Beach in the Net.
Tbs dispensary ia? aod if? violation
ts io the United States C*>urt again
and all day long yesterday there were
interesting proceedings. Io fa*r, the
latest move caused some what of a sen?
sation, tod Br. Pope was the moving
attorney again. It TO hard to tell now
what move? tn the dispensary ?nd reg?
istration laws will develop any day
Every day there seems to be a new,
case. This time Commissioner Misson
and Constable Beach are in it. it was
surmised when Dr. Pope came down
here the day previous, bringing United
States commissioner Reid, of New
berry, along with bim, that he was
about to make another and a new
move, bat it wart not known from which
quarter he would proceed. He did not
leave anyone in doubt Wednesday morn?
ing as to what he nroposed doing.
It was about 9 30 o'clock when Com?
missioner Reid'? portly Unite ri States
deputy marshal walked into the State
dispensary and perilla? a warrant from
bis pocket, arrested State Liquor Com?
missioner Misson, demanded the deliv?
ery of certain seised goods, and weiut
ahead and arrested Constable George
Beach also. Milson told him to con?
sider the seized goods ia his possession
for the purpose r-f the case. He then
allowed Commissioner Milson to re?
main at large upon his word rb*f he
would appear at the United S?'a??s
court boase at the appointed hour to
stand hts preliminary examination
Beach he took along with him The
commissioner and the constable were
arrested on two separate though simi?
lar cases* each being charged with con?
spiracy to interf?re with the operation
of the interstate commerce law. It was
more along the line of the Debs case
than any legal proceeding that, has yet
developed io the dispensary troubles.
The first ease was brought by Dr
Pope for Mr? C. J. Beck, one of the
most widely k*>own citizens of Colombia.
Here is the affidavit he made before the
commissioner.

When the defendants had been
brought into court there was a large
audience present to hear what was to
traospire. It was agreed to take the
two cases op together, being exactly
similar. Mixsou and beach were rep?
resented by Assistant Attorney General
Townsend. The taking of testimony
j was then commenced.
THE EVIDENCE.
Mr. C. H. Mellichamp, the receiving
! and delivering clerk for the Southern
' Railway, testified that C. J. Beck re
! ceived a package of beer. It was
j seized by " Geo. W. Beach yesterday
j morning while it was in hts hands for
j delivery. Beach receipted for it aod
j left instructions for it to be delivered
j to the dispensary wagoo. This he did.
j The billing showed that the package
! was from Augusta. He had only the
! way bill manifest to go by. It wa9
? billed direct to "C. J. Beck, Colum
; bia, S C." It was marked one cask
i of "G. ale." The way bill came from
j the shipping point. He only saw the
copy, lie didu'c look *o see whether
the charge was from Augusta or not.
! The road ran to Augusta.
As to the Muller case, he testified
that he received on the previous day
the package addressed to Mr. Muller
I a cask of beer. Beach seized it. took
charge of it, receipted for it as a State
constable, and ordered that it be deliv?
ered to the dispensary wagou. This
: was done. The beer waa marked "XV.
j F. Martin." It was billed just as Mr.
1 Beck's cask, "G. ale." Mr. Muller
had received no other cask of this kio J
: so far as he knew. It was marked
"W. F. Martie'' and billed "W. F.
Muller." Such mistakes often occur?
red.

