Vaughn Denies Having Made Confes- I
sion in Baltimore.
Columbia, Sept. 30.?Evidently
laboring under strong emotion and I
with voice somewhat broken by stress t
of a realization of his serious plight, c
T. U. Vaughn, former head of the \
Odd Fellows' Home, at Greenville, c
1 this morning denied making a con- t
fession that he was guilty of im- a
proper and criminal treatment of girl e
inmates of the institution under t
which charge he rests in a cell on the 1:
lower floor of the main building at I:
the State penitentiary. \
The governor has called a special a
term of court to give trial to Vaughn,
-iota K^ino- Or>tr?hor 91. The at-I I
luc uaic ^ ? v. .
torneys for Vaughn have asked for c
a change of venue and this step may e
result in a delay of the trial. 1
Vaughn said that his case was in t
the keeping of his lawyers and he re- t
alized that he could not discuss the c
matter for publication, as it might t
affect the conduct of the case very i
materially. However, he intimated y
that there were motives behind the
prosecution that placed him in an un- r
fair light, although he said he be- 1
lieved that the reaction might set in \
and he would profit by a revulsion of i
sentiment. He deplored repeatedly t
the news story sent out from Balti- t
more in which it was stated that he a
confessed. t
"How such a view could have been c
caused by my remarks I cannot un- t
derstand," he continued. "What T a
meant was that I was glad that the a
time had arrived when the whole
matter might be brought to a settlement
in a proper way." He denied
that he hinted that friends in Greenville
had helped him escape. He said I
he did not refer to the escape from u
the Greenville jail. He said he did s
not say that his friends were work- 1<
ing in his behalf. ^
"Some newspapers have created a
false sentiment against me," he said, "V
"to gratify public curiosity, though
others have been fair to me." ^
"Just say to the public, that I
await with confidence the approach j
of the day of the trial and feel that
when the tide of sentiment has fully
turned the other way, I will be able *
to prove that I am a victim of false
circumstances." ^
0 Vaughn did not explain what he
meant by his hint that enemies of j
> his were responsible for the situation,
saying that he preferred not to i
go into details in advance of his trial,
) leaving the defence of the case in the Q
hands of his lawyers.

A Counterargument. ?
General Basil Duke, of Louisville,
one of the few surviving brigadiers c
of the Confederacy and the com- "
mander of Morgan's cavalry, following
the death of his brother-in-law,
General John Morgan, told this story
recently at a reunion of the survivors
of the Battle of Shiloh, says the Sat- *
I urday Evening Post.
He said that during one of the
Tennessee campaigns Morgan's men 1
surprised and drove back a regiment
* of Federal troopers. In the midst
of the retreat one of the enemy, who
was mounted upon a big bay horse,
suddenly turned and charged the victorious
Confederates full tilt, waving
his arm and shrieking like mad
as he bore down upon them alone. c
Respecting such marvelous courage,
* the Confederates forebore shooting c
the approaching foe; but when he ,r
was right upon them they saw there
was a different reason for his foolhardiness.
He was a green recruit. His horse
had run away with him?the bit had
broken; and white as a sheet and
scared stiff, the luckless youth was
being propelled straight at the
whooping Kentuckians, begging for
mercy as he came.
Jeff Sterritt, a noted wit of the
command, stopped the horse and
made a willing prisoner of the rider. .
Sterritt, who had not washed or '
shaved for days and was a ferocious
V looking person, pulled out a big pis- ^
tol. "I don't know whether to kill
.you right now," he said, "or wait
until tlie fight is over!"
"Mister," begged the quivering
.captive, "don't do it at all! I'm a dissipated
character?and I ain't prepared
to die!"
A Slip of the Tongue. 1
Aunt Mandy had obviously no intention
of perverting the truth, but
her testimony had been so evidently
colored by the excitement of the oc- j
casion that at its conclusion the ]
judge requested the court stenogra- 1
pher to read the transcript, so that j
the witness might correct her state- t
ments. t
The stenographer began: j
"What is your name?" j
"Amanda Johnson."
"What is your age?" i
"Fifty-eight." I
"Foh de land's sakes, jedge!" '
broke in the excited Amanda. "Did <
Ah say Ah was fifty-eight yeahs old? j ]
Ah mus' have been plum flustratei 1 ]
Ah shorely mus'. Why, dat ain't ma ;

LOST BRIDE AM) MONEY.
Rejected Suitor, who Travels Many i
Miles, Tells Strange Story.
Valdosta, Ga., Sept. 27.?The
United Charities had an application
o-day from a well dressed, prosper>us
looking intelligent white man,
rho told a rather queer story. He
leclared that he had no money and
hat he had just come from Texas in
nswer to a long series of correspond
tnce irom a iauy m tmo wum.,1. mt;
lad become engaged and he came
lere to marry her, but when she saw
lim she backed out, claiming that he
ras older than his picture made him
appear.
The man gave his name as Ware,
le stated that he had about $150 in
ash, besides a lot of jewelry, jewiler's
tools and things of that kind,
le being a small jewelry dealer in
he town where he resided. The lady
old him that she had several hunIred
dollars and would set him up in
>usiness. He evidently sent her a
)hotograph that was taken several
'ears ago.
At any rate, about the time he arived
here he became sick and was
aid up in bed for two or three
\-eeks. By the time he recovered
lis money was all gone. He told
he secretary of the United Charities
hat he had been living on ten cents
i day for four days, being too proud
o beg and not caring to let his real
ondition be known. The freight on
lis supplies amounts to about $75
nd he is now trying to raise mat
.mount and get down to work.

On me whose heart is seared;

As now she has in thine.

The dim and smouldering flame;

Then who must bear the blame.

The life of Isaiah Butler has been <jowi

spend the balance of his days in the
penitentiary,, the sentence having
been commuted. J. A
Butler, a negro, has twice escaped
the electric chair, the date for his execution
having been postponed two
weeks ago. The strange actions of the
man had the appearance of degeneracy
and led the officials to feel that
an. investigation by experts would be
worth while. j
The following physicians composed
the board of inquiry: Drs. W. M. Xotf
Lester, S. B. Fishburne, and R. T.
Jennings. In their report they arrived
at the conclusion that Butler ^
was "totally irresponsible" and that
he was "an imbecile at the time of hum
