Those Hitten by the Animal. Which
Whh a Fine Bird I>og. Were Mr.
Alfred Wallace, Mrs. May rant.
Alfred Wallace, Jr., and Mr. A.
H. of th? State.
Tho State says Quail, an Rnglish
alitor beluglng to Alfred Wallace,
of Columbia, appears to have become
afflicted with hydrophobia, and
ban attacked several persons. Not
wishing to alarm the people of the
citjr uune esaarlly, no statement was
given out at the time, for it was
hoped that the dog was not affected
with rabies, and the animal was put
under lock aud key awaiting developments.
Tho persons attacked by this dog
are Mrs. Mayrant, mother of Mrs.
Wallace; Alfred Wallace, superintendent
of the street railway; Alfred
Wallaco. Jr., attorney at law, and
A. Hamilton Seats, of The State.
A very flno dog, the property of
Magistrate Jas. H. Fowles, is known
to havo been attacked, aa well as
other dogs being under suspicion.
Tho members of Mr. Wallace's
household were attacked Sunday.
The animal was supposed at first to
have been 111 tempered on account
of having probably been poisoned
by chicken thieves who visited the
place, corner of Senate and Henderson
streets, one night last week.
However, Hr. F. A. Coward, the
State bacteriologist, was notified and
all wounds were cauterized ami the
auinial was looked up pending developments,
for if it were affected
with rabies, death would come in
five days. It would not be necessary
to administer to the persons attacked
any Pasteur treatment within that
length of time.
Tuesday night the animal freed
Itself from its fastening and at the
corner of Benate and Barnwell street
attacked Mr. Seats as he was on :
his way to supper. The- dog struck !
him in the chest without warning,
and as Mr. Seats foil hack from the
Impact, the dog fastened its teeth
in his left arm Just above the elbow.
He went at once to I)r. T. M. I)uBose
and had the wound cauterized.
l)r. Coward stated that even should
the animnl bo caught and found to
be rabid, ho has at the laboratory
enough virus to treat all the persons
who have been attacked.
Quail is a white seter, female,
with liver colored spots. Every j
patrolman In the Uty was given her j
description and Sergt Sloan saw her j
at the corner of Main and Oervals ,
streets at 1 o'clock in the morning. |
Ho fired one time and is satisfied :
that he wounded the dog. All persons
in the city are advised if such j
a dog is killed to notify at once the
police station or Dr. A. F. Coward
so that the brain may be tested.
There was another rabid dog running
amuck Wednesday and created
muoh excitement on Main and As- (
sembly streets in the section from
Washington street to the poatofllce. j
Two officers were needed to kill it,
the animal refusing to die after
being shot and severely beaten about
the head by the first officer, who
essayed to dispatch it. The animal
fcommenced its last run on Assembly
street and after attacking another
dog, it was seen to be clearly
out of Its sense.
Policeman Dreher therefore shot
it and when the animal fell, ho advanced
and after beating it vigorously
with his club left it for dead.
Tho dog recovered in a few momenta
and ran into Main street, creating
much excitement on this thorough

