SILVER MEN STILL SORE.
Pugh Makes a Bitter Attack on the
President.
The Repeal Bill Alluded to as a Con
spiracy Equal in the Ruinous Conse
quences of Its Success to War, Res
tilence and Famine—Senator Stewart
Asserts That the President is in the
Saddle and Congress Helpless—Sen
ator Jones Contrasts the Situation in
This Country To-day With That
Which Preceded the Fall of Rome.
Washington, Oct. 23. —When the Senate
resumed its session this morning, Mr.
Peffer offered a resolution, which was re
ferred to the committee on Judiciary, re
citing the fact that a difference of opinion
exists as to the legal effect of the repeal
of a part of the act of Feb. 28,1879, by the
passage of the act of July 14, 1890, some
persons maintaining that the free, un
limited coinage of the silver dollar at the
ratio of 16 to 1 is still the law of
the land. It therefore directs the
committee on the judiciary to investigate
and report on the question at its earliest
convenience.
Mr. Sherman, rep., of Ohio, from the
committe on foreign relations, reported
the following House joint resolution:
Resolved. That it is the sense of con
gress that the acknowledgment of the gov
ernment and people of the United States be
tendered to the various foreign governments
of the world that have so generously and ef
fectively co-operated In the quadra-centen
nial exposition held in Chicago in commem
oration of the discovery of America by Chris
topher Columbus.
Resolved, That a certified copy of the fore
going resolutions be prepared in suitable
form by the Secretary of State of the United
States, and forwarded through the customary
diplomatic channels to the respective foreign
governments.
Mr. Sherman asked for the immediate
consideration of the resolution, as the ex
position was about to close.
hoar objects.
Mr. Hoar, rep., of Massachusetts, re
garded the resolution as an exceedingly
awkward and imperfect method of meet
ing the question. The mode of tendering
the thanks of the United States was by a
sort of circular. It seemed to him that
the President should make an express
and courteous acknowledgement to each
government by name.
Mr. Cullom, rep., of Illinois, agreed
with Mr. Hoar.
Mr. Sherman thought the resolution
came from the Secretary of the State, and
that it contained in precise form what
was desired.
The resolution was laid asideuntill2:2s
o’clock, when it was again taken up.
Mr. Hoar offered an amendment as fol
lows :
That the President of the United States he
requested to communicate to each foreign
government that has participated in said ex
position the acknowledgment of congress fcr
Its contribution.
The amendment was agreed to and the
joint resolution was passed as amended.
PUGH SPEAKS FOR SILVER.
The consideration of the bill to repeal
the purchasing clause of the Sherman act
was taken up, and Mr. Stewart, of Ne
vada, who was entitled to the floor,
yielded to Mr. PugH, of Alabama, who
proceeded to address the Senate against
the bill. Mr. Pugh said that he was sat
isfied that nine-tenths of the uncondi
tional repealers did not desire the free
coinage of stiver by an international
agreement, nor did he believe that Presi
dent Cleveland desired It, or would make
any earnest effort to secure it. He had
never said he expected or desired any in
ternational agreement. Mr. Pugh had
no doubt that a larger majority of the
people of the United States were against
the unconditional repeal of the Sherman
act than there ever was against the force
bill.
FAILURE OF THE COMPROMISE.
Referring to the recent compromise,
Mr. Pugh said the democratic senators
had united in the suirit of compromise
and concession and selected an equal num
ber of senators from thoso friendly to un
conditional repeal and those opposed to it,
and with the full knowledge of President
Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle that
such an effort was being made to bring
the democratic senators together upon
some common ground that could be en
acted into a law. They accomplished that
laudable undertaking so far as to agree
upon a compromise that secured the sig
natures of every democratic senator but
six. The fact was not considered doubt
ful that forty-three democratic senators
would have sanctioned the compromise
had not President Cleveland interposed
objection and demanded unconditional re
peal at all hazards. Mr. Pugh was now
satisfied that the effort at a compromise
had failed solely on account of President
Cleveland and his Secretary of the Treas
ury.
