HANGED AT EDGEFIELD, S. C.
Execution of Joe Stephenft—LoetnK
Hie Nerve at tbe Last--Tbe Storr
of Hla Crime,
CutBe,ESTON, May 21.—Joe Stephens, col
ored, was hanged in Eieefield yesterday for
the murder of Andy Richardson, colored.
He took his place on the trap with firmnef s
but at last his courage seemed to forsake’
him, and waving his handkerchief he be
came greatly excited, exclaiming in a loud
tone, “I claim protection ! Give me protec
tion ! I command the peace ! Peace ! Peace!
Peace 1” and while supplicating for aid and
assistance Sheriff Oaztz sprang the trigger
and in ten minutes the murderer was life
less.
D r- ® reen having pronounced him dead,
the body was delivered to his friends to be
forti!, 10 h 8 old & om e near Richardson ville
for interment. Neither his wife nor children
were present, but before leaving tbe jail be
sent them an affectionate and tender mes-
Quite a crowd of white and colored people
witnessed the execution from the top of the
jail wall and the adjacent buildings. Before
leaving the jail Stephen sassured the minis
ters that he was prepared and willing to die.
The following la the story of the crime:
Joe Stephens, colored, was arrested In
Jauuary or February. 1878, charged with
the murder of Andy Richardson, also col
ored, on January 12, 1878. A short time
prior to that date Joe Stephens while pass
log Andy Richardson’s house was attacked
and severely beaten by Andy, who was a
young man and superior in physical strength
to Joe. Stephens then applied to a Trial
Justice in the neighborhood for a warrant
for the arrest of Richardson. The Trial
Justice refused to issue the warrant on the
ground that Stephens bad no money with
which to pay the charges for the warrant,
but told Stephens when he got the money
to bring it to him and he would have Rich
ardsou arrested. Stephens was unable to
raise the money, and soon afterwards heard
that Richardson had said that the next time
he met him, he ( Richardson) intended to
“finish him.” Richardson bore a bad repu
tation for violence, and w-as a man of des
perate character. On the night, of the diffi
culty Stephens went to a gathering of the
colored people, at a colored man’s house In
the neighborhood, where a prayer meeting
was being held. Soon after he arrived
there, Richardson also came in with a stick
in his hand, laid the stick aside, took a seat
near the door, and joined in the singing. In
a little while Stephens walked by Richard
son, and with an inferior pocket knife out
or stabbed Richardson and ran out of the
door. Parties kept Richardson from pur
suing Stephens, who stopped outside the
door uutil he could get his hat, and imme
diately left tbe place. It was then discov
ered that Richardson was cut, and a pby
sician was sent for. The physician found
that a vein on the left 6ide, between the
ribs, wss cut, but was unable to check the
flow of blood. Two days thereafter Rich
ardson died.
On the day last fixed for hla execution
Joe was respited by Governor Hagood for
four weeks, until May 20, with the assur
ance that there would be no further Execu
tive clemency. Since then he has seemed
perfectly resigned to his fate, expressing
himself as prepared for death and appar
ently entertaining an undoubted hope of a
blissful immortality btyond the grave “at
de right hand of de blessed Jesus.” The
colored ministers visited him often and ad
ministered spiritual consolation, and be as- '
sured them that he was “all right, and is
going right home to heaven in a blszr of
glory.”
He says he killed Andy Richardson
through fear that Andy would take his life
as he bad threatened to do.
Joe had the sympathy of the white peo
ple generally, and many are of tbe opinion
that he should have been imprisoned in the
penitentiary for a term cf years.

armed Mexicans crossed the river at Shel
don’s ranebe, 35 miles below here, during
the absence of Sheldon, and kidnapped
a young woman in his em
ploy, forcibly dragging her across tbe

Indebted to the Mexicans, and the woman
was a peon to the latter, In consequence of
her husband’s unpaid debt. The parties
reside in a little village on the Rio Grande,