almost immediately, aud that fresh

.nd tumed themover t?Mr. M?Uichanip
The original way bills were from Au?
gusta.
Dr. Pope tben said he thought that,
the affidavit and testimony were suffi?
cient for the binding over of the parties
and asked that this be done
Commissioner Mixson in the fact of
the assurance of his attorney that the
property would be turned over, s*td
that he bad countermanded the order
and that he would turn over the beer.
COMPLAINANTS ON THE STAND.
Mr Beck wa3 placed ou the stand
after the recess He teati?ed aa to the
ordering of the beer. He >aid he had
not asked the commissioner to return
the liquor Assistant Attorney General
Townsend tried to make him answer a
question as to whether be had ever
hauled any contraband liquor, but Dr
Pope objected. The quent ton was not
answered, though Mr. Beck said he
was willing to do so.
Mr. Muller was then examined. He
ordered some beer from Augusta last i
Friday, from the Augusta Brewing j
Company. It arrived at tbe Southern
Railway depot on June 4th. The beer
was seized. He sent for it. The
wagoner brought word back that it was
seized. I went to see Mr. ;Mixsson I
told him that they had a barret of beer
of mine, boogbt for private use. My
wife was sick and ? wanted it for her to
take as a touio. Rs told me I'd have
to go before a trial justice and f-wear it
was for my own privare u^e He said
he didn't know whe.'ber be had it yet
or not I didu't get it There was
another party who had some of the beer
in the barrel.
Cross examination : He didn't hear
anybody say at the dispensary that it
wa? not iu the house. He told mc to
make an affidavit and swear that it
was for my own use. I couldn't swear
to that.
Mr. T. F. Baxter, deputy United
States marshal, testified that he served
the papers in the case of the United
States vs. F. M. Mixson, and be admit?
ted to me that he had both packages
in bis possession.
THK COURT'S DECISION.
Commissioner Reid then stated that
he would very much like to be excused
from passing upon these cases. He
said that he had. beard hundreds of
oasesv argued in his experience and be
had never yet been a ec used of showing
partiality in rendering, his decisions, j
These were very peculiar cases. The |
taws of South Carolina of recent years
had been very oppressive. This dis- j
peosery law bad been brought up be
fore Judge Simonton and he bad de
dared it unconstitutional, and that ??
citizen bad a right to have liquo. ;
brought into the State for his own use.
The dispensary authorities were main?
taining that- the borden of proof that a
mau bought the liquor fdr bi's own use
was upon the party, buying the liquor.
In his opinion the law did not con-1
t?mplate any euch thing. If was never
intended that a man would have to I
submit evidence that he bought the j
liquor for his own use This decision J
of Judge Simon too gave to every citi
zen the right to get ali the liquor be j
wanted for his personal use without in-1
terferettce from anybody. My opinion
18 that the people have rightly inter- j
.prated Judge Simontou's decision I
think that those parties are entitled to ;
their liquor without interference and I
shall bold that the defendants are in j
contempt of Judge Simon ton's order
of injunction and shall require them
to give bond for their appearance for
trial. I shall require also the order
of search and seizure to be carried out
and I will ask Commissioner Mixson
whether he will turn the property over j
according to his agreement with the
deputy this morning or whether I must
enforce the order.
Mr. Mixson said that he would do
whatever his attorney advised him to
do. Later, he announced that the prop- !
erty would be turned over to the United j
States deputy marshal as soon as be j
called for it.
THE BONDS FIX?D.
After a good deal of talking, Con- ;
stable Beach's bond was fixed at ?*250 ;
in each case and Commissioner Mixsou'e j
?500 in each case Coustable Beach
stating that he was a poor mao, be j
was allowed to give bond in "his owu |
recognizance" and go his way. Col I
Mixson was also allowed to give his
bond in this manner, although he j
stated that he could give a bond of a j
million dollars if necessary. The j
bonds are for the appearance of the j
men at the uext term of the District j
Court to be held in this city in Novem- !
ber.
In the afternoon, after the hearing
had been concluded, the deputy went j
to the State dispensary and the seized ;
packages were turned over to him. He ;
delivered them to their owners.
Dr Pope seemed to be thoroughly
satisfied with the result of the proceed- ;
ins?.
The Butchery of Clavijo.
Gen. Primo Rivera's Assail
ant Shot to Death.
MADKID, June 5.-Maj, Ciavijo, the
assailant of Capt. Gen. Primo Kivera,
was shot this morning At 2 o'clock
Clavijo was awakened hy rhe guard
and the sentence of th? ?ourt martial
aod the war minister's confirmation of
the finding "of the court, were read to
bim. The condemned man listened to j
the reading without showing any signs
of emotion. He complained, however,
that be bad not been allowed to get a
good night's sleep. At 5 o'clock he was
conducted to the prison chapel, where i
he attended mas* and made confes?
sion. He wa3 then informed that his
execution was fixed for 7 oVock on the
field of San bidro. A carriage awaited
him at the prison entrance, and as he
stepped inside the vehicle it was sur?
rounded by an infantry guard and the
march began.
On arriving at San Isidro, Clavijo
descended from the carriage with the
air of a man who came out for a pleas
nre drive. As he alighted he was sur
rounded by the priests of the Brother?
hood of Penance and Charity, whom he
saluted gravely. One of 'he priests
stepped forward and veiled the con?
demned man's f-yi*s wi h a nandercbief
and then withdrew, leaving Clavijo
standing alone awaiting the fatal mo?
ment. The splendid military bearing
of the condemned man aroused the
sympathy of all present, the officer in
command of the guard being notice?
ably affected, and there were traces of
deep emotion io his voice as be gave
the order to fire.
A* the order was given to fire, there
waa a roar of musketry and Clavijo
fell with three bullets in his bead, but
be was not yet dead. Seeing that be
moved, the order was given to fire an?
other shot, which took effect it* the
chin, and as there was still motion in
the body another shot was fired into
his heart. Clavijo being theo pro?
nounced dead, the troops marched past
the body and returned to their quar?
ters.
The large crowd which had assem?
bled in the square groaned with hor?
ror at seeing the soldiers fire three
times upon the unfortunate officer,
twice ioto his prostrate body.

