CHARLESTON, s. c., June 25.-The
evidence of Marie Bardayron, Mrs.
Dawson's French maid, was the feature
of the Mellow murder trial to-day. She
was brought here by Mrs. Dawson from
Geneva, Switzerland, two years ago. as
governess for her children. She is
twenty years old, and handsome bru-
nette with dark hair and eyes. an in
telligent face, and well developed
form. She attracted the attention or
every spectator i'll court. She under
stands English, but speaks it imper-
through an interpreter was objected
to by McDow's counsel, and she
spoke in English. Her manner was col
lected, and throughout the ordeal she
bore herself with an air of innocence.
She successfully combated all the at
tempts of Judge Magrath, McDow's
counsel, to elicit something that would
weaken her testimony. Her first meet
ing with Mellow, she testified, was on
the first of last February. He met her
on the street and asked her to run away
with him. She told him that she would
not do it; she would not leave Mrs.
Dawson for anything. He met her
quietly on the street after that and per-
secuted her with his attentions when
she was going to school with Capt.
Dawson's children and when she was
returning home. He visited her sew
eral times at Capt. Dawson's house
when Mrs. Dawson was in Washington
and Capt. Dawson was at his work IN
the News and Courier office. He sent
her flowers and poetry and gave her a
watch to remember him by. BE told
her that he had married German
woman for her money; that his mar
ried life was unhappy and that ne
wanted her to run away with him and
marry him. Mellow told her he could
not get a divorce from his wife in
Charleston, but would take witness to
North Carolina and after securing a
divorce would marry her. She gave
Mellow book bearing the title ''Be-
twixt Love and Law" She had never
read it but knew about what its con-
tents were. 1t was, she said, a story
about married woman in love with
man. In her case the situation was
reversed and was the case OF married
man in love with a woman. McDOW
had taken a photograph from her and
had kissed her ''twO times" and "only
two times" She knew that McDOw's
conduct towards her was not proper.
She had never told any Of Capt. Daw,
sons family about the affair. She did
not love McDow. She felt for his mis-
fortune, and she had a feeling of kind
ness for him. She believed if she had
given herself to him he would have sup
ported her. She believed him while he
was talking to her. The woman's story
was told without excitement. She
shrugged her shoulders, as is
usual with French women, when
she did not understand a ques-
tion, but made good impress n
by her conduct on the stand. The case

take the stand. The argument will
probably not begin before Friday.

A VILE DEN
Where the Ruin Of Girls Was
StOpped by the Police.

Where the Ruin of Girls Was
Stopped by the Police.
In an old rookery on East Fourth
street, between Rosabel and Broadway
streets, has for some time existed one of
the most infamous dives in the city. At
the extreme easterly end of the pile Of
dilapidated frame buildings, near
the corner of Broadway and
Fourth streets. is the place referred to.
The twO-story building was erected be-
fore the streets in that vicinity were
built up to the established grade, and
the dive is now entered from the second
story by stepping down two or three
feet from the sidewalk. Perhaps the
first thing observed of the place from
the outside is the sign, ''Street Car
Waiting ROom," which is conspicuous
on the Broadway street side. Reading
the proprietor's sign, 'Charles Pet
wick, Confectionery, Cigars and To-
bacco," the casual observer peers down
into the place and sees small stock of
candies, fruits and tObaccos, but gener-
the passer-by stumble down the
steps, through the low door and into the
shop, however, the proprietor soon
makes himself known. A door in the
rear of the room suddenly opens, and
Petwick shoots himself into his ''store"
ON wheel chair. Though he claims to
be a Spaniard, Petwick is a col
ored man, about forty years of
age, and is so badly malformed
that he has no use of his lower limbs
whatever. So much for the joint as it
appears to those not posted as to it's
character. The police know more Of
PetWick and his place. It is very sell
dom that visit to the back
room, where the cripple spends
most Of his time, or
into the basement, would not reveal
one or more young girls enticed there
for immoral purposes. Yesterday after
noon an old German complained to
Chief Clark that his daughter had been
there for several days. Lieut.: Budy
case, and proceeding to Petwick's,
arrested the girl, Lizzie Anderson, and
another girl named Emma PfeiI. who
was found with her. Neither OF them
was over sixteen years of age, and
from the story of the Anderson girl she
has frequented the dive during
the past two years. Both of
them had been there since Sun
day, and had been visited by
the lowest of men. The Pfeil girl told
how they had been lured into the place
and then compelled to stay there, sell
ing beer and bartering their very souls
to the lustful brutes who came there.
She also stated that girls from the
great shoe factories in that vi
cinity we're in the habit of
coming there Moons and nights, stating
the names of several who met men there
Petwick will be arrested early this
morning, and an attempt will be made
to effectively close the damnable dive,
in which SO many young girls have been
lured to a fate worse than death.

