In Charleston to Surprise <?r ?Ills FrlomH' In Thai * ity?No One There Knew ?>r it. Chnrleeton, March s. -Rudolph Bauens, with aereral allaeea hi hack in Charleston, having tu en pardoned by Gov. BWaat alter a service of about two-thirds of hie aentenoc in t?o penitentiary, havtnn been con rtoted at Walhalla for complicity in the blowing and robbery of the safe al tht Newry mllbj in Oeonec county eereml years ago. Tl\r?ugh his attorneys, Habens made a hard fight to keep out of the penitentiary but It was a futile con? test and he was placed behind the bars. The pardon of the governor enables Rabens to return to Charles? ton much sooner than he had hoped to do. Habens was charged with being the ' fem e" for the gangs of yeggmen who operated in South Carolina some years ago, blowing safes in postofllces and OOtton mills. In several Instances better results were gotten with the State than the federal courts and the I'nlted .States authorities gave way t?? the state in the' trial of Rabens and | hi< pals on the charge of robbing the Newry cotton mills. It was not known here that any steps were tinder way for the pardon of Habens and his return to Charles? ton without any notice of his case was a surprise. His former friends and companions could scarcely believe that It was Rubens when he show? ed himself a few days ago for the first time about his establishment on upper King Street. No announcement as to the pardon of Rabens was made by Gov. Blease. Gov. Ansel refused a pardon to Ha? bens. ito\i> imckovi:mi:m BONDS soli). l moo Savings Hank of Cincinnati Get s10,000 Hoad Inipi oNcmcnt BoSSdS.

CATTLE SHIPPED TO BALTIMORE, Lean Kind Conic Hero in November nnd I ai Cattle Shipped <>m in March. Prom Tin- Dally Item, March There we ??? about four hundred fat cattle sniped from this city today by the 1?. B. Martin Company of Phll adephia, for Immediate slaughter at the abattoirs of this company In Phil? adelphia and Baltimore, these being the saun- cattle ghlch were shipped In In re during last November and the first of December t.? be fattened for northern markets. This cattle trad - has been going on here for some time, and is steadily in? creasing in importance. During the fall and early winter the cattle are shipped here from Tennessee and North Carolina and are fattened on cotton seed hulls and meal during the winter month's. About the first of spring they are slick and fat, the cot? ton seed products making them shed vjff their old hair and put them in good condition, they are ready for the northern market. Up to recently most of the cattle were either sold to slaughter houses in the State or shipped to Richmond. This year, however, they were bought by Mr. G. W, Morris, of the Philadelphia and Baltimore firm of D. li. Martin Company, and Shipped to those two cities. Most of the cattle w< re bought from Mr. D. D. Jennings and Mr. B, H. Moses, although there were a few others from whom cattle were pur? chased in small numbers. Today there were eight car loads of .he animals shipped, there being fron, twenty-five to fifty anlmall In each car, accord? ing to the slse of the car and the animals. Xo one who saw the fat, slick looking cattle in the cattle yard before they were put In th cars this morning would have taken thrun for the poor mangy looking animals which were shipped in here last fall. Then* w? re about four hunrded head of cattle, all of them being steers. I The trip from here to Baltimore I will take about sixty hours and twice on the trip the cars will be unloaded so that the animals can be watered and fed, once at-Alexandria and once at Washington. The cars were all packed tight with the bodies of the cattle and it is probable that the brutes will have anything but a ' --'-*>t tHri f>f It hot nerhans the j trip will be p] aaanter I >r them tl in I fh< end th t they will meet Imme | dlatei) after tti? :i arrival >'n the two 1 northern cltiei RI.MRF.RT SALI, BIG SUCCESS.

John WVsthorry Arcstod at Pinc smod and Brought Here for Trial. Prom The Dai'., Item, March 9, John West berry, a negro barber and blind tiger, was captured at Pine wood yesterday and brought back here and lodged in the county jail to be tried for the unlawful sab' of whiskey and posalbly other misde? meanors. It seems that after Westherry, who was arrested here and bound over to the higher court a year or so ago for selling whiskey, skipped his bond, and went over to Dee county where he got Into some more trou? ble. He was put on the chain gang there, but after serving for some time, he managed to escape and want from there to Orangeburg county, Trouble still pursued him, for last Saturday he was arrested on the double charge of selling whiskey and carrying a concealed weapon. He managed to get away, and yesterday the conduct? or on a train passing through here noticed him on the tra'n and tele? phoned to the sheriff that in- was on the train and he would have him ar? rested, if he wanted him. When the train reached Plnewood s m ?ssage bad been phoned tlu re from the sher? iff and Westherry was arrested and brought hack here and lodged In jail.

Rieplaster Office. From The Dally item, March 0. For some time Mr. John R. Sum- , ter, Clerk to the County Hoard, has been troubled by the falling of icah i of the plastering in the Supervisor's office, probably caused by the sink- j of the northeast corner of the , court house building. The trouble at last became so great that it was de? cided to scrape the ceiling of the of? fice and replaster it to Bee if that would stop the trouble. Today the masons got to work on the ceiling and in a short time they had scraped off the greater porti >n of the plastering, all of the outer coating being removed in the scrap? ing. As soon as the ta iling was scrap? ed the masons began replastering it. , and it is probable that it will b<s finished in the next day or two.
