EXPERTS, FACING MANY PER
ILS, CLIMB TO PELEE’S CRA
TER AND LOOK DOWN INTO
THE AWFUL DEPTHS.
KINGSTOWN. St. Vincent. Saturday,
June 7.—During the great eruption of
Mont Pelee. Island of Martinique, yester
day tnomlnj. the detonations were heard
tn the neighboring islands and heavy
clouds of smoke issued simultaneously
from Souriere volcano, on this Island,
which alarmed the inhabitants. The Is
land of St. Lucia was obscured by dust
to a distance of 3 miles and a steamship
experienced difficulty in finding the harbor
of Castries.
At X o’clock in the afternoon of Friday
pitch darkness prevailed here.
The three Americans. Professor Jagger,
the geologist of Harvard university; Dr.
Hovey, assistant curator of the Museum
of Natural History. New York, and
George C. Curtis, who ascended the Sou
friere May XI. made another ‘ascent on
Thursday. They entered a dense, dusty
fog. which Ith ped ed their progress as they
made their way up the precipitous train
around the awful cliffs with extraordinary
courage and perseverance and once more
reached the edge of the crater, on the
east side, reaching an altitude of 3.300 feet
above the sea. carrying with them an
aneroid barometer.
They beard water boiling and scattering
tn the depths of the crater, but nothing
could be seen through the fog. though the
party waited a considerable time. The
ascent occupied five hours. The return
of settlers to the devastated area Is dis
couraged by Professor Jagger, who is of
the opinion that the crater in continuing
active may emit poisonous gases at any
moment without warning and cause the
death of many people from asphyxiation.
SPARTANBURG MANIS
WHIPPED BY CITIZENS
SPARTANBURG. S. C.. June I®.—Last
Bight at W o'clock a party of seventy-five
or more men went to the residence of J.
C. Perry, on Brawley street, and finding
him at home took the man to Austin
Grove. 1 mile from the city, and adminis
tered a severe castigation on his bare
back with leather straps in the hands of
twenty-five of the crowd.
Only the coolness of a few men pre
vented a lynching, as the men were deter
mined upon a mode of punishment com
mensurate with guilt.
Officers overtook the crowd and rescued
the man from the hands of the mob. but
not until he had been beaten almost into
Insensibility. They placed him on a train
going toward Atlanta. It is safe to as
sume Perry will never return, if he values
his health.
The affair last night was the result of
the conduct of Perry toward little girls
passing on way from school, who stopped
tn his place of business daily, attracting
attention and suspicion.
Several days ago a gentleman conduct
ing a candy factory investigated the mat
ter and his worst fears, he says, were
confirmed. Then it was that citizens de
termined the man should be punished and
the affair last night resulted.
Perry Is a married man of family, 40
years old. and comfortably fixed in this
world's goods.
The affair created the greatest sensation
aver known in this dty.

Relates an Experience Which, He Says,
Taught Him a Valuable Lesson.
“I have had an experience which taught
me a valuable lesson." said the Hon.
Thomas F. Madden, former mayor of St.
Ignace, Mich., to a reporter the other
day.
"It was while crossing the Gulf of
Mexico.” he continued, “in an attempt to
recover my health, that the suggestion
came to me. For twenty years I had been
a sufferer from Indigestion. It tortured
me. I could not eat a hearty meal and
even the lightest food distressed me. I
doctored with possibly eight different phy
sicians. but grew worse all the time.
"This chronic Indigestion brought on a
whole train’of other troubles. I became
nervous, suffered from violent headaches
and biliousness, and think I would have
given every cent I possessed to find relief.
But I became more miserable, and finally
In despair I determined to take a southern
trip.
“On the steamer bound for Galveston
I chanced to see an advertisement of Dr.
Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, and
the argument struck me forcibly that a
medicine which made good blood must be
a cure for stomach trouble. As soon as
we landed I purchased a box of Dr. Wil
liams' Pink Pills and they gave me almost
Instantaneous relief. If It had not been
for them I think I should have starved to
death. I grew constantly better and in a
short time I was cured.
“It is flow over a year since these pills
cured me. My stomach is sound and my
digestion Is perfect. I can eat heartily
of the richest food, my nerves are quiet,
my blood good and I feel well and strong.
I have been made a well man by Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People.”

