Gov. Richardson Commutes the Sen
fences of Two Murderers.
COLUMBIA, s. c., Jan. 6.-Lafayette
Wood and Calvin Clayburne, two convicted
murderers under sentence of death, who
were to be executed next Friday, had their
sentences commuted to life Imprisonment
by Gov. Richardson to-day. Woods
was convicted of numbering ms
stepson, lad years old,
by whipping him so severely that the
boy died the same night. The defense
claimed that the charge was the result of a
conspiracy formed by the chief witnes3Afor
the prosecution, who had been caught Steal
ing corn by Woods The evidence was
mainly circumstantial, and the commuta-
ton was granted on the representation that
no malice was shown.
CLAYBURNE's CRIME.
Clayburne killed the father of a married
woman whom he had led astray, and the
deed was committed at a church meeting
where Clayburne and the woman had
after trial, been expelled. The plea of self
defense was put in, but not established.
The solicitor however, stated his belief that
if the defendant had been white man with
influential friends, he might have escaped

SILCOTT'S DIZZY BLONDE.
SHE IS IN NEW YORK, AND He
MAY BE NOT FAR OFT.

The Last Meeting Of the Investigating
Committee to be Held This Week
Il Win Report in Favor of Reim-
bursting the Members-The Woman
Watched.
WASHINGTON, jar. chairman Adams
If the Silcott investigating committee has
issued a call for what NAV prove 70 be the
final gathering Of the Investigators Of the
afTairsof the sergeant-at arms Of the House
Of Representatives. The meeting will b.
held on "Wednesday OF this week. At this
meeting it is proposed to submit a bill, which
will be presented to the House, making a
recommendation for the reimbursement Of
the Representatives who lost their salaries
by the embezzlement Of Silcott, and if the
proposition fails to 60 through the House, a
motion will be made to discharge the CON-
mittee from the further consideration of
the matter.
WHAT a COMMITTEEMAN SAYS.
''We have already given great deal Of
our time and attention to this subject" said
a member of the committee to-day, land it
now remains for the House to determine
whether or not our recommendation is a
j
Is decided Will be satisfactory to the COM
mitiee, for luckily few Of these who
have Inves igated the shortage in the SER
geantat-arms' Office, were caught by the
fugitive cashier. One of the results Of Of
fe ing a reward Of $1,000 for the capture of
SilcJtt has been to stimulate the au hori-
ties in cities where the fugitive is likely to
have sought refuge to make more
thorough search than they would otherwise
have done
MAY BE IN THIS COUNTRY.
There is an impression prevalent about
the capitol that, despite the hue. and cry
raised about Silcott, the embezZling cashier
has not been beyond the jurisdiction of the
United States since he left Washington.
Attention is called to the fact that the
blonde woman, who occupied so much Of
his time while III this city, has been in New
York for the past two weeks at house on
Forty-sixth street, and she has been in COM
munication with friends here during that
period.
THE WOMAN WATCHED.
This has been brought to the knowledge
of the members of the committee, aud
steps have been taken TO have the woman
kept well under surveillance constantly IN
tue hope that she may in an unguarded
moment betray the whereabouts of the
much-wanted Silcott. When the commit
mittee's report is submitted to the House,
which viii probably be done this week,
there is good prospect for lively time
over some of the developments that will
necessarily be brought out in debate.

A CARNIVAL IN CUBA.
Turning Sunday into Day for Most
Riotous Merrymaking.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.

NlObOuS IAdkluS.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer
HAVANA, Dec. 31.-Carnival day in Cuba
is a great event, and the holiday season in
the United States is tame in comparison
with it. 1t is celebrated as a sort of church
festival. 1t seemed strange in this Catholic
country to awaken Sunday morning a, d
find the whole city on the Qlti UiUe of ex-
recitation and of busy preparation for a
carnival The day was beautiful, the heat
of a tropical sun being tempered by a fresh
breeze, ard the weather not uncomfortable
until midday. The stores were open. the
cafes were swarming with people, and there
was an air of general enjoyment all over
the place. A little after o'clock in the
afternoon werd was passed that the
procession was coming, and occupying
a seat overlooking the beautiful plaza, we
remained for three hours watching the
merry-m kers as they passed. All classes
aud conditions mingled in the parading
tlrong; men, women, and children, the
high and low, the rich and poor all seemed
equally intent on having sport. There was
no particular attempt at masquerade.
A few ladies wore "dominoes and masks
The great bulk of women sat in open car
riages, bonnotlesS, and dressed in full even
ing attire.
The procession was queer one. Follow
ing Que another there we're a magnificent
four-in-hand, owned by rich planter;
carriage seating two, which could be hired
for the occasion Tor a couple of dollars: a
magnificent tandem; a splendid horse
hitchei singly to an elegant carriage; all
resembling the better class of turnoutS YOU
have in the United States, and horses har-
ness and vehicles all coming from there.
The Spanish women are said to be beauti-
full. l fail to see 1t when they are COM
pared with American women. They are
slight of frame, with sallow compilations
aud covered beyond recognition with pow
der and paint. The effort of Spanish
ladies seems to be to Iuake their artificial
adornments as conspicuous as possible.
There were some seductive types of beauty
that wTe unexceptionable. Yet after
three hours gazing upon the high and low,
the ellie, mi1dle-claSs and common people.
the percentage of women that would strike
the American eye as comparing favorably
with the fresh, vigorous, natural womanly
beauty Of Uncle Sans daughters was ex-
ceedingly small.
If there were hustle, gayety and revelry
among the people of this Cuban metropolis
in the DAYTIME, what can be said of the
nights In the sunlight there was a stream
of fashion, wealth, and poverty that mingled
in the proce sion which bswllde ed and DER
picked one who revered the Sabbath. The
