UeralliiiR Thrilling Scenes of '70,
When South Carolina Was Redeemed
Addresses Survivors of
Famous legislative Body.
Featuring a day devoted to memories
of the past, the Reunion of the
#, . survivors of the famous Wallace
'fclouse, in Barnwell Thursday, was an
event notable because ol its uuique
?ees and. historical significance. It is
the first Reunion ot men who com
posed-a most radical and determined
tJOdy. ' In -the course of history there
were few such law-making bodies; in
' fhct, ,there have-seldom been such exigencies
that necessitate such assom
, 01 ages. ,
Tho Wallace House, convened No.vemJDer
28, 187 0, in the old Carolina
.Han, at-Columbia, with Wm. 11. Wallace,
of Unjon, as Speaker, was for
_ tj)e purpose of redeeming South Carolina
from Republican carpetbag and
negro rule. Thursday seven of thp
twelve survivors of that body met in
'Reunion in old Barnwell, rich in his tory
and tradition. Jt was befitting;
it was a happy thought of the Barnwell.
Fair Association, of which the
* Hpn. Harry D. Calhoun is the mov.
Ing spirit. .
. Of the events of th? day, which
included a parade of Confederate
Voterane, an elegant address to them
by U. C. V. Commander B. H. Teague,
of Aiken; a barbecue, horse races, a
baby show and other things, was the
eloquent speech of former Governor
John C. Sheppard, of Edgefield. Time
baa* dealt very kindly "with Oovernor
. Shenpard, as his comrades to-day affectionately
called him. He is not an
?Id man,, despite hla 6 2 years. These
Jxo carries well and there remains
much of the fiery eloquence of other
;;d?ys. ,On the trains almost two days
.in a hiiTried journey from St. Louis
he came Thursday .to be with his
.comrades, veterans in millitant legislation.
It was his first visit to Barnwelt
since 18?2, when he and Capt. B.
.R, Tillman spoke to a tremendous
Crowd at Blackville, then came on
there, and from there went to Allendale.
Gathered' there were former Governor
fifieph'ard, Major John VV.
Holmes, of Barnwell; Majcn1 J. W.
Oraiy, of Greenville; Capt. J. B. Humbert,
of Laurens; John G. Gulngnard,
of. Lexington, then of Aiken; M. A.
Rountree, of Barnwell, and Claude
8. Sawyer of Aiken. It was an inspiring
scene'when, *n tTie course of
hi a, address, Governor Sheppard ln?
fcroduced singly his six comrados, and
they were greeted with outbursts of
a.pplause by the large crowd gathered
about the Court House.
Following the formal exercises on
ihe pu'blit square was an Informal res
. nSeptlon at what Is now Known as the
Brovtfn House, now owned by Mrs.
. "Lena Davies, of that city. It Is of interest
to note that this house was the
headquarters of Gen. Kitpatrlck, of
Sherman's army. On the mantel
board in the reception room are tne
heel prints of the "Yankee scounTfrel,"
mute' evidence to-day of luxaVlating
comforts to which he
treated himself. This little recep
vtion, informal and not* scheduled,
;\waa the treat of the day, although the
reception Thursday night was marked
unbounded hospitality,, and the afternoon'.consumed
with unabated attention
to the. dist inguished guests.
At the reception Thursday morn "ing
good cheer prevailed. It was a
happy gathering, an'd those who have
mhde history in South Carolina revelled
in the glories of backward
glances through the corridors of time,
down which they have come with
honor to themselves and their posterity.
Old stories were told, not the
threadbare anecdotes of the chronic
. *y.arn spinner, hut tales of real occurences.
Much, love and humor was
tdded to the oocaslon by the presence
of Col. Alfred Aid rich, an honpred
son of Rarnwell. To his distinguished
father, Judge A. P. AMrich,
Governor Sheppard Thursday paid a
fnagnlflcent tribute. A .toast was
drunk Thursday morning, proposed
by Governor Sh^ppard, "Mere's to
. tfcrt world: we came In It all naked
and bare, we go through It In toil
and care,, wo go out of It, no one ever
knowns where, but a thoroughbred
' fte're la a thoroughbred there." To
this sentiment each survivor and
each guest responded with a will.
' The absent ones were: Cavt. Chas.
JPetty, of Spartanburg; Wm. Hood, of
CBar.tow, Fla.; J., Thomas Austin, of
JTldew.ell, Ga.; John W. Wofford, of
Hendersonville, N. C., nnd John B.
Erwin, of Washington, D. G. Letters
from each of tho last named wero
read and to the absent ones a silent
tOast was drunk. '
Seen on the street and participating1
in the parade was a negro, Joe
A. Simon, pure Democrat and "Red
Shi rter." the old fellow now quite an
aged man. Ho rode In the great
Hampton parade. Thursday he rode
in an old ox cart of '7(>, was dressed
fri the flaming red insignia of determination
that characterized *7 6.
"Old Joe" was the property of Dr. J.
J. O'Bannon, father of Harry O'Uanj
non, Esq., now of Barnwell.

