Nov. 16.-Phillip Maultry, a German barber and flor? ist, formerly of S partan burg and afterwards of Atlanta, but for the past four years proprietor of the Wrights Hotel barber shop and pool room here committed suicide last night in pecu? liar circumstances. His body was found early this morning by his family lying stiff on bis left side in b<5d with a quarter inch cord twisted about his neck by means of a six inch stick, the end of which was stock under his undershirt down his back in such a way as to strangle him. His head was in his hand? between his knees, bis face was purple, and though his body was partially stiff it was still a bit warm. He was 55 years old and a man of family, but occupied a sepa? rate room from his wife, on account of suffering from asthma. His wife last saw bim last Dight at 10 o'clock, when he asked to be left to himself earlier than usual. The blanket was tucked in over his shoulders and there was no evidence of violence nor yet of a struggle. The family gave out that death resulted from natural cans? es and the physician signed a certif?? cate to the effect that death resulted from asphyxiation, although the law forbids misstatement of cause by severe penalty. He opined to the coroner this morning, however, that it was a clear case of suicide, and said that be had given asphyxiation as the cause merely to shade the family's feelings. The coroner said he would hold no inquest. Maultry had been more despondent than usual recently, on account of bis asthma, and the fact that writers cramp, with wbch he had been suffering for some time, was growing worse. Several of bisfbarbers left him recent? ly. And yet, so far as can be dis? covered he had never threatened to take his own life, and though he had lest much money in his florist business his finances, bis brother in law, who run his pool room, said this morning, were in particularly good shape now.

News Items of Interest Gathered by Our Columbia Correspon? dent. Columbia, Nov.- 16.-Application will be made in a few days for a char? ter for the South Carolina Industrial school association, whose object is to establish a reformatory in this State. The idea was projected at a meeting of women held for the purpose at Greenville. Efforts wil be made to organize county associations through? out the State, and this work of or? ganization will go forward at once. The mission of the county associations will be to urge the importance and ex plot the advantage of such an institu? tion and the matter will be taken up with the next legislature. The Green? ville association elected Mrs. M. F. Ansel president, Mrs. W. J. Thack ston secretary and Mrs. William Wil? kins treasurer. The Spartanburg City Council bas refused the Salvation Army workers permission to preach on the streets on the ground that such preaching is a nuisance. Police Officer Dawsen has been in dieted in Charleston for aggravated assault and battery- for striking M. Fabian, an election worker at the polls in Charleston last August. Fabian Was clubbed severely in an al tercation with the officer. Mr. J. A. Barber, a farmer owing a saw mill near Kock Hill, telegraphs the goveror that he has captured Sam Brown, the negro wanted in Colleton for the murder of Mr Allen P. Heathington near Meggetts. Barber was referred to Sheriff Owens of Col? leton. Mr. Barber from the tone of bis" telegam seems confident that he bas captured the right mau, although his telegram does say: '*Send man to identify him." District Attorney John G. Capers, the national republican committeeman for this States, intimates that there will be few changes in the jobs in this State as a result of the recent elec? tion. It is understood that those who nave been opposing Capers and hip as? sociates will lose out. This means that such men as Postmaster Richard? son at Greenville, Postmaster Harris at Charleston and Postmaster Ensor at Columbia and those ia charge of the collector's office here will be re? tained, while the Tolberts, Bob Smalls and others will he dropped. The Clemson college trustees held a long and important meeting here yes? terday, at which the matter of prose? cuting a number of fertilizer compan? ies of the State for violation of the new law against imperfect fertilizers was brought up. Nine representatives of companies against whom prosecu? tions haye been entered appeared be? fore the board to ask that in view of the fact as they pleaded that most of the violations had been mere technical violations that these cases be not pro ssed. The board ref o sed to do this and also declined to stop indictments which are about to be made against other companies. The board however,, agreed to continue ali cases until a special committee appointed yesterday to ask the next legislature to more clearly define the now law reports. The board authorized the appoint? ment of a number of additional in? spectors and other chemists will be employed to keep up with the samples the inspectors send in so that tlie far? mer might have a little better chance of getting what he pays for. Columbia, Nov. 17.-Governor Hey? ward has been informed that W. L. Henderson, a white man wanted in Saluda for the m-arder on the 10th of Oct. of W M. Morse, is not in the custody of Sherill Rhoden of that county, although Maj. R. L. Ander? son to whom the governor paid a re? ward of S1C0 for the capture of Hen? derson presented the sheriff's receipt for Henderson's person under the sheriff's official seal. Henderson and another white man named Alfred Free and a negro are accused of the mur? der, which was a particularly atro? cious one committed at night while Morse was returning home with his ' son-in-law Mike DeLoach from Edge field. Henderson's niece married -Morse's son and their separation caus? ed a family feud into which 'lender son was drawn. Henderson figured in ' the first murder case in the history of ? the ccunty. He toegther with his ; father and his brother were tried but ; acquitted of the murder of John Bc/.- '. hardt. :. State Superintendent of Education- ; < Martin directs attention to the man- j ; dato ry nature of the act providing for j the observance of "Arbor Day.'* The . act provides: "The tree schools of ! ' this State shah observe the third Fri- i day in November of each jear as arbor i day, and on that day the school offi- j i cers and teachers shall conduct such j 1 exercises and engage in the planting ! of such shrubs, plants and trees as [ i will impress on the minds of the pu- I piis the proper value and appreciation < to be placed ou flowers, ornamental f shrubbery and shade trees.' 1 In ?-pite of the government expert's report that the capitol dome is safe, ( in contradiction to Engineer Wilson's , report that it is not safely supported, t the State house commission in its . coming report to the legislature will ; likely fully support its engineer Mr. j Wilson, and report the dome unsafe. , An appropriation will likely be asked , fer to put the same in safe condition. ] The new heating plant has been j about completed, and in most ot the rooms the beat bas been turned on. ] The commif-sion has notified the con- i tactors that their work must be com pleted by the first of the year.

