A FITE-YEAR-OLD FIEND.
BB KILLS AN INFANT WITH A
SHARPENED IRON.
The Point Driven Into the Head of the
Helpless Little One Repeatedly—lte
Eyes Jabbed Out and Other Cruel In
juries Inflicted—He Unconcernedly
Confesses the Crime.
Columbia, S. C., March 3.—Probably
the annals of child crime will be searched
in vain to fled a parallel of the fiendish act
of a 5-year-old colored boy of this city,
from which an infant died a lingering
death here to-day. The sickening details
might well strengthen the belief that people
may still be possessed of the devil. Thus
only can be explained this diabolical deed
of a child so young as to esoape responsi
bility for his act, while exhibiting all the
coolness and more than the unconcern of a
murderer of older years.
STORY or THK CRIME.
J,ast evening Addis Beoehain, a colored
woman living on Scienoe alley, ne*r the
penitentiary, left her house, leaving her
infant, .7 .months of age, in its cradle.
Scarcely had the mother gone out
than Bud Harris, a boy 5 years of age,
who lived next dxir, stole
in and approached the defensele .s little one.
He carried in his lad a sharp-pointed
iron instrume it made from a spike bent
■nd sharpened, and,*apparently|:lirough a
fiendish desire to inflict suffering, to maim
and destroy, plunged the iron into the
infant’s skull again and again. Indeed, this
demon in boys form fairly perforated the
bead and face of the unfortunate tab.-,
picked at its eyes and jabbed
the instrument into its ears.
The child’s cries attracted the at
tention of its mother, who came rushing in
only to find her little one bathed in blood
and in a dying condition.
THE FIEND CONFESSES.
Later she found Bud Harris at the front
gate digging holes in the ground with the
iron with which be had attao-ed the child.
Neighbors fir eked to the spot, and one of
them, Bessie Johnson, wrung a confession
fr< m the juvenile murder, who seemed en
tirely unconcerned about the whole matter.
The child after lingering uutil to-day died
about noon and an inquest was held this
evening. The boy butcher repeated his
confession to the coroner, and the jury
rendered the following verdict: “That the
infant of Addle Beacham came to its deeth
from wounds in the head inflicted by Bud
Harris, a child 5 years old, and we, the
jury. cannot bold him responsible on ac
count ct his age.”

The City and the * gricultural Society
Make Up.
Macon,Ga., March 3. —The state agricult
ural society will bold its next fair in Macon,

claims on both sides are withdrawn. Macon
has now no suit for SIO,OOO pending against
the society. The old contract was discussed
and anew construction ou certain clauses
affecting the policing of the grounds, the use
of water and sprinkling carts, and both sides
finally agreed that m the future the
annual fair cannot be Jeoiared off unless the
city council shall first give its consent. All
these provisions and addendum were put in
writing and will be signed to-morrow by
both parties. The committee Is now at work

tion company will be held to-morrow and
that the local organization will take a hand
in the next fair.