WRONGLY SENT TO JAIL
WOMAN TO Si'R BTATK FOR UN'jt'ST
INCARCERATION.
After. Ifelnfc In Jail Twenty-Three
VearH Hlie Would Now Clear net
Name of the Supposed (Yime.
Contending that the half-brother
>f her husband, for whose murder
lie served twenty-tnree years in
tate prison made a deathbed confession
that he was the slayer, Mrs.
Charlotte Epps, now more than sixty
ears old. is preparing to sue Indiana
or financial reparation.
Since Mrs. Epps was paroled six
/ears ago she has been living with
her daughter In Toledo. O. She appeared
at Huntington, [ml., recont'j,
old the story of the dying confession
nd engaged a lawyer.
Ifer story follows:
"1 married John Epps in 1SS2. Fits
.other had {ust died, and he and h'j>
alf-brother, Ed Mise, were alona.
'datives and friends who sought his
noney advised him not to marry m?.
\t all times Ed Mise, who recently
lied, was pleading with .tonn to deed
him all of his property, as he (Ed *
-aid he was older and had better
judgment. This John refused to do
"We had been married a few
months when one day John went to
rut corn. About 11 o'clock In the
oorning he came home, saying that
he was too sick to work, and immediately
went to bed. I cared for him
ih tenderly as any one could have
lone. He had the best physicians
.possible, but in a few days he died.
"I lived at the house for two
weeks after his death, until Sheriff
Bowman came after me with a warrant
for my arrest for poisoning my
husband. I went with him and was
put in the Huntington jail.
"In November my trial was held
and, although I maintained my innocence,
they found me guilty on criminal
evidence and sentenced me to
prison for life. No one suffered as I
did in those twenty-three years and
six long months in that place.
"Recently 1 heard positively that
Bd Mise had died and that he made
a complete confession before he died.
Acting on the impulse I immediately
"!?me to this city with a desire to
find recourse against my persecutors.
I have taken the advice of attorneys
and will at least fight to clear my
name."
Since the woman told her story it
has been impossible to find the man
it whose house the murdered man's
half-brother died.