j AUGUSTA, Jone 4.-A special fo the
Chronicle from Milled^eville, Ga , say?:
\ "There was a senaatiou to-day dorins:
j the commencement exercises of the
! Georgia Normal and industrial College,
? growing out of the conflict of the au
! tbority between the trustees and fac
? ulty. The case of one of the students
expelled for breach of discipline iuvoiv
I ins: the integrity of ber examination,
the faculty decided that she was not
entitled to a diploma. The trustees de
I cided otherwise, as previous to exauxi
I nation in question the young lady had
been found to be entitled to a certificate
! as a graauafe.
I After a full hearing of the case, tho
I trustees decided to reverse the action
j of the faculty and issued a diploma
I When the youug lady's name wan an
j nonnced among the graduates, Presi?
dent Chappell arose and protested on
behalf of the faculty against the action
of toe trustees. Governor Atkinson
held that the case had been investi?
gated fully and that the trustees had
derermined in accordance with the law
of the college tn issue the diploma and
to a?sutuf all responsibility for its ac?
tion There is no question as to the
authority of the uoard of trustees or as
to rh?' right of a studeut to appeal from
th? faculty to the board. When Gov?
ernor Atkinson announced that the
trustees would deliver the diploma, the
students, the faculty and the audience
were amazed. After President Chap- j
peil made his protect, Governor Atkin
sou stepped forward before the ap?
plause had died away, and with a
face white with rage and in a voice
? choked with anger,, Le turned to Pro?
fessor Chappell and ottered theae words
amid a death like silence: 'I have
known Professor Chappell a long time,
but I never thought he could be guilty
of an act unbecoming a gentleman
and so unchivalrous as persecuting a
defenceless girl.'
"He waited a moment to give bis
words effect and then be said further :
'The hoard of trustees were guided
j solely by justice in this affair and they
j have stood between a gross wrong and
the most absolute justice/ Again
there was silence. 'The teachers in this
institution,1 be said, 'cannot confer di?
plomas. Their terms eod with this
commencement and they have no right
to do so under the law.'
"Io the pause that endued, every
teacher on the stage and every student
present rose en masse and accompa?
nied by nearly the whole audience,
started to leave the room. The gover?
nor stood in amazement at such a spec?
tacle, a blush mantling his cheeks.
\ Gray-beaded men present never renaem
! bered such a spectacle of silent indig
! nation hurled at the ohief executive
Prof. Chappell stepped quietly forward
and in a few words called the audience
back, the Governor meanwhile uttering
some remarks, the purport of wbich was
not clearly understood.
"Theo Fleming BuBignou asked the
privilege of a word and stated that tbe
trustees merely wanted to do justice to
the young lady The benediction was
pronounced and the exercises were
over.
"But the most humiliating expe?
rience yet remained for Georgia's chief
executive. Here Governor Atkinson
has been the idol of tba college. The
students enthusiastically supported him
in their own way in bis race for Gover?
nor and when be was inaugurated,
they moved heaven and earth to get
permission to attend the exercises in a
body. But to-day, as the Governor
stepped from the stage, be was met by
*200 angry, tearful faces, and, ignoring
all rules of courtesy, the young maids
hissed him to the echo. The senior
class immediately held a session and
unanimously refused to receive their
diplomas from the board of trustees "

