Sumter's police atom to have land? ed u rieh haul when they arrested Will llowell, cohued, for stealing and, after trial, plated him on the Kang for thirty days. Will gave the police much trouble before, they got the fuels on him and Inj (miused them many a sleepless night, but at last they got tie hook In his gaff and he was brought to land and placed high and dry, where he will cease his preyjng on the public for some time to come. The case is an interesting one. For sever 11 weeks petty robberies were committed at various places in the city. Chkkent., chicken feed, harness, t-Jothlng urd other articles were stol? en. Anally ending up with the depart? ure of a pair of trousers containing a valuable watch and more than twenty dollars in cash from the resi? dence of Mr. 11 It. Norrls on Wright street. The police seemed at their wita end for a time, daily they hunted ror clues and nightly they roamed the resident e BfCtlans of town hunting the thief, but he wua not to be found and the liltAg could not be obtained. J They nil their suspicion of at least one man, but they had no evidence. Finally they secured clues. Big f >ot prints wer? left by the thief at one plat ??? und then another. Several places these foot prints were found, but the thl?f had gone when they were discovered and in each instance be had taken awuy some articles of more i<| less vulue. Finally a search was made of the room the negro lived In and noth? ing was found. The arrival abtut that time gf bloodhounds from the State penitentiary and the trailing and arrest of another man, not sup? posed to be In any way connected with the. robberies, but who lived in the same house, caused the police to act. Will llowell was arrested and confined In jail and the other negro was released. The day after the ar? rest was made the long looked for evidence was discovered, a sack of chicken food which had been stolen the night before the arrent was lo? cated, where it had been sold by W^U Howell. llowell plead guilty and w*?nt to the gang for thirty dn>s. Hlnce he has >ecn there evidence ha.? been obtained against him in other cases. A bridle, saddle und a set of harness were recovered which had been sold by Unwell. The owners of the Cahiie and We" narness have been foufcd and Will will be tried for the, thefts of these articles, as soon a? bis present term expires. The chief feature of the arrest and sentence*ls. however, that it has stop? ped the depredations of thieves in the city*, probably because llowell was the*thlef Who did the stealing At the amv time his arrest would have th<?cffcct of causing any other thieves *B cease their operations for the tlme+ht Ing. ?I conm nucn ai*v.\nck. *> _____ Market If Injured by Strong Liver* f po.d Showing.

Biggs and Carinii ottI to Serve in ?lall and to Pa.v Tines Decrees Court. San Francisco, Sept. 17.?Two yearn in the fcdcrul penitentiary on O'Nell island, Washington, and a Dne of |J,? 000 is the sentence imposed on Maori I. DISCS, former State architect of Cal? ifornia, because of his flight to Heno with Marsha Wairington, a Sacra? mento girl. Eighteen months in the same p'iuon and a line of $1,500 was the penalty given his friend and com* panion, F. Drew Caminetti, hou of Anthony Caminetti, United States commissioner general of immigration, for a like offense. Caminetti eloped with Marsha Warrington's friend, Lola Xorris. The usual motions for a new trial and for arrest of judgment were de? nied. Judge Van Fleet granted, how? ever, a stay of excel, tion for ten days, during which the defendants will be out on bail fixed at $15,000 and $10, 000 respectively, while their counsel are perfecting an appeal to tho United States circuit court of appeals for a writ of reversible error, which, If grunted, would entu:l new trials. In designating tie prison where sentence should be executed, Judge Van Fleet of the United States district court first named San Quentln peni? tentiary, a State Institution. When objection was made to San Quentln wh**rc Dlggs and Caminetti would as? sociate with housebreakers, highway? men and pickpockets, he amended the sentence to read O'Nell Island, sub Ject to the concurrence of the attor ' ney general which he did not doubt 1 he should obtain. Robberies Stopped at Manning. Manning Times. The frequent robberies that occur ed in Manning recently has subsided for the present since the arrest of a young negro, who gave his name as George Itay. He was charged with entering the home of Mr. C. M. White in the night time, and stealing there? from a trunk containing* several ar? ticles of clothing and other articles. The entry was made through an open window and the trunk was stolen from the bedroom where Mr. While was sleeping. A pair of pants found in Hay's possession was identified as the property of Mr. White's son, Fur man. After hearing the evidence Magistrate Bradham decided the theft came within his Jurisdiction and sen? tenced Hay to the chain gang for :;0 days. We understand there are other charges against Hay which will be handled when he finishes his pres? ent sentence, and In the meantime the authorities are on the alert to put down lawlessness.

Mg Ditch Figures Prominently in Proceedings of the Closing Session of Association, Dlrmlngham, Eng., Sept. 17.?The Panama canal figured prominently in th( proceedings of the Hritish ass rela? tion which closed today, in the eco? nomic section Prof. A. W. Kirk lady described the economic effects of tin canal, while in the engineering section Dr. Vaughn Cornish, distinguished foi geographical research^ discussed the land slips in the canal, especially in Culebra cut. Dr. Cornish declared that these slips were due to seams of coal un? derneath rotting, which resulted in the thrusting up of the granite and the melting away of the banks. This evil was unforeseen by geologists and could be attributed to the cutting away of the forests along the canal that formerly absorbed the moisture, which now is penetrating the stratum underlying the canal. He said that nature would continue to take this revenge until the forest were re grown, when the underground How would cease. In the discussion that followed Prof Klrklady and Sir Oliver Lodge, said that without biological research the canal would have been impossible; it! . was only by the destruction of the i microbe of malaria that white men were enabled to work there. What the Americans call the "Panama ditch" is 1 now healthy, they declared, as New j York. This was a tremendous i achievement. STATEHl KG SOCIETY NEWS. Entertainment by Mls.sc?
