A WHITE FIEND.
Go vernor Ansel Offers a Reward
for one Goldberg.
Who In Charge*! With Criminally Assaulting
a Mere Child in Columbin.
The State of South Carolina is
very anxious to catch one Leon Goldberg,
who is charged with criminally
assaulting a ten year old Belgian
girl who came over in the Whittekind
a few weeks ago. The outrage
took place in a bourding house in
Columbia kept for immigrants by
Goldberg.
The girls parents are working on
a farm near Columbia. She is not
badly hurt physically, it is said, and
has been taken by interpreter Famaev
of the department of immigration
to her parents' new home in the
cou ntry.
There is deep feeling among the
immigrants over the matter, and
while there was no talk of violence,
particularity after it was ascertained
mat iue gin was not badly hurt physically,
there was and is a genuine
and general contempt for the man
and he will be severely dealt with
if caught.
C.oldberg is an Austrian. He came
to Columbia about one year ago
from Canada, and had been from
time to time employed by Commissioner
Watson as an interpreter but
had been discharged sometime ago
and had no connection with the immigration
department when he committed
his dastardly crime.
insomuch as the crime was committed
upon the child of one of the
immigrants brought over on the
Whittekind, the immigration department
is doing everything possible
to apprehend this man and will assi
t the legal authorities if lie is captured
and brought back to Columbia.
Coy. Ansel has offered a reward
for the1 scoundrel, and every effort'
is being made to catch him. The
Columbia authorities are doing every
thing they can in the matter and will i
not ltd up in their efforts until Coldberg
is found and brought hack for
trial. Should he be caught he will I
be severely punished. In fact, he I
deserves innging.

tceciit Art of Congress Greatly loci-rases
Their l'ny.
Under the recent act of Congress
making appropriations for the postal
service for the ensuing fiscal
year, the Postmaster General may
fix the salaries of carriers in the
rural service at a rate not exceeding
$900 per annum after July 1, 1907.
The highest rate now paid is $7 2 0
per annum. The readjustment of
salaries under the new law has not
been fully determined, hut it is proposed
to allow the maximum rate,
$900, to all carriers on routes twenty
four or more miles in length, as
shown by the records of the department.
This will give approximately |
22.900 or about GO per cent of the I
carriers an advance in salary of $180
A substantial increase in pay for
other carriers in contemplated. Carriers
on the shorter routes, ranging
from 12 to 14 and form -14 to 16
miles in length, now receive $5 0 4
and $5 4 0 per annum, respectively,
being proportionately better paid
than carriers on routes of twenty or
more miles.
This advance in pay for carriers
and substitutes, it is estimated, will
result in an approximate increase of
$5,900,000 in the cost of rural de%
livery service.
REFUSED TO BE BLUFFED
Some Republicans Wanted to Jump
oil Senator Tillman.
According to a story vouched for j
l>v several prominent men of Winchester
and Martinsburg, W. Va.t u
personal encounter was imminent
early Sunday morning in the Berkeley
Club, at Martinsburg, between
a number of its members and Senator
B. K. Tllman, of South Carolina.
After lecturing there on the race
question Saturday Senator Tillman
was taken to Martinsburg by Howard
Kmmart in an automobile. While
waiting for a train to go to Columbus,
Ohio, the Senator was entertained
by Mr. Emmart and others
at the Berkeley Club, which is composed
principally of Republican business
men. During a discussion of
National affairs Senator Tillman is
said to have made a remark repeating
upon President Roosevelt', which
many club men took as an insult
they being staunch admirers of the
President.
It is statqd the men Jumped to
their feet and angrily demanded that
the Senator's remarks and hur-ih crit
icisnt of the President be withdrawn,
but Mr. Tillman refused to take
back a word of what ho had said.
The difficulty was finally smoothed
over.
SCHOOL HOUSE Bl'HNS.
One Teacher and Eight Children
Crushed to Death.
>
Nine persons, eight of them school
children, were instantly killed and
many others injured at Durango
Mexico, by the collapse of the rool
of the public school building, while
the rooms were crowded with pupil?
The dead include one of the teacher?
and eight members of her class.
Scores were buried under the
wreckage and dehris, and there may
' ]>> be additional deaths, as many of
JL the victims are seriously hurt. The
teacher's body was pinioned beneath
W' a heavy rafter and It was evident
that death had been instantaneous
The injured children were hurried
to the hospital and some of
them to their homes, while the dead
were taken to the morgue, where
heart-rending scenes were enacted as
grief-stricken parents searched for
their loved ones.

