The Dispensary is So Corrupt That

Who Fi?es Some Very Hot
Shot at ihe Senator.
Senator Tillman in a manifesto
which he gave to the public recently
attacked a great many peo;le and
u (.tibials, not even sparing the merrily
c era of the committee appointed to
investigate theITxirs of the Slate dls
pensary. That reference has been
taken by J. Fraser Lyon us an
eff jrt to db^edlc the investigating
committee *>.d in a letter to the attorney
for a liquor bolide Mr. Lyon
has expressed himself rather forcibly
in regard to Senator Tillman's state
mcnt.
The letter of Mr. Lyon has been secured
for publication after some elfort
on the part of The State, but the
attorney to whom it is addressed a^ks
that his name be kept out of it. Following
Is tbe communication:

My Dear Sir: Your two letters of
recent aa^e were received by me upon
my return home yesterday after au
absence of about two weeks. You
will, the refcre, understand why you
have not tod an earlier reply. While
it is tiue Aat I do not think there is
any good ^ison for withholding payment
of the claim of the Cook &
Bernheimer company of New York
still, as 1 have said heretofore, 1 will
uot give my consent to the payment
of this or any other dispensary cialm
now held up until the matter of such
payment is dh cussed at a public session
of our committee.
1 feel sure that you will appreciate
my position in this matter, especially
since the pu dicailon of Senator Tillman's
"Address to the People of
Soutn Carolina," in which he says:
"Is there not pl? uty of opportunity
I for more graft and secret transaction!;
F 1?\ regard to the settlement of these
accounts? VN ill not the legislative
committee be suspected of corruption
if It does not get lu the middle of the
road and stay there?that Is, stand by
the law, obey it itself and require
others to cio so? Why so much delay
?"
You see this additional reason for
my position. It is uufortunaie for
your clients to have had dealings with
an institution which no one eau even
invesugate without having it surges
ted or insinuated that he may be a
grafter, or at least has a goud opportunity
to steal. While 1 regard this
reference to our committee as only a
shrewd attempt tc shake public confidence
in us and Intend to obstruct and
interfere wlih our work, which Is evidently
becoming distasteful to many
of those who are irrevocably wedded
to the dispensary, still when 1 see the
proneness to criticise us 1 wish to bt
especially careful not to put myself ir
a position that could, with even aculof
justice be criticbed.
lu your letter of March 26 you prac'
tlcally asked the question, and sincerelyj-''Why
so muoii delay ?" I know
no facltbat I have learned in thedlspensaify
investigation that I shall intentional
withhold from the public
Sometimes 1 do not think It best foi
the si ccess of the Investigation to re
veal facts and suspicions as soon ar
they come to me or to disclose oui
plans for the future, so In this e?jt<
I will answer your question only sc
far as 1 think the pieser.t status sc
the investigation justifies.
We are trylug to get the fac's in re
gard to several suspicious macbstt
which we think should be Invest get
ed. Amoi g them is the statement as 1
recall It, of Senator Tilln.an that hi
returned certain rebates to a distili
ery. We wish to find the credits on
thtfvhuoks of the distillery s.lowing
thU?tJlou:it of r bates which Senator
Tinman said'he ic.urneo as a g.fc fm
the gra -itude he felt to the i quo
concerned crediting the State of S ur,<
Caroiioa. B: sides this there had couie
to my ears a rumor?the sou.ee of
which 1 do not n -w recall, but a aimor
winch I think should be looked
into?that Senator Tillman when gov
errur was presented with a piano bv a
Honor coittnn. Ii. mav he that re
ce.pus may be s lOwa fur M:o reb&>.s
whicn way iiavvi been returned >,ud
also for payment of this piano wmo may
have been received j.h wub rumored
to be the satisfactory cxplana
tlon in the ca.se of tbe To will horse
matter.
Still we do not know tbe facts in
regard to these things and think
tbe legislature intended for us to in
ve^ttgate sucb transactions as these
as;well as other vague and uncertain
trotters to which common rumor
g^vN currency. We must do our
dut y in looking into these tilings and
yob may judge by the above samples
that we must have, much time in do
log It. Furthermore, it is not ex
pedieutand I would not approve ol
the committee holding a public session
every time Senator Cnriatensec
and I have done all we can In exam
inlng each claim. I recognize the
fact that we may be chantry a '"wl'lo'
the-wigp" In all of these matters,
and that your clients may setT^r in
the meantime, but, whether cur ef
forts be pucu a chase or not, It seems
certain that In all events our committee
mus walk through fie mire
The opinion Is so prevalent that
the dispensary has been a breeder of
so much corruption that no one can
touch It without, the suspicion of some
one being aroused. U.if jrtunately, in
the case of our commute, the insinu
tion of this suspicion Is cast up 11 us in
the public prints by one who, above ail
others, may know of the innermost affairs
of the dispensary as trusacted by
its ctllcers s nee its inception. I
I trust, however, that we will dn
ally emerge from our distasteful task
meriting the cor tldence and approval
of all honest citizens. Believing that
this will satisfactorily explain our
delay. 1 am
Yuurs very truly,

