LAVKLLE TO HAN3.
Preparations for the Execution Now
In Progress.
Charleston, 8. C., March 9.—Prepara
tions have been completed for the hanging
I of Napoleon Lavelle, a murderer who has
four times been contended and escaped each
time by the suocess of his counsel in jug
gling with the law oa technicalities, on* of
widen technicalities was in the nature of
stealing a portion of the records of the
! court.
Lavelle, on Feb. 17, 1890, called at the
residence where his wife was living with her
brother and shot her dead. He then shot her
S uucle, B. Feldman, who was attracted to
the scene by the pistol shots. Feldman
recovered. At the trial the defense
was that he went to the house and called
his wife out with the intention of commit
ting suicide in her presence, end that hi*
wife in attempting to take his pistol away
from him received the bullet in her neck.
It was proved, however, that he shot her
twice, and in hU statements before the
coroner's jury he made no reference to his
intention to commit suicide. Lavelle is a
northern man, and has several grown chil
dren by a former marriage in New York.
His case Is considered one of the most re
markable instances of the abuse of techni
calities iu the administration of law
In this state on reoord and has excited
publio opinion so much that the suggestion
has been made in the newspapers of the
state that the criminal be let off and his
lawyer hanged in bis place. It required a
special session of the state supreme court
aud an amendment of the rules to squelch
the last "appeal." There is no chance of the
execution being delayed now unless the
governor interferes. Should it take place
it will be the first instance of a white
orimlnal being executed in this city for over
thirty years. The number of white mur
derers that have escaped the law in that
time must be considerably over 100.
won’t hanq after all.
Charleston. 8. C., March 10, 2 a. m.—
Lavelle. the wife murderer, who was to
have been bauged here to-day. has been
respited by Gov. Tillman until April 7.
CAROLINA'S DOUBLE CRIME.
The Negro Under Arrest Suspected
of Two Previous Murders.
Charleston, 8. C., March 9.— There
seems to be little doubt now that Oscar
Johnson, the mulatto arrested on suspicion
of committing the double murder at Lin
coln villa on Saturday last, is the murderer.
Johnson seems to be a sort of colored Jack
the Ripper. He has been identified by a
police tnan from Augusta as the man who
committed a horrible murder iu that city
in October, 1891. The victim on that oc
casion was Johnson’s sister-in-law, whom he
first assaulted criminally ami then chopped
bar body up and wrapping the pieces in her
garments bid them in the river, where they
were subsequently found. Johnson was
tried for the offense but got off on a plea of
insanity aud was confined in the asylum at
Milledgeville, Ga., whence he escaped in
December last. It is also recalled now that
a German resident of the city, some two or
three years ago, was mysteriously mur
dered just as the Twietmauns were mur
dered at LiDcolnville, being struck while
beudingovera barrel iu his store. The
murderer was never discovered, but since
Johnson’s arrest it is said that there are
those in this city who identify him as hav
ing disappeared from the vicinity soon
after the murder. It was at first thought
that Johnson had accomplices in the Lln
colnville crime, but this idea has bien
abandoned. The prisoner is closely guarded
in jail here. The inquest has beeu adjourned
over till morning.
VEGETABLES At dIAuKE.
The Effects of the Freeze Not as Bad us
Feared.
Starke,Fla., March 9.—lt was generally
conceded on the morning of Maroh C that
everything In the way of a fruit and vege
table crop was a total failure, but ample
time and a close investigation develons that
the effects of the cold, which was then
thought to be damaging in the extreme, is
Imperceptible on oranges and pears, with
only 1 per cent, on strawberries and from
1 to 50 per cent, on beans, peas, Irish
potatoes aud Peento peaches. The rain that
bad fallen for days previous, and com
pletely deluged this section, is said, by the
old settler, to have been a blessiug iu dis
guise.
With typical Florida weather and bright
ened prospects, the tillers are taking on nev
life, and without some unforeseen disaster
the fruit crop of this (Biad(ord) county will
be phenomenal.
C lur town is in a heatfiy, prosperous con
dition with prospects of artesian water sup
ply aud more handsome residences in the
near future.
The Morning News, which now, thanks
to the Improved mall schedule, arrives here
at 10 o’clock the day it is published ,is gladly
welcomed, It being tho only daily tnat gives
us early aud rull dispatches.