.
PROUD TO BE A FILIBUSTERER.
He was satisfied that he could not get a
sufficient number of senators to join him
in filibustering practices and he was
forced to record his vote against this dia
bolical measure and appeal to the people
to organize their forces for the great
battle of the future. Mr. Pugh said he
was willing if he had sufficient support to
resort to any and all means to defeat the
Pending bill. He was proud to
be called a filibustercr in de
feating a conspiracy equal in the
ruinous consequences of its success to
war, pestilence and famine. He would
rather be called a filibusterer by the con
spirators and lickspittles of the gold
kings than to be called a traitor or faith
less representative of the state and peo
ple who honored him with their trust and
confidence. As for himself he would do
bis duty as a senator as he understood it
and leave the consequences to God and
his couutr.y.

Mr. Stewart then resumed his speech.

This was a contradiction of terms, said
Mr. Jones, for the "best dollar” was tfiat 1
with the greatest purchasing power, and
the increased purchasing power came
from the scarcity of the dollar. So Mr.
Sherman favored “scarce money and
plenty of it.” He desired to say a few
words in behalf of the silver miners of
the United States. They • were a bravo
and hardy people, and tried by every
gauge of manhood and patriotism to re
spond to all tests.
FALL OF THE ROMAN HEFUBLIC.
In conclusion, Mr. Jones said: “The
Roman republic, Mr. President, did not
lose its liberties until the Seuate had de
generated into a mere instrument for re
cording the will of the chief magistrate.
MacCaulay has commented upon the ease
with which all democratic forms and the
names and titles appertaining to a re
publican form of government were pre
served in that commonwealth currently
with the absorption of all the powers of
the state executive, legislative and ju
dicial, in the hands of one man. But that
was a long time ago. Times change, and
men change with them. This is a very dif
ferent republic from that of Rome, and
although history, we are told, sometimes
repeats itself, i for one will not believe
that the Senate of the United States is
ever to become a subservient Senate. If,
however, thore is a majority in this
Senate in favor of repeal, let me admonish
those senators to pause and reflect that
there is no exigency whatever demanding
its passage, that no condition requires it,
and that it is excellent to have a giant's
strength, but it is tyrannous to use it like
a giant.” [Applause in the gallery].
The Senate then went into executive
session, and at 5:15 p. m., took a recess
until to-morrow morning.
CLEVELAND GRATIFIED.
He Never Doubted That the Uncondi
tional Repeal Bill Would Pass.
Washington, Oct. 25.—President Cleve
land came into the city from Woodley
this morning at 11 o’clock. The Presi
dent is very much gratified at the turn
affairs have taken in the Senate, though
he has believed all along that the uncon
ditional repeal bill would pass. There
have been times of anxiety, but never for
a moment has he wavered in his belief.
It was learned at the white house that
the President would have no suggestions
to make, as to an adjournment or recess
after congress passed the repeal bill,
though he was anxious to have tho
Chinese bill, extending the time in which
Chinamen could register, passed before the
dissolution of congress. It was the im
pression at the white house that no
message would be sent in until the regu
lar session in December.
A NAVAL OFFICER’S BAD BREAK.
Admiral Stanton Relieved from Com
mand at Rio Janeiro.
Washington, Oct. 25. —A dispatch from
Rio Janeiro published in a Ber
lin paper, stating that the American
naval commander had exchanged visits
and salutes with Admiral Mello, of the
insurgent fleet, proves well founded.
Secretary Herbert, when asked about
the Berlin report this morning, said lie
was going to find out the facts before the
day was over if possible. He stated that
an ordinary business visit by the Ameri
can commander to Admiral Mello might
be perfectly proper, but such an incident
as that reported he regarded as entirely
improbable.
THE STORY CONFIRMED.