A LETTER FROM CLEVELAND.
The Ex-Preeident Writes to the At
lanta Cleveland Club
Atlanta. Ga., March 3.—Ex-President
Grover Cleveland has written the following
letter to the Cleveland Club of thil city,
which will be read with interest by bis ad
mirers all over the state:
New York. Feb. 29, 1892,
IF. II Black, Esq.. Secretary:
Mv Dear Sir—l will not attempt to conceal
the gratification afforded me by the message
you transmit fromt ,e Cleveland Club, of Atlan
ta I have received so many manifestations of
frien illness from toe people of Atlanta that I
cherish toward them the warm-st gratitude
and liveliest affection.
I cannot say that I am certain I deserve all
t e laudation contained in the resolutions
of your club. 1 can say, however,
that i find a sense of great satisfaction in
the reflection that I have been permitted to ad
somewhat in rest- rim: to the people in a larve
s -cl ion of our country their stan ling and posi
tion lti our common Ame-ican citizenship, not
nominally and barrenly, but substantially and
potentiallv. For whatever I have done in this
direction I have abundant reward in the pros
perity of your peep e, which doubles our national
prosperity: In the cheerful co-operation of vour
people, which insures a lasti ? national
brotherhood, * and In the appreciation,
by your people of ail that has been done iii their
behalf. After all I look upon their ben-ficent
accomplishments as resulting from the appre
ciation of true democratic doctrines, and I be
lieve that one who, in public place, submits
himself to their guidance, will find it easy to do
justice and to subserve the interests of all his
fellow countrymen. Yours very truly,
Gnovea Cleveland.
A KNOTTY SCHOOL QUESTION.
Tha Bight of State-aided Schools to
Colleot Fees at Stake.
Atlanta, Ga., Maroh 3, —An
important school question will be de
cided by Commissioner Bradwell next
Monday. It is on the admission of pupils to
private schools that require a portion of the
school fund. This morning Commissioner
Bradwell heard the case referred to him
by the county sohool commissioners of
Washing.on county. A resident of Ten
nille claimed the right to enter his child at
the Tennille high school without paying
the fees charged by that institution. He
based bis criitn on the ground that the insti
tute received the public school fund, with
all the conditions attached to it, rather thin
have a public school opened, and that
fact makes it a free school.
J. C. Harmon, an attorney, appeared and
made a lengthy argument In favor of the
stand the Tennille institute had takeD.
There are many intricate points involved iu
this case, and upon the decision of Capt.
Bradwell binges an important decision to
many similar situated schools in the state.
SILVER MEN GAINING.
The Republicans Not Apt to Oppose
Consideration.
Washington, March 3.—The lines are
beginning to tighten as the time approaches
for a vote on the resolution fixing the time
for the consideration of the Bland bill. The
anti-silver democrats, beaded by Repre
sentatives Andrew, O’Neill and Williams of
Massachusetts, and Warner and Cockran of
New York, are urging ail the
arguments they can bring to
bear to get the republicans to agree to assist
them in their fight. Thus far their efforts
have not been sucoessful. The republicans
have not held any c nferenceon the subject,
and no attempt has been made to bind the
members of the party to stand together on
the question of consideration. At present
each member is entirely free to exercise his
own judgment.
INCLINED TO FAVOR CONSIDERATION.
A considerable number of republicans are
disposed to vote for the consideration on
the ground that the bill involves an impor
tant question, and one on which the House
should be permitted to express itself. Abner
Taylor of Illinois and C. W. Stone of Penn
sylvania, of the republican minority of the
committee on coinage, Mr. Waiker of Mas
sachusetts of last year’s committee on coin
age, and other republicans, are among
tuose who, while opposed to free coin
age. are inclined to favor consideration
of the bill Some of these republicans,
however, wish some assurance that it is
really proposed to bring the sliver bill to a
vote. They express a feeling that it is
merely proposed to permit the members to
make speeches and not to aot. They are
opposed to this course and wish to be*con
vinced of the policy of the majority in
this respeot before deciding on their oourse.
LOOKS BAD FOR THH ANTIS.
The events of to-day were not encourag
ing to the anti silver men, as it wo* found
that some democrats whom they had
counted on as favorable to the postponement
were weakening and did not wish
to be recorded as casting a
vote which might be construed as
hostile to silver. Mr. Pieroe of Tennessee
has caused telegrams to bo sent to every
democrat believed to be favorable to free
coinage, urging them to be present when
the vote is taken Monday. The anti-silver
democrats are also moving to have all their
forces present.
BAUM’S PENSION BUREAU.
The Investigation By the House Com
mittee Still in Progress.
Washington, March 3.—The special
House oomraittee investigating the pension
bureau continues its daily sessions inquiring
into the matters which have from time to
time BDpeared in public prints to the detri
ment of the office. In the matter of re
rating each others pensions carried on by
employes of the bureau in Washington,
which created a marked scandal at the time
it became public, Assistant Secretary
Bussey testified that all of the men respon
sible for that practice had been removed.
None of tho money reoeived illegally had
been recovered. It was found that pension
money conld not be recouped, nor could a
man’s salary be attached, so all that had
been done was a recommendation to con
gress to enact a law to cover the oase.
To Mr. Enloe Mr. Bussey said the great
est abuse the pension office had to oontend
with was the practice of congressmen in
pushing pension claims. He did not see
how the practice could be stopped except
by law. It greatly increased the work of
congressmen and also of the pension office.

