I The lawyer of the convicted pickpocket took the fine imposed upon his client very much to heart, says the New York Sun. "Twenty-five dollars," he expostulated. "Your honor, where is this poor unfortunate man to get $25?" His honor did not know, or if he did he refrained from saying so, but the prisoner was less discreet. "Just let me out of here for 10 or 15 minutes," he said, "and I'll show you." NECK BROKEN. Girls is Cured?Walks alter Four- 1 teen Months. Picked up for dead but saved from the dead wagon before it started for * the morgue, when a faint sign of life d was detected, 18-year-old Esther Har- 0 ris, whose escape from the Triangle ^ fire last year was made at the cost b of a broken neck and back has been * cured. r Unable to move even a finger for a eleven months after the tragedy, in e which 147 men and women were a killed, she can now stand and walk ^ unassisted; a feat rare in surgery a whose teachings are that in almost every case of total paralysis result- S ing from a fracture of the neck the v victim never regains command of mo- s tion. For fourteen weeks Esther lay un- ^ conscious. The doctors at St. Vin- t( cent's hospital told her she had only r q four u-oeks tn livp. Finallv shp was Of IV fl ? VV"V vv -- . W. ? W? w ? ?? taken home to die. Then, on the bare p hope it might help, a method old in li lesser cases hut unprecedented in to- b tal disability, was tried by the chief t< surgeon, Dr. Henry W. Prauenthal, at fi the Hospital for Deformities and g Joint Diseases. s< Esther Now Walks Every Day. ? It worked beyond the most san- f: guine expectations, and after being v absolutely unable to move in the bed T. to which she was confined for eleven months, Esther now gets up every ^ day and walks a little further than n the first two steps she took on Wash- a ington's birthday. She wears a stiff r, steel and leather harness to support p her neck, but in a few months it is 0 hoped this will be discarded and her c escape from a death in life will be 0 complete. tl Esther owes her life to the coolness a and nerve that enabled her to save tl herself, when the last opportunity v was presented. While it was her lead- e ership that enabled a score of others r, to escape incineration, it brought about her serious injuries. a She jumped for the elevator cables on the ninth floor of the flaming ? a building and started to slide down. Immediately after her a man jumped. He lost his hold and fell.' His body struck the girl as she had reached the sixth floor. She hurtled through the shaft to the basement, where she fell on top of the cage. ? She landed on her back and neck. On top of her fell twenty other girls and men who had used the only hope of escape from the crematory that the eighth and ninth floors had been transformed into. Lost All Sense of Feeling. ^ The impact had broken her neck, ^ yet she did not lose consciousness for an hour or more after. But her sensibilities had been killed. She felt no ^ pain. Even when a heavy body fell y directly across her legs she would not ^ have knowm it if she had not seen it. Then she swooned. It was while in ^ that condition that she was removed c< from the Washington place elevator shaft, from which forty bodies were ? taken, and she was put in the dead pile for shipment to the morgue. It a was only as she was being loaded into the wagon that life movements were a noticed and she was placed in a St. Vincent's ambulance. Her story came to light through tl the action of Max Steurer, counsel 2 for Harris & Blanck, the firm owning h the Triangle Waist Company, ^nploy- ^ ers of the men and women who were k killed. He made a gift in beiialf of i] his clients to the hospital in. which 0 the girl's cure had been effected and M to other hospitals in which some of a the injured were treated. Esther Harris is the niece of Isaac Harris, ^ who with his partner Blanck was tried on the charge of manslaughter d and acquitted. , c Hope to Have Her Home in a Month. & Esther's family lives at No. 769 i] Howrard avenue, Brooklyn. There her s mother and father expect her to be again to stay within another month. ^ At the hospital Esther shares their belief. ' c In her fall she fractured the fourth j3 and fifth cervical vertebrae. This is " the spine at the base of the nqck, the 8 lower bone being just on a line with p the shoulder blades. Either fracture i3 is set down as fatal, doubled the g chances for recovery were none, it was ^ believed. Her family was told that J death was only a matter