Klein's Confession Terrifies the Guilty
Conneilmen.
Pittsburg. Pa., March 20.?Former
Councilman John F. Klein, by his
j confession of the alleged councilmanic
bribery which has been simmering
since June. 1908. has caused
many uneasy moments to present and
former office holders.
Klein in his confession is said to
have implicated 60 or more former
and present councilmen and for 24
hours, detectives have been serving
notices on the men so named. In the
meantime Klein's friends and family
have not heard from him and anxious
ones said to be desirous of reaching
him before to-morrow are pointed out
about the corridors of the hotel. It is
not denied that Klein is held incommunicado
in a suite of rooms guarded
by two detectives. District . torney
Blakely will not deny that Klein is
at the hotel and asserts "the commonwealth
will show its hand to-morrow.
You may look for sensational developments
then."
In the meantime councilmen have
been seen entering the rooms where
the assistant district attorney and a
staff of stenographers are said to be.
It is planned, according to reports,
to have those named by Klein appear
before the grand jury to-morrow.
The foreman of the jury is Harrison
Nesbit. a former national bank ex
aminer and now president of the
Bank of Pittsburg, National association.
Klein's assertions in his confession
as they hare come to light are said to
be most startling. He "kept books"
on all money paid out by him to other
conncilmen on the bank depository
ordinances. To some councilmen,
Klein, sent the money in registered
letters. The receipts for these letters
were preserved.
During his trial and previously,
Klein had persisted in the statement
ander examination that he knew
nothing of the bribery. It was then
believed that he was protecting some
one, and he stock to this position
until almost at the threshold of the
State prison, which he was to enter
to-morrow.
Ic Memory of My Husband, These
Lines are Lovingly Dedicated.
Dear object of my love, my care.
My never ceasing tendfer thought.
And art thou gone? no more to share
With me a world with sorrow
fraught
Tis like a dream, that I no more ,
Bium new tne race i viewed so
Ion*,
Bat 0 shall I thy loos deplore?
May heaven forbid a wish that's
wrong.
Dear sufferer, in the lowly tomb.
Thy manly form repoaoe now,
Beneath the sol! where flowrets
bloom
Where the soft gales of evening
blow.
Thy ransomed soul, I trust, has found
A home of rest where sorrows
cease.
Pardoned in mercy by that wound.
Whence flows that heavenly balm
of peace.
In this redeeming love I trust,
To Him I can thy soul resign,
I yield thy body to the dust,
' Dear husband! now no longer mine
I dare not grieve, but O my heart,
it feels what I can ne'er express,
Do thou, 0 Lord, thy grace impart,
To cheer my days of loneliness.
Father of love, to thee I come.
And ask for wings of faith to rise
Beyond this sad and lonely home.
To seek a fairer in the skies.

Negroes to be Tried.
Quitman Johnson and Ferdinand
Grubbs, the negro assassins hired by
Chester Kennedy, white, to put his
enemy Holland out of the way, but
who killed W. Perry Usaery by mistake,
and who were siren a new trial
when the evidence revealed Kennedy's
part in the assassination, were
to-day taken back to Barnwell from
the State penitentiary, where they
have been for safekeeping, to stand
their new trial, which is expected to
begin this week.
Johnson, who fired the fatal shot,
got a death sentence and he has confessed,
while Orubbs was given a life
sentence. It is not expected that
either will get off lighter than at the
first trial, but the taking of testimony
is expected to develop more closely
some sensational situations and may
help to clear up the mystery of the
assassination of Mr. Weeks, and the
connection "the woman in Augusta"
had with that assassination. The
trial of the negroes and Kennedy
showed that the killing of Usaery was
for the purpose of sealing up a mouth
about the Weeks killing.
The official commitment for Kennedy
arrived at the penitentiary a
few davs azo. He hill now heron the
service at the penitentiary for his
part in the assassination of Ussery.