Our farmers are putting In for large
crops this season, and are much pleased
with the prospects of a good crop year.
Orange and pear grove* were never look
ing better that at present. There is an im
mense bloom, aud the trees are very thrifty.
No damage was done to them whatever
from the iate frosts.
The peach crop is injured. Probably
one-balf of the early varieties are killed.
The area of the strawberry crop in this
immediate vicinity is about 200 acres aud
prospects were never hotter for a large
crop. Two hundred and eighty quarts were
shipped this day, and probabilities are 100
to 800 crates of thirty-two quarts each will
be shipped pier day In the course of the
next ten days. The crop where not pro
tected was slightly injured by the late frost,
yet many crops were protected by a cover
ing of wlregrass and were not injured.
Htarke is the center of the strawberry In
terest of Florida, as one might readily con
clude from the fact that many of the lead
ing commission houses of our northern
cities have their agents remain here during
the entire strawberry season.
The connections for the Ambler Railroad
Company’s road, which connects at Btarke
with the Florida Central and Peninsular,
has been laid, and the road Is rapidly being
completed. This road runs from Starke to
the Suwannee river, near K. Fanning,
thence to Dead Man’s hay on the gulf
tbouglia magnificent growth of forest tim
ber and rich farm lands.
FRUIT AT MIDVILLE.
Midville, Ga., March 9.— The fruit
crop in this section doesn’t seein to be
damaged by the recent cold. The grain
crop looks well and it is hoped that there
will t>e less ootton and mdre grain iu this
section.
Badly Hurt in a Runaway.
Orlando, Fla., March 9.—A disastrous
ruuaway occurred here this morniDg. A
horse attached to a wagon loaded with
oranges at the South Florida railroad sta
tion was the fugitive. In making a sharp
curve he threw his driver, Tom Allen, on
the sidewalk, by which both legs were
broken and other injuries sustained. A
iady, Mix Lelper, was thrown from a
buggy and badly bruised. The same horse,
two years ago, caused the death of a little
girl by a runaway. Runaways are too
common here.

SEBBION OF THE BBNATE.
The Question Raised as to the Business
to Be Considered.
Washington, March 9.—ln the Senate
to-day Immediately after the reading of
Monday’s journal the credentials of W.
lac Mantis, appointed by ths governor of
Montana as senator from that state in
place of Senator Banders, were presented
by Mr. Teller and read.
Mr. Vance asked Mr. Teller what wa*
proposed to be done with those credentials.
Mr. Teller replied that he wished the
credential* laid on the table to be referred
to the oommittee'on privileges aud elections
when that committee snail have beeu
formed. He did not propose to ask the
Senate to take any action on them now, as
be understood that there were several other
credentials of like character to be passed
upon, involving a question of law which
would have to be decided.
Mr. Vanoe—That is satisfactory to this
house.
The credentials were therefore laid oq
the table.
On motion of Mr. Gray it was ordered
that when the Senate adjourn to-day it be
to meet on Monday.
Mr. Mitchell introduced a joint resolu
tion to amend the constitution so as to pro
vide for the election ol United States sen
ators bv the votes of the qualified electors
of the state.
Mr. Manderson asked that the resolution
be allowed to lie on the table without any
order as to reference to committee until the
question shall be determined whether, at
the extraordinary session, which was for
executive purposes, any attempt would be
made to perform legislative business.
Mr. Mitchell said that he was willing to
have that course taken.
Pending discussion of the question of re
ceiving bills or joint resolutions requiring
the action of both houses at a session like
the present one of the .Senate, Mr. Dolph
offered another which he wished to have re
oeived if tba others should be It was read.
It was one calling upon the President of the
United States to take such measures as he
may deem necessary to consummate the
agreement between the governments of
Spam and tha United States for the rolief
of Antonio Moro, a naturalized citizen of
the United States.
Then Mr. Manderson offered a resolution
declaring it to be the sense of the Senate
that at this extraordinary session the busi
ness transacted should be confined to ex
ecutive matters and matters requiring ac
tion of the Senate.
Mr. Cockrell objected to Immediate con
sideration of the resolution and it was or
dered printed and to He over.
Mr. Hale offered a substitute for Mr.