PITY'S CHOSEN VICARS,
THE BROTHERHOOD OF THE
RED CROSS.
Tbe Famous Society to be Establish
ed In tbe Catted States— ImporUut
Meeting at tbe Capital—The Nume
rous Attempts Rlade to Introduce
rlie,Order Here—The Last Likely to
Prove Successful.
NV A9HINOTON, May 21.—At a meeting held
here this evening, which was largely at
tended by prominent citizens and those ac
tively interested In beneficent organizations,
a constitution was reported by a committee
previously appointed which was adopted as
the bas's of an organization to be known as
the Red Crose Society. Judge William
Lawrence presided, and spoke briefly of the
great work accomplished by the Red Cross
bocleties during the wars which have dis
turbed Europe and other countries since the
organization was created in 1864. Here
ierrea to the noble work done bv our 6&ni
try committees, and said the Red Cross
Societies were organized sanitary commit
tees destined to ameliorate human sutler
lng whether from the bullets, the sword or
from pestilence, wherever civilization was
known.
Mrs. Clara BartOD, prominently Identified
with sanitary and hospital work during the
civil war, and conspicuous during the
Franco Prussian war as one of the Red
Cross representatives, read a paper stroDgly
supported by extracts from official reports
showing the scope and efficiency of the Red
Cross Societies in twenty-seven countries
where the order Is recognized by the gov
ernment and accorded tbe powers and
privileges which are a6ked for it i n the
Untted Btates. John Stitz, the Swiss Con
sul, spoke warmly in support of the plan
for organizing a Red Cross Society in this
country, and speeches were made by several
others to the same end.
Gn at interest in the subject of organizing
the society in the United States has been
manifested of late, although the matter is
by no means new. The United Sti;tes Gov
eminent was represented in the Geneva
Convention of 1864, which was the Initiative
meeting of the Red Cross, but its delegates
were no t accredited witb power to commit
the government to the results of tile conven
tion. They, however, presented articles of
a treaty to the United States Gov
ernment in due time. Tn,y were
not acted upon then. The' treaty
was again presented in 1866 by Rev. Dr
Bellows, of New York, who formed Ju New
York city a Red Cross Association, but noth
ing came of it. It was again presented in
1878, when the International Commission at
Geneva addressed a letter to the President.
The subject was very favorably and wecmly
received by Messrs. Hayes and Evans* but
no action was taken.
On the Incoming of the administration of
Geu. Garfield the treaty was presented for
the fourth time, and with the assurances
glveu by Secretary Blaine that the President
and. himself were very desirous of adopting
the treaty, and as it requires legislative *c
tlam, the assurance has been given that: it
will be fully recommended to the next Com
gress. Several Cabinet officers and maiiy
army officials are very warm supporters an and
ardent advocates of the cause, notably
Secretaries Blaine, Windom and Lincoln,
Generals Sherman, Grant, Sheridan, Towa -
send, Rucker and Assistant Surgeon Gem s
ral Crane. A further meeting of the socit -
ty for election of officers will shortly Ue
held.

London, May 21. —A dispatch from St.
Petersburg says: “Important arrests con
tinue almost daily. Heesy Helffmann, who
was sentenced to death for complicity in
the murder of the Czar, and reprieved on
account of her delicate condition, has been
delivered of a still born child. Another
conspirators’ deD, containing large stores of
arms and dynamite, has been found near
Warsaw. The occupants have deserted the
house.”
Moscow, May 21.—The police are taking
precautions against the rumored pending
attack on the Jews. Some Jewish families
have already fled and others are depositing
their valuables in banks.
Pakis, May 21—At a private meeting,
organized by the Irreconcilables to protest
against the sentence of Hessey Helffman,
after a number of inflammatory speeches,
resolutions were passed censuring the acts
of the Russians, blaming France for crush
ing the right of asylum, and hoping that
the revolutionists of Russia would tri
umph.
St. Petersburg, May 22.—The Governor
General of Cbarkoff has Issued a proclama
tion forbidding assaults upon the persons of
Jews, and 6tatlng that tbe Jews equally
with other faithful subjects of the Czar are
under the protection of the laws. Their
persons and property must be, there
fore, equally respected. The proclamation
says. “I, therefore, summon all well dis
posed persons to help by all means in their
power to tranquillize the public mind, and,
if the Jews are further attacked, 1 6hali
proceed with the greatest severity against
tbe rioters. I shall not hesitate to use
armed force or to place the country under
martial law if necessary.”
Reports of anti Jewish riots at Moscow
are denied. One hundred peasants of Prince
Gortsckakoff near Kief have been arrest
ed for creating disturbances.

Paris, May 21.—News received here from
Orar, Algeria, states that a column of
French troops, under Col. Inuocenti’s, had
been attacked by a body of five thousand
insurgents, led by the chief of the Bouamena
rebels and defeated after a hotly contested
engagement, in which the French lost forty
native auxiliaries killed and wouDded.
The official report of fighting be
tween the French troops under ColoneJ
Innocenti and a bodv of insurgents
under the Chief of the Bouamena rebels*
says: “When in the neighborhood of Chellafs
Oran, Colonel Innocenti’s column encoun
tered a strong hostile force, whose
foot soldiers advanced boldly to within a
hundred yards, but sustaining considerable
loss fled. The enemy’s horsemen attacked
General Gouerm’s native auxiliaries, who
retreated, causing disorder in the ranks of
the French Infantry. FiD&llv the enemy
were repulsed with a loss of 300 men. The
French loss was 37 killed and 46 wounded.
Paris, May 22.—The report that France
had decided to occupy Tunis is wholly un
founded.
M. Bartbolemy St. Hilaire, Minister of
Foreign Affairs, attended the first meeting
of the Committee of Deputies on the
Tunisian treaty to-day. He stated that the
Porte bad resigned itself to the new situa
tion and relinquished the idea of sending
troops to Tripoli. Replying to questions,
he said that France contemplated organ
izing the Tunisian finances, and that, s’tie
would occupy points surrounding the Krou
mire country.
Midhat Pasha has arrived at Constan

