SIMPLE LARCENY.
IS THE CHARGE AGAINST C. C. AND
JOHN T. CRUMP.
THE SITUATION FROM A DEMO
CRATIC POINT OF VIEW
THEY WERE ARRESTED
Yesterday Afternoon—S. P. Tannery
of South Carolina the Accuser—
They Cave Bond—The
Trial Tomorrow.
The Views of an Antl-HIU Man who
Says the Fight Will be Kept up-
Hlll Can't be Headed Off.
Satu day afternoon the police car
ried two white men to theetationhonae,
and soon there was a considerable
( crowd around the calaboose.
It developed that the two men were
Messrs. C. C. and John T. Crump,
of Oconee county, South Carolina, and
that they bad been arrested on the
strength of a warrant charging them
with simple larceny, and an allegation
that they had stolen a horse.
The accuser was Mr. S. P. Tannery,
who lives in South Carolina in Oconee
county. Mr. Tannery says that two
days ago he missed bis horse and at once
suspected these two men of having com
mitted the theft.
He immediately Btarted ont with his
son ai d heeded towards Georgia, having
learned that they bad come in this di
rection. He traced them through
Franklin county and on to this city.
Yesterday afternoon he sent the offl
cers to Cheney and Young’s stable?
where the two men were found and
i •'ey were at once arrested and brought
to the station house, to await the course
of events.
The horse alleged to have been stolen
was in the possession of these two men
and was taken in hand by the arresting
(filcers.
The Messrs. Crump employed Judge
George O. Thomas to represent then',
and he took charge of their side of tbi
case, and will see that their side is up-
h Id in the courts to which the csbc
may be carried.
A reporter sought Judge Thomas and
asked what waa in the case, to which
he replied:
“Nothfog, absolutely nothing. It is
all blufi', and you will see this is true,
as soon as the case ie investigated.”
“You see,” said the Judge, “that Mr.
J. T. Crump was indebted to S. P. Tan
nery, the pr ?eculor, and this warrant
waa issued, in my opinion, more for the
purpose of collecting the debt than to
punish a criminal. The horse charge d
to have been stolen, was the property
of J. T. Crump and has been for more
than three years, and this
is not denied by the prosecutor.
Mr. Tannery firmly believes the horse
waa stolen, and Messrs. Crump emphat
ically deny this.
Judge Evans, before whom the war
rant was taken our, fixed the bondB of
the two men at two hundred dollars
eaob, and Mr. R. K. Reaves went upon
the bonds as security aud Mecsrs Crump
Were released from custody.
The committal trial will be held to
morrow morning before Judge Cobb at
the court house.

IN NEW YORK
HILL MEN UNITED.
N*w York, Feb. 27.—The Herald's
Washington correspondent telegraphs
his paper thus: The split in the Dem
ocratic party in New York is still a
topic of conversation about the capitoL
The politicians seem to take even more
interest in the peculiar sitnation of af
fairs there than they do in either the
troublesome silver question or the tariff.
The Hill men present a united front
and are confident even to aggressive
ness. They admit, however, that Mr.
Hill has now played his trump card,
and will have to sit back and await the
verdict of the country at large.
"Should the Cleveland men, ” said one
of Mr. Hill’s lieutenants, "circulate pe
titions all over the state of New York,
and get them signed by 10,000 Demo
crats with their addressee oppoeite, de
claring that they wonld not, under any
circumstances, vote the Democratic
ticket if Mr. Hill waa the choice of the
Chicago convention, it wonld quite ef
fectually remove Mr. Hill’s chance* for
the presidency."
The anti-Hill men, while by no means
as confident as their opponents, are folly
as aggressive, and are not wasting
mnch time in talking. Mr. DeWitt
Warner has come to be regarded as the
leader of the Cleveland faction in the
lower honse.
When asked what he thought was the
extent and meaning of the revolt against
Hill, he said : "It is not so mnch a
fight on Hill as it is a revolt against the
machine back of him. It is an uprising
of tbe Democratic voters of New York,
who now propose to have seme voice in
politics. ” {
"Yon expect to get recognition from
the Chicago convention?”
"Candidly, we do. Of course, the
burden of proof will rest with us, for
the delegates elected last Monday are
entitled to tbe presumption that they
are legally entitled to seats in the Chi
cago convention. What we hope and
expect to do is to convince the Chicago
convention—which is the tribunal from
which there ia no appeal in such mat
ters >s this—that we, instead of the
Hil d legates, represent a majority of
the democratic votes of the empire
state. If we do that, we will oust the
Hill men and seat onr delegates. ' If we
fail, onr case as delegates will fall to
the ground.”
"Will the fight be abandoned should
the Chicago convention decline to seat
yonr delegates?”
"The fight will not be abondoned so
far as New York is concerned. It has
been organized for the purpose of wip
ing ont of existence the machine that
now dominates and oontrols the politics
of New York, and as a movement it wiu
not cease until that end is accom
plished. ”
"Do yon mean that the fight will be
carried beyond the Chicago convention?
Do you mean, in case that Hilt is the
nominee of the Chicago convention,
that the men with whom yon are iden
tified wonld make an open fight on the
Democratic ticket.?”
Mr. Warner dodged this question by
saying; "The fight is not a national one,
bat a State affair altogether. We will
not attempt to carry it beyond New
York; there will be no effort made to
extend an anti-Hill organisation into
Other States.
Fatal Aepideut In Texas.
Palestine, Fe|>. 27.—A fearful acci
dent occurred in the railroad yards at
6 o’clock, which resulted in the instant
death of Fred Seiler, night car inspector,
and fatally injuring ex-City Marshall

