CniCAao, Nov. 23.—James M. Chatu*
Ity, Jr., tho 21-year-oid sou of Ja:::e3
M. Charaloy, the defauLtiag treasurer
of the Presbyterian Board of Aid for
Colleges and Academies, disappeared
from his uncle’s house last Saturday
and is believed to hare committed sui
cide in Milwaukee. Lying in tho morgue
in Milwaukee is the body of a man who
answers the description of Churuley.
Hotel people found him dead in bed
with a bullet hole ia hi. temple, the
right hand clutching a revolver. Ho
had also taKeu a dose of poison.
Chagrin over the disgrace of his
father. James M. C barn ley, according
to his friends, drove to suicide James
M. Oharnley. Jr., who was found in his
room m the Hotel Pieister, Milwaukee,
\, .t.. u builc.i noio in .li* iieM.ii,. James
M. Oharnley, formerly president of the
Presbyterian board of aid for eolleees
and academies, disappeared last summer
■hurt some $00,000 of the tunas en
trusted to him. This weighed heavily
on the sou’s mind, and it is said that
for some time the young man had been
ill.
The sister and brother of young
Charuley, both of wnom are out of the
city, were notified at once of the second
disasser that had come to them. The
brother, Charles, is in New York, uud
the sister, Miss Constance, is at fannth
college.
This second chapter in the first sorrow
comes with crushing weight, as young
Charuley had assumed the place at tne
bead oi the family which ins lather had
•o recently left vacant.
During the ilavs when the story of
Mr. James M. Charuley’s shortage was
being exploited in the papers, young
Charuley had remained in this city and
borne the brunt ot tho crimination, no
toriety and disgrace. For months pre-
Tions to his father’s d snnpearance, it is
said, the impending disas er, whicu had
hang like Damocles’ sword, by a single
thread, like.y at any time to be broken.
Was anown to tne young man.

Burlington, Vt., Nov. 23.—Corporal
John F. Tholan, U. S. A., is the legatee
of $140,000 by the death of his uncle,
the late John F. Finch of Malvern, Pa.
Corporal Thoiau has been, sjuce June,

will get a brief furlough to establish
his identity, lie is 21 years old and of
athletic build, has good neaith and good
eense. He became a corporal only a
mouth ago.
The legacy ia partly in cash and partly
in choice real estate in the vicinity of
Philadelphia. Tne nucleus of the for
tune fell to the late Malvern capitalist
from an English relative, and good
management doubled it. Though of
Eugli.'h aim German ancestry, the cor
poral is American born.

Columbia, S. C., Nov. 19.—While
the wholo state is in a stir over tho
killing of J. H. Turner by btate Detec
tive Newbold, and about the fi^ht of
New bold, Governor Eilerbe has stepped
in and granted a inii parnoii to Liquor
Constables J. H. Bruce and J. A. May.
who kihed John T. Sims in the ••Darx
Corner” section of Spartanburg county,
on Dec. 16, 1893.
The constables wore pat ou trial in
Spartanburg comity in June la«r, amt
both of them wore convicted of man
slaughter, the sentence of the court be
ing two years in tiro state prison in each
case. Crawford, the other constable
who was present at the time of the kill
ing. was also charged with murder, hut
his case was mispressed by the solicitor.
After tiie conviction the attorneys
representing the constables at the ujai
gave notice of an appeal to the stale
supreme court, and pending that appeal
the two men were released on bond.
They have been out ever since. Tbs
clerk of tho supreme court has within
the last few days, it is understood, been
notified that the appeal has been aban
doned.
Sims was a moonshiner, and tho raid
in which lie was killed, was the last
upon which the constables ventured in
the Dark Corner section of that state.
It seems that the constables came m
end one of them was leaning over ami
smelling a jug when the victim an-

times in the fight, Sims got up and tried
to run across tho yard. Another of the
constables clinched him ami they strug

YorkVILLS, S. 0., Nov. 23 —The at
torneys of Mrs. Lota Williams are be
ginning to four that the lady will never
VNiliz i the full amount of the verdict ‘
she secured in the court of common j
Jiious for this county last spring against
M. R. Reese, for the murder of her hus
band, Charles T. William*, at Blacks- j
burg, on Feb. 0, 1893. '1 he verdict ren
dered in favor of Mrs. Williams was for
fti.oOO, but before the trial it seems the
property v as attached at the instance
of Hart & Hart and E. A. Trescott. who
defended Reese on the trial for his life
and also at tho instance of Mrs. Jennie
Roberts, a sister of Ret.so.
Counsel for Mrs. Williams sought to
enjoin the prosecution of their claims
ou the ground of collusion ami fraud.
Tho afiidai its in connection with the
in junction proceedings made some lively
reading on both sides and at one time
during the hearing it looked as if it was
abont to be a personal altercation. In
deed, hail if not been for the interven
tion of Judge Bennett and Sheriff Lo
gan, £u#h would have been the case.
The judge refused to enjoin tho prose
cution of the claims and in trials, in
winch there was no special effort to de
feat them, ail of the claims wore sus
tained.
At the time of the killing of Williams
the estate of Reese was estimated to
be worth between $15,000 ami $20,000.
Much of it has been disr-’puted since
that time, however, and after the col
lection of the jungmeurs just awarded,
it is not thought that there will be very
much left for Mrs. Williams.