The navy department authorities
learned late to-day, however, from
Rear Admiral Stanton, in command of
the United States naval forces at Rio de
Janeiro, that he had saluted the flag of
Admiral Mello, commanding the insur
gent fleet. This salute was unauthorized
by any instructions the admiral had re
ceived. It was an unfriendly act towards
a friendly power, and the Secretary of the
Navy issued an order detaching Admiral
Stanton from command of his squadron
and turning it over to Capt. Picking, the
next officer in rank. This was in reply to
a telegram of inquiry.
A BATCH OF NOMINATIONS.
The President Sends In a List of Names

Washington, Oct. 25.—The President

mander; Lieutenant (junior grade) Thomas
Rodgers, to be lieutenant; Ensign Hugh
Rodman, to be lieutenant, junior grade.
It had been supposed that the commit
tee on foreign relations would at its meet
ing to-day take up the nomination of C.
H. J. Taylor, the Kansas colored man, to
be minister to Bolivia, but the nomination
was not considered at all. The commit
tee will hold another meeting to-morrow,
which will be devoted to the bills provid
ing for the extension of the Chinese ex
clusion law.
NOMINATIONS CONFIRMED.
The Senate, in executive session to-day,
confirmed the following nominations:

SAVANNAH, GA., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 2*5, 1893.
VOTING CLOSE AT HAND.
The Repeal Bill May Be Passed By
the Senate on Saturday.
Only a Few More Speeches to Be Made
Before the Decks will Be Cleared for
Action on the Amemiments-None of
the Amendments to Be Adopted—The
Republicans Not to Offer a Bond
Amendment.
Washington, Oct. 25.—The prospect at
the close of tho session this afternoon
looked favorable to the beginning of vo
ting on the amendments to the repeal bill
by Friday. Senator Faulkner had been
canvassing the Senate during the after
noon with a view of asking the Senate to
fix a time when the vote could be taken,
but concluded not to make this request
for the reason that he was of the opinion
after getting the views of va
rious senators that the speech
making would be expedited
by allowing the business to drift. The
result of Mr. Faulkner’s inquiries was
the discovery that the speeches on the
main question would soon be exhausted.
Senator Jones will conclude to-morrow
and Senators Teller, Martin, Allen and
Stewart each desire to talk from an hour
to an hour and a half. So far as learned,
there will be no other speeches, and when
the last of these shall have been con
cluded, the voting will be the next thing
in order.
NO AMENDMENTS TO BE ADOPTED.
Later inquiry confirms the prediction
heretofore made that none of the amend
ments will receivl a sufficient vote to in
sure adoption, and it is possible that none
of them will receive as high a vote as
will be recorded in opposition to the bill.
The reason for this statement is found in
the fact that the silver men do not expect
any of them to carry, and therefore con
sider it unnecessary to attempt to have
any of them adopted. There is still
some talk to tho effect that some
of the more conservative repealers would
be willing to aid in preventing uncon
ditional repeal by voting for some of the
amendments, but a majority of the free
coinage men are of the opinion that noth
ing can be agreed upon that would be ad
vantageous to silver, and many of them
now announce their intention of voting
only for the free coinage amendment and
of giving no countenance to any of the
other amendments. This programme is,
of course, subject to change, as so many
other Senate programmes have changed
in the past few weeks.
SHERMAN NOT TO INTERFERE.
The republicans have abdandoned all
idea of introducing an amendment as a
party measure. Mr. Sherman had at
one time thought it would be wise on the
part of the republicans to offer a measure
for the settlement of the question, hut
he says now that he doubts the expedi
ency of interfering in any way with the
passage of the repeal bill as it stands.
He thinks that authority should be given
for bonds, but sees the difficulty of get
ting such a provision through at this
time and will, in all probability, not at
tempt it. The repeal republicans say
that to introduce a bond amendment,
at this time, will certainly bring on de
bate which might prove interminable and
result in the defeat of the bill. The sto
ries which have been sent from here stat
ing a purpose to present a bond amend
ment have therefore back of them only
the belief on Mr. Sherman’s part that
such amendment would be desirable if it
could be adopted, or if it could be offered
without endangering tho main question.
THE VOTING.