the platform of a) caboose at the rear
end of a train that waa being backed on
to a side track.
The colored switchman, Galley John
son, it is said, turned the wrong switch,
and the car the two men were on atrnck

crushing the unsuspecting victims to
death. Hanna lived twenty mmntes.
He leaves a wife, child, mother and
other relatives. Seiler leaves a wife and

A Broken Leg Causes Two Deaths.
West Superior, Wia., Feb. 27.—As a
result of what was considered a trifling
accident on Monday, Conductor Bob
Daffy of tbe Omaha railroa^ haa 'just
died, and his aged father a topped dead
on heari.vg'Of his <. boy’s death. Duffy
was one of the best \known conductors
in the northwest. Monday evening he

lint suffering no other in juries, appa
rently. On Tuesday he sank into a stu
por from which Dr. Conlor was finable
to arouse him. His case is remarkable,
even in railroad surgery, for although
his death was dne to pressure on the
brain, caused by blood flowing from ..
rupture of a vessel in the spinal column,
he suffered no pain nor paralysis, and a
few minutes before he became uncon
scious sat np and wrote a letter.

Palmer** Presidential Dream*
Springfield, Ills., Feb. 26.—Senator
Palmer is resting from the labor and
excitement attendant upon official life
at national capital. He receives many
calls from hia old friends and neighbors
as well as from Democrats from other
portions of the state who chance to be
called to the capital. One of his callers
was Hon. Thomas W. McNeely of Men
ard oonnty, a former member of oon-
gress. He reports the Democrats of his
connty as practically a unit for sending
a strong delegation to the national con
vention instructed for Palmer. Mr.
McNeely himself has an ambition to be

