FOGARTY SENTENCED.
JUDGE ADAM 0 IMPOSES THE FULL
PENALTY.
Ten Yoa. a in the ’’enitentiary to be the
Coa of His Assault Upon E. J.
KiefFer The Prisoner's Counsel
Mekes an Appeal for Mercy—The
Rees ns Given for tho Severity of the
Sentence- 1 be Case to be Appealed.
Thomas Fogar v was brought into the
Sup-vnor Court yesterday afternoon to re
ce vc his sentence. It was not generally
known that sentence was to have been
passed and consequently there were but few
people iii the court, but those who were there
were making ail sort of guesses as te
what it would lio The impression
whs that two or three years would be
knocked off on account of the jury’s recom
mendation to mercy. At 5:15 o'clock
Fogarty was brought into court and placed
in the dock. He did not look badly, ou the
contrary he looked hale and hearty, but he
w*s very much downcast. While the Judge
was writing the sentence he kept his eyes
fixed upon the floor, raising them only now
and <hen to glance for a moment at his
honor.
A PLEA FOR MERCY.
Mr. Meldrim addressed tho court and sniil:
“Before sentence is |>assed I have nothing
to add to what 1 have already said except
that these attacks continue as before, and
since the prisoner has been in the jail they
have occurred on the average of twice a
week. That is Ills physical condition, and I
do not think that tlie penitentiary under the
present system is the proper place for a per
son so afflicted. Your Honor will remem
ber that the jury asked if they
could recommend to mercy. Evidently Unit
request was made because they thought the
prisoner was entitled to mercy on account
of his condition, and I would ask the court
to consider that in passing the sentence.
Fogarty is not in a condition to serve a
sentence in the penitentiary, and therefore
I would ask the court to recognize the
recommendation of the jury.”
Fogarty's eyes had wandered from his
counsel to Judge Adams during the speech,
but when it was concluded and Judge
Adams began writing again herenewned his
fixed gaze on the floor, and did not again
raise nis eyes until the Judge said:
“Thomas Fogarty, stand up.” He rose in
the dock and leaned against the rail. His
hands startisl towards his pockets, but tic
drew them l>aek and lightly held the rail
while he stood to hear his fate.
PREGNANT WITH MEANING.
Judge Adams then said: “The assault
which you made upon F. J. Kieffer was as
unprovoked, deliberately planned, ami
coolly executed as any attempt on human
life that has ever come before this court. It
is only a miracle that your victim survived
your attempt to slay him. I have no doubt
but you are subject to the attacks you say
you have, but though they may be epileptic,
I do not believe they rendered you unac
countable, and I have not heard that you
were less accountable at tho time
of the shooting than at tuo
time of the trial. No plea
of insanity was filed, or you would have
been sentenced to the asylum if you had
been found insane. The idea of putting an
insane man on his trial is repugnant to the
law, and repugnant to us all, and the fact
that your friends permitted you to go to
trial is pregnant with meaning. It seems
that you are a young man of violent pas
sions, not the result of the
attacks with which you are
afflicted. I deeply sympathize with your
family, whoso devotion to you Is noble and
admirable, but Kieffer, too, had a family:
he is a husband and a father, and 1 am im
pelled by a sense of duty and must act un
der a nobler sentiment than that of sympa
thy. Suffering must come from wrong
acts, and often it is the innocent
who must suffer most. I cannot undcistand
upon what theory the jury recommended
mercy. If you were unaccountable you
should not have been found guilty;
if you were accountable there is
no reason for mercy. Morally
you are as guilty of rimrder as if
your victim had dit-T" Your sentence will
be ten years in the penitentiary.”
TO RE APPEALED.
The sentence was a surprise to all present.
Ten years is the full limit and no one
thought that the Judge would inflict the
full penalty, hut in doing so he gave con
cisely lus reasons for it, and it seems im
possible to find fault with them.
The case will go to the Supreme Court,
and in the meanwhile a supersedeas band
will be filed and Fogarty will bo released
under that bond, which will be in the sum
of $B,OOO, to appear at the next session <>l
the Superior Court. Mr. Meldrim will
fight tlie case hotly in the Supreme Court,
and use every effort to have the finding of
the lower court reversed, and lie says that
he will explain there nnaiy things that
have been left unexplained heretofore.
DEAD IN HER BED.
A Mother’s Body Found With Her Babe
In Her Arms.
Coroner Dixon held an inquest on tlie re
mains of Mary Clemmons who was found
dead at her home yesterday on Liberty and
Reynolds streets. The testimony showed
that she complained of a slight illness the
night previous and drank a quantity of
ice water. During the night the baby was
heard crying about all the while and in the
morning, when an investigation was made,
she was found dead in her bed, lying on her
left side, tlie baby lying on Tier left
arm, her right hanging over and
embracing it. The jury rendered a verdict
of deatli from Providential causes. The
woman was a mulatto. She came from
Wayeroxs, and letters found in her trunk
made mention of the names of one or two
prominent citizens of that place. The let
ters were written evidently to induce her to
leave Waycross, and suggested various
things that might befall her if she hesiutod
in the matter. A telegram was sent to one
party there, but he disclaimed all knowl
edge of the woman, and told them to tele
graph to her family.