FINE
W. C. WEBB, CONVICTED OF FOR
GERY, IS GIVEN A LIGHT SEN
TENCE BY JUDGE CANDLER.
MAN WAS IN LOVE.
W. C. Webb, Jr., for complicity in the
llufamous “straw bond” cases was Tues
day morning fined $125 by Judge Candler,
this fine to Include the costs of the case.
These straw bond cases created a great
deal of excitement in court circles when
they were revealed, and two men have
already been found guilty and sentenced
In connection with them. It was charged
that Jud Glenn, a lawyer, a man named
Garner and Webb were professional
bondsmen, and that they forged the names
of several parties to straw bonds, which
they worked off in several of the courts In
this city.
Glenn and Garner were soon caught, and
were sentenced. Webb escaped from the
city, and there was quite a romance con
nected with his capture. He left Atlanta
and went to South Georgia, where, under
an assumed name, he entered business.
He fell in love with a young lady in South
Georgia, but her parents for some reason
suspected him and notified ths Atlanta
police. Instead of going to the altar,
Webb went to jail. Judge Candler, In
passing sentence Tuesday, said that
he did not think Webb was as guilty as
the other men, and that, owing to his
past good behavior, he would be as light
as possible. Webb was found guilty of
forgery, with the recommendation that
the crime be treated as a misdemeanor.
The straw bonds were given in a number
of criminal cases. Glenn, being a lawyer,
had access to the prisoners and could ar
range for the bonds. The name of an un
cle of Glenn was then forged to the bonds,
and the prisoners released. The officers,
tn taking the bonds, would look at the
tax digest, and as Glenn's uncle had prop
erty. the prisoners were given their liber
ty. It was not until one of the prisoners
skipped his bond and the officers tried to
collect the amount of the bond that ths
forgeries were discovered.

IS BEING ENLARGED
MILLEDGEILLE, Gx, June 10.—One of
the twin buildings at the State Sanitarium,
which are being constructed to accommo
date patients now in the jails of Georgia,
is rapidly nearing completion. The
legislature, at the session before the last,
appropriated $150,000 for the construction
and finishing of these two buildings. Os
this sum, SIO,OOO was reserved for furnish
ings and the remainder used in construct
ing the buildings, making the actual cost
of each building $70,000. The foundations
for the second building are just being
laid, and the work on It will be pushed
as rapidly as possible. These buildings
are what is known as the radiating type,
and represent the most modern ideas con
cerning sanitarium buildings. They will
be most admirably adapted for the pur
pose for which they are Intended, And
will be quite an addition to the already
splendidly equipped plant. The Georgia
State Sanitarium is at present the larg

intendent, and the completion of these two
buildings will make It rank among the
two or three largest In the world.

played a part In a romantic affair at
Hickory, N. C., Friday—the chasing of
the fair country maiden, Miss Lulu Ward,
by Will Winkler and Prof. J. Louts Bo
lick, her two lovers, who had followed
her to town, where she had come to ad
vise with friends as to the choice between
the two. The boys, who were both equip
ped with license, were greatly agitated
during the few hours she'was deciding
whose better half she would be. The de
cision was finally in favor of Will Wink
ler, her old and long-time lover, who had
deferred the proposal on account of his
bsyshfulness. At early twilight, the cou
ple hurried to the parsonage, where they,
were made husband and wife by Rev. Mr.
Boone. Immediately thereafter the groom
with his blushing and seemingly happy
bride, made his departure, leaving the
professor, who is now consoling himself
with the thought “that there are newer