LOOKOUT FOR THEM
Three Astute Forgers Are at Work
in This Section.
Descriptions of the Men and IH'talls
of Tlieir Crimes Furnished the IjOcttl
Force.
The Columbia State says the police
of that city is In receipt of a
letter from Mr. William 11. Pierce,
superintendent of police at Boston,
Mass., containing the descriptions of
three men and also a facsimile check
of one of u number of checks that
each of these men have passed which
are forged papers.
The men are: Nelson R. Sears, a
man calling himself J. Simpson, alas
II. Harlow, alias II. Mosher, alias Julius
Sternberger, and the other man
is known by the names of Charles
Williams, Charles Morgan, Charles
Moore, Frank Stephenson, Fred Nelson
and Charles Fisher.
The men are professional checkforging
swindlers who have duped
many business men and merchants
in the United States and who are
said to be headed this way.
Nelson B. Sears is described as being
a man about 4 0 years of age,
height, 5feet 6 or 7 inches; weight,
150 pounds; complexion, medium.
When last soon had a smooth face
but previously" wore a brown raous
tache and Vandyke board mixed with
gray, and had on a long gray coat
and black derby hat. He sometimes
wears glasses.
Sears' scheme is to enter a store,
buy a small bill of goods and then
tender in payment a check, usually
on the State Hank of Chicago, receiving
back the difference in the
bill and the amount of the forged
check calls for. lie sometimes works
on millinery and dry goods stores.
.1. Simpson, with his aliases, is
said to be from !lf> to it) years of age
height, S feet 5inches; weight, 100
to ITT. pounds; broad shoulders, rather
stout build; dark complexion,
apparently a Hebrew. When last
seen he had a dark moustache, dark
overcoat and black derby hat. He
speaks with a foreign accent.
His scheme is to have some woman
present herself to the manager
of the store or one of the linn, represent
that she wishes to purchase
some goods, show a check and ask
him to place his "O. K." on it, saying
that she desires to give same in
payment for the goods.. This check
is very small, usually $2.50. He
puts his "O. K." on it with his initials
or name. This check is never
offered for payment.
Later on the man calls at the
store and* watches his opportunity
when the manager leaves the otlice
and then steps into the managers
othce. Afterwards he walks over to
the cashier, who had presumably
seen the man go into the manager's
ofhc.e, presents a check which is
raised in valus to a much larger
amount than the original to get it
cashed.
The scheme of the first check is
to get the managers's signature and !
! this being had, he forges the enI
.... *r II a 'I
, v.w. nv ii.v-m, III KJ. IV. lO ine DOgll8 |
check and the trick is done. The,
purpose of the crook in going into
j the manager's oflice is to give the
I eahier the impression that lie lias
i just seen the manager and tlie check
! is good.
' The man calling himself Charles
Williams et al., is described as be'
ing between 30 and 3f? years old,
height, feet CJ or 7 inches; weight,
1 r?0 pounds; complexion, mediiun;
chestnut hair, round face, sometimes
wears a small moustache, dark
| clothes and black derby hat.
His scheme is to visit grocers, retail
shoe dealers, whiskey houses
| and dry goods stores, and after buying
a bill of goods offers a check
larger than the amount of the bill
| receving the balance in cash. These
checks are usually made out on the
Boston and New York banks and
are entirely worthless.
It would be well for the police
here and elsewhere to be on the
lookout for these light lingered gentlemen.
They should not be allowed
to run at large.
i 1lOI>K A CKOCODILI? AT SFA
A Queer Inhibition Given at l'ulm
Iteacli, Florida.
Warren Frazler, better known as
"Alligator Joe," treated society folk
at Palm Beach, Fla., lately to a new
sporting sensation. He towed a crocodile
weierhiner 20h nr?imdn well nut
Into the Atlantic Ocean, hud a wrestling
match with it, mounted it harehack,
and brought it hack to shore.
(The crowd, mostly women, gasped
until it was over, and then applauded
smartly.
The crocodile was about sixty to
seventy years old and perhaps twelve
feet long. "He's a young one," said
Fraizer, and he spoke truly, for the
patriorch of his tribe is declared to
be more than 4 00 year old. After
towing it out Frazier released it.
then made a quick jumpv and land
ed stomach down on the creature's
hack. Over and over they went, like
hoys wrestling. The tail of the anii
mal lashing about could he seen, and
at times its forefeet were exposed
as Prazier tilted it up.
, Gradually Prazier worked the reptile
to a steep hank. A rope was
' thrown to him. Keeping the croco?
dilo under water he tied the cord
f around its long snout in two places
? It was then dragged ashore and its
5 tail was tied to its head so that it
} could he lifted to a cart. The reptile
toward the end appeared to ne
5 completely fagged, hut Prazier show[
ed no exhaustion.
The iron output of the Alabama
5 mines amounts to more than 13,000,*
000 tons for 1906.
The Milliners' Union of Chicago
' demands that Easter hats must bear
the union label.
i In a will case in New York the
disposal of $600,000 depended upon a
single word.