l/??uiie Hunting Kvi(leuc?.
Convinced that she was a spy In
he employ of the Chlcugo Law and
>rder League, hired to Inform
gainst the band of White Slavers,
vhose victim she had' been, the potee
of Georgetown, Conn., sent to the
olice of New York, Chicago, lloston
ud other cities Tuesday night reuests
for the names of women missung
from their underworlds in an ateinpt
to solve the mystery of the
nuider of the young woman whose
ody, stabbed and mutilated, was (
ound wi ighted with a seventy-live
ound stone in a pond at Redding,
sear Georgetown Tuesday.
New clews unearthed make it apear
certain that the uni lentified wo- ,
ian was the companion of Genevi- ,
ve Cavalieri, who was taken to n
onely woods near Stratford, a few
veeks ago, by White Slave agents. ,
nd shot to death.
On the bank of the pond was found
i night gown perforated at the left
shou-lder, as with a knife; and stained
it the bottom. The victim had been
stabbed under the left arm, and she
wore the gown at the time she was
slain. The immediate -cause of death
was a stab wound in the left temple.
The initials, "G. C." found on a
bed spread, wound around the body,
irdicate that she was a companion (
of the Cavalieri girl, murdered at
Stratford, because in the latter's ef- (
lects were found many articles bearing
the same initials. The girl who
was known to have come to Stratford
from Chicago with the Cavalieri girl,
dropped out of sight soon after the
latter's murder. The police believed
she tried to secret herself nearby,
knowing that she wouia suuer a iute
like the other woman should the
White Slavers find her. Apparently 1
she was murdered In the room in
which she lived, and her body borne
to the pond, and the police think she
may have met death, possibly in New
York and her body carried where it
was found in an automobile.
Richard Apelquist, a weaver, living
on the Portland road, about three
hundred yards from the spot where
the body- was found, told of a mysterious
incident he saw Friday night,
which has convinced the' police that
the body was thrown into the lake at
that time, and that the crime was the
result of a well organized plo.
SOME FREAK BETS.
Pulled off in Maine on tlie Result of
the Presidential Election.
Henry J. Winterbottom, of Sidelinger's
Mills, Piscataquis County,
made a wager with (Jeorge W. Bythere
of Bowerbank, by the terms of
which, if Roosevelt did not carry the
state of Maine, he was to give Byther
a large red apple for every vote
of Wilson's plurality. Considering
that Wilson carried it by about 2,500
votes, and that eacn ana every
apple must be perfect in all respects
and full red, Winterbottom may have
to pick over his entire crop of apples
to get the required number of the
quality and description stipulated.
In Jackson, Eli Saunders, another
defeated Bull Mooser, must pay t*he
penalty of poor judgment by polishing
Ed Mosher's boots every morning
for six months, while Ed sits on
the postofflco steps. *
In Macwahoe, Ansel dilley, a
Bull Mooser, must pay for all the tobacco
Lester Ordway uses until next
Fourth of July, and In the meantime
abstain from tobacco himself;
and Ansel Is the champion chewer of
Aroostock County.

The wreck was caused by the failure
of the head brakeruan to clom
the switch to. a siding on which b
heavy freight train had been run tc
let the rapidly running passenger
more than an hour late, pass.
Carl Gross, the head brakeman, hat
assumed blame for the disaster. He

crews had completed the search for
the demolished passenger ears, tin
coroner's ollice gave out a corrected
list of the dead, as follows:

an hour late and at the time of the
head-on collision was running more
than forty miles an hour. The engineer
had been given a clear track
Both he and his fireman were found
dead in the cab of their engine.
All of the passengers found dead
were in the smoker* and day coach,
which were immediately behind the
steel reinforced mall car. Both passenger
cars were of wood and completely
demolished. The Injured In
many cases remained pinned under
heavy timbers until chopped out with
axes. The Injured were removed to
nearby residences and later taken to
the Deaconess Hospital there, where
several died. The bodies as fast as
irh f r tKo tl/ 1/ Q If,
IIIV/ WOIC UiUll(S"l- II Ulli lll^ m vvnubr
were conveyed to the morgue there to
await Identification. Passengers who
were not injured and those in Pullman
cars, continued their Journey.
Inspectors tor the State railway
commission were on the scene almosi
immediately and began un exhaustive
Investigation.
Albert Seed, of Louisville, one of
the passengers, told of his remarkable
escape. "1 was awake,*' said
Seed. "1 felt chilly and was putting
on my overeat when suddenly I heard
a crash and the next thing I knew I
was sitting beside the wrecked traino.
I could hear men and women crying
for help with the help of others 1
found un axe and chopped a hole in
the side of the car. Firemen soon
arrived and began carrying out the
bodies."
The sound of the collision aroused
the neighborhood. Many homes were
thrown open and the injured carried
in and given first aid treatment before
being sent to the hospltnl. Physicians
and the firemen in frvington
were hurriedly summoned and soon
all the public and private ambulances
In the city were taking away the dead