though Mike was still kept under sur
veillance. Later evidence was pro-
duced by detectives which frightened
Mike into q full confession on Jan. 5,
1889. On Feb. Z, Mike was brought to
trial. and, after four days Of dramatic
excitement In court, he was found
guilty.
1t was stated this evening by one of
tile clergymen who attended Michael
ERizello, alias ''Red-NOsed Mike" that
he has in his possession confession
covering fifty-six pages OF manuscript,
in which the murderer gives truthful
and detailed account of the tragedy for
which he was hanged this morning.
The confession is written in Italian.
and its contents have not been fully
translated yet, but it is learned that he
admits having shot both Mcclure and
Flanagan, and believed that his weapon
caused the death in both cases, though
,BevevinO aud Vallela both fired one or
more shots. Mike still claimed that he
took part only under compulsiOn, and
through fear of his desperate accom-
'plices.

q PHILADELPHIA, June 25.-Mrs. Sarah
aJa4e Whiteling was hanged this morn
ring in the corridor of the county prison.
The drop fell at 1O:O7 o'clock, and the
body was lowered and removed at 10:41.
The woman's bearing throughout the
terrible ordeal was most remarkable
exhibition of fortitude and resignation
to her fate. During the entire morning
she never for moment showed the
slightest evidence of weakness, and fire.
quently expressed her pleasure at the
prospect of meeting her husband and
children. The crime for which Mrs.
Whiteling suffered the extreme penalty
of the law was the deliberate poisoning
of her husband and two children, with
arsenic, for the purpose of securing the
small insurance which she carried on
both of their lives, The only witnesses
of the execution were the sheriff and his
deputies, the prison officials, physicians
and about a dozen newspaper men.
This was the first execution OF female
in Philadelphia county. There have,

Herd of Horses.
EMPoR1A, Kan, June 25.-About ten
days ago good deal Of excitement was
occasloned in Pike township and ada
cent regions in this county by the theft
of fourteen head of horses from two
farmers living near the Lyon county
line. At the same time Daniel Triggs
and man named Moore lett for Okla
homa. Itappears that a gigantic cOnspir-
acy was hatched by several persons to
steal all the stock which could be found
and make away with it to the territory.
When the time came for executing
the plans, dissensions arose among the
conspirators. and Triggs and Moore
broke away from the others and deter
mined to act on their own hook. Hints
dropped by several men, who are now
known to have been involved in the
conspiracy, put the officers on the trail
of Triggs and Moore and they we're ar
rested to-day at Augusta with the
stolen horses. Other arrests are ex-
Dected to follow.

THEORY AND PRACTICE.

President HARRISON was a senator
from Indiana, and made speech in the
senate. March 26, 1856. He was talking
about the administration, and praising
civil service reform. Having his relig-
ion with him, he used this language:
I do lift up a hearty prayer that we may
never have president who will not either
pursue and compel his cabinet advisers to
pursue, the civil service policy pure and
simple, and upon just basis, allowing men
accused to be heard, and deciding against
them only on competent proof and fairly
either have that kind of civil service, or tor
Gods sake, let us have that other frank and
bold, if brutal, method of turning men and
women out simply for political opinion. Let
us have one or the other.
In view of the fact that one of the
men subject to his compulsion has been
for three months turning out about
1000 officials a week for political rea-
sons only, and the president has only
less expertly devoted his time to the
same business, allowing none of the ac-
cused to be heard, if there were in any
case other than political opinions in
volved, it may be questioned which
horn Of his ''hearty prayer" is being
illustrated. But in 1886 he expected to
be sent back to the senate, and didn't
really believe the people would find a
president under his small hat.

that by such irregular methods the rate
was reduced from $50 to 500 by the Rock
Island route. 1t therefore asked per-
mission to make an open rate of S26.
The Alton people contended that there
were 600 tickets in the hands of Denver
brokers, 400 of which were being sold at
reduced rates. The Rock Island officials
emphatically denied this assertion. The
whole matter was left with Chairman
Abbott for decision.

THE OLDEST NEWSPAPER.

The Pekin Gazette, in China, claims to
have reached it's thousandth anniversary,
and there is no particular occasion to
doubt it's tally, although it is not in
sisted that a full copy of the files has
been preserved. 1t may be safely wa
gered that when any American paper has
a record of a straight thousand years, it
will have more to show for it than the
Pekin sheet has. But a thousand years
ago there was no great demand for
newspapers. If there were any pub
lished on this continent, they left no
traces. There were some rather intelli-
gent people who built cities in Arizona
and Central America. but their dates
and literary attainments are not very
familiar. COLUMBUS did not start e.,
his trip for 600 years later. There are
some advantages in having newspaper
record of thousand years. The jokes
and funnvgraphs can be reprinted every
two or three centuries, with no old sub
scribers asserting that he had read
them when boy. Still, it is an expert
ence that will not be had for some time
out of China, and that country doesn't
count much.