decided his appeal adversely.?Columbia

ALL DEPENDS OX NEW CROP.
Cotton Men Know Not What Will
Come.
New Orleans, March 20.?The result
of the trading in the future department
of the cotton market last
week served to indicate that the new
crop will come into equal prominence
with the old. This is a development
that a few bulls have predicted for
some time but which the trade in
general has refused to accept.
The contention of these few bulls
is that never before in what is called
"modern" cotton trading did the entire
world so hang on what the new
crop would bring forth. Even the
bears admit that this coming season
the world will probably require the
largest amount of raw cotton in its
entire history, ancient or modern.
Naturally the bears believe the
world is going to get such a supply,
else they would not be bears. The
bulls claim the world needs such an
enormous supply of cotton because
stocks of cotton and cotton goods
have sunk to a low level everywhere
for one reason or another. In such
a situation, anything that promises to
reduce the yield of the new crop becomes
a market factor of the utmost
importance. The bulls claim that the
bumper crop needed can not be raised
if the drought continues in Texaa
They succeeded in impressing many
speculators with this belief last week
with the result that the new crop
options advanced % cent a pound
while the old crops remained at practically
the same level as at the
close of the week before. This week
the balls will increase their efforts
and if the weather continues dry in
the West their operations in the distant
months will assume greater importance
than is usual before the
seed for the new crop is planted.
8hould plentiful rains fall in Texas
?soaking downpours that will put
much needed moisture into the very
subsoil?it is but fair to assume that
the bulls will lose their grip, that
fair-minded traders will admit that
the prospects are again for a large
crop and that the bears will hare the
advantage in the trading.
If interest in the new crop increases.
interest in the old is bound to
suffer. At the same time the leading
bulls still maintain their position on
the near months and sooner or later
developments that will attract the attention
of the entire world are bound
to come to light.
Patten arrived in this country at
the week-end, and bears charged him
with selling some of his holdings the
minute he set foot on land. His
friends denied this and insisted that
he was still buying.
The Manchester market will be
closely watched by those interested in
the old crops, and if news of such a
bullish nature as came across the water
this last week continues to be sent
over the trading public may get back
into July again to some extent
Exports of cotton goods from this
country last week showed an enormous
increase over the preceding
weeks of the calendar year and the
bulls will play up any further Increase
this week with the view of influencing
old cron months. The new week
-opens with the final report of the
season on cotton sinning from the
census bureau. This will probably
not amount to much as a market
factor. The trade pretty well convinced
the figures including linters
will be between 10,250,000 and 10,500,000
bales. Bulls are inclined to
the former figures and bears to the
latter. It will be a short week on all
the cotton exchanges of the world
because of the Easter holidays. The
New Orleans exchange will close
Thursday until the following Monday
morning. Much evening up of accounts
over the triple holidays will
naturally be seen Wednesday and
Thursday.
Emily Taylor Case Ends.
I
Walterboro, March 19.?The Emily
Taylor case came to a close yesterday
morning when the jury returned a
verdict in favor of the plaintiff in the
sum of $500.
This action was begun in July,
1904, and at the first trial in 1900 a
jury, in a few minutes, returned a
verdict for the plaintiff in the sum of
$10,000. The railroad company carried
the case to the supreme court
and this verdict was set aside, the
court holding that the facts in the
case did not warrant the verdict.
Counsel for the plaintiff then amended
their complaint. The case was
tried again in January last and resulted
in a mistrial.
This case started its third trial
Tuesday morning. The case was
fought hard. It is thought that the
railroad company will not appeal
from the verdict of $500, as it is
considered a victory for the railroad.
?Mrs. R. B. Still.of Blackville, is
in the city to-day (Wednesday.)
?Mr. A. B. Jordan, editor of the
Dillon Herald, spent Sunday in the
city with relatives. Mr. Jordan says
he is preparing to install a bran new
outfit for his paper* to replace the
one recently destroyed by fire.