The Washington correspondent <f

Washington in regard to rural routes
under recent dale that it is probable
some of them may be cub off. It behooves
the people in the country to
patronize them. la regard to this

says:
Some of the c thctals of the postclHoe

somewhat nettled at the reports pub

they intended to discontinue rural 1
free delivery routes which did not !
handle as much as 2 000 pieces of
mall a month. They were nettled es- !
ptdaily because in that same letter I
called attention to the fact that the
operations of this rule would affect 1
routes principally in the south, where
the number of negroes on the routes
who do not use mails very modi
caused the average number of mail
' pieces to he so low. Tne number of
pieces haodled on the routes in South

after giving the number of mail

which it is thought a route should

The letter notifies Mr. Finley that

GAVE UP WIFE
Who Confessed She Loved
Another From Childhood.
A PATHETIC ROMANCE
n the Life 01 Rev. W. F. Cady Crops
Out in the Story of Mis Divorce
Suit Against His Wife
at Bridgeport Conn.
Recently.
AtNiwburg, N. Y., 0119 night
last week the scattered threads tn the
romance of May Foster Nichols and
Rov. William J. Cady were tinally
tirawn together by the wife's story of
the strange circumstances that led to
the divorce which was granted to the
minister a few days before at
lirldgeport, Conn., by Judge Gager
>f the Sutcrlor Court.
It is a story of blighted love which
3n the part of the broken hearted
clergyman at least, closely parallels
that other story of love aud sacrifice
in whloti John Raskin, d'scovering
that his young aud beautiful wife
lovid aud was beloved of Sir .inhn
Milluls, jut of the nobleties of his
nature freely gave her up to his bosom
friend
Tue Rev. William J. Cariy, blinded
by his own great love for May Foster
Nicho's, learned from her lips six
months bfler their marriage, and
when she belie /ed sho was on her
ieatn bed, so he asserts, that her
heart was in the possession of another.
Stunned, but*lill loving her, the
broken- hearted man sealed his lips
until, her mind freed of the great
burden which it had carried for six
months, the wifes health mended, he
gently and lovingly turned her from
nim and resigned her to the sweetheart
of her childhood.
Unlike Raskin, however, he still
yearned for her affection, and by all
the artifices,jof toe ardent wooer,
sought to awaken in his wife the affection
which she had avowed belonged
to another. To this extent he succeeded,
that the wife onee more returned
to his home, and on her part
sought to kindle the flame which
would weld her heart to his.
Rut her thoughts wont constantly
buck to the sweetheart of old, and
sadly and sor.owfully they parted.
Toe end came in the Superior Court
Bridgeport. The minister was
granted a decree of divorce on the
g.-ound of desertion. The same day
lib dream of love shattered, his con
giegatiOQ rent in twain by the revelation
of his dom soio tragedy, his
heart numb within him, lie departed
for Kansas Cltv, where am.d new
soenes ne nas aken a new charge in
the hope of blitttng ouo the past, j
Mrs. Cady, free now to plaoe her af- j
factious where they have constantly
waudcrcd since childhood has returuad
10 the homo of her mother InNewourg
where lives Dr. E. F. Brooks,
.he man to whose love the minister
has resigned his wife.
Ltev. Mr. Cady's last words on leaving
for the West wero of affection and
forgiveness for the woman who was
his wife. "After we had been mar
ried six months," lie said t.o an intimate
friend, "my wife was taken ill
with a severe cold, She feared she
was going to die. While in this condition
she confessed to me that she
vas in love with Dr. E. F. B'onks, of
Newburg, N. Y. They were old and
intimate friends. I told her she was
free to go with the man she loved,
hut she remained with me a year
after that. Then she went to her
home iu Newburg, where she is at
present and the physician in question
boards at her home. I wrote ner sov
oral letters asking her to return, but
rhey were ignored. It Is belter so. i
have no bitterness in my heart for
her. But It was a terrible awakening
My only hope now is that I may forget
and that she may be happy."
The romance dates back several
vears, at the beginning is the old

New York several years prior and

and a fav ?rite In Newburg society
circles, and in the blindness of
tils own love and me ting favor in the
eyes of Dr. Ellzibeth Nichols, her
mother the young clergyman fancied