ZELAYA HAS RESIGNED
TYHAXICAL NK;ARA(}1'AN KVLKK
YIKLDS TO TIIIC 1NKV1TABLJK.
With Uie Whole Country Beething
With Revolution Against Him,
This Was IIIn Only Way Out.
A dispatch froiu Managua says
Jose Santas Zelaya has resigned
from Uie Presidency of Nicaragua.
He placed his resignation in the
hands of Congress Thursday morning.
Apparently there was no other
course for him to take. The
people were at last aroused. The
guns of the revolutionists threatened.
the warships of the United States
were in Nlcaraguan ports.
Managua has been seething for
days. The spirit of revolt has spread
even to the gates of the palace.
Zelaya surrendered himself with an
armed guard. Unchecked the pop
ulace have inarched through the
streets, crying for the end of the
old, proclaiming the new regime.
Who will take up the reins no
one knows nor cares. It is sufllcieut
that Zelaya as dictator will be known
no more. There is no doubt that
Congress will act quickly on his
resignation, for the people have demanded
it.
l)r. Jose Madrlz, Judge of the
Central American Court of Justice
at Cartago, who has been close to
Zelaya, and Is now his choice for
a president, has gone to Managua.
Madrlz has his following,
strong and Influential, even among
the revolutionists, but Gen. Estrada,
under whose command the great
body of lighting insurgents now face
Vasquez's troops at Kama, will have
none of hiin. Estrada's word will
bear weight In the choice of a President.
Zelaya has known, too, that
Madrlz Is not acceptable to the United
States, and he has sought to learn
U'hn wrtlllit hA Innliiwl iinnn uilt h fa.
vor by that government as his sue
cessor.
Accompanying his resignation,
Zelaya sent the following message
to congress:
"The painful circumstances In
which tho country Is plunged call for
acts of abnegation and patriotism on
the part of good citizens, who are
the witnesses of the oppression of
the Republic by tho heavy hand of
fate. The country is staggering under
1 shameless revolution, which
threatens the imtlon's sovcre'gnty
and a foreign nation unjustly intervenes
in our affairs, publicly providing
the rebels with arms, which has
only resulted in their being defeoted
everywhere through the heroism of
our troops.
"To avoid further bloodshed, and
for the reason that tho revolutionists
have declared that they would
put down their arms when I stirrender
the executive power, I hereby
place in the hands of the national
assembly tho nhnnilnnm?nt r?f thn
remainder of my term of ofllce, which
in to be filled by a substitute on their
choosing, with the hope that this
will result in good to Nicaragua, the
reestablishment of peace, and partic
ularly the suspension of the hostlli
ty of the United States to which 1
do not wish to give a pretext for
intervention."
A commission of five deputies wai
appointed to d^aft a bill looking t(
the acceptance of Zelaya's resigna
tion, which is now eonsi lered a inert
formality. News of the president's

the streets, shouting for the Unitec

Held in control for years by th<
strong hand of Zelaya. the peoph
have been quick to break througl
restraint when it was certain tha

that has been rising around him
During the later days Zelaya hai
! resorted to all tho known tricks an<
contrivances to hold tho people o
Managua with him.
Reports of a government victor;
at Kama have boon freely circulat
ed, and rumors that a massacre o
revolutionists had occurred were al
lowed to spread unchallenged and un
denied. It finally became knowi
that these wero without a shred o
truth, and they rebounded like \
boomerang.
First one deputy then another tool
up the denunciation of Zelaya i
the chamber and later in the publi
places, and soon throughout the cit
demonstrations were held, in whic
open revolt was voloed. Wednet
day night, however, a pro Zalay

A special dispatch from Charlotte
to the Columbia Record says Mr.
W. L. Folder, a well known buaiuohh
man of St. Matthewu, S. C.,
was ahot In the left arm and aide
at the Southern passenger atatiou
thore Tuesday morning by Harry
Jones, an exproes messenger.
Mystery surrounds the affair, no
provocation or excuse for the shooting
being given by either Jonea or
Felder. The shooting took place
at 2:30 o'clo !k Tuesday morning.
Hhortly after the arrival there of
train 3 9, and was witnessed by two
other express messengers, who de?,