The Government Gets its
Gold.
A Woman Betrays Pickier, Who
Stole S80.000 in Gold Bais
From the Carson Mint.
CARSON, NEB. June 5,-The ?80,
000 io gold bars stolen from the Carson
mint was recovered yesterday in a most
unexpected way when the Government
officers dug up the treasure io the wood
shed of Wm. Pickier, an employee in
the melters' and refiners' department,
whe had not even been suspected.
Pickier was betrayed by a woman with
whom he bad been living, and whom
he bad abused. She came to the officers
on Monday night and told them that
she would disclose yesterday the hiding
plaee of the missing bullion. True to
her promise, she appeared and gave
minute directions for dtff^inc in one
corner of Pickler's wood shed. There
the bars of gold were unearthed just as
they had been stolen from the mint
This discovery bears out the case which
the Government experts had formulated
against the employees in this depart?
ment. If any one of the gang now
turns State's evidence tho whole truth
will come out.

The Cotton Prospect.
The Conditions Have Not
Been so Favorable as
Last Year.
NEW YORK, Jane 6.-Tire Chronicle
has. issued its aouual statement of cot
fou acreage, eland and condition. The
estimated d?cre?.se in acreage by States
is as follows : North ( karolina, 20 per
cent.; South Carolina, 10 per ceut ;
Georgia. 13 per cent.; Florida, 5 per
cent ; Alabama, ll per ceut ; Missis?
sippi. 10 per cent.; Louisiana, 14 per
cent.; Texap, ll per cent.; Arkansas,
12 per cent.; Tennessee, 9 per cent;
other States and Territories, 12J per
cent. The average decrease is 11.6
per cent.
The acreage is 17,767,663 against
20,410,247 acres last year. The smali
decrease in Florida is due rn larger
planting of sea island cotton. The crop
is unquestionably late. The weather
up tn May 2 was not favorable. It is
not certain whether permanent injury
has resulted or not. Probably serious
harm has resulted iu only limited
areas.
Cultivation has not been as thorough
as it was a year ago. There has
been very heavy decrease io the takiog
of commercial fertilizers, but of home
made fertilizer a slightly greater use t?
reported. The condition of the plant
was less satisfactory at tbe close of
the month than at the same date last
year. The States of less promise are
the Carolinas and Georgia, but the
plant is late almost everywhere and so
is farm work. The condition is not ne?
cessarily unpromising, but more de?
pends upon future development than
has been the case in other productive
year?.

at the capital last night before the
Cook county delegates left for home,
and the Chicago politiciaos only re?
mained behind to see them out of their
trouble. Other delegates aod visitors
from Chicago aod country towns were
robbed of money, watches, chaios. dia?
monds aod clothing Maoy are known
to have had valuable property stolen,
would Dot admit the thefts. Numerous
hats, coats and canes were taken" from
the hotel rooms. In many instances
the Democrats who were robbed had
their property returned, and they were
charitable enough to call the affair a de?
plorable joke.
An afreroooo paper accuses certain
Democrats of forming a conspiracy to
rob Republican aod "gold Democrats"
so as to pay the expenses of the trip.