of a few e days or weeks. = T After three months in St. Vincent's a Esther seemed to be fulfilling the prediction as to the certainty of her e death. She had wasted from a girl C( of 130 pounds to one weighing less C( than 85. She had upset the calcula- ^ tions as to the length of time she ^ would hold on to life, but even this r tenacity did not alter the belief of the six eminent surgeons who had a conferred on her case. Thereupon e her people concluded that if she was ^ to die she had best die at home, so she was taken there to await the h end. e This was in July. She lay on a e bed at her home free from bandages, able to talk, but quite immobile. Then in December she was taken to v the Deformities and Joint Diseases t Institution at One Hundred and n FIGHT AT BENTOXVELLE. low a Confederate Soldier Buried His Brother. On the 19th day of March, 1865, Kershaw's old brigade, then Kennedy's, had been bringing up the rear ?f Hardee's corps for several days, in act ever since we had left Averysorough, N. C., where we had a batle. On the morning of the 19th we eceived orders to press forward with 11 possible speed. In the morning arly we could hear cannonading way in the direction we were going. Ve were urged forward ever; now nd then the command "Close up;" Keep in your places;" "No Stragling; keep up." About 10 o'clock ?e had got near enough to hear the mall arms. Maybe now we were in our miles of the battle. We would ave to go at double quick some time o keep up with the officers, who were iding in front. A little after noon we reached the lace where the fighting was. Our ines were doing the charging. Of all attles I had ever been in or listened ~ T TTT O C VlAOvioot J, 1 LJUUUg J_lL. LUIS nao ? *v/uv ring I had ever heard. As we were etting near enough to hear the creeching of the shells we met Gen. lardee and staff coming from the ront. Some one asked Gen. Hardee rhich side was doing the pressing, te said the enemy. Just before reaching the battlefield 'e were ordered to the left. We had ot gone very far before ourfront met squad of cavalry trying to gain the ear of our line of battle; but we surrised them and they retreated at nee, but not until they had made one harge and found they had met a line f infantry. We did not get near to hem, but I saw a few prisoners and few riderless horses. We were on he extreme left of Johnstone's line, ye formed a line of battle and waitd snrnp time but the cavalry never sturned. We were then moved to the right nd formed in line in rear of the :oops that were fighting. We were dvanced till we came to a line of rorks that our lines had driven the nemy from. Our lines were still ressing them. We were halted here nd held in reserve till late in the vening,when we were ordered to adance over the works. We went on hrough the pines into the heaviest ring I ever heard. We did not see lany killed or wounded; neither did fe hear many bullets. We kept adancing. After a while we came up rith two lines of battle lying on the round, loading and firing with all heir mi^jht. We asked what they rere firing at. They said the enemy rere right in their front. We were rdered to halt and commence firing. Ve had those woods so full of smoke ou could not see a man any distance 1 front. I guess the enemy were not very ir off, for we had several men in our ompany wounded. When night came n we got mixed up with the Yanees." We captured some prisoners nd lost some men. Capt. Tom Ducktt was captured when he went after drink of water. This ended all the hard fighting at his place (Bentonville,) although here was come sharp fighting the Oth and 21st. I had a brother who ad gone through the whole war; had een wounded twice before, and was | illed by a %tray bullet on the evenig of the 21st. Wc had to leave him n the battlefield till night before re could carry him off. We had an mbulance come to haul him in and wo comrades, Sergeant Wilson and acob Crouch, with James McKitrick driving the ambulance. It was iark and raining, and the driver ould not see his way. We lighted torch and were going along a road i the woods where the enemy could ee our torch, and they commenced 0 throw shell at our torch, and kept t up till we had to put out the orch and make our way the best we ould in the dark. We finished buryig him about eleven o'clock at night 1 a hard rain. We had no box or ubstitute for a coffin; we just wraped him in his blanket, cut his name 2 a cartridge box lid, tacked it on a arden palling and stucK it up at nis ead.