TO SERVE
STITE
IN EVENT OF JUDGE LEWIS RE
SIGNING THERE ARE MANY
WHO WOULD BE WILLING TO
SERVE.
In event Justice Hal T. Lewis resigns
from the supreme court there will be an
interesting race on for the position which
will be a>ade vacant by his resignation.
Judge John S. Candler, of DeKalb; Judge
Howard Van Epps, of Fulton; Col. B. F.
Abbott, of Fulton; Judge W. R. Ham
mond. of Fulton; Judge John W. Bennett,
of Glynn; Judge Roberts, of Dodge;
Judge George F. Gober, of Cobb; Cop. R.
T. Fodche, of Floyd, and numerous oth
ers may enter the race to succeed Justice
Lewis. , '
It It understood that several of the can
didates have already begun a campaign
for the position. The next state conven
tion will have to decide how the successor
to Justice Lewis shall be named, as It
is understood that his resignation will not
go into effect until Ocober Ist, the day
of the next general election. The con
stitution of the state says that in event
of a vacancy on the supreme court the
governor shall have the power to appoint
until the next general election, and from
what can be learned Justice Lewis will
not resign, so to speak, until October 1.
This, of course, takes the matter out of
the hands of the governor and puts It
up to the next convention.
When the state Democratic committee
met here on March 29 the following rule
regarding vacancies was adopted:
“Rule No. IT. Resolved, That in case
a vacancy occuring In the office of judge
or solicitor general In any of the circuits
the chairman of the state committee shall
call for a nominating primary to fill said
vacancy In ample time before an election
for said vacancy shhll be had."
According to the construction placed
on this rule by prominent politicians and
others It is believed that It applies to
vacancies in the supreme court or any
other statehouse offices and that under
that rule the election of a successor to
Justice Lewis will be determined by a
primary. If a primary is held It will be
ordered .for the same day in all of the
counties in the state.
There are some who contend that the
matter will go Into the state convention,
and that the convention will undertake
the nomination of Justice Lewis’ succes
sor. There is considerable interest being
manifested in the race today and new
candidates are cropping out in all sec
tions of Georgia.
Judge Spencer R. Atkinson, chairman
of the railroad commission, who has serv
ed several years as a supreme court jus
tice, is being urged to become a candidate
for the place, but it is not thought likely
that he will run. Judge William H. Fel
ton, of Bibb, is also being urged to run,
but nothing definite has been heard from
him.
him. Judge A. W. Fite, of Bartow, was in
Atlanta this morning and he stated that
he would not be a candidate.
It is a source of general regret that
Justice Lewis has found it necessary to
resign. He was generally regarded as one
of the ablest lawyers in the state and one
of the finest justices on the bench. HI
health, however, caused him to determine
to resign. He is expected to return from
Atlantic City, N. J., some time soon. He
has been at the famous resort for sever
al weeks.

AUSTELL, June 10.—A daring escape
was made from the police station here
last night by a burly negro who had been
arrested during the day for larceny. The
negro set fire to the station house, which
was built of wood, and when the flames
had eaten a hole large enough for him to

late to prevent the negro from getting
away, and now this thriving town Is with

out the only prisoner that It has had for
several weeks.
Marshal Brewer, who is chief of police
and also .day and night watch, is very
much worried over the affair, as It Is the
first prisoner that he has ever had In cus

He is almost In tears. It is said, because
police headquarters have been destroyed.'

SENATOR^HANNA CLAIMS
PANAMA IS A WINNER
WASHINGTON, June 10.—Hanna and
the other advocates of Pdnama for the
American canal are today claiming
enough votes In the senate to win.
They have a powerful lobby with all
the money they need and their claims
may be verified.
They expect to pass the Spooner sub
stitute, which authorizes the president to
buy the Panama canal, if the titles are
clear. ' This means an endless delay in
looking up titles, and probably no canal
at all. They are claiming forty-five votes,
including several southern democrats.

