OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
DENIAL OF THE sIOkY THAT HE'S
NOT IN THE RACE.

Senator Germans Lack Of Informe-
ton on the Subject q Pretty Good
kefutation - Ex-Secretery Whitney
Also UNIFORMED OF ANY Such In
neutrality-suspicious. Tracey Says
he VIII Accept if Nominated.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-Some time ago
Senator Carlisle, while returning from a
visit to New York, told some of his friends
In congress that Mr.. Cleveland had told
MIN that he would not be a candidate for
President in 1892. Friends Of Mr.. Cleveland,
VINO heard the story at the time, thought
that Mr. Carlisle must have misuuder-
stood MIR. Cleveland, and they think SO
still, although the statement has now ap-
peared In cold print in the Washington
tost that Mr.. Cleveland has reached an ire
vocable determination not to run in 1892.
Mr.. Cleveland's closest friends are in the
House now, or In the Senate, so that Sena-
tor Germans statement to-day, II never
heard 1t until heard it this morning." is
entitled to the weight due any statemnt of
the party leader in the Senate.
wHITNEY's DENIAL.
Taken with ex-Secretary Whitney's state
ment last night, that ''the story has no
foundation of truth whatever" it negatives
the report that ex-Secretary Whitney and
Senator German talked the matter over on
yesterday. Mr.. Whitney returned to New
York this morning before he could be asked
about the detailed presentation of the story
In this mornings paper, but his denial was so
comprehensive as to include ell its details.
None of Mr.. Cleveland's friends In the
House gave the story any credence.
Mr.. Tracey of New York, who probably is
closer to him than any man in Washing
ton, said that it was news which was so old
that it was no longer true.
WHAT HE DID SAY.
Sometime ago Mr.. Cleveland had talked
OF refusing to run In 1892, but he has since
changed his mind, and IL nominated would
accept. Mr.. Tracy is in correspondence with
Mr.. Cleveland and had letter from him
this week which gave no intimation that he
wouldn't be a candidate, except to say in the
event that the majority of his party are
opposed to him he will not be found stand
ing in any ones way. As the only anti-free
coinage democrat who stands any chance of
being nominated, Mr.. Cleveland seems to
his friends here in honor bound not to
refuse the nomination.

After the formal acquittal he was escorted

A barn was burned about II o'clock this

to investigate the late acts of lawlessness and
unlawful hanging, and to make searching
inquiry.

ADRAMAriC SITUATION.
A Girl Refuses to Send Her Father
tho PenitentiarU

A Girl Refuses to Send Her Father to
the Penitentiary.
In one of our criminal courts Friday saws
New York special to the Philadelphia
Press, there occurred what the playwrights
would call a true dramatic situation. A
man of the name of Bradley was on trial
for assault with intent to kill His intended
victim was his own daughter, and he did
succeed in stabbing her dangerously or
painfully. The girl was put upon the wit
ness stand, and her testimony alone was
available by the prosecution to secure con-
viction. Now, this was the dramatic stu
alton. A father in danger of twenty years
| imprisonment for assault with intent to kill
his daughter. and the daughter able to free
him by withholding testimony. or to i'm
prison him virtually for life, for he is nearly
90. by telling her story.
If Fanny Davenport had this part to act
in play she would sigh and squirm, she
would compress her lips, she would roll her
eyes, and then she might stagger or pretend
to faint. If Clara Morris was to play the
part she would moan and follow
such expression by stony
stare and initiate, as far as possible,
a piece of sculpture beautiful and silent
What the Bernhardt might do nobody
could tell, because she never does these
things as other actres. es perform them; but
Bradley. this pretty girl, with scar across
her face, did do, and therein we see the
difference between what is called realism
on the stage and what realism is.
When they asked Mary Bradley to tell
her story she looked up innooently at the
judge and then she said, in q gentle voice,
as though she was reciting tale of little
consequence: "Why, don't know that my
father cut me at all. l was wrestling with
him little, and somehow or other some
thing cut my face" And then the girl
smiled sweetly upon the judge. Every body
in the court knew that she was lying,
and that she was lying to save from i'm
prisonment the father who had tried to kill
her. The judge sent her to the prisoners
dock, and she walked there as naturally as
if she was going to supper. He threatened
her with imprisonment il she did not testify,
but she only looked in half surprised way
at him and opened not her lips, and so they
had to let her father 60, and are now dis
cussing whether they shall commit the girl
to Jail for contempt.
There were no heroics, no spasms, no
signs and no mo2ns-,nothing but as dry and
undressing performance as the swear
ing Of a witness would be. Yet the situa-
ton was as intensely dramatic as anything
Sardou ever conceived.