Mrs. Nichols. herself a st.Hp.t-.
church-woman, Haw nothing but ad
vaut?g3 in the marriage of her daughter
to a stalwart youug member of
toe cloth, and though her daughter
was madly in love with young Dr.
Brooks, her playmate of ohildhood
she was encouraged to accept the attentions
of Cady, and the match was
finally arranged. A dutiful daugh
ter. the your# girl gave her consent
and, obi vious ofgcverything elso but
that the dream of his life was about
V* b? realized, the young minister led
his loveless wife to the altar.
The young husband took hta wife
to Manorvllle, L. I., whtro he waa In
charge of a church, and for six months
his happiness knew no abatement.
Then the young wife was suddenly
taken ill. A heavy cold settled on her
lungs, and the husbaud was almost
frantic as he saw her fading away
before hi i eyes, llor mother attended
her during her Illness, and she as well
as the languishing patient, knew too
well that another illness that centered
In her heart, was wasting the young
life away. Hut still not a word was
spoken, until finally it became necoessary
to call In the services of another
physician, who silently shook his
head and pronouneed the case of the
wife hopeless.
Then It was that she formed her
resolution. Calling to her bedside the
anguished husband she told him with
what she thought was her dying
breath as he knelt beside her, her
eyes turned full on his, the sacret
that blasted his hopes forever. "Will,
Will," the minister says she cried between
her sobs "I must speak and
tell you that 1 never, never loved you.
1 love another. All this while, all this
time that you have known me, I've
lovrd an tber.
The kneeling man fell back; prostrated
the blow. Then, as the
thought of the solemn hour occurred
to him, he steeled his heart and listened
sliently until the full confession
had been mule, Lie then called his
religion to Ills support, and in a voice
strained weak and passionless, he
said: "I forgive you. If iudeed a

done it."
That night the patient's condition
took a turn for the better and within
a week she was on the road to recovery.

Tnen It was In the same calm passionless
voice that he said, as he took her
hand gently: ' if It be true you would

Hut now she faltered. She had seen
him In adversity, under the greatest
blow thai, can be struck at a man,
and his strength and fortitude, his
gentle forbearance and noble self-sacritice,
sounded a new note, and for a

to awaken in her heart the love
for 111m that he still craved by look

not die. At the end of th year she left

Still he sought her by letter, beseeching
her to return once more and
strive to tlnd In hlui the qualities
which w mid crown his devotion with

Many Killed and Injured in Accident
Said to be Due to Carelessness.
At N&gold, Germany, tlfty-ttve persons
were killed and 100 dangerously
Injured Thursday b> the collapse of
the hotol / > m Hlrschen. The building
had not been fully oompleted and
the catastrophe Is attributed to the
nou-observance cf proper precautions.
Tue roof of the building had beon only
put In place Wednesday morning, an
event which In accordance with German
custom, was celebrated by a
feast. The quests were reported to
have engaged in a dance, and this, to
gether with the large number of persons
on the lloor, probably was what
caused the building to collapse.
There were 200 persons present,
most of whom were burled In the
ruins. At 10 o'clock Thursday night
55 dead bodies had been recovered and
100 injured were taken from the ruins,
many of them in a serious condition.
Twenty persons still arc missing and
probably are dead.
The accident is attributed to carelessness
on the part of those who were
making repairs on the building, which
had been raised live feet from the
ground in order to give more spaoe for
the lower story. The work began early
In the morning and was supposed to
have been finished at noon. The keen
er of the hotel invited the workmen
and a large number of townspeople to
a grand dinner.
The company assembled in the middle
banquet room and was drinking
the health of the builder and landlord
when suddenly a crash was heard
above. A score of those in the ban buet
room jumped from the windows
and doors in time to escape, when the
house came down with a crash.
The town Thursday night presents
an indescribable scene of horror and
grief. There is hardly a family but
has lost one or more members. The
villagers and people of the surrounding
country are inquiring for their relatives.
The dead are laid out in the
town hall adjacent to the sceue of the
disaster. The work of rescue Is still
proceeding, but the full losses will not
be known until Friday.
L0B1S8 HIS LIFE.
A Daring llallonn Anoont UikIh in the
Auionaut'H Death.
Death in the waters of Bass creek,
along the south shore of Long Island,
between Jones Beach and Amltyville,
N Y., ended the daring balloon ascent
Wednesday afternoon of Paul Nocq
let, a French sculptor of noto and an
enthusiastic amateur aeronaut. The
body was found Thursday night on
the muddy shore of the creek where
the tide had left it and not a great
distance from where Nocquet's collapsed
balloon was discovered late Wednesday
night by the life savers of
Jones beach.
The discovery of the body put an
end to a seared which had Included
ocean, laud and marshes. Noequet
apparently landed safely with his oar
and In tightirig his way out of the
meadows in the darkuess had traversed
about two tifths of the distance from
Jones beach to Amltyville, several
miles, when he died. He had crossed
13 or 11 different islands and had swum
or waded through the runlets between
them.
That Noequet traveled as far as he
did Is considered wonderful. lle must
have struggeld the last ral e of the
two he traveled under fearful difficulties.
He essayed a trip that few men
could p jsslhly have completed In daylight.
The valve c ratrolling the ropes
of the balloon when found Indicated
that the descent had been started by
Nocquet's action and that must have
been gradual.
When Noequet started on his Hight
Wednesday afternoon the wind was
blowing out to sea. This meant that

and out over the ocean. A life preserver
was strapped Inside the basket and
the word to let go was given.
The balloon In its flight passed over
Jamaica, Garden City, Westbury, Jericho
and Cold Spring Harbor, then
darkness came and shut it from
view. Capt. George Smith of Amltyvllle
located the body Wednesday
night on the muddy bank of Hans
creek ahd made It fast to a stake. It

after having been viewed by the coroner.