RICH’S SENTENCE MODIFIED.
A Peculiar Statute Operates in his
Behalf.
Judge Adams had J. I). Rich, who was

before him yesterday and modified his sen
tence. The first sentence was thirty days in

tion was found in a very peculiar statute,
section 4310 of the Code, which says
tliat for stabbing the punishment shall
be a fine of not more than SI,OOO, and im
prisonment ill the jail for not more than
six months, or in the chain gang for not

days imprisonment and a tine of S3OO, the
alternative, three months in tho chain-gang.

THAT MYSTERIOUS TRIO.
WHO THE THREE BAY STREET
MERCHANTS ARE.
The Developments in the Cassidy-
Smith Affair A Number of Reports
for Which There Was No Foundation
—The Negro Boy Makes an Important
Admission—The Identity of the Pistol
Doubtful.
It will be remembered that in the testi
mony at the Coroner’s inquest, “three Bay
street merchants” were alluded to by Cas
sidy as “three suckers” whom he was to
pluck. The party comprised Mr. C. D.
Baldwin, C. S. Godfin and D. B. Paxton, all
of Peacock, Lunt & Cos. They went
down Tuasday evening to Tybee
intending to remain for a day.
They' are all well-known young men of this
city and m> st satisfactorily explained their
movements that night. Though they met
Cassidy and were in bathing with his party,
yet it was a purel y casual occurrence and
such as might happen a thousand times.
Mr. Baldwin only knew Cassidy as a passing
acquaintance and the others were intro
duced for the first time that night. They
supposed Maggie Ferrell was his wife.
Their story does not give any facts bearing
on the tragedy but it is simply ai. account
of bow they’ spent the night and enjoyed
their surf batii.
Maggie’s long drive.
It was said that Joe Green, who drove
Maggie Ferrell and Cassidy to tho barracks,
had overheard a conversation between them,
but the statement ho makes is th.t the
mounted officei was at the side of the car
riage, too cl se for them to converse to
gether without his hearing them. As Cas
sidy got out he turned to Maggie and said:
“I’ve got into 50... e trouble, some way, but
guess it’ll lie all right. See —blit here
the trampling of the horse made so much
noiso tliat none but Maggie heai and the direc
tion.
AYhen she was released from the barracks
she was driven to the Solicitor General’s of
fico, but lie was absent. She then was
driven to Cassidy’s place, where a young
man, her brother, jumped in the carriage.
They next drove to th • b rraclcs and asked
to see Cassidy bit* worn refused. Capt.
Dixon’s office was visited to obtain tier nis
sion but ill vain. They again visited the
barracks, but being unable to attain their
object were uriven to .Maggie’s home. She
seemed pretty worried all the while aim
urgedthe driver to make the best sliced
possible.
“l HAINT DONE NO MURDER.”
When Edward James, tho young colored
boy, was arraigned at the police barracks
it was hard to determine on what charge
to hold him. Therefore, the officer ad
dressing the boy, asked:
“What’s your name, boy?”
“Edwar’ Janies, boss,” whimpered the lad.
“What do you do for a living?"
“I’se working for Mr. Cassidy, boss.”
“Where did you sleep last night?” asked
the officer) glowering at the boy, who was
shivering with fright.
“Oh, I slept wid Mr. Cassidy atde island.
AVe bofe slept in one bed, but I doan’t know
nuthin’ of de murder, boss; foh de Lawd, I
doan’t.”
This gave him away completely,
and he was locked up at once.
RUMORS AND REPORTS.
It is said that the pistol now held by the
officers is not his (Cassidy’s). The one in