The South Carolina Road More Econ
omically Managed Than Ever.
CHARLESTON, s. c., Feb. 2O.-It is learned
here upon unquestioned authority that all
the bondholders OF the South Carolina rail-
way have united in a reqaest to the United
States circuit court to continue thereceiver of
the road, D. II. Chamberlain, In Office indefin-
itely, and that this request will probably be
complied with by the court upon the arrival
here Of Judge Bond on Tuesday next. The
bondholders party to the suit think that the
affairs of the road can be more judiciously
and economically administered through the
court than otherwise. During the first year
of Mr.. Chamberlain's receivership the earn
Ings OF the road were 81 per cent. over and
above Its running expenses. The arrears of
interest on the bonded debt have been paid
and the balance spent on equipment and
Improvement 1t is also probable that on
the same date Mr.. Chamberlain will be ap-
pointed permanent receiver Of the three
Cs' railroad, or at least over the III miles
OF it running from Camden, s. c., to
Rutherfordton. N. G. Samuel Lord is
temporary receiver. In the event of Mr..
Chamberlains appointment the two roads
will be run IN close connection, as now it is
thought that the three Cs' road can be
speedily dragged out Of its troubles

MURDERED In HISSTORE.
TWO NEGROES KILL A MERCHANT
AT FRASER'S CROSSING.

The Crime Quickly Discovered and the
Murderous Blacks Captured-one OF
Them Makesa Confession-HeA Admits
that He and His Pal Committed the
Brunswick Robbery.
BRUNSWICK, GA, FEB. 20-Brunswick
is excited tonight over the killing OF c.
Jordan, q well-known merchant, at Frasers
crossing, on the East Tennessee road, fifteen
miles from Brunswick, and the subsequent
capturing of two negroes, Wesley Lewis
and Henry Jackson, who after being jailed
confessed the crime and also to having
held up and robbed Hudson and Fit1-
gerald here some nights ago, accounts
of which were wired in full. G. G.. Wright,
Jr., and John P. Brown of Sterling, assisted
by negro named Mai Turner captured the
murderers, and the story as learned from
their lips is thrilling. Wright said; about
o'clock this afternoon / was sitting in my
store at Sterling when Mai Turner drove
up, and raising bloody billet of wood from
the buggy seat exclaimed: Mr.. Jordan has
been murdered, and want you to capture
the men,"
ON THE TRAIL.
Wright and Brown jumped for their
rifles, and Turner from the buggy on the
trail. Turner said that he was driving by
Jordan's store, when a negro named ]. w.
Fraser yelled to him that Jordan was being
killed. He saw two negroes run from the
store. and alighting, he saw Jordan lying
in a pool of blood. He secured the club and
hastsned for help. Looking ahead. Wright
spied two men, and Turner identified them.
Auprsurn IN THE STORE
Hurrying back TO the store Wright and
Brown hid, and when the negroes got in
side jumped to their feet and covered them.
They were searched and pistol found on
one. While searching them one sprang for
a rife, but Wright throttled him and he
succumbed. The down coming Brunswick
and Western passenger was tagged, and all
arrived here safe. The negroes were
chained by their necks to one another and
tied with ropes to Wright and Brown, who
walked on each side with Winchester
A CONFESSION.
They denied being the men, but when
pressed tonight Lewis broke down and
confessed all about killing Jordan and
robbing Hudson and Fitzgerald here
Lewis confessed that the police were too
hot for them here and they reached
Fraser's on foot. There they had de-
cided to rob Jordan, but he showed fight
and they killed him. They then searched his
clothes and the store, but found no money.
They were scared away by Turner and
Fraser. II is thought they intended TO rob
Wright's store the same way. Both are
desperate men and have just finished doing
time on the county chain-gang, Lewis
having been sent up for assault and battery
and jackson for stealing.

SUGAR TRUST PROFITS.
A Stakeholder Says it Paid Him Per
Cent.

Cent.
NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-The Senate COM
mittee on laws resumed its investigation OF
the sugar trust to-day. The deputy sergeant
alarms reported that he had been unable to
serve subpqnas upon Treasurer John E.
Searles, Theodore havemyer, William Dick.
John Perry, Dick de Kost and Mr.. Hecker.
All were reported to be out of town. The
sergeant-at-arms said he was greatly ham,
pered by the people in the office Of the trust
in Wall street, as the employees did all they
could to prevent him from finding persons
wanted by the committee
The only witness whose testimony was of
interest was J. o. Bonner of Decastra
Bonner & Co. of Brooklyn. He said he
did not know the directors of the trust
when he surrendered his stock He knew
he would lose nothing by so doing. The
witness said he understood that each COM
pany was to go in the same way and that
the profits were to be turned into trust to
be divided pro rata.
WHAT HE REALIZED.
Under the trust he got IL per cent. per
year, about the same as under the company.
The witness said prices were low now be-
cause Of the great outside competition of
the companies of Claus Spreckle and others.
The combination of the several companies
in the trust made production cheaper.
Claus Doscher was placed upon the wit
ness stand. He was ignorant on trust mat
tiers. Two weeks ago he received a divi-
dend of about $25, 900.
