Thomas Convicted?Sentenced
to liang.
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

Boer Envoys Speak.
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.
"The fact that President Kruger
has retreated to Watervalboven
and that this is declared

shows that our neonle are still

determined to win their indepeu
dence. Our capital is where our
president chooses to make it.
uThe fact tnat Lord Roberts
annexed the Orange Free State
the other day means nothing
The United States could annex
Canada by proclamation hui>
something more effective would
have to follow to make it a fact.
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.
Washington, May 31,?The
Senate committee 011 privileges
and elections has reached an
agreement with the friends of
Senator Clark, of Montana, to
allow the Senator's case to rest
where it is with the understanding
that no further steps shall
he taken to have either Mr.
Clark's or Mr. Maginnis's credentials
referred to the committee
and that 110 furtner action
shall he taken 011 the resolution
of the committee concerning
Serator Clark's original election.

An Honest Dreamer.
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."