their possession is an old style pistol, iron
barrel, plainly mounted, with u wooden
curved butt. It is a six-shooter. The one
Cassidy is said to have carried was a long
38-calibre Smith & Wesson, Finely silver
plated. und a handsome weapon.
A number of conflicting and sensational
rumors were dying around last night, but
none could Vie confirmed. One stated that
on the trip up to the city Maggie was over
heard to tell Cassidy that if he wasn’t care
ful he would be arrested when they got to
tho city. Another somewhat similar was to
the effect that Cassidy told someone on the
boat that he expected to be arrested When
the boat and veil at Savannah.
A silly canard was circulated shortly af
ter noon to the effect that Cassidy had cut
his throat and was dying, but there was no
more truth in it than in many others that
were heard.
It was rumored that Cassidy’s foot had
been measured and that it compared precise
ly with the large tracks found in the sand
the morning alter the killing, but no con
firmation of this could he had, and it. was
not generally believed that Cassidy would
have permitted anyone to measure his foot.
He is conducting his case with marked abili
ty, find it is not probable that he had per
mitted the prosecution to obtain this im
portant bit of evidence.
Henry William Ravenel LL. D.
From the XeUls anrl Courier.
Dr. 11. IV. Ravenel, the eminent liotanist,
died at his home, in Aiken, on Sunday last.
I)r. Ravenel was horn in St. Jobs's Berke
ley, on May 19, ISI4, and was educated at
private schools in Charleston and at the
South Carolina College, from which he was
graduated with distinction in 1833. He
then engaged in planting, which he con
tinued for twenty years, in his native parish,
at the same ' time pursuing with
assiduity the study of botany. In
recognition of his services and his
discovery of many “new” plants, one genus
and fifty species of plants have been named
after him. His published works have been
chiefly in the form of monographs. Among
them the “Fungi Caroliniani Exsiceatti”
attracted much attention in the scientific
world. Prof. Cook, of London, and Dr.
liavenel jointly prepared several volumes
on “Fungi,” which were published in Eng
land in editions of only 190 copies each. In
1809 Dr. Ravenel was appointed, with Prof.
Gan gee, by the United States govern
ment, to investigate the cause of a cattle
disease, commonly known as “milk-sick,”
then prevailing in Texas. The learned and
exhaustive report of the botanists establish
ed the fact that the disease did not originate
from the eating of the poisonous fungus
growth, to which up u> that time it had
lus'ii attributed.
Dr. Haveners abilities and researches were
perhaps better known and appreciated in
Europe than in America. The University
of North Carohna conferred upon him the
degree of LL. I>. in 1886. His herbarium,
now in the possession of his family, contains
]H'rhn))s the best, e aleetion of pkenogamous
and cryp* ganmux plants in the world, of
which nearly every s]>ecimcn has been au
thenticated by the two eminent botanists,
Curtis of this country, and Berkeley of Eng
land.
Dr lb venel was the agricultural editor
of the W'ekly AVies and Courier for two
years, and conducted his department with
marked ability.
In Aiken, where ho has resided for thirtv
tlireo years, he was universally beloved ail'd
cwteemtsl as a modest-, retiring, Christian
gentleman, who had added lustre to a name
which since the revocation of the Edict of
Nantes has been the synonym in South
Carolina for all that was "pure and of good
report. ’’

