Special to The State. . Beaufort, May 31.?Geo. Thomas, whe criminally assaulted Mrs. Doubleby near Ilardeeville, East er Sunday, was tried today, con victed and sentenced to be hanged. Mrs. Doubleby, upon whom the assault was made, wph the first witness. She testified under great stress of feeling, but clearly and emphatically. She identified the negro absolutely, ller father, who is a sturdy and honest countryman, wept when he told of his daughter's misfortune, and other witnesses testified about the capture and the identification of the negro Thnmoo W. J. Whipper, the negro attorney, who defended Thomas, conducted the defense in a very proper and considerate manner. His cross examination of Mrs. Doubleby, while it brought out all the facts possible for his client, was tactful and unobjectionable. The defense put up no testimony. Whipper, who is noted for his eloquence, started his address to the jury by stating that he would as soon think of turning loose a Bengal tiger or a Numidian lion upon a community as a man guilty of the crime of which Thomas stood accused. He rested t lift ilpfotitin nil tlia funl f o f # Backaches of yeomen aro wearying beyond des orlptlon and they indloato root trouble somewhere.

Boston, May 31.?The Boer envoys were given a warm recep tion at the State house this afternoon. They called on Governor Crane and after paying their respects to him were escorted to the house. The guests addressed the house briefly. The envoys did not seem very much depressed by the news from Johannesburg and Pretoria. Chairman Fischer pointed out "that the English forces have not captured a singlh piece of artillery or any considerable muni tions of war from us since our meu have been effecting their masterly retreat. Our guns, supplies, etc.," he added, "have been taken along with our troops, and they will yet be used effectually, if 1 am not greatly mistaken.

Mr. F ischer added the state ment that President Kruger would not surender while there was a bullock cart and 10 oxen in the Transvaal to transport him from place to place. Mr. Wessels said that if Presi dent Kruger had been coins: to surrender he would have remained in the city, while the Boers would not have carried awav their guns and ammunition if they had intended to capitulate. Roberts, he said, may yet run into a nice trap. Situation in China Continues Serious. Tien Tain, May 30.?The rescue party of Frenchmen and (Jermans returned from Chang 11 -dn Tien this afternoon. They confirm .'he report that the besieged Belgians are now safe at IVkin. They found several thousand "boxers" about the ruins of In Kow-Ohiao and ('hang Hsin Tien stations. The bridges have been damaged and the rolling stock destroyed. At both places the damage done is considerably greater than at Fang Tai. The members of the rescue nartv saw several bodies of Chinese teaaing up the sleep era and in one case a mandarin was looking on. They further re port that the missionaries and others escaped from l\u> Ting Fu in boats. The imperial railway directory is endeavoring to fasten the blame for the damage at Fang Tai on the foreign employes principally the British, whom, they say, should not have left their posts. The foreigners, however, did not leave until thny saw In Kow China station, five miles away, in Haines and an attack had actually been made on an engine from Thomas had not been fully ideti tilled. In his charge Judge Gary was brief but forcible. The jury was out just so long as it was neces sary to write the verdict of guilty. Thomas was immediately sentenced to bo hanged on the 20th of June. lie took the sentence indifferently, and throughout the trial showed no interest whatever. Before passing the sentence ot death, Judge Gage complimented the citizens of the county upon the law abiding qualities display ed in having so orderly a trial in such a case. There was no excitement or disturbance of any sort. Clark Holds His Place.

The following extract from ai exchange fits our case so nice); that we reprint it, and hope tha some subscribers will make i peisonal application "of the mor al it is designed to convey.". There was once a farmer, whi had 1,800 bushels of wheat, whicl ho sold not to a single grain mer chant, but to 1,800 different per sons, a bushel to each. A few o them paid him cash, but by fa the greater portiou of thern sau it was uot convenient then, bu would pay later. A few month passed and the man's bank ac count ran low. "How's this," h said, "my 1.80W bushels of whea should have kept me in allluenc until another crop is raised, bu i have parted with the gram urn have instead only a vast uumbe of accounts, so small and scatter ed that 1 cannot get around am collect them fast enough to pa expenses." So he posted up public notice asking all those wh owed him to pay quickly, but fe^ came. The rest said. "Mine i only a small matter, and I wil go an<l pay it one of these days,' forgetting that though each ac c unt was small, they meant large sutn to the man. Thing went on thus. The man got t feeling so hadlv that lie fell ou of bed and awoke, and runnin to his granary found the 1,80 bushels of wheat still there. H ha l only been dreaming; he ha not sold his wheat at all. Moral : The next day the ma went to the publisher of his pape and said : "Here, sir, is the pa for your paper, and when ne> year's subscription is due you ca depend on me to pay prompth 1 s?ood in the position of an ed tor last night, and 1 know how i feels to have one's honestly earr ed money all over the country i small amounts."
