A BLOODY TRAGEDY.
Captain Griffin Found Dead In
Atojar Evans’ Room at
Co'umbia, 5. C.
Saturday afternoon at 3 o’clock
Capiaiu John .T. Grifiln, commercial
agent of the Norfolk, and Western
railroad, ■was shot to death iu the
rooms of Major Bernard B. Evans in
Columbia, S. C. The arrest of Major
Evans subsequently created a pro
nonneed sensatiou.
The two were alone, and occupants
of adjoining apartments were at din
ner. Major Evans summoned a phy
sician, saying that a mau was hurt in
his rooms. Dr. li. W. Gibbes found
Captain Griflin lying in a dying con
dition and speechless 011 Major Evans’
bed. A 44-caliber Colt’s revolver bul
let had entered just above the left
nipple.
When Dr. Gibbes announced that
Griffin was dying, he declares that
Evans, who had been drinking heavi
ly, became wildly excited and exclaim
ed that Dr. Gibbes lied; that Dr.
Gibbes and not he himself had killed
Griffin. The physician, under pre
text of replacing a broken instrument,
managed to get out of the room, al
though Evans declared that he should
not do so.
Dr. Gibbes summoned the police
and they were refused admittance un
til Judge Ernest Gary, a cousin of
Evans, arrived and demanded admit
tanee and submission to the officers.
Evans struck Judge Gary and was
taken to jail in a state of hysteria,
having declared that Griffin had taken
his own life.
In the room were evidences of the
fact that one or both of the men had
been drinking. Aside from this there
is no reason why Griffin should have
killed himself or that Evans should
have shot him.
The dead man’s face was bruised on
both sides and there was an abrasion
of the skin on the bridge of the nose.
His walking cane, clotted with blood,
was several feet from where blood
marks indicated that the fatal shot had
taken effect.
The coroner’s jury Sunday after
noon rendered a verdict that to the
best of its belief the death of Captain
•J. J. Griffin was caused by a gunshot
wound inflicted at the hands of Majoi
B. B. Evans.
Captain Griffin served in the confed
erate army with a company from M
con, Ga., and after the war entered the
railroad service. He had the position
of general freight agent of the Easl
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia at
Atlanta, Ga., for many years, and sub
sequently went to the Norfolk and
Western. Two years ago he was as
signed to the South Carolina territory.
Major Evans is a son of Brigadier
| General N. G. Evans and a nephew of
I Major General Mart W. Gary, of the
late Confederate army. He is a broth
er of former Governor John Gary Ev
and, who was adjutant general in 1898,
and was himself in the Havana post
office department at that time. He is
well known in militia and political cir
cles, having twice received a large vote
for railroad commissioner. He and
the present lieutenant governor, James
xl. Tillman, fought a bloodless duel in
Edgefield some years ago.
Captain Griffin had quite a large
family. He is survived by a wife and
seven children, four sons and three
daughters. His famiiy continued to
reside in Atlanta up to a short time
ago, w hen they joined him in Colum
bia.
There are many theories for the
killing, but none have much to sup
port them. It is known that Major
Evans was in financial straits.
Only a part of the available testi
mony was brought out by the coroner,
but the jury was unanimous on the
first vote, and the verdict has been
generally accepted as proper.
THAT MANILA SCANDAL.
Investigation Reveals That Charges of
Big Steal Were Well Founded.
A Manila special says: The trial of
Sergeant Memson, the first case in the
commissary scandals, began with the
startling disclosures expected. Two
witnesses testified that quantities of
flour were taken from a government
warehouse and sold by three commis
sary sergeants and two others, who
divided the proceeds. Finnick, pro
prietor of an American bakery, was
incriminated, and other business men
were also involved. The extent of
the illegal sales has not been ascer
tained.

A special to the Chicago Tribunt

Many of the Rewlv enlisted soldiers
of the Fourteenth cavalry regiment,
recruiting here, have deserted.
The missing soldiers are nearly all
young recruits and were from com
panies of the new regiment. Friday
was their first pay day and the deser
ters came to the city, many boaiding
departing trains. The exact number
of men missing is not known, but it is
said to be in the neighborhood of 160.

In Manila.
At Monday’s session of the Cuban
constitutional convention at Havana,
five delegates, Seuors Tamayo,Capote,
Berriel, Portuondo and Lorente, were
} appointed a commission to visit Wash
| iugton to lay before President McKin
ley the desires of the convention re
garding the future relations between
Cuba and the United States.
The commission was instructed to
confer with Governor General Wood
regarding the date of departure and
the best conditions for an interview
with the president.
A Washington dispatch says: The
committee of the Cuban constitutional
convention appointed to visit Wash
ington for consultation regarding the
Platt amendment are assured of an
interview with the chief executive.
They will be compelled, however, to
hasten their departure for Washington
if they hope to seethe president before
he leaves ou his western trip.
The administration is anxious to
accord every facility to the members
of the convention for ascertaining the
intents and purposes of this govern
ment as embodied in the amendment,
believiug that in the end the Cubans
will realize that its acceptance by them
will prove for the best interests of
both countries.