About Various Lines.
The excursions organized this week under
the auspices of the Kailway Conductors’ As
sociation were so successful that the Augusta
division of the order think of starting ex
cursions soon for helping their treasury.
The Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta
road has abolished bell cords. The new ar
rangement for stop signals and other com
munications is a second tube like the one
now used on all trains, painted to distin
guish it. The signal blows a whistle near
the conductor. The other roads will doubt
less shortly follow suit.
Military Passes.
From the Americus (Go.) Recorder.
Dawson, July 18.—It was a little hu
miliating for the “young bloods” of the
South to carry permits and passes during
the war as the negroes did before the war.
Some were too proud to ask for them, and
would not do so, except in cases of necessity.
When the army of Tennessee retreated
from Corinth, Miss., some of the sick of my
company (E, Fifth Georgia) were sent to
Macon, Miss., and some to Lauderdale
Springs. While the army was camped at
Tupelo I got permission to visit the sick at
those two points. 1 found them doing well
at Macon, and proceeded to Lauderdale. I
found E. W. Kelly (“Zoke”) and N. B.
Gresham (“I’o!y”) very sick. I remained
with them till Gresham died and Kelly re
covered. Lamar Janes and Oscar Janes, of
Company F, were also quite sick there
Oscar died and Lamar recovered, Is sti!
living, weighs 300 pounds, and holds two or
three offices in this city.
The following is a copy of the pass on
which I traveled:
Office Provost Marshal. I
Macon, Mis,',., Aug. 4, 18(52. f
Pass Lieut. Fulton to Lauderdale Springs,
Miss. 1 Fc.'pon honor not to con-'iunieate
envthlng that may prove detrimental to the Con
federate States.
By order E, R. MILLS,
Provost Marshal.
We thought that when the war ended we
would never more lie forced to the necessity
of carrying a pass or permit. But we were
mistaken. For some time after the war we
were not allowed to carry a gun to kill the
crows and squirrels from our fields, nor a
pistol to protect our persons and property
without a written permit from Federal au
thority. The following is a copy of one of
tlier permits, handed me by Dr. John T.
Lamar, of this county:
Provost Marshal’s Office, I
Americus, Ga., Sept. lfi, 1885. (
Permission is hereby granted to Dr. John T.
Lamar, of Sumter county, Ga., to use and carry
one pece of private firearms of the following
character: Revolver--with necessary ammuni
tion for the purpose of defense. By order
Coi.. 11. F. Sicki.es,
Commanding Second Sub-District.
A . C. Bradwcll,
Captain 147th 111. Vol. and Provost Marshal.
Not ice -After Oct. 1, 1886, all persons found
wit ii ('< in federate or United States firearms, or
any ammunition or munitions of war, whatever,
in their possession, without permission from
the proper military authorities, will be arrested
ami sent to Department Headquarters with
such articles.
Well, all these things are past and gone.
They are forgiven, and perhaps should be
forgotten. We recall them occasionally,
only to compare our straightened eircurii
stances then with our peaceful, pleasant and
prosperous condition now. We should re
cur to them occasionally with admiration of
our gift of endurance and perseverance, of
the final magnanimity of a generous foe,
and to give thanks to an all-wise Providence
for a mutual reconciliation and our in
creased and still increasing prosperity.

Threw Aside Her Stick.
1333* Christopher and 497 Hudson
Streets, New York, Feb. 13, 1884.—All
cock’s Porous Plasters have l>een a
great comfort to me in winter. I use them
as chest protectors; they break up a cold in
a few horn’s if placed one on the chest and
two under the shoulder blades.
Last winter I was much crippled with
rheumatism in my knee; I had tried differ
ent remedies without avail; then I covered
the whole knee-joint with two Allcock’s
Porous Plasters and kept them on four
days, when 1 changed them. I got better
all the time, anil in two weeks I was entire
ly well, and threw aside my stick.

my aim to reduce stock or to close it out as

not a device to draw trade, but a positive
fact. I offer sterling silverware for wed