Sumter, June 18.?Candidates for : State offices to-day began their weary grind, the county-to-county canvass ; opening in the court house here this : morning. Gov. Blease was the first , speaker, John T. Duncan the second , and Ira B. Jones the third. The can- j vass continues through August 22, ending at Greenville. The party ap- i pears in Charleston on July 5. , 1 T 1 ? .1 ?2 i. jDica&e duu dunes met lur me urst < time in a political campaign debate. < The crowd was assembled from four j counties and interest in the speeches 1 was keen. The keynote of Gov. 1 Blease's speech was that of the rule < for the people, while Judge Jones < made the same claim and appealed < for good government. He assailed 1 many features of Gov. Blease's ad- 1 ministration. Second interest was < centered in the race for attorney gen- < eral. The last part of the meeting < was held inside the court house, \ whereas the candidates for the gov- ' ernorship were heard in the open. Gov. Blease prefaced his speech with the statement that two years ' ago, it was predicted his administra- ] tion would bankrupt the State, but 1 that yesterday he had signed notes to 5 fVio omnnnt nf t A A 0 AAA of tVio rata 1 mc ouiuuuv ui i v v,v v v av vug iui<v of 3 per cent. He then started his regularly prepared speech. The- gov- 1 ernor started to speak shortly after 11 o'clock and was greeted with 1 cheers in his speech. Gov. Blease 1 called upon the voters to elect a gov- 1 ernor of the people as opposed to a ^ candidate brought out by the news- ^ papers. 1 Gov. Blease referred to the State ( Democratic convention and mentioned Lewis G. Parker, his attorney, H. J. i Haynsworth, "one W. F. Stevenson," ] corporation attorneys and other financiers, who, he said, "controlled the convention against Cole L. 5 Blease." He said the farmers and * common people were not represented ^ in the convention. "Three cheers for Blease!" rang out a voice in the crowd and it brought cheers. He said : the newspapers and "corporation . ring" were attempting to wrench from the people their right to express { their choice for the governorship. j Won't Weep, If Defeated. \ Gov. Blease stated that his desire to be governor had been fulfilled, and ' that if he were defeated this year, he would have no tears to shed; that he : "was governor and had been govern- j or." (Cheers again.) "Newspapers 1 and corporations," the governor fre- 1 quently referred to as his bitterest j enemies. The governor took up the . matter of taxes and spoke of his opposition to spending so much money \ for the State educational institutions and so little on the common schools. < He touched on the education of ne- 1 groes and expressed his opposition to negroes being taught by white . teachers. Gov. Blease expressed his opposi- : tion to employing an attorney to go about over the State managing his campaign, and he said he had no cor- ; poration or large money interest back ( of him. Newspapers were frequently ! asailed by the governor, and he want ed to know who was "paying the i money" to finance the campaign of J his opponent. He said he had proof . that money1 had been used to buy votes against him and he said he had heard it said that the Jones crowd ! had boasted that if it could not beat . Blease it would "count him out." "I _ _ __ _ J* XL _ I promise to be a governor 01 me people, for I am one of the people," end- ! ed the governor, and he took his seat amid cheers. He spoke half an hour. Duncan Also Attacks Press. ( - John T. Duncan was the second < speaker. He referred to the commit- ] tee investigating the dispensary af- 1 fairs, and said it had resumed its j probing on the edge of the campaign. Reduced "graft" expulsion were the themes of the second speaker. He ' asasiled newspapers and charged { narrow partisanship. I Mr. Duncan could hardly speak for < the shouts hurled at him, and several : times the crowd had to be called to ' order. Judge Jones's Platform. Former Chief Justice Jones was . the next speaker. He started his speech amid silence and attention. * He stated that he would first outline \ hia platform, and then read his pre- j pared speech. He said: "I stand for county local option." He said he ? stood for support of State educational j institutions, and for improvement | and advancement of the common ] schools. He took a stand for good roads and favored the Torrens system of land registration. He explain- i ed these principles clearly. ] He further favored an employers' j liability law, liberal pensions for \ Confederate veterans, enforcement of i the laws against illegal combinations of capital, protection of the right of every white Democratic citizen to vote 1 in the primaries. He spoke of the J veto by Gov. Blease of the act of the | last legislature allowing only citizens to vote in the primaries. Some one said, "Hurrah for Blease!" and one . other took up the cheer. Judge Jones shouted that there were only i two who then cheered for Blease, ; but votes talked louder than cheers and when the vote is counted it '1 will be seen that those that cheer most vote least. ! Judge Jones outlined his belief as . to the use of the pardon power, and favored scientific agriculture. "Let's J down with the demagogue," cried j Judge Jones in warm tones and a ] few cheers rang out for Blease. < Judge Jones told several jokes ] which were thrusts at those who were . sheering for Blease and he said the cheering would be getting "weaker ! and weaker, and on the 27th of Au- 1 ?ust you will hardly hear it." He i was cheered. As to a second term for 1 Blease, Judge Jones said it was traitDrous to give a man office for a se?t- < Dnd term, who had "debauched" the 1 Dffice. Judge Jones denied that he was backed by corporations, and said \ tie knew the head of the Atlantic Coast Lumber Company, W. H. An- : irews, a Blease man, and the head . counsel for the Southern Railway in this State, "Ben" Abney, lives in the 1 'White House." ! Lyon to Expose Evans? . Attorney General Lyon in his ] speech made a bitter attack on B. B. 1 Evans, his opponent, and threatened ' lo produce evidence lr mvans did not 3top his attacks on the members of 1 the Ansel dispensary board that , would prove him to have had crooked , lealings with the State. Mr. Evans was allowed a short re- ; ply to deny a statement made by At- 1 torney general Lyon. Mr. Evans said that if Lyon had any records to show : tie had dealt crookedly he would chal- . ienge him to produce them. Lyon replied he would produce them at Bish- [ spville to-morrow. We recover umbrellas and para- I 30ls of all shades and sizes. F. G. MERTINS, Augusta, Ga.