ROOSEVELT AND OHIO SENA
TOR HAVE SEVERED CORDIAL
RELATIONS AS RESULT OF
OHIO POLITICS.
WASHINGTON. June ».—President
Roosevelt and the chairmkn of the Re
publican National Committee, Senator
Hanna. have practically severed
the cordial relations which have existed
between them since Roosevelt tecanu
president.
Their quarrel is the result of charges
filed against Federal officeholders In
Cleveland, Ohio, by Representative Bur
ton. of that district.
The president is determined to investi
gate.-
Senator Hanna is strongly opposed to
such a course.
Friends of both say a serious break is
threatened. Burton, who is one of the
strongest Republicans In congress, has re
fused to stand for renomlnatlon because
bls choice for chairman of the Cleveland
Republican district committee. Paul How
land, was ignored. He filed with Roose
velt charges of pernicious political activi
ty against four Federal officeholders,
who are Hanna's men.
Mr. Roosevelt was very much surprised
and Impressed by the formal charges,
but promised no action at the time. He
sent for Senator Hanna and asked hlna
if the four men were guilty. Senator
Hanna replied that he had graves doubts
about It. The president said he wag In
clined to investigate and the senato*
urged him strongly not to do so, insist
ing that it was not a violation of orders
for Federal officeholders of that class to
interest themselves in politics. The con
ference lasted an hour and broke up with
the president resolved to bring an In
vestigation, tn spite of the wishes of Sen
ator Hanna.
Democrats say that the Ohio fractional
fight will give them the Cleveland dis
trict.#
There Is no telling where the Roosevelt-
Hanna split may end. Republicans re
gard it as a very dangerous breach.
MARK HANNA EAGER
TO HEAD HIS PARTY
WASHINGTON. D. CL June 10—Sena
tor Foraker, of Ohio, who Is trying to
wrest from Senator Hanna the control
of the Ohio Republican machine, has
dipped In the Hanna-Roosevelt quarrel.
He called on the president and urged him
to investigate the charges made by Rep
resentative Burton against Hanna’s men
in Cleveland.
It was announced last night that James
Garfield, the newly appointed civil service
commissioner, would go to Cleveland to
morrow to Investigate the charges, which
means that Roosevelt and Hanna are
right on the verge of a declaration of war.
Hanna, it will be remembered. Intimated
to the president If he Investigated the
charges of pernicious political activity
against his (Hanna’s) friends, in federal
offices, their friendship would be severed.
Foraker wants to run Burton against
Hanna for the senate next year, but Bur
ton is holding back and declaring he does
not want the job. It Is believed he will
change his mind If the great family row of
Republicans in Washington is not patched
up. The Foraker faction thinks Hanna
can be beat by Burton.
Hanna's friends say he will welcome a
split with Roosevelt, as It will afford him
an opportunity to go after the presiden
tial nomination In 1904 against Roosevelt.
They say the great silent sentiment of
Republicanism is for Hanna.
Hanna at Whitehouse.
Senator Hanna had a long conference
with the president today. At the conclu
sion of the Interview he talked freely re
garding the published intention of Mr.
Burton, of Ohio, to withdraw from the
race for congress ewing io the fact that
he _had not been permitted to name the
chclmjan of the district committee.
Senator Hanna, also (stated that the civil
service commission nad examined Into
Mr. Burton’s charges that certain federal
office holders In Ohio had taken an ac
tive part in politics and had failed to find
anything in them that constituted a vio
lation of the civil service law. As a re
sult, the president has ('included not to
send letters to the Cleveland officers cen
suring them for pernicious activity in pol
itics. With some warmth Senator Hanna
said:
“The mere fact that a man holds pub
lic office does not necessarily mean that
he should resign his rights of citizenship.’
The senator scouted the Idea of his
falling out with the president on this
matter and seemed tu feel that he had
been put in a false light through Mr. Bur
ton's action.
Senator Hanna is usually exceedingly
reticent when leaving the white house,
but today he spoke freely and had ap
parently no -ietiro to withhold anything
oearing on this matter.