English and United States commission on
the Bering sea fisheries, held a long session
at the state department tbi* afternoon and

GBEBDB, THE NEW MINING TOWN.
A Very Lively and Interesting Infant
Six Months Old.
From the Neu> York Sun.
The new town of Creede, Col., a settle
meat that in a very few weeks has been
lifted from the in significance of an obscure
mining camp by an extraordinary mining
boom, is a particularly interesting place just
now in very m iny ways, and the plain facts
and incidents of its existence, as told in the
newspapers of the state, read like one of
Bret Harte’s romances. All the old miners
and mining experts in the state agree that
nothing like the Creede boom has ever been
known beiore. Several weeks ago Creede
promise,i to be a second Lead villa, but now
Leadville’s stirring times suffer by the con
trast.
The oarap of Creede, simply as a oarnp, is
about six months old. The railway reached
there in October last, but passenger trains
did not run until December, it is a narrow
gulch onjYV illo w creek,among the mountains,
9,500 feet above the sea level. The rugged
mountains rear their summits 2,000 or 3,
000 feet above the town. Just now the
weathor is intensely oold and a great deal
of snow is ou the ground. On account of
the snow the mountains have really been
scratched only in mining operations, but
the camp has shipped and is shipping more
ore than any other camp ever shipped during
a similar period of existence Load vilie not
excepted. It is not considered sale to pre
dict what the development may bo when the
snow molts. Claims have been staked out
over tho hillside*, and they give promise of
great development in the spring. Teu to
fifteen cars loaded with ore are shipped
from the camp daily, and some days the
quantity has been increased to seventeen
aud eighteen carloads. One tniue, the
Last Chance, has made contracts to ship
ten cars daily. A conservative estimate
figures the output of Creede for this year at
thirty cars a day, a value of between
$6,000,000 and $7,000,000. A Denver news
paper says the output may increase to 150
oars a day.
The sale of the Holy Moses mine, then a
bole in the ground about as big and as deep
as an ordinary cellar, to a Denver syndicate
for $70,000 attracted attention to Creede.
There was immediately a rush of miner*
and of speculators, and tor the past few
weeks tho arrivals in Craids have uvernged
about 150 a day. Two Sundays ago 300
persons arrived in the now town, it is
difficult to get trautp rtntion, and the rail
road and stages cannot handle all the fi eight
offered. The town has 6,000 lunabitauts
now and the Creede boomers I eiieve it will
have 20/00 inhabitant* by June next. The
state newspapers that are moat inclined to
be conservative admit the possibility of the
town having 10,000 or 15,000 inhabitants by
that time. Three new newspapers have been
started in Creole in the last three weeks,
end the town bes now five newspapers. The
streets are lighted, and well lighted, by
electricity, and there is a plentiful supply
of electrio lighting for private purpose*.
There i, natural! v, very great difficulty
in securing any kind of lodging or eating
acc-im-nodations. Hotels of an exceedingly
rude type are being erected, but the man
who can find a place to sleep comfortably,
by himself, is excepti mally fortunate. The
Pullman Car Compauy has half a dozen
sleeping cars on the side track at Creede,
and is in the hotel business. Berths in the
cars oust $1 a night, and are hard to get at
that. The Creede daily newspaper, two
weeks old, commenting on the opening of
the restaurant, says:
“It does a hungry man’* heart good to
see a table like this, spread with clean linen
and with fine china and glassware. ’’
The telegraph business is increasing at an
astonishing rate. The telegraph offices at
Creede aud Jim town are iu box oars on the
side tracks.
Real estate speculation, of coarse, is run
ning high. On Jan. 21 a Creede newspaper
noted sales of 25-foot lots at $1,500 and
SI,BOO each, and remarked that lots would
be forced t<* $3,000 or $4,000 during the next
ninety days. On Jan. 25, four days later,
the same paper noted the sale of a lot on
Main street for $3,100, and the proposal for
a sale of three lots for $15,000. The founda
tions of more than 1,000 buildings are now
under way. The most remarkable and most
dangerous feature iB that people have
staked off lots and claims on the school sec
tion and declared they will hold by force of