It is believed that if tho voting on the
amendments can bo begun early in tho
session Friday the final vote can be
reached Saturday, at the latest, and the
bill sent to the House of Representatives
for its action.
After the House shall have acted upon
the bill, adjournment until the beginning
of the regular session on the first Monday
in December will be in order. There is
very little doubt now that this adjourn
ment will be taken, although the demo
cratic managers of the Senate have not
yet given the subject sufficient consider
ation to feel justified in making an official
announcement.
BLAND GIVES CP HOPE.
The last doubt as to what might be
done in the Senate on the repeal bill
seemed to be removed this morning when
Mr.ißland, of Missouri, the great free
silver champion of the House gave up all
hope. He had just returned from the
Senate, where he had been conferring
with the silver leaders. He said to an
Associated Press reporter that he had no
idea that any further effort wonld be
made to prevent a vote on the Voorhees
hill in the Senate, and that the speeches
would be made, and when completed a
vote would come.
He was asked what would be done when
the bill came over to the house, and said:
“I am, of course, opposed to that bill, and
to all compromises that do not recognize
silver as money. The bill ought to be
referred to the coinage committee, but
being a House bill, it can be taken from
the speaker's table, and the Senate
amendments concurred in without refer
ence to a committee.”
Mr. Bland was asked if the silver men
would force the reporters to have a quo
rum. |‘Oh, yes,” he replied, “they will
have to have their quorum here to pass
tho bill.”
Mr. Tracey, of New York, says that ho
very much fears that the repealers will
not have a quorum when the bill reaches
the House, and is convinced that the
silver men are ready to delay action
unless there is a positive quorum present
in favor of repeal. Ho thinks the House
might be called upon to act any time
within twenty-four hours.
REV. HADDAWAY’S ILLNESS.
He Was Still Alive Last Night But
Very Low.
Washington, Oct. 25.—Rev. I)r. Samuel
Haddawuy, chaplain of the House of
Representatives, was reported to be still
alive at a late hour to-night, though very
low’.
Dr. Haddaway came to Washington a
number of years ago and has since been
pastor of the Mv. Veruon Methodist
Episcopal church, south.
When Rev. W. H. Milburn, the blind
chaplain, was transferred from the House
and made chaplain of the Senate, he was
succeeded by Dr. Haddaway.
Chaplain Haddaway’s ailment is
Bright's disease.
Cholera at Riga.

TRAMPS IN A DEATH TRAP.
A Freight Train on Which They Were
Riding Crashed Into Another.
Houston, Tex., Oct. 35.—At Stella,
eight miles from here, the east-bound
local freight was sidetracked. The west
bound California express freight came
Hying along at a 30-mile pace.
The engine and ten ears passed safely,
but the eleventh ear jumped the track,
and was followed by thqother cars. They
struck the east-bound engine with ter
rific force, badly wrecking it.
How the engineer and fireman escaped
even slight injury is a mystery, as the
engine, besides beiug smashed, is covered
with debris.
AT LEAST THREE LIVES LOST.
Two unknown tramps were killed out
right. •
John Door, of Ruling, was also killed.
Gabe Colbert had his leg and shoulder
broken and received internal injuries
which will probably result fatally
qA man who claims to be from Omaha,
be: refuses to divulge his name, is also
badly injuried.
Conductor Platt was thrown through a
barbed-wire fence and was badly cut.
A red-beaded tramp was whirled with
force through an end of a window. He
was also hurt.
It is reported that a number of tramps
are still in the. wreck, but the officials can
give no information on this subject.
Trains are delayed.
FOUR LIVES CRUSHED OUT.
The Men Stealing a Ride in a Freight
Car When it Was Wrecked.
Pittsburg, Pa., Oct. 25.—Four men
were killed in a wreck on the Pennsylva
nia railroad in this city at 6 o’clock this
afternoon a few blocks from where the
Dock street horror occurred. A freight
train was boarded at Market street by
five men who got into a cow’ car. Two
squares away the ear jumped the track
and half a dozen cars "’ere tilted on end
and crashed into a west-bound train of
empty ears. The car in which the men
were sitting was hurled iuto the middle
of a grinding mass, and four were in
stantly killed and one injured.