at flrst, but afterwards told about
it after they were arrested. Folder,
who is not. it is hoped, dangerously
wounded, is in the Presbyterian hospital.
Jones is in Jail, where he will
be held for the preliminary trial.
The Record gives the following
particulars of the shooting:
The first person to reach Mr. Folder
was Capt. F. 11. Fishburn of
Columbia, while I)r. A. 11. Knowlton
of Columbia was also near and gave
the wounded man prompt medical
attention. The shooting ocouirod at
the Churlotte union station about
2:45 a. m. Mr. Folder, as well as
Capt. Fishhurne and Dr. Knowlton,
was at the station expecting to come
to Columbia on Southern railway
train No. 29, due to leave Charlotte
at 3:110 a. m. While in the lunch
room Capt. Fishburne had been talking
with Mr. Folder, but left and
went into the combination baggage
car to lie down.
Mr. Folder, It seems, walked tip
to the door of the express car,
where the express messenger was
checking up his express with the
negro porter, and it is said that Mr.
Folder asked if lie could get aboard
the car, as the passenger coachs had
not been opened and it was cold out
Bitio. What else passed between
them is not known, except that Mr.
Felder stated ufterwards that he was
shot, without warning, from the express
car.
Capt. Flehburno was first to reach
the wounded man, and having seen
Dr. Knowltou at the station, summoned
hlin. Mr. Feldor waa carried
to the Stonewall hotel, at the station.
until he could bo taken to the
hospital, and after some delay the
ambulance arrived and he was carried
to the Presbyterian hospital.
At Mr. Folder's request, Dr. Knowli
ton remained with him, returning to
i Columbia on No. 35 instead of No.
20, and reaching Columbia at 10.30
a. m. Wednesday.
1 Dr. A. II. Knowlton, who was with
Mr. Felder Just after he was shot
at Charlotte early in the morning,
i bitterly criticised the Charlotte po>
lice department when he arrived In
- Columbia. He says three officers
; were notified and given all the facts
s one after tho other Immediately
1 after the shooting, and after they
i were finally gotten to tho scene aet1
ed l[ke a lot of dummies. He could
get them to do nothing, he says; and
? the most Important witnesses were
? about to disappear, when ho api
pealed to Attorney ShannonhousiV,
t who began to get results as soon
e as he arrived.
Dr. Knowlton says the shooting
s was most wanton and Inexcusable.
1 Felder was thirty feet away from the
r coacn when flred upon, had never
been In the coach and wan walking
y away when flred upon. Mr. Felder,
- Dr. Knowlton says, had been walkf
Ing up and down the cement floor
- under the shed between the fruit
- stand and the first track, waiting
a for train 29. He approached a
f couple of express coaches which
a were coming to Columbia when No.
29 arrived and asked a colored man
k in one if it would be allowable to
n come into the coa'li and keep warm
c till the train arrived,
y Mr. Felder says the colored man
h told him that this would be against
?- the rules and he went away. Just
o before betng shot he had turned
>f about to watch some antics the ne
t groes were doing in the coach he
e had approached, when the messeng
y er came to tno dooj and ordered
3- him away. He saya he started away
>r when he was fired upon,
m The bullet entered the right aide
luat under tTio arm, probably punctured
the right lung and made Its
erlt at what la commonly known as
B the breast, bone. Dr. Knowlton could
>r not eRtlmate Mr. Felder's chances of
recovery before leaving Charlotf
that morning. At Mr. Felder'a re
P> nieat Dr. Knowlton remained with
or Mr. Felder until the next train
wwhlch arrived In Columbia at 10.3C

for it will bo his first Christmas out- f

tury. r
On tho day that the Itoard meets
to consider bis cane Warren will i;
have completed an even fifty years '
aa an Inmate of the State prison. He c
Ih believed to be the longest im- ?
prisoned life convict In the United I
States, and possibly in the world I
When the doors of the big prison >

