Messina experienced two terrific
earthquakes about 7: Itn o'clock
Thursday morning, whicli were accompanied
by roaring sounds and are
said to have had a stronger and more
uadulatory movement than the earthquake
of last December, which destroyed
Messina, lteggio and other
cities, laid waste many villages In
alabria and killed 200.000 people.
Although the shocks had no such
1 n .In enttciHi oonciK' t lu\ o r, fi i\ t\
1 re*i (.uts of that city wore thrown
iato a state of terror. They run into
tie streets panic-stricken and nearly
file entire population is encamped in
t'ae open.
The broken walls of the old ruins
were thrown to the ground and
nitia was for a few minutes smothcr[
ed in a cloud of dust.
The casualties were few. and the
oaly persons killed so far as i-> known
were a young woman and her infant.
The woman had gone there
$ only a few days ago and had settle?l
io rooms which the great earthquake
had left relatively undamaged. She
was standing at the door when the
shock occurred and rushed inside to
save her child. Before -die could
t escape from the room the second
shock threw down the walls, burying
both mother and child under the
dehi is.
Soldiers and engineers who rushed
to the rescue heard the voice of
t ho mother calling for help, and
they worked heroically for several
hours, when they found the dead
bodies, the mother with her child in
her arms.
The first shock was followed quickly
by a second, and the people fled
pell-mell to the American quarter,
v. hieh they seemed to reel was their
safest place of refuge. So great was
the rush to the American huts that
tae authorities were unable to check
f !*e invasion and as a consequence
these structures which were designed
for the most needy of the populace
v^ere taken possession of by tho lieni
comers. The i>olice, however, drew"*
a cordon around this quarter and
a guard was mounted at the bridge
leading to it. Many of the panicstricken
people wore driven olT and
oruers were tssueq uiai n<? one i><?
permitted to occupy the American
quarters pending further instruct ions.
K^ggio suffered almost as severe a
shock as Messina.

Out <?f Clinton.
A horrible state of affairs came
to light at the Clinton Cotton Mills
last week. It seems that a man, of
| whom nothing is really known thereabouts,
has been for quite a while
1 a preacher in that community of
| what is called the "Unknown
Tongue" religion.
H" professed to have various gifts,
and, with devilish practices, it is
commonly believed, perhaps, a sort
of hypnotism ho led "silly women
captives" in the name of religion.
Quite a number of men were the
dupes of his religious practices.
Hoffpvf.'i', partial discovery overtook
htm, and he was driven from the
town by the enraged citizens.
Since his departure facts have
j.; come to light, which, had they b-on
known, wotild doubtless have result
e<i in much harsher treatment than
he received.
Jt is as:-cried that a number of women
have reported to their husbands
that mi th* name of religion he commanded
them to break the Seventh
Commandment. 2V;rny of the alle*g"<l
facts . are well-nigh ? unbelievable,
and the whole inattvi is ineonccivib)y
shocking.

Kvcn as a substitute for the proposed
income tax. President Tuft's eorpo- I
j
ration tax goes down pretty hard, hut j
the Republican Senate leaders are}
j
urging that there should be no split !
between the majority in Congress
and the President, because if friction
should d?'vtdop It would only increase
i|]i' probability of the nonrina- j
tion of Theodore Roosevelt three j
years hence.
Kvon the corporation controlled
sentiment of New Knglund is ai) in
favor of maintaining the great appearance
of harmony between the leg- j
islative and the executive branches
of the government, even if it. becomes
necessary to make concessions
to the President, in order that
there nia> he no cause for a stampede
to Roosevelt when the next Republican
convention meets. The j
Roosevelt specter looms up strongly i
before them, and they unfitly fear
a i i-t ui n of the strenuous one to the '
i hair.
Aldruh ami the Senate chiefs have 1
forced to realize that public re- I
seiitment. caused either hv legislative
or administrative action, is like- ,
iy to take the form of an overwhelming
demand foi Roosevelt, and it i
is one of the surest indications of
Roosevelt's power for good that these
nun would rather yield to public
sentiment, voluntarily than he forced
to yield to Roosevelt, backed by the <
same public sentiment.
In all the speculation regarding
the effect of the legislation soon to
be enacted, both concerning its prutical
operation and the manner of its I
acceptance by the public, the thought
of Koo.-evelt is present in the minds
of every Republican senator and
member of the I louse. To the reactionaries
he looms n ferocious menace
to schemes of special privilege
and corporation aggrandizement. To ;
many of those who have fought the
manifest iniquities of the Aldrieh bill
lie affords the only basis of hope that
t lie public will repudiate both the
hill ami its authors. ,
The tariff tight is ended so far
is it relates to the rates of duty to
he imposed by the bill, and in only
two instances was Aldrieh defeated.
One of these was when he opposed
increasing the duty on pineapples;
the other \\ aa the proposed duty on
crude oil. In ufvithor of these cases
did Aldrieh attempt to coerce the 1
Senate.
Anothet effort, will be made to obtain
a protection for crude oil when
the bill has been reported to the | '
Senate. Senator Penrose will offer !
an amendment providing that when- 1
ever importation of crude oil exceeds
10.000 barrels in any one year, then ;
a duty of one-half cent a gallon shall I
be impose*! upon all Imports in ex- 1
c ess of that in quantity. *
STKAMMItS IN COLLISION.
Tlu* Whakatine Almost Sunk by tin*
Circe OtV Dover.
The British steamer Whakatine
running to New '/eland, was towed
into Dover, lOngland Sunday, July
4th, in a sinking condition and i
beached. The Whakatine was in I
collision o.ft Dungeness in a fog with |
the French steamer Circe. The hitter
was damaged but was able to
proceed on her voyage to Rotterdam.
No lives were lost.
The Whakatine had 3 00 persons
aboard, passengers and crew. She
also carried a large number of valu- ;
able hors \s 11 was an. exceedingly]
narrow escape from a terrible dis- |
aster. Immediately after vessels
struck the Circe, with the help of
another steamer, took the Whakatine
in tow, but tlie hawsers broke. The
Circe then steamed to Dover for assist
a nee.
Several tugs put out and proceeded
at top speed to the sinking steamer.
One of these was lashed to the Whakatine'.s
side and the pumps were
kept at work drawing water from
the hold that was almost full. When
the liner arrived at Dover she presented
an extraordinary appearance
with her stern lying deep in the water.
All the crew were mustered for'
ward. Six salvage tugs and other
vessels were loading assistance in the
' difficult operation of towing the sinking
steamer to tho beach.
The Circe had crashed into her i
amidships, making a great rent in
her wide.

