ll??\e Stopped.
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.

San Francisco, Sept. 17.?Two yearn

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.