It is almost Impossible to identify three
of the dead, owing to their being crushed
out of recognition. The fourth is known
to lie Richard Doyle, of Pittsburg, a rail
roader out of work. Two of them were
boilermakers and the fourth a switchmun.
They were well dressed, and the man who
was injured says they came from Illinois
or Ohio and had families. Frank Ward,
of Burlington. la., was the only man who
escaped. He says that Frederick Grim
inell was one of the men killed. They
were all bound for Philadelphia. Ten cars
loaded with oil and lumber were wrecked
and the cod tents destroyed, and six empty
cars were smashed.
STONE TELLS A NEW STORY.
He Now Claims That He Killed the
Wrattan Family Alone.
Washington, Ind., Oct. 25.—James
Stone, who some days ago confessed that
lie, with five me:. .“ ,v in prison, murdered
the Wrattan family in Daviess county a
few weeks %go, made anothsr confession
last night to parties in tnis city. Stone
says that ho alone murdered the
Wrattan family. He exonerates tho
men implicated in his first
confession. He told the officers
where to find the weapons with which
the deed was done. The officers went out
this morning beforo daylight and found
them where Stone had stated. A small
bloody axe and a corn knife wore hidden
under a log in a piece of woods close by
the scene of the tragedy. Tho weapons
are now in possession of the grand jury.
It is the opinion that Stone may, or may
not. he telling the truth. Ho has the
reputation of being a notorious liar. It is
not believed that he did the deed alone.
A WHITE CAP SLAIN.
He Was One of a Band of Eight Men
Who Attacked a Negro.
Monroe, La., Oct. 25. —Monday night at
12 o’clock, eight armed men, alleged
white caps or regulators, surrounded the
house of a negro near Ouachita City and
broke down the door. The negro inside
fired a charge of buck-shot at the crowd
on the outside and J. J. Jackson fell, badly
wounded. The balance of tho party ran.
They did not return to see what had be
eomo of their comrade. At 10 o’clock
several parties went to Jackson and found
him still alive. His face was riddled
with shot. He was brought here last
night and will probably die. It is ru
mored that the negro has been killed, but
thore is no proof. The parties who were
with Jackson are all known and are of
high standing.
A MAIL RIDER WAYLAID.
He is Found Insensible in the Woods
and His Bags Rifled.
Birmingham, Ala., Oct. 25.—A special
to tho Age-Herald from Camden, Ala.,
says: “Mark Montgomery, the negro
mail-rider between Alberta and Camden,
disappeared last week, and search was
made for him. The searchers found tho
mail bags in the woods cut open. A day
later Montgomery was found. He had
been terribly beaten, and was uncon
scious. His mind is clear at intervals.
He says he knows who robbed and beat
him. He says a white man did it, but he
has not told .vet who the white man is. If
he continues to get better, he will be able
to tell all about the whole affair. He
says others wore there besides the man
who struck him. The mail bags were
rifled.”
AN EXCHANGE A LITTLE LATE.
Resolutions Passed Denouncing the
Tardiness of the Senate.
St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 25.—The cotton
exchange of this city to-day adopted re
solutions denouncing the Senate of the
United States as: “Continuing tho
throttling and depression of commerce,
and to diminish the value of all the
principal agricultural products, thereby
bringing the people and tho government
to tho verge of bankruptcy, by failure to
to act upon the silver question.” They
further criticise Senators Vest and Cock
rell severely for seeking conditional legis

ately to-day. Opt. F. M. S.ymonds, su
perintendent of marine transportation,
was the master of ceremonies, and a more
unique celebration would be hard to con
ceive. The proverbial faultless weather
of tho fair seemed brighter than ever,
and the day’s festivities were not w.th
out a good crowd.
To-night the parade was repeated, the
boats being illuminated with red fire and
Chinese lanterns.
A proposition to appropriate 51,500 for
the closing exercises, was voted down be
cause the affairs of the board are so tan
gled up that nobody know whether it
had 51,000 to appropriate.