There willbe a banquet at the Colum? bia hotel on the night of the 2d. The railroads have granted reduced rate?. Columbia, Nov. 18.-The first batch of foreigners to be brought to this sec? tion to work in the cotton mills have arrived at Greenville, thirteen Poles and Germans with their families. The immigrants were brought in by the land and industrial department of the Southern railway. Commissioner of Immigration Watson is trying to lo? cate all of his imports on the farms of the State. He located two Scotch? men on Anderson farms this week. It is a significant fact that on the day the 13 German families arrived in Greenville, 48 farmers came in from Cherokee to work in the Greenville mills. A fight has been on the new department of immigration in several parts of the State on the ground that foreigners would be brouheght re to bake the places of native help in the mills, but this sentiment appears to have died ont after interviews were published from some of the leading cotton mill presidents to the effect that it was not their intention or desire to import labor, that the home product ivas good enough and plentiful enough to suit them. Reliable information comes from Saluda that W. L. Henderson wanted for murder is in jail after all, in spite Df tbe report to the governor by the Saluda Sheriff that Henderson was not in his possession, although Maj. L. S. Anderson presented the sheriff's offi? cial receipt for the prisoner on which the governor acted in awarding An? derson the S100 offered for Henderson's capture. The information that now comes from Saluda is to the effect that Henderson was too badly wound? ed at the time of the fight to attempt to escape and has all along been under the surveillance of Sheriff Rhoden. He was carried to a relative's in Greenwood county and afterwards Maj. Anderson started out with him For Saluda, but he became so ill on the way that he was turned over to a relative on the way, a Mr. Davis, where he has been guarded by Sheriff Rhoden. The Saluda Standard also bears out this general statement, and idds: "It bas been reported that the negro Will Culbreatb, who is wanted in the same case, was captured several days ago in Prosperity, by two promi? nent Saluda county citizens. If so where is he? If he was turned loose because the $50 reward was with? drawn, does-that mean that criminals ire to be apprehended only on account Df rewards? Former Cashier S. P. Harvey of the Coast Line road at Charleston, for 18 fears an employe of the road, bas been indicted in the sessions court for defalcations amounting to 835,000. Harvey is well known and his arrest last summer caused a big. sensation in Charleston. Miss E. H. Botume, who had been angaeed in educational work at Bean fort since 18G4, is dead at her old home near Boston, aged SI years. In the York county court this week a negro was given 18 months for steal? ing chickens. He had broken into a hen house. C. B. Creamer, a Piedmont farmer, and George W. Blackwell, a cotton mill operative at Maple, in Marion county, were killed in railroad acci? dents. Creamer was driving a loaded wagon across the Southern's tracks: Blackwell was asleep on the Coast. Line?s tracks. The election reta ms in Georgetown county show the overwhelming defeat of H. S. Harrell, the colored coroner. He is the last of Georgetown's negro office holders under the local govern? ment to lose his place. In spite of the recent petition sent into the Governor from 112 Oconee citizens asking him to resign because of his commutation of ilovt Hayes" sentence Governor ran only 27 vote be? hind the ticket in that county, accord? ing to the retnrn, which have just j come in. Columbia. Nov. 19.- A signed state ment has been received from Sheriff j Rhoden of Saluda in reference to the W. L. Henderson affair in which the sheriff says that he signed the receipt | for thc person of Henderson on which ? the governor afterward paid the rc- j ward of S10?) as thc result of misrepre- J mentations made by Mr. N. G. Evans of the bar. He says be did not look ! it the paper when he signed it but re? lied on Mr. Evans' statement when Mr. Evans presented the paper to him j that it was a paper in an application for bail for Henderson. The sheriff I adds that there was never any use of j issuing a reward for Hender?n as the '. latter had never attempted to escape. The sheriff says that Hendersou is now in jail, but reliable information ias reached Colombia that he i?: not ?ven now in the custody of the Saluda ', merif?. The governor is investigating ;he matter. j Hattie, Anna and irene Henton, ' children of a Charleston Con fed ra tc ; ' veteran, have recently had a pathetic : ' .hapter addt-d to tlnir already sad but I .hort career. On reaching Charleston ifter being deserted by their father it Savannah where they were all in- ! nae? of the St. Joseph Hospital, the ivaifs will become charges of the Episcopal home on James Island. The j "ather is >aid to have gone to Florida. The fight for the formation of rhe ( lesv county of Calhoun oit of parts of i Bdgefield, Abbeville and Tire -wood , aunties over on the Georgia i n* bas i >een renewed with vigor in ?be hope < }f getting the new county tully organ- I zen in time for it to he represented , in the next legislature. Numerous pa- ; Hers in the ease have reached the office 1 jf the governor, who will decide as j io the ordering of au electiou when j ;he other side, has been heard from. I'he advocates of the new county as .f rt i hit the objection? which the 5overnor 6cstaincd last year against 1 Calhoun that Greenwood would be left shy of her minimum of 500 square miles has been entirely removed. Thomas King shot Victor B. Che? shire yesrerday while th9 latter was standing leaning against a pest on the public square^ The bullet passed through the cheeks. Cheshire turned and drew his revolver but did not fire. The attack is claimed to be the result of an insult Cheshire offered King's mother several days ago. The men are leading farmers. Mr. L. B. Plumer of the New York and New Jersey firm of Plumer and Company representing clients desiring to establish a number of milk mills in this State if the industry can be de? veloped to the extent claimed by Miss Henrietta Aiken Kelley, a Charlesto lady now connected with the depart ment of agriculture. Mr. Plumer is seeking a location for an experimental mill, which is to cost about $50,000. His concern also desires to establish a number of silk farms throughout the State, being encouraged to do so by the succsssfnl experiments which have been made along this line at Hamburg and Bishopville. Mr. Plum? er is in Chester this morning in con? sultation with Miss Kelley, who is there to establish a silk worm farm for a Charleston friend. He will go to Anderson, Spartanburg, Rock Hill, Spartanburg before returning to Co? lumbia, and will go from here to Charleston. Great interest is being manifested throughout the State in Sumter's Fall Festival and it is likely that the com? petitive events, the foot ball game be? tween Carolina and the Washington and Lee team, and the auto races on Thanksigving will draw big crowds fren? various setions. Many will go from Columbia. BBEflf BRITAIN BEENS INDEPEKGENT INQUIRY. Surgeon of the North Sea Hospit? al Ship Alpha Makes an Import? ant Statement. Hull, Eng., Nov. 15.-The inquiry which Great Britain conducts on her own behalf into the North sea inci? dent opened today, Vice Admiral Bridge and Butler Aspinall, an admi? ralty court lawyer, whose report will forra the basis of the British case be? fore the international commission at Paris, conducted the inquiry. Dr. Herbert Woodhouse represented the Russian embassy. The correspondent of the Associated Press learned that the board of trade solicitors who have been preparing the [ case have found no evidence to suggest the presence cf torpedo boats among the fishing fleet. The evidence of the witnesses was in substance that the trawlers took the Russians ?or British warships at man? oeuvres. When the firing began the trawlers ran. The skipper of the trawler Keith in reply to questions declared that there were no Japanese present and that no Japanese agents made any suggestion to him whatever. It would have been impossible for the trawlers, he added, to screen a torpe? do boat. A surgeon of the North sea hospital ship Alpha made the rather important statement that all the Alpha's lights were extinguished soon after the fire commenced. Both Admiral Bridge and Mr. Aspinall, who are conducting the in? quiry on the most impartial lines, in? dicated by questions that the trawler which separated from the fishing fleet might possibly have been taken for a torpedo boat by the Russians. A suggestion by the Russian consol that the shelling was due to the traw? lers failing to stop when blank shots were fired and the fact that the lights were "::tingoished on at least one rrawler is considered here to in some degree .explain though not to excuse the attack by the Russians. Dr. Woodhouse holds a merely watching brief. Neither he nor the Russian consul here are in possession of any evidence tending to prove that Japanese topedo boats were in the neighborhood of Dogger bank or that Japanese exercised any influence upon the fishing fleet. - ?