Returning home suddenly and not
finding the door open, Mrs. C. M.
Clark, living down in the southwest

entrance and with a revolver opened
fire on a woman she found in the
house with Mr. Clark.
Three shots were fired, one grazing
the shoulder of Victoria Wilde.
Afterward she struck her butt of the
weapon and turning on Julia Messinger,
beat her so badly she is confined
to bed.
Mrs. Clark was informed by neighbors
of visits of women to her home

Her husband is a seuii-invalid, and

Col. Watson Sends Him Word That
He Is Badly Needed.
Ex-Governor Heyward Thursday
received a cablegram from Commissioner
Watson in which he urged
Mr. Heyward to sail for Bremen on
the 2 6th. The cablegram reads:
"Sail 26th all hazards. Need you
badly." It is doubtful, however, if
Mr. Heyward will be able to get
away at that time, as he has some
matters of great importance to the
immigration movement which he has
not yet been able to get in shape for
presentation to the North German
Lloyd Company in reference to the
permanency of the immigration line
to Charleston. There are also per!
sonal matters which might prevent
I Mr. Hey ward leaving next week but
he would endeavor to put these out
of the way if the other affairs were
in shape for presentation. It is likely,
therefore, that he will not sail
until the boat leaving New York on
the 2nd of April, and when he goes
he will he prepared to make a strong
pull for the interests of the whole
South in,general and Charleston and
South Carolina in particular.
Governor Heyward has just returned
from Atlanta, where he went
on business, and while there he had
the pleasure of renewing his acquaintance
with Governor Terrell,

LADY ATTACKED BY NEC HO
She Escapes But The Fiend Kills
Her Baby.
Mrs. James Tolbert, wife of former
Mayor Tolbert of Fairmont, Ga.,
was brutally assaulted and her two
months old child was murdered by
a negro at their home Thursday evening.
The negro, who approached
the house when Mrs. Tolbert was
alone with her child, demanded $50.
Being refused he said he must have
the money or her life.
Then began a struggle during
which he followed her from room to
room, until she escaped and ran to
her husband's store, some distance
away. When she returned with a
party the baby was found with its
head nearly severed from its body
and the negro was missing.
,A posse was soon formed and the
pursuit was kept up during the
night the crowd increasing as the
search continued. The whole country
has been scoured for the negro brute
but his capture has not yet been reported.
Excitement is running high
and there is no doubt, if caneht. tbo
negro will be lynched.
Will liaise More Cotton.
A dispatch from Cario, Egypt, says
the council of ministers has adopted
the proposition to increase the
height of the Assuan Dam. It is calculated
that this will give suflicient
new water to irrigate another million
acres, which, it is estimated,
should yield an increased cotton crop
to the value of $17,500,000 to $20,000,000
annually. It: will take six 1
years to complete.
Prices to Advance.
A dispatch from Birmingham, Ala.
says at a meeting of southern stove
manufactures it was practically
agreed to advance prices five per
cent, because of the high price of
iron and steel and the increased cost
of labor.
The Thaw trial, it is estimated,
will cost the defense a quarter of a
million and the state $100,000.