Manderson’* resolution, declaring that “no
legislative business shall he received or en
tertained at the present session of the Sen
ate.” He subsequently modified it by In
serting the words “except treaties.” Finally
the whole matter went over until the next
meeting of the Senate.
After some remarks by Mr. Call on the
subject of his resolution as to the publio
lands In Florida, the Senate proceeded to
executive business, and at 1 o’clock ad
journed until noon on Monday next.
CAUCUS OF THE SENATORS.
The Subcommittee Making Slow
Progress in its Work.
Washington, March 9.—lmmediately
after the adjournment of the Senate the
democratio caucus committee retired to the
room of Senator Ransom and remained in
session until 8 o’clook, at which time they
adjourned until to-morrow morning at 10
o’clock. It was reporte 1 to-day that a gen
eral party oaucus would he held Saturday,
but a member of the commitlee said this
afternoon that if the committee did not
make better headway than It was now doing
there would be no caucus on that day, as
the committee would have noth
ing to report It is possible,
though, that the committee on
privileges and elections may be determined
upon first, so that if there should be any
contests it can get to work upon them as
speedily as possible.
There was also a story out to-day that the
committee intended reporting in favor of a
plan whioh should take all the patronage
from the elective officers of the Senate and
cause all appointments of Senate employes
to be made by the cauous direct. In rela
tion to the matter, however, it is known
that the committee has had all it Cuuld do
to consider the important subject of the
committees without going into the other
matter of the organization of the elective
officers of the Senate and the reorganiza
tion of the clerical and working forces. It
may be, though, that if good results grow
out of to-morrow’s session of the committee
it may call the caucus together Saturday,
and make its report. Nominations are now
being laid over, aud the new members of
the executive blanch of the government
cannot ba sworn in until they have been
ooufirmed, and cannot be confirmed until
the Senate has organized its committees.

terious creeping of paralysis and fall* in the
arms of bis friends.
Salmon P. Chase passed away peacefully
while seated at bis desk with his pen in bis
band.
Yioe President Wilson died after emerg
ing from the Senate bath room.
John Quinov Adams dropped in his chair
in the House of Representatives.
And so the list might bo prolonged. It
would include such brilliant names as Sena
tor Matt Carpeuter, Secretary of the Treas
ury Daniel Manning, ex-President Arthur,
the Hon. Thomas H. Benton, Senator Ferry
and others.
These men died suddenly antj without
warning, but a significant fact in conne >
tion with their deaths is that tbe cause in
e icn case was the same, it may have been
called "heart disease” or “apoplexy.” but
what ia heart disease or apoplexy? Simply
a result, not a cause. Overwork and ovev
indulgenoi weaken certain great organs.
From the weakness of these organs the blood
becomes poisoned, clots the heart and clogs
the brain. Do you ask wbat these organs
are? The kidneys and liver. None of these
great men would have died as they did had
their kidneys and liver been in order. Phy
sicians real zo this truth, and the more in
telligent men and women are beginning to
find it out. Not only this, but they have
found out the way of preventing this grad
ual undermining of the life and the coming
on of sudden death. Read what they say:
Dr. Hoe6ch of Berlin, Germanv, asserts:
“I have beau the of palpitation of
the heart, and upon taking the least cold
tbe symptons would become alarming. This
has entirely disappeared under the use of
Warner’s Safe Cure, and I am perfectly
well and strong.”
Dr. R. A. Gunn, dean of tbe United
States Medical College, New York, declares:
“I am independent enough and frank
enough to commend most heartily that
great remedy, Warner’s Safe Cure. ”
The Rev. J. E. Rankin, D. D., of
Washington, D. C., affirms: "I know
physicians of the highest character and
standing who prescribe and use Warner’s
Bnfe Cure for diseases of the kidneys and
urinary organs. I desire in the interest of
humanity to recommend this medicine.”
Great men may pass away suddenly and
leave a warning to others who are over
working or overindulging. The slender
thread of life may lie strained, but it need
not be snapped if care and the right pre
ventive remedy are used. Modern'life has
its strains, but it also nas its discoveries
which preserve tho health and lengthen tbe
life. And foremost among the discoveries
for the benefit of humanity is tbe great one
of which the scientific men speak.