arms if neoessary. The section is patented
to the state, and the state, the authorities
declare, will not recognize the claimants in
any way, but will sell the land for school
purpose*. The person who buys from the
state will have the absolute title, and any
occupier can be ejected. The controversy
may cause great trouble, if not bloodshed.
The town is built in a gulob, and level
land is exceeding scarce. There is so little
room, and speculation has been so feverish,
that lota have been laid out in the bed of
the creok, and if the owners ever build on
them the houses will have to rest on piles
driven in the creek. Many lots, that are
held at SI,OOO to $1,500, have scarce twenty
feet of level surface, the remainder running
up the sides of the steep mountain. The
school section is much the better land. It
is to be sold on the 26th of this month, and
then there will be lively times. Pools have
been formed to avoid bidding up the land
for the benefit of the government.
The post office was located the other day
on Cliff street, and in three days time the
nearby lots soared in value from S3OO to
SSOO to from $1,500 to $2,000. Most of the
buildings are constructed with green
lumber, sawed on the spot, and there is a
probability that many may fall like card
houses when the warm weather comes along
and warps tho wood. There will be plenty
of ventilation any way.
Asa whole Creede Is a typical mining
camp. In the “streets” are throngs of ex
cited miners, speculators and haugers-on
pushing and crowding every way. Hotels
and burr ioms by the dozen, gambling
houses, and dance halls are the regular feat
ures. Home of the stires are little more
than sheds, and some ara canvas tents; but
business is rushing just the same. There
are several physicians and lawyers in the
town. The names of the barrooms are sug
gestive of the frontier—Holy Moses, Last
Chance, Bachelor City. The last named
advertises: “Fine cigars, wines, bottled
beer, etc.; also a complete line of gents’
furnishing goods.”
Frontier characters of every type are
flooking to Creede, and the oensus of the
inhabitants would show some notable aud
some notorious people. Bob Ford, the man
who killed Jesse James, is running the most
prominent sporting bouse in Creede. It is
prominent iu two ways. It is the only
painted building in town on the outside,
and figuratively, is the most vividly painted
within. It is reported that last week Ford
sold a prospect hole in the camp for $16,000.
A recent visitor says one could not begin to
count the gambling houses and other lively
resorts. It is almost impossible to get into
the gambling rooms, and the players crowd
the faro table* and other layouts six and
eight deep, it is the same way in the
saloons, where the rule is, “Fire and fall
baok.” Drinks of all kinds are fifteen cents
each, or two for a quarter. Money seems
to be very plentiful with everybody.
The news of the big strikes is inflaming
the adjoining oounty, and a Salt Lake news
paper has noted that the exoitement had
reached there, and that a great many
miners and speculators from that region
were on their way to Creede. Very many
capitalists have been there, and others are
on the way, and large amounts of money
are being invested In all kinds of enter
prises. Two mines were sold last week, one
for $30,000 and one for SIO,OOO, and a com
pany with $3,000,000 capital was organized
to work them and others now being pros
pected. Anew line of railroad is
to be built to Creede from Pueblo, and
it is said that Jay Gould is to be
the power behind the movement. Director
Moore aud Seoretary and Treasurer Caleb
of the Missouri Pacific were in Denver re
cently looking after arrangements for push*
ing the construction. They think the grad
ing can be done easily, and that the road
will be ready to rompete for business in the
early rush of business from the camp in
spring. There it also talk of the Union Pa
cific running a line from Trinidad to
Oreede. Altogether Creede seems to be a
very remarkable place, from whioh very
much may be heard.

“I have used many remedies for Dyspepsia
Liver affection and debility, but never have
found anything to benefit to the extent that
81 i.mons Liver Regulator has. I sent from
Minnesota to Georgia for the remedy and would
have sent further for such a medicine I would
advise all who are similarly affected to give it
a trial, as it seems the only thing that never
fails to relieve."—P. M. Janney, Minneapolis,
