ATHENS BANNEE = TUESDAY MOBNING MARCH l, 1892 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 Silas Hauna, night watchman at the ynnls. The two men were standing on 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 and partly telescoped a lot of box cars, crushing the unsuspecting victims to death. Hanna lived twenty mmntes. He leaves a wife, child, mother and other relatives. Seiler leaves a wife and five girl children. Burglars Come to Little Rock, Feb. 27, Chicago crooks, G. B.

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.

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.

But, kind as he Nero bad not been trained to .the ness, an^ after going a few roc stopped and refused to go any fi He sat down in the harness, and ing could induce him to move, was the older of the two girls, and undertook to give Nero a lesson. Br ing a stick from an apple-tree in door yard, she struck the dog a blow. He had never been struck before it made him very angry. The was that he made a plunge into middle of the road, upsetting the and dragging it after him until he out of sight Sometime after his young drivers found him in tbe at where he waa evidently trying te from his tormentors. He seemed qi disgusted with this new experience, i When the father of the little j came home to dinner he was surp to learn what had happened. After thi meal was over be said to them let ub see what I can do. Tbis is st' business for yon, isn’t it, Nero? Pi fellow I” The words drew a respona wag of the tail from Nero.

Don’t -j strike him again. If he forgets howto conduct himself, go before him and call him. Remember this as long db you j live. You can lead a dog when you carts?" not drive him.