FRANCE WILD OVER RUSSIA.
Even Admiral Avalan Carried Away
by tho Enthusiasm.
Paris, Oct. 25,—Tho most notable fea
ture of the Gaia performance, given last
night at tho opera house in honor of the
visiting Russians, was the ballet, which
is pronounced to have been tho llnost ever
produced in France. Upon the conclusion
of the performance the artists, attired in
Russian costumes, passed before the cur
tain, and were received with frenzied
plaudits by the spectators. One of tho
performers, who was dressed to represent
I van tho Terrible, sang the Russian
anthem, and the whole house rose, cheer
ing and crying, "Vivo I.a Uusaie, Vive La
France” nnd “Vivo l’AUiance."
A cannon shot from the rear of the
stage ushered in the final scene, an apoth
eosis of peace. This evoked further enthu
siastic cheering, and then the spectators
joined in singing the Marseillaise.
ADMIRAL AVALAN LOSES UIS HEAD.
Admiral Avalan was evidently carried
away by the enthusiasm everywhere
manifested, and, springing to his foot,
faced the audience and shouted Vivo
la France!” To describe the scene that
followed would be well nigh impossible.
Tho audience was absolutely delirious
with patriotic enthusiasm, and it is
doubtful if tiie opera house, or any othor
place of public entertainment, had ever
furnished such a scone of wild excite
ment.
A STATUETTE TO THE RUSSIANS.
The municipality of Paris, in order to
mark its appreciation of the visit of the
Russian sailors to tho capital of France,
proposes to erect a statue in honor of
Russia near the Arc de Triomphe.
An accident, which occurred at tho
Grand opera house last night, is being
considerably discussed on all sides to-day.
It appears that M Challetnol-I.ni our,
president of the senate, finding that tho
senate box was not divided from that of
tho president of the chamber
of deputies, M. Etienne, ex
pressed astonishment and some indigna
tion at tho fact, and eventually withdrew
with his feathers very much ruffled. The
matter may lend to an angry encounter
between the president of the senate and
tho president of tho chamber of depu
ties.
It is reported in this city that the czar
has determined to pay a visit to Paris
next spring, tho visit being timed so as to
conclude with the grand naval review
which is planned to take place at Genoa
in the early part of next year in the pres
ence of Emperor William of Germany and
King Hubert of Italy.

from Salisbury to the Charlotte Observer
tells of the death to-day of Rev. 'J. C.
Price, D. D., the eminent southern negro
orator and president of Livingstono
college at Salisbury. Dr. Price was not
quite 40years old. He was not at all tho
Fred Douglass type of negro and realized
that the southern white man was the
negro’s friend. His relations with promi
nent southern white men were most
cordial. Dr. Price was noted for his
eloquence. Ho was black, a
thorough negro. Ho was in
many respects a remarkable man. He
died at his residence at Livingston college
of Bright’s disease at about 1 p. m. He
was appointed by President Cleveland
during his first term as minister to Li
beria, but declined, preferring to devote
his energies to the advancement of the
youth of his race. He had preached by

MURDER IN A BARROOM.
Raiford Carry Shot By Willian Jelow
at Brunswick.
The Murderer Flees and is Detected
Fleeing Down the River in a Row
Boat-The Mate of a Schooner Effects
His Capture The Killing Unpro
voked- A Weird Scene.
Brunswick, Ga., Oct. 25.—William
Jelow shot and killed Raiford Curry to
night at 6:30 o'clock in William McClure’s
barroom, known as “Tho Office,” and
located in the rear of a vacant building
on tho curner of George and Bay street*.
The murder was cold-blooded and cow
ardly, the result of a man's mind frenzied
by drink, and the refusal of the barkeeper
to give him more. The murderer was a.
roustabout. Tho murdered man was a
peaceful cripple, who of lato had tried to
lead a quiet' life, moving about tho
streets on crutches, while the stump of
one limb from above the knee dangled, a
reminder of an accident during his work
on a pile driver. Jelow, tho murderer,
staggered iuto the bar and called for a
ilriuk. Frank Scott, the bartender, re
fused to hand it out, saying: ‘'Billy,
you’ve had enough.” “You —," ex
claimed Jolow, “you say I’m drunk; take
that,” and, as he talked, out came his
pistol, the trigger was pulled, and tho
bullet sped harmlessly into the wall.