The Relative Function* of Elders
and Deacona—The Qadtlon of Re

Staunton, May 21.— After the opening
prayer in the Presbyterian General Assem
bly to-day Dr. Girardeau of South Caro
lina, the Chairman, read along and exhaus
tive report on the deacoate, In which she
relative functions of deacons and elders were
ably discussed. Dr. Girardeau is the organ
izer and former pastor ct the great colored
congregation of Charleston, a uody having
a membership of about 2,000. with a taber
nacle of immense size, the !->t upon which it
was built having cost SIO,OOO. He is now Pro
fessor of Theology In the newly established
seminary at Columbia The report was an
elaborate argumeit in support of the reform
movement, though it was not read In direct
connection with <hat subject.
The order of tie day being the report on
retrenchment aid reform, Dr. Adger moved
that the whole matter be postponed until
Monday &d<l taken up after Dr. Girardeau’s
report had been discussed.
Dr. Leffevre.who Is recognized as the lead
er In opposition to the reform movement, fa
vored tie postponement of action on the
deacorate report until the next Assembly.
Afttr considerable discussion, partici
pated In by a number of most prominent
delegates, the order of the day waa taken
up oy an overwhelming majority. This
was looked upon as somewhat of a test
question, and the result is believed to have
clearly foreshadowed the defeat of the re
formers represented by the minority report
of the committee, to which the subject had
been referred at a previous Assembly.
Dr. Hopkins, of Virginia, then presented
the majority report on “Reform.” It recom
mended, first, that the fiye executive com
mittees of the Assembly be continued as at
present, and that the publication and edi
tion committees shall hereafter publish
monthly acknowledgments of all receipts :
Into their treasury. Second, that influ

BRITISH TOPICS.
Salisbury’* Speech Under Fire—A
Urn* Uinjf Liberal Defeat at Pres
ton.
London, May 21.— xJ 1 the election at
Preston for a member of Parliament the
full strength of the Irish party was thrown
in favor of .Henry Yates Thompson, the
Liberal candidate,in consequence of the ad
vocacy of Irishi rights by the ?aU Mall Ga
zette, of which journal Thompson proprie
tor, and the pronounced Conservative vic
tory creates a sensation.
The Standard sharply criticises the speech
of Lord Salisbury at the banquet Thursday
nighti. It says: “The attitude prescribed
for the House of Lords may be heroic and
spirited, but 19 it practical statesmanship?
Tbere was no reason why he should men
tioj v.he land bill at all, and many reasons
why he should not, but that on the very
night of the discussion of the bill in the
House of Commons he should have dis
missed the whole subject as an ebullition of
Communism too contemptible and ridicu
lous to be seriously dheussed, is much to be
regretted.”
Tbe DaVy Telegraph also condemns Lord
Salisbury's speecn, out anticipates that his
action will be wiser than his words.
The Spectator, referring to the speech, ex
presses the fear that tbe risk of the rejection
of the bill by the House of Lords has been
grievously increased. “Nothing more se
rious in British politics,” it says, “could
be well Imagined.”
Tbe Saturday Review says: “The battle
over the land bill remains to be fought. The
discussion over its second reading only In
dicates more or less precisely the locality
and conditions of the fight.”

