Anderson, Oct. 10.?At a special < meeting of the directors of the Toxa- ' way and Pendleton mills held here to- \ day, D. P. McBrayer submitted his \ resignation as president of" both In- ] stitutions. Capt. E. A. Smyth was i elected president of Toxaway and J. i E. Mitchell, of Philadelphia, was 1 elected president at the Pendleton 1 mills. : It has been known for some time ] v ; that these mills were in rather bad ! i ' financial circumstances and Mr. Mc- ] Brayer's resignation caused no sur prise here. < It was also stated this afternoon 1 ? that Mr. McBrayer will resign as pres- 1 ident of the Riverside mills of this 1 . - . * city and that a meeting of its direc- .< tors will be held soon. : Mr. McBrayer is also president of ; . the Jackson mills at Iva, but there \ has not been any talk of his giving < up those mills. He is likewise presi- 1 dent of the Citizens' National bank < of this city. \ There is general sympathy for Mr. \ McBrayer in the financial troubles V that have overtaken him. It is said 1 that he suffered heavily because of 1 V. the long depression in the goods mar* kets and simply found it impossible i to finance the mills any further. Prisoner Sawed Way Out of Jail. Beaver, Penn., Oct. 9.?By quietly sawing his way through three steel , doors and scaling a 22-foot wall Chas. Hickman, convicted of wife murder, escaped from the Beaver county jail early to-day and swallowed by a dense 1 v fog, left no trace. The jail breaking J was discovered by a trusty, distributing breakfast, who found that the form curled up in Hickman's cot was a dummy. v Hickman sawed six thick bars of . steel from around the small opening < * in his cell door and crawled through 1 J to the corridor, only to find his way blocked by double steel doors at the 1 rear of the jail. He sawed through ' a heavy steel lock of the inner door, ' and through a big padlock on the outside door. With a stick tied to " the end of a rope made from his celli blanket he caught the top pickets of the big jail yard, and pulled himself ! up, and with as much ease let himself down on the outside. This tackle he left haging to the gate. Sheriff John W. Hartsell and his deputies worked all day on the case but found no clue. One of the 18 * prisoners in the jail admitted that he 1 heard a man in the jail yard whisper'f , ing as though with some confederate f fli A ts. UUtOiU^. Daniel Duncan, the negro convicted * at court in Charleston last week for the killing of Max Lubelsky, a Jewish merchant of that city, has been sen- ; tenced to be hanged on Friday, De- : . cember 2nd. < % CASE OF CHOLERA. . One of Passengers of Moltke Stricken iff/ With Disease. ' New York, Oct. 9.?A case of cholera developed in the steerage of the Hamburg-American liner Moltke, which has been lying at quarantine as a possible cholera carrier since Monday last. Dr. A. H. Doty, health officer of the port, reported the case tonight with additional information and another cholera patient from the Moltke is under treatment at Swin-j burne Island. This makes three cases 3f cholera which have actually reached this port. To-day's victim is Giovanni Falcijlia, aged 36, who came from Naples in the steerage of the Moltke. He is critically il at Swinburne Island, as is the other patient, Rudolph Sellitch. a coal trimmer, who was regarded as a "suspicious case," and was re- I sponsible for the Moltke's detention. Although he has been at Swinburne Island nearly a week, he is fighting the disease and was still alive to- I night. Falciglia was stricken at noon to- I day after a drunken debauch which I kept the 988 steerage passengers held I with him awake until dawn to-day. A.t the close of his celebration he be- I :ame violently ill and an examination I showed his ailment to be an undoubted case of cholera. "This case shows all the features of the Germania case," said Dr. Doty I to-night, "and is undoubtedly of the kind known as cholera carrier. The I Moltke left Naples September 21 and it was about 17 days later that this I man became ill. I shall remove to Hoffman Island all of the steerage I and probably a part of the crew." Negro Hack man Slain by Mob. Montgomery, Ala., Oct. 7.?Sitting I upright in his hack, but dead from a III bullet wound in his heart, John Dell, I a. negro hackman of this city was dis- I covered at 5 o'clock this morning. |||| His death at the hands of the mob I which last night surrounded the |||| county jail and police headquarters III is the only tangible sign of the fury 1 of the white men who last night I paraded the streets in thirst for I blood. Illl , Vengeance on the negro is sup- 1111 posed to have been wreaked early I this morning, when the mob, failing ||l| in an effort to lay hands on the two |||| oegro prisoners who had been spirit- III 3d away from the police headquar- II fers, chanced upon the negro in their I tamblings. He was found in a re- ||| stricted district of the city which has I led some to the theory that the ne- II gro was killed by a fare who objected II to payment. Sheriff Horace Wood, II11 tiowever, entertains the opinion that I the negro was killed by scattering II remnants of thef mob. The negro I had two bullet wounds, one in the |||l stomach and the other through the I heart. Thrilling stories are told by Chief III of Police Taylor and Sheriff Hood of |||l the difficulties encountered by the au-IIIII thorities in dispersing the crowds 11II that had gathered to avenge the mur- |||| der of Policeman T. W. Berry by the ||| negro John Adams, on Wednesday Mil afternoon. While the mob which III gathered on Wednesday night was I out primarily for the blood of Adams, Illl the mob of last night had been work- I 3d up to such great proportions that I rengeance was probable on any ne- III gro that happened in their way. ! John Pyro and John Armstrong, I the negroes who were spirited away |l|| from police headquarters in a patrol I | wagon, were arrested yesterday on I suspicion. The patrol' wagon, in I which they hid, spent most of the II night behind an out-of-the-way I slaughter house in the city. Would Run for President.. Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 10.?"By George, IIU if I thought I could carry a single \Xj\ Southern State, I would willingly run for the presidency." Col.
