamma, two of my dollies are 1
very sick this morning."
"Indeed, dear, I am veTy sorry. '
What is the matter with them?" !
"Well, I don't really know,
mamma, but I think Gwendolyn has 1
'a pint o' spiders' and Marguerite is
going to have 'envulsions.' "?New 1

Attempt to Murder RooseveltLondon,
March 29.?A dispatch to ,
The Standard from Horta says that
when the steamer Hamburg arrived (
it was learned that an attempt had '
been made aboard to assault exPresident
Roosevelt, but that it was ,
frustrated, and his would be assail- .
ant piacea 111 irons. 1
The Daily Mail's Horta corres- ,
pondent says: .
"Reports are current, and I re- ,
peat them with reserve, that an at- ,
tempt has been made on the life of .
ex-President Roosevelt."
The World's Story. :
New York, March 29.?Giuseppi
Tosti, a steerage passenger on the i
Hamburg, is the man who threaten- i
ed ex-President Roosevelt, according {
to a special dispatch from Horta to <
The World. The incident happened
soon after the Hamburg was losing
sight of America.
Tosti broke from companions in <
the steerage and started for the up- '
per deck, where Mr. Roosevelt was '
standing with his son, Kermit. .
"He has let them take away my
child," Tosti is said to have shouted k
in English. "Now he shall pay for s
it." ;
Sailors seized Tosti, quickly mas- j
tered him, carried him below and by
the captain's orders put him in j
irons. The incident, it is said, is
known only to Mr. Roosevelt and a J
few of his fellow passengers.
Tosti, after his imprisonment, re- <
fused for four days to eat, crying '
"Roosevelt is trying to poison me." .
The ship's doctor now must taste t
all food offered to Tosti before he j
will eat it. ,
m (
Would Bar the Judiciary. (
Young ministers some times say
some very irreverent things when
first they get in harness, but seldom
are so broadly condemnatory as the i
young clergyman who was called (
upon to act as chaplain at the open- .
ing of a recent term of court down 1
in Maine.
After covering everything he could 1
think of as appropriate to say from t
religion to law, he closed his prayer (
with the supplication, "and finally, i
may we all be gathered in that happy t
land where there are no courts, no 1
lawyers and no judges." i
Then they changed chaplains.?

TO O BURGLARS CAPTURED.
Attempted to Rob Fowler-BruceBates
Store at Blacksburg.
Blacksburg, March 29.?The large
brick store room on the corner of
Shelby and Cherokee streets, containing
the dry goods department of
the Fowler-Bruce-Bates Company,
was broken into Saturday nigi.t
about 1:30 o'clock by two burglar."
who are now in custody. The value
of the goods stolen was $50. T. c
robbers entered a front window
after breaking one of the larwpanes
of glass and would have mad.a
large haul but for the timely appearance
of Chief of Police J. C. Duncan,
who was returning home from
the Whittaker cotton mill. While
passing the side door of the buildin.'the
chief was attracted by flashes o
light inside, made by matches, and
when he reached the front of the
building he ran upon a man receiving
goods from some one inside. He
immediately arrested the outside
man and handcuffed him and with
the assistance of Messrs. Deck Fulton
and Meek Williams, secured the
one inside, who seemed to be the
leader. They were then safely locked
up in the town prison. Of course
all the goods were secured without
any damage to them.
The burglars gave their names as
Tate. Roland Tate, who is about 23
years old, is a well known crook,
having robbed several stores and the
postoffice at Crowders Mountain, N.
C. The other, Fletcher Tate, is
about 20 years old, being young in
the business and not so well known.
Ihey are originally from North Carolina,
but have no settled home. Roland
has been a frequent visitor at
the store he attempted to rob during
the past week, but purchased nothing.
.
KILLED HIS OWN DAUGHTER.
Dreadful Deed of a Man in New York
With a Foreign Name.
Within sight of several of her fellow
school teachers and pupils on
the way to school through a crowd
ed street on Wednesday Miss Anna
Mangano, a teacher in the public
school on East One Hundred and
Second street, was shot and killed by
her father, Phillip Mangano, an interpreter
in a minor court, who had
been following his daughter and
calling to her to stop. As she kept
hurrying on, he drew his revolver
and fired two shots. He then turned
the revolver on himself, but was prevented
from carrying out his purpose
by Adolph Schwartz, who grappled
with him. Two more shots
were fired while the men struggled,
but both went wild. Mangano broke
away from Schwartz, but was arrested
by two policemen.
Several of the teachers ran to the
place where the girl fell. She was
dead when they found her, with a
wound in the back of her head.
Frank Lacatira told the police that
his sister-in-law was compelled to
leave her father's house last January
because of his cruel and inhuman
treatment of her, and had lived at a
working girl's home since. He said
Mangano probably shot his daughter
because she had left him.
Preliminary Hearing Waived.
Sharon, Pa., March 29.?It required
hut a few minutes this afternoon
for the preliminary hearing of James
H. Boyle, charged with the abduction
Df Willie Whitla. Two questions and
answers made up the proceedings.
"What is your name?" asked Justice
S. S. Gilbert.
"James H. Boyle," was the reply.
"Do you want a hearing on the
charge of abduction now?" he "was
asked.
"Not at this time," he replied, and
the hearing was over.
Bail was fixed at $25,000, which,
it is said, Boyle has no chance of securing,
and the prisoner was returned
to the jail at Mercer on the first
train. About 500 persons, impelled
by curiosity, surrounded the station,
where Boyle was waiting in mortal
L ? ? ? ^ I Vt?? 4- r\ /\+ f Vv/\
terror lor me nam, out ihjl mc
slightest demonstration against him
was made or indicated.
To-night it is stated Mrs. Boyle
svill not be brought here for a hearing
at all. The statement that she
was Helen McDermott is doubted
here from the fact that not one of
the McDermott family has extended
tier any aid so far as the public
Itnows or put in an appearance since
tier arrest. She has been positively
dentified by Sharon people as James
Boyle's wife, but beyond that her
identity is not known here.
The Whitla family will leave tomorrow
for some place which they
-efuse to name, in search of quiet
md rest after their recent harrowing
experiences.
Victory for Saloon Keepers.
New Orleans, March 29.?In the
State supreme court this afternoon
in opinion was handed down that the
Jay-Shattuck liquor law passed at
;he last meeting of the Louisiana assembly
is not retroactive.
This law stipulates that no license
shall be issued to a saloon to operite
within 300 feet of a church or
school. Had it been applied to these
saloons already established it would
lave done away with the bars in the
principal hotels and clubs of New
Orleans and put out of business 1,)00
or more saloons throughout the
State. The liquor men also contended
that if the law were made retroac:ive
the prohibition workers, by
scattering a few small chapels and
Dusiness colleges around New Oreans
and the State at large, could
easily add Louisiana to the column
)f dry States in the South.
Child Born on Train.
New York, March 29.?A stork
visited a northbound Ninth avenue
elevated train, and Mrs. Lena
Josephs is the mother of a fine baby
eoy.
When the news spread through
:he cars that a wee visitor was about
:o arrive an official of the Interbor)ugh
Rapid Transit Company,
vho chanced to be aboard, had the
;rain emptied and shunted to the
niddle track, where it was converted
nto a temporary hospital.
An ambulance was summoned and
nother and child were taken away.
