JrIT Clark, n .Mulatto, Was Hanged
Friday Morning in the Jail Yard
at Monck's Corner.
JefT Clark, who was convicted of
murder at the last term of court at
Monck's Corner, was hanged there
on Friday, in the presence of a large1
crowd of both white and blacks.
1-Jarly in the morning the crowd began
to collect and by 11 o'clock fully
300 persons were present. This
is the first hanging in Berkeley county
since tlte court house iias been
located here.
Jeff Chirk is a young man, a mulatto,
about 22 years old, and weighs
about 1 T?0 pounds. Since his conviction
his spiritual needs have been
administered to by the Itev. Samuel
Hash, of the Unformed episcopal
church, and the Uev. July Meyers,
of the Baptist church.
Clark expressed himself as being |
perfectly resigned to die, having
made his peace with Cod soon after
he was condemned. For the past I
week he has been restless and nervous
and at times would shed tears
t
freely. Thursday his family visited \
him for the last time and left him!
in a highly nervous condition.
services were conducted in (tie)
doomed man's cell by I lie Ucv. Snm-j
uel Hash, assisted by several of the
colored clergy in the eoiiiiiiiinity.
Chirk expressed himself as willing
to die. The death sentence was read
to him in his cell by Sheriff Causey.
He was then conducted to the gallows,
erected in the jail yard, accompanied
by the sheriff, his deputies
and spiritual advisers when
another religious service was held.
The noose was placed around his
neck, the trap sprung, and Jeff Chirk
was launched into eternity. He was
allowed to hang 15 minutes, when
he was pronounced dead by County
Physician Dr. \V. K. Kisli hurtle.
The whole affair passed off with order
and precision, everyone realizing
that Jeff Chirk received his just
dues for the heinous crime which
he committed.
It. will be remembered that Jeff
Clark shot his father, Calvin Clark
in bed, hauled the body aboiu two
miles and buried it in the woods.

HI uefleld, W. Va., Jan. 12.?As
a result of another explosion at the
l.ick Branch Mine, at Switchback,
about twenty miles from here, between
fifty and one hundred miners
were killed this morning.
The number may be largely increased.
as from 280 to 300 miners
were at work at the time and it
had not been ascertained shortly hefore
noon how many survived.
It was only last Friday that the
last body of a victim of the cxnloslnn
of l)oronilmr L* X was ronmvo'l. i
af11 r which the Stale mine inspector.; \
declared the ttiine safe and that work
could lie resumed.
A majority of the miners engaged ! ,
to resume work were Americans. 1;. I
was stated. The mine was examined
this morning heforc? the new shift
went to work. Soon after work was
begun the explosion occurred.
At 1 o'clock this afternoon the
rescue party had not been aide to I
enter the mines, on account of the j
intense ileal. It is thought that following
the explosion the niin ; ]
caught on lire.
Ollicials decline to estimate the
number dead, but at the pit mouth
It is believed that a hundred have
perished.
I'resh air is being forced into the
mine. The miners place the blame
on some of the foreigners who may
have entered the mine with open
lamps.