THE WORK OF A DECADE.
THE REVISED NEW TESTAMENT.
History of (be movement That
Drought It About-The Dlatln
golabed Scholars That Executed
and Supervised the Tusk-Parallel
Comparisons Exhibiting the Dif
ferences Between tbe New and Old
Versions.
In February, 1370, a resolution was unani
mously adopted by both houses of convocation
of Canterbury to appoint a joint committee to
report upon the desirability of a revision of
the authorized verson of the Old and New Tes
tament!, whether by marginal notes or other
wise, in all those passages where plain, clear
errers, whether ia Hebrew or Greek text, or
iginally adopted by translators or in transla
tion made from the same, shall, on due investi
gation, be found to exist. On May 7, the
committee reported that a revision of the
authi rized version was very desirable ; that
one should be conducted so as to include mar
ginal renderings, and such emendations as may
be found necessary to insect the original
text. The report further says; “No new
translation of the Bible is con
templated, or any alteration of language
except where, in the judgmeut of the most
competent scholars, such change is necessary;
that in such necessary changes the existing
style shall be closely followed; that the con
vention should nominate a brdy of its own
members to undertake the twk of revision,
who shall be at liberty to invite correspondence
with any person eminent for scholarship, ir
respective of nationality and religion.’’ The
committee on the Old Testament consisted of
the Bishops of St. Davids, Landoft, Ely, Lin
coln, Bath and Wells, irchdeacon Hose, Can
on Belwyn, and Drs. Jebb and McKay. They
were assisted by Dr. W. L. Alexander, Prof.
Chenery, Canon Cook, Profs Davidson, Fair
burn, Leathes, McGill, Perowne, Drs. B. Davis,
Gin.burg, Gotch, Archdeacon Har
rison, and W. A. Wright. The Ameri
can members of the commission were Profs.
Green, Princeton; Dav, New Haven; Dewitt,
New Brunswick N. J.; Hare, Lhiladelpbia;
Packard, Fairfax. Stowe, Strong, Madison;
Lewis Scheriestaae and Van Deyck, Beyrout.
Tne English committee on the New Testament
consisted of the Bishops of Winchester, Glou
cester and Saulsbury, the Deans of Canterbury
and Westminster, Canon Blakesley, assisted by
Drs. Angus, Sadie, Lightfoor, Newih, Robert
Scott, Vaughau, Profs. Milligan, Moulton,
Newtb, Canons Kennedy and vvestcott, the
Rev. Messrs. Hort and Humphrey, and Prof.
Roberts. Tne American members of the com
mittee on the revision of the New Testament
were ex-President Wooisey, New Haven; Pro
fessors Abbott, Cambridge; Short, New York;
Hackett, Rochester; Hodge, Princeton; Ken
drick, Rochester; Biddle, Hartford; ttmith,
New York; Thayer, Andover; Warren.
Boston; Drs. Crookes, Lee and
Wallington and Washburn, of New York.
The English committee on the New Teata
! aaent met regularly in the Jerusalem cham
bers under the presidency of the Bishop of
Gloucester and Bristol, meeting forty days
each year. The committee on the Ola Testa
ment met five times each year. The revision
of the Row Testament was c mpleted in the
Jerusalem chamber November 11, 1880. The
American committee was under the presi
dency of Dr. Bchaflf. Prof. Day, of Yale Col
lege, being Corresponding Secretary.and Prof.
Shorr, of Columbia College, Treasurer, The
committee held metings iu the Bible House
New York The work is expected to be pub
lished about May 17. Since the close of the
labors of the committees the most profound
secrecy has been observed in everything re
lating to the revision, save the date of publi
cation. None except those directly connected
frith the work of publication have
been permitted to know the smallest
particular; even the size, type and
v.lume have been kept a pro
found secret. An eminent writer says the re
vised version will not materially impair the
integrity of this pr celess heritage: it will take
its ftand by the side of the old. cherished
version. In time, if worthy, it will
take its place just as the authorized version
itself took the place of its predecessors, whose
language it redeemed for the most part, and
grauually displaced the G neva version, once
so popu'ar in both England and Scotland. Its
solid framework and majestic language, vener
able even in the time of James 1., and still
archaic only in Its stately grace and flow,
which have almost vanished from modern
Ungiisb, will still be retained; no chunges will
bt) made except where change is necessary in
tlae paramount interests of truth and accuracy.
The.' New Testament will become a still more
faith ful transcript of the Greek text than
befon. \ but it will, nevertheless, retain
the veL erab’e, familiar features of the Bible.

A KEW AND WONDERFUL IHYEHTIOH
An Effective, Certain and Simple means of
Destroying
Bed Bugs, Cockroaches, Ants Votha
< and Parasites of all kind.
The apparatus for generating th isuaui
is an ordinary nursery lamp, holding
half a pint of the Medicated Fluid with
a tube at the top to direct the Medicated
Steam upon any point infested with in
sects. It is heated with a small spirit
lamp beneath the boiler. For Dwellings,
Hotels, Steam Ships, Restaurants, etc.,
nothing ever discovered equals this ap
pliance. It is harmless to human life;
is inexpensive and simple in its use.
While a most potent means for destroy
ing vermin, it is the best disinfectant
known and may be most effectually used
to prevent the spread of contagious dis
eases, such as Yellow Fever, Scarlet
Fever, Typhoid Fever, Diptheria, Small

the great advantages of this over all