get that mnch coveted plum he wonld
be gratified to see bis name placed on

CRAZBD BY THE CHICAGO FIRE
A Woman Who Lost Her Reason, ;Her
Home and Her Child.
From the Chicago Times:
There are two victims of the Chicago
fire in the insane asylums of Worcester
and Boston, and tbe &t iries of their mi»-
f rcunea in the terrible Chicago confla
gration are told in a singsong fashion to
visitors by the attend ints at the two in
stitutions. The vie im s t Bo?ton is
Mrs. Amanda Klein, who lived in a
splendid residence on Dearborn avenue,
near Ohio stre, t. The pathos that lies
in her lit: stcry is unpsral-led.
Mr?. Klein was tbe wit: c.f Henry T.
Klein, who, bet re the firr, kept a com
mission store on Randolph street, nor
Hals ted, which at that time was as the
commission booses what South Water
street is today. Klein was » ealthr, and
his wife was allowed e v ery luxury that
money could bay. She had been married
but three years when tbe fire broke ont
on the bl ak October night, and was the
mother of a pretty 3-montbs ol I baby.
Her basband’s business required fre
quent, railroad trip*, and on the nig'-t
of the fire he was in Racine, Wis., un
conscious of the terrible calamity that
was to befall bis happy family. When
the fire swept across the river and be
gan to devour tbe great business
blocks in tbe c ntre of the city, Mrs.
Klein was not in tbe least alarmed, but
before she was aware of tbe fact the
fiend bad seiz-d her own palatial
home.
When she saw the flames leaping an
grily at her homo, like nearly all her
sex in snob a momeLt of dread, she let
her head and began wildly to prepare'
for fl : gV. The heat was terrific, and
she had time only to take in her arms
her baby, and a pi’cher which con
tained her jewi Is, money, notes and
bonus. iTbe tire had completely
wrapped her home when she rushed
blindly i> to the street ai d joined tbe
terror-stricken horde o>f humanity that
was crowding the lake shore.
None of (hat vast crowd was more
terror-staicken than Mrs. Klein. The
one faint gleam o>f reason that did
dawn on tier mind was that with both
arms 1-iden with precious burdens she
could but poorly fight for the life of
herself and babe in that maddened
throng.
Suddenly she rememberer a dry cis
tern in the rear of a neighbor’s house
and in a moment she decid' d to throw
the pitcher with its contents into the
cistern, wht re she could recover it af
ter the fire had run its course- The
roar of the flames, tbe shrieks of the wo
men, and the yells and curses of the
men hud driven her frantic Quickly
she threw, as she thought, the pi'eber
into the well and.f->l ling her babe clos
er to her arms, she sped toward the ha
ven of rtfuge on the shore of the like.
Only those who participated in that
wful scene will be able to ever imag
ine what a desperate struggle for life
was that crushing, grinding, faltering
race from tbe flam**.
More dead than alive she renchefl the
shore a: d sank emanated. Wh< n slip
could recover her breath shoplifted the
shawl which she had thrown over her
shoulders and looked down at—a white
china pitcher. A wild, n>i-d laugh
burst, from her pann
ed lips a moment after she
had made hi r a« ful discovery, ami an
other bright young mind was wnck< d
for ever. In the terror of the awful
night <>f flame and fury she bad, by mis
take, thrown’be child into the unus< d
stern land c r fully cirri^d the pitch
er of bonds and money to safety on the
shore. \ <
Those who were nearest the unfor
tunate woman when they discovered
that she bad become insane, took care
f her urt'l the military were placed in
charge of the city. Then, wi>n many
others who had lost their reason through
tbe awful calamity, she was c nvey»d
to Johnson street station on the west
sidd. Two days later she was adjudged
insane and ord'red to the insane asyl
um at Elg-n. Mr. Klein bad in th
meantime lost track < f bis wife, and
waR driven almost to the verge of in
sanity by his de-pair and anxiety. , _
One day he picked ujjjy;fi "read the
story of a dementi fi^Toaian at E'gin,
who night and day hugged to her breast
a pitcher filled with bonds, money and
jewelry. The boeds were urit-de out in
tbe the name of Henry D Klein. Tbe
anf >rtun 11« husband hurried to Elgin
and there found bis poor wife.
He settled diwn in business in Bos
ton, and had bis wife removed to th
institution in South Boston a>> th-t he
might visit her at brief intervals. Any
visitor to tbe asylum may see her in tin
priv. te ward, r jcking herst If in a low-
rocking chair, crooning to a badly
cracked white pitcher
Hush my darling, go to sleep,
While night’s shadows softly creep.
This is the lullaby she sing, to that
old pitcher. If a yisitor talks to her he
will find her mind is a blank to all ex
cept “the big, big fire.” She will give
a startlingly realistic description of that
terrible n>ght, and always con ludes the
recital witn th**sentence: “ThankGod
I saved baby.” Mr Klein died last year,
He left a brother, who is in the retail
dry goods business on the -southwest
side. The income from the bonds saved
by Mrs. Klein tbe night of tbe fire in
sures her a comfortable home and com
potent care as long as she lives.

Lexington, Gs., Feft 27.—(Special.]
—The republicans of Oglethorpe county
met in convention at the Old Fellows’
hall in Lexington on the 27th Inst., to
elect delegates to the District Conven
tion at Athens which will convene on
tbe 19th of M*rch next. M. B. Morton
and Mat Davis, both of Athene, were
the rivals for the honor of representing
the district in the National Convention.
Their friends worked inces3antlv until
the meeting was called to order and
officers elected. At this point it was
proposed that the Morton men should
occupy one side of the hall and the
Davis men the other.
When tbe division oame it was seen
the Morton men were largely in the
majority, whereupon Davis and his
men left the hall and - abandoned the
convention, even carrying away'tbe
chairman who was a strong Davis man.
Two-thirds of the members of the con

and after a fair and orderly election,
delegates were elected and instructed
to vote for Morton, as would have been
the case if Davis and his men had not

ready for wi atever may come. But anx
iery and worry are no part of preparation.
Anxiety is not forethought The more
there is of the one, the less there is of tbe
other. Many a one spends the hours of
night worrying over next cay’s anticipated
evil which may not come st all, and could
he' easily conquered, if it does come, if
those hours ol worry had been given to
sleep. The brat preparation for tomorrow,
and the best defence against its evil, is to
have done fully the duty of to-day. Jesus
-ilways insists on this preparation; this
sort of forethought —The Inquirer.

for the purpose of effecting a compro
mise, by which the administration will
lend its efforts to the calling of an inter

will agree to prevent the passage of a
free coinage bill this session of congress.
The secretary replied that there wsa
nothing in the report, and that it might
be deniad on his (the secretary’s) author

both out of the city. This the secretary
referred to an evidence that there can he
no inesting between himself and the
senators named, as he himself expects
to leave the city in tbe afternoon for
New York, en route to Europe.
"Both the sub-treasury and free M
age schemes are losing strength among
the farmers. In Michigan the former
will be dropped and the latter most
give way to the tariff. The conference
will authorize the calling of a national
convention and pot a presidential candi

dealing with the land question, the tar

fort will be made to get a more radical
declaration on the tariff subject than
any party has yet ventured. It will go
as near the demand for absolute free
trade as will be possible. *