Curry, who was standing peaceably by,
an onlooker of the scene, drew away.
“Take tins ” yelled Jelow, as he backed
out of the door, and again a ball sped on
ward, this time stricking Curry, who be
gan falling, “nml this,” and
again the ball struck Curry, preci
pitating his full to the floor.
Jelow backed further away and Scott ran
out facing him, clearing Curry’s pros
trate form at. ouo bound. Again the pig
tol whs raised, but a p.isserby, Horm-W
Robinson, rushed to the murderer’s side
and grasped his arm.
THE SCENE DRAMATIC.
The scene was dramatic. In a low
ceiled, foul smelling barroom to the left,
the murdered man lay cold in death: in
front of the closed doors behind which
McClure pushed heavily, Hcott, the bar
tender stood. Fifty feet in front of him,
with arm uplifted, and pistol mined, Jelow
was standing, while to his arm a citizen
clung and begged him not to shoot.
The moon, in all its full beauty,
floodegl tho place with light. But
the real drama was not yet ended and
tho spectators grow more numerous.
With an oath the murderer sprang from
the side of Robinson and fled for safety.
Tho barroom doors wore opened and on
tho floor the victim lay bathed in Ida
life’s blood, his crutches crossed as he
had fallen, unspeaking witnesses to his
physical helplessness while living, his
body drawn and his features distorted by
such agonies as only a horrible death can
make. Officers arrived and with them
tho small crowd slightly increased.
From under the body the crutches wera
drawn and the limbs straightened out.
From his breast two streams of blood had
flowed, making the pool around him. The
people were there, and as they stood view
ing the body, Thos. Hackett, Jr., bent
over and parted his clothing. Around
the neck and extending to the breast by a
piece of cord, tho emblem of tho sacred
heart, was disclosed to view soaked in its
wearer’s blood. Ho had worn it as a gift
from the Savannah Sisters of Mercy, who
nursed him when he lost his limb and
tried to save his soul.
FATHRB HENNKBSY ON THE SCENE.
A silent witness of this scene waa
Father Henne-isy, who stood amidst
the minglod people and moved
his lips in appeals for mercy
for tho lost boy. Noue heard
tho words he whispered, but all knew tho
meaning of his attitude It was a prayer
that noodod no interpretation. Curry’s
arms were folded, tho crowd dispersed,
the doors were closed and Officer I-evy
took charge, and the next act was on.
Fart of tho small band started
the search for Jelow. Sheriff Berne
on horseback rode at breakneck
speed through the streets and woods post
ing the guards. But this proved unnec
essary, for across the bow of his schooner.
Mate Henry Heywood observed a
man pulling hard against the
tide. Down went his boat and into it
sprang Heywood. Over the water lb
shot. “Stop” was the command given.
The pursued dropped his oars and said, “I
givo up, don't shoot.’’ It was Jelow, and
turning his boat around, he rowed silently
to shore, his captor following with a drawn
pistol. On the wharf Lee Curry stood
swearing vengeance against his brother’s
murderer when once ashore. In the nick
of tirno help arrived, and Curry was led
off and Jelow carried to Jail. Sheriff Ber
rie returned, and through the iron bars
Jelow made his statement. He denied
any intention to kill Curry, and said ha
shot at Attendant Olsen in self-defense.
Jelow has a son who bears a good reputa
tion.
The barroom where the killing oc
curred was a scene of another murder
during this epidemic, and this to-night
increases its ill reputation. Mayor Lamb
will hold an Inquest to-morrow. The
coroner is away, and Justice Coker sick.
To the horrors of the epidemic, three
murders have been added. The people
have had enough. They cannot stand
much more.