had not commenced, railroad trans I
portation wuh in its Infancy and such t
common conveniences of the pre?- li
ent day as the telephone, the (dec- t
trie car, the automobile and tho
typewriter were unheard of, not to
mention the skyscraper buildings,
wireless telegraphy, flying machines, |
submarine boats and a hundred and
one other things with which the
present generation Is familiar.
Wife murder was the crime for
which Warren was sentenced to llf?>
Imprisonment. One day In July. (
1 859, he Invited his 18-year-old
wife to take a walk with him. and. (
coming; to a brook near their farm In 1
Wlllington, a Hrnall town in Tolland
county, in northeastern Gounectl H
cut, ho suggested that they tak? ,v
their shoes and stockings off and
f
t>athe their feet in the cool waters
of the brook. ^
She acquiesced, hut once near the 1
brook. Warren seized her and held
her head under the foot or more
of water until life was extinct. Just
what was the motive that actuated
the man to commit the deliberate, r
cold-blooded and apparently unpro- *
vokod crime on his wife, none knows, ^
and Warren himself has never talked
of the crime, since he confessed
and pleaded guilty at the time of his
arrest.. ^
Warren's plea of guilty and his '
attorney's earnest plea for a second
degree sentence saved his life and r
ho was sentenced .to prison for life '
on the day on which a notuble meet- 1
Ing was held at Hartford of famous ^
Connecticut patriots, under a call
vci nave mc union. " "i no war Tool J
ing wa? Just then beginning to become
a factor In nationul politics,
but Warren was taken to Wethers '
field before the war commenced, and, !
what has happened In the fifty years
that have elapaed since that time, he '
knowa of only Indirectly and from
what he haa been permitted to read. 1
It Rpeaka well for the method?
employed at the State prison that
the fifty-year Inmate shows little evidence
of falling powers, either men
tal or physical. Though 71, he
looks more like n man of 4 5 or 50
years. lie Is alert mentally and
takes an active Interest In nil that
goea on about him. In recent years
he haa been allowed considerable
freedom in the Institution, though
never permitted to leave the prison
grounds.
If the aged lifer is released
through the action of the board of
pardons next week he will be well
taken care of during his remaining
years by his two younger brothers
and other members of his family,
all people of excellent standing. It
Is understood that the application
for a pardon has been indorsed by
many peorsons of prominence who
have Interested themselves in his
case. *

Richmond and Atlanta train, due
In Greensboro at S: 4 0 a. in., was
vreeked Wednesday at 0:32 at Reedy
Fork trestle, ten miles north of
Greensboro, and at 0 o'clock Wodnesday
evening eleven dead bodies tvad
been removed from tno wroc*
Fourteen are reported dead au?t
twenty-five injured nro being c,u?ed
for nt St. Loo m hot-pita).
Owing to the character of t*"*
wreck much time was required t*> t
remove the dead and in lured fror>
the debris and, it was 8:3 0 befor*
tiiih work was well underway. Tb?
injured were carried to (Jreensboro
as rapidly as they could bo extrl
cated from the wreck and p! m >d
in St. Leo's hospital.
The derailment of the train vat
caused by a broken rail, about two
hundred feet from the trestle that
spans the small stream. The train
was composed of two baggage,
press and mail cars, three day
conches and two Pullmans. The engine
and baggage, mail and express
cars passed over lit safety, vblls
the day coaches and Pullman wer**
thrown from th? trestle Into the
creek and along the banks nom-a
twenty to thirty feet below.
At the point where the first coaeh
left the track, the right hand rail
being broken, about eighteen inches
from a joint, the rail was broken
into fragments for several feet, and
Lorn entirely from the erosBtiea. Th i
truck wheels ran on the ties until
near the trestle, when the outsld**
wheels went over, allowing the
hrake beams and axles to fall oi>
the guard rail of the bridge. As
the last conch was about on the tro*
tie, the five coaches toppled over,
broke loose from the mall and e*
press car and tumbled to the mu4
and water below.
The Norfolk Pullman fell In tU?
water while the Richmond filoeper
just in front, landed only partially
In the water. The most of the injured
and killed in the sleepers we ?*
in i ne turn in on <1 sleeper, which was
totally demolished. The Norfolk
sleeper was not so badly torn np.
but fell on Its side In the swo*id*
stream, submerging many of the passengers
in the water. The nondustor
In this coach, Capt. Johnson, was
vary slightly injured and none of th<
passengers In his car were hilled.
The Richmond Pullman is a mt^>
of wreckage and scattered over tkvr
wet and muddy bank of the stream,
part of it being buried in the mu-rl.
At 11 o'clock parts of two bodies
were visible from the edge of this
mass of wreckage and It is not now
known how many more are under
It. Railroad men, who were working
hard to rescue the unfortunate
victims and to recover the bodiss
of the dead, are practically certain
that a removal of the debris would
reveal more de.ia bodies. The iwj
day coaches in front of the Pullmans
were also complete wrecks, being