Frank Itouuott, Confoswdly One of
the Gang, Captured After Fi^ht at
Denmark.
A dispahh from Bamberg to tho|
Augusta Chronicle says what hua in
it the po.^ihillty of much development
of a series of crimes and robberies
has been discovered there by
the capture of Frank Hennett, con
fessedly one of the gang of five which
entered the mercantile establishment
of H. J. Brabham, Jr., on Wednesday
night and carried oil perhaps three
or four hundred dollars worth of
goods, consisting of shoes, clothing,
etc. '
Bennett was captured by a posse
right at Denmark Thursday night nf'er
a chase lasting several hours.
Parties from Bamberg have been constantly
on the go ever since the robbery
was discovered and have been
following up every clue obtainable.
The gang of live was seen in old
Denmark i nursday night about dusk
and were discovered with u large
part of tho stolen goods. Three
sacks of shoes have been recovered.
Dan Jeter has been chased, but
without success. Humors are constantly
coming in. but not many
muonn'ing to anything. Thursday
night when the robbers were reported
from Denmark they were pursued,
hut only Drank Dennett captured.
He has given the name of the
gang as follows: Jim Williams, Dan
Jeter. Jr., Henry and Levi Danes
and himself.
In is possible that the party which
has been operating so extensively in
this section for the past six months
has been dii-covered. It is oven likely
that this same gang might have
had a hand in the wrecking of tho
fast passenger train near Denmark
about two months ago.
Certain it is that this crowd has
been to Hamberg before, for Dennett
was found with a revolver which
has been identified as the one stolen
from the repair shop of J. 11. Brickie
several weeks ago.
In Die chase Thursday night shots
were fired several times, and it is
reported by some that tho negroes
returned the fire at one time. A reward
of $7.r> lias been offered for the
apprehension and conviction of the
guilty parties. Strict watch is being
kept at every turn for the thieves
and it. is felt hero that it is only a
matter of time before several others
ol' the gang will he caught.

Negroes .Meet Death Within Few
Miles of Kuril Other.
There were two negro men killed
an tho Southern railway near BamIx^rwithin
a radius ol' six miles
within 24 hours. One appears to
have boon the result of stealing a
ride on the roads, while tho other
seems to have been a case of suicide.
The first to occur was the case
above Oenmark, and an unknown ncgro
man was the victim. From what
nan be learned this mail was Been
passing l.ees and is said to have appeared
very morbid, saying that he
was going from his home in Blaekville,
where he had recently lost his
wife. When tho body was found It
was seen that the man had made deliberate
plans for suicide; ho had
made a bed of Chinaberry leaves and
limbs between tho cross ties, placing
his head on tho rail. Tho enr
wheel struck diagonally across his
face, and cut off part of his elbow
which was across the rail seemingly
holding the head on one side. There
was nothing about his clothing by
which he could be identified.
The other death occurred just
about two and a half miles above
Bamberg, near tho home of Mr. J.
11. Iladwin. Judging from the many
bruises about the body and from the
manner in which lie was cut by the
train wheels, tho man was tiding on
the rods ol' a freight train and perhaps
fell asleep or lout his balance
in some way. There was an envelope
found in the clothing addressed
to William Hogg. It is thought
that this negro came from Rranchville,
where his mother is Huid to
bo living. *

Death of a Strange Person Near
Columbia.

Habits.
The Columbia States says that .T.
Eugene L. Fields, uged about 01,
died suddenly at the homo of Mr.
L. E. Kelly Tuesday morning about
11 o'clock. Mr. Kelly lives on the
Garner's ferry road, about four miles
east of Columbia. On account of
certain circumstances, 'ho coroner
was notified at once.
Fields had, according to ais usual
habits, stopped at this house for a
cup of coff< o. Shortly afterwards he
called the children into the yard
and nffer offering up a short prayer
fell into convulsions and expired.
After an examination it was practically
certain that Fields died from
heart wwikncst;, although a further
investigation will be made. The body
has been brought to the city and will
be prepared for interment.
The death of Fields removes a

or where he lived was not known.
He dressed shabbily, although two
bank bowk3 were found on his person
at the timo of his death and
shortly before that he reported to
the police the loss of about $100.
He was always deeply interested
in religious services and was especially
anxious to attend revival meetings.
However, bis life disturbed no
one and several times it was rumored
that he gave to charity from the
money he managed to obtain somehow.
The coroner is now endeavoring
to trace his relatives and they will
be notified if found. There is about
$75 in one bank to his credit. He
has been in Columbia for about 20
years, but few people know anything
of his history and for this reason
his former station in life will probably
never bo known.
He seemed to think that religion
did not mean labor or cleanliness,
and his unkept person, with long
matted hair and longer board, has
often boon observed in places of worship.
His hat was always stuffed
with old newspapers, for he was an
omnivorous reader.