The animal convention of the Amor
ictin Academy of Political and Social
Seti nee anjoumed at Philadelphia
Siiiurdiiy night. The closing day’?
besi-iuins were devoted to consideration
of dn* race problem of the south and
our newly acquired West Indian pos
sessions. President George T. Win
ston, of the North Carolina college ol
agriculture, and Professor W. E. Burg
hardt Dubois, of the Atlanta univer
sity, discussed the negro question
from opposite points of view at the
afternoon session. At night. Senator
Platt, of Connecticut, and Charles M.
Pepper spoke on the Cuban and Porte
Rican phase of the race question.
In Ins address, Mr. Winston said in
part: “The two races are drifting
apart. They were closer together in
slavery than they have been since.
Old-time sympathies, friendships and
affections created by two centuries ol
slavery are rapidly passing away. A
single generation of freedom has pro
duced indifference, mistrust and prej
udices. Unless a change is made the
coming generation will be separated
by active hatred and hostility. The
condition of the negro is indeed piti
fill, and his prospects for the future
arc tlark and gloomy. There is no so
Union for the problem, unless it is
dealt with from the standpoint of rea
son and experience without prejudice
or fanaticism.”
CUBANS RELENT.
Reconsider Action In Turning Down
Piatt Amendment.
A special from Havanua says: At
Saturday’s secret session of the con
stitutional convention Senor Nunez
asked that the convention either reject
or accept the Platt amendment as the
resolution adopted Friday was not. a
formal declaration and was misleading.
The conservatives considered the reso
lution practically rejected the amend
ment, while the radicals and the radi
cal press maintained that it did not.,
and Senor Nunez therefore asked that
a yea and nay vote be takeu. This
was opposed by the radicals, who have
always avoided taking a decided
stand.
The conservatives were pleased at
the point, and as a split was threatened
among the radicals, a compromise was
offered and agreed to by the terms ol
which a resolution was adopted that
the convention should not express
itself either for or against the amend
ment and that a commission be sent to
Washington to reach the best possible
agreement with the president. This
commission will not be authorized to
settle definitely the question of the
relations between the United States
and Cuba, but will report back to the
convention.

CATHOLICS ON RLCORD
Church Representatives Are Em
phatically Opposed to State
Control of School System.
A declaration of the Calholic posi
tion on education in the United States
was adopted Friday at the closing
session of the national conference of
the Association of Catholic Colleges
The resolutions comprising the de
claration received the unanimous as
sent of the representatives of seventy
different colleges, the entire ccdlogiat#
system of the Catholic church in Amer

The declaration adopted was as fol
lows:
“1. That this Association of Oath
olic Colleges request its president,
lit. Rev. Thomas Conaty, to lespect
fully call the attention of the bishops
of the United States, at their annual
meeting, to the work of this confer
ence in regard to onr collegiate condi
tions, and especially to the import
ance of the high school movement.
“2. That, the tendency of educational
legislation forces ns to warn our Oath
lie people of the systematic ana well
defined effort in certain qnarters to
ward absolute state control in educa
tion,thereby threatening and crippling
all private educational effort, thus de
priving a large proportion of the citi
zens of the liberty of maintaingschools
m which their religion ahull be mads
an essential element.
That we remind legislators of
the rights of conscience guaranteed to
us by otir American citizenship, and
call their attention to the system of
schools which our people have main
tained at great expense and sacrifice,
“4. That we protest against the un
fair and unjust discriminations result
ing from much of the educational
legislation, and we appeal to the lair
miudedness and sense of justice of the
American people to protect us from
such illiberality.
“5. That this conference of Catho
lic colleges convinces us that we are
justified iu asserting that onr college
system deserves the generons co-oper
ation of all interests in higher Catho
lic education; and we pledge onr
selves to use every effort to perfect still
more our collegiate education.
“6. That we call upon all Catholic*
to recognize the imperative need of *
more perfect organization of our edu
cational system, and we assure them
that with a fuller development of th#
Catholic high school we shall have a
complete system, with its headship in
the university, and thus we shall con
tinue to maintain a high collegiat#
standard.”

not able to enter a broad denial of the
accuracy of the interviews. Reflec

etiquette, and it is confidently hoped
